I'd pick Homer. Have you been to Homer's house. It's got a
0:25
backyard, a front yard. The place is like yard city. I love
0:29
his laugh. He picked a perfect time to luck in his mortgage. He's
0:33
the kindest, sweetest, most generous man ever to drive through my living room.
0:38
I'll pay for most of this. He may not be perfect, but
0:42
here's my dad. Homer gave me a kidney. It wasn't his. I
0:47
didn't need it, and it came postage too, but still a lovely gesture.
0:52
I like when Daddy's out of work is you can spend more time with

1:07
Dude, Welcome to four figure discap, the podcast where we always have
1:26
CHACUOZI is just for our dogs. This week we hit to review episode J
1:27
A B F A zero seven. It is Springfield. Up, I am
1:32
danu, I am guying. Oh, you've just put a smile of a
1:34
no ill thinking about to jet the dog in a jacuzzie. I think,
1:37
I mean hopefully enjoying it a lot more than Sanders little helped it did.
1:38
Not enjoying it and all cruelty. My top thing of this episode, or
1:44
just that scene in particular, is like killing dolphins and not looking after the
1:47
dog. I don't like this at all. No, I'm not sure the
1:49
Simpsons are taking to wealth all that well, but it seems like the kind
1:53
of things that rich people would do. It does, yeah, well,
1:56
behind behind every fortune is a great crime, as you say. But I'm
2:00
sure that Jack would have a very nice time in a in a in a
2:02
hot tub, I hope. So I'm picturing he hates bath, So he
2:06
hates bu I think he's had a proper bath in like a year. He
2:08
refused, I can tell he just refuses to get in the shower, just
2:14
hates it. But you get to the beach or whatever. He's fine because
2:15
he's in control. Natural dog. Yeah, I know what it is about
2:19
dogs. I love swimming, but its getting clean. He hates getting cleaned.
2:23
It's like Alliott, just throw him into the ocean. Well, the
2:28
thing is, we've worked it out and we've cracked the coat, and how
2:30
to get him into the bath is just go crazy with the bubble bath.
2:34
There's ship loads of bubbles in there. He'll stay in there for an hour.
2:36
He just loves it. Won't get out of the bath. He cracks
2:38
the ships to get out. Up until now it's just been like, dude,
2:40
dangle lollies over the bath and have him like dive in for it in
2:43
order to get him in there. But now he's actually bathing, which is
2:46
good. This is what Lobly Louise does to me to have a shower.
2:49
Yeah, helf over the bar, you know what I mean? Actual snickers
2:57
do that when I want to knock nickel off. What's that sneakers? Because
3:00
that well exactly it's choffle the nuts. But how you do it? Anyway,
3:05
I'm doing all right, Yes, feeling pretty good about life. Amazon
3:08
updates. So basically you tell me off air, right, So I think
3:12
it was on going down to South Pike. I think it was yes,
3:15
talking about the recent shenanigans that have been going down with Amazon and how you
3:17
you're going for the triple the triple threat, aren't you the Triple Crown or
3:22
Triple threat? On four figured discap? Oh, that's right, it's triple
3:23
threat. But the ups the The basic story this was I placed an order
3:32
on Amazon during Black Friday, summer Monday for a nice pair of jeans,
3:37
and I don't know, Amazon tracking usually pretty good, but they were saying,
3:42
oh, we're not sure when this is going to arrive. It might
3:44
arrived by this date, but maybe not. And I wasn't getting updates or
3:46
anything like. That's just dawned me though. You didn't give much time Black
3:49
the twenty first, that's true, that's true. I think I maybe waited
3:53
like a day, was waited four days. Well, we talked about as
3:59
well delivering. You just were positively orgasmic about they're gonna bring it up our
4:03
house next day. It happened today, like I literally ordered something last night
4:06
as I was going to bed, order something last night, and it came
4:09
on Shome today. So there you go. You know what I'm talking about.
4:12
Yeah, but anyway, I'd ordered these genes. They didn't arrive on
4:16
time, and I'm getting the feeling I don't know if these are lost in
4:19
the system or whatever. Yeah, but let's contact one of our friends at
4:23
Amazon HQ and see what we can find out. The very helpful person said,
4:28
oh, look, really sorry about that. Yeah, we seem to
4:30
have lost track of it. Tell you what, We'll refound your money.
4:31
And because the genes have gone up in priced since you ordered them, here's
4:35
a thirty dollars gift card. Doesn't make sense to me, No to me,
4:39
but I'm gonna roll with it. Apologize to who's hearing this story for
4:42
the second time. If you've listened to this podcast, it was just as
4:44
fascinating. It's the gift that keeps on giving. But here's the update.
4:47
Yeah, yeah, I'd received an update not from Amazon for the astraya post
4:53
saying your thing's a arriving, And I'm like, damn, you know,
4:57
got the money back, free money, got a gift got on top of
5:00
that, and I might be getting the item that I ordered. Jeff may
5:03
have paid you to have these jeans. That's correct. Jeff might be paying
5:06
to clothe me. But then I'm, like I said on the other podcast,
5:10
I'm like Zuckerberg at the end of the Social airp and I'm just refreshing,
5:13
refreshing. Where is it? It's just us in life now, just
5:15
refreshing, refreshing. It really is, because you can get that it's on
5:19
its way, but it needs to switch over to it's coming today. It's
5:25
like it's like Christmas every day. Yeah, so actually it's specially be coming
5:30
today, is it? Well? No, No, that was the other
5:31
day, wasn't it. It was Tuesday? No. No, Another package
5:36
arrived because I've ordered something else, but this one said oh, you'll be
5:40
getting this on the twelfth, And again with the tracking, it was like,
5:44
yeah, it's not saying that it's it's it's you never got it.
5:47
Yeah. Yeah, so I've received this other package. I mean, and
5:51
I saw the guy coming. I said, that looks small. But anyways,
5:59
I and I'm like, this is a book that I was really looking
6:00
forward to as well. I'm like, it's pretty good, I guess,
6:05
but now I don't know. It's it's a adds a little bit of spice
6:10
steel, it springs a little bit of salt and pepper on the everyday existence
6:13
that you know there's a package out there with my name on it. I
6:15
may get it, I may not, you know, I mean, one
6:18
of these days I'll just be sitting around the house going wearing the same old
6:24
pants and then knock, knock, knock, he's appearing new pitts that I'd
6:28
forgotten all the pet You has the door, that man not wearing no pets.
6:33
I think you've been waiting for these. I am misplaced in my pants.
6:40
I'm just going to answer the door in the tower from there to grocery
6:43
grocery bags. I'm mixed up. You know, we'll have to speak.
6:47
I'm all wearing a towel and I've misplaced my pants. Both both top quality
6:51
gags. But that's the upshot triple threat. You a double feature I am,
6:56
indeed I am. I'm a double feature creature in that I've got almost
7:00
everything I ordered from our favorite online retailer, friend of the pot of Amazon.
7:06
But but they did at least give you money. They did. You're
7:10
gonna get a freaking gift card you were hoping to get from their serve.
7:12
Maybe this was it it as well there because the universe works itself out,
7:16
mate. It's a self regulating or we did. We're giving Amazon a lot
7:21
of airtime, recent lot. It consumes your life, mate, and yours
7:25
to some degree. I buy some stuff and then I go outside new pants.
7:30
I would we would to a sanitary party on the weekend. I did.
7:33
Yes, a friend of the Lovely Luids and a friend of mine.
7:36
If I'm going to be saying this, I had her. She's of a
7:43
certain age, more my age than your age. Fit. There's a subtle
7:50
clue in there, anyone who wants to pick it up. But yeah,
7:56
Karlie, very nice person, through a very nice party which was Zenadu themed
8:01
because she loved the movie when she was growing up. And then she'll we
8:03
watched it and went ooh, it was great. Because her husband, Mitchell,
8:07
I think, is a top guy, not Mitch Grint. Also we
8:11
see he's the top guy, so he's not either defended. The movie,
8:16
guys are gonna be so much fun. By the way, next movie,
8:20
guys, we're gonna be all in the same room. I just feel like
8:22
the vibe would be better and I make the editing fucking easier. Jesus Christ.
8:28
The connection issues between yourself, myself and him. Sometimes it's all over
8:31
the shop. It certainly is. Yeah, I mean it's I think it's
8:35
easy when there's two people, even when you're not in the same room.
8:37
But yeah, wrangling three distinct voices, particularly when one of them is me
8:43
and one of them is Mitch. Yeah, that's that's an ask. But
8:46
it looks like you guys have voted for the patrons. By the way,
8:48
I you're a supporter of ours on patroon, you get to vote for what
8:50
movie view review for movie Guys. It looks like it's going to be jingle
8:54
all the way. I am in shock, which was not half which was
9:01
not But look, because I said to me, I'm like, I'm looking
9:05
forward to going back and just poking fun at the ridiculousness of the film.
9:09
You know, I don't want to sort of, you know, shove my
9:11
hand too much and sign up and get the Movie Guys podcast because it'll be
9:16
fun. Just you know, there was this stage where we were basically ignoring
9:20
the fact that the most well built man on the planet. We'd sort of
9:26
run out of scenarios where he's like he's a killer robot from the future,
9:28
or he's you know, coming to the Barbari and he's like, he's an
9:31
average guy in suburbia who wants to get a toy for his kids, like
9:35
that was his choice, onsuming you absolutely like, I'm not buying this kindergarten
9:43
cop. He's still kind of like a tough guy net though, wasn't he
9:45
Yeah, yeah, kidding, Udon copp. The comedy is that you know
9:46
he's hard, but he's also you know, looking after kids, whereas this
9:50
is gonna like you're watching it like this could be anyone. They're trying,
9:52
you're trying to act his. It's almost like, you know, it's a
9:54
Jamie Jamie I remember, like Jamie runs off annoys, Jamie come back,
10:00
you know, I think it again. We're sort of jumping ahead. I
10:03
think it would be It would be hilarious if Phil, like Great Phil happened
10:09
and Arnold had sort of swapped rolls because Jamie and Arnold being like because yeah,
10:13
and then Arnold's sort of being the the uber manho is kind of like
10:16
your wives cookies. But yeah, that would be hilarious but also very kind
10:22
of like cliche. It'd be tough guy being the one that's swinging the wife
10:24
where I just feel like Phil Harton was just so perfectly made for that role.
10:28
Though that's true. I mean, yeah, there's a great joy in
10:30
the fact that Arnold is kind of in that Phil is kind of one upping
10:33
the old alpha male and just the cuddle of his wife and the Yeah.
10:39
All right, so that enough talking about that, because we could talk about
10:41
Jim all the way and you never know what scrooged or what else. I
10:46
chose Miraicle on thirty fourth straight. Could could be a late comer. Yeah,
10:50
or when you're closing the pole to Sorrow you go all the ways of
10:54
like fifty four percent. Come on, see this guy there in the back
11:03
anyway, but we'll do that. How did we get to talking about that
11:05
about Mitch and movie guy? Oh yeah, Carly's just a refresh party,
11:13
such a pressure memory. We were talking about the party that I'd ended on
11:16
the weekend Carl's husband, Mitch got his head. I wanted to do for
11:22
the first only it sucks. It's not a good movie. It's like I
11:26
wish I had an animal and a lot of people in the crab go.
11:31
It's not a great movie. But yeah, we're all having kind of fun
11:33
and he also blew his wife's birth month because I mean that they're they were
11:41
holding a party like six months later. Oh okay, yeah, and he
11:45
said, why was she doing that? I think she wanted to have it
11:48
outside, okay, because I've got a fairly nice place and they set up
11:52
the garden very nicely because it's like a monumental age. So you're having it
11:56
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know. Oh you know when
12:01
when Galli had her birthday in Junior heard us like Joly and then he talked
12:07
about a date that they hadn'ts like, we don't have been going out for
12:09
a few months we were married. It's just like, oh, Mitch,
12:13
because everyone loves Mitch's a top guy. And then Gai made a very sweet
12:16
speech. So well, no, that was good. It was a very
12:18
it was a very nice time, except I was getting eaten a live by
12:20
mosquitos. Oh yeah, and I was next to a nice fellow. But
12:26
he was constantly saying, yeah, Mosquitos never bothered me. Oh they never
12:30
talk about it, like, yeah, well they're treating motherfucking says the buffet
12:35
Nicola. When she gets a bit of my mosquito, she like flares right
12:37
up, like I'm talking like, you know, giant cookie shaped. Oh
12:41
but you know, they just go, yeah, she's led you to everything,
12:43
that woman, I led you to everything except you Exceptano's good eleven.
