  Speaker 1: wouldn't really interest you. I saw that you sent a
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: link to this, and I was like, I'm not clicking
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: on that.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: You're clicking on it. It was a real So the
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: headline is a real sort of what do you call it?
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Bait the Simpson.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: That's what headlines are designed for. Man.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the Simpsons boss gives update on heavily rumored Project Revival.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: That's what's the project revival?
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Revival? What is it?
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: And it turns out that it's going to be Simpsons
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Hit and Run. So they haven't officially announced it. I
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: think this is one of those things where the Simpsons
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: creators or careers, but the people who work in the show,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: they know, if we want to get in the news,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: just drop some sort of like nugget of he could
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: hear me, and then everyone's like, oh shit, it could
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: happen because the Simpsons Hit and Run, as you would
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: be aware, I've made you well aware obviously, is the
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: most beloved Simpsons game of all time. In my opinion,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: everyone loves it. It's still my favorite game of all time.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: I just I love going back to it. Elliot Love
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: was playing it because he's walk around Springfield kicking people.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: Greatest day of He's love when he first discovered that
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: that little thing your child sounds like a psychopath. He
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: is a psychopath. Yes, that's why it loves us so much.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: But the Simpsons Hit and Run could possibly be getting
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: a remake or a sequel, who knows, but it's.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: What would you want out of Hit and Run twenty
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: twenty six.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: I would want a remake but also a sequel. I
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: know it would require double the work, but if you
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: can do the remake first and then with the remake,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: say at the end of it all, have it like
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: think saying, by the way, there's a sequel coming up,
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Think people would be super pumped, So you'd.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Want to force awakens it kind of thing you'd want
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: to Yeah, you'd want more of the same and then more.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah and yeah, because I think the first game is
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: just so good, it'd be great to be able to
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: just I think a younger audience would be would find
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: it great to discover the original game. I think a
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: lot of older viewers and older fans like myself older
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: game I'm not a game, but older fans like myself
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: would love to be able to just put the game
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: in and play it with their kids. That's what were
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: was Crash Bandicoop. Where they did was they released a
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: new Crash bandicoot, but before they released that they did
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: a remake of the original trilogy of the Crash Bandicoot
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: game is one, two, and three, and my kids loved that.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Because they love that, They're like, can we play the
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: new one? So I think if they can remake this one,
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: people will by Oh my god, it's that game I
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: love when I was like when I was younger. They
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: play it with their kids, their kids fall in love
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: with it, they fall in love with the Simpsons, and
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: they go, I can't wait for the next one.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: So basically, you got sucked in by capitalism. Yeah. Yeah,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: that's all of us. And the amazing writing of Matt
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Salmon for the Simpsons game. He wrote the game, primarily
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: the amazing running.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: I think it's just funny how people like Matt Salmon,
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: you know, twenties two thousand and three, So twenty three
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: years ago, like write this Simpsons game. He's like, fuck,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: do I have to I'm already write in the show. Okay, sure,
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: he's writing this video game. This is before video games
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: were sort of really what they are today, right fully.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Immersive spirit experence.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: So he's just writing this Simpsons game, and twenty three
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: years later, everyone's.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Like, it's the greatest given. It must be sort of
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: because at the.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Time, there's no way he wrote this game thing and
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: this is going to be twenties from now one of
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: those blove of games of all time.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: No, he probably not that he would dash it off
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: or anything like that, but yeah, there are some things
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: you think, oh, this is what I'll be remembered for.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: This is my legacy. Something is like, well, good ching,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: I'm getting paid and that's that.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: And it's sort of depressing as a fan because you've
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: put so much love and you admire this piece of
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: work that when the person who created it doesn't No,
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: they don't care about that.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: It's like it was just the thing I did. You're like, oh, yeah,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: but it means so much to me. Oh of course, yeah.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: I think we've all had that. I mean, you and
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: I have both spoken to our share of creative people
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: over time. Hey, you know what really means a lot
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: to me is that and they'll be like that's all right. Yeah,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: well it reminds me.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: We recently spoke with Jake Cogan, former Simpsons writer, for
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: our review of Last Exit the Springfield, which will be
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: available in your feeds next week, but he is numerous
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: times rate the podcast. I would bring up to him saying,
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: how this gag it's so memorable, like the plane, this
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: needs braces or something something else like that, and he'd go, yeah,
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: I think I wrote it. He maybe someone else wrote.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: I was like, no, big, take credit, take credit. Yeah,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: just lie to us and say, you know, it was
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: the middle of the night to come up with the
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: best gag ever. Phila really, Philly really felt the tension
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: as soon as I felt the pen hit the pages, like, yes,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: I've done it, another triumph. I needed something of what
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: was it was? Pencil in the butt crack, That's what
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: I needed. But it goes yeah, yeah, I think we
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: wrote it. Maybe someone else too. Sure, Yeah, So I
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: guess what we're trying to say is you disappointed, but
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: you certainly did not serve. It was a great interview.

