  Speaker 1: This test is a joke.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: H Skinner.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Today I received an education and how children really learn
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: by seeing their principal run around on top of a
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: shipping container. So children, put down your answer sheet and
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: drop that number two. And yes, I know what that means.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: I've learned so much today. This is my school and
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: I'm throwing out the test.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: From a brainy dust god.
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: Four Finger discount Ude.

  Speaker 2: Welcome to four Finger Discount, the podcast where we review
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: season twenty of The Simpsons.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: Oh down season twenty.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Everyone's down on season twenty. Everything's down. No, No one
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: likes Season twenty the Simpsons. It seems it just feels
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: like this is the point where people. I was saying
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: to you this to you off the air before I'm
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: down it. By the way, Oh I'm guy. Yes, I
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: was saying to you that. It feels like season twenty
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: is when it felt like people really genuinely stopped not
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: caring about the Simpsons. But just maybe you're caring as
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: the word.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Well, you're talking about people, we're talking about us. Yeah,
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: we're going to be here shouldering the burden for all
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: us sinners. We're going to be looking through season twenty.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Each and every episode digging in.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: The dirt looking for those gold nuggets of entertainment and
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: humor and whatever, and I don't know did we find any,
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: and how the test was one?
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Let's find out. We're talking about how the test was one,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: by the way, how the test was one? Indeed, Now,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: before we get into this review, though, yesterday was April
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Fool's Day, I want to throw an apology out of
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: everyone who follows our page. And I felt very bad
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: when I wrote it. I felt even worse when I
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: clicked post. But essentially I wrote an April Fools stroke
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: that said the Simpsons Hit and Run is finally getting
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: a sequel. Now, if you're a Simpsons fan, that's the
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: one thing you don't really joke about. But I thought,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: you know what, screw it, I'm going to do it anyway.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: You went there, I did. I went there and people
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: weren't impressed. We didn't lose followers, which is good. That
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: is good. We don't want to be losing anything. We
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: don't want to be losing any indeed. But the thing
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: is that I just wanted to throw an apology at
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: to everyone who was fooled by it, because you know,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: I felt bad. But it is April Fool's Day, and
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: the purpose of April Fol's Day is to make fools
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: of people. Were you April fooled at all by the
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: by anybody? No? Not really, I think I did it
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: was it's a funny story for continuing. No, I don't
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: have it.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: I don't have an ending funny to say, as you know,
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: So tell us your funny story. You you fooled someone
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: or you got full I got fooled. Yeah, so this
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: will be extra in a place that I never thought
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: I'd be fooled.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Right. Oh, So I took Elliott to school. He goes
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: to a primary school, local primary school, and he always
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: wants to do is play footy. That kid all he
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: wanted to do was be outside in the over playing footy.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: He's great at school. I shipped it to Elliot. By
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: the way, so his expected range of reading is to
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: be between one hundred and eighteen hundred and twenty four
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: or something two hundred and seventy gosh, maths range was
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: like between one hundred and twenty one hundred and forty
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: three hundred and thirteen. That's like, well, not Elliott.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: I don't understand any of those numbers, but they sound
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: like his numbers are higher than expect your brain.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so he's doing well in the classroom and he's
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: smashing it in sport as well. The pe teacher was like,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: this kid unbelievable. Anyway, if you love early so much
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: when you're marrying, I mean that's his son. A little
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: bit weird, but anyway, Yeah, so he's doing all he
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: wants to do ab outside kicking the footy, right, so
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: then I'd rather be doing this run. I dropped him off.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: He's walking into his classroom as I'm walking out with
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: the parent with the parents, the teacher. So the principal
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: of the primary school shout out to mister Holloway, fantastic. Principle,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: could not think any more highly of him. He's just
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: he's great at what he does, right, he has known
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: how as we're saying tension, kids don't forget, as we
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: discussed in the newsletter this week, which kids don't read
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: the newsletters. Obviously, as we discussed the newsletter this week, today,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: there will be no playtime on the oval. Oval is
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: out of hounds and be no outside play. As we discussed,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: we're going to be practicing homework club during recess and
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: lunch break. Parents all look at each other going, wait,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: what what what? What? What was? What? What? What newsletter?
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: When was this said? Some parents start storming to the
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: to the So even I was annoyed as well. So
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: I caught Nick on the phone going did I let
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: the kids outside? Can you believe this? What's going on here?
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: That's outrageous? How are we supposed to make Ali want
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: to do homework when the homework is sort of joined
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: with not being able to go outside and play. So
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: I go home and I didn't find it that the
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: parents going there TI later on. So I go home angry, right,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: and I'm sitting and thinking, oh, well, he'll be fine.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: All the other kids will be outside either. I pick
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: him up and I'm like, so did you to stay inside? Old?
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: He goes no, it was mister Holloway. On April four.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: He got me.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: He got me.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Good. April four though, that's pretty good. I've never known
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: a teacher principal to do that.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Well, you're right, because you don't expect it from that
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: particular framework. I trusted you with my child's education and
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: my own sense of you, and.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: He got me as well. I was like, what a joke,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Well done, mate, Well done, sir.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: We don't do it too often, or maybe you do
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: it too often, but Principal Holloway, what a lord.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: So we're here today. But actually one more thing. We've
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: got Jet here. Jet has returned. So I actually think
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: I mentioned the podcast that Jet was put to sleep
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: just past aw ways ago. So there's been a tough
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: time here at Fourthing a Discount, which is why things
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: have been late and whatnot. So I apologize for that.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: But Jet, you can see you on the camera about
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: him cremated. He's only in his little cardboardox at the moment.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: He's proper cremation boxes on its way. But yeah, shirt
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: to Jetty, he's here with us.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: I'm wonder if I should make a joke that is
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: in semi bad taste. You know how much I love
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Jet Way for it. It's like my dog's a box.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: A box anyway, but Ali and I'd love it. Takes
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: the box to put it next to his bed at night,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: and I should hope. So, So Jet's been here since
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: the beginning of Fourthing a Discount and it wouldn't be
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: the same without him. Last week had to record a
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: show without him and just felt weird. So he'll be
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: here with us every single episode on the table here.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: I had to do a bunch of farting in the
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: in the studio to sort of make up for the
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: absence of Jet. I have my former cats, Jackson and
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: Charlie in little boxes like this, little containers.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: It's good to have our pals around it is. Indeed. Yeah,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: good boy Jet, Yes, good boy Jet. Indeed. So how
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: the test was one? This was an episode that I
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: actually didn't mind actually to all that much. I thought
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: the Homer story was actually quite obvious, but still quite entertaining.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: I would have preferred. So the basic just of the
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: episode is what happens. What happens in the episode is
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Homer forgets to mail the insurance claim. Is it life insurance,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: home insurance? What? I think it's home and contents? But look,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: why would that impact him off viability or liability insurance? Maybe? Yeah,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: he forgets to post it. Matt Marge asking to post it,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: he doesn't do it, and he must go a day
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: without hurting himself because he's now financially liable for his
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: own injuries. Meanwhile, the school has organized the I think
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: it's the Vice president Academic test or something along those lines,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: and they send all Enough he's out with Skinner to
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Capital City to prevent them from bringing down them the
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: average the scores average because it dictates how much money,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: how much school funding they get. Unfortunately, Lisa is even
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: struggling with the test, so we see Lisa struggling with
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: the test as well. So the Homer story, as I
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: mentioned here, was not posting in life insurance. I actually
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: quite enjoyed this. I would have preferred if it was
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: more focused on him not injuring himself, but I think
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: they kind of got the out of the way early.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: And actually it wasn't terrible him trying to prevent other
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: people from getting hurt in his house. I was all
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: for that.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: I thought that was, actually, yeah, a better element of
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: the story, did you ak? I thought they actually did
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: that really well, and it wasn't something that I expected.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: And it's always good to be surprised, except, you know,
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: when you're taking your kid to school and they're told.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: They've got homework club rather than playtime. I heard homework Coluver.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: I was like, what is going on here? Mather Bridge
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: is going to share? Yes, so yeah, but I hear
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: what you're saying too. And it also kind of makes
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: sense that Homer would want to lay low. He wouldn't
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: want to be out living a normal day, you know,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: potentially potentially hurting himself. That he realizes he's made it
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: to work, Oh I missed this, So he doesn't go
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: to where he goes home? Well, yeah, but that's pretty
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: much part of the course. Does he actually still work?
