• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Welcome to fourthing, a discount where this week we're here
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: to review a somewhat controversial episode of The Simpsons. To me, though,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: feels like it came about four or five years too late.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: It is my Pods and Boomsticks. I'm Dwando and I'm Guy. Yes,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: welcome to the podcast where we think differently.
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: Yes, it felt like a real time capsule this episode.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: But also, I don't know, startlingly relevant.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Weird because I'm watching this going okay because this is
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: back when and this kind of stuff is still relevant today.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's not right with the racism towards
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: the Muslim community and whatnot, but it just feels like
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: it was really heated post nine to eleven. She's two
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: thousand and one, two thousand and three, fourths when it
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: really felt like it was just all eyes on and
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: everyone was being scrutinized, and it was just everywhere right
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: throughout the community for obvious reasons. I'm not saying as
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: right or wrong, but that's what happened. Right this came
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: out in two thousand and eight. To this episode, I
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: feel like The Simpsons are really known for I know
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: it takes so long to make an episode, but it
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: feels like they really they don't cash in much like
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: because we do South Park right, and they cash in
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: because of the way they make the show The Simpsons
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: always feels like they're eighteen months past the mark. They
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: did an episode of in the new season where they
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: were talking about I actually it was Futurama. If Trum
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: is a similar sort of time schedule, Yeah, making an
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: episode without talking about NFTs. NFTs were dead by the
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: time this episode came out. They went and everyone's going, Ah,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: this would have been relevant eighteen months ago when you
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: were writing it, But now when it's released, this feels
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: really dated. Now. I don't know whether this would have
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: felt data because as I said, it's still prominent in
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: the community, but it just feels like if they had
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: a cash in two or three years earlier, this would
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: have really been a not a classic episode. But I
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: really talked about one.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: Look, there's stuff that evergreen topics unfortunately, racism, prejudice, and
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: power Annoyer topics that never really go out of fashion,
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: sad to say, But at the same time, this feels
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: like it's trying to tackle it in a very relevant
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: and very of the moment kind of way.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: The moment was four years ago.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, as you said, there's a lot of prep work,
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: there's a lot of you know, there's devising stories, there's
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: writing scripts, there's the animation.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: The animation.
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, of course it's going to take a while, but
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: it's that's usually around eighteen months or so according to you.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's nine months to make it, but we're
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: going to write it as well, be four.
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: Or five years off the pace. Yeah, yeah, I mean
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: you'd be looking at it. As I said, this felt
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: like a time capsule. Wuld have felt like a time
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: capsule back in two thousand and eight.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Maybe it was one of those ones where they thought
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: they were sitting on it for a while, do we
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: do we not? And they finally pulled the trigger, but
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: you don't. Don't do it? Then, don't pull the trigger
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: this late because watching it in retrospect, I'm not gonna lie. Well,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: NiCl I'm watching it and bet with Nicola, right, and
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Nicholas sort of just listening to it but not really
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: watching it, and she's just going, is the point of
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: this meant to be that it's just ridiculously offensive or
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: that is being offensive? No? No, no, that's the joke here,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: and she goes, okay, good, because you can't say any
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: of this stuff anymore. You can say any of this
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: stuff then.
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: No, I mean it feels very I think they're covering
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: their ass by making Homer the dumbest person.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: That annoyed me first and foremost because I went, you're
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: just you're making home of the most obnoxious racist jerk
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: in the world, right, But it's also he's just oblivious,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: and I get why they had to use Homer because
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: he is the show and by this point, by this point,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: he's a joke anyway, That's what I mean.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: Homer is, of course, as I didn't mean just the
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: dumbest person on the planet for this episode. I mean
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: generally he's kind of like this guy's not bright but
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: also just easily led.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: I think is more where what this episode is to Yeah,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: which I think is important that he didn't originally think
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: this way until his friends convinced him to think that way,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: that the idiots from the bar they made him go, oh,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: you're right, because he wasn't not in any way bothered
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: by Bashir and he liked Bishia.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, I found it a little odd and maybe a
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: little off putting. There need to be another link in
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: the chain in what sense, Well, Homer gets converted by
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: Lenny and Karl at the bar. I get the thing
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: I would have liked to have seen Lenni and Carl
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: be converted by something like mass media.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Or what they do that's they do it in that scene.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Are they in that scene? I mean, Lenny and Karl
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: are But Homer says, I need to see something from
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: a fictional TV show that's going to improve your theories
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: twenty four.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: It just feels I could draw my own conclusions. I
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: could sort of make the mental lead that, oh, okay,
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: Lenny and Carl have probably been.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Watching their version of twenty four or just plan on
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: twenty four, so you need it, or an immiganst kind
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: of scene. You mean, yeah, yeah, I needed.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: Like Fox News on in Most Heaven, and you maybe
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: needed to sort of going on and on. So there's
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: just this constant hum of propaganda and everyone sort of
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: gets infected by it and picks up on.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: It and they pass it on to bamble. It's like
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: a virus. It goes viral because kids watching this probably
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: wouldn't get why they're thinking this way, because obviously, in
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: the community in America predominantly many people were thought and
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: were Lenny and Carl esque in the real world right
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: the way that their their thought process. Kids, though, don't
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: think that way unless they're told to think that. If
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: you're just, if you're just a normal keep watching the show,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: you go, why were he and Carl jerks all of
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: a sudden, why they think this way? You're right, So
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: they need to sort of set up why they're thinking
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: this way because they're easily swayed by the media, or if.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: You're going to have you Lenny and Carl being prejudiced
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: from the jump, I've not explored that a little bit more,
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: a little bit further down the line, or have them
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: explained why that's the case.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Or maybe you could have had because they didn't touch
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: on the fact that the Muslim family don't what's their
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: last name, it's been Ladin, don't drink alcohole. So maybe
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: that could have been a reason for Lenny and Carl
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: to go, can't trust this guy and then sort of
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: just spirals from there. Maybe I don't.
