  Speaker 1: co-host Mitch and I go all the way back to

  Speaker 1: revisit an underrated episode from Season 3. It is Lisa's Pony.

• 0:19
  Speaker 1: a classic from the Golden Era. Why are we doing this? Well,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: we thought it'd be a fun experiment just to see
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: how we view these classic episodes now through the lens
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: of both being parents. Since we both have daughters who
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: we love to spoil relentlessly, Mitch thought it'd be a
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: fun idea to revisit Lisa's pony and compare our parenting
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: abilities to that of Homer. Now, today you're going to

• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Welcome to Four Finger Discount, where this week we're going

  Speaker 1: all the way back to Season 3 to revisit Lisa's Pony.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: I am Dando, joined right now by... Mitch. Mitch is back,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: once again. We've reviewed this one back on.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: I feel like my name has enough pizzazz. Mitch. Yeah,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Dando goes up. Mitch is just.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: are you Mitchell.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: I am technically Mitchell but it ends with static Mitch
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: like Mitch.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Mitch it's not showbiz we used to have the argument
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: is it Dando and Mitch or Mitch and Dando and
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: you always swore Dando and Mitch was better.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Mitch and Dando ends better but I do think that
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: the D of Dando grabs your attention straight away Mitch
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: and Dando Dando and Mitch whereas Mitch eases into it
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: like Mitch yeah true so my name begins indecisively and
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: it ends like your speakers are broken We'll be glad
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: you're back.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's good to be here.
• 2:43

  Speaker 1: of the name Mitch.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean, I don't need to get your

  Speaker 2: That's a first name.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Cicero, maybe.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Figaro? Figaro?
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: You're going to throw names out there now?
• 3:27

• 3:44
  Speaker 1: episode where we are continuing on where we stopped back
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: in 2020. And we're also going to go back and
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: revisit a classic now that we're both dads and see,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: we view it through a different lens. And you chose
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Lisa's Pony. Why did you choose Lisa's Pony?
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Well, because I'm a girl dad and I have this
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: sickening amount of love for my daughter that is in,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: I've been described as wholesome dad by a few people
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: at work. So it's, I was thinking about, I think
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: I very much wanted to do a Lisa episode when
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: you first said, let's do a classic one.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: I was like, right.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Lock in on a Lisa episode.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: I'm glad you didn't choose Lisa's Substitute. I thought you
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: were going to choose that one. I was like, don't
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: choose that one.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: I was trying to go something. I nearly went Lisa
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: the Greek. That's a good one.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Watch it recently with the kids. The kids are loving
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: The Simpsons now.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great episode. Yeah, that is a really,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: really good one. But then- What a gaver. Then I
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: thought- I thought about Lisa's Pony as being one that
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: is- kind of it like middle of season three or
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: not quite middle of season three i feel like this
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: gets glossed over a little bit in the history it's
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: got a lot of really good beats it surprised me
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: going back to it and even to the point of
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: how much this can be glossed over i had kind
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: of not remembered the different pieces that connected together in
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: this episode but i you know i'm like all right
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: so there's really good stuff about the horse and obviously
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: homer and quickie mart I had forgotten about the talent
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: show at the beginning, which is a really solid opening.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: But the first thing that I think I'll talk about
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: as a theme for the episode that's interesting is in
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: my head, four years of raising a girl, four years
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: of being in that state of mind of like, I
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: really struggled to say no to her. I love her
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: and she's our only kid, so we can spoil her.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: And I just want her to have all of the things.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: In my head, this was a really noble Homer story.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: parenting had tinted my memory of the episode, I think.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Because then when I went back and rewatched it, I
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: was like, oh no, it was Homer's a deadbeat dad
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: and he's taking a shortcut to victory.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: That is one way of looking at it, yeah.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: And he does genuinely commit to it, but it was
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: such a... I don't want to say cheap, but it
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: wasn't the way I had remembered it. It wasn't like
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: this super loving theme. I think it ends there.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I think deadbeat's a bit harsh.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Well... I say this with two beers in front of me,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: but it was interesting as well to jump back into
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: it to go, I'd also kind of forgotten how much
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: alcoholism played a part in the Homer character early. Early, yeah. Yeah,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: and I almost wanted to go back and re-watch and
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: be like, when did that change? When did they drop that?
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Because as it went on, it's less of a thing. Well,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: he became.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: I think there's a vibe of realism with the alcoholism
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: with Homer, right? And I think the more the show
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: became cartoony... the less they relied on the fact that
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: he drinks alcohol for him doing stupid shit. It was
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: just he's doing stupid shit because he's Homer Simpson.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Because he's dumb, yeah.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Because he's an idiot, as opposed to, oh, he can't
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: say no to a beer.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Now it's, no, he's just doing selfish shit because that's
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: what Homer Simpson does in season 14.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah. There is a groundedness about it, though, and there's
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: like a pathos that comes of it. I think it's
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: part of what made the show so fantastic to so
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: many people, that it was- early yes exaggerated it's cartoon
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: but you saw so much of your own friends your
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: own family or whatever it might be in in the
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: characters on the show so that was another thing that
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: i had kind of forgotten about when i was diving
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: back in like oh yeah right that's not that's not
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: like i just said yes to this crazy thing to
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: make my daughter happy it's i'm a drunk and i've
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: ruined her talent show so i'm going to now ruin
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: our budget and potentially my relationship with my wife God
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: bless Marge in this episode. She's really hanging on strong.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: It's also paying the price himself, though, because if he
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: just gave up the beer, he wouldn't have to work
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: the second job.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Obviously, he's going to be earning more money working the
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: second job.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: No, we won't be doing that.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we won't be doing that. And I think they
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: just wrote that in there as a way because people
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: at home, if you're going to really critique it, say,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: why doesn't he just give up the beer? Why doesn't
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: the family just give up a few things? And it's like, no,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: we're not doing that.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: There's a few moments, even when he chooses to get
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: the beer, there's a few moments where they do go,
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: they ask the obvious question that the viewer would ask
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: and then answer it. Like, Homer, why don't you just
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: go there first? Hey, I don't tell you how to
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: do your job. Yeah, exactly.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Going back to, he said he ruined the talent show.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: He did. And yes, he did, right?
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: If he didn't, in the grand scheme of things.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: If he didn't go to Moe's, he would have got
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: there in time. He went to Moe's. He actually timed
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: it perfectly. Like he was, the guy closed early. Homer
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: wasn't to know the guy, he shouldn't have gone to Moe's.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: I completely agree.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Probably shouldn't have wasted the five minutes. Exactly.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Shouldn't have gone to Moe's. He still got what was needed.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: In saying that, though, where was Marge? Where was Flanders?
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Like, it wasn't... Lisa's the one that forgot the read.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: I have a question. Where were they? She said that
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: she tried calling them, but couldn't get on them. What
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: would Marge have been doing?
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Not that it's Marge, but Lisa's the one who forgot it.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: Did she forget it or did it break? I thought
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: it was... Oh, did it break, did it? Okay.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: But it's... Homer's at work. He gets a call from...
