1:00
the moment that what? What are you hooked on? Sleep? Sleep?
1:03
Yeah, sleeps a big thing. I'm not getting much of it at the
1:04
moment keeping warm. It's just been hard this week for me in particularly because
1:07
a balancing life with kids and whatnot. And we're going on our holiday next
1:11
week, and you're going to the holiday week after, which means we're recording
1:15
three weeks worth of content in the space of a week. I'm therefore going
1:18
to try and edit as much as I can. I'm gonna be editing as
1:21
well on our holiday, so we're gonna get a holiday. I don't know,
1:23
that's the thing. So, yeah, Dano's doing all that, and
1:26
you know, I'm just really exerting a lot of the energy feeling sorry for
1:30
him. I feel like lately from you, Oh, I've been seeing a
1:34
lot of my bad to get a performance review no from you, from your
1:37
social media post and I feel like in a state of live life to its
1:41
fullest kind of vibe from you. Yeah, you posted yesterday you realize you
1:44
have two lives. You have two lives. The second begins when you realize
1:48
you only have one. Yeah, So I feel like you're in a state
1:49
of like, I'm gonna start living life to the fullest. Maybe, Like
1:52
what's what's going on? Yeah, I don't know. I mean I just
1:55
sort of came across that palm that resonates. Yeah, because you've mentioned a
1:57
couple of times on the podcast this week, the whole the new mantra that
2:02
you have that you're living by. Oh, yes, that being alive is
2:06
as a special occasion as it gets. Yeah. So you got a nice
2:09
bottle of whiskey, crack the lid on it, have a sip. Everyone,
2:13
How have you treated yourself this week? We treat you stuff to McDonald's,
2:15
which is unforunately, was not a treat. Yeah that was last week.
2:17
Yeah, guys had the six months not bad, but you just prevented
2:22
from from eating it. I will I will not eat McDonald's for a while.
2:24
Yeah. Oh, last night we took, didn't take. But Elliott
2:28
had his first school performance, which was great. Yeah, it was just
2:32
I mean, I'm always proud of all yet, but just seeing him up
2:35
on stage dancing doing this routine, I'm thinking, Hey, this is an
2:38
actual routine. Different moves are different part of the something I think actual choreography
2:42
and just sort of it sort of didn't just dawn on me, but there
2:44
was moments while watching him going I created him. This is he's a little
2:47
it's a little human. It's not just a little baby anymore. He's a
2:50
human up on stage dancing and performing. I think that's my dude, he
2:53
sprang from my loins. Yeah, and I will say I will say that
2:59
if you have the chance, it's to go to your your child's school assemblies
3:02
or performances and things like that. Always do it. Never not, because
3:07
for these are the lessons that Lie Like and other movies have taught us.
3:09
The last like three months, Ali always has a school assembly on a Monday,
3:13
and they shifted every second Monday from just in the prep prep room,
3:16
so the prep class has their own little mini assembly, and then they have
3:19
a whole school assembly every second week. And I sometimes go to the whole
3:23
school assemblies whatever. I've sort of missed the prep ones because my sister picks
3:27
my not taking the barsom on Monday, so I don't usually go. And
3:30
then he said to me on Monday morning, can you come to my assembly
3:34
today? And I thought, oh, yeah, okay. He got to
3:37
like two thirty. I thought, oh, well I'll go. I'll go
3:38
check it out. Right. I get there, I'm sitting in the chair
3:42
at the start. They go and they turn around away to the parents and
3:44
allis they all turned around. Alix looked and he saw me there and his
3:47
eyes lit up, and I thought, that's why you should go. Oh
3:51
yeah, absolutely. I thought, I will make the effort every Monday now
3:53
because I can. I just felt bad the last three months he's been turning
3:57
around waving to everyone else's parents. No good, every other parents. Chard's
4:00
parents were there. But I just saw the he became a whole new kid.
4:04
It was like he sat up straight and he smiled and he waved,
4:06
and I thought, Okay, I'll make the effort now. Yeah, I
4:09
mean, it really does make a difference in a lot of ways. Look,
4:13
I'm not gonna get all daddy wasn't there anything like that. But I
4:15
mean Bobby when I was growing up, not that he was like, oh
4:19
I'm not I'm definitely not going to the school things. Yeah, not definitely
4:23
not going to school things. I mean he had he had a bunch of
4:26
other shit on. It was hosting television show, and I wally appreciate that.
