  Speaker 2: Actually, there were numerous causes aside from the obvious schism
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: between abolitionists and anti abolitionists. Economic factors, both domestic and
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: international data significant.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just say slavery, Slaverty, it is sir.

• 0:22

• 0:45
  Speaker 6: Welcome to a very special episode of four Finger discount
• 0:47
  Speaker 6: We're doing a classic review today. We're going all the
• 0:50
  Speaker 6: way back to the end of season seven, not quite
• 0:52
  Speaker 6: the finale, but near the end of season seven, my
• 0:55
  Speaker 6: favorite season of the Simpsons of all time. It is
• 0:57
  Speaker 6: much pu about Nothing. One of my least favorite episodes
• 0:59
  Speaker 6: when I was kid, but I really enjoyed it this time.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: I'm Dan though, and I am gay. Yes, back again,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: your favorite podcaster talking about much of poolban nothing very
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: relevant in these times. He's got to do with elections,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: got to do with it against That's what I was thinking.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: I'm just thinking.
• 1:15
  Speaker 6: You know, Trump's just been put into this, paw. Don't
• 1:17
  Speaker 6: worry you guys, We're not be going into political tirade.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Here, Who's Trump?
• 1:20
  Speaker 6: We're keeping politics out of this. I just thought it
• 1:22
  Speaker 6: would be somewhat relevant to review this episode now because
• 1:24
  Speaker 6: it's amazing to think that this episode aired in nineteen
• 1:27
  Speaker 6: ninety six, right, and the jokes land just as hard
• 1:31
  Speaker 6: now as they did in nineteen ninety six. It's actually
• 1:34
  Speaker 6: quite amazing.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Yes, one one feels I'm sorry to keep bringing up
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: this particular episode, but one gets the feeling the writers
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: of E Pluribus Wigham could take a leaf out of
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: this particular episode. The writing of this particular episode, stay evergreen.
• 1:48
  Speaker 6: Don't bring in actual named politicians that's going to date
• 1:51
  Speaker 6: the episode.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: So we can talk about political situations, talk about social
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: situation that you know is always going to stick around.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: That people always racist, are always going to stick around.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: People are always going to get fired up by hot
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: button topics. They're going to be herded like sheep or
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: like cattle, and politicians are going to take advance. Yeah.
• 2:08
  Speaker 6: Now, I brought up that I didn't like this one
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: much when I was a kid, Right. I think it's
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: just mainly because I didn't quite understand what was going
• 2:14
  Speaker 6: on and.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: A pooh, it just that's why. I guess that's just it.
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: I just didn't understand what was going on. I didn't
• 2:19
  Speaker 6: understand politics or what much. And I still don't even
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: understand politics all that much now right, particularly American politics.
• 2:24
  Speaker 6: But as a child, I'm watching this going there's no
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: jokes here. It's just like a poo's just being picked on.
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: I don't understand quite why, because when you're a kid,
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: the idea of us in them that doesn't enter the equation.
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: You know, it's not to you. You get older and
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: you start watching the news and you get yeah.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Not that kind of structural bigotary everything like that. I'd
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: have an immigrant I thought, yeah, just what's wrong with it?
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Why can't I pooh? Stay? But what did he do wrong?
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: Do you understand it?
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: If you're a kid and you don't like someone, you
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: just don't like someone. You don't have any underlying reason
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: for it, just like they stole my lunchables or something. Yeah.
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: Well, I actually had my first dealings with racism with Alliot,
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: not that that he's racist, but the idea of black
• 3:01
  Speaker 6: and white the other day because he's been watching Australia
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: versus Pakistan all right, playing cricket, and he just assumed
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: because we had remember and stayed recently the eleventh eleventh
• 3:10
  Speaker 6: right here in Australia, we have remember remembering our war veterans.
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: And he just assumed, I don't understand why where it
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: came from. But he goes, did white people win? All
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: black people win? And I went, that's not what the
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: war was, buddy, I said, we're all people. Because if
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: you be watching the cricket, he just assumed white Australians
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: playing black Pakistan. I think that's where it came into it.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: That's where, yeah, you get the feeling, Oh okay, there's
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: what all conflict is like. Yeah, well, good for you
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: for sending him straight. And I mean, yeah, I imagine
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: that's a really interesting embracing part of being a parent
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: because you sort of think about these things and the hypothetical.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Well when yeah, the kid actually says it and you know,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: in a wholly innocent way.
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: That's it. It's innocent. You can't tell him off, you
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: can't grow he doesn't mean anything by it, no, no, no.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: And if I imagine if you did growl at him, yeah,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: that's going to set a bad precedent. Yeah you're going
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: to have a bad time.
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you're going to have a bad time. But I
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: had a really good time watching this episode because as
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: an adult, I think this episode is absolutely fantastic as
• 4:04
  Speaker 6: a I'm gonna say as a Simpsons episode, it's not
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: a great Simpsons episode because I don't think kids can
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: really enjoy this one all that much. This one is
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: definitely for the adults at home, I think.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: So. I mean, it's yeah, you're right, it's not appealing
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: to kids. But at the same time, I don't think
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: it is sidelining or anything like that. I think it's boring. No, no,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: it's it's not boring. But the problem I think it's
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: got some gags in it. You're right, they're not your
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: traditional kind of boom gags. They require a little bit thought.
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: They're a little not trimopoline or anything like that. It's
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: not trimapoline. It's not that kind of notol. But the
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: thing is, I feel I've gone back to when I
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: was a kid watching this episode for the first time,
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: and why it didn't really resonate with me is that
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: I guess it kind of left me feeling not dumb,
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: but confused, going, well, this is I guess this is
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: It must be funny, but I'm not getting it. So
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: it's kind of like when you go to a trivia
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: night and it's too hard, you think, well, this isn't fun.
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: I guess this episode wasn't fun because I didn't get it.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: You know, well, how'd you feel about what? How did
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: you feel watching him there?
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: I thought it was fantastic. As I said, I just
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: could not believe how relatable it was still in twenty
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: twenty four as it was in nine ninety six. Just
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: Moe's let's get the favorite moments. Okay, my favorite Moe's
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: use of the word immigrants, slavey, you know what it is, mimigans.
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: And then the payoff being that he is one. That's
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: that's his way of covering up for hiding it.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: I love that everyone sort of starts to catch his
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: disease in a way then made bad disease Ben Lee La.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Then I mean, it was a weird looking kid.
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: It's a weird looking He always looked like the guy,
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: the guy who was originally hired to play the voice
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: of Tigger in the Christopher Robin Love action film, who
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: Jim ended up replacing. He's from the Boat that rocked.
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: He's in the Boat that rock Uh maybe in the
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: it crowd. He's one of those English actors who like
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: almost broke into Hollywood and was in a few movies,
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: but he never really hit that sort of.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Like top level start it crowd cut. I think it's
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: it crowd. Chris so Downri dow that's the one, Yeah,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Chris down. It looks very similar to each other they do.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Chris O'Dowd is kind of like the is the better
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: looking version of Bentley. Yeah, well, due respect to Ben Lee. Yeah,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: he's married to Ione Sky, the girl from Say Anything.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Oh damn well on Ben Lee, he's probably like what
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: this podcast, but it was even shots at he was.
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: Like the Triple J Golden Boy Bentley very much growing. Yeah,
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: in the eighties and nineties one eighty sorry in the
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: nineties four.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: He started young. He started young. Why was I talking
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: about that? Catch my Disease? Oh yes, every mode Springfield
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: is just mangling. The English language reminds me of reminds
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: you of Django unchained a little bit, because Christoph Walter's
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: playing this German bounty hunter and he's got a much
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: better vocabulary even though it's a native German speaker than
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: any of the native English speakers.