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: It's not specifically his fault that she didn't have it. Yes,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: he did the wrong thing, but you can't entirely blame
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Homer for the fact that she didn't have a read
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: at the talent show.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: You can't entirely blame her. No. I do think something
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: that I, again, have learned with a kid in the house, though,
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: it's pretty hard to ask a child to see the
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: world through the eyes of anything other than that child. Yeah.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: And I assume that at eight, that that still holds true. Yeah.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: I do like, though, that in this... The story for
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: me is that as parents, we make sacrifices. And we
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: make sacrifices for our kids that our kids are unaware of.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: And there's a reason they shouldn't be aware of it
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: because they didn't ask to be made. We made these kids.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: And it's part of our job to provide them with
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: what they need. And we should never throw it back
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: in their face. And I just like the fact that, yes,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: he could have just given up beer. And he probably
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: could have. And yes, it was a shortcut to get
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: the pony to earn her love back or whatever, right?
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: But he still worked this second job and never once
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: threw it back in Lisa's face or felt any angst
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: or anger towards her. her because he knew it was
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: his job to provide for her. And he kept this
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: from her because he didn't want her to feel guilty
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: that she has this pony and he has to work
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: two jobs as a result. So there is that element
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: there of at least he was selfless in that regard
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: where he was willing to work two jobs to keep
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: her happy and never once threw it in her face.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: It was actually Marge who told her. They play it
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: off for joke.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Whether they're playing it off for comedy, though, I think
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: there's probably a truth in what you're saying. But he's
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: also that he didn't want to tell them because he
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: was embarrassed to say that he was working at the
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Quickie Mart.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: You reckon it was that?
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Marge, I did something I'm not proud of and I
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: don't want the kids to hear about it.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Was that the second joke? Was he announcing the second joke?
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: That's when he comes home from the first shift. Oh,
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: my God, you killed him. That's such a.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: I hope Marge.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Busted!
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: But there was a lot to like in this episode.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: There was lots of parodies and whatnot. I think the
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Godfather one, that was one that went over my head
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: as a kid. I never saw the Godfather until I
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: was older.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that confused the fuck out of me the first
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: however many times I watched this episode. Why is the
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: horse in a bed? Why does it look so terrifying?
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Why is it just chilling?
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: It's just like, hey, I'm in your bed. It's also
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: a good Lisa story as well. And I'll spoil one
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: of my favorite moments, but I love when she's like,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: oh man, all these years of lobbying to be treated
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: like an adult have finally blown up in my face.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: That's when she has to make the decision. So she also.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Grows in that regard and realizes that, you know, parents
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: make sacrifices for us. Yes, I want to be happy.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Yes, I want a pony.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: But you know what's more important than a pony is
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: a father's love.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: And not that he didn't love her, but it's like,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: I need to, there's more, yes, we say he fucked
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: up the talent show. He didn't really fuck up the
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: talent show. He played a part in it, but you
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: need to move on. Like you and I, both of
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: our teams lost in the finals. You need to quicken
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: in AFL finals recently. You can be angry, you can
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: be sad, but it's like at the end of the day,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: It's just a footy game. And then this is just
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: a talent show.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: Move on.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: There's more important things.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah. But we said that with age and experience. And
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: we would not have been able to do that when
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: we were younger as quickly or as easily.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: No, that is true. What's something that your parents did
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: when you were eight that you could not forgive them
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: for for a while?
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: Divorce. Or remarrying.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: Either of those two things.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: I don't think there was anything smaller than that. um
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: i'm trying to think i reckon there was a time
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: actually you know what it would have been would have
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: been things like not being believed as a kid when
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: you knew you were telling the truth yeah uh because
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: like obviously you lie from time to time as a
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: kid it's actually fuck it's frightening how quickly kids learn
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: to lie it says a lot about who we are
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: but the i do remember times of um like it
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: if i remember what it would have been about but
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: me telling my dad like no this is what happened
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: like this is what i did and he'd be like
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: no you're a liar i'm like like that wounded me
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: in a way that i was like even at i
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: don't know eight nine ten whatever age i would have
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: been it was this i wouldn't have been able to
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: articulate it like that then but i look back at
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: it now being like That was one of those first
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: fundamental moments of like, our relationship just changed in a
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: way that is never going to be repaired from. Yeah, really?
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Not that it's a broken thing, but it's just like, right,
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: that is a new, in parlance of today, core memory.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: It was like, you've just put a chink in that
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: armor now that is never going to be able to
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: be buffed out because you didn't trust me when I
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: needed you to. Yeah. So that would be something that
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: I think I would have gotten really indignant about.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: What's the problem though? I try to explain to my
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: kids that, Because sometimes they pretend like they're hurt and
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: stuff like that. And I try and say to them,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: if you keep telling fibs, when you do need me
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: to believe you, I'm not going to. And they still
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: tell fibs. It's hard to sort of just teach them
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: that you've got to be honest.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: Has Lex ever, has she fibbed yet?
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Yeah?
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Massively. Is it fibbed?
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: It's because there's different kinds of lies. There's lies because
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: they don't want to get in trouble. There's lies because
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: they want to get what they want. They're the worst ones.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: When they tell an absolute bullshit, they just manipulate. It's
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: more manipulation as opposed to, I'm just not going to
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: tell the full truth because I don't want the repercussions
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: of something I've done wrong.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: As opposed to, I want that, so I'm going to
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: lie to get it.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: So, she threw her first proper sickie the other day,
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: which was a good bit of lying. If I'm being
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: perfectly honest, she told me all of the symptoms. She's like,
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: I've got a sore throat and I feel warm and
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: my nose is blocked. And I mean, to a degree,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: it was true. We've all been sick over the weekend. But,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: she was also just bouncing off the walls for the
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: rest of the day. Like she was happy as anything
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: to have been home with us. And I think I
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: might've spoken about this already, but there was a moment
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: where she realized that she was about to walk into
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: a lie. So she didn't so much lie, but she
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: realized that she was about to have to, and she
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: just froze on the spot. So she'd found like two
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: bucks or something. At home? Yeah, at home. I had
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: some loose change sitting on my bedside table. And she
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: was playing in our bedroom. I was in the lounge room.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: She came out. She's like, Dad, I have some money.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Where'd you get that from, Lex?
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: And then like, I know that's a visual, but if
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: anyone's watching this, she just looked into the distance.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: She's just like, oh, fuck, oh, fuck, oh, fuck, oh, fuck, oh, fuck.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know what to do.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: She just refused to answer it and then walked out
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: of the room.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Back through a hedge.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: I was like, that's, you know, I consider that a
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: form of lying. Funny as hell. There is part of
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: me where I'm like, I mean, you have to learn.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: Everyone lies. She's going to have to learn how to lie.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: I just hope that it's about funny stuff instead of it. Obviously,
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: there'll come a time where it's like, ah, it's a serious,
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: we need to have a sit down and address a
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: problem lie.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Wait till you get the whole.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: That's a long way off.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: You know, she's asked Ash for something. Ash is like, no,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: you're not having it.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, but dad said? No, no, not even that.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: It's just going to you without acknowledging that she's already
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: asked mom and going, hey, dad, can I do that?
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: What did your mom say? When you say that, he's like, oh,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Mom, I haven't said no in weeks.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Who?
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: But has she done that yet? Well, she's gone to someone.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Gone to you, you've said no, and she's gone to
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Ash just to see what the other one says without
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: saying dad said yes.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: No, she hasn't. Yeah, they're the good ones.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: She has played us off with the- ask me for
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: an icy pole. And then like, mom, dad says I
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: can have an icy pole. So like that, that's halfway there,
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: but she hasn't, she hasn't completely admitted what I've said yet.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: And she, has she gone, has she just said no
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: to you yet?
