  Speaker 2: It's only very special.

  Speaker 3: It's been a week, it's been sent a week ago.

  Speaker 3: It should be working. So paypalers just canceled it. Yeah, nother,
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: I' get back to my email. So it was just

  Speaker 3: We got an email Greg Taylor. His name was it's
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: name and shame yes, and he said that it obviously

  Speaker 3: this meeting and he's trying to help me set up

  Speaker 3: And I was like, oh, it sounds like you know
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: what you're talking about.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: So we're doing all that.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: And about ten minutes after we finished this meeting last
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Saturday morning, I get a code a notification on my
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: phone saying your Facebook account has been compromised. We have
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: shut it down and you need to log back in
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: to confirm your identity blah blah blah blah blah. And
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: I was like, oh, oh boy, this again, this old trick.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Hey.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: So I went in there, clipped on that, fixed up all,
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: logged back and changed my past word, changed my email
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: for my account.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Just to cover all bases.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: And yes, it turns out that they were trying to
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: hack our Facebook page.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Apparently.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: I spoke to a Facebook person that sent me the
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: log of what happened. They had logged into my account,
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: logged into the page, removed myself as an admin, and
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: had created their ad them themselves an admin, and they
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: were trying to change the name of the page. And
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: that's when Facebook went this doesn't seem right, shut it down,
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: and thankfully Facebook worked.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: In our favorite They were trying to scoop up our
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: sweet sweet followers and all their sweet sweet data.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: But stupid me, I look back now, I go, of
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: course this was fake.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Well here's the thing, I too, am aware of Chelsea Handl.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't say I was a bigger fan, but and
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: I wasn't. I knew of dear Chelsea but I hadn't
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: really watched a whole lot of it or listened to
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: a whole bunch of it. So on Friday night, I
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: go over to Lose Places. By the way, I mentioned
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: this to Louse looking out, Wow, chelseams the big deals. Look
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: at me like, that's right, honey man, it's in the
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: big dam. It's funny for you told me this.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: And then when I thought I'm not going up to
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: break it to him and it's going to be so shadowy,
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: hell aloise this.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: But I went over to see lou on Friday night
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: and yeah, she was so this happening. And then we're
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: next week if you watch any of the show, and like,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: you know what, I was planning to do it this weekend,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Let's do it now. We put on a couple of
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: episodes on YouTube and we're looking at the thumb that
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: was like Chelsea talks to Tony Collette aimed Australian actress
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: started the sixth Sense and Yours Wedding, talks to Kevin Hart,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: talks to mel Robbins, who's got like one of the
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: most popular podcasts in the world. All these familiar faces,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: not even familiar face, it's famous faces, big names. I'm
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: not trying to downgrade us at all when I say this,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: but it's like being a realist. Why then would she
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: have two schmucks from Geelong? Why ass yeah, it at either.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: And I was saying, okay, well, look she's on the
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: iHeartRadio platform. We're on Spooker, which is iHeartRadio. Jason Speaker
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: is own my iHeart. Okay, so look they're maybe doing
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: some kind of collaboration or something like that. Apparently that's
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: what the kids are into these days. But I messaged
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: you and said, it's weird, right are we on? This?
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Is this on the up and up?
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: And my theory was I'll just do this pre show
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: meeting and get a feel for things and if it's
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: not legit, then I'll know by then. Little did I
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: know that the Zoom that I clicked on was this
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: carbon copy of Zoom. That's not the real Zoom. It
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: is a program that gives them access to your computer.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: But this gentleman, and he's no team of Romanian hacker
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: buddies or whatever, went all out. I mean, everything looked
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: and sounded pretty legit.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: Well what got me was I thought, well, it's a
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Gmail account, it doesn't seem very riggi ditch. And we've
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: since done research and she's put out a thing on
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: Instagram like a year ago saying, hey, you get a
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: thing from Gmail. You know it's fake for this Gmail.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: And I'm like, but did Chelsea Chelsea please your Facebook page?
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: So your podcast page on Apple says the contact is
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: did Chelsea at gmail dot com.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: So you can understand why.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: I saw that and went, oh, well with her main
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: shows Gmail dot com. And I thought, you think they'd
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: contact me from the Dear Chelsea anyway, because it was
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: they content contacted me from Dear Chelsea Management pod management
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: at GM addict come. I thought maybe it's just the
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: one they used just to organize guests.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Possibly I fell for it, and absolute it's understood that okay,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: because we've got to have page. So thank you Matter,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Thank you Matter. You actually did your job on your
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: you saved our page. Thanks buddy man. That would have
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: been devastating. Oh absolutely, But yeah, we were also, I think
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: on the Saturday morning, after suspicion started to be raised
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: a little bit of Google, it's like, great, Taylor Chelsea Handler,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: nothing's coming up, he's got yeah, he's got nothing on
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: his there's no LinkedIn page, nothing like that, which you
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: would assume. I went into Instagram and shoot top t
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Chelsea scam. Well, that's true. We should have done that.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: We should done that first, and once you did that,
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: you go ah.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: But I went into Instagram and sent a DM to
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: this Wymond Catherine, who is the producer and co host.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: No responses because inundata with all this stuff, it was
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: like another couple of suckers. But a lesson learned and
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: we will never be speaking to anyone ever again except ourselves.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: It could work out well though, because if she's a
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: fan of the Simpsons, this co host, maybe that we've
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: actually opened a door there where she goes.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: You know, it's actually a pretty good idea. Possibly, but
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: she took it. I mean they're gonna have something, did Chelsea.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: But it could open some sort of door for it. No,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: but we could be ony. They still have those low
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: rent like chat shows like Ricky Lake or Maury or
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: something like that. I hope so great, you are not
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: going to be on Did Chelsea start throwing chairs?
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: But anyway, so that's what happened. That's what happened to
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: us this week. It's been an eventful a couple of
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: weeks here at Fourth Finger Discount, but this week we
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: are talking about Thursdays with Abe from the season twenty one.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: So this is one of those episodes for me right
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: where I'm watching it and I'm not quite getting what's
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: going on here, because they tend to do this more
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: in modern Simpsons than classic Simpsons, and where they will
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: do a parody of something, but they won't just do
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: a specific scene or like a parody throughout the story.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: The entire episode story is Yeah, and if you and
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: for me as a viewer i'm watching it, I don't
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: stand out as much as to me when I say
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: I watched a classic episode of the Simpsons and then
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: something feels a little bit often you go, that's something
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: I'm going to look up what they're doing. When the
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: whole episode is that, I don't feel as inclined to go,
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: this must be something I just watched this going this
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: just feels like a random Simpson story because I didn't
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: know the guest star who came into the guy who
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: actually wrote what was the.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Actual Okay, the book is called Tuesday Tuesday with Murray.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, now, once I looked up the source material, actually,
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: you know what they actually did a pretty good job
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: parroting this story, right, Yeah, is it as big a Well?
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: Apparently the TV film was a huge success. It was
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: on the Oprah Winfrey Hour or opraenh Woinfrey Network or
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: something like that, and it starred Hanka Zarre who played
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: who voiced the Marshall guy on this. Yeah, so he's
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: sort of reprising his role in that regard. So I
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: didn't mind all that, but still I don't think that
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: as a view you are if you don't know that
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: the source and Chilly exists, You're going, what the hell
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: is going on?