4:29
But I do recall specifically one time that he came to watch me play
4:31
foot in the afternoon. It was like, yeah, this is this means
4:34
something. It means something. Yeah, so parents, if you can make
4:39
the extra effort, Yeah, if you can, but everyone can, but
4:42
if you can do it. So this is the stuff that we like,
4:44
parenthood and aphorisms that you put up on Facebook. But Andrew JP with the
4:49
first question or the second question, Matt first, Yeah, first, real
4:53
question, Jesus, do you still enjoy reviewing The Simpsons now that it's getting
4:59
too point where most people stopped watching? Is it? Is it more fun
5:02
to revisit the golden ear episodes with the special guests. Look, I'm gonna
5:06
say that, Look, it's definitely fun to revisit the classic episodes because I
5:12
think there are episodes that you and I, if not necessarily grew up on.
5:15
Remember, Yeah, they really resonate with us. Yeah, they become
5:19
part of our cultural language, the way we relate to each other, the
5:24
way we relate to other people. We use it a bit of a punchline.
5:26
Yeah. We just recorded at Home I Lost Flanders exclusive for Patreon,
5:29
which has a lot of fun. Yeah. We did two episodes back to
5:30
back. Christy gets canceled will be coming up. Yeah. Yeah, And
5:33
I don't think there was a great deal of difference in the energy, but
5:39
I think there was a bit of a difference in Oh, we're having a
5:42
lot of fun talking about oh remember this is in this and oh yeah memes
5:45
and gags and one liners and guest stars and all that, whereas Weird Season
5:48
nineteen. I don't think I think we're enjoying talking about it, but I
5:51
think we're only enjoying deconstructing it. We're definitely critiquing it or going why would
5:57
you have this? Why is that? Yeah? How did you have Jack
6:00
Black in it for only three minutes? Do you think this would work if
6:02
you transposed this gag into an earlier episode that we call vintage Simpsons. I
6:06
mean, but you feel like, how could we fix this episode so it
6:10
would work now as opposed to then or whatever. I'm sure you could do
6:13
that with vintage Simpsons, but they're so classic that you feel like you'd be
6:16
offending everybody. If you tried to deconstruct it, it would feel like that
6:19
you were taking a part. I was about to say, Gabbo, what's
6:25
Bobo? Bob? I love the beloved Teddy Bears, Like I'm going to
6:28
cut him up and make him into a better Teddy Bears. No, No,
6:30
he's Bob. Whereas with these episodes, I don't think we're as emotionally
6:34
invested in them, and I think we can view them with a with a
6:39
clearer set of eyes and go, this doesn't work, and he is why
6:43
this kind of works. But I would have done this differently. And I
6:46
don't think we're being completely negative. I think when we're seeing good stuff,
6:50
we're appreciated, appreciating it and giving it its props. Yeah. I just
6:55
think with the older episodes we appreciate them, and the seasons at nineteen episodes,
7:00
where as you said, critiquing and deconstructing, yeah, you necessarily feel
7:03
like you need to with the older ones, but you definitely do with season
7:05
nineteen. I think so. Yeah, there's a sense of ah this again
7:11
with some of the gags, and it's just it feels like the vibe of
7:15
the show's just getting a bit lazier. Yeah. Back with Classic Simpsons,
7:17
Injured Simpsons, whatever, it felt like it was setting the pace for just
7:23
about everything, but also not wanting to compete with anything. It's like we
7:27
shout a baby, I know, with a best show on TV, but
7:31
with the Simpsons, we've got our own tone. We'll do things our way
7:35
and it's not a matter of like, we don't even care if you appreciate.
7:40
It's like, no, I think that you're making a show that wants
7:42
that you want to entertain people with, but at the same time, we're
7:45
also really entertaining ourselves. Watching say season nineteen, it's like, do you
7:48
think they like this? Yeah, that's the feeling I'm getting anywhere you get
7:51
the feeling from the people making you think that they'll laugh at this, right,
7:56
Yeah, well we're gonna do this. We don't care what you think
7:58
a lot of the time as well. Yeah, that's the other one.
8:00
Yeah, Or it's like a disdain for the criticism, Well you don't think
8:03
it's funny. Yeah, But with the Simpsons, yeah yeah. I find
8:07
too that when we were reviewing the older episodes, it feels almost impossible to
8:13
touch on every gag that you see in the show because you'd be there forever.
8:16
It's like you have to sometimes go, I know it's funny, but
8:18
we can't talk about everything. But with the older episodes that we're doing now,
8:22
it just feels like it's so much filler, And I feel like when
8:26
we're doing every new episodes in the season nineteen, it feels like we're filling
8:30
that gap and that void with just banter about whatever. We're going more tangents.