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: Know, true, Yeah, I mean, I think you maybe need
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: to also addressed the real resurgency. We just talked about
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: this on an episode of Going Down to South Park
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: where it's you know, I'm a little bit country, I'm
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: a little bit rock and roll, and if you don't
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: like Murray.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: You can get out.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean South Park is not well. Sometimes South
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: Park is not very subtle at all. Sometimes that lack
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: of suddenly actually works really well. And there was a
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: whole lot of feeling in the States and the Western
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: world of like, you don't like democracy, well you can
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: just get out.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: So just like that very much.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: It was really weird in Australia when you know, John
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: Howard and Kevin Rudd were doing it.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: But it just struck me as a little bit. It's
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: not that you had to be there, a lot of
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: people were there, but.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: A little more, a little more context might have been
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: needed in the in the framework of telling this entire story,
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: as opposed to just well, this is the way we're
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: thinking now. In eight to whatever, two thousand and eight,
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: or even just in the the early two thousand through
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: to this period, there was this feeling of paranoid and
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: prejudice in the air, and whilst we need a little context,
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: it still does so needed to add some context. It
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: still does exist, obviously still does exist.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Right, it's never going out of stuff, It's never going
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: to go out. But I do feel like the inclusiveness
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: is much more prominent now where kids are now taught
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: to be inclusive everybody and it's normal. It's been more
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: normalized too, Like in Australia it was always you know,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: the Indigenous community, they weren't respected in the way they
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: should have been. Kids. Now you know, welcome to country,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: that kind of thing. It's just become normalized, which is great. Sure,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: so watched kids watching this episode, though Aliot would watch
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: this and go, why is everyone so mean? Because he's
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: just not used to he didn't live through that era.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but at the same time, you know, I fairly
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: it's watching the news right now. Yeah, you're going to
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: be seeing Okay, why are people you spraying anti Semitic
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: signals on synagogues or Jewish schools or Jewish community centers
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: or whatever, because.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: There's always a target. Because there's always a target.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, as they've always say, you know, you want to
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: if you're a politician, you want to get people on
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: his eye. You do give someone to be people to hate,
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: or someone to be scared of.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to lie. I actually thought they did
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: a pretty decent job of this. If you're going to
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: do this theme, regardless of being late, and I actually
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: thought that they handled it quite well. Home was a
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: bit over the top, but I think that's what's needed
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: in a comedy.
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: Well, religious and hatred are kind of over the top.
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: These are not passive emotions. No, no, they're not rational
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: at all.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: You tend to you tend to go big or go home. Yeah. Yeah.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: And I didn't really like the end because it's just
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: I didn't mind the slapstick of Homer listening in the
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: window and him not hearing certa passive conversation. That's just
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: just that's classics. But then for him to go to
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: the mall and run in and blow I thought this
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: is just a bit silly. It's just it's a bit
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: over the top that he's able to just grab this
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: dynamite and run off with something. Ah, it's all a
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: bit much. I like the bones of it. I like
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: the idea.
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: It's like Homer misunderstands to such a degree that, yeah,
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: he thinks he's being a hero, thinks he's saying that,
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: he thinks he's Jack Bauer by. Oh, you're trying to
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: blow up a Springfield monument of Springfield Land like a maul.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, they give her cookie samples whatever it was. Oh, yeah,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: that's true.
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: Great brief side track, Lou was talking about how she
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: and some of her friends were just talking about Malls
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: unprompted the other day and.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Just like, oh god, we loved Mauls. That was so
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: great when you could actually go and hang out there
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: and shops were open, and we're just like, oh, were
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: those people who are just nostalgic for the for the bland,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: sterile shopping experience, But you know, we were just consumerous
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: longing for nineties consumerism and commercialist. Do you know what
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: I think would have been a cool job in the nineties,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: And it sounds ridiculous, but being the guy that created
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: a playlist for Mauls, because you're going to set the mood.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: All right, it's Saturday. What do people want to hear
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: on a Saturday at two o'clock. Well, we talk about
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: you know, the cold just up the street without our
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: friend Pale Guy. I saw him yesterday. You go to Cols,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: you'll see him. Yeah, I almost said hello to him.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: He doesn't know you.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: We constantly have to keep ourselves in check when when
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: when we go to that particular coals because he has
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: there's Pale Guy, who's great mask guy who we don't trust.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen him for a while, but Pale Guy
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: was greenny people at the door. I'm like, of course he,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: of course he's green people at all. That guy.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: I'm betting he listens to like, you know, Scott Galloway
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: or some grind set mentor who is kind of like
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: you know, there's dignity in all labor, and if you
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: take your job seriously, you can work out the ladder.
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: You know, nothing wrong with being.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: The manager at the produce section at the Coals on
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Shannon Avenue.
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: Is it perfectly a good job? He's like, yeah, you're right.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: You know, I'm never going to be fortune five hundred
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: buck you ma'am, and I'm going to run this coals
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: like a well ol machine for pale Guy. Yeah, but yeah,
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: something they had playing there. You know generally you think
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: at a supermarket or a store it's music.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Well, it used to be new Zak. You're aware term musak.
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: Yes, some some of our listeners may not, but it
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: was it just bland, sort of auto tuned remixes of
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: actual songs. And they have to pay royalties.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: It was royalty free pop songs.
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: Correct, Yes, And now Cole's has what Cole's radio, which
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: is actual songs, and they've got some semi familiar voice saying, hey,
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: welcome to Cole's Radio. And while you're an L four
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: check out, we've got special Impasta and now he's the
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: captain of Tanil or something that they wish start playing
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: something as cool asil. Why are we talking about this
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: because he had more music.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: That'd be great, that'd be a pretty sweet gig.
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: As I'm always low, as I always like to say,
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: we used to make things in this country.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: We did, indeed, But you mentioned twenty four before. Now
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: the guest star of this episode, who plays the wife Mina,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna try and pronoun her name, shashloum. Okay, yes,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: so she was I only watched the first season of
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: twenty four. She wasn't in the first season.
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: No, No, she was in a few like in because
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: twenty four, a few seasons six He was like, yeah,
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: maybe like three to six or something like that.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: But an Iranian Iranian actor or Iranian American, shall we say,
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: because I think she was born in Iran and immigrated
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: to America maybe in the late seventies or early eighties
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: or something.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: It's okay, we claim Russell Crowe.
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: Correct, Yeah, so not anymore. Yeah, but Russell Coe actually
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: actually a ki We.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: But did we claim mel Gibson for a while? Oh yeah,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: but he's not. We don't really do it anymore. But
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: he is not. But he's not. Where's he from? Well,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: he was born in America, but he wasn't raised a show,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: was he? I think for the most part. Yeah, I've
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: forgotten when his family actually immigrated here. But so much
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: abat thinking what possessed mel Gibson to come to Australia
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: from America and make this fucking whack movie.