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: You're also going, what's the fucking point? Yeah? Well I
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: guess it was sort of like because Hankazari was on it. Yeah,
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: well that's the thing. I mean, this either works as
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: a terrific again using the word meta, but it works
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: as a meta gag. But you can you can be
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: a little too meta, and that's what that was in
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: this case. I found this incredibly frustrating.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: I found certain elements of a frustrating I watched this
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: thinking I'll finished in the second, but I thought a
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: lot of it was very family guy esk in and delivery.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: But I'll explain why A minute you continue.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: We often talk on the show about, you know, balancing
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: emotion and humor or the foundation. You've got to have
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: a strong story or even a theme as a foundation
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: for an episode. Otherwise it's just a bunch of stuff
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: that happens. And sometimes a bunch of stuff that happens
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: is fine if the gags are good. The gags and
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: this are not good, and most of them are kind
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: of piss poor. But what's really the problem here is
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: that there there is no sort of strong foundation. You
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: have built a house of straw with this episode. I mean, yeah, oh,
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: we're taking the Mickey out of house, out of Tuesdays
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: with Maury, which is a you know, quite the phenomenon
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: back in the it's more of a back in the
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: late nineties. It was more than a decade old by
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: this point. That's the other thing. Yeah, I mean, it
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: came out in nineteen ninety seven, and addedly it was
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: on the on the bestseller list for a while. It
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: was a talking point for quite some time.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: But still, I know they parody old stuff in early
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: Simpsons as well, from like the seventies and whatnot, but
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: I it feels like the stuff they're parodying was like,
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: you know, cornerstones and pop culture.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: That stuff had had a long time to seep into
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: the culture and become Indiana Jones.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: I always go to home, rolling down the staircase, like
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: those kind of visuals. You go, that's Indiana Joe.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't want to call Tuesdays with Maria flash
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: in the pan. But yeah, it hadn't happened. It hadn't happened.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: I've never heard of it. Yeah. So, but the thing
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: of it is, there's the kernel of a really solid
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: idea in here. And this is what I was thinking about,
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: because I was like, how would I how would I
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: fix this episode? And the thing of it is, it's
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: about the value of stories. Sometimes they have sentimental value,
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: emotional value, philosophical value, stuff that actually means something that
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: you can actually derive something from. And sometimes they have
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: financial value. And so this is this would be a
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: really interesting sort of clash of those two. Homer is
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: so sick of hearing and the rest of the Simpsons
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: family are so sick of hearing Grandpa's stories. Without realizing
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: there's little bits of gold all throughout. You've got to
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: sift through a lot of dirt. You're like a fucking
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: miner in the Yukon back in the eighting. I just like,
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: oh my god, all is dirt, Yeah, gold nugget occasionally that's.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: Where Dan to a sovereign hill and Balarat trying to
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: find a little bit of gold.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Very much the case and there. But you will go
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: through metric tons of dirt to get a little bit
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: of goal. But that goal is priceless. Also, there was
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: the scheme of him trying to kill him in the end.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Well there's that. The webside of that.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: I don't explain what the story of Tuesdays with Lauria.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: So it's a guy who actually knew he was going
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: to be passing away, is getting his stories out before
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: he passed away.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: You've got it. You've got a reporter who studied under
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: this professor college sort of his mentor, but someone he
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: respected and admired. And when he went to revisit this professor,
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: I think later in life, the professor had a debilitating disease.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Als I believe it was knew was his days were numbered,
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: and these guys just sort of sat back talked to
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: one another. But yeah, Maury a professor, now, yeah, was
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: essentially sort of sharing the wisdom of his life with
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: this guy, and this guy realized, this guy's got a
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: lot to say. I should really be listening. I should
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: really take this on board. And hey, I should also
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: really write it down and turn it into a book
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: that will become a best sell. So did the book
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: come out after Maury passed away? That's a very good question. Well,
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: let me give you the synopsis. As per Wikipedia, author
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Mitch Album is a successful sports columnist. In nineteen ninety five,
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: he contacts his former sociology pressor, professor Maury Schwartz after
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: seeing him on nightline, afflicted with als.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: When did the book come out? Because he passed away
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: in November fourth, ninety five. Maurray Schwartz did well.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: The publication date was nineteen ninety seven. Okay, so he
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: pass away before the come out.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Album has prompted to visit Schworts in Massachusetts. Work and
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: whincidental newspaper strike allows him to visit every Tuesday. The
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: book is divided into fourteen days, each one containing one
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: of Album's visits to Schwartz. Each visit includes lectures from
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Mariy on life experiences, with flashbacks and references to current events.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Schwartz's final Days. Ultimately, I spent giving album his final
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: lesson of life. So you know, it's one of those
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: books where it's like Chicken Soup of the Soul or
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: you know, everybody should know this kind of stuff, but
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: it's if you're hearing it from someone who has lived
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: a full life and who realizes that at the end
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: of it's like, this is stuff that has meant something
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: to me. It could mean something to you as well.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: I'd like to share it with you and hopefully you
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: can take this lesson moving forward. I think that's really important.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: I think it's really really valuable. And with that, which
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: sounds syning cool, yeah, you can monetize that as well.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: So what you've got in this episode is the clash
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: of someone who is willing to listen to these stories
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: that are valuable, that have meaning, and is just being
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: wholly cynical that it is like, yeah, there's gold in
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: them nails, there's sentimental gold is bad. There's emotional goal
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: that Homer could use, that the family could use, and
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: there's just financial goal that what's his name is it,
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Mitch Marshall Marshall, sorry not Mitch is deriving it from
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: I think that's a really good idea for a story.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: You know, this guy, this guy Marshall is providing Abe
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: with the he's providing Grandpa with the attention, yeah, purpose
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: and the attention that he craves. But also it's like, yeah,
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: these stories might be dull and rambling or whatever, but
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: there could be something in them that's worth something to you.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: But he's just going to run down the page and like,
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: now we've got a book deal. So I don't know.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: I just thought that's a that's a solid idea, and
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: you can it would I think would give the story
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: real heart. Now I think they might be trying to
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: do that in this, but I don't think they do
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: it all that well. Then also, you just get a
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: lot of not very good gags as well.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: On top of now, I just thought a lot of
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: it was just very When I was mentioning before the
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: family guy is delivery, so there was a lot of
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: very short scenes. So not necessarily The Simpsons doesn'tcessarily have
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: longer scenes all the time, but it felt like you
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: can get more depth to the story in the motion
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: if the scene's more drawn out. This one just felt like, hey,
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: it's Homer doing something silly for thirty seconds. Now it's
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: Millhouse and Bart doing something silly for top twelve seconds.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: It was just like short, sharp and there's a lot
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: of cutaway gags. You think that's bad, you think that's bad.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: It's kind of felt like that kind of moment throughout this.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: I should probably watch some more Family Goes because I
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: don't know if they've ever done you think that's bad
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: on there. We've really just taken that from South Park.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: They say, I'm pretty sure that.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: It's like news happened, and then it cuts away that
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: it felt like there was a lot of cutaways in
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: this one here.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: Sure. So the b plot here is that they've got
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: Larry the.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: Lamb, which is the classroom doll real thing, right, So
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: obviously you've never had a kid at school. I never
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: experienced this myself. I don't think. I think I remember
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: taking a baby home, but like a doll home maybe once.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: But the thing is Elliott in prep two years ago.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: I can't remember what kind of stuff animal it was.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: It was like a bunny, I think. But they have
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: a book and each kid takes their turn each week,
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: take it home for a week and ago have experiences,
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: take photos with the doll, and it's quite funny in
