• 1:46
  Speaker 2: welcome to a very special episode here of Four Finger Discount.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: It is Halloween time, the spooky season is upon us,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: and today we've got a very special episode. As I said,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: we're going to be running through the top 10 episodes,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: or top 10 segments of Treehouse of Horror, and I'm
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: lucky to be doing this with the man himself. It's
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Neil Arcenti from On This Day in Simpsons History. How
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: are you doing, sir?
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Hey, I'm doing all right. Great to be here. Thanks
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: for inviting me, Brent.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: No problem. We were just talking about dad life, weren't we,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: and how it's hard to get things done when you've
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: got kids. We love our kids, but we're just talking
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: about how when I started this I had no kids.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: I was bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, newlywed, you know, full of energy.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Now I'm a dad with an eight-year-old, a six-year-old. I've
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: got shingles because I'm tired. How are you doing?
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: I'm doing good. I mean, I was going to mention, like,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: I think we're at that point now in our dad
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: life where we're starting to incorporate our kids more in
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: our day-to-day meeting or our fun stuff too, you know,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: because I saw that you were doing– how your kids
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: are reacting to Simpsons episodes. And I think I started
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: bringing my son to do trivia with me in Chicago,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: like a couple of years ago. And yeah, it's really
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: cool because he's not, he's not, um, I mean, he's still,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: you know, he can't read all the questions, right. If
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: we had him read all the questions, we'd be there
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: until like midnight. But, uh, I just have him read, hey,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: say question one. Question one. You know, question two. And
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: he just loves it because he loves talking to the mic. And,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: you know, it's just a fun thing. And it's at
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: a pizza place. So he loves pizza. I guess the
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: only downside is that it's three hours. So it's a
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: three-hour trivia night. And so he will get tired because
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: it's on a school night, too. So... I don't bring
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: them every time I bring them on the, uh, usually
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: the less busier ones, which are in, uh, February because
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: it's cold. And then in August, cause there's nothing, you know,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: nothing big around. So yeah, those are the fun ones.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Does he get dressed up? Does he do the costumes?
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Well, he, uh, no. So he won't do the costumes. Uh,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to bring them to the costume contest,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: but yeah, so he hasn't, he hasn't, donna simpson's costume
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: yet but um did say that this year for halloween
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: you're gonna dress up as bugs bunny which i thought
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: okay was amazing because it's not like k-pop demon hunter
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: or anything like that i'm like i don't know what
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: that is i don't know why you want to do
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: it okay i don't know what it is.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: My kids tried to get into k-pop although they liked
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: it they did they got into it but i was
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: just going to them you do realize that in three
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: months no one's gonna care about this No one's going.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: To care about this.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Like, we just want to watch it. Fine. You can
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: watch it. And they watch it. And now I'll go,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: do you want to put the K-pop on? Yeah, no
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: one watches that anymore. I'm like, what did I tell you? Yeah.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: I just feel like so many things that like... what
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: young people watch now don't have the staying power of
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: say like a Looney Tunes or a Simpsons. You know
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: what I mean?
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: For sure. It's been around. Yeah. All that stuff's been
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: around for so long. And I think it just has
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: that generational thing because it's lasted so long. It has
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: that generational thing. you know, thing that brings parents and
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: grandparents and kids together. And it's, you know, that's amazing.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: And thank goodness The Simpsons is part of that. I
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: realized that The Simpsons, that's why it's still on, right?
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: I think that's it. It's that Looney Tunes, they keep making,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: they're still making, well, they were a few years ago
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: making new Looney Tunes because it's an intellectual property. But
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: they know that there's that established history already. Because people
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: are arguing, you know, they'll argue until the cows come home. Like,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: what's the point of new episodes? Nobody watches them, blah, blah, blah.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: But it's not even that. It's like they know it's
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: a cultural institution. And it's just something that will always
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: have drawing power.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: If they had a camera, if there could be a
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: fly on the wall in our house yesterday, my kids
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: were so genuinely excited because in Australia, you guys get
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: New Simpsons on the Sunday and it comes on Disney
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Plus on the Wednesday here. So we get it three
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: days late, but it's pretty up to date. It's the
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: most up to date it's ever been, really. My kids
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: were so excited. They put on Disney Plus. Dad, there's
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: a new Simpsons. And I was like, oh, my heart.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: That's so awesome.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: Isn't that great?
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh, it's great.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: And they watched new ones. And do you hear them
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: complaining that it's not funny? Do you hear them complaining
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: that the voice actors don't sound the same? Now, my son,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: I will say, my son did point out, Marge doesn't
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: quite sound the same anymore. I'm like, yeah, just because
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: she's older. And he was like, oh, okay. You didn't care.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: You didn't care. Yeah. Who cares? As long as they,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: you know, I mean, obviously they're still good. And obviously,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: you know, they've got top writers on it. And so
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: I stopped, you know, arguing about it years ago because
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: I was like, people are still enjoying it.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: I do feel like the Simpsons isn't good anymore argument
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: has kind of died now. I feel like the ones
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: that were really, you know, the keyboard warriors, as we
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: like to call them, who would constantly... Any post that
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: we put out that was in relation to modern Simpsons,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: it was just, oh, they should have cancelled this 20
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: years ago. They seem to have just... They've fizzled out.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: They've either given up because... The Simpsons just won't die.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Or they'll just realize, what's the point? You know, like, yeah,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: people enjoy it. Let them enjoy it.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Who cares? God, relax. There's other things in life.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: The Simpsons has kind of had a resurgence in like
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: the last couple of years, I find.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: For two main reasons, in my opinion. A, I think
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: it's just genuinely actually just gotten better.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: I think since Matt's taken over full time and I
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: think they've got a new fresh batch of writers in
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: with some new perspectives. But I think just having it
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: on Disney Plus and Our generation. How old are you?
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: You'd be, what, late 30s?
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: No. Thank you for saying that, though. I just turned 47. Okay.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Well, we're similar-ish in age, right? Yeah. Same generation. Yeah,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: it is. We're now showing our kids The Simpsons as
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: a result. And because we're going on Disney +, and
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: it's so easily accessible now, just go, hey, Disney +,
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: put it on. Our kids are now watching, which means
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: more people are now enjoying it. There's now two generations
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: who are really, we loved the show as a kid.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Our parents, I wouldn't say our parents really, it wasn't
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: really their show, it was our show, but now we've
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: passed the show on to our kids. But also, I
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: just feel like Disney's finally realized, because 20th Century Fox
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: really dropped the ball in this regard. I feel like
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Disney's gone, you know what? The Simpsons is a product
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: that you can really merchandise. And for like, it felt
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: like the longest time, there wasn't any good Simpsons merch yet. Now,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: everywhere you look, there's just Simpsons merch.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And like the deepest references and like so many,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: so many different things you can get now. I feel
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: like people are like, we should make this, we should
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: make this.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Okay you know let's just make it so yeah so
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: you'll get somebody like uh yeah i think they just
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: they just know the market's there and the more heat
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: cut you get i think the more people will just
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: buy the stuff so.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: I've got you i've got you here today though we're
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: going to run through you're going to run through your
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: top five treehouse of forest segments i'm going to run
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: through my top five but The reason I thought it'd
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: be something fun to do, A, it's Halloween time.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: But B, obviously, are you going to be doing a
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: costume contest for the upcoming trivia, October 26th?