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, fuck. Yeah. Yeah.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: She runs the house.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Oh, kids. Anyway, you've only got one of them, so
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: that's all right.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: The good thing about having two is that you can,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: go and do something and lead them together because it's
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: like well if one's hurt the other one will come
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: and tell me at.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: Least yeah yeah we're trying it's like because we're in
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: our late 30s and had children late we've taught her
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: zero zero zero so if either of us has a
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: fall it's on lex to get us out of.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: The house does she know how to unlock your phone
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: have you shown.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: Her that no um mostly because well i've.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Shown the kids i feel like that's a dangerous world
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: yeah i did teach her how to To get up
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: the emergency number. So if she needs to dial- Can
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: you do it without unlocking?
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: You can dial triple zero, I think, on anyone's phone
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: without unlocking.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Ah, there you go.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Hey, my favorite.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: But Lisa's Pony, did you have any favorite moments?
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: So I've always really liked the interactions between Homer and
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: the Pony Lady, for want of a better word. Like,
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: the one there is half a million dollars. You take
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: a check. Is there any place where the lost ponies
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: run away? No. But I think on the rewatch, the
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: bit that made me laugh the most was Pet Store Guy. Yeah.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: It's just Wiseguy, isn't it?
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah. What is that stink? Oh, it's you. This is
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: the thing, though.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: I don't think it needed the, oh, it's you.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: It's like, what's that stink?
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: And then just have Homer arrive?
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that would have worked. And maybe just the sheer
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: brutality of Homer getting smashed in the head by the
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: sliding doors.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's sort of an iconic visual, isn't it? Yeah,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: I think there's a few clip shows and things like that. Yeah,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: it comes up when they talk about the... Repeated blunt
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: trauma to the head. We actually haven't touched on the
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: Homer B-plot of working at the Quickie Mart. We haven't
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: really dove into it. What are your thoughts on it?
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: I think this is a pretty memorable B-plot.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: It is a memorable bit.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: It's a memorable finale, isn't it? And closing sequence.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: I mean, you get some really, really good jokes about
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: convenience stores in there, the hot dogs, the go change
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: the expiration dates on the dairy products.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: All that sort of stuff.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah. What was it? The illustrious and the high-profile. Midnight
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: to 8 a.m. shift. The young man who you replaced
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: is rolling over in his grave. Too much. Apu not
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: being able to sleep at like 3 in the morning
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: or something like that. You've got Princess Kashmir at home, mate. Yeah,
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: I know. What a bachelor. Yeah. That was another one.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh, Bachelor Apu. What a world.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: It's also like that closing visual is perfect for memes,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: isn't it? Like when someone's retiring or whatever, it's like,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: He was shit. When Labashain retires, it was like, he
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: bowled pies. I think I did it for Kawaja.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: You did, yeah.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: We need to start that cricket podcast, by the way,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: because Labashain getting named in that South African team is
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: a podcast in itself.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's not a great title, but sure, we
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: can work something up.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Some of my favorite moments. So I really enjoyed this
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: because I have vivid memories of having this kind of vibe.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Staying up late and seeing like a cast and whatever.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: So the kids are watching cast and Billy Vanilli is
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: impersonating a McNugget. Heyo. Well, it's still fun to be
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: up late because they have no idea what he's talking about.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: But it's just the idea of, I remember watching Conan
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: and not really getting Conan's gag. And I'm like, I
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: don't know what's happening. here, but it's 1130 and I'm awake.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: And mum's sitting next to me on the couch and
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: she's not telling me to go to bed. I'm like,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: this is cool.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I think I loved Letterman for the same reason.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: Like early, it was just a case of like, this
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: is what adults do. This is fun. And then when
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: I was in year seven, I had a, I've had
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: another friend who liked Letterman, so that was kind of
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: a fucking weird vibe thing that we had going on
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: at lunchtime, just talking about what happened.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: At Letterman the night before through half-open eyes. And then
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: you start to get it, and you're like, oh, I
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: actually am growing up now.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's kind of cool. There's a beautiful album that
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: you can get on Bandcamp called Stories for this- Sorry,
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: did you say Bandcamp?
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Bandcamp.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: It still exists. Yeah.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: What was that other one that started with S? Sound... SoundCloud?
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: SoundCloud. Yeah, that's still around.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: That's where podcasts used to live, SoundCloud.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: It's still around. Yeah. Really? Yeah. Anyway, Stories from the
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Starlit Sky by Gavin Osborne and Daniel Kitson, which was three...
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: Your man. My man, Daniel Kitson. Three one-hour shows that
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: they did. I think the original conceit was they performed
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: them at midnight, three nights in a row, and then
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: they brought it out to Melbourne. A stand-up show?
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: Not stand-up, it was more story, like literally story. So
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: Daniel would read, had written three different stories, and Gavin
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: is a musician, and he would sing some accompanying songs
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: that would break up the acts of the stories. Then
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: they redid it and they did it as a three-hour show.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: They just did them back-to-back. But they're all stories about
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: the magic of staying up late and trying to stay
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: up the whole night.
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: And.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: this year um i'm i'm looking at some accommodation somewhere
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: i don't really care where but i want to get
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: out with lex in the middle of december to watch
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: the gemini media shower and like that is going to
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: be i'm not going to make her stay up all
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: night i'll let her sleep but i think that will
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: be that first time of like being awake at maybe
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: three or four in the morning with her and being
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: this exciting moment of a kid being you know like
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: you know a daughter with her dad staying up, looking
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: at the stars in the middle of the night is
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: something that I hope will be a really, really cool thing.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: It actually is really exciting to them. Because I remember
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: last year was the first year we let the kids
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: stay awake for the midnight fireworks at New Year's Eve.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: And it meant so much to them.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: Like, it's tomorrow. Like, they could not believe it. And
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: I still remember that feeling as well. Those glorious times
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: where you get there. You know that thing of like,
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: you might be watching a movie or you're on the
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: couch or something and you look at the time and
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: you're like, fuck, it's 9.30. Well, you wouldn't have said
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: fuck because you're a kid, but you're like, It's 9.30.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: They haven't said anything.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: They haven't said anything. If I just stay really, really still,
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: maybe they won't say anything.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: They think I'm in bed.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It's 10.30. I might just close my eyes and
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: pretend I'm asleep. They're about to put a second movie on. Yeah. Yes.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: So, Elliot experienced that for the first time this year
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: with the football. So, when it's a night game, sometimes
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: we say, you can stay up until halftime. And it
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: gets to halftime and he's just like, it's time for bed, mate.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: He's like, okay.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: And Nick and I always usually say, If he just
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: goes with it and says, all right, you can stay up.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: He's just like, yes! It's the greatest thing ever.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: And him staying up until like 11, because I take
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: him to the night games and things like that. And
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: now he can actually do it, because he used to
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: be a shithead the next day. But that vibe of
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: staying up to halftime, we'll see if John's getting belted,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: you can go to bed. Otherwise, you can stay up.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: And then the sort of realization of, I'm staying up.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Yes!
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: And to us, it's just, it's 9.30. But to him,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: it's like a whole new world.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. A lot of my parent friends, 9.30 is
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: staying up for them. Oh, no, it is.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: To be fair.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: We went out on a date night, I don't know,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: about a month ago.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: And we were out.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm going to go out and have a few drinks,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: go for a dance, blah, blah, blah. It's like 10.45.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I just want to go home.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: We were knackered.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 23:39

• 24:45
  Speaker 1: and Friday is- Fuck, what am I doing here?