8:33
We're in the older episodes. You can't really golf on tangents because there's
8:37
so much to talk about. We're in the newer ones. It's either critique
8:41
or go. Yeah, that was kind of funny, and then got from
8:43
a tangent pretty much. People seem to like they like the tangents. But
8:46
Andrew JP says he followed up standing appreciate the Dan doing guy going to the
8:48
teen seasons as open minded as possible, but there's genuine love and nostalgia for
8:52
the Golden seasons. By comparison and listening to the South Park Pod going down
8:56
to South Park, check it out if you haven't already, you can.
8:58
Definitely all the boys loved doing all the voices as much as reviewing the episodes.
9:01
Yeah, that's right, Andrew, that's right, Andrew, check out.
9:09
Honestly, if you don't like South offa still check out going down to
9:11
South Pike. It's we have so much fun doing that show. We're in
9:13
season five now, which is just like season four Simpsons, It's unbelievable.
9:18
If you don't like South Pike, but you do, like Dan dol Guy,
9:20
definitely check it out. Tellia Enriquez, how would you say your methods
9:24
of analysis has evolved throughout your years of reviewing. What do you find yourself
9:28
focusing on now more than ever? What sort of touched on the previous question
9:31
where we're definitely trying to improve the episodes now, Yeah, we do go
9:37
in with an open mind. We don't. There are some podcasts out there
9:39
that's going and just hate watch, and I've never understood the hate watching.
9:43
I saw a clip of of Kevin Smith on Michael Rosenbaum's podcast, because Jim
9:46
Cummings went on his podcast last week, recorded last week. Yeah, so
9:50
I saw a clip from that podcast where he's talking about He asked him,
9:54
why don't you really critique things any morning? He goes, I nearly died,
9:56
like you know, I had a heart attack or whatever it was.
10:00
And I was fucked up last year like mentally as well. So I sort
10:01
of realized why I hate watch things. I'm just gonna watch things that I
10:05
enjoy and tell everybody why I love it. So I think you've just you've
10:09
got to go in with a positive mindset or you're just gonna drive you.
10:11
There is a niche market out there for people who just want to listen to
10:15
people hate watch the things that they don't like either. I'm sure there's a
10:18
market for its. Progressing is a big one, right, people always hate
10:20
watching. I don't want to be that guy. I don't want to be
10:22
the guy going and this is shit. And this is why we go in
10:24
with a try to more constructive criticism. Sometimes reramped me go it annoys me
10:30
because it feels like it was so much if you just thought about it for
10:33
a little bit longer, you could have given something a bit better storyline wise.
10:35
But a lot of the time we go into this going, look,
10:39
we get it. You know, season nineteen there's going to be it's not
10:43
gonna be as good as season four. But we still try to critique it
10:46
in a way that feels somewhat constructive. The word criticism, I mean,
10:50
it's not necessarily sledging. People tend to think that, you know, oh,
10:54
you're being so critical, that that's a shorthand for just oh you hate
10:58
it. Critic Criticism is critical thinking. It's analysis. You know, you're
11:03
trying to understand what works and what doesn't, and then express that I don't
11:07
know, maybe back in the day, when there was say a lot less
11:11
content around, it would be valuable to get. This is why this doesn't
11:16
work. This is why you shouldn't be spending your hard earned money on this
11:18
and maybe wait for it to come to television or come to video or whatever.
11:22
Particularly you're talking about movies. Now, there's just so much stuff that
11:26
yeah, it's it's I want to say it's easier for people, but it
11:30
is. Man, well it is to say, Look, I think I'm
11:33
just gonna focus on what's good out there because there's so much stuff. It's
11:35
like if I'm not mentioning something that means don't don't waste your time. Well,
11:41
the thing is I've never got You see comments online fandom is just a
11:45
shit show these days, but you often see it, really is it.
11:48
It's kind of fucking depressing. You see comments going I can't wait to hear
11:52
someone so round about this. Why why why do you find somebody's joy?
11:56
I mean, do what you want, but how do you find joy out
11:58
as watching I can't hear this person ship on something that I don't like either,
12:03
just don't watch it, don't. I don't mind that every once in
12:05
a while. I mean I I we sent me there, I sent down
12:09
to a link last night to someone who really took issue with the documentary?
12:13
Is it the problem with that poo? They took issue, but they everything
12:16
they broke down was right, like it all made sense what they were breaking
12:20
down. Oh you mean the person who made the video? Yeah? Right,
12:22
yeah, what what they was saying? You can't watch that video and
12:26
go, oh, you're wrong. It's like, well, they're pretty spot
12:28
on, and also they're really funny with it. I had no idea who
12:33
this woman was beforehand, but she just came up in algorithm. Okay,
12:37
this sounds kind of interally, and she just went to down. It was
12:43
really entertaining. Now, at the same time, you've got a lot of
12:46
people who I don't think the current term is your as grifters, that's definitely
12:52
the thing, who are saying going to make a buck somehow, right?
