  Speaker 2: in those groups?
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah? Double alias now, yeah, there's an international Man of Mystery.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, obviously we here talk about the carriage Fani.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: We're getting that in just a few moments though. But
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: you've got some upcoming too a day, so we plugged
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: those before we get underway today.
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: Yes, oh, thank you, Yes, Yes, I'll be touring a
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: new show next year. I think that'll go on sale
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: later this year. I think if it's out, so you know,
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: follow my social media at Ray Eleary Comedy for that.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: And also we go into the UK in February and March,
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: touring all over England and Scotland and potentially Ireland. I
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: don't know if those dates have gone up here, but yeah,
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: there are some UK dates or UK and Ireland dates up,
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: so you check them out.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: I'm glad you said rayo Leary Comedy because I'm not
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: sure if we actually alluded to the fact. Look, Ray,
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: of course you're I well know you do appear on
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Have you been paying attention on Taskmaster? I don't think
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: we actually said front rarely recomedian? You're on door?
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: What do you do?
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: People listen to the show know him more than an LS.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: It's okay either he's a comedian or wear it competent. Yes,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: but yes, heading to the UK, how do you find
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: the difference in audiences when he had over there? Do
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: they any differences there or not? No?
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: Not not really. I don't know. I think maybe the
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: biggest difference is just that here in Australia there are
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: maybe a bit more used to used to me. But
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: otherwise I find the British and I guess Australasian sense
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: of humoris is very, very similar. And also when I
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: go to Britain, I mean often it is Australian and
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: New Zealanders come out and see me, so they make
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: up a big chunk of the crowd anyway. But yeah,
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: apart from that, maybe there's some slight language barriers with
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: my accent, but I've not yet digged in in America.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: But that's where I expect it'd be the biggest, the big,
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: the big barrier to have to have to try maneuver over.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they very much don't get our sense of humor
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: all of the time.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: Yes exactly, Yes, yes exactly. I don't really understand the Simpsons,
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: to be honest.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: So well, I was actually wondering how I don't know,
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: synchronized or aligned the traditional Kiwi sense of humor is
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: with say, the Simpsons sense of humor. I mean, we
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: tend to sort of view it as universal. I don't
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: know if there are as many fans of the Simpsons
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: in New Zealand as there are in Australia.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: I'd say yeah, I'd say so. I felt like, I mean,
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: I don't know what I was like growing up in Australia,
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: but in New Zealand, the Simpsons were on constantly. There
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: was Yeah, I don't think there was a night where
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: the Simpsons wasn't on. There was at least there was
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: one cable channel. Well yeah, we wouldn't say the term cable,
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: but there's one our equivalent of Fox Tell that would
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: run I think at least five Simpsons episodes a day
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: on the weekend. You know, it was all just always
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: on in the evening. It was omni present. So it
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: was yeah, yeah, it was. It was huge in New
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: Zealand and and also I'm pretty sure the Simpsons writers
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: were influenced by things like Monty Python and the UK
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: sensibilities and stuff, which maybe makes it explain why it's
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: so Yeah.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Worldwide, I find the Simpsons is great for finding new
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: friends as well. You mentioned before that when you go
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: to the UK sometimes you have that language barrier. You
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: don't some people might not know you as much as
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: they know you when you're in Australia. I'm sure if
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: you drop a couple of Simpsons gags in your routine,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: I start seeing. But what was your all of your
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: earliest memories of the Simpsons.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: Oh, that's a good question. I don't. I don't know
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: if I have any particular concrete memories, but I definitely
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: would remember I'd watch the TV, and I think I
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: would go and try and recite some of the gags
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: that I liked to mum or she was like trying
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: to wash the dishes or prepare for next day, or
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: you know, after I'd eating all their food and was
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: doing nothing and she was not interested. I was, you know,
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: I was bombing. I was bombing in the kitchen.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Can you recall can you recall any of the particular
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: gags that what that it might have been?
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: No? No, no, sorry, man, I'd butcher and I'd butcher
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: them now. But I definitely remember liking the Simpsons and
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: a But I'm sure as a kid what primarily drew
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: me to it was the fact that it was a cartoon.
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: You know, like I just assumed it was for me
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: because it was a cartoon, and there's no way I
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: understood really anything of what was going on, Whereas now
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: I felt like, you know, you watch the comedy and
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: it's it's more sophisticated that I think what a kid
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: would pick up on.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, or you were mentioning twists before we started recording
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: that you went back last year with the year before,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: watching season three through to nine, and there's just so
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: many gags that you don't pick up on and when
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: you're a kid and you just appreciate the show on
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: a whole new level. I've just started watching the show again.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Obviously watch it all the time for the podcast, but
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: I've got a seven year old and it just turned
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: five year old hay b if the Holy My daughter
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: turned five to day as we record this. But they've
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: just started watching The Simpsons and we've gone back to
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: the start and we're watching them through and I'm watching
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: this and I'm laughing at things and going, why is
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: that funny? I'm going you'll understand eventually, or if I
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: can be bothered to explain it, I'll also explain the
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: gag as well. That's just what's so great about The
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Simpsons is there's there's so many layers to it. There's
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: gags are the kids, gags for the adults, and the
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: gags for everybody.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, if I was tearrified, the story was going
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: to be that your kids were understanding the Simpsons perfectly,
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: and I was. I was just a particularly stupid child.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: We're all stupid.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: We were a smart adult though, Ray I given you
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: you're you're, you're you're a well just what were gleaned
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: from this conversation. But also, yeah, you're a student of philosophy.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: Yes, well you've done your research.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: The internet, thank you, but sort of gathering that information
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: or you know, learning about, you know, the various strands
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: of thinking and things like that. I don't know, did
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: affect your comedy sensibility in anyway in how you absorb
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: comedy but also how you presented.
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: Yes, I say one hundred percent. Yeah, I think it. Yeah,
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: I think it fundamentally sort of changed changed who I
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: am and how I approach things. And I think, especially
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: with comedy, I think a lot of good comedy is
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: sort of like a philosophical argument. You know, in philosophy,
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: there there's you know, you're trying to support a conclusion.
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: You know, you're trying to prove that the conclusion is true,
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: and you gather your premise and your evidence and you're
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: arranged in the logical order and you do that. And
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: comedy I think can often be like that. You know,
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: It's like I see the world like this, and this
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: is why, and here's my supporting reasons, and so it
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: is often you are often presenting an argument, but often
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: but because it's comedy, the logics all twisted and none
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: of it quite makes sense and stuff, But it's still
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: I think at its core you're doing a very similar thing. Yeah.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: And the closing argument that you've got to come up with,
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: that conclusion you have become with is usually is the punchline.
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: Yes exactly of percent? Yeah, yeah, yeah, And and I
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: mean the Simpsons writers were heavily influenced by philosophy. I'm
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: pretty sure that they seem to know what I mean.
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: There was there's a great gag is the it? Which
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: one is the probe where they all have to give
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: them their textas and Kim Brockman says the unemployment line
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: formerly the domain of philosophy majors.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's right. When they're at the dole officer.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: That's tough times and not even productive people are feeling,
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: not just philosophy.
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: How even productively. So funny.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: It's interesting you're saying before that you used to do
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: the gags to your mother or try and rehearse them
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: to your mum. We've had like several, like many comedians
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: on the show, and so many of them say they
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: did the same thing when they were younger. I just
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: wonder if you became a comedian because of the Simpsons.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: They're just instilled in your mind, this is something fun
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: to do. I'm going to do this for a living
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: without even realizing it.
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, one hundred percent. And it's clearly something in you
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: that makes you want to recite the gag and keep
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: the laugh for yourself. And I do wonder if bombing
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: to my mum in the kitchen sort of instilled this
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: like deep desire to get a laugh of like, you know,
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: I gotta I gotta win her somehow, you.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Know, she a heck boom.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I'm just remembering my favorite Simpsons gift, which
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: is the stand up comedian. Oh, I think about weirdstuff.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: What about a et and mister T had a baby,
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: but then he does a little give it up gesture.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: I'm just picturing you in the kitchen and.
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: Mom, I was doing a lot of you know how
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: white guys drive, like.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Trying to picture a little six year old Rare Learry
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: doing that routine.
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: It's actually now that's one of my sister's favorite gigs
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: from the Simpsons of when mod does stand up and
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: as the ladies like to call me, hey you behind
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: the bush?
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Do you like that episode, the stand up comedian episode
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: where Krusty becomes the more raunchy comic.
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that's yeah, it's fantastic where he sort of
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: does it George Carlin type two. George Carlin is maybe
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: even in the episode.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Maybe maybe be reference by any different does the ponytail
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: and whatnot?
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: Yes, No, I think it's I think it's phenomenal, and
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: it's it feels like a timeless type sort of commentary
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: on like, it feels still very much how comedy works now,
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: where you know you can be this like interesting alternative
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: act for a while and then the the siren call
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: of money and Kenyonero's sponsorship deals and you sell your
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: soul Jay Leno's in that episode, that's the one.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: It gives them the spongebarb yes, Leno's bathing.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: Yes. And then as we well, the episode we're going
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: to discuss was almost going to be Burns Baby Burns,
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: which is another one that heavily features a stand up
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: comedy and has Rodney Dangerfield sort of basically playing himself,
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: which is I think another another fantastic episode.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: It's funny because when I was younger, I didn't even
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: quite get what he was on on about who is
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: this character? What is going on? I understand these gags,
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: and then when I got I was like, holy shit,
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: this is one of the first episodes of all time.
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: It's so good. Yeah, And I've read that the Ride
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: has actually kind of struggled to write it because they
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: were trying to write Rodney Dangerfield jokes. And I think
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: he is a very particular tone and type, which is
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: maybe that's not that hard to tap into, like oh,
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: the heavily you know, the guy who gets no respect.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: You know, that's that's a stick. But the jokes he
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: does are so so so strong. He's a very like
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: his stand up. I think a lot of it still
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: holds up, which a lot of comedy does not, but
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: his still does. And so I don't know, they ended
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: up doing a very good job. I think of sort
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: of creating a mini Rodney Dangerfield in The Simpsons, and
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: like the little allusions to his act I think are
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: so funny where he says, I get no regard.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Move the tire.
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: It is walking up to mister Burns's house and is going, oh, man,
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: this place is so nice. It's got I've never seen
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: a place with a drive in mailbox talking to.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm going to say, you're nailing the Rodney cadence there,
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: because I mean he's very much one on one and
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: in terms of what you're talking about there, I mean,
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: the gags seem like, oh, these are dad jokes or
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: these sort of hacky take my way, please stand up jokes.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: But the combination of that material and the way Rodney
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: delivered them, it's with a sort of laser focus. Yeah,
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: you're right, no one can really imitate that. I mean
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: you can try, but yeah, you'll never get it quite right.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: So do you think he's also somewhat of a physical comedian
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: just the mannerisms in which when he delivers the line
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: he looks away and he does the tie. Do you
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: think that is part of the part of the shtick.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: Do you think as well?
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, one hundred percent. I think he I mean I
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: think he may have actually had a condition, but his
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: eyes sort of boulge out a little bit as well,
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: and like, yeah, just the way he looks he it's
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: I think it is important for comedy, and I think
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: maybe i've stumbled upon it as well. But you know,
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: he looked he looks like a loser. You know, you
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: believe he's a loser. And then he gets up and
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: he starts talking, and you're like, oh, this guy, yeah,
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: he's a.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Loser if he gets up and he starts doing sort
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: of politically charged George Carlin Stahleman.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: You're not quite buying it. Could they could be the
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: most bang on lines ever. They get the most scathing
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: social observations, like from this guy though.
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: He's not selling it, don't you hate pants?
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: It's a big club and you're not in it. But
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: you're speaking about timeless commentary before and The Simpsons is
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: no for that. And that's what we're doing today is
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: the Cartridge Family because obviously they're taking the mickey out
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: of gun laws and just controlling guns in the gun culture,
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: gun culture in the in the US. But they do
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: it in a way that not many shows have been
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: able to successfully pull off. It's unbiased. It sees the
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: pros and con of both sides. I don't think you
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: really walk out of this feeling like guns are the
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: way to go, or generally guns aren't the way to go.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: It's just the way Sports World have written it is
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: just an all timer.
