  Speaker 1: you blue Well at the whale.

  Speaker 2: Check it out world's biggest, aren't it far? You just
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: made above wading four finger discount dude.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Welcome to four figure discoup where this week we're going
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: to be squirting a whale Hondano. I didn't realize we're
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: going to be doing that this episode. Okay, but I'm
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: ill prepared. But I'm guy, yes quite in the whale.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: We I've already actually reviewed this one with Mitch many
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: moons ago. Someone paid one hundred dollars for us to
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: specifically review this one, really, and I remember liking it
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: a lot more when we did it back to then
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: this one here, I want to review it now. Maybe
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: it's because we've been doing a lot more season twenty
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: one episod. I'm seeing more trends of things that I
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: don't like, in particular characters and sort of plot points
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: and beats and whatnot. I saw a lot of that
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: in here as well. There was a lot to enjoy
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: in this story, but also a lot of it when
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: I just went why are we doing this? As well?
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Just sort of pick a lane and say in it, well, yeah.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: I mean this does feel like, oh, we had two
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: ideas for episodes, but we couldn't quite flesh them both out.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: So let's take let's go so far with one and
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: then let's move on to the other one with the
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: two stories for you then, so it's like, okay, well,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: energy costs too much, let's get off grid. How can
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: we do that. Let's get a wind turbine comic Shenannigans
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: ensue there's too much wind. Ah, Okay. Then it does
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: happen a lot in the Simpsons, though, where they have
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: just a bunch of shit happens in the first act
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: that leads to the main story. But you really didn't
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: really feel like an inciting incident. It felt more like
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: an It felt four than and insight. I don't like
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: it when they waste too much time on that setup career.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Go ah, so that's not the that's what this is
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: going to be about. Okay, Yeah, that's what you That's
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: what you got the feeling the episode was going to
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: be about. It's like, yeah, an energy centered episode. I
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: always lost a living kind of stif I go back
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: to the Tremopoline episode where you know, a good the
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: first third of the episode is home of getting this
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: trampoline and turn into a theme park and kids get
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: injured and blah blah blah, and that all leads to
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: the self help guru voiced by other books coming to
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: spring But it's like, ah, so all that has nothing
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: to really do in the episode. Yeah, I'm gonna have
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: to revisit that episode, which is one of my favorites.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: But yeah, the whole trampoline bit with felt like really
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: two or three scene, No, it goes it's the entire
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: first act. Really, Yeah, that's theeropoline and yeah, and then
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: he gets it and people get injured and all that
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff that feels like, yeah, it's like maybe
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: five minutes of the episode or something like that. I
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: don't know, maybe they have been the act of seven minutes. Okay,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: time has no meaning anymore. Yeah, but then there's a storm,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Whaler's beached itself and yeah, the rest of the episode
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: is just that and Least's reaction to it, and I
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: guess the community is reaction to it as well. The
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Springfield community is reaction to it. Yeah, I felt odd.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: I feel like this could have been almost like a
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: mini movie plot just if handled correctly. If it was
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: just focusing on the whale because to feel like there's
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: a lot of things I needed to explore there that
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: they didn't have real time too, because I don't think
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: we really had enough time to be emotionally connected to
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: this whale. No, And that's the thing I mean thinking
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: about this episode and thinking about this particular sort of
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: plot line about the whale beaching itself, and it seems
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: like the community comes together in some way. The first
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: tenet of reviewing is review what it is, not what
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: it's not. But I was looking at going, well, here's
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: how I would have done it, or here's how this
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: could have been better. You have it about Oh this
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: terrible thing. Here's a whale, one of God's wonderful creatures.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: It beats itself. This is really sad phenomenon. Oh you know,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: we're all all the community rallies behind it. Got to
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: get it back in the ocean, all this kind of stuff.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: But then once it's like no one seems to care.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, but it's this is kind of a lost cause.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: And then everyone's like, Okay, well back to our normal lives.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: And Liasa is the one who can't let it go
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: because Lisa is very sensitive. It's like, I think you
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: could do a whole episode around this. I think it
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: would be not a very special episode in quote marks,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: but it would be like one that has more heart
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: than laughs. And it's an opportunity for again for Lisa
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: and Homer to kind of bond because you know, he
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: doesn't always get it right, but he recognizes how important
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: this is to her and how much how deeply it's
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: affecting her, and he wants to help in any way
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: he can, but his time, so he fucks up. They
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: sort of do that, but they don't really do it
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: all that well if you ask me, because we've reached
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: the stage of the game we're in season twenty one.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Homer's not being sort of a well meaning clot He's
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: just being a fucking dummy. Yeah, and that same with
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: a Bart character as well, well yeah, yeah, and yeah,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: and Bart's being just not a brat but a capital
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Letter's brats and kind of yeah, a little psycho and
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: all this kind of stuff. And I think, as I'm saying,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: I think I like this more because we will in
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: midst like season nine or ten or whatever. When we
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: were reviewing this one originally, I think because I'm seeing
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Bart so often lately and homos so often lately being
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: this dummy, and Bart feeling like he's pointless, and see
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: me in here, I'm like this shit again, where it
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: wouldn't have felt as wrong when I only saw it
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: just once. It's like, oh, I'm not being beaten over
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: the head with it. Yeah, And I mean I think
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: there's the potential in there for a harsh but valuable
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: lesson in that this was tragic, but life kind of
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: has to go on, you know, and some people just
