He Loves To Fly And He D'ohs (S19E01) · Four Finger Discount (Simpsons Podcast)

• 0:00
  Hello, and welcome to success. It's Marge Simpson. I need you to
• 0:04
  coach like I've never coached before. Marge. Please, I'm with a client
• 0:09
  now. You listen here. Bob, we paid you off as savings we
• 0:13
  had in the world. You can at least tell my husband something encouraging.
• 0:18
  All right, Homer, what is it you're attempting to do? Went over
• 0:20
  a difficult client. I'm trying to land a plane with no experience, Homer.
• 0:24
  I gotta tell you I'm not very good. I went to the Harvard
• 0:27
  of the South. Duke that's good, not Duke Vanderbilt a little further south.
• 0:32
  Don't make me say it, forefinger disgunt, dude. Maybe wondering whou
• 0:52
  the audio a little bit shit at start there? I wasn't it in record
• 0:54
  again. It's because I'm so used to pushing just record there. But you
• 0:57
  know what, I don't care. I'm gonna fuck. I'm just gonna use
• 0:59
  these for the cameras. Dando has reached Season nineteen podcast. It doesn't give
• 1:04
  a fuck anymore. It's understandable. We are having a good chat. We
• 1:10
  are checking ourselves out in the camera looking good. Yeah, we won't get
• 1:14
  to the end and go, let's just redo it. We'd better redo that.
• 1:17
  Yeah, but you know, season nineteen did not kick off with a
• 1:21
  bang. You know what the biggest disappointment for me for season nineteen was it
• 1:23
  was the fact that, besides the opening intro, they didn't incorporate any elements
• 1:29
  from the movie, almost as if the movie just didn't exist. They sort
• 1:32
  of acknowledged it in the intro with the skateboarding through the characters and all kind
• 1:34
  of stuff, and they don't and all that kind of stuff like that,
• 1:37
  but then it was just forgotten about. They didn't get Spider Pig after the
• 1:38
  couch game. That's true. I think they just thought, okay, well,
• 1:42
  well this, we'll do our due diligence, will acknowledge that there was
• 1:46
  a movie events happened in it. But it's just status quo. I get
• 1:49
  start a movie. It's not canon apparently. But when you have a movie,
• 1:53
  right, you think, surely you're going to do something that is going
• 1:55
  to play on forever, even if it's just having Spider Pig in sitting in
• 1:57
  the kitchen, having every once in a while to have it trot through the
• 2:00
  frame. Yeah, it just it didn't bother me. But I just thought,
• 2:04
  what a wasted opportunity there. You've just done this movie and I get
• 2:07
  that you acknowledged it at the start, but it should play into canon somehow.
• 2:12
  And I know canon is a dirty word, but Spider Pek was huge
• 2:15
  at the time. Remember Spider Pick. Spider Pick was very well. They
• 2:16
  based the whole all the trailers around spot exactly right. People were singing spider
• 2:21
  Pig, spider Pick. So why was Spider Pick not in the show?
• 2:23
  Now? I don't know the world had spider Pig fever. They did,
• 2:25
  indeed, but yeah, he loves to fly and he does. So we
• 2:29
  had the guest stars from Lanovichie, which was just a shameless cameo, it
• 2:31
  wasn't and we had Stephen Colbert, so Stephen Colbert as Colby Krause another what
• 2:38
  have you called a fresh face? It's like, yeah, it's just a
• 2:40
  shoehorning in, is it? Though? Yeah? I think what disappointed me
• 2:46
  about this episode? And sorry I'm talking of due diligence. I really should
• 2:50
  have done mine and gone back and then that how many times Homer has had
• 2:54
  either a legitimate life coach or just a role model or someone in his corner
• 3:00
  saying change your life by doing this. Well, the problem is they blew
• 3:05
  their load with Carl and season two. That's very much. There's no going
• 3:07
  back from that. It's like you've had Carl. It's only down from there.
• 3:10
  Yeah, now, forgive me. Is Carl and Max Power? Is
• 3:13
  that the same episode? Carl season two, Max Power season ten? Okay?
• 3:16
  Then Max Power was just home and getting his shit together himself because he's
• 3:21
  the character on TV and he got a new scarf. That's right. Yeah,
• 3:23
  but Carl was Harvey have you one? No, it was not Harvey
• 3:30
  Fire. Yes, Hard must be sitting aging common mister Hard must be sitting
• 3:34
  there going my god. I didn't. But he was so good as Carl.
• 3:42
  He was great, and that was a I thought that was a great
• 3:44
  storyline as well, despite the fact that I clearly conflated too and couldn't remember
• 3:49
  an individual one es. Also, one of the quotes are using every day,
• 3:52
  every day life, whenever we go shopping, let's go shopping. The
• 3:55
  thing I remember most from that episode is when he gets the tailor's seas you
• 4:00
  conceal it or something like that. It's so good, it's fantasy. If
• 4:04
  I ever get in the tailor enemies you conceal this. He was the best
• 4:11
  life coach home he's ever had, very much, and when you get Cobbe
• 4:15
  Krause, this just feels lame. Our friends in other parts of the world,
• 4:18
  we probably talked about this in the past, But there's a chain of
• 4:20
  supermarket see called n QR stands for not quite right. These items that have
• 4:27
  been discontinued are approaching their best by date, or even they're used by date.
• 4:30
  I discovered there's a difference. You never heard that ever. It says
• 4:34
  used by it, don't touch. It's like this is a recommendation. Shuck
• 4:39
  the fish, unt touch to dyes, and Kobe Krause felt very much like
• 4:50
  the n QR version of In America, you might say the dime Store,
• 4:56
  the nineteen nineties of chains. Understand the Franklin's Fresh. He's not even the
• 5:01
  Aldi. No no, I won't have Aldi. No no, That's what
• 5:05
  I mean. Like but Adi, I told you about the Tariza and Haluomi
• 5:09
  burgers of this Oh so delightful. I get that, But it's Aldi will
• 5:12
  forever be seen as Oh, it's that other supermarket. It's not the big
• 5:15
  Dots, tims a tough kitchen. Aldi chocolate this. But but during COVID
• 5:20
  they were great for getting past it. They always had a ship leader pasta.
• 5:23
  You go to Coles was like you can have one packet now He's like,
• 5:26
  take what you want. Boys, it's a friend zre. So yeah,
• 5:32
  Colby was very much that that kind of thing. I'm wondering where Colbert.
• 5:38
  Do we still call him Stephen Colbert? I mean there's actually a pronounce
• 5:41
  his name, because I was of a mind that when he had his show
• 5:44
  where he was the sort of the right wing talk show, it's like a
• 5:46
  bit of a spin off from the Daily Right was he Well, that's the
• 5:49
  thing. It was a bit of a pisstake. He was like a I
• 5:51
  think he was like a mock Fox Newsy kind of host, and the Colbert
• 5:57
  was kind of a bit of a weird flourished they put it. I don't
• 5:59
  know it's at Colbert or anything like that. If his real name is actually
• 6:03
  Colbert, my apology Stephen, I've always said Colbert. I'm wondering where he
• 6:09
  was placed at this time, if we're still doing that show, or if
• 6:11
  he'd become a one of the late night talk show hosts in the in the
• 6:16
  Jimmy Vein, let's go Stephen Colbert two thousand and seven. That's when this
• 6:20
  air The Colbert Report two thousand and sevens Colbert. Okay, so he's doing
• 6:24
  Colbert Report. Yea, so he was a name. And this just feels
• 6:29
  like we had a bit of a bitch before we started recording today, right
• 6:31
  how podcasts just feel like we'll bitch about TV show rewatch podcasts and how the
• 6:35
  co stars go. We're going to rewatch the show with you guys now because
• 6:39
  we're not feeling it anymore. But podcasts in general just feels like it's a
• 6:43
  bunch of celebrities now going who can get the next guest celebrity. It's almost
• 6:46
  like talk shows have become podcasts. It was very much there's anybody but Mad
• 6:49
  Groening. You're stealing our bets. Yeah, And now it feels like The
• 6:54
  Simpsons season nineteen is almost feeling like, hey, look who've got this week?
• 6:58
  And let's base an episode around that. And it's like, ah,
• 7:01
  the story is not strong enough. Yeah, And there's life march higher than
• 7:06
  my life? Why why I've got in my notes, I've written WTF every
• 7:12
  time I just went what's going on here? And there was several of those
• 7:15
  here. It just doesn't This just felt such a weak premise for a season
• 7:18
  premiere. It did. I mean, I like the idea, not just
• 7:24
  on in fiction and The Simpsons, but in general about having occasionally a life
• 7:30
  coach or an outside source to take a look at what's going on in your
• 7:35
  life. But it was like, wasn't it like last season or just before
• 7:38
  when Homer and Marge were life coaches for the married couple. Remember that's right,
• 7:44
  got marriage. I'm thinking, how many stories it's just the same story
• 7:46
  rehashed. I don't know. And if you're going to do that, at
• 7:50
  least find a different Anglo or get someone else to have a life coach.
• 7:54
  Well, my theory was, this is a season premiere, right, and
• 7:57
  I'm the Simpsons. I mind the Simpsons. I want the first scene of
• 8:00
  season premier, not the intro of the movie stuff. The first scene needs
• 8:03
  to be something that hooks you, right, and it needs to go,
• 8:05
  Wow, this is awesome. Mister Burn's just walking through a wall and getting
• 8:07
  sucked into a water fountain. That was like the first five minutes, I'm
• 8:11
  thinking, wow, this They really have thrown in the towel here this just
• 8:13
  feel this feels like what I expected was Season eighteen. People were saying,
• 8:18
  whilst I'm making the movie, we're kind of distracted, but maybe it near
• 8:22
  enough is good enough? Maybe season nineteen because Season nineteen edge straight after.
• 8:24
  Maybe they were making Season nineteen at the same time as Simpson movie. I'm
• 8:28
  not too sure because simpce this movie came out in what two thousand and seven,
• 8:31
  and this edge in September two thousand and seven, so this came out,
• 8:33
  so they probably were making this at the same time as well. This
• 8:35
  just screamed like we just don't care. I thought, at least you didn't
• 8:39
  try. No, they just I don't know. I was really disappointed for
• 8:43
  a season premiere because last season, remember we had the Moot, the Chef
• 8:46
  the Fact, which was a fantastic use of guest stars. Absolutely, whilst
• 8:50
  yeah, it felt like a very original story perspective that we hadn't seen before,
• 8:54
  still made use of central Simptoms characters, by which I mean the Simpsons.
• 9:01
  But but least I had nothing to do with this episode. No,
• 9:05
  but just had to and that's it. Yeah, that was his highlight.
• 9:09
  Otherwise he's just been a little brat, which is I don't know, kind
• 9:11
  of his Raisin debtrop but at the same time saying this feels played out.
• 9:16
  Yeah, my favorite What were your favorite moments in the episode? Case,
• 9:20
  I'm looking at mine and I've written nothing. I've written the store names.