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: the sense that I'm watching this going it's true the well,
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: but Ali didn't take bat stance on it, but it
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: was the kids really had this emotional connection to this,
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: to this toy, and as apparent you' watching it going,
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: I'm going to make sure my kids experiences with this
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: fucking stuff animal are going to be better than what's
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: come previous. In this book, it's like you're trying to
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: one up the previous parents. It's so bizarre, but it
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: is weird.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: But then, like you know, some kids, like I took
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: mine to Luna Park and it's like a photo of
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: the doll on the roller coaster and stuff like that.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: You like, it's weird, but like I can kind of
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: see them given this sense of responsibility as well. I
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: get the idea responsibility by the way unified a theory
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: of forefinger discount kicks in because we were actually going
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: to record this today as Wednesday is Dan I mentioned
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: we were going to record this episode yesterday, Tuesday, whatever
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: episode we were recording that day. Follow that Egg from
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: South Park, which is all about taking home an egg
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: and recaring for it for a week. Responsibility the same thing.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: It is literally the same thing sentence did it but
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: maybe sound parked I did it first? Yeah, yeah that.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: I like the idea of, you know, sort of fostering
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: a sense of responsibility in children and doing a relatively
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: safe way with stuffed animal. Maybe lift so on egg
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: because that's going to get everywhere when you break it.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: It also sounds to me it could create a bit
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: of an unhealthy dynamic. Ands like I'm going to show
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: this stuff land the best time. It's like, well, you're
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: creating a one upping kind of environment. What happens? Yeah,
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: which could be could set a bad present for the future.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: I took my kids to you know, Italy for the summer.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: When we went down to the coast.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: Well, I remember I spoke to the teacher about it
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: and I said, so, what's what's the end game? What's
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: the end game? She goes, well, the a positive that
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: comes from it is that kids who wouldn't whose parents
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: might not normally take them out to do things, would
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: actually take them out to do things. And I said,
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: but what happens if the parents are still so fucking
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: lazy they don't do something, The kid feels like terrible
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: because they don't have experiences, just like because.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Their chapter, their chapter in the Larry Book of Shit. Aus. Yeah,
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: She's like, well that does happen too, I might, so
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: should we be doing this? Good point? Yeah, But what
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: I didn't like.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: Though, there was a particular line in this episode here
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: where so Bart was playing tuger war with Larry of
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: the lamb with the dog, and Lisa takes it away,
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: say don't do that, and he says, why don't you
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: do this when I'm tormenting real animals?
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: I hated that line because Bart isn't a monster. Bart
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: wouldn't torment real animals, you know what I mean. The
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: Bart of old was ashievas. You know, he was an
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: underachiever and proud of it, but he wasn't a monster.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: And there's an episode Bart the Mother where Nelson gets
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: a B B gun and Bart was gonna have a
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: shot with it, and Nelson says, shoot that bird, and
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: instead of shooting the bird, he points the gun away,
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: shoots it, but actually kills the bird because he's got
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: a crooked sight, right, And Bart feels horrible. He tries
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: to look after the eggs of the bird. YadA, YadA, YadA.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: Bart is not a bad person. No, he just does
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: naughty things as a way of like a I don't know,
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: a mask for his inability to learn at school, and
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: he struggles at school. Things like this where bart Is
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: now become a kid who's just willing to torment real animals.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: I didn't like it at all. I get where you're
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: coming from.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: You know, it's just a cartoon, but that's that's not
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: who Bart is.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: I took that lie with the grains of when you're
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: saying tormenting, I don't think he's torturing or anything like that.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: I think he's probably just teasing an animal, which you
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: know sometimes that can involve, like you know, dangling your
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: keys in front of the dog.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: I think it's because Larry's lamb was being ripped tormented.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: It felt like the loarder of the lamb. Why don't
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: you do this when I'm doing this to real animals.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, I get, that's just it does feel
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: like a cheap one. But that old Larry the Lamb
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: sort of subplot as well b plot, it was just garbage. Well,
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: it just felt very pointless, pointless. It had no time
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: to the a plot at all. Yeah, it was just
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: again a bunch of stuff that happened. And also, yeah,
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: it just had pisspore character sort of development or whatever,
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: because I didn't really many a payoff at all either.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: I guess it was Bart learning to appreciate. But it's like,
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: what did he did? He? Even?
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: I think he used Larry the lamb as a way
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: to escape the cats in the sewer. And then you
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: had Agnes to kick coming back saying yeah, give him
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: my number, I'll show him a thing or two.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: And what is with these Agnes jokes? Is what I
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: was asking. Yeah, but I think there was one bit yeah,
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: where I've written down him. Don't make Lisa all grown
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: up in her attitudes and then have her pushing a
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: toy lamb in a pram exact same thing.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: My note, I'm like, can you please work out is
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: Lisa an eight year old girl or an intelligent eight
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: year old who's above this? You can't have her being
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: all political and caring about global warming then have her
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: pushing a stuffed animal in a pram down the street.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: And she also, why push a put to the jazz hole?
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: What kind of subgenre of jazz do you like? I'm
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: like you is she eight year old? Pushing a doll
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: around in a pram? Or she an eight year old
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: that appreciates subgenre of jazz, And.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: Is she pushing a doll in a pram solely so
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: of the pram can go out of control and run
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: into traffic. I want to no, I do want to
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: diss this episode. This was lazy hours writing. I didn't
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: I didn't like this episode at all. In fact, the
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: only episode I just like more than one. I'm going
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: to be talking about next time, next episode Once upon
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: a Time in Springfield. You didn't like that? Fucking hated it? Why? Terrible? Really? Yes,
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: I'm still trying to work out why. But I was like,
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: what is the whole what's the point of this nonsense?
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: You are probably the only Simpsons fan in the world
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: that doesn't like that episode.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: Wow, we it's considered like the better like modern day episode.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: It's fine. I got this this headline from an old
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: newspaper that I think has been parted through the Davis
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: family because a few of them had us on our fridge.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: It's like it's Davis against the world, or it's Davis
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: versus the world. I think it was like sports thing,
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, you better have some reasons why you
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: didn't like You can't just say I don't know why,
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: I just didn't like it. Well, we'll call it other
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: episodes and then I'll think about it. But no, I just.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: When did you watch it this morning? Is it because
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: you finished from the gym and you're rushed and you're
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: in a bit of a.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: No, Well maybe that's it. I need get to go
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: to the gym this morning because I had to watch
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: that episode watched yesterday because I had a bunch of
• 21:55

  Speaker 2: moas continually looking for love or connection anywhere you can
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: find it. Slime move, do you get my letters? Yeah?
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: That one's all right. I'm a talking about neglected Grandpa
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: for ages and then he heeds me with super neglect.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: Thought that was pretty funny, and I guess the rambling
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: Homer's rambling story over the closing credits is again that's
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: the joke. But it did have a very nice payoff
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: at the end when it goes all the way through
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: the credits and go, hey, did I about the time
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: I created Greasy Films Shusha show.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was pretty good. I didn't mind the ramble
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: at the end. Yeah, it just did also feel like, hey,
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: Dan killed two minutes of time.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: Well yeah, Riff, Dan Riff.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: I didn't mind Homer's recycled bin in his head moment, silly,
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: but didn't mind it. The idea of the recycled bin sound,
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: I think that still exists anymore. I don't think when
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: you're to the recycle bin that you know the sound
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: when you empty the recycle bin.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: I don't think I've got a recycle bin in that again?
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: What do you mean on your computer?
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: All that?
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Sorry? Oh yeah, yeah, I don't think i've got it anymore,
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: or I don't think i'm here. It used to be
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: the sound of cleansing. Yeah. Oh yeah, you're crunching up papers.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah.
