  Speaker 1: One of the most important skills a performer can learn
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: is dealing with hecklers. And action. Top of the evening,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Officer Kripke. Your dog's dead. Um, that's not really a heckle.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Right, yeah, right.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: I've seen more life in the Wellington Botanic Gardens. That
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: is a heckle, but if you're not from New Zealand,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: it loses some of its sting. How much? Well, most
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: of it. Do you think they won't know the reference?
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: If they did know the gardens, then they would know
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: that they're teeming with life. Four finger discount, dude. Welcome
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: to season 22 of Four Finger Discount. We're here to
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: sing some songs with Flight of the Conchords. It's an
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: elementary school musical, not to be confused with the South
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Park episode that aired two years before this one. I'm Dando.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: And I am Guy. Usually we say, Simpsons did it.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: This time we can say, South Park did it.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, South Park actually did it. How bizarre, right? I know, right?
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: I sort of forgot that that even existed until just
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: a little bit of accidental Googling just now.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because we're not up to that point yet in
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: going down to South Park. So in going down to
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: South Park, we are just finished season 10. We just
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: finished recording the end of season 10. So that was
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: in season 12, I think he says? Episode 13 of
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: season 12?
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Correct, yes.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It seems weird that Simpsons would do an episode
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: and call it the exact same thing as a South
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Park episode. I guess they're not really keeping in touch
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: with things, but you think if you're going to write
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: a title for something for an episode of The Simpsons,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: you'd Google it first? That's true. That's the first thing
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: I would do if I'm writing a song or I'm
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: writing an episode of a title of anything. Let's just
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Google that first. When I start a new podcast, I'm like,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: let's just make sure there's no other podcast called, you know,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Four Finger Discount first. Yeah. Let's say there's another podcast
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: called The Movie Guy with Moulton and Davis before we
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: start The Movie Guy with Moulton and Davis. That's true.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: But let's not forget this was a time when the
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: world had high school musical fever. Glee was huge. Yeah,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: you really want to catch that upswing.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Was it high school musical fever or was it glee fever?
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Or was it all just one big sort of bag?
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: A little bit of everything, really. Yeah, I mean, I
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: guess high school musical... Well, I was a few years
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: in the rearview mirror by this stage. I'd forgotten about
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: the glee aspect of this.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Well, that's the glee cast that appear in this.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah. But yeah, the world sort of had glee fever.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: We were all singing and dancing in the 2010s, weren't we?
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Big on Australian Idol, American Idol, those singing shows. They
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: still have the singing shows. Boys. I never watched Glee.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I remember seeing it going, I don't want to be
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: caught dead watching this thing. So they're just singing- It's
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: just watching karaoke. Is that what we're doing here? A little, yeah.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, I was writing about TV at the time,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: and Channel 10 was showing Glee, and they were really
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: high on it. Usually it would be the case that
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: when you were reviewing shows, you would send out discs
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: or send links or whatever. With Glee, the people at
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Channel 10 were sending an invitation saying, come up and
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: watch this gala event, which turned out to be just.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Watching in one of their boardrooms on a big TV.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: But it's clear how sort of hyped they were about it.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: and watching the first couple of episodes was like, okay, yes,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: this has got singing and dancing in it. And you know,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: your mileage may vary on how much you enjoy that,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: but it also had that really sort of scathing, irreverent
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Ryan Murphy sense of humor as well, particularly with Jane
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Lynch's character.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: So I thought, Oh, look, this could work. And the
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: more it went along, it's like, no, we just like singing.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: It's like, well, I don't.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: So, um, yeah, I, Yeah, sort of tuned out of Glee.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: And it became a bit of a punchline eventually, didn't it?
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: It did, yeah. It was the show that people my
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: age mocked at the time. So it would have been,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: when did Glee start? When was Glee first a show?
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Well, let's see.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I'll go on the wiki page, which never what, Mr. Davis? Always,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: never fails, never lies. Never lies, that's the cue. Yes,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: never lies. Six seasons. Wow, weird. It wasn't that long. 2009,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: so it only started a year before this episode. Okay.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: I thought it started a bit earlier than that. Yeah, okay.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: But see, with Glee, the one positive for me that
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: we can take from Glee- is that it brought Journey's
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Don't Stop Believin' back into the limelight. That's true. I
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: think that was the first episode, wasn't it? Wasn't that
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: the first sort of big, that was the big single,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: the first big song to come from Glee is Don't
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Stop Believin'. Yeah, I'm not.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Sure it was in the first episode, but it was
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: certainly one of the first big things to come out
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: of it.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: It's amazing how Don't Stop Believin' just became this real
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: big thing again. I mean- Well, The Sopranos did it
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: in 2006 with the finale.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Yes. And there was also, it was also used, this
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: is a bad example, but- There was this terrific movie
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: that came out in 2010 called The Losers.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Do you know this one? I know Loser, not The Losers.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: There were three movies that came out that year that
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: were all man-on-a-mission movies. There was Expendables, there was the
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: big screen reboot of The A-Team, and there was The Losers.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: And they were all sort of about squads of capable
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: dudes getting into scrapes. The Losers were the best of
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: the bunch, and it probably did the worst out of
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: all of them, but it had Chris Evans pre-Captain America
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: in it. And he was sort of doing this sing-along
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: to Don't Stop Believin' that was really, really fun.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: It's a great song.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: It's a fantastic song.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: The first 45 seconds in particular, just like. Just a
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: small town girl. Oh, yeah.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Steve Perry kicking in with those vinyls.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Have you seen him singing it live? There's a clip
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: of him singing the song live.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: I have not.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. It's so good.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Look at the 80s live performances, and you're just like,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: they don't do this anymore. They don't make them like
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: this anymore. Steve Perry.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: I love that saying, it's like, we don't know how
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: to do this anymore. It's like, why don't we make
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: things the way we used to? Because we just don't
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: know how.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: But elementary school musical, look. I thought this was actually
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: a pretty good way to kick off the season. I
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: thought this was not a bad episode at all. I
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: thought it was an episode that felt very much like
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: padded filler for the most part. Not in a bad way,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: but entertaining filler. So it didn't really feel like much
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: of a story. The story was being told, but it
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: was more just padded out with songs. And I know
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: that's what Flight of the Conchords in particular do. They
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: tell their stories through music.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: That's the thing.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: If you didn't have Flight of the Conchords in this,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: then I might be going, I don't know about this.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: But the fact that it's Brett.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: And Jermaine who I really, really enjoy- And they bring
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: their own sort of distinctive style to this episode. Yeah, mate,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: there's something that I quite liked.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: I couldn't find it anywhere. I don't know whether they
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: wrote the songs. Imagine they would have had to have
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: had some play in the songs.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: You would think so.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, did you ever watch this show? Yeah. Some
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: of my friends loved the show. I watched it when
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I was at their place. You know what I mean?
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: It was very popular.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the songs that they do in this episode feel
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: very much in keeping with the shows that they do
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: or the songs that they do. on their TV show
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: and also, I guess, in their live act.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: I feel like Jermaine has kind of left Brett behind
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: a little bit. I feel like Jermaine's a lot more
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: successful now doing his own things more than Brett is.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: I think so, yeah.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Jermaine's, you know, he wrote Shiny in minor and he
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: does all these other, like, Disney songs and you're like,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: where's Brett? Yeah.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, I do a bit of work in a
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: record store these days and I'm seeing that Brett's got
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: a few solo albums.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw that, yeah. So I guess he must
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: be doing his own thing. He came to Australia... About
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: a month or two ago, yeah. Doing a tour.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: It does seem like Jermaine has been the one who's...
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: I'm Hollywood now. Well, I mean.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Not that I ever confuse him, but I mean.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Do you find him funnier than Brett? I feel like
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: he's the funnier performer, but Brett's the better writer.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: I think that might be the case.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: I could be completely wrong. I don't know.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: I think Jerm... I haven't seen Brett in enough other
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: stuff to see how he... See if he's got a
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: lot more... Much more charisma. Seems like Jermaine does.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: It feels like Jermaine doesn't need Brett, but Brett kind
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: of needs Jermaine. Perhaps.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: They work so well together.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: They do.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: And I always sort of conflate Jermaine Clement with Matt Berry.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: They sort of remind me of one another. They've got
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: that very sort of smooth slash pompous way of going
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: about things.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: But I must admit, when this.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: not when the episode first started, but when Lisa first
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: got to Arts Camp, it was called Explorations.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Explorations, yeah. Yeah, yeah. And there was all that sort
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: of- Good vibrations. Good vibrations.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Like, if it's all going to be like this, I
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: don't know. Because I say this as a former theatre kid,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: theatre kids suck. They can be so insufferable.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Well, I had a few friends that sort of got
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: in with the drama crowd by like year nine, ten-ish, right?
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: And they just become so full of themselves. I was like, Sam,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: what are you doing, mate? Not that we're naming names
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: here or anything like that. I was just like, what
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: the fuck are you doing? And you'd wear a scarf
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: to school and stuff. I'm like, dude, what are you doing?
