The Boys Of Bummer (S18E18) · Four Finger Discount (Simpsons Podcast)

• 0:00
  Simpson drops the ball any kitchen and he kicks it again and again. Oh
• 0:07
  it's horrible flicking. Can't take your eyes away. It's like watching a monkey
• 0:11
  swallow a hand grenade. Four finger discounted. Welcome to four figure this gap.
• 0:32
  With this week, we're going to be feeling a little bit down because
• 0:35
  we're reviewing the Boys of Bummer. I'm Dano, yes, and I am
• 0:38
  guying. Welcome to the episode where we do the schlapping. I like that
• 0:43
  bit though. Those were my favorite moments. I've got a few. I've
• 0:45
  got more favorite moments yeah, from this episode than I imagined I would because
• 0:50
  at this episode, I was like, this is the thing A bit of
• 0:53
  a mixed bag for me because I liked it. I liked the mattress story
• 0:56
  right, I thought it was a bit weird because it's like, why is
• 0:58
  I'm not issuing the refund? This doesn't make sense. Wouldn't you return the
• 1:00
  matress to the stall? Shouldn't mister Costington's department. I don't go to Chris
• 1:06
  from JB High Fine and say I didn't enjoy this movie. I want to
• 1:08
  refund from you, sir. You sold me the movie. But you know
• 1:11
  what, I mean, But I thought the overall vibe of this episode was
• 1:15
  just so mean and cruel that it made it hard to even enjoy the funny
• 1:19
  bits. I feel like, if it wasn't so mean and cruel, I
• 1:21
  would have enjoyed those funny bits more. It's just the vibe of it just
• 1:23
  maybe going I get this is funny, but it was just so mean most
• 1:29
  of this. Yeah, there's certainly a way to do episodes where someone becomes
• 1:34
  the paria of the town. Yes, it's been done before it. I
• 1:38
  think it's been done with Bart certainly. I mean when topping off the head
• 1:41
  of the statue exactly, that's the one. That's the one. Yeah.
• 1:44
  In this case, however, Yeah, it really is all about executioners.
• 1:48
  It are all about the tone in which you do so. And in this
• 1:51
  way, it was just like, there's nothing amusing about this. There's nothing
• 1:56
  when it's when it's adults being mean to a child to this extent. If
• 1:59
  it was if it was home, I don't think it'd affect us as much.
• 2:00
  But seeing but when they animated him actually crying, I was like,
• 2:05
  but this is just not fun anymore. Yeah, if it's not going to
• 2:07
  be fun, then at least make it a lesson, Yes, because I
• 2:10
  get what they were going for with the whole And it's true, particularly with
• 2:14
  local teams and things, when they win a championship, they are legends,
• 2:16
  and the second they make a slight mistake, we just hound them. Right,
• 2:20
  But this is a child, and I know that's Springfield and it's meant
• 2:23
  to be that's the satire, but it went out for so long and it
• 2:25
  was so not un funny. It's just unrealistic certainly to some degree. I'm
• 2:31
  not alone in saying this, and I'm not the only person who is.
• 2:35
  But I grew up reading Peanuts. Charlie Brown. That was a good visual
• 2:38
  with the clothes coming off. Yeah, absolutely, And yeah they paid tribute
• 2:40
  that in this as well. So I was wondering if that might actually have
• 2:45
  informed some of this episode. But you know, Charlie Brown just copped it
• 2:50
  left and right all the time. And I felt so much for that guy.
• 2:54
  I related so much Charlie Brown growing up, because you know, I
• 2:57
  had receding hairline, poor dress, it's unreguarded. Love the little Redhaired girls
• 3:02
  guy and Charlie Brown soul brothers. I got the Charlie Brown Christmas for the
• 3:07
  Peanuts Christmas Like it's a foil cover and it's like a colored vinyl for Christmas.
• 3:12
  I was like, this is ye, I mean, Peanuts is just
• 3:15
  it's one of the great American works of art of the twentieth century. I
• 3:19
  don't think it gets as many much credit these days as it should. No,
• 3:22
  but it was people here, and people who grew up, say through
• 3:24
  seventies, eighties, nineties, still talk about it all the time. But
• 3:27
  like, I feel like anyone born after like say twenty ten, maybe even
• 3:30
  like two thousand, doesn't really know what Peanuts is. They know Snoopy maybe,
• 3:34
  but not really Charlie Brown. Yes, but not so much Charlie Brown.
• 3:37
  I think they tried to. I like with every like whever the animated
• 3:42
  property is like, Oh, there's there's money in there, let's make a
• 3:45
  movie out of it. They made a CGI film, didn't they did.
• 3:47
  I don't. I don't really recall it all that much, although going in
• 3:52
  I was like, oh, man, don't mess up, Charlie Brown,
• 3:55
  don't mess uplying it, don't mess up Lucy. I remember that it looked
• 4:00
  good though, and this is not bad. Yeah, yeah, And it
• 4:01
  was kind of faithful to the to the tone that charl Schultz created. But
• 4:06
  at the same time, I think we were entering a period whereas like,
• 4:10
  let's not be too mean, and there's an underlying listing Simpsons writers. There's
• 4:15
  another lying melancholy to Peanuts. We're not really talking about the boys Obama so
• 4:17
  much because there's not much to talk about. It's relevant and by the way,
• 4:23
  we have an awesome male bag that's been sent in. They'm going to
• 4:27
  be at the start of this podcast as we finished tucking here, because I
• 4:29
  thought this episode is such a down up, let's start off with a with
• 4:31
  something positive. Let's get a bit of it. But yeah, but yeah,
• 4:34
  so you thought they would be. They weren't being mean enough to Charlie
• 4:36
  Beann in the film. It wasn't mean enough so much as look, I'm
• 4:43
  not exactly sure where I'm going here. There was always positivity in Yeah,
• 4:46
  Peanuts, but it came through occasionally, it wasn't at the forefront. I
• 4:50
  think season eighteen, I think Charles Schultz was essentially saying life's kind of rough.
• 4:56
  Yeah, yeah, life can be pretty tough, and then people are
• 4:59
  going to have a go at, but occasionally there's going to be moments of
• 5:03
  friendship, of love, of support, of companionship, all that kind of
• 5:06
  stuff. That's the good stuff in life. Look out for it, Chaeriship
• 5:11
  when you get it. I feel like that it used to be Disney's model,
• 5:13
  even with kids films. Life's hard, Shit's gonna happen, but you'll
• 5:15
  get through it. You can overcome it. Yeah yeah, but fus It
• 5:18
  died. This wasn't Disney, but The Land Before Time, Big little Foot,
• 5:23
  his mother died. It's like when you're a kid, all these movies
• 5:26
  you think there's a traumatic but they got through it, you know. Yes.
• 5:31
  I always cite that line from Scream director Where's Craven? And he talked
• 5:35
  about how movies, horror movies in particular, can be emotional boot camp.
• 5:40
  You're watching a horror movie. Oh I'm scared. Wait a minute, I'm
• 5:42
  not dead. Oh yeah, okay, that's a fair point. Whatever doesn't
• 5:46
  kill me might just make me stronger. Yeah yeah, And I think that
• 5:48
  applies to Peanuts. It's like Alliott. He used to always have to have
• 5:51
  the hallway light on, and then one day I just turned it off.
• 5:55
  I said, no, you'd be fine, He'd be fine. He didn't
• 5:57
  really like his, I promise, if you get too scared, I'll put
• 5:59
  it back on. And I left it off in about two hours later,
• 6:01
  he's asleep and you wake up and he goes, I don't need the light
• 6:03
  anymore. I'm like, see, there you go. There's a movie on
• 6:08
  Netflix I haven't watched yet, but I'm quite keen to called The Ryan and
• 6:11
  the Dark. I haven't seen that one. I haven't seen it. Advertisement
• 6:13
  for it. Usually Netflix is like, you must watch this one Netflix front
• 6:17
  of the pod? Are they You're You're kind of dropping the ball when it
• 6:23
  comes to marketing a fan because there's so much people use Netflix as kind of
• 6:26
  the code word or that's the code of streaming right. Essentially, it's like,
• 6:32
  well, people my mum's age are just like, I've got the Netflix.
• 6:35
  Netflix is like, it's not the WWE of the wrestling world, but
• 6:38
  they're the WWE of the streaming world. But with that also comes being a
• 6:42
  buzzword for the worst of streaming as well. It's like, okay, yeah,
• 6:46
  you've got you know, some crap documentaries or oh, you had a
• 6:49
  good show, but you didn't market it all. And I've been that's the
• 6:53
  thing with Netflix. I don't really market stuff all that well. Content over
• 6:56
  quality pretty much. You know. If they think that something's really going to
• 6:59
  hit on the algorithm, push push push it and number one trending is is
• 7:02
  it really number one trending today? That looking rom com with what's the name
• 7:06
  from Jane the Virgin, it just looks ship the Red Glass. It's like,
• 7:11
  I don't think this is number one in Australia today. I think he's
• 7:14
  sucking a lot of people into watching this. But this one called a Ryan
• 7:16
  in the Dark is yeah, an animated movie, kids movie where a little
• 7:21
  boy is basically afraid of everything. He's like, but the thing I'm afraid
• 7:25
  of most is the dark. And then the dark comes to life? Uh
• 7:29
  comes to life. It's a c g I film. Yeah, Okay,
• 7:32
  and it's how the are you gonna mate that? It's not? It's very
• 7:35
  much like Monsters Inc. To the best. I think I know what you're
• 7:39
  talking about now, Yes, and Dark's like the actor who does it is
• 7:42
  a guy named Paul Walter Houser. He's a fantastic actor. He sounds a
• 7:46
  lot like Chris Farley in this though. But I'm the dark and I'm going
• 7:49
  to show you that I'm actually a pretty nice guy. The ovisinal Shrek.
• 7:51
  Yeah, this looks really thought, this looks really good. I'll watch it
• 7:56
  when I get around here. I am big upping this thing that I actually
• 8:00
  watched. It might be ship. But you know, sometimes though, and
• 8:03
  we'll get to this mailbag in a second, but sometimes it's nice to have
• 8:05
  things in your list that you're looking forward to watching it, and it gets
• 8:07
  to the point where you're like, I just like knowing that it's there gives
• 8:11
  me something to look forward to, but you don't actually watch them put aside
• 8:13
  for a rainy day very much. That's what Deep Rising was for me,
• 8:16
  because you can mention it for months and months and now that night I watched
• 8:20
  and I fucking loved it. But I'm just like, you know what,
• 8:22
  I've got two hours now, I'm in the mood, let's do this.