12:48
So yeah, that was my weekend. How have you been? Hasn't been
12:52
well again? So that's why I think we mentioned last week. That's why
12:54
we recorded a week a day later. Maybe we didn't say on the actual
12:58
show, but Jet wasn't well last it was he and that's correct. I
13:01
took him so our man Michael bout the vet right. We love this guy,
13:05
so I took him to front of the pod. I took him to
13:07
the vet right, and the Vet was like, all right, it's going
13:09
to cost you know, for the first injection that he needs for his authorise.
13:11
Sixty seven dollars is going to come back for the first four weeks,
13:13
but it's gonna be one hundred and ten dollars for the first three times.
13:16
On top of that, because we have the page to be seen, so
13:18
it's going to be about, you know, nearly two hundred dollars a pop,
13:20
so about six hundred bucks for the first three weeks, but then after
13:22
that it's only going to be about sixty seven dollars each for each injection.
13:24
I was like, okay, cool, the time's going to be six hundred
13:26
bucks for three weeks. Caught up Michael's vett, He's like, yeah,
13:30
just cut. He's in his receptions, is like, yep, you'll bring
13:31
the injection meeting on Sunday. I'm like, cool, get there there for
13:35
about an hour waiting for my turn because there's lots of people there obviously.
13:39
Well, he's like the doctor's borders of Pets. Yeah, and everyone comes
13:41
to see him at his at his van. Yeah. Yeah, So he
13:43
comes there and it sounds shunk, but I'm telling you, like, it's
13:46
the greatest thing. Guess the jet no appearance fee of course, because he's
13:50
the man. How much you reckon you charge me? I'm fifteen dollars,
13:56
I was gonna say twenty Yeah, so unpleasantly said even more pleasant, fifteen
14:01
dollars. What can we get this guy for Christmas? I have to give
14:05
him something, right, Let's do something for me because he literally it's going
14:07
to cost me sixty dollars where it would have cost me to the eight hundred
14:11
you had the vet. That's mental, right, A good vet is worth
14:15
their weight in motherfucking platinum. Yeah, so let's shout out to all the
14:18
good vets out there, particularly a man Michael for looking after Jet as well
14:22
as he is. Because I'm like, you're taking a breakut of Christmas because
14:24
he goes, you have to come each week up for the next month before
14:28
you have to get for the first month, you have to have a weekly
14:30
and then it's every three months for these injections. Right, He's like,
14:31
I'll wait this a week. I'm like, what a fucking legend. He's
14:35
even coming like Christmas week? Does he have like a big white beard and
14:41
a red suit. It's kind of like a little bit bushy than yours,
14:43
kind of but not a big redsuit. But he's He's just a legend.
14:48
I'm in love with this guy. He sounds fantastic. Yeah yeah, what
14:52
a good man. Yeah yeah, So I highly recommend if you ever in
14:54
the Geelong area you need a vet. Michael Bell seven from seven am avalon
14:58
Raceway in his absolute fucking legend sounds sketchy. We know it's not, though,
15:05
trust Michael, it is not. So that was my weekend. I
15:07
was just just back on the men. Now he's got him. Literally,
15:09
he went to the vet, right, because he had this little little spell.
15:11
Went to the vet. He was and he recovered. She gave him
15:15
these tablets right for like the painkillers, and they were the wrong tablets,
15:18
and she gave him ointment. Right, this is the kicker. I took
15:22
him to the vet. She gave him ointment for his eyes because he conjunctivitis.
15:26
Right. The cream was human cream they can just get from the chemist.
15:28
She changed me four times. What it can gefin? I did obviously
15:31
look at She put a big giant sticker over it that says, you know,
15:33
for animal use only keep out of rich your children over the actual guide
15:37
for I've given this to kids three years and over, please use it like
15:41
this. It was human cream from the chemist. Excuse me. She changed
15:45
me seventy dollars for it, and it's like twenty three dollars at the chemist.
15:48
I think you need to who do you contact these days scams like this?
15:52
I was like, what, Nicholas like, this is the cream that
15:54
I used? And I was like, no, no, it says for
15:56
animal saw. She ripped the sticker off. She's like, that's the same.
16:00
She got the box out for Nicholas used. Yeah, she got the
16:02
box out of the pantries, like it's the same one. I'm like,
16:03
are you fucking kidding me? They just cream, They could just go and
16:07
bite themselves from the chemist conduct the worst. The painkillers made him completely dehydrated
16:15
and he couldn't sit still. And he was like, oh, I was
16:18
up to like five am one night because he couldn't sit still in his pant
16:21
and he's moving around. He's restless, and Michael said, he goes,
16:23
oh, you should shouldn't give you those. He didn't need those at all,
16:26
he would have been fine. I'm like, so I paid all this
16:27
money for nothing. I know, I sound like conspiracy theorist about vets.
16:33
I know there's probably a million, no probably this is what. There's five
16:37
percent of vets. Probably no good, this is one of them. Yeah,
16:40
exactly. I'm not saying that bad again. No, but but that
16:42
was my weekend. Besides that, that's just been fucking hot, and I've
16:47
just been trying to keep cool. Certainly has been there. Yeah, I
16:49
mean I was watching the car and I caught a glimpse of herself in the
16:53
in the rearview mirror. I'm like, oh my god, I'm literally melting.
16:59
The elephant man sweating like Rogerie. But it was incredible. How about
17:03
that movie terrify me as a kid, The Elephant Man. It was just
17:07
on TV when I was flicking through once and it's like that scene came in
17:10
and I was like, I didn't realize as a kid that he wasn't he
17:12
was wearing makeup and shots. That's what the guy looked like. Just get
17:15
the funk out of me. I'm sure I've told the story about you know,
17:18
my folks taking me see The Elephant Man at the cinema when I was
17:21
about like ten or eleven years old. If you did, I don't remember.
17:23
Oh, stay cheapest spring for that. We'll get to it, and
17:27
we'll get it a little while after. You know, Dan to one guy
17:30
just sort of, you know, talked ship. Yeah. I would have
17:33
been, yeah, about ten or eleven years old, and Bob and Margaret
17:38
were either trying to expand my artistic horizons or more likely too cheap to spring
17:44
for a sit up. So what's his name? John? The guy played
17:47
him John, John hurt John hurts it. Yeah, he had the alien
17:48
come out of his chest. Yeah, in alien. So we went to
17:52
see The Elephant Man. At what point were you just like, well,
17:56
I mean, because that was what you call a sense the kid and means
18:00
i'd cry the drop of a hat. Yeah, oh yeah, I mean
18:03
I still but I think at that stage I was kind of like, I
18:07
think Bob was a bit worried actually, because I'd be like they'd have that
18:11
you know, little harp seals and how they sort of clubbed them to get
18:15
that's sad ship that said. I remember saying that was just like, oh,
18:18
that's so sad, and I got really emotional about it at the point
18:22
where I was like, even, I know this is embarrassing, but I
18:23
can't stop. But yeah. We went to see The Elephant Man, and
18:27
you know, I was budding film nerd and all that kind of stuff and
18:30
realized, wow, this is really quite well made and moving and all this.
18:36
But you know, they're treating the Elepha Man like shit. They're treating
18:38
that poor bastard really badly. And there's a point in it which I'm sure
18:45
you remember. He's set up shop at the hospital. Everyone's reading him very
18:48
nicely, very respectfully. But the circus that used to where he was the
18:56
attraction, Yeah, yeah, they find him and like the guy who used
19:02
to just treat him terribly, comes in and tries to you know, brings
19:06
in a couple of street walkers, and they basically have a party in the
19:08
Elephant Man's room and he's built this lovely modelist church and they just fucking smash
19:12
it. They try to make him drink and everyone's just like, oh,
19:15
he's so ugly. And I'm like, this is the worst fucking thing I've
19:18
ever seen. Because I hold the mirror in front of his basically he's never
19:21
seen him because at the hospital they covered him the mirror. We see his
19:25
screens when he sees himself. Yeah, I was like, oh my god.
19:27
I mean, Elephant Man is like legitimately one of I mean, I
19:33
remember thinking I walked out of that's him going, I'm different from when I
19:36
walked in, because I thought this is an incredible work of art and it
19:38
makes me feel things I've never felt more. But the same time was also,
19:41
this is traumatizing because he knew it was like partially true. Ye yeah
19:47
yeah. Directed by David Lynch, one of the great filmmakers of all time.
19:51
So sorry that story went on for a little bit, but stay tuned
19:55
for the med guys Elephant Man. That'll be a fun one. It was
20:02
like, can we do space jam with Lebron? The general theme is movies
20:07
that fucked You up? But Springfield ups. Honestly, I went into this
20:12
having slight memories of it. I remember being like a different concept. But
20:17
I feel like from the get go it adorned to me that this has to
20:19
be treated as a non canon episode. Yeah, because margin Homer met at
20:25
high school, right or they started dating in high school, like you never
20:26
saw much for the first time until suddenly to the way we was right then
20:32
they broke sort of like the reck condit and had they had their first kiss
20:36
at camp. I guess they didn't remember the kiss. They didn't know who
20:37
they were, So that was at the way we weren't this one here they're
20:41
just at the same school. Yeah, it's almost just like taking It's like,
20:45
we want to do this concept of the UP series and just do it
20:48
in Springfield, and they're just which is it's a pretty fun idea. Yeah.
20:52
Yeah. So, I mean I don't blame them from breaking from Cannon
20:56
or continuity or anything like that. That's not cannon, but it's just you
21:00
have to you can't be annoyed at these things. It's just like I just
21:02
chewed it as non canon. You know, I think where we were thirteen
21:07
episodes into season eighteen, We've got a lot of episodes under the belt here.
21:10
So I think at this stage, if you're in for the long haul,
21:14
you're probably going, Okay, I'm going to accept this, this,
21:18
this, this, and this about life in Springfield and life for the Simpson
21:22
family. I'm going to hold these is as as gospel as canon. Anything
21:26
else. We can sort of play a bit fast and loose with I's yeah,
21:30
yeah, So, and like I said, when you've got a concept
21:33
like let's revisit these characters every eight years and see how their lives are changed
21:37
and all that kind of stuff. Have you seen a series that it's based
21:41
on I have. Yeah. I mean, I'm not sure if they still
21:44
make them. The guy that made he passed away. Yeah, he was
21:48
a very good filmmaker. Who Yeah, he passed away a few years ago,
21:51
I think, and wonder belief it was he passed away? Was it
21:53
two thousand and one? The feeling was somewhere in the twenty tens. Michael
22:00
had passed away in twenty twenty one, Okay, so oh yeah, yeah,
22:03
So it was very recent Yeah, now I've seen a few of them
22:07
because yeah, his series was the Seven Up series. He started with a
22:11
group of English school children sixty four at the age of seven. Yeah,
22:15
so they made it to sixty four or sixty three, So the first film
22:18
was titled Seven Up. Yeah, so the first one was in sixty four,
22:22
So in sixty four, that's when he started filming them. Yeah,
22:25
what I forgot when I forgot when I sort of checked out of them.
22:29
But there was a really moving one. It was maybe around thirty five,
22:33
ye, because we've got forty two up in ninety eight with that been it,
22:37
maybe yeah, but I certainly remember the thirty five one because I think
22:41
this was the one that really stuck with me because there was a little boy
22:45
named Neil who was kind of like, not the breakout star of it,
22:48
but he was like this very precocious little boy, but very charming. I
22:51
was like, Oh, this kid, could you know, not this the
22:55
other kids. Oh, this kid could really be someone. You know,
22:56
He's got that little spark about him. And by the time we reached thirty
23:00
he clearly had some mental health issues and then he was living in a van
23:03
all this kind of stuff, and you know he had great potential, but
23:08
you know, the demon sort of got the best of him in some way.
23:11
You can have all the potential in the world, but you need the
23:12
right direction of people around you. Yeah, but everyone sort of rallied around
23:17
him up to see him in thirty five ars, and I think he got
23:19
a bit of help, I believe, So I hope that's the case.
23:22
But I do remember that everyone's kind of like, oh, it was just
23:26
lovable. I'm sorry this has happened to him, but you know, hopefully
23:27
he can find his way. So thirty five Up was in ninety one.