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: Yes, one hundred percent. Yeah, Yes, Swartsweld will be one
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: of the greatest comedy writers of all time. And I
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: think as I've sort of gotten older, I think I
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: realized that is. I guess what you discussed is kind
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: of the kind of comedy I really love. I do
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: really love comedy about politically charged topics. But I don't
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: you know, you don't want to just hear someone sort
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: of repeat what you believe back to you and then
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: you sort of just clap and go, oh yeah, that
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: I do agree with that. Like, yeah, the Simpsons have
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: I guess, kind of a funny perspective, which is Homer
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: really Homer should not have a gun, which is I
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: think the main takeaway.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: But it's yeah, and that's what Mike Scully said, the
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: showrunner at the time. He said that that's the takeaway.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Homer the character is the person who shouldn't have a gun.
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: Yes, exactly, Yeah, and which I think everyone could have
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: could agree with there, Like its funny like seeing the
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: members of the NRA's faces as he shoots at the TV.
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: They're like watching Eggna's skinner look so horrified.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: And who's been throwing grenades at the shooting range dryer.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: And I think it's actually a really good rug pull
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: that moment because you're not expecting their reaction to be that, Yeah,
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Moss shown up, he's five in one gun, and you
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: expect them to sort of be gun crazy when he
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: does that. It makes you the viewer who is like,
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: I'm not anti gun, but like we're in it. Outside
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: of the States, we have a very negative outlook on
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: their guns. In the States. You watch it and you go, Ah,
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: these guys aren't gun crazy maniacs. Maybe I need to
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: take a step back and to sort of listen to
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: what they have to say as well.
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: Yes, one hundred percent, And like I feel like, I mean,
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: I could be wrong, but it feels like could be
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: very difficult now to portray the NRA and maybe in
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: a more reasonable I don't know, it doesn't just feels
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: things are more polarized now, and so I feel like,
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: I don't know, I don't know if you'd have necessarily
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: as a nuanced to discussion involving the NRA on on
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: TV now, But I think that's the Yeah, that's the
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: kind of comedy I really like. It's political comedy, it
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: wades into the political issues. It doesn't necessarily show that
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: one side is one hundred percent right, though maybe it
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: does make you lean more towards a little bit a
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: little bit one way. But it's not like, you know,
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: they don't say this this issue is perfect or the
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: side is perfect. Like at the end, you know, it
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: kind of seems like maybe Marge is in the right,
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: but then they do get what is it held up?
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: They get by snake. Snake comes in and then they
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: do need a gun at the end.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you also have the issue of Marge and
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: Home and Home aligned to it again. But yeah, you're
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: just touched on there. How Like I was saying, how
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: it's unbiased? Do you think you couldn't do it now
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: as you're saying, because comedy in general has just become
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: very one note. Let's say that you agree or you disagree.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: There's sort of no middle line anymore, especially when it
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: comes to political issues.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: I think there are still some people in some comedies
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: who are tackling, you know, political topics in a very
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: interesting way, and even sometimes in a one in an
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: overly one sided way, like I think, you know, John Stewart,
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: for example, or roy Wood Junior. I think they're clearly
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: left wing people, or Steward Lee in the UK, like
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: I think there are some comics who are very clearly
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: left wing. But even though they are left wing, they're
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: still the primary primary concern of all of them. I
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: think has been funny first, you know, and I think
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: that's so that's still nice. So I wouldn't necessarily say
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: that comedy has changed. I would say my feeling is,
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: and I could be wrong, but that politics has changed.
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: It's not as it's not as nice as it used
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: to be. I think, like I again, I mean that
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: we have constant discussions about like you know, we all
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: need to reach across the aisle and you know, not
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: be so polarized, YadA, YadA. But I do think, yeah,
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: top of the issues just are more polarized now, and
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: there's a bigger gulf between the two sides, and I think.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: I imagine there's nu once discussion app they it is really
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: really sort of harder to find. It gets drowned out
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: by the loudest signs on either extreme, whether you're if
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: we're talking about guns for and sorta of gun control
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: with their anti gun control or pro I mean, I imagine
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: there are moderate voices even in the NRA or in
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: you know, in gun culture in the US. I mean,
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: I've known people who who hunt and who have rivals
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: and now they are adamant. They are always adamant about like, yeah,
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: this day's locked up, this day's like double locked up.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: It's behind the get smart doors essentially. Yeah, but I'm
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: sure you're going to have some people who are, you know,
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: to the extremes like no, no open carry all the time.
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: This is on my hip wherever I go, and they're
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: the ones who are going to get the headlines and
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: sort of prompt the most discussion pro and con.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: What's interesting in swatswad are the men who wrote this
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: one of the most iconic Simpsons writers of all time.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: He's very pro gun. So I wonder if it wasn't
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: him running, do you think there would have been a
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: bunch of pro NRA story.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: And I imagine the King of the King of England
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: got in his face one too many times and it's
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: just like I'm got to show this guy.
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: That is a great moment of the episode right at
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: the year where they where they say the reason on
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: a gun is we're homo midges that do you think
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: is being dumb? And then the n A are like, no, no, no.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: But that's the main reason. Yeah.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: But you're right though, Dan, I mean, I imagine that
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: we're going into this. I I had memories of the
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: Cartridge family, but I didn't remember the entire plot, and
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: I was thinking, Oh, this is going to be more
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: anti gun than pro and it's I wasn't going to
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: accuse it of not having nuance. I mean, I think
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: The Simpsons does that pretty well, but I get that.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: I had the feeling that in the end it's going
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: to be more guns are bad for the most part,
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: or our argument is ninety percent guns are bad. And yeah,
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: for this to be as even handed as it was
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: in a lot of ways, and even with that last
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: part that you're talking about with the final the final,
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: the very final scene with Marge, yeah, they do appeal
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: to something very primal, improvenive.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: It feels good to hold this. Yeah. Yeah, and that
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: ending interesting you brought that up, is actually censored. I'm
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: not sure if it is to this day. We'll got
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: Disney Plus now, so it's different Back when reruns on
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: TV where the way to watch The Simpsons in the UK,
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: they banned the episode for a good while because of
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: the subject matter and they thought it was just too
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: pro gun and they thought the kids would think, as
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: he said at the end there with Marge walking out,
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: they think kids would leave this going. Kids think guns
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: are cool and we don't want that at all here
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: in the UK. So it was banned. But then when
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: they finally another another station brought the rights to it
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: got to go onto the TV, but they changed the ending.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: You can actually find the video on YouTube of the
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: revised ending that airs. I think it's gonna be Sky
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: one or whatever. And what happens is when Marge puts
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: the gun in the bin, you see a reflection and
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: then they play the reverse footage, and it's meant to
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: be that her gun. She's dropping the gun in the bin,
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: and then she just walks out and that's the end.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: I don't see her with the gun. You don't know
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: she's got the gun in her purse. It's meant to
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: be Marge's put the gun in the bin. She's happy,
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: and she's walking out like she's saved the day by
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: getting rid of the gun, which completely changes the tone
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: of the episode.
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: Really does yes, Yes, and it's a shame because it's
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: kind of nice when March has those little moments where
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: you're like, oh, she's I don't know, she's not just
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: this mild mannered I don't know, housewife or whatever. You know,
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: she's got this like interesting fiery streak and she's a
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: gambling addict and stuff. You know, it's nice when they
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: have she has little moments flaws. She has flaws exactly.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because I don't think the episode is anti gun
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: so much as pro responsibility. And then going back to
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: that NRA meeting where you know, at Home's place where
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: he's you know, bring out chocolate curls and that, but
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: using the gun to open his beer and everyone's.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Just absolutely repulsed by this.
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: I mean yeah, I mean I think that's probably what
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: the episode is putting across morning, and it's like, that's
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: how you should if you're if you're an American and
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: you're you've got the second member that allows you to
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: what gives you the right to bear arms, You've got
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: to do so responsibly.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: You know, this isn't a what.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: Is Homer's ads? Like, this is a tool like anything else,
• 22:47

• 23:21
  Speaker 2: one of the original creators of the show, back in
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: season one, and the way he was going to end
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: the episode was at Homer saves a robbery using his gun,
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: YadA YadA, YadA, and I'm glad they didn't do that
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: because I think if you do a story like that
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: which comes across as very pro gun in the early
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: days of The Simpsons, I think it changes the overall
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: depiction of just the perception of the show for parents
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: letting their kids watch it, because I mean, as an
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: Australian mother, I know my mum would definitely not let
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: me to Simpsons if there was an episode in season
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: one saying hey, kids, guns aren't so bad.
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: Yes for sure, yes, yes, yeah, I don't know what
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: my mom thought, I guess, I don't know did she'd
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: allowed me to watch it, but I know she's a
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: partner are now who never liked The Simpsons because there
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: was too much belching. That was that's the line that
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: was burping. He goes duck hunting and things like that.
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: So I assumed that the guns was fine. But the
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: birding is with them.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: When he when he strangles you like, that's okay? As
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: well know every episode is just censored forever.
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: They actually edited the ending of the Barty episode where
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: he's about to burn, but then they reversed the footage
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: and he doesn't.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: What's the more they do the big burp? It's their
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: star as burns when they have the back with the critic.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah but you door a wealthy interesting I know how
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: or why? But what was what's the celebrities name? You're
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: just saying you do wealthy? Yeah, you do it. They
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: have her do the burp off screen and crusty hair blows.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: For some reason on Australian TV they used to censor
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: out the burp. It was just silent when she burned
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: and his hair would move, but he couldn't hear a burp.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: It makes no.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: Sense was your mum's partner on the on the film classification.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: We're okay with Salo and the Evil Dead, but you
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: had not this episode.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: It all makes sense now. The other thing, this obviously
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: is all about gun control, but we also get a
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: really solid margin Homer in Christ's marriaging Christ's story. He
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: had plenty of them, but I thought this one here
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: felt unique in the sense that Marge wasn't leaving just
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: because Homa did something stupid. She was leaving because she
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: genuinely feared for her life. And that's a different thing.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: It wasn't Home wasn't doing necessarily anything. His behavior was stupid, right,
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: but it wasn't he was just being an idiot. It
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: was just he was being selfish and being I guess, yeah,
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: just a bad father and a bad husband. And that's
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: why she had to take the kids and run.
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: He was genuinely endangering their lives and consistently lying about it.
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: And it's I think those lines are so funny, were
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: in Marge with what is it? He comes in? And
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: what is it? Bart is about to shoot Millhouse in
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: the face, and then and then hope it comes and goes, Oh,
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: how come Bart gets a gun.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: I never thought you'd find out.
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: I swear from the bront bottom of my heart, Parge,
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: I didn't think you'd find out. It's so funny.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's great that they have. They make it so funny, right,
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: but then you have to have that serious moment where
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: the n RA go well what are you doing, bunny?
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: And it's important. It was clever that Swortswater had the
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: n r A be the ones to do that as well.
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, yeah, it's so funny. And then also making
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: Homer leave his own house he has to wait outside
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: all the rest of them parties.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: What sounds like the Ion Springfield thing? Is that? Really?
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: That's what sound like? I want to any excuse for
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: me to do that sound is yeah, I'll take it better.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: Say favorite moments?
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: Well, I thought it was under one of my favorite moments,
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: but that one of my favorite moments is actually the
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: next line my favorite.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: Well what we do here? Raised we touched on some
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: of our favorite moments from the episode. Do you have
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: any particular moments that stood out to you?
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: Oh, it's a lot. I mean, I picked it because
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: I do think it is the funniest episode. I think, Yeah,
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: I think how come Bart gets a gun. That's incredibly
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: a really funny line. But maybe my favorite line is
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: we know because Marge, I've got a surprise for you.
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: They got to the open, she opens your eyes and
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: he's pucked in the gun. Right.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: It's amazing you can have such confronting images of pointing
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: a gun at Marge's face but make it funny.
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: It's really something. It is really something that we can
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: only get away with because it's animated. Like probably if
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: you had if this show was live action and Homer
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: was shooting a gun at the TV and things like that,
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: it probably would be quite horrifying watch. Because it's an animation,
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: they can get away with it and do the things
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: of the shots of Marge's eye and the guns pointed
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: right out in it.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: When the guy was leaving there, the security guy, and
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: he says, surely you can't put a price in your
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: family's life. I wouldn't thought so either.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: But here, by the way, shadow to x Con security
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: guary real quickly, just when he's pinching all their ship stopping.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: It just doesn't really sort of sly smile like, oh
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: I like this guy.