• 8:24
  And I was excited and it paid off. But I'm thinking this might be
• 8:28
  something for you and Elliott to enjoy. Ryan O. R I N and
• 8:35
  the Dark and the Dark have looked Oryan and the Dark Netflix. Okay,
• 8:41
  yeah, I know the one. Now I actually have seen it pop up.
• 8:43
  Yeah, I will check it out with Elliott I think it might be
• 8:46
  and thens on what we were talking about, and then he is now afraid
• 8:48
  of the duck again. Way it's the dark. It's bad, but this
• 8:54
  story right. So this will send in Simpson's mailbag at gmail dot com.
• 8:58
  It's from Chris Whitney. It's a bit of a long one, but believe
• 9:00
  me, does it pay off, particularly for you and I. We have
• 9:01
  a bit of a connection here. So hello, four Finger discounts. Long
• 9:05
  time listening to the pod one of my absolute favorites now for about six years
• 9:09
  since I first started listening. Keep up the great work. I have a
• 9:11
  brief story, so stick with me. Being from Lincoln, Nebraska, were
• 9:13
  pretty far away from Australia. However, in third grade, which was nineteen
• 9:18
  ninety two, we had an exchange student and his mum come to Lincoln from
• 9:20
  Geelong, Australia. All the places right. The mum was our literature teacher
• 9:26
  and the son was our age and they would both and they would both be
• 9:28
  with us for a year, spanning from January to December. We would usually
• 9:33
  play touch football or flag football, which is like American foota for kids in
• 9:35
  the States at recess. So there was definitely no physical tackling of any kind.
• 9:39
  Well, our exchange student, whose name was James, did not know
• 9:43
  this, and one of the first times he played, he absolutely leveled this
• 9:46
  poor kid who had the ball. We calmly explained to him through laughter that
• 9:50
  you went supposed to actually physically tackle someone in this version of the game.
• 9:52
  The very next play they threw a pass to me, and sure enough he
• 9:56
  comes James again on the other team, bearing down to me. I saw
• 10:00
  this and I looked and looked like he was going to creamy. So I
• 10:03
  meekly stepped out of bounds and curled up in case he was going to tackle
• 10:05
  me. I look up and he's just sitting there, laughing his ars off
• 10:07
  along with everybody else. He was never going to tackle me after the explanation
• 10:11
  he received after the previous tackle, but he thought it'd be funny to just
• 10:15
  pretend to. James and his mum are great and we were sad to see
• 10:16
  them head back to Australia later that year. So we fast forward about twenty
• 10:20
  years two twenty and eleven and it's late at night and I'm watching this AFL
• 10:24
  Grand Final that popped up on ESPN and it's Geelong taken on Collingwood. You
• 10:28
  remember that, you Obviously they keep talking about this fella named Jimmy Bartel,
• 10:33
  Oh my God, for Geelong, and I'm like, wait a minute,
• 10:35
  there's no way that's him. Sure Enough, the very kid who threw the
• 10:39
  fear of gotten to me on the playground in America is leading Geelong to a
• 10:41
  championship, win championship. It was him and his mum Diane who were here
• 10:46
  in Nebraska so many years ago, and Jim Bartel won the best player a
• 10:50
  field in that game. I've meant to send this email for a number of
• 10:52
  years since I started listening to the pub, but finally got around to it.
• 10:56
  I also watched I always watched AFL when it would pop on our sports
• 10:58
  channels for whatever, but that that twenty eleven final was the first time I
• 11:01
  actually watched a match in a very long time. Needless to say, it
• 11:05
  was fun to see ob the success that James or Jimmy Bartell's we know him
• 11:07
  here had made a Geelong fan in the process, and he made me a
• 11:11
  Geeong fan the process. If he attacked me, I could have claimed to
• 11:13
  be attacked by one of Geelong's icons. Thanks for the pot I hope you're
• 11:16
  feeling you're having a great year. How else was that we are definitely now
• 11:20
  having a great thanks to that letter. That was fantastic, Chris, thank
• 11:24
  you so much for sharing that story with us. What are the fucking odds
• 11:26
  of Bartel? I feel like we have to like send this to Jimmy.
• 11:31
  We absolutely should. My nephew, yep, gus went to school or did
• 11:39
  he go to school with Jimmy? Buttell Joey's yes, yes, yeah,
• 11:41
  yeah, so he may have gone to school with him. He definitely played
• 11:45
  footy with him back in the day, so I'm not sure they're still in
• 11:48
  contact at all, but yeah, Jimmy Bartel, absolute gelong hero, absolute
• 11:52
  ledge. This was a fantastic story, Chris, I know right you told
• 11:56
  this. I was like James, and then when he's like Jimmy, Buttell's
• 11:58
  like, but yeah, if you've got great stories like that, it's gonna
• 12:05
  be hard to top that story, obviously, but if the idea that he
• 12:11
  went to it was like nah, mate, So yeah, Jimmy, but
• 12:16
  I tell, if you're out there listening, get in touch with Chris Whitney.
• 12:18
  He wasn't here from you, but yeah, I thought it was a
• 12:20
  really fun story to start the show off with. That is really really good
• 12:22
  indeed. But getting back to the episode, obviously, so we touched on
• 12:26
  the mattress story. I brought up how it doesn't really make sense with Homer
• 12:28
  being the one to have to offer the refund, but I just liked the
• 12:33
  idea that there's a perfect mattress. My uncle Darren, who was you know,
• 12:35
  friend of the pod. He's a subscriber, I was on Patreon.
• 12:39
  He had this bet and yet he got rid of it like last year,
• 12:41
  but for like thirty years he had this mattress and it was so soft and
• 12:45
  it almost felt like a water bed, but it wasn't a waterbed. And
• 12:46
  whenever we say, uncle, Damn's like can we sleep in that bed please?
• 12:50
  It was like it was the best mattress. We went and bought a
• 12:52
  new mattress about I don't know, about five years ago. Changed everything,
• 12:56
  not just like sex life, but I'm just meaning like just sleepwise, Like,
• 12:58
  yeah, my mattresses can be a bad back, but there's something about
• 13:01
  a really good mattress. There really is, YEA. Lu and I went
• 13:05
  shopping for various mattresses. I mean, when Lu and I first got together,
• 13:09
  it was because we got our mattress, like fifty to fifty. They
• 13:11
  made it one way on this half and one way on that half. According
• 13:15
  to our back the new one is okay, I believe. Yeah. But
• 13:18
  when lu and I first got together and I would stay, it was like
• 13:20
  this bit's too sock. I was very much like Goldielogs, like I really
• 13:24
  like being with this lovely lady, but at the same time, this bed
• 13:28
  is this is untenable. So after we've been seeing each other for a while
• 13:33
  and yeah, we're both of you guys, I think we're going to be
• 13:37
  spending a better time in the same bed, we should probably get one that's
• 13:41
  good for both of us, not you. It's the mattress. Why are
• 13:45
  you leaving? Why do you always run away? It's the bed, honey?
• 13:50
  Why does this keep heavy? We did buy a new bed and then,
• 13:58
  yeah, we were lying on is that we were basically doing a homework,
• 14:03
  don't you When you're in a store laying on a bed, it's like,
• 14:03
  no, this is what you're supposed to be doing. But still laying
• 14:05
  out in a bed, and even in a bed store just feels odd.
• 14:09
  Well until you take your pants off. Oh yeah, that makes far more
• 14:11
  comfortable. We're are the human? Are you pants on? Pants off?
• 14:13
  In the bed? I'm clothes off. I'd never sleep the clothes on in
• 14:16
  the bed. Ah, I am clothes on. Well, I'm not pajamas,
• 14:20
  T shirt and shorts or whatever. Yes, yes, I can't.
• 14:24
  I just can't. I just can't do it. But certainly around this time
• 14:28
  of year, it is, it is hot along right now, it's going
• 14:31
  to be even hotter eight tomorrow degrees celsius and not the short that is in
• 14:35
  fahrenheit, but fucking that's near, and that's near and one hundred Yeah,
• 14:37
  pretty sure. I think forty equals are I think fort's a look centigrade or
• 14:43
  celsius thirty eight one hundred fahrenheit. I think celsius. You're probably right.
• 14:46
  I just confirm at fahrenheit. Look here, you're far can not be accessed
• 14:50
  thirty eight degrees. Stop asking about the weather. Celsius. Yeah, more
• 14:56
  interesting topic. It's one hundred exactly, and that this is the thing I
• 15:01
  remember watching The Sandlot, which we did a movie Guys review for one hundred
• 15:03
  and fifty degrees outside. What's one hundred and fifty degrees fairmlise fucking what it's
• 15:07
  like you're walking on the sun a sixty five? Did they weigh those sixty
• 15:11
  five degrees Outik, that's exaggerations. They were children, they exaggerated. But
• 15:16
  I always base my idea of what it must what fucking hot must be,
• 15:18
  is one hundred and fifty degrees. I don't think i've ever but continue.
• 15:22
  Yes, yeah, uh, naked sleeping, naked sleeping. I tend to
• 15:28
  be a either pajama shorts or boxer shorts and T shirt kind of person,
• 15:33
  even in this weather. But I'll I'll usually wag them and down sometime in
• 15:37
  the middle of the night, I stripped off my T shirt. Yeah,
• 15:39
  for the boys or everything. This is the thing I know I'm getting to
• 15:43
  towards middle age because I now get excited for a good pair of pajamas,
• 15:46
  because I like wearing pajamas around the house. When it's bad to my tack
• 15:48
  them off. But I get excited now for oh, the Simpsons pjs.
• 15:52
  Like I never used to bother with Peaches, I just wear T shirt and
• 15:56
  shorts. Now I like wearing pajamas. And I was talking to about our
• 15:58
  dear friends unc Rico, friends of the podcast. They're now looking into Yeah,
• 16:03
  it seems pajamas are now the thing. You know, for a while
• 16:07
  it was the Woodies and they became that everyone just copied in the oversized jumpes,
• 16:11
  oversized hoodies. But now it's pajamas, a themed license set of pajamas.
• 16:15
  Onesies were very big for a while, they were yeah, yeah,
• 16:18
  then Woodies took a role at the role of that. But now it's just
• 16:19
  pj's back to the classics. Nothing like the real thing, baby exactly.