23:30
Yeah, yeah, I think first of all, it's just a really interesting
23:34
social experiment. Australia has done a similar thing, really. Yeah. The
23:41
filmmaker Gillian Armstrong who made my brilliant career and she made a terrific version of
23:47
Little Women in the nineties. She did a similar thing with maybe a trio
23:52
of friends from Sydney, sort of catching them at a very young age and
23:56
then in their teenage years early adults. I want to say, one of
23:59
them is called smokes and Lollies. Okay, yeah, but I've only seen
24:03
bits and pieces of those as well. But I mean, yeah, I
24:04
just think it's a fascinating experiment. There's a quote that I think appted based
24:08
on his movies on, based his movies on, which was, you know,
24:11
show me the child at seven, and I'll show you the man,
24:14
I'll show you the person and he wanted to see. Is that actually the
24:18
case? So you're right, by the way, Smokes and Lollies was in
24:21
nineteen seventy six. Okay, great, Yeah, And I don't know how
24:22
many Jillian Armstrong made, but I think there was more. It's certainly more
24:26
than one. That was just the menu of a canteen at the school.
24:30
Six. Wasn't it very good? Oh? Dear spring filled up? Yeah?
24:47
I mean, like you said, I liked the concept of it.
24:48
It was interesting. I'd never heard of this up series. I just thought
24:52
that it sort of didn't couldn't work out what it was going to be.
24:55
But are you going to be just taking the piss out of this or you're
24:56
going to start trying it? Because it was almost like by the end it
24:59
is like, no, you gotta treat this like it's cannon and all that.
25:00
All the people around Springfield are saying, oh, no, you know,
25:03
we we love Homer. He's got a great lif blah blahlah. I'm
25:06
like, yeah, but none of the first half makes sense if you're gonna
25:07
treat this last half like it's cannon. Yeah, And it sort of became
25:11
a how you Homer realizing he's got a great life story, And I was
25:14
like, I don't need this shit. Just just go full full blown with
25:17
the concept. Yeah, here's the thing about it. They could have even
25:19
I would have appreciated, like, treat like I said, treat like non
25:22
cannon and show this that the family and the people in Springfield when they're older
25:26
and what they're doing when you jump ahead even for what happened to Homer when
25:30
he's sixty four, you know what I mean? That kind of keep going
25:32
with it. Not a bad idea. Actually, that would have been more
25:33
interesting to me. Yeah, what you're talking about with the the end part
25:38
where what's his name, Desmond Declan Desbert, Yeah, Eric Gidel, Yeah,
25:44
Eric Idle, it's just call on Merry Idol. Cuts together that little
25:48
super supercut of everybody likes Homer or everyone sort of everyone envies Home or likes
25:52
Homer, or you can see what he's got going for him. Yeah,
25:56
I was like, this is a nice ending. I'm not sure I'm buying
25:59
it in the context of this whole thing, but there were bits and pieces
26:03
in that little super cup where it's like, well, this is nice.
26:06
I like that very much, and we'll get to that when we get to
26:07
favorite moments as well. So I thought they've wrapped it up pretty well.
26:11
You know, it was like a Christmas present. It's like I can sort
26:15
of tell what's in here, but you know you've done You've done an admirable
26:18
job of trying to wrap it neatly. And it's a slight little nitpick.
26:22
I get this listeners, but I was appreciated if they tried to have put
26:25
on like kid voices when they were eight. I'm like, comic book Guy
26:27
just sounds like comic book guy when he's eight, and sounds like because they
26:33
did it with Lenny, Yeah, Lenny had sort of like a childish yeah,
26:38
yeah, yeah. I mean Frank just sounded like Frank and ad middally,
26:42
these are distinctive voices, so they're going to sound kind of similar,
26:47
and I guess they need to do that for I don't know certain members of
26:51
the audience who are like, who's that character? But yeah, you're right.
26:53
I mean, it would have been good if they'd sort of pitched them
26:56
a little bit higher or something like that. Yeah, but I could have.
26:59
Yeah, I'm watching his I don't care about this story at all.
27:00
I just wish they just kept going with a treater like it were watching the
27:03
actual documentary. Yeah, my favorite What were you favorite moments from the episode?
27:10
If you hadn't he I had surprisingly a few. We know what surprised
27:14
me because I came out of this and I've watched it twice. Right,
27:15
I'm like, Okay, I watch it last timement. Maybe I'm tired of
27:18
watching it agains today I'm just like, I have nothing against this, but
27:22
I'm just like, I'm just not really feeling it. Maybe this is something
27:23
not quite landing for me. And then alter the reviews, and all the
27:26
reviews were praising how some people saying that one of the best episodes of the
27:30
season. I was like, really, I wouldn't go quite that far.
27:33
But having said that, I mean, given that I've liked a lot of
27:36
it, I'm getting the feeling that the episode might be less than some of
27:38
its parts. You sort of walk away down That was okay, I guess,
27:42
But then there's a lot of bits I brought. One thing I did
27:45
agree with in retrospect was that someone was saying the jokes were coming thick and
27:49
fast, and I was like, they really were. I guess there's a
27:52
lot of I guess, so a lot of episodes now aren't necessarily joke heavy.
27:56
One it felt like gag heavy, that's true. I mean, it
27:57
did feel like it felt like maybe the writers were a little bit galvanized by
28:04
Eric girls coming to play. These guys are probably nerds who are like Mundy
28:07
Bata, so it's like we better show them that we can play at the
28:11
big boys table, yea, or the big kids table. So yeah,
28:14
there were a lot of this good like one liners or bits or whatever.
28:17
And among that was like Homer's on the couch and say, you better not
28:21
cut to me eight years later because that would be a devastating edit. It's
28:25
like, so yeah, I mean, that's as an edit to yourself,
28:27
you know, it's like the joy of a very precise edit that sort of
28:30
shows up someone who's really good. I dug that we got a crazy cat
28:34
lady origin. I like that. That's one of my favorite moments. I
28:37
was like, normally don't like when they give origin stories, but I'm like,
28:40
this one just came out of nowhere and got me. And I also
28:42
like to discost one as well, because you thought it was a sea captain.
28:45
That's the thing I wrote down here. Well the seacpt young sea captain
28:48
is kind of hunk. Yeah then, oh yeah, I like those two.
28:53
They just came out of nowhere, and I guess they're now canon IFN
28:56
know this episode is non cannon, but I'm just like, don't I felt
29:00
like they felt believable. Yeah, absolutely, this woman who had everything going
29:04
for and then she just got burnt out and doing too much and she became
29:07
a crazy cat lady. I liked Home as many side hustles. But when
29:17
Margins were talking about he's got his garage man play, he's got his playdough
29:21
theater and already come what erotic carving. Yeah, so I thought that was
29:27
a bit of a bit of a kick. Was not wrong. Return is
29:33
a really good title. I don't quite get it. I don't quite get
29:36
it, but it's good. It's like you're being on there. And also
29:41
when Homer is singing a song about Lady Satan and using the term Belzie boobs
29:47
is pretty good. I appreciated that, although I thought that was went on
29:51
forever after and this is the shortest episode in the history of the show.
29:56
Really, Yeah, it's nice because it didn't feel that's short of Simpsons episode
30:00
of all time at nineteen minutes and forty nine seconds and I'm like, well
30:03
the last three minutes with his him going set. Yeah, my lead I
30:07
wrote up for the Bels and Booms was like, oh, so you're just
30:11
riffing. Yes, so now it's just down an Eric going roll tape.
30:15
Yeah, but I think Yeah, one of my favorite moments was when is
30:21
it during that super cut where Lisa's saying you touched you went tighter than anyone
30:26
and no monsters have gotten me yet, Like, very sweet, that is
30:29
something you would want to hear from your daughter. Yes, it's like you
30:33
always get me saved from monsters. I'm almost sort of tearing I'm thinking about
30:36
It's like, that's a really sweet thing to hear. And just even like
30:37
bar it's like because when dad's got no job, he spends more time with
30:41
me. I'm like, oh that is very sweet. Yeah, he's reaching
30:42
anything. Oh what's it going to do? And it's like oh it's a
30:45
little hair ruffle. Yeah, I think it put the bey on his head
30:47
and I was like, that would have really taken away the man. Don't
30:48
do it. Yeah, don't do the season eighteen thing. Yeah, don't
30:52
do what Donnie don't does. So yeah, I liked all those a lot.
30:56

question is when home is doing? Is one man band in the garage?
32:17
There's a sign above the door. What is it? It's Main Street?
32:20
Main Street? Yes? Uh. The old man ointment that Declin finds in
32:27
the house is what no idea? What is it? It is bull moose
32:30
elbow salve. I could use some of that on my elbows because I'm constantly
32:35
editing and like my elbows on the on the table and it's like because the
32:38
other day Hollies like Awi, I'm like, what happened to your arm?
32:40
And I was like, oh shit, I look at a monster. What
32:46
was the name of crazy cat? Lady's cat? Oh, I want to
32:52
say Percy, but that's not it. No, nothing like that at all.
32:54
Actually, well, it's kind of like a word you'd say to somebody.
33:00
It's like they've pissed you off. You don't calling them a name.
33:02
It's usually to a kids like hey, get over here, buster, Buster,
33:07
Yes, like a little shithead old ship, get over here, buster.
33:14
Umm. Can you name the two hounds that that Smither's name checks when
33:19
he's going to go pick them up? Minston and ah, fuck me and
33:24
my no shadows Shadow of course, because I should have because that was my
33:30
NaN's dogs Shadow and Winston doesn't like Witster's to sit in the front be getting
33:35
along. Yes, my next question is what are the directions for the grandfather
33:39
clock? Oh god, there's so many Yes. Using the suspension string above
33:45
the pendulum leader, hang the pendulum on the pendulum guide. There's another moment
33:47
where felt without Dragon a network, where Smith's going, ah, yeah,
33:52
I'm like, you guys are killing time, really killing under twenty minutes.
33:57
What the fore finger discount was able to keep it so brief? Yeah?
34:01
All right, one last question for you. What time is the Quimby massage
34:07
appointment? Eight am, eight thirty, eight thirty damn, it can be
34:13
eight thirty every day. He's cheap, that's correct. And my final one
34:15
here is what on Lenny's checks he's got butterflies stiflies? Correct? Yeah.
34:20
I thought they kind of did Lenny dirty here, but they also sort of
34:22
pointed out that he is kind of boring. Yes, yeah, and you
34:25
haven't really been doing anything with him for like a decade. Now, that's
34:29
true. I mean, what do you primarily remember the two things you think
34:31
you remember about Lenny while I do at least on his relationship to Carl.
34:36
And secondly, don't tell anybody how I live. Yeah, and things haven't
34:38
going in his eye? That Oh that's one. And see the one is
34:43
his max what I did I did out of alcohol and anger? No,
34:45
that's that was someone else. No that it sounds like, no, no,
34:49
maybe it was him. Yeah, because he's walking past the guy with
34:51
the giant hand. Yeah, yeah he was. Yeah. I think you're
34:53
right. Yeah, it's got because that I like doing Lenny's voice well,
34:59
going up in like the gold in the nineties, Lenny felt like the normal
35:01
person and out of all the bar flives is like, I think I'm the
35:05
Lenny, but he's like the shoulder of someone to cry. I'm going to
35:08
cry on. He's the most reasonable person. He's not a drunk. He
35:12
seems like a nice person. He doesn't seem like he's got that many demons
35:15
to drown at the bar. And I like hanging out at the bar with
35:17
my buddies. It's like you rock up to her places like, oh,
35:20
Lenny's here. Fuck yeah, I have a great time, you know.
