  It is Hurricane that Nettie, I am Dando and I am Guy enjoying a
• 0:43
  Jerry Jerry camp full of squishy That would be delicious. It's also delicious our
• 0:49
  guest that we have on today's show. Here's the man who chose this episode
• 0:52
  episode specifically because he has a really really amazing piece of Simizons memorabilia. In
• 0:56
  fact, he has probably, I say it's the best Simpson's collection ever.
• 0:59
  He called it the worst. It's mister Michael waving. How you're doing good?
• 1:02
  Sir? Oh, I'm good? Thanks a lot for having me.
• 1:03
  Yeah, so you chose Hurricane Neddie to art to review on the show here
• 1:07
  today, tell us why why I specifically did you choose this episode? What
• 1:11
  do you have in your possession that all our Simptons fans are gonna be very
• 1:14
  jealous of. Well. Apart from being just an absolute banger of an episode
• 1:18
  in its own right, the centerpiece of my collection is I've actually got two
• 1:25
  animation cells from the Flanders mental breakdown scene as well as a like a storyboard
• 1:33
  page from that as well. It's like you can see all the little pencil
• 1:36
  eraser marks and stage directions and stuff, and those are both signed by David
• 1:42
  Silverman. So one of the directors, which yeah, David Silman is just
• 1:45
  like one of He's like he's one of the bosses of the Simptons man like,
• 1:48
  he's like he's been there from the beginning. I think he like didn't
• 1:49
  he like draw like the opening intro? Yeah, something to do with the
• 1:53
  opening intro. Basically, he's been there from the beginning of the Favorites.
• 1:57
  He's the biggest of whigs. Yeah, yeah, the og of ogs.
• 2:02
  So how did you how did you come into possession with that? Was that
• 2:05
  just like at an auction? Did you bite off another fan? How did
• 2:07
  that happen? Um? There was a there was a gallery in Armadale here
• 2:12
  called silver k They do a lot about used to see the adulely late at
• 2:16
  night in that old guy that runs the place. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 2:19
  Colin, he was great. Yeah, he's the one who helps me
• 2:21
  with it. Oh yeah, he seems like the nicest guy. Yeah,
• 2:24
  he really knows his stuff. And they often do like comic book stuff,
• 2:29
  Disney art, like classic Looney Tunes, all sorts of animation, and they've
• 2:34
  had a few Simpsons exhibitions there. So I went along to one once and
• 2:38
  yeah, I picked up a couple of bits. Then what did it cost
• 2:39
  you? If you don't want us ask him? The cell on its own
• 2:44
  was eight hundred, and the selling storyboard was I think fourteen hundred. So
• 2:50
  okay, so you dropped wow, we Well, one of them was actually
• 2:54
  a gift. I bought the gift. Yeah, I bought the cell store
• 3:00
  board combo myself and my partner at the time actually brought me the cell separately.
• 3:07
  So I'm assuming she then file for bankruptcy. And that's where no one
• 3:10
  gonna get I mean, I was just gonna say that, because you've got
• 3:15
  a lovely lady in your life right now, the amount of Simpsons stuff that
• 3:19
  you got in your place, you're very lucky that she puts up with it.
• 3:21
  Obviously she's a Simpsons fan. As well. But I mean, I've
• 3:23
  got my lovely wife Nicoli here, and guy's got his lovely Louise. I
• 3:25
  am starting to do a bit of a clean out because obviously got two small
• 3:29
  kids running around as well. But I'd love to have what you have in
• 3:31
  your house, but I just don't think my wife would allow it. It's
• 3:37
  tough. Cool. Thankfully the collection was here first, so I think that's
• 3:42
  part of it. But no, it helps that she's a massive fan herself.
• 3:45
  Okay, cool? Or did she become one after meeting you? Like?
• 3:47
  Was she a fan and then she had becomes a hat to become a
• 3:50
  super fan after meeting you just seeped in the minute you walk in the house.
• 3:53
  It's like I got no choice. No, there was definitely. Yeah.
• 3:59
  She gets all the quotes, she quotes back. She's better than me
• 4:00
  at remembering some of this stuff, which is which is great. This is
• 4:03
  the difference. Nicola. Tonight, we'll get we're getting dinner ready and she's
• 4:06
  like, which one are you doing tonight? I said Hurricane Nettie, where
• 4:10
  Flanner's house falls down during the hurricane, and she's like, yeah, I
• 4:13
  think I've seen that one. I was like, well, man, my
• 4:15
  wife's barely sending into Simpton's episodes, but gotta love it. I don't even
• 4:19
  tell Lou it's like you're doing the sentsence tonight. Yeah, but yes,
• 4:24
  your your Simpsons collection is one of the most famous collections in the world.
• 4:27
  Now it's been all over the news, but we will get into that in
• 4:30
  a little bit more detail later on in the episode. But here today to
• 4:31
  talk about, as you said, Hurricane Nettie, what do you love so
• 4:34
  much about this episode? Michael? I know you've got the selling things like
• 4:38
  that, so you've got that sort of connection with it. But what particularly
• 4:40
  do you love about this episode? Because I think it gives a really great
• 4:43
  insight into Flanders that we never saw beforehand, except maybe in home alas Sland
• 4:46
  is where he sort of let's slip that he can let loose at times.
• 4:50
  Yeah, that's a good point, I think. Yeah, it's definitely a
• 4:55
  bit like what was this seven seasons in, so they're finally starting to do
• 4:59
  a bit more in depth character explorations on these people who have been kind of
• 5:02
  a one one note joke for the entire series so far. So getting like
• 5:08
  an understanding of why he's just so relentlessly nice kind is kind of fun and
• 5:14
  something that, yeah, the show can start to do after a while,
• 5:16
  because we're up to season seventeen right now doing the show, and sometimes they
• 5:20
  explore characters and you think, ah, coming Book guys a good example.
• 5:25
  They explored his character a lot, and it's like, I'd prefer just be
• 5:28
  a one note. But I think the way they handled it, the way
• 5:30
  Bill and Josh handled this one, because they were the show runners at the
• 5:32
  time, the way they handled this one was just a perfection. Really yeah.
• 5:35
  And I mean even besides that, like just individual gags. It it's
• 5:41
  so dense with individual jokes that are just gold and even yeah, I don't
• 5:46
  know, like I have a bit of a story nerd myself, and so
• 5:47
  I love how specifically it follows that, like the three act structure and they've
• 5:53
  got Okay, so the first act hurricane act jam, all of the hurricane
• 5:57
  jokes in that you can get. Second one, Flanders has a crisis of
• 6:00
  faith, which is an interesting exploration in itself. Third and then that scene
• 6:05
  where he's like going through the house that they've built and just like the shoddy
• 6:11
  worksmanship, that's just that's an all Teimer and then that whole second act an
• 6:15
  all timer. Yeah, and then yeah, the third actor, You've got
• 6:20
  the whole the backstory why he's like that. It's just yeah, which and
• 6:25
  they're all funny for all different reasons. But yeah, I just think like
• 6:28
  that that rant from Flanders in particular is just like peak Flanders. But I
• 6:31
  was going to say to you, guy, I was watching this thinking there
• 6:33
  was more funny moments in that little ninety second rant from Flanders then what I
• 6:39
  reckon has been in like the entire season seventeen so far, every line was
• 6:45
  just hitting its mark. It was so good. Oh you're not wrong.
• 6:46
  Yeah, I mean it's it's like since Ned was was flandering, like Flandering,
• 6:55
  Let's try that again, shall we. It's like Flanders was channeling Don
• 6:59
  Rickles or one. You know, It's like it was like the best insult
• 7:01
  comic in the world and just you know, just a sharp shoot of just
• 7:05
  nailing target after target after target, hitting the most vulnerable spots just perfectly.
• 7:10
  Yeah. I mean I am an absolute sucker for a good Worm turns moment.
• 7:15
  And I mean one doesn't like to see anything bad happen to Ned.
• 7:19
  I mean, he's so pure. I think we're all a bit Homer every
• 7:23
  once in a while, ago like, oh my god, this guy is
• 7:25
  so pious and annoying, but he's so pure of heart that I'm like,
• 7:28
  oh man, it kind of sucks when things go south for him, and
• 7:33
  yeah, but for him to for the devil to make him do it essentially
• 7:39
  in this scene, it's just so wonderful. I think it was perfect choice
• 7:42
  too, where they selected Marge to be the first person for him to attack.
• 7:45
  It's like, with all the people in Springfield, who's the one who
• 7:46
  probably deserves at the least, it's Marge. He goes for the jokular straight
• 7:50
  away. It's just like, oh, shit's getting real. But what I
• 7:54
  really loved after that is that, you know, Bart sort of step standing
• 7:58
  up like oh you know, oh well, yeah that's cool. We know,
• 8:01
  we really respect that. But for him just turn around and say used
• 8:05
  to you know, here's a catchphrase, Hey man, got a quarter?
• 8:09
  Oh yeah, that's right, I have shocked and all that's that Bart's reaction.
• 8:18
  There's one of those lines that I say all the time but always forget
• 8:22
  that it's even a Simpsons quote, Like it's so applicable. Yeah, this
• 8:26
  is one of the great things about going back and doing episodes. From the
• 8:28
  quote unquote golden years, I mean, I think it's been a long it's
• 8:31
  certainly been a long time since I watched Hurricane Nettie. But later in the
• 8:35
  later in the episode, in the third act, where they're at Calmwood,
• 8:39
  Calmwood, Yeah, yeah, yeah, and doctor Foster is welcoming the Simpsons
• 8:43
  in and telling the rest of the family to go and have a brows around
• 8:48
  the fields or whatever. That whole line about one of my pasions accountable trying
• 8:52
  to guess which one I think would be pleasantly surprised. I'm like, oh,
• 8:56
  that sort of lived in my head, for goodness, Downes a long
• 8:58
  but I've forgotten exactly where it from, where it was from, and the
• 9:01
  exact context of it. But that whole I think it'll be pleasantly surprised.
