  Speaker 3: for the Democrats. This is all very very interesting stuff.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: It's all very well. It's turbulent times in American politics.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: And you know what it is, it's interesting. And that's
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: the complete opposite the pluribus e pluribus wigam. I was
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: about to say, e pluribus unham, which is what this
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: episode takes its title from.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: I did find it interesting that all this shit's going
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: down in American politics the one week we have to
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: do the American politics episode of the Citizens, it's.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: The unified theory or four fingers this out. Yeah, we
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: just get lucky, I guess it again. We get lucky
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: in some ways in that, you know, it gives us
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: stuff to talk about, but it makes us very very
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: unlucky in that we had to.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Watch this episode. Yeah, before we get into the episode.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: You've got other things to talk We've got real life
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: to talk about, much more interesting, much more fun.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: So. Last week we mentioned on the show that I
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: purchased that it was the Dilemma of the Goalpost for
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Elliott's birthday.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: Correct.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: I ordered it for those of you previously on four
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: voko discount. I ordered Elliott. He's nanny and Pop from
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: England got him some afl Ossie rules football goalposts mini
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: goalposts to set up in the backyard or everyone's set
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: them up at the oval taking packtice is kicking for goals.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: We got them home, they were snapped. The little poles
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: pins that held them together were snapped. Took them back
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: to Rebel Sport. Oh great, they said, yep, no worries,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: just grab another one, grabbed another one snapped. I feuman
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Elliott's double human. He just wasn't play footy. So then
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: we basically we go back again and they say we've
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: got no more. We can send a new one to
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: your house and if that one's no good, then you
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: can get a refund. During last week's show, just prior
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: to last week's show, recording, it arrived and I ta
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: saying I was going to let you know what happened.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: They worked, no snaps, No snaps. I reckon. Now. I
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: mentioned last week how I read the reviews as I
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: was leaving the second time, and I said a set
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: pins were snapped, pick it back, second step pins were snapped,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: and I thought, shit, I've just formed for the same thing.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: I got this new box, and I realized that this
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: box was sealed properly. Those last two words, I reckon,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: I've got that fucking person's snapped pins boxes.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Oh okay, you think you've got shoddy workmanship or someone's
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: sort of asleep at the weird.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Just put it back on the the return. Just put
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: it back on the shelf rather than put it back
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: into damages or whatever. Who would ever do this sort
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: of weird house. I have no idea, Dan, and I
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: have no experience of anything like. But I just thought, okay, well,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: it's great. You know, the gol blas a huge success.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: He loves it. He's going down there. But not the
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: cool thing is.

  Speaker 3: That earlier is going to be the next Tom Hawks.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: One cent is going to be that?

• 4:00
  Speaker 1: announced yesterday to.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Be we want to be called dom K, which is
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: a zick name, but.

• 4:09
  Speaker 1: your career wasn't finished yet. Hmmm, because wouldn't you want
• 4:14

  Speaker 3: To quote seeing see music factory, things that make you
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: go hmm. Yeah.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Anyway, so we went down to the local park here
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: set up the gold posts, and it took about I know,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: five minutes, and kids started noticing what's it over there?
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Goal posts, gold posts. These two brothers rocked over? Can

• 4:52
  Speaker 1: two girls and a boy will go into the park
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: and then note there's gold posts there. Can we join in?

  Speaker 1: This is great.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Football is the great unifiers. Sport is yeah, the sport is,
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: of course, yes, but the strain rules football, I like
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: to think, is very very unifying.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: It felt like I felt like I was just created
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: my own like Sandlot kids, but in football formed.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: One might even say out of many one yes.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: And then the kids. So we're walking down the streets