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: can't let it go and that really sort of lingers
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: with them in this case with Lisa, and what do
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: they call it blueller the way, Well, yeah, I was
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: annoyed that no one really besides Homer like comforted Lisa
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: in the loss of the whale, like bar should have gone, ah, yeah,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I made fun of Lisa. I probably should say sorry.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: And I know there's not really much humor in there,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: but you can find humans in it, oh absolutely, But
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: it just felt like there wasn't they expected us to
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: feel this emotional connection to this whale. Now this I
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: actually really liked when she died and you can't hear
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Lisa cross, She's just you can see that she's sobbing,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: and it's the pan wide shot, right, But then it
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: just cuts them just we're gonna blow her up and
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: we're gonna turn her into corsets. And it's like, okay,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: but this all right? Now apparently the blowing up the
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: whale is based on a real incident. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: but I don't know. It's terrible being sort of a
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Monday morning quarterback here. It's like, but there must have
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: been better ways to fold all this into into the story.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just going from that principle of like, yes,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: here's a tragedy that affects the whole community, but one
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: person feels it deeper than everybody else. And yeah, and
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: it gives father and daughter an opportunity to sort of bond.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: It just feels like you kind of fumble. You're so close,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: but you find kind of fumbling in a lot of way.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: They're trying to go for that real emotional endyway. She's like,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: thanks for not letting me give up, Dad, And I
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: was like, yeah, this really wasn't earned, no, b Yeah,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: you've got a wave just conventos up. I've got a
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: boat that I've borrowed from the boat shop. Hey, let's
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: go stop these sharks. Oh shit, I've fallen in the water.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Now hey fuck those hippies. I don't know, but just
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: the whole. So it cust to Lisa and she's and
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: she is sitting in what would have been where the
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: whale was sitting right, just the whole there in the end,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: I'm like, where's the whale gun? They didn't blow the
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: whole corpse up. They blow a chunk of it off well,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: so they were able to move the corps where but
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: they couldn't move it away when it was alive. Yeah,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: maybe you've got to break it down into Pattie Wheat
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: and elvint one pace of a time maybe, But yeah,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on the design of the whale?
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: It didn't look like a Simpsons character. It looked No,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: it looks pretty sort of not photorealistic, but different animation,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: didn't it. The Simpsons characters look like Simpsons characters. They
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: don't necessarily look like people. Yeah, whereas this whale was like,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: go like a whale. I just think the whole opening
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: act it should have been an episode in itself. Right,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: talking about very alternative energy, I think they referred to
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: it right. I mean, this is kind of the episode
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: where you get al Gore in or something to provide
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: the message. Yeah, but you know, generally is like we're
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: trying Sola, We're trying wind. You know, mister Burns is
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: trying to sabotage everyone. He makes a little cameo appearance
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: at the but I want to touch on that, and
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: that annoyed me. It annoyed me. But that story, so
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: the whole point it was it gets that. It was
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: to get to the fact that there's a storm and
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: a whale is beach as a result. Right, you didn't
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: need any of anything that came beforehand. It was just
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: wasn't not just Bart saying hey God, oh Homer, I'll
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: make a deal with your order one of the kids.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: I think it was Bart because he's on top of
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: the windmills, I make a deal with you or whatever,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: and God creates a storm and I'm like, wait, what non,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Why did we have to go through all this to
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: get to that? I think the episode should have started
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: with them like, you know, a packed beach. It's a
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: summer day and everyone's like having a great time, and
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: then something happens is like, oh, irony massive storm. Now
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: ruined there somebody. Everyone run runs away and they come
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: back the next day. Oh, it's nice mother again. Let's
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: go back to the beach and there's a whale there.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: That's it. Yeah, And you have some people are like,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: oh my god, this is terrible and something, Ah, you're
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: ruined my good beach day or something like that. Yeah,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: and I have people saying and then listening, No, this
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: is not the whale's fault. It's the storm's fault. We
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: had to help this scene. They're like oh. And then
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: that's when the towns people work together and they realize
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: or we can't. We're trying, we're trying, we're trying. And
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: then he has like Professor Frank or someone who's intelligent, go,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: you do realize that the chances of this things are
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: very grim. And everyone's like, oh well, boys, let's go
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: back to mos and a list you can't give up.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: And Homer's like torns, like come on home. It's kind
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: of mos. He's like sees Lisa and he's like, I'm
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: gonna stay with my little girl. There's your story. It's
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: all there. It's all there. But the mister Burns sing,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: why annoy me? Right? Why'd annoy it? So if this
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: was season we can't compare it. It's not season five,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: seasons six, Simpsons season twenty one. But why would Burns
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: be at this convention? The mister Burns that we grew
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: up with be at this convention doing a silent, peaceful
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: protest by himself. There's being a lot of protest being
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: and kind of ineffectual, making no difference for the sake
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: of a sign. Gag, Right, It just this screams to
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: me like a writer's room, knowing no one in the
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: room either saying, haven't thet gus to say? But why
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: would Burns be there? Or maybe it's just the case
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: of who cares? Who cares? Because mister Burns, the character
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: who know on love would be either you know, trying
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: to using his power and he's money to shut this
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: thing down the whole not sitting there walking buses with
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: the little sign. It's like, that's not mister Burns. Yeah,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: that's not what mister Burns would do. Yeah, if you're
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: gonna have whipping Smither's holding it or something, that's what
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: I was, or have him like on a big screen
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: or something. You know, he's like a board all the
