Now boys, Uh, the network has a problem with some of your lyrics.
0:03
Would you mind changing them for the show? Forgets you clown? Hey,
0:07
our lyrics are like our children. Man, No way, Well okay,
0:11
but here what you say? What I got, you gotta get and
0:13
put it in you. How about just what i'd like is I'd like to
0:17
hug and kiss you. Wow, that's much better. Everyone can enjoy that
0:22
four finger discount. Dude. Welcome to four figure Discant where this week we're
0:42
here to do a very special review of Gone, all the way back to
0:45
the finale of season four. It is an episode that my co host here
0:49
is frequently bringing up one particular line, actually several particular lines. There's many
0:53
famous moments in this episode. It's an iconic one. It is Crusty gets
0:57
canceled. I'm Dando and irom guy. And yes, we are going to
1:00
finally answer the question why is a raven like a writing desk? And he's
1:03
moving his hands together, which means he must be happy? Yeah or on
1:07
cold? No, actually today I'm happy, not as cold today. Dan
1:10
Thau has set the thermost out at a very agreeable temperature. We've both got
1:14
o hoodies on. We're very very happy to you be talking about Krusty gets
1:17
canceled. By the way, why is a raven like a writing desk?
1:19
Quite to Lewis Carroll, the writer of Alice in Wonderland, where it originally
1:26
came from, because it can produce a few notes, although they are often
1:29
very flat. Lewis Carroll not his best work. Not a tight five from
1:33
Lewis tight five from John Swatswater. Though with writing of this episode, Holy
1:38
moly, yes, yes, this is one of his absolute classics. This
1:41
was one of those. This was sort of like the season four equivalent of
1:42
Homer at the Bat. So at the Bat worked so well ratings wise that
1:46
I would have sort of smash out a whole range of guest stars in one
1:49
episode in that one though, though, or a lot of baseball, a
1:52
lot of showbiz luminaries. Yeah, this one's like, Okay, we've got
1:56
a bunch of famous people we were trying to get into one episode, so
1:59
we'd have to sort of fill every episode with a guest star. And I
2:00
thought they the idea of Trusty being canceled was such a simple premise, but
2:04
an effective one to get that done. To get all the guest stars on
2:07
a good reason for them to all be on anyway. Oh yeah, absolutely,
2:09
to do a comeback special and then come back specials. Everybody loves an
2:14
underdog, even in show business. Like you know, we may think your
2:16
time has come and it's time for the hot new model to come in,
2:20
but no, we still like We still like the old gray Man, even
2:23
if she's not what she used to be. So yeah, bring him back
2:24
for another go around. I'm not sure if this was the first time we
2:27
saw the old Jewish Man. I don't think it was one of the earlier
2:30
appearances. At least anyway, he's the one his fans dropped down. That
2:32
is correct. Yes, he went on to become a recurring He was sort
2:37
of liked that. I think when it comes to the retirement home, it's
2:38
grandbad jasper old Jewish guy, right, I think, oh, yes,
2:43
it's just a funny accident. But what did you like the most about favorite?
2:49
But like, what are your thoughts about this episode? Because my memories
2:53
of it were I never really liked it all that much as a kid,
2:55
probably because I didn't know who the guest stars were. For the most part,
2:59
I didn't know who beat Me was. I didn't know who e Lizabeth
3:00
Taylor was. I didn't know who Johnny Carson was as a kid. You
3:02
know. It's just there were these people who were obviously somebody in the Simpsons
3:07
universe, toy, but I thought, who are they? Yeah, I
3:09
get the feeling the people in the writer's room, swartsweld Are and his Ilk
3:13
are very much like Middler, Carson, Hefner. Absolutely, you know,
3:17
a listers and they are and they are certainly not. I think that's a
3:22
difference between a listers and legends maybe. I mean, I think by this
3:25
stage Middler's probably still quite well known. Heffner, of course, is always
3:30
going to be well known. Johnny Carson there's a brand name, but they're
3:34
not necessarily you know, the kids aren't walking around saying, gotta dress like
3:38
Johnny Carson, or you know, oh, I've got to be doing the
3:42
bet Middler challenge on TikTok or something like when did Carson finish nineteen ninety?
3:46
That sounds about right, because this was apparently one of the last times he
3:49
appeared on a TV show after the show finished. Something I really dug in
3:53
doing a little half assed research about this was that they initially wanted Carson to
3:59
be trusty, almost essentially Cruss to wild be kind of a free loader hanging
4:02
out of the Simpson household and mooching off them all. They kind of old
4:05
Gil in kill Gill Volume one or two, and he was like, I'm
4:08
not doing that. I don't know why. It gave him the krusty voice.
4:12
Well, no, no, but it's sort of like the opposite of
4:16
what they did with you know, when Carl Weathers was on Arrested Development and
4:19
he was just the real cheap skate, it was like, gus, do
4:21
you going. Initially when they approached Carl Weathers, it was going to be
4:27
like, oh, we just wanted to do a bunch of Apollo Creed gags,
4:30
and Carl Weathers, to his credit, was like, Nah, I
4:32
don't really want to do anything like that. What if I was really cheap?
4:35
It's like, this is Carl Weathers, this is Apollo Greed, this
4:38
is Dutch from Predator, and he's just absolutely taken the piece out of himself.
4:42
Well, he just knows what's sports comedy, you know he does.
4:44
Indeed, he's Chubbs. Johnny Carson was like, He'll always be Chubbs to
4:47
ninety kids. That's very very true, very true. But yeah, Johnny
4:51
Cars was like, no, still got to be Johnny Carson, and they
4:55
basically rewrote it, so he's like this magnanimous showed his mentor. Honestly,
5:00
I liked it as well. I mean Carson Carson for a reason. He's
5:03
just very pleasant to listen to. His voice is kind of like he is,
5:06
isn't he It's a bit like melted butter. Well, the older I
5:09
got, the more I appreciated and respected Johnny Carson is purely just freezed tars
5:13
as an interview and as a host, right and particularly twenty twenty four.
5:15
You look back in his stuff now and go take me back. No carpal
5:20
karaoke and no miming songs and gimmicks. It's just it's just good conversation.
5:27
It's just chatting to people. Yeah, getting getting the bits in fantastic.
5:30
But you're right in terms of, yeah, you would have had some people
5:33
at this stage going this is not exactly the cream of the crops showbiz wise.
5:39
It's people that my parents really dug. So they very cleverly threw in
5:43
a few newer talents, Bella, Luke Perry, Red Hot Chili Peppers,
5:47
it's like, oh, we recognize them and they have a mix, didn't
5:50
you? You did? Indeed? And they really good sports as well.