12:54
Yeah, yeah, I mean I'm not going to know names, but you
12:56
know, invariably you go through YouTube, you're gonna find work question mark on
13:01
their on their thumbnails or whatever. And yeah, they're taking issue with just
13:05
about everything, and for particular reasons. People love it, and some people
13:09
love that. I mean, I'm almost I can't call it lazy because clearly
13:13
some effort has gone into it. But at the same time, it's not
13:18
lazy in effort, but it is a little bit lazy in thinking. Yeah,
13:20
I mean, I it's not it's not criticism, it's that that's just
13:26
quote unquote criticism. I will say that I truly believe that when you and
13:31
I go off on a tangent rant wise with the show now with the Simpsons,
13:35
it's for a reason. And I think if anyone who listens to the
13:37
show would probably agree to the most part with what we're saying, I would
13:41
like to hope. So, I mean, you know, we're like your
13:43
parents in that regard. We're not man, we're just disappointed. Yeah,
13:46
and I will very rarely get properly angry at the show. Well, I
13:50
think there's a reason that, you know, our friends and patrons, Oh
13:54
it's another Simpsons Safari or so you know that's the gold stand for you.
14:00
Oh is he gonna find it like that? That was a few episodes.
14:01
I mean that was like how many seasons ago? Was that seventeen Citi Safari?
14:05
Yeah? Thirteen? Yeah, it's like five seasons ago. Okay,
14:11
I've lost all track of Let's have a look. And that's the problem with
14:13
the Simpsons teen era. It just feels like an all one big blur,
14:16
doesn't it. Yeah, Simpsons Safaris have a look, But we're going back.
14:20
There was season twelve episodes seventeen, so now we're going back that far.
14:24
That was like four years ago. I yeah, I thought of that.
14:26
Yeah, and that's sort of like my standup for like, oh God,
14:30
did not like that. I wonder if it's going to be like that
14:31
again. I mean, clearly, I haven't been too angry at too much
14:35
in the in the interim, and I don't think you have either. I
14:37
think I for me, my Simpsons Afari is one Way Home was drunk?
14:41
Oh yeah, what was it? Codependence Day? Yes, yeah, it
14:45
was like that. You really did not like that at all? Okay,
14:50
next question, let's get to our next question here comes from Alissa Catherine Alyssa
14:54
says, are there any Simpsons phrases you find yourself saying? Completely out of
14:58
content? Next? I very often find myself randomly singing comic book Guy's Little
15:03
Song from They Save Lisa's Brain. I am smart, much smarter than you.
15:07
Your burnt. Any Simpsons lines that you say added context, I say,
15:11
just gonna put my shoes on. Nearly every time Nichola says that you're
15:15
ready, that's in context. Out of context, not too sure. I
15:18
think anytime I'll open like a new pack of tortillas and it's got their little
15:22
moisture absorbed, some things in there. Yeah, every time I see one
15:24
of those that like it falls out of the bag. So because of me,
15:28
they have a warning. No one else in the house, or you
15:33
know, when I go into the anytime I go into the car park at
15:37
Coles, the one in Shannon Avenue, which is just the worst design car
15:41
park. It's horrific. It's terrible. It's like it was designed a fucking
15:43
mc yeah shaw. Most car parks of ship though, Oh yeah. The
15:48
one further down the road in Shannon Aving in the corner of Shannon Abydeen just
15:52
as bad. But it feels like listeners that basically they built the coals and
15:56
went, oh shit, we could book car parks as well. Quick find
16:00
space somewhere. Everyone goes across the street and parks at Aldi, which is
16:04
a much better designed car park. But anytime I park in there and I
16:08
get out, and I sort of like I'm in the lines, you know,
16:11
like I go tell your mom every time, go tell your mama sull
16:18
hear about this, but just checking out, like I'm not a dreadful Parker,
16:23
and you know, I'm making sure that I'm coloring inside the lines.
16:26
I'm inside of the lines. I like it. Tell them up. I
16:30
do say yes a lot as well, mean grats probably in context, but
16:37
yeah, but what was that? What already whatever said the word? Yes?