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Yes. And it's harder. Talk about niche costumes. It's harder
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: and harder for people to do them every year because...
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, we've been posting them every day on the
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: WooHoo Trivia Shy Instagram. There are just so many different
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: references and different niche, very specific jokes that people have
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: done that it's so hard for people to come up
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: with new ones that haven't already been done. I mean,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: it's that George Harrison meme, right? It's been done. It's like, oh, God.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: I think the best ones have been– one that I
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: just posted was Diablo Canyon 1 and Diablo Canyon 2.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: The two lights, yes. That is as niche as it gets,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: The very clever part of that was that they actually
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: had one lit light bulb on.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: And the other one was not lit. And then their
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: shirt said Diablo Academy 1, the other one Diablo Academy 2.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, that's a pretty niche thing. So now
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: it's like.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Bart on the road, right?
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's Bart on the road.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Homer's bored at work and Lisa's not there.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. And that one, people are like, oh my God,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: it's so.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: I personally love the purple monkey dishwasher.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Yes. Well, that's clever too because it's like something you've
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: never seen, but you get exactly what he's doing. You
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: know exactly what that is, even though you've never even
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: seen what a purple monkey dishwasher looks like.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: I love that joke so much that when I was,
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: you know, back in the MSN, MySpace days, my email
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: was purplemonkeydishwasher at homeout.com.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Perfect. Yeah, that's exactly right. And so I think that
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: those ones score... big points when you take people by
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: surprise by that. Obviously, if you're really crafty, there's one
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: that somebody dressed up as disgruntled goats and the costume
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: quality was like theme park quality costume it's like it's
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: something that like this guy knew what he was doing
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: and the fact that it looked so good it looked
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: like something you'd probably see at an Itchy and Scratchy
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Land you know because it's so well done and he
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: did another one another year who ended up winning too
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: because it He just ended up, you know, he knew
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: how to make a costume. And so I think after
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: the second time we won and he's like, okay, I'm
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: done making costumes. Sorry. I won't, I won't, I won't
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: steal these things because he knew.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: People stop coming. We give up.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: This guy is so impressionable. He knows what he's doing.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: We had someone in Australia, in Adelaide. She had a
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: 40th birthday recently. I was in March. It was Simpsons
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: themed and we posted, she sent us photos to share
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: and we sent photos of them. But, a couple rocked
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: up as the itchy and scratchy robots and man, they
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: looked unbelievable. And like just she, this woman, she turned
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: her entire house into Springfield basically and had all the
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: various foods and, It's like my dream to have a
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Simpsons theme party. I'd love to do that.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. And to invite people who would get
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: all the references too.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: We had those once in a while. Back in the
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: peak point in the mid-2010s when we did Simpsons Trivia
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: in Chicago, we had box socials once in a while. Yeah,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: I did see those.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: They were good.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the people who... Also, you know, they went to
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: trivia and then they would box socials were meant to
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: be like, oh, there's no trivia. We're just going to
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: sit and talk and get to know each other. So
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: that was fun. We did that, I don't know, two
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: or three times. But yeah, that's the same kind of thing, right?
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Where it's like, oh, let's get to know each other
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: in a situation where we're not just angry at each
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: other for... getting a right question or a wrong question
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: or very competitive or anything.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Have you ever gotten a question wrong yourself that you've
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: asked and gone, oh, wait a minute, the answer I've
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: given out is actually wrong?
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Yes. Oh, man. I wish I could think of one
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: off the top of my head, but man. It's bad
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: news when you get it wrong, especially if the answer
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: that I had was like, it's usually something that's very
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: close to the correct answer. And people will not only
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: be angry at the fact that I had the wrong answer,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: but they will be angry that they got, you know,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: they were marked wrong. And then I'm like, do you
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: realize I have... Right now at my arsenal, I have
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: like 3,000 questions, right? And they're already... It's 50 questions.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: It's like from easy to hard. And even in the
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: first round, the questions are like already... You already know
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: it's going to be incredibly difficult. But yeah, it's definitely
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: not been fun when I have the answer wrong. Because...
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: now it's at the point though it's like oh it's
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: just interesting because people would really like 10 years the
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: fact that i've been doing this for 14 years which
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: is as long as i've been doing it it's been
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: similar to where i think simpsons fandom is where it
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: was like there were people who are very serious about
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: it the first few years at simpsons trivia and now
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: they're like hey, that's the wrong answer or whatever. I'll
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: be like, I'm so sorry. And they're like, oh, Simpsons
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: reference or whatever. Ha, ha, ha. We all laugh about it.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: And it's like, you know, it's all lighthearted.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: It's my first day.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's my first day and people will laugh and,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: you know, yeah, people don't take it as seriously as much.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: So it's good.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: I remember we were putting together, this would be a
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: guy on a Seinfeld fan page. We had like a
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: Worlds are Colliding Seinfeld Simpsons Trivia Night. We were putting
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: it together.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: I remember we were setting it up and running through
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: the questions. And one of the questions that he'd written
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: for The Simpsons was, what's the name of the play
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: that Troy McClure stars in? And he just had Planet
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: of the Apes. Oh, yeah. I said, people aren't going
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: to be happy with this. It stopped the Planet of
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: the Apes. I want to get off. And he was like, no,
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: it's people. He goes, people will know what I mean.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Planet of the Apes is fine. I'm like, I don't
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: think they will. And he was like, whatever. And I
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: was like, I'm telling you. I'm telling you.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: It's true. And I try to cover my ass knowing
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: I've had experience with that. I try to cover my
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: ass when I ask the question because I'm like, now,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: in that case, I would be like, what's the name
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: of the play that Troy McClure was in? And I'll
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: be like, Keeping in mind that it is a parody
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: of something. The name of the play is not the parody.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: The name of the play is something specific. You have
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: to be a specific.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: I need that answer.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And some people will be like, oh man, what
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: is it? So.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: We went to a Simpsons trivia night about, I don't know,
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: six months ago now. And it was so obvious that
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: the venue had just AI'd Simpsons questions, like in chat GPT.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: And like the host, the host asked the question, it
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: was like, what is the name of Bart's pet rat?
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, what the fuck? Pet rat? I looked
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: at Nicola and Nicola's like, I don't watch The Simpsons.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: Or my wife doesn't really watch The Simpsons. I looked
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: at my mates who were there and they're like, pet rat?
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: And it was like, it came back as some random,
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: it was like, rat boy. And I was like, hang
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: on a minute. AI, you've completely messed this up. And
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: then the host is like, hey, I didn't write the questions.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: I'm just asking them. I'm like, you've charged me entry
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: for this though, sir.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a different thing. If you've charged for entry,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: that's a big, you know, people are going to expect height,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: But just the, what is the name of Bart's pet rat?