• 9:26
  I liked the background gags there, so the shoe in. I liked the
• 9:30
  costmo things like that. But overall, there wasn't really much to enjoy,
• 9:33
  I thought in this episode, which is a real shame. You're right,
• 9:37
  You're right. I mean I've already sort of alluded to. I liked the
• 9:41
  idea of Homer having a life coach, but I think that's more please someone
• 9:46
  get the sort out my life at the moment. I liked the idea of
• 9:48
  Homer being one person at the bowling Alley where he's in his element. Bring
• 9:52
  that version of yourself to the real world exactly. That's the story there,
• 9:56
  but it just didn't really evolve from that. I just thought, like montage
• 10:00
  of him wearing the shoes having sex with Marge and Stuffy, and he stopped
• 10:03
  wearing the shoes at some sages. I thought the story the story should have
• 10:05
  been, he wears those shoes everywhere and then he loses the shoes and now
• 10:07
  he's gotta he's gonna find his mojo. Yeah, it was in you the
• 10:11
  whole time. That's the That's what I thought they were going. And it's
• 10:13
  like, no, he's just he was wearing the shoes for about a montage
• 10:16
  went for about fifteen seconds, and he's wearing the shoes. Look, I
• 10:20
  thought the Itching Scratchy episode Come Flay with Me actually did a pretty good job
• 10:24
  of talking basiness. I swear they've done that title before, Itchy and Scratchy,
• 10:28
  Come Flay with Me. I'm sure you know some skin has been removed
• 10:33
  at some stages during one of those cartoons, so we can hear. Come
• 10:35
  Flay with Me is an episode of The Itchy and Scratchy Show from I'll Tell
• 10:39
  You Find this episode. Oh, I was wrong. I could have sworn
• 10:43
  we had that title before. But anyway, Dan, or at least you
• 10:45
  try. I'm watching it. I'm watching it though, going yeah, I
• 10:48
  don't think I'd be comfortable with Holly and Elliott watching this. And that's what
• 10:52
  the whole basis for the season two episode of The Itchy, Itchy, Scratchy
• 10:54
  and March Show whatever it is. When Marge is annoyed by the vance that
• 10:58
  Itching and Scratchy sort of shows on TV and the kids copy it, and
• 11:01
  I'm watching this going I don't think Elliott and Holly should be seeing this.
• 11:05
  Okay, so should they be watching The Simpsons yet? That's maybe just not
• 11:07
  the chin scratchy ones. I don't know. So is that on you or
• 11:11
  is that on the show or it's a bit of both. Yeah, The
• 11:15
  Simpsons is designed to be for kids and adults. But I just think Elliott
• 11:18
  and Holly would be mortified by It's not that I think they would copy it,
• 11:20
  but I think they would be startled by seeing what you see in the
• 11:24
  Geen Scratchy. Don't you think a three year old seeing a masking has had
• 11:28
  a cat head cut off? Oh? Yeah, that's too much. Yeah,
• 11:31
  I mean it's always It's always been the joke about itching and scratchy,
• 11:35
  like, oh my god, there's violin cartoon and kids think it's hilarious.
• 11:37
  Yeah, but they can't quite my kids yet. Elliott maybe's nearly six,
• 11:41
  but Holly can't differentiate the difference between what's really what's not. I would say
• 11:43
  a three year old there is way too little to be watching that kind of
• 11:46
  thing. Yeah, middle. As I always say, not a parent,
• 11:50
  but I can't understand why my mom didn't be watching the Simpsons. Now I've
• 11:54
  become by mum. Kat's in the cradle spoon what else? Don Joy thought?
• 12:01
  I didn't mind the song with Lionel Richie. I didn't mind that.
• 12:05
  I thought Lionel gave one hundred percent yea the time. Yeah, yeah,
• 12:07
  he committed to the bit and he was in on the joke and did it
• 12:11
  and did a good job with it. As we were just talking about Aldi
• 12:15
  and NQR, I love that you're picking up labels like Miser's Delight no sorry,
• 12:22
  Miser's Choice and Dale Delight. It's like I would probably buy these.
• 12:24
  Speaking of NQR, you may have said on our Facebook page and I recently
• 12:28
  put a picture of Simpson's pasta right, which was from from Italy and you
• 12:33
  can't find it anywhere. I bought thirty bags of it right now selling for
• 12:37
  now, selling on eBay for fifty dollars a bag. I bought them for
• 12:41
  two dollars a bag, and you're selling them money fish, haven't he been
• 12:43
  bought? Yes, I've sold six bags at forty eight dollars each. My
• 12:50
  mummy so I've turned what I rack no, right crazy right, look at
• 12:58
  it, don Carley. I've put up there forbidding the first one, and
• 13:05
  the first one went for nearly sixty dollars, and I was like, well,
• 13:07
  I'll just Laura a little bit and put it back now and just leave
• 13:09
  him up there and yep, tickling through. No, it's one. Yeah,
• 13:13
  always got your eyes on the price. And to wrap up the things
• 13:18
  that I enjoyed about this episode, it is a good motivator when someone says,
• 13:22
  I heard some guy you say, couldn't do that? Okay? Yeah,
• 13:26
  well yes, what's the skinny thing to get a crappy dishquestion? Did
• 13:31
  you have any favorite moments? Not really w F moments, just the just
• 13:35
  the sho shot titles and lone of it. I thought was good in what
• 13:39
  he was. I thought he was better than Stephen Colbert, I think,
• 13:41
  so it was well, it was just funnier. Yeah, overall I didn't
• 13:43
  mind. Is it savettnah? Yes? Next question? You there eating the
• 13:50
  paste? All right, so it's time now for some trivia. What's your
• 13:54
  first question? Well, speaking of the mall and the way we open up,
• 13:58
  can you you name all or at least Dodgers was the last one?
• 14:03
  Okay, all or at least three? The items question is what's the last
• 14:07
  one of them? Okay, well it was Brooklyn Dodgers, but the others
• 14:09
  were Laudanum, cotton, gin, spats and a cell phone. What's spats?
• 14:13
  Spats are a type of shoe. Okay, you'll find they are often
• 14:16
  two tone. Now she might be button up as well. I forgot to
• 14:20
  mention in our previous segment Favorite Moments, how do I forget Crazy ET's phone
• 14:24
  home? I was like, that's actually very clever. Plus you were contractually
• 14:31
  obliged anytime Et appears on any screen to mention it. Yes, but because
• 14:35
  it's your favorite movie. There was that element of for a while with Markey,
• 14:39
  it's crazy Eddie or it's crazy. What was the one for the phones?
• 14:43
  Here in Australia there was a crazy something and he sold phones. Oh
• 14:46
  that's right, Do you remember? I only remember Ken Bruce has gone man,
• 14:50
  Kemprus has gone mad. Bruce Shoulder dressed up as his system of Donna.
• 14:58
  What a crazy time for having Ken Bruce? What a legend? What
• 15:01
  was that? Frank Wiker im national Tar you have? Who was the fact
• 15:05
  that I sell on the log of detergents. Oh, big keV, Big
• 15:09
  keV. Yeah he's excited. Yeah, I'm excited. That's right, very
• 15:11
  excited. Remember when Mike Munro used to rocking people's doors and nappy s hand
• 15:16
  Mike mud respected journalist formost sixty minute staff for Mike Munroe with rock up,
• 15:22
  and I can't believe it's getting rid of the baby steats? What is going
• 15:26
  on? The weirdest big keV moment though, was he'd come along and he'd
• 15:31
  bring along his his laundry relictatory stain remover or whatever. Yeah, and Krazy
• 15:37
  John's was the fame cover Crazy John, and he would Big Kevi would invite
• 15:41
  people to give it a try and then come back a bit later. But
• 15:43
  he sort of he lurched out from behind the like Penny Wise, but he
• 15:48
  sort of slipped I'm back. Yeah, that's exactly how he said. Big
• 15:54
  keV. God bless him. Probably a very nice fellow. And he also
• 15:56
  looked kind of intimidating. He looked like he could be like a bouncer.
• 16:00
  But he got a state funeral. I remember when he passed away. I
• 16:02
  always remember when because he's a massive, massive Beatles fan. For some reason.
• 16:06
  I remember when he passed away, they played when he was casket was
• 16:07
  getting walked down, All you Need is Love by the Beatles. So now
• 16:10
  whenever I hear that song, I think of Big Kev's funeral. Oh wow,
• 16:12
  how was that? Because I was like, hey, you like the
• 16:15
  Beatles too, I remember watching that news story. But Big keV, Yeah,
• 16:19
  I'm excited. He's excited. Big cav So Crazy John's they went out
• 16:23
  of business in twenty fourteen. That's a shame that were Australia's largest independent phone
• 16:30
  retailer. There's no room for the independent these days, whether it's in crazy
• 16:33
  phone sales or podcasting. Started by a Turkish Australian businessman, John Ihan,
• 16:38
  Ah, yeah, had six hundred retail stores. That's a legitimate business.
• 16:44
  I hope Crazy John cashed out. Yeah, and now he's on a beach
• 16:48
  earning twenty percent I hope. So. In January twenty thirteen, voter Fane
• 16:51
  announced that it was the close up to forty of their Crazy John's co branded
• 16:53
  stores. What so, voterafone must have bought them out. Huh, that's
• 16:59
  great. He started in Brunsway, Victoria in nineteen ninety one. And by
• 17:03
  nineteen ninety eight, there were fifteen stores in Victoria and the retailers rate in
• 17:07
  the top ten of Teustra's mobile dealers. As of January twenty thirteen, they
• 17:10
  had sixty one stores. And then it just exploded. You know now pretty
• 17:15
  much everything there is to know about Crazy Days why you're tuning in. But
• 17:19
  anyway, let's get into our stoven cutders. Oh. I thought we were
• 17:23
  in the middle of trivia, but we're going to do Oh do we have
• 17:26
  more trivia questions? Well? I just asked one? Okay, what is
• 17:30
  bodly average? Oh? Gosh? Uh? Two? Ten? Nearly?
• 17:37
  Sorry, I had a drink? Or what are there to fifteen? Nearly
• 17:40
  to seventeen? Yes, the penny in the wishing well that mister burnsineteen eighty
• 17:48
  nine, nineteen eighty nine. Oh, it's like one mind incredible. How
• 17:52
  much are iPhone is apparently now worth? The one time with the Simpsons predicted?
• 17:56
  Wrong? Oh? Uh? Oh like twenty twenty cents? Yeah,
• 18:00
  that's that joke, did not age? Well? No, and final question
• 18:06
  Sam sung galaxy. Yes, that's what I've got as well sounds what's your
• 18:08
  final question? Friend of the pod? Uh? The rich Texan. His
• 18:14
  secretary of the copper tubing uh place is named what or named who? Shelley.
• 18:21
  You're very close, Shelley, You're getting further away. What is it?
• 18:23
  It's Cheryl, Cheryl somewhere all right? No, Now what's stone for

• 19:48
  Keep cutting those stones, all right. So the original air date of He
• 19:52
  Loves to Fly and Doze, before we go a little further into it,
• 19:56
  made a little explanation about that title. I looked at the tone. I
• 20:00
  was like, what's this a play on? I was prepared to do an
• 20:03
  incredible deep dive anything there to find out. I did my deep dive and
• 20:07
  I crashed my head on Wikipedia because that's where they explained it. It is
• 20:11
  apparently a play on we love to fly, and it chose which is a
• 20:15
  tagline from Delta Airlines. Oh okay, they still exist, Delta. I
• 20:21
  think they're still around. I don't know if they're that well regarded an airline,
• 20:23
  okay, but they're the jet Star of America. I think they're the
• 20:27
  Tiger. I remember Tiger or the Bombser they went out, didn't they Tiger?
• 20:32
  I believe, so, yeah. Avlon was like, oh no,
• 20:37
  we have a local airport, the Avalon Airport. That used to always just
• 20:40
  be jest Star and Tiger. It was all it was, yes, and
• 20:41
  that's what it was. Now it's just Jet Star, all right. So
• 20:45
  the original air day was Timber twenty three, two thousand and seven, written
• 20:48
  by Joel H. Cohen and directed by our man Mark Kirkland, the Chopball
• 20:52
  Gig. I will not wait twenty years to make another movie. It looks
• 20:55
  like they're going to, because this was two thousand and seven, where what
• 20:57
  three is away from that now? And there's no sign of any movie being
• 21:00
  announced or in preparation, So maybe he is one coming. Who knows.