  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, first of one, I'm glad your goalposter finally, Yeah,
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: upstanding and operational.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: That's good news. And I'm very glad that Elliotts is
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: going to be the captain of this Conway of this
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: team Mighty Duck's reference. You said, God in Bay. I'll
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: assumed you knew what Charlie Comway would be.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: I'm aware of the Mighty Ducks, and I'm aware that
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: Emilia Estevez's character is named Gordon Bombay. Beyond that, I
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: don't really know much about the Mighty Ducks.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Pacy was in them, Pacey. Who's Paisy Joshua Jackson? Oh? Yes, yes?
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Or is that he's character from Dawson's Creek? Is it?
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: That's kinda wat Dawston's Creek? But yes he is. Charlie.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Here's Charlie Comway.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: Never go, I never watched Mardy Ducks, but we're learning.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Yes, he's named Charlie Conway, Mighty Ducks's named Passy and
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Dawson's Creek we learned things. Yeah, we're exchanging ideas. Yes,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: what are you going an antidote forest before we get
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: into this shiit show?
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: I got fuck all.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: I just realized I'd written favorite Moments or trivia or
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: anything I've got trua. I was so, actually I do
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: I do? I don't favorite moments, I've got trivia. I
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: just want to say, okay, e Pluribrius Wigham, right, or
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: do you have an eight day first or not? I
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: have no anecdote? Okay. So, first of all, it was
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: three minutes before anything of substance of sub substance happened
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: in this episode, right, So you had a two minute
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: couch gag and opening intro and in a minute of
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Burns being distract or trying to get Owns away from
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: work so they can leave work early, homerte Lenear and Carl.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: So I've got three minutes and nothing's happened, right, I
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: don't even leave work early.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: But they've got that thing where oh, we can't leave
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: until the boss leaves, which has never really come up
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: the fall.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: I assumed they were leaving work early, That's why I
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: had to wait for him to leave. But why was
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: the boss? And it didn't make sense. None of them
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: made sense anyway. My big issue with this was that
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: you wasted three minutes of our time, three minutes of
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: TV time on absolutely nothing, a couch gag and a
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: gag that made no sense. It went nowhere right and
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: added nothing to the episode. And then you couldn't even
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: give us an ending, So you got three minutes of nothing,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: nineteen minutes of a story, and at the end there
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: was no ending this. Why are they now deciding episodes
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: don't need endings. There was a point in time where
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: they went, oh, let's just wrap this up quickly, and
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: it was almost like a gag that we didn't even
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: get that here. It was just and that's the end.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Williams going for now, he's really smart, He's going for
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: a president. Here's his commercial end of the episode, and
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: I went, what what what's happened with happens next?
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: My final note about this episode? Okay, so what was
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: the point? Yeah, because this was the point of this episode.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: Kids aren't going to enjoy. Kids are not going to
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: enjoy this episode.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: I don't think adults are going to want adults. It's
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: a very niche target audience. It's incredibly me because if
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: you don't understand American politics, and I think Americans just
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: seemed to think that we all understand American politics and
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: we're all interested in it. Maybe when you got wackos
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: like Trump, yes, maybe, but the ins and outs and
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: all the different politicians, Yeah, the majority of people outside
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: the States don't give a shit.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, when it becomes a side show, yeah, or when
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: it becomes a circus, as it often does around election time.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: But when you're getting down to the nitty gritty and
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: the minutia of electoral colleges and primaries and all that
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: kind of stuff, yeah, I think, first of well, we're
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: gonna have a lot of Americans going I'm not really
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: quite grasping this, they're just you know why a lot
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: of Americans don't go to the polls, then people outside
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: of America are going to go. I can't make it
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: or tail of this shit. What you had with this episode,
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: to my mind at least, was a combination, a really
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: toxic combination of incredibly dense and unbearably smug. This I've
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: that was my key word from this episode was the
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: Simpsons has become smug for a number of reasons, the
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: politics aside. Right, there was a gag in here where
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: Homer gets out cigars called jerkass Homer right, courtesy of
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: our friend Al Jean. Apparently this gag.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: I have issue with this because that says to me
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: that you're listening, or you at least acknowledging that you
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: are aware of the gripes that your audience has with
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: the direction of your show. Now right back in two
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: thousand and eight one in this ad, the problem is
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: acknowledging it and then doubling down on it, and we're
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: basically saying to the audience, we know you don't like it,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: but fuck it, we're going to do it anyway.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's acknowledging it, and then there's revering in it.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Looks like we're doing here. Like it or don't, We
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: don't give a shit, we're going to be doing it.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: I thought, that's the only result you're going to get
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: from doing that is not get laughs, is going to
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: alienate your audience. And you know what happens at this
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: point in time, the Simpsons, they alienated their audience. It
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: wasn't just because you started to alienate it by making
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Homer a joke, Cass, but then by acknowledging if I
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: was watching this, Okay, I'd given up on The Simpsons
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: by this point, watching it at week to week to week.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: But if I was watching it week to week to
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: week and I saw that gag, I'll watched this episode.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: This would be the episode e Pluripus Wigan where I
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: would go tows thrown in. I'm done because you've basically
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: said to me, you don't give a shit about what
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: I think anymore. Just enjoy what we're doing, and I
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: don't enjoy it. How could you possibly enjoy the joke, Cass? Homer.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: You've proven last week eternal moonshot of the Simpsons mind
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: we can get lovely Homer. You still know how to
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: do it. So, why in God's name would you still
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: do this kind of stuff and acknowledge to your audience.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: We know you have an issue with joke carss Homer,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: but we're going to do it anyway, So sit down,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: shut up, and just enjoy it. Yeah.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: I don't think anyone has as it's ridiculous. I think
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: people have a problem with jerk as Homer, absolutely. I
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: think I don't think they have a problem with Homer
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: being a jerk, as long as it's something that he
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: either learns from or is actually kind of funny. Yeah,
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: and hope hopefully a combination.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Of the two doesn't get any repercussions for his actions here. Right,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: And it made sense to me because the right Michael
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Price Right. So Price and his son came up with
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: the episode's opening set piece is off Wikipedia struck. During
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: a drive in California, they stopped at a Burger king.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: They had a long scoop on its trash can for
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: customers to throw away trash from their car. His son commented,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Homer would love that he's so lazy. This led to
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: the creation of the fast Food Boulevard, with Price's son
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: suggesting the name of the fast food I seeing that
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: the episode going, you couldn't think of a creative name.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: He just went fast food Boulevard.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: I think Price's son actually suggested Vesuvius Pizza. I think
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: that's the thing that he suggested as opposed to fast
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: food Boulevard.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Or maybe he did both. No, When in the episode
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: when Homer destroys Fast Food Boulevard, a restaurant, okay, maybe
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: you're right there, name Yeah Pizza is shown exploding with
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: pizza sauce coming out of its top like lava. The
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: joke was pitched by Price's son, who had been learning
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: about volcanoes in school and in all no no, no,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: no creation the fast food Boulevard, with Price's son suggesting
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: the name. So he suggested the joke as well as
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: the name of fast Food Boulevard, both things. So this
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: whole scene was written by a child, and it felt
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: that way. It kind of in the nicest possible way
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: for the child. I get it, he's a child, but
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: I'll give.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: Him due respect for Vesuvius Pizza with thought, which I
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: thought was actually kind of funny, and honestly, I would
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: eat that fast Food Boulevard. However, you that that's very placeholder,
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: isn't it.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: It just felt like it became a.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: Boulevard with a lot of fast foods.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Come up with a funny name. That's that's like they
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: get too angsty about the name of the fast food boulevard.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: The thing is, though, Homer blows up fast food Boulevard
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: and then he's one saying we need to rebuild it.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: There's no repercussions. It's makes no fucking sense, we need
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: to rebuild it. He doesn't get any repercussions from his
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: stupid actions. He then is the guy that says we
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: need to put Wigham in charge.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: Like, yeah, first of all, Homer aware that he's actually
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: blown up. No, he doesn't know, no, So it's it's
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: understandable that yeah, yeah, I would think, oh well, if
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: he knew that he blew it up, then maybe him
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: sort of doing a bit of a shifty cover up.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: It's jerk ass behavior, but it's also kind of funny.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: I like it when Homer is kind of devious that look,
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: there were so I suppose I was so disjointed in
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: so many ways that it was just hard to get
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: a handle on. I mean, you you weren't flowing smoothly
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: through it. One thing did not lead to another, or
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: if it did, you could really see the joins. The
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: scenes were not seamless. They were very, very broaden and
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: odd colored. Threat it's like, oh, well, you're patching together
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: a bunch of ideas. You've got a Frankenstein's Monster of
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: an episode here. You know you want to cover politics,
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: how do you get to that? Only I don't have
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: your traditional I don't know, Homer fucking.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: It doesn't really Also for me, I don't really I
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: do not understand the ins and outs of American politics
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: all that much, right, I know, than basics. But Lisa
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: even points out here you have to be thirty five
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: to be a candidate. Why would you have one of
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: your characters point out that this story actually doesn't make
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: any sense. Like if you just get to pretend that
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: thlow the rules out the window and just pretend look,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: just in the Simpsons University, this can happen, that's fine.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: But to have listen then go, this can't actually happen
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: because he's not old enough. But then but then you
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: see his campaign and it's like, but you've just told
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: us it can't happen. And they're like, oh the Patriot Act,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: and I'm oh it just did my head in.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: But one thing I was thinking while watching this, however,
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: is okay, you want to do political sato, and you
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: want to do it about American politics and particularly about
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: you know, the convoluted.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Way it operates. It's done a lot better in the past.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: They have done a lot better in the past. But
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: here's the thing. Okay, the show is called The Simpsons.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: It's about a town called Springfield. Springfield has got a
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: lot of people in It's got some very smart people,
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: it's got some very dumb people. Okay, the dumb people
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: in this case, they're going to say, I don't understand politics.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: I don't understand Yeah, what's the primary about it? I
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: mean what you can just nominate anyone, but then any
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: party can someone sort of claim them. That's when you've
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: got someone smart, say Lisa come along and say, well,
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: you know, the way American politics work, or the way
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: the primary works is this, And they explain it to
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: a dumb character who also is us also me, because yeah,
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: the dumb characters are sorry for me, who understands nothing
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: about American politics. Here they just I don't know. It
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: felt like you know what we're gonna We're gonna pitch
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: this to the smartest person in the refridge.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: But they wrote a show for themselves, well they yeah,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: they really did.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: It really felt like in the room they were one
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: uping each other with oh, yeah, I've been watching a
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: bit of c and then oh, well I've been watching
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: c SPAN. Yeah, I think I've got to handle on
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: how politics. Oh, by the way, isn't the way the
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: media handles politics? Doesn't that become kind of a circus.
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: Let's take the piss out of that a bit as well. Yeah,
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: it really felt to go back to the S word,
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: It just felt unbearably smug.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: And on the topic of smug, right, I bring up
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: how I'm sick of the list gags already in season
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: nineteen there was a point in time where the Simpsons
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: signed gags where they were just a backdrop. They were
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: if you weren't paying attention, they were there for the
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: smartest person in the room to go, did you see
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: that joke? Like you didn't? A freeze frames ex easter
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: ex exactly right. But now they have become the look
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: how smart our signs are, and they almost the joke.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: They aren't just signs they're going past anymore. It's when
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: home was going down the boulevard. It's sign science science.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: It's almost got to a point me to acknowledge us creativity.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: They're lingering on it just a little bit too long.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: Used to be, you would see it for look, I'm
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: not sending a stop watch or anything like that, but
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: you'd see a newspaper headline or a street sign, and.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: It'd always be a subheading that was really funny. Yeah.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: Now they would focus on on the screen for maybe
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: three seconds whatever, and yeah, if you've got oh hey, hey,
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: that's a nice little.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Addition to that. Hidden gags, hidden gags.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: And now they're very much in your face. And look,
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: I don't like things in my face. I've told you
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: there's many times down I stop putting things in my face.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Well, you tell me your safe word next time. What
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: would be your safe word, Palomino? I remember that the
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: next time. But the joke ass Home, I just really
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: it really bothered me. And just I just thought, how
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: disrespectful to your fans to acknowledge that we hear issues
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: we don't care.
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: Ridiculous, unless, of course, this is a final farewell to
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: Jerkar's homer, which I doubt it is.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: I would say it's probably not because they seem quite
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: proud of the fat.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: They seem to be really just steering into it, don't they. Yeah,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: it's an odd one. My favorite. I mentioned earlier, I
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: didn't have any favorite moments. Did you have any favorite moments?
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: I have precisely three?
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay.
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: Then when they're in New Hampshire, Dan Rather and all
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: the other media types leave because it's happening in Springfield
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: where the Simpsons are, and there's the couple the diner. Yeah, well,
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: I've said my name is Martha and I'm going to
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: have to kill him. That's a reference to one of
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: my favorite movies, Sergia Landi is fantastic lesson Once upon
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: a Time in the West, which stars the great Hollywood
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: star Henry Fonder, known for playing good guys and great
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: upstanding characters. Sergei Ilioni made him a victim who shoots
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: a kid because, yeah, one of his hensman says, what
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: are we going to do with kid? Frank, Well, I
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: know that you said my name. People were like, what.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Well, that's kind of like remember Breaking Bad. When that happens,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: you're like, oh shit, they did it.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not pro killing kids in real life, but
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: when you're doing on screen kind of cool.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Well, I always say to Nicola. Usually in most shows
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: that we watched, whether it be a Law and Order
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: or easy not the easy going shows, but they're more
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: commercially friendly versions of crime shows. Usually the kids are safe,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: babies are safe, and animals are usually safe. But sometimes
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: they go down and they injure a kid WEP, and
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: you're like, oh fuck, and they feel real bad.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: Usually the episodes you remember, I mean, you're a Laurwa
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: and Order guy. Yount was a regular Law and Order
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: or Laura and.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Order SPU or criminal in well, no, but I'm thinking
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: about a particular episode where it was Colmic Glachlin from
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Twin Peaks. Oh, yes, yes, he's has.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: His son been killed by someone, by a little boy
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: who turned out to be like an irredeemable psychopath. Yeah,
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: and Colma Glochlain and grabs like the bailiff's gun or
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: something and shoots the kid in the courtroom.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I think it's in the hallway maybe, yeah, or
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: something like that, and you're like, I only deserved that.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: You didn't expect it. That Brad headed Ken. So that
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: was one of his favorite moment.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: I like that very much.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: It's being injured usually make guy's favorite moments. Yes, love it.
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: I enjoyed mo When asked about his political creation, I
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: registered something.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I knew there'll be there's moments in here.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: I just haven't written a bit.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: And we're all a fan of when we enter Homer's
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: brain and it's either it's a circus monkey or it's
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: a lazy donkey or something like that. This time his
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: thought processes are clear, concise, correct. Well, I'm not allowed
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: to get one right.
• 20:48