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: airtime to say keep poisoning the earth, make me money
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: something like that, but just walk him. I was like,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: just the sign sign, No, it should have been the
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: sign herself was funny, but mister Burns doing this stupid Yeah,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: it should have been Smither's yeah. And the other thing
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: that kind of was it was the writer. It's almost
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: acknowledging that they've ruined this character. Season twenty one, the
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Ned Flannder's character is ruined, ruined in my opinion. Howso
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: well they have him pull out the power the fans
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: right from the Simpsons. They say your fan pair club
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: has been shut down, and I was like, you can't
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: do that, and then he's like, you used to be nicer.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, he did used to be nice. And
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: that was the whole point of the car Do you
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: felt sympathetic towards because you were a jerk? And Flanders
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: always would give in and go okay. He used to
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: come out and say, how would he really to use
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: all those fans, shut up flanners, whatever, and that was
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: the joke. Now Flanders sticks up for himself and it's
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: like it's not funny anymore. It's kind of like when
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: a fat comedian loses all their weight. You're not funny anymore.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: You were funny because you were fat, you know, like
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: you were funny because you were a simpy. You're funny.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: You were funny because you were not pathetic, but you
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: were just so nice to people. And I get their
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: characters need to evolve, but they don't actually evolve, many
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: of the characters and the simps, because they are stereotypes
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: and they are there for a specific reason. Well that's
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: the thing. I mean, we all enjoyed when Smithers, you know,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: when Smithers failed, you know, and he oh no, when
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: they when they built him his house and it was
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: ship that was Hurricane Eddy. Yeah, Smither's flanners, yeah yeah,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: and he has the tirade. Yeah, sorry, didn't say Smithers.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, and he goes right, I can't
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Levin got in tangents. But yeah, why is the episodes
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: so great because it runs counter to h to what
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Flanders used to be yet or he normally was. Yeah,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: you make you a really good point about these characters.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: You're betraying what they used to be, what they brought
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: to the table, they brought to the show. I put
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: the death of the Flanders character. You can pinpoint the
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: second when it happens was the death of mord Flanders. Okay,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: it was good for a I'm sure publicity stunt. It
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: was their way of getting back at Maggie Roswell because
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: she didn't she wanted to pay increase, or she wanted
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: to be able to voice from home, or there was
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: some specific reason a contract dispute, and they're like, well,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: she's not coming back, let's kill off one of her characters.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: We'll get we'll get, we'll get a rating out of it, right,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: And it made for an interesting story for the Flanders
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: character at that time. You know, oh, he's going to
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: be single now, blah blah blah. But it feels like
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: going forward, they just didn't know what to do with
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: the Flanners character anymo, because he couldn't go back to
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: being the Flanners he was anymore because he's had such
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: a such a terrible incident in his life and it
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: quick questioned his faith and all this other, all these
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: other things. It was a fun episode to dove into
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: who he is his faith in the way he questioned
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: it in that episode, But going forward, he's not. He
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: sticks up for himself now, and that's good. Right, it's
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: good he sticks up for himself. But from a comedy perspective,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: it kind of sucks. How is any of this funny? Well,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: this is the accentainly wasn't the fan club blame was?
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: But so when Homer says, used to be nice, and
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: I was like, that was the point of the character,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: and you've stripped that away? Yeah, I didn't see when
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: that line was uttered. I'm like, this is all you're
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: coming up with. That's not it's just you acknowledging as
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: a writer. I am this character used to be better,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: used to be better. The Flanners character is done. There's
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: no point to him. Now what is the point of
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: the Flanders character? Now we'll keep we'll keep an eye
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: open and see what happens in future episodes. But yeah,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: based on this episode, it's like, I can't recall the
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: last one had a good Flander story, nor do I.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: And it takes me back to when we spoke to
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Harry Shier and he says, I realized Simpsons wasn't the
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Simpsons anymore. I can't remember what it was specifically, but
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: it was a Flanders line and he goes, I said,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: they gained me the script and I'm reading the script,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: and Harry said. I said to him, Flanners wouldn't say this,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: and they said, it doesn't matter, it's just just read it,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: and he goes. I realized they were no longer writing
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: jokes for the characters. They were writing jokes and just
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: assigning into a character. Even that's when I was like,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: this isn't the Simpsons anymore. Sucks to hear that, but
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: it's true though, when you've gone through, when you go
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: through chronological order and you start seeing the deterioration of
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: these characters. Harry was he not to right in the head.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: These jokes don't aren't written for specific characters anymore. It's
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: just let's just write jokes and go, oh, you haven't
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: had Flanders for a while, throwing him in there doing it.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: There's not a bit in here that annoyed me as well.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. Okay, So they're having a debate, we
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: need to find the town's smartest men, right, and they're
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: doing the tug of war with their heads, and Lisa says,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: I'm not really sure any of these people down there
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: can be considered smart. My doctor Hibbitt's there, Who is there?
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Principal Skinner is there? What are we doing these ones?
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: These were ones the boss, the most intelligent people in Springfield,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: and they're they're fucking They're demoted the point of their
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: having tuger war with the likes of Lenny and Carl
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: and Homer with their heads. We're sacrificing, you know, character
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: integrity for the sake of a shitty one side gag,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: side gag and Lisa's I don't think what do you?
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Lisa is no longer thinks are poop smart? And the
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: only thinks doctor doctor Hibbert is not? So he's doctor Nick?