5:53
Luke Perry in particular, Yeah, showing up the fact that he's the pretty
5:58
boy dujure look up to Crusty his half brother. Yeah, but look really
6:01
wanting to be part of it, showing a bit of respect for these for
6:04
these showbiz legends at all. But also my face, my valuable face is
6:09
so great creators. No, what I love the most about that sequence was
6:12
just the sound of him going through the glasses. Yes, it was really
6:15
great sound work. Was it was? Yeah, just a prooved for no
6:18
reason, stacking acid but yeah, a great liner. But I think the
6:25
reason I enjoyed it then and I enjoyed it now. I'm always a sucker
6:28
for like behind the scenes showbiz stories, come back stories. Yeah, the
6:32
business of show business as well. Yeah, you're just not on top anymore.
6:36
People don't interesting to Oh I've got to find a way to come back.
6:40
It's like Travolta pulp fiction. Very much. Yeah, I mean he
6:44
was he was not done, wasn't he as a career Chavoulta when that came
6:46
out, But pretty much, Yeah, Geralta was he wasn't cool anymore.
6:49
No, no, because I mean he had, of course his seventies Heyday
6:54
with you know, Greece and Saturday Night Fever, which wasn't that long before
6:58
pulp fiction. It was like within a ten to fift. Well, the
7:00
eighties were kind of a wilderness for him because Greece was seventy eight, right,
7:04
so by night one did pop Fish went ninety two, ninety four was
7:08
ninety four, so give it up. I guess fifteen years is a long
7:11
time. But when you think about it, fifteen years ago from now,
7:13
it was two thousand and nine. Yeah, he didn't feel that long.
7:15
No, that's true. That's true. For to go from where he was
7:16
to that. He was working consistantly, and he had a minor comeback in
7:20
the Lay dadies with Look Whose Talk and that. I love those movies.
7:24
Yeah, and he's really good and it he's like, oh, yeah,
7:26
you're really charming and funny and lose shame here in this talking baby movie that's
7:30
kind of knaff Brice Wills wasn't it though Brucellas was in it. Well,
7:33
he wasn't in it, but he was. You know, the whole story
7:36
about that though initially the baby wasn't going to talk at all. Oh really,
7:41
that's the whole person them. I think we had discussed this. It's
7:43
we that's the selling point, right, I mean the story is based around
7:46
what was it called We Couldn't Talk? It was initially called Daddy's Home,
7:49
that's right. Yeah. The writer director is this woman Amy Heckling. She
7:54
made Clueless and Fast Times originally high. Apparently she got knocked up by Harold
7:58
Ramis, who really didn't want anything to do with ghostbusted. That busted made
8:03
him feel good? Dear did she calls? And she wrote this story about
8:16
finding herself pregnant and alone at a certain age, and yeah, it was
8:20
he just did a runner. I think he acknowledged the child later on in
8:26
life, but initially he was kind of like, this is not really what
8:30
I'm into. I thought we were just having kind of a fling. It's
8:31
not do your research on this, folks. I maybe miss my own one.
8:37
Howard Ramis under the bus. If that's not true yet, who can
8:39
tell? The Internet will tell you. But this is what I've heard anyway.
8:43
And yeah, so she wrote this story about it, and I think
8:46
the studio is like this is good entertaining enough, John t Roller and Cursey
8:50
own there. They've got good chemistry. But I don't know how the baby
8:54
actually came into the talking baby came into it, but they put the talking
8:58
baby in gavi it. Bruce Willis's boy, all of a sudden, schools
9:00
are through. The rip becomes a huge hit. He has like three sequels,
9:03
Yeah, at least two of them. I know it was a dog.
9:05
There was the sequel. Well, there was a sequel with the girl
9:07
with the daughter, which I think was the Roseanne. It was yeah,
9:11
look he's talking to and looker's talking now. And maybe they did one with
9:13
animals as well. I know you're talking now with the dog. Oh okay,
9:16
yeah, but anyway, yeah, but he had a hit with those.
9:20
But yeah, it wasn't until Pulp Fiction that Jolter came back and was
9:22
like, hey, this guy, we really like this guy. You know
9:24
what's surprising to me is that we're so far into this episode and you haven't
9:28
uttered the words Gabbo yet. It will tell us what to do. I
9:35
did not appreciate Gabbo anywhere near enough as a child. Now listen and go,
9:39
what a character. Just incredible. I mean a primo entertainer, you
9:43
will give you one hundred percent, but also a dick. But he's also
9:46
not real. It's a puppet. I know that's really treated like he's a
9:50
person, but no, it was all the ventriloquist. Yeah, but how
9:54
is Gabbo doing his doing his tally Gully? I don't know is he real
10:00
or not? But he did have the real boy operation. I did love
10:05
that on there. We're doing two episodes back today, back to back.
10:07
Today we're doing classic or vintage Simpsons episodes. We're doing that exclusive for Patreon
10:13
Home. I love Slanders review as well, so looking at season four and
10:18
season five, one thing I noticed from the two episodes we're talking about is,
10:22
yeah, a lot of great headline games, or maybe not a lot,
10:24
but at least some. And I was always a sucker for those.
10:26
I was at the after qumsis I'm a bad with a boy and two more
10:30
bodies found. By the way, if we're coming ahead to the favorite moments,
10:35
what's it my favorite? Anytime any public figure, and particularly those not
10:41
in showbiz, start appropriating catchphrases, I always find that marvelous. For Quimby
10:50
Sure Sank in the Murder of my enemies. But as Gaba would say,
10:54
I'm made bad with a boy reelected just got through the road. It does
11:00
this, doesn't it? I'm a bad boy. Great Quimby in these two
11:05
episodes as well, and we will talk about we'll talk about one answers,
11:11
just really steering with the new England accent. Give me two Dogs, two
11:15
Sodas and two ways green bars lovely. I'm not going to say we forget
11:24
the wonderful plethora of characters that Springfield has, but there's so many in these
11:28
two episodes, particularly in this episode with the squares at the start of the
11:31
Springfield Squares just Berry Way coming back, which is fantastic, but from day
11:37
yeah, but for Rainy a Wolfcastle to be. It's always great when you
11:41
realize, oh, this is in this episode and they're all little bit there's
11:45
so many bits of this. Go oh, I can betely forgot about that?
11:48
What the hell was that? Or even you know they're playing with the
11:52
scale entries. Now let's throw some crumb. There's so many in the two
11:54
episodes we're doing today, Homeless Slanders and Cross Against Canceled, so many iconic
11:58
means shots. Absolutely, I didn't believe it. But Rainie a Wolf is
12:03
at the very start, you know, talking about his new film helped my
12:05
son is a nerd, just the way I am horrified to discover he is
12:09
a nerd. It's just not a commedation. Just dug himself a hole.
12:16
I'm sure you've been there before. Absolutely speaking of that, A Tarantino,
12:20
I know as much as you do. I'll do you, fuddy, We
12:24
do know about as much as these other were. Just not only he doesn't
12:26
want to be my money. He didn't appreciate it. He didn't love it
12:31
as much though he loved it. No, he didn't appreciate it. Gave
12:33
you nothing, right, that's true, QT. What but what else?