• 22:52
  Speaker 1: the question would have been. Now've written the answer. Can't
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: remember the question? Okay, jeopardy, then I remember Homer says,

• 23:05
  Speaker 1: it's Captain Conduction Schnitzel Palace.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: I think he's talking about all the places that are
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: now gone, and he's really sad about it, and he's like,
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: oh propse, I wouldn't try. Yeah, I asked my question
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: and answered from stuff.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: We'll speaking of Homer and eating. Yeah, what is he
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: expecting to eat when he when he's on the phone
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: to March, he's like, get the someone, so ready?
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: Is it defied bacon?
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: It's deep fried pork chops.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Pork chops. You were close and you're in the we're
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: in the same magical meat. I do like that the
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: consistency there that Homer's favorite meal from Marge is always
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: her pork chops. Well, everyone's got the basics, meat and
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: vench So my next question for you is how many
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: restaurants were destroyed? It's two parter and what were they rated?
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: There were thirty seven restaurants have destroyed and they ranged
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: from awful to mediocre.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: See, now that we're on camera, people can say that
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: you're reading off your notes, so that so they no,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: I don't care that you're doing that. But now it's
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: like I used to edit it together so that sounds
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: like you were smart, But now that it's like, hey,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: he's got the answer written in front of him. Smart.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: I was smart enough to write this, Dad, right there
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: you go. Yes, Well, my my next question to you
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: is actually related to that. What was the life span
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: of fast food Boulevard?
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Ah, it was nineteen seventy seven? Was it that? When
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: it is that? When it started? It was the seventies. A, right,
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: it was seventy eight.
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: No, you're going in the wrong dirrecty.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: What is it? Nineteen seventy two? So it would have
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: been thirty the lifespan, which is the years that it was,
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: so thirty six years.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: Okay, it was nineteen seventy two to two thousand and eight.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, thirty six years. Yeah, sorry, I should have I
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: phrased my question inelegantly. Yeah, what year there was it?
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: They kept giving you a lifespan?
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's mean thing. You would think that I would not.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: I was going to try for one more question for
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: you as I'm scoll strolling through my notes. Okay, well,
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: what hotel was it? So? Residents in by Higher Embassy suites,
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: by Courtyard by Marriott dash Are something hotel that's where
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: the Republicans were having their folk group.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: Oh look, I probably had my head in my hands
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: like this. Okay at this stage, so I start Wood
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: Hotel Star War.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: I was just gimming through my notes though, and this
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: was another thing I had just on an issue because
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: I know this is an American show, so they making
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: American politics. But when they used to take on politics
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: in the past, and the Simpsons, they didn't double down
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: and have so many references to politicians of that time.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: It was just about the politics in general, just the
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: system in general, and they would replace politicians with sideshow
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: Bob going for mayor or things like that. It would
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: still be doing the same thing and taking the piss
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: out of the political system, but they weren't doubling down
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: and having references to actual politicians. Because now you watch
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: this in twenty twenty four, and all the references of
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: the people hand make absolutely no sense. No one knows
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: who any of these people are anymore.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: The only one I knew was Fred Thompson, and that's because,
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: as they say, he was in dire hard too in
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: the Hunt for Red October.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: I knew the just like I was gonna get down
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: to that moment. But the thing is, all these people,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: no one knows who they are outside of the States
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: mostly anyway, and b in twenty twenty four, I mean,
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: even still politicians. And it's just it makes the show. Really,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: it's such a dated it's such a weird episode to
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: make it goes against everything the Simpsons is always done.
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: It really did didn't it. I mean, yeah, it felt
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: like a time capsule, but in the worst possible way.
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: It's like opening a time captures, like we didn't close
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: this properly. Now everything's molding and smelling and discussing.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: I think John Stewart's appearance was weird. Even he feels
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: dated now. John Stewart, Yeah, I mean he's.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: Back, but yeah, John Seward feels.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: His appearance here was so bland. It was.
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: John Seward feels like he was very relevant a very
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: particular time. I like the guy. I think he's very
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: very funny. I think he's he was able to in
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: this time. The Daily Show was huge. Absolutely.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: I don't know how funny or insightful he is these days.
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: I don't really pay much attention to the way he's
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: covering politics or the way he's covering current affairs these days,
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: but certainly in this time it was like, oh, well,
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: politics is a bit of a circus. We might need
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: a bit of a ring master, and we got that
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: in Stewart, But in this episode, yeah, it felt like
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: an un easy combination of political commentator and also comedian.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Well, for me, he always he seemed fearless. John Stewart
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: because I was only in my teens early teens when
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: he was sort of a thing. But you seem on
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: TV and he was like the guy that would have
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: no fear to take on the politicians and say what
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: he thought. Right in this episode here, it just came
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: across as if he was timid and he was polite,
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: and he should have been like really going at Krusty.
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: He should have, shouldn't he?
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was just weird, really tepid.
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: Are we doing any more trivia questions? Because I have
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: one more for it?
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, go hit me one more.
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: What is dumont Evans's media outlets slate dot com?
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: He's from slave dot that's the thing, right it is?
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: But Wigham, So let's skim through this episode, shall we.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: So the original air date of the episode was January sixth,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: two thousand and eight, so it was the first episode
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: two thousand and eight. Actually, another thing I need to
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: point out apparently this aired almost an entire year after
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: A Bumble was nominated as the representative. So, as you said,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: what was the point of this episode? Because you watch
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: the end of it, you kind of get to the
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: point where you think, Okay, they're trying to say vote
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: for the right person, or pick the right person, but
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: we already knew who the yeah, who the representatives were
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: at this points of what are we doing here?
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all the American system is flawed and we're just
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: picking any old clown when it was kind of obvious
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: from the initial picking of Obama, who was not necessarily
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: all that well known, but it was clear that this
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: was a breath of fresh air for American politics in
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: so many ways. Yeah, yeah, and this sort of runs
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: counter to that.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Think about this though, is I think it's a victim
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: of the Simpsons. They take nine months to make an episode,
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: so maybe when they started pitching this idea putting things together,
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Obama hadn't quite been nominated yet or put his.
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: Hand up or whatever.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: And by the time they already started making it, they
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: can't Once I've started, they can't go, well, we can't
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: make it now.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: Well maybe they should have just done a Batwoman and
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: Sheldon and then put on a repeat.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, this episode man so production code kab F
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: zero three written by Michael Price. I mean, great writer.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: It's just.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: His name's on it, but you can tell this is
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: just the writer's room. This is a group effort in
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: the worst way, Yes, and directed by Mike Frank Paulsen,
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: who was apparently nominated for a Writer's Guild of America
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: award for the directing of this episode, not the content,
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: just the directing side of things. So nominated for Best
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Direction by the Writers Guild. By the Writer's Guild of America. Yeah,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: the chopboall gag teacher did not pay too much for
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: her condo. I don't know why that rub me the
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: wrong way. It just felt so smarmy. It seems like
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: something Bart wouldn't say. Again, they're not writing Bart as
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: a ten year old anymore. They're writing gags. That makes them.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: It's the writers writing jokes for themselves. They're not. There
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: was a point in time. I know, I'm just geting
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: on a bit of a rant here, but Harry Shearer
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: once said to us, I know this is even on
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: the record when he said this to us, pretty sure
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: it was. I'm gonna say it anyway. There came a
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: point where he realized they weren't writing jokes for characters anymore.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: They were just writing jokes and assigning it to characters. Yes,
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: that's exactly what this was. They aren't writing jokes. That
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: what would Bart be right? What would he be punished for?
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: What would what would Bart say to missus k What
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: would he say? It's just we're writing jokes. Now throw
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: it on the short game. Which character can say this?
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: Let's just give it to Cletus, Let's just give it
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: to Principal Skinner. It doesn't matter who's saying it. It's
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: just here's a joke. A scientist. Just put somebody, give
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: it to somebody. And that's when he realized what's the point,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: Because he said I was said to I literally said
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: to them, he said ned Flanders wouldn't say this, and
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: they didn't care. And that's when he went, what am
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: I bothering for? Yeah, you've got no continuity of character,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: and it affects It affects the structural integrity of the show.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: And it would affect I'm not saying would affect the
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: performance because they're professionals, right, but it'd have to annoy
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: you when you're going, I know this character probably better
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: than you guys writing it. I am this character. I
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: know he wouldn't say this, so it doesn't it wouldn't
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: feel natural saying these lines.
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the writers of Career, well, the creators of the show,
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: have created the characters, the writers have helped development over time.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: But if you will, they gave a big finality.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: But if you're living with this character week after week,
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: episode after episode, yeah, your creative juice has flowed into
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: that as well. So of course Harry Shearer and the
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: other cast members again are right to have this say
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: about the character. Sounds this way, the character acts this way,
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: the character reacts this.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: Way, of course, but that's again with the joke cast. Homer,
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: you're saying, people watch the show week to week. The
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: people who are complaining about Joe Cass, Homer, we're just
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: going online and complaining. They were saying that because they
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: wanted to be better. Then your audience who once loved
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: the show are saying, you've taken the show in a
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: direction that we don't really like. Can we try and
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: maybe find a middle ground here? And the show went
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: nah nah nah, noah, fuck you, Yeah, it bothered me.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: So the episode kicks off with Homer, well, let's.
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: Not forget about the couch gag, because the couch gag,
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: isn't it unusual and unrelate?
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: Well, a parody of the medieval the Beot tapestry.
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, which is a about a seventy meter tapestry depicting
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: the Norman conquests where a band of European soldiers only
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: sort of French and Belgian and all that kind of shit.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: That kind of shit. Yeah, it's ancient, which French and Belgi.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: I was like, I fought waffles.
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: They conquered England in ten sixty six.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and then just wasted ninety seconds. But like I said,
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: it was two minutes when the couch gag ended, and
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: then there was a minute of Homer, Lenny and Carl
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: at the power plant saying we could have wait for
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Burnstley before we can live. Oh, that goes distracting him.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Then he calls him and does a like it's a
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: phone booth parody?
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: Was it almost a sort of yeah? Or when did
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: Taken come out? Taken feels like two thousand, two thousand
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: and eight, Yeah, sort of feels that way. Somewhere also
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: feels like phone booth. Ye, right, how did your brain
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: work that out?
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: Because my brain I associate what I was doing a
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: moment of my life in that time when I saw
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: that movie, and I was like, I married now kids.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: I was like, I saw that movie with a particular girl,
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: and I know what year I've seen in that particular girl.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: That's how I know. Ye that movie there can So
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: I'm saying two thousand and eight, what are you.
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: Saying, I'm gonna say two two thousand. I'm gonna say
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: two thousand and eight as well.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: It was two thousand and eight. Yeah, we're both right.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: I hadn't you worked that out.
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: I don't remember how I knew it, but yeah, because yeah,
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: up to a certain stage, and it's probably like the
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: early two thousand, it's like, oh, okay, well, no, I
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: was working here at that stage, or yea, I was
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: living at this place at this particular stage, or drove
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: this car to go to that preview or something along
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: those lines. Two thousand and eight, I don't know, that's
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: when things start to get fuzzy. Well not even that's
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: when things start to get fuzzy, but you know, the
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: two thousands is kind of like.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: It's all started to blur into one.
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: It could have happened in twenty twelve, it could have
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: happened in twenty nineteen, It could have happened in two
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: thousand and five.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: I can tell you week to week to week in
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: the nineties about two thousand and five. I'm just like
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: it all becomes one thing.
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: Was I going to say something else.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: But the guy's calling top taking paradise.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: I must admit I did get a laugh though, when
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: they're saying, oh, he's gonna tell them that story about
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: hang on.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and then then you see that, Yeah, it's like, Okay,
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: that's pretty good. That's a visual game.
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: But after that it just stretches on way too long.
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: And honestly, stuff with Homer doing the hostage thing.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: First of all, it's just I'm going to kill your
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: dog or something or I'm going to kill your kids.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: It's dumb and it's cruel. Yeah, and he says if
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: you do it, I think he says, and if you
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: do this your dog, I'll let your dog leave or something.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: And he's do the rocket dance on the way out.
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: And it was all for nothing. It was it's literally
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: just filler. And as I said, filler in an episode
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: three minutes now I have gone by where Burns is
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: left and the guys are leaving in an episode that
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: they didn't couldn't think of an ending, so they just
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: didn't have an ending.
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: So what the hell.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: Is going on? So burns is left. He calls Homer
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: has caught margin on the way home. She says, the
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: first of the month, which means is the day that
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: you promised to start your diet. I actually had this
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: in my notes that super relatable. How many times do
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: you go on, start my diet but eat all the
• 34:51