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: And I didn't mind the homer the bait and switch off.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: You think he's about job on the train, but he
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: jumps into the cafe. That's the kavikabooz.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: Next question, you there eating the paste?
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: All right, it's trivia time. My first question for you
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: is when they are at the Wet and Wacky World.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: When they're first walking in, there's two street signs.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: What are they? Oh god damn, because one is like
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: celepopod or something or street yeah yeah, and simple when
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: one's another like a fish or something like rust Dolphin
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: drive Dolphin drive. Yeah. Speaking of the very start, Marge
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: takes a lot of pictures. One is I think one
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: is of a Miami license plate. What is that license
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: plate number? Ah?
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: So I didn't even bother looking through this. I was
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: like I was going to put in the clipper.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: And here's why. What's the answer, Well, well, no, the
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: answer is m A B F O two. But this
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: is like an early example of second screen syndrome, which
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: you're aware. I'm sure you know. Shows are being written
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: and devised like we're never going to have anyone's full
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: attention anymore, so you've got to repeat the gags out
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: loud and keep reiterating the plot. Why does Marge so
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: I was, Oh, I took all these photos. Here's I'm
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: explaining this photo, this photo that just shows the photos.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: Just show me the photos. You don't have to have,
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Julie Capin is saying, because we're not looking at the screen.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: Here's one of my feet, here's one of so on something.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: It's like, it'll be a lot funny if I just
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: looked at him, but I'm not looking.
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: It's kind of like old episodes though, when they're going
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: through slides and Patty and some will show their slides
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: and this is us when we're in here, and this
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: is us what we're doing now.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: I think, Yeah, but that's the gag, is that these
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: pictures are so yeah, I know what you mean.
• 25:19

• 28:03
  Speaker 3: year she went, She was, oh, yeah, there's another one,
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: wasn't there. I went, I've seen that one as well.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: I'm like people just these movies are so successful. People
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: just go into it because it's Avatar. I think they
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: must be because I have no interest, no interest, And
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: I know I saw it come up the second one
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: on Disney Plus I think it was Disney Plus or
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: one of their streaming services, and I went, should I
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: watch this? London said it a terrible and Leond multons, yeah,
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: I didn't. I've never re watched the first one. And
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: had even thought about the first one since I watched
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: the first one, and I think I only went to
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: that first one because I wanted to experience everyone's talking
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: about the three D It looks fantastic. So this next,
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: these next two apparently have been released in three D.
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: I didn't know we still did three D films. Apparently
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: you can watch it in three D. Still, yeah, I
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: think so. But if it's not what you're not watching
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: it in three D? Is it any good?
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: I probably? Look I should know better than a bet
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: against James Cameron, who apparently keeps hitting them out of
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: the park. But I have no interest in the Navy, Pandora,
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: any of these other planets, or any of these other
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: species or races. I don't care.
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: It feels like the Matrix three. It's like, was there
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: a need for a Matrix three? You know?
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: There wasn't. I don't think there was.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: But anyway, they were the top three films at the
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: box office when this ad It guest starred Mitch Album
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: as himself who comes to the Old Folks Home and
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: if he is with the stories and whatnot, and was
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: written by Mitch Glazer and Don Payne and directed by
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: Mike Frank Polsino. So the episode kicks off with the
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: family arriving to Wet and Wacky World formerly JFK Naval Museum.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, we should just say not really.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: I don't think there was a board gag in this one.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: There were sort of like an opening. There was a
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: Wizard of shout, yeah, but it was sort of truncated credits,
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: and the couch gag was like it was called couchgag
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: chaos and it was one.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: I was like, I'm surprised until twenty one years to
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: do a pinbom machine, but I didn't remind it. Yeah,
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: big pinball fan here. But Homer is a fan of
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: this place because you get good parking. Despite the fact
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: that there's worst rise here than actual theme parks, less
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: fish and actional aquarium, you get good.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: Parks at this place.
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: Megan gets put in a clamshow stroller sealed for her
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: safety and Marje's we've already explained this filled up her
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: camera with photos already by walking into the park, so
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: she goes through them all, Oh, there's so.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: Many photo oops, but they already filled up my camera.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: And the parking lot parking lots Sea sign the tram,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: a license plate from Canada. A bird eating potato chips,
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: my feet walking that boy you got sick on the tram.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Grandpa talking to a mermaid hedge, the park rules in Spanish.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: A fat baby grandpa telling a story to a trailer hedge. Oops,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: I erased them all.
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: Seeing Marjor of this camera here kind of did take
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: me back to when my Nan first got her digital
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: camera and she would just take photos of everything and
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: just go, oh, I can't waste it on this. I'm like, Nan,
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: there's no such thing as wasting when it's digital camera. Yes,
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: so Nan, well, then just take photos of everything, fill
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: up her camera and then she would accidently delete photos.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: Good. I know it's great.
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: Is when Nan passed away, we went through a stuff
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: and I found her digital camera and I just found
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: all these photos that Nan had taken that I've never
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: seen before, and I was like looking at life through
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: her special because it's like, these are photos that Nan
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: thought this is worth a photo. And imagine getting their
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: carente mostly of her pets because their pets were her life,
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: and it's just nice sing.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: It was like she was here again. Absolutely yeah.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: But and Lisa go, well, Lisa says, let's go to
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: the Ultimate Sea Life Aquarium, but it quickly changes to
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: the Ultimate Sea Life Buffet, which I didn't know that's
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: a sign gag. But then takes clothes from the Lost
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: and Found because he does, because he's because he's a
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: wild and crazy kid. It just doesn't give her a toss.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: Grandpa is winging.
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: Then they have an announcement over the over the speaker
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: saying it's time for the rock a Quatic Roll Rolacia
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: whatever it is, and just a show that features slime
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: move the notho. This is an octopus. I haven't wants
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: to get there. He wants to get in the splash
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: because he's put on his bathing suit.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: He's ready for this.
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: Then they introduced slime mood the octopus, and I thought
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: this was done well in the sense of it does
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: put a spotlight on man we treat these animals like ship,
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: particularly in these water parks. It shows you can't do kill.
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: You can to kill a whale shows now because I
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: thought you could. I thought they stopped it. After that
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: that movie came out. What was the movie that came
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: out that was a Blackpool? Yeah, about the way they
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: killed the fish, killed the trainer or whatish blackfish.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: I think maybe it is that one.
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but it was like a real spotlight on we
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: need to not have these animals in captivity anymore.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: Well that's the I mean, the one that I've heard
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: about is that they will have dolphins in enclosed bases
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: and dolphins sort of unicated byala, which is you know,
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: they're sending it sounds and the sounds reburped the reab
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: of a wall going to come back to them. It's
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: basically gonna drive them insane. Yeah, so water park's not
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: a fan. I've never been a huge fan of water parks.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: They as SeaWorld.
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: In Australia we have sea World, but it's not nobody
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: to level of see what they have in America like
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: in San Diego and whatnot. But we the most we
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: have is all we have a dolphin show, don't we
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: see the dolphin shows. It's different than the pool is
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: different to the one at like Seawad and stuff like
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: in America. It's more like open where it's I feel
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: like if the dolphins are sending out their signals, it
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: wouldn't be bounced to because it's kind of shallow. It
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: might steal I'm not too sure, but we don't have
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: kill a whale shows.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: Like a good aquarium. Yeah, aquarium. I can't see how.