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: But when when he says, what does it know that
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: all the previous owner of this owners of this house
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: could still be in here.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: He didn't change your lots.
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: And the other the other line, now that I think
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: about it, that always I remember really cracking me up
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: when I first watched the episode was the soccer ad
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: right at the start and they say, then we can
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: finally decide which is the best country in the world,
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: Mexico or Portugal.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: Well, when we get to this the moments, I want
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: to touch on that because yeah, there's a lot to
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: dove into that as well. But I also really liked
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: the Now being a married man with two kids, I
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: completely relate and understand this bit where Marge says to Homer,
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: I think you'd agree Homer that I've put up with
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: a lot in this marriage. And he's about to interject
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: and he looks at the kids, and the kids's goat,
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: you'll lose this one day.
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: That's such a good light. And the cup to them
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: after Homer has been shooting the dinner plates and then
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: they up to them all eating out of the colanders and.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: Open where we did the plates You probably left them
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: at wait.
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: And I also love a Millhouse moment and a Simpson's
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: episode as well that When Homer says, do you know
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: how to cook dinner? He goes on, do I.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: My time shine.
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: One or two that I wouldn't mind giving a shout out.
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: I love that the gunshop was called blood Bath. And
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: beyond that much of your questions Moe's lying about he
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: he had a burglar at Mo's and shot him in
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: the spines. Like I guess the next place he rather
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: better than a ramp.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: Dark. It's gonna get pretty ugly there the spine.
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: It's such a horrific spit. And today I forget they
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: either all clap or do they all?
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: Are they appla they applause? I don't know this is
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: a meme as such.
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: It's not.
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: It's not a mainstream meme in the in the vein
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: of Homer back in the Hedge or something like that.
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: But Homer's robbed the Quickie Mard fantasy.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: It's like what would like to be good?
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's guys, a go go Dan Senator sash swirling
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: a six shooter and marges like a bikini clap go
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: go down.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: Really like brobed the Quickie Margin.
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: And the kids have left the family home. They've gone
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: to Patty and Selm. We've got a gentleman.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: Called Stem is not broken, it's just unplugged.
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: Hey, Hey, I thought you would.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: Have loved Quimby. That's my final one, Wimby. That's all
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: you got to say.
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: And three times the man's just on the campaign trailer's
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: on the hast things all the time.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: Brilliant, Mike Wimby. My final one is at the end
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: where Snake takes home his gun. Gets you, idiot, there's
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: no in there. Give me the okay, don't you?
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: The phenomenal one? Actually, speaking of lines that I remember
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: as a kid, I just maybe they used to play
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: it in an aad or something. No, that can't be right,
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: but I distinctly remember the the woman saying, hello's sailor,
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: and does you say you're looking for a good time?
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: And he says.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: He's really not.
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: Budge comes back out. But I think that, for whatever reason,
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: the line of hello, sailor, are you're looking for a
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: good time? Stuck in my brain as a child.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: It's what you were saying before. You think it might
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: have been from commercial or something. There's a moment in
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: this episode here where Homer says we're going to go
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: to the soccer. Yes, yes, oh god, yes, that used
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: to be always used. We had a TV station was
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: still here, Channel ten. You're on Channel ten? Were you
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: have you been paying attention to whatnot? They used to
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: air the Simpsons. That was like the in the Golden Year.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: That was what they had The Simpsons and used to
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: have competitions all the time, and they say do you
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: want to answer the competition? And it always play that
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: clip yes, yes, oh god, yes or whatever I say.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: I'm like, it's the ad. It's funny how like certain
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: moments to get repeated so many times. You're like, it's
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: that commercial and that's that moment. Yeah, next question, you
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: there eating the bast trivia time hit us with your
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: first question the.
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: Soccer grade Pelle endorses what it'll make you king of
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: the kitchen.
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: Oh yes, it's a it's something really bland and oh
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: is it just like a well, why no.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: Crust something crackers? Right? It is Cressfield wax paper.
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: It is nothing like what you was at. But Pella
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: got a fat second cash for that. Anytime, anytime we've
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: got someone getting a fat bag with a dollar sign
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: on it, you're doing all right by mate, whether it's
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: Ron Howard or Pele and those are pretty much the
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: only two examples that exist. Yeah, just an absolute winner unrelated.
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: It's in another episode and you guys will know which one.
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: But another great moment in the Simpsons at a stadium
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: is when mister Burns is the winner of a of
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: a lottery or he wins a car or something and
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: he comes out. Oh it's when. It's when Margin is
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: making pretzels because she's.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: Just in zero zero one and she just had.
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: Prinzels to the entire crowd, and come the.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: Pritzels Colin Whitey Whackers.
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: Mister Burns is twitching on the ground.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: No, it's a whitey Whitey somebody could He comes out
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: to try and stop the crowd. And then Colin Whitey
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: Whackers because mister Burns in his car. I just love
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: the delivery. I think it's harrisher and here come that pretzelzels.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: I have to say that. Man. My first question is
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: what is on at the Springfield Stadium the day after
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: the socker.
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: Oh. I remember paying attention to that because I remember thinking, oh,
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: that was weird, and I thought maybe they could have
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: done a stronger gag. But I'm trying to.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: It's usually something of rock.
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: This something of.
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: It's monsters of something.
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: Oh well, okay, is it monsters of love or something?
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: Or Monsters of poetry?
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: That's aid Monsters of Poetry. I didn't understand the gag.
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: I think that's well.
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: Monsters of Rock is like a thing, right, it's a
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: it was an ongoing tour in the nineties that you
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: get to get a three or four bands that were the.
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: Money. Yeah, so for three or four bands that were
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: couldn't quite fill the stadium on their own.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: But Monsters of Rock featuring Docan deph Flippers.
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: Of Poetry, that's a great gag.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: Yes, your next one.
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: According to Margin's statistics, you are how much more likely
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: to shoot a family member than you are an intruder?
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: I know this one. I remember.
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: Oh, yes, gosh, I remember because saying and but how
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: how much higher?
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: Is it? Like a little bit, a little bit more
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: than half?
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: Yes, I was going to say that. My brain went
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: to fifty six fifty eight, Yeah.
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: Incredibly close.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, Where are the guns located in blood Bath
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: and Beyond?
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: Oh gosh, I remember I remembering Homer seeming like he
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: wanted to rush into the store that he rushes straight past.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: Wise guy says they're in Asle so and so next
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: to the something. They're in Aisle six next to the
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: sympathy cards.
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: Well this is very quick to bathroom turn around by Homer,
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: by the way, Yeah.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but that I love that moment. Yeah, I think
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: he's excited for the gun.
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: But also very any i'mhappy in any time I see
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: Wise Guy as a viewers and listening to the show.
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: Well know, but this particular time, we're just getting shot at.
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: I know, the empty whoa he take it hes there
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: any ugly. I didn't take it easy. I've got a
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: gun that was brilliant. I have one more trivia question.
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: What was the what was the thing he says to
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: Guy does homelessay like, oh like you said some like
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: if I had my gun on shoot you or something.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well you don't.
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: My last question, we're going back to the stadium. How
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: much valet parking cost at the stadium?
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: Oh, good question. I have no idea.
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: I'm yeah. I mean I remember the valets showing up
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: and the cars on fire and he heads the keys
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: on it.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is ten dollars for valet parking. It seems
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: pretty cheap.
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: We're getting a lot of good When when did this
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: episode are that's ninety seven. Yeah, we're getting a lot
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: of good nineties prices in this, because when x con
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: Security comes in and says like, we can do this
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: to your windows for five hundred bucks, I'm.
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: Like, what a what a deal? Even from x Consecurity,
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: you're getting a bar. I was like, that's pretty cheap.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: It was like, I can't afford that. I'm like, huh.
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: In the sense that we were looking to you as
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: the exemplar of middle class.
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: Living and the bargain, the bargain of units to get
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: a product that seals your windows completely, it means you
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: can't breathe.
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, the suffocation one, all right. Final one for
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: me is what's the address of Patty and Summer? What
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: room number are they?
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: Oh? Are they? Is it ten?
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: No, it's fifteen ninety nine. That might have been Marge's
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: room maybe at the at the hotel. Oh yes, by
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: the way, shout out to the Sleep Easy motel.
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: It's a great visual gag and everyone knows it. But
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: the light's blinking at the Sleep Easy and it becomes sleazy.
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure the Sleep Easy Motel has been mentioned before,
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: and I wonder if they've actually used that gag before
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: it feels familiar, like the title of a hotel used
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: purely because they want to get that gag absolutely. All right, well,
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: let's get our skimming through of the episode. So original
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: edit of the episode was November two, nineteen ninety seven,
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: written by John Swartswater, directed by Pete Michael's chopboard gag.
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: Everyone is tired of that Richard Gear story. You want
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: to tell what the Richard Gear story is? Even everyone's
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: a really tired of it.
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: The Richard Gear story is apparently, when Richard Gear was
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: a young footlost and fancy free and looking for shall
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: we say, sexual thrills.
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: Part of those sexual thrills might.
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: Have involved a Gerbil going somewhere a Gerbil shouldn't. This
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: story was apparently spread by Sylvester Stallone. This is a rumor, allegedly,
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: just allegedly.
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: It's a rumor that Silvista Stallone spread it or the.
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's Stallone spread it because he had beef
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: with Richard Gear back in the day. Apparently they were
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: like sort of strangely enough going up for the same parts.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: And so it's just bizarre enough where you're like, fuck,
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: it might.
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: Be real Hollywood in the seventies could have been everyone's
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: coaked up. It could be doing just better and it
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: just gained legs over time. Well yeah, and yeah, everyone
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: saw that Richard Giarsory, especially Richard gear not to mention
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: the gerbil.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: Yes and the cash gag. Everyone has their backsides on fire.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: They run into the captures that has water in it
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: and it puts out to the puts out the fire.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: So the episode kicks off with the ad that you
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: mentioned earlier, Ray, the Continental Soccer Association. It's got fast kicking,
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: low scoring and tires. You bet. And let's just discuss
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: the perception of soccer because never admitted that they didn't
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: really know all too much. And apparently I think it's
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: the referee. Maybe the referee the design of him is
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: the janitor at the Simpsons studios who basically told the
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: director everything he knows about soccer, so you can actually
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: design it. I mean, this is not so. This is
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: thirty years ago, right, and even in Australia. I'm not
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: too sure what it was like in New Zealand. But
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: soccer just was not a big sport and it's getting
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: it's getting more popular here. It's still know when in
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: the level of our homegrown sports. But it's growing. Of course,
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: the Matilda's got a lot to do with that soccer
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: reason and whatnot. But in America it's also growing slightly,
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: but it's never going to be on the level of
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: their sports. But it just coming out of this, did
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: you feel like they was just taking the piss out
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: of soccer?
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: I think there's no other way to look at it.
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: There's no one.
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: What I'm thinking is I think they're really tickled by
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: the economy of what you see on the field, or
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: what you frequently see on the field, which is a lot, yeah,
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: a fair bit of passing. Yeah, it's it's not exactly
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: grid iron crashing.
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: Into one another.
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: It's not modernday Gladiator or something like that. But your
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: contrast that with the extreme enthusiasm that some commentators will
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: have and as they demonstrated.
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: So great that moment he passes, it's holds it hold?
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: How are you excited to buy? But that that moment
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: there was Brockman and I'm gonna say the Spanish commentator,
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: maybe it is like the perfect just encapsulation of what
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: it's like for a non soccer fan watching soccer. It's
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: like how are you this excited over this? That's the
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: thing for many sports though, if you don't understand the rules,
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: then you just don't understand what you watching it. I'm
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: sure I don't understand the rules of soccer and football
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: for other our UK listeners. If I understood the rules,
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: I'll probably enjoy it more. But still we always fall
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: back in the mill old draw. What's the point?
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: I don't know when I went on watching like NRL
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: or something. I mean, I've only watched a few NRL games.
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: It's like you could put a gun to my head
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: and I could not explain the rules of this game.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, you had to turn down a career as
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: a professional footballer for philosophy, right, right? Is that what happened?
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: I actually did. I actually did do soccer when I
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: was a kid. But even still I couldn't explain the
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: rules to you, Like I just I just don't know
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: sports at all, which I wonder is why it This
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: bit appeals to me so much because obviously they knew
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: very little about soccer as well. Apart from they knew
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: it was seemed to be a boring game to watch,
• 41:48
  Speaker 4: but the fans' passion was exceedingly high and the commentator.
