What's going on, guys, Dando here. Hope you're all having a fantastic
0:02
week. Of course, this week you're going to be getting a review of
0:04
Girls Just Want to Have Some. But before that, I want to give
0:06
you all a heads up that you will not be hearing Guy and Dando reviewing
0:10
this episode. Now you'll be going back through time to where Mitch and Dando
0:13
ruled the podcasting world. This was a Patreon exclusive we did several years ago,
0:17
and we thought we'd just chucked the one up for you guys on the
0:19
free feed here so you can hear Mitch and Dando reviewing Girls Just Want to
0:22
Have Sums? And Guy will We returning next week as per normal. So
0:26
thank you guys once again for all of your ongoing support. Hope you all
0:28
have a fantastic week and enjoy our review of Girls Just Want to Have Sums.
0:32
Now that the boys and their atmosphere of intimidation are gone, we can
0:37
finally breathe. Breathe, ladies. Now let's buckle down and do some math.
0:45
Yes, how do numbers make you feel? What does a plus sign
0:52
smell like? Is the number seven odd or just different? Are we going
0:59
to do any actual math problems problems. That's how mensie. Math something to
1:03
be attacked, to be figured out. But isn't it. I mean,
1:08
confidence building can't replace real learning. Ear Lisa, sounds like you're trying to
1:15
derail our self esteem engine. Let's sing it back on the tracks. The
1:19
best thing I can ever be is to be okay with me me. Four
1:29
Finger Discount, dude, welcome to fourth Thing Discount. This week. We
1:47
are here to review it this week. It's just a fourth Thing Discount Patreon
1:49
exclusive. Still this week. I guess we're recording this. We're not in
1:53
the future. We're recording this on the fourth of February twenty twenty. So
1:57
by the time this reaches the free feed, I wonder what it's going to
1:59
be twenty twenty three, twenty four. Well, yeah, I suppose.
2:04
Yeah, you've returned from the grave. I have want to come back seven
2:08
seasons later and you're back. Yeah, same if you and Guy. If
2:14
you and Guy have disbanded for Finger Discount in the interim, then it's going
2:16
to be like, would you wait until the calendar day? Like the podcast,
2:21
the RSS feed stays dormant for two and a half years, and then
2:24
it'd be like Willy Wonka coming back. The lights turned back on in the
2:28
factory. We're here to talk about girls just want to have sums because our
2:32
incredible, incredibly generous patron, mister Seth weens that's desperate. No, he's
2:38
not desperate. That's incredibly generous. Now he's paid one hundred dollars to choose
2:42
as most of the people who've ever paid me a hundred dollars for a service
2:45
have been very desperate, but they've also been elderly businessman. It's been in
2:49
the car park, I said, the better he wants us to talk about.
2:53
Check out my reviews. I'm Troop Advisor. Girls just want to have
2:55
sums, and Mitch has been given this scathing reviews on social media. So
3:01
I really enjoyed it until the end. I thought it fell off a cliff
3:04
at the end, really um. I thought it started off a cliff,
3:07
and then it started to crawl its way past the play. It started to
3:12
so like it got thrown off a cliff in the opening act. It got
3:14
this is sparted and kicked down the hole and then it slightly just snagged and
3:19
caught itself and it started to try really hard despite its own inability and climbing
3:25
strength to make its way back up, and like watching a spider trying to
3:30
climb out of a toilet bowl. For a moment there I went, you
3:32
know what, go you good thing, you can do it. I believe
3:37
in you. But then, like the venomous, poisonous Satan's creature that it
3:43
was, was flushed back down the toilet and the final lacks bad storytelling,
3:46
Grebit and went love storytelling through it all. I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
3:52
it's not it's not all bad. There's there's some good stuff in there.
3:54
There's a lot of stuff in this one. But I'll get so do you
3:57
want do you want me to jump straight into my problem? Do you want
3:59
to synopsis? How it we talk about? I know people know this is
4:03
a season seventeen episode. Would everyone have watched this? I feel like there
4:06
would, particularly Patriots. I feel like there would be some people. You're
4:10
listening to this before you've watched it, You're a fool, Yeah, but
4:12
I think some people would if it was me for silly billies, if they're
4:15
doing that. But sometimes if it's an episode. I've done this with movies
4:18
before. I just listened to the Star Wars spoiler special because I don't really
4:23
have any care about that being spoiled. So it was more a case of
4:29
I listen to people review this, I'll know everything that happens. But then
4:31
when I do watch the movie, I'll go in with my expectation exactly where
4:35
it's supposed to be. And that's probably the best way for me to have
4:38
fun. And I think that some people that stop watching The Simpsons in season
4:42
ten might be the best way to go about it. You go, oh,
4:44
look, I'll listen to the review for that, and then I can
4:46
make my decision on whether or not I want to watch it. Well,
4:48
okay, so the story is that what device is schooled in the first place?
4:53
I know, they get a new principle, a principal Skinner slandering women.
4:58
Yeah yeah, so he says girls and good at maths. They get
5:00
a female who's played by friends as mcdormant by the way, Okay, yeah,
5:05
very really unrecognized. Yeah yeah. So she decides to split the school
5:11
between girls and boys, so girls go one way, boys or the other.
5:14
Lisa realizes that they're not going to be teaching proper math in the girls
5:17
section of the school, so she tries to sneak to the boys section.
5:19
But the only way to do so we need to dress up as a boy.
5:23
She gets beaten up, she does all the things, she becomes a
5:26
boy essentially in order to be to fit in, and then she How does
5:30
this end? How would you describe the way this ends? What's the ending
5:31
to this story? Because to me, it didn't have an ending. What
5:34
is the ending to this story? Let's just reveals that it was her all
5:38
along. Lisa then realizes that boys don't have it as easy as what she
5:42
thinks, and then nothing, and then nothing that she hits Martin with a
5:45
chair, and the b plot is that Homer and Marge at each other because
5:48
Homer doesn't think women are as good as men. Basically, yeah, and
5:53
oh that's right. Martin just comes in and plays the flute, and that
5:55
doesn't get wrapped up either. He gets kicked to the doghouse by the dog
5:59
and then that's the end of That's the last we see of him. And
6:00
here's the other thing. Here's the other thing. This is what really annoyed
6:02
me. They don't wrap up the fact that the schools divided. We haven't
6:05
even gotten to the fact that the parts that had always be yet so okay,
6:11
So how did Lisa win the award when she wasn't even enrolled? Well,
6:16
she's rolled under a fact name how she turned up. Okay, Homer
6:24
and Marge story never gets wrapped up. The other thing is so they don't
6:27
rectify the fact that the school was split up into two by the end of
6:30
it just ends and then the next episode it's back to normal again. You
6:33
mentioned this recently, like when they have, um, they build a tower
6:36
in Lisa's room make room for Lisa in season ten, Yeah, and then
6:42
just not fixed this. It's a pretty big change. Yeah. Um.