• 9:05
  Just the doors. I was so so happy to see that here. I
• 9:09
  always hate me God have Messiano say my favorite. But enough about his quote
• 9:16
  in the episode. Let's get into a sort of our favorite moment. So
• 9:18
  for me in particular, I just love the Homer's reaction to the house falling
• 9:22
  down to the shoot, like shit, and there's that there's that shot of
• 9:28
  Flounder's about to sort of like Rand. He's sort of like fixing his glasses
• 9:31
  and Home was just in the background scratching his head like how did that happen?
• 9:35
  It was just beautifully done. But what about you guy? Um?
• 9:37
  Like I said, I like, I love a good worm turns of.
• 9:39
  That whole scene when Ned was fantastic. Yeah, that's yeah. Seeing young
• 9:45
  Ned and what a little HELLI and he was was fantastic. I mean,
• 9:48
  just that movie of like, I'm crazy. Take that prune vase now I'm
• 9:52
  prune tracing. That'd be fair. I never actually picked up until kind of
• 9:58
  recently, where that implying that he's going to go next? Do you know
• 10:03
  what I mean? Yeah, as a kid, you have no idea what's
• 10:05
  going on? Yeah? I never understood that. I mean it was funny
• 10:07
  just visually because of what was happening. I never got it till I was
• 10:11
  older. Yeah. Yeah. And the whole freaky beat next thing after that
• 10:15
  is nothing idea. That's the other The other thing I love about it is
• 10:22
  have you guys heard of Dankmus? He does, like yeah, yeah,
• 10:26
  and so he's got all out of Ideas is one of his remixes, which
• 10:31
  is an absolute banger, as all of them are dank, the some I
• 10:35
  want to say he stole my bed for ages when when I was young girl,
• 10:43
  I always wanted to um take that line of Lisa's saying we got beats
• 10:48
  and put a beat behind it. And then when I found Dan was gone,
• 10:52
  I can't. I can't be angry. This so good. It is
• 10:58
  catchier than it has any rights one. Going back and reviewing this episode because
• 11:01
  it'd been a while since I've revisited this one, there was actually several lines
• 11:05
  that I just completely missed as a kid growing up in particularly in that scene
• 11:07
  where he's going crazy and that his parents are there where he's like coveral of
• 11:11
  those books, some of them haven't been discredited yet. I've never heard that
• 11:15
  line. I just never picked up on it. It was so good.
• 11:18
  But some of my favorite moments also were the well cause if you need anything,
• 11:24
  just leading plan it's in the rubble. Any more brain busters? All
• 11:28
  right now, Michael, we have to have a little segment here on our
• 11:33
  four finger discount where it's called the blockbuster Brainbuster, And what we do is
• 11:35
  we go back to when this episode originally aired that that week, and we
• 11:39
  try and guess the top three films at the US box office for that week.
• 11:43
  Right now, the original edit of this episode was December twenty ninth of
• 11:48
  nineteen ninety six, so this episode originally aired the very end of ninety six.
• 11:52
  What do you think were the top three films at the US bucks office?
• 11:56
  I'll give you us some clues. I'll say the clues. Michael,
• 11:58
  you can have a quick think, and then Guy I can try and Charming
• 12:00
  as well, because Guy is the movie Guy. So first one is Angel.
• 12:05
  He's an easy clue for number two, show me the clue, all
• 12:09
  right, that was number two. Number three is black and white. And
• 12:13
  there's four and five or so four and five at that time where Beavis and
• 12:16
  butt head to America and scream so good four and five. But to the
• 12:20
  top three, number one, Angel is the clue, Two is show me
• 12:22
  the clue, and three is black and white. What do you reckon those
• 12:26
  films might be? Michael Man, all right, yeah, that's a tough
• 12:28
  one movie a bad an Angel, a movie about someone showing somebody something,
• 12:33
  and a movie that had something that was black and white in it, something
• 12:37
  that was black and white. All right, so the first one, I
• 12:39
  mean, what even movies about angels are there. I'm probably going this is
• 12:43
  too deep a cut. But that Michael one with yeah, would be about
• 12:50
  to say the next clue is irving. I remember that was that John Travolta
• 12:58
  and it was good? Was that a good movie? Guy? I can't
• 13:00
  remember? Was a bad movie? Bad? It was the first movie I
• 13:03
  saw it with my ex wife when we when we first started seeing each other.
• 13:05
  Maybe this had the bad memories of it then because of that. No,
• 13:09
  didn't start out I didn't start out of my wife. But it reminds
• 13:13
  you of times that have once been Anyway, Yes, Michael's number one,
• 13:16
  number two. Obviously you're gonna guess this one, right, show me the
• 13:18
  clue. That's gotta be Jerry McGuire. It is. Jerry McGuire was number
• 13:22
  two. So John Devolza tipped him out with the Angel movie number three.
• 13:24
  A film that has a lot of black and white things in it? Would
• 13:28
  it have more than a hundred? Has just a little bit more than a
• 13:31
  hundred of all right? All right, I was gonna like Shindler's List,
• 13:37
  that'd be one hundred one Elmaians. Yeah, the live action one. Was
• 13:41
  it clean? Close? Wasn't it as Cruella? Yeah that sounds right.
• 13:45
  Yeah, I remember being marketed heavily like when I was a kid, like
• 13:46
  all of the McDonald's happy Meals and things like that. Yeah, it was
• 13:50
  a big deal. But yeah, so Michael Jerry McGuire one hundred mind Damasians
• 13:52
  were the top three films, and then Babs and Buddy'd do America and Scream
• 13:56
  coming in for four and five. So a good five films, solid solid
• 14:00
  outing that week. Nineties a better time certainly. Indeed, I completely forgot
• 14:05
  that Michael was even a movie Like that's just got no cultural impact in this
• 14:11
  day at all. Scream is five, and that still feels real, Like,
• 14:16
  yeah, did they reboot Scream or Scream five sort of like a reboot
• 14:22
  legacy sequel? I think yeah, where it's got some of the old characters
• 14:26
  but mainly new ones. Got quite a reboot. Next question, you're there
• 14:31
  eating the beast. Okay, I've got a couple of trivia questions for you,
• 14:33
  gentlemen. My first question, mister Davis, is who does Reverend love
• 14:37
  Joy offer a book of too Flanders. He's got a book of him in
• 14:41
  his office. I think of Garth Uncle, Well, hang on, it's
• 14:45
  art Linger. Oh yeah. Oh. I was like, I'm drawing to
• 14:52
  draw a connection there. It was like, oh, okay, all right,
• 14:56
  what's your first question? Guy? My first question to you is when
• 15:00
  to the Hall of Records blow away? Well? Do you know this?
• 15:01
  Michael? Oh? Was it nineteen seventy four? Eight? I think it
• 15:07
  was. Wasn't it a little later? Nineteen seventy eight? Homer and Marge
• 15:11
  in the class of nineteen seventy four. Oh, maybe That's where I'm getting
• 15:13
  it from. So though, in the class of seventy four, shouldn't that
• 15:18
  mean they would have known they'd already been a hurricane and Springfield and known White
• 15:20
  mysteriously disappeared. Well, they would have been the early twenties in and just
• 15:24
  you know, only having eyes for each other. Okay, then wouldn't have
• 15:28
  trust Homer's memory on anything anyway? Really, yes, it's probably drunk.
• 15:31
  My other question is what room number was Flanders in? He was in room
• 15:35
  one O seven one O seven correct? Was I thought it was going to
• 15:39
  be one of those ones that's like it's the production of a code. Yeah,
• 15:43
  they always slipped those in. There was like four four seven, so
• 15:46
  one oh seven kinder yeah, seven in there. It kind of works.
• 15:50
  Yeah, yeah, all right, And you guys asked this one more question,
• 15:52
  we'll move on. Who sponsored the medical movie? Oh one, this
• 15:58
  one? Do you know, Michael, Oh, hang on, it's Swanson
• 16:02
  something. No, I don't remember at all. Swanson's Angry Man's Dinners,
• 16:07
  which was a takeoff. Apparently there was a thing about Swanson's Hungry Man's Dinners.
• 16:11
  Hungry Man Dinners like TV dinners. Yeah, slightly bigger. You know,
• 16:14
  when you go to the frozen food section, they've got like meals for
• 16:17
  a man. It's like maybe twenty percent bigger pub size. It's like,
• 16:22

• 17:12
  nineteen ninety six. As we just said earlier, written by Steve Young
• 17:15
  and directed by Bob Anderson, it guests our John Lovets, says Jay Sherman
• 17:18
  in the Combard Mental Hospital, and yeah, we do love John Lovets.
• 17:22
  You'll soon find that out, Michael, we do love John loves In the
• 17:25
  show, and the cotch gaggle was the couch is replaced with a coin slot.
• 17:29
  In the words vendor couch appear on the wall. At the Homer inserts
• 17:30
  a coin, nothing happens. He hits on the wall and it comes down
• 17:33
  and hits him on the head. So the episode kicks off with Homer just
• 17:37
  relaxing on a hammock. And I'm going to be honest, I've actually never
• 17:40
  had to sleep in a hammock before. If you guys have had a sleep
• 17:41
  in a hammock. Oh yeah, I never have at my old house.
• 17:45
  I used to have one, okay, and a on a not necessarily summer
• 17:49
  day, but on a spring day. That's better there, right? Nice?
• 17:55
  What about really nice? Yeah, we used to have one in the
• 17:57
  backyard of when my brother and I lived together. I spent many in the
• 18:02
  evening out there, and yeah, good. I don't think I've ever fallen
• 18:04
  asleep though, hm hm, pressure dropping, humidity rising over eight percent,
• 18:12
  increasing wind. Here we are chapter two, so your pressure is dropping drop.