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: I think it's good that this episode sort of pokes
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: fun at the pretensions of artistic types. It celebrates it
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: in some ways, but it's also like, Yeah, you can
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: be a little foolish.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: But I like the idea of Lisa. She's intelligent, but
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: she's still young, and she's oblivious and naive. Artists run
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: the world. Artists are important, and they paint this vision
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: of what artists are actually like. But what they're doing
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: is they're painting a fake vision of what artists' life
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: is like.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Or a very self-involved, self-important picture of themselves and what
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: they bring to the table.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Lisa goes to Sprooklyn and realizes that they're sandwich artists,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: which I thought was a fun twist.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Look, art's very important.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, a lot of what they're saying in their
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: song about, you know, art sort of reflects what the
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: world is about.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: It's what AI will never be able to fully grasp
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: is the art from a human being.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, yeah. I think we've talked about this either on
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: our shows or in the movie guide with Moulton Davis,
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: but there's that great line that the movie critic Roger
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Ebert said that movies are empathy machines. And that's what
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: art is. It allows you to step into someone else's shoes,
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: see the world through someone else's eyes.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Escape reality for a while. Escape reality for a while,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: but also.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just see how the other half lives. So that's important,
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: but also you can take that and run with it
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: a little too far.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: I just thought this episode here had some really, some
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: funny banter, but I guess it's also just, it's just
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: the Flight of the Conquers. Flight of the Conquers really
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: carried this one, I thought.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: In a lot of ways, yeah.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Having said that, I mean, the, I guess it's the
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: B plot.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: I was about to say the Glee plot.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: It wasn't really a Glee plot. I'll talk about the
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Glee plot. We'll talk about them in a minute. The
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: whole baseline. The crusty one, yeah.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: With the crusty going to the hague. Not a hague,
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: the hague. I thought it had some really good crusty
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: lines in it. I think there can be, certainly in
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: recent seasons, just when it comes to crusty, we'll make
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: him kind of vulgar and insensitive and all that kind
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: of stuff, but not really put much polish or finesse
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: on the lines. It seemed like in this there were
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: some actually pretty good ones.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Although I will say one thing. He makes a
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: joke at the start about his wife's side of the
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: bed being cold. He's like, for the sake of this joke,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: I'm married. And I was like, did you not get
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: married last season? Where's Princess Penelope? I thought he was married.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Wasn't he? He married Princess Penelope, remember? Didn't they? Oh, no,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: they were going to get married. And then he says,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: I can't marry you because I'll ruin. That's right. But
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: then they hook up at the end.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: That doesn't mean they're married.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Can't tie Krusty down.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Honestly, I'd say that was one of my favorite moments.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: What was it? Because it's very Rodney Dangerfield kind of jokes.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Arctic Circle.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Arctic Circle.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: My wife's side of the bed.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: But the purpose of that joke, I'm married. I thought,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: that's great.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: We're off to a really good start here.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: And admittedly, Wayne Homer is the only one laughing at
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: it and just laughing, laughing, laughing. It's like, and you're blooped.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And now admittedly- That's their setup to get him
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: to go with you.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: It had to be the setup for the- For the
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: whole B plot.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: You didn't have to have Homer obnoxiously laughing relentlessly for
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: like 30 seconds. You could have had him laugh and
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: then go, you like that one, huh? And then he'd
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: make another joke and then Homer would be the only
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: one who laughs at like three consecutive jokes. Yeah. Not
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: just being obnoxiously laughing at the same joke. And then
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: afterwards going, oh, now I get it. And then continuing
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: laughing again.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: I was like- Yeah. They just over-egged that particular point.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, everyone was sort of politely laughing at Homer,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: just be the one who's really laughing. It's like, okay, yeah,
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: this is the guy who gets me and this is
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: the guy I need in my corner.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: But then the Glee stuff, right? So, Lee, obviously, we
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: just looked it up, 2009, new show. This, again, felt
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: very much like the American Idol appearance, where it's like
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: we've got another Fox show, cram them into The Simpsons.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Time to do some cross promo.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and this would have been definitely advertised as The
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Simpsons meets Glee. That's how it would have been promoed, right?
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Because it's called Elementary School Musical. I know it's obviously
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: not playing Glee, it's High School Musical, but they would
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: have been in the trailers and the commercials and everything.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: If you were a Glee fan, I think you would
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: have been disappointed with this.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: They appear for like, what, 30 seconds?
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they just got one number.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Did they even speak after that song? No. Or
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: was it just Jermaine and Brett as the counsellors?
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: They say goodbye at the end. Oh, yeah.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: I'll miss you.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: We'll miss you, and then we'll.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Forget about you, or something like that.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's Lea Michele, the late Corey Monteith, and
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Amber Riley, who are the Glee stars who appear in this.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: They were kind of like, Amber Riley, maybe not so much,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: but certainly Lea Michele and Corey Monteith were really, I mean,
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: they were on the cover of The Rockstone.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: They were stars for a brief period there. Oh, yeah, absolutely.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: I've said to you before, I used to always get
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Corey confused with the guy from American Pie, the one
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: that's with the girl from the Teenage Dirtbag clip. What's
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: her name?
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, Mina Savari.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, the one that's with her. The jock guy.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: Thomas Ian Nicholas.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: The jock one, yeah. Or is that Chris Klein? Chris Klein. Oh, yeah,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: they do look a bit alike. I was always confused.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: I'd be like, Chris Klein's in this. I never watched
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: the show. I saw like one ad and I was like, oh,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Chris Klein, good for him. And then in my brain forever,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: it's just Chris Klein was the Glee guy. I was like, no,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: he wasn't the Glee guy. No, no.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: Although Chris Klein was trying to rebrand himself as a
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: bit of a singer as well because I think- Was he?
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Well, he sings in American Pie, doesn't he? He does.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: And also he did like an audition tape for the
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Mamma Mia movie.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Did he? Yeah.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Apparently it was just him being very, very enthusiastic about
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: And I sort of got out and everyone was like,
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: don't know about this, dude. And he was like, yeah,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: but it's kind of a joke.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: And I was like, no, it wasn't. And now it is.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: Yes, indeed.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: But yeah, that were the.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, certainly the big stars of Glee.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Well, you're a big fan of Flight of the Conchords.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: You're a big fan, right?
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: So did this feel very true to Flight of the
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Conchords in the way it was delivered, in the music,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: the way it was handled? As a Flight of the
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Conchords fan, did you like this? Oh, yeah, absolutely. Okay.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, their style is very kind of nimble,
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: light on its feet, very word heavy, but also, yeah,
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: pretty musically proficient. But also, they take the piss out
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: of themselves a fair bit. The fact that they... When
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Lisa goes to visit them, they're living in this shitty
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: apartment and they've got sort of blah jobs to pay
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: the rent or whatever. It's like, no, this fits. This
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: is very much in keeping with their whole style.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: I think it was important for Lisa to acknowledge at
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: the start, this is what you do all the time,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: is it? Just you play guitar riffs after you say
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: stuff because there will be people watching this who may
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: not have known who Flight of the Conchords were.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: And I think they do a good enough job where
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: if you don't really know much about the Flight of
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: the Conchords, you can still enjoy this.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: I believe so, yeah.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Because they're just... They're just charismatic and funny. They are, yeah.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Look, to the best of my recollection, Flight of the Conchords,
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: the show on HBO, was not necessarily a huge breakout
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: success like Game of Thrones or even Girls or something
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: like that. It was more like, not quite if you
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: know you know. But it was a bit of a
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: middle ground between low-level cult sensation and a big hit.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: It's like, oh, this is popular, and these guys are semi-well-known.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: I think if you say the name Flight of the Conchords,
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: people know who you're talking about.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: I think because they never became huge successes, they feel
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: indie still and cool.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Because they were like the– when you go to a party,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: when I was in my 20s, early 20s or late teens,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: it was always Flight of the Conchords DVDs being passed around.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: The Mighty Boosh being passed around or Summer Heights High.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: They were the three ones that were just played relentlessly
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: at parties.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it always struck me as like the best
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: level of fame to have. It's like you're well-known and
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: successful enough to be liked, not quite so well-known and
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: successful enough to get haters.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: To be known. Yeah.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think this is a really good representation
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: of them and this was a really good showcase for them.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Hey, my favourite. I was a big fan of one
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: of Krusty's crimes being aggravated hey-hey. I didn't enjoy that
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: very much. What is that? I actually have that as
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: one of my trivia questions. It's just a funny aggravated hey-hey. Yeah,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: I like the sort of shout-outs and sort of pokes
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: they gave to various things. I mean, that whole thing
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: about the NPR show that she's listening to. Yeah, what's
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: her name?
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: Ira Glass.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Ira Glass, yeah. Yes, yeah.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Our glasses are due. The five condiments. Yeah, just look,
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Krusty's gags were actually pretty funny in this. I like
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: the shout out to the glory days of DVDs when
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: it's like, yes, this is region A or region B.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: I like that too. And if I were to say,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: we're number one, I'm like, that fits Homer.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: But God, that time when it's like, oh, I've got
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: this really great movie that I imported from the States.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: I'd love to lend it to you, but It looks
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: like you don't have.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: A multi-region player. I know a guy who's got a
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: multi-region player. Yeah, and this is even- And I was
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: always that guy. I'll say, yeah, I'll.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Be like going into JB or the good guys or whatever, it's.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Like, now does this play disc with no regions? Like,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: come with me. You're talking too loud. Or you get
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: wise guys, oh, if you're a guy who watches DVDs,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: and I mean really watches- You're going to need the pen.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: It'll cost you six grand, but still you get to
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: watch movies from all over the world. It's incredible that
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: there was a time when that happened. We've spoken about
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: it before, but when you would get a multi-region DVD
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: player and you had to crack the code, it was
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: like discovering the Indiana Jones, like the gem. Oh, no.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: It's like hearing fucking extreme ways from the Borna DVD.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: I'm in. The Matrix. And did you ever feel like
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: you were breaking the law when you did it too?
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: I always felt like I'm not supposed to be able
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: to do this.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: With that kind of thing, maybe. But, you know, I
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: had a mate who, they would import a lot of
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: DVDs from the US. And, I mean, this was at
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: a stage where it's like, oh, God, it's going to
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: cost a living on something like Amazon. But I go
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: over and they just had a closet full of stuff
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: that they just imported. I'm like, Can I borrow this,
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: borrow this, borrow this? It felt like, not that you
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: were breaking the law, but more like, I'm getting one
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: over on the system.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. You're trying to.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Keep art from me.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: No, no, no. We had a family friend named John
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: who was always, he was like your savvy Steve. He
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: was always on top of the technology and things like that.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: And I remember he had a player. It was a
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: VHS and DVD player in one. And it was Macrovision.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: You know Macrovision? Oh, I remember that. Because VHSs would
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: have Macrovision, which means you couldn't record them. But he
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: had a switch that was like macro off. And it
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: would like- What? You could copy it from DVD to VHS. What? What?