12:37
Were your favorite moments? I have not written anything of my favorite moments because
12:39
it's all the top of my head. I particularly loved Flee when they enter
12:43
Mos because apparently they said to him, look, you pretty much improvised what
12:46
you want, but they said, just walking to Moses like hem, it's
12:48
amal. The animation they give him as well, just yeah, I didn't
12:56
tell them to do that. He just designed to scream like that, like
12:58
well, well animated to it. That was one of my favorite moments.
13:01
So excited to be there. Speaking of two other things. Speaking of Brockman,
13:07
I love it when he does the Gabbo thing as well as that'll hold
13:09
the littles. All of a sudden, Brockman in trouble and krusty desperate to
13:16
get a comeback first thing for money, gets gets prank called by Gabbo repons.
13:24
I rack you very much, Oh, mek you very much. I'm
13:28
not in trouble for that. It's terrible to be laughing at these things,
13:31
but at the same time you laugh at the fact that he's a dickhead very
13:35
much. So Yeah, there was a lot of you brought the castle story
13:39
before as well, but Bett Middless wouldn't agree to do it unless they acknowledge
13:43
her. So her littering campaign a campaign. That's why she's done doing the
13:46
Highway Star. It's great that they were able to fold as many gags and
13:50
do it as they did. I mean, it's really one gag that she's
13:52
just assaulting these drivers who litter. Yeah, but it works well on the
13:56
on the two occasions that they do it. Also, thought Liz Taylor was
13:58
a fast very much. Was just like painting yourself as like a villain,
14:03
almost like like I'm too good for this, too good for this kind of
14:05
thing. Yeah, she was. I always watch this as a kid going
14:09
she doesn't seem like a nice person, but you know she was up for
14:11
it. Yeah, good honor. But she was the voice of Maggy she
14:13
was indeed. Yeah, and she recorded this on the same day. What's
14:16
that story that you know? You had to say daddy or something and she's
14:20
sexy? Apparently it's not true. Okay, everyone was like, ah,
14:24
man, print the legend? What are you doing? Guys? Come on?
14:31
Those were my favorite moms, but I'm sure there will be many more
14:35
as we as we go throughout the episode. Let's go into some trivia questions,
14:37
then, shall we? Next question? You there eating the paste?
14:41
How about you start? All right, let's do it. So my first
14:45
question for you is, what is the name of the racehorse that Krusty owns
14:50
with Bette Midler. It's Cruddler. Crudler, Yes, the sponsor who makes
14:54
pure pork sausages. Who is it? Oh? What is that? It's
14:58
farmer Dan? Okay. What is the name of the dummy that Crusty has?
15:03
Alphons? Alphons? Yes? How did I talk about that? Moment
15:11
we were talking about it just gonna laugh. That's the moment that so we
15:13
always talk about the two beads of review this episode. He'll tell us what
15:16
to do and and they were my favorite moments. This is really threadbaar Din
15:24
Store Ventril that just cracks the minute and cracking on the head kicks. It
15:30
just looks like the worst kind of course, all the kids of the traumatize.
15:35
The kids go kicks it into the audience. Oh I love that so
15:39
much. A question for you? Or were you about to give me one?
15:43
I just gave you alphons you did? Indeed, well, let me
15:46
give you one. Also crust to related. What year was the Worker and
15:50
Parasite cartoon made? Oh? So was it in Roman numerals? Was in
15:54
actual nineteen seventy five? I'm going to say nineteen fifty nine fifty and I'd
16:02
be right, yes. Okay, then well I need two questions written down,
16:03
So I'm going to say I'm going to find one more. When they
16:07
drove past Hugh Haffner's house, what was it? What was the bus for?
16:12
Oh? It said something something. This is Springfield Star Tours, shelley
16:18
Ville Star Tours. Shell We will starts sorry, who you have to have
16:19
never lived in Springfield? What are you talking about? My mistake? Who
16:23
are Johnny Carson's dinner guests that night? Ah? Okay, I won't look
16:27
at my notes, so I know it's one from the San Diego Zoo and
16:30
it is a doctor. It is doctor Carl Sagan, best known for writing
16:36
the book Contact Okay and Joan Embry from the San Diego Zoo. That's the
16:42
sweek is that they portrayed it for such a superman in this ditty. Well,
16:49
by the end, I'm gonna lift this nineteen fifty nine eighty eighty seven,
16:56
eighty seven buicks Gard Yeah, O my head, yes, and then
17:00
bouncing Grandpa and Jastra. He said at the NBA playing the accordion, You're
17:03
the greatest, Yeah, the greatest manager business. That maybe that guy.
17:06
I'll say one more. How many did motel the Chili Peper's agent that the
17:10
venue holds? How many people last night? Doub before? Who is Sicho
17:18
Mel's manager at Krusty Berger? Oh, Dtor, I'm mister Johannison, Mister
17:23
Johanson. Is he got new problem? No? We all just want that
17:26
manager. That's really. There's got to add back right. Oh yeah,
17:29
just a chill dude. Yeah, all right, So let's get into a
17:32
review of Krusty Gets Canceled. The visional air date of the episode was May
17:37
thirteenth, nineteen ninety three, production code nine F one nine, written by
17:41
John Swartzwilder and directed by David Silverman. So to all timers right there,
17:45
absolutely don't wonder. It's a classic. So the episode kicks off with Springfield
17:49
Squares at the Springfield Harbor. And we talked earlier about help my son as
17:53
a nerd? And did do you remember Celebrity Squares to be called? It
17:56
was Hollywood Square. No, we didn't call because Celebrity Squares. Yes,
18:00
I loved that show when I was a kid, but it's just gone.
18:03
It just disappeared. I feel like we need to bring back fun game shows.
18:07
We've got Deal and O Deal like kind of shit. I just want
18:08
wackish prices, right, you were saying this the other day, bring back
18:14
yes, the hurdling guy. Well, the price is right, still going
18:17
in America. Drew carries the host. But I feel like the Prices Rise
18:18
one of those shows where you can revive it every ten years or so because
18:22
you're taken away and then when you go the prices rides returning to go,
18:25
Yes, this is fun, and then we get our fix. And then
18:27
five years later there it's been canceled. Well, I wasn't really watching it.
18:30
Five years later it's back. It's back baby. It always feels the
18:33
way that your family feuds in a bit of a lull moment, but it's
18:37
back, baby. We found someone to host when that deal and O deal,
18:41
isn't it Yeah, fortune et cetera, cetera. Yeah, but think
18:45
big dumb shit like celebrity squares, get a bunch of TikTokers and influences on
18:49
there, kids watching. Yeah, yeah, I used to love celebrity scare.
18:55
We used to always have who was our main person in celebrity squares because
18:57
what we got big was the American one. She was always on there.
19:00
Who was the Australian equivalent of whoopee. He was like the Charlie Oh.
19:04
We had someone who was always on there. So here's what I'm thinking.