• 21:03
  I may know something, but I'm not gonna reveal on this podcast because I'm
• 21:06
  not allowed to. I don't know anything the couch gag, so we had
• 21:11
  so basically the intro here was all various elements from the movie, so he
• 21:15
  had our shards of the dome there, and when Bart rides his skateboard through
• 21:19
  the street, it's all characters from the movie. Who was that the Irish
• 21:22
  kid he's not Bono's son. Oh yeah, that guy who Lisa was in
• 21:26
  love with, who never appears again. The lady that gave home the the
• 21:33
  medicine, remember when he had the eit me? I know all there's what's
• 21:37
  called the piphany. Brave fart that dad brain of me. That's not the
• 21:42
  word epiphany. Hopefully Daniel will show this bit, but he's doing the stand
• 21:47
  of come on, give it to me, you know I'm trying to do.
• 21:49
  I'm asleep. And the Native American woman here and and who all of
• 21:56
  them never appear again. We got the guy Russ cargill O belive his name
• 21:59
  is. He should have been Hanks Coorpio. The villain ship be Hang Scorpio.
• 22:00
  You had Albert Brooks there. What are you doing? Albert Brooks is
• 22:04
  in the studio. Unless Albert Brooks says, I specifically don't want to be
• 22:07
  Hang Scorpio. You just have Hanks Scorpio be the villain the movie, right,
• 22:10
  you would think, so, yeah, everyone loves Hak Scorpio. That's
• 22:12
  the that's the waste opportunity in my opinion, for the Simpsons movie. And
• 22:15
  we have Mohi with his cone on his head, just various elements from the
• 22:18
  movie. And they get to the Kison chortz. Yes, that's right.
• 22:22
  Yeah, And we get to the cash Gaga and Popper is there at the
• 22:23
  pig and he calls him my summer love. And that's the end of Popper.
• 22:27
  Okay, that's the we are memory holding the Simpsons movie apparently. Yeah,
• 22:32
  I just weird, right, You think you would have incorporated into the
• 22:34
  first episode, or at least some Well, I think this is them doing
• 22:38
  that. I think it's like, yeah, we had the Simpsons movie,
• 22:41
  you liked it. There's bits and pieces from it, but it's probably gonna
• 22:45
  be too complicated for us to fold aspects of that movie into this ongoing story.
• 22:51
  Now, well, that's why they get paid the big bucks to not
• 22:56
  do it. Yes, that's the dream. Lots of money do not work.
• 23:00
  Yes, kicks off with Burns and Smithers shopping for a new phone.
• 23:03
  They've got a crazy ets phone home. We get the message over the speaker.
• 23:07
  iPhones in that twenty cents very rare. The Simpsons are so far off
• 23:11
  when it comes to predictions, and this was off. Yeah, yeah,
• 23:12
  I mean the hip miss ratio is usually pretty good. Yeah. The mini
• 23:18
  cell phone that Smithers gave him was eating because you thought it was a lemon
• 23:19
  drop. So Smithers think goes to get the number D listed, but then
• 23:22
  later on the episode copy calls the number he clearly does not. Yes,
• 23:26
  so weird dropping the ball, sees the nineteen eighty nine penny in the fountain,
• 23:30
  decides he's going to region and grab it, falls in and then gets
• 23:33
  sucked through the pipes, and I'm thinking, okay, so we're doing this
• 23:37
  with burnstill cool? We owned a plus I don't know You've got a cameo
• 23:41
  by Ralph Wighaan licking in non existent ice cream. There were some words mentioned
• 23:45
  in this episode that I went, oh, I don't think you should be
• 23:48
  saying these on television anymore. The tea word and the S word. You
• 23:51
  know what we're talking about, the freak fry it makes you what die by
• 23:55
  s oh? Yes? Yeah? And then commercial planes are only for losers
• 24:00
  and tease. It's a terrorists. Oh that's right, Like wow, we're
• 24:04
  making terrorist gags on planes. In two thousand and seven, I must admitted
• 24:07
  they think, oh, well, enough time has passed, since I don't
• 24:11
  think enough time will ever transpire. You don't make jokes about terrorists on planes.
• 24:15
  Thank you for spelling it out to me, because I when I was
• 24:18
  watching going, yeah, I don't think you're watching enough YouTube these days.
• 24:22
  And if so many words get sort of blurred out or omitted, or they
• 24:26
  use euphemisms or whatever, like oh boy, that this work day made me
• 24:30
  want to unlive myself or something like that, like you can't say the S
• 24:34
  word or even the kay myself words. Yeah. So yeah, for your
• 24:41
  contact creators out there, never use the words kill, murder, or suicide
• 24:45
  in titles. Just don't do it, Just do not do it. But
• 24:49
  the thing is, we also got that here's your boyfriend, you know,
• 24:53
  my boyfriend? Like, wow, two thousand and seven, what a time,
• 24:57
  a less progressive time. Oh we weren't, were not. I don't
• 25:00
  think it was. I just think the Simpsons was just the writer's room was
• 25:03
  just stuck in nineteen ninety seven, don't you like I don't. I don't
• 25:07
  think by two thousand and seven we were far past this shit. Maybe look
• 25:14
  I'm trying to be Maybe I'm being far too charitable and thinking, Oh,
• 25:18
  the whole he's not my boyfriend thing is not really a not so much a
• 25:22
  gay joke, is more like a reversalon. That's a gay joke. Okay,
• 25:26
  well, okay, that's why would you say he's your boyfriend? Don't
• 25:30
  you ever say have you ever said that to like your little sister or something,
• 25:33
  particularly when you were kids. Yes, but that's that's this was implied
• 25:37
  here, that Homer is fruity. That was as the Simpsons would put it.
• 25:40
  That's what they're implying here. Okay, Like I said, I was
• 25:42
  being charitable and probably wrongly. So it's just because in recent history with the
• 25:47
  Simpsons, with season seventeen eighteen, it's been full of these kind of games,
• 25:49
  that's correct. Yes, all right, I'm not gonna play Devil's for
• 25:55
  the Simpsons anymore. It just doesn't make me sad. But I just sort
• 26:00
  of go, I'm a little bit disappointed, Simpsons. I feel like you're
• 26:03
  better than this. That was the show for me, The Simpsons. You
• 26:07
  had homophobia in like nineteen ninety six and one. That should have been the
• 26:10
  beginning and ending. That should have been your you guys going we acknowledge.
• 26:14
  We've been saying, shit, we shouldn't have. But you know, Homer
• 26:15
  is our main character by this point. He's learned from this. He's not
• 26:18
  going to be this way anymore. And then they just fucking threw out the
• 26:22
  window. What was the point? What makes homosphobia feel pointless? Doesn't it?
• 26:26
  It does because if that felt progressive at the time, and it's just
• 26:30
  they've just throw out the window. John Waters was probably watching this guy.
• 26:33
  You let me down? Yeah, yeah, anyway, But so yeah,
• 26:37
  birds A get sut through the fountain. Homer decides to save him. You
• 26:40
  obviously dinner with him. For me, that's you. And then he goes
• 26:45
  back in for the Now this last ten seconds here, this is what I've
• 26:47
  got as my first WTF moment. So he goes and I'm going to pinch
• 26:49
  you back as well whatever. He goes back in for the penny falls in
• 26:52
  and Homer's looking at him and he goes, I've got it, and he
• 26:55
  goes mm hmm and just walks off, and I'm thinking, what was that?
• 27:00
  Yeah? What was that? It is the vague semblance outline of a
• 27:06
  joke. Ish, where is the joke there? I don't know that home
• 27:11
  has gone to all this effort, not even all this effort to save him.
• 27:12
  But wouldn't it be funnier though, if he'd fallen in it reaches it,
• 27:17
  pulls h out and he's like thank you or something like that is to
• 27:18
  say, oh, you had to save him again. But here, so
• 27:21
  he falls in and layser and goes, I've got it. Yeah, pull
• 27:25
  him out and say, right for that, I'm taking him out for dinner
• 27:27
  again. I reckon. The original scene here didn't have him saying I've got
• 27:30
  it, and Homer just went mm hmm and leaving him in the fountain and
• 27:33
  walked off. And then they added in they've got it later on, because
• 27:37
  he doesn't hold up the corner or anything. He's just like you just hear
• 27:40
  the audio. I reckon. They went, it doesn't really make sense for
• 27:41
  having it and leave him in the water the second time, so let's throw
• 27:44
  it. I've got it. It also struck me as one of those things,
• 27:47
  you know, there are so many jokes when someone just goes through some
• 27:49
  terrible physical punishment. Yeah, and you hear, then you hear obviously an
• 27:55
  ad outline. I'm okay, why why are we doing this? Doing it?
• 28:00
  That's my first WTF moment. More to come dinner with mister Burns.
• 28:04
  What a waste of my precious, precious Saturday night. I fun with your
• 28:08
  boyfriend. She is not my boy friend. He goes outside, He takes
• 28:14
  him on the private plane. There was a really weird moment here, right
• 28:15
  when he first sees the private plane. Okay, now, did you watch
• 28:18
  this on Disney Right? So I watched on Disney Plus on the TV last
• 28:22
  night, right, and you must have saw what I saw because he says
• 28:26
  private plane, private jet, but it says but it says gigig golf stream.
• 28:30
  I watched it on my laptop this morning. Again, as he says,
• 28:33
  gig gig golf stream. Oh, what the hell? I washed it
• 28:37
  on my TV. The subtitle says gigig golf stream, but he says private
• 28:41
  plane on my laptop. He says gig golf stream. Okay, now I'm
• 28:47
  confused. That is so weird, right, that is odd. It's just
• 28:49
  I could not wrap my head. What the hell happened? I thought?
• 28:53
  Did I dream that last night? I was like, what the hell?
• 28:59
  The only notion that I can come up with is that golf stream is like
• 29:04
  a private label. Or something. The golf stream is a plane. It's
• 29:07
  not a plane, right, But why would if I'm watching Disney Plus in
• 29:11
  the same house I save internet watching on my TV him say put up a
• 29:15
  private plane. Oh here it says golf stream. Oh no, I'm very
• 29:17
  confused. That's what I'm confused about. No, No, that's I'm equally
• 29:19
  confused about that. I was trying to make sense the first of all,
• 29:22
  the first thing where you know, there was the disparity, but yeah,
• 29:25
  that whole it being one thing on the TV and one thing on your laptop.
• 29:30
  That is confusing when the subtitles are still the same on I just it
• 29:33
  was so bizarre. If you can let us know and listeners out there,
• 29:37
  Simpsons mail bag at gmail dot com, why does the subtitle say golf stream
• 29:41
  but he says put up a private plane? Or Mark Kirkland let us know.
• 29:44
  Yeah, when you're watching on Disney Plus on the TV, but then
• 29:47
  watch it on your laptop and he Homer says, put up a private plane.
• 29:49
  It must be the different audio versions. I don't know. I don't
• 29:53
  know what's going on, but you know what, it annoys me. That
• 29:56
  means it must be must be multiple multiple audio tracks, which means add the
• 29:59
  fucking coentaries. You have the ability to do this. At the commentaries,
• 30:03
  You've got him angry. There's absolutely no reason for streaming services not to have
• 30:07
  the commentaries for movies on their streaming services. Right if you're offering us German,
• 30:11
  French and all these other ones, give us the audio commentaries, yes
• 30:15
  or yeah. If you're not going to do that, Major media companies get
• 30:21
  a little more robust with your physical media. You know, actually release more,
• 30:25
  cancel it, don't cancel it, don't wear house it, put it
• 30:27
  in shops, put commentary tracks and behind the scenes documentaries and all that kind
• 30:33
  of stuff. Make it something that we want to buy, like our pals
• 30:34
  at Umbrella. I'm telling you, Disney Plus, if you put the Simpsons
• 30:37
  commentaries on your streaming service, it would be a game changer. You would
• 30:41
  get so many more subscribers. People would lose their minds. They'd be so
• 30:45
  happy because people keep the David sets because they want the commentaries and things like
• 30:48
  that. Put the commentaries on Disney Plus. Please make it happen. And
• 30:52
  then when you do it, I can say I was the reason that you
• 30:53
  did it. This is the only reason the glory, but he gets offered
• 30:59
  soon she on the plane. You can't believe it from Svetlana. He'll do
• 31:03
  anything. Yeah, call me, by the way. What are yours on
• 31:08
  deep dish pizza Chicago style? I've never had the Chicago style Deep dish was
• 31:12
  like a pie. I prefer thick base. I know you're a thin based
• 31:17
  guy. No, no, no, I mean I'd like a thick based
• 31:18
  one because I mean, we're here in Geelong. I think we've name checked
• 31:21
  these guys in the past, Pizzas with Attitude and two thousands in name.