6:46
Skinner is also just left as a groundskeeper and has not learned a lesson.
6:50
No, now here's okay, So my problems in a So when this out
6:56
two thousand and six, ye okay, now two and twenty. This episode
7:01
feels so badly like it's been written by someone with a massive chip on their
7:05
shoulder and someone that's like, you can't even be funny anymore because some feminist
7:10
is going to say that you're joking about blah blah blah. It's sort of
7:13
taken the piss out of feminist. What Skinner says is awful, but then
7:19
they make the feminist counter argument stupid. All they do all that happens in
7:25
this episode from both sides of gender is they look for the worst in each
7:30
side of gender, and nothing is shown to act as a consequence for that
7:36
or to act as a counterbalance to that. So Skinner firstly massively out of
7:45
character, suddenly just goes off the deep end as a as a misogynist and
7:48
thinks that women are dumb and doesn't understand yeah, and not only that is
7:54
so stupid that he can't talk his way out of it and can't think of
7:57
how to like that. Instantly, I'm like, well, this is a
8:01
massively out of character. Then they do not show all they show feminists as
8:07
a wishy washy people that you know, it's how does math make you?
8:11
How does it make you? Feel? Like? They relentlessly mock feminism,
8:18
which would be fine if they also showed what the positives of it are,
8:26
and they don't do that because even by having Lisa be really good at maths,
8:31
that's not what the feminist agenda is. So they like, she's not
8:35
even showing that thing of like, oh yes, but this is you know,
8:39
this can be the positive upshot of trying to push for equal rights.
8:41
It just happens to be Lisa's really good at maths. But Lisa was always
8:45
really good at maths, So I'm not learning anything that we didn't already know.
8:46
This just basically comes across as people go on, how stupid a feminists
8:50
and boys are disgusting. That's that is what annoys me. And the whole
8:54
thing of the boys sided school falling to shit again needs some sort of counter
8:58
because of the fact that all boys schools exist and they don't descend into an
9:05
anarchy. Yeah overnight, Um that like there was just it was all one
9:11
way storytelling and lost common denominated stuff and not a shred of thought or intelligence
9:20
about how they would try to find the funny in this setup. I didn't
9:26
I didn't appreciate how they sort of played up that boys just can't be nice.
9:30
Yeah, there's no way a boy could possibly know. When they made
9:33
her beat up Ralph, I was like what what? Yeah? Yeah,
9:39
like that was awful to watch. I felt I felt horrible. There was
9:41
no repercussions for that. It's just no she becomes accepted, Yeah, her
9:46
even apologize. She feels no guilt or remorse. Ralph doesn't understand he's standing
9:50
there with a smile on his face. She punches him, he runs off
9:52
crying, and that's it. Yeah, she gets cheered. Yeah. Yeah,
9:56
um the So there's a funny way. So I just watched Mulan over
10:00
the weekend and there's a really funny line in that when Eddie Murphy's character is
10:05
Mushu is teaching Mulan how to fit in, and she's like, punch me
10:09
in the face. It's how men say hello. Like that's funny. But
10:13
then afterwards you see the men form a bond and they start to trust and
10:16
then they find out who she actually is. And then even though she gets
10:20
banished, the core soldiers still accept her for who she is, which doesn't
10:24
happen in this episode either. So there's absolutely no learning and there's no acceptance
10:28
and principal Skinners, the one takeaway and lesson that Skinner has is I don't
10:33
have opinions anymore. Yeah, just don't be your dickhead. That's the lesson
10:39
that you're supposed to learn. You can have all the opinions that you like,
10:41
just don't have shipped ones. And if you do have a ship one
10:43
And someone says that's a shit opinion. Put your hand up and apologize for
10:46
it. You don't have to go become a groundskeeper that's too scared to speak
10:48
because you're worried about upsetting the feminazis. That in a nutshell was what I
10:54
really really did not like about the episode. Now that's said, I did
11:00
enjoy Lisa, Lisa's role, Lisa trying to go under cover, Lisa trying
11:07
apart from the Martin sorry, is from the punching Wealth thing um, Lisa
11:11
doing what she can to study maths. Lisa was Lisa would never do that.
11:18
She'd never punch regardless if she wants to learn maths or not, she
11:20
wouldn't punch Realth. No, that was a moment where I thought that she
11:22
would give it up and just go no, this is or come up with
11:28
some excuse or some reason, whatever it might be. It just felt all
11:31
that moment was just it was just horrible to watch. Yeah, or it
11:33
was going to be the moment that she punches him and then they turn on
11:35
her. So like, you know, you just punched the weakest kid in
11:39
school and that should not be a good thing. No, Like you know
11:41
that not just the weakest kids, the most mentally challenged kids. Yeah,
11:43
there's that as well. Um, yeah, there's a lot going on in
11:48
the episode that really it's just there's nothing positive to take away from that.
11:54
Like I was like, there's an ugliness in this writing that I'm not used
11:56
to in this show, like a show that normally sarcasm yes, and satire,
12:01
yes, But I was like, well, what are they actually trying
12:05
to say here? And I couldn't find anything positive in what they were actually
12:11
aiming for. Well, I've just got that. It just felt like they
12:13
had a message, but they just copped out at every chance, and nobody
12:16
learned a lesson. I've no one's learning any lessons here. Yeah, there
12:20
were several and this is what I was talking about about crawling out. There
12:24
were several turning points. I was like, Okay, this is this is
12:26
where they're going to build the thing, and then it just doesn't happen because
12:30
the itchy and scratch you play. Cut that whole fucking thing out. That
12:33
in five minutes of just wasted television. It was a good parody of liking
12:35
I'll give it that. It was entertaining. Yeah, cut that out and
12:39
add five minutes to the end, and he wrapped some shit up. It
12:41
would have been better in any other episode. Yeah, wrap some shit up
12:45
because it feels like they ran out of time. Everything just sort of just
12:48
ends without any actual obvious No one learns anything, there's no there's no moral
12:52
lessons here. It's just everyone's a bad person. That's that's a springfield.
12:56
Get rid of that first five minutes and have Homer apologize to Marge. Yeah,
13:01
have them have that discussion, because Homer doesn't learn anything. Well,
13:03
he's a skinner. I'm just gonna have an opinion anymore. No, someone
13:05
needs to explain to him what you just said. Yeah, like I said,
13:09
that feels like he's been written by a forty year old white guy.