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: I don't realize he lived here. Yeah, no, I think
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: the I think he probably came. He might have been
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: either a child or a young teenager. Okay, because you
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: know he attended night of the main drama school here
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: in Australia. I think it was like roommates with Jeffrey
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: Rush as well, talk about a couple of canceled.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Dudes under the one roof job as.
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: First of all, that woman's got a voice like but yeah,
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: but she's Yeah, she's a really really good actor.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: She's been a bunch of stuff.
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: I think she was Oscar nominated for really yeah, a
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: movie called House of Sand and Fog.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Okay, I've never seen that film, but yeah, doing a
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: guy's girlfriend Jennifer Conley, Okay, she is your girlfriend. Do
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: you have any favorite moments from the episode. I did
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: have one or two.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: I like that the bullies, Yeah, they don't really care
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: about They just want to beat up on anyone who's
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: not them.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: This was a better use of the boys that we've
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: had in a long time, I think, because lately, really
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: it feels like they've got no idea what to do
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: with them anymore. This that was used right, just making bullies. Yeah,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: and the little bullies just want a bully. They don't
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: need it just for cash. They don't need a reason.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: I don't want to bully you.
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: But it's great because they he says his name, But
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: it's like Bashir, I like a kid that comes with instructions.
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: That's actually pretty good luck. Yeah, that's a very funny
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: line when Bashir comes to the Simpson household, bills is
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: looking good.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, your skin.
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: Color's got contacts, skin colors looking good?
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: You catch phase. I think maybe it was a very
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: throwaway line, but it was.
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: It just really was emblematic of all the like twenty
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: four born identity, all this kind of stuff. It's on
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: the computer at the at the bin laden household chess
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: presses on terms of I mean, because I think I've
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: done that plenty of times. When it's like a bonet, Yeah,
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: I'm on the Google. I mean you're typing away best
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: risotto recipe. Well, you know you've got like the two
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: keyboards going like Hugh Jackman's Swordfish Yeah, a date.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: I love the fact that he was typing away doing
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: all his clicking and stuff and he just clicked one
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: of the things on the desktop. Anyway, It's like how
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: many times you watch a movie and they're fucking doing
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: all this and it's like, that's not doing anything.
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, hacking is the least cinematic, least compelling.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Yes, kind of. You have to, you have to really
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: ramp it up. It's likely to make lies.
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: It's just you know, it's that guy from the Simpsons
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: who the I'm sorry, it's that guy from south Park,
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: the gamer that you know, Yeah, the really sort of
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: sloven with a risk. All do you respect a coder's
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: out there? You're doing better than me, Well, well you're.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Used to it. I took your job. Bad luck. Nerd.
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: Sorry, yeah, I imagine they take unbridge at that. But yeah, coding,
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: I think is just a lot of I'm at the
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: keyboard and I'm just entering lines, lines, lines on it.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: It's not I love it when you're watching a sitcom
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: and people just they so many actors don't know how
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: to act driving they're doing this, Oh yeah, who does that?
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: When you're driving? Hold hold a step ten and two.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: I just fucking hold it slightly askew. Sometimes they're doing
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: this and it can't just driving straight? Are you aiming
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: to hit wild animals? Yeah? What is going running? Trying
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: to run over that cat? What's wrong with you? I
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: really liked one of my favorite moments. I liked the
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: dinner scene. Right. It was all just really well structured,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: well book together. So Bart says, don't judge them by
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: their religion, blah blah blah. And then he says to Bart,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: don't you disrespect your father by something in front of
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: me or whatever. Then grandfather says, I love the way
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: you Italians think. But then Homer as a further gag
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: where he says, shut up, old man. It's like Homer
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: is he tells Bart stop disrespecting Homer for being disrespect
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: blah blahlah. Then home it's disrespected for his father. It
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: was just like bang bang, punch on, punch on, punch on.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: I thought it was really well put together, that scene.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: And I always love a good Homer trying to be
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: quiet and just making a ship like a noise, but
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: just the box of symbols, because why not. I I
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: went to Zing pop culture no sponsors, so I saw
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: a GiMA shout out because I always cash you when
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: they do their clearance is because a good way to
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: run a pop culture store is when shit's not selling
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: or you've got two ouch of stuff, put it on
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: clearance and people will buy that ship. That's good. And
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: that's what I did. And I went in there and
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: I saw PJ sets down there. There's these PJ sets
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: down there. I should get one up with. He's not lying,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: they're actually there. So this one here I hold up
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: to the camera is one of cinnamon butters. I've got
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: this for Nickeola, right, fifty nine dollars brand new, all
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: PJ sets, nine dollars, it's excuse me, and fifty nine
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: and I literally just crossed fifty of it. And I
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: looked at it, and I went, m that's not right.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: At must be like select select pj's And I said,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: just checking, Like those Simpsons ones aren't nine dollar are they.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: She goes, yeah, I'm pretty sure anything on that rex
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: nine dollars. And I was like, Brendan, don't see anything.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Just quietly put all the pjs on the counter. You
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: did Homer at the film Persient, I'll take ten. So
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: I grabbed the Simpsons one. I was like, one was
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: sixty nine, one was fifty nine, and one was forty nine.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: I'm like, go, one hundred and eighty bucks worth the
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: PJS for twenty seven dollars. That's pretty good. It was
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: pretty good, right, How could you not do if you
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: if you saw a PJ set that you liked or
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: we're the Country Road, right, and there was a shirt
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: that was normally eight dollars and I had it for
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: nine dollars and you're like this one. She's like, yeah,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: You're like, even if I don't want it, I have
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: to buy it. It's nine dollars. There have been occasions
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: and that has been the case.
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: I've been on the clearance side or whatever, and it's like, Okay,
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: I'm in the market for a black Henley top.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: Ah, this is the waffle version. It's not quite it's
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: a little thicker than I want. One the pancake version.
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: I wanted that, Yeah, that's correct, one of the meeple
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: syrup version. It was like, this isn't quite what I wanted,
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: but it was a dollars and now it's twenty five dollars.
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: It's like, okay, I'll take the hits because it's not
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: going to be exactly.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: What I wanted, but it's going to be close enough
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: and for that price. Yes, you are right. Yes, so
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: I cashed in. You can't came in. You certainly did. Yeah,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: and till tails out of school.
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: Though for a second, you may want to cut this out.
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: I rocked over to Dando's house today to record this episode.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: What are here?