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, check it out. Reddings, every Tuesday, they have retro,
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: and it's only $ 11 a ticket. Yeah, right. That's so good. Yeah.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: Shout out to Reddings.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: I know. Village do it as well, but it's just Reddings,
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Village has still got a stink about it.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: It's not as good as cinema. Stank. Sorry.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: Stank.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It's one of those ones where it's like, I'm
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: only going there- Because it's got the kid's cinema. The
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: kid's cinema or- Gold class. Although, truthfully, I hate that
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: because the intermission, it's hard to get them to settle
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: back down.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: I know I'm biased. My kids are fucking angels in it.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: They do their thing. They come straight back. They're quiet
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: the whole time. And I've figured out a hack for
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: the kid's cinema. You know those beanbag seats down the bottom?
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: They look uncomfortable as shit. They look like they're too
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: close to the screen. Well, we sat in them for
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: the last two times, second or third row back.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: They're a dream.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: You can almost lay down in them. And the beauty
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: is because they only use the speakers from the front-
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: in the kids' cinemas because otherwise it'd be too loud, right?
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: So there's no chaos between you and the speakers. So
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: you can actually hear the speakers and you don't actually
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: hear the chaos that's happening behind you because A, you're
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: not seeing it, the kids running around, and B, it's
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: not blocking, it's not in between you and the actual
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: audio of the movie. So I actually watched the new
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Port Patrol movie with the kids on yesterday.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yesterday.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: And it was just like, I was just at the cinema.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: I didn't even realize I was in the kids' cinema.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: I turned around at one point to have a look
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: and it was just kids running around and standing on
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: the seats and.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: Blah, blah, blah. A guy in Charlie Clawson doing an
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: episode about the new Paw Patrol movie. We'll keep an
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: eye out for it.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: But did you have any other favorite moments from this episode?
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: You know what I liked, actually, now that you ask
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: about it, it's not a favorite moment, but it's a
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: favorite usage. I really liked the way they used Bart
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: in this episode in that it's not a Bart episode.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: He's there enough. He's funny when he's there. It never
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: felt crowbarred in, but it was also like the confidence
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: to just go, we can sideline him for this one.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: It's fine. And I don't think subsequent writers necessarily did
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: that quite as well. That Bart would be kind of
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: inserted in an obnoxious way and in like a, well,
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: we need to have him sort of way. Whereas it
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: was just like, you know, talent show, very funny, laughing
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: at Homer in the quickie mart, very funny. The little
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: moment you just mentioned of like just staying up late.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: I can get Lisa to give the pony back. Yeah.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Like it all feels true to character. Yeah. I don't know.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: It feels like he's only got two minutes of screen time.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: It might be more, but it doesn't feel like he's
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: in it for much, but his presence still felt really well.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: It could have very easily had a Bart B plot.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: You're right. Some episodes would have crammed into Bart B
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: plot for no reason. Him and Milhouse are fighting over
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: something or whatever. I actually thought when I saw him
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: and Grandpa doing the video game, I thought, oh, is
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: this the video game one?
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah. But it wasn't. It was just one scene. It
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: was just a random moment. I fucking... Get on.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: The floor for this?
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: That was amazing.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, I related to that.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: I'll go down the floor for this.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: I have... Like, Lex has got.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: Lex loves, like, so many kids. Like, you know, she's
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: imaginative play. But she's got two or three go-to role-play games,
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: and she's so fucking demanding about how you play them.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: Oh, she's in that phase, is she?
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: She's out of it now, but she went through it, yeah.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: I'm a mermaid queen, and bad guys are trying to
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: get me, and they are sitting on my tail, and
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: you're Prince Superman, and you have to fly down, and
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: you say, get out of here, bad guys, and you
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: punch them, and you throw them into the sun, but
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: you try to lift me up, and you can't lift
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: me up, and then I'm still stuck in here, and
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: then you have to put the bad guys in jail. Excelsior!
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: But Superman doesn't say Excelsior. Just say it! Just say it!
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: And then I'll do it. And then I'll go off
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: script a tiny bit and be like, I'll go to
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: pick her up. She's like, no, no, no, you can't
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: pick her up. Or it's like, you can't pick me up.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: Or sometimes it gets grim. I don't know if Holly
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: does this. Girls have got twisted imaginations.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: We talk about dying a lot.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: Holly went through that phase of death.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: A lot of death. Yeah, death. I think one of
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: them was she wanted to keep recreating Moana. Moana 2,
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: where she swims down to... Is it Lullaby?
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: I recall nothing about that movie. It was in and
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: it was out.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: She gets struck by lightning at the end of it, though,
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: and she gets knocked unconscious. And Maui is holding her
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: in his arms.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: So she'd be like, okay, can you pretend that I
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: got struck by lightning and I died? And then she'd
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: just lay there and pretend to be dead. And I'd
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: be like, Lex... You've got nothing for me to do
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: in this role play. Like, I'm just here waiting for
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: you to not be dead anymore.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: Can we do.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: I'm like, what if I do CPR? No, I'm dead.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: Anyway.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: So, there is a lot of... I got down. I'm
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: going to be on my knees for the next 15 minutes.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: Pretend weeping over your pretend corpse. Like, Lex, this hurts.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no. Holly did the same phase. And it's just...
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: You do the slightest thing different and it gets so
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: angry at you. You're like, why are you getting angry
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: at me? We're just playing games.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah furious filthy we've been having a lot of like
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: lex you have to understand that other people are going
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: to want to play different games i didn't think i
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: would have to explain yes and to a four-year-old but
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: this is where we're at i'm giving you something i'm
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: gonna run with it i'm We're going to sit down,
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: we're going to watch Who's Line Is It Anyway? We're
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: going to learn something about how to bounce off your
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: scene partner.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: I watched Who's Line Is It Anyway the other day
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: with Richard Simmons and it was amazing, hilarious.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: I've seen that one. It's been a long, long time.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: Did you say Colin Mochrie was on a podcast recently? Oh, yeah, okay.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: Maybe that actually, that would explain it because he was
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: talking to a couple of Australian guys. Okay. So just
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: some clips that popped up on Instagram. But he was
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: talking about the filming of Who's Line that it was
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: basically like they would do an entire season over the
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: course of two weekends. It seemed like that must have
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: been the cushiest gig of all time for a while.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: I can imagine them doing like, you know, six, eight
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: episodes in a go. Yeah.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: And it also makes sense to my brain now when
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: I look at that show, because for a long time
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: I was like, fuck, these guys don't age. Because they
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: did five years worth of work in months. In two weeks.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: That was it. That was all I got fed on.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: For the next little bit. There just aren't shows like
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: Who's Line anymore.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: No, certainly not. Thank God you here had another role,
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: didn't it? Did they have a little bit of a resurfacing?
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: It wasn't as good, though.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: Like, it tried. I felt like once it changed networks,
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: it wasn't the same. I feel like it got more
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: money and it wasn't as good when it had better sets.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: One of those weird ones where it.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: Needs to feel indie.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's got to feel like anything could happen. As
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: soon as it's a really smooth production, it doesn't feel
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: like anything could happen anymore.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: Next question. You there, eating the paste.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: Trivia time. My first question for you is.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: Oh, can I cheat and give you the same... Whenever
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: we first did this, I have the same questions. Oh,
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: do it.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that'd be fun.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Fantastic. Bit of fun.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: If you still got your original notes.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah. That's wild. Yeah. Wow.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: For every episode?