13:13
Who who who wasn't written by I'll tell you what. In the good Place,
13:16
there's a character if I do like that show. Have you been watching
13:20
it? Yeah? So you know in the new season seeing season three?
13:22
No first two. So they bring a character in in the third season who
13:28
is like your ultimate chauvinistic douchebag, And there's a conversation where he's like,
13:35
what do you mean I can't tell a woman to smile? What if she'd
13:37
genuinely be prettier? Prettier if she smiled, I'm helping her that. It
13:41
feels like if that guy was in real life. He wrote this episode,
13:45
and he wrote it in a response to being told, don't tell me to
13:48
smile, Like, that's kind of what al mats Oh, Matt, Matt,
13:58
it's a forty year old white guy. Oh man, oh man.
14:09
He also wrote some Bible stories. By the way, Really, it's been
14:13
a bad week for Matt Selman. He listens to this show too. That's
14:18
amazing. Well, hopefully he's not a patriot. So a couple of years
14:24
from now, he's given up. Six years from the now. When did
14:26
this go out? When? When the episode often years ago, two thousand
14:31
and six, So it was a thirty four year old white man. Is
14:33
he forty years old? Forty eight? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, so
14:35
close. Yeah, he's outraged. It does feel like someone who It feels
14:43
like the episode is trying to tell us a message, but it just doesn't
14:46
understand the message by the end of it. It's just it's just a it's
14:50
a strange one. It was I want to reel it back. It's someone
14:54
that listens. Fuck it, sorry, Matt, it's bad. You should
15:00
have seen Mitch's faces, and you can feel free Matt to track me down
15:05
and tell me all the things that I've done wrong in my life. Um,
15:11
the list is equally as long. What was your favorite moment? I
15:15
had a couple of favorite moments here. I did like Charmers commenting on Skinner's
15:18
car. Oh house that had Yeah, that was very very funny. But
15:24
the Bart Junior Bate switch, Yeah, I thought it was from his penis.
15:30
Yea, and I did as silly as it was, I was running
15:31
up in the doghouse. Yes, Yeah, that was my favorite. Happened
15:35
that was really good, as absurd as it was. Yeah, yeah,
15:39
that was excellent the first time. Just no end to that story though,
15:43
I needed to wrap that up. Yeah yeah. The first time that it
15:46
happened, I actually thought that the cut wasn't perfect, that they needed to
15:50
wait a fraction longer before he saw Homer on the couch. Um. But
15:56
then the second time, Yeah, absolute perfection. I just feel like this
15:58
is the first time I can remember we're both the A and the B plot.
16:03
Don't get wrapped up. They just probably yeah, because not normally Margin
16:07
Home would have at least had a discussion where they're sort of they're happy with
16:10
each other again. You can't leave the Simpsons open ended like that. Says
16:14
that Matt Selman eventually became a writer on Seinfeld after two years of failed spec
16:18
scripts, and I wonder if this was one of those scripts that he pulled
16:21
out of the draws a chop. Yeah, he did write, That's how
16:26
he got on The Simpsons, I believe. Yeah, okay, yeah,
16:30
submitted a spec script for Sinfeldum of his writing on The Simpsons, Matt said,
16:36
the hardest thing that we have to try, that we have to try,
16:40
it must be due, is to try and make each episode as good
16:42
as everything that's come before it. We have a legacy of greatness and you
16:45
don't want to be the person that ruins the Simpsons. And I just wonder
16:48
if maybe Matt could have done with putting that on a post it note on
16:51
his desk while he was writing this episode. Harsh words from Mitch green Duck.
16:56
So overall, I'm not gonna lie. I enjoyed. You have to
17:00
turn your brain off because there's a lot of shit that's just like it feels
17:03
like the Ralph moment I didn't like. I was just bothered by the end
17:07
had nothing got wrapped up. That's what annoyed me the most. I know
17:10
you annoyed with most of the episode, and I've got here. I'm enjoying
17:12
this play, but I hope it leads to something and it didn't and it
17:15
didn't. Know, Yeah, like the same deal. I enjoyed the play,
17:19
And I think that that in another time and place, that that could
17:22
have been a really good segment in and of itself was a really good segment.
17:26
It was just a setup skin of making the sexiest remark. Yeah,
17:30
and that did not Like you didn't need five minutes worth of play for that
17:33
set up to actually work. It could have happened to any given It could
17:37
have happened in any number of what Edna, Yeah, I could have said
17:41
it to Edna. He it could have just been a school assembly. Like,
17:45
there's a million different ways that that could have happened that don't take five
17:48
minutes to introduce. It just felt like it was going a very long time.
17:52
Next question, you were there eating the paste. My first question,
17:56
this is the easiest question of all. What was Lisa's new name not toilet?
18:03
I forgot her first name. It was Boyman, Jack Boyman, Jake,
18:07
Jake damn, Um, do you just not put trivia questions together anymore?
18:12
I'd watched this on one lunch break at work. It's been an insanely
18:15
busy week for me. I'm sorry, so no, I didn't have time
18:18
to actually take notes. Um. I just watched it as recently as I
18:21
possibly could. Um the Mitch grint away. Look, I tried. What
18:30
was the symbol on Lisa's T shirt when she became Jake and Adam? I
18:37
thought it was going now it was a football? Oh okay, yeah,
18:40
a boy? Yeah makes sense. Second question, what was Marge studying when
18:44
Homer interrupted they were younger? Flashback calculus? Yeah, and she's not allowed
18:48
to do all the calculat That was a very good joke. Yes, now
18:52
I haven't been able to do all the calculus that. What was the equation
18:57
that Lisa souls on the white board or incorrectly solved to be fair minus five
19:06
plus five equals what white times? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, next question
19:11
from you that you're you're up next? Oh okay, sorry that was your
19:15
question. Yeah? What color skirt or skinner wearing pink pink blouse? What
19:21
was Carney's nickname for Millhouse Carney? Is it Carney. Is Carney the board
19:27
one? Oh, Kearney, Kearney, Well, part of me I was
19:33
thinking of Emma Carney, the AFLW player. Kearney lost on me. I
19:41
apologize mil Jew, mil Jew, which isn't that bad? On the on
19:45
the vague subject of mill or Jew. More to the point, did you
19:49
see Brian Cranston's Martin Mountain Jew Super Bowl ad? Men's fucking bizarre? A
19:56
parody of talking about it though the shining, I am talking about it,
20:00
I'm not buying the drink. Was anyone ever buying Mountain Jew? Parody of
20:03
I used to love mountain dew? Really? What is it like a lemonade?
20:07
I've never dreamed of. Yeah, it just never looked appealing to me.