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: Fish wouldn't like to live in an aquarium. You're pretty
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: much safe from you're getting fed whenever you want, and
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: you haven't you got a kick ass thing part to
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: live in. Essentially correct. But at the show, and as
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: you're saying, was a big fan of the of the
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: slim move, I thought it was kind of a real
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: sad quarterback little bit later when they've just clearly just
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: got over Slimy and just dumped him in the drain.
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: Later on, but here you see the people tie his
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: legs down, so he's stuck there and he can't do anything.
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: He's cleaning the.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: He's cleaning the windows, and he's also you know, like
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: delivering the State of the Union as the president or
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: something like that.
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: Just don't ink they and stuff like that, Yeah, Grandpa.
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: Then overhears and he said for not to push that
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: they won for an old man complaining. Then a guy
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: who turns out to be Marshall Goldman comes to sit
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: next to him.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: Really weird line here.
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: He says, is this seat available? And he goes of
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: courses for a pretty girl like you, And I was like,
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: Grandpa's not a It's not an idiot. This guy doesn't
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: look like a girl. Why what is the point of
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: that line. It's just so bizarre. But he's shocked that
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: Marshall wants to hear his story.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: Tell me more more.
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So they're sitting on a chair, a themed chair
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: that's shaped like a shark. So he tells a story
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: about when he sat on a real shark, and he
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: was talking about how he's in the navy and they
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: were attacked by a heat seeking missile fired the day
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: before by then, which I thought was funny. Then they're
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: playing the guys's play possum, but sharks love possum, and
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: they realized that they just sit on the sharks. They
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: can't do nothing about it. They eventually train the sharks.
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: They have a message in their water. You think it's
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: s o West, but it's so sorry to bother you.
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: We'd really like to be rescued.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: Marshall.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: Godwin introduced himself as a human interest reporter and he says, what.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: It a newspaper that sounds going to die before I do?
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: Awd good that one. Yeah, you were't human interest, but
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: you know, just journalists in general. You were you got
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: yourself a journalist or a what.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: Was what was it is yours? Tarshal? I was mostly
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: generalis I would call myself a feature writer. Feature writer, yeah,
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: because a movie review was not a journalist? Are they?
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: But did you really? But you didn't go and interview people?
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: So yeah, that I guess that's journalism. Yeah it is, yeah,
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: just a sub form of what so is?
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: There?
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: Is it news journalism? But was there like a hierarchy
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: of like when you were working at the ADDY, was
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: it like the news journalists were up here? Then the
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: movie journalists will like here.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: I don't think there'snyone movie journalists.
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: Really or entertainment entertainment journalis Yeah, yeah, yeah, well they
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: they did. The news journalists look not look.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: Down on you. But did you get that? I never
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: regarded myself as like, I mean, when I was working
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: as a news journalist, what you did do for a
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: few years? But you told me that yeah, genuine news stories? Yeah,
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: yeah for the ADDY I did. Yeah, I didn't really,
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: I mean not that I didn't have an attitude for it,
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: but I think you've got to have a very specific
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: personality and mindset to do that kind of thing. And
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: I was sit there and watch movies. Can I just
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: do that? Please? Yeah?
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: No?
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: And I was happy talking to people, but it's like
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: going out and breaking stars and all that kind of stuff.
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: I was like, E half of this is dull and
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: half of this is invasive.
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: You guys, I've spent the first twenty five years of
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: my life just consuming Hollywood that use that talent.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: But missus Kay then gives out Larry the lamb to
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: reveal it's Bart. They're drawing him out of the hat
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: and the only things I'll bring home are notes to
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: The only thing I bring home in notes to parents,
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: And they don't arrive the way that they left, and
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: we get Marjorie and the letter says Bart is in
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: danger of failing nothing on none of his courses. Please
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: call me Bart's biggest fan, Edwkar Bubble. Missus Kay then
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: forces him to take the lamb, and Nelson's got a
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: rule infatuation with the Nelson's become a real punchline, now,
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: hasn't he. He's gone down the same avenue as mister Burns,
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: where no one's been defanged. Yeah, no one fears him anymore. Yeah,
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: and he's very emotional and yeah, so he says, which.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: Is funny in some ways. But when you just suit
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: a particular story, Yeah, when you keep hitting that button
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: over and over and over again, it's going to like, well, no,
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: there's no point to this. He's become a woofs now.
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: It's weird. Yeah, it almost become a bigger version of Millhouse. Yeah.
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: You nine times out of ten he needs to be
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: the threatening bully. Then that one episode out of ten
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: when he's really attached to that lamb.
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: He was like, I remember a couple of weeks ago
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: he took the pills and he was emotional like a
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: woman with that one.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: So, now Homer is cooking some bacon. He's drinking out
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: of the Flanders family reunion mug. He's drinking grease out
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: of the family. He's cooking bacon grease. Yes for the grease.
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Look.
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: Call back to the grease episode and Flanders tells him
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: about Grandpa's article. He says he only gets his news
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: from the internet, and he says, oh my god, you
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: read it, Gather. It's funny, it's poignant, it actually happened.
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: It reminds me of the Seidfeld. It's refreshing.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: That's the rule of three. Yeah.
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: The Junior Mint episode available right now on our Patreon.
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: He says, my god, my family, my dad is interesting,
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: and then he's got the that must mean that Kathy
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: is funny.
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: Who is Kathy are you talking about? Kathy was a
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: syndicated cartoon in the Funny Pages, created by a cartoonist Kathy.
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: Guy's what I believe, which was, yeah, I don't know.
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: Kathy was a modern woman who sort of like, I
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: hate my appearance and having trouble finding a man. I
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: think a Trey Munk was kind of like she would.
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: That was her laugh or something. I remember. Thirty Rock
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: had a good yag about it. That's pretty much all
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: I know. Nicol, I had never seen thirty Rock. We've
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: just started watching it. Yeah, apparently only one episode in.
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't think Tina phe is behind it.
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: But Robert Carlock is sort of like the co creator
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: of thirty Rock. He's got a new comedy out called
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: the It's called The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkett.
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: Starting tracing Morgan and Daniel Radcliffe as well. Apparently it's
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: really funny.
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: How much in tracing Morgan being anything these days just.
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: Past that point. But apparently it's really funny. It's sort
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: of in the thirty rock vane because we don't get
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: really sort of joke dense comedies like that as much
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: as we used to. Know. No, no, we don't at all.
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: But it feels very much like a Simpson's live action show,
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: does it.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: It certainly does. Yeah. Look, it's very of its time,
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: and it feels weird saying that about a comedy from
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: like two thousand and six or something. But it's like, oh, yeah,
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: we did things back differently back in the orts. Yeah.
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: But then everyone's reading in Grandpa's stories at the retirement castle,
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: maybe the best known Abraham in history. Then he tells
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: the story of being the shoe shiner at the train station.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: I didn't like.
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: I didn't mind hear the gags on the newspaper. So
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: he's shining someone'shoes. Who's reading the newspaper. The headlines say
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: curly to shamp you're out and bike wheels now the
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: same size, And the train arrives. It's the Tinseltown what's
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: called the tintl Town.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: Something, Tintletown star liner. Yeah, which route to Hollywood? I
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: do like the idea of this is when you're a kid.
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: When I was a kid, this is what my idea
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: of Hollywood was, Like all actors hung out together, he
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: all traveled together, they all lived in the same areas.