• 34:53

  Speaker 1: I'll start it the first of the next month.
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: Tell you what I'm going to build up a quote
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: unquote a spank bank of memories, but all food related
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: in terms of like, oh that's that was the last
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: KFC I ever had, Oh so tasty. Oh remember I
• 35:20

• 35:39
  Speaker 3: on the app, and you're when you're logged in, you
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: can only claim it once.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: Now, Oh yeah, I was not impressed. Disappointing from the colonel,
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: the shrunken size and the shrunking content as well.
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: Nobody likes a loophole. No, no, nobody likes a loophole.
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I think we're all we can very much

• 36:14
  Speaker 1: size of the tenders. Now, I was been saying, you're
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: just we're talking about that disappointed tastes wise, it's never disappointing.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: McDonald's always disappointing. Big Max usually generally safe for me.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: Big Max chips are always shipped for me. McDonald's cheeseburgers.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: Cheeseburgers were a good after drink out in town, have

• 36:38
  Speaker 1: food and service. We got to Hunkry Jacks. Even if
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: there's a line, it's just like in and out KFC KFC.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: Last night, I went to get the kids first and
• 36:47

• 37:03
  Speaker 3: It's nuts where people like lined up on the highway.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: I was no, so I was lining the back of KFC,
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: nor so the backstreet. So it was the entire drive
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: through was full, and there was I was one cart
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: out of the of the complex, so it was like
• 37:14

• 37:17
  Speaker 1: we can get through, kids, And this put some frust.
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: Were you getting frustrated? Were you sort of projecting onto

• 37:28
  Speaker 1: Oh what kind of sauce?
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: Though?
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: I had to know what you want before you go.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: That thing that shits me more than anything. Everyone knows
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: what they want to get when they go to a
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: fast food place. No one should get there and go,
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: what do I want today? You know you want the
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: same shit you always order. Just fucking order it. Goodness sakes.
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: But I thought, you know what, I'm not gonna get
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: stressed here because Allie's like it's going to be a
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: long time. Like now it's all good, buddy, put some
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: songs on. What do you think we relied on? I
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: want to I don't know. It's baby shack. They wanted
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: him in Raps City and it got to the loud
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: part as the kids call it, and we were in
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: the drive through going Dude Wayne's World Style. I was like,
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: I am a good dad, and then Elliott requested Paradise
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: City by Guns and Roses, and I was like, oh,
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: fucking raising these kids, right, But they loved Alliot loves
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: we all rock you, We are the champions. Because he
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: always remembers, he goes, I remember you when you sang
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: this in town when the Cat's won the Grand Finals.
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: I love that He's always already got a memory of
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: me drunk singing that song, like a good memory of
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: the Cats winning the Grand Final. Anyway, So thirty seven
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: minutes put songs on the kids dance, had a good time.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: I didn't get stressed out until it got to the
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: point where we were one car from the final window
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: and this guy who took forever to order his food
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: was then sitting there forever. And I saw them give
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: a bag and he five seconds goes by and I
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: was like, oh, he's tooking through the bag. And then
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: he hands the bag back and I was like, you, well,
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: you'n the.
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: Sad way you'd be mad at this person. But at
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: the same time, you know, to quote Peshi in the
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: Leath the Weapon movies, they can fuck.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: You with the drive through. Yeah, you got to make sure.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: You have to make sure. Well, this is how because
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: the only thing the KFS always fucks me without the
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: drive through is the extra salt on the chips, right,
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: we always want extra salt. They always go, yeah, it's
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: extra salt. Last time specifically said is the extra salt
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: and he goes yeah yeah, and there wasn't right. They
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: liked you. The kids lie to you. This is how
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: you get around that mistake. If you're having issues with
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: KFS giving you extra salt, is you order chips with
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: no salt, and then you get and then they have
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: to make them fresh because there's no salt, and then
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: you get to the window and go fucked up. My
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: wife says, you want an extra salt, not no salt. Sorry, mate, Okay.
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: Then they have to put extra salt on it, and
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: you watch them do it. That's how you guarantee you
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: extra because they they're fresh chips, so they taste good
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: and they guarantee that extra salt. That's your lidbot order
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: them the no salt, cooked fresh and then say, whoops,
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: my bad, I want an extra salt.
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: I feel like I'm Luke Skywalker training with Yoda. Here.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: That's what I did last night.
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: You're just gaming the system.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: Your ship heads always lie to.
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: Me beating the kernel at his own game.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: But when he handed that bag back, Ali actually od
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: at one point, just get up with it. Good Lord,
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: your car those two times party mobile, it was a