35:22
Norm Now now as they treat him like he's an annoying widow. Yeah,
35:25
and even even Carl is kind of like, yeah, why am I hanging
35:29
out with you? It's like this is not good. We don't like it,
35:31
so now I don't like it. So. The original air day of
35:37
Springfield Up was February eighteenth, two thousand and seven. It was written by
35:40
Matt Warburton and directed by Chucked Sheets and of course guests that Eric Idol as
35:45
Declan Desmond, I often have to chuck sheets. Yeah, you may wonder
35:52
why how haven't you change the bed sheets in your bed? Honestly, I
35:54
am trying to do it fortnightly. Yeah, I do it if you've got
36:00
the time to do it, but I'm probably doing it monthly. So we
36:02
have kids and dogs sleeping in the bed with this, so it's like we
36:06
have to change. I have me in my bed. I have to do
36:08
it really frequently. But I was very much of a mind like one week
36:15
towns, one week sheets, one week towns one week sheets, and it's
36:20
like these towns could use a wash man. These sits are fun. That's
36:22
like me where I'm buying like because it happens with pepsi max. Right,
36:27
So one week it's a Safeway's on special and one week at Coals, one
36:30
week at will worsts do you need to pour figure discut on more tips on
36:37
how to beat the system goes down? And I both do this with the
36:39
occasional side trick to wealdi. Yeah, and the beauty thing is on Shannon
36:44
Avenue that Coals and Wills are relatively close, so I'll go here for this
36:46
ship and here for that ship. Oh yeah, I've always maken the list
36:50
where it's like C and W C W Network imagine people, these fucking old
37:00
bitties. You're clipping coupons too. The answer is I missed couponsa howlets as
37:10
a kid was getting the Hungry Jacks fucking vouchers in the mail mate, and
37:14
my name would take us down on a school holidays. We walk down a
37:15
Hungry Jacks and get out fucking two woppers for three dollars. Oh yeah,
37:17
now it's two woppers for like ten or twelve. They're like, what is
37:21
happening here, Well, you gotta get the app you gotta get Yeah,
37:23
there was no vouchers. All they do do vouchers still, but it's one
37:25
sheet. Used to be it used to be the booklet. The way it
37:29
used to be was because hung Ja vouches in the mail the other day.
37:30
I couldnt believe. It was just like a flashback, right, but it's
37:32
just like a one sheet and yet to like cut them out right used to
37:36
be a booklet and you flick through it and be like three of the same
37:37
thing, through the same thing, through the same thing. But like those
37:39
those vouchers there, if you used it, it was like they took it
37:43
and you never got to use it again. So I was like, oh,
37:45
we're gonna use it today. I really want those poppers. I'll do
37:47
it, but today now it's just like I want to use I don't even
37:50
actually punt off the vouchers anymore. I'm just like, yeah, I want
37:52
to use that vouchers, Like yep, sure, cool, anything else you
37:53
want. The don't even asked for it anymore, isn't the great Well your
37:57
hand over a vouchel somewhere and they're like, it's right, yeah, it's
38:00
like powder, the people solid, we're all in this together. You've got
38:07
a couple more days on that one. You can use it again if you
38:08
want to, Like, oh well, yeah, right now, thank you.
38:15
But the episode kicks off with Declan Desmond and he's at the school playgrounds,
38:17
all broken and worn down and suppressing, and he says the thirty two
38:22
years ago he interviewed the school children of Springfield, and it cuts to the
38:27
black and white. Everything's intact and looking fresh, and these children around the
38:30
gamut of society, rich and poor, black and white. He'll grow into
38:36
his looks and forever hideous. My dad was a circus freak, but my
38:40
mom don't remember which one. I like to think it was a little bit
38:44
of all of them love mode sort of front on smile. Yeah. I
38:47
just love that he's like, yeah, my mom married a circus freak or
38:52
whatever, my dad was a circus freak. I one doesn't know which one.
38:54
I love a little bit of all of them. He's so cheerful.
38:58
Yeah, but that I really like. Win this episode. Yeah yeah,
39:00
I mean you didn't get a whole lot of him. But it wasn't horrible
39:04
in anyway, was he No, No, he was really sweet when Declan
39:07
showed up at the bar that time, and the gag about you know,
39:10
oh, like that's a scrambled porn channel, that's a shoe add But the
39:16
bit we had the various photos of mo throughout the years, apparently that's a
39:20
take on the appearance of Michael Jackson or something. Oh okay, apparently those
39:22
Michael Jackson's wearing similar shit. Maybe I I saw the Okay, I saw
39:28
the twenty four one where he's got the shades on. Yeah he looks pretty
39:30
cool. Yeah, but he says, yeah, you watch his documentary.
39:36
You can watch their dreams of like Muffins in the Rain and his calls it
39:38
growing up Springfield, And so everyone here is this what it was like in
39:43
the seventies everything that people want to do when they grow up. His roadbot
39:45
related not really, no, no, but I think I think there was
39:50
a stage in the seventies, probably post Star Wars actually, where it's kind
39:54
of like, oh, we can have roubuts you know, you'd watch There
40:00
was a TV show called The Curiosity Show. Have you ever heard of that?
40:02
I never heard of it. It was kind of like sayings for kids.
40:07
Have it on Channel nine in the afternoons. It's kind of like,
40:08
yeah, over and get to this, how we can get the wacky races
40:12
or you know, get smart. But it'd be like, here's what's going
40:15
to happen in the future, and you could be part of it and occasionally
40:17
have like some very makeshift robot on or whatever. I remember robot was when
40:22
I was a kid. And also computers were starting to sort of gather a
40:25
little bit of speed a computer and Willy Wonka, Oh yeah, that's right,
40:30
the giant fucking thing. So yeah, I mean, I won't necessarily,
40:37
I don't necessarily think it was kind of like we're all going to be
40:39
working with or for robots in the future, but there was certainly a little
40:45
bit of like the future is underway and it's going to be fun as were
40:49
in the future, as opposed to now, which is going I said you
40:52
a link last night. Did you watch that Frank Sinatra singing. I haven't
40:55
had a chance to yet because I'm like, I know you don't watch the
40:59
links that I send to you, but I still send them anyway. It's
41:00
kind of like I know someone sending out a Christmas card and I'm never going
41:02
to open it. It's like a letter from prison. It's the guy's seen
41:07
it. It never responds or gives like a thumbs up, and I'm like,
41:08
he's not gonna look at that. Think I looked at the time you're
41:12
saying it was something like twelve thirty and I was editing. Yeah, I
41:15
was probably in bed. Saw it was one where around. But your Twitter,
41:19
like five minutes prior, hashtag about to watch fucking Big Trouble Little China.
41:23
This is completely un But sometimes it's like I'm about to go to better
41:29
like two am, and guys like hashtag you about to watch this, and
41:30
I'm like, why are you up? Why are you watching this now?
41:36
No kids? But I sent you a link to AI Where is My Mind?
41:43
By the Pixies. I was blown away by how real it sounds.
41:45
And I'm like, I see, I'm all for AI. You know,
41:49
I'm all about it. You know, I know you're scared of it.
41:51
But like getting to hear this guy cover this person, I'm like, it's
41:54
fucking cool man that that. Look. There's a Freddie Mercury quote right where
41:59
he says, I don't care what you do with my music, just don't
42:00
make it boring. It's a very good point by Freddy. So like,
42:04
I don't feel bad watching Freddie Mercury AI covers because it's like you wouldn't care.
42:08
That's true because he's dead. Yeah, I just feel like at this
42:14
stage, I'm sort of like I'm running very fast to keep ahead of AI.
42:19
If I can just make it till you know, I'm sixty five or
42:23
something, I'm going to play it now. You can listen to it through
42:25
the headphones, the face nay thing. Just quickly, all right, okay,
42:29
with your feet on your head on the mine, try this straight and
42:39
spin it. Yeah, your head with coloms. But there's nothing in it
42:47
in your last yourself. Where is mine? Mine? Where is mine mine?
42:55
Where is mine? Well? Yeah, in the water see it's I'm
43:25
watching his face as I showed him, and he's like, I don't want
43:29
to say that it's good because it scares me a little bit. But that
43:32
sounds fucking bang on, like Frank Sinatra, right, and and the arrangement
43:37
arrangements everything. Yeah, that's that's pretty good. I think it's probably the
43:39
best AI cover thing I've ever seen a line. And here's the thing,
43:43
here's the thing. We're at this stage now, you know, it just
43:45
started. Imagine what's going to be like in like two years when Elliott's my
43:49
age. Can you imagine what it's gonna be like? Well, do you
43:51
think there'll be such a I don't care for real, dad, I want
43:54
AI Dad. Do you think people will actually like the the art of acting,
43:59
will have an existing more or do you think they'll just scan someone's face
44:00
and make movies with it. Yeah? I mean, I think the Actors'
44:06
Union and the Writers' Union really fought tooth and claw this time around. It's
44:08
going to mean nothing in twenty years, and don't reckon. I don't think
44:10
it is. But then I honestly think that they're thinking about themselves and like
44:15
their life span and how they're going to make their money, but that it's
44:17
like that's a future generation problem. Yeah, it is. It is.
44:22
Everything's becoming so much more interactive now that Yeah, it's it's going to reach.
44:27
It's going like Netflix and it's like Netflix games and shit like alix o
44:30
yea, let's like choose your own adventure and it's kind of ship and they're
44:31
like, what is happening? Yeah, I mean I think games are to
44:36
say this generation Sayen and gen Z and whatever generation comes there, which I
44:40
think it's been called Generation Alpha. Games are to them what movies were to
44:45
us. You know, it's like, wow, we get to watch these
44:47
cool looking people do stories and it's like, well, they get to actually
44:51
be in the story and dictated according to how I please. And by the
44:53
way, I get to have a love scene with the Sidney Sweeney like okay,
44:58
looks like you win, kidn I'm just stroking it to Michelle Favor,
45:04
I think you won. Striking. Now, there was a kid in this
45:08
scene here, by the way, when all the table is drawing or whatever,
45:10
who looked like Art GARFUNKL. Did you see him? He was at
45:13
the end of the table. Yeah, we've seen that kid before. Were
45:16
like in early episodes with the curly hair. I thought it was not a
45:20
kid in early episodes, because this is meant to be kids. Oh that's
45:22
true. Yeah, you're thinking of Lewis, I think, But is this
45:27
I thought it might have been the guy who was at the like the the
45:30
end of the prom or whatever. He was like the class clown. Who
45:32
was that Guy's right? I love that guy. But Lenny here is very
45:39
dull. He's got a birthday dinosaur cake and everyone that's a fine cake.
45:43
Lennie, I'll say yes. And he said he didn't watch any more film
45:45
on the Kid after that. Barney Carr wishes for well peace, Barney wishes
45:51
for World war and that'd be much cooler. And then Homer wishes he's gonna
45:54
be richer than anybody when he's older. He's gon to own a FOOTBA team
45:57
and a baseball team and make them, no, a football team and a
45:59
basketball team and make them play play baseball. Yeah not, I like Michael
46:01
Jordan. No. Now, Clancy Wigham's time to wait. Tune into the
46:06
movie guys. We can hear a space jam. Yes, Space Jam review.
46:08
It was a lot of fun, so Clancy Wigan by the way,
46:10
if you're a top tier supporter of ours on pageon, you get to watch
46:14
us through the show live. That's true. Watch a guy pick his nose,
46:17
bang bang bang freeze Robert Freeze, bang bang bang. It's too bad.
46:24
Please just put one in my brain. Okay, bang, thank you.
46:31
And I didn't get this whole. It was just so awkward when he
46:34
was like put one in my brain, when like he's playing and I was
46:37
like, he's a kid. It was really weird hearing your kids say this.
46:42
It's just it was odd. Maybe feel uncomfortable, Okay. I just
46:45
didn't think it was all that funny. It wasn't funny at all. It
46:47
was just weird. He then becomes hall monitor and then he sees attention birders
46:52
both to jail bird, and then he gets accepted into police academy at the
46:55
age of twenty four. What did I tell you about points towards you?
47:00
And then he gives good back rub to the sergeant whoever that was. It
47:04
also shoots the cameraman and shoots the cameraman by accidents, and then at thirty
47:07
four at thirty two, sorry, he has massages way too Chief of Police
47:09
by giving Quimby back moms massaged his way, yes, and lou then makes
47:15
fun of his pants and yeah, not all that funny again, No,
47:17
I mean there's a lot of like you saw how that was going to end
47:21
as well as well, I can't make funny. There's a lot of obvious
47:23
stuff in this. It just felt like an episode that again we say there's
47:28
a lot the idea was great and there were some good moments, but it's
47:31
just like it felt like again it's four fifty five when I go home in
47:35
five, Yeah, just just go of anything best idea wins. Yeah,
47:38
too busy with the movie now, Homers turned for age eight and he says
47:44
he's gonna have a mansion to pinball table with infinity quarters and eight pairs of
47:47
P and J pajamas. Did you say P and J PB and J PP
47:52
and J Yeah. Yeah. Brief side bub, I was at Geelong Institution
47:58
the Barman Club not long ago seeing a band from the end he's called the
48:01
Models. You've mentioned this three times now on the podcast that you went and
48:05
saw this band. Okay, then was a big event. We're a friend
48:07
of the part of the Models. But they've got a pool table and I
48:10
was like, oh, I can't remember last time I played pool at a
48:14
pub, but in this is how long it's been. It used to be
48:17
you'd put your coin down when you were the next one to play, about
48:21
to say it's got the card swiping thing. Ah. So I'm like,
48:25
so how do I go next? And I could see some guy across the
48:29
across the table. No, and me and another guy were going to play
48:34
next, and we were like, we said to the people were playing,
48:36
Oh, I guess we're next. I couldn't see a chalkboard to put your
48:39
name over it in the la but I saw some guy who was eyeing the
48:42
table, and I thought, we didn't have to have that discussion. I
48:45
don't I don't know if I want to have a discussion with you about who's
48:49
next. But anyway, we ended up playing. By the way, it
48:52
cost a lot to play a game of pool, because I'm like, three
48:54
bucks wasn't two bucks anymore. I will never forget. Remember the Nash right
48:58
before it became the the National Hotel, when it was the Good Nash was
49:02
a sticky carpet with the best dim sims in Geelong. Correct, Yeah,
49:06
they had a pool table in their Remember it was like we want to play
49:08
pool. On Saturday night at the National played pool. The famous nash pool
49:12
table was broken, and she still wanted to play pool in there. Right.
