Yellow card. You can't give me a yellow card year my father. When
0:05
I put on these shorts, I'm not your father anymore. Judging by how
0:08
tight they are. I'm never gonna be anyone else that's eater you. This
0:12
is what I think of your yellow card. Unsportsmanlike conduct. That's a red
0:18
card. You're on a game, but ah, another family broken up by
0:24
Ronaldo. Yes, four finger discount, dude, welcome to four finger Discount.
0:46
When this week we're gonna have to talk talk like this because we're doing
0:49
marge gamer. Oh, we're talking like gamers, talking like gamers. Nothing
0:53
too long, let's talk about me. That is correct? Yes, and
0:57
I'll look there. I'm sure there are gamers who actually have lovely dulcin tones
1:00
like you and I. I'm anything but a gamer, but I full respect
1:03
for gamers. I used to sit there. We'll discussing before we started recording
1:07
here that I once had talking about the new names. Land gets mentioned in
1:11
one of the new names, right, and said, you include Land in
1:15
one of those new names, because I I yes, And I remember my
1:19
thirteenth birthday party. A couple of my friends were like, can you have
1:21
a Land party? And I was like I know that means and involved drugs.
1:23
Like no, I was like, okay, sure. So then I
1:26
get to my parents' place, and of course they've got the second living room
1:30
television, the television in my bedroom, the television in my sister's room.
1:34
My sister was played enough to let my friends like smelly stinky boys go into
1:37
her room. He's a TV. And it was just cables going down the
1:40
hall and through the kitchen, under the table and look basically land for those
1:42
that underwear. It was basically like the early form of like online gaming,
1:47
where you could be playing the same game on various televisions in different rooms,
1:51
and it was like mind blowing to me. And I have just full respect
1:53
for all my friends who could play because they were playing this game Halo,
1:56
right when Haley first came out, so it was about two thousand and one,
1:59
and ever since then, I've just it's been so out of touch with
2:00
games. I just I can't game. I'm so bad at the first person
2:02
shooters to the point where it wasn't fun for me anymore. It was almost
2:07
like I could tell sometimes my friends be taking sympathy and like like taking it
2:09
easy. I mean, I'm like, oh no, I feel bad.
2:12
I'm like, I'm that guy. Everyone's like, oh, yeah, you
2:14
know, you can join it. It's okay, we won't shoot you.
2:15
And I'm like, ahh, but yeah, that's that's my my memories of
2:22
lands, which I'm going to say it stands for Local Area Network. Okay,
2:28
I think so, but yeah, we'd better double triple check that because
2:31
we might have some nerds going that's not exactly what it's for. My apologies,
2:36
I'm going to stop calling you nerds because you know they're not nerds at
2:38
all. It's a bill. It's the thing. You're not a lot most
2:39
about this episode, even though ad in like two thousand and seven or whatever,
2:43
so it didn't go overboard with it. Gamers a nerds aspect, right,
2:46
because so many shows tend to do that. We watched, you know,
2:49
crime shows like SVU and Numbers and White Collar. Whenever it's a video
2:53
game based story, like they go it's rpgmgs. I'm like, they don't
2:58
speak like that. They would just say they play a game, not an
3:00
RPG. I'm just like, it really shits me. I'll never forget ice
3:04
Cube in SVU going Gem Buddy, and I was like, was he making
3:08
a guest appearance alongside Iced Tea. I always get ice Cub. Yeah,
3:12
sorry, I pretty racist. It is ready racist because it was this quash
3:15
Anakonda and he's my favorite character in Anaconda, and that's that's a big call.
3:20
Given the John Voyds in it. He I liked. I thought John
3:23
was great in his role, but I enjoyed ice Cube more. Yes,
3:28
but anyway, nothing but Anaconda. But if you if you about gaming and
3:30
how you're yes, you're not good at it. I'm not good at at
3:32
either. I was. I was good at Space Invata's Pac Man up until
3:36
Mortal Kombat. After that. Were you good at Mortal Combat? Though?
3:38
I was okay, I kicked the ship out of it. Could you do
3:42
like Fatalities? Absolutely? I could. How awesome was that when you actually
3:46
pull one off? Though? It was fantastic. And then when we did
3:47
a Fatalities, well that's also great. It was like, please, sir,
3:52
this is a this is a family establishment. But it was Local Area
3:55
Network and I looked that. You are correct. Yeah, we sound so
3:59
old. You're right. LAND does stand for Local Area Net for those who
4:02
aren't aware. In twenty twenty four, so for all those playing Nintendo or
4:08
maybe even PlayStation. Yes, we'd like to think that we know our stuff.
4:13
Yeah, that's why we're certainly not Nubes. What I was saying earlier
4:15
is that I don't feel like they were taking the mickey added gamers in this
4:19
episode. It was more like a love letter, particularly not the tutorial bit.
4:21
It's like, oh, I see he's a rock, you have found
4:24
it. Yes, they were ahead of the curb because, as you were
4:29
about to say, I mean, gaming is a multi billion or dollar industry.
4:33
In all honesty, I was having a bit of a gripe before we
4:36
press record. None of you need to hear that clouds were scattering. Yeah,
4:41
but I was like, entertainment journalism's deared, the movie industry kind of
4:45
sucks now. And the thing of it is, I think gaming has kind
4:48
of taken the baton from traditional you know, scripted entertainment and sort of gone
4:55
with a bit. Now you can be in the movie. Now you can
4:57
be you know, the main character, you can be player one as opposed
5:00
to well that Chris Hemsworth, He's fantastic. I wish I was like him.
5:03
It was like, well, in this game, you are him,
5:05
you can be him. Yeah, I was trying to explain to people how
5:09
you know I can earn a living from podcasting. Still to this day,
5:11
PEO are like really like hell, what do you mean? And so many
5:15
people who used to work with Ford you sort of like laugh at me and
5:18
look down at me. It's just the old funny duddy idea of you don't
5:20
understand it, so it's just it's silly. But now it's like people starting
5:24
to finally realize color global warming. Oh shit, it's real. Oh you
5:28
can't make money from gaming and from podcasting all these kinds of things. Thank
5:30
god, that's happening just as the world is ending. It's like so many
5:33
times my old man or someone will say, what's it? This weather are
5:36
so win weird? So where summer? And I'm like, have you been
5:40
paying attention? They've been telling you for years it's coming. But I can
5:46
also buy into the story that Marge, you know, with her addictive personality,
5:49
is established this in the past. Correct, she would very easily be
5:51
addicted to a game like this because I love the refreshed, refresh, refresh.
5:55
That is just social media to a team, right, you put out
5:57
a tweet, You're like, I've want to see the engagement house so much
6:00
so it's like, yeah, waiting for that little Well, God, I'm
6:02
still using Facebook. Oh someone's lated something that I've said follows on Facebook,
6:08
Facebook or complash walking a discame. Oh someone's made a comment about something I
6:14
wrote. What did they say? You suck? Oh No, it's like,
6:17
you know, send me money something like that. Yeah, oh dear,
6:20
I'm getting so many inboxes this week. And I've seen other people who
6:24
run pages from guest like Guest two seven zero nine to four. It's like,
6:28
Hi, we would like to pay you money to advertise on your page.
6:30
We represent Nike and Nesle and Nestle, spot Wrong and things like that,
6:34
And it's always the same brands, And I'm like, oh, but
6:36
honestly, I reckon. I cantered thirty of them all in a rolia.
6:40
I guess no profile picture, just guessed insert number, same message. I
6:45
don't want to be terribly pessimistic about, you know, modern technology, especially
6:47
after the morning I've had where my engineer kept dropping out and my computer froze,
6:51
were in the middle of our subediting shift. But it was a mac
6:55
from like Macintoche from like nineteen eighty seven. It was a come a doert
6:58
sixty. But you're hearing so much about bank scams and everything like that,
7:03
and I was like, Oh, they're only going to get worse, They're
7:05
only going to get more sophisticated. All this shit. It's like, oh
7:08
no, I've heard my mum nearly gets scammed on the phone once. I
7:11
was like, get off the phone, mum before you give him a more
7:12
information. But I had a phone call yesterday, two miss calls, right,
7:15
and it said from Votaphone. So I caught it up and his Votaphone,
7:19
you'll provide it Votaphones' provider, right, And I called it back and
7:21
it had the initial thanks for calling Votaphone. We'll put you through to our
7:25
sales team right now. And then I did that you know that phone dial
7:29
that you can tell is dialing to someplace in India And I was like,
7:31
this is weird. And it's like, hello somewhere, my name is Sarah,
7:34
PA can to help you. And I was like, I had a
7:36
miss call from this number and he's like, oh, yes, we are
7:41
from Votaphone sales company and we would like to offer you a new a new
7:44
package, I better package on your deal. And I was like, okay,
7:46
Cools, the first thing we need is your four digit PIN. And
7:48
I was like, ask her, fucking mad, Now, I suggest that
7:53
you enjoyed this package. You know what I mean? I said to him,
7:59
you called me, you should know my details and he's like, oh,
8:01
yes, but I need you to confirm your details so we can proceed.
8:03
I'm like, I am happy with my package as well as my Vota
8:07
phone deal. So so like you know, if you want to change it
8:11
and you offer me a deal, you just tell me what you can offer
8:13
me. And he's like, well, I can't proceed util you give me
8:15
your name, your phone number, and your date of birth and you foot
8:16
dig it pit And I was like, yeah, the fuck out of here.
8:20
Yeah, it's standing to raise the stage even where. But like people
8:22
like your mum would fall for that, you know my mom, My mom
8:26
would fall for that. Yeah, well, my mom's been coming increasingly.
8:28
I was about to say, savvy also just grumpy? Is she maybe much
8:31
like mister Burns's mum? What when if she's not recognizing numbers, it's kind
8:37
of like hello and getting very frosty and all that kind of stuff, and
8:41
you know, not being the cheerful water. What if I told her yes,
8:46
she'd have to be like, so you are also my son is actually
8:50
podcasting? Okay, yes, just well does ladies ever like ask you,
8:56
does Dana actually exist? To this day? This is I'm still never met
9:00
her. I've never seen her in the flesh. Haven't you never seen Louise
9:03
ever? I've never met her. She is real the premise. It's funny.