19:07
I mean, I know I watched Celebrity Square certainly, but there was one
19:11
that I always watched called Blankety Blanks. Oh yeah, Graham Kennedy. Yeah,
19:14
we're great. My idol as a kid, Oh fantastic, and Dave
19:18
went ugly, Dave Gray, the standard comedian. He had this guy Noel
19:22
Ferrier who was probably an actor. He was I can't remember him really acting
19:26
anything, but he was kind of a portly, little not stuffy, but
19:30
kind of a bit frasier ish. Yeah. This guy Stuart Wagstaff who was
19:36
like a yeah, a bit of a not pompous brit but you know,
19:38
slightly a little too little too smart and sophisticated with the show, but you
19:42
know, he managed to bring just a bit of a class to the proceedings.
19:48
Just all these regulars who would show up on the show and sort of
19:52
do the rounds of these game shows. It was fascinating. I feel like
19:56
for those who are listening overseas, Graham Kennedy if trying to describe me,
20:00
he was a combination. He was almost like he was a Carson but with
20:02
a bit of Jimmy Fallon thrown into it with the wackiness. He was like,
20:06
he was, yeah, if we're going way back to like Carson here,
20:08
he's like Carson with Robin Williams energy. Yeah, or say I'm throwing
20:17
a really antique names here, but like Jack Benny Yaw like he was just
20:22
he was a comedian as well as a host. Yeah, and so a
20:26
lot of the comedy bled through, and a lot of it was kind of
20:30
not bad boy comedy. He was just like a bit of a cheeky doing.
20:33
He said fuck on television, yes, but he said it in the
20:34
way of a of a crow. So he was like, fag, I'm
20:38
just just being a crow. And I was like, I don't think you
20:41
are. What are you getting away with him? He was known as the
20:45
king and for good reason. Yes, so Celebrity Squares of Springfield Scarees is
20:49
going on. It's a giant title wave with coast garts get away, fifty
20:52
foot tight a wave. Charlie refuses to go what was his Who is this
20:55
Charlie guy? I have no idea. I'm going to go my next I
20:57
should know this. I don't know if he's like an actual person or just
21:00
a Springfield regularly, because I was looking and they never they don't put his
21:04
name. They do say his name. At one point, I just say
21:07
Charlie, do they Charlie must have been like a regular on Hollywood Squares called
21:12
Charlie Charlie. Hollywood Squares let's google it right now. She's done this earlier.
21:18
Cliff Ar Kett, Oh, yes, he's on Hollywood Square so or
21:19
they called him in something else here. But Charlie Weaver, Oh, I've
21:23
heard of Charlie. It's Cliff Kett. Cliff Kett is like the father of
21:27
the arcades, like Rosanna and Patricia. So cliff Ar Kett is a pit
21:32
cliff Ar Keutt and the Hollywood Squares. And it's just cliff I Kett in
21:33
the square in the bottom corner. So maybe it's meant to be a take
21:37
off of Cliff Arkett. Possibly it looks just like he's just like Charlie on
21:40
this on this episode. So and I'm just like we got Barry White back.
21:44
He set himself up very nicely in the top right hand corner. Pause,
21:47
casually knows where her bread's buttered a lava lamp, Pitt, did you
21:56
see that? Yeah, what's gabble? Figure? It's some guys name some
22:02
guy named Gable. So that is just the perfect marketing. Just get your
22:07
attention first. You go and get the attention first and then draw them in.
22:10
But Homer tries to figureut who it's reading the paper, turning it sideways.
22:12
Look, I tell you anything, there's teasing it, Dad, It's
22:15
just it's just you have to watch it to find out. So he tries
22:17
to use all the power in his brain. You see the billboard Garble is
22:21
coming and the sermon from Lovejoy. No one is saying, worship this Jerry
22:26
Cole that I forgot just how quickly they got into things. Oh yeah,
22:30
it's within the within like a minute, it's just Gabbles here, Garble was
22:33
coming and everyone's excited. Yeah, as I said, he'll tell us what
22:37
you tell us what to do? How great is that? It's the first
22:41
clips of Gabbo though he's going to be there every day at four, and
22:45
Bart's worrying. Oh he need is a hook. I'm a ban little boy.
22:51
Yeah yeah, So then you know, I've never actually seen the connection
22:56
there. There you go, that's the you idiot Dan. Oh no,
23:00
that's a bit of the Simpsons. You're constantly finding new jokes. There was
23:03
a joking Hamah loves Flanners that it was when he arrives at the church of
23:07
someone saying something in the background that I never would picked up had it to
23:08
be for the subtitles. I was like, I've never. Now that I
23:11
know it's there, I'm gonna hear it every time. We'll get into it
23:15
and tease for our Patreon exclusive. If it's what I'm thinking. I was
23:18
like, oh, I did not know that, not the Fallen one.
23:21
Okay, because that's the father one. That's my favorite moment whole episode,
23:27
just about back to crusting its cancers. But yeah, so he then sings
23:33
his song. Yeah, God, I love him. He's like, oh
23:36
Ship, well you screwed now. Crusty is pulling out all the stops.
23:41
Yeah, fucking unstoppable Crusty. You know he's not bothering. Yeah, slide
23:45
of the Special Olympics. Everyone's trying to take me on and they never win.
23:48
But then he gets the ratings and he lost to the channel Ocho,
23:51
which is the w be Mande a couple of eggs on the face and he
23:53
steals the bit and then which is planning the sea for later, because Crusty
23:56
is no for stealing bits from Steve Allen. Correct, Then bart Mill has
24:00
Nelson then melting trains on the card track and let's put some crudd on it.
24:03
What is the fascination with crud as a kid, What exactly is crud.
24:07
I thought crub was just like shit, right otherwise just mak Yeah.
24:14
I always thought it was like mud with like sticks and grass in it.
24:18
Yeah yeah, I'm a filthy, repulsive, or contemptible person. Is a
24:22
crud something something that is worthless, objectionable, or contemptible, So basically anything
24:26
that's just crap? Yeah yeah, anyway, as opposed to chud. That's
24:33
when the chuds came at me. So you want ventriloquism, do you watch
24:41
this? Hello, Well, fans, I've got a riddle for you.
24:45
Why is a raven like a writing desk? I don't know. Why is
24:49
the Hey? That dummy can't hurt you. He's not even alive, he's
24:56
dead. It's iconic, the visual of the kids screaming and his dog just
25:12
had burst open and mouth mouth, a gate broken off, broken jewel,
25:17
his limbs, the arm off, kicked it. Have you had a moment
25:22
this is usually something you see on a golf course, on someone's bits of
25:23
dummy, but you throw something the ground and kick it. Have you had
25:26
a moment where you spat the dummy and kicked something. I've seen friends snapped
25:30
golf clubs of her poles and kick them. I've certainly done some kicking and
25:33
to the point where it's like, now I've hurt my foot. I saw
25:37
a friend of mine, the white name. Name's not embarrassing, but he
25:41
he's keen on this girl. And we always always just went, ah,
25:44
she's not really rip mate, Like we can tell she's not leading you on,
25:48
but we know you might spiritual occasionally, but we know there's nothing there.