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Does he actually have a job yet? So for him
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: to make.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: His way back from the plant to because where he's
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: trying to drop it off at the actual office, and
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: they're saying.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: So that's one of my trivia questions. Why was the
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: guy out back at three pm? Oh no, he's back
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: at three pm. No idea, stopping his daughter's wedding. That's
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: actually pretty funny.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: Shame on me for not remembering that or paying as
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: much as close attention as I should have. Yeah, but
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: for him to have to be yeah, not just in
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: a controlled environment, actually out in the world where bad
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: stuff could.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Happen to you.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: But then even making it home is like, oh my god,
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: it's even worse in here, or I'm seeing danger everywhere.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: That was something I really enjoyed about the episode. I mean,
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: I'm kind of jumping on my favorite moments here. But no,
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: I like the I like the A story with the
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: whole testing thing, even the A one story or a
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: minor story what with Lisa sort of having her rice,
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: and that's part of the test, part of the test story,
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: but it's also its own little ad dout.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: The Skinner story was quite fun as well. I thought,
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: oh yeah, yeah, I like you know what, I like
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: he In this episode, Skinner finally earned some respect back
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: that I feel like he's been lacking for maybe five
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: six seasons now. I'm so sick of him being the simp.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's very much that he's just the whipping
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: boy for charmers, yeah, or you know, sort of being
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: made fun of.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Buy Well Barton particular. No one fears him anymore, and
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: I don't think they ever really feared him, but now
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: they just see him as a joke where they didn't
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: seem as a joke in the first goal in the
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Golden Ear, he was seen as, you know, the guy
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: that can get one over, but he still could outsmart them.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: Well, it's also yeah, back in the back in those
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: early stages, he's an authority figure that you're making fun of,
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: and there are.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Risks with that, or there are stakes with that. Yeah,
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: you know, but Wood pull his pranks or whatever doing graffiti,
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, there's still a possibility like he's going to
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: get detention or he's going to get punished or whatever
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: as a result, whereas now just yeah, we just make
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: fun of this guy and nothing happens, like Okay, well,
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: if the pranks you're pulling, all the gags you're telling
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: aren't super funny for us as viewers, that's the point.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: And I don't trust them to continue that onto the
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: next episode. And even throughout the majority of this episode,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: they were still treating him the way they have been
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: treating for the last previous seasons. But by the end,
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: it's like our skin is using smarts and using stuff
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: that you can learn at school in a cool way.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: It's almost like Skinner fail. It was almost like he
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: felt cool again by the end of the episode.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: Well, it did, and it also tied into the underlying
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: I guess theme of this of this plot line, of
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: this test. Plot lines like this, not that these tests
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: don't mean shit, but you know, if you're going to
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: educate people, educate them properly and educate them in ways
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: that are going to benefit them in all ways, And.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Don't base your self worth on what you get on
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: a test. How many people fail we call it, they
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: call it high st they call hig school, they call
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: highchool America. Yeah, fail high school, don't even complete high school.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: They're still gone to succeed. Of course, you've got to
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: have the drive in yourself. You've got to also have
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: a bit of a billy and a bit of it's
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: well to succeed. But the thing is, if you don't
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: do well at school, it doesn't mean you're going to
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: fail in life.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: No, no, And it's incumbent and maybe upon the school
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: system as well or the people that you have around
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: you are sort of guiding your future. It's like, okay,
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: well maybe book learn is not your thing, you know,
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: let's find something else for you to do. What are
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: you good at. Let's try and identify that early, and
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: let's put you on a path where it's a wonderful,
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: magical land where you know you can do what you
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: love for a living or do something that you enjoy
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: doing every day. What's that old saying is like find
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: a job you love.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: And you'll never work at the right day. Yeah, all
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: that kind of stuff.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean I've always been a remind It's like, yeah,
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: try and identify early what you might like doing and what.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: You might have an aptitude for, and let's steer you
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: in the direction. We're going to make a little scratch
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: doing that. One thing I also always try to instill
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: an Alley, even as early as now, is the teachers
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: are your friend. Don't look at the teachers they're teaching.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: You might be boring, it might seem they're being mean,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: but they are doing it because they want you to succeed.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: They want you to learn. Their goal in life is
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: to help you achieve goals in life. That's they go
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: to school so they can teach you things. So Elliott,
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: he always respects a teacher, even more so in high school.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: I think we're in high school. Yeah, I know everything.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: I'm a teenager. By the time we get to year
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: twelve here in a stride, we get to year twelve.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: By time you get year even year twelve, you realize
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: those teachers that we hated, they're actually really great and
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: they just want us to succeed and they want the
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: best for us. How it would just be nice to them?
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: I remember in year twelve. We're friends of all the teachers.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: You realize, Oh fuck, without these guys, we're nothing, you know,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: we need these people. Yeah, so always look, always respect
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: your teachers. That's what I try to say to Elliott.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Teachers are there for a reason. They want you to succeed.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: That's their goal in life. It should be yours to
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: make their life easier as a result. It's a good philosophy.
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, my favorite.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: What were your favorite moments from the episode. I had
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: a few lines that I really enjoyed. I really liked
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: Helen love Joy Forever, the gossiper right talking about Kleidus.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: I just love that she's feeding his slop to another
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: woman's pick. It's like there's double meetings there. But I
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: liked it.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I mean that whole book club meeting turning
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: into a Final Destination sequel.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: I thought was pretty good. Yeah. Oh I didn't even
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: pick up on that as well. Yeah, every sort of
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: mask I saw your post about Final Destination six. Is
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: it five or six? Yeah? It's five films, I think,
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: isn't there now.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: They've made five films and now they're doing it's not
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: been a number. It's called Final Destination Bloodlines.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: I am going to have a marathon of these movies.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna sit there mondaychoose, and I'm going to watch
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: them all because I remember loving the first one. The
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: second one still haunts me, haunts everybody. No, everyone always says,
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: you can't drive down the highway behind a truck. Just
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: can't be done anymore. Don't do it whenever someone is
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: mowing the lawn. Always, I'm gonna get a thing in
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: my eye. Like Final Destination films, they're great, they grew
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: up and down in quality, but the premise is so
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: it's ludicrous but also so ingenious genius as well. Yeah,
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: I really like FUD Destinations, so I'm excited for the
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: new one. But i'd even pick up on the well.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: I don't think it was a parody, but it had
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: elements of it. Yeah, it's certainly. Yeah.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think I think they're sort of paying
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: tribute to Finalist Nation. They're not being too explicit about it,
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: but that whole everything around here could kill you at
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: any moment that you know, that light thing could explode
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: all over and no not just explode, but it's a
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: big circle. You get land around my neck, and I'd
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: just be right. So I love that and also the
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: fact that, yeah, but it's all Homer's fantasy, Yeah, all
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: Homer's prediction or whatever, except then Homer being Homer, it
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: turns turns into a margin.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: Who's margin? Yeah kind of hot. I reckon that that
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: would have been used in the commercial. You don't make
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: those kind of joke unless you're going to be using
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: them to the full amount. And I think that you
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: would have just put that in a bubble in the commercial,
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: gone margins making that Linds Nagle what tune in this
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Sunday to find out why.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: If we if we had social media back then, I
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: have no doubt it would be gift or memed or whatever. Yes,
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: I enjoyed that very much. You're right when it comes
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: to lines more than anything else. I mean, I did
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: enjoy at the very starts.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: I believe it Skins that you're like, no, no, sorry, Tomer.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: I think holidays are over. They're sending the kids back
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: to school or whatever. It's like you're a government's problem.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Now. I thought I thought that was uh and uh.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the nice ruse that the school plays when they yeah,
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: you think you're sending these kids off to what do
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: they call it? A genius copts genius copter, there's conn air. Yes,
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: all these are what shall we say, disadvantage you did indeed,
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to do that. If I was going
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: to use my analog of that word, well, we'd be
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: in a whole lot of trouble. Yeah, because we're able
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: to use that word when oldier kid.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: I do think that this is a bit of a
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: retread on a previous story where Skinner wants the bullies
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: out of the school when charmers arrive. Yeah, and they're
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: all put down in the in the basement or something.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: I believe it's Duffless. Anyways, the episode when Skinner locks
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: the boys the bullies in the room, Yes, and because
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: he promises the promises mountain bikes. Yeah, at the end,
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: what if they're dead, sir? We ride these bikes to Mexico. Really,
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: but the bullies having like a little encounter group at
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: the end of like or is that whacking day? Is
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: it whacking day? It's where Barke get sent to the school.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: It can't be Dufle's because Dufless ends with them singing
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: what is it? I'm gonna look it up? Look continue,
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: look at.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was like, there's a no genius coptic, there's
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: a conn air because who's on the it's the bullies.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: And Ralph and Bart essentially on the Yeah, it was
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: the same kids as the previous episode, except've added Ralph
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: in there as well for comedic.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: Effects, of course, well for comedic effect.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: I do think that Michael Price, though, my man Michael
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: Price knows how to write Ralph. I think Ralph was
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: nowhere near as dumb down in this one. This felt
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: very much more based on earlier era Ralph, where you know,
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: he's singing the spice skills. Whatever, are you done yet?