  Speaker 1: style like like an idiot.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Crandall yeah, but it's just this is this is one

  Speaker 2: of the guys who when you think of Simpsons Mount Rushmore's,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: he's sort of the ones, one of the ones there
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: for sure. Like you come, you've got probably Matt Groening,
• 12:29

• 12:37
  Speaker 1: has four.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Heads because because Jim Brooks, he he sort of he's
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: an icon of Hollywood, not necessarily just the Simpson. I
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: would love to get him more obviously to talk about

  Speaker 2: Do you want to a former assistant down?
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Now? You probably a fire?
• 14:02

• 14:03
  Speaker 2: was like, do I email and do I knock? This
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: seems like a private email. I just went for him, like, hey, West,
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: you can ignore it or just say no. I was like,
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: I said, I got this from so and so, and
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: he's like, yeah, sure, sounds great, let's do it.
• 14:14

• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Dan has been clearly doing this for a while, even
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: if he's not using the name, but something called What
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: the Hell Wednesdays or if you want to be a
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: little crew at WTF Wednesdays, where it's just like it's

  Speaker 1: shoot your shot day. You know, you put together you
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: locate the email or contact details for someone that you
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: want to be associated with, somebody you want to be
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: in business with, someone you want to talk to, someone
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: you want to write for, et cetera, et cetera. Put
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: together a terrific email and you just send it out
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: into the ether. It's like, what happens.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: It happens, and a ten never get back to you,
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: but two do, yeah, guaranteed. One leads to money, one
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: leads to a fun time, one leads to who you
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: be emailing.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: But what then't you anyway?
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: But yeah, interviews coming up, Yeah, would have been one
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: of something more entertaining episodes with reviews so far since
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: the last Male Bag, What mean some of your favorite
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: podcasts we've done. I was very happy with some of
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: the South Parks we've talked about. Yeah, because we've just Yes,
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: we've wrapped.