16:41
Yes? And I think I've had occasions when i think I've done something
16:45
really well that I'll just pull the old open door and go, I'm a
16:48
triple threat. You do say triple threat at yeah, by apologies to everyone
16:53
listening. Keith Adam, How does Keith for a while? Have we get
16:57
him? Keith Adam? Yes, how does it feel to be the kings
17:00
of Australia. I'm thinking of something like this and he's put a gift of
17:03
solid gold, Homer. We are not the Kings of Australia. That's that's
17:06
King Charles, sort of the kings of this household. Yes we are.
17:10
We are merely serfs to the queens in our life. Yes we are,
17:14
indeed, James Daniel, But thanks man, that's a real nazogo boost absolutely
17:18
cracked. Question from a Tasmanian migrating to your neck of the woods. What
17:22
advantages does Geelong have over say Melbourne, which I could also afford, depends
17:27
what you like. Do you like city life because yeah? Or do you
17:30
like regional city life because I mean Geelong's a city. Yeah, it's the
17:36
city greater Gelong. It actually says that in the council lamp there's definitely growing.
17:40
Now if you city on the ground, do you prefer If you prefer
17:42
to go to a cafe and just sort of have a coffee and not have
17:45
to drive and to sort of get here, there and everywhere and have that
17:48
city lifestyle, then Melbourne's for you. But if you like to got packer,
17:51
we've got We've got plenty of cafes in Geelong. But if youre also
17:52
like the beach life as well, and just more freedom to not have to
17:56
feel like you it's just the the it's the amount of people in Melbourne that
18:00
gets me on this. It's just people everywhere all the time. You don't
18:03
feel like you can go down anywhere without being surrounded by a bunch by a
18:07
mob of people. So if you don't like people, I would go to
18:10
Geelong. Yeah. My line has always been, and I've probably said this
18:12
in the past on the show, Geelong has everything you need and anything you
18:18
want is not far away. Yeah, yeah, I mean everything you need
18:22
is in Geelong in terms of like there's good eateries, a good sort of
18:26
social scene, a bit of a cultural kind of thing. It's got.
18:32
It's got everything you need in that regard. And if you want a little
18:33
bit more then yeah, Melbourne is less than an hour away depending on the
18:37
traffic. And yeah, as Danna said, we got got the surf coast,
18:41
got beaches. People are saying that Geelong's gone to shit, but I
18:45
honestly feel like Gelong right now is at that point where you know it seems
18:48
to go city on the grow. It feels like we're growing right again.
18:52
That's not a phrase that I also a city on the grow. Every city
18:57
has its shit aspects, right, it really does. Now. It feels
19:00
like we're in a transitional face. It feels like there is a bit of
19:03
development going on. Certainly in the in the CBD, there has been knocking
19:07
that shit down and rebuilding it. A bit of proper development going on.
19:08
Hopefully they're able to figure out something to do with it. It's not just
19:11
a matter of realizing that Geelong's it's not just Geelong, it's the whole nature
19:18
of commerce has changed as well. There's a lot less need for bricks and
19:22
mortar kind of shops, which is unfortunately. I mean I like the shopping.
19:25
I like going in and just holding it in my hand. First.
19:27
Yeah, but I think it's going to become a bit more boutique. But
19:30
if you want that, in Geelong, we've got Packing the Street which is
19:33
full of great shops and boutiques and cafes and all that kind of business.
19:37
The city not so much. But it's Packing the closest to a Melbourne sort
19:40
of cafe style street. Absolutely. Yeah, but the city is hopefully making
19:44
a bit of a comeback in the regard. So James by means, come
19:48
to Geelong will make you more than welcome. You know what it does have
19:49
over Melbourne, Guy and Dando, that is good. We'll buy you a
19:53
coffee, we'll lend your money for a coffee, and we'll make your parents
19:57
way out the front of two hours, poor old Katieg's folks. But ask
20:03
Katieg she I think she had a nice time which game to Geelong? Yeah,
20:07
Gelong is has a bad rap. I think a lot of the bad
20:08
rap is just from a reputation exists of twenty years ago. It's also from
20:11
people who live in Geelong. Yes, you know, you only hurt the
20:15

20:48
question, we're gonna have to go listen to other podcasts. It's just yeah,
20:51
Harrison Appleby is actually clever. Good on Harrison Appleby, do you have
20:56
w riz? I'm down with what the kids are saying these days. I'm
21:03
assuming this means winner's charisma. I don't know. I'm not down with the
21:07
kids. That's lost on me. Riz is short for charisma. Okay,
21:12
the best of my understanding, let's google w whiz whiz w rizz This how
21:18
wiz means something? I'm so old I have to google what slaying is now
21:21
streaming on Twitch? Seeing that would use the term riz and development of other
21:25
phrases such as w rizz to describe a person's winning or losing abilities of attracting
21:29
or chatting up potential love interest. Oh so this well, Dan and I
21:33
have already, you know, just got happily married of Bush three Pointersteen.