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: I got like 130 of them in Evernote. That's pretty cool.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: And then I think I still have a notepad floating
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: around somewhere from home because when we first started doing this,
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: I was doing it by hand.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's really cool actually. My first question is, What
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: did the nice man catch in their basement?
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: A snake? Yes. Great. I do have... I'll read something
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: out to you when we get to the end of trivia,
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: which is kind of fun. What TV show was Homer
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: watching during Lisa's first steps? Ooh.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Is it Knight Rider?
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: No. No.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: Suxing Hutch?
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: No. Ooh. I threw out there, the plane, the plane.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's Fantasy Island.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: Okay. No, that's the seagull.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: My next question is, How many flavours of ice cream does...
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Is it Phineas O'Butterfats?
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: Phineas? Is that how you say the name? Phineas?
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Phineas O'Butterfats. It says on the sign, it's so
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: many flavours of ice cream.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: It's a lot, by the way. It's a lot. 763. Nah,
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: it is 4,000. Over 4,000. Jesus. That's a lot of
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: flavours of ice cream.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: It's 4,500, actually.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: Shout out, by the way, to Messina Gelato that has
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: opened in Geelong on the subject of ice creams. Messina.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: Messina. Messina?
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Spell it. I'm pretty sure it's M-E-D-O-N-E. I went
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: to Messina Gelato and I ate some ice cream. I
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: think it's M-E-S-S-I-N-A. There's one... I think there's one in Melbourne.
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: There's one in Brisbane.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: It's 5,600 flavours, actually.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, shh. So I wrote 4,500 and I was like,
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: that doesn't seem right to me. I better double check
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: it out.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: It's 5,600. Yeah.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: If you're going to have fat, do you think butterfat
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: would be like both the most appetising and the least
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: appetising sounding thing at the same time?
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: What are the various fats?
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: Beef. Like tallow. You could have... I mean, you've just
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: got your dairy fats and that sort of stuff.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: What's the best one for cooking eggs in?
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: Butter, by far. I'll probably use butter fat then. Yeah, yeah. Fuck,
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: I made an omelette this morning just like on a whim.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: One of those classic like open the fridge and I
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: got half a capsicum. I've got a red onion that
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: I have no real use for and I've got eggs.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: I've also got some ham. Just throw it all together. Yeah,
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: and just flawless.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: Also, some salsa verde. Oh, yeah. He really took it
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: to another level. A little bit of sour cream on
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: the side. What's the villain called? Is it Sosa? Kaiser Sosa.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: Kaiser Sosa. I was like, this reminds me of that villain.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: Could have been one of his aliases. I was in
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: a barbershop quartet with Salsa Verde. What date did Homer
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: put on his check to buy the $ 500, 000 horse?
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: I know it was 2054.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. That's a good guess. Yeah.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: I don't think it was about 50 years ahead. Was
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: it July something?
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: No. What was it? January 1st. January 1st. Okay.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: It's pretty obvious when you say it that way. My
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: next question for you is, name the five items on
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: the stable fees. She gives him a receipt.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: Oh, shit. One of them was grooming.
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: Yep. Food.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: Feed, yeah.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. I think they were the only two that
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: I read, so let's have a guess. There would have
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: been something like bedding. Board. Board. Board. Yep. Oats.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: No, that's food.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: I feel like I'm playing Family Feud.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I didn't realize how adult Family Feud has become.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's filthy now.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: I was like, I was putting on for the kids
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a fun game show, something different.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: And it was like, things you might find in a jacuzzi.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: After a party. And one guy's like, a used condom, Steve.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: And he's like, used condom.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: Let's go upstairs. Ding.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, it's a used condom. And I was like,
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: Ali's like, what's a condom? And I was like, I
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: think it's like a balloon. I'm just like, he's aged,
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: but he's like, he's still too young for me to
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: explain what that is. And it was like, it was
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: just really dirty stuff.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, what are we doing here? Yeah.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: I feel like Steve Harvey started- Things you smell that
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: you shouldn't. And it was like, your girlfriend's knickers. And
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: I'm like, what?
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: What the fuck's going on?
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: Or your ex-girlfriend's knickers or something.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: Ex-girlfriend's knickers?
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: Now it's a crime. It's like things you smell that
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: you shouldn't. I was like, why would they smell knickers?
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, we're done with this show.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: Jesus. I remember it used to just be euphemisms.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: Not just outright. It's just flat out now. Names of
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: porn films.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: Places to put your penis. Anyway, back to the horse. Shoes?
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: No, it was trainer and lessons.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: They're the other two. Oh, okay. Let's just get to
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: the point. Not even jokes. Not even jokes at all.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: Very accurate invoice for a horse adjustment.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: How much was it?
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: $ 530 a month. Correct, yes. Lisa wanted a pony. What
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: did Bart want? Hmm.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: That is a good question, because he says, why does
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: Lisa get that and I don't? Because you love me. No,
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: what is it?
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: A moped.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: A moped.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: Which I could see him getting around on. A little Vespa,
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: like Luca. Yeah, I could.
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: But it also doesn't really sound like something Bart would
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: ask for.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: I want a moped. Well, it's a mode of transport.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: He's not going to want a pony. Wouldn't he want
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: a new skateboard of some kind? You're not really cool
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: if you're riding a moped around, are you, in 1991?
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: It's not old enough for a motorbike. Moped's in the
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: sweet spot.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: What are the ones that have the, where you stand
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: on them?
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: Not like a bike. Segway.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: Segway, that's the one. I rode those once with Nicola
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: and I.
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: Never had the pleasure. Never done it.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: Nicola and I did it with her sister in the Adelaide,
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: in the winery in Adelaide.
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: And her sister ate shit.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: She lost control. And gone.
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: They do. A moped looks like a fantastic device for that. Like,
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: there's no brake, right? Like it's all things. So once
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: you lose control on that, you're fucked. There's no coming
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: back from losing control on a moped. Didn't the inventor
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: of a moped die in a moped accident, by the way?
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure that's the thing that happened. He went
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: off a cliff.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: One of life's great joys, though, is seeing someone in
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: a situation like that, not really with a vehicle, but
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: I think it's when someone's about to slip and you
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: see them slipping and you're like, and they're trying to
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: stop and you know they're not going to be able to.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: It's the wiggle.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Something you can't fake as well. No one's ever...
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: Other than Philip Seymour Hoffman, along came Polly. Yeah. The
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: best man is in the house. But it's really hard
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: to fake a slip. Like it's just such a.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: It's hard to fake the mannerisms.
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: Inherent thing. Yeah. Yeah. The sheer fear.
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: Or not even fear, it's just the bewilderment of what's happening.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: Because your brain hasn't had enough time to process it.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: To tie it back into... So I was carrying her
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: sort of up on my shoulder the other day and she...