• 16:26
  One know how we'll get into the whole love making the naked anyway, But
• 16:29
  what do you think of the story in the sense that do you think do
• 16:30
  you buy it to the fact that it can impact your sex life A good
• 16:33
  mattress, well, a little far fetched, but a little Yeah. I
• 16:40
  think a good sex life is good sex life wherever you're doing it. Yeah,
• 16:44
  I'm not sure that a mattress really, you know, plays that much
• 16:48
  of a role in it. Yeah, it's all about the way you.
• 16:51
  I think it's more. I think it's more about your dance, the courting,
• 16:56
  let's say. Yeah, I think certainly I recognize as I'm getting a
• 17:00
  bit older that oh sleep yes, oh yeah, I've been listening to a
• 17:06
  lot of motivational stuff, a lot of self helpy kind of things to ease
• 17:12
  my way along the journey of life. So many people are saying sleep just
• 17:18
  to sleep. You need it, you really need it. That's why when
• 17:21
  sometimes last week I got big, I'll go to bed late, right so
• 17:23
  I get a fast sleep. Last night, I was in bed and it
• 17:26
  was like two minutes to midnight. It's like hashtag now watching, and I'm
• 17:30
  like, why are you watching a movie? Guy? It's because I had
• 17:34
  access to the final episode of Monsieur Speed, which is a really really good
• 17:38
  show. I was a show. Okay, Yes, I wasn't watching a
• 17:41
  whole movie. Yeah, I just watching the last episode of YEA and it
• 17:45
  was the final episode really good. But do you put the hashtag now watching?
• 17:49
  Is that during or before? You're just about to before? Okay?
• 17:55
  Yeah, because I don't know whether. Sometimes I see it really late and
• 17:57
  I'm like, is he putting this is? I'm starting this now? But
• 18:03
  you're right there sleep. Sometimes it gets like ten o'clock and I'm like,
• 18:06
  you should just go to it, and I know I should just go to
• 18:07
  bed, but I go, but I really want to watch this thing without
• 18:11
  interruptions or I just want to do this. I just want to have me
• 18:14
  time, because I very rarely get me time. It's usually come to clean
• 18:17
  up the house, or podcasts or kids a while. But yeah, bed
• 18:19
  before ten is a good motto. I did that for about two months and
• 18:25
  it changed everything. I was just I've had more energy, I was happier.
• 18:27
  But yeah, it's really good. But you sound like a fuddy duddy
• 18:30
  when you say it's like you should get more sleep. Yeah, I know,
• 18:33
  but we should. People keep saying for the right reason. There's a
• 18:37
  reason for it. Absolutely. Yeah, Plus it just feels great. What's
• 18:42
  the time for you when you go to bed where you're like it's early enough.
• 18:45
  We're just like, oh, yeah, I'm gonna get a good night
• 18:48
  sleep for me. If I'm in bed before at nine thirty, I'm excited
• 18:51
  for that. There are sometimes when it's nine thirty. Absolutely, it's like,
• 18:53
  oh, I'm going to I'm going to slip the shit out of this
• 18:56
  night. I'm gonna make this note monch. And then and then you sit
• 19:00
  on your phone for two hours and it's like quarter to midnight, start watching
• 19:04
  something. But I need to toe my phone off when I get a bed.
• 19:08
  I give myself half an hour because otherwise I just get lost in time.
• 19:11
  I'll get a bed early. I stay awake longer on my phone.
• 19:14
  Well, I will have something on YouTube playing, or some sleep sound playing
• 19:21
  like some is it as mr or ams R. I know what you mean,
• 19:23
  though, yeah, sleep sound. It's not necessarily someone who storm sounds.
• 19:33
  I found a really great that loves loves the rain. There are so
• 19:40
  many videos of just like ten hours of a thunderstorms. That's my job.
• 19:47
  I remember. I remember seeing some tweets that was basically, is anyone else
• 19:52
  reads a stage where they slided a bit and just go oh yeah, that's
• 19:56
  the stuff. I was like, more than you know, I wonder if
• 20:00
  there's a market, right, just say, for example, it's a bit
• 20:03
  of thunderstorm, right, if I get the microphones, just record the storm
• 20:07
  right and then go Geelong storm from January twenty seventh, nineteen ninety seven.
• 20:11
  Right, there was a youtue channel that said you can listen to the actual
• 20:14
  storm from nineteen ninety six. Would you listen to that? I probably would?
• 20:17
  Actually, yeah, what do you think? I would like? Take
• 20:18
  you back? It's like it's just rain, but it's like this was the
• 20:22
  actual rain that I was listening to thirty four years ago. That's thirty kilometers
• 20:26
  from my house. Yeah, I don't know. Is there a market for
• 20:29
  that. I reckon there would be a person. I've got for loop from
• 20:32
  one of our anniversaries was you can go online and find this. This was
• 20:37
  the night sky on your anniversary. That's cool. That's actually really good because
• 20:45
  losing to the stars, Yeah, this would be a nice one. Yeah,
• 20:48
  she loved it. She did enjoy it, I think said she didn't.
• 20:52
  No, you thought it was a nice kid. That's did she actually
• 20:56
  enjoy it though? Look at were expecting a better response. Oh that's pretty
• 21:00
  thoughtful, and I think it's a pretty cool present. Yeah. Well,
• 21:03
  I mean I augmented that with some jewelry. Okay, flashy blingling. Next,
• 21:08
  I said, Mattress also this because I was thinking, yes, my
• 21:15
  favorite what are your favorite moments from the episode, mister Davis. I did
• 21:18
  enjoy once they won the I guess it was the semi final or the preliminary
• 21:22
  final or whatever it was that we caught the prelim but the game to get
• 21:27
  into the championship. Yes, where the team is up on the dais and
• 21:33
  they're just acting like dickheads. I mean, Bart moons the crowd and never
• 21:36
  and starts throwing eggs. Quimby says, these boys are found the right to
• 21:38
  act like arrogant arrogant oaks. Yep, that's the way it goes, and
• 21:44
  I kind of agree with it to some degree. This is semi related but
• 21:48
  not really, or this is not related but sort of is. You didn't
• 21:52
  tell it anyways, so just tell it. I met another show that's just
• 21:56
  finished up Season four of True Detective. Okay, you saw the best ending
• 22:00
  ever or something. I did not put that. Oh oh that was for
• 22:03
  season two, which is really good, which you thought was Season four did
• 22:07
  not have such a great gay It was fine. But the guy who created
• 22:11
  True Detective to begin with, writer Nick Pitzolato, he's not really involved with
• 22:15
  season four, but he's got his name on it and I imagine as casting
• 22:18
  a sizeable check from it. That still hasn't stoped him being absolute bitch on
• 22:22
  social media saying, eh, this kind of sucks True Detective. Yeah.
• 22:26
  So he's critiquing the product, yeah wow, and profiting and piss taking.
• 22:33
  Yeah, And part of me is going, I don't know. I always
• 22:34
  enjoy it. When artists or whoever talk about the smack, it's kind of
• 22:40
  fun and it's kind of dishy and interesting at the same time, shows have
• 22:44
  got some balls. I'm also thinking you should be above this, my man.
• 22:49
  But if I was making true attative season four, I probably would appreciate
• 22:52
  the original guy taking the piss. No. The woman who is basically behind
• 22:57
  Season four, who directed all the episodes and wrote a lot of them,
• 23:03
  has been very diplomatic about it all so of some of the co stars and
• 23:06
  say, well, you know that's what they think. Yeah, so it's
• 23:08
  a shame, but you know, what are you gonna do? Yeah.
• 23:11
  Part of me's going, yeah, tell it like it is. If you
• 23:15
  Yeah, if you don't like that someone has in your mind Sully, the
• 23:18
  name of something you created, something you're really associated with, go for it.
• 23:22
  It's fun, it's dishy. Another part of me is going, you
• 23:26
  should be better than this. You should be kind of a be an example,
• 23:29
  be a role model. I agree, but I also think if there
• 23:30
  was a post from George Luca's shit Canning the Last Jedi when it first came
• 23:33
  out, can you imagine how much engagement that would have gone? I would
• 23:37
  have done it, so it's just trade tradings. So it's always a fine
• 23:44
  line of like being confident enough and celebratory enough in something that you've accomplished,
• 23:49
  it should be constructive criticism. Yeah, there's a great line that a lot
• 23:52
  of you hear a bit was like be humble, but let motherfuckers know.
• 23:57
  Yeah, it was like, yeah, sure I won, but I won.
• 24:06
  So I think I thought that line really spoke to It's like taking the
• 24:10
  MJ approach a little Lebron approach. Lebron's more toned down. I mean,
• 24:14
  he brags back how good he is, but MJ's just sitting there with the
• 24:15
  Sigaronese mouth saying, motherfuckers, look at me. But he was doing that
• 24:18
  all the time. I mean it was pretty obvious, you know when when
• 24:22
  MJ was playing this guy thinks he's pretty good, but at the same time
• 24:26
  he's Michael Jordan. So I enjoyed that a bit. There's a gag when
• 24:33
  there's a crowd outside the Simpsons place and someone has a you know, like
• 24:37
  an out at the hospital. Is that side the hospital but's in the hospital,
• 24:40
  and they're saying that they're doing bart. I thought it was outside the
• 24:44
  hat. But it's later in the episode someone's holding a sign and then when
• 24:48
  I think, Marge says he's just a little boy and hoose and everyone sort
• 24:51
  of starts feeling bad. The sign drops and someone brings up saying we're sorry,
• 24:57
  and it just happens really quickly, sort of in the back. That's
• 25:00
  why I decided to do the fake game. Yeah, yeah, it is.
• 25:03
  It is the hospital because Bart falls from the tower. Ah, okay,
• 25:06
  yeah, that's it. My apologies, No, that's fine. And
• 25:08
  the other thing that I liked it felt like this was a gag that was
• 25:12
  a reverse engineer. They came up with the punchline first, and then it's
• 25:15
  like, oh, how do we make this happen? How do we make
• 25:18
  this happen? And it's when margin Homer are ghosts at the day? Yeah,
• 25:25
  oh, let's have go sex. Go sex is worse than nothing?
• 25:27
  Well, why are you moaning because I'm a ghost? That's a pretty good
• 25:32
  punchline. And it feels like the punchline is that why were you moaning because
• 25:34
  I'm a ghost? You didn't need to go there. But I guess it
• 25:37
  paid off of having ghost because you're still Yeah, but like that was it
• 25:40
  was fine. It's just because I was a ghost. Yeah, it didn't
• 25:44
  feel like it wasn't a great gag, but it had a great punchline.