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: When when I come in? Ah, I've got to fix
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: the cupboard. My shelf just broke off. So just say
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: this is where nickol like keeps all ship. You weren't
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: saying it in a derogatory zens like that was like,
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: and looking at it's like, oh, yeah, there's a lot
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: of empty tup of wee containers all that kind of stuff,
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: all the ship.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: That I've got on my every pantry has a shoff
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: where shit goes to die.
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And I was about implicit in that statement, was
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: like we got to throw some of this shit out, and.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Yet I come in. Here's like I bought so many
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: pairs of pajamas, but I will use them. That's the
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: thing that's correct.
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: You're not going to use those that those couple of contains,
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: but you are going to wear five pairs of.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Nick Well, fuck that. She'll like, we'll go get tie food, right,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: and they give them the place of containers and she'll
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: keep them. Like, Nick, we've got a cover full of
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: that ship. You still keep all of them. They've got
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: like tie basil of it on the bottom of them.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: I am guilty of this.
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: I actually just washed the I've got a very nice
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: tig green carrier from black Basil in in height and
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: good place front of the pod and a little.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Strip in near pizza. Yeah, they are good.
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: They are really nice. And I'm like, I've got them
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: in the sink, Washington. I know it's bad for the
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: environment to throw these out, but why am I washing them?
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: These are disposable, they're busty. You just put them in
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: the recycling Well, are they really going to be recycled,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: come on, dand talking about now he's been I'll take
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: your tinfoil cap off. Let's get a trivia shall we.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Let's there's only so much time on the actually before
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: we can do that, because I was in one of
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: my trivia questions. There's a whole aspect of this episode
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: we haven't even touched on yet. And it's the other
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: outdated part of this episode. It's Lisa obsessed with my pods.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Slashed eye was Apple Mapple right? So the come out
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: in two thousand and one. There's a reason we didn't
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: talk about. It's not that interesting. It's not interesting. But
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: I'm watching this going, why are you doing this story now?
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: I was more dumbfounded by that one, going, I get
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: that the iPhone has just come out, and I guess,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: you know, maybe Apple really took off when the iPhone
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: came out, which is two thousand and seven. This is
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: too so kind of the time. But still I'm watching
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: this going, this just feels.
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: Lame again, feels daylight and dollar short. Yeah, and it
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: was years late and several dollars short, and it.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Wasn't all that funny. It wasn't it's not taking the
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: micky out of Apple isn't worthy of an entire storyline. No,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: it's almost like they were afraid of Apple and Steve
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: Jobs and all that.
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: I mean, they could have turned them into a Hank
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: Scorpio type and they did to like maybe yeah, No,
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: they didn't make them an evil genius.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: It felt like they was sucking up to Apple. Don't
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: you Reckon? Kind of yeah, as Almos, they're trying to
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: take the mickey out of people who are obsessed with Apple,
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: but they weren't willing to go all the way like
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: Tray and Mattwood from South Park, like they would really
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: take them becau is there an Apple based episode of
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: South Park that have to be Surely we'll get to it.

• 23:39
  Speaker 1: My first question for you is okay, well I'm going
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: to give you the answer, and you're gonna give me
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: the question because I can't remember. It is do do
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Do Do? Do? Do Do Do do? Jeopardy dipods, sleigh list.
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: Oh, it's it's the name of the Eaching and Scratch episode.
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: It is the Hey comic book guy has having a
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: problem with what version of the operating system?
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Oh, I've got no idea. What is that? Four point two?
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Four point two? I didn't mind him throwing the hammer
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: at the window, which is a take off of the
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: commercial it is. Indeed, that's pretty much that revolutionized, right, Yeah? Yeah,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: that created that. That made Macintosh, didn't it that ad? Yeah?
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: Fun point. Do you know who directed that episode? Who
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: directed who directed that commercial? Who directed that commercial? I
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: should probably know? It was probably in the Seed Jobs movie?
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: He was it? It was Ridley Scott. Was it really low? Yeah?
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: That wouldn't have cost a pretty penny. Absolutely, and it
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: would have cost it. They would have paid for that,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: not just for his tumbles. To have his name attached
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: to it makes them seem legitimate.
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, absolutely, yeah, because he's this is not long
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: after after the one two punch of Alien and Blade Runner.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, so he's eighty four. I reckon it was, Yes,
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: and the AD's called nineteen eighty four as well. Of course, yes,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: that that makes sense. So my next question for you
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: is what magazine was Marjor reading in bed? She was
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: reading Barely Regal. Now my question to he was who
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: was on the cover of that issue? Well, it was
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: a prince of some kind? Was it? The one that's
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: been done for child touching? That could be any prince
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: except except Prince So prince, it's Prince Charles's brother. What's
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: his name? Oh? I don't think it's an actual prince.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Oh isn't it? Okay? Oh it wasn't Andrew.
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: I thought it was print Okay, yeah, okay, no, no, no,
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: it was Prince Olaf of Norway.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Oh there we go. Okay. Then my final question for
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: you is I'm going to so how many how many
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: songs did Lisa download twelve hundred, No twelve, twelve hundred
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: and twelve, I believe. Oh okay, twelve hundred and twelve.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Let me have a look somewhere in my notes. Yeah,
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: because the cost of twelve dollars and nine nine cents each. Oh,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: she's what it was? Tweve hundred and twelve songs? Did
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: they say that or did you? Did you do the
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: man at LISTA? No? No, she goes two hundred dollars
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: but only downloaded twelve hundred and twelve songs. Okay, I
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: was close. But as they say, no cigar, I will
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: as much as I I would say despise Apple, but
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: I just got of. I mock and laugh at people
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: who use Apple phones and have to have the Apple
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: this Apple. That the iPod was a fucking incredible invention.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, but that was that was that changed the world,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: the iPod.
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I see, I have only ever owned like one
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: Apple item. And it's not because I'm taking a stand
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: or anything like that.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: Maybe it's I'm a weird contrarian, but I mean, look,
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: when it comes to phone, I'm a Samsung guy. Honestly,
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: A lot of my tech is like Samsung and Galaxy.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: I like to use my phone as a be able
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: to do things with it. Apples like you will use
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Apple devices and that's it.
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: Maybe that's my problem with the Apple does feel very
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: much like a closed system of close lube. And when
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: you've got one thing, you have to have everything if
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: you want anything to be connected.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: Even the fake ship the mock shit costs money.