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: And everyone is in a round, you hear everyone in
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: the room just go.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Pet rat? Oh, my God. That's terrible.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway. But you won't be doing that. That's a course. So, yeah,
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: October 26th. Where can we get tickets for your trivia night?
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: So, you'll just get them. It's right at the door.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: And people will be turned away if you don't get
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: there early enough. So, doors will open at 6. The
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: trivia starts at 7. And get there early. Venue? It's
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: at Pizzeria Cereo, which is at Belmont. I'll just say
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Belmont and Polina. 1708 West Belmont in Chicago. And yeah,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: it's get there early because I think last year we
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: did end up turning people away and they were dressed
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: in costume.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: So you can't pre-book tickets?
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: No. You can't pre-book tickets because it's a restaurant. Yeah,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: it's two floors. It's a big venue, and it's two floors,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: but it's all just seating at a table.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: How do you tell people who are dressed up in costumes, sorry.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Well, thank God I didn't have to be the person
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: to tell them. It was the host that told them
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: because I went downstairs and they're like, you're just changing
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: people away. And I was like, really? There's no spaces? Like,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: fire code? It's like one of those things that's like,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: we can't let any more people in. I looked out
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: the window or out the door and sure enough, people
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: in costume were like.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Maybe you need a doubleheader. Maybe you need two nights.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe we need two nights on a Halloween night, man.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Is it only the Halloween nights that you do the
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: costume contest?
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: So there's only two nights that are like special, although
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: I may start doing Simpsons karaoke. But that's a whole
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: other thing.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: We had a guy at our trivia nights we used
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: to do several years ago. We used to have a guy.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: His name was Bodes and he used to play Simpsons
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: songs live on the acoustic guitar. And man, the sing-along,
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: he played in between rounds and the sing-alongs were so
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: much fun.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: So much. People love sing-along too. It's like, I tested
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: it out. I was like, I'm thinking of, I did
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: like one video. Cause I, you know, I made my
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: own like karaoke video. Cause it's really, there's like no
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Simpsons karaoke videos out there. Right. So you have to
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: like take clips from the episode and like put lyrics
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: over them. I was like, this is what I'm thinking
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: of doing guys. What do you think? And I, I
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: pressed play and I think it was, um, I think
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: it was Stop Playing the Age I Want to Get Off.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: I think I played a clip from that. And people
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: just started singing along right away. And it was like, see,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: this is like people, people will just love, people just love,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: you know, and it's not, it wouldn't even be just that.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: It would be scenes. They do that in South America, actually.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: There's a company that goes like, around like i think
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: columbia that just goes bar to bar and does the
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: simpson scenes where you can do karaoke with them it's
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: crazy that's where i got the idea from was um
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: i saw it on instagram yeah but they're uh in
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: may we do diorama rama and then in october we'll
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: do the costume content so.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: Okay perfect yeah because bones he used to play the
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: monorail song and he played the role of Lyle Landley
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: and the crowd would be the crowd, you know? Yeah, yeah.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: So good.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: It's perfect, yeah, exactly.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: And there's always one person who would be like, mano, do,
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: at the end, you're like, yes!
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: It's something where everybody's like, yeah!
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: Yes, all right. But let's get into our top five
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: Treehouse of Horror segments. What does Treehouse of Horror mean
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: to you when you think of Treehouse of Horror?
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's funny because I think it's awesome because
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: it's their excuse to like just go anywhere they want to.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: You know, even like the early ones were just horror.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: But I mean, when they started in science fiction, they
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: realized they could do pop culture references that aren't necessarily
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: even horror related. They can just put them in that
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: kind of. segment like where it was like one of
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: my top fives is actually uh citizen kang which is
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: more a reference to uh the 1996 presidential presidential election
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: than anything it was just like an alien story they
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: put in that but that was political humor in the
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: guise of like this big alien story um but yeah
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: i think it's it's awesome that they um it's they
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: were always just so fun because you never knew what
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: you're going to get every year right it was going
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: to be like it wasn't bound by that reality that
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: they put it in a real life, you know, in Springfield,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: where it's a real place that, you know, it's bound
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: by human rules.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Short stories as well.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Oh, it's so funny because I didn't
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: even think about, I couldn't remember, what's the one that
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: ends with Homer and Mr. Burns?
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's... Trails of Horror 3, 2, that is the
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: third segment. That's the Frankenstein's one.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the Frankenstein one, yes. That one... I remember seeing,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: because it ends with like next week on The Simpsons.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: And it's like, and I remember thinking like, I was
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: a dumb kid. I was like, oh, that's going to
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: be a weird episode next week. Like, I was actually... My.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: Kid's like, I can't find the next one. I was like,
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: there is the next one. But they said it was
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: next week.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: It was going to be next week. I was like,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: they're going to really have... I can remember thinking, like,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: they're going to have Homer and Mr. Burns are going
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: to be a two-headed guy now.
• 21:56

• 22:23
  Speaker 2: it was because I wasn't really allowed to watch horror, obviously,
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: as a kid. Yeah. But The Simpsons is almost like
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: your doorway into the world of horror.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. Yeah, for sure. Like, you realize, you
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: can see all these things that you didn't necessarily even
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: get the reference to at the time. But then you
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: see the horror movies later, and you're like, oh, my God.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: I didn't do that. I didn't do that.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: Now I watch my kids watching it, and I go, oh,
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: should they be watching this?
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: It's pretty violent. Yeah. I know, because it gets pretty violent, right?
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: They get so violent, and some of them, but kids
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: are resilient. They'll just bounce back.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but what have you got? I've got mine in order,
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: but you can also do yours in any particular order.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: Let's just save your absolute favorite to.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Last, though. Okay, I'll save my absolute favorite to last,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: and we've got to have some crossover, Brendan, I feel.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely, and I actually want to start with a
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: notable mention, because I wanted to include it in my five,
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: but I thought, no, I'll include it as a notable,
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: because for me, The reason I love it so much
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: is because this was the first new episode of The
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Simpsons I was ever allowed to watch. I wasn't allowed
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: to watch The Simpsons until I was six because I've
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: explained this story numerous times on the podcast. I copied
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: Maggie in Bad Dream House, got a knife out of
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: the kitchen drawer. Mom said, that's it. You're not watching
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: any more Simpsons. I had to wait until I was six.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: And it was Treehouse of Horror 6 and it was
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: Homer 3D. Now, I remember without promoting it as The
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: Simpsons is 3D this week. And I remember for the
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: first two thirds of the story, I'm like, This is 3D.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: I made a mistake. I must have got the wrong.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh, no, I missed it. It was
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: meant to be on 3D. I missed the 3D. Because
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: back then, if you missed something when it was first on,
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: you might never have seen it again. I was trying
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: to tape and everything. But I just had this nostalgia
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: for this being not only the first New Simpsons I
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: was allowed to watch, the Homer in the 3D, so
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Homer 3. It was the first one I ever recorded
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: off TV as well. So I've just got that nostalgia everywhere.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: I've got that nostalgic connection for it. So I thought,
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: I won't include it in my top five, but I
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: do have a strong connection to it. So Homer Cubed,
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: what would you call it? Homer 3?