• 25:45
  Yeah yeah, I lined Marge making the deal with the coach. How that
• 25:49
  sort of it's like, oh, you pretend to be the ghost of the
• 25:52
  musment part that I want, let's just stop now. And I liked the
• 25:56
  line of now, I'm not a man who believes in miracles, but you
• 26:00
  could this bed could resurrect our sex life. And then the slapping just because
• 26:04
  I haven't touched on this. The thing I liked about the love Joys here
• 26:07
  was that for maybe season or two now, we've been complaining about how they
• 26:11
  seemed so unhappy all the time. At least this is a bit of a
• 26:15
  payoff to that. Now we know. Next question, you there eating the
• 26:19
  beast, all right, mister Davis, It is time for trivia. Okay.
• 26:23
  Oh I'm gonna hit you hit me? Okay. The first question we
• 26:26
  called it the prelim a little earlier. What was the final score of the
• 26:30
  pre limb Ah shit, I'm just seeing five two at some point that's obviously
• 26:36
  not it. What was it? It became five to three five three,
• 26:37
  Okay, yes, I was initially going to say, what is the name
• 26:41
  of the Springfield Little League team? But yeah, I thought they're only saying
• 26:45
  this one. I'll stop there, and then they said it all the time.
• 26:49
  I don't remember them saying. I remember seeing the word isotots. My
• 26:52
  first question is what's the name of the mattress that margin homer give? Oh?
• 26:56
  Instead a slap and tickle at something else? Oh? Oh damn?
• 27:00
  What do you do when you're having sex? Generally it's bouncing, giggle,
• 27:07
  finish early in sleep. I apologize the apology range from a guy that was
• 27:22
  a range of bed card. I'm sorry. I totally get one should be
• 27:26
  condoms, right, probably. I just think it was Valentine's Day recently,
• 27:33
  and I know I have the right batch of social media buddies because so many
• 27:37
  were putting up you those little candy hearts that have got little. So many
• 27:41
  people are putting out those with things like test negative or your money's on the
• 27:47
  dresser. It's like I'm on a list something like that. It's getting more
• 27:55
  and more deplorable. Now. The reason I had such trouble with the with
• 28:00
  that question because I had a similar one, okay, which is what is
• 28:03
  the brand of mattress that Homer sells? The love Joys. I won't cheat,
• 28:08
  I do. That's by the Matcham Moses match by Matrimonium. It starts
• 28:15
  with s, doesn't it snoke snuggl luffer, snagge luckers, snug lucks snugger
• 28:19
  luck. Yes. I was halfway to it when I was like, that's
• 28:23
  not it stopped saying that word. My next question is what are the two
• 28:27
  headlines in the sports section. One of them is It's just shame. Yeah,
• 28:34
  Boy's shame or something just a shame? Is it just shame? Yeah?
• 28:37
  Yeah, okay. The other one is Boy's Era weekends dollars alright.
• 28:41
  In your final question, my final question to you is when Homer is in
• 28:47
  Costington's, how many shopping bags is he carrying around? Oh that's a good
• 28:51
  question. Bit off there. I can say five and you'd be very close,
• 28:56
  but it is four. I did also appreciate that because when I got
• 28:59
  shopping with Nick and I'm just like, where's the chair? I have sat
• 29:04
  in that chair more often than shoes shopping in my I'm like two hours.
• 29:10
  She walks out one pair, one pear, one pair. Well, I
• 29:14
  just didn't like, I don't want to spend money like Nichola were just doing
• 29:18
  Nicholas English accent. I just want one pair. She's just like sometimes she
• 29:22
  goes, we go shopping and then I'm just waiting for her to I know
• 29:26
  what I want. I look up and advance, go jab high five,
• 29:27
  fucking get this movie, Ben, grab something else while I'm there, I'm
• 29:30
  out. She says that she bruises shoes for like three hours and walks at
• 29:33
  one pair because she's like, I don't want to spend too much money on
• 29:36
  myself. I'm like, that's why we're here, spend and spend and spend
• 29:41
  exactly. My final question is what is the commentator called the link sausage.
• 29:48
  He calls it the death Winger Deathener. Yeah, just get that death winer
• 29:52
  away from me, which is I've heard more often not my romantic life.
• 30:06

• 31:41
  Boys of Bumma. Let's do that. The usual edit was April twenty nine,
• 31:45
  two thousand and seven. It was written by Michael Price and this was
• 31:48
  the first episode directed by my man Rob Olivo, who was the guy who
• 31:52
  was basically took us under his arm, under his wing when we went to
• 31:55
  the Simpsons studio Nikio Saudia, she was a production coordinator at the time.
• 31:59
  She's like, I have to go do some shit here, Rob. These
• 32:00
  guys are Simpsons fans. Mastro and he was like, it's like in his
• 32:04
  officer. We sent in his office like an hour and he's like, so
• 32:07
  do you like stuff? Basically he showed us how to draw margin. The
• 32:10
  video for that is on YouTube. That's that's Rob. Yeah, and he
• 32:14
  was the man for you Simpsons nerds out there, speaking of him, see
• 32:16
  the big couble cut out there the Simpsons Season five release of the DVD's I
• 32:20
  see it. I'm pretty sure that no one listening to this podcast can see
• 32:22
  you. No, but on social media this week, so you probably can
• 32:24
  see it. Yes, that's well, that's me told. It was seen
• 32:27
  by like one hundred thousand people on our Twitter page. But basically he was
• 32:30
  the man who designed all of the Simpsons DVD cover art box sets for the
• 32:34
  box sets. Yeah, Rob, it's good work, muddy, Yeah,
• 32:37
  exactly right. All right, So the episode kicks I was a catch game
• 32:40
  for this one. It was Yeah, the couches replaced by four wooden chairs
• 32:44
  and good chairs. Yes, pop ghost the wheel. Right. So the
• 32:45
  episode kicks off with can you remember mister Davis kicks off with, well,
• 32:50
  it's the isotopes. It is the tos. What did I say? Isotopes
• 32:54
  is the is the ground topes is the grand version of Iso tots, the
• 32:58
  younger version of nice plan on there. Yes, and they were at the
• 33:00
  ball game or the ball field springfield, a little league park he warned,
• 33:06
  your child is not as good as you think. That's a great sign because
• 33:08
  it is so true. Even like when Elliot's like really really good at something,
• 33:10
  I'm like, I'm becoming that parent that thinks his kids better than everybody
• 33:15
  else. I'm like, he's actually pretty fucking good, Like he bowls me
• 33:17
  out cricket. But it's like if I if he then goes some place cricket
• 33:21
  with other kids, is he going to be just another average joke? Because
• 33:23
  at the moment I think he's pretty good. Keep it on. He could
• 33:28
  be the next Beckham. You can be the next and dad, dad Beckham,
• 33:30
  and your son's like the next MJ walking around with cigars in his mouth.
• 33:36
  Took it personally, but Homer is late due to watching all the hot
• 33:39
  dogs in the in the roller. I guess I got the corn and Nelson
• 33:43
  throws the balls. What's a picture it punch, isn't it. Yeah,
• 33:46
  that's a gag that kind of wore out its welcome pretty quickly. Yeah,
• 33:52
  and using it. Yeah, Flanders is the coach. They're one went awy
• 33:54
  from the Championshi, they didn't really do anything with this. I thought,
• 33:57
  Oh, Flanner's gonna be the coach and then Home is going to replace him
• 33:59
  again, but no, Flanners was just always the and it's the only time
• 34:01
  you saw him as the coach though it was. And also what was the
• 34:05
  deal with the black armbands that kept Willy's naughty hands busy? Yeah, I
• 34:09
  know that felt like fellow. I know they're trying to go trying to tricky
• 34:15
  to thinking that Willy had passed, but it's like they didn't linger on it
• 34:16
  long enough for that to even really sink in. Yeah, yeah, it
• 34:20
  was odd, but they just wanted to make a I guess a rapist joke
• 34:24
  against really, I guess he is ready roddy peeper as we learned. Yeah,
• 34:29
  but they Yeah, they're doing it for Willy for making the black bicet
• 34:31
  warmers and then Bart hoggs the catch from Millhouse and Homers. This makes up
• 34:36
  for everything that's gone wrong in my life and ever will. Honestly, when
• 34:38
  your kid does something in sport, that's how not to this extent, but
• 34:42
  you feel us like, yes, everything is good now on my jeans.
• 34:46
  Yeah, yeah, he gets that from me, you know, he gets
• 34:47
  it from me. Now outs time of the town meeting for the team,
• 34:51
  they're all just celebrating Nelson's just I think he's just buying kiss it. But
• 34:53
  Bart flushes his ass. Speaking of Bart flushing his ass, he does so
• 34:58
  in Bart versus Australia yesterday marth, twenty ninth anniversary of that episode airing,
• 35:02
  and I messaged my man, Matt Salmon of Simpson I said, man,
• 35:07
  we get the Simpsons a revisit down Under for the thirtieth anniversary of Barbur's Australia
• 35:12
  and that phone? Who is now? Bart? Stay humble here? Baseball
• 35:20
  cap won't fit over a swelled head, Flanders. These boys have earned the
• 35:23
  right to behave like arrogant. Oh skew, we egg the crowd in this
• 35:28
  modern day Jedwood, you can do anything right? Are missing the phone?
• 35:39
  What glorious ghoul? Then Marges are getting dressed. She's picking out address at
• 35:45
  Cossington's, isn't she. Yeah, there's a lot of interesting ideas in here
• 35:49
  that just would really explored. As the coach, I'm like, that's a
• 35:52
  story been before with the football team. But it's kind of a story,
• 35:57
  you're right. I mean that could be a thing about no. No kids
• 36:00
  are here to play and have fun. You know, Little League is about
• 36:01
  learning teamwork and you know, resilience and all that kind of thing. It's
• 36:05
  not necessarily about win win win, And then you know you have home with
• 36:07
  his football coach hat on no win win win. That could be interesting,
• 36:13
  this whole thing about it's not helicopter parents, but the parents on the side
• 36:15
  line are like my son, et cetera, et cetera, Oh, my
• 36:19
  daughter, that's extremely batronizing girls complete sport two. Apparently it's funny because it's
• 36:28
  not funny. But Ali asked the question the other day. We're watching some
• 36:32
  as a band and as a girl singing. I was pixies, right,
• 36:36
  and he's like, why why is there a girl singer? And I was
• 36:38
  like, oh, she's a singer in the band. He goes to girls
• 36:40
  singing bands too, and I was like, wow, it starts from such
• 36:44
  a young age. I'm like, yeah, of course they do. And
• 36:45
  he's like, oh, because they can play football, and I'm like,
• 36:46
  they can't play football. I'm like, it's nice. Their kids are starting
• 36:50
  to sort of actually acknowledge, Oh, girls can do shit too. Oh
• 36:52
  okay then, and it's just and it's just normal because when I was growing
• 36:57
  up, it was like once a girl was like ten, no more football
• 36:59
  for you know, And it's just it shouldn't have been that way, but
• 37:00
  that's just how it was. It's just nice that kids now just it's normal
• 37:05
  for them to see girls doing things. It's also good that Elliott was introduced
• 37:07
  to Kim deal at this age. Oh yes, yeah, except we're watching
• 37:12
  like a recent concert and he was like, she doesn't look the same.