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: I'll never forget going to his house. It was when
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Shrek first came out and I rented Shrek on DVD
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: from the video store and he put it in and
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: he goes, watch this, put a blank tape in, hit
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: record and record it to a VHS. Yes, it was
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: on a VHS, but I was able to take Shrek home. Oh, absolutely. Yeah.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Well, my buddy Savvy Steve did this. He had his,
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: he had his Laserdisc player.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And yeah, he was, Fuck they were cool, Laserdisc. Oh, yeah.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: But he just had chords up the wazzo, so everything
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: was connected to everything else. And I remember this distinctly. Oh, God,
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: we're going way back in time here. But this was 1993.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: Tarantino was huge, and true romance had come out on-
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: You may have mentioned this, yeah.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: He had it on Laserdisc and he made me a
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: VHS copy- So cool. Six months before it came out
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: in the cinemas.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: In widescreen and everything. I'm like, I'm just going to
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: go home and watch this all the time. I read
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: a really interesting story about Star Wars when it first
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: became available on rental. And apparently- They didn't want people
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: to own it. That's right. You could only rent it
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: or something. And then to prevent it from happening, from
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: people owning it, they said that the video store said
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: to send it back after a certain period or something.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: But people were just ripping it. And once it was
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: out there, it was out there. It was out there. Yeah.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Do you have any knowledge of getting your first Star
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Wars bootleg or.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Something or owning it? Not my first bootleg, but I
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: think Star Wars was like one of the first VHS
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: tapes that we got to rent or whatever, when we
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: first got our first VHS player.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: Way, way, way back in the day. See, the idea
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: of just home video being a new thing is just
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: crazy to me because I've just always had it, you know? Oh,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: it's so wild. Being able to watch a cinema film
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: at home. Yeah, it's nuts.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, sort of like, you know.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Because could you tape off TV at that point? Could
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: you record things?
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you could.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: You could, yeah.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I was doing that all the time as well.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: But yeah, first getting that VHS player into your, we
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: just call them video recorders, but getting the first one
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: in the house, it honestly felt like, oh my God,
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: we're in the future now. Yeah.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: We called him the video player. That's what we called him.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: That was great.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: And yeah, dad brought that home. And also, yeah, found
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: a copy of Star Wars somewhere. Like a legitimate 20th
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Century Fox home video.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: It would have been a holy grail.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: Oh, I felt like Luke on the cover just holding
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: it up like that.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: I remember showing the kids my videotapes recently. And Elliot's
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: first go-to was like, what if you stand on it
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: by accident? I was like. Well, then it's broken. But
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: we just fucking didn't. If we did it once, we
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: didn't do it again. No, we did. We got things
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: and we looked after them. Well, yeah. Plus the other thing,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think I've said this on... They look
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: cool on the shelf, right? They really do. Yeah.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: But these are also kind of built to last in
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: some ways. Well, provided you don't step on them, Elliot.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: But... Here's Deep Rising, for example. Like, hold it.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: It's got a little weight to it. But also... You know,
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: you can play this over and over and over again.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: And of course, you know, you're going to get tape
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: where if you've got your copy of, say, Fast Times
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: at Ridgemont High, it's going to have.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: And you get the little promos on the inside of
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: the cover. It was always fun to see what else
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: is available. Who's this?
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: F & B Silly from Backus Marsh.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: So it must have been a video store.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: I guess so.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: Or maybe they- Owned it. Owned it. And now I
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: own it.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: And were really possessive because they got little name tags
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: all over it.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: Other roadshow entertainment, they put their catalogue on the inside.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: You may also like these. So it's- This is 54.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Halloween H20, Deep Rising, Head On, Wild Things, and Phantoms.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: I never saw Phantoms.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: Any good?
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: The first half is good.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: The second half, not so much.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: What have we got here?
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: Phantoms now.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: Starfleet Command. Finally a Star... What's this? What the heck?
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: I was a little anxious.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: I don't know what that is. And more promo on
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: the back.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Oh, Jackie Brown. Yep.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: Phantom these days is mostly known from a line from
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: a Kevin Smith movie where I think it's Jay and
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: Silent Bob says, I think, yeah, I think they're watching,
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: it's Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. One of those
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: ones where like Kevin Smith's celebrity pals make cameos.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Biggs and all that, yeah. Yeah, but Ben Affleck's in
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: there and I think Jay goes like, Affleck, you were
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: the bomb in Phantoms, yo. Which Affleck goes, yeah, it
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: takes a little bit out. But that becomes sort of
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: a pop culture punchline. Okay, it's no for that gag.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: Affleck, he was the bomb in Phantoms. But yeah, VHS,
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: they were sort of, you know.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Not to be confused with The Phantom. Correct.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the Billy Zane movie. But VHS, built to last.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: You'd get a little wear and tear. If you've got
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: your copy of Fast Times at Ridgemont High, you certainly
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: may pause a particular moment. Tape gets a little crunchy
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: around there, but otherwise, no. They're built to be played
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: again and again.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: But some... Films were also made for VHS as well. Oh, yeah.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: I was going to buy this horror movie the other
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: day on 4K, and I was like, this movie was
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: not supposed to be watched on 4K.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: I've said this many times. Movies like Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: It shouldn't be clear.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Or Evil Dead.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: No. It should feel like a snuff film. Yeah. I
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: found this on the bus. Yeah. Anyway, so trivia time.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Trivia time. Yeah. Did we get through many favorite moments?
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. I did mine. Okay. Let's just do trivia.

• 24:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, close enough. Was it America's most monotonous highway or something? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: Speaking of roads and turn offs and things like that,
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: what exit do Marge and Lisa take to get to
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: Arts Camp?
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: Is it just a number? It is. I'm going to

• 25:15
  Speaker 1: of their room that Jermaine, or not just Jermaine, what
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: are their characters' names? Their name is Ethan and Kurt. Correct.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: With that.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: Oh, you mean their apartment?
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what's their apartment number? That I don't know. It
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: is 46. Okay, then.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: Speaking of Ethan and Kurt, we clearly have our mind
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: meld going on because we're asking similar-ish questions.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: What are Ethan and Kurt's surnames? Oh. Hardwick's one of them.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know which one, though.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: That is correct.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Oh, wait. No, I do know the other one because
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: it's a former footballer who everyone hated. Ballantyne. Correct. Hating Ballantyne,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: was it? No one liked him. A little shithead. No
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: one liked him. As we describe shitheads. Well, they were
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: on South Park, wasn't it? Talking about the difference between
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: a shithead and the other word. Well, yeah. Well, we
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: had our tier. Dickhead's not so bad. Shithead is worse.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Fuckhead is worse. That's the top tier. The top tier
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: of head. Your next question for me. My final question
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: for you is how old is Mr. Largo? He's 52. 53. 53,
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: god damn. Very close.
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: How many more questions have I got?
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: I also never realized how similar Largo sounds to Flanders.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's just the voice has just become strained now,
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: but I was like, it's just Flanders' voice, isn't it?
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: It did sound a bit that way, didn't it? Particularly
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: during this number. My last one for you.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: Well, you talked about aggravated hey-hey before.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: Where did he commit that crime? Ooh, good question. It's
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: probably in my notes, but I'm not going to look
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: it up. It was in Greece. In Greece. Okay. I
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: know he also stole the gimmick from the Holland's Van
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: Crusten or something.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: Or Von Crusten.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Von Crusten, yeah, yes. All right, now it is time
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: for some Stone-cutter shout-outs here on Four Figure Discounts, starting
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: with the incredible Katie G. We love her, don't we?
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: Oh, indeed. We would never send her to The Hague.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: We wouldn't send her to Sprooklyn.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: I'm sure she would spruce it up, though.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Everywhere she goes, she brings sunshine.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: Brings a little joy.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: Particularly to us.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: Also the following people. We've got Glenn Gomez, Justin Parker,
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: Zach Pruitt, Shani Macker, Elliot J. O'Neill, Isabella Murphy... Rach Beasley,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Stephen Roberts, Sean Devey, Pete Anderson, Timothy Burleson, Andrew Davis,
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Kevin Dental Plan Flood, Bella Winderbank, Jack McFadden, Heath Appleby,
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: Andrew McLeod, Mark Trelevan, Ginger M Pickle, Preston Murray, Talia Enriquez,
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Declan Phoenix, Brian McCoy, Logan B, James Shepard, Joe Riedenseck,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: Dave Pretzels McNally, Gavin Lang, Demi Miller, Charlie Zhou, Abigail B.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: Sharp Carter, and Craig L.T. Smash Gloucester. Those people have
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: to live in Sprooklyn because they can't afford to live
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: because they give us all their money.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: That's correct. Don't go changing.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: Don't stop believing. We're singing the praises of KG and
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: also these people. You're all awesome. All legends. Yes, indeed.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: All right. So the original air date of this episode
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: was September 26th, 2010. That's when season 22 of The
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Simpsons aired. What do you reckon the top three films
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: at the US box office were in September of 2010?
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: Avatar's not out yet, is it? Or has Avatar been out?
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: It's been out, I reckon. I think it was 2009, Avatar.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: End of 2009. 2010.
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: Oh, man.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: So long ago. I don't remember.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: September 26th, wasn't it? Sounds about right.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: So the number one, Jackass, the number two is number one. Yeah,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: so we have Flyboys at number three. What's Flyboys? I
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: told you Flyboys crack me up.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: Flyboys, I think it's about either World War I or
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: World War II fighter pilots.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: The main reason it is interesting now, I believe it
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: was semi-bankrolled, so this person could also have a co-starring role,
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: by a young man named David Ellison. Are you aware
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: of this person?
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he now runs the merger.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's one of the guys behind the Paramount Warner
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: Brothers merger.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: WVD, yeah.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's basically the son of a gentleman named Larry Ellison,
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: who was probably one of the richest men in the world.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: Got a lot of money to play with, and he
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: likes movies.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: So David really worked his way to the top.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: As someone who could be described as a bit of
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: a nepo baby, not that.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: Someone who had a well-known father, I feel bad for
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: kids who are like, you're just there because you're dead.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: But... I know, it does feel like this guy's sort
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: of babbling from dad's fat wallet.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: But yeah, he's also, he produced some of the Mission
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: Impossible movies, Top Gun Maverick, all that kind of stuff.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: We mock them, right? If you were the baby, you
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: would also be nepotizing? I reckon you would. I think
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: you just made that up. Yeah, I'm going with it.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: It fits. You'd be nepotizing the fuck out of everything.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: Number two is Gridiron Gang. That's the Rocks film, right?