49:15
I remember there was this guy there and he looked like he was he
49:16
was a classic pool shark shit teeth, you know. He was just like
49:19
a hustler, right, and there was four two dollar coins there by the
49:22
way. I'm glad you said pool shark because so many people get this wrong.
49:25
It is pool shark and card sharp. Yeah, some people say card
49:29
shark. Why would you do that? Yeah, when you're just playing wrong?
49:34
Why would I say something so wrong and yet so wrong? But this
49:36
pool shark he was he was playing against this other guy and there's four two
49:40
dollar coins on there, right, and his friend he was playing with a
49:44
little bit shady as well. And then I'm thinking, okay, one fourth
49:46
in the line, So I put a two dollar coin in. I wait
49:49
my turn. I come back and it's down to two digitalar coins. But
49:52
this guy and these two guys are still playing, and I was like,
49:54
what's going on? Like they just put like five two dollar coins down and
49:57
it's like taking over the table for like an hour. I'm like, you
49:59
can I actually do that that's against the fucking rules. You can't put your
50:02
own stall coins down and say I'm next, next, next, next,
50:05
next. I was like, I'm not gonna challenge because he looks fucking crazy,
50:08
but I'll never forget that god guy who played pool at the mast.
50:12
But apparently he just he's one of those guys where it's just like he looked
50:14
crazy enough where he just did it and he knew no one's gonna question it.
50:16
Yeah, always go with your gut on that, on that, on
50:22
those times. Yeah, by the way, I started really well at this
50:24
pool game and Lou was very impressed, and then Gary, who was playing
50:29
with just kick my ass. I'm pretty good at pool, Like, it's
50:31
one of my talents where I'm just like because I grew always grew up with
50:35
a pool table at home, so it's one of those things where I'm like,
50:37
no one expects you to be good at pool, you know, we're
50:39
always like everyone's kind of like okay at Paul, But when you're pretty good
50:43
at Paul, it's kind of like, damn. It's something which I can
50:49
be good and then sometimes I can be average. It's like with bowling.
50:52
Yeah, I'm still I'm lucky to crack one hundred in bowling. I'm just
50:55
no good at it. Well we had fun, though, didn't we.
50:59
Yeah we are. You came, that's right, got our old work,
51:01
Yeah, I've got drunk ass. Yeah, speaking of our old work.
51:05
So our old employer, the actual man himself, yes, came to my
51:08
thirtieth birthday party and challenged me to a camp pool and I pantsed him.
51:15
That had I beat him a super as well. After you been metaphorical answer
51:20
for a few years. All right, we now will turn you to Springfield
51:24
up before we get in trouble. Yes, but you know, the whole
51:28
squeaky toy thing, it's just it's just annoying. That's rare. About twenty
51:32
four Hun is now selling manure. I actually love this should be one of
51:36
my favorite moments. Hey, the manure dealership is just one of the things
51:39
I got going. I also have a sweet gig as an infomercial question asker.
51:45
I know it's super clean cleans, but does it scrub? I know,
51:52
super clean cleans, but does it scrub? I wouldn't mind being one
51:59
of those sweet but that don't exist any more informercials, do they? I
52:02
don't think so. No, I was cricket clean cleans, but does it
52:05
Scrub's got the Kissinger glasses and Kissinger apparently apparently, then you's got a garage
52:14
band where it's just him and open castic caricatures. Then if I had a
52:20
peanut of hope in the Crackerjack box of dispaand I'm like, March seems like
52:23
she's someone who's with it. And I know she loves Homer, but if
52:27
she apparently knew Hi from when he was a kid, she probably should have
52:30
realized this ain't the horse to bat on. No, that's true. It
52:34
is an ongoing mystery of the Simpsons. They try and explain it here,
52:37
and we say, at least he try to explain it. But she's like,
52:39
you know, I just love him. And I'm like, that's fine,
52:43
but but why we know that love can sometimes be irrational. Yeah,
52:50
but it's got to have some foundation in reality. Are you too considering children?
52:57
Kids? No way, You'll never see a cup rug rats tying me
53:00
down. You better not put this shot after the one where I said I
53:04
won't to have kids. That would be a devastating edit. Homer, your
53:07
life is nothing to be ashamed of. You've got a loving family and a
53:12
steady job at a nuclear power plant. You're not English Breakfast, but you're
53:15
not Lapsang Soushong either. Oh yeah, chake with me. In eight years,
53:22
doctor who, I'll be kicking your ass with a solid gold boot.
53:25
Hmm. What's changed for me since the last time I saw you? Only
53:32
everything? I can't believe it. Homer Simpson a bloody millionaire? Why do
53:38
your sound so shocked? This is her fifth take? I like that that
53:43
pisce take of just filmmaking it, or like you know, reality Tavo where
53:45
it's like, but why are you fake pretending like you're shock? You knew
53:50
this was happening. Yeah, we've gone through this three times. I feel
53:52
that's what it would be like, going to like a sitcom and watching a
53:55
scene and then so on Fox up the line and you go to like laugh
53:58
again at the same jokes two a three times. Absolutely. Yeah. I
54:00
wonder that they probably just get the audio off the audience from the first take.
54:04
You'd have to assume, right. I think there's got to be a
54:06
bit of mixing going on, absolutely, because I don't know how many times
54:08
I can pretend to laugh at the same joke no. I think often it's
54:14
done more for the benefit of the cast than anything else, just to get
54:15
you know, them vibing off the energy of a live audience, rather than
54:21
just let's record people laughing, you know. I mean, I'm sure there's
54:22
a lot of genuine stuff that's used, but all right, let's use a
54:25
bit from take one and a bit from take three and oh you can hear
54:30
that? What does you think it was? Might have been Bill Hicks,
54:35
who he recorded like a one of his standard shows. And there's a woman
54:39
in the audiges with the most distinctive laugh, and it's like, well,
54:44
we've got to keep that clearly. Now. We come out from commercial and
54:50
Bartley's on their jet skis and bart uses the dolphins blowholes a cup hold her
54:54
and it's like, oh, that's a bit gross. Marge is proud.
54:58
She's so proud that her chest might burst and out the word chest. And
55:00
I was like, that's none of this was funny to me. Nah,
55:05
I mean I was more intrigued, but it's like, Okay, how how
55:07
has this happened? Yeah, and then we got to the condoment pen,
55:10
which, honestly, it sounds like a pretty good idea good idea, and
55:14
apparently that is a reference to Monty Python. Okay, so see declent Desmond
55:17
played by Eric Idol as him if he can use the condiment pen on his
55:21
fish and chips, to which Homer replies, you can use it to put
55:23
horse radish on your dead mother for all I care. This is the reference.
55:25
Sorry, that that joke there. This is a reference to a Monty
55:29
Python sketch in which John Cleese takes his mother to undertakers, who suggests various
55:34
means of disposing of the body, finally suggesting cannibalism. Horse radish is suggested
55:37
as a seasoning. Oh okay, it's Monty Python for it. Yeah,
55:39
but I reckon that would have to that's too, it's too much of a
55:44
coincidence for that to not be a reference, right, Oh no, absolutely,
55:45
that's a yeah, that's one of the nerds saying I remember that skitz
55:50
it jun Cliff, he wrote it in description the there. You know we
55:55
did something like that with Buddy. I know you did when you used to
56:00
interview people before you like recorded, would you used to start with saying I
56:02
know you hears every time it like I'm just I'm a huge fan or thank
56:06
you so much for doing this, And at what point did you realize,
56:07
don't do that anymore. I didn't do it all. Oh, I never
56:14
stopped doing it. I mean I didn't do it all the time. If
56:16
someone had done, if I was interviewing someone for a piece of word that
56:20
I really admired, I would say before it was like, I thought you
56:22
were just great. I thought you were really really good. I mean,
56:24
you're trying to do it too often during the actual interview itself, but you
56:30
didn't let him know. It's like, really respect what you did there,
56:31
or you try to without being too wanky about it, and obviously being very
56:37
wanky about it. I mean, you're actually winking them. If it was
56:46
someone that you really respected and whose work you knew, you'd try to not
56:52
go for the because you tried to do it, Tarantina, Remember, I
56:53
did absolutely, and he was like, yeah, I have nightmares over it.
56:58
We're not best. What was his quote that he said? What did
57:00
he say to you? He just said something, Oh, that was a
57:02
good one, because you tried to make an obscure reference, didn't you.
57:05
Yeah. It's a movie that he that I really like growing up, called
57:07
Fandango It's an early Kevin Costna movie. And I remember reading an early interview
57:10
with Tarantino where he said he was really into it as well. I'm like,
57:14
I think we might be the only two people in the word who liked
57:15
this movie. So yeah, sort of gave it a shout and he was
57:20
like, Yeah, that's a good one. That's it, And that was
57:23
it. He was gonna say, we just become best friends building bunk beds.
57:30
It's that time for Frank. He's going to be a rocket scientist to
57:31
Mars. He has his cloaking device from the Bullies. Another was just went
57:36
on for ages and there was no sort of payoff. Yeah, did he
57:39
say he invented the eight month after pill? Yes, I thought it was
57:43
okay, discovered and cured Frank Frick's disease. But he's never talked to a
57:47
girl. So he's built a time machine called the Corona Track, which apparently
57:51
looks like the actual time looks like the time machine from the Time Machine,
57:54
Yeah, the sixties adaptation of the Time Machine. Yeap. He goes back
57:58
in time and then it gets hit by car before we can warn the little
58:02
young version of himself. Then young Kyle takes it which the payoff is pointless,
58:07
is nothing, there's nothing to it. Yeah, I was like,
58:09
oh, okay, this is going to be at least lead to something,
58:12
and no, it's just like, oh that happened earlier in the episode to
58:15
humorous effect. Not really, it's Alanor at age eight, she's going to
58:21
be a lawyer and a doctor. By twenty four, she'd graduated from Harvard
58:23
Medical and Yale Law. But by thirty two, shoes burnt out, wasn't
58:27
she She wasn't there? One glass of wine with Buster had probably turned into
58:30
far too many. She's throwing her Yale degree out us. I believe,
58:35
yes, and a cat, But I just I just really liked love that
58:37
that I written saw. Yeah that was good. And yeah, just a
58:40
really quick gag. Yep, Marge. Now Marge's turn. Apparently she wanted
58:45
to be a photographer I have ever seen. I think Marge wants to be
58:47
a lot of things that never came to fruition, probably due to Homer.
58:51
I'm watch a minute here, but I'm surprised at in tapping to the painting,
58:54
the artist side of things, she wasn't be an artist. Yeah,
58:57
yeah, I mean, because I've already seen that I don't know, I
59:00
guess, but they keep bringing up these artistic or creative ambitions and endeavors that
59:04
never really sort of go anywhere, and they sort of makes it feel bad
59:07
for her, so it doesn't it. Yeah, the only difference in the
59:09
last eight years has been I met home and I'm like, eh, Jess
59:13
rocks it with this skull tattoo. I must have been. I did find
59:15
it funny though all the paper headline, newspaper headlines, my favorite boy brings
59:22
them up for everything, typing class tragedy. She later flung to Next County,
59:28
but she's now working at the department store and is where we get the
59:30
birth of Disco Stu. Not the Sea Captain, but they were playing it
59:34
upore because even sound like the Sea Captain, didn't he really, Yes,
59:37
I need one. What I'd say is fatal for my captain's license. Hmm,
59:42
coming right up. Mind, if they turn on a little music,
59:47
it's done sable, not a good stew looks disco music and the world welcomed
59:55
disco Stew. Yeah, this is the episode where I was like, ah,
1:00:00
this is not fun. I need to work full time to support Homer's
1:00:05
venture rock music and erotic etching, and I was like, well, this
1:00:07
isn't funny, it's just depressing. It's hitting too close. I hope for
1:00:12
Dando because Nicolas like, I've got to work extra hard bank. Well there's
1:00:15
bud game. That's not true. But now Declan, He's asked, why
1:00:22
do you have old man medicine in your in your medical cabinet? And this
1:00:24
weinster Bans arrives and god it his summer home. And I'm like, is
1:00:28
this not just his mansions and wears his place? I'm not. That's the
1:00:31
thing was He's always at home in Springfield during winter, so why is this
1:00:35
now he's home? Why is that a summer home in Springfield? Yeah?