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: The commentators. There's another gig from this episode that really
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: stuck with me, and I think was even in my
• 42:02
  Speaker 4: like in the school yard and stuff, like other kids
• 42:04
  Speaker 4: would say, you know, holds it, holds it, you know.
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: I think the immediate contrast between King Brockman and the
• 42:11
  Speaker 4: other guy, you could their jokes under. Kids can understand
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: that this idea that the yeah that that King Brockman
• 42:20
  Speaker 4: so so bored of this other guys. I think he's
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: watching the best game of his life.
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: I remember when I was a kid too, there was
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: always a perception of if you played soccer, it's because
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: you were too soft to play contact sports.
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: It was just like, oh, you played soccer, you're not
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: tough enough to play football. I was like, oh, I
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: didn't play I didn't play soccer. Anybody. I was like,
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: go easy. And those kids, I mean, they don't want
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: to get tackle.
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: That probably don't want CT.
• 42:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm willing to put my hands up. I was
• 42:46
  Speaker 4: too soft to play football, but you were on soccer.
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: You were hardcoreing up for philosophy, Yes, exactly.

• 43:24
  Speaker 2: difficulties to come with being Like when you're doing a debate,
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: like do you have any fears like being mid debate
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: not being able to come up with a response like
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: do you Did you ever have moments like that?
• 43:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah? Obviously as a philosophy you can sustain a lot
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: of injuries. You know, hit ache, something bit on the
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: tip of your tongue and you can't call.
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: It injuries to your in a soul.
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you never. So in philosophy, listen to classes, you
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: wouldn't do debates so much like I mean, you wouldn't
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: have arguments, but also in quite like structured debates where
• 43:54
  Speaker 4: you know there's set of set of teams on either
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: side arguing and stuff. When I used to run tutorials,
• 43:59
  Speaker 4: I would some times do that to try to force
• 44:01
  Speaker 4: the kids to adopt positions they didn't necessarily agree with
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: and stuff. But it's more what's the words, it's more
• 44:09
  Speaker 4: gentle than that. So even in the philosophy class, I
• 44:13
  Speaker 4: wasn't doing the extremes of debating. I was I was
• 44:16
  Speaker 4: too soft for that.
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: Are you more sort of nudging towards a consensus or
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: a common ground or yeah?
• 44:22
  Speaker 4: I guess well it's more yeah, not necessarily a consensus
• 44:25
  Speaker 4: because you know, depends on the class size. And also
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: you would never ever get agreement amongst everyone because people
• 44:31
  Speaker 4: just have different opinions and different base intuitions about the thing.
• 44:36
  Speaker 4: But it was a lot of like, you know, especially
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: an ethic to be something like you know, a professor
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: would present an idea and someone would say, oh, well
• 44:44
  Speaker 4: that's wrong because of this, and then the professor would
• 44:46
  Speaker 4: you know, present a counter example, and then you know,
• 44:49
  Speaker 4: someone else would have to try and reply on stuff,
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: and and.
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: Usual I think, I am.
• 44:59
  Speaker 4: How do you do?
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: You? You have to approach it differently when you said, sometimes
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: you give your students they have to make an argument
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: for something they don't actually believe, is what they truly believe, Like,
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: did you have that moment where you have to you
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: have to make an argument for something that you didn't
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: actually agree with. How do you approach that differently?
• 45:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm trying to remember. I mean I would have
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: had to in classes and things like that. But normally
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: in philosophy, I guess the essays you end up writing it's,
• 45:23
  Speaker 4: you know, pick a position or pick someone pick a
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: topic and write you know, what you think about it
• 45:28
  Speaker 4: and stuff. But often ye was you'd have to try
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: and carefully think about your opponent's position and then try
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: and sort of detail why it's wrong or why they
• 45:37
  Speaker 4: were committed to some sort of a logical thing that
• 45:40
  Speaker 4: they then they really should be embarrassed to believe and stuff.
• 45:44
  Speaker 4: But yeah, I felt like a big well, I mean,
• 45:47
  Speaker 4: I personally felt like an important part of the class
• 45:49
  Speaker 4: was making sure you're aware of what people you disagree
• 45:53
  Speaker 4: with thought and and why, and being able to understand
• 45:59
  Speaker 4: why they thought that or and to critique them properly,
• 46:02
  Speaker 4: you know, don't straw man them, don't misrepresent their position.
• 46:07
  Speaker 4: And then another big issue that I noticed this is
• 46:10
  Speaker 4: getting deep in the weeds of philosophy class now, but
• 46:13
  Speaker 4: you know, like for example, it's why people tune in
• 46:18
  Speaker 4: people come to the Simpsons podcast to listen to in
• 46:21
  Speaker 4: depth discussions about what a Wellington philosophy tutorials.
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: Were like, keep going please, But.
• 46:29
  Speaker 4: There I distinctly remember, at least with my first year students.
• 46:32
  Speaker 4: You know, we'd be say, we're discussing a topic like abortion.
• 46:35
  Speaker 4: I remember we discussed three different philosophers and all of
• 46:39
  Speaker 4: them had different arguments, but in I guess in support
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: of the what you'd call the pro choice position. I suppose,
• 46:45
  Speaker 4: or they thought abortion was morally permissible. But they all
• 46:48
  Speaker 4: had very different reasons why, and they would all disagree
• 46:52
  Speaker 4: with each other, and you know, they had very fundamentally
• 46:55
  Speaker 4: different outlooks and disagree and often the students were very
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: bad at being like it's very easy to just be like, oh,
• 47:01
  Speaker 4: they all agree, so it must all be the same,
• 47:03
  Speaker 4: or you'd have to be like, oh no, no, no, no, no,
• 47:05
  Speaker 4: these three people hate each other. It just so happens
• 47:09
  Speaker 4: they've arrived at the same conclusion. And there was there's
• 47:11
  Speaker 4: a lot of things that you know, understand the reasoning
• 47:14
  Speaker 4: it how someone got to a position.
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, as a possible mage, I'm going to ask you
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: this one question. Then, Now, when did the Simpsons Golden
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: era through the end.
• 47:24
  Speaker 4: That's a good that's a good question. I think it
• 47:27
  Speaker 4: is end of season nine. I think I think season
• 47:30
  Speaker 4: ten is when it starts to produce more episodes of
• 47:35
  Speaker 4: maybe lower quality than high. I think I think it's
• 47:39
  Speaker 4: I think it's season ten. It's season ten, the one
• 47:42
  Speaker 4: where they were Homer crash lands in Alec Baldwin's house.
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: That sounds like it's a season ten one.
• 47:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Yeah, Okay, then I think I might. Yeah,
• 47:50
  Speaker 4: I'm standing by the by my position.
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: That's the Ron Howard gag at the end there again, So.
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, your your argument is fundamentally flawed, morally, ethically, intellectually bankrupt.
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: You're right. I do feel like that's the point where
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: the show went from consistently just like Banger Banger Banger two,
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: oh good moments throughout the episodes, but not overall a
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: really entertaining episode.
• 48:19
  Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, And I mean i'd have to. I mean,
• 48:22
  Speaker 4: when I was doing my rewatch, I did stop at nine.
• 48:25
  Speaker 4: And I think the only reason I can remember that
• 48:27
  Speaker 4: is I think I must have watched one or two
• 48:29
  Speaker 4: episodes of season ten on a plane or something and
• 48:32
  Speaker 4: be like, oh, okay, something's something's happened to here something.
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: Well, they did change the direction of the show. Mike
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: Scaley took over in season nine. He basically just he
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: took the approach of this is your work day, so
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: you can go home at five o'clock and see your
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: families for dinner, where it used to be No, you
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: guys are staying here until we get the right fucking
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: joke going home. You're going to live in this writer's room.
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: And he made a more balanced work life, which was
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: great for the writers, but I feel like the Simpson's
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: quality suffered as a result. But he also changed the direction.
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: That's where Joe Assomer was born. It was just becoming
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: a bit of an idiot, became more of a cartoon.
• 49:05
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes, I justtinctly remember they're listened. There's a lot
• 49:10
  Speaker 4: of TV shows like that. Like I think Dan Harmon
• 49:12
  Speaker 4: on Community would run his riders late and late into
• 49:15
  Speaker 4: the night and everyone just be stuck in the writer's
• 49:18
  Speaker 4: room and he'd feel guilty and he'd be like, the
• 49:20
  Speaker 4: show has to be really, really good because I know
• 49:23
  Speaker 4: all the writers of Glee are going home at five
• 49:25
  Speaker 4: to see their families. I need to make sure that's
• 49:28
  Speaker 4: the thing.
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the more tyrannical show runners and all the more
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: driven creative people tend to be, often to the detriment
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: of their personal lives. It's a sad thing. But yeah,
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: often the quality of their material.
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: Can to be a bit better. Yes, and that's not always.
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: The case, but I think you'll find maybe more often
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: than not, that it is the case.
• 49:48
  Speaker 4: Yes, I didn't realize this. I didn't realize about the
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: tyrannical or the change and that there was a workplace
• 49:56
  Speaker 4: culture shifted and the Simpsons. I didn't realize that happened.
• 49:58
  Speaker 4: And I know people, I mean you guys have probably
• 50:02
  Speaker 4: discussed this to death, but I know there's currently a
• 50:05
  Speaker 4: debate emerging or a discussion emrgin that the Simpsons are
• 50:09
  Speaker 4: starting to get good again or there's become an uptick
• 50:12
  Speaker 4: and quality in the more recent seasons and have you guys.
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: We just threw out our We did the premiere or
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: review of the premiere of season thirty seven, which came
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: out about three weeks ago, and it's really good, pleasantly surprimed.
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: It's like, nothing's going to be on the level of
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: the first note three to nine seasons, right, not on
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: that level, So don't expect if you go in not
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: expecting that you'll be fine. But it's just they've they've
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: found the heart to the story again, more emotion to
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: the story, just for a good period there. We often
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: say are writing jokes and assigning it to a character
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: as opposed to writing a joke for a character. And
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: now it feels like they've really gone back to their
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: roots and they're all the jokes and all the stories
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: just feel true to who's saying the jokes, and just yeah,
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: the story is really entertaining and I really enjoyed it. Yeah.
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: So the last i'll say last two seas in particular,
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: I feel like they really started to sort of shift
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: back to the way things.
• 51:03
  Speaker 4: Were fantastic here. There was one there was one season.
• 51:06
  Speaker 4: I watched a couple of episodes, the one that it
• 51:08
  Speaker 4: opens with Conan O'Brien hosting the Simpsons finale.
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: That was last year.
• 51:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there was last year. And then there was one
• 51:15
  Speaker 4: where Marge was anxious about school photo day. I wasn't
• 51:19
  Speaker 4: maybe not necessarily a super funny episode, but I remember
• 51:22
  Speaker 4: a head like I really enjoyed it. And then and
• 51:25
  Speaker 4: then they've done some I guess, more high conceved episodes
• 51:28
  Speaker 4: later on that I've been fond of, like the the
• 51:32
  Speaker 4: is it called the Serious Flanders The Yeah, the two parter,
• 51:35
  Speaker 4: which is a Fargo parody or whatever.
• 51:38
  Speaker 7: That.
• 51:39
  Speaker 4: Like, episodes like that I think are phenomenal.
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: And that's what they're doing more of now. So Matt Salmon,
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: who was now the showmoner of the show, he's big
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: on the format bending episodes like that, Like he was
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: a Trilogy of Error, the Linguo, Yeah, I love that one.
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: So so he's big on those kinds of episodes. And
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: now I reckon it's probably five or six a season
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: now where there's just you know, from the get go, okay,
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: this isn't going to be a normal episod. It's almost
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: like a non horror treos of horror. And he just
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: enjoyed it for what it is, and it's just a
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: lot more fun because after thirty seven years, they're running
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: out of ideas obviously. So yeah, but I am yeah,
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: season thirty seven of the PREMI yere I really enjoyed it.
• 52:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, wow, fantastic, Well you have they wouldn't be running
• 52:15
  Speaker 3: out of ideas because life has always changed, and that's
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: what we actually mentioned in that review.