25:51
She's not she's not there for the long haul. And then he saw
25:53
her. He thought he was like in with he thought she laughed him,
25:56
and then he saw her kissing someone else, and he walked out inside the
26:00
Rica Hotel here in Geelong and kicked this ben and broke three of his toes.
26:03
It's just like, don't laugh, don't laugh, don't laugh. But
26:07
that's the universe telling you this girl's not for you. Yes, yeah,
26:10
move on, buddy. That girls for the streets. And he is happily
26:14
married with two kids. So yeah, yes, all worked out well for
26:17
redacted, Yes, redacted, how you do? But basically yeah, so
26:22
Acruss is now resorting to offering forty dollars checks will not beyond. So one
26:30
thing I do miss about these early episodes when they would have those little very
26:33
hush disclaimers like that way checks will not be on it not a guarantee.
26:37
It reminds me of just you know us to watch the political ads following.
26:42
Yeah. I also why are they speaking so fast and as because you've got
26:45
to get all the ship take it up all the time. Then the little
26:48
disclaimer has to be. As long as it's in there, you can't understand
26:51
anything they're saying. Conditions are but Quimby Now he says he used the city
26:57
treasury to fund the murder of his enemies. But I'm a bad little boy.
27:00
It's the hands that's what gets me. Now it's she is Scratchy,
27:03
who are now on Gabbo. So you can't play she scratchy crusty. He
27:07
has to play worker and parasitean always loved worker in parasite. Just this absolute
27:11
surreal Soviet from post World War two? What the hell was that? Is
27:22
top three I reckon most used screenshots for sixty teams. He's got the cigarette
27:30
danger Yeah, and the audience have all left. The ball bailed on Krusty.
27:34
So now Krusty is telling everybody that he's been canceled. I remember for
27:38
some reason in my head him being canceled and then telling him he's canceled.
27:41
But you don't get that. No, I know there's a bleeded scene somewhere.
27:45
Maybe they tell him then, I'm not too sure, but it's just
27:48
him explained that to the team being canceled. I think it's easy to complaint
27:52
this and the other episode where he's basically run out of money. Yeah,
27:56
I r s yeah, and he's always got that account. Who's saying Guy
28:00
O that side of the cameras, but the think that's the one that's right.
28:04
But this is where he doesn't want you're looking family and side show muggets.
28:08
A couple of lines here, not teen season equivalent, but you know,
28:11
no, you know, welcome family, your whole. Then he sees
28:15
Carson goes to see him at his house. I'm sure you you saved quite
28:18
the nest egg. I'm like Guy and Dad, I can relate. They're
28:25
playing tennis. He runs through his guest list for dinner and doctor Carl Sagan
28:27
as he said it, and Joan Embry from the San Diego Zoo. Then
28:30
it's cut to him doing an audition for Morrow's Place to stage play. I
28:33
guess is it it's honest. Is it a stage, I don't know.
28:37
I think I think it's an audition for the show. So the show,
28:40
okay, But he's nose and he loses his final ten dollars betting on the
28:45
horse at the Springfield downs. Oh, because that's right. The horse comes
28:48
up and it's very friendly. No, don't look at me. Yeah,
28:52
kids, Then watch Gabbo doing his prank call I've got a big kick,
28:56
guys out of him going it's r so you gotta kill the time, you
29:03
fill the gap, you can't sit down, and so simple, but it
29:08
adds so much it's ringing. Hello. Is this Krusty the Cloud? Is
29:15
this the callback for that porno film? Look? It was a little nervous
29:18
that day, but I'm all man, I can assure you no. I
29:23
represent a Japanese camera company. We'd like to pay you two million dollars to
29:29
do a camera commercial. Whoa me riichy very much? Oh? I hope
29:33
I didn't offend you. I need this bad, bad enough to hit yourself
29:37
over the head with the phone. WHOA you got it? Jo Blood?
29:47
What if this is anyone but Steve Rallan, you're stealing my bit. Somebody
29:52
had to ruin Gabble's career the way he ruined Krusty's. He wrongs, don't
29:56
make a right bike? Yes he do, No he don't, Yes he
29:59
do gay do wrong, Lisa. I love it with Homers authoritative like that.
30:06
I mean, he's wrong, but he's completely wrong. But he's doing
30:10
the whole Father knows best thing. I mean, you've got the glasses on
30:11
reading the papers like this guy seems legit. Now, there's an iconic Simpson's
30:17
little backstage bit that we used to always do the rounds on marathons and things
30:21
like that, which shows Yardley and Nancy recording this in the studio. He
30:26
goes, no, no, no, it doesn't. It cuts to ski
30:30
pants and Dan and Dan in real times as two wrongs. We can right.
30:32
It was all recorded in one take. I want to get this audio
30:34
of this bit and then back to back that up because it's so cool Washington
30:37
Simpson's voice actors actually doing the show, and there's very limited footage of it
30:44
released anyway. That's interesting. It's so weird. I guess at the time
30:48
that anything because you look at it's like, oh, we've got the the
30:51
guys recording the Lion King The Lion King thirtith anniversary was last week or the
30:53
week before, and there was some footage that's just been released. It's like,
30:56
you've been sitting on this ship for thirty years. Why have you not
30:59
released this? Like, yeah, it's so weird, Like people want to
31:03
see voice actors doing the roles. They certainly do. Yeah, But anyway,
31:07
so Chrust, he's not doing well, you know that he's falling through
31:10
the prank phone calls and all that kind of thing. But then I've got
31:12
here home. Yeah, so Bart visits the studio to he's gonna get back
31:15
at Gabbo because that's what the two wrongs not making right this was talking about,
31:18
and we really spouse down for an ad for Gabbo airlines. It's such
31:26
a little jerk, isn't he? Oh Gabbo. But it's like ventraloquism,
31:30
right, it's such a unique niche of a career where you're the life of
31:37
this puppet. But it's almost like they create a new personality for themselves and
31:41
they voice their grievances studio. You get the feeling that someone who's a ventraloquist
31:45
has got bipolar, or they got a business, a friendly or something oh.
31:48
They they've got a few demons. They're very very repressed people and they're
31:52
letting it out through Teddy Bear or whoever. Yeah, everyone always goes to
31:59
Stratsman, don't they. They do, Yeah, except I remember there was
32:01
one. Remember we had him at pop Culture. Yeah, yeah, I
32:06
remember that. When Straisman became a thing, right, it was huge.