• 15:13

• 15:22
  Speaker 1: of fun as well. That wasn't good, But yeah, wrapping
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: up season nine. I mean, even if I think the
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: last episodes of season nine wasn't that great, Bloody Mary,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: it was fine. It was fine. I think we had
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: some interesting things that we could talk about with in
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: that probably more controversial than sure, but it was good
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: spirited conversation between the two of us. Yeah, So I
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: know I've enjoyed our South Park chats. I've really enjoyed
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: some of the interviews we've done. I mean we've been
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: very very fortunate and speaking with some very interesting creative
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: people who have been very generous with their time, given
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: us a two powers, a bit of a peek behind
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: the curtain, and you know, I've got some terrific anecdotes,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: some unexpected anecdotes. Yeah, no, it's it's been good times
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: all around. I mean, I'm not that I'm I should

  Speaker 1: be playing favorites here, but listen to all of these interviews.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: I mean it's good banter between us and them, and
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: you'll you'll have fun and you'll learn a little something too.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: As I like to say, we said we're going to
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: answer some questions, didn't we Hey, we did say that. Yes,
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: all right, So let's get the first one up here
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: from the mail bag. The email it is mail bag
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: at four finger discount dot com dot au Kelsey Cratic, Hey,
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: Daniel and guy, my name, my name is Kelsey. I've
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: been a long time listener from Sweden. I love that
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: from Sweden.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: What's up, Kelsey? Yeah.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: Firstly, I just want to thank you for the hours
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: of entertainment you've given me. It's been like hanging out
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: with friends on my commute to and from work. A
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: lot of people seem to listen to the show to.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: And from work.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Okay, get some, get some ready for work, or it's
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: like their final bit of paradise before they enter the office.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: A little bit of pleasure before the grind. Yeah.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: Speaking of friends, my question is do you think Milhouse's
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: life would be better had he not become friends with Bart?
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: Whilst he seems to be the Robin Twees Batman, I've
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: always seeing them as both needing each other.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Your thoughts, well, yeah, that's a very It's an interesting thought, Kelsey.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: I don't think Millhouse will be better off without but
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: I was thinking about this. Some people are just better
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: or better. You know, they're not alphas. They and they
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: need to be directed by someone who's a little more
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: forcible and charismatics. They're Butters. Yeah, the Butter's Millhouse was
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Butters before Butters was Butters. Correct. I get the feeling
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: if Millhouse did not have someone like Bart in his life,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: he would be very sort of lonely, lonely and insular.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: He'd be I feel like he'd be part of the
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: I can't remember the name of that of their group
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: but where the nerds like that Database and Martin all that.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: He'd be in there, but he'd be almost like the
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: nerdy one of them. He'd just be there because he's
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: no one else likes man is going to join these
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: guys correct.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so Millhouse needs to touch grass as the as
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: the kids say these days, and bart enables that, even
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: if the outcome isn't always great. I get the feeling
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: that when the time comes, you know, Millhou's got a
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: few more miles in the meter, he looks back at
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: his child and he goes, hmmm, bart was the best
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: for to have. But he'll look back at the experiences
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: he had being a night watchman at a factory or
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: something like that, and he'll go, you know what, some
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: of those things were fun. The Cholbyville visit exactly right.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: I get the vinam he will look back and go, hmm,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: they made me who I am today, for better or worse.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: It's interesting because I feel like the perception of bart
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: In particularly evolved as the show went on in the
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: first ten years. At the start, he kind of felt like,
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't say the cool kid, but he was the
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: popular kid, I think, but because he was like the
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: bad boy, and as the show evolved, it was almost
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: like they were. I wouldn't say bart was the popular kid.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: Hen't one of the others, but I think out of
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: all the kids at Springfet, he shd' to be the
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: one that would stand up for himself, and Millhouse needed
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: someone there to back him up because Millhouse is a
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: character who's an easy target for bullies.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: And every school's got them.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: You look at and you're like Holly at school now, Al,
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I see their friends and I'm like, oh,
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: and thankfully that school doesn't seem to have many bullies,
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: if at all. Right, But I don't know, man, nine
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: ninety five, Man, you'd be getting picked on because it
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: just they just look like easy targets.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: This is this looks like a Millhouse. This is a
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: sad fact of life. I mean, yeah, they just they
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: just perceptively just weak. You know. Some kids have got
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: the prey jeene. Yeah, sorry about that. And this is
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: not This is not to say that predators should take
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: advantage of that, don't do it.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: A person like Bart might not be able to defend
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: him physically against someone like Nelson, but he can out
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: outwit the bullies a lot of the time. And maybe,
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: just maybe, because barn is sometimes friends with Nelson and whatnot,
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: that little bit of cred and been associated with Bart
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: means that Millhouse isn't being picked on as much as
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: he sauld unless he says, guess who likes you? And