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: It feels like they've shifted the timeline of The Simpsons
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: at the beginning of this season. So basically what happens
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: is Marge has the TV breaks. The TV breaks, now
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: she turns off the TV because there's too many commercials
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: on streaming, so she turns off the TV. So we're
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: getting the DVD's out, and she's busted the DVD's of
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: this old TV show that used to watch, and they
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: binge watch it and it's a Dawson's Creek parody. But
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: it's almost like the Simpsons a Margin Homer were teens
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: or growing up sorry in the nineties, so it's almost
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: like now, if my kids are watching it, that makes
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: timeline sense wise because Margin Homer and my age and
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: I grew up in the nineties. So Margin Homer now
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: in Cannon grew up in the nineties because when I
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: was watching as a kid in the nineties, Margin Homer
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: and my parents age who grew up in the seventies.
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: So now it's almost like they've shifted the timeline twenty
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: years forward. So that makes more sense for younger view
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: It's almost like they've just recreated the show again. It's
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: it's really interesting.
• 53:08
  Speaker 4: Oh great, great, Yeah, so I do. I mean, maybe
• 53:11
  Speaker 4: I'm just stuck in my ways. But the idea of
• 53:14
  Speaker 4: seeing Lisa and Bard and stuff with iPods and you know,
• 53:18
  Speaker 4: then we're using smartphones and stuff. It always seems so
• 53:22
  Speaker 4: off off to me. But I know you need it.
• 53:24
  Speaker 4: They need it. They've always had a floating timeline to
• 53:26
  Speaker 4: keep up with modern events, but it always just SIPs
• 53:28
  Speaker 4: so bizarre.
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, one thing we also touched on in that
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: episode in particular, was when I used to have iPods
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: and things like that. They made it a joke, like
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: it's my point, and they made it like a thing like,
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: well look at look where we're hip. Where we're with
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: it with current technology. But they use current technology in
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: this new episode. But it wasn't the gag. It was
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: just that were just using it. That's what That's what
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: kids use now. It's not a joke. It's just they
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: get out their phones and they get at this, and
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: it's like, oh, this just feels like kids in twenty
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: twenty five.
• 53:54
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 53:55
  Speaker 3: I think it's a lesson that we've learned as we've
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: sort of progressed in the twenty first century and realized
• 53:59
  Speaker 3: that okay, look, tech is part of our lives. Is
• 54:01
  Speaker 3: always going to be some new gadget, some new device
• 54:03
  Speaker 3: rather than go the internet. Yeah, I mean, yeah, yes, yes,
• 54:09
  Speaker 3: I mean not five years now, five minutes from now
• 54:11
  Speaker 3: going to look like a chump, so you might as
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: well just yeah, just incorporated into the storyline is like,
• 54:15
  Speaker 3: this is the way we operate now, and if you know,
• 54:17
  Speaker 3: ten years from now, people go, remember we used to
• 54:19
  Speaker 3: have that thing where we trace our kids using our phones,
• 54:22
  Speaker 3: Like yeah, sure that's what happened, you know, But when
• 54:25
  Speaker 3: we're not saying, check out this whacky new device. Wow,
• 54:28
  Speaker 3: how wild is it? Living in the future. That's ridiculous.
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: It's the same with comedy too. You have to change
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: your approach in the way you promote your shows. You
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: Social media is a big thing now. That's probably the
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: biggest tool now for marketing new shows, right.
• 54:38
  Speaker 4: Yes, one hundred percent, yeah, yeah, yes, And I mean
• 54:40
  Speaker 4: speak yourself.
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: I've got a very nice handwritten letter from racing coming
• 54:43
  Speaker 3: to John.
• 54:45
  Speaker 4: Tell your friends personal flyers, I'm startings. I've got pigeons
• 54:49
  Speaker 4: carrying notes, you know, yeah, one hundred percent. And I mean,
• 54:56
  Speaker 4: you know, old comedian or commedians from previous generations, so
• 54:59
  Speaker 4: I really respect you know, they obviously hate social media,
• 55:02
  Speaker 4: and we all hate social media to an extent. But unfortunately,
• 55:06
  Speaker 4: refusing to go on social media or doing any kind
• 55:09
  Speaker 4: of marketing through social media would be the same as
• 55:12
  Speaker 4: you know, refusing to appear on a radio show back
• 55:15
  Speaker 4: in the fifties or whatever, or refusing to appear on
• 55:18
  Speaker 4: TV in the nineties, and they were all willing to
• 55:20
  Speaker 4: do that, and there's just social media has now replaced
• 55:23
  Speaker 4: that or usurped it, you know, there's no more what's
• 55:26
  Speaker 4: my line for me to hit me to appear.
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: On Yeah, Well, like a handgun ray, social media is
• 55:31
  Speaker 3: a tool that can be used a good or.
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: Bad, nice segway, So back to.
• 55:40
  Speaker 7: That.
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: Basically, here, what happens is they all bought it the
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: soccer and they realized quickly they don't understand what's going on,
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: and then nothing's happening to them, and a riot breaks out.
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: Just their way of saying, riots breakout soccer all the time.
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: That's a known thing, like soccer riots, and they break
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: out because they're bored, That's what they're basically saying here.
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: And I really liked in the riot that doctor Hibbittt
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: was beating up doctor Nie.
• 56:00
  Speaker 4: So I noticed that.
• 56:03
  Speaker 3: Legitimate medicine beats junk medicine.
• 56:06
  Speaker 4: It's so funny that the ride begins because they're all
• 56:09
  Speaker 4: trying to exit, and n is so worried. There's plenty
• 56:12
  Speaker 4: of exits for everyone else.
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: I particularly also like just when they were board, it's
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: just quiet, and his home is the abnoxiou jet. The
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: standard boring.
• 56:26
  Speaker 7: Half back passes to the center, back to the wing,
• 56:30
  Speaker 7: back to the center center, holds it, holds it.
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: Holds it, half.
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: Buck bassist, center back, the wing back to center, center
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: holds it holds it holds it.
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: So everyone leaves as you're saying, I love the guy
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: with the valet picks up his carp as everyone the
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: whole place is falling apart.
• 56:54
  Speaker 4: Sorry, that's another great gag that's just about to come
• 56:56
  Speaker 4: with where Kim Brockmans is May Quimby I made quimbly,
• 57:01
  Speaker 4: swiftly to.
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: Clear every family for themselves.
• 57:15
  Speaker 4: Such good, right, I mean, that's and that is the
• 57:17
  Speaker 4: yea what I love in comedies. And I think with
• 57:21
  Speaker 4: the rise in dramatis, you're sadly seeing fear and fear
• 57:23
  Speaker 4: of it. But I just love a comedy where every
• 57:26
  Speaker 4: line they've squeezed a gag and every every vision there's
• 57:29
  Speaker 4: like a little bit of a joke or something, you know,
• 57:31
  Speaker 4: and they're just, you know, worked, they've clearly worked so
• 57:34
  Speaker 4: so hard to make every moment of the show super
• 57:36
  Speaker 4: super funny.
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And we were viewing season twenty one of the
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: shot at the moment, we're going through in order and
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: we get to some lines and we go, that's fine,
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: but it feels like there could have been a joke there. Yeah,
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: but you just either a time where you couldn't be bothered,
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: and he feels like, this is season seven, there would
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: have been two jokes here in this one line, even
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: to squeeze in.
• 57:56
  Speaker 3: I don't think it's exact music because they've used it
• 57:59
  Speaker 3: on more than one occasion, but the mock time Star Trek,
• 58:04
  Speaker 3: they don't quite have it during the during the soccer ride,
• 58:07
  Speaker 3: but it's close enough that you go, I've.
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: Used it before.
• 58:10
  Speaker 3: This is just you know, short this usually chaos. Yeah,
• 58:12
  Speaker 3: shortham for chaos.
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah. But yeah, so he said it's mobile. As we're saying,
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: Home says he's got his own alarm system and it's
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: just the fish. Much like watch the fish. Someone someone's
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: trying to break it, Just watch the fish.
• 58:29
  Speaker 4: I was lucky at that. Trying to figure out what
• 58:31
  Speaker 4: it could have. I was like, there's like it's it's
• 58:37
  Speaker 4: really cleverly designed. Shout out to whover drew it. And
• 58:40
  Speaker 4: you know designed it because there's the alarm clock, so
• 58:42
  Speaker 4: you're like, so there's like an element of it where
• 58:44
  Speaker 4: you're like, okay, there is an alarm here, so.
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: It's meant to be alarming, and that someone at the door,
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: they're already aware. Just watch the fish though. The next day,
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: ex con hope security from the big House to your house.
• 58:58
  Speaker 2: He's arrived and he's going to try and them a
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: security system, and he's saying, you're just stealing Shit's a cigarette,
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: takes TV, not the TV, just the TV remote. It
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: just has to steal something. But he's basically just saying
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: that you can't put a price on your kids, on
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: your family safety, you've got I think it's a loose
• 59:15
  Speaker 2: sight you're going to put around the windows and stuff
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: occasionally see them in here. And Homer's like, we'll take it,
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: but unfortunate it's five hundred dollars, so we can't afford it,
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: and just throws him out, and surely you can put
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: a price in your family's lives. Yeah, well I thought
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: so I would have thought it, but.
• 59:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we Yeah, it's another grade. Homer interacting with a
• 59:29
  Speaker 4: handy man on his front door set is the one.
• 59:31
  Speaker 4: Maybe it's when the basement floods and it's just a
• 59:34
  Speaker 4: simple fifty cent or fifty cents bolesorn up that he
• 59:39
  Speaker 4: needs to screw it, and he goes, no, no, no
• 59:41
  Speaker 4: can upsell me because I've got I'll just go grab
• 59:45
  Speaker 4: it for yourself.
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: That's the that's the stone Cutter episode. And then and
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: then it turns out the guy who just like turned
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: you stone cut I'll fix it for you. Marge's worried.
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: He says, we need protection. Homer says, I guarantee protection.
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: Cut to him at Blood barb and Beyond. He's going
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: to get himself a gun. And I was six next
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: to the sympathy card.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 3: Not just any gun. You're deadliest gun.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: Nobody says you dead this gun. Yes. So he come
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 2: back from commercial and Homer he's got the point of
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: view point in the gun. So it's twice in the
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: episode he's pointing the gun directly the camera turns it
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: to Wise Guy and pulls the trigger like several times,
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: like did he know it wasn't loaded. It's not just
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: it's like he tries to annihilight this man.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 3: Oh god, sorry, I got little nerdy cyber. This reminded
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 3: me of something. I was watching this documentary on the
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 3: weekend called Mister Scorsese.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: I saw yeh tweet about it a few times.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 3: Fantastic doc. I highly recommended. But of course he's the
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 3: director of Taxi Driver. I remembering this anecdote about Paul Trader,
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 3: the writer a Taxi Driver. Now this was either before
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 3: they made the movie just afterwards, but like went to
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 3: a gun store in Beverly Hills, got his hands on
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 3: a little handgun and he sort of he's just waving
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 3: it around in the shop, like putting people in his sights,
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 3: and all the people that were like if anyone should
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 3: not own a gun, it's this man, right, It's like
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 3: the writer of Taxi Driver.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 2: I wonder if the Simpsons Swatsworld knew that. Oh god,
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: it's just it's the pull go easy there and the
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: ugly who was a apparently famous sharpshooter from Buffalo Bills
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: whild West in the eighteen hundred. Yeah that's right, yeah, yeah.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 4: Trick shot. Yeah, she's a constant reference. I watched the
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 4: TV show Jippardy and she's a constant answer and the
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 4: very big in the American education system. She must maybe any.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 3: We're not learning the ABC's, but we learn the ant.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe any get your gun? That might be oh.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay. Anyway, So Jeopardy, what's what's the like of
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: the new host? Now? Is it the same to be?
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: My wife and I big fans of Wheel of Fortune?
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: Call me crazy?
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: And then they changed the host and I'm like, it
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: just doesn't feel the same anymore.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 4: From Pep to Ryan Seacrest.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: He's not Pat Sajag.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Tribec's not hosting Jeopardy anymore.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 4: By the way, is okay?
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: So I get I've told you three times he's dead.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 4: I didn't even know he was sick.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 3: Gameshow wonnans who are no longer alive for two hundred dollars.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 4: So I started watching after the Tripic era, So I
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 4: really yah? Wow, So I haven't I never got to
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 4: I guess get used to him. But obviously his stature
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 4: looms and he was obviously very good. But I do
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 4: think the current host, King Jennings, who's a former Jeopardy champion,
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 4: current game show champion and a mirror or you know,
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 4: he's got a record. We've got one of the records
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 4: for winning the most money and game show history. Anyway,
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 4: he's very good at noses stuff.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: So you're like a you're like a kid saying I
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: only watched season thirty one with that golden era, the
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: era of Jeopardy with it only post movie for me,
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: thanks the rest of that.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, ask you questions about the nineties now, whereas I
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 4: should go back to the nineties and watched the watch
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 4: the Usk question.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: What's your thoughts on the Simpsons getting a second movie?