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Now is he? Just? Why couldn't Why could that not
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: have been doctor Nick? Well? Why not say? This doesn't
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: strike me as very smart as opposed to Yeah, yeah,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: the situations at the end of your d could be
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: sid as smart. It's like Poo's probably the smartest guy
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: on Springfield. You would think so, right, A lot wrong
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: with this episode. It's just little things that shouldn't mean
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: so much. But as a lifelong Simpsons van, you watch
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: this and you go, why have all in this rega? Yeah,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: because this episode could have been could have been so
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: much more heart When you're critiquing it, get there's a
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: difference between just watching something and being entertained and critiquing it.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: And if you want to critique this man, there was
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: a lot to have about it. I just have to
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: get off my chest. I was just annoyed by it.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: I'm glad you did. You did my favorite. Do you
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: have any favorite moments in the episode. I would probably
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: watch Tic Tac toe X the O Okay, yeah, I
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: would probably pay money for it. No, All my time
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: is Mexican prison movie idea has some good points. It
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: feels it feels like a nineteen ninety seven action for
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: cool and flu. You'd have them what's the dude, Danny? Yeah,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: in there, get the villaing of throw a few bucks
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: down his way. He'd be just at it, just about anything.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: I like how I get a bit of you'd appreciate
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: this at least watching House. Yes, yes, I have now
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: the house formula. Did you see the tweet? Yeah, Hugh,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Laura is getting getting a bit stucky. He admittedly had
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: a couple of lies. Yeah when he wrote that, but
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: it was just we tried getting it right the first time.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: In the MBN said we didn't like it. As it
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: was finishing sixth minutes and I'm like, I get that,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: but like more people need to understand. What I quickly
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: gathered was this show is not a bin show. It's
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: a you watch it once a week, you carry on
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: with your life, you come back to it, your you
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: like this formula. But watching his formula back to back
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: to back becomes my numbing Oh god. Yeah, I've said
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: this more than months in this podcast that my relationship
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: is a very MUCHO sentence. My relationship to Gilmore girls
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: change forever. When I watched a whole bunch of episodes
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: back to back, it's like, oh my goodness. Oh it
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: sucks when you can see the formula like you see
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: also but boom, Yeah it's our rhythm and pacing is
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: this way, this way, this way, or you know. I
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: had a weekend was like, you know, it's good those
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Borne moves, Jason Bourne. I'm gonna watch the like, oh
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: these are all the same movie. Yeah, it's just fine. Yeah,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: they go back to back to back. You're like, ah, yeah,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: it's like I'm born out. Yeah a little bit. Yeah,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: damn shame. I Nicol and I now have a game.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: We watched Lauren Order and we're watching like there it's
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: called Laura Order twenty one. I don't real had a
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: ten year holiday. You know this? This so Lauren Order. Right.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: The original Law and Order started in nineteen ninety, but
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: then it was like they started doing the whole Digwolf universe,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: so it was like Laura SVU. We watched it and
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: I was like, previously on Laura Order. I'm like, what
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: what do you mean. It's like you have to watch
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: this Law and Order specific episode to know it was going.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: You're talking about the more recent ones like laur and
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Order Organized Crime. I no, no, no, no, So they do
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: do that with organized crime, but this one specifically was
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: a Lauren Order episode, right, Yeah, And what happened was
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: in like twenty eleven, Law and Order stopped the original
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: show and it returned in twenty twenty one as Law
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: and Order twenty one. Wow, it's so bizarre. That's because yeah,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: the original stop, but SBU kept going. Yeah, so season
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: twenty stopped in like twenty ten or whatever. So then
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: when it was twenty twenty one, they called it Laura
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Order twenty one, but it was actually season twenty one. Wow.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: It was so but we're watching it there. We have
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: a game that we watch it and in the first
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: five or six minutes, we'll watch it and it's the
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: first one you can go it was that guy because
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: you can always tell they sort of they introduced into
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: the episode. They have like a little throwaway line. You're like,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: I'm going to see you later. It's going to be
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: you somehow, and it's the same formula week to week,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: and it's just like, ah, you know what. That strikes
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: me as especially heinous. Nobody can watch SPU without saying that, Yeah,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: but you watch Law in Order though, And because we
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: watched so much SPU, the Law and Order opening bit
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: is different and it just frozer, where's the heinous we need?
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: We need to the gag I liked, Yes, at least
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: watching house was my second bit. I also liked the
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: mentioning the at the expo and he says that you
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: get tax curdit for this and you haven't paid off
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: in like twelve to eighteen weeks. Halftimes, we have the
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: solar panels on the roof and they're almost paid off.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: It took us like I think six or seven years.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: And now it's like if you get a battery, you
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: don't just send it back to them. You saw the
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: power here and you just use that. I'm like, let's
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: do it. Oh absolutely, yea, and actually where he's out
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: better for us now we're actually saving money. Yeah. Oh yeah, No,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: soul is great. Yeah. We if we if we do
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: stuff between eleven AM and three pm, it's basically free.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: So we do the washing, we do the dishes, we
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: do anything that's between eleven and dish washer I mean,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: is between eleven and three it's free. I do the dishes,
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: and you know it's free because I don't use the
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: dish washing and you don't get paid in calmer points
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: maybe anything you enjoy. I like the Boston Legal shout
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: out sort of the whole I like, yes, that wasn't legal. Yes,
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: I never watch Boston Legal good stuff. Yeah. We started
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: watching it and then it got taken off the streaming

  Speaker 1: doing this again. It's so Yeah, a lot of weird
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: stuff in this character wise, and also just little bits
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: and people. Yeah, but this whole thing and it must
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: have met. It did have one good side gag where
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: the projectors how long has there been on? Yeah? I
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: was just like, what's the point of that? But yeah, fine,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: I thought that was kind of yeah, yeah, it's ridiculous.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: But they just feels like that should be the Margine.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: We're wasting home. I should be watching it with them.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: We're wasting power. We don't need power, Marge. Yeah, correct,
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: it's electricity. It's always there, Like he should be done
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: like the kids, you know, what do you mean to
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: pay for the power? It should be you wake at
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: a power plant. Yes, we initially we just did an
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: episode of Speaking the Hill where Bobby has no idea
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: of the value of money. Homer should be like that.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: It's like drizzly there, you got to pay your power bill.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: But you know, one of those magical animals kind of
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: correct correct correct, correct. But then they decide, well, oh
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: well no, Lisa points out, oh, there's an energy XPO
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: one or something like it. But changed changes to your
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: lifestyle can be difficult. Yea, indeed, but like okay, well
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: let's go do this thing which is apparently on at night,
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: and let's get in the car and leave. Yeah. Again,
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: opportunity for another opportunity for a side gag, which I
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: think is we better make sure that everyone knows we're home,
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: turn on the Christmas lights. But there's a little bit
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: where they're all getting in the car and you just
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: hear mar saying, come on, get in the car. Got
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: to this this? Why put a line there or just
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: cut this out? Yeah? Why is she just sort of
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: saying stuff to fill dead air? And if she is
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: saying stuff to fill there there, make it a joke.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: Or you haven't run to the car and have Bart
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: say why the Christmas lights stup? It's July and say
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: oh something stupid exactly right, But then it cuts the
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: snake saying, Oh, I can't wait to poop on their carpet.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: I'm like, who wrote that? What are we even doing?