• 18:29
  I think I arrigated coming. Oh, Lisa, there's no record of
• 18:33
  a hurricane ever hitting Springfield. Yes, but the records only go back to
• 18:37
  nineteen seventy eight when the Hall of Records was mysteriously blown away. What is
• 18:44
  your point, earth quake, Hippi hurricane? How the animals are always the
• 18:52
  first to know. I always feel so sad. I always think of the
• 18:56
  animals when there's a disaster or natural disaster or some kind. The first thing
• 18:59
  I think of his animals. I don't know about you guys, but I'm
• 19:00
  like, oh, there's poor dogs and cats Like I don't understand. It's
• 19:03
  every man for himself in no situations, but man, it's just so sad.
• 19:07
  Well, yeah, I mean it was a big visual gag in Twister.
• 19:10
  You know when the cow sort of flying through the eye. Yeah,
• 19:11
  poor cows. You're like the guy at the when Home is doing a stand
• 19:17
  up the poor cow. Then we get the Brockman news report, which I
• 19:22
  think was amazing. I'm Supplices didn't make your favorite moments. If you think
• 19:27
  the sexist naming after a woman you've never seen the girls at a clearance.
• 19:32
  But he shouldn't say it, Harry, Harry shere is always an MVP in
• 19:37
  my eyes, but honestly he has just kicking goal after goal in this episode.
• 19:42
  I mean, I wanted to go through this in some of my favorite
• 19:45
  bits, but I mean some of his some of the lines from like I'm
• 19:49
  skipping ahead, I'm sorry when the left or rim has been been losing,
• 19:53
  try to look it in the mat, try to go back brilliant. The
• 19:57
  whole Reverend Loved Joe thing is like short answer yes, but with an long
• 20:03
  answer yes, with a no with the butt, no with the but it's
• 20:07
  like, that's great. I'd love that writing and I love that delivery.
• 20:11
  And of course everything he does with ned is of course, yeah, this
• 20:14
  This was really a showcase for Harry Share. It wasn't it this episode?
• 20:17
  It really was. If he didn't get I would hope he would be nominated
• 20:19
  for Emmy's or any other award. You certainly hope no Peace Prize. But
• 20:23
  they're just that that it's true, but he shouldn't say it. It's just
• 20:26
  like the best way to respond. There's something that everyone knows is true,
• 20:30
  but she's just like that hasn't Yeah, I'm surprised that hasn't become a meme,
• 20:34
  Like it hasn't. Kind you see it comment threads sometimes, you know.
• 20:37
  Yeah, there's the Falcon and winter Soldier thing with I was like,
• 20:42
  he's out of line, but he's right. It's like, well, that's
• 20:45
  exactly the same thing us March. So they're got to pick up some supplies
• 20:48
  at the quickie mark. He's taking his seventy people at a time, and
• 20:51
  I immediately thought of people rushing to get tilet paper during the pandemic. Yeah,
• 20:55
  it's funny how this episode takes on a whole new meeting because we've never
• 20:57
  lived through a disasse, like a hurricane of things like that, thankfully,
• 21:00
  but the pandemic. You watch this now and just like, oh shit,
• 21:03
  this is what it was like. You know when we used to have to
• 21:04
  line up, do you go into the supermarket? Yeah, only letting two
• 21:10
  people into the time or something like that. It was crazy like and the
• 21:11
  fact that like it just doesn't even get talked about it anymore. It was
• 21:14
  just what we literally lost two years of our life. It was just it
• 21:18
  was amazing. It was great, feel like a weird fever dream of a
• 21:21
  thing. Yeah, but it must be like I don't go back into our
• 21:23
  podcast after I finished editing and putting them out there. But people often say
• 21:26
  that it's interesting just listening to us do the podcast during the pandemic. They're
• 21:32
  like, so many people say that you just gave us a little of that
• 21:34
  little beam of entertainment to threat the pandemic, where you know, you guys
• 21:37
  were just chugging along. It just made me realize that I just need to
• 21:41
  just chug along as well. But Kirki tries to be a big man and
• 21:45
  say, let's just beat him up. No, no, no, do
• 21:48
  not listen to this man. Remain calm. You'll all have a chance to
• 21:53
  be gouched. That's another line that I missed as a kid. And everyone
• 21:57
  enters obviously goes crazy. Coach just gets left beaten and disheveled and then just
• 22:02
  shops just taking advantage. So catch Ow is now Hurricane Chowken. He's still
• 22:07
  in the squishy as you were mentioning earlier, mister Davis. And they find
• 22:11
  creamed eels and corn noog and waded beef, and I'd probably try what a
• 22:15
  beef of those three things. I don't think I'd go anywhere near creamed eels
• 22:18
  if I had to eat cornogor would, But what are beef is certainly where
• 22:21
  I'm going for. Yes, indeed, eels are revolting. I've eaten them
• 22:26
  exactly. Once went to a Japanese restaurant and it's like I'm going to be
• 22:30
  adventurous and try eel, And then I was adventurous and try to eel and
• 22:33
  regretted it to this day. Or maybe if they were creamed, Yeah,
• 22:37
  were they creamed eals or they just eel? I don't know how they prepared
• 22:41
  them. I honestly they just went down this was it was a Japanese restaurant
• 22:47
  sort of on the water. It was down in Rippleside Park. Yeah,
• 22:51
  they went down to the water and just plugged the eels out and put them
• 22:53
  in pla. I don't think they cooked them at all. If you didn't
• 22:56
  know it was eel, though, do you think it would have changed your
• 22:59
  person option of what you were tasting? No, I was eager. I
• 23:03
  was like, oh, eel fantastic. I'm adding this to my culinary vocabulary,
• 23:10
  you know, because I mean I've tried various animals eating them that is,
• 23:15
  and yeah, and often been. I think it would be pleasantly surprised.
• 23:18
  But I mean, you know, I tried buffalo and goat and all
• 23:21
  that kind of things, like buffalo will I mean, how do you buy
• 23:22
  buffalo? We obviously in another country? This was yeah, this was years
• 23:27
  ago, okay, um, and was like you can have buffalo, but
• 23:30
  where though where? I've forgotten it? Actually, I think it was even
• 23:34
  in Melbourne, but it was like decades ago. I think my favorite weird
• 23:40
  animal I've eaten was crocodile. You just feel really smug eating something that could
• 23:45
  actually eat me first time. I mean technically a dog probably eat it.
• 23:49
  If it one or two, you'd have to really imply itself. Way do
• 23:53
  you eat his dog regularly? What I've eating dog? But people do eat
• 23:57
  dogs on yourself. What do you think of crocodile because I've tried it as
• 24:03
  well and I found it extremely bland. Yeah, it's a bit. It's
• 24:06
  like salty chicken. Really, I wasn't a fan. It was more just
• 24:10
  being able to say I've eaten it, really, but I love salt and
• 24:12
  I love chicken. Was it like salty salt or chicken salt though, because
• 24:15
  guys on the fan of chicken salt, I'm big on chicken salt. Oh,
• 24:18
  yeah it was. I wouldn't say it was chicken salty. It's chicken
• 24:22
  and salt together, isn't it not making a combination of chicken salt? WHOA?
• 24:26
  Well, apparently there's no actual chicken in chicken. It's just Australians like
• 24:33
  to eat the most that chicken. Let's called chicken salt. The last pineapple
• 24:40
  and plenty right too. But I'm not fruit on my head. That's what
• 24:45
  the pumpkins said. Hi, Lisa, we're going to be in a pie,
• 24:51
  Sir. For your own safety, we do advise you to evacuate.
• 24:53
  I ain't cleaving. I was born in the snurching home and up die in
• 24:59
  the snurching home. Oh is there any chance if you're changing your mind,
• 25:02
  sure, let's go. The Simpsons are now preparing. Homer is hammering a
• 25:06
  door to the window and Ned invites them in here. He's like, he
• 25:11
  politely says, I'll be a third wheel. Oh no, I would make
• 25:14
  it my business to be a third wheel. Okay, the Flanders. You
• 25:18
  think he's going to be safe and sound, he's all got his ship together.
• 25:21
  He walks off, so they do the standard Grandpa drill. They all
• 25:23
  head into the basement, and then hurricane. I always love it when they
• 25:27
  do a takeoff of the intro. They do it in with the Thompsons And
• 25:30
  what was the one we did recently? Guy with the fat Bart? Um,
• 25:36
  what I'm going to say? What did I say? Though? Damn
• 25:38
  it's three weeks later? Three weeks later? Yeah yeah, yeah that's right.
• 25:42
  Yeah, but it's the opening intro. But Bart's really fat. I
• 25:45
  really liked that episode. I thought it was really really good. I like
• 25:47
  that one. Um. But yeah, so the hurricane started, we get
• 25:49
  the classic Simpsons gag. This is like like a Swatz Wilder gag with the
• 25:53
  prisoner hitting the electric wires. I think my favorite gag in that and it's
• 26:00
  probably the next one is that where like blows into the harmonicas store like.
• 26:07
  But before that, though, marcays, we should distract ourselves or something.
• 26:11
  Let's try this Rubik's cube. And I've never understood how to solve a Rubis
• 26:15
  cube. I just don't get it. I was about to say, I've
• 26:17
  never solved one in my life. I've got frustrated with several of them,
• 26:21
  just left them half done. I just can't do it. But there's a
• 26:22
  video online. Obviously there's plenty of videos of people doing this, but it
• 26:26
  was a child, like on a plane or something. They hand him this
• 26:27
  Rubik's cube. He just goes and he just does it, and then they
• 26:30
  sort of mix it all up and they handed to him. He sort of
• 26:33
  assesses it, he turns it around, he looks at it, and then
• 26:37
  like three seconds it's it's done. It's like, I don't know how he
• 26:38
  does it. It's incredible. Oh man, I was a teenager and song
• 26:44
  in the middle of the original Rubik's Cube craze. Yeah. Yeah, And
• 26:48
  they came up with all these other variations on, like the Rubic Snake,
• 26:52
  but there was also like the Rubic pyramid, okay, and I saw that
• 26:55
  and I thought, oh my god, that's the shit Christmas and I've got
• 27:00
  one. And that was the one variation on ruby that I was ever able
• 27:03
  to, not even able to well, I solved it, but I was
• 27:07
  also I became one of those winkers, like, look at this cool pattern
• 27:11
  that I make when I turned this, this, and this, and everyone's
• 27:15
  looking at him. Good. This has been one of the defining traits of
• 27:19
  mygsins. I love variations on things, like you know, anytime there's Carlton
• 27:26
  Nita Brewery are bringing out a new beer and like, I'm trying that,
• 27:29
  but you are meg on treats like desserts or potato chips. It's vetie mate
• 27:33
  flavor, it's meatpie phoebes, like yeah, please, then you try to
• 27:37
  like there is cheese and onion, yeah, but they put a bit of
• 27:42
  chicken sold on. I just like the way that, like when you were
• 27:45
  younger, you're still clever enough to think of an out for the reason you
• 27:48
  couldn't solve it, Like I can't solve it, but look at the patterns.