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: Do you have memories of the first movie when it
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: came out?
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 4: Yes, very yeah, very distinct movies. I remember I had
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 4: a friend who wasn't allowed to go, and his parents
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 4: or his host family rather made him go and watch
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 4: Amazing Grace, the anti slavery film instead.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 2: He wasn't allowed to you how old was he at
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 2: the time.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 4: It was, yeah, my age, so that's yeah, well we
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 4: were in high school. Yeah, so we were Yeah, I
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 4: mean the rest of us with no parental guardians.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 3: So you're going to be warped by an animated penis?
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 4: Yes, I remember that. I remember that was like a
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 4: huge like that was crazy. I think that, I guess
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 4: because it had been such a it was a kind
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 4: of a trope in the Simpsons before that they would always,
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 4: you know, whenever a character was naked, that always so
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 4: carefully hide the.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: Full front of you the bum some powers of that ship.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 4: Yah, yes, exactly. But then in the movie just just
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 4: suddenly they just were like for our hot stick.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: And Wang a child's waging too, So you're like, it's funny,
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: but it's like also awkward. I'm living out of ten
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: year old's will you what are we doing here?
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah? I remember, I remember loving it, and I don't
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 4: know how. I think I've only ever really watched it
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 4: once since then, so I don't I can't really comment
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 4: on it, but I remember really really enjoying it. I
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 4: remember the gag right at the start where Homer stands
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 4: up and says, hey, we're watching a movie of a
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 4: TV show we could be at home watching for free
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 4: or you know that's.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was it was a giant sucker, including you.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Ray, just so you know, Ray, we are clipping
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 3: that bit where Dano said and by the way, it's
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 3: a ten year old's penis and you're saying, yeah, I
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 3: really like that, So I hope you' enjoying your cancelation, buddy.

• 1:05:16
  Speaker 2: the family driving to the cinema for the premiere night
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: of a new movie, and Bart says on the way,
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 2: I think of all these jerks that are waiting for
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: three days to watch it for free on streaming, and
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: they slam the braakes, turn around and go home again.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: It's a very similar game.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah great, but yeah, I'm I'm looking forward to it.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 4: Like again, it sounds like the Simpsons are sort of
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 4: having a renaissance. I guess you'd say they're improving. And
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 4: then for something like a movie. I do think they'll
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 4: try and bring the A game and bring you know, rewrite,
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 4: and so I'm I'm positively predisposed. And even the fact
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 4: that they've waited this long makes me, I don't know,
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 4: it does so, I mean sometimes then whening that long
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 4: makes it seem like it's gonna be even more of
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 4: a shameless cash grab and they're just but I don't know.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 4: I feel like, I don't know. They brought the A
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 4: game for the Simpsons movie, and I think they produced
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 4: a really fun movie at a time when the show
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 4: maybe wasn't at its peak, and now that the show's
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 4: improving and they're going to do another movie, and I
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 4: feel like the way people are talking now about the
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 4: Simpsons is it could be its last hurrah. Like people
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 4: are saying, maybe after this four season renewal, the show
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 4: might end, so you know, this could be you know,
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 4: this last big moment. So yeah, hopefully they stick the landing.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 2: Call me crazy, I've got a theory for this new
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 2: renaissance of the Simpsons, right, So, for the longest time,
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: because you're big in the Simpsons mean groups, you're aware
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 2: that their mentality is new Simpsons.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 4: Shit.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: Oh Simpson's good. Right now, A lot of people are saying,
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 2: you know what, new Simpsons an't so bad? Ye know, well, whatever,
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 2: it's fine. I think what's happened is we grew up
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 2: with the show. We stopped watching the show. A lot
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: of people stopped watching the show, and then even though
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: they weren't watching it, they were just saying it's bad,
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 2: even though they weren't actually watching it. And then these
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 2: people got older and they got married and they had kids,
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: and then they wanted to introduce their kids to the Simpsons,
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: and they introduced them to the Golden episodes, a Golden
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 2: Episodes and whatnot. And then these kids, like my kids
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: went what are the new Ones? And they put on
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 2: the new ones and these people who for all this
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: time were saying new Ones are no good, actually sat
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 2: down and watched the new Ones with their kids and
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 2: see their kids enjoying it, and they finally realized, oh shit,
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 2: wait a minute, these new episodes are for the kids,
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: not for me. And they've finally realized, oh, maybe they're
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: not so bad. And that's what's happened.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 4: Yes, one hundred percent. And I do think while I
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 4: met there's a droppn quality. I think, ye, the way
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 4: some people talk about the dropping quality online is quite extreme,
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 4: but I do still think, you know, it is still
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 4: the Simpsons, and it is still a bitter than what
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 4: a lot of others sitcoms on TV, you know, like
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 4: even I mean, I mean, well, there are some really
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 4: trashy episodes of the Simpsons, but like, you know, an average,
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 4: you know, mid tier Simpsons episode is still going to
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 4: be a lot better than you.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: Know, some man standing exactly, yeah.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 4: Exactly, some of the gunk that you know, you just
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 4: almost make that tim Ellen Grum.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: Just I've been known to an occasion, I mean, I'm
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 2: a fantasy amount and I watch one of these what
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: these new show was, Shifting Gears. I've got like two
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: episodes in. I was like, ah, this is just mate exactly.
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 2: And the Simpsons, I don't think has ever truly been
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: that bad, you know.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 4: So that's all.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, that's just my theory that the people
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 2: have gotten old, have had kids, and then realize, oh
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 2: wait a minute, now I can enjoy the show with
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 2: my kids, enjoy the show again.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 4: And I think that a Simpson, a seeking Simpsons movie
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 4: is big enough that they're going to really really try
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 4: and make it good, and it seems that there's a
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 4: chance that it could be the show's swan song, so
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 4: they'll really try, you know, go out on a high.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 4: That's I'm feeling optimistic. I don't know about you, guys,
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 4: I'm seeing some skepticism.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 2: Or personally, I feelt the Simpsons will never stop. It'll
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 2: still exist in some way. They're already starting to implement
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 2: Disney Plus specials, so Disney Plus exclusive episodes, so now
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 2: the seasons are actually shorter. I think this season's only
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: going to be seventeen episodes on TV, but there's like
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 2: two or three that are going to be excluici for
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 2: Disney Plus. So I think they're just testing the waters here,
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: and I think eventually it'll just be a Disney Plus
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: show because it's sill one of the most watch shows
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 2: on Disney Plus, and obviously that streaming service has been
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 2: Disney Plus making the show far more accessible has also
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: played a big role in helping the show find a
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: new audience as well.
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 4: Yes, I also think there's something so funny in the
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 4: fact that The Simpsons keeps skitting renewed long beyond the
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 4: time that anyone thought it was good. Like that that's
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 4: inherently a very funny thing that keeps happening. Like every
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 4: year I see this news that the show's been renewed,
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 4: and that I find hilarious, and there's like a cosmic
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 4: there's like it's, you know, not a joke necessarily by
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 4: the Simpsons, but there's some sort of cosmic joke about
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 4: the Simpsons. And so I enjoy that it keeps skintting renewed,
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 4: and I hope that it never ends.
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 2: That's why I think it's like season thirteen or season fourteen.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 2: They had to have no fear. We've got stories for
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 2: years clip shows like that. That was like twenty years ago.
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 2: That episode, right.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 4: God, I don't know if it's the same one, but
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 4: where Troy McClure comes out and says, you know, and
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 4: Mary Williams after Williams after Williams, and let's selma marry
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 4: in itchy and.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 7: HM, whoa careful there, any Oakley?
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: I don't have to be careful. I got a gun.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 7: Well you probably want the accessory, kid Holster. Oh yeah,
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 7: BENDOLIU babe silent soup louder Now speed Cocker would like
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 7: to sound to that. And this is for shooting down
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 7: police helicopters.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: Oh, I don't need anything like that. Ye, just give
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: me my gun.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 7: Sorry, the law requires a five day waiting period. We've
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 7: got to run a background check five days.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: But I'm mad, now kill you if I had my gun.
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well you don't.
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 3: Whyse guys always got to come back, ye ladies.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 2: Mumbling to himself, he's just he's angry at life right now.
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 2: It's just cracky. He's down the hallway, three am, Lisa
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: is I can be quiet, mud, kick me out, push
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 2: the kids and they can tell her to do in
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: my own house. Then Homer's about waiting at the front.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 2: And this is a really memorable time, like everyone remembers
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 2: this one. So he's sitting at the front with his
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: ammo over in his belt, waiting for the chance to
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 2: have his gun, and all these things go past it.
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 2: He would love to shoot. So it starts off with
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 2: the target departments, the target truck. We've got a family
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 2: of ducks, some rabbits, Patty and Salm would go pass
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 2: on the bike, and then Flanders goes past on his
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: right arm mow.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 3: But it's now time, by the way, all to the
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 3: tune of Tom Pitty and the Heartbreakers, the Waiting my
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 3: favorite TP and the Heartbreaking song.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 3: Wow, I just love it when the song is well,
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 3: when a song I like is deployed, when it's deployed
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 3: perfectly like this, like it is here thematically, and yeah,
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 3: love it, love it.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 4: I looked it up online and I saw that he
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 4: Tom Pitty very rarely grants the use of his music,
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 4: but he's a fan of the Simpsons.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 2: So yeah, he was on the Simpsons.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Oh, really fantastic.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 2: Have you not seen the rock Camp episode with Mick
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 2: Jagger and Tom Petty and whatnot as it later on
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 2: maybe season fifteen, it's where it's a really good episode,
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: so Lenny Kravitz Homi goes to Rocks rock Camp and
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 2: it's got Lenny Kravitz, Jagger and Keith Keith's It's really good.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 4: Yes, that's fantastic. I always remember that Bob Dylan. Bob
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 4: Dylan turned down playing the Coyote and Homer's and then
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 4: and because he, I don't know, doesn't want to do
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 4: some TV show whatever, and then he agreed to appear
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 4: and I was it some sort of Coca collar ad
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 4: in the Super Bowl where he sort of praised Amera
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 4: Karna and talked about how great a miracle was, and
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 4: I remember being so mad and that he'd appear in
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 4: this random, awful coke ad but turned down. One of
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 4: the great episodes of The Simpsons anyway.
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: That we got Johnny Cash instead.
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 4: Johnny Cash was great.
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 2: You know why that was the case?
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 4: Ray?
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 3: What's that big fat bag with the dolls?
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 2: Works every time? It's like, you haven't a bag. I
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 2: don't want to draw a dollar symbol on it.
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 4: You don't say it moved me to a house?
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 2: So good? But yeah, So he arrives as soon as
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 2: they open. He looks all excited to get into the store,
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 2: but it's actually because he wants to use the toilet.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: And then they say he's got a background check. You've
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: been to a mental institution, frequent problems with alcohol, You
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 2: beat a former president, former President Bush, and he stamped
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 2: as potentially dangerous. Now I don't worry, which means you're
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 2: limited to three handguns? Still fine, yes, three hand guns
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 2: or less. So then he walks inside. He says, Marjor,
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 2: you're surprised for you close your eyes. She opens up
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 2: and she has a gun pointed in her face. This
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 2: is the trigger and this is the thing you point out,
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 2: whatever you wanted to tail. I'm glad that mar she's
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 2: stuck very true to her character. And at the end
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 2: of the nice little rud Pool where she actually likes
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: the gun, but it's just it's very much from the
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 2: go to watch she's like, I don't want guns in
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 2: my house, and you think Homer comes across poorly like
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 2: a bad husband. Even at the end here at Tech
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 2: the gun away. I won't be able to. But it's
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 2: almost like an added isn't it an addict acknowledging I
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 2: don't I'm not strong enough help me.
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 3: I think that's what the episode does really well, is
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 3: it recognizes the allure. Yeah, I mean, and look, America
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 3: is complicit in this in a lot of ways because
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 3: you know, so much of its entertainment is based around,
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 3: you know what, what's the only thing to stop a
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 3: bad man with a gun? Good man with a gun.