9:09
She said. The other night. We have these friends. We went
9:11
out to the party. They play something I mentioned in a while, but
9:13
very nice place. His name's David David. If you're listening, shout out
9:18
my man, love your house, love your wipe, well loved, love,
9:24
love your whole setup. Is what I'm saying. You've got it made,
9:26
sir. And the fact that you were taking time out to listen to
9:30
four Finger Discount and enjoy it and say to my girlfriend, wow, guys,
9:35
show is really good. First of all, calling guy show was great,
9:39
just guy and Dano. I still don't like the weed that sounds,
9:45
but he actually listens. What's his name, David, David cool to David
9:48
to David. Yeah, that's the end of that story. But you were
9:52
saying, Louise you're talking about how I've never met Louise, and then that
9:54
was just you're leading to that story getting was it getting anywhere? Oh?
9:56
No, just that she said the other night. I was like, David
10:00
really likes the show. Yeah, what's it like to have a fan?
10:03
I'm like, are you fan? Are you? Are you not my fan?
10:07
I think you're number one fan. Who would say is your number one
10:11
fan? Is your mum? Ors Louise, It's always gonna be your mum.
10:13
I think I would say so. Nicola gets me through more now because
10:18
I'm with her more than my mum. But I think your mum's always a
10:20
number one fans you know. Oh correct, Yes, I would say so.
10:22
Yeah, I would always fall back on our mum when we need to.
10:26
But yeah, as I was saying, I thought this was really believable
10:28
in the sense that Marge becomes addicted to the game, and I love the
10:31
whole refreshed refresh and who gett addicted and things, you know, when yeah,
10:33
you know you're ship to do around the house, You're like, oh,
10:37
but no, Twitter, I'm going to see what's going on the way
10:41
and how other people feel about it. And then ten minutes goes by it
10:43
and you don't even realize it. Like so many times, I'll be watching
10:45
the kids, right, I'll just get the phone up for five minutes,
10:46
I'm sitting there and now it's like, are you coming or not? And
10:48
I was like, oh, she's been like fifteen minutes and I've just been
10:52
zoned out. You know, you've done an absolute margin in front of the
10:54
screen. Yeah. Yeah. Also the Lisa and Homer story here where Homer
10:58
becomes the referee for Lisa's soccer class. When does that happen in the episode?
11:01
It's like ten minutes in? Is it that far in? I've got
11:05
at least halfway through a minute. It's like, oh, okay, so
11:07
we've got to beat plot. Yeah, okay, Yeah, I don't know
11:11
it was that long to be I didn't really. I thought it was in
11:13
the episode more than what it was. But I did like the story because
11:16
it's always nice seeing Lisa being the bad guy in the situation. Because Rohma
11:18
didn't really do anything wrong here when he was like breaking the rules to help
11:22
Lisa, you can understand why he was doing that, Yes, correct,
11:24
I mean I did appreciate that, Yeah, when he sort of went about
11:28
it in a half assed way and yeah, disappointed his daughter. He's like,
11:31
well we better shape up. So yeah, he'd learn the rules and
11:35
he did the right thing and all that kind of stuff. Yeah, taught
11:37
her lesson taught her less And indeed, I mean both these plots, if
11:43
you take out the story aspect, they're kind of like, oh, okay,
11:46
well we've seen both of these before. I mean when you tend to
11:48
put usually when you put Margin bart together, it'll be well, we're doing
11:54
something together. Oh but initially didn't like it. It was embarrassed, but
11:56
now he sort of came around to see the era of good Way. Ever
12:00
though, actually, like me in Margin the Game, I don't think he
12:01
ever actually did because we had that episode. I think it was last season
12:05
where they went they wrote their bikes together, right, and he wasn't joining
12:07
himself and he got embarrassed and then to go away. This one he was
12:11
a bit different. I think he was just like it was more t yeah
12:13
yeah, yeah right, but okay, So it's a variation on that theme,
12:18
and I guess it was the same with Lisa and Homer with Lisa from
12:20
Homie're right. I think the gaming plot is maybe what two thirds of the
12:24
episode and probably about a third. Yeah, yeah, look, both perfectly
12:30
fine. Both the entertaining. I mean I think that were in there because
12:31
they had a reason to get Ronaldo in. Ronaldo's guest appearance wasn't like all
12:37
that. It wasn't much to it, really. But the thing is,
12:39
if Ronaldo's going to come on the show, you're going to make a spot
12:41
for Ronaldo to be on the show, You're absolutely Ronaldo correct. I read
12:46
online people are saying it's one of the worst appearances ever, and I was
12:48
like, it wasn't one of the worst appearances. I mean, he's acting
12:50
wasn't great, but it's like it's fucking Ronaldo indeed. Indeed, I mean,
12:54
if we're going to we'll talk about that when we get to have private
12:56
moments. If you're like, okay, then yes. Now one note here,
13:00
one little nitpick I have with the episode, just the show in general.
13:01
At this point, it feels like so many of the secondary characters that
13:05
we've come to love over the years are just so unhappy. Now. So
13:09
you used always been Mo was the unhappy one and things like that, but
13:13
like the love Joys in particular, that whole save our trouble marriage save our
13:16
trouble Mariage. I was like, what, what where does this come from?
13:20
They've sort of like hinted at it and things like that, but to
13:20
sort of just openly say we're not happy save our marriage child. I was
13:24
like, ah, yeah, it sounds like they're making the subtext text in
13:30
a lot of things. I mean, I've if we're talking Nippis, I
13:33
certainly had a gripe, which was explaining a joke or letting a jug go
13:37
on too long, or though Ronaldo bit. For me, I hate it
13:39
when they get a guest star and they go it's Ronaldo, he's won so
13:41
many World Cups, blah blah, because our American fans and American viewers won't
13:45
know who he is because we don't follow soccer here. I was like,
13:46
let me just just say it's Ronaldo and make the fucking viewer do the researcher
13:50
don't understand who it is, don't don't tell us. It was like,
13:52
hey, look, it's Britney Spear. It's just like shut up. The
13:56
injet was still new at this stage. Yes, as they demonstrated sounds,
14:00
how do I find out row? Yeah, I've got to go into what's
14:03
it Wahoo yippie. I very much thought when I was that scene where March
14:09
doesn't have the email, I'm like, this is so my mom. My
14:11
mom has email, but she's just useless at it. No, I'm sure
14:13
she went on me saying that she's just no good at technology emails. She's
14:16
always like Brendan had to open an email. I'm like, thick on it.
14:20
I'm but where is on my phone? I'm like, well, if
14:22
we didn't have seven thousand fucking apps on your phone. Because she's one of
14:24
those people where she's like, my phone, I know where everything is.
14:28
I don't want to get a new one. So she hasn't upgraded her phone
14:30
for like eight years, right, okay, but she's just been filling it
14:33
and filling it and feeling it. She's one of those people who she doesn't
14:35
organize anything. So new app just downloads and just go through the home screen.
14:37
She doesn't drag it into a folder. So it's just there's no folders
14:41
on her phone. It's just you know, when you need to swipe pages
14:43
to find the new app, there's like thirty of them. She's just my
14:45
gosh, and it's just it gives me a headache. Looking at her phone.
14:48
So when margin like I don't have email, I'm like, this is
14:50
my mum. I'm just thinking about the early days of the Internet, when
14:54
it was like how do I find stuff? And you know that were the
14:58
sort of multiple search engines going arou Google and carter Encyclopedia. You know,
15:03
do I use Yahoo or something like that? Were you in Carda and Psycopedia
15:07
or a Potanica? I don't think I was either. Really how did you
15:09
find that information before Google? Probably just Yahoo or just before before the Internet
15:13
though, well, but probably use actual books. But in Cartera and Psycopedia
15:16
was was a oh there were probably I don't know when Carda sounds more familiar
15:20
okay, but probably did. And Carda was like so long ago, and
15:24
card was like Google before we had Google. Okay, So I'm glad we
15:26
got Google, man, And also being at Google falls over. And the
15:30
thing is Google, though, is you don't have to think I mean,
15:31
it's amazing. You couldn't live without Google now, because, for example,
15:35
Aliot might say to me where the clouds come from? And I'm like,
15:37
you know what, mate, I actually have no idea. Let's google it
15:41
where I just feel like sometimes now, it'd be nice to just think about
15:46
things and I wonder why that is happening or I do know that, but
15:48
it's easy if I just have the phone tell me. It's like, use
15:50
your brain and find that core little bit of knowledge that you've got stored.
15:54
You know it's in there, find it true. But there's a lot of
15:56
just yeah, basic every day information is kind of like, well, you
16:00
know, I was watching the watching the Tennis with the Lovely Luise last night
16:03
and young Felix and you know, now so and so I don't know,
16:07
but I know someone who does. Thanks Google, so and it was it
16:14
doesn't have a lot of stuff, but there's anything you didn'tok about the episode.
16:17
I think I've talked in the past about how letting we're letting jokes go
16:19
on too long or explaining them too much. So when Margine that's sort of
16:23
the very primitive version of Google Maps or whatever. It's your home from space
16:27
or something like that, and oh my god, home is naked on a
16:30
hamm Yeah yeah, and he sort of jumps out and he runs into Flanders's
16:34
place, Flanders saying, oh, you've made my parents. That's a great,
16:38
that's great. Leave it on that leave it on that that's I went,
16:42
that's good. Not naked. I haven't Oh what why didn't need it?
16:48
I didn't need it. Yeah, that's just oppressing, just depressingly.
16:56
I completely agree. So sometimes like you had the joke, you really had
16:59
it, and you're you're stuck the landing. It's that kid who gets a
17:02
laugh and then runs out joking to the ground. Yes, at a party,
17:04
you're like ah, Or when you go to like a pub, I
17:07
overget there was this I don't know what you know, I stopping the other
17:10
day. Now, Sometimes sometimes you just got these core memories from your childhood.
17:14
You don't know why they're so vivid any memory. They're not like you,
17:17
terrifying or horrible experiences or anything, but just memories that you have.