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: Homer Cubed, yeah. I think it's Homer Cubed.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: Homer 3D.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: And that one is in my top five. Okay, yeah.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: And actually might be my favorite one. Really? And the
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: only reason I say that is because I kept thinking about,
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's from Treehouse Horror 5, right? 6. 6, 6. Well,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: 5 and 6, both of them, I feel like that's
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: like golden era.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: They're the two best.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Because the timing and the quickness of all the jokes
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: are so– it's unbelievable. But I'll get to that. I'll
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: save my reasons for the end of it. But I
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: was going to start with– it's funny that you mentioned
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Bad Dreamhouse. That's actually one of my top five because... Wow.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: I know. It's in the first... It's in the very
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: first Treehouse.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: 4, right? It's the very first segment, I think. Yeah.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: It's the very first segment ever. Yeah.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: And.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: But, you know, there are so many jokes in that
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: that are absolutely hilarious. And especially... considering this was the
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: first Treehouse of Horror and they had a lot to
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: still develop and come up with. The jokes in that are,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: I love the fact, one of my favorite moments in
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: that episode or that segment is Homer on the phone.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: I was going to say, he told me five or
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: six times.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: Like he's like, you, like the whole thing is so overdramatic.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Like Mr. Plute, like the name Mr. Plute is funny.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: And Homer Simpson here. You didn't tell me that this
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: house was built on a bare ground.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: No, you didn't.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: Not well done. That's not the way I remember it.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: And then he hangs up. He said I mentioned it
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: five or six times. That's hilarious. Like, that is one
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: of my most favorite moments of any Treehouse War. And
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: it's so– nobody really mentions it that much, but it
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: just kills me how funny that is.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Actually, I think it might be one of those
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: ones you appreciate– As you're older?
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: Like the Raven. I had no time for the Raven
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: as a kid. I was like, what is this? What
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: is going on?
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, very, very true adaptation of The Raven. And yeah,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: did not, didn't appreciate it, but they executed it very,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: very well.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: And Hungry or the Damned is a good story as well.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a good one too. But yeah, I feel like, yeah,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Bad Dreamhouse is like the least of my top five,
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: but I would put that in my top five actually.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: I've got Terror at five and a half feet for
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: the bottom of my top five.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: I just think this was the first time I remember
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: being actually scared by The Simpsons because I would have
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: been about five or I would have been six when
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: I first watched this but I was scared and I
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: think because it's got the element of he's on a
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: school bus it's like it's a situation I've been in
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: as well and I'm like shit what does a girl
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: on a school bus when I get on the school
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: bus next time you know and it just And at
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: the end, he's holding Flanders' head and I was just like,
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: I just remember being actually, it felt like I was
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: watching horror, you know?
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: The animation in that is very, there are very scary
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: moments in that where, you know, that Gremlin is very creepy.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: The score is great as well. Yeah.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Score is great yeah that's another thing with uh five
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: and six is like i feel like it was the
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: the yeah animation is top tier alf clausen was in
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: the element uh for parody and as well as you
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: know just hitting hitting the nail on the head when
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: it comes to the music views and the direction and
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: the writing obviously so um but yeah terror five and
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: a half feet good great choice great choice I'll just
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: mention the shinning. Yeah.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: I let the shinning out by default because I feel
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: like that's everyone's sort of go-to, you know, but it's
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: definitely worth discussing the shinning.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah. The shinning is, I feel like, again, jokes at...
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: every 10 or 15 seconds. Like, I feel like they
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: knew exactly what they wanted to do. And, you know,
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: there are some episodes where you're like, oh, they reanimated that.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Or you could tell they threw in a joke in
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: the last minute and they tried to fix the mouth movements.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: And those are the weaknesses. Like, Cape Fear was an episode, actually,
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: that just had its anniversary at the day we're recording this.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: That was a season four episode carried over to season five,
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: wasn't it?
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it was. And that one is a classic.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: It's one of the top episodes ever. But it suffers
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: from having those last minute jokes in there that are
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: weirdly timed.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: Which ones were they?
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: One of them was when they're at the dinner table
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: and Grandpa says, I say we call Metlock. He'll find
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: the culprit. Uh, and he does that whole speech and
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: you could, their mouth moments are just like oddly paced.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: And you'll like, I just posted a clip where they
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: had a whole other segment completely animated. They had, where
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: Grandpa's teeth get stolen. And there's a whole other segment
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: that they animated and they decided to cut.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: Oh, that deleted scene on the DVDs, was it?
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, exactly.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: And... Yeah, there's a lot of replaced or deleted scenes
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: and they came up short in that episode. So they
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: were adding gags and stretching out gags and they worked. But,
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: you know, there are some of them are weird moments.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: And I feel like going back to the shinning. Bam, bam.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: They knew exactly what they wanted. They had to, you know,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: they talk about in some episodes when they're so good
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: and there's so many jokes packed in, they 10% it,
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: I think as they call it, where they have to
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: speed up the dialogue because there's so many things. I
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: think that was probably one of them because there's so
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: many jokes in that, that it's just very fast paced.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: And yeah, Shinning, I think that's what makes it such
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: a great episode or a great segment is because it's
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: just breakneck speed and all the jokes are pretty, pretty
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: well so it's.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: Really good too because you can enjoy it without even
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: knowing anything about the shining yes it just works on
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: its own.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: It works on its own exactly yeah you don't need
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: to know the references and if you do know the
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: references um that's just another special reward.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah that's one of the things about classic simpsons is
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: when we were kids watching it it's like you're watching
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: all these bits and you're like i don't know what
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: they're talking about but i know it must be something
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: And then the older you get, you learn the references.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: You're like, oh, that's what that was. Oh, that's what
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: that was. Honestly, I'm going to put it out there.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: I've still never seen The Shining because I feel like
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: I've seen The Shining. I know what happens.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's funny too because the local movie house here
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: in Chicago at the Music Box Theater, they were showing
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: The Shining in 70 millimeter. Wow. And they showed The Shining.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: before the movie and i was like this is amazing.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: So many people so many people still refer to the
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: shining as the shinning it's just it's second nature to us.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: Now yeah it's so good it's so good but yeah
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: that's exactly you don't need to know and cape fear
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: is the same way it's not a it's not a
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: halloween episode but again you don't need to i still
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: haven't seen the movie cape fear.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: I only watched it for the first time about a
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: month ago. Now I'm watching it and I'm like, oh,
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: that's what they were doing. Oh, that's what they were referencing. Oh,
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: that's it. I still prefer Cape Fear, the Simpsons version,
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: but anyway. Yeah, exactly. Cape Fear is a weird movie, man.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: It's a weird movie.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: Oh, Scorsese directed it. Oh, did Scorsese direct it?