20:11
I had a well when I was younger. I think it was a
20:15
green drink. I used to have a T shirt with in the Mountain Dew
20:19
logo called Brokeback Mountain Dew Do. The dude was the Slen Twin. Du
20:29
made it myself. Um, I say, T shirt, tattoo whatever.
20:33
Um, we all make choices. I yeah, so it's a parody of
20:40
the shining. But it's just you're waiting for something to happen that dulan't quite
20:45
happened and what was this episode? Yeah, and it's kind of like,
20:48
why is Cranston doing this of all people? It's probably three million dollars.
20:52
Yeah, but there's that like it must have looked better on script, like
20:56
on the page than what it turned into. He's just doing from winning the
21:00
Ryan Brian Murray, Bill rad Ground for cheap. Yeah, every day is
21:06
different. In the jeep. That was really good. I am. I
21:08
usually sit down and watch all the Super Bowl commercials, having had a chance
21:11
too. I've ever seen those two Okay that we were watching it at work
21:15
on the on the TV. Yeah, I think Galaxy's Edge got every single
21:18
fucking commercial, but just about it was. I think one of my favorite
21:22
super Bowl ones for recent years was when they had Um Leonard Nimoy and Zachary
21:29
Quinto as the duelings. Wow, it's dueling spots. Um. I think
21:34
it was for a car commercial. But yeah, very very cool. I
21:37
might at the end of this episode I'll show it to you. Cool.
21:40
I mean Donald commercial was pretty good. Actually, it was just a bunch
21:42
of band of people waking up after various nights out or it's just how different
21:48
people look when they wake up, situations they wake up in, and then
21:51
it's a guy delivering uber eats McDonald's to get you ready for the day.
21:55
It was good, right, so that was your final question one, Yeah,
21:59
I think so, get into the review. The original air date was
22:04
April thirtieth, twenty six, not Tribo Ga gag is. Characters are surprised,
22:10
character surprised, the family home has a heart attack. Yeah right,
22:12
Yeah, kicks off with the Springfield theater district and there's really not much to
22:18
explain to chiscratchy tablets, a linking parody. I thought it was gonna be
22:22
a camelot But do you feel like all they really had here was that the
22:26
circle of knife sounds like the circle of life, and then they built the
22:30
rest of it around that, but it didn't add a lot else. Yeah,
22:33
it's sort of Yeah. I enjoyed it. Though I enjoyed the visual.
22:37
I enjoyed the general gist of theater going and that sort of stuff.
22:41
And it's kind of a funny juxtaposition to have your usual waspy theater going types
22:45
going to watch this and then the Simpsons family sitting in the midst of it
22:49
all. I love marg being worried and interact with her. That's exactly what
22:52
my mum would be like, that's what they do. Have you been to
22:55
see the linking? No? I haven't. Actually, the animals come in
22:59
the ards at the start when this thing circle of life. Yeah, okay,
23:00
that's kind of cool. So the director comes out, she's a female
23:03
director. We also got the home at dumb Down Jack with the book,
23:06
which I was just like, yeah, yeah, forgettable. The doctor comes
23:08
out, she's female. Skinner makes the sex of remarks about girls are being
23:11
smart and yeah. It just felt very out of character, first kind to
23:15
say that, to say it, but then be to insist on it,
23:18
and then see talking the massive mishandling of it after yeah, yeah and again.
23:22
Whilst I could understand that if the episode was setting Skinner up as being
23:29
a foil for any number of men who have publicly done this and then said
23:34
something really stupid not handled the scandal well afterwards, that would be fine,
23:37
except the episode doesn't appear to see Skinner as the bad guy here. He
23:44
loses his job. It's almost like the victim. But that's the way he
23:48
plays at PSK. You know, he has to become the ground ski Asystem
23:51
exactly, and it's sort of kind of got one foot in his camp in
23:56
doing that. You can imagine people who think the ways you can act in
24:00
this would watch this going damn fucking right. We can't even depend on anything
24:02
anymore. Yeah, exactly. You can't even say that all women are shit

me to be back in my hometown Springfield. She also graduated from Springfield Elementary.
25:00
Principal Skinner, you know, Julianna, it's no surprise you became such
25:03
a success. You always got straight a's in school. Well I remember getting
25:08
a bee or two in math. Ha ha, Well, of course he
25:11
did. You are a girl. No, all I meant was, from
25:17
what I've seen, boys are better at math science, the real subjects there.
25:22
That should put the matter behind us. Calm down, Calm down.
25:27
I'm sure Principal Skinner didn't mean girls are inherently inferior. Oh, of course
25:32
not. I don't know why girls are worse. One thing we can all
25:36
agree on, though, This little lady sure looks pretty tonight, am I
25:40
Right? So then the mop of protesting at the school not even say that
25:45
someone shit at maths because they're a woman, even say woman in maths.
25:51
Gonna fix it. He's gonna pretend like he agrees. Again, like that
25:53
element of it that can work is satire. If he's not the hero,
26:00
or if he's not even just ambivalent treated ambivalently. They have the first of
26:04
a diversity forum, or first of many, as he says, as many
26:07
Skinner worth address. And he just doesn't know what to say. He puts
26:11
his foot in it. Today we celebrate the first of many, many,
26:15
many, many diversity forums. Why is it that women appear to be worse
26:19
at math than men? What is the source of this illusion? Or is
26:23
I call it the biggest lie ever told? You're a worse version of Hitler.
26:29
Please believe me. I understand the problems of women. See the principles
26:36
are ranny? Am I wearing women's clothes? I didn't notice when I look
26:41
in my closet, I don't see male clothes or female clothes. They're all
26:47
the same. Are you saying that men and women are identical? Oh?
26:51
No, of course not. Women are unique in every way. No,
26:53
he's saying women and men aren't equal. No, no, no, it's
26:57
the differences, which there are none, that make the saneness exceptional. Just
27:04
tell me what to say. At first, I'm watching someone I feel bad
27:10
for skinner, But then I realized, no, you're saying the wrong things.
27:12
Mate, Yes, he's being an asshole. It would you say he's
27:17
being an asshole though? Or is he just? Yes? You can't put
27:19
on address to show to try to make a point about I don't even see
27:26
your gender, Like, would you would you see it that was doing it
27:30
deliberately. You've already proved that you do. If by the end he understood
27:33
that what he did was wrong, would you still look at him now as
27:37
being an asshole? I don't think it's more. See if he was doing
27:40
this and then by the end he was like, oh wow, I really
27:41
shouldn't have done that. Now I understand why. Then at this point it's
27:45
like he's not being an asshole. He's just doing something. Doesn't realize he's
27:47
wrong. Correct If he learns, he's If he learns the less, but
27:48
he doesn't, that's why it's bad. Yeah, that's what they needed to
27:52
have him understand what he's doing is wrong. If you don't, and then
27:55
he just feels people watching going yeah, fuck off at leave Skinner alone.