• 31:25
  It's sort of poocha, even the logo. But it's like when you've committed
• 31:27
  your logo for like twenty five years. Everyone knows that logo. You can't
• 31:30
  sort of change it. No, no, it sort of goes full circles.
• 31:33
  If they change the pizza of a Erguy logo, I'd be so sad.
• 31:36
  I think so it's part of the charm is for a while ago.
• 31:38
  That's a bit cringe, And I can't believe we've got a lot of pizzas
• 31:41
  with attitude. It's weird. They right, because if they change the logo,
• 31:42
  your brave would automakely think that the pizzas probably tastes different as well.
• 31:45
  Yeah, because it's always going to look the same. That's why when you
• 31:48
  go to a milk barney, it's going to have the same fucking Peter's ice
• 31:51
  cream thing signs out the front from like nineteen eighty four. It's like there's
• 31:53
  something about the taste from this place that's right. But pizza without it you
• 31:57
  do a fairly thick crust piece. I'm assuming it is a kin to the
• 32:01
  Chicago deep dish pie. I know Chicago's like pie like this thing, like
• 32:06
  super thick, like super thick of a slice of like with a knife.
• 32:07
  Okay, so I a cake. I'm thinking I could be wrong. That's
• 32:12
  what I've been told. It's like eating a cake pie. Oh wow,
• 32:14
  yeah, Chicago style. Let's have a look Chicago style deep dish because I've
• 32:19
  always wanted to try, because you know, I love me some pizza.
• 32:21
  Get look at this so I can't really turn this. No, no,
• 32:24
  I'm gonna get google Chicago Style deep Dish and go to images. It literally
• 32:28
  looks like a keiche. Yeah you're too young to remember this, I'm sure,
• 32:31
  but there was a book yeah called Real Men Dont Keese. Did you
• 32:37
  do know this was in the eighties. It was like, it sounds like
• 32:38
  Simpsons and seven. Have you looked it up? Goo? A deep dish
• 32:45
  pizza? God, damn have you not looked it up yet? That's that's
• 32:50
  a thick pad. Yes, that is actually a pie. You know what
• 32:52
  I mean. It's not just thick crust. It's just a genuine keish really
• 32:55
  hungry now I was, I'm like, I really want to eat this.
• 33:00
  Well, okay, a pizza with attitude. Pizza is maybe half the thickness
• 33:05
  of that. Yeah, maybe a little bit less than that maybe. But
• 33:07
  what we in a show called Fixed Slights of Pizza is what pizza of a
• 33:09
  They just get it and they throw the toppings on. It's thick, it's
• 33:12
  it's delicious, it's delightful. Pieces of Attitude. Friends of the Pot should
• 33:16
  be come on board. We want free pizza. They used to be when
• 33:20
  we first started. The local one here was Friends of the Pod. We
• 33:22
  should get the original because the original Pieces of Attitude in Gelong and there's one
• 33:25
  in Heightened now as well. Oh yeah, they did the Crazy John they
• 33:30
  expanded, Yes, much much like My Belly Pizza's Pieces of attitude, support
• 33:37
  the show. We're excited. I'm going to throw this to them. Okay,
• 33:43
  so what were we talking about? Chicago pizza. Yes, they ripe
• 33:45
  in chicar But yeah, they're on the they're on the flights that Lana's offering
• 33:49
  sushi. Homie just being I don't know, I'm aroused and confused. Oh
• 33:53
  no, but the whole thing, we're on a plane stupid. Yeah,
• 33:58
  it's such lame, right, isn't it. It kind of we just have
• 34:00
  to start calling this now that is just shit writing. Yeah, it's just
• 34:05
  it's Homer is such a jerk. Yeah, and Homer's not so dumb that
• 34:09
  he's going to insult his boss in the space, particularly when they're on a
• 34:13
  private plane that you know, mister Burns is paying for. Homer's supposed to
• 34:15
  be scared of mister Burns. Yeah, he's the boss. Right when you
• 34:19
  got Homer called mister Burns stupid and mister Burn's does nothing about it. That's
• 34:22
  what's wrong with the with the right, it's diffusing all the character interaction and
• 34:25
  then and then episode six of the season, you probably have mister Burns being
• 34:29
  this tyrant and everyone's scared of him again and you're thinking, where's the consistency
• 34:31
  here? How did Homer get away with calling him an idiot to his face?
• 34:35
  Yes? And why did Burns not care? That's what pissed me up
• 34:37
  the most. If in season one or two, if Homer called him stupid,
• 34:42
  he'd get, you know, dropped down the little shoot in his office
• 34:44
  or something. Yeah, Homer should be afraid to the point where but a
• 34:46
  plane or something like that, you know, maybe not quite that dumb,
• 34:51
  but not just amuly being a jerk. Yeah. And then when he's with
• 34:54
  his family or at Moe's or something like lousy bus or geese stupid. Yeah,
• 35:00
  all that kind of stuff. That's when that's when you grasp the bosses
• 35:01
  is what I do? The lovely Louise bloody damn did we change in recording
• 35:06
  schedule. We're in the House of unwellness today. Yeah. I just had
• 35:12
  a big coughing and I'll probably not as well. You know, I don't
• 35:17
  speak. I'm going to cough. And guys like, hey, this so
• 35:20
  Dad, it is Dad. He is cuffed. More work of za put
• 35:23
  put put a clip in there, Dad. Guy Zacha edited a message me
• 35:29
  and he was like, can you please leave that incau. It's hilarious that
• 35:30
  guys trying to teach you how to edit the podcast. That's how I left
• 35:34
  it in so you can hear the confusion on your face through your voices.
• 35:42
  I could visualize your face in that moment, going did he just do that?
• 35:45
  What the hell? I wasn't bothered, but I was just like,
• 35:47
  I know it just me or three mind after five years doing the show in
• 35:55
  the moment, it's not. I was talking some of our podcast have you
• 35:58
  listened to this thing? And when it was that happening? So I was
• 36:00
  like, probably could be there. And then when I say, you're like
• 36:04
  it was the first off had the gust to say something. But yeah,
• 36:08
  let us talking. Sife the Virgin episode is available right now on our Patreon
• 36:12
  if you want to hear a guy get totally embarrassed to this show every week.
• 36:20
  But yeah, so on the plane, sot Lina's there, then they
• 36:22
  watching scratchy line of Richie rocks up and he says, say, you say,
• 36:23
  maybe he replaces me with beer. I believe it was fine. Yeah,
• 36:29
  that's what it was. I didn't mind. Now I forgot the lyrics,
• 36:30
  you know, but it just felt like, hey, Linel Richie's around.
• 36:34
  Let's just shoehorn him into the episode, and you know they would have
• 36:37
  had Linel Ritchie this week on The Simpsons. Hey, by the way,
• 36:39
  also Stephen Colbert on The Simpsons. No, why don't you listen to the
• 36:45
  musical standings of mister Lionel Richie? Oh my god, Lionel Richie? Can
• 36:49
  you sing? Say you say me? But make it about beer? Sure?
• 36:52
  I guess, Hey you bear me, bear me for always. That's
• 36:59
  the way it should be. Hey, you beer me beer us together naturally.
• 37:07
  No, make every word beer beer beer beer beer beer beer beer beer
• 37:15
  beer. Wait, I forget the words. Ah, they landed Chicago home.
• 37:21
  Doesn't want to get the plan because he would have felt like a regular
• 37:22
  person. Mister trivia question, what's that? What was the plane's call sign?
• 37:28
  Something five to three or something? Yeah, November five, four to
• 37:30
  three, Charlie four three, Charlie. What do you think of Lana saying
• 37:34
  love you as he gets off the plane? No point to it, Yeah,
• 37:37
  no point to it, and her mouse didn't move, so it's obviously
• 37:37
  something' added in later They're gone, we need to throw something in here.
• 37:40
  Love you? What that? Why? Yeah? I don't know. I
• 37:44
  think the extracted to get him off the plane. Then it's just them going
• 37:46
  through Chicago. Different signs yet the fairest Bueller, frest Bueller's Day of Beauty.
• 37:52
  Yes, and then they go to the Ferres and Cameron. Yes,
• 37:55
  they go to the Improv which is dead Castlenetta and Stephen Colbert apparently both got
• 38:01
  their start at Second City, did they? Ah? Okay? Well,
• 38:05
  deck Asen it was the actual person here. Ah, he was the one
• 38:07
  hosting. Yeah, that was down there, a drunk of billionaire Starbucks in
• 38:12
  Siberia. I thought I liked the piss take of improv in Siberia. But
• 38:17
  Homer, actually I should have put this one of my favorite bits because he
• 38:21
  really did speak for all of us, and personally, I have respect that
• 38:28
  I respect for certain things when they've done well. Improv is one of them.
• 38:30
  It's often not done well. And I came here to relax. You
• 38:36
  think of it? Why are you pointing? We wrote it. We wrote
• 38:38
  that that's great. I thought that was very, very runny. But Second
• 38:42
  City is apparently well. It's ramtation speaks for itself. But I imagine that
• 38:46
  for every Dan Sea or Stephen Sea that has come out of Second City,
• 38:51
  one hundred ninety nine baristas in Siberia. Yes, do you say barista?
• 38:57
  I say barista, I say barrister, but only when I'm in court.
• 39:00
  Yes, while, uh so, while that while you were here, we
• 39:04
  felt like New York. They structed. Then drops her off from home.
• 39:07
  He smells like Chicago. That was actually kind of funny, because, yeah,
• 39:09
  the Chicago, well, hence the name Second City. Yes, Homer,
• 39:15
  you smell like Chicago. Did you fly there in a commercial airline?
• 39:20
  No way commercial. It's for loosers and terrorists. I flew on a private
• 39:23
  plane. Wow. Is it much different from a normal plane. Please tell
• 39:29
  me you're joking. It's the difference between champagne and carbonated Peaie, what's wrong?
• 39:36
  I hit it all for one night. Now for the rest of my
• 39:38
  life, I'll know what I'm missing, and all I have to remember it
• 39:40
  by is that my ears haven't popped. Well, I'll make sure that I
• 39:45
  never yawn. I guess, hey, Homer. Homer arrives, and he
• 39:52
  lets the cast smash through the house because he's depressed and sad. And then
• 39:54
  a fresh face arrives and apparently marches high Kobe Krauss to get his life on
• 39:59
  track, and I've gone, wtf as Marche done this? What a pointless
• 40:04
  this? This is such lazy writing. How can we get him into his
• 40:06
  life? Marge is just gonna help him home and get his life back on
• 40:07
  track. His life wasn't off the track. He just needs to get out,
• 40:12
  wake up to himself. Just a bit glum anyway, but makes a
• 40:15
  joke about his body double being Uncle Fester, so he hits him because the
• 40:19
  cameras aren't on yet. How do you feel about actual slaps on the back
• 40:22
  of the head versus the traditional choking, because I was kind of like,
• 40:25
  I mean, that's not necessarily a w TWEF moment or a you'll die by
• 40:29
  suicide moment, but it's I just think hits in general just past it now
• 40:32
  as well. But the choking just felt so cartoonish that it wasn't a fence
• 40:37
  but say send him, hit him. It just felt like, oh,
• 40:37
  you're just assulting him now. But they you know, he says, do
• 40:40
  what you normally do, and he doesn't know what to do, so he
• 40:43
  just shows him relish trade for insurance purposes, doesn't I didn't get that I
• 40:46
  needed to die, I'm sure there's a reason doesn't want to put the socks
• 40:49
  on though, because he's gonna have to take him off in a week.