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that was that's my next question, okay, which
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: we'll get to an ext But the only thing I've
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: ever owned was like an Apple, iPod, nano.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Or small ones. Yeah, I never like the names are
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: too small for me. I like the bigger ones, but
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: people love them, I understand. Yeah yeah, and they don't
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: make that anymore. But it's like, oh man, I understand
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: why because I wouldn't use one anymore either. But it's
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: just sad because I host thought. I have so many
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: memories of walking down the street just listening to my
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: having the first time was able to have a collection
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: of songs in your hand. Kids now would just never
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: understand it, but just being able to put it, plug
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: it in. Of course you have to have iTunes you
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: to have all the ship, but you would have your
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: own download of songs you transferm over and you make
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: your own little play lists, and it's like that was unbelievable. Well,
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: is't think? I mean before that, of course you would
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: make the odd mixtape or anything like that. But that's limited.
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: It's limited, limited and not in the good way, but
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: you know, fairly small scale, whereas this is like boom,
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: mind blown. Yeah, I really like that little live button
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: and the other thing about They touch on this, but
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: actually I really sort of elaborate on this in the episode.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Is how cool all that shit looked? Yeah? Apple stuff
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: looks great. Yeah, the packaging and everything, yeah yeah.
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: The tech is like half of it. The marketing and
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: the design is there's bad mats, but it's like half
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: and a half of it.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Do you know who liked Apple Jet? The band Oh
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: Better preface Better followed up with the band, so they
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: had are you going to be My Girl? On their

• 30:21
  Speaker 4: and eight, twenty ten. I thought it was it's never

• 30:29
  Speaker 1: That. Oh yeah. Global Financial crisis, also known as a
• 30:32

• 30:36
  Speaker 1: It was the most severe economic crisis since the Great Depression. Okay,
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: so yeah, but it was. It was great for dvid fans.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: I ain't going to buy me some US DVDs at
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: less price. Good time to be alive. It was, yeah,
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: all right, that was it. That's it.
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: No, I just thought that was a nice bit of
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: I don't know, ironic commentary on the part of the
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: Simpsons guide Prosperity is just around the corner in the
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: middle of the GFC.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: So in the episode kicks off with the family at
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: the mall, it's Boxing Day and how long do you
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: wait before you take your Christmas shit down? We took
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: out Christmas Street down end of January. Yeah, my Christmas
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: lights were up for quite some time. I feel like
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: we're the ear and now where you go, I need
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: to try and keep the joy alive. That's a very
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: sweet attitude on your partner. Mine was just laziness. Yeah,
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: I hide the laziness behind the fact that I just
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: wanted to keep the joy going.
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: Because I would, you know, I would go see lou
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: and I'll be driving home to my place of an
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: evening and it was almost like a time lapse thing
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: of like, oh, okay, they've taken their lights out. Oh
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: fewer and fewer and fewer Imperial lights as I'm driving
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: home until like I'm the last guy on the block.
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: I've got multicolored lights around.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: His hand, and you're that neighbor, like, oh, that fucking
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: Bogan naghbor. But apparently it's the Bogan neighbors always take
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: their shit down last. And I'm like, ah, we're the
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: anyone the Christmas shit up, we better take it down.
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: And I'd like to present myself as a man of
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: sophistication and laziness wh doesn't always launch.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: I was gonna give a shout out to my mum,
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: Marcia Dando, right, She's just sent me. God love her.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: A message on Facebook, and it is a I created
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: a real Facebook page of Nancy cart Right running through
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: Simpson's voices, write her characters, and she has shed it
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: to me, saying you'd love this, Mom, I made this,
• 32:12

• 32:38
  Speaker 1: love very that's very sweet. Yes, it's very much my mom.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: If you knew my mom, it's very much my mom.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: She's the one that used to write low at the
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: end of the conference every sentence, thinking it's meant lots
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: of love. She say, I'll be over soon, Lowell, Okay,
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: do you want your chicken from the shop? Loll chicken
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: sold on normal salt loll.
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: The fact that she's closing out with all the lolls
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: on all of these thinking it's lots of love.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, But they're at the mall. It's box
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: bush down, Carols are singing songs. Raindy is getting put
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: in the wood ship. I've got Martin Luther King day
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: coming up. So now doctor King's now in the chair. Yeah,
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: when he finally gets a lunch break, he's fred last. Yeah,
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: it's not insensible, it's a it's a fine gay. I'm
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: glad it wasn't something that went to town where it
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: was just short and sharp got it done. Yeah. So
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: they have the gig now apparently the family where they
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: all get to return one present with no hurt feelings.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: They all return, but it's cat calendar that he bought for.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: Everybody felt sorry for him. Then I thought about it
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: and I went, you know what, the calendars are the
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: weirdest fucking present. I always want a Simpson's calendar. But
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: then I look at it and go, why do I
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: need a themed calendar? We have in this house. We
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: holy got a bluey one, al, you got a Jurassic
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: part And I'm thinking, why do we buy each other calendars?
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: They got twenty bucks yore boxing day, buying boxing day
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: that worth like five because they're.
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: Well, it's like buying a diary for the year. I mean,
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: if your old school like me and you actually want
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: a physical diary, yeah, you're write in Yeah, yeah.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: It's like you're not going to buy that before Christmas, you're.
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: Not even gonna buy you you're not even gonna buy
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: it in the new year. You you're gonna wait until
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: like a week into the new.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: Usually the boxing every candies you wait till because usually
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: stay arountil about January fourth or fifth. Or what about
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: the supermarkets, that's the shopping malls, you might as well
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: wait till then. I bought the Blue and the Dressy
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: part one flight two dollars each and no originally twenty bucks.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: And you think if you're still making a profit on too,
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: or do you think it's just that it's trying to
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: get anything back for them? Probably that probably just taking
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: the loss because I think so you're not gonna be
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: able to sell them anymore, so you just take what
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: you can get. A guess other just gonna get pumped.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: But yeah, so, as I was saying, I felt so
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: for it, and I thought, yeah, it is a ship gift,
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: but the last minute gift. And then Lisa notices the
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: Apple store is now in the in the shop in
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: the shopping mall that's been filled more lovely gleaming cube
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: of the place. It's just them taking the mickey out
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: of all the Apple products. I did love the light
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: confirms that it's off. Lest think I mean, if.