21:37
It's happy married of eleven years, two kids. Nicholas seems still content.
21:41
The lovely Lewis and I've been together for five and a half years. Did
21:45
you have a good game when you were younger? Though? Good game when
21:48
they came to China flat with girls and that kind of thing. Apparently I
21:52
could be quite charming, I seem to have. I'm one of those guys
21:56
who was oblivious so so many girls to friends of the past. Since being
22:00
married, nickol have gone, I was like hot for you. I had
22:03
to think to you, and you just never made a move. And I
22:04
was like, oh yeah, I'm talking about want to say, a bunch
22:08
of girls, but I'm thinking like at least ten girls of the past of
22:11
going if you wanted me, you could have had me. And like you
22:14
just never made a move. I was like, oh shit, Oh yeah,
22:17
the girl that I had a major crush on in high school years years
22:22
later, I always thought you were cute, but you know you you were
22:27
just too too perfect, well not too perfect, but too good to be
22:32
two sort of like that. And they always they always say to me,
22:36
I just really thought you were interested because you never made a move, or
22:40
she thought that I was sort of out of a league or something. I'm
22:42
like, what go you had your damn adam my league? Have you seen?
22:48
But as me as I tend to say, like, I'm terrible engaging.
22:52
If anyone has any interest in me romantically or sex, you would have
22:55
to strip naked. Well, I remember there's one there is one girl,
23:00
another girl called Katie. She was like, I don't think I could have
23:02
been any more obvious. Well, or what you to do was take your
23:04
shirt off and touch me. Otherwise I had no idea. I just I
23:07
just go out and have a good time. I picked up girls and whatnot.
23:11
But I just saw a lot of my girlfriends as just my friends.
23:15
And I'm like, oh, they never gonna be interested in me. I
23:15
just never saw them that way. But they go we DAEs with all the
23:18
time because we want to go in with you. I'm like, oh shit.
23:22
So I guess the answer is, yes, we had w rizz,
23:25
but we had the ability to. I just never took full advantage of it.
23:29
I guess you could say unconsciously we had w rizz. Yeah. Yeah,
23:32
these days we don't need it all right, Next question, it's on
23:36
hold, it's on pause, Sam Noddy Bennett. What's a diorama? Okay,
23:41
so how would you describe a diorama? Let's take this somewhat witty banter
23:45
and turn it into an actual question. Well, so it's an art project,
23:47
a diorama. So basically it's just, yeah, you're making a scene
23:51
in physical form. Did you ever make dioramas in three dimensional physical form?
23:55
Did you ever make dioramas? Never? Do? It feels like you watch
23:56
American shows. It feels like the diorama contest seems to be a regular yeah.
24:00
The thing that I remember in sort of semi in relation to this was
24:04
back in grade six, we were given this. You had like a big
24:08
project every term, and this one was you had to do like a three
24:15
dimensional map of it, not a three dimensional but a map of Australia sort
24:19
of using plaster. And it was to terrifying. It was tough, man.
24:26
And then you know, it was one where you had to bring your
24:26
parents in and all that kind of shit. Mine was ugly as hell,
24:30
geographically completely inaccurate. Uh. And I've forgotten who did this one, but
24:36
someone brought on in them that was like, holy shit, you did not
24:40
make that? Yeah? Did you not? Even did your parents help you?
24:42
Did you outsource that? Shit? It's fucking professional and there's no need
24:48
for it, isn't it. I feel like if I was a tea shirt,
24:49
I would go, you're gonna lose points because this is too good.
24:52
I know you're fucking you're twelve. You didn't make this. I can vividly
24:56
see it in my mind's eyes, like, holy shit, that's good.
24:59
Yeah, mine was ugliest sin. It's not about what it looks like.
25:03
No, No, I was exactly what it looks like. I was I
25:07
was Lisa with foam, rubber and an orange. You're a monster. I
25:12
was a monster. You went Florida. Yeah, is that a state?
25:18
Jack McCarthy, what's your favorite lizard? Oh? I think they go to
25:23
for kids in Australia is either the blue tongue lizard or the frill neck lizard.