17:21
And the one I was talking about was we're talking about marathons, right,
17:25
and there's a Simpsons marathon called the Simpsons fan Fest, which aired during the
17:27
two thousand Olympics right on Fox eight. And I, for some reason just
17:32
have this core memory of driving to cry village with my old man and him
17:34
buying me two five packs of VHS tips that I can put on long Play
17:38
and take the entire marathon. Why I had that memory? I have no
17:41
idea now because of that memory, I was going to talk about the start
17:45
of that. What was the core memory? What were we talking about the
17:48
explaining gags? Was it? Yes? Oh man, I've lost it.
17:51
I'm getting no damn your Google. Yes, we're coming to you for too
17:56
much stuff. What was I going to talk about and listen? Wouldn't it
18:00
be terrifying for new Let's google it. Let's let's see what happened to be
18:03
in top with them to Google? Let's go to Google. What was I
18:07
going to just say? How to remember something you were just thinking about?
18:11
Would you like to know? Yes? I would, But it says yeah,
18:15
literally, Google says how to remember something you were just thinking about two
18:18
seconds ago about then instantly forgot. Here's what works when you can't remember something
18:22
that you're thinking about a couple of seconds ago. Stop what you're doing,
18:26
sit or stand up straight and breathe and let's not breathe and relax. I
18:30
was doing that now I'm not. It will come to me at some point
18:34
in the episode. Oh yeah, you're talking about them just talking down overdoing
18:38
gags. Yes, very much the case. I nearly had it again,
18:42
I nearly had it as a kid. Ah, it's about a kid.
18:47
It's going to come to me. It's a kid though. Simpsons fan Fest
18:49
Grand was an Olympics before then though, So basically I was talking about core
18:53
memories that just stick with you. Yes, and it's something about a kid.
18:56
Oh, yes, I found it. Yes before all right, someone
18:59
I was a kid and we finally got their people. That's amazing. How
19:02
the frameworks this is a saying. I sat up straight, I breathed,
19:06
I relaxed, and iod. Thanks Google. No. So basically, we're
19:11
at the pub and we had this guy guy. We still got my uncle
19:14
Ean, it wasn't really our uncle, and it lived in Meredith, and
19:15
there's that in Meredith for aw you listeners. There's like a pub, a
19:18
post office and maybe a milbar. And we're at the pub and we're two
19:22
small kids and there was this guy there, this drunk guy, and he
19:25
was like playing darts and for some reason he just goes bad. I made
19:27
this funny sound and my sister was like slags. I thought it was hilarious,
19:32
but they're like ten straight minutes you just get gone bab and I'm like
19:34
it was funny. The fourteenth time, but it's not funny, and I'm
19:37
just like, how do I leave? And I started walk away and he's
19:41
like that like talking about and I was like, I'm getting scared that the
19:45
idea of just you said something it was funny. Leave, yes, drop
19:48
your mic and walk out the door. But this guy, I honestly ten
19:52
minutes just gone. My sister. My sister and I have a gag now,
19:55
but sometimes you just go because we don't remember it. But do you
20:00
have a core memory in your mind that if I'm not your child, to
20:03
where it's just like why is that so vivid? Why did that stick in
20:06
my brain? Why? Why can I not forget about this? Oh?
20:08
Yeah, there were certainly a few, and I mean some are scary and
20:11
some are pleasant to remember. And someone just kind of like, yeah that
20:15
happened. Yeah, that's buying those tapes like that, that just happened.
20:18
It's just we went to the shop and bot these tapes with this fan facet
20:19
But like, what was the why is that so vivid? Yeah? I
20:22
remember one day I was Dad took me to Melbourne for something or other.
20:27
He was meeting up with some guy that he knew with Jack Dyer would have
20:32
been nice. It was Jack. No, it was some business guy,
20:33
but not necessarily a high powered business man. It's only just a guy who
20:36
sold a bunch of stuff. And this guy had like a few tabletop video
20:41
games in Look my phone, lukas Rian, it's a scam. Artists.
20:45
Are you getting scammed in real time? Put them on? Hello, Hi,

Josh Helly out Logan b and James Sheppard. Thank you so much for being
24:03
supporters of ours on the Fourthing a discount Patreon Hall of Fame names. Every
24:07
one of them my favorite. All right, mister Davis, did you have
24:11
any favorite moments on this episode before we skimmed through it? I only had
24:14
two, really, okay. I did like that the that Hella loved Joy
24:18
turned into a real soccer mom. Yeah, you're as blind. Jesus couldn't
24:22
heal you. I thought that was actually not a not a bad biblical burn,
24:26
so that was kind of funny. I hate how they sort of taken
24:30
the gossiper aspect out of it, because her sort of gimmu used to be,
24:33
well, somebody think of the children, But now she's always got a
24:36
bit too much sass for herself. Now a little bit she has sass.
24:38
In the Pretzel episode, she'll stot the ring leader of the of that group
24:42
that was sort of making fun of March, you know, the opposition that
24:45
kicked her out. But I don't know, I prefer to see her.
24:48
We haven't heard what somebody please think of the children for so long. I
24:52
think it'd be nice to want to go back to that sometimes because we do
24:53
get a character here, which is one of my favorite moments, going back
24:56
to their old school form, which I reallyciated, And it may have been
25:00
lost on you because you weren't really offend the early earlier Simpsons, But one
25:03
of my favorite moments was Mo gone, what's the matter? Homer and bart
25:07
there used to be seeing every episode home would go to Moe's and Mo was
25:11
just a bartend. That's what his name. I'm just a bartender. He
25:12
was just a button. What's the matter Homer? And he would give him
25:15
good advice, where now it's like eh angry had everything where I just thought,
25:21
that's why he's got the real MO tight up at the back. But
25:23
it was a silly gag, but I was like, like, what's the
25:26
matter home? That used to be like this thing, yeah, and the
25:29
other thing I enjoyed. I enjoyed Ronaldo because I mean, look, when
25:33
it comes to sport, I've often said that I was an enthusiastic amateur,
25:37
and I think you could say the same thing about Ronaldo when it comes to
25:38
voice acting. I'm pretty sure he learned his lines phonetically, but he went
25:42
about it with Gusto, and I appreciated what his lack of polish in the
25:48
voice booth was matched by his enthusiasm, and I think his happiness of being
25:52
on The Simpsons, and he dubbed himself in the Brazilian version as well.
25:56
I should hope he would. I liked Mo as the troll under the bridge,
26:02
and I liked the Virgin Mary fight scene because I loved how it was
26:06
a almost like a shot for shot take off of the Neo Agent Smith in
26:11
Reloaded. Now do you remember when it came out Reloaded? That fight sequence
26:15
was huge. I remember everyone was just in awe of the CGI, don't
26:18
you can you remember? I do remember? Yes, it was like how
26:19
they going to top the Matrix? Now? They were certainly trying their best
26:22
because the first one was the bending backwards thing, and this one was like
26:26
we've got like a million agures stables. Yeah, and you watch it now
26:29
and you're kind of like, that's a bit it's almost a bit too much.
26:32
It's a bit of overkill, and by the time you reach Revolutions,
26:33
it's like, oh, this is too much. Yeah. I watched Revolutions
26:37
once. I think wanted the movies to watch it. But then we had
26:41
to do like a class called the Matrix and More. I've mentioned it several
26:44
times in this podcast. My English year ten class was called the Matrix and
26:47
More, where we just watched the Matrix and did essays on it. That's
26:48
all we did. That was the class, right, It's pretty rare.
26:49
Yeah, it was pretty rad But like whenever it was time to do essays
26:52
on revolution and then one was like a yes, it's like trying to make
26:59
up. It's like I don't think they even knew what they were going for
27:02
here, so I'm not going to try and decode it. It's just too
27:04
much. If they knew what they were going for, they certainly had trouble
27:07
expressing it to us. Yes, next question, you there eating the paste?
27:11
All right. My first question for you, mister Davis is what is
27:15
the date of Marge's birthday? Oh? Damn. Quite a bit of extra
27:18
research this one, Yeah, which I failed to do because she said it
27:22
was Randy Quaid's birthday. Oh that's right. I don't know Randy Quay's birthday,
27:25
so please tell me his birthday is the same day as my NaN's birthday
27:29
October first. Oh, okay, will you just see you had up a
27:32
hand in this well, but not really have to do the research, but
27:36
you're willing to do research. Yeah. And in the Spain version, I
27:38
don't know why I remember, because they don't think they'd know who Randy quad
27:41
is. She said her birthday was the same day as make Ryans, which
27:44
is November nineteenth. How odd it is? Odd? Yeah, your first
27:48
question, My first question to you. According to the Goblin code, what
27:52
must a goblin remove in the presence of the lady? That's literally my second
27:55
question, Hatton years, Yeah, what do you do? What do you
27:57
have the press to bring someone back to life? It's a control old second
28:03
one alte control over old de alt f five repeatedly, five repeatedly. Okay,
28:11
this is why I don't use computer. Uh HESBLA owns what little Dolly
28:18
cakes of some kind of cakes? That cakes. I've got here the search
28:22
results. When Marge giggled herself, can you tell me any of them?
28:26
Uh? Was one of them? Governor March Simpson. Oh yeah, so
28:30
it was March Simpson, lieutenant governor of Tennessee seventy two to seven years.
28:33
There was also I think an actual March. There was actual margin because there
28:37
was Marge Bouvier or there was March Simpson Springfield folk artist from the one where
28:41
she builds the popsicle sticks art as well as Oh she wasn't a fake?
28:45
What was one where she is mum and pop art? Now that was Homer
28:48
when he hits the things. Yeah. Yeah, We've also got Marge Bouvier
28:52
Simpson camp Landman alumni directory, which is from the episode The Way We Weren't
28:56
Went, Homer and Marge kiss for the first time. I don't remember it,
28:57
and no kids correct and we get Springfield. Sorry, Marge Simpson dashed
29:02
Springfield Realty from Realty bytes where it was the final line of Heart's appearance and
29:06
the debut of Gil Anderson. You did your research, Well, I didn't
29:11
really do the research. It just told me, all right, one more
29:15
question for you. Which teams were playing opposite one another? In Brighton,
29:19
England nineteen eighty five Sussex sort of? Yeah, it was Manchester United versus
29:26
Sussington Sussxton, Hamptonshire upon Leith. Okay, yeah, that's an actual tragedy
29:32
eighty five crowd. Oh yeah, yeah, you've got some real bad ship
29:37
that happened at soccer rides and stadium collapses and all that kind of business.