27:59
It's like if you've got a dog in a movie that and the dog shits
28:02
in the house, it's not till the trained in the lane. That's like
28:03
your comedy things. The dog is always shitting. If that dog doesn't learn
28:07
to shit outside by the end of the movie, that's a ship dog,
28:11
bad dog. Yeah. If it does learn to go outside, it's a
28:14
beautiful dog and you love it. You're gonna be really upset when the farmer
28:15
takes it out back and puts a shotgun to its head, because that's what
28:18
happens to movie dogs kids. One dog, well, nearly the dog in
28:23
Babe the dog wasn't a pig going to be killed? No, because it
28:29
attacked. Yeah, yeahma, hogger was going to kill Oh yeah, farmer,
28:33
scary time monster. And then the second one, the dog nearly hangs
28:36
itself from the bridge. What the city one o the dogs? The dogs
28:40
hanging from a bridge? Why? I can't remember how. I can't remember
28:45
how I got that situation. But I was hanging from the bridge. Wait,
28:47
I'm gonna wata google this. It could be wrong. What happens when
28:49
you let George Miller direct a kids film? I've googled Babe Pig, City
28:53
Dog Bridge. So you have the dog hanging from the bridge. So it
28:57
was a pit ball. Yeah, I was hanging from the snakes hanging upside
29:02
down. That's a different thing wrapped around his neck was facing down. Though
29:06
I don't know. It's a dog hanging from the bridge and was going to
29:07
die. Dogs get treated poorly in Babe films. That's the best. That's
29:11
the moral that's the point. Yes, don't if you dog with James Cromwell,
29:15
the skinner gets replaced by France to Domant aka Melanie Uppuot. She splits
29:18
the school in half boys and girls. Then it ends with the boys forced
29:22
to do ball and dancing, which was a really weird visual was strange.
29:26
I didn't mind it from the perspective of the audience though, when you just
29:30
see charmers kind of conduct orchestrating the music or conducting the music seemed to be
29:37
flat. Yeah, the family are all at breakfast and they do the whole
29:41
reminding the views of the story what they're splitting the kids, the boys and
29:44
girls at school. We got the part Junior gag. I did like that.
29:48
That's what they would normally do with mister teeney Well, I was gonna
29:52
say, like it's it's good, but it is also almost a beat for
29:56
beat ripoff of the naked gun, one of the most famous naked gum jokes
30:00
ever off Nice Baba and then there's an actual baby. You just don't have
30:04
this episode. Well, I mean, if you gotta rip off, let's
30:07
steal a joke from a movie from the eighties. It's gotta be an artists.
30:12
All this whong about girls and man as silly. Women are as smart
30:17
as man. Why a woman invented liquid paper? Well, you know what,
30:22
a man invented actual paper. Well, a woman also invented the windshell
30:26
wiper, which goes great with another male invention, the car. I think
30:33
a woman came up with nylon stockings. I mean probably, we certainly use
30:37
them. Let see, men also have rocket ships, suspension bridges, constitutional
30:42
government. It's no shoes, bread knuckles, pinball machines, the Renaissance?
30:49
Why did women invent sleeping on the couch? Have you ever been banished to
30:55
the couch? No, I'm my house. I've never been banished. Have
31:02
you has ever got to a point where I've never been banished to the couch
31:04
because I put a door lock that can only be opened if you solve algebra.
31:11
Have you banished ash to the couch? No? No, no,
31:15
We've never had any fights that have been couchworthy. I feel like if you're
31:18
at the point where you're banishing the other person to another room, something needs
31:22
to be done. Yeah, let go see a council. It should never
31:26
get to that point. You should never go to sleep angry at each other
31:30
no down bottle. Anyway, I've never gone to sleep angry at out.
31:33
She's probably going to sleep angry at me, but never like she still stayed
31:36
next to me. But although, to be honest, almost worse because you
31:40
just feel anger radiating off the other person. Like have you ever got I've
31:45
never got an elbow back. No. But somehow, even though it's just
31:48
someone laying you know how they're laying down, you're laying down, you can
31:52
feel the tension. You can feel them being awake, yeah, like they're
31:56
not moving, but you're like, this is just just not I can feel
32:00
her being angry. It's like when you can feel someone's watching you, like
32:02
someone's there, but it's a thousand times worse. Yeah. Yeah, when
32:07
it's your partner angry in the same bed. Yeah, knowing cut a few
32:09
genitals in mid of the night if they wanted to, And you also know
32:13
that you've probably got two more days of it. I don't think I've ever
32:17
been in that situation. I think we've had a few blobs, but nothing
32:20
that last two days. I can see you doing something to pissash off,
32:22
though, does that Oh yeah, it's all been just your mum On the
32:28
other hand, No, that was last week. Well we up to so
32:34
skinners on the new principles should divide. Weirdly, Mum insists that I come
32:37
over and sleep next to her when she's mad at me, just so I
32:38
feel less. Kids are all arrive at school, are really painting a school.
32:43
So it's tw different colors that the girls they were to go and the
32:45
boys and whatnot. And the girls get like an uplifting farewell from Otto and
32:47
the boys are all locked in a cage. That was funny as well,
32:51
that was very cool like that obviously that sets the scene that the boys are
32:53
going to go to hell. Yeah. I don't get why they have to
32:57
treat the boys differently. I treat them like the animals. Well why is
33:01
it that? What is about having girls in the room that stops them from
33:04
just like that? Anyway? So why why do they not have like that
33:07
when the girls are they don't like the girls? Yeah, yeah, so
33:09
why they're not biding the girls? Yeah, just suddenly become a law unto
33:13
themselves. Yeah, it's not like there's no authority figure and it's still a
33:15
teacher had that had the school descended to that because they didn't have a teacher
33:20
anymore. That would be one thing of the flies or something. Yeah,
33:22
just because there's no girl in the classroom, that's it's not the case.
33:28
Sit there with your wighing out, but you're not going to cause anarchy all
33:30
the time. Have you ever done at school? Had my wing out twice?
33:35
You had your wing out twice at school on purpose? I feel like
33:42
it's a crime that you're admitting to. We're up to, So, Lisa,
33:49
my wing was my business. I was in school, lisas the dooring,
33:52
all the painting by women in the girls side of the school. Doesn't
33:57
like their new approach to math though, and as you mentioned at the start,
34:00
it's just weird, Like they say that girls is ever fair, crack
34:01
at mats and not dumb, yet when it comes to learning mats they portray
34:07
them as basically Yeah, they basically proved Skinner's point in Lisa realized that she
34:13
watches the boys that can be proved or should be proved. No, it
34:15
sort of goes against the moral of this episode. Yeah, yeah. She
34:19
sneaks into the boys school for a mental challenge, Um tells the wolf to
34:22
go away, sees the class learning gets it wrong. It's happy that she
34:25
got it wrong. She's just like I said, we know Lisa's happy.