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: pushed against my head and she had a moment where
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: like she overbalanced and I managed to catch her and
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: correct her. And it was one of those first moments
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: of a kid being old enough to realize the mortal
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: danger they were just in. So I was holding her
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: over tiles. Like she was going to hit the ground
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: hard if she slipped and she just laughed her ass
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: off because her body didn't know how else to process
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: the fear that she just felt in that moment. It
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: was one of those things. You're either going to cry
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: or you laugh. And we just said that. I was like,
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: don't tell your mum. You shit your pants. Like this close, Lex.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: You were like, I don't know, 500 grams center of
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: gravity that way.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: And you were gone. Yeah. See, Holly, yeah, about two
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: weeks ago at school, we always play in the playground
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: at the school. And she was, there's like three tiers
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: of like where the monkey bars are. And she was
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: at the top and she didn't go in the monkey bars.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: I'm watching, I'm like talking to my mate. I go,
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: she's not going to jump in there, is she? I'm like,
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: she's going to jump.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: And before I could say, don't do a whole, she
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: just jumped and she's, and she landed flat on her ass.
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: And I was like, why did you do that?
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: And she's like, I don't know.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: I was like.
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: You're not going to do that again, are you? And
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: she's like, no.
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: No.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: She was like, I don't know what came over me.
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: It didn't seem this high. Yeah, I get it. I've
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: walked over bridges and looked down and thought, what would
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: it feel like? Yeah. I'm an adult, so I don't
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: do it. I'm a relatively well-functioning adult. But yeah, like,
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: I get it. I understand that thing of a kid
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: of like, that's not that far. She's going down and
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: watching for a while and she hit the ground.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: She was as high as the roof.
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: She was pretty high. Do you ever wonder why so
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: many structures are actually really easy to jump off? Why? No, no.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: I don't have an answer to this, but have you
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: ever been in a hotel or- Verandas or balconies. You're
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: on a 30-story balcony and be like, why isn't there-
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: lasers and barbed wire and shit to stop me going
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: off this why is it waist high yeah like i
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: remember this is a tricky visual we're staying on um
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: uh hamilton island up in the with sundays and i
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: don't know we're 10 stories up or something like that
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: but there was a little courtyard balcony type thing um
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: just outside enough room for a couple chairs and a
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: table and then uh our our was in like a
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: corner of the building. So it was sort of like
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: it went left and then about a 45 degree angle out.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: Just you and Ash there?
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: Lex was with us at the time. Okay. And.
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: That adds a new dimension to it.
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: Within arm's reach, just outside the balcony on the exterior
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: of the building was a concrete block that would have
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: been half the size of this table. Well and truly
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: enough size, if you were so inclined, to step over
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: the balcony and either stand on that block or sit
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: on that block. And it would have been a sheer
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: plummet to your death if anything went wrong. But there's
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: this weird fucked up part, I think, of a lot
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: of people's brains. And as much as I didn't act
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: on it, I was standing there looking at it going,
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: I'm kind of curious. I kind of just want to
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: go out there and sit on it because it would
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: be terrifying and I would like to feel that rush
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: of adrenaline. And I won't because I have a one
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: and a half year old sleeping behind me and that
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: would be death. But why the fuck am I even
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: allowed to make the choice? Yeah, like, take that power
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: out of my hands. And how don't 500,000 people a
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: day die by falling off of high things because of
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: that stupid part of our animal brain?
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: Well, it's like we went to one. We parked on
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: top of Market Square, the shopping mall here.
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: In Geelong, right?
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: And the kids can just reach through the bars that
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: are on top.
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: Like, let's look at the edge. And we get to
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: the edge and I was like, actually, kids, take three
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: steps back, please. Because Holly's like putting her head through.
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: And I was like, why is this possible? Yeah. Crazy
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: simple to kill yourself in the Welsh.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: We went to Sydney for Elliot's birthday and it was,
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: call me crazy, right? But the door to the balcony
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: didn't lock. And because we had two kids there, I
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: could not go to bed and sleep knowing that if
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: they got up in the morning and opened that door,
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: they could go over that balcony.
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: You would have been out searching for some dowel rod
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: to put.
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: In the tracks. So I went out on the balcony
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: and anything that was on the balcony, I put in
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: front of the door. And in the living room, I'd
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: drag the couch to the other side and put it
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: in front of the door and just basically repeat to
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: the kids, do not touch that door. I couldn't sleep
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: that night.
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: Paid a clown to sit out there and terrify them
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: back in the room.
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: But do you think I'm weird? Am I crazy?
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: No. Once you're in that moment, I think I know
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: that feeling of just spiraling out of control like that.
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: I've done that with her. You ever have that moment
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: of just like, I'm an nerd from Ash. What if
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: she's crashed?
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: I did that once we were in England and Nicholas said,
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: I'm going for a walk with mum. We'll be back
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: in 20 minutes. And they got back two hours later.
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay.
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: Both their phones, they turned both their- You're in.
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: Jack the Ripper country. You're well and truly right to
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: be afraid.
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: Turned both their phones off and they went out for
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: a coffee and just didn't tell us. Didn't answer their phones,
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: didn't anything. They just rocked up two hours later at
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: tea time. And they're like, what are you worried about?
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: We just went for a walk.
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: We knew we were fine.
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: I'm like, actually, I didn't.
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: Because I'm here with, I was only at it at
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: the time. I'm like, I'm here by myself in this house.
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: Your dad's at work. No one else is here. I'm
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: here with Ali, who's a baby. We're in another country.
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: I know you're from here, but you haven't been here
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: for 10 years. And you said you'd gone for a
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: walk with your mum and be back in 20. And
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: it's now two hours later.
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: I think.
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: SIDS was another one where I would get a rational
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: fear like that. Like when Lex was in that peak.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: Rolling around.
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So like, you know what, two months to eight,
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: I think it's the first year is when they're at
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: their highest risk from memory. Um, but I would have
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: moments where I'd just be like, no, I can't sleep.
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: I'm going to just kind of go sit in a
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: room when she was like a tiny, tiny kid. Once
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: you're in that zone, you can't get out. Yeah. I'm like, fuck.
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know. What if tonight's, what if something happens tonight?
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: I gotta just, I just have to go be there.
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: Just sit there listening to an audio book to keep
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: myself awake and make sure she was breathing.
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: My mentality is always like, I would rather... Because I
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: always get the idea of the one night I don't
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: do it is the one night something will happen. And
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: even though it's not going to happen, that's how my
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: brain works. This is like, the one time I don't...
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: The one time I relax is when something bad will happen.
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: That's why I never relax. Do you ever watch the
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: first season of Fargo?
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: No. Oh, man. So... it's really, really good. But there's
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: a moment there where like one of the main characters,
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: dad is a retired sheriff. And when shit's going down,
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: there's this little moment where he's just like sitting on
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: a chair in the front of the house with a rifle.
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: And it's just that thing of like, I'm going to
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: sit here for the next 16 hours just to make sure.
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: And nothing comes of it. But it was a moment
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: that even before I'd had a kid, I was like,
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: that's badass. And I get that level of love. And
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: then since having a kid, I was like, yeah, a
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: hundred percent. That thing of like, when there is danger,
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: real or perceived, it's that thing like, all right, I
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: don't care. I'm doing this to make sure that things
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: are all right.
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because I would rather the next day go, oh,
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: that was a waste of time.
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: But know that they're safe.
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: Then something happening. Anyway, back to Lisa's pony show.

• 46:01
  Speaker 2: Oh, sorry. Oh, sorry. This is still Lisa's Pony to
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: a degree. Yeah. I was talking about like my original notes.
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: Do you remember, I don't know if you'd still be listening,
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: Jason DeVicentes?
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: Oh, what a name. I do remember that guy, yeah.
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: This was a mailbag contribution from whenever the hell it
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: was that we reviewed this.
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so you're going to be asking some mailbag questions?