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 3: It's been sort of a drilled in from the from
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 3: the get go.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, I feel like Homer is the confision there
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 4: and sort of like, yeah, him and that in his weakness,
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 4: So that feels there, feels okay, that part where it's
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 4: like take this away, you know, like he is still
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 4: saying I want to do right by you, but he
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 4: just knows he can't. But up until that point, he
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 4: has been a very bad Yeah.
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 3: I mean you think he sort of redeems himself with
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 3: a line near the end where you know, it's very
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 3: much the thesis line of the episode. So you know,
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 3: what's the point of having a gun for protection if
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 3: you've got no one to protect?
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 3: But yeah, even after that, he's still yeah, still a gun.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 2: Now, what are your thoughts on when they break the
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 2: fourth wall? So they acknowledge here that because she brings
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 2: up how Maggie one shot mister, and someone's like, oh,
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 2: well Smithers did it? Now that would have made more sense.
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 2: Are you a fan of these ones where acknowledging something
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 2: from within the show, within their own universe?
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 4: Yes, I think so. I don't. I don't mind it.
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 4: It didn't seem bizarre to me that when I was watching,
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 4: I think, and I don't mind a show doing that.
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 4: Like there are some well, I think so, I've watched
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 4: the television show at Glee, for example, and the writing
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 4: and Glee, especially towards the end, gets very sloppy. And
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 4: then what they will do is they'll kind of like
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 4: do a cheeky reference to be like, oh, I don't
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 4: I can't remember if I was doing this or that,
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 4: or you know, they they're sort of acknowledging the bad writing.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 4: But it's like, no, the writing was just always like
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 4: it's not funny to be like haha. I think there
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 4: was an inconsistency here. It's like, no, that you guys
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 4: just shouldn't have written it bad in the first place,
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 4: whereas I feel like The Simpsons is different. I feel
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 4: like the Simpsons kind of earns like I think they
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 4: earn being a bit cheeky about their writing about being like, oh, yeah,
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 4: we didn't do the obvious thing or whatever, like because
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 4: it wasn't. I don't. I don't think it was bad
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 4: writing at the time.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 2: Do you remember the Who Shot Mister Burns when it
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 2: first aired? Was it a big deal in New Zealand?
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 2: As a kid, h I may.
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 4: Have been too young to appreciate it, but I do
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 4: think I do recall there being ads about it, Like
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 4: I feel like I can remember being in my grandparents'
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 4: house and seeing ads about who shot Mister Boons and
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 4: stuff on TV.
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 2: I remember my dad had a bet my sister and
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 2: I we had a little notepad. We've watched part one.
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 2: We're going to work out who did it right. I
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 2: thought it smid that she thought it was somebody else.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 2: Can I quite remember? And my dad just goes, I reckon,
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 2: Maggie did it. And we're like, Daddy, as if, Maggie,
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 2: what are you doing? And it turns out I didn't
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 2: realize the later on we thought he was a genius
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: when he was actually right. I'm like, how do you
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 2: know any For years and years he was just like, well,
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 2: you know. I decided I had a good guess. I
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 2: thought the clues are all there, and I was like, wow.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: It turns out in Australia on one of the Triple
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 2: AM or Fox if IM or whatever, the guy in
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 2: the radio leaked it because we were like six months
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 2: behind in the show. So he has a joke goes, oh,
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: yeah it was the baby as a joke, got fired
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 2: from his job for doing it because it was such
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: a big deal. But my dad was listening to the radio,
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 2: got cheer gold and then and then that's what happens.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 2: That's how my dad knew. But for years my dad
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 2: put up this made it, made himself like a god.
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 2: We thought he was a genius because he knew Maggie
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 2: did it.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 4: But yeah, yeah, I mean I've read about how they
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 4: put in clues and stuff in the episodes, like all
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 4: the clocks are pointing one way and YadA YadA, But yeah,
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 4: that's not I don't think it's obvious at all. But
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 4: but I did like that they kind of carried it on.
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 4: Like there's an episode later on in the not so
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 4: Golden Era where Maggie shoots at a bunch of mafioso
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 4: from her crib and then puts the gun under her pillow,
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 4: Like I like, I like that that she's her character
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 4: is now like a gun toting maniac.
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the asked to borrow the gun to scared security
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 2: at the bank. This is only if you clean your room, Marches.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 2: I'm taking this away because fifty you're fifty epercent more
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 2: likely to shoot your family member than true. That's what
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 2: TV said. TV said that. I love that Marge is
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 2: now smart enough to know she has to say TV
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 2: said it, that's how you get through to this person,
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 2: to her husband, and he says, I have to have
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 2: one says so in the Constitution, and this is the
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 2: fallback that we always have here who lives outside the States.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 2: The Constitution is so outdated now, like it doesn't make
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 2: sense when they wrote that these guns, like you didn't
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 2: have some of the automatics and whatnot.
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 3: Well, it's funny that they keep mentioning the King of
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 3: England because may I think that's essentially what the Second
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 3: Amendment was about, Like the Brits could come back anytime, reclaimed. Yeah,
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 3: this country that was quote unquite originally theirs.
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean, you're.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 3: Probably justified in having your musket under you know, the
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 3: red coats, gum pushing when you come out and pushing
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 3: you around. Do you do you?
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 4: I love Lisa's such a good daughter that she takes
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 4: the rhetorical questure from Homer in genuine fashion and no
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 4: of England.
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: But this guy obviously worked better than ninety seven because
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: at that time it was the queen. But now obvious
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 2: we've got a king again. But like in ninety seven,
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 2: it's like, not only is it an outdated thing to
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 2: have a gun, but it's outdated the fact that it's
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 2: saying the King of England. It wasn't even the king anymore,
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 2: you know, But now we're going to King again, but
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 2: Marshall says, no more weapons in his house. A number
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 2: points out it's not a weapon, it's a tool like
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 2: a butcher's knife or a harpoon or an alligator. It
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 2: just more education on the subject. So he invites her
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 2: to the NRA meeting and if she still doesn't like guns,
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 2: then we'll argue some more. They arrive at the meeting
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 2: and it says on the sign, come in and shoot
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 2: your mouth off. And they're going through this gag here,
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 2: going through the security, so it's beeping, beeping. Beeping doesn't
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 2: beat for Kenney, so Lou the police officer, hands him
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 2: a gun, so that does beep. Then Lenny is chatting here,
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 2: Lenny very pro guns, chatting about automatic rifles, and they've
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 2: been getting a lot of bad press lately. The matter factured,
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 2: but then manufacturer take it. Today's modern super animals like
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 2: flying squirrels or I'll let your geels And it's almost
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 2: like an AA meeting. So Moe introduced himself as Mo
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 2: s Imo tells his story about how this young punk
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 2: tried to rob him as he was closing up the thing.
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 2: What'd you do? No smell? Whatever did you do?
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 4: Mo?
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 2: Oh, it could have got ugly, but I shut him
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 2: in the spine. They all applaud next place, next place,
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 2: you got a rob. But I have a reverence the
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 2: applause in the spine.
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: Hi, I'm Homer rat.
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 4: Hi.
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: It seems to me if a gun can protect something
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: as important as a bar, it's good enough to protect
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: my family. So if you'll have me, I would like
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: to become a lifetime member of your wonderful organization.
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 5: You can't join up with these gun nuts.
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 1: Oh, come on, be fair, March, what in your life
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: be fair?
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 2: Then at the shooting range, Agnes is throwing a grenade.
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 2: Shoot the cans. It turns out to be the candy
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 2: ba It also.
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 3: Turns out to be thinking, oh is this one of
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 3: those things her home? Is actually going to be really
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 3: good at stuff? Because like he's really nailing those cares.
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 2: Oh of course he's back. Yeah, and we get a
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 2: great moment. So he enters the quickie mart spinning his
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 2: gun around, just being reckless with it. Who thinks he's
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 2: about to be rob? Take whatever you want? And then

  Speaker 2: Every rich president of the Simpsons has to have a monicle.
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, but one of your favorite characters that my

  Speaker 3: Anytime someone can scandalize a monocle, falls out and drink
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 3: the drink, but decides he's going to rob the quickie mart.

• 1:22:10
  Speaker 2: And Homer says, you bold March, you probably left your

• 1:22:27
  Speaker 2: at the same table. And he puts the safety on,
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 2: and this is great. This is actually a horrific moment.
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 2: But it's actually a genius that I would make comedy

• 1:22:49
  Speaker 2: and then boom goes up again, hits up, ricochets or
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 2: something gets the knife stabs in the head. And even
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 2: Lisa boys that you gotta me. That's pretty cool, Homer.
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 5: I think you would agree that I've put up with
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 5: a lot in this marriage. But this is the first
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 5: time since we've been married that I've actually feared for

  Speaker 2: the UK. They partly It's very bizarre, like do you
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 2: have any issues like that when you go to the UK?
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 2: Because they call capsic and pepper obviously and things like that.
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 4: Yes, lots of little things. It's really annoying because like, yeah,
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 4: I wrote a joke about mattress protectors and and so.
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 2: Here's a very good gag by the way, oh.
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 4: Thank you very kind. But here in Australia they're called douners.
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 4: Overseas it's called doves.
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 2: Is this do?
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a lot of little things that I feel
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 4: I can influence the cadence of a joke, and like
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 4: how many syllables you have and things like that. I
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 4: think if poss machine is not is not a term
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 4: in the UK after they use card reader, And it's
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 4: just again I always purposely try right, you know, jokes
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 4: that in theory all the universal, but it just always
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 4: irritates me that there are just little language things that
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 4: I could never ever possibly account for. And like today
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 4: I wrote it, or this recently I wrote a joke
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 4: involving putting hard rubbish into a cremation or something. But
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 4: and then I realized hard rubbish is only a term
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 4: in Australia, so I've had to.
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 3: This is one that I bring up a lot. And
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 3: there's a New Zealander you may appreciate this, you'd better
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 3: appreciate it. On Flight of the Concord, I think one
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 3: of the first episodes one of the because I fashioned
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 3: a lot of episodes around their existing songs, but lineing
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 3: one of those songs, ist going on a date and said,
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 3: I'll take.
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 2: You for a kebab.
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 3: Yes, but it's set in America, and I mean, you know,
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 3: we think of a kebab as basically like a sil
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 3: something like that. Yeah, and they go to the States.
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 3: Is like, what, so he's taking around for a shob
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 3: and then you see actually like a shish kabob on
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 3: the on the screen when they've gone out.
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 2: It's like.
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 4: Not quite the same thing.
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so yeah, it's like those Americans have got a
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 3: different word for.
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 2: I remember when I ordered subway in London once and
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 2: there was like a fifteen year old girl behind the
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 2: canna sang sandwich artist and I asked for some capsicum,
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 2: and like her mind exploded. She was like, I have
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 2: no have any I was like, okay, you do, it's
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 2: right there. She's like, no, that's pepper and I was
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 2: like no, no, no, no, I want capsicum. She's like, that's
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 2: called pepper. I'm like I call it capsicum. She's like,
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know what you're saying.
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 3: And then you said, can I interested in one of

• 1:33:22
  Speaker 2: you know, I love my gun, but it's lonely being
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 2: at home by myself and there's no one around him.
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 2: I witty remarks, and he says, I promise the gun
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 2: is gone for good this time. And he's the line
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 2: you were mentioning earlier. Finally realized what's the point nevering
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 2: the gun for protection if you've got no one left
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 2: to protect? And about to check out, Quimby is getting
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 2: some ice out of the ice machine in his robe.
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 2: He gives him the Continental Breakfast. Then Snake bursts in
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 2: to rob the joint and he grabs Quimby. I'm too
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 2: ridge to die, and but then just love the envelope
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 2: closes it. Yes, yeah, it's horrible, horrific, just drippling at
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 2: the sides. So Snake walks in and yes, so he
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 2: grabs Quimby, and Quimi doesn't want to die, obviously, But
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 2: Homer pulls out the gun here and you're like, oh shit,
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 2: you've led again to march and Marge is furious.
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 4: Marge decides to tell him off mid robbery.
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 2: Mid robbery. Yes, yes, but then he says what a
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 2: secretly meant was he's too distracted talking to Marge, trying
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 2: to justify why he still haze the gun. As Snake
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 2: takes the gun from him, it's like stupid, you know,
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 2: stupid idiot, I've got them, still give me them. Okay,
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 2: don't shoot class. That's that is classic.