29:40
That was like the big one. You remember that you obviously you would have
29:42
been around for it. Yeah. I mean I've heard about it, but
29:45
people like thirty nine people died or something. I don't recall. It started
29:48
with h the Hazel Stadium disaster. Yeah, so basically there was a fire
29:52
breakeout and thirty nine happened to occurred on twenty ninth of May nineteen eighty five,
29:56
when mostly juven to Juventus Juventus fans escaping from a breach by Liverpool fans
30:03
were pressed against a collapsing wall in Brussels Belgium before the start of the Cup
30:07
final between the Italian and English clubs. Thirty one people, mostly Italians,
30:11
were killed at six hundred were injured in the confrontation. Moly, Yeah,
30:15
craziness. Yeah, there's one where I'm not sure. I don't think it
30:18
was that one, but there was some English game where they'll pressed against they
30:22
couldn't get out. Remember that when they pressed against the fence and they got
30:26
like suffocated. Yeah, that sounds familiar. Okay, it was like a
30:27
fire broke out and everyone was trying to get out, but they were trying
30:30
to push the fence over. They just got crushed. They couldn't get it
30:33
out. Horrifying. Horror. And speaking of horrifying, let's review by the
30:37
Gamer. No. So, the original air day of March Gamer was April
30:41
twenty second, two thousand and seven, apparently in a couple of days after
30:45
the debut of The Simpsons and The Tracy Elman Show. Yeah, with their
30:48
short good Night. I've never watched all of the Tracy Elma shorts. That's
30:51
one thing I'm going to have to do one day. We should do that,
30:53
and maybe even podcasts about it. Was that still a podcast about him?
30:56
Why not? They can you go for a couple of minutes each,
30:57
Let's do it. And it was written by Jay Stuart Burns and directed by
31:00
Bob Anderson. So the episode kicks off obviously there's no no chalk gap,
31:06
but the catch gag was the cash gag nation on the headline. Yes,
31:11
So the episode kicks off with the PTA meeting's fail your children to get them.
31:15
I feel like I'm going to start going to some of these with Ali
31:18
going, Oh, they start school in one week. It's crazy, right,
31:21
father, time is just you know, when you started this podcast,
31:23
Elliott was eighteen months old. He's now going to school. Oh my god,
31:33
oh man dear. When I started this podcast. When I started this
31:37
podcast, Elliott was still three years from conception. The show's a bit of
31:44
a veteran. Nearly nine years old. Wow, right, nearly nine years
31:48
of my life's been doing this show. Nine years. Have been sticking with
31:49
us. Thank you for all of your support over the years. But they've
31:52
sold the Science Department skeleton and have replaced it with the costume Willian and Halloween
31:57
costume returns it to the plastic snapcase. The Italian Triple Trip to Italy is
32:00
now going to be a trip to Papa John's and they would not be getting
32:02
their fifte hred deposit back. Good animation, you see super charm. It's
32:08
just sort of looking over. It's gonna just discuss itself. Really, you,
32:13
how have you let this get so bad Papa John's. I consense that
32:17
I would like this place. I thought I'd go there and be like,
32:20
give me the biggest pizza you have. It's a pizza chain and the chain
32:23
is it? Okay? Yeah? It just don't know, just screams Dando's
32:27
Life, Dando's Heaven. This is the last time I'm going to mention this
32:30
because I think you're getting sick of it. But there was that WTF interview
32:34
with Bone. We get it, you want to circle joke with I do
32:37
I do my new besties but we collect books? Well no, no,
32:43
no, But he was talking about how we grew up in this college town
32:45
in the US, New Haven, Connecticut, and they apparently have like these
32:49
competing pizza parlors and there's this whole like actually, there's more than one ninety
32:53
minute documentary on YouTube about New Haven pizza because everyone talks about like, oh
32:59
should go, it's got deep just pizza or New Pizza and Best and New
33:01
Haven Pizza was apparently like the best kept secret in the world that what was
33:05
called Pizza Haven. I don't know, do you remember Pizza Haven? Was
33:07
there a pizza where was that in Geelong? I remember Pizza Haven? The
33:10
friend was not Pizza Hut, but and Dougie the guy was that the I
33:14
thought Dougie was the Pizza Hut guy. I'm certain he was Pizza Haven Pizza
33:20
even this could just be like you know sometimes you think, you ever think
33:22
that never you're doing is that this? No, that's not the Mezza Haven
33:25
was an Australian New Zealand pizza restaurant. There it is there, Pizza Haven.
33:29
The lego was vivid in my memory? Remember that? Oh yes,
33:31
I do remember that. But I'm pretty sure that Dougie was Pizza Hut.
33:35
Was he really? Okay, I'm certain he was Pizza Haven anyway, the
33:38
pizza guy, he's what happened to him. He ends up hosting a game
33:42
show called Challenger with kids. You watch it and you're like, were you
33:45
doing this because of like community service? Because you're clearly not wanting to be
33:47
there? Yeah? Well, I mean it's incredible how you certain things get
33:52
stuck in your head. I mean Dmi Demid Heydenreich and his sister was like
33:57
in a band called Girlfriend, like a girl group. Yeah. Is he
34:00
hosted the game show Challenge until he left the show. Yeah. Yeah,
34:04
and he was kind of like he was Pizzah, you're right, Dugget the
34:06
pizza delivery guy. Yeah, but he sort of parlayed that into a bit
34:08
of a bit of a thing. He was on Water Rats and Mcloud's Daughters.
34:13
Yeah, he's underbelly. What impact of the rafters Home and Away it
34:17
is? Scout, Let's get do get the pizza guy on? Why not?
34:23
Let's give it a whirl? Yeah, speaking of right fun fact,
34:28
one of our upcoming guests is going to be Tom Libertore from the Western Bulldogs

35:35
a discamp. But yeah, Doug get the pizza guy. He was We
35:37

35:40
guess on the commercials was, and it's like Dugy the pizza guys here.
35:43
Yeah, he was like a human Spuds Mackenzie. Yeah he really was.
35:46
Yeah, I'm just looking at him here. I'm like, I don't think

35:52

35:57

36:07
have email. Oh, mate, you gotta get on the net. It's
36:12
got all the best conspiracy theories. Did you know that Hesbella owns Little Dolly
36:16
snackcakes? This stuff will rock your world? Fine? I want the wow
36:22
or yippie or okay or pooka dooka, whatever it's called. Can we move
36:27
this meeting along? I pay my taxes, I expect my orange drink,
36:37
Amprodusia. Then we get slach mel Oh why why do we get mail?
36:42
What was the fucking point of this? Oh? What actually was the point?
36:45
Added nothing to the scene, didn't fur the story, made no sense.
36:50
What was the point of it? Ambrosia? What the fuck? What
36:53
is going on? Am I losing my mind? Is there something I'm not
36:57
saying here? You're not. Now this is terror, You're probably gonna boot
37:00
off the podcast. But her voice is Melligan. It's Dan, It's Dan.
37:05
Okay, well they is there some Is there something in Dan's contract where
37:08
he's like, yeah, I get an extra I get a pay boost if
37:12
you know, I do more than no, because he's not the one right
37:14
in the episode, he's just doing a tellme to do. I just think
37:16
that they just the writers obviously just had a thing for Mal. I can't
37:20
wait to get like Matt Salmone or whoever back on the show and be like,
37:22
what was the fascination with Mal? What is the deal with Mal?
37:25
I just do not understand. Marge then goes online for the first time.
37:30
She finds out the weather. I don't have to go outside anymore, and
37:32
then she never gotside to shop either. She's shopping online for peppertowel. She
37:36
finds sixty six cents. Get in the car. We're going to Pennsylvania.
37:38
That's literally the thing you and I have discussed before. Somewhere has something five
37:42
dollars cheaper, and you'll spend seven dollars in a feel to get there.
37:44
Correct, We're not smart. We're not smart at all. We're impulsive apes,
37:50
is what were? Marge has six hundred and twenty eight thousand results when
37:52
she googles herself, and all the time she thought googling herself and something else
37:55
kind of does. Homer is now naked on Google Google Earth because she looks
37:59
up the house refuses. We've already discussed this. Hease planning his parents.
38:01
He's naked now. At dinner time, Marge's explaining everything that she's learned by
38:06
going online. Same birthday as Randy Quaid and whatnot. And little political joke
38:09
here from Lisa. You're the same as Christopher Columbus, discovering something that millions
38:15
of people already knew about before. Then she sent everyone an e card on
38:17
Saint Patrick's day. This was thisou be what it was like. This is
38:21
like the equivalent of poking people. You poke someone and they wouldn't poke back,
38:25
and you're like, did I do something I poked? You poke me
38:30
back? It's like, hey, how you doing? It's me. But
38:32
she's been getting no replies from anybody, so she keeps sitting refresh, refreshed,
38:36
refresh, refresh, And it's so true. That's the result. You
38:38
know, when you post a meme more. You post something and you get
38:40
a lot of traction. Yes, you get so greedy and you get addicted
38:44
and you're like, I need to post another thing, And when the next
38:45
one doesn't get tracks, and you're like, what did I do wrong?
38:49
What was it about this? Well? Why didn't three thousand people like this
38:52
one? But then she goes through all the different banner ads, stalky classmates
38:55
vote for president when a boat single am racist, And she finds Earthland Earthland
39:01
Realms and RPG game and she comes through the terms and conditions just click agree.
39:07
It's very much. We don't read the terms of conditions, but Marge,
39:09
I can believe it's a composon who would read them. Yes indeed.
39:12
Yeah, I mean, oh god, they're just they're so long. Listen
39:15
print is so small. Yeah yeah, No, it's just they're gonna get
39:20
my infun anyway, it's my mum. Basically, it's like, you know,
39:22
she's the kind of person who will hear out of tellermarket just to see
39:24
what they've got to say. And I'm like, you know, you're not
39:27
gonna hang up. Its gonna be a good deal, but it'soped I'm not
39:30
gonna hang up on them. That's rude. I'm like, they called you
39:32
a six thirty during dinner time. But my mum and dad they're funny with
39:37
like I'm not gonna put my credit card on something. I'm like, you
39:39
literally entered your details together, Like they know all your details are online.