32:07
It was like so populous, so everyone everyone loved Stratsman for a while,
32:10
wasn't It was gabbo oh very much that right, But then this other guy
32:14
came around. I can't remember. He's Jeff Doneham Jeff, and he had
32:16
the terrorist puppet. Yeah. I was like shout up, I kidd you,
32:19
and everyone's like, funck, we cannot do this now. It was
32:23
just a terrorist ve like like whoaly ship is the may be wrong about Stratsman,
32:31
but I mean he came to pop Culture when we were working there and
32:35
I was at some event where he was doing his many people there, there
32:37
were a few actually, because he was huge in Australia because he was on
32:40
when we had Hey Saturday. It would come and he do bits on that
32:45
kind of like some people are just really famous in Australia but not back home.
32:47
The guy from Weiredest Brendan. This leasing of Weirdest Tenage Dopey came out.
32:52
It wasn't a hit, right, not a hit at all. Number
32:53
one in Australia, So let's just go to Australia. There one thing I'd
32:57
like about if I was a rock star. I mean, of course he'd
33:00
want to be huge, but I think it'd be also great to be kind
33:02
of niche, like really big in Germany. It's always Germany and you can
33:07
always go back to Germany or Japan. David Hasselhoff, Yeah, he is
33:10
an icon. It's like run a little on cash, Okay, time for
33:15
a tour of Germany or whatever. Yeah, I think little side hustle.
33:22
It's kind of cool about it. What I always loved about the end of
33:24
Spinal Tap. You know, it's like, oh, well the band's history.
33:29
No, you guys are huge in Japan and they go and they perform
33:31
and just love Spiral Tap in Japan. But basically here this is where Gabbo
33:36
gets in trouble because but flicks on, well he sounds the wise guy to
33:38
go look at the look. Yeah, let's not forget about this. This
33:42
guy just he knocks like three of them out of the park. Hey boy,
33:45
what's so funny? Oh no, I'm very low brown. And then
33:50
this gotta see I was just smiling from the beginning to end. I'm always
33:53
happy when you get a wise guy, and oh no, I'm very little
33:57
bro. I feel like if you were going to get a Simpsons tato,
33:59
it would be the white. It probably would be Yeah, he's your man,
34:01
isn't he? He boil, what's so funny? Well, nah,
34:09
you wouldn't be interested. It's too low brow. No, I'm quite low
34:13
bro. Well, somebody just wrote a body limerick on the men's room wall.
34:16
This say, gotta see other kids in Springfield? Or so bees?
34:24
Gabbo's kind of language has no place on or off TV. And that's my
34:30
two cents. I don't know how those sol bees. What the Then we
34:37
see Krusty and he's now dropping his pants for food for food? Will drop
34:42
pants for food for food? Yeah? But unfortunately the old Jewish guy's giving
34:44
anyway for free, and the old gray man sure ain't what she used to
34:46
be. He then they didn't take him home, and he sees the pits.
34:51
I see the picture of all the subjects in the wall. But the
34:52
first one they see is Luke Perry, who is revealed he is his half
34:55
brother. Yeah, that's why I've always thought I may have mentioned on the
34:59
podcast before. Or Jack Perry, Luke Perry son, who's a restaurant.
35:01
Aw now, why would he not be a guest star of the Simpsons as
35:05
Krusty's nephew. It's a very good point. Does he still go by jungle
35:08
Boy or whatever? No, he's now just Jack Perry. It's a pretty
35:10
cool name. Yeah, it is a very cool name, isn't it.
35:15
Jack's just a cool name. Jack, just Jack. Jungle Boy is like,
35:19
you know, it's a character, but he's just Jack Perry. It's
35:21
like your dad is Luke Perry just big Jack Perry. But Liz Taylor as
35:27
well, she's I told him to go away good, but we're not quite
35:31
up to that. But yeah, running through the people, said Liz Taylor,
35:34
Bette Midler, and they suggested, let's do a special so it gives
35:37
them the dress address book. I have to clow my way back on TV.
35:39
But it's not gonna be easy. Que the old Jewish guys now hit
35:43
and well got the old the old old man dancers. Well this you mentioned
35:46
hay Hayes Saturday before. This is very much a Red FAC's skit, isn't
35:50
it. It is, although I think the old Man dancers sounds like a
35:52
pretty professional outfit. This isn't like an amateur hour thing. It's so weird
35:55
that you brought up Hayes Saturday because I watched one video of Red Faces like
36:00
three days ago on YouTube. Now my algorithm is just filled with guest appearances
36:04
from Red Faces, and there's one that had Will Smith and Shaquille O'Neill as
36:08
the guest scorers, and I was like, what a lone up? Oh
36:12
god, ye Will Smith. It was the place to be. It was
36:15
the big show. Say, when I watch it, that's cornish ship now.
36:20
Oh absolutely. When John Blackman, who was the voiceover guy, he
36:22
passed away. He passed away recently. Yeah, they had some tributes on
36:25
TV and of course they were showing hey, hey clips. It's like everybody
36:30
came to hey, this was the best alone. There's Will Smith, there's
36:35
all the biggest stars of the day. And then Rove sort of took the
36:37
mantle from that, didn't he He did, and then he just sort of
36:39
goes, I'm done, and just like retired because you wanted to go tackle
36:43
America. Yeah, had Rove America, which fucking taint and some things in
36:46
America for a little while. And now and now he's doing radio with Abby
36:51
somebody, I think, or whatever. But he's just he's never become Rove
36:53
again, has he. He was like the gold LOGI every year kind of
36:57
thing. Although I was walking through the supermarket the day, yeah, stealing
37:00
stuff, walking through the supermarket the other day, buying stuff, and that
37:06
was stealing money from you with the prices, that's correct. Yes, Infletion
37:13
was here SLB. I saw you know the rack of magazines that the checkout,
37:17
Yeah, it was. I think we might have been TV. We've
37:20
got something with the Rove on the cover saying I'm not done yet. So
37:23
I'm pretty sure that indicates that you are, by the way, Robe coming
37:29
on the show. So friend of the pod, I'll show you, come
37:30
on, I'll show you. He probably would actually, Okay, Zack cut
37:34
all that out, but it's like, okay, so what are you going
37:37
to do? Make a comeback, and good for you. I just to
37:39
watch Rove because I always wanted to have my own talk show when I was
37:42
kid. That was my thing. I was like, I'm gonna have my
37:43
own talk show, and now you do. Now I top, no one
37:45
listens. Basically, I wanted my own This thing's not even plugged in.
37:47
Yeah yeah, all this time you're on this podcast, you still pay me.
37:54
I will happily indulge his man's delusion, will indulge delusions for money,
38:00
aw food. So I always wanted to have my own talk show. So
38:05
I used to like study Row and then I started and I saw let him
38:07
and I was like, oh, this guy knows what he's doing. This
38:10
is how you do it. It's Middler. I can't believe you did it
38:15
all by yourself. We are Americans. We deserve clean highways. Your pegs.