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: That's not what it is not anymore, but certainly in
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: this era. Yeah, I mean, because stars would be under
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: contract of various studios. Yeah, and it was basically going
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: to work every day. You'd go and you'd punch the
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: time clos so they have to work for specific I
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: didn't read, yeah, like you would sign a seven picture
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: deal to Paramount or clumb. Okay, that doesn't happen that
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: way anymore. Does it still to some degree, but actors
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: have a bit more sort of free agency. Okay, but yeah,
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: back in the day, I was like, No, you're essentially
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: going to work at the factory. You're going to work
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: at the store. You'd go in and you would have
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: lunch there at the commentsary and you'd see like pictures
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: from the thirties and forties or whatever, like sitting down
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: at some cafeteria table. I mentioned I think the last
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: time on one of the last shows who did talking
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: about that documentary on mel Brooks. He was talking about
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: how they still did this in the seventies even though
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: you know, the contract system had kind of broken up.
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: But mel Brooks was like in a head and office
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: next to Carry Grant, like carry g Cary Grand apparently
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: took a shine and mel Brooks is like, we're going
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: to lunch. Came on, Brooks. Everyone in the fifties spoke
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: like that, we Carry Grant especially, But so here's like
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: the epitome of Hollywood glamor and style in Melbrooks, this short,
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: little Jewish guy. It was just apparently charmed by Carry.
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: Grant was just charmed by him. But they'd go to
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: lunch at the Commentsary, like I'm having this and you'll
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: have that. It sounds more like high school. And people
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: always say, like, you know, Hollywood is just high school,
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: but with good looking people, it's like that. So I know,
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: I find that hilarious. But yeah, you're right in terms
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: of like it used to be that Hollywood stars will
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: all hang out together because that's what's your job. Yeah.
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: Well, and we didn't have access to their lives like
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: we do now as well, which it was very very
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: very tailored.
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but the.
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: Trainer arrives at various movie stars. One of them is
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: Clark Gable, but he's not a star yet is he
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: not yet? Know?
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: But he's going to be because Grandpa gives him what
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: gives him his paper, their copy of Gone with the Wind,
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: and he tells him to not tell this story for
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: sixty years. Boring, boring stuff, may line, boring stuff, may lie. Yes,
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: it's got one good swear.
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: And Homer then wonders why he never tells these stories
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: to us, and March is, well, he does. We just
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: ignore him, We don't pay any attention to him. And
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: he goes, oh, this is where I store Grandpa's stories
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: and it we cut to his head and it's like
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: an old school desktop, old school mac mac. Yeah yeah,
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: and it's just got recyclabin. He says, Marge's boobs Barton
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: Hawe like or something. But he throws home grandpa stories
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: into the recyclabin and then he said, ms, well delete
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: and some other stuff while I'm here, which is kids,
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: friends' names, driving, stick shift and history, and then it
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: says please contactism administrator.
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: So he's broken down. Lisa stick shift. Yeah, that's it, boy,
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: go for the nerds.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: If you're not going to take care of him, right,
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: give him to me, how.
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: Come we don't get mad when I torment real animals?
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: I do it enrages me.
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: I thought you Hindhus were supposed to love everybody.
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: I'm a freaking Buddhast.
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: The Buddhast, but just came across like a real piece
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: of shit here, like just mean horrible everyone did.
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah that's true.
• 42:33

  Speaker 3: we'd love for you to show you support and join
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: the four Fingered Scamped family on Patreon. Lisa then takes
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: Lowry the Lamb for a pram ride, and she says,
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: don't worry about but he doesn't represent to us he's
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: the black ship of the family, and then she backtracks
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: things that's offensive.
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: You know, not all black ships are bad. I think.
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: I don't judge sheep by the color of their I
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: did up their wall whatever, then by instead by how
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: itchy it is the wall. Then they arrive at the
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: jazz hole and she asks what's subgenre of jazz? He
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: likes fusion, neo bop, afro a Cuban, but he rolls
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: away and ends up down at the drain. By the way,
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: the correct he answer its fusion, yes, yes, and she
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: screams his name down the drain, and then Agnes comes
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: out of nowhere saying, you're coming across desperate running. I
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: was like, I know what you're trying to do there.
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that would have been funny in the writer's room. Yeah,
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: I just I don't understand. Yeah, it's an eight year
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: old girl. Why would an old woman walk up and
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: say that? Yeah? Just is she ate or she not?
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: You know, like that It doesn't work when are you
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: talking to an eight year old?
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: Anyway? I like the idea behind that joke, and it's
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: it's a nice little throwaway. I guess it's like, yeah,
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: coming across needy, But if as an adult woman maybe,
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: but I do know just to an eight year old
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: has felt weird. I know what you're saying. It kind
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: of ties in with the the theme of the episode
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: of like older people passing on wisdom, you know, it
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: was more yeah, yeah, I mean, if we're getting real
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: English class depth deep here, like your cats, I'm having
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: a big stretch because that's a big stretch, because yeah,
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: I mean if Agnes was kind of like, oh honey,
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: take it from an old lady, don't be so desperate
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: or something, I mean, that's not as funny, but it's
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: kind of like, oh, but it's connected to what they're doing.
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: It's not good, No, not great at all.
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: Then Grandpa's telling the storybot how he got the idea
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: for the suitcase of wheels and he saw it in
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: the commercial. That's where I got the idea from. Then
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: Mitch Album makes his guest appearance, the author of Tuesdays
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: of Murray, and when I was like, what is Tuesdays
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: of Murray? That's what I'm gonna went, That's what the
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: point of this is, I see, and they tell him
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: to beat it, and then they're getting closer and closer
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: to him, and then six hours later they've grabbed him
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: and they' thrown him out of the door. Then he
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: finds Ralph who says clouds are god sneezes. So he's like,
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: I can do something with this kid, and he that's
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: his guest appearance. Yeah, he had to make a cameo
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: because we're doing a whole episode about him about his book.
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: And then arrives with Scotch and he says that Marshall
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: or Grandpa says the Marshal's more of a son to
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: him than Homer ever was, and he says, well, he
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: was more of a father than me than you ever wear, Grandpa,
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: And then Marshall's I think that's true, you say out
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: of this dad, and he's like, yeah, okay, sure whatever.
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: Then he gives back his commitment r this is weird,
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: gives back his commitment ring that he never told him
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: about a father's son commitment ring, and then runs off
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: and cry and just sort of sitting there looking awkwardly,
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: and he's.
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: Like, but I'm telling you now.
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: I was like, I don't, I don't get this. It's
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: just weird, silly, not in a good way. We come
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: back and Bart is now asking for the lambback it's
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: time for him to take it back to school, and
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: Lisa's tried to cover up for it by having some
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: toilet rolls with some cotton balls attached to it. And
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: Nelson and they say, what's gonna What am I supposed
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: to do here? Like people are attached to this.
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: What if I don't show up with Larry?
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: Nelson walks past and says, hey, I can't wait to
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: see Larry this week. And this is what would happen
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: if someone lost him, and he says, you'll see a
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: dark side of him that.
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: You don't want to know about. That's it for Nelson.
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: So like, I feel like Nelson needed to find instead
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: of having Bart running away from rats and cats, I
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: need to have Bart being chased by Nelson for ruining idea.
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: Actually, yeah, because what's the point in setting this all up?
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: And then they're not having a payoff for the Nelson
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: I know, because they want to have a payoff with
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: the slow move moment, because you don't even get to
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: see Nelson with Larry. They look maybe like he rescues
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: him and then Larry and then Nelson gets Larry next
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: and it's all happy. Look, there's no payoff to the
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: Larry story. You know, it's just weird. Yeah, Bud gives
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: back Larry, but he's all sort of beaten up and
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: sort of weirdly stitched together. It looks like Frankenstein's Monster
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: or whatever. Nelson's like, I still love you or something
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: like that, something like that. Yeah, because it's not a
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: good joke. You see him at the end, he just
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: looks perfectly fine, even though he was ripped apart to
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: pieces arts pieces home and then calls Grandpa Marshall is
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: part of his now voicemail message and he says, this
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: is home. You're too late for my love.