39:44
You know you've you've bought something online, you're on eBay. Yeah, yeah,
39:46
but I don't want them to have it. I'm like, if you've
39:49
given it to someone, the whole world's going Yeah, but they just can't
39:51
wrap their heads around that, like that. Everyone knows all the information already.
39:53
Yeah, it's already out there. Yeah, you're putting a small degree
39:58
of trust in the hands of I don't know whoever you've given it to.
40:00
It's like, yeah, I hope your firewalls strong enough. Yeah. So
40:05
she creates a character though Marge not a woman with bazooms. She gets shoes
40:08
that are sensible, body type, olive oil and face other and just looks
40:15
like Marge. And then let's roll play. Oh like that that it's very
40:19
much. It's very much, yes, but it fit the episode. And
40:22
then she says, like a renaissance fair with a chubby couples and she just
40:24
walks into the wall. Now, this is a gag that I can appreciate
40:28
because when I'm playing games, I'm talking of them and just walking to the
40:30
wall. Just that's sort of like the go to visual for like gamers you
40:34
don't know how to game right very much? Yeah, just walking to a
40:37
war and Grandpa's doing the same thing in real life. Then the Wizard gives
40:39
her a quest. Greetings, cleric, will you undertake a quest on my
40:45
behalf? Maybe I should run this by my husband. First, things are
40:50
more fun if you just answer yes, then yes, hiving me for a
40:53
fan mine arduous quests once again, just yes, yes. First you might
41:00
fine the almond ale of nux and ore, I see us that wrong?
41:06
You have phoned it. And then Marge is instantly hooked and she goes to
41:09
cook a stew and needs more goat sole and she's been up all day and
41:14
Bark visits that it's been up all day and night. That was funny,
41:16
that's not saturday. Barke goes to play golf. Marge then needs some sleep,
41:21
but she's addicted. She can't sleep, and I think we've all been
41:22
there, right, You point me like I should probably go to bed,
41:27
but just one more, just one more? Oh yeah, absolutely, just
41:30
one more YouTube video or for me, mean it's less computers and were like,
41:35
oh, one more episode of this show. Yes, yes, hashtag
41:37
now watching your podcast? Oh not a bad idea. Sman is already now
41:42
watching podcast? Probably yes, but Marge, yes, I said, she's
41:46
hooked in the game. She's playing it a lot, and she finds a
41:50
poo is playing the game as well. For some reason, I watched this
41:53
the first time last week and rewatch it today. I thought there was more
41:55
characters in the game, but I like that there wasn't that many, because
42:00
it would be a bit unrealist that everyone in Springfield is playing this. Absolutely
42:02
yeah, yep. So she finds a Pooh and then she finds Snake,
42:06
who is prison guardsing that he's on the law degree. Then missus Kay,
42:09
matter where she is, she's sexy. Ha Medieval is always a little bit
42:15
sexy. I think she's my cartoon crush these days, he's your cartoon crush.
42:17
Oh gosh. When I was a kid, it was Jessica Rabbit,
42:22
but now it's Missus Kay. I would I would say Velma from Scooby Do,
42:27
except more like the live action filmas Linda Garden, they've made Veilma weird
42:31
now Yeah, and also yeah, the Mindy Kaling Filma is just apparently not
42:35
good and that big giling enchantress is missus Cobble. This game is a great
42:39
way to meet eligible man who can afford a computer access to one of the
42:45
school library. It's amazing how you can be a turkey in every reality.
42:51
What's important is we're talking. I'm oh, I'm playing this while I'm on
42:55
a can Wow, Ma, you're a troll. No, my character is
43:00
supposed to look like me. Why does everyone keep thinking I'm a troll?
43:19
Who are we hiding from this shadow Night? Where he rides death? He's
43:22
sure to follow the Shadow Night. He's the most evil, destructive player in
43:27
this game. He once beat me to death with my own life bar.
43:30
Everyone's just hiding. Then he kills Principal Skinner with his flame sword or whatever
43:34
it's called, and who then eats it because he's good and moist. Then
43:37
Marge, she says, I can't watch this. This is just weird.
43:39
So she overhears bart Is the is the Night King, and she's very very
43:43
proud of him, as she would be. Yeah, he's running the show.
43:45
The thing is though, in this game, so this is based on
43:49
the world of warcraft. In those kind of game, I'm assuming when you
43:51
die, you just respawn. So why is that when someone dies in the
43:53
game, it's like they're dead. Like when Marge died let him every side,
43:57
I'm like, did she not just respawn white of them? Yeah,
44:00
I mean this is the thing. I mean, she clearly well, she
44:01
seems like she's very cluey about the game getting better at her she goes along,
44:07
so you think she'd know about respawning or just restarting or whatever. I
44:10
mean, I can understand if Skinner was kind of like, oh, I'm
44:13
dead. I guess this means I can't play this game anymore. Yeah,
44:15
just a bit of a clueless oldly when it comes to the video, not
44:19
unlike you and I. Yeah, but you think that Marge would probably understand
44:22
a bit more. And this has just been playing of course. Yeah.
44:24
But the next I come back from commercial Shadow Night, he's really really tired
44:28
Lady Milhouse, who has a spell on him which the Shadow Night hasn't reversed
44:31
yet. He says that, you know, he's just trying to be his
44:34
helper. Then Marge arrives and I've got here. She got into his castle
44:37
pretty easy for someone who's trying to be secretive, but she says, the
44:42
millhouse is pretty it's a spell and thank you. Then, but I like
44:45
this, How would you like it if I came shopping with you? I
44:50
mean, I think we could all see that one coming. But it's still
44:53
I like the way Julie said it. Yeah, we're now at Moe's or
44:57
the Moe's equivalent in Esthland Realms. So why is the Margee being a Bart
45:01
in the even in the game because he knows? Yeah, but the Shadow
45:06
Night says, squeeze the blood from the pixie head and hit yourself with this
45:08
mace, reciting the Goblin code. Then Mark Marge walks in and embarrasses Bart.
45:14
I assumed that the whole thing was going to be that no one knew
45:15
who the Shadow Night was, and then margor accident revealed it at some point,
45:21
But he just like takes off his mask because she walks and says,
45:22
hey Bart. I'm like, oh, so everyone knows it's Bart again.
45:25
But I guess the thing is they can't do it because his character was so
45:29
powerful regardless of who's running the show. That the way, it doesn't matter
45:31
if it's a kid. I had to wait until his energy was was depleted.
45:35
Yeah, home and then sees so now after second at home and then
45:38
sees less addressing for soccer. Yeah, so it was a fair way into
45:42
the episode. Yeah, conscious about you shouldn't a about the boobs. She
45:45
says she watched bend It like Beckham. I've never seen Benda like Beckham.
45:50
I don't think. I think I've only said it once. It's perfectly nice.
45:53
Yeah. It was big at the time. Oh yeah, very big.
45:55
Yeah, but I think every like everyone was jumping on board the key
46:00
a nightly train. They were so to speak, every five to ten years.
46:05
It felt like ee, like five years. It felt like a big
46:07
British movie came around. Yes, the first one I can remember that really
46:09
took off from in my ear. It was The Full Monthy. That's the
46:13
earliest one I can remember that was really like big. Then it was like
46:15
Bendall like Beckham, and Billy Elliott was huge as well. Billy. It
46:17
was very big. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, well one other ones have
46:20
come around Snatch, oh yeah, well lock Stock before that. Yeah,
46:27
something that I've put one of my contenders in the upcoming movie Guys sweepsakes of
46:31
course, four Weddings in the Funeral, which was very big back in ninety
46:34
four. It was the British It is holy shit. Didn't realize that certainly
46:37
is That's one of the ones that I've always just had on my nicol and
46:42
I will enjoy this, I know we will. We'll watch it one day,
46:44
but at the moment, we're getting through all the action movies that I
46:45
want to see when I was a kid. So it finished like as I
46:50
wa washing it. What's it called the equal Equalized? Yes, because apparently
46:52
part two is okay, Part two is not bad, and part three is
46:54
pretty good as well. Is that part three? There's a third? Are
46:57
you kidding me? I'm not shuting you. Yes. I was blown away
47:00
by how violent it was, though I was fucking not expecting this. Oh
47:04
yeah, they're very, very brutal. I could not believe. I was
47:07
like, oh, so John Wick just ripped this off, right, Yeah,
47:12
I think they were ripped off. Taken, Yeah, we see,
47:15
Taken wasn't a violent though probably Taken was, Like I mean, taken,
47:21
is that the maker of I have a particular set of skills. That's true.
47:23
It's violent, but not necessarily bloody. And it's just very much like
47:28
John wicklock we were saying, Taken's just like they've kidnapped his daughter. That's
47:30
what you need. That's all you need. Give us an inciting incident and
47:37
then just let the mayhem happen. Taken is awesome, Right, I'm not
47:39
wrong in saying it's an awesome movie. It's pretty good. Yeah, I'm
47:43
not what it's supposed to be. Yeah, I mean they're stretching it by
47:45
doing taken To and Taken. I mean it's like, take the one I'm
47:49
talking about, Taken one, yes, take the rest of the movies out
47:51
there. Taken To is like, oh, you've done it again. Ah,
47:54
someone else take it then the first time I'll announced the wife. Ah
48:00
see Taking Force coming out? No, No, I'd be excited for what
48:06
they should make it and call it taken for granted. Yeah, that's the
48:09
thing. Are you a fan of that? Using the four or the two
48:13
in the title? No? And quite frankly, a good friend of mine
48:17
on john Wick Forever, that's how long a fucking goes for good friend of
48:22
mine on Twitter, as as his bios. If you spell seven. You
48:27
know how seven with the seven is that if you actually spell it like that,
48:30
putting you on a watch list. That's the thing. Seven the number
48:34
does not look like a V. No, so how did Why can my
48:37
brain read it like that? Then it's just weird. I guess could have
48:38
seen the number, but I'm like, that doesn't ever look like a V.
48:40
Yeah, just because of that Dannward's diagonal line, I guess. But
48:44
yeah, it's put it's pushing it. But no, I'm not a fan
48:46
of yeah putting the putting the number in the thing or anything like that.