• 37:15
  And I'm like, yeah, that's not Kim, that's why. And I
• 37:17
  shed a tear. Is it not Kim in the Pixies? Now? Who's
• 37:22
  in the new Pixies. No, it's a one with long hairs. Not
• 37:24
  Kim anymore. She's she's gone for good now, Kim apparently not in life
• 37:29
  but just offteruring with the Breeders. Probably. Yeah. I saw her when
• 37:32
  they came twenty ten, I think played at Festival Hall. I was so
• 37:36
  glad it was Kim again. Yeah. I love Pixies. Do you like
• 37:38
  Pixies? I don't love them. I saw her alive and thought, yeah,
• 37:43
  pretty good. I mean they're one of those bands like everyone like likes
• 37:46
  Pixies or I had liked a Pixie song. Yes, yeah, that's pretty
• 37:51
  much the case. I wouldn't say, necessarily time to crank up some Pixies
• 37:54
  on the way, That is me. But I think a lot of bands
• 38:00
  Pixies, like, for example, I've got a blue rave Nirvana playing Paramount
• 38:02
  Theater or something, and David was wearing a Pixie shirt. I think they
• 38:06
  inspired a lot of bands, but they never really like became household names themselves.
• 38:09
  It's like that great line about The Velvet Underground. Oh yeah, they
• 38:13
  say the same thing. Yea, yeah, It's like only three people bought
• 38:15
  The Velvet Underground's first album, but they all started bands. Yes, and
• 38:19
  that was a really good band. But as you were saying before, though,
• 38:22
  there was definitely a lot of good ideas in this episode that could have
• 38:25
  become their own thing, but they just sort of just forgot about them.
• 38:30
  They were used as flavor salt and pepper, a little bit of hot sauce,
• 38:34
  but not pepper, just pepper, and not even that good hot sauce.
• 38:38
  More like, really we caught some wild yeah mild, and then they
• 38:45
  end up coming across like filler as opposed to a story which they could have
• 38:47
  become. Yeah, actual good ideas that you would talk about after this episode
• 38:52
  has unless, of course you're Dan doing Guy doing four finger discount. But
• 38:57
  even like, for example, March here buying a new dress and getting caught
• 39:00
  up in the in the hype, that's a story in the stuff as well.
• 39:01
  It is, yeah, yeah, but they didn't go with it.
• 39:04
  So people living through their kids or trying to get a bit of stolen valor
• 39:07
  or second ad glory, yep, that's it. Yep. So they mentioned.
• 39:10
  She's mentioned the name and batting average numerous times. The work at his
• 39:13
  hums while she waffles on Homer is now he hates shopping. He tries to
• 39:15
  find the husbands chair, but Hibbit and Wigham take them because Sarah Wigham is
• 39:21
  trying to find a bathing that doesn't make it look horsy. Another mean comment.
• 39:23
  I mean, it's not too as mean as the other stuff we get
• 39:27
  in this episode, but everything's mean spirited. It is. Although I was
• 39:30
  watching this on Disney Plus with the with the closed captions and they had Harsey
• 39:35
  in quote marks, So I think you can take that to assume that's Sarah
• 39:39
  saying that. Okay, you could say Horsey. Yeah. Yeah. He
• 39:46
  doesn't think that it's going to be a while, so it's just him sort
• 39:50
  of saying, so it's gonna be hard to find it, but it could
• 39:54
  be like you spend three hours shopping shoes. You look good, women,
• 39:59
  be we be shamming. Homer then sits on the bed, gets under the
• 40:07
  covers, and we will do it. We will do it, and we'll
• 40:09
  do it Eddie Murphy themed topic and we can pick Eddie Murhy films and then
• 40:13
  we'll just wrick it. So it's natty professor, Well, we'll make it
• 40:16
  as niche as possible. It's like Dave Chappelle cameos in films. Is there
• 40:22
  any others? It's like it's between this and Connie Yes, of course,
• 40:25
  fucking Connair. He's pinball. Holy shit, yeah he is too. That's
• 40:30
  a movie. I've been sitting there going, I'm going to revisit this soon
• 40:32
  because I loved Connye as a kid. But I'm gonna watch it in twenty
• 40:36
  years. I've got to do the I want to do the triple feature of
• 40:38
  Face Off, Face Off Conne and I think it's the Rock. I think
• 40:43
  that the Rocks are that one. Okay, yeah, they're all from the
• 40:45
  sort of that same yeah era. I think it was like, there's another
• 40:47
  one for me. That'd probably put in there. Maybe I'm ageddon. That's
• 40:52
  more of like a disaster film, though, isn't it. Yeah, good
• 40:54
  time, it's good time to be your life. Take us back. Why
• 41:00
  I want to watch Deep Rising? I said to Nicola, No, I'm
• 41:01
  enjoying this. It's because it's easy to buy into this because you didn't have
• 41:06
  cell phones. I mean, you had cell phones, but it wasn't like
• 41:07
  you couldn't play ot social media. So like you can buy into the fact
• 41:10
  that a ship could go under and no one will be able to communicate and
• 41:14
  they'd be missing, and no one would know they've got missing because we didn't
• 41:15
  have the Internet yet at it at its peak. You know, you've got
• 41:19
  so many shows and movies that they say, say, oh, don't have
• 41:22
  coverage. I've got no bars. That's the screen, right is easy out,
• 41:28
  that's the escape patch. Yeah. But so Homer's now found the bed
• 41:31
  and he's sitting on the bed and he's down to the cover. He takes
• 41:32
  his pants off, just getting getting comfortable as you would, and then mister
• 41:37
  Costing and wakes He mup, he can't believe it. He slipping into my
• 41:38
  store. I initially thought, I mean I looked away for a second and
• 41:42
  I started hearing the Costington voice. I thought, is it super intended charmers
• 41:45
  going? Because it sounds very similar. It's a ringer, but it's just
• 41:49
  a combination of He's meant to be a take of the Star Wars guy,
• 41:51
  isn't he, what's the what's the fat guy? The fat leader of the
• 41:53
  jar Jar? Yeah, that was that was his whod gimmick to I think
• 42:00
  there's always been jows, jolly yeah, pale brokers. Yeah, it's fun
• 42:07
  to do, isn't it? It is? How are you? It's poo?
• 42:10
  How many are you sleeping in the middle of my department store? Well?
• 42:15
  Who wouldn't with an incredible mattress like this? It works with my body's
• 42:21
  natural curves and supports my back boobs. That's the best endorsement I've heard since
• 42:25
  Mickey Mail for Maypole. I'll take five mattresses. I don't work here,
• 42:31
  you do now? Shun more hard now that it's off the championship game and
• 42:37
  Lisa one as what as my crowds to see teachers inspire children, And I'm
• 42:42
  just like, it's crazy town. Not that unneeded the sound necessary gag,
• 42:45
  Yeah, just means for the sake of mean Shelbyville. The bases a loaded,
• 42:51
  but they spinfer In is one more ass to win the game. They
• 42:53
  hit an easy catch to BT, but he fumbles it. Yeah, it
• 42:57
  doesn't go well at all. He Li boots it. He does. He's
• 43:00
  the original goat, the original meaning of goat. We started calling it greatest
• 43:05
  of all time. This is a shower back to Charlie Brown. They always
• 43:07
  refer to him as, Oh, you're the goat, Charlie Brown, which
• 43:09
  means you suck. Yeah, I am. I hate the term goat nows
• 43:13
  groaps of all time and just you're the goat, or people saying you're the
• 43:15
  goat's like going loll like, don't do it, don't say that it's over
• 43:19
  you, or people just put a picture of a goat as the murder kind
• 43:22
  I'm like, unless, of course, you want to refer to a full
• 43:28
  finger discount as the ghost of podcast of course. Yeah. I really liked
• 43:30
  the setup though before Butt marked it, Upper Markedt caught the ball. Sorry
• 43:36
  of him like lady putting his hat down about the championship. That was a
• 43:38
  really cool visual. I like that, but did you know so later in
• 43:43
  the episode actually we'll touch it later. Its basically there was an incident with
• 43:46
  the Cubs where a fan interfered with a catch, which they take off.
• 43:51
  Here is that when Homer catches it. When Homer catches it, yeah,
• 43:53
  because they designed the guy wearing just what he was and everything. The guy's
• 43:59
  last time is Bartman. Can you believe it? Oh my goodness, oh
• 44:04
  Steve Bartman. We'll get to that when we get to that. Okay,
• 44:08
  but Barter's dropped the catch. Everyone's yelling at him. It's like watching a
• 44:12
  monkey swallow a hand grenade. Harry is always great as commentators and things like
• 44:15
  that, as news readers, as his thing. It's really good spot absolutely,
• 44:22
  and the crowds were booing. And it is true that we just weturn
• 44:24
  on athletes. We can be like a guy can kick a match winning goal.
• 44:28
  In the following week he drops the mark, you suck. It's like
• 44:30
  last week you loved him. You would have had his children. In Geelong,
• 44:34
  we call this Tom Hawks phenomenon. The five years of his life,
• 44:38
  it was like, boo, why do we have him replace him? And
• 44:42
  now it's like hawks, like, oh, hail the hawk. He w
• 44:46
  was a great final he did I'm not sure when Tomahawk became the nickname that
• 44:52
  we designated him but t bone, but I think once he started actually kick
• 45:00
  goals, being the best, yeah, or being more consistent. It's just
• 45:04
  even now he's still a little occasionally inconsistent, but it's just one of those
• 45:07
  guys where it's just like you're big, but you're also agile. Now too
• 45:10
  is just added this extra element to his game where it's like, fucking he
• 45:14
  saves us and what he's throwing ocasionally throwing Jeremy Cameron as well, the other,
• 45:17
  yeah, the other one of the best sports. It's like thank you.