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: No, it's not a question.
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: Because I've asked for some new ones.
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: Okay, fantastic. That'd be better. I was out in your
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: neck of the woods today, drove past the Ford factory.
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: My mate said, there's that factory they're closing. I said
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: to my mate, I know, that's where Dando works. He
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: said- Who's Dando?
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: That is one of my favorite emails that we were
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: ever sent.
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: It's weird, though, because when you listen to a podcast,
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: you feel like you know the person. And then you
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: assume that all of your friends do as well. Everyone
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: else does, yeah. Because we grew up in the generation
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: where everyone consumed the same shows, the same radio shows, everything, right?
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: And now it's just so selective.
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: I wonder if he even knows who I am anymore. Jason?
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: I hope so. Maybe he's still listening.
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: That's why I love going through the old mailbag. I'm like, oh,
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: these names. Like your man, Andrew Johnson.
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: He's gone, but he still talks to you.
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'll let him know that I've come back. I
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: might be able to bring him around.
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: The top three films at the US box office when
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: this aired. Number three, Highlander 2, The Quickening.
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: Jesus. Number three? Yeah. That's frightening.
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: Debut at number three. Number two, Curly Sue.
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: The fuck is Curly Sue?
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: Sounds like a bingo.
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: Number two, Curly Sue. Warner Brothers film. You don't like
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: Curly Sue?
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: No.
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: Isn't that the one that has Belushi in it?
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: Does it?
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: I've legitimately never heard of that movie before. Curly Sue's
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: not Curly Sue's Curly Sue. Yeah, but Jim Belushi, yeah. Yeah, right.
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: Bill and Curly Sue, a nine-year-old orphan, are partners in crime.
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: So Bill and Curly Sue, sorry, are partners in crime.
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: They scam strangers and extort money to satisfy their hunger.
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: Things change when they meet a woman who learns about
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: their livelihood.
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: With a young Steve Carell. Yeah. Um... It's a bit
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: of a discrepancy here. You got 4.6 out of 5
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: on Amazon and 13% on Rotten Tomatoes.
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the thing though. What do you trust ratings-wise
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: anymore online?
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: I still trust critics. Yeah. Like proper aggregates critics. Never
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: trust users. No. Heathen scum.
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: Drop us a five-star review on iTunes if you are
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: listening to that. I remember seeing this in the video
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: stores all the time.
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: They were hired.
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: But yeah, that's the cover I remember seeing. Her and Belushi.
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. The regular odd couple.
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: John Hughes did it.
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: From John Hughes, yeah.
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: Interesting. And then number one was another one, The People
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: Under the Stairs. Is that what I just saw? The
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: People Under the Stairs.
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: What is that?
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: It's a weird year for film or weird moment for film.
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: When a fool breaks into the home of his family's landlords,
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: he discovers that they have mutilated several boys and kept
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: them imprisoned under stairs. As fool attempts to flee- He
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: meets their daughter Alice. Can Fool and Alice escape?
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: This is the number one film in the box office.
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: Did it premiere at number one or was it there
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: from the day? Let's see what it is next week.
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: When are we talking November? 91. That's a horror movie, right?
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: So that's number one by virtue of the fact that
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: they've just come off Halloween. Halloween, yeah.
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: This is a shit ton of films. The Butcher's Wife,
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: The Fisher King, Frankie and Johnny, Other People's Money, House
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: Party 2, Little Man Tate, Billy Bathgate. There's no classics.
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: Not many classics there, is there?
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: Billy Bathgate? Is that a Dustin Hoffman movie?
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: 1935, a teen named Billy Bathgate finds first love while
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: becoming the protege of fledgling gangster Dutch Schultz. Billy Bathgate.
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: Let's have a look quickly.
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: Billy Bathgate.
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: I feel like maybe I'm thinking of something else. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: Soon after becoming the protege of gangster... Dutch Billy Bathgate
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: finds himself trapped in a world of danger and death. 2.936%
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: Rotten Tomatoes.
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: That's a shame about Dustin Hoffman. He's a really good
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: actor that's got some really bad movies.
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: I don't really hear much about him anymore.
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: He's very old. He's just doing his thing. He's actually
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: in something. I watched a trailer for this the other
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: day where I think he's helping someone crack safes. Okay. Yeah.
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: It's as much as I got for you.
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: By the way, for those playing at home, he is
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: Sam Eddick, not Dustin Hoffman.
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. But it was one of those things
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: where I was like, oh, look at that. He's still
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: doing stuff.
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, good for him. But yeah, they were the top
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: three films at the US box office. So this episode
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: originally aired November 7th, 1991. It says here Frank Welker
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: was the voice of Princess the Pony. He does the
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: voice of many animated animals. He's also the voice of
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: Fred in Scooby-Doo. Okay. He's the voice of Megatron in Transformers.
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: Okay. Yeah. He is an icon in the voice acting world. Gotcha. Yeah.
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: The chalkboard game, Bart Bucks, a not legal tender couch game.
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: Homer gets on the couch first and lies down. The
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: rest of the family arrive and sit on him and
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: Homer flails his arms around.
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: That's always a fun game. That's always fun.
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: Written by Al Jean and Mike Reese and directed by
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: Carlos Beza.
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: Beza? Beza? B-A-E-Z-A? I say Beza. B-A-E-Z-A. Yeah, I'll go
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: with Beza. That's Beza. All right.
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: So it kicks off with one of these things where
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: I feel like they've just done it because they had
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: an idea and they're like, let's just cram it into
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: an episode somewhere. It's The Dawn of Man.
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: Yep. 2001 parody. This was another thing where, again, I
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: was straight away, I was like, oh, yeah, right. When
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: they just had the full suite of classic cinema to parody.
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: And clearly these guys love 2001. They parody it a lot.
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: I've never been the hugest fan of 2001. Look, I-
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: I can appreciate it, but- I was going to say,
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: I think it is for the most part, unless you are,
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: you know, Criterion Collection sort of guy, 2001 is a
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: movie to appreciate more so than to enjoy.
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: But it cuts to Homer when the monkey's asleep. It's
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: a monkey, right? It's just a monkey. A monkey's asleep.
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: For people that haven't seen 2001, and I imagine there
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: would be some out here, the whole concept that they're
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: parodying here is that this monolith appears and that represents
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: the dawn of man, but it's this thing that inspires
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: the generation to take the next leap.
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: But in this, Homer invents being lazy. Yes. And it's
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: a very funny cut from that to him sleeping at
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: the table.
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: Sleeping at work in 1991.
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: And that's Mitch. Sorry. Can we introduce a new segment
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: of Mitch Splaining?
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: Mitch Splaining.
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: Maybe I can't change my name just yet. You reckon
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: Mitch Splaining is what you're going to stay with?
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: Mitch Splaining?
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's going to stay a segment.
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: It's already over. It never was a segment. It never
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: has been. It never was. We talked about the Mighty
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: Ducks today on our South Park podcast because the whole
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: episode was called Stanley's Cup.
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, man, that's an episode and a half.
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: Those poor kids just get slaughtered.
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: It's so good. And apparently fans... Stan Marsh is bumming
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: on cancer. Sorry. To be a coach, you have to grow.
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: He's about to realize.
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: The first time I ever watched that is one of
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: the hardest, like, cry laughs I've ever had for just
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: how evil it was to the kids. Well, that's the thing.
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: It's dead.
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: Just like. What?