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: I love that part film that our man let A
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: Malten doesn't like all that much. Jango unchained, that's true.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: We can start talking about the movie guide.
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's alive now and it's already top two. Let's
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: get to number one people for the film interviews. In
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: Australia it is number two. It is top twenty for
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: TV and film overall. In Britain it's in top thirty
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: and in the US it's now top fifty. So let's
• 7:24
  Speaker 6: boost it up those rankings. The movie guy with Malton
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: and Davis.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: And we got one very nice review from someone called
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: mclovin in the.
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: Yes, yeah, thank you for your review. If you're out
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: there listening right now, thank you for that review. And
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: let It appreciates it as well.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: He certainly does. Are we doing more favorite moments? Do
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: you want?
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah, let's do it. But I want to pose this
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: question in case I forget sure, is Mo racist or
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: is Mo an immigrant who is posing as a racist
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: American to hide.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: The fact that he's an immigrant?
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: Is that the layer of joke there?
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Or is there something else? Is her self loathing? Yeah? Yeah?
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: What's as many layers to this character?
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: There are, indeed, on on the level on.
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: The top, it just seems like he's just being a
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: racist because it seems to fit his character. Well, I mean,
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: he's bitter and he's just you know, but you've.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Got the message at the end of the episode. I mean,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: I think it's great how you've got the resolution, but
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: then you have sort of had this little code at
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: the end, which is really doing a South Park and
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: spelling out the message of the episode, which is basically
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: any Western country or any America Australia like it's built
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: on immigrants.
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's a great salad bowl of all these
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: different ingredients that you know, retain their own individual flavor
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: but also contribute to the whole. It's great.
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: But what else were your favorite moments, because I've got
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: in mine. I really liked the music at the start.
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: It was the Simpsons theme, but it had it was
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: a different spin. I don't think I've actually seen this
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: version of the theme used all that much, but it's
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: such a really set the tone of how they wanted
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: you to feel watching this. It's like Flanners is freaking out.
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: This is he thinks this massive threat in this bear right,
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: but the music is playing this bubbly. It's like acknowledging. No,
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: everything's fine, everything's all good. This bear is not here
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: to harm anybody. But as people, Aslander says, just freaks
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: out for no reason.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: I guess it's not.
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: For no reasons. It's a bear. It's a bear, yes,
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: but the bears not attacking him.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: No, but you do want to be worried about that?
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Or no? Having said that, are you aware of the
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: bear color rhyme?
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: Color rhyme?
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Yes? No, if you well, I imagine this American black
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: or brown or whatever. I have heard it. It's brown,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: lay down if it's black, fight back if it's white.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Good night? Really yea in trouble Yeah. Mcaulay Colton taught us.
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: That if you ever see it, well, if you ever
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: see it, if you ever come face to face of
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: a polar bear, you deserve it because it means you've
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: gone out of your way to jump into the enclosure
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: to zoo or you're going to an tired to go
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: and come face. Look, it takes a lot of effort
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: to become face to face of a polar bear right
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: just roam in the wild. No.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: I mean they probably have them at zoos.
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: That's what I'm saying. Either jump into an enclosure, or
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: you're going to an and you've gone down the wrong way.
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: But the Simpsons mickey out of that when they go
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: if it's if it's brown, something down, if it's black,
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: take it back. It's something. Homer says that with bananas.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Perhaps maybe I'm too sure, and I thought, you know,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: I thought you were about to use the toilet code
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: if it's yellow leaded melon.
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: I'll franky ate that quote. Why you tell me what
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: other moments you liked about this episode?
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: This had bits and pieces that have shown up in
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: just popular culture in general, or have been used by
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: various podcasters or vloggers or whatever. I mean, of course
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: we've got I forgot that this was think of the children,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: and this was the one that was really used a lot.
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: Well, I think, just in this era. I've got that
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: in my notes as well. I'm like, wow, I've got
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: how often they use Helen love Joy because she doesn't
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: get used anywhere near as often anymore. When somebody please
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: think of the children, whenever there was that crisis mob mentality,
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: she was always there saying it, Yeah.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Please think of the good, somebody please think of the children.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: I love that.
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: I'll make you Roswell.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Something else that I've heard a lot, particularly on political
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: podcast I found by the way, I found the quote
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: from Homer po Looser episode we were reviewed in recent times.
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: Is it true that we have to bring our own water?
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: We got a little rule back home. If it's brown,
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: trick it down. If it's black, send it back, but continue.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: One that I enjoyed was poo giving a very studied
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: and knowledgeable response to the reasons of the Civil War.
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: You might as well.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Just say slavery.
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: That was honestly, I've gotten my notes. That takes me
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: back to when we used to do our forkliff license
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: or our dogging license as we call it as it's
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: called in Australia. In u k. It's something very different.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: It sure is.
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: Yes, I've got both licenses here in Australia.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Good for you.
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: But when you have to drive the overhead crane or whatever,
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: you have to get the license and you go there
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: and basically the teacher there his job is to make
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: sure everyone passes. So as long as you are competent
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: enough to answer the basics, you're going to pass it
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: and I'll be there going. He's like just fucking yes
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: or no. I'm like yes, He's like, good, you don't
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: have to prove anything to me, buddy.

  Speaker 1: I've got the wake up of that. But yeah, when
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: we did the course, for it to actually obtain it,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: you're basically given the ass Oh yes, I think that
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: basically holds your hand.
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: The teachers hold your hand through the whole thing because
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: they need you to pass because if they if you fail,
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: it reflects poorly on the teacher. It was the same
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: for high school. We had a German teacher who basically
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: would just give you the answers because the school needed
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: to for the language classes. The school got special funding
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: for it. But if if the students don't pass at
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: a certain level, they cut the funding. So the teachers
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: basically make sure that you pass so the school keeps
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: getting the funding.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: The whole system. Man, it's a little shunking. I loved
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Homer at the end making his speech. If I could
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: say a few words, it would be a better public speaking.
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: I know you'd love this.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: It's great I've got to use that all the time.
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: No one quotes anywhere near enough. It's such a good line.
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: It feels kind of odd that Homer says it.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: It's a very dad joke.
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah no, still, but I feel like it's even too
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: sophisticated for Homer to say. Who would be the perfect
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: character for that? Do you think be a better public speaker?
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: Doctor Hibbert?
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: Maybe, Yeah, it feels right for Homer.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: It feels like he he heard it somewhere. He probably
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: heard it from doctor Hibbert, or he was at some
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: events like, oh this is boring, and you know, then
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: someone got it. Well, if I can say a few words, well,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: i'd be a bit of public speaker. I think it's home.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: I would think that would just be the goal.
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: I think the great bit about that too, is it
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: gets backed up with only Bart laughing at it.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it was hilarious.
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: It was the perfect That is very much how every
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: groomsman's speech starts. Right, some stupid lame joke like that.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Well, anyone who quote unquote teaches public speaking or will
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: offer advice. I was like, break the eyes with a joke.
• 14:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah, how many.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Ted talks have you watched? It's like someone comes out
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: and does a bit of a self deprecating gag or whatever.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: It's get to the fireworks.
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: What is the damn marine?
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: One last thing that I enjoyed the Simpsons family history
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: with I guess it's home as great grandfather grand.
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: I didn't like this and I'll get to what we
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: get to the review but continue.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, not much about it I enjoyed, but the whole
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: this is America. Someday one day, who knows when you
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: and I will go there later that day.
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: That was good.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: That was good. But also yeah, all the stuff about
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: living in the head of the Statue of Liberty. Can
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: live without it. But later that day, very funny. Next
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: question you there eating the beast?
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: All right? Trivia time.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: My first question for you is what other names of

  Speaker 1: Who is who is?
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: I was getting to a review of matchhapoo about nothing? So,
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: as I mentioned earlier. Originally added ninety six May fifth,
• 20:48
  Speaker 6: nineteen ninety six production code three F two oh to zero?