• 45:20
  But everyone's I'm like, I mean he will be lining up to kick.
• 45:24
  We're like, I don't think, just kick. Well. We call
• 45:28
  the confidence player here as a Geelong fan listeners, because if tom Hawks misses
• 45:32
  his first goal, he's going to miss every goal for the game. If
• 45:35
  he sees the first one, we're like, we're gonna win. But also
• 45:39
  when he's going for goals on the run or something like that, or you
• 45:42
  know, from seemingly impossible angl, it's like, yes, yes, it's
• 45:45
  like you're three ft away. No, it's gonna end up in like Winch'll
• 45:51
  see that's a very very gelong reference. But take it to me and he's
• 45:55
  gonna shank cancel his ship out. Tom Hawgan's by the way we love you
• 45:59
  come on the show. Is that is that a term for other sports?
• 46:00
  When we say shank, we mean fuck it up? I mean it's it's
• 46:06
  traditionally a golf term. Right, are you shaking? Is that he's saying
• 46:07
  golf when you're shanky when it goes to the side, Yes, you slice
• 46:13
  it, yeah yeah, slice or shank yeah whatever, you suck it up,
• 46:16
  you fuck it up. And I guess we've started to put that into
• 46:20
  other sports. And speaking of sucking up, butt fucks up here and the
• 46:22
  crowd turns him. Of course it is correct. We come back from the
• 46:25
  commercial and the crowd are all still billing and it comes up on the sign
• 46:29
  throw beer at him. Just it's just it's getting too much. I think.
• 46:32
  I know it's just satire, it's just an animated show, but I
• 46:35
  think, just being a child, it's a little bit too much. They
• 46:37
  haven't done, in my opinion, quite enough to build up why it's so
• 46:43
  important. It's important. They need to do a Friday Light. Friday Lights
• 46:45
  kind of thing where it's like, oh, the town's self esteem and well
• 46:51
  being and of tots, you know, yeah, and it's the ice of
• 46:54
  tots. Why do you care so much about this? Yeah? This is
• 46:58
  something interesting. I mean, particularly American friends, if you want to let
• 47:01
  us know why college football and high school football are so incredibly popular. I
• 47:07
  mean, the NFL is clearly popular. People tend to know who Travis Kelcey
• 47:12
  is these days, but high school football and college football tracks some really rabit.
• 47:16
  It's huge fan bases and followings. I think it's just important because they're
• 47:21
  very patriotic, especially from what whenever you say someone where you're from, it's
• 47:24
  not just the town, it's the state, everything very much so. So
• 47:29
  if you'd like to tell us a bit about this, by all means,
• 47:31
  get into the mailbag. That mail bag down. Its a Simpsons mailbag at
• 47:35
  gmail dot com. You could also do it on one of our many social
• 47:38
  media pages, I'm sure, but then we get mo even saying things like
• 47:42
  if you's ruty protection, we wouldn't even be in this situation. I'm just
• 47:44
  like, oh Jesus christis is mean? Wigham drives back into it, puts
• 47:47
  the roof down. So they can throw more shit at him. We're now
• 47:51
  at home and Homer is told to hide the sports section that we mentioned earlier.
• 47:53
  Margin tells home, I mean, don't you think I do your job
• 47:57
  as a mattress salesman? Oh yeah's see how that goes again. And they're
• 48:00
  just knowledging that it doesn't really make sense anymore. He doesn't have a job
• 48:02
  at the power plant. It's just what we need him to do this week.
• 48:06
  It's not necessarily a gag I hate. But see I hadn't even thought
• 48:08
  about it until they pointed it out. It's like, oh, yeah,
• 48:12
  that's that's silly. But whatever. I think we're at the point now by
• 48:15
  season eighteen, when you're watching these episodes in a row, the whole nuclear
• 48:19
  power plant doesn't enter the equation of my mind anymore. Not, it really
• 48:22
  doesn't. It's just what's his what's his gimmick for this one? Being that
• 48:25
  self aware and sort of Fourth War breaking with it? Sometimes I like that,
• 48:30
  Yeah, in this case, it was more like, I see what
• 48:32
  you did. They're as supposed to see what you did that. Homer is
• 48:36
  now selling beds. He's doing a pretty good job. Who wants to get
• 48:38
  one? It's like floating in a river of corpses. He wants to get
• 48:40
  away from his kids. The love joys here. You know, I've got
• 48:44
  a friend of a friend's sex problem. Man. One of my questions was,
• 48:47
  where can they hear Homer in? What other departments? China? Find
• 48:52
  China, China, Homer, we have a friend, actually a friend of
• 48:59
  a friend the text problem. Hey, Homer, please they can hear you
• 49:02
  and find China. Relax. I'm a licensed mattress professional, if there were
• 49:08
  such a thing, and I've got the answer to your problems. The Snug
• 49:14
  Lucks by Matrimonium ooh sold, and remember your most intimate secrets are safe with
• 49:23
  me. Okay, who else is dead in bed? I like to hear
• 49:28
  that Homer wasn't necessarily judging them for having shit sex off. He He's just
• 49:30
  like, no, no, there's a fixing problem. Yeah yeah, so
• 49:34
  his solution driven rather than problem oriented. Yeah yeah, who else is dead
• 49:37
  in bed? So again coolness KBBL no official. But then then now the
• 49:42
  official Bart Simpson Sucks station and we get the takeoff of Love Stinks, which
• 49:45
  is now Bart Stinks. Wasn't that funny? Not really not? But again,
• 49:50
  all these things, uh, shouting out things that actually happen in society.
• 49:55
  Sorry for the sidetrack. Yeah, the Lovely Luis and I were watching
• 49:59
  this three pound documentary about disco dico music. Oh you mentioned this actually about
• 50:04
  the rise of it, success of it, and the third episode was the
• 50:07
  downfall and then inevitable slight comeback. Yeah. But some dip shit radio DJ
• 50:12
  in the States who you know, just look like one of those demon and
• 50:15
  weasel in the money. That's gonna be us. By the way, heart
• 50:19
  sounds on his keyboard and he's going to money. We've definitely got an airhorn.
• 50:25
  Gotta love airhorns. Ah, but he was the guy who basically greaded
• 50:30
  the whole disco sucks phenomenon. Okay, and enough sort of aggrieved. Nineteen
• 50:37
  seventies version of in Cells got on board and say, yeah, that's right,
• 50:40
  disco sex. This is new backing. And you know he took this
• 50:45
  and ran with it to the one of both. I can listen to two
• 50:50
  genres of music. There's a thing on your radio called it die. You
• 50:53
  can turn it and listen to another station. One. You tell me which
• 50:57
  music you want to listen to that reminds me of Crement, Why don't you
• 51:00
  tell me what movie you want to see? I wish I hear a lot
• 51:04
  about the Mister Movie Phone guy that they had in the US. I mean,
• 51:06
  I wish we had something like that there in Australia. We sort of
• 51:08
  do, but not really. Yeah, but he sort of took that and
• 51:13
  ram with was like, Hey, why don't we have a like a baseball
• 51:15
  when everyone can bring their disc albums and will blow them up? It's really
• 51:19
  why why don't you just promote the music you like? I mean, I'm
• 51:22
  at the same time, I'm not the kind of person who's like, why
• 51:25
  don't we just talk about those things? But to do the Marge thing of
• 51:29
  like, so can't I bet that everybody has the time. That's the greatest
• 51:32
  thing is it's so good. It's like one of the perfect marginals. I
• 51:35
  kind of bet the horses have a great time. I'm all for constructed criticism.
• 51:38
  I'm not necessarily for being a hater. There are times when seeing someone
• 51:45
  being a hater is actually kind of fun, but often it's just kind of
• 51:47
  man, that's pretty weak sauce man. I did see a great quote from
• 51:51
  Taylor Swift this week, right, I know you mentioned talyor Swift I think
• 51:53
  might be in the South Part podcast or anything. Was it like four Thing
• 51:55
  a Discount is my podcast of choice. That guy Davis sounds like a real
• 52:00
  hoty. But she said and then she wrote a song about me because the
• 52:05
  question was like, do you care if people are making fun of Lot the
• 52:07
  Swifties for dressing up? She's like, I never understood why people feel the
• 52:12
  need to make fun of people for having for being excited about something. I
• 52:15
  was like, that's true, Like what if someone's excited about something, who
• 52:20
  are you to bring them down because you don't like it as well? Just
• 52:22
  let them be excited. Who cares? There's so much to be excited about
• 52:25
  in this world. Yeah. I was on the tram going to mash Box
• 52:29
  twenty right, and the tram was feelingful. People are dress up as Taylor
• 52:31
  Swift, and I was just like, good, good, having a great
• 52:35
  time. You'll think you'll they're going, hey, matchbox over here. Came
• 52:38
  in a little matchbox in my bucket. Twenty of them about start at the
• 52:47
  time, and one more and one more? How many is that? Twenty?
• 52:53
  Well, one goes missing. It's nineteen dickhead right off supermarket. Well,
• 53:02
  we're amusing ourself all this episode's not certainly not doing it. But where
• 53:07
  were we up to? Mother? There's the song again, Lisa's this is
• 53:10
  a surprise for Bart again. So Homer apparently buried his pet rabbit alive.
• 53:15
  What's a lot of fucking need for this line. There's a lot of really
• 53:20
  yeah, mean spirits stuff, just unnecessarily mean cruel shit. I just don't
• 53:23
  get it anyway. But now she he gets introduced to Joe labout who from
• 53:28
  the nineteen forty three World series he messed up as well, another mean thing
• 53:31
  Eleanor Roosevelt when she was beautiful, And I was like, what the why
• 53:36
  is everything so mean in this? What's going on? But then he mentions
• 53:39
  here that he's got the car dealership and the seventeen grandchildren, and he's got
• 53:44
  a big home, which to most people would be a great thing, that
• 53:46
  would be a signifiers of a life World live with. Grandpa makes fun of
• 53:51
  him and then he realizes that he's talking to Bart, and then he yells
• 53:53
  at him, and I did enjoy the delivery of whoo who indeed, But
• 53:59
  but it's where Bar cries and I was like, I can't enjoy this anymore,
• 54:01
  because now you've got a child crying, it's not funny anymore. I
• 54:05
  really like all these ideas in theory, I really do. I think they
• 54:08
  say something. I think they work, but yeah, it's just the execution
• 54:13
  was just not quite right. You just need to turn the dial a little
• 54:16
  bit. Yeah, just turn it on a bit. It's probably too many
• 54:20
  ideas that they need to be in there. Yeah, I mean, I
• 54:22
  think the idea of Joe labout a guy who's like, yeah, I really
• 54:24
  went through all this, but you know it gets better and you can bounce
• 54:28
  back. Oh wait a minute, you suck, Oh you suck. You
• 54:30
  could have everyone gets caught up in the in the fuel of like oh oh
• 54:36
  you're the scapegoat or you're the whipping boy. I guess yeah, I've got
• 54:37
  to get it on that action. The love Joys are now at the Simpsons
• 54:40
  home and Homer comes clean about drinking the holy water blah blah blah, and
• 54:44
  they mentioned that the matches failed and they want a refund. I was just
• 54:45
  like, what what is this logical connotation? Is pffunity? What's happening?