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: As we like to say these days, what are we
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: even doing? What do you mean to put their carpet? Yeah,
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: I don't think even kids would find that funny. It's
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: what what do you mean? What? What since? What a
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: sneak pool called carpets? Why is he again? This joke
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: is not a snake line. No, I'm gonna lost. Let's
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: move on, Let's get to the XPO. Is there with
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: his one sign having a silent protest. Even once we
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: get to the expole, it's kind of like, what's the
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: point of some of these gags? The whole Burnt Power
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: thing I thought was just lame, the bist fight between
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: the two guys, Wigham's kid power. I'm sorry, we have
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: to go back to Guy's favorite episode of all time,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: Last Temptation of Homer. I was gonna be that exact thing.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: So this thing really works out? Sure it does. Good
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: luck the tire use us and no one gets hurt. Sorry,
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: that's fucking hilarious. But also, you know Homer and Mindy,
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: you know, pushing nuclear and everyone's walking bar just having
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: goes out him gead bad no got out what Homer
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: throws knocks it out, and then he just got this
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: big smote good about himself. There, let's talk about last
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: intention of Homer. I suppose this shit. I see that
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: that was a means to an end. So this happens
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: for no real I know, it sets up them getting
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: the wind milk. But the storm doesn't happen because they've
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: got a wind milk. That's the problem. So this it's not,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: it's not, this happens, and therefore this happens like tray
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Matt will do. It's this happens, and then this happens,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: and then there's a storm and then the wagons like
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: so what was the point of anything that came before it? Right?
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: Just remember, folks, therefore and but there are two words.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: You want the storage and in the latentation of Homer,
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: they are at the expo. The whole point of that
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: is because now Homer is away with Mindy. Correct, that
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: was the reason for them to be alone. There's a
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: reason for the expo. Correct. Correct. But he's the guy
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: says solar panel. It's a bright idea. Yes, still was
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: getting a real job and I'm like, man, I've fallen
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: a long way. We've fallen a long way from lastentation
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: of Homer. Lisa has then found what he's looking for.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Sure that I can eat in the shower. Have you
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: ever eaten in the shower? I don't think I've ever
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: eaten in the shower. No, I have drunk beers in
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: the shower. It's fucking amazing. Oh yeah, oh god, there's
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: nothing better cold be a hot shower, yeah, warm shower,
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: cold beer, a hot day, yeah yeah yeah. But they're
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: not eating in the shower. What would be the best
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: thing to eat if you have to eat in the shower?
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: So I said to you your ideal shower meal? What
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: is it? What's the medal you need? Maybe a chocolate
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: bar because like can of chips, I'll go soggy. An
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: apple ship they can get possibly, yeah, okay, maybe an apple,
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: but that would preclude me. I'm thinking, I'm thinking, I'm
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: being practical. I know, yeah, I appreciate that. I can't
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: think of anything. No, you don't. Nothing tastes better when
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: it's been food wise, when it's been wet. But then
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: the guy brings up he's trying to sell solid panel
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: to Homer, get tax credits. You write itself off from
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: twelve to eighteen lifetimes and you won't regret it. I'm
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: starting to already too bad. Lass has already got the
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: twine out. Then Homer says, I got it pretty good.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: I want my ward for audiobook narration whatever whatever we
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: mentioned our guys, that's all couples and strays. Yeah, were
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: we just stupider twenty years ago? Like it just feels like,
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: you know, we just did South Park where they mocked
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: out Gore, and I feel the Simpsons never really mocked
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: out uninformed perhaps uninformed. Yeah, it was just easy. It
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: feels like we're more stupid now, it does. Yes, But
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: then we see this, So they've set up the whatever
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: it is need to be set out the soul panels
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: and whatnot, and Marge points out the energy meter is
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: going backwards something things, he's going back in time, the
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: wind turbine. But it turns out they're just providing power
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: to the electricity company. So he calls them and rants
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: at them. Lenny's working out apparently, Why Leny's working there?
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: He wasn't a power plant again? Why is Lenny there?
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: Why are these write a line assign it to a character. Yeah,
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: just to have wise guy there. Wise, guys going, the
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: guy who's meant to be working everywhere. Why the fuck
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: is Lenny working there? Give us a reason? Why a
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: job about the power plant? You see him later associated
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: with the power plant? Why is he? What? What? I
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: don't like? Man, God, it's just stupid, stupid. So he
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: councels the account. The Simpsons are off the grid. So
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: far it's going great, and it's time for the big
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: game and the color over there to watch the game.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: And then there's no windowside, so the windmill stops and
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: the parent the TV powers down? Who turned off the wind?
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: Dad?
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: If we're really off the grid, then we won't get
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: power when the air is still well.