• 40:51
  Yeah. So we're reaching the stage where jokes, well not even reaching where
• 40:54
  things like that are being recycled, I mean homes homes and said, what's
• 40:58
  the point of going out? We're only going to come back home? Yeah,
• 41:00
  which is really the perfect better than that, the perfect version of that
• 41:02
  jokes everyone can relate to. Yeah, you feel like they were sitting in
• 41:06
  the writer's room, you know, he had these very very smart people gong.
• 41:10
  Okay, what's the perfect distillation of that feeling when it's like why clean
• 41:15
  the windows? They're only going to get dirty again. We need to find
• 41:19
  the exact right way to phrase it, and like, why go out when
• 41:22
  we're only going to go home again? That nailed it. That's the best
• 41:23
  way it really is. And it's just home is a slub white with socks
• 41:28
  on. And he says, remember the NDC's never don't concentrate and what was
• 41:32
  this? So Bart then kicks him in the ass and he says, do
• 41:35
  you want to get a better shot of that? And he says, I
• 41:36
  want to get some background noise and It's like four seconds of just nothing.
• 41:40
  I was just WTF. I've got my notes? Yeah, what is going
• 41:45
  on here? He's putting stables into his own head? Yeah? What does
• 41:50
  this have to do with being sad about? She asked? What is the
• 41:53
  point of this episode? What is the actual point? I imagine the Simpsons
• 41:58
  movie was quite successful, and they've got eighteen years of a successful show behind
• 42:00
  them, so hey, let's go for the nineteen. Anyway, was now
• 42:05
  at the Bowling Alley and he realizes here that this is where he thrives.
• 42:07
  Yes, he's very much Fred Flintstone twickle toes. Yeah he was. He
• 42:12
  was in his element at the bowling Alley. What is now the equivalent of
• 42:15
  the bowling Alley now because that was the internet? Yeah, well where a
• 42:20
  guy goes to sort of be this element. It's not the pub, really
• 42:22
  is It's not the bullying is there because we have bowling alleys new But people
• 42:25
  don't really go that's hanging out with the boys anymore, you know. No,
• 42:29
  No, I mean there's an article in the I forgot which paper,
• 42:32
  but talking about the necessity for the third space, which we don't really have
• 42:37
  anymore. So, I mean people work home and somewhere people go home,
• 42:39
  they go to work, and you've got to have that place where you hang
• 42:42
  out, where you do nothing your mos. Yeah, and you know there
• 42:45
  are places like that, like coffee shops in that, but they've also been
• 42:50
  by barristers, people sitting at the laptops like you, why are you working
• 42:57
  in my coffee shop? I meant a sipo lato do funk all yeah,
• 43:00
  and I'm gonna be noisy. How do you expect to write the wrote Australian
• 43:05
  novel here? Or you know, balance is spreadshipt? Your balance of spreadshirt?
• 43:07
  I don't know. I've got no idea spread them? What was that
• 43:13
  is there? An Adam said? Spread notes? It's get them Rex,
• 43:15
  isn't it? What's the what was that one? Skidding? Rex? It
• 43:19
  wasundies yes, and it was ants and the answer crawling all over shall I
• 43:25
  say mound? Yeah, answer crawl all over this woman's areas. And then
• 43:31
  she had a little land eat called Rex sick and Rex and then Rex just
• 43:35
  went to work and she smiled and it's like, oh, hey, you
• 43:37
  know, you knew you become a man when you understood that commercial. And
• 43:43
  then you meet a girl who said Rex I'm gonta marry that guy. But
• 43:47
  this is where Homer, he know, he's just he is in his element.
• 43:51
  Now. Actually we've got a WT moment to mentioned here. So this
• 43:53
  is where he says, you need to get bowling Ali Homer to every Day
• 43:55
  Homer, right, bullying Ali Homer to every Day Hammer. And Lenny will
• 44:00
  and he goes just like my aunt who is now an uncle. No one
• 44:01
  says anything, and his walks off, and I'm thinking, what happened to
• 44:05
  Lenny? You've fucked Lenny. Lenny used to be the character that everyone felt
• 44:08
  in the Golden Ear. I'm probably more like Lennon and anyone else. He
• 44:12
  just feels like the guy that's just like the pal. You know, he
• 44:14
  seems like a good guy. You know, he's probably a bit of a
• 44:16
  bit of an easy beat, but you know, he just seems lovable.
• 44:19
  He's always there for you. Now he's just his widow. There's this weird
• 44:22
  relationship with Carl and he's cruel to the kids, and it's just what's going
• 44:27
  on? What the fuck happened with Lenny? It's just you ruined. You
• 44:30
  knew the Simpsons had gone downhill when you fucked up Lenny. Lenny was unfuckable
• 44:32
  and you fucked him. Fuck that up. I don't know. I was
• 44:37
  just this moment here, just let me go on what has happened to Lenny?
• 44:39
  No Lenny that we get the montage and Homer wearing his bowling shoes,
• 44:45
  and then I went, wait a minute, it's not a montage. It's
• 44:46
  just stapling correctly and having sex with March. It goes second, Yeah,
• 44:50
  it's and that's it. And I wonder, yeah, I wonder how many
• 44:53
  scenes it takes to constitute a montage. I think reny seconds, because this
• 44:59
  was what two or three It was two clips that go for about less than
• 45:01
  ten seconds in total. Okay, so it was a stapling and the second
• 45:05
  that's it. Yeah, that's it. The shoes needed to play a bigger
• 45:08
  part in the in the story you're right on with. He wears the shoes,
• 45:13
  feels confident, loses the shoes, loses self confidence, realize she would
• 45:16
  have realized that the shoes were in him all along. Yeah, it's like
• 45:20
  this Michael Special stuff in space jam Oh in like Mike Oh spiralte space.
• 45:23
  You know when they give them that you probably forgot. We did it for
• 45:25
  the movie guys. But they bugs band against the water bottle and it's Michael
• 45:30
  special stuff and they think, yeah, I'm a good basketball player. There's
• 45:32
  like it was just water. It was in you all along. Just watch
• 45:37
  Space Jam and make this it was there. I love Dano doing his It
• 45:43
  sounded like Williams. It was in you on the lone. That would have
• 45:47
  been a casting choice William Shatner instead of it could have been Wayne Knight's character.
• 45:52
  Wouldn't have worked, but it would have been a choice. It's such
• 45:55
  a random mishmash that cast Wayne Knight, Billorry, Michael Jordan, good movie.
• 46:04
  Home of Those Splace Jam a new legacy. He just randomly. Now
• 46:07
  I've got how and why are all these companies now wanting to hire Homer?
• 46:09
  What? How? Why? What has he done? Here's the thing though,
• 46:15
  again sort of a WTF moments? What's his name? Kobe Kraus.
• 46:19
  Yes, I've found all that. I've found all these places that want to
• 46:22
  hire you. You assume that he's done the work, but not these places
• 46:23
  are not. These people are coming to Colby and saying, we hear good
• 46:28
  things about this homeless Simpson. We'd like to give him a job. Kolby's
• 46:30
  clearly done some work here and later on I'm not very good at this,
• 46:35
  It's like, but you actually are not bad at it? All the fuck
• 46:38
  is going on? I don't know man to bring me in here today,
• 46:42
  man, but handyman's choice. He picks them because they've got the plane.
• 46:45
  The publicly apparently the whole story of this is he wants to about what he's
• 46:49
  hooked on private planes. But it's just so shit. But that's not actually
• 46:52
  the story. Yeah, I mean, that's not the story. Again,
• 46:55
  I'm going to ding play Devil's advocate. I like the idea of I've flown
• 47:02
  on a private I've flown on a private plane. Everything else is going to
• 47:06
  seem kind of lackluster as a result. Now you've got to keep it in
• 47:09
  the background as like, oh, I wouldn't be gratify I could fly in
• 47:13
  a private plane all the time and maybe happen as a little bit of motif
• 47:15
  throughout the episode, you know, he's constantly looking up in the air,
• 47:19
  or he's sort of he's he's seen how the other half lives. Yeah,
• 47:22
  I mean, I think that's an I think that's a concept that everyone can
• 47:24
  relate to. But eventually it's it's not a matter of sort of like settling
• 47:30
  for what you've got, but being satisfied, knowing love the world you're with,
• 47:34
  Yeah, lovely, knowing what you're can achieve, finding satisfaction and fulfillment
• 47:38
  in the life that you have, being realistic and being realistic as well.
• 47:42
  Set goals, go for them by all means, but don't base your whole
• 47:45
  life around that. I mean that, I think that's the lesson that you
• 47:46
  should have maybe picked up by the end. Did he but think learns lessons?
• 47:51
  In season nineteen, I think we're passed Homer learning lessons. I think
• 47:53
  it's just being how to cannibal. But then Colby calls Burns to say he's
• 47:59
  gonna be working for him anymore, and it's like, okay, so the
• 48:01
  phone's still inside him, except how did he send it to voicemail? He's
• 48:05
  sort of pointing, putting a stick down his throat, So do we know
• 48:08
  if he's actually quit or not or the fuck knows? Man? So he
• 48:13
  apparently you think he gets the job, but I like a little bait and
• 48:15
  switch there where you think he's got the job but he hasn't, So we
• 48:19
  get the others you tried there because they thought he was going to fail,
• 48:22
  and he didn't. And timas first day and he drives past the place and
• 48:24
  he goes to Krusty Beer and you're like, oh, I see he didn't
• 48:28
  get the job. I thought the joke was just going to be he couldn't
• 48:30
  write his name. Ah, so if you can write your name and I
• 48:32
  can read it, you've got the job. And then he did hold it
• 48:36
  in such a terrible word. It's like him yes, But so I thought
• 48:38
  that that could have been just a joke in itself. It's like he didn't
• 48:40
  he couldn't even do that. And here's the point, or here's the thing.
• 48:44
  He's become so confident this stage, that becomes overconfident, and that's when
• 48:47
  he calls someone an authority an idiot as opposed to being on the plane.
• 48:52
  You can't read Homer's terrible handwriting, it's Homer, you idiot, and doesn't
• 48:57
  get the job. As a result, maybe this this podcast can now be
• 49:00
  us fixing the episodes, making them watchable. I didn't think. I didn't.
• 49:06
  It didn't quite fit with the episode. But it was a nicely sort
• 49:08
  of put together moment where he's like, give me a coffee and all those
• 49:12
  mazes and he sort of does the same. And the music they used was
• 49:15
  like, oh, this is actually a bit touching. It's from something that
• 49:19
  music I'm sure. Well I can't remember the exact music, but it's yeah,
• 49:23
  one it's not clear to learn as no, I don't know anyway,
• 49:27
  So it was embarrassed and we've all I mean, there have been so many
• 49:31
  stories about people who have either been laid off, laid off or didn't get
• 49:36
  the job that they thought they were going to get, but they're too ashamed
• 49:38
  to tell their partner, and so they go somewhere all day and just do
• 49:43
  nothing or apply for other jobs in the meantime. And it makes him more
• 49:45
  relatable here because he writes something. He's like, look happy, you know,
• 49:47
  So there's there's there's a story. We always say there's a story here
• 49:51
  somewhere, but you just obviously didn't have enough time resources. I don't know.
• 49:55
  But he lies to them, tells and he's had a great day.