• 54:53
  I did like the line about we tried raising cane, but we weren't able.
• 54:58
  I love Joyce about me drinking that holy water. Let me tell you
• 55:01
  I had had like a million Doritos, you know the ones with the flame
• 55:06
  on the bag. Oh, that begging lion. We're here about the mattress.
• 55:09
  What's wrong with it? We tried raising caine, but we weren't able.
• 55:14
  Oh I can't. I know what you're doing wrong? Have you tried
• 55:19
  after this? I know the mechanics of love making, Homer. You always
• 55:23
  a refund rack your chick. They start then getting down on home as bed
• 55:29
  as he's right in the check And as we said, and I'm not a
• 55:30
  man who believes miracles, and this could resiate our sex life. You do
• 55:34
  this shopping and just Helen just getting it done, because Helen clearly likes uh,
• 55:37
  getting down, getting busy. Yeah, Homer and Marge just not feeling
• 55:40
  it now in their own bed. Something's changed. This here thought didn't work
• 55:45
  because it's like something's changed. I can't quite figure it out. I got
• 55:47
  rid of the mattress, and I was like, that's not a punchline.
• 55:52
  Look, you build it up like he's like, oh, he's going something's
• 55:54
  gonna lead to a punchline. But No, it's just him going the mattress.
• 55:59
  But then he and Marge mentions that there's money in there. He used
• 56:00
  to unbling or whatever. Useless. The love joys, though, are now
• 56:06
  loving life at church. I'm looking like this, this little having a great
• 56:08
  time. Everyone's enjoying church except for Homer. I would go to church if
• 56:12
  this is kind of thing was going down. I always say, like you
• 56:14
  watched Sister Act and a ship, Like, if this was church, I
• 56:15
  would actually go. It's like a little concert. Oh yeah, just getting
• 56:19
  down. Yeah, seeing all these awesome Baptist church and Baptist churches in America
• 56:23
  where everything's just going right off. I imagine that's what white people think.
• 56:28
  That's hill Song for them. By the way, if you go to Hillsong
• 56:30
  and that's your thing, hey, we'll power to you. We're not heading
• 56:34
  here. On this episode of We'll Figure Discount, we're talking about how good
• 56:37
  it is to like things. Homer is muttering to himself about how he's not
• 56:39
  getting anything sexual or doing anything erotic with Marge. Then Lisa wakes to I
• 56:44
  hate Bart Simpson painted everywhere all over town. Nowson tells Rod and Newson Flanners
• 56:49
  tells Rod to fetch the Thinner from the stay away closet, and Lisa points
• 56:51
  out the window and says, look at there, and Bart's just painting it
• 56:53
  on a tower. Yeah, where it march just manomally. It needs glasses
• 56:58
  for why? Yeah, and like never see him again. It would have
• 57:00
  been great if there was a callback to was it Last Temptation Home? Of
• 57:05
  course, any shout out the Last Temptation Homer, it's going to be okay
• 57:08
  by me. But if it was those glasses that Bart had to wear that
• 57:10
  time, I'm a nerd, so man, but you were a happy even
• 57:17
  before this moment with oh god, they've been mean to Bart, and you
• 57:21
  know Bart's being all sad and all that. This was the stage where it
• 57:23
  really sort of becomes toxifizing, the self loathing. Yeah, I don't my
• 57:29
  actual note for a ten year old, Oh I don't know about this,
• 57:31
  no, yeah, yeah, So he thinks that we can be friends of
• 57:35
  everybody now because even he hates himself. And then Wigham says jump and he
• 57:38
  does, and I was like, oh, what the hell? Like that
• 57:43
  joke worked when it was Hermie starting to commit suicide in Futurama, and I
• 57:50
  believe it's better, that says, do a flip, that's funny. But
• 57:52
  they had the chief of police say to a ten year old jumb who said
• 57:55
  that it's like that doesn't didn't work for me. La Boot tries to catch
• 58:00
  him, Note drops him, and Grandpa makes fun of him again. When
• 58:02
  the cut to Bart who was in hospital, he needs some peace in quiet,
• 58:06
  and then we hear the crowd chatting and then he sucks still outside the
• 58:07
  window. I was like, it's just it's not funny anymore, because it's
• 58:10
  like, why they're still going with this. It just seems silly. Margin
• 58:14
  goes out. She yells at them. Then he's got murder novels, which
• 58:15
  Stephen King refers to us, what good scary, fust scary good fun,
• 58:20
  scary good fun. Stephen kingkindors is. He points at the sign that says
• 58:25
  she thought it was just a catchphrase whatever the meanest tan in Spring and USA.
• 58:30
  So it says, yeah, but now she realized it's the truth,
• 58:32
  and Moe brings up that, you know, maybe we can play a game
• 58:35
  over and over again. I did like this back and forth. Are you
• 58:37
  sure I had difficulty envisioning it? Let me get this straight. You want
• 58:44
  our boys to play a fake rematch against Springfield so your son can make the
• 58:47
  catch he missed and feel better about himself. Exactly. I guess I could.
• 58:52
  If you pretend to be my fiance when my mother comes to visit,
• 58:55
  Okay, if you pretend to be our chauffeur at my high school, fine,
• 59:00
  fine, if you pretend to be a ghost in an old amusement park
• 59:02
  I'm trying to buy. We should stop now. Yeah, and Lisa tricks
• 59:07
  the commentator into re commentating, Yeah, commentating over again. Yeah, by
• 59:13
  what's what's the brand of sage link sausage? But it's dance Oh yeah,
• 59:16
  okay, yeah, I don't know what the actual brand is. But the
• 59:20
  thing is, though I sometimes watch all footy games. What they do now
• 59:22
  is they get players or whatever to commentate the games that have already happened.
• 59:25
  And I'm like, how can you genuinely commentate a game when you already know
• 59:29
  the result. It's like, how can you? Just everything feels like fake
• 59:31
  excitement. It's like they're not doing like an audio commentary. They're actually commentated
• 59:37
  like the game they're watching for the first time. And I'm like, but
• 59:38
  you know who wins this? It's just seemed weird. It's like, what's
• 59:42
  gonna happen next? And I was like, we all know what happens next.
• 59:45
  You can only win do an audio commentary. It's like, well,
• 59:46
  that's good play by someone. So they are always good at this. Yeah,
• 59:50
  but they want to actually like commentate like they're in real time. It's
• 59:52
  just it's a bizarre concept that mends weird and I don't like it. Margin
• 59:57
  Homer and then breaking into the love Joy's house, this whole thing could have
• 1:00:00
  a story, you know, like it didn't need to be tied it's it's
• 1:00:02
  ourn episode. I mean, did they be tied in with this one?
• 1:00:05
  Yeah? It could have been a sort of semi singal to Grandpa, this
• 1:00:07
  is sexual anequacy or something like exactly, yeah, Homer, is it the
• 1:00:10
  Pink Panther music? What's what's No, that's just like general kind of suspense
• 1:00:15
  suspense music. Okay, But did love Joys get home? You put on
• 1:00:20
  the Michael Bolton sayday, I'll get the edible vestments. Oh my god,
• 1:00:25
  how dare you break into our house to file our bed and smash our family
• 1:00:29
  photos with your foot? Well, excuse me for being a powerful yet careless
• 1:00:34
  lover, we lovejoy. Our marriage needs this bad Our marriage needs it more.
• 1:00:39
  Well, I am reminded of the story of wise King Solomon, you
• 1:00:46
  would be. But then they decide they're going to cut the bed in helf,
• 1:00:51
  They're going to share the mattress, and I was just like, I
• 1:00:52
  don't think this works in any form. No, it just I feel like
• 1:00:55
  they did this just so they can make the joke about the creel Chase sandwich
• 1:01:00
  much yeah, which turns home, are on the way home and they decide
• 1:01:02
  to have sex behind the billboard, just like their honeymoon was it or something?
• 1:01:07
  I don't know, but that the same bummers there. Then he calls
• 1:01:08
  him fat. Anyway, it's now time for the fake game, and they
• 1:01:12
  made the excuse of they dusted the plate with a non regulation brush. Millhouse
• 1:01:15
  almost spoils it then, but just keeps dropping the catchers just doesn't doesn't work,
• 1:01:19
  but it's another try. He hit it by excellent accident, not by
• 1:01:22
  design. As the commodator says, it's deja vous all over again, which
• 1:01:24
  I remember, I'm trying to remember the first time I heard that. But
• 1:01:28
  it was done as a joke because deja who is already all over again.
• 1:01:32
  But now it's sort of become a phrase that people actually used, is it
• 1:01:37
  Okay? I don't think I've ever heard it before. I'm trying to remember
• 1:01:40
  a first hurt. It might have been in Scream. I found like,
• 1:01:44
  is that the second time Scream has been mentioned? Yeah, West Craven,
• 1:01:46
  Yeah, I want to watch the new I haven't watched a new one yet.
• 1:01:50
  It's in my list. I experienced deja vu at the Matchbox twenty concept.
• 1:01:55
  I I've experienced like three or four times, not the last month.
• 1:01:59
  It is so weird. It really is. Now. Yeah, I'm not
• 1:02:02
  a big believer in the paranormal or anything like that, but at the same
• 1:02:06
  time, I can't wholly discount it because I've had so many deja vu incidents
• 1:02:08
  in my life. And it's like, I was like, I've seen you
• 1:02:12
  walk down and you were holding that and I told nick Nicko was like,
• 1:02:15
  it's not a thing, and I was like, but it is. I've
• 1:02:19
  been here and it's only for a split second. Ye. Something was like,
• 1:02:22
  that's happened, and you feel it, Yeah, oh that's glitch and
• 1:02:28
  the matrix stuff, and it makes it starts to make you think about it.