• 27:51
  Well, no, I did solve it, but then I was so
• 27:53
  good at it. I was able to make patterns as well. But why
• 27:57
  haven't got a Ruby's up? Wa get this? Can pyramid idiots with you?
• 28:02
  There is of course a Simpson's Rubik's Cube here somewhere shaped like Homer's head,
• 28:08
  so it's like a three model of his head. I yeah, I've
• 28:11
  been too afraid to mix it up because I don't think I'll ever get back
• 28:14
  in the right spot. You know what. I pride myself on knowing that
• 28:17
  I've got some stuff that you don't have. Ah, it tears me up
• 28:21
  inside, not for long. Is that thing I said your ages to go?
• 28:29
  The handheld game? Oh? Yeah, that was that? The cupcake
• 28:32
  one? No, it's a cupcake. It's just like you know the little
• 28:34
  handheld games used to have, like Laddin and Buying Key and things like that.
• 28:38
  I don't think it's cupcakes in it, but it's just that there was
• 28:41
  one that's game and watch things. Yeah, can hang on once. I'll
• 28:45
  get it down and top of your hang on might be that? Is it
• 28:49
  like a Bartzilla one or something? Put the headphones back on one moment.
• 28:52
  It's this thing here. So you guys are at home can't see this obviously
• 28:56
  unless you're watching this somehow. But do you see that? Wow? Yeah,
• 29:00
  we can turn it on and everything. I'm not sure which yeah,
• 29:03
  but yeah, it's I finished the game in about three seconds. It's made
• 29:07
  by I have no idea, but yeah, and it's Tigers Tiger Electronics.
• 29:12
  One Tiger Electronics, that's what they're called. Oh yeah, yeah, there
• 29:15
  was a few early nineties. That one looks probably late nineties because the game
• 29:25
  can you how can you tell by looking at something? Because I know,
• 29:30
  what, when do they stop doing the like the pink and green? Yeah,
• 29:33
  so I think that was probably ninety one or two, and then they
• 29:37
  switched to just green, like a green base for a lot of stuff,
• 29:44
  um for a few years, and then they went like a route about two
• 29:47
  thousands or must be earlier because that thing there they went to like a red
• 29:51
  and yellow, red, yellow blue scheme. Yeah, it was red and
• 29:55
  blue a little bit later because when I were doing those little figurines at coals
• 29:57
  and stuff, I feel like the boxes were like Lewin red and yellow.
• 30:00
  Yeah, that's right. That was was that two thousand and seven or eight?
• 30:04
  So that late was it? Well? Okay, yeah, I was
• 30:07
  working at the times. It must have been about two thousand and six at
• 30:08
  least. Yeah, yeah, all right, maybe what's that early? Yeah,
• 30:11
  I can't remember, but who knows? But um, what a time
• 30:15
  to be a life. Anyway, where are we up to? What we
• 30:18
  finished? Guy's Ruby's Cube story? Everyone please finish the ruby It's done,
• 30:26
  It's done. Um but yeah, so anyways, shit's going down the Rubi's
• 30:29
  Cube, Marge, you know, she cracks it again, she throws it
• 30:30
  away, and this is where what happens after I'll be this week at your
• 30:34
  your favorite moment the Harmonica store. Yes, and then Homer goes out,
• 30:40
  you know it's look at you really calm it is, and sees the bottle
• 30:42
  of rama flying in the background, realizes that, um, that it's still
• 30:45
  happening. They almost just stuck to I remember as the kid this moment here
• 30:48
  going oh shit, I thought was a guy but no, he gets in
• 30:52
  margin does her prey and I'll recommend you to all my friends. And then
• 30:56
  when it gets better, he fell for it and there's no damage at all.
• 31:04
  Now obviously it's just because of the way they've done that shot from But
• 31:07
  when I was a kid, I always thought that the house, their roof
• 31:11
  had come down like a few feet, because it's actually covering half the windows.
• 31:15
  But what it is. It's just the overhang covering the top of the
• 31:18
  top half of the windows. But when I get always thought their house had
• 31:19
  like shrunk. But then we cut to Flanders and it's all gone deadly on.
• 31:26
  So we come back from commercial and Maud she comes out from the rubble.
• 31:30
  She thought she was on her way to the eternal, eternal bliss of
• 31:33
  paradise or whatever, and pour rods in a tree. He's got a headache.
• 31:36
  I said that quite a lot. When I say at a headache,
• 31:38
  I say it just like like rod there, And Flanders says, you know,
• 31:41
  I'm just grateful that we're all still alive. I'm gonna gets your stuff
• 31:45
  back, And then they talk about how Ned doesn't have insurance. I love
• 31:49
  the reasoning the former death. I guess another one as a kid that I
• 31:56
  didn't really understand that now as an adult you really like, ah, do
• 32:00
  I need that? I probably should, Yeah, But then the tombstones are
• 32:05
  still there. Well calls if you need anything. And when out the church
• 32:07
  and did you see the sign at the front. Oh, God welcomes his
• 32:09
  victim, God welcomes his systems. And we get the I'm stupid shirt and
• 32:15
  what I liked about this moment here is normally Flanders would be bothered by this,
• 32:19
  but he's so beaten down and tired it doesn't even have the strength to
• 32:22
  sort of say no, don't say that, don't be so silly kind of
• 32:23
  thing with the I'm so stupid shirts. The other great thing is that I
• 32:28
  think it's Todd who's wearing the butthole so they can't show, but has got
• 32:32
  to be. But it's for low'd what's better? The answer is not much,
• 32:42
  But there's nothing. There's nothing worse than seeing your dad or the main
• 32:47
  authority figure in life just beaten. Yeah, like crying, I'm okay with
• 32:53
  you, being angry with you, be angry with least you know, but
• 32:58
  the life's just sort of kicked the shit out, saying way to go,
• 33:00
  oh no no, Because when you're a child, usually like one of your
• 33:05
  parents is like the strongest person in your life in most cases, so when
• 33:07
  you see them giving up, it's just like shit, well they can't handle
• 33:12
  what's going on. The handle was going on, so he more sort of
• 33:15
  brings up the sorry, brings up the left toorrium and emmy unfortunate at the
• 33:19
  news report, I mean fortunately for us because it's so funny. But unfortunately
• 33:22
  for Ned, there's a right going on down here at Springfield Mall. A
• 33:25
  storm add old crowd appears to have turned its rage on the left torrium.
• 33:31
  Surprisingly, people are grabbing things with both hands, suggesting it's not just South
• 33:36
  Paws and its rampaging mob. Oh my god, try looking at the back.
• 33:40
  Meantime, Springfield bars will be happy to hear that the Bowl Arama is
• 33:44
  back in business and it's new location. Teetering over the Carter Dickson Tunnel.
• 33:52
  Graver and love Joy, what's all it's happened us today? Yeah? I
• 33:58
  kind of feel like job well or aren't you being a tad melodramatic? Ned?
• 34:04
  Also, I believe job was right handed. But Reverend, I need
• 34:07
  to know is God punishing me? Who short answer yes with an f long
• 34:14
  answer no with a butt if you need additional solos. By the way,
• 34:19
  I've got a copy of something or other bi oric link lutter in my office.
• 34:22
  We're still at that point here where love Joy, I don't don't.
• 34:27
  I don't think he's that much older than Flanders, which we learned in like
• 34:30
  the um to Listen Lady episode, But like he he still speaks to love
• 34:35
  Joy like he's an authoritarian, like reverend like like he still talks to him
• 34:37
  like he's a leader, his boss, if that makes any sense. You
• 34:40
  know, he still sees me as like a higher figure than than he.
• 34:45
  He's the middle manager between the big man. That's true. Yeah, Yeah,
• 34:47
  he's just looking for some comfort though in Reverend love Joy. And he's
• 34:52
  even reverend, he's not very unhelpful. You know, you're being over dramatic.
• 34:54
  Look, his house is gone. Yeah, this is it's the clasic
• 35:00
  you had one job. Yeah, it's like provide a bit of you know,
• 35:05
  souls flock there, reverend. And I guess this is is this before
• 35:07
  the Mister Sparkle episode. That's the Listening Lady, the episode I was talking
• 35:13
  about. Yeah, yeah, so that's where he's sort of you learn why
• 35:15
  he's so given up non scaring. But yeah, but is that I can't
• 35:20
  remember if that was before after this one. I'm pretty sure that was after
• 35:22
  this one other. Look shall we so that what was the episode called It's
• 35:25
  um marge in Marjorie Trust in Marjorie Trust that's it. I knew it was
• 35:30
  in there somewhere. Yeah, And that was the twenty second episode of the
• 35:32
  eighth season, So that was after this earlier in the ad season. Yeah,
• 35:36
  but it is. You know, you are right though, I think
• 35:37
  it was important that we eventually did learn why Reverend just doesn't seem to give
• 35:40
  a shit about wanting to help his flock as God put them. But but
• 35:45
  another aspect of this episode that we didn't really touch on yet was I just
• 35:49
  love how Flanders this is looking for an answer from God, like why me?