34:29
Yeah. Yeah, Martin got it right, didn't he know? Because she
34:34
the first the first equation he got wrong because he forgot about the cone um
34:38
or about the carrot knows the area of the carrot knows. Oh, of
34:43
course, yeah, one third something times the base the skin at the base
34:45
times skin is now the assistant groundskeeper. No girl is allowed, Prince,
34:52
not Skinner. It's groundskeeper Skinner now assistant clowns keeper. Yeah, puke,
34:58
assistant groundskeeper Skinner. Do you think it's wrong that I can't get the best
35:01
math education because I'm a girl. I don't have any opinions anymore. All
35:07
I know is that no one is better than anyone else, and everyone is
35:08
the best at everything. Not you. You're the worst. Now get closing
35:13
in those squirrels. Please be reasonable. I'm sure we could this clip here,
35:28
this quote here, Everyone is the best at everything. This is true
35:30
to an extent when it comes, and I've mentioned it before. I was
35:32
kick, You're no less celebrated goal anymore. Yeah, scoring doesn't matter.
35:37
Yep, that's poors shit. Absolutely play sport to compete, yes, and
35:42
everyone that's the problem. Everyone is not the best at everything. Yeah,
35:45
it's also vital lessons to occasionally learn that you will fail. Outsides. Yes,
35:50
the squirrels poisoning skin to there suddenly became happy Tree Friends. Yeah,
35:54
I was really bizarre, Like I was just like, Okay, I guess
35:58
Happy Tree Friends were still a thing. I don't know when that was.
36:00
I really don't remember. Um, I completely forgot it exist unto you just
36:04
mentioned it. Yeah, it's quite crank Yankees, remember that was the thing.
36:07
Oh yeah, yeah, I never watched it as it used to be
36:09
on like before sighting the South Park. I think i'd always see like the
36:13
last one minutes. Yeah, I there was a time that prank phone calls
36:16
for the height of comedy. You kicked my dog? Yeah? Um I
36:22
I didn't mind the squirrel joke certainly where it started, like the idea of
36:27
poisoned their squirrels, that sounds like something that Willie would do. But then
36:30
they have them actually pulled the poison into his mouth. Kinners. Actually,
36:34
well that well, that's the resolution. That's why Skinner didn't learn anything.
36:37
He got killed by squirrels. Well he came back, though, how do
36:39
we see him again? But he's just brain dead. Possibly Lisa is talking
36:44
to Marge. Let me get the flashback he of Hommer interrupting her learning the
36:46
calculus when it happened, make Dunbergen erode some beach. Oh, I love
36:55
too, but I've got my calculus final tomorrow, My baby. The only
37:00
math you need is you plush me equals forever. Oh since then, I
37:08
haven't been able to do any of the calculus I've encountered in my daily life.
37:14
But that's not going to happen to you. It's very true you never
37:16
encounter maths in your day to day life. It's very Maths is very,
37:20
very pointless some stuff. I guess maybe when it comes to playing snooker.
37:25
Yeah, I would love to have a protracted with me on the table.
37:28
Yeah yeah. But besides that, I actually do or if I'm like,
37:31
the amount of times I'm like angle of incidents has to equal to the angle
37:35
of um fuck whatever the yeah, the exit angle. This is the thing.
37:38
Do kids still write at school or alto pretty much all laptops? Now?
37:43
I think that's a bit sad. HM. Imagine like not being able
37:46
to write? Well, why do they teach kids to write in primers?
37:50
With shouse for future historians. Yeah what why why teach me how to write
37:53
in primary school? I gotta know how to pass notes to your first love.
37:58
Yeah that's true, draw tee pictures of the teacher and whatnot, sick
38:01
notes, how to forge them. Yeah, there's there's still some skills that
38:06
you can use with a pen. Did you ever a forge your Paris and
38:08
I used to practice some peple times. Yeah, my ms was talking moms
38:13
is impossible. My dads were very jadan over. What I realized when I
38:15
got to high school is that I'd never be able to get dad's right.
38:16
But I could make up one one. Just make up a signature that has
38:22
a D in it. Yeah, that'd be fine. Not the first name,
38:25
just a D squint. Yeah, well his first name is Darren's.
38:29
I mean like just deep Dan squiggle. Okay, yeah, it's gonna be
38:34
d G squiggle. What fully players do that? Yeah? First letter,
38:37
the last name into just a cross march suggest that Lisa dressed up as a
38:42
boy. Um han't walks in. He could put full by it. Invites
38:45
to the movies, you know, invite our kids the cool friend. Yeah,
38:49
Lisa is then at school and it's really, actually really good acting from
38:52
the yardly here ye playing the boy? That really and and this is the
38:57
sort of stuff that I really did like that. Um bend it like Beckham
39:00
style? Um, what was it about a boy? She's no, there's
39:05
something else. She's the the man. Yeah, bye, I can kiss
39:09
the Amanda Show. I used to love the Amanda Show. I really don't
39:13
you kill me? I never saw it. Okay, you're gonna judge.
39:15
Um, But I wonder if this was the voice she pitched to do bart
39:20
this was her boy voice. Interesting, that would be a cool thing to
39:24
do for your for your own Easter egg. Like, I'm just gonna slip
39:28
this in. Yeah, ow, what are you playing? Punch for a
39:31
punch? How So? What's your name, Nuby, I'm a Jake.
39:37
That's your Christian name. What's your surname? Boy man? Boyman? Jake,
39:44
boyman. You have toilet paper on your shoe? Nah, yeah,
39:49
I guess they do. I'm gonna call you toilet. My name isn't toilet,
39:53
it's jake. Hey, you're talking toilet toilet. They want to know
40:00
his last name. That's actually true. Boys just referred to each other as
40:05
our last names. And she goes with boy man. They named her toilet
40:07
what I don't name a toilet? I can't remember because she had toilet paper
40:12
stuck to her till herp of stuff to the shoe. Yeah. They're in
40:15
class and Nelson has the gun drawing. I didn't appreciate all the guns in
40:20
this. I guess do kids still like that when as a kid I wasn't.
40:23
I wasn't really Presumably guns, presumably young boys would still play soldier and
40:29
play with pretend guns and that sort of thing. Lisa gets the equation wrong,
40:31
and this is where she's happy. Bat she gets the equation wrong.