48:50
No, I don't like it. I want I mean, apparently they've started
48:53
filming Tron three. Uh, and you know they had the sort of a
48:59
logo up for three. I'm probably gonna try and bring that back to the
49:04
millions time. Yeah, but the logo had t U three in It's like
49:09
that's that doesn't make sense. That doesn't make sense a trend. Yeah,
49:13
it's like I suppose the three if you do it certain way, it looks
49:15
a bit like a zero. But no, no, let's not do that.
49:21
Let's not let's not do it self conscious about your shins. Right day,
49:28
girls were worried about your boobs, dad, I'm going to play soccer.
49:34
I fell in love with the game when I saw then it Like Beckham
49:37
father, I am proud of my cultural heritage, but I also love soccer.
49:44
Tell him, Jazz Minder, I forbid you to bend attract Beckham.
49:47
Plus, you must marry this complete stranger. His father is an important business
49:52
acquaintance of mine. Love counts for nothing, you tell her, mister Dunnaby,
49:54
business contacts are more important than love. Wait, dad, sucker,
50:00
we always called it human football. Would you like me to take you to
50:05
your game? You already promised you would. Oh do I have to?
50:08
Then? Krusty is the coach of her team. He says, there's going
50:10
to know ref. They've canceled, So the whole game is canceled, and
50:14
Homer overhears that kids share their snacks with the ref. So he puts on
50:16
his foot locker uniform because he's been fired. He's warning the uniform. Homer
50:20
then hits the flag. Guy, i'm your father now, basically just him
50:23
being not a very respectable jerk aus Homer. Yes, He rips his shirt
50:29
off and his sports bra vomits in the cone. This is very angry.
50:31
At him for a good reason. She said, you're turning my new thing
50:34
into and you turn it into a joke, and not the hilarious kind of
50:37
joke, as she says. And she's disappointed but not surprised. Meanwhile,
50:40
in Earthland realm Marge is going down the bad path and she comes across mister
50:44
Burns, who's like a big premantus or something. He's looking for a Wall
50:46
Street online and then she comes across the bullies who are about to kill her,
50:51
but the Shadow Night Bart kills them. Well, well, looks like
50:54
something's finally about to happen in this game. Just in time. I was
50:59
about to go to the priory barn side to get design ideas. It's a
51:06
shadow night run. I forget how to do that controls. Thank you,
51:13
barn. This frame grab is going on my coffee cup. You guys want
51:17
to meet it to quickie mart I'm in the tub right now. I'm in
51:21
Denmark. Meanwhile, Homer is doing now doing well as a soccer coach SOCA
51:24
referee. You know, he's taken Lisa's disappointment on board and he has learn
51:29
the rules and everything is Lisa's very impressed. He's watched hours and hours of
51:31
soccer and you almost saw a God. I'll never get tired of those jokes.
51:36
I mean, you watched something when I was in England. The World
51:39
Cup was on, Well it was at the World Cup, Yeah, the
51:40
Women's World Cup, and like they get so excited over it, like nothing.
51:46
Oh, I like, and I know it's not nothing. English listens.
51:50
I'm not saying it's nothing, but I was like, we're so I
51:52
used to watching Australian rules football where it's happening all the time. There's always
51:54
something happening, and they're just like go to the note and I'm just like,
51:58
there's nowhere near the fucking there. Yeah. I mean I think like
52:01
most Australians, we watched the Matilda's last year and I think it was a
52:06
lot of last year. Yeah, a lot of For a lot of us.
52:08
It was our introduction to watching women's soccer, watching soccer in general.
52:13
The World Cup two thousand and six was the big one. Yeah. I
52:15
remember being in a nightclub mate and everyone in the nightclub was watching him,
52:17
Like next week we are not going to watch soccer, but right now everyone
52:21
the nightclub like dropped. There was like football games when the Matilda's are on,
52:23
like the AFL was on at the same time. They literally had an
52:27
extended break and put the game on the big screen for MCG. Like.
52:30
But I remember two thousand and six when they show got into the World Cup
52:32
for the first time. It was huge. Man, Maybe just because it
52:36
was the right I was the right age. I don't know. Oh,
52:37
I speaking for myself certainly, watching the Matildas last year it was like,
52:39
oh, this is their time we've actually sort of really sat down and watched
52:43
the whole game was like, hmm okay, yeah, stuff's happening. Yeah,
52:46
this is not exactly a thriller minute. It's more like a thrill every
52:50
five minutes. Yeah. Also, I don't quite understand the rules either,
52:53
which doesn't help, apologizes to all our soccer or football official. Yeah,
53:00
but I like to get Jessica love Joy here. We haven't seen her since
53:04
I don't think. Yeah, but yeah, say that troubled marriage and Lisa
53:07
then trips over her own feet. Homer calls a fowl, and Jessica Lovejoy
53:09
and Helen love Joy goes ape. Shit, admit it, I'm a spectator
53:14
addressing a player, and so me. She yells at Homer, she drops
53:17
the j bomb and he throws them both out of the game. I hate
53:21
that. There's I kind of like turn the love joint like a cuck,
53:23
like you know, it's just like you know, he just sort of it's
53:25
become amost like Skinner and missus Ka Skinner and Agnes almost where he's just like
53:30
yes, yes, yes love just like no yeah love. Joy used to
53:32
sort of have a bit of saste, a bit of mojo about it.
53:36
Yeah, yeah, but what was the episode the Listen Lady one? Yeah,
53:40
where he had to save the day? I remember at the end with
53:44
the baboons and all that, because Slanders gets gives Flanners some bad advice.
53:49
But Lisa then Lisa gets the idea, oh he's thrown them out. Maybe
53:52
I can use this to my advantage. Oh yeah, I mean it's always
53:54
it's always good when Lisa who Yeah, as we said, generally the moral
53:59
sort of compass of the show. So yeah, it goes a little skew
54:00
with Yep. She takes a dive. Every other kid must pay her a
54:04
dollar, and he says to clear us that your kids a dirty player and
54:07
says, I'm to take this from any Hillbilly Hill William to you. So
54:12
then Ronaldo arrives and he says he travels the world now exposing floppers. Lisa
54:15
is a flopper, you heard Heraldo, So he gives Lisa the yellow card
54:21
and she's like, you can't do that. You're my father. He says,
54:23
well, these shorts on, I'm not your father anymore, and given
54:25
how tight they are, nobody else is either. I'm not gonna be anywhere
54:29
else either, and then she rips up the card, so he throws her
54:30
out of the game and Rinaldo red carters. Yes, of course, he
54:34
throws her out. Yeah, and Ronaldo is proud that he broke up another
54:36
family. Bart then finds his trophy room, which has been given the Hello
54:40
Kidney expansion pack treatment. I like the faith it was an expansion pack.
54:45
I am a fan of the term expansion yea. But this is where he
54:49
starts smashing it all and accidentally kills Marge with his mace. So planned to
54:52
see with the mace earlier with Mo, and he excellently killed March with him.
54:55
Marge is now annoyed in the real world, and Bart explained that you
54:59
know, you know, anyway, I wasn't and joined the game anymore because
55:00
you were in there. Then Lisa and Homer arrived home. You ruined my
55:02
life. It's funny. Nicholas sister. Her daughter is six months younger than
55:07
Elliott, so she's like five. I think there's just turned five. Apparently
55:12
she's just like they started school earlier in English, so she's already started school
55:14
and she's only just turned five. That's like young, right, what they're
55:16
smarter than I. I don't know they understand socker, but she said something
55:22
on the lines of you're ruining my life, and I'm like, kid,
55:23
you're five. You have plenty of under on your ass. You do,
55:29
indeed, but by jumping Johnny Cakes, there was Dames of Cheese and I'll
55:35
never understand Heim if I lived to be forty, and that probably isn't gonna
55:37
happen. Enjoying my lasts. But then he goes to watch Homer smash on
55:40
beers at Mos and we get them the moment I discussed earlier with what's the
55:44
Matter, which doesn't really make any sense, but I appreciated it. Homer
55:47
then brings Lisa a DVD to try and mate do and apologize, and there's
55:52
a BBC doco in cooperation with a canal plus I believe so, although he
55:55
puts the French pronunciation on it loosen and it's about the nineteen eighty five Soucing
56:00
Crowd tragedy. Twenty years later, they're still going on. They still fired
56:04
and get the Virgin Mary stature coming to life and bet everybody else as well
56:07
in pure disgust. It's basically where Lisa realizes, oh shit, you know
56:10
I've done the wrong thing. Meanwhile, Bart brings Marge back to life in
56:13
the game as best as he could, because she's still got It's kind of
56:16
like a is it minotaur? We got legs like a horse. Central Centaur
56:21
Centaur. Yes, this would be a pop culturesque store in marble Coode Minuteaur.
56:24
Did you ever go there? I certainly did. I spent a great
56:27
deal of money there because they had insane markup, but also a very very
56:31
good store. I always have to go down the escalator to get there.
56:35
During a New World there was like there were like three different locations. Was
56:37
there really? Oh? Actually, I'll tell you what I remember. The
56:39
first day I discovered it. Yeah, it was back in like the late
56:44
eighty How amazing did we discover a store and you're like, this is everything
56:46
I've ever wanted. Yeah, because I mean I was. It was really
56:49
just a comic book store to begin with. It was a little one in
56:52
some in arcade in Burke Street, yep. And I don't know how I
56:57
ended up there. I mean I might have just been walking past and saw
56:59
us and said to a comics I'm still there to sixty four Little Colin Street.
57:04
Okay, yeah, yeah, it's sill, right because I think they're
57:05
in like a third location. Okay, yeah, because I think oh no,
57:08
no, no, no, that's their fourth wow. Yeah, because
57:13
I wondered they got the markup. Yeah. But oh god. I remember
57:15
the first time winning this was like maybe eighty five or so, and I
57:17
was pretty into comic books at this stage, and it's like, oh my
57:21
god. You know, it was just great. It was like, yeah,
57:23
all you sell is comics before online shopping. Yeah oh yeah, yeah,
57:28
I mean and sort of pre you know, nerd culture taking over the
57:31
world. It's like, oh, this is a special store for special people.