• 35:52
  Like what did I do? Like I've done everything you wanted me to
• 35:55
  do and it still wasn't good enough, Like what what have I possibly done
• 35:59
  wrong? And I thought that they could have taken this episode in a direction
• 36:02
  of him not losing his faith, but really questioning his faith. But I
• 36:06
  thought they might have made the episode a little bit too dark, maybe a
• 36:08
  little bit too controversial as well. I don't know what do you think?
• 36:12
  Yeah, it does seem like it could almost be its own episode, and
• 36:16
  then like the mental breakdown stuff could almost be a separate one. Yeah,
• 36:22
  could they try to take tackle that in the episode where Moore dies the last
• 36:25
  moment or so, it's just like, yeah, I'm going to church,
• 36:28
  and then they quickly just wrap that up. Yeah, but that's an episode
• 36:31
  that needs it needs more depth to it than what they did in that episode.
• 36:34
  For sure. I love the direction there as well, just the pull
• 36:37
  away. Yeah, they pull up a hund of a percent. I'm not
• 36:38
  a religious person, but like that moment still gets here. Oh you're still
• 36:43
  you're still like really feel for him, man. Yeah, that's the difference
• 36:46
  between as I was saying, Season seventeen Simpsons and this one is like every
• 36:50
  characters feel so raw and real. Where there, you don't get this kind
• 36:54
  of passion and meaning in the characters anymore. And they pull off a really
• 36:59
  neat, honesting act of taking what these characters take seriously seriously while also poking
• 37:06
  fun out. It's hard to it's hard to do that, but they actually
• 37:07
  do it really well here. I mean, I don't think you ever doubt
• 37:10
  Ned's faith, even while Ned is doubting his faith, if you know what
• 37:13
  I mean. Yeah, while they also sort of poke a little bit of
• 37:17
  fun at it, mainly through home or poking fun at Ned. But yeah,
• 37:21
  I think it's such a such really clever writing and really clever storytelling.
• 37:24
  So the very next day, Marge, she says, you've gotta come check
• 37:28
  out this what's happened. It's it's a miracle what the rubble burned down?
• 37:30
  And it turns out they've rebuilt the house. And I'm like, you guys
• 37:34
  built the house very quickly overnight. That's for shadowing what I liked about those.
• 37:43
  It brings up the best of Springfield. You know. It's just there
• 37:46
  are a town that you know, they have their odds of each other,
• 37:49
  but at the core, they're one big family. And that's what I liked
• 37:52
  about this moment here. But it also reveals that there is full of lazy,
• 38:00
  inadequate people. Yeah, there's a good, good balance there, but
• 38:01
  they love a good bandwagon and jumping on it, you know, like the
• 38:05
  radio. But it's an old fashioned hold again. So then they had all
• 38:09
  their different tools, a smet mixer full of hope and some cement, and
• 38:14
  you know, if you need a favor for the happiest man in Springfield,
• 38:16
  this guy never shows up again. I was does feel like that could have
• 38:22
  been a recurring character. I guess he's only a one note joke, but
• 38:24
  so are a lot of them. But I think it probably would have gotten
• 38:29
  old after a while, But it definitely could have had a few more appearances.
• 38:31
  I think this guy was great. He's got one and done. I
• 38:36
  think just one and done as perfect land As then walks into the door.
• 38:38
  The door doesn't open up properly. There's a loose nail. He one out
• 38:40
  of twenty five eight toilet in the kitchen because Wigan was too late to take
• 38:46
  it up the stairs, a low bearing post of crusty in the kid's rooms.
• 38:51
  Then we got a room full of electricity, but there's too much litricity,
• 38:53
  so we might want to wear a hat. And then classic Moe,
• 38:58
  we ran out of floorboats. We painted the dot pretty claim and then the
• 39:05
  whole streaks much like really want from the chocolate factory. But Barney still somehow
• 39:07
  in the master bedroom, Oh my nose. He slams the door and Homer
• 39:12
  leans on the door. You know the house that love built or whatever,
• 39:15
  and it all just love falls down. What do you think of the house
• 39:16
  that love built and it all just falls down? Shoot, It's like it's
• 39:21
  almost like you kind of expected it. He's like, oh shit, And
• 39:23
  planned is a little moment there were he's trying to clean his glasses and they're
• 39:28
  cracking. It's like that's what makes him crack? Yeah, it's like,
• 39:30
  oh that sound is him cracking as well. I was like, he's had
• 39:32
  enough, so he absolutely lose it. And you can't do this rant justice.
• 39:37
  It's just every single line is an absolute banger. It's so good,
• 39:40
  Mad, we like well and everyone here tried their best. Well, my
• 39:45
  family and I can't lave in good intentions. Marge. Oh, your family
• 39:49
  has had a control, but we can't blame you because you have good intentions.
• 39:54
  Hey, back off, Okay, dude, I wouldn't want you to
• 39:59
  have cow man. Here's the catch freeze. You better learn for your adult
• 40:02
  years. Hey, buddy, got a quarter. I am shocked and appalled,
• 40:08
  mister Flanders with all due respect, but I didn't do anything. Do
• 40:14
  I hear the sound a butting in? It's gotta be a little Lisa Simpson
• 40:16
  Springfield's answered. Do I question? Now? I've asked? What do we
• 40:21
  have here? The long flammy arm in the law? The last case you
• 40:24
  got to the bottom of. What was that case? I'm malamars malamars ah,
• 40:29
  that's going in the act. Oh yeah, the clown the only one
• 40:32
  of you with phones who doesn't make me laugh, And it's for you.
• 40:37
  I don't know you, but I'm sure you're a jerk. Hey, I've
• 40:38
  only been here a few minutes. What's going on? You ugly? Hate
• 40:43
  Field man? Hey, Hey, I may be ugly in hate Field,
• 40:45
  but i'm What was the third thing you said, Harmer, you are the
• 40:53
  worst human being I have ever met? He I got a pretty easy oh
• 41:00
  man, you could just imagine. It's almost fourth wall breaking in a way
• 41:04
  where he's like pointing out all the flaws of these characters, obviously and just
• 41:08
  that. Yeah, that must have had so much fun in the writer's room
• 41:14
  coming up with what you can make fun of all of these regular characters.
• 41:17
  My favorite one wasn't even like the punchline. It was just his disdain of
• 41:22
  the clown. Yeah, the clown. I think my favorite is gonna be
• 41:30
  good intended the hands going, I don't know, mos is pretty good.
• 41:37
  Yeah, may be ugly and hate Field. But what was that third thing
• 41:42
  he said? I won't have been here Field minutes. What's going on then?
• 41:45
  But that's that's the one that I've got in the in the cell.
• 41:51
  So the cell, first one of the cells is it's like Flanners doing this
• 41:57
  with Lisa in the background. Is she interrupting. That is he's like,
• 42:00
  yeah, and the other cell is like Flanders storming past Mo after that,
• 42:07
  and the storyboard is from the crusty scene over to where he turns around to
• 42:15
  Lenny and he's like, and ask for you. I don't know you,
• 42:17
  but I'm sure you're a jef. I just had to get that on the
• 42:22
  storyboard, Homers, And then I love the directing and just the animation.
• 42:29
  When Flanders approaches Homer, he just has that sense of nervousness like, oh
• 42:32
  shit, what have I got coming? And just the worst human being I've
• 42:37
  ever met? What God? I feasy? I was okay, I got
• 42:39
  that, And he leaves and checks himself into Calmwood Mental Hospital. And what
• 42:44
  was the song he was singing there? It sounds like the Yeah, it's
• 42:49
  like that tropical yea yeah. But they come out from commercial now and he's
• 42:58
  committed himself. He wants to go and kicking the kicking and screaming please.
• 43:02
  Is anyone ever curious about what a padded cell feels like? It? Is
• 43:07
  it the floor as well? And I just guess it would have to be,
• 43:08
  would I think it must be? It's I get the feeling, it's
• 43:12
  been like a bouncy castles. Bouncy castle, yeah, just not as bouncy
• 43:16
  though a lot firmer I think, yeah, yeah, but imagine, just
• 43:21
  imagine it was bouncy. I want I'd check myself in all the time.
• 43:25
  I think. I've been to like tours of old asylums and they're just they're
• 43:30
  depressingly just concrete. It's real, real shame. I don't know if the
• 43:34
  padded thing was ever real or just a cartoon invention, but the dream the
• 43:38
  nursing comes along as you see Flan has written the paper with his feet and
• 43:42
  she calls doctor Foster and no one. I was a kid, I used
• 43:45
  to always, for some reason, used to think he was saying, may
• 43:46
  God have mercy on a song? Because the way he says kind of mercy
• 43:50
  on us all it sounds like if you listen to it, it's like me,
• 43:52
  God a mercy on a song. I'm like, what the hell does
• 43:54
  that mean? For us? So long when I was the kid, I
• 43:57
  was like, I don't get this. What's going on? The shoes are
• 44:00
  in the den and then he goes to see Ned and he obviously another strait
• 44:05
  jacket to give him warm and Flann as he thinks, you know, oh,
• 44:07
  I was a good little boy. He's completely just you know, hidden
• 44:09
  all the memories. He's put it pushed into the back of his mind that
• 44:12
  he was actually a little shit head. So he just convenently has the footage.
• 44:15
  They're ready to go. I brought to you by Swanson's Angry Man's Dinners.
• 44:17
  And yeah, that's seeing the prune Tracy. It's so awesome, Queene,
• 44:25
  that prune face, no pun face. Take that, Tracy. No,
• 44:30
  I'm prune Tracy. Take that. Stop it it, stop it.
• 44:37
  I can't believe I was such a terror. Well, neither could your parents.
• 44:42
  That's why they brought you to me. Well, I'm afraid young Ned
• 44:46
  is unusually aggressive, but I can't seem to find a cause for it.
• 44:51
  Hey, hey, get down from that bookshelf. Please, most of those
• 44:53
  books haven't been discredited yet. Would you please tell your son to stop?
• 44:58
  We get and do it me. And that's discipline. That's like telling Jene
• 45:01
  group but not to go boom boom boom boom boom boom. Lack of discipline.