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: Homer says, I tried to end the cycle of neglect,
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: and he hits me with super neglect as you were
• 47:05
  Speaker 3: saying earlier. And Mars says, you know what, maybe you're
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: not mad at Grandpa. Maybe you're just mad at yourself.
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: So I can't be mad at myself. He goes even
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: when to look at myself in the mirror, looks himself
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: in the mirror, and he's like, tries to be angry,
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: then loves himself.
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: Loves himself, hates himself, loves himself, breaks.
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: In the mirror, and then gets angry at himself. And
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: Marsha sits there rolling her eyes, which I've wrote here
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: march rolling her eyes is pretty much the audience is
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: all of us. And he says, I'm going to find
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: another surroyged father to to share some life lessons. So
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: of course we go to the MANSI paid of mister
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: Burns and he goes there, and the advice he gives
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: him is that the Yanksty River I think he calls
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: it the Yxstay river swallows all secrets. So he writes
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: that down he goes he has something like Hayes makes waste.
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: He says, that's something that I can make neither of
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: these days. And then he says, because I've enjoyed this afternoon,
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: I'm going to only release a hound, not the hounds.
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: And then how Ma get shakes away by the hound,
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: And that was the end of that chapter.
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: And that's the rest of that story.
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, how big Homer get in there Wilewoard Burns given
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: the time of day, just so many characters doing things anymore.
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: Again rule of three's kind of thing. There were surely
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: there are other older people as well. Have Homer going
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: to all of them because there are other gags in
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: here that can easily be cut out.
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think there's a good scene you could
• 48:18
  Speaker 3: have where he goes to the retirement castle and listens
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: to Jasper or the old Jewish going right, and Grandpa
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: sees this, and then Grandpa and the new and the
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: news Jasper whatever have almost like a jealousy standoff, and
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: who can tell them that the best store yes, and
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: then Marshall and Homer trying to write them down, and
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: that kind of there we go, not just him randomly
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: going to mister Burns's mansion and never seen again.
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: Once again, peals dan On guy fixed it.
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: He's apparently now written a book, but we'll get to that.
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: But Bart is now climbing down the drain with the
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: rope he stole from gym class. And this is why
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: I was talking about the family Guys skags where it's like,
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: where'd you get what do you mean? Jim class and
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: the custom millhouse trying to climb the rope.
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: There is no rope. We'll get to the ceiling somehow, sure,
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: So you could have easily cut that out and put
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: in another gag where Homer is trying to find an
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: old man who listen to stories because he realizes the
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: error of his ways.
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: But Lisa Loser's grip. He tells her to put it
• 49:04
  Speaker 3: in her teeth because that will shut her up.
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: Come on, man, these jokes are unworthy of It's not
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: in keeping with the why would Bart want to shut
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: her up? She's helping It's just why why is being
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: mean for she's helping him?
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: It's just stupid, alady. But he thinks he's picking up
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: Larry the lamb, but it's actually a rat. And then
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: again we get Lisa here asking Wigan for help and
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: he says, I'm an above ground police officer. You need
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: to ask the sewer cops. And she's like, well, how
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: do I contact them? I'm gonna be honest with these
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: there are no sewer cops, so no one's gonna help
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: the child that's down in the drain and stuff. That
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: is that lot sort of like your way of writing
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: out the fact that he has to try and get
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: himself out as opposed to the cops.
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: Even just the tale of the payoff of like there
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: are no just have just have Wigan running off going
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: on like that to be even better or have like
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: oh no, she's followed up with this on this obvious
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: lie all this.
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: It could say, Bart, stay where you are, I'll go
• 50:07
  Speaker 3: get mum and dad and they will come and help you. Sure,
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: there are literally other ways to do this, And he says,
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: She says, how are going to help Bart? And he says,
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: to yell into a toilet? Why would she just yell
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: into the drain?
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: That's where he is.
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: Homer goes to the Springfield Shopper to pitch his story.
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: Mondays with Monty and she takes it to the editor,
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: which is just the shudder. And meanwhile, while she's away
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: in the shedding room, he discovers Marshall's office. He goes
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: in there and he sees the Pulse Surprise application form
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: and discovers here that he plans to kill Grandpa when
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: they take a ride on the Tinseltown Star Line. It
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: at three o'clock Monday, and it's now one o'clock Monday.
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: I don't want to Having said that, there's a couple
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: of games we could have cut out, a couple of
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: we just mentioned. I would have liked a bit more
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: story development in terms of, like you see Marshall, like
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: these stories are getting old, or they're getting repetitive, or
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: even he's getting tired of hearing them. He's like, well,
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: I can wrap this up by bumping off this guy
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: and I'll write a best seller about Oh and then
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: you know, he told me the stories and then he died.
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, but we don't get that. We just get
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden, this thing out of the blue.
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: I get it sort of works, but I don't think
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: it a little bit more.
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: Maybe if they built up to it, though, it would
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: take away these shock value. Yeah, but I see what
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: you saying. They need to have this more scenes dedicated
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: to their relationship to Marshall and yeah, yeah, just him
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: telling stories, but Grandpa annoying him. But he's still sticking
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: about for the sake of the story, that's right. Yeah,
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: so he's not necessarily sick of hearing the stories. But
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: he's like, God, this fucking guy.
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know all the stuff I have to do
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: to get the stories out of God, I need three
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: more of these stories, and I've got a book. Yeah,
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: I'll never have to talk to this guy again. And
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: they said that they're worth more to me if he's dead. Yeah,
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: but he finds the book is out of the Mouth
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: of Abe, written by Marshall and our Grandpa Simpson and
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: we see the poster for the movie Hank and out
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: of the Math of Ape Grandpa created by the Henson
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: Creature Workshop. Did you see that?
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: We come back for commercial. Grandpa is about to get
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: onto the train so I could die happy man. This
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: is where we get the first indication that Marshall's like
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: smirking and whatnot. Homer misses the train because we think
• 52:19
  Speaker 3: he's chasing after it, but he's actually chasing after a cafe.
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: The cafe Caboose marshallon offers Grandpa some wine. I assumed
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: here he was poisoning him, but that's not what he's
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: doing at all.
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: Drink upybe live each moment as if someone's about to
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: kill you, I mean, if it's your last.
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: Sorry my hearing age on the fridge, the only word
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: I heard was.
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: Kill Meanwhile, wilst that's all happening, Homer's outside the window
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: trying to get his attention, but he can't distract him,
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: can't get his attention, but is now running away from
• 52:46
  Speaker 3: the rats. He sees Slime Mood with a cameo there
• 52:49
  Speaker 3: from Slime Move. He's been thrown down the train because
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: people don't care about him, and the rats suddenly stop
• 52:53
  Speaker 3: and they're scared. And it turns out there's sewer cats
• 52:56
  Speaker 3: down there, and the cats start chasing after Bart. I'm
• 52:59
  Speaker 3: not sure what do cats attack people, So Ali evil
• 53:03
  Speaker 3: ones to evil stew cats. And he sees Larry, who's
• 53:07
  Speaker 3: somehow on a pole up the top. I don't know
• 53:09
  Speaker 3: how he's there, but he's on a pole at the top.