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: Nelson just beats a share of him. So one of
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: my favorite mill House members of all time. Guess who
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: likes you? Custom Millhouse.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, kid with those eyebrows, he's being destined for trouble.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: But he also does a bit of a bit of
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: a heel esk vibe to him as mel Millhouse when
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: when he's thinking, when things are going his way, he
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: can be an absolute dog.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Well that's the way with all of you, a little
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: bit of a taste of parent of course he's going
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: to exploit it. Yes, well, thank you for the question, Kelsey.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: Thanks Kelsey all the way from Sweden. Yeah, justin Posner.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: This guy's from Peterborough in the UK, which is not
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: far from Nicholas House. Oh yeah, she's in Boston, which
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: is yeah, all part of I think Peterborough is in Lincolnshire,
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: I think, but it's like a thirty to forty minute
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: drive from Nicholas House.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: You might as well be talking about Middle earth Man. Yeah, okay, yeah,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: I think I'm pretty sure.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: When we went to London, we got on the train
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: at Peterborough, which it felt like a half an hour
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: drive from her mum's house. Okay, yeah, it's not far away. Yeah,
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: it's kind of like Peterborough is the worrib to adjalong.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: Thank you for putting it in terms that I understand.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: He says, get a mates. Justin here from Peterborough in
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: the UK.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: I stolen valor Justin. You can't say get a mate,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: of course you can actually Justin.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: And I only recently discovered your show early last year,
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: but I've powered it all the way through to season fourteen,
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: whilst also listening to current episodes as they come out.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Love it. Oh thanks.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: I'm wondering if you think the Simpsons would ever do
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: a crossover with the Muppets. They once had a cameo
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: on Sesame Street, but I think with the Muppets looking
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: like they'll be revived, could we get a crossover short
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: in some way? I think I'll discussed this on Talking
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Muppets with Jaden. We're talking about potential guests and he
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: was saying how having the Simpsons drawn into the Muppet
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: studio would be a fun visual. I think it would be,
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: but it had to be a short though. It couldn't
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: be an episode.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Couldn't be an episode. I am personally not feeling this,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: I like where your head's at, man, but sometimes chocolate
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: and peanut but are better separated. I can understand the
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: crossover with the Muppets and Sesame Street. They're all are
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: they all from the Henson sort of? Yeah? Well spring yep, yeah,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: So they're the same, same but different. The Simpsons and
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: the Muppets, they've got sort of different comic sensibilities, different
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: comic rhythms. I get the feeling we'd hard to make
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: those two coalne you can give it a red hot
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: go by all means. I don't think it's going to,
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: you know, in the world if anything, if anything sort
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: of went wrong.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: But I feel like the Simpsons of the early nineties
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: would fit better because when the kids were more rascals
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: and then just sort of being rascals in the Muppet
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: theater would be a better vibe. But I don't know,
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: because there was episode where, I think it was only
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: a short part of the episod where Katie Perry was
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: a guest star on The Simpsons and they had puppet
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: versions of the Simpsons. Okay, it could be a fun
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: way too, sort of if you had those puppets. They
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: start as drawn in and then sort of like a
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: Watch the Rabbit thing, and then they become puppets because
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: maybe Bunsen and Beaker creates some device that turns them
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: into puppets or whatever, and rich.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: And boundless imagination you have.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: Okay, I'm coming around to your work because uppet episodes,
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: the way they work is they have various acts and
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: songs whatnot, but there's a through line of a story.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: Something's going on backstage or whatever. So maybe the story
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: could be that they're trying to turn the Simpsons back
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: into animated again.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: There you go. Oh, he's just solved.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: It could work anyway, because I think it would be
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: interesting to see Homer with Waldoff and Statler just hanging
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: shit on Fozzy and whatnot.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Well mistaken them for mister Burns.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: Yes, Mark Nelson, Hi, Guy and Dando love the show
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: and always listen on the way to and to and
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: from work.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: We've found our audience, we found our people.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: You might comfort listening after dropping the kids off at
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: school and helped calm my nerves before arriving at the office.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: I'm also a big fan of going down to South Park.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: I was hoping you could set.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: A lot a job if you got Mark that you're
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: nervous where you're going to work. I might be near trafficing.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: He's I've got a reputation to live up to, Mark
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: Nelson mal Jiggli. I was hoping you could settle this
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: dilemma for me. Which season of the Simpsons do you
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: think looks the best? I've always thought Season eight, but
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: my brother loves Season five, which I call the big
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: Eye era, as the character's eyeballs and pupils were huge.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: Please tell me you agree, so that I may finally
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: explain to my brother why he has been wrong all
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: these years. It's personal preferencing, it really is.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: I personally like a little exaggeration in my animation. So Mark,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: your brother is correct and you are one hundred percent wrong.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: You like Season five? Okay? Yeah?