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: And De Niro's in it, yeah.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: And De Niro's in it, yeah. And that was even
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: a remake, right? That was from the 60s.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. Yeah. My next one is not, I
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: feel like it's gotten more attention in recent years, but
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: for the longest time, it felt like no one really
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: acknowledged it. It was The Thing and I. I've always
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: loved the element of Bart being the evil stepbrother. I
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: like a good twist. I remember as a kid, I
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: just thought that was just the coolest twist, but also
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: another episode that actually scared me. And I remember it
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: was the scene... For some reason, it worked out this
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: way when I was watching it on TV. I'll never
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: forget it. And when Bart's in bed and he hears
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: Hugo in the vents or whatever, and he sort of
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: seems through the vent. And at that moment... when I
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: recorded off TV, we used to watch it on a
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: TV session called Channel 10 here in Australia. They had
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: The Simpsons.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: And the little, we call it M. I don't know,
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: what do you guys, TV 14, is that what you
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: call it? It's our version. We call it M for
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: mature audiences.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: M popped up just at that moment. So, for my entire, like,
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: you know, for like 10 years, I just thought in
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: that moment there was a joke that they're like, this
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: bit's for mature audiences. It's scary. And then I go
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: up the DVD set and I'm like, where's the fucking M? Like,
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: That is so funny.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: Whenever I watch an episode, I'm visualizing the M in
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: the corner. It was just, it just, it was perfect timing. Yeah.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: I've just, I just love the idea of Bart being
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: the evil twin. Cause it makes sense, you know, but
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: my kids though are still baffled. They watch over and
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: over again. They just keep going, wait, so is he
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: Hugo or Bart? And I'm like, no, that was just
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: for that episode. They're like, but, but Bart wasn't yet.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, but it was just a triage of horror.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: They're like, I hear you. But still, is that Hugo
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: or Bart? I'm like, you don't hear me.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: It's just pretend. It's not real.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: It's just for that one. They're like, ah, okay. So
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: he's not Hugo. I'm like, no, he's not Hugo.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: He's like, this is all you, yeah. It's pretend, catch.
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: But it's just, it's scary, but it's just really funny
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: as well. It is. But, but, being the one who's
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: scared of being, you know, attacked by his brother. So
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: they go looking for Hugo, but you stay home and
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: take the hockey game.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I feel like the twist at the end of it, right,
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: where it's like, oh, it's Hugo was the.
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: Scars on the wrong side.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Like, I felt like I could remember
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: seeing that coming and the fact that they knew, I
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: feel like they were like, is anyone really surprised by this? Like,
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: they weren't saying that.
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: I've also always gone with the theory, not the theory,
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: but wondered, Are we supposed to think that Bart knew
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: he was the evil twin?
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: Or was it just that he's just, like you said,
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: that no one should be surprised because he is evil. Like,
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: did Bart know? I guess Bart didn't even know he
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: had a twin brother though, did he?
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. Yeah. If I had a twin brother though.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: That's what he was thinking.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: What's your next one?
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: Mine is Time and Punishment.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. Treehouse of Horror 5.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It's like, again, break that speed of like a toaster. Like,
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: it's so quick. They're like, I don't know. They took
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: every opportunity in that where it was just like every
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: new universe that he went to. I mean, it's relevant now, right?
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: With the multiverse. Yeah. And every story that's out there
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: for every science fiction thing. But yeah. I feel like
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: when he finally gets upset and finally gets so angry
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: that he's like, don't touch anything. Don't touch anything. I
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: feel like.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: He smooshes a little dinosaur.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: He smooshes the little bug or dinosaur or whatever. Smashing things.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: And then the twist of like, he finally found the
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: perfect universe and donut. What's a donut?
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: That's a moment for me. for my childhood that I
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: have a vivid memory of my parents laughing at. And
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: just for the first time, I was like, See, mom,
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: you didn't let me watch The Simpsons, but this shit's funny.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: I was like, it's the first time I've seen my
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: mom in particular laugh at a Simpsons joke. I was like,
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: they've won her over.
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: Isn't it great that you have those moments in your brain?
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: Like I can remember the very same things like watching
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: TV with my parents and I can remember certain moments
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: of episodes because my parents wouldn't watch The Simpsons the
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: same as yours. It's every once in a while. Like
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: I'd have it on... they'd be like, okay, we'll watch it. Oh,
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: they ended up watching it because my uncle was living
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: with us for a while and he wanted to watch it.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: And so my parents were like, yeah, the cool uncle.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: And so we're like, okay, we'll watch it since, oh, sorry.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: We'll watch it since, um, since, uh, you know, uncle,
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: uncle Jim will watch it. And so, uh, I can
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: remember watching Bart's dog, uh, gets an out. I think
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: it was, or, uh, at the end of the act
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: break is, uh, Homer goes, uh, And the dog goes, oh. Yeah.
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: That's when he chews up the assassins.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. Yeah. He chews up the assassins. And I
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: can remember my parents laughing out loud at that. And
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: everybody laughing was like, this is cool. You know, watching,
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: you know, it's a real family moment. Yeah. Yeah. It's
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: nice that you, you know, you have those memories and
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: that you have that one tied to that specific segment too.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: It's awesome.
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: Well, that's why you mentioned, I'm not sure we discussed
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: it on air. It might've been off air how I've
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: been doing, I did a, reaction video of my kids
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: of who shot mr burns because yeah i said you
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: guys can watch any simpsons episode but you just can't
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: watch those ones because i wanted to experience them experiencing
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: that moment for the first time yeah and um oh
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: it kind of got spoiled for them kind of but
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: they they heard it but they didn't pay attention it
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: was the they watched cartridge family.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: And oh yeah i thought maggie bigger i.
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: Thought maggie show now that would have made more sense
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: and i heard that i mean i'm in the kitchen
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: chopping dinner i was like and they didn't say anything
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: i was like I was like, whatever. So I waited
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: a good like two months just to make sure they
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: forgot they heard anything about that. And then, yeah, so
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: we watched it. It's available on YouTube. My kids are
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: watching and they got the little notepads out and they're
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: writing down the clues. Oh, he's angry. I better write
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: his name down. And then in part two, they're crossing
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: that name off and they're crossing that name off. And
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: it was just so cool as a dad. it's experiencing
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: what i went through as a kid yeah i know
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: it sounds silly i guess but yeah.
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: No it's not it's great i mean that's what we
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: do right we there's a there's a meme i saw
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: that um it's like you raise your kids to watch
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: everything that you enjoyed and that scene from total recall
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: where arnold says you are not you you are me
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: yeah it's like yeah because that's That's what I'm doing.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: I'm just going to have him watch Back to the Future,
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: even though he's probably still too young to watch that.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: Doc gets shot by terrorists in it, but, you know.
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: There was some parody site that put a headline out once.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: It was like, child destined to be uncool due to
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: parents only letting them watch shows from their own childhood
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: or something like that.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. Yeah, but I don't care. You know, he
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: enjoys that. And, you know, right now his favorite movie is, well,
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's Back to the Future anymore. But
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: for a while there, it was like, Back to the
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: Future is my favorite movie. I was like, thanks.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I'm like at the moment. We go
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: home from school and the kids are like, can we
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: put Simpsons on? I'm like, yes.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: Yes, exactly. And it's the same way with Looney Tunes
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: right now. I love Looney Tunes. Whenever I want to
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: watch Looney Tunes.