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: It is, yeah. When The Rock was still figuring out
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: what he was. And also when he was still The Rock.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah. When he sort of became.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: Because he was The Rock for a while, then he
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: was Dwayne The Rock Johnson, then he became Dwayne Johnson.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he doesn't refer to himself as The Rock at
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: all anymore. But then he came back to wrestling like
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: two years ago, and then he was referred to as
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: The Rock again. Everyone's like, so he's The Rock again? Yeah.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: And we're confused.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah. You're confusing us, Dwayne.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: I don't think I've ever seen it.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: And Jackass number two. You're a big fan of the
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: Jackass films, aren't you? I enjoy them. You like number
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: three the most, don't you? Oh, yeah. They're all fun.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: They all sort of bleed into one, really.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay. I never saw the latest one. I heard
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: it's just mostly best of clips.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, was that best and last? I haven't seen it yet.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: Nah, anyway. So yeah, Jackass was still riding high in 2010.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Their sequel was number one at the US box office
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: when this episode aired. Production code MABF21, written by Tim Long,
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: directed by Mark Kirkland, and plenty of guest stars. So
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: Stephen Hawking, we haven't mentioned yet. Ira Glass, Amber Riley,
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: Corey Monteith, Lea, is it Lea? Lea Michelle. Lea Michelle, yep.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: Brett McKenzie, of course, and Jermaine to fly the Concords. Yeah.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: So the billboard gag, what was the billboard gag? That's
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: your hint.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: The billboard gag. Well, first of all, at the restart,
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: you've got Otto in the magic sort of flying bus
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: with a rainbow, I think, behind it.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: Apparently, it was meant to be like the Partridge family.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: Okay, then.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: It says- Yeah, it's a little Partridge family-esque. Yeah, that's
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: what it said somewhere. I read it, yeah.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to remember the billboard gag, which I believe
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: was Professor Frink's- Sex-MurderBot.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: Okay. Sounds fun.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: I may be wrong.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: If you're going to go out, that's one way to
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: go out.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah. How do you feel about, like, sex bots? Do
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: you try one?
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: Sex bots?
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: Not now. If I was 21 now and alone and horny, I.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: Don't know.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: It depends what the bot looks like. Well, that's... I
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: imagine that you might... Do I have to take it
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: to dinner first? No. Just cash or charge. I'll never
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: forget we went to a... A mate of mine, we
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: went to one of his friend's houses who I'd never
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: met before. Where's this guy? And we're at his house
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: and we walked down this hallway and just in like
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: the corner was like this vagina thing. Oh, no. Like
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: a flashlight? No, but it wasn't a light. It was
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: about- No, but you- It basically looked like a human
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: vagina and it was just like, oh, oh boy. Okay.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: Just out in the hallway. Yeah, just out in the
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: hallway on the floor. Out in the corridor.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, my goodness.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: I just told him myself- Fucking fronting. I just told
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: him myself by actually using the- What brand? Proper term.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: The brand name, Fleshlight. Oh, is that the brand name? Yeah, yeah.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: It basically is like a torch. Yeah, I've seen pictures
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: of those things. I know this was big. This is
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: like a torch. Well, that's the thing. It's like the
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: hips and everything. Well, this is probably got it out.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: He probably goes, that's right. I need one this big
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: for- Let's move off this topic. But it was just, yeah,
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: I'd seen it in the hallway and we both sort
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: of saw it. We didn't say anything to each other.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: We acknowledged it. We'd both seen it. We just kept moving.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: What are you saying to that? Well, you move out
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: the door and you never go back to that house. No,
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: you don't go back, no. All right. So how does, oh,
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: chalkboard gags, don't we? The chalkboard gag was, when I
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: slept in class, it was not to help Leo DiCaprio.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: Apparently that's a reference to Inception.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: That would be an Inception gag.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: And the couch gag, a banner appears above the couch
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: celebrating the show's 22nd season. It says it's from, it's
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: like a Fox podcast. party. They bring in the cupcake,
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: the executive brings in the cupcake, they blow it out,
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: and then he walks off with the cupcake and eats it.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: Because that's what they do. They use and abuse the
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: Simpsons IP, apparently. Pretty much. I feel like since Disney's
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: taken over the Simpsons IP, the actual IP itself, or
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: taken over Fox, I should say, and they now own
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: Simpsons as a result, it's flourished. I felt the Simpsons for,
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: I reckon, a decade was just floundering. It was just there.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: It existed. It was just that, oh, the Simpsons are
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: still on, is it? But I feel like Disney have
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: taken this IP and gone- Wait, so you're trying to
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: tell me you have probably the most marketable franchise of
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: all time and you're not making products?
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: Well, that's true.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: And now, every single month now, there is new Simpsons
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: clothing in Kmart and Target. And that just never happened.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: Well, if Disney knows anything, it's brand management.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And just constantly, the kids turn on Disney Plus
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: and the first thing they see is a banner for
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: the Simpsons and the yellow mirror. Watch it. I've told you. Oh, yes.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: I really, really enjoyed it. The only thing is, though-
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: The Simpsons don't appear on the kids Disney Plus section. Oh.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Because they have episodes that are rated M, they don't appear.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: So kids aren't able to discover the Simpsons unless their
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: parents are showing it to them. So I feel like
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: what they need to do is remove the M rated
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: Simpsons episodes away from it and then put them onto
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: the kids section. Because you want kids to find the Simpsons, right? Absolutely, yeah.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: But if you're not putting it on the kids section
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: of Disney Plus, they're not going to find it.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: Dropping the ball there, Disney.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: That seems wrong, right? Like, you feel like just remove
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: the episode that they shouldn't, or Treehouse of Horror. Seems
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: a little dopey. Yeah. Yeah.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: Get it right.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, anyway, because the kids are trying to find the Simpsons.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: They're like, the Simpsons isn't there anymore. And I was like, no,
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: it's there. And I'm going through, and I was like,
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: holy shit. I was like, Simpsons has been cancelled? I
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: was like, what's going on? And I realized, oh, they're
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: on there. I thought I had a scoop.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: No, it's the children who are wrong.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: Back to DVDs, guys. So the episode kicks off with
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: the kids, like the nerds, watching the Nobel Prize Awards.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: From Stockholm at 4 a.m.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: See, I've written some okay gags to kick off. I mean,
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: Homer's sort of coming down like, it's 4 a.m., you
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: should have, kids could have been in bed half an
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: hour ago.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: And the Peace Award has been given to Krusty, and
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: they can't believe it, Maggie shits her nappy.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: How could Krusty possibly have the Nobel Peace Award?
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: Oh, we're about to get into Krusty receiving his award
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: out the front of city hall.
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: Something I wanted to point out because I am, as
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: you know, a grammar nerd.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: And this is one thing that always gets my goat.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: I find it just annoying from a grammatical standpoint, but
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: also kind of disrespectful to one of the world's great leaders.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: People always misspell the name Gandhi and.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: Disney plus did it in this section. Forget the H.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: Well, they, they put, G-H-A-N-D-I. It's more like the clothing
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: label than the actual gentleman.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: Like gander. Yeah. So I was like, what?
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: Come on, Disney.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: Do you want to tell them how to correctly spell it? G-A-N-D-H-A.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: The H is at the end. The H-I, yeah. So
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: do they have no H at the end? Was the
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: H after the G?
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: They put a G-H like ghost.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: G-H-A-N-D-I. Yeah. Weird. Yeah.
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: Disrespect for the Gandhi.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: Well, it's like we did, I recorded a podcast with
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: Mitch yesterday, Lisa's Pony, and the subtitles, it's like, you
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: need to go to Pony Island. But the subtitles said
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: Boney Island, or the Boney Club, or something like that.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: And I was like, what? That gives it a whole
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: new meaning. But yeah, so Krusty gets the award, doesn't he?
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: They've got the press conference now for him accepting his award.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: Brockman's not a huge fan. I think he introduces him
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: as the guy that always parks in his parking space.
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: I'm looking forward to visiting the Arctic Circle, or as
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: I call it, my.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: Wife's side of the bed.
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: For the purposes of.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: That joke, I'm married.
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: Hey, you, big chief laugh at crap.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: Meet me in my limo in five minutes. It just
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: goes on for too long. It does.
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: They're working really hard to sort of squeeze as much
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: juice out of this as they can. It's like, meet
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: me in my car. If the car's rocking, don't bother knocking.
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: Except he's still laughing at these gags. And then he
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: finally gets it.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: This moment here, but there's two moments in particular in
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: this episode where we've talked about and we've been annoyed
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: by how.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: You feel like they're just wasting time or trying to
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: pad out time when they're going through a list. In
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: the season finale, it was the guy running through the
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: list of all the TV shows. Correct. Well, in this episode,
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: we've got two versions of that. The first one is
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: when Lisa's running through her camera. No, because on week one,
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: on day one, we did this on day two, we
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: did this on day three, we did this on day four.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: I'm like, these aren't really jokes. You're rubbing it in
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: our face. Yeah, I see where you're coming from.
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: I think with that camera thing, which we'll get to
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: in a minute, I feel like they were trying to
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: actually incorporate some Some gag, some wordplay into there as well, though.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: And as much as I thought some of the crusty
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: things were funny when Bart and Homer were reading off
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: the various titles for the crusty clips online, trying to
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: find a good thing that he's done, I was like,
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: I can read the titles. It's just Nancy Cartwright reading
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: the titles to me. And it was like 10 of them.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: And I was like, this seems to be a type
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: of gag they're using a lot now, where it's just
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: a list of things and they're just reading them to us.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: I guess they're making decisions for short attention spans, or
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: maybe the people will be distracted. I mean, we're not
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: in second screen territory just yet.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: Not 2010, nah.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: We're getting there, though. Yeah, we've got the introduction of
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: Facebook and Twitter. They've been around for a couple of years,
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: so people might just be looking at stuff, looking at
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: other screens, or just distracted by so many wonderful things
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: in the modern world.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: But Krusty wants Homer to be there when he accepts
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: his prize so he can laugh at his jokes and
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: make him appear more funny. I'm racking my brain. Haven't
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: we had... a similar story? Maybe it wasn't Simpsons, but
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: we had a similar story where someone was laughing at
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: their jokes, so they invited them to come along with them.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: Was it Homer laughing at Burns' jokes? Someone was laughing
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: at someone's jokes, so they wanted them around to make
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: them appear funnier than what they are.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, I know.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: I don't remember what you're talking about, but I don't
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: remember the exact incident. There was a story somewhere. We're
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: now 22 seasons in. Right in, guys. Mailbag at forfeiteddiscount.com.au.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: If you know which episode that was, please let me know.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: Then they're about to board the plane. Oh, you've got
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: a reason to get Bart there. Indeed.
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: Did you notice that, again, I'm a grammer nerd, Springfield
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: Airport is misspelled?
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: No.
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: It was Spring-ferled.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: Really? Yeah. Yeah. You sure? I'm positive. Makes no sense. Yeah.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: Springfield. Let's have a look. I mean, I trust you.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: I just want to see why, though. Well, I think
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: I'll rewind that bit because it's like... Was it just
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: one shot? Yes, yeah.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: Just when they're at the airport and they're about to
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: board the plane, there's a sign saying Springfield Airport.