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: Necessarily Season four has more of the big eyes I
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: think than season five, and season five was more natural.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: But I do for me personally, I'm not a huge
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: fan of the look of the Season four s big
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: eyes characters, but it's again personal preference. I think I'm
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: more like a season seven ish Season eight. Maybe it's
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: because they're the episodes that were coming out when I
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: started watching the Simpsons, and it's what I associate the
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: most part, of course with when I'm being a fan
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: of the show. They're my favorite episodes as well, which
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: also helps. But I just think episodes like Summer of
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: four foot two, that's the end of season seven. I
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: just think that year of the show, when it's the
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: Simpsons at night. I remember to put a post on
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: the Facebook page once where it was just screencaps of
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: the Simpsons at Springfield at night. You know, it's just
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: the Quickie mine at two am in the morning and
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: the lights of the neon lights are on, but it's
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: peaceful in the street and stuff like that. I just
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: think the Simpsons visually. For me personally, I think season seven,
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: season eight is my favorite era. But again the probably
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: some people like season three, season two, maybe yeah, they're
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: weirdose the weirdos, No, but the season four, season five.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: Do you think season five is your fan.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: I would say around that era, yeah, when things are
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: it's a little bit more heightened. You look at the
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: first couple of seasons, it's like, this looks pretty rough.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is sort of bleed over from Tracy
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Ormond shorts and that kind of thing. It's not unattractive
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: to look at but it's like it looks so different
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: to what they became. Yeah, let's really take advantage of
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: the of the medium that we're working or the format
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: that we're working in here, and yeah, giving the heads
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: a little bit more size, eyes a little bit more size.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Just as I said, exaggeration of features and things like that.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: You'll notice that when they bring another new carriacters or
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: guest characters look a little more sort of I won't
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: say photo realistic, but look more human or whatever. It's
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: kind of like, this is kind of disconcerting. No, I
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: like that. I like the exaggeration. So I'm going to
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: go with Mark's brother.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: I'm sure younger people would say the Hahdi era probably.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: I mean the Haiti era looks visually, it looks lovely,
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: but it almost looks too clean, too clean, especially the
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: new episodes. Now I'm looking at going as too it's
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: too perfect. You need a bit of scruff and people
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: like they front on Simpson. You ever seen front on Simpsons? Yes,
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: where it's terrifying, very much so. But you know they
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: back then they didn't expect you to be able to
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: freeze frame something, but they had to have the character
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: move their head of course, but I do like the
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: I like the idea of it just being hand drawn,
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: just as that feel of.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I like a little rough around the edges,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: a little dirt under the fingernails.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Okay, let's go to the Patreon mail
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: bay us for some questions here. So this one's from
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: Pete Anderson. I run a small seasonal burger wagon on
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: an island in Maine, USA. This sounds dope and run
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: weekly special was alout bobs Burgers after it by the bay.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: Check out Bob's pods if you're a fan of bobs Burgers,
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: ave aable exclusively on our Patreon. After a few seasons,
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: I'm running out of ideas. Are there any Aussie specific
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: burger combos that I should try to replicate for my customers?