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: I feel like my love of Looney Tunes came from
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: my love of Space Jam. Because throughout the 90s, the
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: Looney Tunes had a resurgence because they had the clothing line.
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: Was it 90s?
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: 90s?
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And then they did Space Jam. And it's just
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: like Space Jam is just one of my old timers.
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: You know, you just have those movies from your childhood
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: that you just love. And Space Jam is one of
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: those for me. And they just, because it's the 30th anniversary,
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: had it on at the movies here. Every Tuesday and
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: Friday in Geelong, where I live, they screen a classic movie.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, on the Tuesday, it was something about Mary
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: celebrating her 30th anniversary or whatever. And then they had
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: Space Jam. My son's like, can we see Space Jam?
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: I'm like, can we see fucking Space Jam? We are
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: going to see Space Jam. So I took my wife
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: and my daughter, and we all went and saw Space Jam.
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: And I'm sitting there with my Space Jam popcorn bucket
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: and the things playing. And I'm sitting there with a
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: big grin. And my son's sitting there with a big grin.
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: My wife's sitting there half asleep. My daughter's already asleep.
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: But I didn't care. I'm like, I'm watching Space Jam
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: at the movies with the kids. This is great.
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it's awesome. Oh, yeah. I mean, that's what
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: life is, man. Do whatever the hell you want. You're
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: going to have those special moments with your kids. Just
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: do whatever you do to make those.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: My next one, by the way, is Clown Without Pity.
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: I've always really enjoyed this one. I think it's the
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: earliest one that I've got on my list. But I
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: don't think I really appreciated this one as much when
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: I was a kid. But as I got older, and
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: I've seen the one, this is a parody from a
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: trilogy of terror. And it's the final scene from a
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: trilogy of terror where this doll comes to life. And
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: it's just constantly trying to kill this woman. And then
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: I watched, I think I appreciate this one a lot
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: more now because I can see how much of a
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: parody that is. But this one, I wouldn't call it
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: overly gruesome, but it's just scary in a sense. Again,
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: as a kid, you're related, but you're like, what if
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: that doll just came to life and wanted to kill me? Yeah.
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: What would I do? You know? And it's just, it's just,
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: it's such a simple concept. And I just really like,
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: I think it's really funny. I always loved Homer. The
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: visual of Homer running out of the bath slayed me
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: when I was a kid. I thought it was the
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: funniest thing I've ever seen. But, um, There's a bit
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: in it that I never appreciated until I was older.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: It's when Krusty is choking Homer and he's got him...
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: I think he's drowning him and he's like, the clown's
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: trying to kill me and the toaster's been laughing at me.
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: Right, yeah. That's hilarious. I thought you were going to
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: mention that. Ooh, dog water. Yes. That is hilarious. And
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: then Homer, the dog goes after him and He's like,
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: the doll's trying to kill me. And Bart says, I'd
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: say the pressure's gotten to Dan, but what pressure? There's
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: not many good jokes. That one's good. And the fact that, oh,
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: isn't it always a pleasure when you realize that something,
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, we kind of touched on this earlier, that
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: something was a reference to a story that's already been
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: done and you didn't even know it existed. I feel
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: like I know Cape Fear exists. I keep using that.
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: But Bad Dream House was.
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: A medieval horror.
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah. abbyville horror and and poltergeist and all those uh
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: house related horrors and those are clearly like uh um
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: parodies of that but it's like i didn't know that
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: there was a trilogy of terror episode where about a
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: doll that comes to life until like years later like
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: i was it was Halloween time and it was on TV.
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: I was like, what is this? Like this is a
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: doll that's coming to life. And it, but it, you
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: didn't need to know that for this, this, uh, segment
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: to be, to work and it'd be so funny.
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: Same with terror at five and a half feet. It's
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: the twilight zone with John Lithgow. I think Shatner, Shatner's
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: in the first one, I think.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: Shatner's in the first one. Yeah. And then, um, Lithgow's
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: in the, in the movie version and both of those
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: are terrifying actually. Yeah. Um, on their own but um.
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: We're talking about merch earlier as well and now you
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: can actually get the Krusty doll a legitimate Krusty doll
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: in the box and everything.
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah exactly and you pull the string.
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: Where were these things in the 90s man I know.
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: I know I actually gave that away as a prize
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: a couple years ago when I first came out I
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: was like oh yeah people.
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: Want yeah 100% yeah what kind of prizes do you
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: give out at the trivia nights.
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: You know, sometimes I reach out to second best pet
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: shop people online that do their own stuff. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: He's changed his name a few times now to avoid
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: the Disney.
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Exactly.
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: I think that Simpsons Man does original ones too.
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: I think he makes some stuff, right?
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he makes the original merchandise. And it's usually stuff
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: that you can't find elsewhere. Like, I think it is
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: Second Best Pet Shop that does like bumper stickers. It says,
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: you know, follow me to the Springfield Aquarium. Like little
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: niche stuff that's like... stickers and things like that that
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: were stickers in the show that people would just like
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: them because they want these to be a real thing.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: But yeah, it's usually prizes like that or there's a
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: local place here in Chicago that's called Hairbrained that they
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: don't they never sell their Simpson stuff because again, like
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: intellectual property, they're worried about being sued, but they'll, they'll
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: give them like they created them. And they'll, if you
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: asked about them, they'll, they'll sell them, but they won't like, if.
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: You want to give them money, they'll accept it.
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. But they have, um, like there's a poster
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: of stop the plant, plant of youths. I want to
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: get off that. They created it. And that I gave
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: away as a prize. And so it's, I choose to
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: try to make prizes that are pretty unique and, Stuff
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: that 30, 40-year-olds are going to want and not be
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: too embarrassed by owning.
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: When we used to do ours like six, seven years ago,
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: we just gave money away. Everyone likes money.
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. Just go buy yourself something nice, some
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: Simpsons joke or whatever you want.
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: Go do the shopping for a week. This show is

• 45:37
  Speaker 1: Citizen Kane. So yeah, yep. That one was, I think
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: I just appreciate because, again, it was one that was
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: like more of a parody of like, just elections at
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: the time, but it was still under the guise of
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: a young thing. And, and that it's referenced so often now,
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: in elections in general, because it's relevant, like, and the
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: joke of abortions for some a miniature american flags brothers
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: yay and you know but but it was like abortions
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: for all boo abortions for no one.
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: Boo twirling towards freedom.
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah exactly like that uh great parody of like
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: just that's just how stupid elections can be.
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: Um don't blame me i voted for kodos as.
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: Always yes yeah don't blame me for i voted for
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: photos and that's one that like It's not scary. I
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: don't think the episode's scary at all. It's just a
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: great political commentator.