• 20:52
  Speaker 6: Should say? Are you Do you ever say oh when
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: you mean zero? I always say four three two of
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: my number, but then I got say the rest of it.
• 20:59
  Speaker 6: But then the end of my number has an seven,
• 21:02
  Speaker 6: but I say zero seven. It's like I start with
• 21:04
  Speaker 6: an O but then it ends with zero seven. I
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: mean we always say we always say four, don't we o?
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Four? Three? Eight?
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: It was about to give my whole number? That's right.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: I will start with the O, but then I do
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: have one another I in the middle, but I will
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: say zero.
• 21:18
  Speaker 6: It's weird, isn't it. We always say oh, four three
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: because we're so used to saying oh four, like it's
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: a it's a brand.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: But then we zero is a fun word to say,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: it is.
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: But why don't we say zero four three two four
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: three two? It's just it rolls off the tongue, doesn't it.
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: Everyone is like, we've got five of the numbers, six
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: the numbers. We can get the rest to get Daniel's
• 21:36
  Speaker 6: phone number.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: There's only so many get working on that combination. And
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: then Frankel dan o'die Heart's contend.
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: Written by David Cohen, directed by Susie Dieter Cash Gag.
• 21:47
  Speaker 6: There was no chipboard game at the cash gig. Was
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: Marge Bart, Lisa and Maggie mounted heads or the heads
• 21:52
  Speaker 6: amounted on the wall and a big game hunter comes in.
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: I believe Homer was the skin on the floor right, yes,
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: the rug a right was Maggie? I do not recall
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: some I think that she was. Yeah, maybe it was
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: definitely on the wall as well. Yeah, not good, not
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: good at all. The episode kicks off with the Bear,
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: as we were saying earlier, with the nice upbeat music
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: and really setting the tone of Planners is freaking out.
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: I think the music made it funnier because Flanners is
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: freaking out when like the Bears just not really doing
• 22:19
  Speaker 6: anything and they made the bear look like a dog
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: or sitting there as panting and whatnot. But yeah, just
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: the whole I don't have time for the secret knock.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Yes, and much like the later Morgetlanda's I can't work
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: than I'll either. But the whole bear thing reminded me
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: of something I've read recently as one that I found
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: quite interesting and also quite saddening. You know, you've got
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: beers in the US that are, you know, ripping into
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: rubbish bins and all that kind.
• 22:46
  Speaker 6: Of stuff in suburbia. Yeah, but yeah, and someone.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Was asking, someone asked, like a forest rangers, like, why
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: don't you make the bins harder to get into so
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: bears can't get into it? And the guy said, because
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: the ben diagram are bear intelligence and human stupidity. Is
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: the overlap is a lot more than you might think.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: It's like, oh, no, are you smarter than a beer?
• 23:10
  Speaker 6: But why wouldn't they want to go into the bins?
• 23:12
  Speaker 6: Because there's stuff in there they shouldn't be eating?
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Or I think so? Yeah, And also yeah, they just
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: your bin apart and put rubbish all over the place.
• 23:20
  Speaker 6: Yeah that's who was that.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm messy enough.
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: I remember recently, I was emptying the bin and the
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: bag out, and the bag like ripped and rub the phone.
• 23:29
  Speaker 6: I was like, oh, there's being juice everywhere.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Is there anything?
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: There's many things worst, but bing juice terrific.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Look, of course there are worse things in life,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: but there's a good chance you're going to avoid things
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: like binge juice.
• 23:41
  Speaker 6: It's been sitting in there, just seeping.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Up marinate in film fermenting. Yeah, put the pin on
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: this podcast. I'm not talking anymore.
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: I've got a story for you about bingejuice now, but
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: I don't hear about keep it yourself saying more.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Just panicking.
• 24:00
  Speaker 6: Can't get the doornub pretty much like a horror movie.
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: It always frustrates me. It's like, just open the damn doors,
• 24:06
  Speaker 6: like I can't. I'm panicking. Sometimes you're in a rush,
• 24:10
  Speaker 6: the basics. I'm trying to turn the car on. Why
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: can't I turn this? It's like, stop, take a breath. Humans, man,
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: we're not smarter than a bear.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: We're basically animals.
• 24:21
  Speaker 6: Yeah, we have basically animals indeed, But the bears just
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: sitting there panting, having a good time. Well, these guys
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: are freaking out. To go somewhere else. As we do
• 24:29
  Speaker 6: that he's wandered into the Simpsons house. We get the
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: news report Camp Brockman in the sky, No honey pie,
• 24:34
  Speaker 6: Camp Brockman. I feel like the new episodes now don't
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: have this anywhere near enough where Brockman was always on site.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Yes, always happened to look disappointed that we didn't get
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: the arney, but always happened to especially when there's bears
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: in search of food or perhaps employment, perhaps employment.
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: How good is that?
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: It's like story in my life? Ken Brockman knows me
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: I will work for I'm consent, drop pants for food,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: search for food or possibly employment.
• 25:04
  Speaker 6: But he says that everyone just stay in their homes
• 25:07
  Speaker 6: and Homo seas on the news that it's destroyed. The
• 25:09
  Speaker 6: Impsign family let a box call it's destroyed. The Yes,
• 25:12
  Speaker 6: and he says, fine, if I have to be trapped
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: to my he said, they're gonna find as long as
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: I have beer in the house. No beer, but I'm
• 25:17
  Speaker 6: gonna be tated to my house and after great and
• 25:19
  Speaker 6: get some beer.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Do you have any baking soda in your fridge?
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: Baking so done in the fridge?
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: No, you know, like he's got that apparently. You know,
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: you get a box of baking zone, you open it
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: up and it sort of absorbs all the sense. Really, Yeah, okay,
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that's an old wives sale or
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: actual scientific fact.
• 25:33
  Speaker 6: Why would you want to absorb the sense? Well, you
• 25:36
  Speaker 6: know what your fridge stinking? I guess yeah, the dish
• 25:38
  Speaker 6: is your dish washing, your dishwasher.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: No dish washer.
• 25:41
  Speaker 6: Stinks after it. Like, if we've had dishes in there
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: for a while, what's this clean? It's fine, but we'd
• 25:45
  Speaker 6: have been sitting there for meny.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Laugh, because Lou's got the the dishwasher and we'll stuck
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: it up. I like to wash things by hand. I
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: find it quite therapeutic and quite calming.
• 25:57
  Speaker 6: I've got some things that have to be washed by Yeah, certainly,
• 26:01
  Speaker 6: it depends what mood I'm in. I don't mind it.
• 26:03
  Speaker 6: But when you got kids, man, like three meals a day,
• 26:07
  Speaker 6: four people, like, there's just so much shit sometimes, you know.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: So much laundry, so many dishes.
• 26:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean two loads of washing yesterday I loaded
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: the dish washing though somehow my bedtime your clothes clearly,
• 26:20
  Speaker 6: But yeah, I agree.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: It is.
• 26:23
  Speaker 6: It is therapeutic doing the dishes.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know, Maybe it's I thought it was just
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: a Davors thing because I'm always saying to my Mum's like,
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: let me do the disappoin Yeah, no, I do it better.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: She does and she enjoys it.
• 26:38
  Speaker 6: I don't like washing frying pants and things like that
• 26:42
  Speaker 6: have had the food sort of stuck in them for
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: a while, because we got learn so because when you
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: when you're washing, right, we're doing the dishes. I wash
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: the basic stuff first, like cups. I was washing glasses
• 26:52
  Speaker 6: and cups first because I prefer that's going to be
• 26:54
  Speaker 6: going in my mouth like that to have the cleanest water.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: Stuff that's transparent as well. Yeah, yeah, so I always do.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Don't you happy? We could talk about the Simpsons? Wouldn't
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: you rather get these household tips I always talk about. Sorry,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: I always clean the dishes first, like the glasses first.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: Then I do plates or whatever, but I always I
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: rinse them under the tap first to get any excess
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: stuff off, and then just basically wash the basic the
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: rest of the stuff off in the dishwater because I
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: prefer to wash it as clean dishwater as possible, because
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: when you start doing the frying pants I say those
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: the last night because the water goes instant brown. It
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: certainly does.