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: I'm not crawling back to big electricity from now on.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: The symptoms are living intermittently.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: I've written it. I'm wondering if this is how sustainable
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: energy actually really works, because this feels like a really
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: bad faith argument. It should be storing energy, as you
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: know how you're here. Sometimes people, it's the really dumb
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: argument against solar or wind that's sunder and shown all
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: the time. Sometimes it's not winding storing. I'm pretty sure
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: that you know when it's working. Its story energy. It's
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: not just it's not like an actual windmill, because that
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: winmill was going right. It didn't stop when the TV
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: was off. It was generating power when the TV was off.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: For you, when you want to turn the TV on,
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: you start eating into the power that you've stored. Correct,
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: just doesn't make sense. It always was like this was
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: done by some anti green energy kind of it. I
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: suspect the big energy is behind this again, who cares?
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: That's that's the man who cares. So the jumping case
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: goes up and down, we have them playing the z
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: they fight over it. Then the garage doors going up
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: and down. Marge can't do a makeuprop because the light's
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: going off. I'm a falling asleep with the buzz saw, like, yeah,
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: what was even doing? Why was even working on something
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: like these? I will buy into these when he's there
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: for a reason, how much just randomly there wouldn't be
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: funny if a bus or cuts into his head. Yeah,
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: and I'm sorry that. Yeah that really seeing him seeing
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: it cut into his head, that was wrong. I just
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: have it stopped just short or something, I mean, but
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: having it actually cut into his head. Yeah, and laterally, look,
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: this is really nitpicky, but having it actually cut into
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: his head you don't see anything. I mean to be
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: gross if he did. But later on, you know, you've
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: got gets hit in the head by a can, gets
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: blood coming out. Yeah, which gin's up the shark? Yeah,
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I shouldn't be too upset
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: about this, but why no blood in this one? Blood
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: in that one? I just don't have the problem is
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: showing the sword going into his head, right, It's like
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: there was no one ever to save him, so this
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: thing would have just killed him. Stupid. Yeah, it's stupid.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: It doesn't make sense. It's agree that it cuts into
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: it even if it stopped again, it's like it's in
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: his head, that's in his brain. Yes, and it has
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: a transition to the lumpy smoothie and home is my
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: brain stopped working? And it stops working mid sentence you're like, yeah,
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: that was your payoff for all? Is that the result
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: of that? Or is that just home and being I
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: don't know, let's move on home and then powers the
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: windmill with actual fans is using plug into Flanders side
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: and this week, at the Flanners moment, that I was
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: ranted about earlier, and he says, the meeting of the
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: fan club has been adjourned. We haven't had our monthly
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: meeting or whatever, and then Yeah, pulls them all out.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: Used to be a lot nicer and that's the end
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: of Flanders. And I was like, man, you guys just
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: don't like you just don't know what to do with
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: the characters anymore. You just don't. I think also to
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: it feels like it doesn't really feel there's a writer's
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: room at the Simpsons at this point. I feel like
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: every episode sort of written by different people, but it
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: doesn't feel like there's a writer's room like it feels
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: like in the mid nineties that was there was a
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: writer's room. Yes, and they all worked and they bounce
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: ideas of each other and they said, no, we can't
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: do that because of this, and they all work together.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: This just feels like a bunch of people assigned to
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: do Simpsons episodes. You do you you It's like you
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: know the new Star Wars movies, JJ, you do that one, Ryan,
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: you do that one, and we'll just you know, we'll
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: see how they go together. That went w that worked out? Uh,
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: then we have but spinning it himself. He's up on
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: the top of trying to make the windmill move. Un least,
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: he's trying to hear doctor House's third incorrect diagnosis before
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: the correct one. Then he makes a deal with God.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: I know how the deal was. But God causes a
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: storm and lots of power and it destroys the town
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: as a result, and then bartless to go to investigate
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: the town. There's a wind chime store, which I thought
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: was quite funny. Then the world's largest dandylion, and then
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: they go to the beach and there's washed up goggles
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: and medical waste on the beach. But then they find
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: the whale, and Lisa can't be believing something so mighty
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: can be read. It's so powerless. And then but okay,
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: my birthday on here falls into the blowhole, gets blown
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: back out, and Lisa says, I'll call you Blowala the whale,
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: and bart says, oh you met the world be his
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: armpit funt and it goes down and blows him a
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: way apparently, and he's like, you just made a powerful enemy.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: What is happening? I don't know, but something I wrote
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: here good like getting laughs out of a beached whale.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: It is. It is really one of the saddest spectacles because,
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: oh mate, it's true. Something so mighty is so powerless. Absolutely, yeah, yeah.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: I watched the trailer and up for a movie called
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: Whale Fall. Have you heard about this? Whale Fall? Yes?
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: Have you seen this? Have you heard about this? It's
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: actually pretty some whaleful. It's a pretty wild concept, which
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: is apparently not I don't know if it's based on
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: true story, but I think the guy who wrote it
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: did his research is the guy scuba diving. There's big whale.
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: The whale is like trying to eat an octopal or something,
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: and the dude gets tangled up in the octopus, so
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: he ends up inside the whale. The whale is so
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: big that you know he's not the CGI are real. Well,
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: it's a it's a live action movie. It's a live
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: actually I imagine a lot of c G Yeah, yeah,
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: I mean it's like animated. Yeah, but he's got like
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: an hour to figure out how do I get out
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: of this way before my oxygen runs out. I'm like,
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: it's pretty neat concepts. An escape room pretty much exact.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: The room is a whale. I can't believe they haven't
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: just made like an escape room franchise already? Well, they's
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: made they made two of them, they escape room movies. Yeah,
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: it's a movie called Escape Room, and there's another one
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: called Escape Room two something, Escape Room the sequel, Yeah,
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: escape again. Yeah. I think they're like PG thirteen horror movies.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: I have not seen them. Okay, I still want to do.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: I feel like I'd love to make an escape room,
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: like just make one. Buy a shitty property, do it
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: up a little bit, and it just hosts are Jigsaw?