38:23
Oh no, but Middler, shall we all start tours? Bart goes
38:36
to see who you have. No, we get chili peppers at Mo's,
38:38
and we want we want chili. Really it was a love but sort of
38:43
smuggling them out by saying, look over there, what is it. I'm
38:47
gonna stop looking soon. So great is that it? Can I look too,
38:52
It's gonna cast it now back to the wall, Liz Taylor. I
38:54
told him the buzzer good. Then they arrive and Crusty's completely overweight. How
39:00
long were they gone for? This is me eating drinking of the milkshakes,
39:05
but I understand that. But how long were they gone for? Because he's
39:08
ballooned? This is an absolute tangent, but it's something I've always found very
39:14
funny. Ryan Gosling years ago, was cast by Peter Jackson to be the
39:19
lead in this movie, The Lovely Bones. He was meant to play this
39:21
grieving father and Ryan Gosling he looked like Ryan Goslin this day, so we
39:24
thought, well, this dad is going to be a bit of a sad
39:27
sack. He like melted tubs of Ben and Jerry's in his microwave and just
39:32
drank it. And to put on a but to put on some weight fast
39:37
to be the dad in this movie. He got on New Zealand where Peter
39:40
Jackson was making the movie. Peter Jackson, look at you'd been in my
39:44
movie looking like that, You're fined. He didn't. He got replaced by
39:49
Mark Wulburg. Holy shit, why because such Jonnage wasn't he supposed to put
39:55
on weight? Though? I think I don't think he consulted Peter Jackson on
39:59
what he he was going to do. Think Jackson was back now and goes,
40:05
I had gossling. I supposed to Wholburg. Warburg was was pretty hot
40:07
at that. So they found Krusty. Yeah, he's put on all the
40:09
weight and they said, look, can you move in with us and how
40:13
we get back into shape. Homo says, they've got a sofa bed bed
40:15
that was the previous one. Tries a bit open. Then they're working on
40:19
his pie routine, his aim and hit him in the face of the piets
40:22
or warm. It's actually piping hot piping, so delicious. Yes, Then
40:27
we get the boxing and he sees Gabbos and he punches Homer pop prices off
40:30
through the roof. He cuts back. Yeah. Then Krusty is I always
40:35
liked the bit of Marge and in the aerobics. Yeah, I didn't touch
40:39
it with their matching leotards and stuff. It's like the Crusty is just he's
40:44
accepted here. Yes, I've hit rock bottom. These people are not like
40:47
professional trainers, but these are the only ones who are willing to help me
40:51
now. And he's acknowledging that, and it's nice. At the end the
40:52
kids get acknowledged as well. That's true. Yes, and you've also got
40:57
Krusty's trying to get into shape by doing the rocky thing, punching the big
40:59
side of be and Homer, of course, is taking bites out of it,
41:01
because when people go out of their way to help you with things,
41:04
you should always acknowledge them, shouldn't you? You should indeed, So now
41:08
Chrusty is begging Mal to return to the show. He's working at the Gulp
41:13
and Blow, and he's refused. He guess no, here I'm being respected.
41:15
Mister Jannison treats me with dignity except the earlier version of the squeaky voice
41:20
tin. I want to say, he's got the voice, but he's not
41:22
quite designed right yet. I guess not. I tac over and to the
41:24
thing. Ah oh another. Honestly, it's twenty twenty four and this shit
41:29
still happens. You look at people in Case and you're like, oh,
41:31
look at you guys. You are not going to be making my hamburger correctly,
41:34
you know, Oh no, you're You're an absolute buffoon. I'm not
41:38
sure how familiar or appreciative listeners of Forfinger Discount are of the Australian podcaster and
41:45
YouTuber friendly Jeordie's. But he'll occasionally have this thing where it's like KFC horror
41:50
stories or fast food horror stories? Is he still doing Is he still doing
41:52
his bit because he was like all the ray you Yeah, he was off
41:55
the radar for all because someone burned down his house. Yeah yeah, but
41:59
was that not a publicity that wasn't known? It was. It was a
42:01
really good one. But yeah, he'll do these ones occasionally, like right
42:07
in with your fast food worker horror stories and yeah, some of the ones
42:09
are here, particularly bad KFC are just like, oh, I'm never having
42:13
you know, tenders again. Yeah, because the shrunk triggers, right,
42:17
yeah, shrink flation. We're in the pool. But so yeah, basically
42:24
Mail refuses to come back, which is just planting the seeds for the big
42:28
return later on. By the way, Also just great line from not quite
42:31
Squeaky Boys team. But yeah, that's a bit of an I kind of
42:34
one. Had a girlfriend should kill me, she'd kill me? Yes,
42:36
and outstip of the rehearsal, Loup Perry is doing his balloons crust. He
42:38
does a horsey I think it was, and Perry does a nineteenth century carousette
42:43
and he kicks him out, I love this please, he's for love's sake.
42:46
Oh fine, I'll find something for you, and he has the vision
42:49
of him hitting the brick wall and new look for Look, Yes, new
42:52
look for Luke, Our time for the spash the special, So Krusty Special
42:57
tonight, gabbled have real boy operation Now they planned the seeds earlier in the
43:00
episode about ray J Johnson, Yes, which was when he was talking about
43:05
how they're being canceled, and these are the guests we're getting on. No,
43:07
no, we had great guests except for ray J Johnson. Now that's
43:10
who Gabbo has. So Krusty now suggests to the chili pepers. Now,
43:15
this is apparently a take on from the Doors movie. When was it Ed
43:17
Sullivan who suggested that the doors don't sing? Certain looks a light my fire.
43:22
So yeah, whether this actually happened on the Ed Sullivan Show is up
43:25
to debate. But the design of where the way they're sitting in this shot
43:30
is exactly how the doors were in the film. Yeah, I want to
43:32
revisit the Doors of the film. I remember really enjoying it when I was
43:36
like, I've watched since I was a teenager, but I remember Kim were
43:37
being really good. I loved it. Yeah, big fan of the Doors
43:40
movie. Yeah, I have to check it out. You've got I think
43:45
it's Flea who's doing a lot of thrusting. He's always thrusting, but just
43:49
the everyone can enjoy that, so many great moments. Yeah, forget you,
43:55
Claire. Okay, but what about what I wanted? I want hug
44:00
and kiss you. Oh that's much better. I just wish I had it
44:06
actually sung that. Later on I heard them actually singing those lyrics. But
44:08
this was great publicity for the Chili Peper. They're already a huge band with
44:12
the kids, right, but if parents are watching this, they'd be put
44:15
into such a more positive light. Oh god, yeah, like, oh
44:16
they're nice guys. Yeah, they're not these weird sort of sex magic dudes
44:22
from the La Underworld. Yeah. Then just a bunch of nice guys.
44:24
Yeah. So then they're playing their underpants. He sings send in the Clowns.