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: Because he's just after the joke about choking on his tongue,
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: isn't it? Springfield Airport. Yeah.
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: Now, is this just like Springfield's such a shitty town
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: that it... It will misspell the name of its major airport?
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: Springfield Airport Simpsons. Is that just an animation game? It's
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: meant to be Springfield. Yeah. That's so weird, right? What's
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: going on? Yeah. Spring... Oh, look, the E is right
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: next to the R. So, I mean, they could pass
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: it off as it was a mistake. But, like, did
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: they just put the wrong letter in there and not
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: realise it? I feel like Dale from Kickin' the Hill.
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: You think it's a mistake. It's actually a conspiracy. Because
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: that's not a joke, but that just seems like it's
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: an animation. Someone's typed the wrong letter, doesn't it?
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: It does.
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: Good picking up. I would never notice that.
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: Happy to help.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: Springfield Airport. What? Damn you, Simpsons. Anyway, good pick up.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: All right, let's... Right in. P.S. I am not a crackpot.
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: If we posted about that, the first comment would be like,
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: go touch some grass. I hate that. Go touch grass.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: You're taking it too seriously. It's just cartoon guys.
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: Let's make a clip out of it and see what happens.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: The first comment is definitely going to be now, touch grass.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: Touch grass. But I like that they're singing the itchy
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: and scratchy theme to them as they're walking onto the plane.
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: The Marines have been doing it very reverently. Yeah.
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: And Krusty then gives them both drugs. You know, this
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: one's to keep me awake. This one's to put me
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: to sleep. Make sure you don't listen to me. You
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: give it to me when I say don't. If I
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: ask you for it, don't give it to me. If
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: I ask you again, give it to me. Yes. Lisa
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: then whines as they leave. You know, I guess what
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: he wants because he's the oldest and he's a boy.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: and making us what she wants because she's the youngest
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: and she's a baby. And then she turns down an
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: unclamped bottle of water. Oh, we've got quite the princess here.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: Is that Wiseguy? Yeah, it was Wiseguy, yeah.
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: The little princess, ain't she? Yeah.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: See, wise guy popping up and doing bits like that
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: is what wise guy is perfect for, right? Of course.
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: We have Moe popping up at the end and just
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: doing like a song. And I was like, why is
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: Moe now becoming the pop-up random guy? True. I mean-
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: We used to only see Moe when he was at Moe's.
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: Now he's just, we need someone to pop up and
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: do something random. Let's just get Moe to do it.
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: And something kind of inappropriate and slash edgy. Yeah. I
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: didn't mind the Moe joke at the end, which we'll
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: get to.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: Yep. Then she chills herself down by listening to This
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: American Life. Ever listened to This American Life?
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: Look, every once in a while, Ira Glass is a
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: legitimate person. He seems to be like patient zero. But
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: something we were talking about the other day, which was
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: a lot of radio voice, where you're talking in kind
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: of a mellow and understated way, and there's a little bit.
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: Of that at the end. Yeah, that kind of thing.
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: And Ira Glass seems to be that kind of person.
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: Meanwhile, what would your voice be if you were doing
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: the radio show down in the bay? What's from the movie,
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: The Fog? What's it called?
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, Stevie Wayne from Antonio Bay.
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: Antonio Bay, yeah.
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: Stevie Wayne, you know it, lad. Stevie Wayne is, of course,
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: a lady. But, yeah, I'd be Steve Wayne. What a
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: geek that would be, though. Oh, man. Love it. Yeah.
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: And people know who you are. You're just one of
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: the people, but you know. You're also- You're the radio guy.
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: You're the big man on campus. Yeah. You're the big kahuna.
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: You get the free coffee at the coffee club.
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: Hey, Steve Wayne.
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: You'll be like, that's right. Hey- Keep on listening.
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: Because the K-Rock radio host could walk around Geelong now
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: and no one would have any fucking idea who they are.
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, I mean, well, Lingy. Is Lingy still on there?
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: I know, it's probably like Whipper and Mogsy. I don't
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: fucking know their names.
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: As I always say, my good friend Anthony, there was
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: this movie that came out in the 80s or 90s
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: called T-Bone and Weasel.
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: Yes, you brought this up, yeah. And that's their sort
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: of go-to names for radio hosts. T-Bone. It's T-Bone and
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: Weasel in the morning. T-Bone and Weasel.
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: Or Robbo and Macca.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: Anyway. But Lisa, she realizes they're not going home, though.
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: She's going to be spending a week at Expressions, the
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: performing arts camp. And she brought the saxophone, too. And
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: she has victory for the middle child. Maggie's annoyed by this,
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: but it turns out she's also got a teethless choice pacifier.
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: We call it a dummy. She smokes like a cigar.
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: Smokes like a cigar.
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: Clips the end off and everything.
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: Yep. I, I love the elegant pearls you wear. And
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: the starfish shape that constitutes your hair.
• 45:08
  Speaker 4: You'll be staying in cabin 12 And we think that
• 45:15
  Speaker 4: you'll be very happy there You're gonna like Arts Camp Lisa.
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: Mars came with her debit visa.
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: You're gonna like Arts Camp Lisa.
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: Arts, arts, arts, education.
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: You're gonna like.
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: Arts Camp Lisa. I'm glad it wasn't all Glee casting.
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: That was enough. That was just enough. Broadview, they definitely
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: would be following up with a promo for Glee. Coming
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: up after The Simpsons. This show is brought to you

• 46:24
  Speaker 1: which is Fly the Conchords, and they, the stage whisper,
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: they pick her as their stage whisperer. I can hear you. No,
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: you can't. But all their comedy- That's so their banter.
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: Their comedy actually fits in Simpsons, the universe. It kind
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: of does. They could have been recurring guests, I reckon.
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: I reckon. Yeah. But Lisa then, and what's weird about
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: it is too, is it's so unique, their style. Like
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: no one else has ever really done Fly the Conchords style.
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: To the best of my understanding, no. Well, if they're
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: doing it, they're not doing it well enough to know
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: who they are. You know what I mean? Yeah.
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: It feels like the kind of thing that people would
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: want to rip off.
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: You can buy a tenacious D doing something like this,
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: but their style of humor is so energetic compared to
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: the mundane Flight of the Conchords. Yeah, these guys are
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: just kind of- Self-deprecating. I always go back to Hurt Feelings.
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: What a song.
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: Self-important, but self-deprecating.
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It's great.
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: I always go back to Bowie. That's them doing it.
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: David Bowie.
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: Bowie's in Spain.
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: Check out the Flight of the Conchords if you have not.
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: It's great. Shiny was originally David Bowie. They wrote Shiny,
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: the song in Moana, for Bowie.
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: Oh, my goodness.
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: That's how Jermaine got it. Ah. Did you not know
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: that story? No, I did not. Yeah, they wrote it
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: with Bowie in mind.
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: Bowie.
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: And he listened to it. He sounds like Bowie.
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: Oh, goodness.
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: The impression he does in Flight of the Conchords is marvellous.
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: When he sings Shiny, you're like, You can tell me
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: it's a David Bowie song, yeah. But then Lisa questions,
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: you play guitar riffs after everything? And then the guys arrive,
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: meaning Bart, Krusty, and Homer, and he makes a joke
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: about chicken cordon blech, and Homer's just like, yeah, that
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: was a funny one. But they realize they're not in Oslo,
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: they're in Holland, and it's been all a big trick.
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: He said, Haig, because he's a- It's the Haig, not Haig. Yeah, yeah,
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: the Haig, yes. They've played the trick to put him
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: on trial for all the bad things he's done in Europe.
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: He's dropped a monkey from the Eiffel Tower, aggravated Haig Haig,
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: He stole the entire act from Van Closten. I agree.
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: Out of those three, Aggravated Hey Hey is the best.
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: Try and envision some Aggravated Hey Hey.
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: I am picturing like some Twitch streamer or YouTube prankster. Yeah,
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: because you see things like that about, or you hear about, hey,
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: here I am. Don't know why I'm doing this one.
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: It's the Australian version.
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: Here I am in Japan. Yeah.
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: I'm taking a leak on their sacred site.
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: Taking a leak. Does anyone say taking a leak besides Australians?
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: Taking a leak.
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: Probably not.
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: But, you know, wacky pranks for the views. I do
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: love seeing pranksters getting pranked back themselves. You know, one
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: touches a chick and the boyfriend just goes, bam! And
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, you deserve it. Oh, yeah, absolutely.
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: It's being an aggravating little prick.
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: And someone just gets a whack.
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: Public pranksters, it's kind of diet, I reckon. There was
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: a real era there where it was just, you couldn't
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: trust anyone in public. But now you just don't really
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: see people walking around doing pranks anymore. I, for one,
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: am happy about this. Yes, I'm very happy about it. Yeah.
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: But we're now back at the camp and Father Concord's
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: are teaching how to deal with hecklers. I love this actually.
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: Your dog's dead. Not a heckle. Not really a heckle. Yeah.
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: I had to generalise, but I think the New Zealand
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: accent goes a long way here. I mean, these guys
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: are very, very funny.
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: No, it definitely helps. The accent helps a lot. Your
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: dog's dead.
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: Not just the accent, not just the whole dead thing,
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: but just the timing or the phrasing of it. That
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: may be just a Breton thing.
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: It's a package.
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: It does feel like a very Kiwi thing.
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: It's part of the package, yeah. Not really a heckle.
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: It makes about the joke about the Wellington Gardens, which
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: is actually teeming with life. They don't know what the
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: Wellington Gardens is. Then we get around the campfire and
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: they're explaining that they live in Sprooklyn. Artists are the
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: people who hold up a mirror. Artists make society see
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: its faults clearer. Artists help stamp out oppression and wars.
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: And when we camp outdoors, we make the best of wars.
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: Three layers, Mother Nature. Yeah, yeah. Artists end poverty with
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: music and dance.
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: Artists make art on the beaches of France.
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: I never knew artists were all so amazing. Excuse me
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: while I talk to this cow that is grazing. I
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: give art... Everyone listens when artists are talking. Because artists
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: are smarter than Mr. Stephen Hawking. Oh, yeah. Break it
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: down for me, fellas. A brief history of rhyme. Do
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: you think that I could be an artist in the city?
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: Hold on, Lisa. Let me check with the committee. So
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: what do you guys think? Yes.
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: I agree with you.
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: Yes, Lisa, you can be an artist in the world,
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: so move to the city when you're less itty-bitty girl.