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: I was done before I came in that kind of ject.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: I didn't mind that. I thought, I just don't think
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: he was as our words.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a tendency to make Ralph, yes, completely ignorant,
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: ignorant on a grand thermonuclear scale, where it's just like, no,
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: he's just kind of naive and silly.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: It is waking day, by the way, it's waking day.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: I'm like, it can't be waking day now, it is
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: waking day. So the entire waking day, the kids are
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: locked in the room.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: Don't second hress yourself, man, So I enjoyed those all
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: those things very much from how the test was.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: One and I also enjoyed it's just a couple of lines,
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: and the last one here I've got is several. That's
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: more than a few, and almost a bunch, just little
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: lines like that. I don't mind.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Next question you there eating the beast.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Trivia time here on a four figure discount. My first
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: question for you is what did the banner say at
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: the school the first time we get to the school
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: the assembly to announce the test, but as a banner
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: out the front first day of school?
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: Well this might be mine as well, if we're talking
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: about the same thing. But is it about that super teacher,
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: Miss Caldocott is now mister Newberry. That's correct, yeah, indeed,
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: well yes, what was the new idea for Miss Caldicott?
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: And it is mister Newber. My next question, Your next
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: question is what flower did the library group remain? So
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: I think it's mister Becker said, O deal oal for
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: the dills A little sidebar. I had to fix a chance.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: So Elliott's in a house at school. Greenhouse is in
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: they call the Devon Cross because it's the streets around
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: the school. Yes, so Devon Street is near the school,
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: they're Devon crops and kids put up I added, like
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: an assembly on Monday afternoon. Parents can go few parents
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: with that, and kids can put a chance in to
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: having a sports day soon and one and the guy
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: up there, the teacher, he's just like reading out the
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: chance and he's that fun teacher, you know, he's like
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: he's enthusiastic, blah blah blah. And at the start it
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: said so c r O C S that the letter
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: letters for CROCS right, and said our team is the
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: best of the best. And he's like, I can't quite
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: work out how do we do this? So cr o
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: CS our team is. I can't quite work o how
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: to do those letters in the chant. I'm sitting there,
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: I'm seeing I'm going it's right there in front of oh,
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: like I'm sitting now on just like cant say nothing
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: that mister Halloway, my man, mister Hallway rocks up and
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: he quite right. He's a reason why he's great.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Right. So he goes to all the assemblies and he
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: was just making sure all the chances that were chosen
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: were the right ones. Right. One of the chants at
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: the last chance was basically putting down the other color,
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: saying Red's too slow and red meant stopped. Blah bla blah.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: It was the whole ways, like no nix and that
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: because you know what we do. We don't put down
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: the other ones. We just say how great we are,
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: and you can say how great you are, but we
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: don't need to put down the other house. And I'm
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: like that's a fair point, right, But the cr O
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: c S and sitting there and he goes, what the
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: workshop on this one? And I was like, excuse me,
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: end can tell you how to do this perdently. It's
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: it's Brittandana Internet creative replace. I'm we are the best
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: of the best with this. So the c O c
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: s you couldn't work out had to say c r
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: o c s in a chant. I'm like, it's c
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: r o cs. And it was originally written as our team,
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: our team is the best of the best. I'm like,
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: there's too many syllables. It just needs to be c
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: r o cs. Our team simply is the best. The
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: hole it looks at me and he was like wink,
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, and the teacher get the feeling. The
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: teacher didn't like me correcting him, because he was just
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: like yeah, yeah, and then miss is always like, yep,
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: so just replace best there and replace it was simply,
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: and he's like, I'll be showing a back here.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: You spent a lot of time on this episode justifiably
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: praising teachers for all the good work they do. We
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: also have to recognize that they are human beings, occasionally flawed,
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: and they might take.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: Issue with I'm coming in and doing their job for
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: him like you did. And he's reading back, that's a
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: good chart. He's reading back through it and there's more
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: to the champ but that was just the start of it.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: And he's reading back through it, and he goes so,
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: I've changed this too, simply, and Miss Hollway goes in
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: points to me, and I think the teacher was like.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: I think we all like mister Holloway, but don't be
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: throwing your employees at the bus like that.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: Even the praise dander But yeah, so I was like,
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: it's see, yes, it's obvious, it's right there. Well yeah,
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: I let him get up. After the third time, I
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: was like, I have to have to fix this. And
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: after school, Alliet was like, was a way better one
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: that you did. I was like, I know, son, I know,
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: but that what we're doing that chance? What are we
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: talking about? Chance for daffidils? Daffidils? Yes, the daffodil chant. Yeah,
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: of course it does reminded me of that moment. I
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: was like, I have to get that out there. I
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: just thought it's hilarious. Well, your next question for me.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: My next question for you? What is the Blue Umbrella
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: Insurance Company's mailing address? Oh, that's a good question. I'm
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: not going to be able to answer that one.
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: I had to do a bit of freeze framing. But
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: it is one hundred balloon payment, boulevard b.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: Loo payment, balloon payment, balloon payment toa loon payment.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: My final question for you is what color was the
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: shipping container that Skinner used where he was running on.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: Just turn the momentum around. I want to say orange. No,
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: you said it before. It's blue.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: Oh oh well okay, then blue it is?
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: It is? Yes, it was. I think it was like brown.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: Maybe you are right now you now you've got me
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: second guessing myself again.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: Well that's the thing. You second guess each is nice,
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: second guess you. It all works out. You're probably right.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: There's no video of it. I could go on Disney Plus.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: How about we just leave it and we just have it?
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: The listeners like right in, this is right.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: This could be like that wonderful mean thing where it's like,
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: what color is this dress? I think it's blue and yellow? No,
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: you're kidding, that's gray and red? What are you talking about?
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: It turns out it's yellow. Turns out it's the box
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: is yellow? Even a dress? All right? So one more question?
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: Can hit me? One more question? Okay?

• 26:05
  Speaker 2: in a second. So chotball gag, March madness is not
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: an excuse for missing school. The couch gags, the Simpsons
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: travel through iconic sitcom families and scenarios, behalf that the Honeymoons.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: I think it is the first one.
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: Let's name those b Big Van Dyke Show, Bick Van
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: Dyke Show, Brady Bunch, and Cheers.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: I really liked this. This was good, This was fun.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: It was a fun couch gag, having such a chase
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: them throughout the different years and they being the nineties
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: one sure.
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think it's a good acknowledgment that
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: the Simpsons actually does belong in that tradition of classic
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: family sitcom, classic sitcom hundred percent does.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Now, the thing I was going to mention before
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: we discussed all this, because this start of this episode,
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: I feel this episode was the definition in a way
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: of padding out a story. Oh god, yes. So there
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: was a lot of montages, in particular coming from a
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: few moments Homer's injury montage that went forever I looked
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: at it. After that was all said and done, it
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: was like three and a half minutes into the episode. Yeah,
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: and we had an extended couch gag, and that extended
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: montage of Homer injured himself. I thought, you guys are
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: really patting this one out.
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, my note here running along on material guys. Yeah, yeah,
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: that went way too long. Did culminate in not a
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: bad punchline, however, which was what a week? Yes, that
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: wasn't bad. Yeah, But at the same time, it's like,
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: I don't know if it's worth it. I don't know
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: if that punchline is worth a gag that long. If
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: we're noticing it, and we both noticed it independently, it's
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: kind of like I don't know.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I'm watching this going normally for a montage
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: and might go for you know, ten seconds or so,
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: or ten to twenty seconds. This felt like it went
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: for a minute. It just kept going. I'm waiting for
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: it to Andrews kept going and kept going, and kept
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: going and kept going. I thought, whoa. To the point
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: where you know, we had the thing in his eye
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: from lart of the dance, they showed the entire bit
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: where he's struggling as well, I'm going, yeah, what the
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: hell's going on here? Now?