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and I'm thinking around wash it down exactly, and
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: I'm washing it going is this actually cleaning? Because it's
• 27:29
  Speaker 6: just washing it in its own filth? It's almost it's weird,
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: right it is.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: You're reminded me of a YouTube channel I discovered the
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: other day called dad, How Do I No? It's sounding
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: like four million subscribers, and it's basically just this middle
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: aged American dude who teaches you how to I don't
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: know what's the things you're doing? A tap like a sinker.
• 27:48
  Speaker 6: Or over the water starts spread now and or whatever. Yeah,
• 27:51
  Speaker 6: put on a door handle or whatever. Yeah.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: He just seems like a really mellow Guy's like, I mean,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: look like your actual dad, who was like Jesus, I
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: have no son. But he's like, okay, how you do this?
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: And you know you remove that and then you the
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: dad everyone wanted. Yeah, he's he's like vice president should
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: have been Tim Watz, but instead we've got JD. Vance
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: on Musco. I think, isn't it that No, he's the
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: actual president? Should I say? The other day? I'm pretty
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: sure it did? You know you know how Alon sort
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: of does his jumping jacks. It's the EXE and it's
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: the X. I mean, it's clever, it's good branding.
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he's so weird. He can say that he's a
• 28:27
  Speaker 6: weird cat, isn't he.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: He's a weird cat sponsor our show's daddy Elon. He's
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: promo from forming in this cat.
• 28:37
  Speaker 6: He's weird cat.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Weird cat. But Bridge, yeah.
• 28:40
  Speaker 6: Very very rich indeed. So he's going to see the
• 28:43
  Speaker 6: Simpons house home, is going to get some beer. He
• 28:45
  Speaker 6: tries to drop gracefully through the windshields and that does
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: not work as as planned. I really liked if you
• 28:51
  Speaker 6: look in the background, because it's season seven, they got
• 28:55
  Speaker 6: the bush house across the street. George was doesn't live
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: there anymore. Obviously he moved out the end of the episode,
• 28:59
  Speaker 6: but that continuity stayed with the show at least until
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: that point. Nice, Yeah, it's not there anymore. But then
• 29:06
  Speaker 6: the police arrive. They actually shoot Barney first, or get shot.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Then, and he's like, oh this that's not bad.
• 29:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and then shoots the bear and we've got one
• 29:15
  Speaker 6: count book and loo one count of being a bear
• 29:17
  Speaker 6: and one count of being accessory to being a bear.
• 29:20
  Speaker 6: I did like it when the Forest Service takes the
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: bear away and then Mose takes away Barney and the
• 29:25
  Speaker 6: whole we have to drink toilet water. Was that just
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: meant to be a gag on people just freaking out
• 29:30
  Speaker 6: for the second.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like yeah, in the early dayest the pandemic, where
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: everyone's like, I've got to have sixteen sixteen packs.
• 29:38
  Speaker 6: Of toilet roll past. I remember going to the Aldi
• 29:42
  Speaker 6: near what do we call that? Service man?
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: Was his name?
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: Guy right, who works across the road at the Woolworths.
• 29:49
  Speaker 6: I remember going, it's sorry cos yeah, the cos not
• 29:52
  Speaker 6: wiol worse at Cole's and all the past was gone.
• 29:55
  Speaker 6: Everyone's like freaking out one per person. I go to
• 29:57
  Speaker 6: Aldi and it's just always past that just across the road.
• 30:00
  Speaker 6: I'm looking around, going how many of these can they buy?
• 30:03
  Speaker 6: And the guy's like I don't care. I'm like you
• 30:06
  Speaker 6: need a few.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: You do realize the world's in there, right?
• 30:10
  Speaker 6: I was just like you just can put out and
• 30:12
  Speaker 6: he's just like I was just like, there's no one
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: here and past everywhere. I felt like a king. But
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: it was just it was a weird time where you
• 30:20
  Speaker 6: felt like you were cheating asistant because you brought four
• 30:22
  Speaker 6: packs of pasta. What the hell happened? We all lost
• 30:26
  Speaker 6: our collect to take tickets and line up for the supermarket.
• 30:30
  Speaker 6: So strange, Oh, so strange, so strange. Trying to explain
• 30:33
  Speaker 6: it to the kids when they're old is going to
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: be a weird one. But anyway, so, yeah, I probably
• 30:36
  Speaker 6: have their own pandemic by the Homers. Yeah. Probably Homer's
• 30:39
  Speaker 6: sick of all these bear attacks. Like a damn bed jamberoo,
• 30:42
  Speaker 6: randy country bed jamb It just sounds like fun. A
• 30:45
  Speaker 6: country bear jambarroo. The Flanta says, you know what, I
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: think this might be the first time we've actually ever
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: had a bean my whole time of living in Springfield. Well,
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: if you were bears scaring your children and taking your salmon,
• 30:56
  Speaker 6: that's your that's your incentive.
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: We're here, we're queer. We don't want any more bears.
• 31:05
  Speaker 6: We don't.
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: Hey, Homer, that's a pretty catchy chant.
• 31:09
  Speaker 6: Where'd you learn it?
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: Oh? I heard it the mustache bride to hear every.
• 31:13
  Speaker 6: Year again, that's a joke that eight year old Brendan
• 31:16
  Speaker 6: no idea what he's talking about. Even though we're queer,
• 31:18
  Speaker 6: we're here, that's it sounds funny, but I don't get
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: what the joke is, you know, so I guess there's
• 31:22
  Speaker 6: moments throughout the episode for a kid too. I guess
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: it sounds funny. I know it seems like it's funny,
• 31:28
  Speaker 6: but properly understanding it, he just wasn't quite there. But
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: they have an unruly moub or whatever at the door,
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: but they have an appointment because Skinner caught ahead and
• 31:37
  Speaker 6: Quimby says that you know, what are we mean to do?
• 31:41
  Speaker 6: And they're like, it's smarter than the average bait.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: You took my pick in the ba.
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: I never get the great bay off of Quimby with
• 31:46
  Speaker 6: the pigure what Quimby's a legend, right? I love Quimby,
• 31:52
  Speaker 6: but we haven't actually touched on just how sweet this
• 31:54
  Speaker 6: overall story is. This is an Appooh centric story. He's
• 31:58
  Speaker 6: only had Homer and the where he goes to get
• 32:01
  Speaker 6: his job back at the Quick Mask Indian and whatnot.
• 32:03
  Speaker 6: I think we've had any Appoo based stories between that
• 32:06
  Speaker 6: and this one.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: I don't recall.
• 32:08
  Speaker 6: You might have had a storylines. I've had storylines where
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: he's been kind of involved in episodes based on him
• 32:13
  Speaker 6: and I think that what are you gonna do an a
• 32:16
  Speaker 6: Pooh episode? This is about as spot on as.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: You can get, right, I think so? Yeah, I mean
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: I think you've got heart.
• 32:22
  Speaker 6: It's got it's witty, it's it's topical even now like
• 32:26
  Speaker 6: it's it's it's from that perspective. It's actually a great episode.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: It's heartfelt, but it's not sappy in any way.
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, not a bear in sight. The bear patrol must
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: be working like a germ.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: That specious reasoning, Dad, Thank you, honey. By your logic,
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: I could claim that this rock keeps tigers away.
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: How does it work?