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: To the gritty city when you're less itty-bitty girl. The
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: city's pretty gritty for an itty-bitty pretty girl. The city
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: is a pretty gritty place for an itty-bitty pretty girl.
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: And I was like, this is definitely Fly the Concords.
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: That's quintessential FOTC. As no one calls them. The more
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: we reviewed, the more I realized it was actually a
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: pretty spot-on guest appearance, wasn't it?
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: It was great.
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it really was. The critique for this era is
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: that this is where the guest stars just appear for
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: the sake of having guest stars. But when they can-
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: But this is the best combination of the two things.
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: Because, I mean, this is quintessentially Flight of the Conchords,
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: but it's also, yeah, it just fits in nicely. It's
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: not like, hey, everybody, it's Britney Spears or whatever.
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: They're coming and doing their thing. Yeah, they're doing their thing,
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: but it.
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: Fits so nicely into this particular plot line.
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: Because I go back to when- few seasons ago now
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: when Ricky Gervais was on The Simpsons. And that was
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: just boring. Awful. It was just terrible. Garbage.
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: What was that?
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: I think he wrote that episode. Yeah, but maybe they
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: learned from that. Like, we'll write the episode. You guys
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: be in it. But no, they have to have had-
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: Offer your input by all means. They had to have
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: had something to do with things like City is a
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: pretty gritty place for a itty bitty- Oh, of course. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah.
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: Let's see.
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, don't- I know this sounds contradictory to what
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: you were just saying about Ricky Gervais, but I mean,
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: Don't get talented people in if you're not going to
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: let them cook.
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But then we're now at what was formerly the
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: International House of Pancakes. It is now what?
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: Oh, now it's the International Tribunal of Justice or something?
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: The Court of Justice, yeah. The Court of Justice, yeah.
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: And they must prove, or Creston must prove that he's
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: made a singular contribution to Western culture. And he brings
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: up the Wyatt Burp sketch and the Dutch oven, which
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: other Dutch is not you. Back at the camp. Dutch oven.
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: They're looking at the clouds, but it turns out the
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: week is over. And Lisa runs through her week. Yeah,
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: I mentioned before that I was annoyed by it. Not annoyed,
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: but I was just like, ah, it's this again. Yeah,
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: I think they tried their best.
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: Because Marge did.
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: The exact same thing. She wasn't running through her week.
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: It was like, here's a photo of this, and here's
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: a photo of this, and here's a photo of this,
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: and here's a photo of this.
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: Whereas this, they're kind of like, look, admittedly, this is
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: one tiny gag out of that small gag. But it's like, Wednesday,
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: we did mime. Thursday, we did mame.
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: It's like, that's okay. That's okay.
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: I'll pay that.
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: I'll allow it. Yeah. Go with it. I love how
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: we've all got our own little memes. Go with it.
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: You were telling about the, what's your sort of go-to
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: meme if you want to agree with something or whatever.
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: Mine was the little judge going, dang, I'll allow it.
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: I'll allow it.
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: Well, we're amusing ourselves at least.
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: They tell Lisa that we'll miss you a lot, then
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: a little, then not so much, and then Marge says,
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: we have to leave now. We can't stick around because
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: you're only going to get stuck behind the joggers from
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: the fat camp.
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: Still calling it fat camp.
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Could you still call it fat camp now?
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: 2010, a different car. I don't know.
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: I feel like we're going sort of back. Oh, yeah.
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: We're swinging back. We hit a peak and we're going
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: sort of back to where we were.
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: We're swinging back.
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: The pendulum.
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: I must admit, when the pendulum was sort of like
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: at one, it was like. I think it's ever going
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: to swing back. It feels like it's kind of stuck
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: in one place. Like, no, it's come back with a vengeance.
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: Lisa says that she's changed now. She's a changed person.
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: Marge asks, why have you changed? You didn't say a
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: boy with the swing trunks on, did you? And then
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: Marge puts on Rufy, which is their version of the Wiggles.
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: That really annoying child. Or Raffy? Is Raffy an actual singer?
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: A child entertainer, yeah.
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: And she's put the safety locks on as well. What
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: was it, Raffy on King of the Hill or Italy?
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: Raffy. Yeah, okay, let's look it up. R-A-F-F-I. Beloved dog
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: influencer Raffy dies suddenly. Oh. Okay, I'm thinking of something else. Raffy...
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: Is that him?
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, sounds about right. It's funny because the lovely Louisa's
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: dog's name is Raffy.
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: Okay. Is it named after him? No. But anyway, so
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: they've driven back home now.
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I'm pretty sure that Raffi was mentioned in
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: the King of the Hill episode when it's, I think
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: Hank Hale says something like, sold more records than the
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: Beatles and his music's better too.
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: Oh, was that him, was it?
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: I believe so.
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: Ah, okay, yeah, right.
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: Oh, no, I think it might be the one with
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: the pan flute. It could be something entirely.
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was some random, yeah.
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: Disregard everything I just said.
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: Well, AI Overview says, Raffi appears in King of the
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: Hill as a calming presence who can hypnotize children in quiet,
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: unruly crowds with his slow, gentle voice. So apparently he appears. Okay.
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: If AI overview is anything to go by, which never
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: lies to us.
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: That's true. That never lies.
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: But so they've arrived back home. Oh, they've arrived at school, actually.
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: Lisa's arrived at school. She's really sad about how it's
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: all gone down. She's feeling unwell. It's not just because
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: of Otto's bad driving. He was playing a driving game
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: as he was driving. The bullies then ask how farts
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: camp was as opposed to arts camp. And Lisa goes
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: off from... She's in the band... class and she goes
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: off from the illegally zero sheet music this is where
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: we're kind of getting insight into lago's life here where
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: he's like you know i used to be once like
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: you and i've now i've accepted that my life is
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: just this.
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: This is um yeah an interesting and fun part of
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: the episode for mine at least because i mean look
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: i've had a theatrical and artistic bent for you know
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: pretty much all my life i would have loved to
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: have gone pro with i was talking about this with
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: my mom not long ago she's out because uh i
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: think we were talking about acting or something and you know,
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: at one stage I auditioned for NIDA, which is the
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: big acting school here in Australia. And I thought, I
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: would have loved to have gone pro with this. And
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: she said, so few people make a living at it.
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, that's true.
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: And it's something this episode goes into. It's like, if
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: you commit to the artistic lifestyle, there's a very good
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: chance you're consigning yourself to a life of poverty and
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: misery and unfulfilled dreams.
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: But still. Are you okay with that? Yeah, are you okay?
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: That's the trade-off.
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: There's every opportunity that, You know, you'll get to spend
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: your life doing stuff that you love.
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: So, nothing wrong with that.
• 56:47
  Speaker 3: No, no.
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you didn't see, you know, who was the kid
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: from Indiana Jones Temple of Doom who became the director?
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: What's his name?
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: Oh, Kiki Kwan?
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. So, you see clips of him, like, you know,
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: when he wins the Oscar and he's like, for 20 years,
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: I didn't think I was going to make it happen.
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: Never give up on your dreams. And you're like, because
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: you say shit like that, that's why artists never give
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: up on their dreams. Exactly right. Because sometimes people achieve them.
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: And maybe it will be me. You know what I mean? Oh, absolutely.
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: And I mean, there are all these memes going around
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: that people read about. So-and-so didn't write their first novel
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: until they were 48. So-and-so didn't start painting until they
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: were 63. And these are named people.
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: Keep going. Keep at it. Are you happy?
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: And the other thing is- Don't necessarily make commercial success or, quote-unquote,
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: making a living at.
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: It your goal. No. Don't base your success over how
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: successful you are. Yeah, just creating shit is its own joy.
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: Because I sometimes say to my friends and stuff, like
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: I was talking to my mate when I had dinner
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: with him the other day. It's like, you know, he's
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: earned like 200 grand a year as an accountant, blah, blah, blah.
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: And he's like, and I'm like, I'm doing podcasting, blah, blah, blah.
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: And he's like, yeah, but you know what? You get
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: to go pick your kid up from school and play
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: footy for an hour. I'm sitting on my ass in
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: an office. Sure. It's like you have the freedom. You're
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: paying your bills. You've got food on the table. You're happy.
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: And you're making memories. I'm making money. You're making memories.
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: And when you put it like I'm making money, you're
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: making memories, I was like, it's a fair point. Absolutely.
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: I would give up some of this money to be
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: able to make more memories, but I can't. That's right.
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: It's my job. You're under the lesson. Yeah. So- This
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: is where we get, yeah, Largo's talking about how he's
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: got a life of misery. Yeah, he used to have
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: banana cream dreams. Yeah, but how does he get rid
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: of it? How does he get through it? Vanilla wafers,
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: plum wine, and just taking it from the top. Then
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: Bart and Homer try to find the clip of cultural
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: contribution for Krusty. They run through the various clips. I
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: like to use his child as shield. Yeah.
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: Apparently there's a shout out to one of my favorite
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: books slash movies, Stephen King's The Dead Zone.
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah.
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: It's written by David Cronenberg, starring my man, Christopher Walken.
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: One blow to the dead zone, but yes, there's a,
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: Bit of a shout out to that.
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: It reminded me of the guy, I think it was
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: the baseball. Was it baseball or hockey? It must have
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: been baseball because a hockey puck would have really hurt someone.
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: Who pulls like his child in his way to block
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: the baseball from hitting him. Have you seen that? Oh
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: my God. Like dad uses child as human shield. Oh,
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: my God. One of my favorite things at the moment, though,
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: is watching clips of men catch baseballs in the crowd
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: of women and they hand them to the kids.
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: Give them to the kids.
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's so good. It's very heartwarming, isn't it? Yeah.
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: I think I saw one not long ago. You're like,
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: that guy is getting laid tonight. Because the kid's reaction
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: is always initial. Oh, man. Oh, man. Oh, shit. A
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: grown-up who's nice to me.
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but imagine how the ego boost that dude would feel.
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: He'd feel like Captain fucking America.
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: Just like, here you go, kid.
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah. What?
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: That's how I feel.
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: But then we also get a reference to the classic
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl nip slip, which is now just a dated reference.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: It is, yeah. When did it first happen? Was it 2003?
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 3: 2004?