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: You know, comedy of Fiicieronados may say that's the joke,
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: but I don't know, Man, it just felt like it
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: was stretched out way too much.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: I would have actually a pred what would you if
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: they had the balls that just do an entire episode
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: of just from that moment on the entire episode it's
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: just injury montage. Yeah, how long would you sit there
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: and watch that? Do you think that's a tough one?
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: Because I mean that's sort of that's ball, that's a
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: South Parks kind.
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: Of that's going from comedy to anti comedy, back to comedy,
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: back to anti comedy, back to Oh it comes like
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: a not the not the snake swallowing its own tail.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: But yeah, some weird quantum physics deal when it comes
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: to comedy.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: No, no, don't do it. I feel like modern audiences
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: would actually appreciate it, do you. I don't know. I
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: don't know.
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: I think it's one of those things that's really good
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: in theory. I think it's good to discuss on podcasts.
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: I think if the people at Simpsons Q actually did it,
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: we'd be probably lighting our torches and storming the build
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: and going why.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: But do you think if South Park did it and say,
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: season five or whatever season four where it's just clips
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: the entire time. There's no new material until the end.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: Maybe Yeah, I'm very torn. As I said, I love it.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: Someone do it and then we can see what happened
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: I and then.
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: We see it like, oh, this is not what I wanted.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I try it once. You can't lose any more
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: the viewers anyway, can they Simpsons? At this point? Can they?
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: Probably not? Right, So the episode kicks off with the
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: happy New Year of school, not happy New Year, happy
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: new year of school, and I get this now after
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: school holidays. Last year was the first Christmas holidays where
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: Elliott was home from genuine school, right, yes, And so
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: it was like sick because I used to go to
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: daycare over the break. So Holly still goes to daycare
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: over the Christmas break couples like a week or so
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: where she can't go, but Elliott was home for like
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: six weeks and after the third week kind of going.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, I love spending time with Alliott, but it's
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: like I need to get work done.
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: Now you reach the event horizon, you're actually at the
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: real halfway mark of like, I've had so much fun,
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: but now I've got an equal amount of time. Yeah,
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: I need to make money now and send you back
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: to school. That's why I'm going to bring your daddy
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: back and turn that into a job. So we can
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: just make more money out of the school holidays.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: That'll be nice. Find ways to make money. Tough thing
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: to do in this It is a tough twenty twenty
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: five is indeed a very tough thing to do. But
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: as you were saying earlier, you're the government's problem now.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: And Bart mentions here that your refers to school as
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: a suckshack and he learnt that word from someone at school. Now,
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: I like that they paid it off later, which we'll
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: get to. Yes, So the insurance bill is June, and
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: March asked Homer to mail it out, And I thought,
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: how two thousand and seven of this? Seven? Two and
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: seven and nine even I've even I thought two thousand
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: and nine? Are we emailing at this point?
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: You would think so. But yesterday I went over to
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: see the beloved Margaret Mary, my mother almost ninety five,
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: almost ninety five, running some errands for her, Like, guy,
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: would you mind posting.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: This letter for me? I'm like, wow, gosh, I feel
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: like one of those old cowboys.
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: You know, it's like we've got a sack full of
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: letters writing from a coast to coast. I've actually got
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: to put something physical in a mailbox.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: Ye, guess what. I haven't done it yet. It's in
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: the pantry. Pantries refer to it. I think you put
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: in the glove in the pantry.
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, what do we still call?
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: Do you still call them the glove compartment? I caught
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: the glove box. Yeah, glove box. Yeah. Does anyone actually
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: open their glove box anymore? Does anyone actually put gloves
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: in it? Why is it called a glove box? Is
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: that where it originated from? Do people used to keep
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: their gloves in it? Well? I imagine that was the case.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: Did horse and carriacters have glove boxes? So it was
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: like maybe gloves to Well.
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: You're probably if you're holding the rain, say, if you're
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: on a stage.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so was there a glove box? I guess? So? Yeah,
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: should we look this? I'm going to google this.
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: This is the kind of quality information you would tune
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: into four finger discount for Impress your friend.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: Just google where did the term glove box originate? So
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: the term glovebox or glove compartment? As telling you this
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: originated from the early nineteen hundreds when car starting featuring
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: a storage compartment initially intended for storing driving gloves. So
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: I didn't realize people had driving gloves. Well, they were
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: very back in the day. It's like, oh my hands. Yeah,
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: the steering apparently everyone needs to use driving gloves and
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: needs to store them in their glove compartment.
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: Well, the steering wheel, I imagine, is just an evolution
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: of the reins that you were holding when you were
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: either horse and buggy or even just on a horse drinking.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: Horses panicked when wheels were invented, like fun, I don't
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: need us anymore. No, we're gonna be glue.
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: That's when they had to start doing tricks, diving up
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: high platforms like shit, gotta upskill. This is not relevant
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: at all to any of us oil in the twenty
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: first century now, But isn't that interesting? I mean, I
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: think we probably could have gone the rest of our
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: lives not knowing why that compartment in your car was
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: called the glove box.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: And now we know that's a beauty of having kids
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: as well, because they ask questions, For example, what.
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: Although you're about to say that's the beauty of having
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: a co host who would ask.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: You there, Oh yeah, kids so much different. But they
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: ask you questions like where does the wind come from?
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, I said to Elliott, I should actually
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: know this, but I don't know this, and I still
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: haven't looked at ups. Why I don't have kids. This
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: is where he just makes it up. What where do
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: clouds come from? And I'm like, I should know this.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: Where does the rain come from? I'm like, why know
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: it comes from the clouds, But I'm pretty sure it's
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: because it's condensation. Condensation and the clouds get too heavy
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: and that's why it comes out. He's always lightning come from, Like,
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know, stop asking questions. It would be great
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: if I was like, where does the wind come from?
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: When you just go here and you let one rid,
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: you just do a huge part and he would just
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: think you're the best dad ever.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: So the kids love Nicholas scratching the back in bed
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: right at bed time? Can you scratch my back? Mum?
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: Mum scratches it? But we all love that. And the
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: other day Holly dropped one whilst Nicholas reaching over to
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: scratch Elliot's essentially in her face. They thought that was
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: the peak of comedy. Comedy, couldn't get any funny out
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: they They were laughing for about half an hour. Nicola, not
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: so much. I understand, because you know, you know when
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: someone fasts. But have you had a funt where someone
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: farts and you can feel it like it's touched you.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that is the worst of the worst when
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: it when you feel it. Not smelling, no, but you
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: know what's in it. Feeling a fart is worse than
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: smelling it in my opinion.
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, absolutely, there's microscopic. Yeah, but bits and pieces
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: of stuff.
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: Not only is it going to be in you when
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: you smell it, it's now on you. Oh yeah, yeah,
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: take a shower. No good anyway, moving along, please please
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: move on. But we're getting back to so she's asking
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: him to post the bill and the montages work, he says,
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: for when I get hurt, and man, do I get
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: hurt and we get what feels like at least a
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: one minute montage of various grips of him getting injured.
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: It went forever, It did go forever, indeed. But now
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: it's the school assembly, first day of school. The library
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: groups are no longer named after flowers named after the
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: barnyard animals except for the daffodils, because mister Becker really
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: loves his daffodils apparently really, And then they've got the
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: Vice President's Assessment Assessment Test, not academics assessment test, No
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: Children from the No Children Left Alone Act or whatever
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: it's called. Basically, it's just I think there was a.
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: I think under the Bush administration maybe there was something
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: called No Child Left Behind Behind AKAY, which was an
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: educational where it's like said, maybe you said left behind,
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: I said left alone here, Who knows. I think the
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: seems probably would have taken.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: It slightly ripped it, yesh. I could be wrong, though,
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: but Charmer says, the results will determine how much money
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: this suck shack gets. So I was like, oh, what
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: you paid off? And they didn't bring attention to it. It
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: was just it was just there. If you're listening, you
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: heard it. And they start they said, for the next
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: couple of weeks are going to be drilling into you
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: guys or the facts all the answers for these questions.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: So you get it. So we another little mini montage
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: of them learning. So in the classroom, so missus k
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: is like we're gonna be reading a Kaka car. This
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: just kept going like this is just padding right, Yeah,
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure exactly what that meant. Yeah, the dodgeball guy,
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: who seems to be a recurring character, now the dodgeball teacher.