40:34
Um. Yeah, they're in the cafeteria. Did you notice here that Ralph
40:37
is in the fetal position on the ground. Oh no, I missed that.
40:39
Yeah. I thought they're going to reference Ralph here. Know you was
40:43
just hunched on the ground. Yeah, just a broken little little man.
40:46
Um. I did enjoy asking me your house about Lisa. I had to
40:51
break it off. Yea clinging that's really really good, And I'm glad that
40:55
she didn't come clean there. Yeah. Yeah, Actually her voice does get
41:00
high pitch yeah yeah yeah. So do you miss having the girls around?
41:04
Nah? Girls never really got me. Did you know Lisa Simpson? I
41:08
heard she was pretty cool Lisa. Oh yeah, we totally had a thing,
41:14
but I had to break it off. What the hell are you talking
41:17
about? She got too clingy. Millhouse doesn't do clingy. I have to
41:22
cove that was what eating food spills the food on Nelson. This here,
41:32
though, if you're gonna do this, you're gonna go all the way.
41:37
If you're gonna have Nelson beat Lisa up, she gotta show some signs of
41:40
it. I understand why you can't show the repercussions of a male beating a
41:45
female, then don't do it in the first place. Like I said,
41:47
you mean likes to be has to be something, not just her crying.
41:52
Her pants were like, her clothes were a little bit scuffed. If Bard
41:55
comes in saying Nelson really wailed on this kid at school today, Remember when
42:00
Barker beaten up by Nelson, he can't having a trash heroid. Yeah,
42:06
I understand why you can't have felt comfortable. I felt uncomfortable just hearing a
42:09
cry. To be honest, it shouldn't have happened. Yeah, you don't
42:14
need to do that. Why did you need to do that? Yeah?
42:15
No, that's a good point. She didn't need to be beaten up,
42:17
so it could have actually talked away out of it. I mean perfect.
42:21
Resolution could have just been that the whole I love you, I love you,
42:24
and then they start that fight and then Nelson starts fighting someone else and
42:28
she slips away. Yeah. Perfect. Then you don't have to watch Lisa
42:30
or be aware that Lisa has been beaten up by a bigger, meaner kid.
42:35
What you could do is you have her runoff sort of scared, and
42:37
Bark goes something not right about her, follows her, sees her sort of
42:40
behind a dumpster or something she comes clean to. But yeah, you didn't
42:44
need a girl getting beaten up by a boy. I know you didn't see
42:46
it, but I wasn't comfortable to later have her, like, to have
42:50
her be the victim of violence and then perpetrate violence banks that even more in
42:52
Yeah, yeah, it just I didn't sit well with me at all.
42:57
Hay Lies, you'll missed it. While you were at girls' school, Nelson
43:01
totally wailed on this door. Oh my god, that's right, I'm toilet
43:16
toilet. So did you tell Mommy got beat up? Not yet? If
43:22
I do, she'll never let me go to the boys math class again.
43:27
Hey, no one with a choice should ever have to be a girl.
43:30
I'll teach you how to be a boy. You would do that for me?
43:32
That is so sweet? You're a boy? Nothing is sweet? How
43:37
that hurt? Sweet? Now, when you eat like a boy, only
43:42
two French fibes and five should make it into your mouth. If they fall
43:46
on the floor, you want them more because then they come with extra toppings.
43:54
I'm gonna be sick awesome doing that guy's bag while he's not looking.
44:00
I am looking, and Duke start a puke war that you cannot finish.
44:04
Good night. Madge is still angry at Homer. They're in bed talking about
44:07
it. Missus, where could keep the doghouse? So Homer? Still it
44:09
didn't learn anything, but at least it was funny. Yeah, Lisa,
44:15
I must then pick a fight. So she picks Ralph as we mentioned,
44:17
and I just felt so horrible. Yeah. Now from a final test to
44:22
fully become a man, you must pick a fight with someone weaker than you.
44:28
A fight. Haven't been rejecting the last part of me that's still a
44:31
girl. Do it, Lisa, you'll be greater than or equal two boys.
44:37
Even though you're only eight, your possibilities are infinite twenty seven. Okay,
44:45
I'll do it, But whom should I beat up? These darts are
44:50
itchy? Fine, I'll beat up Ralph. Give me a lunch money.
44:57
Okay, I guess I'm gonna have to get this party started. Fight fight,
45:06
fight, forgive me for this. You just beat up the most harmless
45:17
kid in school. Well done, Hey, toilet, I want to play
45:24
guns. Sure, and again I get the line in there about you know
45:37
what a man like you know until you've picked on someone weaker than you.
45:42
That's funny. That is a that's a funny joke about toxic masculinity, but
45:45
don't show it. But don't actually go ahead with that at least because then
45:49
with a character that wouldn't do it undercuts everything that you just said. So's
45:52
Lisa's going against everything she believes in order to be to fit in with these
45:54
people that she doesn't need to fit in with. It's like, yeah,
45:57
like I just I don't know, Yeah, don't beat up Ralph. It
46:00
reminded me of when um, this little Wiggie when they threw them in this
46:06
puddle and whatnot. It just wasn't fun at all. Lisa now fits in.
46:09
Now they're accepting it because she beat up the disabled child gets at the
46:14
montage, so she's playing guns? Whatnot? The people playing in Millhouse's eye
46:16
weird. He wears glasses, yes, well, and they're big glasses too,
46:22
but the plane was doing some loops. HiT's in the front of the
46:25
glasses coming coming on the upshot. He just got in underneath. Lisa then
46:31
wins yet Standing at cheap and Awards? And how long has she been at
46:34
the school? Four? She hasn't enrolled. She just she just snuck into
46:37
the Has there been a what the hell is going on here? What I
46:42
felt like? The Outstanding Achievement award hinted it there being a passage of time?
46:46
Okay, they haven't. They haven't indiscriminated amount of time. They haven't
46:51
asked where's Lisa at the girl's calling more? Well, they're too busy feeling
46:55
Yeah, She reveals herself, but claims it's because she was a boy,
47:00
That's why she's good at maths. Now, why's the auditorium in the same
47:02
room? Everything else is separated, but boys and girls are still in the
47:05
same auditorium. They're just divided. This the boys and the girls went in.
47:08
It was just the boys. Now the girls are there because the girls
47:12
were equally shocked, weren't they? Yeah, yeah, that's any more questions.
47:17
Trophy gets throne, hits Ralph again. Now she's been beaten up by
47:21
both Lisas or whatever. It's um poor Ralph not good. At least that
47:25
one was an accident. Yeah. Lisa then realized that boylife is more kle
47:29
than she. I don't. I don't. What is the lesson Lisa learns
47:31
from this episode? They try to play it off like she's learned a lesson.