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: The only reason I didn't include it in my list,
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: because I kind of thought, if you didn't live through
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: that time, does the parody of the 96th election kind
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: of stand up now? And I don't think it quite does.
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: I know it's a parody of just politics in general,
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: but I feel like the direct reference of it being
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: so specific to that election kind of dates that one now.
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: It kind of does, yeah. There are definitely things in it,
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: like people are like, You know, Bob Dole.
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: Who's Bob Dole?
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, who's Bob Dole?
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: Usually, Simpsons would do parodies of things or reference things
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: that were essentially timeless.
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: And that one there, I just kind of feel like
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: no one's talking about Bob Dole in 2026. You know
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: what I mean?
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true.
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: My next one is Nightmare on Evergreen Terrace. I think
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: this is my first introduction to a genuine horror villain
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: in Freddy Krueger.
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: Yes. And.
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: It's gruesome, but it's not overly gory. There are some
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: scary bits for kids. I guess you could say Martin,
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: see Martin dead and Freddie on fire and things like that.
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: We've got Do Not Touch Willie, which I think was hilarious.
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: But I just think it's a great showcase for Dan
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: as Willie. And I think Willie really had many showcase
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: moments before this. And I feel like this is where
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: the first time where the writers kind of went, you
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: know what, we can actually do something with this guy.
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: I know he had sort of that recurring story in
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: Treehouse of Horror 5 where he kept getting killed in
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: each segment.
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: But this was his first real proper like standout moment,
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: I thought, and Willie became more of a prominent character
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: as a result, I think.
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: And they have those terrible jokes that Freddy Krueger would
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: make that are always like word puns.
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: Nice to wreck your acquaintance.
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, please to wreck your acquaintance. Like what? You couldn't
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: get more lame than that.
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: But even like the art of, I think it's in
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: particular the opening scene, It looks very much like a
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: dream where it's all sort of blurry in the background
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: and just the characters are standing out and things like that.
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: It felt special. And I just thought it was just
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: a really, really solid parody of the Nightmare on Elm
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: Street series.
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and Alf Clawson, again, like nailed the synthesizer music
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: from the 80s that is in all those movies. Great choice. Yeah,
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: I feel like that one is, I feel like that
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: probably has some of the scariest moments in it. And
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: not only that, but it's Soylent Green, right, is kind
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: of the reference of it too. Not just Nightmare on
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: Elm Street.
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: And your number one was Home of 3D, correct?
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Homer cubed. Yeah, that was one that I felt
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: like was, again, great jokes back to back. I love
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: the fact that Chief Wiggum shoots the dimension.
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: Take that, you lousy dimension.
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: Take that, you lousy dimension. And again, every line from
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: that seems like it's a hilarious joke. Frank is on
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: his top game there. And I haven't seen Back Rooms,
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: but I guess Back.
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: Rooms, it's a movie, right?
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: I remember that when that movie came out, people were like, oh,
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: they already did this on The Simpsons with Homer. Really?
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: I guess, yeah, he went through the wall. Yeah.
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: Because he went through the wall.
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, into another world.
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: They had the box, you know, the door. That's true.
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yep.
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like there's elements of it, I feel like, that
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: people were like, oh, the Simpsons already did this. But
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: the Simpsons were referencing a thing with their suit. What
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: was that? It looks like Little Girl Lost. What's that? Oh,
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: it's a Twilight Zone episode, actually. So, but yeah, that's
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: just different universes. But again, that one ended, I remember
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: thinking that ending where Homer goes into that world First
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: of all, Al Claussen. Again, kudos. Beautiful music at the end.
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: Thinking like, is this how The Simpsons is going to
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: be now?
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: This is. It's now 3D. He's in the real world.
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: Is this it? Is Homer going to be in the
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: real world? What's going to happen?
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: You're like my kids. Where's Hugo?
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, where's Hugo? Where's Hugo?
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: For me, I've always said if I'm going to get
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: a Simpsons tattoo, stay with me. I'll explain why. It's
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: the cube with Homer's head inside. The reason is, I
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: watched this and then we went to school like a
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: couple of weeks later and we're in art class. All right,
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: now we're going to draw 3D objects. Who knows how
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: to draw a cube? And I was like, well, come
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: look at me guys. And I went up there and I,
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: you draw a square. And then if you extend the
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: square and I like copied free and the teacher was like,
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: where'd you learn that? And I'm like, the Simpsons. And
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: she's like, what?
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: It's so funny yeah it's so funny how kids pick
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: up things right where it's like they learn things and
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: you it's totally unintentional right where it's like oh they
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: they managed to learn okay well i could.
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: Genuinely taught me how to draw a cube yeah this
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: is so.
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: Simple yeah here is an ordinary square we'll slow down again.
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: But yeah did you see someone posted a photo we
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: reshared it the other day but um They went to
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: the actual location of when Homer came into the real world.
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: Have you seen that? Yeah.
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I have. Yeah. It's funny that it's, it's an
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: actual place that still looks not that different from.
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: Same dumpster almost.
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: It's just, did it at a place that was like
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: non like it's nondescript right where it's just like oh
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: let's just go back here on this place on you
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: know you know in los angeles at los angeles it's
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: not going to change very much you know.
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: It's a very um interesting story that the front when
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: they're out in front of the store they're doing the
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: erotic case and stuff they have to basically shut the
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: street down have you heard that story no they talk
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: about it in the commentary and you can actually see
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: it the crane they had to basically block a street
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: in LA and they couldn't get like the contract or
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: the permission to do it so they just went and
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: did it so that's why you can see all the
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: traffic building up in the distance because they didn't get
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: a permit they just got a crane and just basically
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: blocked the street trying to go around like what's going
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: on wow actually watching the background you see all the
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: traffic building up trying to work out what the hell's
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: going on I.
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: Have to watch that again I have to watch that
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: again oh my.
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: God watch it with the commentary yeah.
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: I will I will oh that's crazy.
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: My number one, though, is Nightmare Cafeteria. I've always just
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: absolutely loved this. I think, to me, it's the perfect
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: Simpsons Halloween segment because it's incredibly violent, incredibly funny, and
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: it doesn't rely on parody. I think that was the
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: Soylent Green one.
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: That was the Soylent Green one. Yeah, I got mixed
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: up with that Nightmare.
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's a Soylent Green parody, but
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: this sort of stands on its own. It's just, you know,
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: the teachers are eating kids. You can believe this is
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: just a story they've made up themselves.
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: And it's just a spooky story that works for me.
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: And as a kid watching it, I just have fond
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: memories going, wow, what if the teachers just decide to
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: eat us one day? You know what I mean? It
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: better be good. Like I said, it's really violent and
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: it's got the really funny ending at the end with
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: the fog coming in. For me, it just felt like
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: a really... I love a good rug pull ending. We
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: interviewed David Merkin recently. He hasn't come out yet, but
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: he was just talking about how he was a big
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: fan of the endings that just kind of said, fuck
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: you to the audience. And that's kind of a classic
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: example of that. It's just like, yeah, we didn't really
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: have an ending for this. So we just, you know,
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: it was a dream and we're going to pull the
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: rug out. And now they're getting turned inside out by
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: fog because it's the Simpsons and we can do what
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: we want. I'm a big fan of that. And yeah,
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: I just think Nightmare Cafeteria, it's just, it's just a
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: really simple classic horror story that in the Simpsons universe.