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 4: That's good.
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 2: Then the NRA crew arrive because they heard the song
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 2: of alarm that the the clerk pushed because they have
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 2: one of those scanners. My dad used to have one
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 2: of those scanners when I was a kid and sitting
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 2: there and you can hear like the police and what's
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 2: going on. It's like it felt like you're breaking the law.
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 2: He probably were sure it's not legal. But my dad
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 2: scanner is like listening's like, oh yeah, there's yeah, this
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 2: is going down. The cops are going down this road
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 2: and he's want to go look, and was like the
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 2: house burning a couple of streets and we're going to look,
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, how do you know the hurt on
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 2: the scanner and I'm like, this doesn't seem legit. But
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 2: they heard it on their scanner as well. They heard
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 2: the song, so they've saved the day. Essentially, so the
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 2: NRA crew save the day. But did they say the
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 2: day because there's loads of points out, did anyone's actually
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 2: stop the robber? Yeah, no, no, we're we're scaring them away.
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 3: And it's interesting that there's sort of a correlation between
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 3: these guys who are very big in the guns who
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 3: also have police scammers as well. I'm not saying anything
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 3: about your dandy by the way down, but I am
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 3: I'm employing it. I don't know the fact that they
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 3: kind of want to be law enforces or being seen
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 3: on land. Yeah, on the right side of you know,
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 3: I don't know much to say beyond that because I'm
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 3: not a philosophy mate to like like like he'd had
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 3: more to say about it.
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 4: But can't be lying if I said my men weren't
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 4: committing crimes.
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I lay to you, merch, but this gun
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 1: had a hold on me. I felt this incredible surge
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 1: of power, like God must feel when he's holding a gun.
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 1: So please get rid of it, because I know I'll
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 1: just lie to you again and again.
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 2: He leaves with the kids. Marge goes to put it
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 2: in the bin and in the normal version of the
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 2: UK version, the normal version, she goes to put it
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 2: in the bin, sees herself in the reflection. I think
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 2: she looks kind of cool, and she walks out to
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 2: the Avengers thing, which was not the Avengers we know now.
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 2: The Avengers was a TV show in the UK, I.
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 3: Believe, not the end Game Avengers. We're talking about John
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 3: Steed and Mpel, the dude in the bowler hat and
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 3: the woman in the type black cat suit hot stuff
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 3: in the late sixties, and I have read that they
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 3: didn't like the music anything that suited the moment at
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 3: the end.
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 2: They wanted to change it, but it was too late.
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 2: And I've read they wanted to change it to Happiness
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 2: is a Warm Gun by the beach, but they couldn't
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 2: get it all to work in time. It was just
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 2: it was too late. Notice, but there's a video on
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 2: YouTube where someone's put Happiness is a Warm Gun in
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 2: its place and it actually works perfect. It would have
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 2: been like it would have been spot on. It's just
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 2: a shame that didn't happen. But yet Happiness is a
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 2: Warm Gun would have been a brilliant ending to that moment.
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 2: And also I feel like because a lot of people
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 2: who didn't like this episode thought it made guns look positive, right,
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 2: put them in a more positive like the negative. I
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 2: think that music at the end makes her come across
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 2: cooler where when you watch the watch that same ending
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 2: with happiness as a warm gun, it's more of a
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 2: bittersweet ending where it's like, you know, it's not oh
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 2: how cool is she?
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but having the Avengers music, and I mean, the
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 3: main female character on that TV series was regarded as
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 3: kind of a feminist icon, a very much kind of
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 3: a prototype girl hero. I don't know, not to be well,
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 3: you don't quite get it if you know, but she's Yeah,
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 3: she's been sucked into the as I said before, the
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 3: allure of it as well. It's like no one's safe
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 3: from thinking, damn I look cool holding this, or or
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 3: I feel very powerful with this.
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 2: Oh well that is the end of the cart chain.
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 2: Thank you so much for picking this one, recause it's
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 2: not when I go back and reviees it all that often.
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 2: But I'm glad I did now.
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 4: Yes. No, I don't know why. I just watched it
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 4: many years ago, maybe when I was going through the Simpsons.
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 4: I just remember it really standing out to me of
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 4: how funny it was, how many jokes are packed into
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 4: it is just I think also, you know politics aside.
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 4: I think a gun is an extreme item. I guess
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 4: you know guns. You know, if you shoot a gun
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 4: at someone, you kill them. So I think there's a
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 4: lot of opportunity for comedy there because you're in such
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 4: a heightened extreme place. And yeah, the Simpson's milks it
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 4: for all it's worths.
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 2: It's so good you're going to treat it carefully as well. Yes,
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 2: that's what's what I did. A great job.
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, one hundred percent.
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Before we let you go, though, Ray, something we
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 2: always ask our guests. You're already well aware of it.
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 2: We've let you know, given me the heads up. We
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 2: ask you about a you're gona put together a TV marathon.
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 2: He's a Friday night since in Marthon. And now, what
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 2: was the TV station to add on it? In the
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 2: you in our New Zealand?
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 4: You actually got it right. I was very impressed.
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was TV and Z two.
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I was shocked. You knew that? What well?
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 4: We called you know, we called it channel too, but
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 4: it was run by TV and Z. I can't believe
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 4: you knew that two whole channels? Yeah, really, two whole channels.
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 4: We actually had three. I think I'm trying from memory.
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 4: The Simpson was on channel was on channel two when
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 4: I was a kid, and then it shifted to three
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 4: due to you know, who knows what rights issues and
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 4: stuff beyond me, but.
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 2: It was it was what your memories are of it
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 2: being on two?
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes, so yeah, I remember being packaged with friends
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 4: and okay, yes, and I remember and I remember and
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 4: they played off Friends and the Simpsons and they did
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 4: a song to ode to joy anyway anyway, anyway, but yes, yeah,
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 4: I was trying to pick I I think these are
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 4: just my five just favorite episodes of the Simpsons. I
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 4: think again as a kid, maybe not necessarily the most
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 4: entertaining for me to watch, but the most entertaining for
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 4: me to watch now. And so yeah, obviously the Cartridge Family,
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 4: I think.
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 2: Is okay one of the one which one would which
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 2: one would you start with? You're going to just pick
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 2: one to start with? Which would you kick off your
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 2: five episode marathon with? Oh, Friday night, you got pizza,
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 2: you got a two leater bottle of to PEPSI.
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 4: Oh that's good. Then, maybe, oh maybe that does change things.
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 4: Oh maybe I would still open with the Artridge family
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 4: because it does kind of cover cover the entire Simpsons family,
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 4: and it's the one that's most focused on the entire family.
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 4: I think of the ones I've perked, and then I'd
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 4: pick Homer at the Bat, which I think is a
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 4: phenomenal episode. I think, Yeah, mister Burns is maybe my
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 4: favorite minor major, minor character, you know, maybe of the
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 4: secondary character character. Yeah.
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 2: The funny that the cast absolutely hated that episode because
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 2: they thought they were being written out of it. The
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 2: Simpson was getting really popular at that point and they
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 2: thought there was all the lines were going to the
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 2: guest stars and like do you still want us or not?
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 2: So the cast, the cast hated it, but us the
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 2: fans loved it.
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 4: Yes, No, I mean the the baseball players all be
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 4: taken out one by one and random events is so
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 4: so funny and gigantism. I told you to shave those
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 4: side birds of the one of the you guys might
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 4: remember his name, but the baseball player who keep them
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 4: to his lines. And then the reason that he gets
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 4: taken out is that he's been too heroic, you know,
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 4: like he runs into the fire and the lady says,
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 4: my washer.
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 2: And dryer or whatever runs keep going back in.
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 4: But yeah, he was originally taken out by something else,
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 4: but he didn't like the way he was portrayed and demanded.
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 2: Him The name escapes me. But I know exactly. So
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 2: he didn't die. He was just late because he were
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 2: saving somebody.
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 4: Yes, made him too much of a hero. And then
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 4: apparently for the rest of his life people would ask
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 4: him about that episode and edwards because he just hated
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 4: the Simpsons.
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 2: What's like Spruce Spreingsteen. He turned down Radio Bart. That's
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 2: why Sting is in now where he falls down the well, Yeah,
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 2: want to he said, No, he's still to this day, like,
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 2: why do you do the Simpsons? Like, stop asking me
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 2: about the Simpsons.
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 4: So yeah, and then Burns Baby Burns another one again.
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 4: These are just the only episodes that I think just
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 4: make me laugh so much. Yeah. I think Rodney Dangerfield
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 4: in this episode is so strong. There's so so many
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 4: good gigs. The one where when they insult Marge and
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 4: the basement and then Rodney goes, oh, no, give it
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 4: up to your mother. She's all right, And she's all right.
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 4: Marge doesn't quite know how to react.
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 2: My kids absolutely loved Homer being forced outside to because
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 2: I was like, we can't go out there police in
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 2: broad daylight. And then he goes outside, gets caught going
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 2: outside when police aman in broad daylight. One idiocy. My
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 2: kid's not hilarious, but you god, you're the biggest. Your
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 2: favorite moment is there? Put it back in She's not.
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 4: Little line. Also when they drive past, they drive past
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 4: Larry Burns at first and he's holding a sign that
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 4: says Springfield, I kind of get a poll to hold
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 4: that song. So many just really strong.
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 2: Jokes, great character designed too, because he looks like mister Burns,
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 2: but it also looks like Rodney danger Is.
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 4: They somehow do it? They so how do it? Both?
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 4: And there's a bit where when mister Burns shows them
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 4: the playroom, which is the room with the theater production
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 4: running in it, but they walked over to it and
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 4: Rodney Dangerfield he's like he's doing the hunched warp with
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 4: his hands up like mister Burns.
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 2: Again he says, hey, no, you are right.
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 4: So yeah, just the little bits of stand up comedy
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 4: and there very funny. And the final one, well two
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 4: more sorry one is Summer of four? Is it foot
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 4: two or feet two. I actually pot four foot four
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 4: foot two. I think that one. I mean, the making
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 4: fun of Millhouse will always crackt me up, I think.
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 4: And it just has one of my favorite favorite moments
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 4: in the show, which is one of the one of
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 4: the girls, one of Lisa's new friends, says, Lisa, your
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 4: mom is so cool. If it was my mum should
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 4: be interrupted coming in right now with rice, Chrispy swears
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 4: and orange and Marge comes in with that stuff. Here's
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 4: it walks right out and that makes me laugh so
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 4: so so.
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 2: It's just like Grandpa when he walks into the lescout Seas, but.
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 4: The flipping it's so funny. Yeah. And then the final
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 4: one I pick is a Millhouse Divided. I think, yeah,
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 4: when Kirk and Lawan get divorced, I think, just yeah,
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 4: Kirk van Howden is just a very funny said.
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 2: That was the birth of Kirk. Really, it really was. Yeah,
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 2: And what I liked about that one in particular was
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 2: that the end doesn't give you the happy ending, It
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 2: gives you the realistic why the funk would she take it?
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 2: She doesn't want this guy. And at most shows, the
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 2: hit sing a song and you're like, you know, what.
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Chase. I know you're a gladiator and you're
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 2: a great husband or a great new partner, but I'm
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 2: gonna go back to my old shitty husband. And it's no,
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 2: that's not that's not what would really happen. And she's
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 2: just like you no, But yeah, Kirk became a main
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 2: character after he was always like on the show. But
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 2: that's where he became the Kirk that we know and
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 2: love now.
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, oh yeah. And there's just so many strong, strong
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 4: lines like the like the so that's it, you know,
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 4: the when he hits five from the crack effectory who says,
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 4: you know, do single people heat crackers? We don't know. Frankly,
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 4: we don't want to know.
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 2: It's the market we can do without. That's also the
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 2: I don't recall anying good luck, it's.
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 4: Goodbye and good luck of phenomenal.
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 2: Just yeah, now that I'm being married for ten years now,
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 2: But like watching that one, when you're married, it hits
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 2: it differently, even be in a relationship. It's like trying
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 2: to do in games nights with your wife. Just don't
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 2: do it.
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 4: Don't do it.
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 2: Don't want to show the cat because the cat's going
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 2: to get it.
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 4: So good, that's so good, And is that the one
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 4: at the end and Homer goes, yeah, Homie goes, I
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 4: want to renew her vows or whatever. Margin is like, oh,