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: Are you confessing to me that your Jigsaw? Right a
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: little bit? Okay, I think cool a little bit. I'm
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a serial you'd like to pleat
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: agree interesting to be a lot of fun, but then
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: murdering people? Yeah? Sure, so creating my note He says,
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: so is Bart now Millhouse and that he's just stupid
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: to get him into super situations or is he just
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: a mini Homer? Either way, I can't see how kids
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: will relate to this version of Butt, or maybe they
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: think he's funny because it just shit keeps happening to him.
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: Like what is the point of this version of Bart?
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: I have no idea. No, I just found he's an idiot. Yeah,
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: he's just irritating. He's just irritating. He's an idiot, he's
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: mean spirited, he's an idiot, he's just he's literally Minnie Homer.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: Lisa then begs the bullies to help her with the
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: whale and whereas the well when my mum moved out?
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: And then she says they're sensitive intelligent and they call
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: it a nerd at least and then cust to them
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: at least helping. But this is where I thought, Okay,
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: the towns people are going to start getting involved here
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: and start trying to help out. Then Kenney asks Millhouse
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: if you want to learn more about whaling any whales
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: on amails on him. He says, don't woman, knock it
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: off because I was too afraid to answer. Never tell
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: a bully you're afraid, So he hits him again. Then
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: Marge's annoyed that her wedding china has ruined, and Hammer says,
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: we able to eat our Thanksgiving dinner off regular place
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: like animals. Lisa for their help. Homer gets the tool
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: bells out doesn't fit him anymore. Go nowhere? What is
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: made for French supermodels goes nowhere that's not even a
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: funny line. Marge then asked to talk to Homer for
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: a minute without Lisa, and he tells Lisa to bring
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: the car around. Haven't you learned from watching mart Drive?
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: Then Marge says the whales likely will die soon. It
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: just feels like, why would Margin know this? This feels
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: like something that like, you know, it should be Professor
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: Frink or doctor Hibbittt or so who's smart or you know,
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: Marge not smart, but guests playing a marine biologist get
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: Richard Drapers in to play Hooper from Jaws. That would
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: be cool, that would be very cool. But just it
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: just feels like Margin. Of all the people, Marge's the
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: one that sot all have. Marge say, I watched this
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: on TV one time, you and I think she actually
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: says it usually doesn't end Well yeah, yeah, I mean
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: what I think my theory is if Marge though knows this,
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: then I feel like Lisa would know it. Mm hmm.
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: Well that's when you use your writer's ingenuity to sort
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: of say, look, Lisa is smart, but Lisa is also
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: a child, and she has a child's emotional register, you know,
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: and she's gonna like, oh, this whale is beautiful. We
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: must we must be able to save it. You know,
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: she can't quite wrap her emotional gears around that. Yeah,
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: we can't let Lisa get her hopes.
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: Up your heart?
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: Can it be?
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: We're just rolling it into the ocean from the beach.
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: It's not like it's stuck in the bottom of a
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: well or in a Mexican prison. But there would make
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: a great movie, cool hand fluke.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: Lisa is very sensitive if something she loves dies.
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: In front of her.
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: That well, it's not gonna die. We're busting them out
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: of prison, no matter what you say, Eskabar, God distinct
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: rights itself coming.
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: Then the town's strongest men are trying to roll it
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: into the water. It doesn't work. We've got a better
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: idea of find the town's smartest man. And that's where
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: wouldn't about earlier hard to believe anyone in that contest
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: could be considered smart. And I'm like, no, No, they're
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: smart people there, but they're doing dumb stuff. And it's
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: not a fold of the characters. It's the fault of
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: the people creating the characters. Yep. Then they try pulling
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: it with the boats, but they all break and sink
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: and Margin asked Lisa to come home for tea, but
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: she's not ready yet. She wants to read some poetry
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: at night to Bluella, and it's Leaves of Grass by
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: Walt Whitman. Then Lisa, we think, wakes up to Operation
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: Desert Ocean, dragging blueler back out into the ocean or
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: carrying it and dropping her out there. She jumps for joy.
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: Lisa is happy. Then she jumps into the stars. You're like, oh,
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: and things are getting a little fanciful. And then Lisa
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: wakes up and turns out she's dead. I thought that
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: moment there was handled really well. Yes, but it's just
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: a shame that everything around it. It's just like there
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: wasn't enough time for us to emotionally invest in Bluella.
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: We need to find Bluella. In the first I reckon
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: three minutes of the episode and have a good portion
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: of the first act. Lisa's relationship with this whale. Yeah,
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: or do you know I have this Simpsons are going
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: to the sea side or something like that. Oh wow, whales,
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: we never see those in this part of the world.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: Lisa openems about how beautiful they are, et cetera, cetera. Cetera.
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: The kids at school all saying, my new hero is
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: Blueller the Whale, And then like people are wearing like
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: Blueller shirts and things like that, and they're, hey, bring
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: us bring a sea captain in there. Maybe you can
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: have this bit of a dark sort of b plot.
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: But they're trying to monetize Blueller rather than help at her.
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: Than monetizing her, come see Blueller the Whale and have
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: Quimby cashing in, have everyone cashing Everyone's wearing a Blueller
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: shirt and yeah, just something you invest have us invest
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: in this, in this whale, you know. But instead it's
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: just she's in there for maybe two or three scenes,
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: and I feel like they need to build up to
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: make this feel even more emotional. I feel as a
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: viewer we need to believe, oh, she probably will make
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: it and then the reality of no, they don't usually
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: make it. Like, have us the viewer be like Lisa
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: and go, oh she is going to make it. Oh
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: fuck she died? Oh shit, it would hit harder. Then
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: homer Is says, she don't worry Lisa, She's lying on
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: God's beach. Oh God, I hate this bit as well.