• 45:10
  I'm beginning to see the problem. We don't believe in rules, like
• 45:15
  we gave them up when we started living like freaky beatnoks. You don't believe
• 45:20
  in rules yet you want to control Ned's anger. Yeah, you've got to
• 45:23
  help us, Doc. We've tried nothing, and we're all out of ideas.
• 45:29
  I've tried nothing in them, all out of ideas. Is a shot
• 45:31
  that can mean that gets use all the time. Absolutely, but yea yeah,
• 45:36
  I mean just the slight variation of the Harry puts on the Flanders voice
• 45:38
  to do that, to do that, yeah, when we were freaky beat
• 45:46
  um. But then they try the spankological protocol which goes to eight months.
• 45:51
  Just I love the various changes in the seasons. Santa Claus volleyball, just
• 45:57
  avoid the window. But then it works two and now he's he represses,
• 46:01
  he can't be angry at all, repressed. Everything he strings nonsensical jabbering.
• 46:06
  And then which also explains the way why he talks the way he does these
• 46:08
  slanderisms, and you know he's there any particular person that can make you this
• 46:14
  angry. Cut to Homer on the phone, Landers, I don't know any
• 46:16
  need Flanders stop. Oh yeah him, they arrive and just the putting the
• 46:22
  same stickers on that is just classic simself. But it's a callback to when
• 46:28
  Homer gets Um released from the mental hospital in isn't it the Stamp? So
• 46:32
  he gets a stamp on his hand, his hand, yes, yes,
• 46:36
  right, yeah, Well that episode doesn't exist anymore, so I don't know
• 46:38
  what we're talking about. Um and one patience a cannibal. As we're touching
• 46:43
  on earlier. Now, there's three people that we know in these cells.
• 46:46
  Do you know any of them? Guys? Well, because it's but also
• 46:54
  the long haired chap is John Schwartz was indeed, yeah, and the first
• 46:58
  woman was Mike. Well that you say. That was miss Bots. The
• 47:01
  Babysitter Bandit, which was supposed to be the very first episode of the Simpsons,
• 47:06
  but the animation was so terrible they pushed it back to the season finale.
• 47:08
  Miss Bots, Yeah, the Babysitter Bandit. But yeah, they need
• 47:13
  to find someone so irritating that he can't suppress his rage. He says to
• 47:15
  can you be that man? Bubble gum on the face, just get into
• 47:19
  booth and home. It starts running at all the cards. I just don't
• 47:22
  want to get to the last one. I engage an intercourse with your spousal
• 47:24
  significant other. Now that's psychiatry. That whole scene again is another like line
• 47:31
  for line corker. Oh just so good, thanks for dropping back maximum hostility
• 47:38
  factor. I engaged an intercourse with your suppose or a significant other. No,
• 47:45
  that's psychiatry. H h oh, very funny, wise guy, Oh
• 47:52
  that's you just can't in solve this guy. You call him a moro,
• 47:55
  run and he just sits there gritting mora. Hi, neighbor, you know
• 48:00
  what your problem is, Flanders. You're afraid to be human? No,
• 48:04
  no, why would I be afraid of that? Because humans are obnoxious.
• 48:07
  Sometimes humans hate things, well, maybe a few of them do. Back
• 48:12
  East, I can't find what home is saying. Did you write that?
• 48:15
  Um? Did you like it? Come on on, Flanders, there's gonna
• 48:19
  be something you hate. What about mosquito bites? Mmmmm sure are fun to
• 48:22
  scratch? M satisfying. What about your fluorescent lights? O? They hum
• 48:30
  like angels. You're never lonely if you got a fluorescent light, see you
• 48:36
  like everything? No, that's not true. I don't like the service at
• 48:40
  the post office. You know, it's all rush, rush, get you
• 48:44
  in, get you out. Then they've got those machines in the lobby.
• 48:47
  They're even faster no help there. You might even say I hate the post
• 48:52
  office that and my parents. Has he beatnings? Well, I'm is trying
• 48:59
  to just up with stuff that literally everybody hates, Like, yeah, I'm
• 49:02
  not a bad misscater, but hm, sound as back give up. This
• 49:13
  guy can't. But yeah, he has a breakthrough, he's cured. Everyone's
• 49:16
  ready to greet him as they leave. And there's three signs here besides the
• 49:21
  welcome back. One says we love Flanders, one says flandy as dandy,
• 49:24
  and then there's a free John schwatz Bolder, the very last one there,
• 49:29
  which when you're watching his back on TV back in the day, you would
• 49:31
  never have seen it. It's right at the last second. You have to
• 49:34
  really freeze frame it. But yeah, it's there. I noticed it's also
• 49:37
  on the on the wiki page as well. I thought I was being very
• 49:38
  clever trying to find that one that realizes on the wiki page. But then
• 49:43
  he says, you know, if you if you annoy me, a gonna
• 49:45
  really hear about it, and if you tip me off, I'll run you
• 49:46
  down with my car, And then we get the Flanders You're so crazy at
• 49:51
  the end of the episode. So yeah, it's a it's amazing. We've
• 49:52
  had some Flanders episodes up to this point, but this just seems like the
• 49:57
  Flanders episode. But everyone thinks of White episodes were about Flanders, this is
• 50:00
  the one you go to, I think, Yeah, even more so than
• 50:04
  like the one where they go camping. That one seems like a pretty obviously
• 50:07
  Flander's heavy episode. Yeah, this one's got a lot more yeah, character
• 50:12
  depth to it. Yeah, Well, we don't learn why he is the
• 50:15
  way he Isn't that one, you know, he just homer pisces him off
• 50:17
  to the point where like even the nicest guy in Springfield has to sort of
• 50:21
  vent. But we don't learn why he is the way he is. And
• 50:22
  that's what this episode. This episode is the real exploration of the head Flanders
• 50:25
  character, and they just did it so well. Yeah, I think some
• 50:30
  of it ends up being undercut a bit by like later episodes, like you
• 50:34
  know, the Vegas episode where they reveal that he's sixty and then all of
• 50:37
  a sudden, Yeah, I don't know if you really call it cannon or
• 50:40
  if it's all it's all kind of flexible, but yeah, if he's sixty,
• 50:45
  then how old is doctor Foster or a true. You know, it's
• 50:49
  kind of messes with it a bit, but I would say more than a
• 50:52
  bit. Yeah, absolutely, that's warping space. And yeah, something that
• 50:59
  was croius about just that that closing line neared you so crazy. I'm wondering
• 51:02
  if it's a catchphrase belonging to w anybody. Martin Lawrence had a stand up
• 51:08
  specially in nineteen ninety four called you so Crazy, and I wonder if that
• 51:12
  was kind of his catchphrase on the eponymous sitcom Martin Um, you know,
• 51:17
  also name checked on the show Plenty of Dames, because you know it was
• 51:21
  Martin was feeling kind of race. I've never heard of that sit on before.
• 51:24
  Yeah, I didn't know he had one. Maybe I did not know.
• 51:28
  Think remember the show called the Hugelys Yeah, d l H. Yeah,
• 51:31
  like that show is just completely guying. Ever, like that was like
• 51:35
  like late nineties, there was like all these sitcoms that just like we're pretty
• 51:37
  big at the time, but they've just gone. If it's vanished. Damer
• 51:40
  and Gregg's another one like Dammer and Gregg's is gone. Two guys ago at
• 51:45
  a pizza place, Remember that one Ryan Reynolds that was gone. I feel
• 51:49
  bad for the other guy like Ryan Reynolds, most rich and famous person in
• 51:55
  the world, and this guy won't say he's living in a cardboard box.
• 52:01
  But still I think it was on one of those sort of like seasie type
• 52:05
  shows. For a while. I would hope, I should hope, So
• 52:07
  I hope. And what was the girl's name in the show, But she
• 52:10
  went on to become a Sharon Sharon, she went on to play she was
• 52:14
  in Monk. I think it was was a Monk, I think so,
• 52:15
  yeah, yeah, yeah, so she went on to do something as well.
• 52:19
  But yeah, somebody late ninety sitcom. But the hugely is just I'm
• 52:21
  just like, that was a show I haven't thought of like fifteen years.
• 52:23
  That just came to my head. And he said, Martin, and yes,
• 52:25
  it was another one. Yeah. They're always on Fox Day in between
• 52:30
  like Simpsons and King of the Hill, and they went for like eight seasons.
• 52:35
  Yeah. Now there's something. There's one called Rules of Engagement. Yeah,
• 52:38
  I know the one David Spade might have Spade, wasn't it, Yeah,
• 52:42
  and had Putty from from Sinfowder. Yeah, yeah, I remember it
• 52:46
  existed, but I couldn't. I think I might have watched about eight minutes
• 52:51
  total. But like you watched the commercials now like Channel ten commercial from ninety
• 52:53
  yet you're like, ah, simpler time. I never watched the show,
• 53:00
  but we did do a show just on like sitcoms that just have vanished.
• 53:02
  I'm going to be a fun thing to do. But yes, that has
• 53:04
  been our discussion here of hurricane. Now do you think you've slept in that
• 53:07
  one, Michael, to discuss But now we are here to discuss you,
• 53:09
  sir. So you are on TikTok. TikTok's a big one, right,
• 53:14
  that's where most of your views come from. TikTok. Yeah, that's the
• 53:16
  one that I feel like I'm too old for that, so I kind of
• 53:21
  I was a bit anxious about trying it out. But it's the one that's
• 53:23
  really blown up. Yeah, Simmons, one word, it's you're using the
• 53:29
  terms blown up. Michael. I don't think you're too old for TikTok.