• 40:45
  Speaker 3: I know that Julie Kevner is a professional and a
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: smart person and got the joke, but it almost seemed
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: like she didn't she that was that was the joke. Yeah,

  Speaker 1: Yeah. So the various places are General Chanin's, Taco Italiano,

  Speaker 1: to be changing that. Yeah, Kentucky Fi Panda. I did
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: not see anywhere on Disney Plus. My words, doing your frazier.
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: To correct.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: There's like a bane inspector praying for a free or
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: return referred to me it was Kentucky Red Pounder. So
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: basically the montages from just eating various foods. He drives
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: up to the sideshow mail bin trash.
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that tracks sideo mail is trash.
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: Yes, and he throws all the stuff in. He clars
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: out his car, including a car battery because why not,
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: and acid drips down onto the gas mane. He's having
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: his victory cigar, which is a jerk ass homo cigar.
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: It says, basically, if you haven't watched the episode, it says,
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: joke cass Homer on the box. That's his like bastard,
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: a little bastard tampering kit. It's Homer's joke ass homo cigars.
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: It honestly felt like that.
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: It felt like a massive screw you to the audience.
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: It really did. I'm not sure that he kind of
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: thought this is the it was going to be taking. Well,
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: you can't make this gag and think, oh, they're gonna
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: think it's funn because we're acknowledging their their issues that
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: we have that they have at the show. It's hard
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: to be a good sport about that. Don't acknowledge it,
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: just be better, just fix it. So he throws the
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: match that hit cigar into the bin, of course, and
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: it blows up all the shops on Fast Food Boulevard.
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: We get a hahnsmum and death here get squashed because
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: everyone else is getting pizza bases thrown in their face.

  Speaker 1: He gets the sign and lard Lad's head explodes. It's
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: now a town meeting all the various mascots from Fast
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: Food Boulevard, and they're including the rib whitch. Indeed, what
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: are they referred to? Was Cheesy mcmahir or something. What's
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: madmic cheese of course, but they referred him as cheesey
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: mcmah or something like that. Yeah, come up with a
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: family name. It sounds like facing mcface face, doesn't It
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: Just like it's the most basic thing. But Homer demands
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: to we must rebuild Fast Food Boulevard and Hibbit suggests
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: they only need to bond issue. So Lisa says, but
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: that would be our problem then, and bar says, no,
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: woulds pass on to the next generation. Make he sees
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: next to her, there's nobody's going to be her generation issue.
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: Then they bring the Springfields presidential presidential primary forward to
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: this Tuesday. I think it says or something. Yeah.
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: I think it was initially going to be months in
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: the future and now it's.
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: Next week, which means they're now first in the nation.
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: It would have been nice for them to explain just
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: what that means. Yeah, because kids are got home going
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: what are you talking about? Adults a home going? What
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: are you talking about? I should know this, I know,
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: but I don't, So you can explain it to me, please.

  Speaker 1: Yes, and it's going to be earlier New Hampshire because
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: I guess they're always first. Yeah, and they throwing the
• 44:35

• 44:44
  Speaker 1: they're usually the first ones, and they hear the Springfield's
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: actually going to be first now, so they all leave
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: for that. And we get the reference you're talking about
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: earlier of the old couple who were in a diner.
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: But that's a cameo by actual US newsman Dan Rather.
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I think in the show, in this episode, you
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: could tell what it was actual people when it was
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: just Simpson's cast parroting something true.
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but rather apparently as a name you can
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: trust yes, or you used to be able to anywy.
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: Apparently there was some sort of scandal involving of fake news,
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: but I don't know, something along those lines. Anyway, Moving along,
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: Moving along.
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: We get the ad for vote now or I voted
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: or whatever, and camp Brockman's doing a report with Springfield's
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: primary now first in the nation. Are humbles that he
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: has overrun with candidates, news hounds, spin doctors, hacks, flax, Russerts, blitzers,
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: and even the occasional voter. Sir, do you have a preference? Yeah?

• 45:38
  Speaker 1: is now the center of the political universe.
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: Well, here you've got an opportunity for Lisa to use
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: her pedantic powers for good. You know, she's the one
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: who pops in and explains everything and hopefully does it
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: in a way that's.
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: A pop up video.
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she explains it to the dumbest people in the
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: various rooms that she's in.
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: You could have thought of a creative way to work that.
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: In absolutely or yeah, and when Ralph come into the picture,
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: Ralph is clearly, you know, not that bright. Lisa has
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: to explain every step of the way and therefore explaining
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: to us, and we'll be going, oh well, hey, quote
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: another show on the fourth fing a discount network. I
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: learned something today. Yeah, listen to going down to South Park? Yes,
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: or watch it or even watch it.
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: By the way, guys, So the way this is going
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: now is we're filming all the shows, so clips are
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: going to be going up on social media. In the
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: YouTube channel, you can watch clips up there. But if
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: you want to watch the full show now of guy
• 46:25

  Speaker 1: Park and now the shows we do here a fourthing
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: a discount, you're gotta be supported of ours on page

• 46:44
  Speaker 1: watch a clip. Yeah, watch a clip. Share it with
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: your friends. I think the way definitely share explaining the
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: primary scenario right when they mentioned the fact that they
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: needed the bond issue here, but says that someone could
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: have gone. But how do we do that? And Lisa explains, well,
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: we could bring it forward, I guess, but that would
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: be and then make and he goes done this Tuesday.
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: She's like, I don't think we know, it's I haven't
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: thought about it. Yeah, they all work out, manarel Yeah,
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: that's easy. We just fixed in fucking ten seconds.
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: We know, yeah, we know that the people of Springfield
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: are always going to take the path less ted or
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: not none. The path is the path of least resistance.
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: Especially when Lisa goes. But we couldn't do that because.
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no one's thinking about consequences or anything like that.
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: So how do we make that happen? Well, this way,
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: but I wouldn't. It's done. Now, there's a way of
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: doing it. I get. But ooh perfect, Yes, fantastic, another trap.
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: See how easy it is to fix this ship?
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, I can't speak for Dano. I'm a
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: fucking dumb.
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: Ass, you know. We were all dumb asses, and yet
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: we were able to make this episode, I don't know,
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: a little more palatable. Yes, it went It went down
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: smooth like a box had ten tenders. She mentions here
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: the think tank and homes all think take and we
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: get the him the flashback or not the flash of
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: the thought bubble is now, let's consider the World Bank
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: leading lending policies to make me Now, this was a really.
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: Good bait and switch because I was honestly expecting, like
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: Homer to come bursting through the.
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: Wall in a tank, you know, any tank, Yeah, yeah, like.
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: With with an army helmet on and yeah, or you know,
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: a big cigar like yeah, like he's general pattern or something.
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: Take that, you know, which we probably would have been funny.
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: It would have been funny.
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: But at the same time, this was both funny and smart,
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: and I really appreciated that that what I'm allowed to
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: get one right.
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: Everyone's in a while, yeah, Mo's and they're all annoyed
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: that the news is are lapping on it is at
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: this point yet not annoyed, you are. They're annoyed once
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: they all arrive, So the news is are lapping up
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: the sauce that's why he's a big fan, because you
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: know they're all drinking there, or the or the news
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: reporters and whatnot. And they one of them asked you
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: have internet access? And it was like, I wasn't really
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: paying attention to I'm just gonna plug from his phone
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: and plugging.
• 48:52
  Speaker 3: Into it that way.
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm guessing this before Wi Fi people. But
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: I'm guessing it.
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: Didn't even work because I mean, I think they would have.
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: Put that, That's what I thought was happed coming.
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but they didn't. I think Moe just pulled a
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: swifty and they goes like wown nay connected the world
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: Wide Web.
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So he poked the phone and John Stewart here now,
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: so he says, I'm John Stewart. Do I need to
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: say my name? People know me? Then Krusty walks in
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: right and says, hey, it's John Stewart. I was like,
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: we know that. Why would Crusty walk up and say hey,
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't work on and go hey it's guy Davis.
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: You could have just had him go because he says
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: here everyone's favorite political funny man.
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: He could have said, I'm John Stewart. You know, do
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: you have to say my name, and Christ walks in.
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: He goes, well, it isn't everyone's favorite political funny man.
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: You didn't have to go, hey, it's Judge Stewart, everyone's
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: favorite political funny man. Yeah, or why we're in the
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: era of hey, hey, it's that celebrity in case you

• 50:06
  Speaker 1: very bad of you. And it's like, walks off and
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking what that was. You hadn't judged Stewart and
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: that's all you did with him.
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, although I'm pretty sure we're going to assume that
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: Will Smith somewhere in his You wonder where I'm going
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: with this, aren't you? Uh sitting somewhere in his compound
• 50:20