25:30
I've never seen a frill neck lizard. No, with its frills out
25:33
at least anyway. It would be like saying the loss of raptor. Someone
25:37
sayurus Delosaurus, the one in Joicy part Delfasaurus with the frill neck that spits
25:44
in Nidis. Always you said a loss of raptor. I was mixing up
25:48
my day, Yes, mixed up my Dana thought it. Yes, my
25:52
favorite lizard. Does Kimmodo dragon fall under the they're terri fine, Yeah,
25:57
apparently they're. They they eat people what you can't get away, and they
26:04
climb trees, they swim. Also just a history's greatest monster, but they're
26:11
more terrified than hippos. They can climb trees, for get Jimmy Carter.
26:14
Yeah, the Kimmodo dragon history is great monster. Also just badass name.
26:18
Yeah, Kimodo drag Kimoo. What the yeah, the commodos coming. I
26:22
went to the word Zoo recently. Yes, And there's hippos in the water
26:26
and you can see behind the glass and I'm looking at this thing going.
26:30
You argue with the scariest thing I've ever seen in my life. You know,
26:33
you see videos of them chasing boats. Oh yeah, they're so fast.
26:36
Imagine making one of those boats. It's like the boats with a fan
26:38
on the back, and there's a hippo chasing after you. I would shit
26:41
my pants. Yeah. I saw a video of the day of two lines
26:44
enjoying some nice time in the water. All of a sudden, hippo.
26:47
Yeah, and they run. Simba is terrified. Yeah, faster, faster,
26:52
faster, shot hits the hits the bricks man. Yeah, it's yeah,
26:56
Hippos are terrifying. Also, not a lizard, but our favorite lizards.
27:00
Well, Dano is very far from the frill neck and I like a
27:03
Komodo drake. Yes, Philip Hawkins, what's your favorite appearance by a Simpsons
27:07
cast member in a film? My go to is always Dan Castlenetta in Space
27:12
Jam Michael is killing us. I also enjoy the three members in Godzilla.
27:18
You get Nancy, Harry, and and Hank and Hank's iconic, the iconic
27:23
moment of the foot very much. So, yeah, introducing all the trailers
27:26
and gosh, look, Harry. She has done so much great stuff.
27:30
I really dig him in The Truman Show where he's the of course, yeah,
27:34
uh huh uh huh huh, fantastic. He's also in Airheads, isn't
27:41
he? I believe so, isn't he one of the djas. It's Airhead
27:45
where he goes uh huh uh huh because he's getting the songs ready and they're
27:47
in the room with him. John is in the ads as well. I
27:52
like Hank get a lot of stuff. I really are Julie Cabnet in a
27:56
lot of movies. I don't know any that she's in what he's done a
27:59
few Woody Allen movies which I thought she was really good. Found that in
28:02
the world, So that's correct cancelation. What else has she been in?
28:08
But I feel like she wasn't in anything big post nineties? Really was she
28:11
nine? She was in a movie called This Is My Life that was done
28:17
by I was directed by Nora Efron, who wrote When Harry Met Sally and
28:22
directed Sleepless in Seattle. I think it's got the fron name on it,
28:26
and I think she's it's a bit like it's a bit of a precursor,
28:29
like the Marvelous Missus Maizel. I think she's playing like a stand up comedian.
28:32
And I only vaguely remember it, but I just remember thinking, Hey,
28:34
they have Julie Cavill like a lead role. I'm gonna be out some
28:37
of her films or National Lampoon's movie Madness, Bad Medicine, Hannah and her
28:42
sister's Radio. Well that's what Allen. You haven't Yeah, and oh yeah,
28:45
she's the she's the mum in in Radio Day Surrender, New York Stories,
28:49
Awakenings, Alice Awakening. She's really good. Yeah, Awakenings is lovely.
28:56
Have you ever seen that? No, that's Robert Nero and Robin Williams
28:59
and based on this true story. Yeah, yeah, about there was this,
29:06
damn it. I forgot the technical. We're gonna say brain doctor,
29:07
yeah, uh, neurologist and named Oliver Sacks. And he was a drip.
29:15
He was drink doctor and a very interesting character. And he did some
29:18
research where you had these people who had I was locked in syndrome, but
29:22
they were basically catatonic but sort of not lying down in a coma. But
29:27
yeah, they were unresponsive and did some kind of drugs where it woke this
29:33
guy up. And Robert de Niro plays the guy who's basically been incapacitating on
29:36
his life and he wakes up and it's like and Julie cap and mean roile.
29:41
Robin Wims is the doctor and he's kind of a bit repressed. Julie
29:44
cavn' is the nurse who likes him, but he can't really make a move
29:47
on. They've got this really sweet love story. It's very, very nice.