• 53:35
  I've learned it, picked it up from your kids. So on there,
• 53:38
  it's like fifty six thousand. Facebook's like dead in the water. I know
• 53:44
  you guys have a pretty like face in people are still using Facebook. So
• 53:49
  we're nearly on ten hundred thousand followers now, but we're going, okay,
• 53:51
  everyone, I want to leave. You know what it is too, It's
• 53:54
  saying like Twitter as well. It's like people are saying I wouldn't do Facebook
• 53:58
  anymore. But of all the things, Facebook just seems to be the constant
• 54:00
  that just keeps chugging along. It's like, yeah, people say that it
• 54:04
  used anymore, but when we put something out there and fucking goes off,
• 54:06
  So people must still be using Facebook now. I think if you're starting from
• 54:10
  now, like it's TikTok and Instagram, possible to get a Facebook. Yeah,
• 54:16
  like the ball rolling there. Instagram's not too bad, but I've only
• 54:20
  got Yeah. Twitter was the second most useful one until recently when yeah,
• 54:27
  Elon Musk is kind of tanked the whole platform. So your Twitter not going
• 54:31
  any good anymore because as was going really well and then it sort of just
• 54:35
  like stagnated. Yeah, it's a bit that way. I think I've topped
• 54:38
  out at about four thousand followers on there, and it grew really fast and
• 54:43
  then slowed down. Yeah. Um, but we need to st or TikTok
• 54:47
  doing it just because everyone else is doing it. We need to get on
• 54:50
  that bandwagon. But I think like Twitter was really good originally for getting in
• 54:55
  front of the people from the show. So yeah, I ended up having
• 55:00
  a bunch of writers like Josh Weinsteine follows me on there, and some of
• 55:07
  the animators locally probably follows you, I think so. Actually, yeah,
• 55:12
  Villa and Josh are like the two they see about the two ones that are
• 55:14
  genuine fans and still keep up the date with the fandom. Yeah, yeah,
• 55:17
  that's it. And then I think Instagram a lot of the muse as
• 55:22
  well. I think Maggie Graining, So Matt Greening's sister followed me on Instagram
• 55:27
  that day. I was like, whoa, I know that name. To
• 55:30
  play it cool, So on your TikTok, we'll just we'll focus on the
• 55:34
  TikTok. Then basically it's just you show videos of your collection. But let's
• 55:37
  talk about your collection. So, I know I've read somewhere that you started
• 55:38
  collecting in high school. That's where it's sort of spawned from. But what
• 55:43
  like your earliest memories of Simpson's merch, Like, what are the ones that
• 55:45
  you had when you were a kid that you might have anymore? But what
• 55:47
  sort of is your best memories of Simpson's collection Simpson Collectibles as a kid,
• 55:52
  I don't remember like a lot of the very early figures and stuff. For
• 55:55
  me, it was the tazos and things like that. Yeah, I was
• 55:58
  going to say that was the bit. I think that might have been the
• 56:00
  birth of the collecting bog footy cards and tarzos. That's where it started for
• 56:05
  me collecting for sure. Yeah, like just I don't know. There was
• 56:07
  so much fun with that. And you get a bag of chips which Show
• 56:10
  and he loved, and then you have like this little prize inside and then
• 56:14
  it was swapping those and putting them all in the in the album and became
• 56:17
  like currency in the school. Yeah I didn't they Yeah, I forgot my
• 56:22
  lunch. I was sorry. I got six Simpsons tarsos in my bag.
• 56:22
  I swap for a sandwich. And they always had games that you could play
• 56:28
  with them. But yeah, I remember trying to, like you tried to
• 56:32
  with like the Marbles type games. They just never really had the slam as
• 56:36
  we got to slam them on the top of the tarzos and things like.
• 56:37
  Yeah. Yeah, I had for members of the Space Jam ones and my
• 56:42
  son loved Space Jam and there was a space The game for Spaceham was the
• 56:45
  best tarzo game. So basically what it was was like a fold out basketball
• 56:49
  court which came with a little net and it gave you little stands with the
• 56:52
  characters from the movie on it. You put your tars on top, and
• 56:53
  you've got to flick the tarzo off and go through the basketball and then that's
• 56:57
  how you get your points. So like further the further back you were,
• 56:59
  the more points yet for for flicking it in. So that like that's a
• 57:01
  genuine game that was actually pretty fun. But the other time it was just
• 57:04
  like stake up some tarzos and slam it on top and whatever one's land on
• 57:07
  the right side up whoever does the slam I guess to keep those ones.
• 57:09
  And I'm like, I'm not sure I'm reading to give away my tarsos like
• 57:13
  this, but um but yeah, so yeah, so tarzos for you that
• 57:16
  that was definitely a big thing. But yeah, we didn't really have many
• 57:19
  action figures. The earliest ones for me, I remember that the tarzos.
• 57:21
  I remember the KFC must have had a deal with the Simpsons because they had
• 57:24
  the cups. Those cups had on the toppers that they're a big one these
• 57:29
  ones up there where are Yeah, that's the ones top of the studio as
• 57:31
  well. Yeah, I like right, that look great? Yeah, um
• 57:35
  yeah. And they had a lot of um yeah, like sets, little
• 57:38
  figures and stuff. They had a couple of beach themed ones. Yeah,
• 57:40
  that was that Burger king hung Jacks that's yeah, because Hungry Jacks up.
• 57:45
  Hungry Jacks had some cool shit as well. But so what was the what
• 57:47
  was the thing that started the collection? Then the high school one? What
• 57:50
  was the big one? I mean, I can't even remember. I think
• 57:52
  it might have been by that time the Tarzo pickers rolled around, Yeah,
• 57:58
  which were like the ones with the l Crew back. I recomemberies of that
• 58:00
  because I clecton them with my nan, who's now no longer with us,
• 58:02
  but like I used to go to my NaN's after school and she's like,
• 58:05
  oh, I've got a few new Simpsons things for you. I'm like,
• 58:09
  yeah, go on, Marlene. I don't know whether those things kind of
• 58:14
  things would work anymore. I don't think they're allowed to because it's promoting eating
• 58:16
  fast food. But surely if you drop fucking tazas or something in some sort
• 58:21
  of like food like potato chips, or something like even if it's healthy,
• 58:24
  people are going to be all over that. I reckon. I reckon,
• 58:25
  like things like trading cards and that I think they're going to make it come
• 58:29
  back eventually. Like I've got the whole wall of trading cards here. People
• 58:31
  say, are the worth nothing? I'm like, I reckon there will be
• 58:35
  a resurgence and trading cards. Oh yeah, some of them are worth ridiculous
• 58:37
  amounts. There's a few super rare sets that I'm missing here. There was
• 58:43
  like especially the ones that you have to send away for You get like a
• 58:45
  redemption card in your packets and you have to send that away. Those things
• 58:50
  are worth like literally thousands of dollars because you can't send away anymore. Yeah.
• 58:53
  Yeah, so you have to just hope that. Yeah, those people
• 58:57
  who went to that effort. If you went to that effort, then you're
• 59:00
  going to hang onto it. You're not going to just throw it. Yeah.
• 59:01
  Yeah, Michael, is there some kind of holy grail item that you've
• 59:07
  got your eyes on or heard about and like, I've got to I've got
• 59:10
  to have it. There are there's two that highly sought after, and I
• 59:15
  think there's only a couple of them in the world at all. So one
• 59:20
  of them is it's called the Save Blinky Bart. So it's a little regular
• 59:24
  old Mattel Bart figure. Again, you had to send away for it,
• 59:28
  you had to buy. Um he was only like, yeah, like five
• 59:32
  centimeters tall, like a fairly small one, like a pop final here,
• 59:37
  probably smaller than that even, um, kind of like the Springfield figures.
• 59:42
  These ones. Yeah, so the Bart size of that, yeah, i'd
• 59:45
  say. And yeah, they had the whole family and like Nelson and stuff,
• 59:51
  originally five centimeters are five inches centimeters. That is small. That's tiny.
• 59:57
  Yeah, they're the ones on the white couch. Okay, we've got
• 1:00:00
  mini ones like five cinemas sitting all sitting on a white couch. It's really
• 1:00:04
  bizarre. But you continue, Yeah, those tiny ones. Yeah I do
• 1:00:06
  know which ones you mean. Yeah, yeah, um no, so it's
• 1:00:08
  bigger than that one. But yeah, they you had to buy all of
• 1:00:14
  the family and then clip off the barcodes and send those away, and you
• 1:00:19
  would get this guy. And rumor has it there's only like three known in
• 1:00:23
  the world. Um, this Mexican collector that I mate with, Alex Ortega,
• 1:00:29
  he's got one, yeah, I think, yeah, yeah, that's
• 1:00:32
  him. He's great, and there's another guy in the UK who apparently has
• 1:00:36
  one, and that's I don't know where any of the others are. So
• 1:00:39
  I'm always hoping against hope that one day you just walk into a garage sale
• 1:00:45
  and find this thing sitting there for five bucks and no one knows what it
• 1:00:49
  is. I can just get Alex on the show and we'll tell you when
• 1:00:52
  he's going to be on the show. You fly to Mexico and whilst he's
• 1:00:54
  just talking to us, you're just going down and you've got to tell you
• 1:01:01
  I'm going to leave, Yeah, leave a card courtesy of like the cat
• 1:01:07
  burglay. But is there a community collector sort of looking at for one another.
• 1:01:13
  It's like, you know, yeah, I came across this, I've
• 1:01:15
  already got it, or I've got something similar. It's not what I need
• 1:01:17
  or not what I want, but I know someone So in the UK or
• 1:01:22
  someone so in Poland wants. Yeah. Well that's the great thing. I've
• 1:01:28
  Yeah, through all the social media stuff, I've gotten into that community.
• 1:01:30
  So you've got yeah Alex in Mexico, You've got there's a couple of guys
• 1:01:35
  in the US in the UK and you kind of just um, yeah,
• 1:01:40
  you help each other out because some of the stuff. We've got a lot
• 1:01:43
  of stuff through Zin lately, which is Australia exclusive and amazing. They've licensed
• 1:01:47
  some cool shit lately. Yeah. So I used to I used to work
• 1:01:52
  at pop Culture and I sort of have to get that off the ground.