• 1:02:30
  I looked around. I was like, what, Yeah, you start
• 1:02:32
  going all god quantum mechanics or you know five D you know universes, and
• 1:02:38
  yeah, bizarre man, bizarre. But it's basically it's Barkkeets sucking up again.
• 1:02:44
  Eventually he catches the ball when it's sunrise, isn't it very How many
• 1:02:49
  times are they like, seventy eight times? Seventy eighth time? Yeah,
• 1:02:51
  that's gonna be one of my two of your questions actually. But then we
• 1:02:53
  cut to the future and Bart is sort of bragging about how it did this,
• 1:02:58
  and Meal has comes clean, bar stunts crying again. Millhouse says,
• 1:03:00
  no, I was just lying that time, and Barsh's a bit of a
• 1:03:02
  jerk, and then Homer and Marge at the ghost, which we discussed earlier.
• 1:03:06
  That's the end of the episode. It is indeed the end of the
• 1:03:07
  episode. So I do I do think like there was plenty there that they
• 1:03:10
  could have run with. I think you take out thirty percent of the meanness
• 1:03:15
  the coolness of this, it probably would have worked better. I just think
• 1:03:19
  it just the vibe of it was just so hard to sort of get behind,
• 1:03:21
  or if you're going to bring in that cruelness which I think actually you
• 1:03:23
  might need because if you're going to make the point about how easily we turn
• 1:03:29
  on our heroes when they fuck up, and we do, Yeah, who's
• 1:03:32
  a hero that you've turned on? For me? It's just footy players usually,
• 1:03:36
  Oh, it's usually footy players. It's very sporting. I think I
• 1:03:38
  think we tend to do it with sport more ball, though you also see
• 1:03:43
  I mean, if you're talking about quote unquote the arch it's usually an actress
• 1:03:47
  or a singer, and it's usually a female performer that it happens to.
• 1:03:52
  Everyone went after Anne Hathaway for a while. Yeah, people turned on Jennifer
• 1:03:55
  Lawrence for a while. Well, Britney Spears is probably one of the best
• 1:04:00
  example they turn on an example body, Yeah, Lindsay Loewen. There's very
• 1:04:03
  few people who have been termed Tom Hanks probably one who's just managed to survive
• 1:04:05
  everything. Rob Williams survived everything. Yeah, oh no, but for a
• 1:04:09
  good long while there. You know, people like look, I was among
• 1:04:15
  them, probably Wims. You're indisputably funny. You're making a lot of shit
• 1:04:19
  movies. You know you're or you'll you really want people to like you,
• 1:04:24
  don't you row and you're making any deeds, which is unfortunate part. And
• 1:04:28
  yeah, then when you look back and I say, oh Jesus Christ,
• 1:04:30
  we were Dick's. Yeah, yeah, you're right about Tom Hanks. But
• 1:04:32
  even then you've got a lot of conspiracy theorists who are really trying to say,
• 1:04:36
  you know, Tom Hanks was in he went to Epstein's private seat children.
• 1:04:42
  Yeah, yeah, he drinks the blood of children. And like you're
• 1:04:45
  going to the most not obvious target, but the most sort of unlikely target.
• 1:04:51
  Mister Rogers is doing it. Yeah, it's just like because people just
• 1:04:56
  know I could be this good, So yeah, it happens. I mean
• 1:05:00
  in Australia we call it the tall Poppy syndrome. To some degree, it's
• 1:05:03
  Australia in general. Yeah, what do we learn, Bomber, What do
• 1:05:08
  you learn from the episode of Davis? What I learn from this episode that
• 1:05:11
  before that poor old baseball incident, Eleanor Roosevelt quite the hotty. I learned
• 1:05:16
  that never have photo frames around the bed, especially when you're a powerful lover,
• 1:05:20
  powerful lover. That's the only thing Hover seems to have going for him
• 1:05:25
  is that he seems to be good in the sack. Go for the gusta.
• 1:05:28
  Yeah, did he say careless but powerful? Careless but powerful? Yes,
• 1:05:30
  strap yourself in and fill the g's. From day forward, your name
• 1:05:34
  will be all right. It is time for the New Name Championship. It
• 1:05:39
  has returned for season eighteen. The current leader board stands at this mister Davis
• 1:05:44
  in first position. We have, of course, our man Philip Jay Hawkins
• 1:05:46
  in twenty three points, Kyle muldoon on sixteen, and Luck McKay on thirteen.
• 1:05:50
  I'm pretty sure that Philip J. Has been sitting through the last few
• 1:05:54
  episodes going when can we get to the fireworks factory? And by which I
• 1:05:57
  mean my inevitable victory? Yes, maybe let's find out what happens this way.
• 1:06:01
  Nothing on earth, nothing in life, is inevitable. But having said
• 1:06:04
  that, let's see if you get three points this time, one point goes
• 1:06:09
  to enemy of the plate. That is clever Kyle. He's now in seventeen
• 1:06:14
  points and he's six behind the Philip J. Hawkins. Keep it up,
• 1:06:16
  clever Carl, There's still more points to be had. Let's see he wins
• 1:06:18
  the next one. By the way, a lot of good names for this
• 1:06:21
  episode. I gave Dando three alternatives just in case, because sometimes double up
• 1:06:27
  because you don't know that's the thing we do, well I do. Sometimes
• 1:06:30
  it's like Philip Jay Hawkins can't get one, two and three votes with staffs,
• 1:06:33
  but he's so good. Yeah, so we do a blind so I
• 1:06:38
  had to throw in a few all turns just in case, and we had
• 1:06:40
  a lot to choose from this time around. Yeah, two points go to
• 1:06:43
  the unnatural That is a newbie newby j Jack Gurdham. Jake, did you
• 1:06:49
  say jet jet or TJ E double T jet jet? Yeah, let's call
• 1:06:54
  it good jet jet. Yeah, we go for two points. Well done.
• 1:06:57
  Jet's been around for a one Yeah, of course, yes, it
• 1:06:59
  was the first time little board for this season though. Correct. Yeah,
• 1:07:01
  but I mean I'm always I remember seeing that name around going having this exact
• 1:07:04
  same just got dajavu. Interesting spelling. So two points to you. Who's
• 1:07:10
  going to get the three though, let's see, let's find out. Three
• 1:07:13
  points go to Lundable it is Jay, Austin Williams, j Philip, it
• 1:07:24
  is Justin Williams. Well so phil Jaden any points this week. So Justin
• 1:07:27
  Williams with the three points, which puts Justin now on nine points. So
• 1:07:30
  he's now outright fourth position. Well done, justin, it's still a bit
• 1:07:33
  of a rad There's still four more weeks to go. There's twenty two episodes
• 1:07:36
  this season. That was season so nineteen twenty year four episodes left, which
• 1:07:41
  means there was plenty of points to be had. And Kyle Weldoon, you're
• 1:07:45
  only six points behind. So you guys still do this, Kyl, you
• 1:07:48
  can do it. You're very clever, clever, you can do it.
• 1:07:54
  Bail is here alright, Mailbey questions, mister Davis will pick a couple because
• 1:07:58
  we're running little bit long on time. I'm here. Uh well, this
• 1:08:00
  one's from Harrison mcaul. Is this the worst episode of the Simpsons in brackets?
• 1:08:03
  Yes, and Andrew JP says, even worse the Guy Davis's favorite episode,
• 1:08:06
  even worse than Guy Davis's favorite episode Simpsons Safari. And then Harrison said
• 1:08:11
  facts. So therese are a lot so much questions as statements. I was
• 1:08:15
  like, we have a lot of questions. Oh no, it's just a
• 1:08:17
  conversation between Harrison and sorry to butt in guys. Andrew JP says, what's
• 1:08:23
  your favorite sports redemption story? Athlete who failed in the big game? It
• 1:08:26
  recovered and became stronger. See what about football inside the episode football quite thou
• 1:08:31
  this podcast? But do you remember in two thousand and seven when Long won
• 1:08:34
  that drought baking, drought breaking premiership? Do I stevj was about to get
• 1:08:39
  delisted for being a rascal off the field correct and ended up winning the best
• 1:08:43
  on field in the Grand Finals. You know, Yeah, they love a
• 1:08:45
  good redemption story in the a I don't they the like you know, what's
• 1:08:48
  his name, Dustin Martin. At one point he was threatened to stab a
• 1:08:50
  waitress with chop sticks and then he's like the greatest player of all not a
• 1:08:57
  role model, kids, but still r DJ for you right, Oh yeah,
• 1:09:00
  absolutely one of the great comeback stories. Yeah, yeah, that would
• 1:09:04
  be the ultimate comeback story, would it not. It really is, And
• 1:09:06
  it's sort of a comebacks iron man. It's a comeback story with multiple levels
• 1:09:11
  as well, because speaking people along for the ride with him as well down
• 1:09:14
  the door he tried with Mel Gibson. Everyone's like, mel Gibson helped me
• 1:09:19
  come back. So it's like he's paying it back and paying it for I'd
• 1:09:24
  like to he had the balls to just do it anyway. You didn't care
• 1:09:25
  about whether people would care that he was like talking up mel Gibson. He's
• 1:09:28
  like, this motherfucker helps me. I'm going to try and help him.
• 1:09:30
  Absolutely, I'm not sure if this actually applies, Andrew JP. It's not
• 1:09:34
  really so much a redemption story, but it's a good underdog story, one
• 1:09:38
  that I really dig going way back into the archives back to nineteen seventy.
• 1:09:42
  But it was the AFL then VFL Grand Final. I think Carlton was behind,
• 1:09:47
  and they brought on this player who wasn't wasn't really much of a star
• 1:09:51
  his a guy named Ted Hopkins. He came on in the final court and
• 1:09:54
  he just fucking blitzed it. He kicked like four goals or something, and
• 1:09:58
  he basically just turned the whole game around. I remember reading that one as
• 1:10:00
  a kids like it Ched Hopkins, you selling married? So yeah, I'm
• 1:10:09
  a sucker for that kind of story. But yeah, yeah, certainly in
• 1:10:12
  non sporting arenas. Yeah, oh DJ, what a redemption yet? One
• 1:10:17
  percent? One more question here before we go this one here, Andrew Andrew
• 1:10:23