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: You if you were a PC user or a Samsung
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: user or whatever I mean trying to I won't say
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: using Apple stuff is difficult to decide, but it's something like, oh,
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: so I've got to know go left to go right
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: on this one of this button means that.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: As opposed to well, they don't have control and all
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: those things different buttons. Because if I had a previous employment,
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: they bought everyone it's all Apple everything. They'll convinced that
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: Apple was the way, and I'm going this sucks. Does
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: anyone have any comment? Yeah? Fun Yet Krusty hates his
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Mypod though why did he hate it? I can't remember
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: why he hated it. It was just something the new music.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: Don't even get Me Started, scream was too small to
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: watch his shows that think. He said, Yeah, its today,
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: don't get me started, that one on too long, don't
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: get me started. No one gotta be started anyway, So
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: he's going to get an old navy to see if
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: anyone gets them started. Gives his Mypod to Lisa. I
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: think you had some You.
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: Had some commentators taking issue of the fact that it's like, Okay,
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: why is this called Mapple? Why is he called Steve
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: Mobbs when you're actually name checking Oh, Navy, Microsoft. Yeah,
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: it speaks to what you said before, like that they
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: scared of him. Yeah, Like it's bizarre anyway. So she
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: does the dancing silhouettes, which thought it was really cool animation.
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: When she gets it, she doesn't dance, and then he goes,
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: we're all whatever Apple fans, and she does the sad
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: one because a silhouet of someone looking sad with with
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: a myppod. Then it's time for the live announcement from
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: Steve Mobs and he's like a guy who knows actually
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: what we want and he says is at the headquarters
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: under the sea, and then Bart takes over the speech
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: and I've just got here. This just feels like it's
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: the writers taking a shot at Steve Jobs but hiding
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: behind Bart.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: Oh. Just everything they wanted to get out about the
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: negative side of Apple and the people that follow it
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: all got spoken he through Bart, and I just went, ah,
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: Bart wouldn't care enough to say all that shit. It
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: just felt weird having how did Bart do it?
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: It's weird that Lisa is the one who gets sort
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: of sucked in consumers of I mean, yeah, it's if
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: you're being jeerous, you would say, wow, it's an interesting sword.
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: No one's immune to Apple, but having bart Bley gonna
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: like fight the like No he he buys anything that's
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: got crusty on it.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it. Yeah exactly. I think this episode needed
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: to have Lisa feeling left out. I know we've done
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: a story a million times, but Lisa feeling that because
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: everyone else has got on my pod, she really wants one,
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: and then she gets sucked him because she wants to
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: be cool with everybody else. Then realize it's not cool
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: to have one. Blah blah blah. You play a different story,
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: better story. Sure, we fixed it again. It is I.
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: You're insanely great leader, Steve mob I'm speaking to you
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: from Mapple headquarters, deep below the sea with an announcement
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: that will completely change the way you look at everything.
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: And that announcement is you're all losers. I think you're
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: cool because you buy a five hundred dollars phone with
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: a picture of a fruit on it. Who gets what
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: they cost eight bucks to make an ip on everyone?
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: I have made a fortune or few chumps, and I've
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: invested it all in Microsoft. Now, my boyfriend Bill Gates
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: and I kiss each other on a pile of your mind.
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: Treat your heart is flackery.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: Than you're chi neck. You've heard him speaking all of
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: a sudden, his voices out changed to a ten year
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: old boy, and no one's going, what's going on here?
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: It's just, ah, why is he saying all these things?
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: And it's just just to create the gag of a
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: guy throwing the hammer, which was a nice, a fun
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: little tribute, but it just didn't make any sense to Yeah,
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: it feels like Nancy Carra was weirdly directed in this regard.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it was.
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: It felt more like Bard saying fight the power, you know,
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: Dan with Apple, as opposed to him just being.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: A little little dick. Yeah, and like Yeah saying making
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: Steve Mobs say, you know, silly shit. He's not rebellious
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: against consumerism. No, he's rebellious because he's just he's rebellious
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: because he's bored. Yeah, and you know, and he wants
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: to stir some shit up. Yeah. So him saying all
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: this stuff doesn't make any sense at all, does it? Now? Really?
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: But the who dare questioned? The boss who we fired
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: ten years and we brought back and they tried to
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: flay Bart with their earbuds. He gets away and then
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: again there he goes, well, why they're trying to give
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: it shining a harsh light on society? I know how
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: now I know how Dane Cook feels. And I was like, whoa, yeah,
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: dated a, Wow, there's the very two thousands episode. Yeah.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: Really indeed, then he smells some lamb and then I
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: know it's continuity. It doesn't matter about cantuit anymore. But
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: he says, all these years of petting lambs that should
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: have been putting them in my mouth at Thist is
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: a vegetarian. They're all eating lamb. This is lamb, not
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: e lamb. So yeah, one of my favorite Simpsons lines
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: of all time. Yeah, it's like he knows he eats
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: lamb all the time. What the hell? Anyway?
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, if you're going to be talking about,
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: say lamb prepared by someone from Iran or someone from
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: that part of the world.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: I thought lamb was kind of like, you know, barbaric
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: but tasty, and all these spices about it lifted to
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: a whole new level. I can barely taste the Barber
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: is there we are. Guy nails it with a killer
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: one line. You barely tastes the slaughter, you can barely
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: taste the pain. Yeah, there we go. Oh god, we're
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: fixing this episode in real time.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: You barely taste the fear. So then he introduced, but
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: she introduces himself that Bush just wanted to someone's backyard.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: She is like, hey again.
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: You know, if you're going to be talking about followers
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: of Islam or people from the Middle East or whatever,
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: I don't want to sound condescen any want to say
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: that the people I know who are Middle East are
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: just fucking hearts of gold, most generous people, most welcoming
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: people that I've ever met. They just like, come on in,
• 40:38
  Speaker 4: we have it, we're eating.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: Will they make the joking actual people supposed to be
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: very welcoming.
• 40:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe elaborate that a little in the start, as
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: opposed to just Bart rock in and say, hey, I'm
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: going to enjoy your lambs, Like of course, I just
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: have have the family. So yeah, there's room at the table,
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: come on in.
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Plus it establishes pretty early on well I think
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: they've already done it anyway, but established like shit, they's
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: are good people. Theyse are really nice. Why is Homer
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: being a dick to them? Yeah, but he wasn't dick yet. No, no, yeah,
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: yeah yeah. So then he makes his mom says, I
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: don't know you had the old you didn't your sister
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah, the sistuff whatever it is, invites about
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: to stay for dinner, and then he teaches Bashiah the
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: school rules.