• 1:01:53
  So I'm basically the reason we had the stone cut of stones made now those
• 1:01:58
  stones all right, Like that was on me. Oh that's cool. Yeah,
• 1:02:01
  I've got the ring. I've got the stone cutters ring, the mill
• 1:02:05
  Pool stockings, the Christmas stockings. Do you see that. I do have
• 1:02:07
  that. Yeah. Yeah, the pig cufflinks as well, that was another
• 1:02:13
  one. Yeah, but they were it was a headache at the time because
• 1:02:15
  um, Disney didn't own them yet. I don't think there was Maybe it
• 1:02:20
  was during the transition, I'm too sure, but they were really tight on
• 1:02:22
  what you could and couldn't make, couldn't use certain characters. There was a
• 1:02:25
  certain like guideline or things you could have the characters say on the merch well,
• 1:02:30
  so basically they weren't really willing to do things like the stone Cutter's ring
• 1:02:35
  and the steins like that's off brandt. We want just the main family stuff
• 1:02:38
  and we're like, now people are gonna like this. So it was like
• 1:02:40
  pulling teeth out, but we eventually got those through. But I feel like
• 1:02:44
  since Disney have taken over, Disney's like and we've bought this thing that makes
• 1:02:46
  the money. You go make some ship and we'll we'll make some money.
• 1:02:51
  So now you see some like I think the last like two years have been
• 1:02:53
  like peak Simpsons merch for cool, unique Simpsons items in my opinion. Yeah,
• 1:02:58
  well they've like Super seven is another company that's sacking a lot of really
• 1:03:01
  cool stuff. They had like a series of McBain figures and it's like McBain
• 1:03:07
  Mendoza and Scoe the guy who gets like these full of bullet holes. They
• 1:03:12
  had a couple of Troy McClure one. Yeah, it's so good. And
• 1:03:16
  the Ultimates figures which they've just released, Um that's like Poucie. It's got
• 1:03:22
  robot itchy and scratchy and they're massive. They look so cool. Yeah,
• 1:03:25
  I love the I think the Kinge and Cotis ones are coming. The Kinge
• 1:03:28
  and Codis ones are going to be unbelievable. Yeah, Pommies in Australia is
• 1:03:32
  they take forever to get you. Yeah, that's it, But I would
• 1:03:36
  definitely I think my head they're so expensive to Super seven, that's the only
• 1:03:38
  thing. It's like, Oh man, they're like a hundred bucks a pop
• 1:03:40
  for one toy. Yeah, that's it's It hurts, but I can't stop
• 1:03:46
  now. Do you feel like, because it's if possible to own every bit
• 1:03:50
  of Simpsons merch? But do you think you ever will get to a point
• 1:03:52
  where it's like I'm done or do you think you're just gonna be collective for
• 1:03:55
  life? I think there might be a point where I'm, yeah, have
• 1:04:00
  to start spending money on more adult things. Yeah, this might sound silly,
• 1:04:05
  and I'll be honest. Do you sometimes get bored of just getting simps
• 1:04:10
  of stuff? Do you feel is at the point now where you feel like
• 1:04:14
  you almost you have to do it now as opposed to it was a period
• 1:04:19
  of that maybe ten years ago or so when I was I didn't have the
• 1:04:27
  room for it, and I like about like uni years and stuff. I
• 1:04:30
  didn't have anywhere to display it, and I didn't have much money to my
• 1:04:32
  name, so I was buying stuff and then just putting it in boxes at
• 1:04:36
  my parents' house and what was like, what's the point? You know?
• 1:04:40
  Yeah, and then it's it's kind of resurged lately the passion. Well,
• 1:04:45
  you've got a reason too. Now with your social media. Have you found
• 1:04:48
  a way to monetize that yet? Uh? Not yet. I've had.
• 1:04:53
  The closest I've gotten is people have started sending me stuff. I'm gonna say,
• 1:04:57
  at least contacting stores saying send me the ship so I can promote it
• 1:04:59
  for it. You should not have you should not have paid for those Mumu
• 1:05:02
  hoodies, you know what I mean? Yeah, I think Yeah. One
• 1:05:05
  of my followers actually told me about those in advance. She's like, just
• 1:05:10
  off the record, I work at Z. Those are coming out in a
• 1:05:13
  couple of weeks. Who want to get on those? I was like,
• 1:05:14
  oh, okay, yeah, the biggest people, I'm pretty sure zing they've
• 1:05:16
  got a blanket rule though, where they won't sponsor any like creators or things
• 1:05:20
  like that, because they only sponsored the Starlight Foundation, which is a good
• 1:05:24
  cause. So I think it's just a case of we sponsor these guys.
• 1:05:28
  If we do one, we have to do them all, so we raise
• 1:05:30
  money for Starlight. You guys, if you want to buy it, buy
• 1:05:33
  it if you don't, don't you know what I means. I think that's
• 1:05:35
  just their blanket rule. Yeah, that makes sense. I look at those
• 1:05:38
  those Mumu oversized blankets and I was like, it looked pretty awesome. There
• 1:05:43
  was a lot money. I had someone do a duet with that video within
• 1:05:48
  about four hours of me posting it, and it was her ordering one instantly,
• 1:05:54
  So you should get hey zinc see she bought it because of me.
• 1:06:00
  Michael, we're seeing a lot of Simpsons stuff. Do you collect anything else?
• 1:06:04
  Not to this extent? Obviously, it's going to be when he's when
• 1:06:08
  the Simpsons fad finally done. Will come a time when you stop collecting sims
• 1:06:12
  of stuff? What do you can you collect next? I don't know.
• 1:06:15
  I think the other thing that like my second passion, and it's starting to
• 1:06:19
  get a bit of that itch now this year is Jurassic Park stuff, which
• 1:06:26
  love as well. I've got a four year old and I'm like, it's
• 1:06:28
  just rekindled my love of dinosaurs. Man Like, he's, yeah, I
• 1:06:30
  buy all these toys for him, quotation marks. It's just like, I
• 1:06:35
  don't even have that excuse, but Throme out, I'm like t Rex clearance
• 1:06:40
  for twenty dollars, yes please. Yeah, And because it's the thirtieth anniversary
• 1:06:45
  of the original movie this year, doing a huge push of merchandise and every
• 1:06:53
  it's so tempting. B W has the real Field t Rex, the red
• 1:06:56
  one, and I saw it the other day because my son really wants it
• 1:06:58
  because he watches like YouTube videos of people with it, and we're always the
• 1:07:00
  last ones to get the Jurassic Park stuff for whatever reason. And yeah,
• 1:07:04
  there's like a hundred bucks and I'm like, I don't think so, man,
• 1:07:09
  I know eventually this thing will because I usually buy it first for Ali.
• 1:07:13
  I'm like, so he's got it now, you know, he feels
• 1:07:15
  cool, blah blah blah. But then like a month later, tw months
• 1:07:16
  later, they're like, hey, do you want it for half price?
• 1:07:17
  And I'm like, a man, but what he ended He's had it for
• 1:07:23
  an extra two months. He was happy, you know what I mean.
• 1:07:24
  But one hundred bucks for one t Rex toy. He is just a little
• 1:07:26
  bit too much, in my opinion. But yeah, you did so you
• 1:07:29
  paid full price for these Super sevens at the Simpsons, Is that right?
• 1:07:31
  Well? I actually ordered them through pop Culture, so they had I think,
• 1:07:39
  yeah, there was a bundle if you get the fire I put the
• 1:07:41
  bundle. I remember, all right, Um, so yeah, it was
• 1:07:45
  about it was that, which I think ended up being like maybe fifty bucks
• 1:07:49
  or eighty bucks off. There's still yeah, especially when I ordered multiple waves
• 1:07:57
  in one or did you really Yeah? That was nearly a nearly a grand
• 1:08:01
  in one transaction. I did love it is see a Facebook post of a
• 1:08:04
  pop culture promoting and you're like, where's my pre Odors bitches? Hey,
• 1:08:11
  I didn't say it like that. It had been Yeah, they were like
• 1:08:16
  all of a sudden advertising that they were in stock, and I'm like,
• 1:08:18
  where am I might not hear you. How many Symptons items do you think
• 1:08:23
  you own right now? Oh? Geez, I don't even like it would
• 1:08:28
  be like two to three thousand. Do you think it's in thousands or yeah?
• 1:08:31
  I did a rough count and I thought it might have been about three
• 1:08:34
  thousand. Wow, So I had someone asked me that once. Um.
• 1:08:39
  But it's this other thing where apparently collectors get very antsy about specific numbers,
• 1:08:44
  like if you claim this number, you have to really back it up because
• 1:08:46
  it's a pretian and everyone is like, this set is one item. You
• 1:08:54
  can't claim those four figures as as four items. That's one set. That's
• 1:08:58
  one item, and it shows me alreadies are at for some people. It's
• 1:09:02
  yeah, it's weird. So I estimate three thousand individual items. I think
• 1:09:09
  I feel like we can go off forever talking about your collection. We'll have
• 1:09:11
  to get you on again in the near future to just talk about collection in
• 1:09:14
  general. I reckon, but we are running out of time now. I'm
• 1:09:15
  getting the wind up from the lovely wife of mine. But I was been
• 1:09:20
  absolutely joy to have you on, Michael. And by the way, listeners
• 1:09:23
  may have seen me promote as getting a bit of a mention in JB Hi
• 1:09:27
  Fi Stack magazine and Michael was the man behind that article. So I think
• 1:09:29
  you Michael, that happen. That's all right, no problem. Yeah,
• 1:09:32
  but it's been absolute joy. As I said, to have you on,
• 1:09:34
  let's promote your your social media is before we let you go. So yeah,
• 1:09:39
  so I'm on TikTok, Twitter, Instagram and Facebook at collect Simpsons or
• 1:09:45
  worst Simpsons collection ever? Um yeah, just google that. Google Google worst
• 1:09:50
  collection ever. Make sure you put Simpsons there though, because I think it's
• 1:09:53
  get some really weird shit, you get the Jeffrey Dahmer page already. Michael
• 1:09:59
  Facts now worry s, thinks a lot