44:30
And this is a great rendition, isn't it? It is? And
44:32
it's moving even like twenty twenty four, it's twenty years ago this episode aired,
44:36
or even not more. It's still moving where Mal walks in, Yeah,
44:39
I borrowed a bit from the Elvis Si exten a lot of based Yeah,
44:44
but I love your crusty quiet. Then he shoots Luke Perry out of
44:47
the cannon and just my face, my valuable face, and just as you
44:50
said, the sounds through the glass landed a pillow factory explodes. I love
44:53
the content looks like a bunch of pillows that it cuts to crusty it crowd
45:00
of Blauds. Then the chili Pepper's look at it, look at him out
45:05
there, saying so degrading is where's my lalie for the little stinker sketch.
45:09
Carson then lifts the nineteen eighty seven Buick skylike above his head while oh no,
45:15
I'm thinking of another bit of music. So you have then playing stuff
45:20
from Tayler's looking at her diamonds, and she don't need to fire my agent.
45:22
Then Bette Midler does distribute as she did to Carson, win beneath my
45:25
Wings, which she's saying on the I think the second last episode of Carson.
45:29
It sounds about right. I've never liked win beneath my Wings No,
45:32
for reasons it strokes means the ultimate humble brag song. I was like everything
45:38
I do is great. I'm doing so fantastic in life, couldn't do it
45:43
without you. But check this out. You know I'm the one with the
45:45
wings. You're just the wind beneath. That's fine, that's fine. I
45:50
can fly fire. You just win. I can fly higher than an eagle.
45:53
Not without you, though you helped. If Bett Miller said that song
45:59
for you, would you feel special? I would? I get what you're
46:01
saying. Yeah, yeah, it's like I'm the important one. You've You've
46:05
helped me get to where I am. But go google the lyrics of wind
46:07
Beneath My Wings and it's basically this person saying everything's going so great for me.
46:13
Thanks. You deserve an Emmy for this cause more Dinalds. That's just
46:17
the Simpsons riders getting bad at them with the Emmys. Then it's time for
46:21
the celebration party at Mo's and there's a he's getting cold fish on the love
46:24
test. I've test behind me here, you do, indeed, I saw
46:28
it right here, So I hold off with the camera. There it is
46:30
love test. Not sure it's in focus or not. But now I'm out
46:31
of focus. I think, okay, my focus, I know my focus.
46:36
I'm sure find out. But the love test here pretty sure you'd be
46:39
a hot to Marley, I would be a you'd be a casanova, that's
46:43
for sure. Is that the top one? Yes, hot tomorrow is a
46:45
second o the guys, you've be number two. You're the wind beneath you
46:52
have is a cold fish and he's happy about it. Apparently might have been
46:57
so in real life, and his lady is, but you know who among
46:59
us? Then Carson says, now, remember save money. This time he's
47:02
a rubistatic fand I was crusty. No. Then Chili Pepper's arrived. He
47:07
it's so great, and Hithert and Wigham are in now andies as well,
47:10
do that my handies. And then the kids say they're getting fift percent of
47:14
the shirt sails. That the sweetest blooms of the club. That's the sweetest
47:20
plum. Yeah, they pulled the George Lucas. It's the biggest fantastic That's
47:23
one of the things. I was just happy, so happy for George Lucas
47:27
when he when he made all his millions and he still billion but when he
47:30
made his billions. But the same with the folks at Fox is like okay,
47:34
yeah, fine, you can have all this at the merch. They're
47:37
like Wars next thing, you know. Now, there is a moment here
47:46
when Carson is playing the theme and the Grandpa and Jasper everyone's gathered around the
47:52
shot. Just prior to that. Did you see what was out the window?
47:54
Tell me it's Liz Taylor looking in. Oh, I never noticed that
47:59
as a kid over the last movie review. I think I may have noticed.
48:00
But yeah, Liz Taylor's at the window gazing, wishing she was part
48:04
of the party. Oh, nice little easter. Good on Liz Taylor for
48:07
Oh, she had nothing to do with that, but playing there, but
48:12
being part of two Simpsons episodes, yeah, I mean they got They of
48:15
course attracted a lot of great talent over the years and still do. I
48:19
don't know whether she was actually marketed as being Liz Taylor in the Simpsons this
48:22
week when it was her voicing Daddy, but certainly for a certain cohort,
48:28
and particularly we know when this episode comes out. I mean, you're thick
48:30
in the generation x Weeds. Even if people aren't like oh, like I
48:36
was saying, for oh, Liz Taylor is like an A list. I
48:38
mean, you're not going to get her for your She's still a good she's
48:42
still a really good get, cause she's like legitimate Hollywood royalty. But not
48:45
for kids, the kids, No kid, I couldn't give a shit.
48:46
But but honestly, yeah, for a slightly more grown up audience or slightly
48:52
grown more grown viewers, like these guys mean business because even you know the
48:55
name Elizabeth Taylor, right, I knew. I knew of her, Yeah,
49:00
you know, she reminds me of another name who I don't know anything
49:02
about her. When I was a kid, but I always used to hear
49:05
people talking it was lies of Menelly. I'd always hear people talking about Lis
49:07
of Monelley. I'm like, who is this lies of Menaley? She's obviously
49:10
somebody. Yeah, but I couldn't tell you who she was, And she'd
49:14
be on the Nanny should be doing this something like who are you? Why
49:15
are you on all these shows that I want? And it's great when you
49:19
well, if you get curious and you sort of wind the tape back and
49:21
you say, oh my god, they can do all this fantastic stuff.
49:24
All they inspired all these other people. You can see the influence that they
49:28
had on so and so. A few years down the line, it's one
49:30
thing I love about heart and entertainment. It's like, yeah, just going
49:32
back a little bit. Oh, this influenced this, This influenced this.
49:36
I watched this really old movie a couple of weeks ago called Metropolis. It's
49:40
like a German movie from my twenties. Yeah, you love that movie?
49:44
I do like it. No, No, what's the one you have the
49:45
poster of Metropolis? Yeah? Yeah, I mean it's very much of It's
49:52
like it's a silent movie from the nineteen twenties, but you look at the
49:55
shit in that and it's influenced so many fucking things. What's the action movie
50:00
that is influenced basically every action movie we've ever seen? Oh that's a good
50:02
point seven something, was it? Oh seven Samurai? Yeah yeah, unless
50:07
you're a movie No, I mean it's highly acclaim, but the average person
50:09
probably hasn't heard of it. But if that at least watched it. Yeah,
50:13
still the name sort of you would you will have heard it even if
50:16
I haven't seen it. But yeah, overall, Chrussy gets canceled. This
50:19
is just basically them sort of pulling their dickeat and saying, look at us,
50:22
look at all the guest stars we have. Yeah, it's very much
50:23
a time capture ninety three. Though all the guest stars here aren't really relevant
50:28
now, any of them. I think it's just nice we lived through this
50:30
ear so we know who the guest stars are. But Alliot would watch this
50:34
now and go, I don't know who any of these people are. No,
50:36
you wouldn't know Luke Perry probably, yeah, probably wouldn't even know the
50:38
Chili Peppers, not until he's older, as the Chili was probably the one
50:44
that sort of lasted the longest, as Flea calls them the red Hots.