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: What are your favorite flavor combinations on a burger related
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: chicken sandwich combos, French fry combos if I'm next door
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: to the land of Proutine, or other grabbing go foods.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: I spent almost a decade as a public school dining
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: director and have introduced the kids in the community to
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: a lot of fun foreign items. My first foray into
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: Assie food was chicken salt and it's been a huge
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: hit so far. That blows my mind that I have
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: chicken salt overseas. It's like, if you want to win
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: the heart of someone who isn't from Australia, give them
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: some chicken salt.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: That's true. Keep up the good work boys. Thank you
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: from Pete Anderson. Hey, no worries, Pete. Look, congratulations on
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: this burger van. This sounds kind of like my dream.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: What if it's weird because I'm not a fan of it,
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: but I feel like in Australia, whenever you see macas
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: going we're doing the Aussie burger right, all that does
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: they slap a sluice.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: Beet on beetroo? Yeah, I don't like it. I like
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: beetroo on a salad roll, but on a hot burger
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: I don't like it. Yeah, I must admit it's not
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: really my go to No. Yeah, So I don't know
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: how that's become the yes s anonymous with Australia.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: Like did someone at a Fish and Chips or Acces
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: put beetree on a burger once?
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Tonight? This is the doing He's one with the lot. Yeah,
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: because this has really got everything on. It's like we
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: got some beetree. We'd probably throw that in there as well.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: I wonder if that's a term overseas a burger with
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: the lot, one with the lot. It would be some
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: variation of that. But we say burger with the lot.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Don't have friends in the Sound on the East Coast
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: have like the everything bagel okay, yeah, which I think
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: is fairly sort of loaded bagel. But one with the
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: lot sounds very Australian, doesn't it.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: But I feel like if I'm ordering a burger with
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: a lot, it's getting beech, it's getting pineapple, it's getting
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: all this shit.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: That I don't want on my Hamberg. That's true. Yeah,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: I mean back in the glory days of Texas Burgers
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: when it was still open here in Geelong, you know
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: you could get well, you could tailor it the lot
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: to You could do that with just about any place.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: Of course, it's like you want the lot, but you
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: don't want the lot. Give me some tomato, give me
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: some onion, give me some lettuce, bit of cheese in there.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: The staples when you go to like a Souperlaker or
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: a burger place, the staples usually get you usually pay
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: for cheese now extra, but it's always tomato onion. They're
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: the ones that they're the basics, lettuce, lettuce, tomato onion, lettuce,
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: and then you add for cheese, and you add the
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: extras as well. Yeah, but what what sauce you putting on?
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking I'm a garlic Aolie kind of guy. Now
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: are you talking about like for a sublaki or burger
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: for a chicken, a fried chicken burger for it?