• 50:28
  Speaker 3: keep your zingers out of my mouth, Keep my zingers

• 50:36
  Speaker 3: out your fucking mouth.
• 50:38

  Speaker 3: I think she struck me as quite aware that she
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: knew that she was going to be. She seems quite charming.
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: She seemed really nice.
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and also look not to get to adult content
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: on what is generally a family friendly show, but.
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: Sounds like a great date the whole twelve. It's like, damn,
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: that's hot. It's just I don't know. She just seemed
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: like a cool chick.
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: Well. I saw a video of her where she was
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: taking advantage of her fifteen second money for dogs or
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: whatever it was she went to pet barn.
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: It was like, we've got all this food for stray dog.
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: That's what you should be, not making appearance as at
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: fucking music vessels do this shit.
• 51:55
  Speaker 3: Soidia, I like to think she can combine the two,
• 51:57
  Speaker 3: you know.
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: But not not one counting him about there, but appearing.
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: At the comedy festival or the or the country music
• 52:02
  Speaker 3: festival or whatever. I remember, still in the public eye.
• 52:05
  Speaker 3: Keep the thing going a little longer, a few more
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: straight dogs. I'm team hok twa.
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: So now we get to Crusty. Crusty's basically just the
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: whole bit of John Stewart was just unnecessary and unfunny.
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: I'm like, where are you going with this? Where are
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: you going, oh, you're going nowhere.
• 52:21
  Speaker 3: You're showing that Krusty is a hack, which is something
• 52:23
  Speaker 3: that we didn't know.
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: Who the thunk it. So that stide of the panel
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: introducing the panel for the debate, and we get Andrea
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: Andrea crowded from seeing then DeMont evansromslep dot com and
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: your paler on theahalf from the Washington Journalist indeed, and
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: Nelson with the whole your medium is dying, and then
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: Skinner says Nelson, what it is being right and being nice.
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking joke on a joke, on a joke, but
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: or not even a joke. Skinner wouldn't then have this
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: interaction with him with the whole there's being right and
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: those big nice No, that's enough, another one of those
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: gags that was just written. They wanted to take the
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: piss out of print media.
• 53:02
  Speaker 3: I guess, yeah, So I just have Nelson saying your
• 53:05
  Speaker 3: medium's arm and then have like a single tear come
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: from the Washington This guy all it needed, all you want,
• 53:09
  Speaker 3: because we Yeah, I think we were aware, aware in
• 53:12
  Speaker 3: two thousand and eight certainly that the times they were
• 53:14
  Speaker 3: a changing. Now.
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: The residents in for the focus group for the Republican candidate,
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: which is should we make governor former governor Vincent Aleppo
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: the new candidate. And they mentioned here that he has
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: a relationship with Ms Daffi.
• 53:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Now here's the thing. You've got some actual politicians
• 53:32
  Speaker 3: in there. I mean from what I understand, I don't
• 53:34
  Speaker 3: know if they got billed, and maybe some.
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: Of the politicians some are just parodies of politicians.
• 53:38
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, Fred Thompson a real politician. Dennis Kutchinich, Yeah,
• 53:42
  Speaker 3: he's real. I don't know whether he actually I don't
• 53:44
  Speaker 3: think he would have supplied his voice. You know, he
• 53:46
  Speaker 3: didn't know. I'm making jokes about it.
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: Look at that, here's one point seven meters. That's not
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: that short. No, one hundred and seventy centem is. I
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: mean it's it's short, but as notch.
• 53:55
  Speaker 3: It's like, yeah, he's not a hobbit.
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: No, was bizarre, Like what are we doing? I just
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: didn't know what are you doing? Yeah, I was in
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: the writer's room. They picture the jokes. What are you doing?
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: It's like when I made George Lucas really short, and
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: you're like, what's the joke here? Why? Why is he
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: is being short? Funny to use that is that the
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: joke that he's short.
• 54:19
  Speaker 3: That's okay cool. Someone on Twitter the other day made
• 54:22
  Speaker 3: a very good point. They saying, what the perfect job
• 54:25
  Speaker 3: for me would be to be at the celebrity side,
• 54:28
  Speaker 3: and when they're about to put something out, all they
• 54:30
  Speaker 3: float an idea I'm the person who goes. People are
• 54:33
  Speaker 3: going to take that the wrong way. And this was
• 54:36
  Speaker 3: this is about the time that Katy Perry's and new
• 54:37
  Speaker 3: saw the video came out.
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: I listened to the song. Apparently it hasn't done well.
• 54:42
  Speaker 3: I saw bits of the video and thought I had noticed.
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: In the last months. I was like, Katy Perry seems
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: to be just popping up here and there. She hadn't
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: been here and there for a while. What's going on here?
• 54:52
  Speaker 3: Oh? Single on the verge of a comeback and stopt
• 54:56
  Speaker 3: launching a comeback, which then.
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, apparently she responded to it, and it's never respond
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: to the bad feedback.
• 55:02
  Speaker 3: Don't know. I'll never say you don't get yeah, as
• 55:06
  Speaker 3: you're doing this is guys, Yeah, we know what satire
• 55:10
  Speaker 3: is and this ain't it that? Ain't it cheap to
• 55:13
  Speaker 3: use some very outdated slang that's probably about as relevant
• 55:17
  Speaker 3: as Katie Perry sorry, Katie. I mean, you've got a
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: couple of certified bangers and also some good songs.
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: You're going and guy will be replaced on next week's podcast.
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: Can we do it like a visual canceled I was
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: there and guys gone, all right, guys, So the rest of
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: the show is just going to be me here, sitting here.
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: But so basically, they got the they had the the
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: focus group, and I think they're just trying to say
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: here that Republican voters are idiots because they didn't know
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: what they wanted.
• 55:53
  Speaker 3: Voters in general, voters generally easily distracted by milkshakes, by milkshakes,
• 55:59
  Speaker 3: by special effects unclear or insincere messaging anything.
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: Yep. Then the side of the debate, Lisa is not
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: impressed for what the It's not the debate, sorry, it's
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: the Democratic Party trying to find a candidate, and Lisea
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: is not impressed with any of them. Then they're all
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: putting the various signs up around Springfield, and Clinton puts
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: up the Hillary sign and they never gonna let that go. Ah. Yeah,
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: that's yeah, it's just interesting. That's what was ten years
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: ten years later ish that they were trying to make
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: her the president and they thought she was going to
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: be the president.
• 56:30
  Speaker 3: And that didn't play.
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: That doc go on Netflix is well worth a watch.
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: I think I've told you if you watched one where
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: it's all about how they basically the documentary was about
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: how Hillary was about to become president, and as they're
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: filming it, they realized, oh shit, this documentary is actually
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: about how Trump's going to be a president. Oh boy.
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: Like on the night, it was like they didn't realize
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: they still thought that she was going to win. And
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: you didn't see the people everybody did. Do you see
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: people watching the poles going oh fuck, it's happening going
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: back now.
• 57:02
  Speaker 3: I don't think even Trump thought he was gonna win.
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: I think he probably he yeah, maybe he didn't think
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: he part of him to his there's a chance.
• 57:11
  Speaker 3: To his credit. I've never thought i'd say to his
• 57:13
  Speaker 3: credit about Donald Trump, but once it was apparent that
• 57:16
  Speaker 3: he was actually going to be in the White House.
• 57:18
  Speaker 3: Because honestly, I may be completely wrong here, but I
• 57:20
  Speaker 3: viewed his initial campaign back for the twenty six as
• 57:24
  Speaker 3: a p s done as a marketing exercise, just to
• 57:26
  Speaker 3: keep building his brand.
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: The Apprentice new season coming in next June, pretty much.
• 57:31
  Speaker 3: But yeah, once he realizes, oh, I can take advantage
• 57:33
  Speaker 3: of this, and now he's got a real taste for
• 57:35
  Speaker 3: it and he just wants it more and more.
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So the Simpsons are now undecided to sign at
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: their house, so they all just clam it to their house.
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: Everyone arrives, they're panted try and win the votes. They
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: kicked them out, including friend Thompson, your man from die
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: Hard Too.
• 57:50
  Speaker 3: And he was an hunt for of October and many things.
• 57:52
  Speaker 3: It was on Laura and Order for a while, I believe.
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: So the guy's now all ranting at most, so I
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: won't have them ragging on Diehard Too, which is not
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: die Hard, but few movies are. But Diehard two is
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: not bad. Yeah, it's kind of like for me, I say,
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: die Hard Too. It's kind of a Jaws Too, where
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: it's not the first one, nothing will ever be the
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: first one, but it's not terrible, correct, But Jaws two
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: is an acceptable Jaws movie in my opinion.
• 58:13
  Speaker 3: Damn there, my friend. Yes, may I take this opportunity
• 58:16
  Speaker 3: to promote a project on the side, something that you're
• 58:20
  Speaker 3: not involved in, but that I have done. All right,
• 58:24
  Speaker 3: you've heard the name Charlie Lawson mentioned on this podcast
• 58:27
  Speaker 3: every once in a while, let's get on the podcast.
• 58:28
  Speaker 3: He's been on the podcast. We talked about The Last
• 58:30
  Speaker 3: Temptation at Home. He and I recently did a four
• 58:34
  Speaker 3: part podcast series called Silver's Streak, where we talked about
• 58:38
  Speaker 3: run of films by producer Joel Silver. Die hard To
• 58:40
  Speaker 3: is one of them.
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 58:41
  Speaker 3: Speaking to myself, I think it's pretty good listening. You
• 58:43
  Speaker 3: might want to go check it out. Do some googling.
• 58:45
  Speaker 3: You'll be able to.
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: Find I'll put the link in the description of this.
• 58:48
  Speaker 3: That's very generous of you. I appreciate it.
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: I wish Charlie would do the same for us. Doesn't
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: he do that? I don't know, but I've just assumed
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: his producer didn't know.
• 58:56
  Speaker 3: You don't listen to the podcast that I do.
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: They have a tag us on social media or anything, so
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: assumed that we won't getting mentioned.
• 59:02
  Speaker 3: Well, no, Well, at the end of our episode, I'm like,
• 59:05
  Speaker 3: check out four Finger discoun where we talk about the Simpsons, Signfeld,
• 59:07
  Speaker 3: South Park, except for etcetera. Mentioned your name a.
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: Lot, Charlie great Man, Now, what is the one you're
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: recording today to reveal it?
• 59:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: We are?
• 59:17
  Speaker 3: Why not just do it because because I don't know,
• 59:21
  Speaker 3: I haven't done a rehach yet. No, we're talking to
• 59:24
  Speaker 3: a gentleman who is responsible. Is got a company that
• 59:27
  Speaker 3: puts together film trailers. So we're going to be talking
• 59:30
  Speaker 3: about the evolution of film trailers over the years. Good examples,
• 59:33
  Speaker 3: there are bad examples thereof are they using too many
• 59:36
  Speaker 3: slow down versions or children choir versions of classic rock tunes?
• 59:40
  Speaker 3: Are uh, you know on the Thing in the Way
• 59:47
  Speaker 3: that was actually pretty good and well that also that
• 59:51
  Speaker 3: was the original Vana version. Yeah, but we're going to
• 59:55
  Speaker 3: be talking about that.
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: Yes, I feel like every trailer tries to be in exception. Now, yeah,
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: you're probably right, but Inception did a really good trailer.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: They did a good trailer. But then the problem is
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: that it's like not every movie's Inception. They fit the
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: movie like Garfield, the movie shouldn't be slowed down with
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: the slow kids song.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 3: And don't it should Yeah, and it shouldn't have you know,
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 3: like this slow doom care version of You of the Cat.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: I feel like every trailer, now, if they could would
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: just have what's that Kanye song has to always done
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: something wrong or whatever? You know that as a piano song.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 3: That I could sing more of it because I found
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 3: that really entertaining.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know the words are. It's like you're putting
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: up with my ship for way too long.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 3: You know that song?
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know that song starts with the ding, it's
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: just a piano.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 3: I don't know it.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna play to you after the show.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 3: That'd be great.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: You definitely know the song.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 3: I know it, but I don't know if you know.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: It would be perfect for all these modern trailers. Speaking
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: on trailers, I saw the moother trailer for what's the
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: one with your Man?
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 3: The Trap?
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: The Trap? Yeah, I'm pumped that movie you're in. Yeah
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: looks good? Does it does?
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: I wish they didn't spoil that one thing, but I'm
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: still pumped for it.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: I'm guessing then that's not the twist. Yeah, they may
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: not even be a twist. It might just be suspense
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: all the way through. But yes, looking forward, I'm glad
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: I never saw my Josh hartnet Stock.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 3: He's my man like that.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: You've gone on about him forever, You've never given up. Ok,
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: a big crush. So the guys are all rounding out
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: MOS sick of all the news reporters being there and
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: who wants to abolish democracy. So Homer suggests that they
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: have a ridiculous candidate, and they suggest that the guy
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: Dennis Kutish Kucinich. So Kucinich, I've got here one point
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: set me. Don't know why they made him so short.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: Wigham that suggests himself. No, but you're close, and to
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: news report saying it. Ralph Wigham is now the candidate,
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: with fifty three percent of likely voters agreeing that he
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: should be the candidate. And look, look what I did
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: made the TV thing happen.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 3: Let's scale this right down. I think there's like a
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 3: halfway decent idea in here. I think the people of
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 3: Springfield realize they're being bombarded and overwhelmed and also maybe
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 3: being regarded as SAPs by the mainstream media and decided
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 3: to play them at their own game. It's like, yeah,
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 3: they're constantly being you know, they're in their privacy is
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 3: being invaded, They're being painted as rubes or something like that.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: Why does it Why does it matter? Why does Lisa
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: care so much? Because it's not like he's going to
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: be president or anything, so why does it matter? What?
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 3: I think she just takes Umbridge it like, yeah, she's
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 3: got a very idealized version of American.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: Politics and democracy in general. Because and she's upset because