• 49:58
  Babah blah. I did my job and way consistent with what I already told
• 50:00
  you. Well that was not a bad line. Yeah, but you go
• 50:02
  to Krusty Bergger the next day and all the schoolkids are there because they got
• 50:06
  kicked out of the pettings or something because I don't rode the total naked or
• 50:08
  something whatever. Then they get the freak fry freak fry look out different you
• 50:15
  you die of suicide. I don't know if I'm happy with this being a
• 50:22
  joke in a Simpson's episode with kids. I don't know. Maybe I'm just
• 50:25
  being becoming a Karen. But I'm just watching this going You're becoming a Darren.
• 50:30
  Yeah, I'm becoming a Darren. But the thing is I'm looking at
• 50:32
  through twenty twenty four eyes. True, that's the thing, but still it
• 50:37
  rubbed me the wrong way hearing the words suicide. I get where you're coming
• 50:39
  from. I didn't think it was necessarily a funny joke. That doesn't think
• 50:44
  if it's funny, I can go with it. But it wasn't even funny.
• 50:46
  I wasn't annoyed by. I just thought, really that's what you went
• 50:49
  with. Go with something more funny, but yeah, less inflammatory. Yeah,
• 50:53
  I thought, just did the Wishblane thing where just like make a wish
• 50:55
  and have now some punishment to go with the go with the classics. He
• 51:01
  explains to Barty that he didn't get the job, and busses, we need
• 51:05
  to tell it because you've been buying brand name groceries and things like that,
• 51:07
  and also the eye poking whatever. Yeah. Yeah, I'm trying to determine
• 51:13
  if these jokes are no good by themselves or they're perfectly okay gags that would
• 51:17
  work in an episode that was generally better. I watched this episode twice because
• 51:22
  the first time I watched it, I went, that was not good.
• 51:23
  I watched it again the second time, and I went, it wasn't much
• 51:25
  better than what I thought that the first time around. Okay, Yeah,
• 51:29
  sometimes I watch it late at night and I think maybe I was just tired.
• 51:30
  I watched it again this morning, and he was still tired. I
• 51:32
  was still tired, you know, be cause my dad. But still I
• 51:35
  just thought this episode just wasn't wasn't up to scratch for a season premiere,
• 51:38
  let's put it that way. But he explains why he got fired because he
• 51:43
  was just why did he get fired? Again? He was, yeah,
• 51:45
  he didn't know anything about do you know anything about copee you? Yeah,
• 51:47
  just give me the joke, yes, and just doesn't go to plan.
• 51:51
  Yeah, and he sort of man handles the rich Texan. So he calls
• 51:53
  Marge to tell her the truth. This may be sad, I should never
• 51:58
  get my hopes of because nothing ever works out for us. Something don't remind
• 52:00
  us. Yeah, because that's the truth. It makes her life feel miserable.
• 52:06
  I don't want to feel miserable for Marge. No, we know that
• 52:08
  things don't necessarily go right for her, but for her to acknowledge it like
• 52:10
  so outly you went, man, Her life isn't great, is it.
• 52:14
  No, she's just like a broken, beaten down Yeah, just been given
• 52:19
  up, downtrodden by life. Not good anchor of a human being that she's
• 52:23
  aligned herself. Yeah. So she lies, and Homo lies and says that
• 52:27
  the company wants them to take the private plane to New York. And he
• 52:30
  pays this guy to take margage to the air and says, semper fudge,
• 52:32
  which is from what well the Marines logo was simplified, Yeah, which I
• 52:37
  believe means always faithful. And they've said super fudge on The Simpsons before.
• 52:40
  I'm like, oh, you're going with that gig again, super fudge.
• 52:45
  The last thing I want to do is get the wrath of any Marines out
• 52:49
  there, So I'm going to find out what sympathy actually means. Frank yak
• 52:52
  and type fudge. It means always faithful. I was right, Yeah,
• 52:58
  yes, it doesn't happen here. The then just my motto should be semper
• 53:00
  fudge. At that point he told me to relax. It was Larry Burns
• 53:05
  h When they get they have them sort of like, you know, mister
• 53:08
  Bens brings in the people to say, what can you do with him?
• 53:10
  So they've used the separate fudge joke before, again rehashing jokes, just not
• 53:15
  in a good way. Not in a good way. No, So he
• 53:17
  takes them to the air. The pilot has a heroin overdose. I'm like,
• 53:21
  what is happening? Yeah, I don't think it was flying today,
• 53:22
  So now I took some heroin? Was that ever funny? In the writer's
• 53:27
  room, how was that funny? I think they're probably like, I don't
• 53:30
  care about over I'm not offended. Again, that's not funny. I imagine
• 53:34
  their reminders like, oh you hear about pilots being drunk. That I imagine
• 53:37
  if one was high on heroin? What not funny? Homer takes over.
• 53:43
  I did like the what's the ocean doing in the sky and he takes over
• 53:46
  calls. Kobe reveals here that he's not very a good life coach. He's
• 53:51
  got a microwave dinner, and then he almost crashed into the blimp, successfully
• 53:55
  lands the plane and then drives into the water because he has the taxi to
• 53:59
  the term all. Then he says he's going to beg Burns for his job
• 54:01
  back and I thought, oh, this is like the first time forever they've
• 54:04
  actually knows he's going to go back to Burns for his job. Marj being
• 54:07
  a real doormat. Yeah, and Lisa is saying, maybe we can put
• 54:10
  some of the extra money aside, and he's like, no, you'd think
• 54:13
  so, but no, not gonna happen. I smirk slightly. You'd think
• 54:16
  so, but no. I mean it's a real escape hatch line. And
• 54:21
  Lionel Richie is weighing them down because he's holding on to his American Music Awards.
• 54:24
  And that's the end of the episode and season premiere. Not great.
• 54:29
  This is what season nineteen is gonna give us. I'm not looking forward to
• 54:31
  it. I'm looking forward to a bit of that. There's gonna be good
• 54:34
  ones in there. I know they can't. This wasn't a terrible episode.
• 54:37
  It was just I'm going it was already blah. I just felt like,
• 54:40
  you've got his premise here, Why are you doing more with it? Yes?
• 54:44
  And I don't know when you start a race, Yes, you want
• 54:46
  to start on the right foot. This was not what do we learn,
• 54:50
  Bomber? I learned that American music awards are quite heavy, especially you have
• 54:55
  a few of them. But us did I learn? I learned Chicago diep
• 54:58
  dish piece. There's like a keish, but real men don't ekecies. That's
• 55:01
  what I like all that. Lionel Richie is very open to rewriting his lyrics.
• 55:07
  Yes for the fans. I also one of the Crazy Johns had six
• 55:09
  hundred stores at one point in Australia. Vota Phone stepped in. Yes,
• 55:15
  stam Vodaphone, d forward, your name will be all right. It is
• 55:20
  time for the first edition of the New Name Championship for season nineteen, the
• 55:24
  Guy Davis New Name Championship. Of course, as always, I sent through
• 55:29
  the list to Guy. He picks his best ones. And what happened is
• 55:32
  something happened a bit more often now, Guy, So we're going to change
• 55:35
  the rules a little bit here for the Guy Davis New Name Championship, because
• 55:37
  otherwise it was becoming in it was it possible it was going to become the
• 55:40
  Philip J. Horbens. That's what happens. This is what happened. The
• 55:44
  guy sent me through the three one two three, and they're all from the
• 55:45
  same person. So I went, look, we can't have that, all
• 55:50
  right, so pick the highest one. So basically what the rule is going
• 55:52
  to be now is pick two. You can now send in two entries,
• 55:54
  because otherwise they're going to get eight entries from one person and one person from
• 55:59
  one from another and doesn't seem fair to do it that way. I know
• 56:00
  you're putting in the effort, but pick your two best ones a maximum of
• 56:05
  two, maximum of two, because otherwise we just get guy picking the same
• 56:08
  person over and over again. This week. It wasn't actually Philip JA Hawgan's
• 56:12
  getting the same one over and over again. It's actually somebody else. So
• 56:14
  sending your two best entries and hopefully one of those gets selected for the New
• 56:17
  Dame Championship and saying that, mister Davis, what were your three to two
• 56:22
  one four? This week? Uh? One point goes to Private Fly That
• 56:28
  would be first time ever in the New Name Championship. Matt Collins, well
• 56:30
  done, Hello, Matt Collins, enjoy your point. I've got Mac Collings
• 56:35
  in here. That's Matt Collins. See I'm looking on on Facebook. It's
• 56:37
  Mac Collins, not Collings. I'll change it now in my New Name leader
• 56:39
  board, Matt Collins, well done. So well you got a point,
• 56:44
  but you also get insolved by Dando again, which is worth a point in
• 56:46
  itself. Number two number two, two points goes to Ready gets it.
• 56:52
  That is Philip j. Hawkins. Oh he's back. Yes, so two
• 56:59
  points for Philip Jay Hawkins there, which means it's a new number three this
• 57:01
  week. Oh my gosh. Kick off the season with a bang. Who's
• 57:04
  number three? Three points goes to saving Private Flying. Now this guy here
• 57:10
  a bit of a dark horse last season, he was coming home with a
• 57:14
  bang. It's Adam Woolhouse. I feel like Philip Jay's got some competition this
• 57:17
  season. Oh you're gonna get woolhoused. Yes, so girl, Old Woolhouse.
• 57:22
  Adam Wolhouse on three, Philip Jay Hawkens on two, Matt Collins on
• 57:24
  one. Don't forget guys going forward sending two entries. Pick you two best
• 57:29
  ones and hopefully they get selected by guy. And remember he doesn't see the
• 57:31
  names before he selects the actual title. So pick your two best ones and
• 57:35
  hopefully he picks one of them. Damn, it won't show me. No
• 57:38
  bail is here. Okay, mister Davis, it is time for the mail
• 57:44
  bag. Let's open it up. First question comes from our man, Andrew
• 57:49
  JP, still with US season nineteen. Well, I did name check him
• 57:52
  in the actual Oh did you? That would be? What? So?
• 57:55
  Most favorite and least favorite talk show hosts for him? Most favorite is a
• 58:00
  tie between Conan and Craig Ferguson, which is what I agree with. Least
• 58:02
  favorite James Corden, which is what I agree with. Andrew JP is speaking
• 58:07
  our language here. Yeah, I don't think many of us are fans of
• 58:09
  Cordon. I haven't seen a whole lot of his actual talk show. I've
• 58:15
  seen a bit of carpool Carriok. That's his right, That's just that's what
• 58:17
  it is. It's all yeah, sticks, it's the same of Falon Now.
• 58:20
  It's all just fake laughing and skits. Yeah, he did song miming
• 58:24
  or something, wasn't it like mimming rap or something, yeah, which I
• 58:27
  didn't mind. It had some really fallon, got some good ones on that.
• 58:30
  Yeah. But then it gets to a pot me and go, oh
• 58:31
  this is all it is. Now, it's just celebrity stunt. This is
• 58:35
  all you do. Okay, So you you're just your pals with This is
• 58:38
  the thing. The best talk show hosts are best friends with the guests.
• 58:43
  No, look at let Himan for example, right, let him was great
• 58:45
  because he didn't give a fuck mate, you know if we didn't like it,
• 58:49
  let you know. Yeah, and he would be genuinely contemptuous of people
• 58:52
  who he thought, why are you won my show? And I think people
• 58:54
  respected that, Oh yeah yeah. And to be Fallon you watch half the
• 58:59
  time think I don't think they respect Falon at all. No, I don't
• 59:02
  know what was k fable not. There's a the company, No, a
• 59:07
  great fucking David copany bit is a clip on YouTube where it's Jimmy Fallon every
• 59:13
  time he fake laughs, right, and it's one with the company is telling
• 59:15
  a story and Falon just goes and hits it. He hits the desk and
• 59:19
  Tommy's laughing and the company is just looking at me and going, you can
• 59:22
  let me finished. That wasn't the funny bit. You just look at me.
• 59:24
  You can see all the cogs in his head going, what the Fuck's
• 59:27
  up with this guy? It's just it's great. It's worth checking that out.