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: It doesn't work. It's just a stupid rock. But I
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: don't see any tigers around here, do you, Lisa.
• 32:54
  Speaker 6: I want to fight your rock, Lisa.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: I want to buy your rock. He doesn't want to
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: take the money, and it's like eh, and he takes
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: it like this guy.
• 33:07
  Speaker 6: But then he realizes he thinks he's getting a paycheck. Well,
• 33:09
  Speaker 6: he's getting his paycheck, but he's been taxed five dollars
• 33:11
  Speaker 6: the Bear patrol tax. Let the Bears pay the bad tax,
• 33:13
  Speaker 6: I pay the Homer tax. Give me whatever. So the
• 33:18
  Speaker 6: mob is now back at Quimby's again, down with taxes.
• 33:21
  Speaker 6: They don't want to pay ating taxes. They also want
• 33:22
  Speaker 6: the bear patrol. There's no pleasing this peak, no, no,
• 33:25
  Speaker 6: So of course for real leadership.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: So what does he do.
• 33:27
  Speaker 6: He blames the im against well, that's what a real
• 33:31
  Speaker 6: little does against. I knew it was them against dem immigrants.
• 33:36
  Speaker 6: Is so good. But then we get somebody pleasing the
• 33:38
  Speaker 6: children and he proposes proposition twenty four.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: Is twenty twenty four? Twenty four definitely twenty four.
• 33:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but then did you see the newspaper, So it says,
• 33:49
  Speaker 6: I don't know, this is the first one. So it
• 33:50
  Speaker 6: says quib proposition twenty four. And at the end Quimby
• 33:54
  Speaker 6: proposes proposition twenty four at ballet. It's got ballot in
• 33:57
  Speaker 6: the first one at ballet, and there in the subheading.
• 33:59
  Speaker 6: So now at the school and UDA's being teased, and
• 34:01
  Speaker 6: this is very much what happens, you know, it's just
• 34:05
  Speaker 6: mob mentality takes over and you start picking on people,
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: and you go, you were best friends yesterday and now
• 34:10
  Speaker 6: you've just been completely brainwashed and now.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: You're picking on It happened.
• 34:14
  Speaker 6: As you said, I'm not going to get political, but
• 34:16
  Speaker 6: this was felt very much post nine to eleven, how
• 34:19
  Speaker 6: any Muslim would have felt. Sure anyway, it's just your Muslim,
• 34:24
  Speaker 6: you're one of them. It's just it's crazy. But UDA's
• 34:26
  Speaker 6: getting teased here, and as even Skinner is joining in
• 34:29
  Speaker 6: on it and really tries to stand up for him,
• 34:31
  Speaker 6: And I want to pick on someone their own size,
• 34:33
  Speaker 6: So I'm planning to seed here that that Willy's obviously immigrant.
• 34:36
  Speaker 6: Of course, then right dinner and Least is annoyed by
• 34:39
  Speaker 6: the whole thing. She can't believe that Homer's buying into
• 34:41
  Speaker 6: it all. And Homer's like, what's the ideology of kids?
• 34:43
  Speaker 6: So many immigrants in the school's neck kids like, but
• 34:45
  Speaker 6: I've lost the wilder. But then this is while I
• 34:49
  Speaker 6: was touched on earlier Grandpa talking about the Old Country
• 34:52
  Speaker 6: and how the Simpsons family actually came from immigrants, like
• 34:54
  Speaker 6: Grandpa immigrated to Springfield. It didn't pay off in any way,
• 34:59
  Speaker 6: it felt. So we did Family Guy recently for launch Pod.
• 35:04
  Speaker 6: It felt very much like a cutaway gag like that
• 35:08
  Speaker 6: it didn't add to the story because you know, I
• 35:09
  Speaker 6: didn't add to the story because at the end of
• 35:11
  Speaker 6: it that is go and by the by the time
• 35:13
  Speaker 6: we filled the heavy garage and we's got to move
• 35:15
  Speaker 6: out in the end, and that's it. Like, if the
• 35:17
  Speaker 6: joke is I really know where we're going with this,
• 35:20
  Speaker 6: then don't include it.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: I guess. So yeah, I mean really, there was really
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: only one good gag in that whole thing, which was
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: the later that day thing that I mentioned.
• 35:28
  Speaker 6: Because if you're going to bring up the fact that
• 35:30
  Speaker 6: the Simpsons are immigrants themselves as.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: A plot point, really roll with it.
• 35:35
  Speaker 6: It's got to. It's going to become part of the story.
• 35:37
  Speaker 6: It doesn't make sense why home it would still be,
• 35:39
  Speaker 6: I guess, because wouldn't I guess they'd be legal immigrants
• 35:43
  Speaker 6: by that point, not illegal.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: Well it's it's are they trying to get illegal immigrants
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: or just immigrants? Just illegal immigrants? Yeah, yeah, but they're
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: threading through the theme of the shows that everybody came
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: from somewhere else. I still have just thought that it
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: seemed it didn't it didn't add anything to this particular store,
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: and the gags weren't necessarily that funny, so kind of
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: flopped on both counts. So Grandpa wasn't born in America. Yeah,
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: Well that's the other thing. I mean, they don't. I
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: guess it's kind of a gig that they don't say
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: where they come from.
• 36:12
  Speaker 6: Just as later on they're trying to when that was
• 36:15
  Speaker 6: still a thing show where Springfield is or isn't, and
• 36:18
  Speaker 6: they're doing all the hiding and obscuring, and all that
• 36:21
  Speaker 6: hiding and the obscuring and all that just somes either
• 36:23
  Speaker 6: Grandpa who is such a pro war veteran, pro America,
• 36:28
  Speaker 6: very patriotic, and then turns out he's sort even born
• 36:30
  Speaker 6: in America.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: Then, as I said, you know a lot of people
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: who yeah, quote unquote come from there, extremely patriotic. Just
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: look at Arnold. I was pedatic matterlive.
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: You know what merely aggravates me is them immigrants. They
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: want all the benefits of living in Springfield, but they
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: ain't even bothered to learn themselves the language.
• 36:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, those are exactly my centimony.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, what.
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: Job you shut a barn?

• 37:29
  Speaker 6: Simpsons are now at the Quickie Mark, well besides Homer Marge,
• 37:32
  Speaker 6: but Unleastam Maggie. They're walking around their first customers in
• 37:35
  Speaker 6: a week. No one wants to go to the Quickie
• 37:36
  Speaker 6: Mart anymore because a Pooh is a legal immigrant and
• 37:38
  Speaker 6: he explains here, Hey, he left India after graduating. And
• 37:41
  Speaker 6: I wanted to touch on this earlier. I thought i'd
• 37:43
  Speaker 6: say this now. I like the idea that Mandula debut here.
• 37:50
  Speaker 6: Even though I mean, well, I suppose the age differentiations,
• 37:54
  Speaker 6: it didn't feel that much when they were actually married.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: No, but here is like a child well not old bride,
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: but child bride to be is like, oh boy.
• 38:03
  Speaker 6: But it makes that that episode when he marries Manjuela.
• 38:06
  Speaker 6: For the hardcore Simpsons fans, that's a really good payoff.
• 38:09
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, it's just because she was just a joke here,
• 38:12
  Speaker 6: but then she becomes an actual character.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: It's an easter Egg.
• 38:14
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it is an Yeah, an Issa Egg. It's like,
• 38:18
  Speaker 6: we watched TV last night and someone said newsletter. I
• 38:21
  Speaker 6: was like, did ever say it?
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: Like that?
• 38:24
  Speaker 6: Newsletter? It's like newsletters some words.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: It's fun to occasionally put the emphasis on the wrong
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: on the newsletter.