47:35
Yeah, they try to do the South Park I've learned something today,
47:37
but she hasn't and I haven't. It's like, oh, boy's life isn't
47:40
as easy, and you know, isn't as what its cracked up to be.
47:44
I'm what what? What? What do you think this? What has
47:49
happened in this episode? What is her final? She says something on the
47:51
lines of that it's not as cruzies, it's all the lines. It's not
47:53
as cruzy as what she thought it was to be a boy? What have
47:57
I become? I always thought the boys had it easier. No he didn't.
48:00
You just thought the boys got to do maths. Yeah, um like
48:04
boys having it easier was never a point in this episode, nor hasn't ever
48:08
been a point with Lisa. But now I see their world is more cruel
48:12
and sadistic than I ever imagined. Yeah, boys cheering. Um I did
48:16
get better at math. He didn't. You just did the math that you
48:19
already knew. But it was only by abandoning everything that I believed in.
48:23
You didn't get better at math. You were just able to study math the
48:27
way you'd always been studying it. Well, that's right. Then they actually
48:30
do cut her off. So I guess the real reason we don't see many
48:32
women in maths and science is dot dot dot. Would you hurry it up?
48:35
Please? You're cutting into the award for best flouts. That's what I've
48:37
got. Do they have a message and then they forgot what it was.
48:40
Whatever the answer is, I'm glad I'm a girl, and I'm glad I'm
48:44
good at math. What happened? I don't get it. I get the
48:50
thing of they may be going with the reason that we don't see many women
48:55
women in maths and science, and then she gets cut off by a man,
48:58
So that could be the that they're going something there. Um, that's
49:04
the best I've got. I didn't actually look at it like that. That
49:06
could be the game he was going for. Yeah, yeah, but then
49:08
the flowers do not see much of it, do not see any criminally under
49:15
under estimated. And there's probably quite a number of examples throughout history of female
49:21
scientists whose um work went unnoticed or ignored for decades before a man looked at
49:29
it, before a man had the idea that someone else had. Basically,
49:32
but I don't understand. But if your point is that a men are holding
49:36
women back from learning mats, then why did you have a girl have to
49:38
become a boy in order to learn I guess No, yeah that work,
49:43
that works. Yeah, um, but the tracks from that women not is
49:46
that the women weren't trying to learn actly. That's why I'm like, I'm
49:50
confused. Yeah, the women aren't trying in this episode. Yeah yeah,
49:53
so yeah, like they show yeah, in the scenes where they should be
50:00
building up what is possible, they show the worst of it. They pander
50:06
to what the people of Skinner's viewpoint is. So like, here's this guy
50:12
who said this thing that's really stupid. But by the way, he was
50:15
right. But he's been punished he shouldn't have been, and now he just
50:16
thinks that he doesn't want to have opinions. I think they play enough too
50:21
much that how horrible boys are, Like, there are horrible boys and there
50:24
are horrible girls. Not all boys I like this, Yeah, not all
50:30
girls like that, and so on and so forth. The episode is over
50:34
swing and some sort of miss what do we learn? What'd you learn from
50:38
the episode, Mitch? That thirty four year old men shouldn't write from your
50:42
old girl about sexism? Yeah, that's probably it. Maybe the Simpsons Writer's
50:46
Room in two thousand and six was lacking in diversity. Thank you for listening
50:51
to a review of Girls Just Want to Have Sums. It was not a
50:54
fantastic episode. There are parts of it that I enjoyed, but the overall
50:59
story just left me befuddled. It just I don't think it knew what it
51:01
wanted to do. Word Yeah, berfuddled. Yeah, I enjoy perfuddled.
51:06
That's good. Probably the highlight of this episode. I thought I thought it
51:09
knew what it wanted to be, and by the end of it it was
51:12
like, I don't think it did. I don't think it had any fucking
51:15
clue what it wanted to be. What it founds like the angry It feels
51:20
like the angry manifesto of a postal worker before he goes into work and starts
51:27
killing all of the female employees. This is the kind of episode where you
51:30
really should have had a woman write it. It was directed by a woman,
51:34
but it was written by a male directed by a woman. Yeah,
51:36
directed by Nancy cruz Um. I would like it. I would honestly be
51:43
very interests funny. Her first episode should directed Simpson's Bible Stories. Wow,
51:51
I would read not a good team. Her and Matt not a good team.
51:53
I would really like to know in their heart of hearts what were they
51:58
trying to say? Yeah, because I want to believe in the best.
52:02
I'm sure he can explain something to us. Yeah, I just want to
52:07
know what happened to the school? How did it's going to get his job
52:09
back? How did home we get out of the actual doghouse? How did
52:13
he get out of the doghouse? Did he have to go via the couch?
52:15
You first have to apologize to Sound as a little helper, make his
52:17
way back to the couch, and then apologize to mar Just to get back
52:20
to the bed. You have to go back through the hierarchy. Just yeah,
52:22
where it was Maggie in all of this a bit of a mess.
52:24
Yeah, Maygie doesn't have it appeared maybe at the play. But hope you
52:28
enjoyed that set. How did they get the tickets? Look like a really
52:31
expensive play. I hope you thought that was your hundred dollars worth seth But
52:37
thank you so much for getting us for choosing that one. It was nice
52:40
to have Mitch back after six long seasons. As you were recording this February
52:47
fourth, twenty nineteen, twenty twenty. Yeah, man, man, time
52:52
is flying. Imagine the things that is that will be different right now.
52:55
This, by the way, people Nostril has this episode is why you're not
53:00
hearing mentioned anymore, because it would just be a weekly rant. Yeah,
53:04
he hasn't got it in him. Yeah no, and you don't have it
53:07
in you like listeners don't have it in you. No, I'm like this.
53:13
I'm sure GLD could find a Probably, I'll be honest. If there
53:15
are people listening now, they probably never listened to the first ten seasons,
53:20
Like who the fuck is this guy? This could suddenly come in to shit
53:23
all over the show. Where's guy for his delightful charm? Yeah? Well
53:30
if you think, well, I'll tell you what if you think that,
53:31
if this is his attitude, he's not going to make it anywhere in the
53:34
podcast industry. I guarantee you that guy could put a positive bit on this
53:37
episode somehow. It's because he's a misogynist. Oh, any guys, were
53:46
any final words for listeners? Uh? Microphones are measured by women? Who
53:53
do you need to stop me? Now? I need to think of somewhere
53:57
to go with it. I was um trying to think of, like stay
54:00
on thame of this episode? No ending? Why? Why would why would
54:02
a woman invent a microphone too amplify the voice of the husband, But she
54:09
so dearly loves Let's everyone here, He's wisdom.