• 59:30
  I will check that out. There's the bit that I was thinking of
• 59:32
  is when he had Steve Martin and Martin short On and Martin short Well,
• 59:38
  he seems like a very very nice guy, but also someone who does take
• 59:42
  a bit of pleasure and sinking the show. Yeah, he seems a bit
• 59:44
  of a bit. And he said something like, so Fallon, Yeah,
• 59:47
  he said this, Fallin something like, you're the best on late night talk
• 59:52
  talk shows because no one pretends to care as much as well as you do.
• 59:57
  It's like, this could go either way. It could be KFA,
• 1:00:05
  but it also could be that they were discussing the backstage Yeah, but they
• 1:00:08
  were also I was actually quite pastoral of the whole lip syncing challenge then.
• 1:00:15
  I mean, everyone seemed to You've got a whole generation of young women who
• 1:00:19
  seem to love Tom Holland doing Rihanna's umbrella because it was a very yeah,
• 1:00:23
  stylized choreograph thing, and he was dressed in drag, and all that kind
• 1:00:28
  of things like, oh they were young hero. It was right time,
• 1:00:30
  right place because it was the new version of a talk show host, where
• 1:00:32
  so the Internet was sort of still growing things like that, and we went
• 1:00:37
  quite with YouTube shorts. That wasn't a thing yet, TikTok wasn't a thing,
• 1:00:39
  but we started realizing, oh, we like people like watching things in
• 1:00:43
  bits. Now They're not going to sit there and watch a six minute interview
• 1:00:45
  with you know, Jimmy Fallon talk, but they watch Jimmy Fallon doing a
• 1:00:49
  skit. YEA. When I think of Fellon though, there's a there was
• 1:00:52
  a bit where he had Nicole Kidman on and Cole Kipman was kind of like,
• 1:00:53
  oh, I had a bit of a crushing it, said Jim,
• 1:00:55
  and Jim's like what. And you compare that with a bit with Kinnon and
• 1:00:59
  O'Brien when they're doing the sucking blow thing. Have you ever seen there's you
• 1:01:02
  know, that game Sucking Blow where you've got a bit of paper and you
• 1:01:05
  you've got to test yeah, and someone will basically kiss you and suck it
• 1:01:08
  off your off your face and it's the modeling actor Rebecca remain a bout the
• 1:01:16
  time that she was in the X Men. The tall statue was blonde,
• 1:01:19
  just gorgeous, and they're doing and she goes to do it with Conan,
• 1:01:23
  and Conan is sort of like really leaning in for a kiss, like he's
• 1:01:28
  really over and he's playing it. He's doing the sort of dopey kind of
• 1:01:30
  it, like why would anyone go for this tall, lanky, redhead goofers,
• 1:01:35
  And then she gives him an actual, like just just a quick kiss
• 1:01:37
  and the slow burn that he has where he's kind of like, oh,
• 1:01:42
  did that just happen? Did that just happen? He's like dumb struck.
• 1:01:45
  And then he's like yeah and picking up a chair and throwing it around and
• 1:01:52
  no one, no one expected. I mean you can tell that she's just
• 1:01:54
  like, oh my god, he's really just going so well. Yeah,
• 1:01:58
  Andrew JP is right, Conan is great. But for someone in my era,
• 1:02:00
  I remember seeing some Carson when I was a kid. Yeah, I
• 1:02:02
  never had a Carson, and led Himan made me fall in love with talk
• 1:02:06
  show hosts. Yeah, Letterman was the one for me. And then I
• 1:02:07
  got older, I thought Conan feels like if I was given my own talk
• 1:02:10
  show. Very much, it felt like just one of the guys who was
• 1:02:14
  just like, you have your own show. That's what it felt like when
• 1:02:15
  it's the great thing, I mean, the great thing about Condan sort of
• 1:02:19
  the current resurgence I think in the wake of the Hot Ones thing as well,
• 1:02:22
  and people go out this clip, check out this clip, and there's
• 1:02:24
  so much imagination in the stuff that he was doing on his on his talk
• 1:02:29
  track that was very much there apparent to let him and it's, yeah,
• 1:02:31
  just a damn shame that he got screwed over the way you did. But
• 1:02:37
  you know, he came out on top. Trust me, he definitely did
• 1:02:39
  my favorite talk show segment in the last ten years. Maybe I might miss
• 1:02:44
  me more. I don't know how long it was, but Robin Williams on
• 1:02:46
  Craig Ferguson show, have you ever seen that? I never have mate,
• 1:02:50
  So basically it's you know, he's got his Q cards there Ferguson and Robin
• 1:02:52
  william comes out and they're his best buddies. In her case, No rips
• 1:02:55
  the Q cars up, throws him away and goes let's just talk, and
• 1:02:58
  it's just like twenty minutes of these two guys just riffing. Oh, it's
• 1:03:01
  unbelievable. Like I'm going to send you a link. It's it's it's classic,
• 1:03:06
  it's it's fucking so good. But yeah, Coonon O'Brian. I remember
• 1:03:08
  when I watched Conan and let them and host to watch them all the time
• 1:03:10
  and late night. That's where I learned to interview because I watched these guys
• 1:03:15
  and I'm going, they're not just talking, they're listening. Oh yeah,
• 1:03:17
  and the guest is speaking, and you can tell they're listening to what they're
• 1:03:22
  saying and they're responding to what they're saying. They've probably got questions in front
• 1:03:24
  of them as a backup, But that's where I learned. Yeah, questions,
• 1:03:27
  your notes a backup. Just converse with people, you know, when
• 1:03:30
  you're interviewing somebody. So many times listen to like radio DJs, cut your
• 1:03:35
  cookie cutter ones and they're just like, oh yeah, cool, and tell
• 1:03:37
  us about this, oh and what about this one. It's like we're actually
• 1:03:39
  listening to what they responded to the last one. Listen to what they're saying
• 1:03:42
  and fucking respond to that. True. Look, there are occasions when you
• 1:03:45
  know you're part of the PR machine and yeah, you've got to all right,
• 1:03:49
  we need to cover this, this, this, and this, and
• 1:03:52
  we've only got a handful of we've only got a short amount of time to
• 1:03:53
  do that. Just do it at the end. But it's often, yeah,
• 1:03:57
  often, I mean ninety nine percent of the time better when yeah,
• 1:04:00
  you're having a legit conversation, and that's often when you'll get really good material.
• 1:04:03
  I love it. I thrive on when you hear. You can tell
• 1:04:06
  when you've asked a question and the person who is being interviewed, who you're
• 1:04:11
  interviewing, has gone. You can tell the gone, that's a good question.
• 1:04:14
  They might not actually say that's a good question. You can tell their
• 1:04:15
  thinking in their head. That's what I love. Yeah, I mean,
• 1:04:18
  and you can tell, I mean if you've done it a few times,
• 1:04:20
  which you haven't and I have as well. I mean, you'll get people
• 1:04:24
  who are not necessarily stalling for time, but they'll say that's a good question.
• 1:04:28
  It's like, yeah, it's not. They don't mean it in the
• 1:04:30
  way like oh, you've asked me a good question, like oh that's a
• 1:04:33
  good question, yeah, good question. Yeah. But you can tell when
• 1:04:38
  they're in pr mod like you said, and when they're just talking to you,
• 1:04:40
  and that moment when you feel like you've I've got them now, and
• 1:04:43
  the interview is always better after that moment. Absolutely, it's like you've won
• 1:04:45
  their respect. That's as an interview. That's just me anyway. I thrive
• 1:04:48
  on that, all right. Next question here, Harrison McClure. Have either
• 1:04:51
  of you guys ever been on a work related trip? If so, what
• 1:04:54
  was the best work related trip? No, I can't say I have.
• 1:04:58
  I've been on a few. Yeah, y, your job, wasn't it?
• 1:05:00
  Yeah? Yeah? I mean but Dante Fasco donte Pasco, yeah,
• 1:05:04
  Rio, yes, yeah, you would tell me yesterday wrote down a limo
• 1:05:09
  would the guy? Was that work related? That was work related? Yeah?
• 1:05:13
  Well what I say, Fasco? What an idiot. It's understanding it
• 1:05:16
  became a fiasco. Maybe it certainly did. But that's a story for another
• 1:05:20
  time. Yeah, in the mid two thousands. Yeah, I've been running
• 1:05:26
  about TV for a little while. Is this the true Blood? Guys?
• 1:05:29
  That was one of them, certainly, because I've got a few trips to
• 1:05:30
  la Yeah, one to Ireland and one to Africa, which was fantastic,
• 1:05:35
  right Africa? Yeah? Yeah, but the first one, I mean,
• 1:05:40
  someone at Disney got in touch and said, oh, you write about TV
• 1:05:45
  and home entertainment. Yeah, yeah, yeah I do. It was like,
• 1:05:47
  oh, well, we're having a junk in LA for the home video
• 1:05:50
  release of The Incredibles, and you know, would you be interested? I'm
• 1:05:54
  like, what something like doing some phone of yours? Oh no, no,
• 1:05:57
  no, We'll fly you to LA and you can sit it on these
• 1:05:59
  things will fly you. Is like three ways you always want to hear,
• 1:06:02
  so, by which I mean I'm selling out. It felt first of all,
• 1:06:08
  it's like wow, retripped to lands, like oh yeah, and then
• 1:06:11
  you start getting more invationial, You're find me business, you're putting me up
• 1:06:14
  and there's a pretty nice hotel. I've actually got a bit of time in
• 1:06:17
  LA as well as you know, the work that I'm doing. That felt
• 1:06:20
  great, but it also felt I'm sorry to be a bit wank here,
• 1:06:24
  but it felt like, oh I might be doing something right here. You've
• 1:06:27
  get some degree of validation. They chose me. Yeah, well they were
• 1:06:30
  only like I think there were only like two Australians that they flew over,
• 1:06:32
  and it's like nice and yeah. Then got a few more of those and
• 1:06:36
  yeah they were fantastic. I mean the African one was probably the highlight.
• 1:06:42
  It was for National Geographic, went to Kenya, went out to the Massa
• 1:06:45
  Marus. Been a few days at this fantastic I guess Safari Lodge. You're
• 1:06:50
  sort of walking here in the background from the bushes and there's guy Davis.
• 1:06:59
  David just got come watch this overish history in the ecosystem by taking this.
• 1:07:08
  When it comes to voice casting, right, I know it's not a voice
• 1:07:11
  casting, but when it comes to just hiring someone to host a show,
• 1:07:14
  he is like the epitome, right, David doing National Geographic. When he
• 1:07:17
  passes, it'll never be the same, never will it never will be the
• 1:07:19
  same. Who's going to get the gig? Who wants to take over from
• 1:07:24
  David? Attenbo no one? It's like a oh god, probably yeah,
• 1:07:31
  because you can't watch those tacos without his voice. Now. It's very much
• 1:07:35
  like the Queen is dead and now King Charles? Where is he? Where's
• 1:07:40
  he been? Only Charles is getting better about it. He was not not
• 1:07:45
  well, but how many's under He's eating a Michael Wave dinner. I'm not
• 1:07:47
  very good at this as king business. Ah man, Yeah, they were
• 1:07:53
  my well, that was the extent of my work. Trips, But yeah,
• 1:07:57
  the first one was you never forget your first But yeah, the African
• 1:08:00
  one was an absolute blast. Andrew Swan in honor of the Chalkboard gay being,
• 1:08:03
  I will not wait twenty years to make another movie. Do you have
• 1:08:05
  hopes for a sequel in twenty twenty seven? And what would you want to
• 1:08:09
  see in it? I can't say much, but what would I want to
• 1:08:15
  see in the Simpsons movie? Jokes? Hello, Humor? Where are you?