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: They get the answer wrong, you throw the dodgeball at them.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: Take your number two pencil?
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: And what kind of pencil do we take again?
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: Number two? Take a number two?
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: Looks like you took a big number two.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's quite so. Is you can see I'm holding
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: a big number two in my hands, enjoying the weed
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: and feel of it.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: I know this seems childish, right, but this would slay
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: in primary school. The teacher are saying we're holding a
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: number two. I think kids would find that funny.
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: Well, yes, is there something we really use in Australia
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: the whole bathroom code thing number one and number two sometimes.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: I know I've used it definitely in the past, so
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: it's not something we say all the time. Aliot, holy
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: is just either doing a wee or a poop.
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: It feels like a very American thing, like so number
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: one or number two. Actually it makes a whole lot
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: of sense. Yeah, I mean, you may have kids are
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: a bit shy. That's saying no, I need to go
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: take a massive dump.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: It's weird. I feel like in life you evolve from
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: when you're a kid. You nominate and you announce what
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: you're about to do. If Holly says I'm going to
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: do it, I have to do awi, or she just
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: to do better. I have to do a weez and
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: poos or whatever she's like to do a pooh, she
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: announces it to the room. She leaves. Elliott. Now, since
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: starting school, I think he just now says I have
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: to go to the toilet and he leaves. Right. But
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: I think as you get older, I now say I
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: don't say I'm going to doing a poop, but if
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: I have to just take a leak, we say do
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: number one. We will say it's going to take a leak.
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: I think that's our way of saying I won't be long. Yes,
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: if you say I'm going to the toilet, then you
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: say I'm back in twenty Keep it rolling, keep the
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: show going. It might be a while. You watch your
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: stories for a while. Yes, we'll come back to this
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: one in a minute. Freeze roam, put it on. Have
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: a look at some tiktoks. Yeah, so going for a
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: Wii back in a minute, leave it on. I still
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: hear it. Going to the toilet, push bores, watch something else.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: For a while.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it makes a whole lot of sense. The other day,
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: I haven't going to the toilet. I couldn't find my phone.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: Nicholas like, what do you did your phone for? I'm like,
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: I need my phone on the toilet. Do you take
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: your phone to the toilet? I do? Yeah, you can't
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: even recall the last one you went to the tour
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: without using your phone.
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: Well, if we're using the phraseology that we've just talked
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: about about in terms of again, I mean I won't
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: be having a Wii and sort of looking down. No,
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: got other things to do with your hand.
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: So it's a modern Because did you ever take a
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: newspaper or magazine to the Oh yeah absolutely, I rem
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: my uncle Daries have a magazines and I was like
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: it was the best. Oh absolutely, I'd get long, I'd
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: sit there for an hour. Oh yeah, god knows, I
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: certainly did that. You look back and you realize, oh
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: my god, there's so unsanitary. Even still the phone. You
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: think the phone's right, we have the phones in our hand.
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: Then we wipe our ass, and then we go out
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: and wash our hands. We don't wash the phone. No,
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: so our phone is just constantly when's last time you
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: washed your phone? Our phone has toilet hand on it
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: every day, not toilet hands. Oh no, because the hand.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: How many how many times have we said that?
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: I mean, if you thought about everything that could just
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: make you sick, make you sick, or just go wrong
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: in this life, in this world, you wouldn't do anything.
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna out myself here. It's been years since I
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: have directly with my hand touched a toilet door handle.
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: I don't do it. Oh really, yeah, just it's gross. Mate.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: If I'm at home, it's okay, right whatever, so be it.
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: But if I'm out somewhere, you know little latches, we
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: I get pissed paper, and i'd do it the paper. No,
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: I'm still use my bare hands from that. I don't know.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: Even taps in public toilets, I don't. I use my
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: hand my arm here and knock it up. I won't
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: touch on my hands. It's just a weird thing for me.
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: I can't touch door handles or the taps in public toilets.
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: I think I'm taking it on a case by case basis.
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: If you go into a certain bathroom it's kind of like,
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: it's kind of gross. Yeah, I think I'm gonna have
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: to be using the elbow here, or as you said,
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: just grabbing a water toilet paper, and yeah, I don't
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: want my bare flesh touching anything in this particular establishment.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: I can't recall many times when I've gone to a
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: public toilet and it's been terribly gross. But I have
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: to throw a local business under the bus here. Right,
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: Adventure Park in Geelong. We love going to the Venture Park,
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: but Holy needed to go to the toilet the other day, right,
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: and the girl's torlets were being clean, so I was
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: taken it to the men She's still young enough, she
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: can come to the men's she's a cubicle anyway. And
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: I walked in and this you're not just holding her
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: up over a urinal. Have fun, good lick everybody. So
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: I walked in and this smell was so overwhelming. I'm
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: not joking. It felt like I've been punched in the
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: face and I nearly projected I've vomited from the smell.
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: Like you know how sometimes you get smells where it
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: just instantly makes you want to throw up. Oh yeah,
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: absolutely this. I have not ever in my life smelled
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: anything like and I've later found out that it was
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: the sewerage leak, but like this smell, I can almost smell.
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: It makes me feel sick in my throat. Now I
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: nearly vomited, Like my body nearly just announced it vomiting.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: It was horrific. It's terrible when that happened.
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: Lou had this the other day, and I lovely Luis
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: had this not long ago where she was talking about, oh,
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: there was some event that happened. I can think about it,
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: but if I start to tell you about it, it's
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: actually going to try it might make me physically Yeah,
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: I said, well, don't tell me.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah. The two months for me with this one, I
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: have not experienced anything like this where it just my
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: body just tried to just vomit as a result. When
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: it was called Eureka Nightclub, oh, I think it's called
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: Eureka again, but it's now a fancy establishment. It's gone
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: through a lot of change. It was a dirty nightclub
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: when I was a teenager, right, I never forget walking
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: in and the floor was just I'm talking maybe an
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: inch deep in who knows what it was, right, and
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: guys are just walking through it to get to the
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: urinal gross and I remember there was like a section
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: where it wasn't like flattered, so I sort of walked around,
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: went to us a cubicle and the cubicle was overflowing
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: and just this was the Eureka. This was the Eureka.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: I have a vivid memory and remember tell this story.
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: It just makes me ill.
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: Because again, sorry not to throw a local establishment under
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: the bus, but noted Geelong night spot.
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: Lammis lambies Lambi's some call it.
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: Yes, oh after the senators. It's a below ground establishment
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: and you walk down those stairs to get into.
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: This place and hazard one o one. Yeah.
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: The last time I went there, I just felt this kind.
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: Of coming out to us, like, ah, this this just reeks. Yeah,
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: this ain't great like the Eureka. Maybe where the name
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: comes from, maybe the.
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah Urica Dando here mister creative, whether he's coming up
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: with a new chance or you know, sort of urine
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: based what do you call it? Variations on the on
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: nightspot names.
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: I have not been to. Nick and I went out
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: for a drink. We got probably drunk about three weeks
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: ago and we consider going to Lamby's, but it was
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: it wasn't the right night for it. You have to
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: go on the right nights for Lamby's. I think it
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: was Saturday, and Saturday is no good for Lambia. It's
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: either Friday or Sunday. I think for lamb It's not
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: too sure. Maybe maybe went out on a Friday. I
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: can't remember, but your Lambias is the place I used
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: to really enjoy it. We look back now and think, man,
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: one fire and you're done for that post. It's a
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: it's a it's a enjoy your death thrap, ladies. That's
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: really is it really is only one fire? No no
• 42:41

• 43:15
  Speaker 2: cut to two weeks later and Lisa is excited because
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: I was really confused with the timeline here. So she
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: goes test day and then they get to the school
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: and so did they take a practice test or something?
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: Is that what she's gonna be saying? Because Bart I
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: filled out my answers with this, and he says, You've
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: got a perfect score, and Lisa's like, what did I get?
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: What do I get? She's like freaking out over the
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: score result, and I'm like, wait, wait, they're doing the
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: test today. Did they take a practice test? And she
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: wanted to get good on the practice test? Maybe that's
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: what it was.
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: Well, she's a bit of a bit of an overachiever,
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah she is. Yeah, Dad, black Juise future, who.