• 38:36
  Speaker 6: It's newspaper. So now he explains how he studied under
• 38:40
  Speaker 6: Professor Frink, the Great Professor Frink talks about the computers
• 38:43
  Speaker 6: and how I didn't live through this era you did.
• 38:47
  Speaker 6: What was the mentality of computers was the idea of
• 38:49
  Speaker 6: they're going to be massive or they're going to change
• 38:52
  Speaker 6: the world. What was it?
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: It happened like a lot of things gradually and then
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: very suddenly. Yeah. I mean, we were studying computer at
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: school when I was young, but it was all It
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: was kind of like going to art class or something
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: like that. Today you're gonna learn how.
• 39:07
  Speaker 6: To protect class.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah. You'd go in for like half an hour and
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: code for whatever and blah blah blah blah. Oh look
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: I made a squiggly line or something like that. As
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: I was in secondary school about to leave schools like, well,
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: computers seemed to be becoming more of a thing. Maybe
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: I should learn about it. No, I think I'll just
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: go get drunk instead. You know, schools out forever. Baby,
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: I was full. I should have learned about computers. But yeah,
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: I mean you could see, oh, these are becoming more
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: of a thing. Apple was sort of we had Apple Macintosh.
• 39:40
  Speaker 6: So I went to Northseiall Primary School here, a really
• 39:42
  Speaker 6: poor school, and I remember we had like the computer lab,
• 39:46
  Speaker 6: but it would have been maybe like Tank computers in
• 39:48
  Speaker 6: there and it or had Apple macintoshes in there. Macintosh
• 39:52
  Speaker 6: just seemed to dominate. Oh god, world at that point
• 39:55
  Speaker 6: in came to computers. It's just my idea of when
• 39:57
  Speaker 6: I was a kid off a computer was a Macintosh,
• 39:58
  Speaker 6: but it's called It wasn't called a computer.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: It was called a Macintosh.
• 40:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, they had that branding and it was
• 40:03
  Speaker 6: just over like you play the games and it was
• 40:04
  Speaker 6: the floppy discs you put it in and it was
• 40:06
  Speaker 6: like green. Oh yeah, yeah, time to be alive. I'm
• 40:09
  Speaker 6: just trying to look up here. We had like these
• 40:11
  Speaker 6: electric typewriter things at school. We all had them. They
• 40:15
  Speaker 6: weren't but they weren't typewriters. There was sort of this
• 40:16
  Speaker 6: weird what were.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: Called well was it like half a laptop yes, kind
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: of thing.
• 40:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah, what were they called me? This is like early nineties.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: They were electronic typewriters. That's well, that's certainly what I
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: had then when I was leaving school and first years
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: of UNI. It was kind of like what almost almost
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: kind of like.
• 40:37
  Speaker 6: What ET used, you know, like a speaking like speaking,
• 40:40
  Speaker 6: it's kind of like that, but more fancier, more fancyer.
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: No, no, I know, I know because Margaret Mary had
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: one and I pinched it because it had a little, tiny,
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: little electronic screen. Was like, oh, I can actually see
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: the words I'm typing. Alpha Smart that might have been
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: That wasn't it. But there was a brand called Brother Brother. Yeah,
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: that's this is the Alpha Smarts here. So it's kind
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: of like that, I get what you mean. That wasn't it.
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: It's sort of like a really big, unwieldy BlackBerry.
• 41:08
  Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, but we it was so you got to
• 41:11
  Speaker 6: play on that.
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: It was like, oh my god, like it's it was cool.
• 41:13
  Speaker 6: It was really cool.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah. When I was working in Forte at the
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: street paper down here had a bunch of like old
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: desktop computers, but there was one quote unquote laptop except
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: if you put it in your lap, you just you know,
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: your legs will be paralyzed because it was so heavy.
• 41:27
  Speaker 6: It was like when when Chandler buys a laptop on
• 41:31
  Speaker 6: Friends and it's like it's got like five hundred megabats
• 41:33
  Speaker 6: of ramp his massive box of a thing. Yeah, but yeah,
• 41:38
  Speaker 6: it's it's makes you feel oh when you look back
• 41:40
  Speaker 6: and go, and that was cutting.
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 41:44
  Speaker 6: When Apple did the the screens, you could see inside.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: All the oh those Imax Imax Yeah, well yeah, we
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: had one of the Adam at school.
• 41:53
  Speaker 6: It is like, look at the computer. They got the
• 41:55
  Speaker 6: Imaxe inside, and.
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: It's weird because you sometimes you get the pink one.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: You're like, oh, yeah, we have one in a place
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: I was working. We thought it's pretty wild.
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: It took a very short amount of time for that
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: to become terribly naff and uncool, that kind of design,
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: because I think you had the iMac and around the
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: same time you had that new version of the Volkswagon.
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: Do you remember that from the late nineties, and it
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: was you know, I had the traditional sort of Volkswagen shape,
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: but it was a little bit more streamlined and it
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: came in funky colors and all that. Like the iMac.
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: It was a very late nineties kind of design, and
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: I think maybe from the mid two thousand and were
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: oh god, that sucks. Even probably in the nineties we
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: were doing that because I think there's a scene at
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: five Club where Brad Pittnea when Norton's I don't come
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: across one of those volkswagons, just laugh at it and
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: kick the shit out of it with well, beat the
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: shit out of it with baseball bats. Now we're looking
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: at it because everything's so bland and bloody.
• 42:52
  Speaker 6: It's just the same.
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean, you go the soup, you go
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: to the supermarket carpack, you gat the sheep market carpats.
• 42:57
  Speaker 6: It's gray white or black.
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: You can't find you can all the kinds of gray
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: white and black, and they all look the same. And
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: every time I'll look over the car park and go, well,
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: this world used to be colorful. And then occasionally you'll
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: see like a bright green carryinger.
• 43:12
  Speaker 6: This is Wanka'd say, And this don't get the fancy
• 43:15
  Speaker 6: cond You're like this dickhead, but a hero is showing off.
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: Oh dear, But.
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: I predict that within one hundred years computers will be
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: twice as powerful, ten thousand times larger and so expensive
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: that only the five richest kings of Europe will own them.
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: Who did to be used for dating?
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: Well, theoretically, yes, Black the computer matches would be so
• 43:38
  Speaker 4: perfect as to eliminate the thrill of romantic conquests more
• 43:42
  Speaker 4: herven Way.
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: Nine glorious years later, I completed my PhD thesis two
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: hundred thousand precisely ordered punch Guards, comprising the world's very
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: first tick tactor program. Only the top human players could
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: be dis.
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: Hey, what's this one for?
• 43:58
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: Maybe I have undiagnosed OCD or something like that. I
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: wanted to kill.
• 44:04
  Speaker 6: Him amount of time it goes into that maybe he's
• 44:08
  Speaker 6: so angry. It's like when I built this lego, right,
• 44:11
  Speaker 6: this this thing, and Elliott just goes, what is this one?
• 44:13
  Speaker 6: He pulled it and one of the parts fell off,
• 44:14
  Speaker 6: and I was like, I don't quite remember where this
• 44:17
  Speaker 6: one goes. Now, I know I can putting here and
• 44:19
  Speaker 6: it looks fine, but that's not where it was.
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it will never be the right way.
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: We might we might be ill people. There might be
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: something wrong with.
• 44:33
  Speaker 6: Oh, there's definitely something wrong with us. I mean everyone
• 44:35
  Speaker 6: has something wrong with him.
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: I've got well yeah, true, But I mean I've got Basic,
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: a lovely cat. He's got claws because he's a cat.
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: He will occasionally crawl me. And if I'm like, I'm
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: wearing a jumper that I don't want a threat to
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: come loose on it, and you're gonna your claws are
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: kind of sharp, and you won't let me cut them
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: because you're You're as Eurotic Eurotic as your owner. I'm like,
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: I've got to pick you up and very g and
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: throw you away because you're up slowly, and throw because
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: then i can't wear this jump anymore. If I've got
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: one thread loose on it? What's wrong with this?