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: Lisa says, you're wrong, You know she doesn't like laying
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: a beach. She wants to be in the water. Homer
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: says that, you know, I'm just it's hard to learn.
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: I'm not perfect. It hard to learn your father's not perfect.
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: But says something on the lines of you you got
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: that right, dad, and he says, I'm trying to be
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: a sensitive father. You unwanted it more on. There's it's
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: between cruel, which that line is, and it's off put
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: humorously exasperated. It's off putting. Yeah, oh yeah, very much.
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: So you unwanted more on uncalled for. Lisa asks to
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: be alone. Homer leaves and he walks out and says
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: to the cat, it kills me to see her like that.
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: And there's one thing I can't stand. It's being killed
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: because Home is an idiot. But Milhouse then go to
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: poke the cops with a stick, and the police are
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: there and they blow up or a bit of a
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: She sort of like rolls to the side like you
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: don't actually see a chunk of her, and all a sudden,
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: chunks just start falling from everywhere, and I was like,
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: what landing on people and whatnot? And they utilize her
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: corpse that make perfect out of it blowhole Republic makes
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: whalebone corsets, which gets the William shatnegay, which I thought
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: it was quite funny. And Homo has got Lisa a
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: pet that can't die and a visible dog leash, and
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: he said, I know the dog's doing business on the rug.
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: Then Lisa thinks she hears blueler because she's walking around town,
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: but it's Moe cleaning. He's fixing his door. Just every
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: sound she hears is, yeah, reminds me of Martin getting
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: his wedgie, the mine with the blue all like this.
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: So the mind makes the balloon of the whale and
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: it blows up. I thought that's a nice little And
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: then he makes the violin play a sad song for it,
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: and she hears the sound again and turns out it
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: is Blueeller's children. A quick assumption by Lisa. Yeah, maybe
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: these world are unrelated. Yes, And then she sees them
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: just convening for the story all of a sudden. That's
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: when the shark starts surrounding them as Lisa arrives. Then
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: she concedes after commercial its Nature's way and Homos's mother
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: nature is a toothless hag, and he's got a boat
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: he's rending it from not ready, he's just borrowing it,
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: testing it out from the boat store. He tries to
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: harpoon the sharks. But yeah, see, now this is an
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: opportunity for Homer actually sort of step up do the
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: right thing, as I mean, you have him say no,
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: I'm here to help, as opposed to oh, it's just
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: a coincidents. I'm here, I'm testing this boat, you know,
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: step up with your order. Yeah, just he should be
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: there because he wants to be there. She leaves, maybe
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: he says something that upsets her, and she I've never
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: seen this before, but she runs out of home crying,
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: and Lisa's walking around sad, and it's saying, Lisa, I
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: didn't mean it, Lisa, and then he he also hears
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: bueller and they both run to the beach together and
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: like hey, hey, hey, honey. He's like, it's the way
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: he wears. What can we do. Let's work as a
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: team and try and save them. Ye, watch up on
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: his book, because I knew you were going to be here.
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: And if you need to be if you need home
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: and to be a dumbers then or you know, a
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: sort of semi belligerent jerk moleman is fishing in a
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: little boat. Homer goes, grabs him by the scuff of
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: the neck, throws it out, steals his boat. You could
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: have him say you can use my boat, little girl,
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: and I was like, go the way, oh man, he
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: throws him in the water and steals it. Yeah, but dad,
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: he's gonna give us the boat. Yes, something like that exactly.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: The sea huggers then arrive to protect the sharks. You know,
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: forty million sharks are killed each year for fins. I mean,
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: I believe this sharks should be protected as well.
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: Sure, typical eco jerks using words to chuck.
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: They're right, it's the only way to save the whales
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: used to kill another innocent creature.
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: I can't let you do it, sharks innocent.
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: Please.
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: Every year they kill a couple of people who do
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: a series of stupid things.
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: Not necessarily stupid things, but I think you know, you buy,
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: you buy your ticket, You take the right a lot
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: a lot of the time. You read them though it's
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: like they shouldn't have been swimming there, or it's like
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: known for to be infested with sharks, and you're like anyway,
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: in horrible people get taped by sharks not saying that,
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: but yeah, but they give him the bucket to either
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: make the sharks go away, although eating quicker hits him
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: in the head he bleeds. Then the father whales ran
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: Waldess ran, where's he been? Yeah, by the way, they'd
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: be dead, rocks up and saves the day, saves Homer,
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: and Lisa thanks him for not letting her. Thinks I'm
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: letting her give up, and so I would do anything
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: for a sweet intelligent mammal, which is what I'm by
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: which I'm referring to you, And Homer says He'll be fine. Now,
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: I'll be moving in with a sexy octopus in no time.
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: I have a whale puss on the way, and Marches
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: will draw those pictures of what he just said, which
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: is really just an excuse to have pictures over the
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: closing credits. Which didn't mind the photos of the credits.
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: I like the fiftieth Adiverse. I was like, Oh, that's
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: that's a honorable I found new love and they lasted forever.
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: That's kind of nice. It's like, yeah, Donkey and Dragon, Yeah, yeah,
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: they stuck with that. Like that shit just worked. I
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: liked it. In number two, he was like oh, she
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: was bringing me down. Man, she's emotional and this, that
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: and the other, because basically they for the sake of
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: the story, they couldn't have the dragon in Shrek too,
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: so it wouldn't she wouldn't work in this far, far
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: away land. But then at the end he realized she's
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: pregnant with little me. Donkey's like, oh shit, flying donkeys
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: now it's a real flying donkey. And yeah, but that's
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: the end of the episode to say. Actually, although if
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: you wait around to the end of the great what
• 49:03