• 43:53
  Speaker 5: You know who will sell oranges on you? Off rand.
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: Home and wwocking him saying who's going to sell oranges
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: on the freeway now whatever? I'm like, yeah, it felt
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: cruel when Lisa was saying the other day. But Homer
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: and Bart can I kind of acknowledge this kid's gone.
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: No way. I've set this level, You're probably going to
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: reach this level. Yeah, and we can both accept that.
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: But Homan then checks the pantry. As he calls it,
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: there's a pack of chips, snarees eating some food and
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: we can see the insurance are still sitting in there.
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: They do the rule of threes. So he goes weed
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: a minute, opens it up, gets a napkin, close it again,
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: Weed a minute. There's something else he does, but he
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: doesn't touch the insurance envelope. Skinner greets Bart and Lisa
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: as they get dropped off and says Bart got a
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: perfect score and I was about to write my notes.
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: Oh fuck off, this is so lame, it's so stupid.
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: Can we not go down that route? And Lisa only
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: got ninety six percent correct because, as she says, she
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: got ninety six and ninety eight ninety six of it,
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: ninety six could be ninety eight. Let us know be blue?
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: Who could be orange? Should we? What did you watch
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: this episode? Did you watch several? More than a few.
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: It's more than a few, but almost a bunch. And
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: he says, because you've got such a good score, I
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: guess on the at this test, but you exempt from
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: the test and you're going to be riding the helicopter.
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: And he takes them to the helicopter and I just.
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: Got wait a minute, what's going on here?
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: What's going on here?
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: I must admit though, I mean, is it? This is
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: where he's walking to the helicopter and the school band
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: is playing like the Rocky theme or something? Did wouldn't
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: you like to once in your life enter a place.
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: And the theme song to.
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: Introduce to introduce dando, We're going to play the Rocky theme.
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: It's like, well, you need to get married, that's how
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: you do it. What did you interview your wedding? I
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: don't think we actually had music really. We entered to
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: You're My Best Friend Queen? Like cool theme is? I
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: know what you're trying to say? Though, usually like guys
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: when they walk down the eye with the Greensman, it's like,
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: what are they walking down to?
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: Or yeah, I say I decided to I don't know,
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: make it late career pivot and going to m m ah.
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: What would be my theme music is? Can we Max?
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: I entered to my wedding with my Greensman to the
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: Degeneration an X theme song. Wrestling fands that they will
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: know what it is. It's like, are you ready they know?
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: But DX is a faction, a group, and we did
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: the DX pos and we got to the front. Yeah,
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: wrestling fans will know that. One fantastic. Uh listening to
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: something I think it was, I've forgot it was Eddie Murphy,
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: but he was talking about Mark Tyson. I think I
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: was watching some YouTube video game up with or Eddie
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: Murphy's impressions of various people. He was saying that Mark
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: Tyson used to end of the ring and he never sung.
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: He just had like one note, like a bass note.
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: Just that's terrifying. Yeah, there's a wrestler in aw who
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: comes out and it's just literally just and it's like,
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: that's scarer than anything. Oh. Absolutely, I don't need cool
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: fucking music. It's just the sound about. It's just doom.
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: It's impeded, it's impending doom. I love it.
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: I love it anyway. But yes, but they get on
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: the get on the helicopter.
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: Yes, they do get on the helicopter, which turns out
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: to be Conna Air as you mentioned earlier, and Charmers
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: also send skin out there as well. Because I don't
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: know why thinks very little Skinner, they would have needed
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: someone to look after them.
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: I think so yeah, and yeah, Charmers, that's probably thinking, ah, well,
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: another opportunity to get one over on this shomp.
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: So they leave Springfield, which is referred to as the
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: armpit of America's butt crack on the sign and Bart
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: explains to the other kids, go the other bulls. They
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: think they're actually going Tottle City. That's where they are going.
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: They think they're going somewhere different though, Oh what was it?
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: I can't quite did you watch this episode? Did you
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: watch this episode? That could be a new running fit?
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: So that he said they're going to be going somewhere
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: and they don't realize this is all a scan, but
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: explains it skinners circus. Maybe I don't know, but he says,
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: they're actually going to watch the episode, so we're going
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: to be hiding you all in Capital City. Meanwhile, Homer
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: arrives at work, finds his ID and then in the
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: glove box in the pantry, and then realize, oh shit,
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: the insurance form still in here as well, so he
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: realizes he's now financially responsible for his own actions. And
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: then things start going wrong. I think lightning strikes right
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: next to him, he starts panicking up. This is a
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: fun story, but it would have got old by the
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: end of it. I'm assuming him trying to avoid danger.
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: But I think Homer doing a Final Destination parody throughout.
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: I think that's that's a perfect They may have already
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: done it, forgive me because I haven't seen them all,
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: but a trios of horror on Final Destination would be cool.
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: Oh sure, yeah, I mean I'm wondering what sort of
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: comedic spin you could put on it. What's the premise
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: for it. I mean, I think this is a good
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: premise to sort of have that. But yeah, I love
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: the idea of him just trying to avoid trouble or
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: trying to avoid catastrophe.
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: In the simplest of scenarios. Oh yeah, we wouldn't normally
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: not think anything could possibly go wrong.
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: Well, when we talk about those Final Destination movies and it,
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: you know, just the real joy of them is, like
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: you can just tell the glee that the storytellers have
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: got into. Okay, this looks like the most innocent of situations.
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: We're sitting here in Dando's podcast studio. But that light,
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: what's the holy shit, crash bandicoot up there. He looks
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: like he's help some spiky shit that could end up
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: in my skull, all that kind of business, and just
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: take that and you run.
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: We want to get to hear? How do we get there? Yeah? Yeah,
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: it's like putting together mouse trap, very much, very much.
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: Those cool videos you see on YouTube where it's like
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: all these different contraptions to get a basketball to go
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: into a hoop. It's like, are they cool videos on YouTube?
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: There's many cool videos on YouTube? Are they like like six?
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: And it depends on you subscribe to? Okay, you want
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: to get into the dark corners of YouTube, you know
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: when it's like two am and in a dark corner,
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: like how did I get to hear? And you're like
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: backtrack from that video to that video. I'm like, how
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: did this video suggestions lead to this? Because I watched this,
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: all my suggestions is going to be about this.
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: I watched one video saying the doomers are right, and
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: now all of a sudden, there's just dooms growing all
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: the time.
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: Have fun or not?
• 49:41
  Speaker 5: Dear stupid insurance company. I meant to mail this on time.
• 49:49
  Speaker 5: What do you mean? Too bad? Screw you eh, yeah.
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: He tries to drop it off, but he's going to
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: be back in three hours or back at three pm.
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: Maybe back I think it's back three pm, like a
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: three pm, Yeah, definitely three Did you can watch this episode?
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: Because he's stopping his daughter's wedding is the reason he's
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: not there anywhere?
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: Yes, we've got three pm in our heads, but it
• 50:09
  Speaker 3: could well have been.
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: Well, definitely three pm, because it's that three oh one.
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: When Burns gets hurt.
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: He's like, oh yeah, absolutely, but yeah, the sign could
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: have said back in three hours, and we were doing
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: the matter.
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: It was back at three pm. Yeah, that makes more sense,
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: doesn't That's why it has to get two three pm? Yeah?
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: Did you even watch this episode? I try to, But
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: then the pop plant drops on Homer's arm and he
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: just basically tells the bruise to go away. So whatever,
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: It's now time for the test, the actual test in
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: the cafeteria, and Skinner Charmers tries to use some motivation
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: by saying, imagine each question is a baby chicken. If
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: you get it wrong, the baby chick dies. I would
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: have died anyway. That's unfortunately the how did he reach
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: this position? That's terrible, terrible advice. Yeah, I know that's
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: what with Alliott with his goal Kynoe. I always say
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: to him, treat every kick for goal like you're trying
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: to win the Grand Final. And there's a lot of
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: pressure in a kid. But it works for me because
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: now he kicks and he's just like he keeps goals mate,
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: Like he's just good at it. He's like, I try
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: to pretend like I'm this goal. It might just be
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: a practice shot after school, but I'm like, this has
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: to go through.
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: Okay, that's good that you were indoctrinating him from an
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: early I.