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: Okay, you're new to our schools. So here's the deal.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: We call skinner skin rash, mister Wiener is mister Weiner,
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: and groundskeeper Willie grounds creeper stupid.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: Oh that's not clever. We have so many aspects you
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: can mark.
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: I'm poor, I'm dirty, I can't read all right, I
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: think movies are real.
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: Okay. Next, here's the food at the cafeteria that will
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: make you sick. Cole slaw, tuna, all chowders and gumbos.
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: The only thing that's safe is the pork chops.
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: My religion says I can never.
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: Eat pork a different religion. Do not tell anyone that,
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: because if the bully's around, you find out that you're different.
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: Who's different?
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: What's your name? Sweat stain?
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: A bush here? Bash here I love a kid that
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: comes with directions.
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: Then this is where the bullies rock up. And yeah,
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: as we said, I didn't mind how they use them here.
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: They end up beating the shut of each other because
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: of idiots.
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: That's right, because well, what one's Christian, one's Jewish, and
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: one he's in a.
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: Cult, Moe's cult, Keny's mum's banging mo apparently. Yeah, yes,
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: so I didn't think though, that was a nice ad
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: break because before they start doing that, they have the
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: kids like sort of confronting him. They're going to bash
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: him up and his ad break, And I was like,
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: that would keep me around to find out what's going
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: to happen next you get the well, is this going
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: to turn into a very special episode? Yeah, but then
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: obviously bubble things happen. They get away, Sherry and Terry
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: are now about to hate on Lisa, and then they
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: say that you go to mypod and she shows the
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: Moon Dreams and then and then I found I'm like, guys,
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: it's Moon Dreams. What are we doing? We should love
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: this song? Bertha calls a pretty cool album by my
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: man Miles Davis. Yeah, yeah, then my tunes exclusively she
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: is scratchy. So now they're friends with her because she's
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: got the mylah blah blah blah. But I thought, why
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: has no one else got in my pod? Why is
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: Lisa the anyone? It seems like no one else in Springfield,
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: kid wise, one of any Mapple shit, just Lisa. It
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: was just, oh, that's a good point. It was so bizarre. Yeah,
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: if you're going to.
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: Talk about apples everywhere, blah blah blah blah blah, this
• 43:17
  Speaker 4: is a bit of a stretch. But you know, have
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: Lisa at the Mapple shop. I'm sad I can't even
• 43:22
  Speaker 4: afford my phonies. Like there's one rebel Apple store Mapple
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: store employee.
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: Who's like, look, this is new and it's a sample.
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: We can't really give it out, but here you go
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: have this, you know, and maybe he can spread the word,
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: tell them how good.
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: It's like, wow, she's got the latest.
• 43:38
  Speaker 4: One or something like that. Yeah, this is not as
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: good as the other fix its I've come up with
• 43:42
  Speaker 4: this episode.
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: But I don't know, it's just they needed it felt
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: like Lisa was the only one who gave a shit
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: about Mapple. It was so bizarre because she seems to
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: be the last characters should be obsessed with mapple. But yeah,
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: so they've watched the exclusive. She is scratchy. I like
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: itch scratchy. I thought this one was not bad. They're
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: going a bit longer, but I don't mind it that.
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: I'd rather this fellow than have just a random, useless
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: joke filling it up. Oh yeah, yeah, it's relevant to
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: the episode. Homers then changed the light bulbs in the house,
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: throwing the old ones to the backyard, and then basher
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: rocks up. He thinks he's millhouse. He gives his new catchphase,
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: which is John sat with today's Salama legam, which means
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: peace be with you, be with you. Yes, feeling all
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: those lines, yeah, just friendly.
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: Speaks to the commonality of all religions. I mean, growing
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: up Catholic, we have the thing at church where you
• 44:26
  Speaker 4: know we now offer each other sign a piece. He
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: turned the person next and shake your hand and say
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: peace be with you. All the ship's coded throughout all
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: these religions.
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: Why why are we getting bunched up at that being
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: different when they're all the same. We are all the same.
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: But he returns, but Slingshot calls him, sir, I did
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: like the thirty eight waist. Yeah, Nicola thought this was hilarious,
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: believe yeah. But then we get to most This is

• 45:26
  Speaker 1: So you can't be trusted. Homers says, well, I need
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: a fictional TV expousing your point of view. We get
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: twenty four just to get Mina on the screen's mean
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: of him. That scene probably is in the background, maybe maybe,
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: but it's just got a Muslim on there, just being
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: a classic TV terror classic, Yeah, done with America, And
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: they tell him to discriminate against his family, invite him
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: over dinner and give Hi the jap Bobo treatment, gets
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: some secrets out of him. So it's time for dinner,
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: and Homer's just being really over the top here. But
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: as you said, when I watched this, I thought this
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: was a bit annoying, but you've sort of you've explained
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: it to me where it wasn't necessarily him being this
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: way until he was convinced by TV and his idiot friends.
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: He's idiotic friends. Yeah, they made it's a little cake
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: char to cut? What Distalina? Not? Now? I got soap
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: in my eyes? No, thank you? What's the matter.
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: Don't like the taste of freedom?
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: Dad?
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: These people are my friends. Don't fear them just because
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: they have a different religion, a different culture, and their
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: last name is bin Laden.
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: Young man, you do not respect us by disrespecting your father.
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: I like the way you Italians think, shit the old man.
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: Then they all leave. Mar Is annoyed because he's being
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: very intolerant. You're teaching your kids a bad example. And
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: as he says, it's just so funny. He's going judge
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: Bilk passon never religion. That feels like a classic Simpsons line.
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: God does. Yeah, so she says, you gotta go apologize,
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: but with a more powerful country for a few more years.
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: And then he's making about to eat the cake. He
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: says he can't get this poison. So Homer arrives to apologize.
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry I suspected you to be solace murderers of
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: innocent children. He looks the window and he sees but
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: she is father with dynamite, and he just assumes for
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: the worst. I think he's gonna blow something up. And
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: why you would have dynamite in the garages. It's all
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: a bit It's almost a fair assumption to make. If
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: someone's got to ship down a DNT.
• 47:15
  Speaker 4: In their garage, it's your job keep it at work.
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it all seems a bit silly. Yeah. Then
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: Marge's reading very regal in bed, and Homer rocks up
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: and he says, everything is what I think people like.
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: Everyone is what I think they are. It's barely regal.