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: I think it was a little later than that.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: Was it really? Let's have a look. Janet Jackson nip slip.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: When was it? 2004. 2004.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: And we call it a nipslet when it was, in fact,
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: a completely choreographed move.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: She had a nipple shield on. Yeah, in a highly
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: choreographed routine. Yeah, like Justin Timberlake's the one going, I
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: don't think JT is doing this.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: By the way, he does it at the same time,
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: going to have you naked by the end of this song.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: Huzzah! He's like, you didn't see this coming? Oh my God,
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: we're all so shocked. We watched the Michael movie. Oh, yeah? Yeah, terrible.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: I feel it would be.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: We got halfway through it. Nicola's a big Michael Jackson fan.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: We got halfway through it and she was like.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: What is Jafar Jackson like? Is he any good as Michael?
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: Well, Nicola and I both sort of decided that it
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: feels to us like... It's weird because it feels to
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: us like a guy's doing a Michael Jackson impersonation. He's
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: talking like this and he's putting on... It doesn't look
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: like it's coming out naturally.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: He's just talking like this and he's being nice to
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: people and like that. But I guess that's what Michael
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: Jackson was like. He almost was a parody.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: He almost was a character unto himself, yeah. Interesting.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: I've just got no desire to see it. Don't watch it. No? No.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: Don't bother. It's so inaccurate and just the timelines are
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: all over the place. Whoever played his dad did a
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: good job.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's Coleman Domingo. Yeah, I think apparently he's- Scary dude.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Have you seen this?
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it's in the scary movie reboot,
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: but there's like- There was a mock trailer going around
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: of a movie called Joe, which was just... And I
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: think it's... Is it Keenan who's on Saturday Night Live?
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: Keenan and Carol, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: It's Keenan, yeah. Playing Jackson.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: It's just him taking his belt off every two seconds
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: to just start whacking the kids. Well, Nicola was actually
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: bothered by that because it's one scene. It's like a
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: montage of his abuse. And it's like Michael Jackson has
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: to pick which belt. Oh, my God. He's like a
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: line of belts. He picks it off. And he hands
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: it to his dad. And his dad just closes the door, menacing,
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: looking at the camera. He's like, why is he even
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: looking outside the door when he's doing it? What is
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: this shit?
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: And he was like, did he just pick that he's
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: about to get belted with? And I was like, that's
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: what they're saying. She's like, Jesus. But it's so cliche
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: and obvious. Every beat, you're just like, I said to Nicola,
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: because they're trying to put together the Thriller album. And
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm just waiting for the- You can tell
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: what's going to happen in the next scene. Okay. It's
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: so predictable.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: Not interested.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: No. And look, did he actually have giraffes and monkeys
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: just at his suburban house? I say suburban house, not
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: Neverland Ranch. When he was living with the family, there's
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: like a giraffe walking in the backyard and a monkey
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: just running around the house.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: I don't know, man.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: I'm not- And the CGI monkey is terrible. Oh, no.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: It looks so bad.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: Okay, so I guess the upshot of this is don't
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: see Michael. Unlike the billion other people who have seen it.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: He's like in his bedroom and this is his chimney.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 2: He's like, demo, demo, don't play with it. What the
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 2: fuck is this movie? It's so fucking stupid.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: Don't watch it. Apparently it was an editing nightmare, like
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: the last act of the movie made or something. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 2: Well, they had all this stuff about the allegations and accusations.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: And why did they take him out? Apparently it had.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: Something to do with... And the settlement that they came
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: to with the family of one of the alleged victims,
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: a young man named Geordie Chandler, like this cannot be- Monetized?
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: If we pay you this, yeah, your name cannot be
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: mentioned in any sort of future thing or anything like that,
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: or this cannot be alluded to in any sort of
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 2: future- Documentary or dramatization or something like that. I may
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's got something to
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: do with it.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: They try to quieten him.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: And then they're like, oh, oh, we'd better not. Oh,
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: we've got all this in there. Ah, we've got to
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: cut it all out. We might as well just make
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: it about the music, man. Hey, we now return you to.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But then Krusty, they find a clip of Krusty
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: on The Electrical Company, which I guess was a TV show?
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 2: There was a TV show called The Electric Company.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: Electric Company.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 4: And.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: This is a very sort of, I don't know if
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: they allude to this or they mention this in the
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 2: wiki about this. Morgan Freeman was part of the electric company.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: Was he really? And he played a character named Easy Reader. Okay.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: Who would help kids read. That's cool.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 2: So this is, yeah, prior to Morgan Freeman becoming Morgan Freeman.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: The reader voice. Yes, indeed.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: But, you know, he was dressed all sort of funky
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 2: and he played this character, Easy Reader.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: Google it right now.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: Morgan Freeman, Easy Reader. You'll see he just looks like
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: the coolest dude.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: Hey, he really does.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: Look at him.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: Easy reader. That's my name. It's weird seeing young Morgan
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: Freeman because he's always looked old.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: That's true. Well, he didn't really sort of become a
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: proper star until like his 50s.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: Late 80s, yeah. Yeah. It was late 80s-ish? Yeah, sort of.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, he was a pretty well-known character actor, but
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: I think I've talked about this in the past. He
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: was in a movie called Streets.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: Don't give up on your dreams, kids. Don't give up
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: on your dreams. You two could be Morgan Freeman.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's in a movie called Street Smart with Christopher
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: Reeve playing this pimp. Of course he is. Really great performance.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: It sounds really sort of cliched in character to him,
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 2: but he plays this guy who's just a charming but
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: venomous snake.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: Freeman comes across like that guy on the block. It's like,
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: he doesn't look like much, but don't fuck with him. Oh, yeah.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: There's a reason he lasted as long as he did
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: in Shawshank. Yeah, exactly. Holy shit, Shawshank.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: Good movie.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: I haven't watched it in a long time. Yeah. That's
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: like every bloke's favourite movie, Shawshank.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 2: When you get the footy record back in the day
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: and they have profiles of players. What's your favourite movie?
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: What's your favourite food?
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: What's your favourite, yeah. What's your favourite movie? Oh, Shawshank. Shawshank.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: That's a good answer. Good square answer. Any 20-year-old player
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: in the 90s was an Adam Sandler film of some kind. Yeah,
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: it was like, oh, The Mask's really good. Happy Gilmore.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: But this is where they find the clip of him.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: He slept with the lighting director's wife. The light falls
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: on him and they dance to it. Lisa's now got
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: no appetite. She said the dinner conversation at camp was
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: far more stimulating. Grandpa then recites Emily Dickinson, but he's
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: actually just describing his day. Lisa then goes upstairs to
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: say goodbye to her dreams. And I was just like, oh,
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: it's a bit dramatic, right? Well. I'm going upstairs saying
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: goodbye to my dreams. Okay.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 2: First of all, yes.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: Can you not just go back to the camp at
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: some point? Or, you know. Do something. You've been very.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 2: Happy being an artistic person in this environment for quite
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: some time. I will admit, when you are surrounded by
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 2: like-minded people, this sort of leads back to what I
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 2: was saying earlier. When I, say, did plays at school
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 2: or in amateur theatre, like I did down here, being
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: among your people, it feels really great. I mean, it
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: all feels like you're speaking the same language. You're all
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: sort of of a similar mindset and similar attitude. It
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 2: can be really, really fun. And yeah, to only have
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 2: that for a little time and then have to sort
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 2: of go back to, oh, real life, it sucks. So
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 2: I can sort of see where she's coming from.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: Plus, she's a child. It's not that with anything like,
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: you know, you go to a Star Wars movie with
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: Star Wars fans, you get to enjoy the experience more
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: because you're all enjoying it together. Of course, yes. Yeah.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: But this is where she goes upstairs to say goodbye
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: to her dreams. She sneaks out, sees Maggie. She makes
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: a reference to the Bronte sisters. She's going to come
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: back and get her and they'll be the Bronte sisters.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: She gives her a photo of the Brontosaurus. And she says,
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: don't ever turn two. I didn't get the joke? Am
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: I missing something?
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 2: Oh, just that.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: Don't ever grow up.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just maintain your youthful innocence and ignorance, one might say.

  Speaker 1: finds the signs for the Sprongs, Spanhatons, Spoons, Spaten Island,
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: and heads to Sprooklyn. And she arrives at the Concord's Place.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: I'm just going to call it the Concord's. It's just
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: the easiest. The Concord's Place. And it's all run down.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: It's cold.
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 2: Living in squalor, yes.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: No heat. It's part of our art. They reveal that
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: they're artists. Yes, they're sandwich artists. And they steal... Brett
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: stole a tomato, hasn't he, from work. They said they
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: can eat the food if they drop it, if they
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: accidentally drop it.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: Not on purpose.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: Not on purpose, yeah. Then they sing her the truth. Look, Lisa,
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: I think it's time we sang you the truth.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 3: Artists are the least important people in the world. So
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 3: whatever you do, don't be an artist, girl.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: Artists make a living dressing up like a falafel.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 2: Artists shed a tear when they're called something awful.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: You ain't no falafel.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 3: Artists sit in jail on a lifetime hitch. The only
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 3: way out is become a prison snitch. Oh, why did
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 3: I sing that out loud?
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: What I don't get is why all the lies.
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 3: We wanted you to think we were happening guys.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: Well, philosophically, we're happening in the sense that we exist.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: Not for long, if we don't drop more sandwiches. I mean,
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: they are happening, guys. They really are.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 2: They're just, you know, not making a shit ton of
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: money or anything like that. But they live in that
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 2: artistic life. There's a great book. Well, when I say
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 2: a great book, it's got a great title. I don't
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 2: think you probably need to read more than the actual title.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 2: Real Artists Have Day Jobs.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 2: That struck me as a great title because it's like, yeah,
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: there were very, very, very, very, very, very few people
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: who make a living making art, usually you've got to
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 2: have a bit of a nine to five or at
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 2: least a side hustle going on so you can, as
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 2: we like to say, keep the lights on.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: I remember Eddie McGuire told me, I've said this before
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: on the podcast, I reckon. I met him when I
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: was 10 and he was doing like this. Learn from
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: a professional, kid. I just really used to admire Eddie McGuire,
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: just his hustle. When I was a kid, I was like,
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: I want to do what he's doing, be on TV
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: and hosting all these shows. And I remember he said
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: to me, the only way to make a career, because
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: I was talking about wanting to be on radio, because
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: he was on radio at that point as well. He goes,
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: the only way to make money in radio is to
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: be somebody outside of radio. And I've never forgotten that.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: He's like, you've got to have something else going on.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: He's like, it's very rare that you're going to be
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: earning a career just from doing this. You've got to
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: have side hustles. And that's what he does. He's got
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: his finger in so many pies in Maguire. You look
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: at all the, The top stars. Hamish and Andy, they've
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: got their own TV series. They've got radio. A production company. Yeah,
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: music and stuff. What's he got? He's got his cartoon now.