29:49
Julie cavn is fantastic. Awakenings. Awakenings. Oh, I hate it
29:53
when there are movies that you know are good but you forget exist. And
29:56
that's one of them. Awakenings. You've sold me on it, but you
30:02
saw me when he said to Nero and fucking yeah Williams, holy shit,
30:07
it's funny. I mean, yeah, it's a movie that it was just
30:10
post dead Poets Society for wrong Williams. So he was on a bit of
30:12
a run of doing dramatic stuff. Yeah, he had Yeah, late eighties,
30:17
early nineties, he was, Yeah, I had a really good run.
30:18
All right, final question here from the patrons favorite lesser known Australian creature.
30:23
Lesser known. Everyone knows about the spiders, right or the dangerous ship
30:27
snakes, koalas EMUs, kangaroos. Do people know about the bilbie? No?
30:34
Maybe not the quackerer. Everyone knows that quacker because it's always so happy.
30:38
It's a selfie animal. Yeah, yeah, n Maybe the platypus is
30:44
well known, of course, but I don't think people know that the platypus
30:45
is exactually venomous. No ship, is it really? I believe. So
30:48
I'm about to take kids to see some platypuses. We've going up to a
30:51
holiday dad, and I was going to the Hillsville Sanctuary, a good place.
30:53
Yeah, don't let the kids hold the platypus, however, but I'm
30:56
pretty sure. Let's just do a quick bit of giggling the platypus. You
31:00
looked at it, and you go it almost looks like a mistake. Oh
31:03
yeah, very much. Designed by committee. Platypus poison, Where does it
31:08
come from? Their feet? The platypus is one of the few living mammals
31:12
to produce venom not the Tom Hardy movie the venom has made the venom glands.
31:18
Funnily enough, they are connected to hollow spurs on their hind legs.
31:21
Sometimes I must have known it was primarily made during the mating season. I
31:25
don't know. While the venoms effects are described, is extremely painful. Sorry,
31:30
let me do that again. I want to do it in Bain voice.
31:33
The venoms effects are described, is extremely powerful for you or you it
31:38
is not lethal to humans. Thank you for asking that question so I could
31:42
do a Bane impersonation. Do you think they look back and they regret having
31:45
him do that voice? I don't think they regretted at all. Over When
31:51
I first watched the movie, because I didn't watch any trailers, were in
31:53
blind and when he started speaking that way, get the fuck out of here,
31:56
I thought it was fantastic. I thought it was such a great choice.
32:00
Any Tom Hardy voice choice, I reckon, They're always great. I
32:04
know. I was just seeing Bain as just this monster. O you,
32:10
that's fantastic. It's so unexpected. I'm not laughing at it, It just
32:15
it just caught me off. Go. Yeah, there's there's a video going
32:20
around with him and Andy Serkis, and someone asked him about what's the inspiration
32:22
of the Bain voice? And there was like some bare knuckle boxer. It
32:25
was like a romany gypsy or something like that, and it's like, oh,
32:29
I drew inspiration from him. And then they played the guy's voice like
32:31
that didn't really sound like you're bane, though he's got the cadence is a
32:35
bit late. The thing about is get into a fight and do some boxing.
32:38
Yeah, that sounds more like the guy from Showgun and all honesty.
32:42
But yeah, you can see he took it and just ram with it.
32:45
But oh, I love that. It would have been great if that wasn't.
32:49
Actually Tom Hardy was like Christopher Nolan just did a dub letter on just
32:52
you Now kids got punked Tom No Learner. That's just a great line though,
33:02
And I bet I think the for you one, yeah they take that
33:07
off, will you Die would very extremely preparing for you're a big guy for
33:10
you all? And then you were just the uh what did someone say?
33:17
It's like it's the voice you expect from a cartoon warris. I'm wearing a
33:23
torop hat stage left. Oh love doing the Bain voice. Stop me from
33:30
doing it? Though? What was I can't remember platypus, Yeah, platypus.
33:36
But I feel like people know about platypus. Maybe they don't. It's
33:38
Kyla and kangaroo and emy kiler and kangaroo still a line like don't they Yeah,
33:43
I think they tend to be the ones that, yeah, people know
33:45
about it. At the same time, there's always a bit of surprise to
33:47
it that you know, Kohilas are just high all the time because oh they're
33:51
so gentle and fluffy, like they're stone yeah, or kangaroos are just buff
33:57
alpha dudes who like to get on the the videos of get on the yeah,
34:00
yeah, like real chats. Yeah, just showing off those tops of
34:07
the small You wouldn't be surprised they had like a tattoo of the Southern Cross.
34:12
So, I mean, I always won that interesting about Australian pauner.