• 1:08:23
  Less Dome, more Hank? All right? You want a story that
• 1:08:27
  incorporates the entire Springfield because they're the best ones. But I think the Dome
• 1:08:31
  aspect for that movie just felt so like the first half an hour of the
• 1:08:34
  Simpsons movie I thought was pretty good. Once they get out of the dome,
• 1:08:38
  it was just lackluster because it focused more on the family. I thought,
• 1:08:41
  Simpsons movie, don't just give us something just about the family. I
• 1:08:44
  think you need to give us something in Springfield, Yeah, about Springfield more
• 1:08:45
  in general. I don't know. Maybe it's just I remember walking out of
• 1:08:48
  it going, yes, all right, but Simpsons movie sequel, I'll come
• 1:08:54
  back to you next week, Andrew. So I'm gonna spend the next week
• 1:08:56
  thinking of a sequel idea. I'll come back to you next week. The
• 1:08:59
  idea. I'm going to spend the next week thinking about how I'm gonna look
• 1:09:02
  it down and go, yeah, that's good. Good idea. David Mott,
• 1:09:05
  which singer would you like to sing to you whilst on a private jet?
• 1:09:10
  And which of their songs would you change the lyrics to make it about
• 1:09:13
  beer. Let's go the first question first. Who would you love to have
• 1:09:15
  sing to you on a private jet? Alive or dead? If just say
• 1:09:18
  you could have pick any time? Jim Morrison, so be me baby.
• 1:09:21
  Oh it's a beer baby, come on baby lager woman? Yeah, like
• 1:09:29
  a woman. Yeah, woke up this morning and got myself with beer.
• 1:09:31
  You wouldn't even have to change the lyrics. Is that just because you'd like
• 1:09:33
  him as a singer or you like him just as a as a personality.
• 1:09:36
  I think it'd be interesting to sort of hang around with that kind of personality.
• 1:09:40
  Yeah, yeah, okay, I don't think he would want to change
• 1:09:42
  your songs. No, who would be a singer that I would want to
• 1:09:46
  incorporate? The obvious one for me is just like Lennon, But I don't
• 1:09:49
  know. But you're more going about who you'd want to meet as opposed to
• 1:09:51
  who you actually want to hear singing. Yeah, who's your favorite singer?
• 1:09:56
  Do you think not just because of who they are? Who's your favorite voice
• 1:09:59
  or who's the voice that you the most. One thing I've always said,
• 1:10:00
  have you heard of David Gray? Yeah? Yeah, I always said if
• 1:10:03
  I was a singer songwriter, would be David Gray. It was a kid.
• 1:10:06
  I loved Macy Gray's voice. She's so different. Oh, thank the
• 1:10:10
  story. There was a back when I was married. I was working in
• 1:10:16
  I think I was working in this Geelong on Melbourne, but I'd applied for
• 1:10:19
  this other job and was in Sydney and there was a possibility that I would
• 1:10:25
  get at a similar kind of job. Yeah, yeah, yeah, And
• 1:10:29
  my wife was like, she didn't want to move. Yeah, And I
• 1:10:32
  think she she had just found worked out and she was really happy with it
• 1:10:34
  and all that kind of stuff. It's saving friends and family too, there's
• 1:10:38
  all that. Yeah, but it especially in the real sort of honeymoon phase
• 1:10:42
  of being together and all that kind of stuff. And I remember hearing the
• 1:10:45
  Macy Gray song I Dry and the video clip, especially where they're running towards
• 1:10:48
  each other in that moment. Yeah, around that time, it's kind of
• 1:10:51
  like how he all you need is love and it's just some weird moment from
• 1:10:55
  your life. It just reminds you of it. Yeah. Yeah, I
• 1:10:57
  remember, and particularly send the clip with running each Other all happen. I
• 1:11:00
  was like, I'm not leaving. I know. She was like, oh,
• 1:11:03
  you know, you go up weekly and come back on weekends and all
• 1:11:05
  that kind of Oh so she wasn't going to make the movie. I don't
• 1:11:06
  think so. No, Yeah, I'm maybe remembering this inaccurately, but I
• 1:11:13
  was just like, yeah, but Masic Ray basically like, no, this
• 1:11:16
  is encapsulating how I'm feeling. Yeah, I'm gonna I'm sticking around. Yeah,
• 1:11:19
  I love movie. Does that to you? Oh yea, absolutely so.
• 1:11:23
  Whenever you still hear that song, you think of that moment. Oh
• 1:11:25
  yeah, but I haven't had I try in a very long time. Play
• 1:11:30
  Justin Williams Season nineteen and beyond is where I fell off watching The Simpsons.
• 1:11:32
  Understandable, justin we hope that's listening to four Thing a discount however, mostly
• 1:11:39
  because my dad had told me. I remember that he had heard that the
• 1:11:41
  movie was the beginning of the end of the series obviously not true. But
• 1:11:44
  where were there ever times you thought or heard the show was coming to an
• 1:11:45
  end. I don't think I remember thinking that the Simpsons movie was going to
• 1:11:49
  be the end. It feels like for the last like ten years, everyone
• 1:11:54
  sort of says, this could be the end of the Simpsons. I don't
• 1:11:56
  think the Simpsons is going to end. I think there's no reason to end.
• 1:12:00
  It's still one of the most watched things on Disney. Plus people still
• 1:12:03
  watch it on Fox. It's the most marketable brand Fox probably owns. Besides
• 1:12:08
  will be the most marketed brands that Fox owns. Simpsons, well, that
• 1:12:11
  they created because that Disney Now is it? I guess, isn't it?
• 1:12:14
  Yeah? I mean I guess Star Wars to some degree, although yeah,
• 1:12:18
  that was Fox, wasn't it. Yeah? It was Fox initially, although
• 1:12:21
  George Lucas sort of owned the market everything now doesn't he That doesn't it?
• 1:12:25
  Yeah? But The Simpsons is one of those shows where people always complaining I
• 1:12:29
  should have ended years ago, but those people an't watch anymore anyway. It
• 1:12:30
  doesn't matter. Don't worry about those people. It's like speaking at Star Wars.
• 1:12:34
  I mean, you've got old school times like myself, like Original Trilogy
• 1:12:38
  for Life, and then you've go people who are really into the prequels,
• 1:12:40
  and now you've got people who are into the new ones, which boggles my
• 1:12:44
  mind. But you know what, those movies weren't made for me, So
• 1:12:46
  that's true, and maybe these most recent episodes of the sims or the most
• 1:12:49
  recent seasons of The Simpsons are not made for people like you and I while
• 1:12:53
  went and watched Return of the Jedi with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra last week and
• 1:12:56
  it was so funny. At the end, the guy doing the conductor right
• 1:12:59
  goes, so, who's going to come for the Phantom Menace? And everyone's
• 1:13:01
  like boo. It was like, we ain't doing that now. Having said
• 1:13:06
  that, I mean, we're not gonna hopefully this show is still going to
• 1:13:09
  be running when we get to season whatever it is of The Simpsons thirty six.
• 1:13:12
  Now up to thirty six, our past halfway now, we'll be like
• 1:13:16
  Barton Homer seeing the itchin scratch that one's a jet. But yeah, we'll
• 1:13:24
  try to view it objectively and offer our two cents on why it works and
• 1:13:28
  white doesn't and all that kind of business. But you mentioned David Attenborough being
• 1:13:32
  replaced by maybe you know, the likes of I think that's what dancing and
• 1:13:38
  Julie Kavna will be replaced by AI versions of themselves as these characters as opposed
• 1:13:44
  to getting new people in. I had a conversation with our man Matt Salmon.
• 1:13:47
  Oh, yeah, I probably shouldn't say it, but I'll tell you
• 1:13:51
  off the air. It's very interesting. There's a middle ground of there that
• 1:13:57
  we'll discuss. I'll tell you off the air. I cannot say this perfectly.
• 1:14:00
  Is that other question? That is all the questions Simpsons Mailbag at gmail
• 1:14:02
  dot com. We did get some questions actually come through. Some messages come
• 1:14:05
  through this week as well, so I'll get into the mailbag Simpsons Mailbag at
• 1:14:09
  gmail dot com. So it comes from Angela Stockovich. Now she's the lovely
• 1:14:13
  lady who sent us all the X Files references for our review of Springfield File.
• 1:14:16
  So, by the way, guys, so every month, now sure,
• 1:14:18
  Guy and I are going to be going back and revisiting some of the
• 1:14:19
  classic episodes or some guests and whatnot. But each month we're going to be
• 1:14:24
  going back in the return of Guy on Springfield on our Patreon where we go
• 1:14:27
  back and revisit the top tier classic episodes and we let the patrons decide which
• 1:14:31
  episodes that is, and this month it was the Springfield File. So if
• 1:14:34
  you want to hear our review of the Springfield Files, that is available right
• 1:14:38
  now on our Patreon channel. But Angela wrote in today our last week sorry,
• 1:14:42
  She wrote, Guy and Dando, just a short note to say that
• 1:14:45
  my last few days have been a bit mentally tough for me, and as
• 1:14:47
  a reflex, I found myself turning on your podcast to listen to the two
• 1:14:50
  of you banter for over an hour is very good for the soul. Thank
• 1:14:54
  you, keep it up. Oh thank you. That's very lovely to get
• 1:14:57
  a messages like that, doesn't it? It really is. Do you hope
• 1:15:00
  you have pulled out of the tailspin? I guess you may have found yourself
• 1:15:04
  in, but we are happy to be here and will continue to be here
• 1:15:09
  for you, Angela and for everyone else. Exactly right, And it's another
• 1:15:12
  one here comes from Asia Asia Aish Asia, Hi down to Hi Guy.
• 1:15:19
  I firstly love the podcast. It has been a great way to start my
• 1:15:21
  day. And idea popped into my head for a final episode of the Simpsons.
• 1:15:25
  I'm not exactly sure on the specific storyline, but I was thinking it
• 1:15:28
  could be extended version of the opening sequence, essentially a story that means we
• 1:15:31
  see the opening sequence, but in a context, of course, there can
• 1:15:33
  be other scenes that aren't related to the sequence, so it shouldn't feel too
• 1:15:36
  forced. And this would make the final scene the whole family sitting on the
• 1:15:40
  sofa, which I think would be really heartwarming to close out with. It
• 1:15:43
  also should get an appearance from most of the people in Springfield by doing this,
• 1:15:45
  which is a necessity for a proper goodbye. I feel like it has
• 1:15:48
  a potential, but I've also literally just thought of it as of writing this
• 1:15:53
  right now. What do you think? What storyline do you think we could
• 1:15:55
  map out the opening sequence? Excited to hear what you think, Asia,
• 1:15:58
  So that's actually a good idea. It is so it will start off with
• 1:16:01
  sense and it's just twenty two minutes of them getting to the couch. That's
• 1:16:05
  actually a really good idea. Yeah, I like that a lot. Yeah,
• 1:16:10
  I interactions with all the other characters along the way. Yeah, but
• 1:16:13
  yeah, I mean not necessarily a plot heavy episode, more just a hangout
• 1:16:16
  in Springfield episode or you know, a fair Will to Springfield episode. Yeah,
• 1:16:19
  and giving indicasion. Oh yeah, this is a day in life?
• 1:16:23
  Is the day life life, life will go on? That's actually an awesome
• 1:16:26
  idea. I'm going to think about that one again. Like Andrew Swan's question,
• 1:16:29
  I'm going to get back to you next week, Asia, because I've
• 1:16:30
  just just read it. Then. I like that a lot. That's your
• 1:16:32
  TUK for the weeks while trying to It's just a basic storyline. Dan keeps
• 1:16:35
  giving me a homework by keep giving me for the first time ever. But
• 1:16:41
  well, I mean that's twice today. But yeah, that's a good episode
• 1:16:44
  idea. I think I think soon's well, yeah, already you'll think for
• 1:16:45
  that, Asia Simpsons. Mailbaker Gmail dot com if you have any more questions