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: the spring Springfield as a city can't nominate the state's candidate.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: They're just one town.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 3: That's yeah, they sort of painted themselves into a corner
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 3: by being Springfield.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: Where yeah, that's true. Gelong can't decide who the Victorian
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: representative is.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 3: It's although it should be Richard Marles because also like
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 3: he's the Josh Harten and of politics. As far as
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 3: I can say, that guy's dreaming. But I thought there
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 3: was a halfway decent idea of the people of Springfield,
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 3: like flipping, throw it down, flip and reverse it, play them,
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 3: play the media and the politicians at their own games.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: Like they'd explain that for you.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well yeah they didn't, But I thought, I thought
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 3: that's not a bad way to go about it. So
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 3: you're going to treat this like clowns, or you're going
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 3: to treat politics like a circus or a game. We're
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 3: going to do exactly the same. We're going to we're
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 3: gonna bit about their own game. Yeah, yeah, we're going
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 3: to make an eight year old dumber.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: They think they think. But then we're not answer them.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: They think we're stupid. We'll be about their own.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 3: Game, only only for it to become oh god, it
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 3: actually is a circus and they will vote for this kid.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: And it would have been better this when they know
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: how they love their lists. This could be one of
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: those moments where you go, we need someone who's therest
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: ridiculous candidate ever and then no more ridiculous, see captain,
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: even more ridiculous, clear us keep going, Chief Wigham nearly
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: there close and that that could have been like whatever,
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: Now it's time for the head butt with Nash Karta
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: from Washington for the States. Car was from Washington, I believe,
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: so yeah, and so basically he introduces, But first of all,
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: he says, twodays ago this bed Weather made a splash
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: as Springfield Primary, and I thought it was quite funny.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: Then he's so Andrea Andrew Attica. Val Johnson is a take.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 3: On an Arian Huffington. I believe he's a bit of
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 3: a political pundit, a media baron.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: And she seems to like Ralph. And then we get
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: a parody of another guy who wears the glasses, Edward R. Murrow.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 3: Well, they mentioned Murrow at some state. Well, does that
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 3: mean to be a remark because Morow is long dead
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 3: by this stage. I think Dan rather when he's in
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 3: then I'm looking at.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: The wrong part, looking at the wrong part. Yeah, maybe
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: that was on I don't know. Here you go, George Will,
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: George Will.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 3: Okay, that name's familiar. I don't know if he's still
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 3: with us, but yeah, the whole massive political commentators out there.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: But he says, we need to find out whether he's
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: a Democrat or Republican, whether we're in a tuxa or
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: a tuxedo a tux ye listener thinks it's an absolute disaster.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: And then Marge is not really concerned at all. She
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: looks at the newspaper and says, I'm my god, Springfield
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: Dodge has too much inventory, Like she's Marge's an idiot.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 3: I guess I get the feeling. Marge is trying to
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 3: check out of the of the whole political thing.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: So it's not Marge doesn'tunderstand. She's just doesn't want She's
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: just overwhelmed.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 3: By it and just wants some like me. Yeah, I've
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 3: been God, there's too much political content. I just want
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 3: to watch Nadi Fiance the UK version.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: Preference if you make.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 3: Because there's a saying I forgot the exact title or
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 3: position that you've heard of Steve Bannon. You know that guy. Yeah,
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 3: he talked about that notion of flooding the zone with shit,
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 3: which is a political strategy that's I think a toilet. Yeah, well,
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 3: I think it's been around a lot, but Putin certainly
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 3: used it, and now they're using American politics where you
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 3: just flood the media with so much information, a lot
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 3: of it conflicting, and some of it coming from like
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 3: one source. It's like one source will throw contradictory information
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 3: just to get people confused. And then when you've got
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 3: someone coming through like trumple say I'll do this. Oh wow,
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 3: he's talent like it is, and he's speaking to me
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 3: because I'm confused. But this guy's providing a solution. He's
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 3: not trying to baffle me with facts and figures and
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 3: hyper loot and stuff. He's just gonna down. I'll take
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 3: that guy.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: He always does this.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 3: Well, but you're right exactly, Well, that's my political When
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 3: I run for office, it'll be like I'm guy Davis. Wow,
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 3: seems like a political strong man. Vote one guy.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: But Ma says he's just going to have faith in
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: the wisdom of the average voter. They all walk in
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: saying I did the wig. I did the wig. Lisa
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: says he can't be president because a he's too stupid.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: I thought that was not very nice, but that's true.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: And being president you have to be at least thirty five. Bhamed,
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: I say, here, being president's easy. You just gotta point
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: the army and shoot. But he says, she's not about
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: She says you have to be thirty five. And they
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: goussie the Patriot Act. And if this felt like I did,
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: I didn't understand it. I'm not gonna lie, but it
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: felt like their way of just trying to write themselves
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: out of a hole.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and also sort of not being on the right
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 3: side of history. But I think for a while around
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 3: this period it was like, oh, if we mentioned the
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 3: patriotarcht that's kind of shows Oh we're against it. Oh
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 3: they've introduced the Patriarch, Shame on them. That's what it
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 3: felt like. It felt like a bunch of a collection
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 3: of buzzwords.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: And then this next bit of the Republican meeting, we
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: got cat Chocular Birch, Barlow so it's agreed we cancel
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: the rest of the primarias and offer the GOP nomination
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: to this Niehei want wit.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 4: Myra is already gushing for this Wigham credit.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: Do you have bats in your bell? Free? They don't
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: even let him use big boy scissors. Sure he's a
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: little green, but uh, you know, sure was George Jobbedia
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: Borsh and look how great the he but at least
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: he won the second name.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: Assumingly he don't find those ballot boxes and allho.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 3: This is all very inside baseball.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: It's way too inside baseball for the Simpsons. This this
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: is so dated, all this stuff, but now at Traded
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: Earth's organic market. This here was a shit show, absolutely
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: so the scienceist cellar by close enough Democratic Party meeting.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 3: Where you've got Hank sort of recycling his voice for
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 3: a birdcage.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: But also, yeah, he's like the Springfield's gay character now
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: and he's already got his assless sparkle tucks clean for
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: the inauguration.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and he's also a play on the Areana Huffington
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 3: characters Mike Huffington.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because he came out as gay. Their marriage ended
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: and he came out as gay, so it's like I
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: don't know satire, but as I read a review of
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: this and the person pointed out, this is your gay
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: representation now, viewers on the Simpsons. This guy, this is who.
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 3: Is representing you.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: It's like, what a downfall from homophobia.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we had a nice round with John Waters there
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 3: for a second.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this this, this is this is what they really
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: This is what the Simpsons ris and really think of you.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: I know it's all stereotypes, but I don't know, it
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: felt like they were sort of getting back some sort
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: of I don't know quality with the Remember when she
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: was Patty and someone. When Patty got married, She's like,
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: hell no, I like girls. And it's like, okay, she's
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: of being gay. This guy here's just you stir it.
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 3: Let's just move on and look, stereotypes certainly exists. There
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 3: are probably many many Julios out there.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: You know. Sometimes I think you've gotta provide a bit
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: of a counterbalance. So they say, with rough on the ticket,
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: not sure how we'll block, but we will. That's what
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: the Democratic Democratic Party is all about. So this whole
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: episode is about shitting on everybody. I guess it really is.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 3: And look, we've had a previous episode where you know,
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 3: the elephant sort of charges through both like, yeah, we're evil,
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 3: the Republicans are Evil's.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: Like, we can't go that's averone. That's all you needed. Yeah,
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: that was like what a five second gag? Yep. And
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: now the American politicans in a way that this episode
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: simply does not brockmanand does the news report from Wigham
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: compound and he's the most charismatic Charles and Drew Barramore.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: A fire startered when she got mad. They got burned.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: So they say which party you got to go for?
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: And he says, I thought that was not a bad
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: line though, where Chief Wigham's saying there's two parties. You
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: can go to one's guard an elephant, one's going to
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: dunk it. These are the symbols, yes, both parties. He
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: chooses Almo and his shoes. Yes, and they think that
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: he means Republican. And Wigan will have all all.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 3: That part about name checking, Oh you mean almost such,
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 3: and that's like, oh yeah, someone's got access to Wikipedia.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: Fuck you, yes, fuck you. No one knows who you're
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: talking about. So Wigan, will you go for a debates
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: to go? We're gonna sort this out down in the
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: library or whatever. Then Barlow and Johnson sneak into Wigham's
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: house and Ralph then randomly out of nowhere, decides, oh,
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: wait a minute, I'm not an idiot anymore. I'm actually smart.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: I'm going to use them to make America great again,
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: and only the only Boom members will be in in
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: our pants. And Liz is like, I like the idea
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: of that. He's like, you'll be my first lady. Yeah,
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: let's do it, Ralph. And then we get the commercial
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: for Ralph and his campaign and Lenny saying, oh, oh
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: like Ralph, and Clinton says I'm going to vote for
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: Ralph as well, don't tell you know who, and there's
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: a footage of him sitting on the Lincoln statue on
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: sitting on Lincoln's lap, I want this, I want that
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: and a brighter future for America, and it's pick a
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: winner as he's picking his nose.
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 3: I think the way to wrap this up would have been,
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 3: you have that episode where it's like they were rescued
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 3: by let's say mo Okay, I don't know if Rosco
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 3: Lee Brown is alive the Lovely Sting touring time of
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 3: that actor, but get him back to say or someone
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 3: like that to say, Ralph Williams campaign turned out to be,
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 3: you know, a watershed moment in American politics. His you know,
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 3: fresh glance is fresh take on uniting America actually brought
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 3: the country together. Then someone realized he was eight years old,
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 3: and we had to Lisa told you yeah, and then
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 3: had with let's go what did I tell you? The end?
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: You know what shits me is the fact that she
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: is the one that pointed out he can't actually go
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: for the candidate's candidcy, right, But then at the end
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: she's like, I'll be your first lady. So what Yeah,
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: I guess you're speaking symbolically, Lisa. Maybe who can tell?
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: Who knows? I just assumed when it ended, I thought, okay,
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: well we're going to get something wrap up during the credits.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 1: Nothing nothing, nothing.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 3: What do we learn, Bomber? What'd you learn from this episode?
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 3: Dand it? I?
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: What did I learn from this episode? That you'd probably
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: look pretty good in some assless sparkle tucks?
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 3: You're just learning this now?
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I think I'm your safe word, but I've already
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: forgotten it. Always your safe word, Palamina, Palomina, I feel
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: you know what it is. Viewers and listeners. I feel
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: like that actually is a safe wood of yours because
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: you came up pretty fucking quikly hot out the game.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 3: Uh what did I learn this episode that I don't
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 3: really My knowledge of American politics and the American political
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 3: process is sketchyr best.
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: You can't let it from Twitter, then I don't know
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: about it.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 3: But it's still better than that of the Simpsons Writer's Room.

• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: ours on Patreon. We get access to the exclusive Discord
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: Facebook community, one hundred hours of batus content, and so
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: much more. But yes, this is has been our review
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: of e Pluribus Wigham. I feel like it can only
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: be up from here. You know what it is. It's
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: the contrast of last week's eternal moonshine of the Simpson
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: Mind compared to this. I mean that episode last week
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: wasn't like a barn, but it was not the agressive
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: set of all time. But compared to this ship show, Yeah,
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: day and night.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it really.
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: It just shows how can to be such a difference
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: in quality week to week. Now it's the inconsistency. You
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: go back to the classic Simpsons, you didn't the bad
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: episodes were still good. The bad episodes now are real bad. Indeed,
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: it's it's like Simpsons season nineteen is the Tom Hawkins
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: of animated show. I feel like wats been pretty good.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: He's retired now, but back in the day though he
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: was very consistent.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 3: That's true.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: One of those players wasn't. It's one of those players
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: where if he missed his first show to go, you're like, oh,
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: well he's fucked for the day.
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: It's true he had to keep the first one, but
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: you know, next episode, Oh okay, I've been looking forward
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: to get into this one and I haven't revisited it.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: Oh this is when it comes to most hated Simpsons
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: episodes of all time. This is top three. Wow with viewers,
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: right with fans. It's called that ninety show, right, written
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: by our man Matt Salmon, who defends it like no other.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: I feel like I'm going to message Matt today right now.
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: See even getting one to do the review with this, Oh, okay,
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: then you're going to probably hate it. I remember liking
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: it when I first watched it. I have not revisited
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: it deliberately, so I wanted to go in with a
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: season nineteen mindset. I want to I don't want to
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: be comparing it to like a I don't want to
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: watch a classic episode and then watch that and go, oh,
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: it's not as good as the other one. We've just
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: had an absolute shit show, so I feel like it
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: can't be possibly as bad as this. But basically, in
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: that ninety show, it's retconning Homer and Marge as if
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: they were in university in the nineties. Right, But Matt
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: someone always says it's not canon, like, it's just it
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: lives in its own vacuum.
• 1:15:49