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: Might tugger Wood his dad and like the dad David
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: Beckham's dad was just the prick because I didn't realize
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: all these famous like MJ. Beckham, Tiger Woods, all these
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: number one stars of all time, they all had harsh
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: upbrings like their dads were pricks. Yeah. Absolutely, I don't
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: want to be that. But like I just tried to
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: say to Elliott, you have talent here, Let's not waste it.
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: Well, to quote Chris Rock, pressure creeds, dumbs not hugs.
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: A lot of people quoting Chris Rock lately, and Chris
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: Rock says this Chris Rocks, like, can we stop taking
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: advice from Chris Rock please? No?
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: No, that is full of good, good tips about some things.
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: Certainly about some things. Yes, he knows how to take
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: a hit, that's for sure.
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: Apparently Willis Smith referenced the slap in some songs related
• 51:55
  Speaker 3: or released just recently, and everyone's kind.
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: Of like, yeah, you should be really embarrassed, but you
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: kind of suck as a result of that. Don't release
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: songs anymore, will just.
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: Be or maybe just go enjoy your untold millions place
• 52:08
  Speaker 3: of an arts island.
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: But they're four minutes late to start. Is like, go go, go,
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: go go, And Lisa is just hearing all various sounds,
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: and I thought they really captured the vibe of what
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: you're doing a test when you sit in there and yeah,
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: you're nervous, you don't quite understand one of the questions,
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: and you're looking around the room and everything just seems
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: to be like amplified or who sounds everything, It's it's
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: nerve wracking. Oh yeah, absolutely, lot of pressure you put
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: on yourself doing these tests. And you look back here
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: and you think none of those tests mattered, none of them.
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: Oh no, absolutely not. That. I mean, they mattered, but
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: I would still be here if I didn't do that test,
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean? Oh yeah, Why did I
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: spend so many hours stressing about how I'm going to go?
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: It didn't matter. Yeah.
• 52:43
  Speaker 3: I have an incredibly vivid memory of when I was
• 52:46
  Speaker 3: in like fifth form or something and doing like.
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: A history yeah exam, and yeah it was typicult. Seventeen
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: year old wasn't paying attention to history. It didn't give
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: a shit, and I was looking at this I don't
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: know why. I remember this specific question was with like
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: some historical figure in England in the seventeenth century or whatever.
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: It's like, I don't know this at all. I don't know.
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: I've heard this guy's name, but I don't remember a
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: damn thing. And I was like, but I've gone George Washington.
• 53:15
  Speaker 3: I've got to write something down. I can't remember, like me,
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: what I wrote, but it was just not what was required.
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: Well, they were rewarded for guessing apparently. Oh yeah, apparently
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: I'm still here, so you know. So they're doing the
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: test and Lisa I liked that they referenced Millhouse's eyebrows here.
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: This is the first time his eyebrows I swear as
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: appeared in a previous episode the eyebrows, But maybe it's
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: not because I use this gift all the time with
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: Millhouse's eyebrows. This must have been the episode that featured it,
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: because I now that I look back, I'm thinking I
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: thought this was a back reference. But no, Maybe it's
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: just been such a part of my life that I
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: assumed we'd reviewed an episode that had the eyebrows already.
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: Could we had that feeling we had the Millhouse lower
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: those eyebrows. But the a bit there, that's a gift
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: that I use all the time. It feels like it
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: was before this. It does, doesn't it. But maybe it's not.
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: It's just gonna use it all the time. Who knows.
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: But she struggles with the first question. She's not having
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: a good time. They arrive at Capital City, which is
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: the birthplace of Capital Punishment.
• 54:08
  Speaker 3: That gig yeah, I think this might be the same.
• 54:11
  Speaker 3: I've written a note here. They're lingering a little long on.
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: The visual gags, okay, and that may be one of
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: the ones where the sign gig yeah, you've stayed on
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: this maybe two seconds too long. I should be able
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: to see it. Wait what yeah? Yeah? As opposed it
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: should be I blinkingly miss it. Yeah, as opposed to
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: Look how funny we are.
• 54:31
  Speaker 3: You're getting this right? Yeah, you guard it, you guard it.
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: The kids are still all mocking Skinner, Ralph needs potty
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: and Otto he's just dancing, and Odo is mesmerized by
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: his dance. As we said, oo very expendable at this
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: point anymore. You tell you what I want, what.
• 54:46
  Speaker 5: I really really want?
• 54:47
  Speaker 3: So tell me what you want?
• 54:48
  Speaker 4: What do you really really want?
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I want when.
• 54:50
  Speaker 3: I really really want, So tell me what you want.
• 54:52
  Speaker 5: What do you really really want?
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: Ralph? Are you almost finished?
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: I finished before we came in. They get back in.
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: The bus has been stripped and stripped. Yeah, I thought
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: Capital City was like the nice place. Apparently it's now
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: the ship place.
• 55:06
  Speaker 3: Well, every city's got the rocks. Wrong side of the
• 55:09
  Speaker 3: track has indeed.
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Skinner's worried Tho because they get to the corner
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: of Martin Luther King Boulevard and oars as.
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: Way, but that's it. There's no that's that's into the gag.
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: Is there a joke there that I'm missing? I would
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: speculate that we've got a whole bunch of white people here,
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: and they are at the corner of a whole bunch
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: of whe people right in the show as well, but
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: that is.
• 55:31
  Speaker 3: Correct, yes, And they are at a corner of an
• 55:34
  Speaker 3: Hispanic and an African American part of town. They might
• 55:38
  Speaker 3: be like, oh, now we're in trouble.
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: They can't be the joke, right, Is it a joke.
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: If it's a joke, it's not a good joke. Yeah,
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: I don't know, just unfounded white panic. Yeah, it just
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: goes nowhere. Homer is sneaking in the front door at home.
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: You just want to hurt himself, and he tells margin
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: needs to be safe or they're going to go to
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: the poor house or back to the poor house, as
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: March says. So she invites me to his book club,
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: and he says, that's the most boring thing ever, Thank
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: you so much. That's going to be I'm gonna be
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: safe here, or so he thought. He walks in and
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: he sees all he sees is danger. Yeah, and that's
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: the thing. If you are trying to avoid danger, you
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: see danger in everything. I can imagine living the life
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: of someone who find us the nation, everything would be
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: a worry to you. Like I can't walk anywhere. Everything's
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: going to have an impact. But if you lived your
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: life like that, like genuine, this is genuine life. Like
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: that's why I find us the nation works because everything
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: could kill you. Yeah, but if you lived your life
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: worrying about it, you wouldn't live a life like getting
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: into a car. They are a killing machine. How many
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: times have we said this?
• 56:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so many variables in the way you drive, so
• 56:33
  Speaker 3: many variables in the way other people do in the car,
• 56:36
  Speaker 3: in the road, other people's cars, mother nature.
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all it takes us a branch to fall in
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: front of a car. They swerve off, and then that's it.
• 56:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I mean lucky you're with Amy, but sure, yeah, friend.
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: Of the pod. But Homer sees Haling her hair catches
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: on fire, which and then shoes get thrown to Cookie
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: Kwan's eyes, and Agnes gets cleaved, and a Nagel starts
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: kissing March and that's when you go, oh watch this
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: go fuck. This escalated real fast. But Homer's just imagining
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: Nagel kissing Marge. And yes, I said that kiss totally
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: would have been using a commercial. Lisa is still struggling
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: with the question so she skips the question too, did
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: like this use what you're learning question one? That happens
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: so often you're like, oh, but I couldn't do a
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: question one. But this is where Charmer says, you know,
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: you can guess. You get points for guessing. Oh you can't.
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: You don't do it, nobody guess. Just be right, get
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: on your knees and prayer to guy that you're going
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: to be correct. Do just just pray to anybody skinning.
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: The boys meanwhile still in Capital City, just running around.
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: What was were they just going to Capital City? Was
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: that just just go to Capital City for the Why
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: does go to some of the park whatever? Who cares?
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: So Ralph is now meanwhile missing, but he turns up
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: on a I think just a garbage barge. I guess
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: you call it? Yeah, yeah, barge. So they're called barges, right,
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: sounds about run. Did you watch this episode? I watched
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: her Just not know what barges are. I've always called
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: it a barge. Whether that's correct or I don't know,
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: I think it is. Maybe Homer needs to keep say
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: for ten more seconds he's watching Agnes. She drops the
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: cheese knife, like what are you doing? Women? So he
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: picks it up. Then Nagel's scarf is caught in the
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: nearly caught the fan, so he cuts that. Then he
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: gets caught in the fan, which calls him to fall
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: on the table. Picks from the cheese fall over, going
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: towards Lwan. He throws all the cheeses and stops the
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: more very matrixx Matrix X. Yes, and I did see
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: a funny clip from the Matrix recently yesterday. Actually it
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: was the news report to announce that The Matrix was
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: being filmed in Australia, like a new film starting count
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: Reads is now filming in Sydney. I want to say,
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: the Gold Coast. Whatever it's called, it's called the Matrix.