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: So many fans apparently don't like it. And Trey and
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: Matt are like, no, no, it's a happy ending. Just
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: not for the people you want to be happy for.
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's so funny for that.
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: Is it the Red Wings from memory? Yeah. Detroit Red Wings.
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: Actually just beating the shit out of the kids.
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but like still plays We're the Champions.
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's Mighty Ducks ending.
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: I'm sure one of the Red Wings. I love your dad.
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: I'm proud of you, son.
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: Which is Gordon Bombay in Hearts. You've got Charlie's mum
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: in there and everything.
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: It's just such a funny flip of that sports movie cliche. Yeah. Like, no, sorry, man.
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: You were just rooting for the wrong team.
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: Because I was like, I'm watching it going, well, how
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: are they going to win this?
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: Oh, they don't. Oh, they won't. And the kid dies
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: of cancer. No hope. I think South Park are the
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: absolute best at doing that, like, real gut punch. And one,
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: I think they've done this joke once or twice, but
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: the one where Kenny dies. Like the episode's called The
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: One Where Kenny Dies. Oh, where he's dying.
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: And Stan can't deal with it and he can't bring
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: himself to see him. Then he finally works up the
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: courage and he gets there and Kenny's gone. And Kyle's like,
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: he just stopped breathing, dude. He's like, did he say
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: anything before he died? He just said, where's Stan? Those
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: guys are so good at just sticking a knife in
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: between the ribs.
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: The one before it, though, wasn't that great. It was Go, God, Go,
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: which is where Cartman wants to get the Nintendo Wii,
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: so he freezes himself and goes to the future. It
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: just becomes very convoluted and shippy. Yeah, Stanley's Cup, I
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: was like, this is what I love about South Park.
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: But yeah, so that's why I had the Mighty Ducks
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: in my mind. But then Lisa then calls Homer from
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: the talent show, and she says her sax is broken.
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: She needs a new reed, four and a half reed.
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: She's already called Marge Flanders, Patty and Selma, Lovejoy, and
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: the nice man who caught the snake in the basement.
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: And Homer's like, you know. And then you thought of me.
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: But the idea of knowing that you're not the go-to
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: for something is a very humbling thing. But it's also
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: maturing is knowing that, well, I'm just not the guy
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: for the job. Like, for example, I know that if
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: you want something built in this house, you ain't coming
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: to me.
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay.
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: If you want someone who's good at... Go to Elliot.
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. Go to the man.
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: You want someone who's good at trivia? Tell you about
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: what movie was released in 1997? Yeah. I'm your man.
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: You want a floating shelf put up?
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: Don't ask me. Yeah, you need a flat pack? I'm
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: going to do a flat pack for you.
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: I'm going to open the box for it.
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: Although, I was putting together a barbecue stand the other day.
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: A pizza oven stand. It was... four legs, and I
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: put three of those four legs on backwards. And I
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: was flying through. I was like, man, this is so quick.
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: And then I got to the next bit. I was like, oh, shit.
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Damn. Probably not the most humbling, but one of
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: the most humbling experiences of my marriage so far is
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: Nicola's like, I really want to get this TV cabinet built.
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: I'm sick of sitting here. So I'm like, you go
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: to bed. I'll have it built when you get up.
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: And I just couldn't do it. And I wrote a
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: note on the thing saying, they're missing some pieces. It's
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: not right. The instructions don't work.
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: Nicola woke up. At 5 p.m. the next night, going,
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: what's all this chloroform in the room for? So, Nicola's like,
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: I go to bed.
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: It's half built. The instructions don't work. I'll take it
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: back tomorrow.
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: Don't worry about it.
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: I've left it.
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: I'll pull it apart tomorrow when I wake up. I
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: get up.
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: Nicola's gone for a 5K run, cooked herself breakfast, and
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: it's built. She's like, there was nothing wrong with it.
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, I was looking at the
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: wrong thing.
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's screwed. She's like, yeah, it was really easy.
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: It took like 15 minutes. And I was like, I
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: was here for two hours.
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: So, she got up. She's like, I had a gym session,
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: fucking cooked breakfast.
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: She's starting work.
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: And it's just built. I came into the kitchen. It
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: was built. And I didn't say anything at first.
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: And I was like, oh, shit. It's one of those
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: moments where you're like, if either of us has an
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: affair in this relationship, it's not going to be mean.
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: Like- I'm the loser out of the couple. I hope
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: you continue to love me forever.
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: Who plays Ron Swanson? What's his name? Nick Offerman. Nick Offerman.
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: He got interviewed at the Emmys or whatever recently. And
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: they're like, what's it like being married to Megan Mullally?
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: And he's like, basically, I wake up every day and
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: I see her laying next to me and I think,
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: what can I do today to not fuck this up?
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: Yep. Solid.
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: And that is my life.
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: But then she gives over the details. Lisa does. It's
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: a four and a half read. He writes it on
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: his shoe like Andy does in Toy Story.
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: And then.
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: Sorry. It's just very funny.
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: It is. It's just very funny. Permanent ink tip.
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: See, they're the little jokes in Toy Story that I
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: never appreciated as a kid. My favorite gag, I think,
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: in all of Toy Story is... Got to go all
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: the way around the horn. It's the only way when
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: he's doing the channels. I'm like, you kids don't get that.
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: But it was true.
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: You had to go all the way around the horn.
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: It's faster. You've gone past halfway. Just keep going. Ham's
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: the MVP. Oh, he is. And Mr. Potato Head, I reckon.
• 58:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, Rickles is fantastic. He's just been Rickles, yeah.
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: He's such a heel. Yeah.
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: He's a monster.
• 58:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: Murderer! You might have been done. String him up by
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: his pull string. Nobody takes my wife's mouth but me.
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: Anyway, so Skinner's now introducing the talent show and he
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: says the doors are now locked and those in the
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: first five rows will get wet and Homer arrives at
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: King Toot's, is it a musical store?
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, King Toot's Musical Store. King Toot's, yeah.
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: At 6.55, closes at 7pm. He's got plenty of time
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: to go have a beer at Moe's first, so he
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: goes to do that. And he's making Mo hurry up. Sorry, Homer.
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: You know, if you tip the class, you won't be
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: so much fun. Sorry, Homer.
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: Sorry, Homer.
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: Kim is now balancing chairs from the cafeteria. And this
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: is Lunch Lady Doris' first appearance in The Simpsons, apparently.
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: Oh, really?
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: And Bleeding Gums Murphy's just a random judge in this
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: as well. Yeah.
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: I'm really enjoying the comic style i love that.
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: Classic but then homer's finished his beer with 15 seconds
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: spare but then we see so is his.
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: Name jeremy it's jay he says call him jay yeah
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: yeah be a pal yeah be a pal I saved

  Speaker 1: is closed early I am that moron then we see
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: Milhouse doing the spoons it's gonna get terrible just.
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: Terrible oh the best year yet this is sorry another
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: thing by the way that the writers back then like
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: I reckon maybe season 4 they really stepped this up
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: but there's so few wasted lines everything's either a joke
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: or it's setting up a joke It's all... There's no puffing. No.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: The only parts that are not, when we get a
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: little bit later, will be paying off the story. Yeah.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: But they also have to be there.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: It's so fucking lean. Yeah. The script is really good.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: And now, here's Bart Simpson, the boy of a thousand voices.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: I'd like to open with my impression of Principal Skinner. Oh,