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: Oh? No, more like a sort of a hot sauce,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: you kind of hot sauce.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, I'm the opposite. I'm like a huge fan
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: of hot sauce, but I'm more an Aoli guy.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I went to the supermarket last night and Franks,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: the hot sauce people have brought out like a creamy
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: sort of fried chicken sauce, and I'm like, who I'm special,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: better snap that up. Of course it's like ten cents
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: off or whatever. It's like, no, I still got to
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: get it. Yeah, No, it does the trick. A bit
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: of Mayo in there as well. It's some QP mayo.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: They can be quite nice.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: When I think Ozzie Burger, I think I wouldn't but
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: I would not recommend it.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: No, I mean it's not something we necessarily want to
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: push on the rest of the world. I mean, give
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: it a try, But I mean, PiZZ sounds like an
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: adventurous guy. But with these various sides, maybe there's a combination.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: You can mackles pickles. You gotta put pickles in a burger.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, see, I'm not. I've only just sort of grown
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: accustomed to pickles. I've never really liked I was.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: I was the kidd took the pickles off the cheeseburger
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: at Macas. I always did it at maccas, and I
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: still do it at Macas. I don't. I don't really. Yeah,
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: for some reason, my taste Budge has just been accustomed to. Like, no,
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: Maca's burger should taste like this, and I should not
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: get the taste of pickle in there. Maybe in a
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: big Mac, but I don't have a big mak. See
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: my might be my uncle coming.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: Somebody said to me when I was I took the
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: pickles off a Big Mac once, and they said to me,
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: they make it with all these ingredients for a reason,
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: create it the way they make it.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: And I was like fine, I was like, you're right, No,
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: that's actually it. That's pretty smart. I mean, I can
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: understand taken out of a quarter pounder.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: Those people are being paid millions to create accombination of
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: ingredients that it's going to be delicious.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: You think you're smart. But if you're making your own
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: bespoke burger at home, yeah, I think slapping a few
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: little bread and butter pickles in there fantastic. Likewise, of
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: the chicken burger works a treat.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, just try it with Just try your burgers
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: with a slice of beetrip pick one and say that's
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: the ossy versions, the ossy variant.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Indeed, I'm wondering what other sort of ossy things you
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: could put in I've been trying to think of. I mean,
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: when you put pineapple in it, there's usually that. Oh
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: that's that Hawaiian burger joint. Yeah. Do I have hamburger
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: and batters overseas? Oh that sounds like a steamed ham,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: doesn't it. Yeah?
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: And a fish and chip shop staple here is hamburgers
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: in batter and it's just literally just.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: A big thick hamburger. I wouldn't I wouldn't put it
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: past our American friends. I think they tend to deep
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: forry a lot of stuff. When I was in the
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: States a few years ago and went to a state
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: fair or a county fair or something that was amazed
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: by all the sort of food variants in a lot.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: It's like deep frying the hell out of that thing.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Deep frying the deep fryer. Hell yeah, all right, next
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: question here, Andrew Swan, are you prepared to see John
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: Lithgower in a new light once you get around to
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: watching Dexter with Nicholas So I messaged in the other day. Ah,
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: and we're talking about Ricochet. He's like speaking of John
• 31:31

• 31:33
  Speaker 2: you watched Dexter, knows that you have to watch Dexter
• 31:35

• 31:42
  Speaker 2: Andrew Kelly got tagged by a back today that being
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: got shipped on.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: I guess, so just a lot of that got tagged.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: I've never heard that.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: Got any interesting run ins with animals, Andrew Kelly, any
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: interesting run ins with animals?
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: Gosh, I hand feather giraffe at the zoo. Once got
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: a scar above my right eye because a dog attacked
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: me as I was riding my bike home drunk and
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: hit my head on the corner of the gutter and
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: had to walk in and say, man, I fell in
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: my back. I was only I think I was seventeen.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: At the Diamond, I had a couple of beers, a
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: couple of small beers, and yeah, a dog came out
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: of nowhere and snagged my pants and I fell off
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: my bike. Oh yeah, that's an interesting. That's an interesting
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: that dog tagged me. So I've had a funny story.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: We're driving this American and it was a friend of mine.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: So I had a friend over from America who was
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: an aussy and he brought his American friend. He rean
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: driving sort of out in the bushway and we're driving
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: down the highway in the middle of the night and
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: it was like pitch black, and an Emmy ran in
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: front of the car and he had never seen an
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: Amy before, and this American guy in the fact of
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: the car. He goes, what the fuck was that?
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: Oh God, oh shit, I thought these things weren't real.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: And he was like, what the fuck was that? I
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: was like, I don't think the things were really These
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: things like from back in like like years and years ago,
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: but we thought are extinct.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: He was like, shit, go bad. We've got to get
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: footage of it. We've got to get footage of it.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: What pranks.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: But just that initial what the fuck was that? Because
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: think about it, you've never heard of an emu. You've
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: never seen an emu. This giant, fucking fluffy thing on
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: two long legs with a long neck just runs.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: Across the car. They're a weird looking beast.