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: Is a pretty funny game, it is. Yeah. Yeah. Then
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: Miss Mahoma has the Aladdin dream and Dan actually is
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: the voice of Gennie in Everything but the Laddin, so
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: he's the return to far I think this is the
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: Ladin TV series. So Dan's just doing his genie.
• 47:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and I know he wanted to sort of emulate
• 47:48
  Speaker 4: Ron Wings without doing necessarily an impersonation, But yeah, I
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: was pretty taken with that. I thought it was It
• 47:53
  Speaker 4: felt like a very affectionate piss take of Robin Williams.
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because also meant to be carrying the leg Well true,
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: but it also feels very much like Robin will do
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: that kind of thing. Well, you have to be you
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: have to be Robin, you have to be Yeah. So yeah, yeah,
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: well yeah he does. He does a good genie because
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: when we were kids, we're watching a Laddin TV series
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: just thinking it's just Robin Williams, But no, it was
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: Dan doing this thing. You're robbed. You must like me,
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: you really really like me. God mourning, run my dub.
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: Come crazy for prices?
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: Are Who's se Jenny? You do Flanders? Now? I will
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: destroy your decadent Western society. But then leads it gets
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: the delivery from Mapple Beautiful Packaging and whatnot, but it's
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: a bill for twelve hundred dollars because she's down in
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: a twelve hundred and twelve songs and Homer is by
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: the window and he ever hears the conversation of Beer's
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: parents and as we said earlier, just classic comedy. I
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: really love the I love blowing buildings legally, but there's
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: killing myself. But all for the prophet. That is so
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: well read. For the prophet is great for the property
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: because all the other ones, like off the explosion, I'll
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: be in a better place. I caught her office. I'm like,
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: that's all ridiculous. But they killing myself all for the prophet.
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: I'm like, that's good. That is very good. Then he
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: knocks on the door to apologize because the father's left,
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: and he says, I just want to know come saying hello,
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: blah blah Blah's gon an rumih to the house. Praise
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: be Oliver as he says, what do you think of
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: the so now that he's gone death to America? Right,
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: it's a bit stupid, it's a bit on the note. Yeah.
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: But then he finds the leftop I'm in and he
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: sees the folder for the Springfield more that's going to
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: be blown up. Blah blah blah. And then he I
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: hated this next bit where she goes because he said,
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go grind up some almonds or whatever.
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: She doesn't sound like you're grinding up any almonds. And
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: he just does it. It's just dan Impropitt, but it
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: just went forever I've heard my thumb oh oh, and
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: then actually does it does the ambulance sound, and it
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: actually does do this something when he goes out the window.
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: When he goes out the window, yeah, home, and then
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: tells everyone at the moor to get out. And I'm
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: first watching this going no one's getting out. Then I thought,
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: you know, what if I'm in basically Plaza or Westfield
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: and some guy runs past, goes get out of here. Yeah,
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: I'm getting Eddy. Why a chance safe than sorry? Sure?
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: And across the road to Market Square. Yeah, everyone, nothing's
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: happening there. No, no, nothing bad is happening there at all.
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: So then he says to Patty and someone like you
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: stay because a part of the dvs in the mall
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: now whatever. So he runs across, blows up the thinks
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna blow up the mall. He grabs the dynamite,
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: ends up They're going to blop the old mall. That's
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: what Bart's doing because he thinks sees Bat with the
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: plunger whatever it is, and he ends up trying it
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: and blows up the bridge, which is the bridge to
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: the Duff Brewery, and he realizes, oh shit, because all
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: the cars, the truck start crashing, goes into the water.
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: Lee's Hans moment, and the driver's seat goes and gets
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: some beer away. It's Han's moment. He's expendable, that's true.
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: And then he invites them over for dinner to apologize
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: the pardon for my part of mind tolerance on the banner.
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: It's come for good use over the years, as he says,
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: And Lisa is gone something Mapple should be gone for
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: a month, and I was like, this is even have
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: a good ending for this story, Like it's just it's
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: so lazy. Okay, how is she getting there? I don't know.
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: She borrowed a James Cameron's Lisa. She said something to
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: do A Mapple should be back in a month, and
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: I'm like, that's a long time for an eight year
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: old to be gone. No one realized she was gone.
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: It's just stupid. Do you think they needed to Maybe
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: it is, I mean the story was stupid, right, but
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: they needed a reason to have Lisa away from all
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: this ridiculousness so she could be the one saying Dad
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: what are you doing Bart was kind of doing here. Yeah,
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know. It's just there was.
• 51:37
  Speaker 4: Some really some good ideas, Yeah, that weren't properly fleshed out.
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: It just feels like an opening act kind of thing
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: to set up a main story, not an entire sub story.
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: But anyway, it's what is. It is what it is.
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: But he says no slogan says, think definitely, But it's
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: actually no refunds. So he says, you're not going to
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: get any refunds, but you can work for us, and
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: she's just going to be the sales chick on the street.
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: And that's the end of the episode. That is the
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: end of the episode. In indeed, it's all in all,
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: it was nowhere near as bad as I remembered it being.
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: Just felt dated. I really didn't like the mipod stuff.
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: I just felt dated and whatever. But the way they
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: handled the Basher family and the bin Laden family should say,
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: and Homer being the oblivious idiot, I didn't mind it.
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: I had some moments where it felt a bit over
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: the top and ridiculous, but it's a TV colity, You're
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: going to have those moments. And I just thought overall,
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: they they handled it quite well. Yeah, look it's a
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: solid idea.
• 52:25
  Speaker 4: It's coming to the table a little late, and what
• 52:28
  Speaker 4: they brought to the table was kind of like, Eh,
• 52:30
  Speaker 4: this platter is a little unwieldy, and not everybody likes
• 52:34
  Speaker 4: this food, but their heart was in the right place.
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what do we learn, Bomber? So what did you
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: learn from this episode? Danno? I learned that even wooden
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: reindeers are animals too. They have feelings, don't put it.
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: What did I learn? I learned how Dane cook felt.
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah I did. I'm Dane Cooking year twelve. We used
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: to listened to him religiously, like we love the guy.
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: We thought it was hilarious. I went back and listened
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: to that same stand up a year ago. I went,
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: there's one bit that I think is really good, but
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: the rest of it is just yeah, chicks man, Yeah,
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: my dear, Yeah, And you're like.
• 53:12
  Speaker 4: I can't say I've got a problem with any of it.

  Speaker 1: From day forward, your name will be It's time for
• 53:21