1:00:37
It was weird. Yeah, I mean, and that could be well,
1:00:42
I can't think, I'm off the top of my head, but I imagine
1:00:44
that could be a funny gag if you sort of took it and strung it
1:00:46
out. I was like, why do you have a summer home? But
1:00:49
it was four fifty five guys, see, oh that's true. I got
1:00:52
to pick at the kids. Yeah, Homer then come up with commercial offers.
1:00:58
But he's like, you can be him, just don't leave marks.
1:01:00
And I was like, that's not a funny line either. No, was
1:01:05
there. I guess there was a point where they thought Homer being a shit
1:01:08
father was funny. He's always been like, I don't know what's the what's
1:01:13
the term, not a shit father. He's always been, always been frustraight,
1:01:15
frustrated and sort of like Choking's one. Choking was like a visual gad
1:01:19
that just kept in the show for whatever reason, right, And yeah,
1:01:21
but the idea of like you can beat him, and I'm like, no,
1:01:23
no, And then in the next scene you expect us to now go,
1:01:28
oh, isn't he great? Home is a great person. He's got
1:01:30
everything he wants in life. And have all the people saying, you know,
1:01:31
Homah does this for me and he tucks me in at night and it's
1:01:34
great having daddy around. It's like, yeah, but you've two minutes earlier
1:01:37
you had Homer say you can beat him, just don't leave Marx, I
1:01:42
can I'm cutting the show too much, like and when I'm sort of trying
1:01:46
to come up with situations where that kind of works, where Home is so
1:01:51
desperate that he'll say anything to sort of get off the hook. Yeah,
1:01:53
but I don't know that's putting a lot of faith in in the show.
1:01:59
And I don't know if it's Burns at this episode. If it's funny,
1:02:02
I'll go with it. This is it wasn't funny, That's what I was
1:02:05
like. Whatever, Yeah, I mean it wasn't like it wasn't offender was
1:02:07
like it was. It was never funny, So what was the point?
1:02:09
You know? Yeah, I mean just and it whispering loud in the quiet,
1:02:15
po loud or that kind of Yeah, that kind of ship. I'm
1:02:17
not I'm not into that. But you know, Homer's sort of stead of
1:02:21
getting so just with a ookie phone you can beat him, but just don't
1:02:24
show them, you know what I mean? Colorbool doing the collar Smithers is
1:02:31
in the Grandfather Clock. But again a gag that's just dragged out a bit
1:02:36
too much. Forever. Yeah, Burns has released the hounds, but they're
1:02:39
still in his winter house. So this is what they had the summer house
1:02:42
gags. They can say winterhouse. I guess his winter house because he's always
1:02:47
there. A Christmas time in Springfild where we have a Christmas Simpsons episode,
1:02:51
he's at his house. That's the thing. If it's on like this isn't
1:02:52
can though. I guess if it's on the other side of a hill or
1:02:55
something where it's kind of like, okay, it gets you know, it's
1:03:00
east facing himself, gets a sunrise or something like that. I don't know.
1:03:04
But then it just cuts to everyone getting along talking about getting the vending
1:03:07
machine contracts from the Kremlin, Like what again? Yeah, it's a gag
1:03:10
in name only. It's like, oh, you know, while we're waiting
1:03:14
for the hand, while we're waiting to release the hounds. Oh, everyone's
1:03:16
forgotten why they were actually angry to each other. Now they're just getting along
1:03:20
famously. Oh the hounds are here trying to release the hands. Yeah,
1:03:23
relases them and chases the family away, and that's it. It's a geno.
1:03:25
It's a gag in name only. Yeah. But then he says,
1:03:29
I've got two questions for Homer. Why lie and lies? Lies? Why?
1:03:31
And he's just trying to get the answer from home. Why did you
1:03:35
lie to me? It's like it's pretty obvious he's same as anyone with love
1:03:37
because they're embarrassed and they want to pretend that they're rich. This isn't it.
1:03:42
Don't know. I thought the last five minutes was a bit bit of
1:03:45
nothing, nothing really, but we got the montage of him chasing after Homer,
1:03:50
so he's got He runs into the tree house, he runs into the
1:03:53
house on fire, and then he runs. He gets out of the car
1:03:55
when he's driving and Grandpas still in the car. Hey, I'm ready from
1:04:00
my segment. Lenny, who is exciting to hear from you? Did you
1:04:06
ever try that new shamboo? No? Never, did I want to watch
1:04:13
me pay my cable bill. I got checked with butterflies on him. I
1:04:18
am interesting, No you're not. Not only are you pointing out how lame
1:04:24
Lenny is, but then you have Lenny at the end of it go,
1:04:27
I am interesting, No you're not. I'm like, we get the joke.
1:04:32
Neither Dando nor I are fans of that particular thing, and we're guessing
1:04:35
that a lot of you listening I'm probably fans of that either. So just
1:04:39
in case you didn't realize, these are the jokes folk. Yes, Homer
1:04:43
says he did it because nothing's changing his life in the last eight years.
1:04:45
That's why he did it. Marj then kicks him out because he went to
1:04:48
a lot of trouble to try and impress you, and I love him so
1:04:50
I'm standing by and I'm like, okay, yeah, that's great. I'm
1:04:54
probably more team Declan. Declan's now at Moe's. What's the matter at Declan?
1:05:00
Cop give you a ticket for talking like a fruit. It's the oddest
1:05:02
thing. I actually feel affection for these knuckle dragging sub monkeys. I feel
1:05:08
sorry for Homer Simpson. What he been sipping cuckoo juice almost got it made.
1:05:12
He's married to one hell of a woman. All I got is this
1:05:15
porn channel. I'm too cheap to de scramble. That's an ad for shoe
1:05:19
inserts. What I've been writing creepy letters to that? But what you said
1:05:24
about Homer, it's It's given me a brilliant idea, an action movie where
1:05:28
I played a pope who kills a president. No, that's a terrible idea.
1:05:30
Yeah, I know it is stupid. I think it could work,
1:05:32
though I even got a title Pontiff No Return. I came up with it,
1:05:36
but I don't really get it. This is where Declin gets the idea,
1:05:42
and he invites Homer to his editing bay, and you see a little
1:05:45
Clippi from Ain't no Mountain. A blind man climbs Everest which was like,
1:05:48
what the fuck was this? So apparently this was a piss take of something.
1:05:54
The movie A Blind Man Climbs Man Everest is a reference to Eric wine
1:05:58
Man Wine Mayo, a real blind person who climbed up Mount Everest on May
1:06:01
twenty fifth, two thousand and one. He also completed the Seventh Summits in
1:06:04
September two thousand and two, joining one hundred and fifty Mountain. He's at
1:06:08
the time who had accomplished that feat, but as the only climber who was
1:06:10
blind, I'm like, okay, so it's a reference to something, but
1:06:13
why was it in this episode? I have no idea shout out to Eric,
1:06:16
Wow, great work, good work, man, but yeah, more
1:06:19
power to you. Then he shows Homer everyone talking him up, but margin
1:06:23
arrived. Don't kill the foreign man, so I wasn't going to All the
1:06:25
knives fallout and he's realized he's been living his best life. You know,
1:06:29
you're my real dream come true and I lived my life with you every day
1:06:31
and I'm just like, yes, why did it become this? Sixty four
1:06:36
you're at home. I just I don't know, just content with life.
1:06:40
Gets to an old age and realize, you know, what I am happy,
1:06:43
didn't need this forced bullshit. Yeah, I have him at fifty eight
1:06:45
and sorry, so fifty seven, fifty fifty six. Yeah, I have
1:06:53
him in variation Shenanigans at those ages then but very briefly, and then have
1:06:59
him at sixty four. It all kind of worked out in the in the
1:07:02
end, in the in the balance, you could even get dark and go
1:07:04
to like deathbed Homer and having to sort of like realizing how happy his life
1:07:09
has been, how lucky he is, and I'm like that would mean something.
1:07:12
I think so yeah, because this whole like you said, this whole
1:07:15
thing just felt so force of everyone going home is a great guy, he's
1:07:16
got you know, and it's just like huh what. But Homer then tries
1:07:23
the mixing board if he wants to make a demo tape for setting You're my
1:07:26
lady. I'm guessing that this this resonated with Dando, like this is probably
1:07:30
like guy touching a mixing boy, like, don't touch it. Oh my
1:07:34
god. It's just like sometimes we'll be doing over zoom or whatever and guy,
1:07:39
what am I PUSH's like don't oh jesus, Guy's gone, Mike's not
1:07:41
connecting. I'm gonna push the green, but it makes airhorn sounds where where
1:07:51
you love that sound? Taking you're my lady, dick me with your pitchforking
1:08:00
taking, you're my lady. Take me with your bitch farking Oh that no,
1:08:10
yeah, your girl smothering me with your beetled boots because I'm a rock
1:08:16
and roll hero with the mode. It tackle made a bye. You called
1:08:23
a Plaine Moby, your plain moby during the song that we have young Carl
1:08:30
appearing and then disappearing. That was the payoff. That was it. Yeah,
1:08:33
that's it. That's all a really shitty ending to this episode. I
1:08:39
think it's just because the entire like last five minutes, I was like,
1:08:42
this is how I would have done it. I wasn't like paid attention towards
1:08:44
happening. But yeah, when you do pay attention, you don't get much
1:08:46
either. No, because it ends with a whimper and not a bang.
1:08:49
Yeah that is right, which I think is what as you always say,
1:08:51
if you leave with the bang, even the episode, if it's shit,
1:08:55
you feel different about it. Stick the landing. Yeah, you usually walk
1:08:58
out pretty happy with this. This was just kind of like a yeah,
1:09:01
wet fart. What do we learn, Bomber, Did you learn anything from
1:09:05
this episode with the Davis don't leave your muffins out in the rain? Apparently?
1:09:10
Yeah? Have you ever done that? I was trying to visualize.
1:09:12
I'm like, would that happened? I guess so well. I mean I
1:09:15
think any pastry left out in the rain is probably not gonna it's gonna come
1:09:18
off worse for wear. Are you a muffin man? I do know the
1:09:21
muffin. I always get disappointed when I have a muffin on. I look
1:09:26
at it, I'm like, that's a big muffin, and it's like,
1:09:28
oh, it's just the top, that's big, you know what, they're
1:09:30
like massive? You eat the top and you're like, oh, it's just
1:09:32
a regular's age murfin. That's true. Yeah, I'm trying to think of
1:09:36
like the pastry. I mean, I'm probably more a donut guy than a
1:09:40
than a muffin guy. I do. I found these croissants at a place
1:09:45
in Geelong. I have to drive across town to get one, but of
1:09:47
a Saturday, more than forty five minutes away from the Royal Marble Showground,
1:09:55
I'll never live that down. And justifiably, it was like there was a
1:09:59
place I used to go that was close by, and it's like, oh,
1:10:01
it's not just an almond croissant, it's got pistachio in it. I
1:10:04
love it. FA's And then they discontinued that. I'm like, oh,
1:10:08
goddamn, I think you may have mentioned because it was it on Madre not
1:10:13
far from here. Yeah. Yeah, but they don't do them anymore.
1:10:15
Ask why there's a lack of lack of popular demand. I'm like, much
1:10:19
like me on the podcast. So yeah, they just stopped making them.