• 45:09
  Speaker 6: Could you know?
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: When we now return you to much appoo about nothing
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: getting in progress?
• 45:13
  Speaker 6: But Pooh mentions here how he stayed because he wanted
• 45:16
  Speaker 6: to pay off his student loan first, and then he's
• 45:18
  Speaker 6: made friends and he's like, well, I do want to
• 45:19
  Speaker 6: go anywhere. I love the people that I'm living with
• 45:21
  Speaker 6: or my friends and family, not family but friends.
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: A good citizen, yeah, a solid dude.
• 45:26
  Speaker 6: He stayed because he owed a debt to the country.
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: Someone you'd someone you'd want as a neighbor, a friend,
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: a member of your.
• 45:32
  Speaker 6: Community, doing the job that no one else wanted to
• 45:34
  Speaker 6: do as well running the quick you man't true? Yeah,
• 45:37
  Speaker 6: and as much says, the only crime committed was violating
• 45:40
  Speaker 6: US law. I'm going to vote no, much as she's voting.
• 45:43
  Speaker 6: Know at least is happy about this. Then we have
• 45:45
  Speaker 6: Kurney arriving with his fake ID for Charles Norwood was
• 45:49
  Speaker 6: a B and three of the finest cheapest cigars, and
• 45:52
  Speaker 6: Pooh realizes the fake ID, but he says, look, he'll
• 45:54
  Speaker 6: he just wants to know where the idea is. And
• 45:56
  Speaker 6: if you come with the idea where the ID came from,
• 45:58
  Speaker 6: he'll overlook. The ice cream sandwich is concealed in his armpits.
• 46:01
  Speaker 6: So he buys the fortunate documents from fat Tony. Indeed,
• 46:07
  Speaker 6: sure not gratitude andy, courtesy, you're an American now, so
• 46:11
  Speaker 6: now the quaking mark and he's dacked it all out
• 46:13
  Speaker 6: like a true American. Very uncle, Samy, She's a very
• 46:16
  Speaker 6: stereotypical American, very fourth of July American store.
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: I love that he can't keep up the vasava too
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: long though, just particularly he's looking at Yes, what we
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: all thought was the loving forever marriage of Tom and Nicole. Yeah,
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: how one did that finish. I think that wrapped up
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: sometime in the early two thousand.
• 46:36
  Speaker 6: The two thousand, wasn't it, because it would have been
• 46:37
  Speaker 6: what two thousand and five before the two five when
• 46:39
  Speaker 6: he was with Katie. Yes, I think what the world
• 46:43
  Speaker 6: was two thousand and five, and I think.
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: They split up post Eyes Wide Shut, which came out
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety nine.
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: Who needs the infinite compassion of Gurnesia when I've got
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: Tom Cruise and Nicole Kitman stating at me from Entertainment
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: Weekly with that.
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: Dead eyes look at me.
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: I betrayed my Indian heritage, Sir? What would my parents
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: think of me?
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: Now? Make us prown son. Never forget who you are.
• 47:13
  Speaker 5: Don't make the same mistake I did.
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: Ooh oh, forgive me mother, father?
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: I fail you.
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: Well?
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: Am I kidding? I am no citizen.
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: This passport is a cheap forgery, A cheap two thousand
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: dollars forgery. Brought shame to my parents, to my home London,
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: to myself.
• 47:41
  Speaker 5: Don't forget an issue.
• 47:43
  Speaker 6: So how many brings a poo home? The whole Simpsons
• 47:45
  Speaker 6: family now behind him. So unfortunately there are three blow
• 47:49
  Speaker 6: the voting age, and Homer's not registered to vote either,
• 47:51
  Speaker 6: but suggests that maybe she's get married to somebody, So
• 47:53
  Speaker 6: Homer calls up someone. She says no, because she's already
• 47:55
  Speaker 6: got various.
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: Last names married an American ninety day fiance style.
• 47:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah, she's only going to marry one more time, possibly
• 48:03
  Speaker 6: for money. Yes, then, Grandma Suggess, you should live in
• 48:05
  Speaker 6: a balloon. Grandpa adds nothing to this episode. No, because
• 48:09
  Speaker 6: that doesn't go anywhere either. So Lista points out that
• 48:12
  Speaker 6: as a grandfather clause and this he has been declared.
• 48:14
  Speaker 6: So Apoo can go for his citizenship as long as
• 48:17
  Speaker 6: he passes the test before Tuesday. That's when the vote's
• 48:19
  Speaker 6: going to be and then he has two hundred years
• 48:22
  Speaker 6: of history to get through. They can't be that many.
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: This is the kind of thing.
• 48:27
  Speaker 6: Is Nicholas going to be going for her citizenship soon?
• 48:29
  Speaker 6: She has to get certain jobs in the government field.
• 48:33
  Speaker 6: She's looking at these questions. I'm like, I never know
• 48:35
  Speaker 6: the answers to these. Isn't it funny we expect these
• 48:37
  Speaker 6: people to know these sit about the country. Most of
• 48:39
  Speaker 6: the people who live here don't know the answers to
• 48:41
  Speaker 6: these questions. It's just that he can become the tutor. Yeah,
• 48:44
  Speaker 6: and everyone's like, oh, that's not a good idea.
• 48:46
  Speaker 5: Please identify this object.
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: It appears to be the flag which disappeared from the
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: public library last year.
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: Correct.
• 48:54
  Speaker 5: Now we all know the thirteen stripes over good luck,
• 48:57
  Speaker 5: But why does the American flag here precisely for seven stars?
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: Because this particular flag is ridiculously out of date. The
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: library must have purchased it during the brief period in
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: nineteen twelve after New Mexico became a state, but before
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: Arizona did partial credit.
• 49:14
  Speaker 6: So he points out the town here, where the town is,
• 49:17
  Speaker 6: And this was just in the nineties. This still felt
• 49:19
  Speaker 6: like a thing of where the Simpsons actually from. No
• 49:22
  Speaker 6: one gives a shit anymore. But I think in the
• 49:23
  Speaker 6: Simpsons movie, Flanders points out the various states surrounding where
• 49:28
  Speaker 6: they are. So I think you can actually work out
• 49:31
  Speaker 6: which Springfield it is. But there's I think Springfield's the
• 49:33
  Speaker 6: most common town name in the US, which is why
• 49:35
  Speaker 6: he picked up that scans. Yeah, yeah, so the now
• 49:39
  Speaker 6: it's tide of the paper again. This is police are
• 49:40
  Speaker 6: preparing for their deportation, and it's a sign through the
• 49:44
  Speaker 6: thing science foot and the way Chief. There's also the
• 49:48
  Speaker 6: subheading you've been mentioning it earlier about the bear that's
• 49:50
  Speaker 6: right with the bombs, the bombs squad or something like that. Yeah,
• 49:54
  Speaker 6: so now the studying, it's not going very well at all.
• 49:56
  Speaker 6: Poo's just not letting anything from home. Home is giving
• 49:58
  Speaker 6: you the wrong answers. It tested in six hours. So
• 50:01
  Speaker 6: Homy gives him his ninth grade history book, says go
• 50:03
  Speaker 6: learn this while go to bed and falls asleep straight away,
• 50:05
  Speaker 6: wakes up realized he's forgotten everything. Perfect, Thank goodness, let's go.
• 50:09
  Speaker 6: So walk pasted all the protesters and in there we've
• 50:11
  Speaker 6: got I think Luigi, doctor nick Mo's in there with
• 50:13
  Speaker 6: his mustache under Maybe see Captain might have been in there,
• 50:16
  Speaker 6: Not too sure.