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it was just like shoom straight in front
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: of the cargo blow, kind of like alien when it goes,
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: and it's just what the fuck was that? I thought,
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: I've got to use this bit and.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Any The other running I had with an animal was
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: when I was at boarding school. A timber top, which
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: is you know, in the mountains sort of it's not
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: necessarily in the bush, but it's bush adjacent. It's walking
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: between classes one day and what comes out of the scrub.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: But a one bat, you know what a one bat is?
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: International lesson is hopefully know what a one mat is.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: Like a cute little marsupial, a little tank on four leggs. Yeah,
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: they're pretty solid. They're pretty solid. I'm like, oh, that's
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: a door. Yeah, then it saw me and it started
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: charging towards me. And I mean, I'm like your American friend.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm like, I'm unfamiliar with a lot of
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Australian fauna.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: I was like, holy shit, just ran away because you
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: don't see these things in the wild very often. There's
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: always underground hiding in their dad.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: And they look very cute, but they're chunky, chunky little monsters. Yeah.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: Indeed, this one's on an anonymous anonymous member eight three.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: I'm turning thirty this year. What life advice wisdom do
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: you wish each of you knew? Which life advice wisdom
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: do you wish each of you knew at thirty? My
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: advice is, I'm gitting that point in my life now.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: I'm giving me thirty eight this year where my mortality
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: is starting to sort of hit me and it's going
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: don't second guess or put things off. If you have
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: the ability to go and go on an adventure or
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: an experience, don't push it off. Just go and do it,
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: because eventually you know you'll have it might be a
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: job that prevents you from go and do something.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Kids.
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: You know, when you have kids, it's prevents you've been
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: able to just get up and go and do something.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: If you have the freedom to do something right now,
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: go and do it.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: Yes, I agree with that. I'll hardly do it now.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: Don't delay.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: And if you're a drinker, cut back on your drinking
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: at an earlier age because it gets harder and harder
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: to get old. I mean, I've never really been much
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: of a drink we I've got a couple of friends
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: who just sort of come to me recently. They're like, Man,
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: I need to come back on my drinking. It's just
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: just hard.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: I'm just so used to.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: I've said a mention. One of my mates has a
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: couple of beers at dinner every night. He's trying not to.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: It's like, it's just difficult.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: It's just bad habits. The longer you let them go, Yeah,
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: routines get programmed into you. Practical advice, go for a run,
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: keep yourself, keep yourself, floss, floss your teeth. Invest a
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: small amount of money in like an index fund or
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: something like that. Every week, just put a couple of
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: bucks in compound. Interest is your friend.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: And buy three books and try and read them this year.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: Read books. Reading is just great for the brain, yep, body,
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: mind and soul. Just you know, find something for each
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: of those and do it on the regular. And one
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: final one here This is from James Tolstrup. He says
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: more of a comment than a question. No need to
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: read this one out if you feel it's too deep.
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: Just wanted to make you guys aware of the profound
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: impact you've had in my life. You've never met me,
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: but you guys were there during some pretty big events
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: for me. I was actually listening to forfing a discount
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: when I got ran over and dragged under a van
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: that plowed through a pedestrian crossing whilst I was on
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: a run. But more importantly, you guys kept me company
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: during lon recuperation, when I was teaching myself to hear
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: and feel pain again. See if you can guess my
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: favorite Sisters episode. I'm now pleased to share that I'm
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: two days from successfully completing a bi clip of Taiwan
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: and you guys are keeping me motivated during this insane headwinds.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: Keep up the good content and thanks for.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: The last while, and navigate life's highs and lows. Cheers James, James,
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: you are and I make this joke a lot but
• 36:54

• 36:56
  Speaker 1: that's great, man. I mean, I'm glad that you are
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: fully recovered. We're glad you're on the bike.
• 37:00