1:10:25
But then went to this other place in Belmont High Street. Lou and I
1:10:28
went there for a coffee one morning and it's like, is that that there
1:10:32
has that got pistachie on it? Yes, and raspberry. I'm like,
1:10:39
I'll take six. So every once in a while. How much is popular
1:10:43
demand? Oh? Cool? Yeah? Putting on various? Do you have
1:10:50
the guys at you tell how old I am? I actually hung up the
1:10:59
phone as I got a fucking landline. I mean he still does have a
1:11:04
landline, right, I don't have a landline and I haven't had one living
1:11:09
in this house. You have to have one, though, an actual phone
1:11:12
number to connect to the internet. So You've still got a home phone number,
1:11:15
but just to have a phone that's correct. I was like, is
1:11:16
anyone actually calling landlines anymore? I mean a lot of peopleho still have landline,
1:11:21
Margaret Mary, Yeah, my Nan needs to sell up the landline.
1:11:24
That's the last time I actually went down and passed away. It sounds more
1:11:27
but I know. But like, I just took a photo of NaN's focus.
1:11:30
She has everyone's on There was a speed dial on the phone and she'd
1:11:31
written down everyone's name on the spell. I'm like, I'm gonna take a
1:11:34
photo of this because I'm just like, this is just a nice memory of
1:11:38
Nan. It really is. Yeah, And honestly, in the eighties and
1:11:42
maybe even in the nine as you thought that speed doll thing was just the
1:11:44
coolest thing that it was. Though I don't have to pench in all seven
1:11:48
numbers. I just have the prins word. Yeah, it's pretty neat.
1:11:53
What did you learn from this episode? I didn't learn anything, but as
1:11:59
a better way to end this, what I did learn is that we got
1:12:01
a question that, when unanswered, that I really want to know the answer
1:12:03
to does super clean? Does it just claim? Does it scrub? We
1:12:08
never found out we never found out. No, does it actually scrub?
1:12:11
That is the question I want answered. Get your buddy Matts want on.
1:12:13
Yeah, Matt, I told you not to Cale see that this are a
1:12:18
cool bill ugly and he's gonna want to talk about burgers. From a forward,
1:12:21
your names will be all right. It is the Guy Davis New Name
1:12:27
Championship. The current leaderboard stands at this mister Davis. In first position,
1:12:30
we have Philip Jay Hawkins on thirteen points. In second position we have Kyle
1:12:34
muldoon and Luke McKay on eleven points. And in third position we have Heath
1:12:38
Applebee and Justin Williams on six. Take it away? What a race?
1:12:41
Okay? One point goes to Homer Simpson. This isn't your life? Oh
1:12:45
that is Luke McKay, which means that he is now outright second on twelve
1:12:50
points. I want Luke. Currently, let's see what happens when we give
1:12:55
two points to Ope you menory now ooh, so this is our main man
1:13:00
from the mailbag, Andrew JP, Andrew Jpe. We're crossing the streams here.
1:13:05
He's crossing over the into the new name segment. Now, holy shit,
1:13:09
he's coming. He's coming for you. Wow, he's coming for it
1:13:14
all. Yes, So that's his first points on the new name Lidleboard.
1:13:17
So Andrew JP had two points, what so wild couting out, Well done
1:13:21
mate, but three points goes to life as we don't it man. I
1:13:28
feel like this guy's just he's cracked the matrix. He just knows how to
1:13:30
do it. It's Philip J. Hawgans the Hawk, he just knows what
1:13:33
to do. He's like, how can I we do into the title?
1:13:39
I'd like to think that I've shaken it up a bit and we're not giving
1:13:42
you know, dough titles their props all the time, but this time around
1:13:46
it earned it and well it was our man, Philip J. He's now
1:13:50
outright first on sixteen points and Luke McKay second on twelve. So's four points
1:13:55
clear. Now there's still like nine episodes left, that is correct, We've
1:13:58
got a little way to go, YEA plenty plenty of how many three twenty
1:14:00
seven points worth of three pointers out there? So Luke mcain get to working.
1:14:03
I mean, I mean Carl and everyone else. Yeah, carlm Oldun's
1:14:06
on eleven points in third position. I mean that would be in justin Williams
1:14:10
both on six and fourth. That's only ten points behind. He can easily
1:14:12
catch up to him. We've got a lot of time up as sleeve.
1:14:15
We've got a lot of new names to, you know, add to the
1:14:17
leaderboard. Yes, so put your thinking caps on and folks, all he
1:14:21
has to do is get three points for the next like ten weeks or nine
1:14:24
weeks, and you're going to win. That's not impossible happen. It's not
1:14:32
impossible. It's just really improbable. Bail is here, all right, mail
1:14:41
bag for Springfield up. All right, So first question comes from Andrew JP.
1:14:46
What Andrew JP says? Didn't we just hear from that guy? What's
1:14:49
your favorite Monty Python sketch? His is for Yorkshireman? Never seen him?
1:14:54
Yeah, I've seen which is the one that has John Clears getting chopped up
1:14:58
as the like the guy and armor. Oh the holy Grail, Holy Grass.
1:15:03
I've seen that one a long time ago and I was like, yeah,
1:15:05
because there's the shows. Yeah, there's the episodes of the TV giant
1:15:09
foot that comes down and squashed and sit like that. Yeah. I never
1:15:13
got it when I was younger, and I just haven't made the effort to
1:15:15
go back and revisit it. I was like, this is what everyone's going
1:15:17
on about. Yeah, I think it appears to a certain type of humor,
1:15:23
a certain type of person out a certain type of age as well,
1:15:25
and that I was like thirteen fourteen, Yeah, and it becomes your your
1:15:28
touchstone for humor. And I mean, I've got friends who are really into
1:15:31
Yeah. I think it happens with the English English humor a lot. It's
1:15:34
very sort of distinctive. I've got friend who are really into the Goodies.
1:15:38
I'm like, I just can't get it. It's not my thing, and
1:15:41
the Goonies not. It's either a Goodies person or a Goonies person. I
1:15:45
think I respect Montypath more than I enjoyed that. Having said that, there's
1:15:48
a sketch that they did where I think you've got a bunch of people sort
1:15:53
of talking about how tough their childhoods were, and the stories are just getting
1:15:57
more and more outlandish. And I had Mars in the snow, no shoes
1:16:01
with my hands cut off and all the kind of stuff, and it see,
1:16:03
it's getting more and more adiction because that's just what your dad's are like,
1:16:05
you know very much what Barefoot across six paddocks covered in snow and you're
1:16:11
like, no, you didn't. So it's got that foundation reality, which
1:16:13
I really enjoyed. But and there was one, isn't it oneas someone's a
1:16:16
name Dick something. It could I'm either cock or Dick or something as a
1:16:23
Munti python sketch. I can't remember. It sounds very Munti path and that.
1:16:27
But the movies I enjoy a bit more. Monty Path on Holy Grail
1:16:30
is actually pretty funny. But yeah, I think it also attracts a type
1:16:33
of person who, yeah, much like the sentence or any sort of any
1:16:38
comedy that really makes an impact. A lot of the gags become part of
1:16:42
your own vocabulary and they could have become shorthand. But occasionally we'll find someone
1:16:45
who's just like, the biggest dikest is the one, oh that's from yeah,
1:16:49
from Life of Brian. Yeah, that's right. You know that a
1:16:54
lot of it's pretty not basic humor, but it's like, you know,
1:16:57
it's funny walks and funny voices and all that kind of stuff. Which it
1:17:00
was a wattle. It was a wattle when Yeah, But I like that
1:17:04
one from Money Bython, and I like the movies. I mean, The
1:17:06
Men of Your Life is a good one, and Holy Grail is pretty good
1:17:10
too. Fergus Jeff says, technically The Four Yorkshiremen was performed by John Clice,
1:17:14
Garrett Graham, Chapman and others on a TV show preceding Monty Python's existence.
1:17:17
But I will say that's one of my favorites too. Hey, there
1:17:19
we go. I'm saying you're wrong, Andrew JP, but you're fucking wrong.
1:17:24
Fergus Jeff says, you can't get a point in the new Name challenge
1:17:28
and be right in the mail bag entry. Come on, man, this
1:17:30
is one for you. Do you have a favorite documentarian? His is Louis
1:17:35
Therow Louis Yeah. And Alex Gibney. Alex Gibney is very good. Yeah,
1:17:41
he's a recent guy. You'll see his name and a lot of doc
1:17:43
os. Yeah. I like Louis threw a lot. Can I put on
1:17:47
your hard hats. I'm got to drop a name. It's a name,
1:17:49
that's Aora. The giant feed are coming down. I think I wrote this
1:17:55
on Facebook at the time I finished the interview. We were talking about interviews
1:17:59
before. But I've finished the interview and instaly got onto Facebook and I said,
1:18:02
it's always nice when an interview subject says they've never been asked that question
1:18:06
before. It was great, that doesn't it. Oh yeah, it's even
1:18:09
better when it's Louis th U. I love when they say that's a good
1:18:14
question and you know they mean it. You can tell, you really can't
1:18:16
tell, because yeah, I mean I've interviewed enough people say that's a good
1:18:19
questions like you're killing time to come up with the answer, but you can
1:18:24
tell. It's like, that's that's good, that's a good question. I'm
1:18:27
gon'n anked that before, or I haven't you folded that into the line of
1:18:30
questioning. Really well, it's good, isn't it. Yeah. I used
1:18:33
to strive on getting them. I'll be like every interagram, I want to
1:18:36
try and get them with either like a piece of knowledge that it's like how
1:18:39
the fuck do you know that? Or and time they're impressed by the other
1:18:43
time they're just like, how the fuck do you know that? Yeah?
1:18:46
I mean, well, like we were saying earlier, you know, when
1:18:49
i'd have interviewing someone that i'd respect or whatever, it was always nice.
1:18:53
It's just throwing a bit like you know, I've seen that movie that you
1:18:56
know, not many people liked on not many people someone, I actually thought
1:18:59
it was pretty good. I mean I would never lie about that, but
1:19:02
it was always good to sort of throw in, yeah, i've seen you
1:19:05
work well. When I was on k Rock, It's one of the reasons
1:19:09
I was to get really frustrated because I took it so seriously my interviews,
1:19:12
right, not because I was trying to be like a serious interview, but
1:19:15
it's like people who I be on there with then ask questions like, oh,
1:19:18
so you got a new album coming and tell us all about it.
1:19:19
I'm like, that's sort of a question. That's just you doing fucking no
1:19:23
work and just get expecting them to do all the work for you. You
1:19:25
might as well just read the pressure. Yeah. My theory was I lose
1:19:29
by the motto of having said that, I mean, you have to do
1:19:31
one or two of those questions. I think, No, you have to
1:19:34
take into a people. My motto is, never ask a question you already
1:19:39
know the answer to, because you're going to get a response that people have
1:19:42
already heard a million times before. Right. So what I would do is
1:19:45
I would listen to and read previous interviews by this person, and I would
1:19:48
look at what they've answered, work that answer into the question, and then
1:19:53
base a new question off of the answer I've already given. That's a good
1:19:55
way as long as you can get get the basic info out that. Yeah,
1:19:58
you've got to get the information there, but of magnif you can add
1:20:00
stuff on top of that, yeah, yeah, you've done you You've done
1:20:02
your job, because what you're doing then is you're informing the listener of ship
1:20:06
that they might need to know an actual answer in the past and information,
1:20:11
but also asking the interviewee a question they might never been asked before. They
1:20:14
haven't been asked before, and they're going to get a new answer. Listen
1:20:15
is gonna get a new answer they've never heard before. You've got to give
1:20:17
them point a and then point a plus one. Yeah, but you said
1:20:21
when you made this album that you really didn't like track three because of this,
1:20:26
and then basically new questions of that. Don't just say so you didn't
1:20:29
like track three and then have them say why again, like exam, I
1:20:31
just I just used to ship me. I'm like, Oh, you're fucking
1:20:33
lazy. Why are you taking so serious? I'm like, because I'm because
1:20:40
I care. Yeah, I don't want to be sitting here in twenty years
1:20:43
doing the same ship like you're going to be. Oh yeah, absolutely no.
1:20:46
That was something I always too, Yeah, extremely seriously when I was
1:20:50
when I was the interviewing people. Anyway, it's great to get that.
1:20:55
Yeah, that's a good question, kind of a kind of feedback. Yeah.