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: So grab Bart grabs onto Larry's the lamb and slides
• 53:14
  Speaker 3: down the pile to escape from the cats because he
• 53:16
  Speaker 3: couldn't just run away. Wouldn't running away be faster? You
• 53:19
  Speaker 3: would think so, you would think so. But again he
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: apologizes for ripping him apart. And this is he's coming
• 53:25
  Speaker 3: out of the pipe near the beach and Agnes is
• 53:26
  Speaker 3: just randomly there and she says this, everyone seems to
• 53:29
  Speaker 3: love this guy. I give him my number. I can
• 53:31
  Speaker 3: teach him a few things. Things he can use, like
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: it's a stuffed animal. Yes, so I think gag just
• 53:35
  Speaker 3: went on like one sentence too long. Yeah, anyway, I'll
• 53:39
  Speaker 3: teach him things things he can.
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: Use, like I don't get it or I don't like
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: it at Grandpa has now fallen asleep on the train
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: and Marshall, you think it's attempting to smother him with
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: a pillow. Lenny and Carl now randomly helping Homer and
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: they lower him on. They're on the roof of the train,
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: and they how they get on the train. They weren't there,
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: Homer wasn't having to get in the train in the
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: first place. Howd they kids up the train get into it? Listeners,
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: can you sense our exhaustion? Yeah, this episode is not
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: that long. It's not and we're just kind of like,
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: none of this makes sense something. What's happened now?
• 54:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Lenny and Carl lower Homer into the train and
• 54:16
  Speaker 3: he's like, oh my god, you got the pillow. He's like,
• 54:18
  Speaker 3: it gets worse, pulls a gun out of the pillow. Now,
• 54:21
  Speaker 3: I noticed, by the way, when Lenny and Carl were
• 54:23
  Speaker 3: dropping Homer in, the animators for got to draw the
• 54:25
  Speaker 3: five o'clock shadow on Lenny. It was just yellow and
• 54:27
  Speaker 3: I've never seen Lenny like that before. Yeah, I just
• 54:30
  Speaker 3: made a mistake from animation.
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: There where Also they're making the joke about yoga.
• 54:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so Carl gets caught on a pole, so he
• 54:35
  Speaker 3: gets stuck as a train's getting taken away. Lenny said,
• 54:37
  Speaker 3: I'll see tomorrow at yoga. Karl says, Jane is sick,
• 54:40
  Speaker 3: so Trisha is filling in, and Lenny says, I'm fine
• 54:42
  Speaker 3: as long as it's.
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: Not a dude. Good good for you guys. Yeah. Then
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: this is where.
• 54:47
  Speaker 3: Marshall says, I'm the toughest, one of the toughest beings.
• 54:49
  Speaker 3: There is a bi weekly human interest columnist, and Grandpa
• 54:53
  Speaker 3: is going to make him a fortune. But it turns
• 54:56
  Speaker 3: out that Grandpa was good at playing possum. A little
• 54:58
  Speaker 3: call back to play possum with the sw the sharks,
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: and he smashes the bottle over his head, but that
• 55:02
  Speaker 3: doesn't work apparently, so then he just pulls the east
• 55:04
  Speaker 3: up on the train falls over and a bunch of
• 55:06
  Speaker 3: boxes filled with hats fall on him, and that is
• 55:08
  Speaker 3: the end of Marshall Anddio's Marshall. Yes, and Grandpa says,
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: you know what, he may have been rid over all
• 55:13
  Speaker 3: these years, but at least he didn't try to kill me.
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: That's where we're at now. I love you. At least
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: you didn't try to kill me. Only with the different
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: low expectations, where would my dating life be without them?
• 55:23
  Speaker 3: Then the ghost of Clark Gable gives Grandpa a ghost
• 55:26
  Speaker 3: coin and says you'll be able to spend it soon
• 55:27
  Speaker 3: because he's going to die soon. And the episode ends
• 55:30
  Speaker 3: with Grandpa he thinks about a tell a rambling story,
• 55:32
  Speaker 3: but no, he says it's time for Homer to have
• 55:34
  Speaker 3: his time, passes the torch as time for Homer's first ramble,
• 55:37
  Speaker 3: and he rambles over the closing credits.
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: And there you go. It does over the closes to
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: the very end, to the Gracie film's logo, Yeah, don't
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: shush me, shush yourself. Oh, shush yourself.
• 55:49
  Speaker 3: Yes, And that is the end of Thursdays with Aby
• 55:51
  Speaker 3: an episode that especially if you don't know the source material,
• 55:54
  Speaker 3: you're just like, what on earth is going on? I
• 55:56
  Speaker 3: can at least give it some leeway. Cut us somewhere
• 55:58
  Speaker 3: when I'm like, okay, now, then I understand what you
• 55:59
  Speaker 3: going for here. Yeah, I can see why you're doing this,
• 56:03
  Speaker 3: but I still don't think you did it very well.
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah. That's the thing. It's not strong enough without the
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: Tuesdays with Maury connection. I mean, if you establish the
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: world and the story and the characters enough and the theme,
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: as I said earlier, then having Mitch album and it's like, oh,
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: it's Tuesdays with Maury. But yeah, you have to you
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: have to make the assumption that the audience doesn't know
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: what you're talking about. Yeah, you have to start each
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: story with a clean slate.
• 56:28
  Speaker 3: And they didn't always do that, But as we were
• 56:30
  Speaker 3: saying at the start of this, they were very, very
• 56:33
  Speaker 3: picky with what they selected when it came to references
• 56:35
  Speaker 3: from pop culture. Sure, and or they do it in
• 56:37
  Speaker 3: a way where it wasn't the episode didn't succumb to it.
• 56:40
  Speaker 3: It was just something that happened and it was so
• 56:43
  Speaker 3: off kill to that you went, Okate, I don't know
• 56:45
  Speaker 3: what that was, but it's obviously something.
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the references tend to be like lovely little sprinkles
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: on top of a beautiful ice cream Sunday, And sometimes
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: you'd get like, when I meant these sprinkles are third flavored,
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: like at the end of the Mystery X episode where
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: they reference the prisoner, Like, I imagine a lot of people,
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: as we talked about in our interview, I think with Bill,
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: what's this? I think that might have been the start
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: of not the rot, but so like, you need to
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: be a bit more careful with your choices.
• 57:13
  Speaker 3: Well, it's just episodes of so many characters doing things
• 57:16
  Speaker 3: that don't fit their characters anymore. As I said, jokes
• 57:19
  Speaker 3: assigned the characters, opposed to characters assigned to jokes instead
• 57:22
  Speaker 3: of jokes assigned to characters.
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: What do we learn? What did you learn from the episode?
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: As of Davis and I can't believe anyone would choose
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: Neo Bob over Afro Cuban Jazz. Come on, man, what
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: are we even doing it? I thought Fusion was your favorite.
• 57:35
  Speaker 3: Fusion is my favorite, yes, but Neo Bob Come on man.
• 57:39
  Speaker 3: I learned to never trust anyone who shows an interest
• 57:42
  Speaker 3: in you.
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: In more ways than one. Looking at you, Greg Taylor,
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: we trusted you from forward. Your name will be.
• 57:53

• 58:41
  Speaker 2: that said.
• 58:41
  Speaker 3: Pretty clever title, I must say so, a very very
• 58:43
  Speaker 3: clever title. Indeed, it is Jet Gurdham.
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: You look what you did this?
• 58:49
  Speaker 3: Yes, Jack Gerda with his first points of the season,
• 58:52