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: And I was thinking they did a really funny job
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: of it. Yeah.
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I agree. And that's one, too, that actually
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: has really scary moments because you see these regular characters
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: and they get pretty grotesque, right? Where they're just like,
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: you know, I mean, Skitter, like, I start by eating
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: your shorts and they're all like drooling at the mouth. Yeah.
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: It's scary.
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: It's scary.
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: But that is my number one, Nightmare Cafeteria.
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: Fantastic choice.
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: I don't think we had any crossover.
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: We didn't, which is incredible. There were definitely some that
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: you had that I was like, yeah, I was thinking
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: about that too.
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: It's very rare that we put in the title top
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: 10 of anything and it's actually a top 10 because
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: there's always crossover. I think this is the first time
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: I've never had crossover with anybody. So this is an
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: actual top 10 Treehouse of Horror segments. There we go.
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: We did it.
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: We achieved something. Good team.
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, good team. Good job.
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: But thank you so much for joining me here today.
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: It's been fun to catch up once again. But let's
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: talk about, again, before we go, about your upcoming trivia
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: night slash costume contest, October 26th at the Pizzeria.
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: Is that what you said it was called? Yeah, Pizzeria Serial.
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: And it's 1708 West Belmont in Chicago. Doors open at 6.
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: The trivia starts at 7. Get there early. There will
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: be a line.
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: How early do you think? What's a genuine expectation?
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: People will start lining up, I think, probably at 5.15,
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: 5 or 5.15.
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: Nearly two hours earlier.
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. It's crazy. And then it's like a
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: three-hour trivia. So it's like you just plan your whole
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: night around it. But, you know, it's going to be
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: a good time because you're going to see great– well,
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: I show episodes on the TVs now, and it's usually
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: like recordings from the actual– Oh, wow.
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's cool.
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: You know, time. And so they'll have the commercials in
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: there from the nineties. And so that's fun to watch.
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: I know you told me you got those, like the
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: ads and stuff, promos off YouTube, but have you gotten
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: the episodes and then put the promos in between the
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: ad breaks yourself? How have you got actual genuine recordings
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: from that? Is it just ones that you recorded?
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: So there are some, there are a few on the
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: Internet Archive, but most of them have come from people
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: who have reached out to me.
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: Or I found them on.
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: The dark web.
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the dark web. But I feel like, why can't
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: I think of like... Alt.Simpsons. Yeah, you know, people download...
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: You mean like torrents? Torrents, yeah.
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Can you torrent official, not official, but original recordings
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: of things?
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: I think people have the original recordings on torrents, but
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: there is somebody that follows me on Daily Simpsons on Twitter.
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: And they're like, I think when I started showing the
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: few that I had on Twitch years ago, he reached
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: out to me and was like, I have my own recordings.
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: And I started converting them. Will you show my recordings?
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: And so he sent me all of his files too.
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: And so I had tons of these files, man. Like
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: I actually have like 60 or 70 of them, I
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: feel like.
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: It's such a nostalgia trip, isn't it?
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: It is.
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: When you see the trailers or the ads in between, yeah.
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: And you realize there's things you've forgotten about. There was
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: this one movie that came up when we were watching episodes,
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: and it was about a dog. There was a scene
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: in court where the dog was testifying. But it was
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: actually just a normal dog, but it was barking. But
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: he was a witness in a trial.
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: Like a straight-to-TV movie?
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: No, it was in theaters, man. It made into theaters.
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: Dog in Court?
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: I got to look it up real quick. Dog movie, 1991.
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: Let's see who can.
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: Do it first.
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: Bingo.
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, Bingo. I loved Bingo, the movie when I was
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: a kid.
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: But there's a dog that they have a court. I
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: think there's a scene in court where there's like, so, Bingo,
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: tell me about like.
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: If you watch the trailer online, they're like... I was like...
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: what was this movie? I've never heard of bingo.
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: I see bingo is one of those movies that I
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: think my, you know, your family just fucking own some
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: random like home videos and bingo was like one of them.
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: And like, you just, because we didn't have the beauty
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: of internet, you just had to watch what your family had.
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: So we just, We just watched Bingo. Bingo, Milo and Otis,
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: which is full of animal cruelty.
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: Yes. Yes. This movie did not make its money back.
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: No, it did not. I'm just looking at it now.
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: It had a budget of $ 10 million. It made $ 8. 6
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: million in 1991. That's... That's rough.
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: Let's read the Google synopsis. Bingo.
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: For fun. Yes, let's do it.
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: Bingo, a runaway circus dog saves the life of Chucky,
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: a young boy. The two become best buddies who play
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: and do homework together. Bingo faces hurdles to be with
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: Chucky on his tour.
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, yeah, I'm sold.
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: My kids will be like, another triumph.
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, another triumph. Yeah, that commercial came up during the.
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: Wow, that's cool.
• 58:41
  Speaker 3: And I was like, guys, what is this movie? And
• 58:44
  Speaker 3: I was like, I can't believe... You don't know Bingo?
• 58:46
  Speaker 3: People were like going nuts. Like, oh, look at this.
• 58:50
  Speaker 3: How incredible this movie looks. But yeah, it's this nostalgia trip.
• 58:54
  Speaker 3: You realize how cheap things used to be.
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: That's the most depressing bit about it.
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: It is.
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: Big Macs for a dollar and you're like, oh.
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what I was going to say. Like,
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: you know, Burger King commercials or whatever. It's like, oh, yeah.
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: Awesome Batman glass for an extra $ 1.
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It makes me sad. But yeah, the whole thing
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: is a nostalgia strip. So we have those and then
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: we have obviously the costumes that people look forward to
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: the most.
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: Who votes? Just the people there vote?
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: I kind of, no. So it's just, it's the hosts
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: and me. I vote and then as well as the
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: people who are helping me score. Like I usually have
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: a team of people. I might just have one other
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: guy here. But you can really kind of tell based
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: on audience reaction who you should be. choosing as the
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: winner because usually they'll get, you know, it's the biggest
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: shares or whatever, but a lot of times it's really
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: hard because people, because there's so many factors in it, right?
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: There's like how the person performs as the character, what
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: their presentation is, how the quality of their costume, the reference,
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: there's just so many things to consider. 10 years ago now,
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: there was a couple that specifically flew in from, from,
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: Sussex in the UK to get engaged at Trivia Night.

  Speaker 2: That's crazy, that one.

  Speaker 1: Like, yeah. And somebody dressed up as the freak image
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: of Marge. before she changes to actual Marge in his head. Like,
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: oh my God, like I could never think of that.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: Like that's obscure. I mean, anybody who's trying to get

• 1:03:26
  Speaker 2: hair like Ralph and stuff. And I was like, it