1:20:58
So I think those are both very good, very good documentarians, And
1:21:03
I'm trying to think, Oh, I would add to the add of the
1:21:05
equation. There's a guy called Frederick Wiseman who's been around forever and done a
1:21:11
whole bunch of stuff on a whole bunch of topics, really sort of mundane
1:21:15
stuff, but it always sort of digs between the service in a really subtle
1:21:19
way, And like, I'm really learning a lot about door to door salesman
1:21:23
and what would actually be like to be a door to door salesman in the
1:21:26
in the nineteen seventies in America. It sounds mundane, but yeah, it's
1:21:30
often really kind of fascinating. Andrew Kelly says, if you could give some
1:21:34
advice to a younger version of yourself outside of investing in X y Z,
1:21:38
what would it be. Oh, it's always invested. I would say I
1:21:44
say this to Aliott a lot. Now, I'm like, when you go
1:21:46
to school, mate, enjoy school because there's going to be times of school
1:21:49
where you're not liking and you think it you want to because he always says
1:21:51
I want to be old. I'm like, enjoy being a kid. Enjoy
1:21:55
having no responsibilities. That's what I would say. I'm like, just embrace
1:21:59
everything about how good your life is right now. Great. Not everyone has
1:22:01
a great childhood, but Elliott's going it pretty good. Right. It's just
1:22:04
like, you have no responsibilities. Just fucking enjoy yourself because when you get
1:22:08
older, you're going to look upter shit yourself and it's nowhere near as fun.
1:22:11
That's a very very good point. Something I would say to younger guy
1:22:16
was this may sound awfully wanky. You're cooler than you think you are.
1:22:21
Yeah, yeah, I was riddled with self doubt. I still am.
1:22:26
Yeah, I'm finding that I'm I'm finding it less and less. I think
1:22:33
I'm done. Really, I don't have a lot of time left, so
1:22:35
you know, why be an idiot. You've got a good lady by your
1:22:40
side. Now, well, that's correct, I mean everything's coming up guard
1:22:44
really why have you got to complain about it? Greatly? By your side,
1:22:45
you know, you're doing what you enjoy when it comes to like you
1:22:47
said editing, but you' also podcasting for a living complain Yeah yeah, yeah.
1:22:53
But when I was a kid, it was very kind of uptight about
1:22:56
so many things. And yeah, I'll run into people to worry about it.
1:23:01
You shouldn't have to worry about it. Absolutely absolutely, I'll run into
1:23:04
people from there and say, oh, you were so good. I'm like,
1:23:08
really, well. One thing I'll say to me, why didn't we
1:23:10
make out? Then? Yeah, that's true. One thing I'll say to
1:23:13
my kids when they're in high school, right, I'll say to them,
1:23:15
Look, as long as you get in getting by and you're still learning,
1:23:18
you're not disrupting the class. I don't give a fuck, right, Like,
1:23:20
just try, but don't stress if you don't get a great score if
1:23:24
you try it, because nothing fucking matters until like year twelve, you know,
1:23:27
like if you fail an examine your nine, it doesn't matter, you
1:23:30
know what I mean? Like, and I used to get stress out about
1:23:31
oh I've got to get an A and it's like, why did I let
1:23:34
myself get consumed by this and none of it mattered, you know. Yeah,
1:23:38
I mean you've got to understand what matters exactly. Just just work out
1:23:43
like what's going to get you buy and then just as long as you're trying,
1:23:45
right, you know what I mean, like put in the effort,
1:23:46
don't fuck about try and just enjoy yourself. Yeah. Absolutely. This one
1:23:51
here is from Kirsty Hodgkinson. She says, what would younger dan to a
1:23:55
guy think about being podcasts? I mean, younger Dante. If you told
1:23:59
eight year old and hey, you're going to earn a living by talking about
1:24:00
the Simpsons, I'm like, I have found my dream job. No,
1:24:05
oh, look it's pretty neat. I mean there's actually a video of me
1:24:10
on a home video somewhere in this house coming I think's in the garage of
1:24:14
someone saying to me, what are gonna be when you're old? I'm like,
1:24:15
I'm going to find a way to make money from the Simpsons? And
1:24:18
I fucking did. I don't know it. Yeah, I've mentioned this on
1:24:23
the on the show in the past, but I mean, you know,
1:24:25
when I was about ten years old, my mate JP would sort of make
1:24:30
radio show you said this, Yeah, you don't have him anymore. Nah,
1:24:33
Yeah, the tape of me somewhere when I was four doing it.
1:24:36
Yeah, yeah, yeah, And I mean one of the other things,
1:24:39
and I'm sure I've talked about this. In grade five, I had this
1:24:43
teacher, mister Davies. He was a preck. I did not like that
1:24:45
guy, and he did not like either. One. I said, you're
1:24:47
going to mount to nothing. No, no one ever said I. Man
1:24:49
wouldn't amount nothing except me. But one thing he did that was very valid
1:24:57
and very worthwhile. On a Friday afternoon, after lunch we wouldn't have classes
1:25:02
so much, he would do this thing called Radio five GS. We were
1:25:04
in grade five at the time, and it was basically we would have put
1:25:08
together a radio show. I don't think we'd record it or anything like that,
1:25:11
but you know, just do it. Yeah. We're like, Okay,
1:25:13
you're the announcer, lead us into the news. What else are we
1:25:16
going to have in this? You know, what's this hour long block of
1:25:20
recording. We're gonna have news? What else are we gonna have? We're
1:25:24
gonna have reviews, We're going to have interviews with farafor said, yeah,
1:25:28
what are we going to have? And yeah, me being a little ham
1:25:31
I was like, I'll be the ideas. Yeah, you know, and
1:25:34
I was the one who sort was driving. I was the host, and
1:25:38
I really really enjoyed it. And I mean, I'm always yeah, I
1:25:41
haven't done a lot of radio in my life. I've done a bit,
1:25:44
but there's a lot. There's a fairly sort of Hammy show busy streak in
1:25:47
the Davison and Rossa that's my mother's maiden name. Good dad was a born
1:25:50
show man, wasn't he. He was a big old ham Bobby Davis,
1:25:55
God bless him. And yeah, to be able to I don't want to
1:25:59
get too emotional, but to be able to do this with you on the
1:26:02
regular, to have people listening to it and seemingly enjoying, that's the thing.
1:26:08
When people say how much I enjoy it's like, oh shit, this
1:26:10
actually means something. It's it's an absolute privilege, it's an absolute honor.
1:26:14
I mean, I'm I'm I can't thank you enough for bringing me into this.
1:26:16
We were bombarded with emails. I'm probably twelve. It's a lot of
1:26:21
people saying, can go come back to the South type podcast next week?
1:26:25
Is No, I've got to get my teeth done. There going away.
1:26:31
People just love it. I mean, you've been around here now nearly as
1:26:33
long as Mitch has. Oh my god, because Mitch was me left in
1:26:36
tweent so he wasn't out for five years. You started this in tweeny,
1:26:40
so you're better year off. Okay. Yeah, so it's almost like we've
1:26:43
well, hopefully you know, one more year. We don't new Man,
1:26:47
don't bring me yokos into that situation. But no, I'm seriously, I
1:26:53
mean, this is this is something that I really really enjoy doing, something
1:26:58
that I think I would have wanted to do, yeah, all my life.
1:27:00
And no, it's just an honor to be part of it. Man.
1:27:03
It's just funny how the universe just worked extu us Like Mitche was getting
1:27:05
sick of doing the show and then you just rocked up a popcort and you're
1:27:09
like, Hi, I'm gay David. I know everything about movies and television.
1:27:13
That's like, hm, why is he talking about Trey Parker. That's
1:27:16
right, Tom, That's just think they could have sat me next to Roland,
1:27:21
Yeah, which would have been nice as well. Yes, but it's
1:27:28
all worked out. Indeed. Yeah, he shot out to Roland. I
1:27:30
hope you're listening. Yes, share to Rolling. We even give shares to
1:27:33
Rolling in like the Friends podcasts. Nicola loves him as well. We didn't
1:27:36
get rolled on the podcast. We really do do it. Let's make it
1:27:40
happen. Let's make it happen. Yeah, it could be like a very
1:27:42
special Christmas episode or something. Why not. Yeah, we imagine listeners out
1:27:46
there that you will fall in love with Roland just as just as we have.
1:27:49
He will be the next host. You'll get rid of me, Dead
1:27:54
may Own Green be the guy in Roland Show. Final question, Harrison mcclul
1:27:58
did you ever see someone you knew from high school going to go on to
1:28:00
turn out completely different to what you were expecting them to do? So going
1:28:03
from a loser to a big success or going from gifted bride to having a
1:28:06
down for et cetera. Umm m, I'm just trying to think. I
1:28:12
don't really know. I was thinking about this the other day. I really
1:28:14
know many people from who went to high school with I tried to find some
1:28:17
recently and I'm like there was, actually there was one person the other day
1:28:21
I sent to Nicol. I'm like, this chick here was like the chick
1:28:25
everyone wanted to be with. You know, she was like the hot one.
1:28:28
You know, everyone just want to be want to be her boyfriend,
1:28:30
blah blah blah, and like year nine, year ten, and then shot
1:28:32
moved schools and everyone's like, oh, wonder what happened to And I looked
1:28:34
it up and I'm like, oh, oh my, in what way?
1:28:42
I mean did we? And no, in just a conspiracy theorist incredibly obese
1:28:49
okay changes the profile three times a day on Facebook. Just I was like,
1:28:55
Wow, you were like the it girl. I knew someone like that.
1:29:00
It's a story I was too sad to tell. So I don't know
1:29:01
if I'm it really is actually, so I won't go I won't go too
1:29:06
deep into it. But yes, I mean, look, I think the
1:29:09
bulk of the people that I knew and hung around with in high school,
1:29:14
I would say that we've changed that none of us have changed all that much.
1:29:16
I mean, of course we've changed, because you know, we've got
1:29:18
plenty of miles on the meter. But I haven't seen too many radical one
1:29:23
to eighty degree shifts. I mean, people change, but they not that
1:29:29
many changed that radically, to the best of my knowledge, last of my
1:29:31
experience. Shall we say I was. I felt pretty good about myself recently.
1:29:34
I went to a Woolworths around here, and when I wasn't, I
1:29:39
dropped out of UNI right because I started working at Ford and I sorted I
1:29:42
dropped out of Union. I was like, I'm going to get a full
1:29:43
time job, just work right. I wasn't enjoying Union. I was just
1:29:45
like, it's a waste of time and money. And then I remember when
1:29:47
I did it. There was this guy that made fun of me for dropping
1:29:50
out. Oh yeah, the drop out. You saw me out in towns
1:29:53
like, oh it's the dropout a yeah, and everyone's like, you're forging
1:29:55
to drop out? What a prick. I saw this guy and it was
1:29:59
stuck in shells at fucking wool Worst, and I was like, fuck you.
1:30:04
We are not here to disparage on its labor. Of course, if
1:30:08
you're going to be a dick. Yes it was. It was me going
1:30:10
back and beating up the bully. You're Superman Superman too, but yeah,
1:30:16
if you're gonna play stupid games, you win stupid prizes. That's why I
1:30:19
always loved the end of never Inenning story where he's like there's a falco the
1:30:23
big dog thing that he was sitting on that used to fly around with because
1:30:26
you get bullied a lot. The Sebastian kid and he's like, focus,
1:30:28
what do you want to do? Is like let's go back and get those
1:30:30
bullies like like scared to share these bullies and stuff. And I'm like,
1:30:33
something was really good about the eighties, you know, you'd have that where
1:30:38
it was okay for bullies to get the come up with this even though there
1:30:40
were kids is like fucking kids, Yeah, whereas these days it's kind of
1:30:43
like, how about some reconciliation. Yeah, how about we know, how
1:30:45
about we work it out? I mediations Like, no, that bully needs
1:30:48
to get his fucking ass kid. Oh good times. All right, all
1:30:55
right, that's the end of Springfield Up. I hope you guys enjoyed our
1:30:58
review. We're gonna came up to an hour, but we were going to
1:31:00
try and keep this said before and yeah, we sort of started getting emotional
1:31:04
and reminiscent, and this weepens when you start the podcast at the forty five
1:31:06
minute mark. That is the shortestod of The Simpsons, the longest episode of
1:31:13
four Fingered disc gap. All right, next episode of the Simpsons is yocal
1:31:15
Cords, and I started watching it last night. Now apparently it's Lisa trying
1:31:19
to teach the Sparkler children, right. I watched like the first like ten
1:31:24
minutes of it, and I was like, Okay, this feels like a
1:31:26
more the proper episode of The Simpsons. So I enjoyed the first ten minutes
1:31:30
more than I enjoyed this episode, maybe because I was tired. I'm not
1:31:31
too sure, but I didn't really get to the clearest part yet. So
1:31:35