57:36
And then I guess, you know, it started getting bigger and bigger,
57:38
and it moved to a different location. I think, gone, no,
57:42
no, yeah, moved to it was initially on Burke Straight and then
57:46
it moved to Elizabeth Street. It was one before Elizabeth Street. Yeah,
57:52
anyway, whatever it is, yeah, yeah, but anyway kick our store
57:54
at the time, the upshot is fantastic store. Loved it, loved it,
57:58
loved it. Yeah. Yeah. The thing is, now, now
58:00
that I've worked at a store like that, being pop culture and I've seen
58:04
how much shit actually costs, I'm like, I am paying that much for
58:07
it? Absolutely, CD. Are you here to forgive me? No?
58:14
Oh, but to get that DVD, I had to become a PBO subscriber.
58:17
No, I'm paying for crap like American Masters. Dad, I can't
58:23
forgive you because there's nothing to forgive BO. You are right to kick me
58:29
out of that game. Soccer was making me insane, just as it did
58:32
the continents of Europe and South America. Those places are pretty terrible. So
58:37
from now on, I'll play soccer for the same reason I study chemistry for
58:40
fun. Then the mob arrived to slave art and taking his experience points,
58:46
and he threatens to eat their houses in real life. If he does my
58:49
miscases, don't give a shit, it'll be are worth it. She stabs
58:52
her in the face, and I was like, this is kind of harsh.
58:53
Yeah, And like I said, I live in the loft, so
58:55
it won't matter. And they beating the definite these own arms. It just
58:59
reminded me of Python. Oh yes, getting his arms cut off and everything
59:01
like that, and they dance with his entrails. Now, there was in
59:05
the crowd Paddy and some were a dragon. I'm not sure whether you saw
59:07
them in the background of a shop or whether it's a deleted scene or something,
59:10
because it's odd that you would design that the only song from behind so
59:15
Patty and some of it, it's like it's with it. You would go
59:16
throughout much effort to design that unless there was like a scene with them.
59:20
So maybe there was a deleted scene somewhere with Marge with Patty and somewhere as
59:22
a dragon. Quite possibly. Yeah, yeah, you're right, Why I
59:24
go to all that effort and expense. Yeah. Marge then says that you
59:29
know, all these people down one by one, don't you worry, but
59:30
says, yeah, whatever, I going to go play outside. I do
59:34
think this episode would have been better if it ended with Marge joining the family
59:37
at the end, because it was nice sceneing home and playing with Ronaldo and
59:39
the kids playing soccer out in the backyard, but Marge is just kicking most
59:43
had like a soccer ball in the game. I think Marge joined the film
59:45
would have been a better and I think so I would have been more in
59:49
keeping with them. What we like from the Simpsons, Yeah, which is
59:52
family. Yes, But overall, on yet another enjoyble episode, He's eighteen
59:57
not bad at all, not bad at all. Yes, I appreciated the
59:59
fact that that didn't go full gameer nerd. Indeed, look, it did
1:00:01
give us too much such m mel but you know which like three seconds still
1:00:06
too much? It's I agree, still too much. What do we learn
1:00:10
bomb, What do you learn from the episode of the Davis that canal plus
1:00:15
is indeed the name you can trust it is Indeed, I learned that googling
1:00:17
yourself has two meanings. Aha. From forward, your name will be all
1:00:22
right. It is time for the Guy Davis New Name Championship. Here on
1:00:27
the four Fingered Discant Network, you can't leaderboard stands at this in first position
1:00:31
we have Philip J. Hawkins on twenty points, Kyle Mile doing clever Kyle
1:00:36
in second position on sixteen points, and Luke McKay. He started again on
1:00:39
twelve points in third position. Take it away, Okay, one point goes
1:00:44
too. Now I'm gonna ask you to do a little visualization here, because
1:00:49
this is not just wordplay but also visual play. They for podcasting. That
1:00:54
is correct, So bracis for a very long description. But the tide is
1:01:00
wow, mom, Oh yes, but it's capital W lowercase. Oh,
1:01:05
capital W, as gamers will know, that stands for what Dan do?
1:01:09
What a warcraft? Oh my god, it stands for it just meant wow,
1:01:15
I haven't gone a crandle a this wow mom? And whoever gave us
1:01:20
this also put the capital M lowercase, Oh, capital M. So it
1:01:24
looks nice. It does look cool, isn't it. Yeah, so it's
1:01:28
it's pretty good. Turn it upside down and you get is it just woe
1:01:30
one again? You get where this probably deserves more than one point. But
1:01:36
still, whoever's gonna take your point and be happy? And it's slick mackay.
1:01:39
He's under the game. Luke, you're already doing so well. You
1:01:43
know, here you go. But it's on thirteen points, so he's still
1:01:45
three points behind, three points behind cover Kyle. That's well, that was
1:01:51
clever. Luke, because that was pretty good. That was indeed three points
1:01:53
behind clever Kyle okay with thirteen Yeah, that makeeem clever, Luke, He's
1:01:58
very clever. Okay, two points four mom Line Gaming. Oh that is
1:02:02
David Mott. I like it, Momline Gaming, very very, very very
1:02:06
good. David Mott with under the two points that puts him now on six
1:02:08
points. What I'm say now approximately, Well, I don't know how long
1:02:13
this episode is going to be after Dano edits out all my waffling, but
1:02:16
about an hour ago we planted a seed mentioned lan what is a sample local
1:02:23
area networks? Wait a minute, got a googod it and three points goes
1:02:29
to Marge on the land and guy did not know who this was. I
1:02:34
did not know who this was, and it was Philip J. Hawkins.
1:02:39
What honestly, again reiterating listeners go on in blind the guy Davis new name
1:02:45
challenge is incorruptible. I'm not looking at whoever's giving us these titles. That's
1:02:51
a great title. It's a pretty good title. So Philip J. Hawkins
1:02:54
is now seven clear on top with five episodes to go. So I don't
1:03:00
know it still happened. You can still catch up to it. Just need
1:03:01
a couple of threes. But Philip J Hawks on twenty three, Kyle muldoone
1:03:05
sixteen, Luke McKay on thirteen. Remember you want to be part of the
1:03:07
Guy Davis New Name Championship. Just got to be a supporter of ours on
1:03:09
page your name when the leader board you entered the wild card draw for the
1:03:13
end of the season. But now it is time for some mail bag mail
1:03:16
bag bail. First question if from Andrew JP, what referee slash umpire controversy
1:03:24
has stuck with you? For me, it's the not six again call in
1:03:28
the twenty nineteen Nral Grand Final potentially cost my Camber Raiders a drought breaking premiership.
1:03:32
We don't remember that because I don't follow and they're up. But there
1:03:37
was one, the big one when you were younger growing up for football was
1:03:39
remember when the ball got smacked back in It was Collywood Culton and the ball
1:03:43
was clearly added bounds and the player punches it back over and the guy grabs
1:03:45
the kicks gold wins the Grand Final. It's like that ball is about three
1:03:49
feet over the boundary for AFL. I remember there was like it's always like
1:03:55
when it's a close game, it's always blamed the umpire, the umps.
1:03:59
It's like everything happened up to that point doesn't matter though. It's just that's
1:04:01
that's the reason they lost. You know what a big referee decision that can
1:04:05
you remember anything? You don't A very big sport guy the way, Not
1:04:09
really, No, I mean I actually I've got to say though, I
1:04:11
gained a new sort of respect for tennis umpires. I mentioned the list because
1:04:15
you watched the tennis show that way, you think also tennis, you know,
1:04:20
watch Breakpoint on Netflix? Good show. But you know, am I
1:04:24
saying the reason you're watching tennis more now you're saying to me off the edd
1:04:27
that you're watching the show more than you usually have is because you watched Breakpoint?
1:04:29
Do you think you think it's rotten often? And I think that's got
1:04:30
something to do with it, certainly, yes. But I am finding myself
1:04:33
enjoying the Australian Open very much, to the point where the lovely Luise and
1:04:36
I and family went up to the Open itself last Friday. I think,
1:04:44
begin me ruffling. It's my dog Jet just rubbing his face on the floor.
1:04:47
Will you calm down, your old boy tactile animal. He's really enjoying
1:04:53
allergies, and he's got a war on his head that's exployed. He's got
1:04:56
medication four, he's got skin allergies that he's on medication for. He's got
1:04:58
CT scans on his brain, humors your CT scans in his pancreas. He's
1:05:00
got arthritis injections. Holy moly, he's fallen apart the old boy. He
1:05:04
is the very definition of a good boy. We love jet But Yes explained
1:05:10
that the referees for the for the tennis, yeah, or umpires or whatever.
1:05:13
I wonder if they're referees or umpires, but it's like, oh,
1:05:15
yeah, you've got to sort of well literally have your eyes on the ball.
1:05:18
But I mean, because there's so much dispute about I'm pretty sure that
1:05:21
was in. I'm pretty sure that was out, and you know, you've
1:05:24
got ahold of video saying close call and then they'll sort of show where the
1:05:27
ball actually look like that's not a close call at all. So I don't
1:05:30
know, I mean, I don't recall any yeah, really egregious umpiring decisions
1:05:34
or referee decisions that you know, cost someone a victory or whatever. But
1:05:39
I know I first think, I've got a lot of respect for people who
1:05:41
are trying to keep the peace on the field or a court or whatever.
1:05:45
So yeah, shout out to referees and umpires. I've been watching the cricket
1:05:49
a lot lately. There's been a lot of test games on in Australia and
1:05:53
because you need you have had trouble sleeping and you need under put your sleep.