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I forgotten exactly how many, but yeah, there were
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: certainly some familiar faces in there.
• 50:21
  Speaker 6: Yeah. And the police are preparing to round everybody. First
• 50:25
  Speaker 6: round up the tired, then the poor, then the hundred
• 50:28
  Speaker 6: up masses were getting to breath free. That a Pooh
• 50:33
  Speaker 6: gives his long witted answer about the Civil War who caused,
• 50:35
  Speaker 6: as he said, a.
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: Very student answer, and he's right on ye, just say slavery,
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: just say slavery.
• 50:39
  Speaker 6: Just I thought the reading of that guy was great.
• 50:41
  Speaker 6: The delivery.
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: Just say slavery. Shut up, just say slavery.
• 50:47
  Speaker 6: So he says, slavery it is, and then which way
• 50:50
  Speaker 6: to the welfare office.
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to work.
• 50:54
  Speaker 6: So now it's throwing a party for a Pooh at
• 50:56
  Speaker 6: the Simpson's house. He says, I'm an Indian American. Lisa says,
• 50:59
  Speaker 6: all immigrants, you know, except for the Native Americans, the
• 51:02
  Speaker 6: Indian Americans like me. No. Then Homer's speech so a
• 51:06
  Speaker 6: few words, I'd be better public speaker, very funny. Basically,
• 51:10
  Speaker 6: Homer's point here is that we all take the country
• 51:13
  Speaker 6: for granted, except for the people who come here and
• 51:14
  Speaker 6: realize just how great it is. And I say, it's
• 51:16
  Speaker 6: so many people who ran and rave for hawshit Australia is,
• 51:18
  Speaker 6: and like, go somewhere else there and you realize how
• 51:21
  Speaker 6: lucky you are.
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: You must be fine at parties.
• 51:27
  Speaker 6: I knew I was getting old when I Nick would
• 51:29
  Speaker 6: go to events and there's younger people there saying it extreme,
• 51:33
  Speaker 6: and I'm just like, you have no idea how good
• 51:36
  Speaker 6: you've got it.
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: None at all?
• 51:39
  Speaker 6: Kids, Oh my goodness, gracious me. But I did also
• 51:43
  Speaker 6: love the cut straight to yes I'm twenty four, resounding
• 51:48
  Speaker 6: ninety five percent, and some points that democracy doesn't work,
• 51:51
  Speaker 6: and a pooh I liked this year democracy doesn't work,
• 51:54
  Speaker 6: and then a pooh immigrants saying, don't knock the country
• 51:56
  Speaker 6: that I love. It's just from both sides, you know
• 51:58
  Speaker 6: what I mean. Yeah, I guess the jury duty throws
• 52:00
  Speaker 6: it in the bin. I've never done it. I've been
• 52:02
  Speaker 6: asked twice, never done it.
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: I think I've been asked once and have not done it.
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: I've been asked twice, I've never done it. Yeah, I
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: kind of regret it now. Maybe I never get asked again.
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: But I'm like, I'd be perfectly fine with that.
• 52:13
  Speaker 6: But I think fun unless you get a really fucked
• 52:16
  Speaker 6: up case obviously.
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, But Nichola's like us, I'm just afraid I didn't
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: have like during number two the Clean Eatwood movie.
• 52:24
  Speaker 6: Well, Nicholas says to me, you know, you realize if
• 52:26
  Speaker 6: I was going to do it. The second told you, guys,
• 52:27
  Speaker 6: if you do it, you might be aut a commission
• 52:29
  Speaker 6: for like three four weeks, depending on the case. And
• 52:30
  Speaker 6: I was like, ah, yeah, I don't want to be
• 52:32
  Speaker 6: doing this.
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: I can't podcast solo. I don't know which buttons.
• 52:38
  Speaker 6: He's just sitting here talking to the microphone. Nothing turned
• 52:41
  Speaker 6: on yet, It'll work itself out, can you hear me?
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: Now?
• 52:49
  Speaker 6: But things have worked out for the people they care about.
• 52:51
  Speaker 6: Cut too really on a ship, lows he in greats
• 52:53
  Speaker 6: and he's off on his way home. That is our review.
• 52:55
  Speaker 6: I've much chapoo about nothing. Fantastic episode. Really enjoyed a.
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: Good episode, very relevant in these times. Yes, yes, we
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: are occasionally getting upset about immigrants when we really shouldn't.
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: We're all, you know, passengers on the on one big
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: boat called the SS Earth. What do we learn, Bomber?
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: What did you learn about the episode? Oh?
• 53:16
  Speaker 6: What did you learn from this episode? Not about?
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: What do you learn from this episode? The more can't
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: work the knob? Yes?
• 53:21
  Speaker 6: Apparently so I learned that there's ever a problem, it's demimigans.
• 53:31
  Speaker 6: I asked the patrons for some questions. Got a couple here.
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: Oh okay.
• 53:34
  Speaker 6: James Daniel says, what are the best three episodes to
• 53:35
  Speaker 6: show someone that never watched The Simpsons as a kid
• 53:37
  Speaker 6: and doesn't get the hype. I've started off with Homer's Enemy,
• 53:40
  Speaker 6: but it's so referential to other episodes that I'm thinking
• 53:42
  Speaker 6: that was a bad idea.
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: I think so as well.
• 53:45
  Speaker 6: One of the appeals widespread. You're gonna have like a
• 53:48
  Speaker 6: mixture episode to You're gonna have one that has emotional
• 53:51
  Speaker 6: I think, like, uh, Maggie Makes three has to do
• 53:53
  Speaker 6: it for her at the end because you can't watch
• 53:55
  Speaker 6: that and not cry. One that's just full of gags.
• 53:59
  Speaker 6: Gag gag, gag gag gag. Are you throwing like a
• 54:02
  Speaker 6: large rest of the monorac? And I think maybe yeah?
• 54:05
  Speaker 6: And what would another one be? I think have a
• 54:08
  Speaker 6: story that's incorporates the town.
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: Because twenty two short films about Springfield, that one.
• 54:16
  Speaker 6: That one doesn't give a good reflection of what the
• 54:17
  Speaker 6: show is though, but it does give you good understanding
• 54:19
  Speaker 6: of what the characters are. Twisty short films could work.
• 54:23
  Speaker 6: Maybe something like a Bart's comet where they all sort
• 54:25
  Speaker 6: of like just on the involves Radio Bart, but involves
• 54:28
  Speaker 6: the whole town doing something together. Anyway, It's all right,
• 54:31
  Speaker 6: Andrew JP final and here, what's your favorite Fish out
• 54:33
  Speaker 6: of Water sitcom? He used to love Perfect Strangers as
• 54:36
  Speaker 6: a kid.
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: I knew he was going to say Perfect Strangers. It's
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: like the ultimate Fish out of Water city. Okay, I
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: don't think I ever watched it Perfect Strangers. No, no,
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: BALKI do you know the same? No idea? What it is?
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: Perfect Strangers? Perfect Strangers? Well, I think it was basically

  Speaker 1: created because the actor Bronzon Pinchot, who was Serge in
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: the in the Beverly Hill Cop where he's like, oh,
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: this guy can do accidents and people seen to like that.
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: How about we have him as a wacky foreigner who
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: comes from it's like a pro borat comes from like
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: some weird European nation, comes to New York City. He's
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: got a distant cousin of the seasons, yeah, moves him
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: with his with his cousin is a bit straight laced,
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: and you know, this guy doesn't really know anything about
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: the West and it's customed. So he's also always you know,

  Speaker 6: I reckon if someone is playing funny buggers to get
• 55:49
  Speaker 6: me to clickbait on the vote on the article.
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: Why would anyone on the internet do that. I have
• 55:54

• 55:56
  Speaker 6: He's not fat. I mean he's not He's not thin thin,