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: But so he saves the day there and Maggie shoots
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: the knife out of I don't know how the knife
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: gets into her cannon, but she shoots a knife out
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: the window or something and it hits Burns in the head.
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: And this whole next minute I just went this is gross.
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: This is just modern day Simpsons at its worst. Basically,
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: so Burns is bleeding everywhere, so lifts the knife out
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: of his head and the blood comes out. So he
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: then comes out of his nose. So Homer sucks on
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: his nose and the blood come out of home? Is it?
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: And I went, ah, we've done a noping out of
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: that state. We need to really get away from that
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: stupid comedy that the Simpsons does not need that at all.
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: March March forgiving him. It was almost at the point
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: where they wrote this line as if it was meant
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: to be ridiculous.
• 59:18
  Speaker 5: Are you mad I forgot to send into payment?
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: No, sweetie.
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: At this point in a marriage, a wife should know
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: what her husband can do and what he can't.
• 59:26
  Speaker 3: Was I to think you can nail and an envelope?
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: It's such a cop out ending to this. Yeah, but
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: the thing is they're just trying to basically establish at
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: this point that we know it's real. Nothing really matters.
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: It doesn't matter anymore. Yeah, nothing really metrics. Yeah, not
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: really metrics. But then I did like the follow up though,
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: is there snuggle insurance? Because if some I'm about to
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: file a claim And I'm like, okay, at least it's sweet. Yeah,
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: the word snuggle always gets me. Skinner then takes the
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: bart slingshot and he writes a note they used crane
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: to save the boy because the cranes are about to
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: be I think the pianos are falling. No, no, swe
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: something's gonna happen. Basically is gonna I think they were
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: dumping stuff onto that barge. They I'm not too sure,
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: but anyway, he basically wants the crane driver with the
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: storage unit to save Ralph. He sends the sling shot
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: hits the guy, which calls him to knock out, and
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: then he crashes. And then the pianos are falling out
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: the side of the shipping container and they're about to
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: fall on Ralph. So then he skinner than does something
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: that he hasn't done as a principal ever to this day.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: Something runs on top of the shipping container whilst is
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: in the air. He uses centrifugal force, uses the momentum
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: to make it go away, and it ends up tipping
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: pianos into the orphanage for the musically Gifted. It all
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: worked out. Yeah, a nice little ridiculous moment. But that
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: felt like vintage Simpsons. Yeah. I was just about to
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: say that feels like season eight even earlier. I feel
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: like that feels like a Conra o' brian gag. Yeah,
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: just of course, the piano ha'sall into a gift that
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: the Ophage for the musically gifted. They're right back at
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: school just before that, though, he's reading The Muckleberry Finn.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: So they're good book. Yeah, so they've learned shit. Now
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: they think he's cool. He's reading them an actual book
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: and they're enjoying that as well. Really greets and blah
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: blah blah, calls more names. Not really that important. Lisa
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: still doesn't know any answers though she can't do anything.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: Millhouse apparently finished it and it's slows two minutes to spare. Yeah,
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: but rut it on his shirt to n't he or
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: I don't know, you've got stray marks and he's wiping off.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: It didn't really go anywhere the Millhouse bit. No, really,
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: the pass should have been that he wasn't answering them
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: correctly or something. It was just sort of payoff there.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: But Skinner enters and says, this test is a joke.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: We're not going to be doing this. I now know
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: how kids really learn, and he's schooling me. Throwing it
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: at this test and basically just stopped in the test
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: isn't important. What's important is how we teach these kids.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: I know how to teach kids now, which is a
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: very valid lesson. He learned something today, sure, yes, and
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: skin Lisa says, here, oh yeah, am my brain the
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: outcast again, and he also then lifts the band on
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: this is another padding lifts the band of dancing and
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: they dance the footloot for what feels like thirty plus
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: seconds if not more. Yeah.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean it's really just the finale of yeah footloots, Yeah,
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 3: right down to all the dance moves and everything like that.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 3: It's almost like a pitch perfect rendition of it. And
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 3: there's like, uh, another musical outro. I'm not sure about that,
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 3: but no, Footloose.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: Is kind of a jam. So I've never really liked Footloose.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: The song that's just one of those ones where I've
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 2: just gone run to Paradise is another one for me.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: There there's some there's songs that songs that I don't
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: enjoy that. What's the bon Jovi song that I don't
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: really like? It's not is it Living on a Prayer?
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 2: Living on a Prayer? It's just those songs where I've
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: heard themselves and I go, it's just not for me.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: I don't know, just I know I'm not saying it's bad,
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: but it's not for you. Yeah, Footloose? So I just
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: go Did you even listen to the song? Yeah? I
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: get people listen and enjoy Footloose. I've personally never seen
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: the movie, so I didn't realize it was a direct
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: reference to the end of the film. Ah, I think
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: cause I've never liked the song. I just never bother
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: watching the movie.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 3: The original foot Loose is kind of fun. It's very
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 3: eighties Bacon, right, yeah, Bacon.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 3: And then they did a remake like in the two
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 3: thousands or the twenty tens or something. Did they really
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 3: yeah with Was there a TV show foot Loose?
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: I don't think so. Okay, yeah, I'll take that back.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 3: The remake was fine. Actually one of the first pearances
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 3: of Myles Teller. Okay, yeah, he was really goodn't it?
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: Kid?
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: Can dance Footloose? TV show? Is there anything? Is it?
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: Was there a Roadhouse TV show?
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 3: No, but there was a Roadhouse remake that was on
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 3: Amazon Prime.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 2: Assumed it was a show maybe, Yeah, So when it's
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: on the streaming service, I was always assume it's a show.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 2: I get where you're coming from, but your Footloose was
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: twenty eleven. Wow, that long ago. Kenny Warman, there's Ren McCormack.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: A city. A city kid moves to a small town
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 2: where dancing is banned.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 3: Apparently apparently it's based on a true story.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the story of Footloos.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 3: You would have these towns in say like Middle America
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 3: that were sort of like in the buckle of the
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 3: Bible belt or whatever, and they were.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: Like no dancing at all.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they had their reasons, and I'm sure the makers
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 3: of Footloots just sort of said you can't dance. Wait
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 3: what Yeah, it was probably part of some other overall
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 3: statute or something like, you know, you can only dance
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 3: in say it's certain authorized gatherings or something like that
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 3: or whatever. It's like, what, you can't dance?
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: Watch this? Wait a minute, and that's.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 3: What would happen. It's been a long time since I saw.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: Footloot, But well, it makes the ending makes a little
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 2: bit more sense. They're knowing that's a direct reference. I'm
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 2: just going, why is charmers just dancing for like thirty
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 2: seconds here? Oh yeah, that makes more sense now. But
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: still padding, Oh, definitely padding, Yeah, more padding in the Paddington.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: I think if there was less padding throughout the episode,
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: this one wouldn't have felt so.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: I mean they they've done this in the past with
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: the end to the Mister Burns Larry Burns episode anywhere
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: you one, what's that that? That's from Caddyshack, caddy Shack. Yes,
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 2: so it's worked, but it's.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 3: Also a shout out to Rodney Dangerfield as well.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, because there's no really reference too loose throughout
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: the episode at all? Is it not at all? No,
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 2: not at all. If Kevin Bacon was a guest, start
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 2: would have made more sense. Makers of the show. Did
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 2: you even watch this episode? Yeah? Who knows? Anyway, overall,
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: I don't think it was a terrible episode. I thought
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: it was a lot to enjoy.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 3: Actually, yeah, well we certainly found a lot talk about. Yeah,
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 3: I mean, even if neither of us watched it.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: And I think we just need to accept that every
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: episode is going to have moments that make us annoyed.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 2: Nothing's going to be fantastic anymore. But just try and
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: find some positives. But we will point out when things
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: are ridiculous as well. Oh yeah, we have to. It's
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: our sacred duty. It is our sacred duty to make
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 2: you realize what's good and what's bad. In Season twenty