1:05:56
No, no, I love cricket. Ali, it's really good at
1:05:58
cricket actually, which is cool. But the thing is the umpires now they
1:06:02
make so many mistakes. I just don't understand what's the point because now they
1:06:04
just reviewed a decision as like the umpire was in correct reverse and I'm like,
1:06:08
then what's the fucking point, Like, you know, if we've got
1:06:11
the technology now to see whether it actually was out or not, then besides
1:06:15
tradition, what is the actual point of having an umpire. Let's just have
1:06:16
robot mPire. If you think it was out, okay, they have reviews
1:06:20
and you can get like three reviews and if you get it wrong, you
1:06:23
lose a review. That's right, you keep your reviews right, That's where
1:06:25
it works in cricket. But it's like if it's if we can work up
1:06:29
it actually was out, let's just do that. If you're going to have
1:06:30
a human, they have a human there. And just like gold umpires in
1:06:34
in AFL, like they would say, oh, we're reviewing to see what
1:06:36
it was touched on, and it's like, what's the point. Yeah,
1:06:40
just you know, don't have an infrared thing between the gold posts. Like,
1:06:43
yeah, that definitely went through. Anyway, enough about umpires. Thanks
1:06:47
Andrew J P. Sorry we didn't answer you a question. And Astley,
1:06:50
A lot of people refer to Brazilian Ronaldo as Fat Ronaldo or o g Ronaldo
1:06:54
due to the emergence of Portuguese superstar Christian Christiano Ronaldo Ronaldo. Yeah, what
1:07:00
is your opinion on the term og? Personally? I hate it. I
1:07:02
thought it was original great, which would be fine, but apparently it's original
1:07:06
Gangster. It is indeed, yes, because one of my favorite albums when
1:07:10
I was a young man was Og Original Gangster by iced T. But no
1:07:14
OG was a fucking red album. I mean I really loved it. Yeah,
1:07:18
and that was the first time I heard the term og. Okay,
1:07:21
and yeah, it's I love how it's sort of become part of the vernacular
1:07:26
in a lot of ways when you're should not referring to the Offspring's original prankster.
1:07:33
Actually, that's a line in the in one of the songs on Original
1:07:38
Gangs because he's making fun of Oprah or something. Then he's still doing an
1:07:42
Oprah boys saying he's not your everyday tape prankster. It's like, no,
1:07:45
I'm olg the original gangster. It's like, oh dope, his skinny little
1:07:50
white guy walking around going yeah, I'm the original gangster. I just remember,
1:07:55
like the Offspring when I was younger, just felt like they were just
1:07:57
these white guys trying to be like cool, like that original Presce song.
1:08:00
He is like, you know what spells like ship? Only like a little
1:08:03
eight year old way. You're like, yeah, pretty fly for a white
1:08:08
gum. Yeah, my friend's got a was it? My friend's got a
1:08:10
job? Note, but why didn't you get a job? It's only that
1:08:15
something will just go viral for a day and a couple of days ago.
1:08:19
I saw Harrison Ford trending like three days ago, and my heart stopped for
1:08:21
us. Oh yeah, I'm almost I'm amost kid. IM gonna wake up.
1:08:25
And Christal Walkan's going to be dead. It's like, oh man,
1:08:28
I mean you wake them sometimes, like what Raylely would have died what not.
1:08:31
But you know some of these people are getting older. It's like,
1:08:32
oh, you know, one day you're gonna wake up Michael Caine did at
1:08:35
ninety one. Fucking hell. Yeah. That's how I felt when Betty White
1:08:39
was gone. I was like, oh she nearly got to one hundred and
1:08:41
ninety nine. Damn Yeah. Anyway, yes, changing, oh yeah.
1:08:47
So many people putting up the clip for the Alien Anthem cover of Smooth Criminal.
1:08:53
Why I don't know, because it's like dumb. There was that guy
1:08:57
in the background. Oh now, yeah, there's the base who's like a
1:09:00
really heavy set who sort of likes like the lead singer from smash Mouth,
1:09:03
just one of those he looks like he's from Insane clam Possy Yeah yeah,
1:09:05
but he's just really getting into it, and they're all into it. It's
1:09:09
fantastic. And I remember back in the day I thinking, God, this
1:09:12
is just trashy sort of frat rock or something. It's it's actually a pretty
1:09:15
kick ass cover. It's a kick ass cover, you know it. It's
1:09:18
got it. I've got the monkey in there. The sort of a poke
1:09:21
fun at Michael Jackson's and bubbles and you've got a little kid doing all the
1:09:26
my in a pro wrestling ring, which is huge at the time. Yeah,
1:09:29
it was like, oh yeah, that's right, two thousand and one,
1:09:32
you know, September eleven, not would stand make the bad touches.
1:09:34
I believe Blood Hand Gang. Yeah, Oh my gosh, yeah lot.
1:09:41
I've said this so many times, but my theory still stands up. It's,
1:09:45
you know, the Bellock theory of like you take something worthless, you
1:09:46
bury it in the sand for a while, you dig it up and it's
1:09:48
like, now it's priceless. Yeah yeah, Blood Hand Gang and Italian Farmer
1:09:51
now the ship. My kids now love. Speaking of covers, their favorite
1:09:56
song at the moment is hey Bee beadj what a fuck and sing along that
1:10:00
it's now become a song at the crowd chance at the cricket So I can't
1:10:05
wait. You want to the Elliot's first cricket match next Friday, one day
1:10:09
Monday match Australia West Indies, And I can't wait for like eighty thousand people
1:10:12
singing Hey baby, that's gonna be very very good. Just a couple more
1:10:15
questions and we'll get out of here. Chris Clark, I know you aren't
1:10:18
big gamers, but is there any DA game you've played or seen that you
1:10:20
think really transcends being just a game for kids? For me, that game
1:10:24
is Portal two. I'll have to find a game for kids. That's a
1:10:28
good point. I mean what I from what I understand, Red Dead Redemption
1:10:30
is kind of interesting or GTA is like the game and GTA six have had
1:10:35
the trailer come out recently, and like that just seems to be the game.
1:10:38
I honestly call me crazy, Guys, I've never played GTA. I've
1:10:43
never played it. Oh yeah, that's right. Sorry, I was thinking
1:10:45
of like, for a second, I was thinking Grand Arisma, which is
1:10:47
a racing game. GTA is like the one man shoot hookers and stuff.
1:10:50
Correct now, fun fact, the guy who you apparently buy guns from,
1:10:55
like like the main store or something you buy guns from voice by Jim Cummings
1:11:00
for real, because Jim's like nephew. Once he's like, did I spy
1:11:02
a gun off you? And he's like, I don't think. Somebody's like
1:11:03
did you voice his character in GT? And he's like maybe, and he
1:11:06
did? I remember that. Oh boy, what is your favorite Andrew JP
1:11:13
question? That's from Andrew Swan? Also back up, what is your favorite
1:11:17
Andrew Swan question? This one? Well, I mean I did give Andrew
1:11:24
JP a shout out in the in calling for Malbourne submissions, so I think
1:11:29
he deserved it because he is our He's our main male bag man. Yeah,

1:11:49
up all night or at least way after you usually got a bed, games,
1:11:53
movie, TV series anything. It's just the modern binge watch now,
1:11:56
isn't it very much? So? Yeah, yeah, I think the last
1:11:58
one for me it was well, watch an entire series one go maybe a
1:12:02
Stranger Thing season four? Oh yeah, that doesn't sound about it, right.
1:12:05
Yeah, that's that's the kind of show that's like, oh, just
1:12:08
one more and then then you look at and go, oh my god,
1:12:10
this next episode is like two hours long. Yeah. I when I get
1:12:13
to the end, I was like, I watched this much. Most watched
1:12:15
the end. I wasn't like a huge family. I was like, it's
1:12:16
one of those shows where I'm like, I feel like I just have to
1:12:18
watch it. I always feel like it's one of those shows where it's like
1:12:21
I keep forgetting how much I do enjoy it. Like there's there's been such
1:12:26
long gaps between each season, and then you get there it's like that big
1:12:29
that last gap was too big. Yeah. Yeah, but it's like,
1:12:30
oh, I keep forgetting that this show. You know, it's oh,
1:12:33
we're eaties nostalgia and kids and stuff like that, and then you realize I
1:12:38
don't really go for the gusto. When it comes to the gore and the
1:12:40
violence, it's like, yeah, good, getting worse and worse, isn't
1:12:43
it, I mean like as in more violent. Oh yeah. I remember
1:12:45
watching season three and thinking, oh, this is gruesome. Yeah, the
1:12:48
season four is even the next level. Yeah. Brian Hughes who was the
1:12:51
who's been the worst celebrity guest star ever? And why is it Ronaldo?
1:12:56
That's not correct, Brian, Can I remind you that we had Andy Dick
1:13:00
a couple of weeks ago. Yes, that's true. It doesn't matter what
1:13:02
the fucker said. Him being on the show was just confusing at best.
1:13:06
Yeah, that's the best way to put it. Why why was he there?
1:13:12
Why was he there? So weird? Josh Hallie Hamilton says, obviously,
1:13:15
I know you guys follow football, but do you also follow normal football?
1:13:18
Soccer and doesn't have much of a presence in Australia. It's getting better,
1:13:21
doesn't have a huge presence. I feel when the World Cups are on,
1:13:26
it's huge. Everyone's talking about it, but it's one of those things
1:13:28
where it's like the hot it's not the hot thing at the time, but
1:13:30
it doesn't have really sort of like it's growing. If you follow it,
1:13:32
I'm sure you feel like it's growing, but it's nowhere near on the level
1:13:35
of Australian In Australia, it is gaining ground, yeah, I mean,
1:13:40
as we mentioned, the Matilla's certainly did a lot for it. Yeah,
1:13:43
but there is a team in Queen's Park Rangers. They have a similar uniform
1:13:47
to Geelong. They have like QBR light blue instead of dark blue. So
1:13:50
my uncle follows QPR. That's what we've got formed. For Christmas, we
1:13:53
got him a personalized QPR moreover in England our top and brought it back from
1:13:57
his Christmas present. But yeah, QPR, I guess I guess they're my
1:13:59
team. But anyway, thank you guys for all of your questions here on

1:14:03
been our review of March Gamer. The next season eighteen episode we shall be
1:14:06
reviewing here on the show will be The Boys of Bummer. Now. I
1:14:11
remember this episode when I rewatched it a couple of weeks ago, being quite
1:14:15
just me mean spirited for the sake of being mean spirited, which I'd never
1:14:17
like. You know, Bart ruins a sporting game and the town hates him
1:14:21
for it. It's a take on how we when someone's playing well, we
1:14:25
love them as soon as they make one mistake. It's like you're a West
1:14:27
person in the world, which we can probably relate to you in Australia because
1:14:29
we do love that sport. And we do. We build these athletes up
1:14:31
like their heroes, but the second I make a mistake, they're just the
1:14:33
West person ever. But anyway, the Boys bum will be the next season
1:14:36
eighteen episode. Don't forget we're going to be doing We've got plenty of coming
1:14:40
guests like Tom Debatoure, which is gonna be a really interesting chat, don't
1:14:42

1:14:45
your dad therapy ses. All right, guys, think again a free suport.