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: The book. Oh, yeah. I don't know if it's a
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: book or whatever. What's Hamish Blake doing these days? Just
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: doing their podcast, is it?
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 2: Just influencing everybody, apparently. Influencing every voice on radio, according
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 2: to you.
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But, yeah, so they're not living the greatest life
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: at the moment. We're back in court now. And Krusty
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: squirt some salsa in the eye. I thought you guys
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: loved unfunny comedy. And then... That's not.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 2: It's something I really enjoyed. I thought that was a
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 2: very funny line, and here's why. We tend to think
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: of Europe as, you know, the cradle of sophistication and
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff. You look at some of
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 2: the movies that are like big hits in France, for instance,
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 2: and they're really dumbass lowbrow comedies.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: Are they? We sort of get, you know, oh.
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: Everything is French and delightful and also sophisticated. But, you know,
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 2: you look at like the top 10 box office hits
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 2: in France, and, you know, it's just really stupid-ass comedies.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: I know. Yeah.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 2: Likewise, perhaps in Germany and all that kind of stuff.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: But this is stuff that doesn't filter through to the
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: rest of the world.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: Anyway. When I think of Germany, I always think of porn.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: Porn and schnitzels. Schnitz and tits, as Nicholas calls it.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: Schnitz and tits.
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 2: An actual company.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Went there for a bucks party. It was great.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: How was the food? Food? But Bart and Homer arrive
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: with a DVD and it's a region one. We're number one.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: I thought, yeah, that's a good game. I've never actually
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: heard that game before in reference to region one. But
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: then the guy says, my brother has a multi-region DVD
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: player and he needs it backed by six because they're
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: going to be watching.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 2: A- Real Housewives of Atlanta?
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: Atlanta season two party. Yep. Let me get the clip
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: in here. Do you want to explain what's going on here?
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: So they play the clip of Krusty in South Africa
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: in 1990 refusing to play Sun City.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: So what's going on here? So the results in Nelson
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: Mandela being released three days later.
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah. As we all know, South Africa had its apartheid
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: regime for a very, very long time. They also had
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: a resort called Sun City that attracted- Well, there was
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: a song, wasn't there?
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: Isn't there a song called- Well, that's, yeah. We'll get
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: into that. Yeah.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: It attracted artists from all over the world, and I forgot.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: forgotten who might have been the actual artist who first
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 2: boycotted and also came up with this song that said, ah, ah,
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 2: ain't gonna play Sun City. It might have been like
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 2: little Stevie Van Zandt from the Springsteen band.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: It was, yeah, Stevie someone, yeah. But got a lot,
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think, yeah, Stevie Van Zandt was the
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: guy who- Stevie Van Zandt, yeah, the Preacher song, yep.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: But had a lot of his celebrity pals who were
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: like backing him up on that song. Have we got
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 2: a link to the song there or a link.
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: To- 1985 protest song. Yeah. I'm pretty sure that.
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 2: Like Springsteen might be on it and maybe some members
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 2: of U2.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: Okay. And it's pretty catchy because it's got that great chorus. Ah, ah,
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: in the blue sun city. I keep thinking you're going
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: to say, want to rock and roll all night. But
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: the thing is though, so this was South Africa in 1990.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: So that song came out in 1985. So how did
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: Krusty result in- I think.
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 2: We're fudging with some timelines here in all honesty, but
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 2: I think they just wanted to make the joke about
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: Sun City.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay. Probably. But how is Krusty responsible for Nelson
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: Mandela being released? Because of your selfishness, Mandela was released.
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, because he said, I'm not going to play
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: Sun City. And then, yeah, two days later, Mandela was released.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: They're drawing a very, very long bow, I think.
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: Okay. I'm sure there's a joke there that I'm just
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: not getting.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 2: I think it's just they wanted to say Sun City.
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe. Yeah. Anyway, so they release Krusty and then
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: he says, where can I find some hash? Something? Yeah.
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: Some weed or whatever. He's like, it's in the cafeteria.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: I'll meet you there with a raspberry crepe and a
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: brick of hash. And he melts it and injects it
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: into his eyelids. I was like, this is getting weird
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: real fast. Well, yeah.
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 2: These judges are meant to be sort of like upstanding
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 2: moral pillars of the community. It's like, no, we like
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 2: to get a lot of hash. Not even just smoke it.
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 2: I put it directly into my eyes.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: We're now at Dregs, a place for coffee and conversation.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: And Lisa's watching the Concord sing. And she applauds him.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: They don't know what applause is. I don't think I
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: like it. Then Marge arrives to take Lisa home. Lisa
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: wants to get the hell out of there. Then Moe
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: starts performing and he says, it's good that the little
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: kid's gone because these songs are going to get into
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: a very dark area. Then they say to Lisa, in particular,
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: remember us for our exaggerations and not our reality and
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: we've left you a surprise. And she says, is it laundry? Well,
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: two surprises. They give her the laundry and then they're
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: driving home and they see the mirror that they painted
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: on the wall says, now leaving Sprooklyn, once and future
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: home of the great Lisa Simpson. They question themselves how
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: they got up there. It's the magic of art and
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: they fly away to Sprubway where they, Accidentally dropped some
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: food on the floor.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 2: Good one.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: Yes, and that's the end. That's the end. Yeah, it
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: was enjoyable.
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 2: I think it's a pretty decent way to start the season.
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 2: It's a nice combination of art and commerce. You've got
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 2: a bit of cross-promotion with the Glee kids.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: With the Holland. Cross that off the map.
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 2: Correct. Another pin that you.
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: Can put into your map of the world. No, we
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: did go to Holland. We thought they were going to Norway.
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: They did, yes. Yes, all right. Well, that is Elementary
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: School Musical, not the South Park episode. Yeah, not to
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: be confused with the episode from South Park. Now, we
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: haven't reviewed that one yet, so I wonder which one
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: we're going to enjoy more. I'm probably going to say
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: the South Park one. Oh, no, and Father Concord's made
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: this one pretty funny. Oh, yeah. I do recall the
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: Elementary School Musical. South Park music's probably going to be
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: pretty good. It's probably going to be pretty funny. But
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: having said that, I think Dan and I are in agreement.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: This wasn't a bad episode. It was a pretty good
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: way to kick off season 22. Indeed.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: What did we learn, Palmer?
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: What did you learn from the episode, Mr.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: Davis? That we were denied a full-length hip-hop album by
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 2: Professor Stephen Hawking.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we did indeed.
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 2: We really needed a brief history. We needed more than
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 2: a brief history of rhyme. We needed an extended history
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 2: of rhyme. We needed the extended remix.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: What would his B-side be, do you think? Oh, my God.
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 2: That's way above my bag.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: Remember B-sides, kids? You actually had to... Oh, well, they'll
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: know what it is now because they're into the vinyl. Yeah,
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: vinyl's a thing. But I don't think singles are that popular, though.
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, they do for Record Store Day and things
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: like that. But I mean, I'm not dropping $ 40 on
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: a single. Oh, God. Unless it's just purely to say that,
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: look what I've got on vinyl. Because I know the
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: Simpsons recently dropped the Simpsons theme in a donut-shaped vinyl.
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: But it's just the theme. And I was like, It's cool,
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: but is it really 40 US dollars cool? I don't
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: think so.
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 2: No, no, no. But yes, that's what I learned from
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 2: this episode, that Stephen Hawking should have dropped more diss tracks,
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 2: preferably against Einstein and Copernicus.
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: Yes, indeed. I learned that if I'm going to be
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: aggravated or I'm going to be assaulted, I want it
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 1: to be with a good dose of hey, hey. I
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: think that's our main takeaway from this episode. We all
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: like aggravated hey, hey. It's just a good gag. From
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: this day forward, your name shall be... Alright, it is
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: the first Guy Davis New Name Championship for Season 22
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: here at Four Finger Discount. Can you believe we're into
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: Season 22 of the show, Mr. Davis?
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 2: Holy moly.
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: But the race begins again. Yes, it does indeed. Now,
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: who gets the one point? Who gets the first one point?
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 2: One point is for the person who gave us the
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 2: new title, Glee Sir Simpson. That would be Justin Parker.
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 2: Well done, Justin. Justin.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: It's Justin.
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 2: Justin's got one point.
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: There used to be a wrestler called Justin Credible. And
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: I remember when I was like 12, 13, I was like,
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: wait a minute, Justin Credible. Whoa. I'd follow him like
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: Justin Credible for all these years. Then it dawned on me,
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, shit.
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 2: I love it when you get that gag, even like
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 2: years or so after the fact.
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: Especially when you're a kid too. Yeah.
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 2: I think I remember reading about like there was some
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 2: fictional private investigator called Justin Case.
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, wait a minute.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 2: Well, their works are multiple levels.
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: Just in time? Well, yeah.
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, recently we did our, well, when I say recently,
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 2: a little while ago, but our movie guide with Moulton
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 2: Davis podcast did the, we did Toy Story, but I
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 2: talked about that on this upcoming movie on Netflix called
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 2: Ray Gunn, directed.
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: By our man Brad Bird. Is Brad Bird doing it?
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's Brad Bird.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: Wow, that's right. It looks so cool.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 2: A trailer dropped.
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: I'm like, But he's like... Wait, it's animated, right? Yeah.
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: I did see that trailer. Yeah.
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 3: Oh, no.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: It's not about Ray Gunn. Now, you threw me. Oh, no, no, no.
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: It's called, yes, it's called Ray Gunn. Yes, we're not
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 1: talking about Australia's favourite breakdancer. I'm like, he's talking a
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 1: movie about Ray Gunn? Okay.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: No, but he's a futuristic private eye named Ray Gunn.
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: Yay! Two points, shall we say.
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 2: Two points goes to Dohemian Rhapsody.
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: That would be Brett Sheeran. And that name is actually
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: a bit of a copy, but it was copyrighted by
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: someone who created many, many years ago. And we shared
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: it on the page and we got a copyright strike
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: and Facebook didn't like it and YouTube didn't like it.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: It was basically, they got various clips of The Simpsons
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: and made it play to Bohemian Rhapsody, but it was
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: Dohemian Rhapsody. So it was Homer singing Bohemian Rhapsody, but
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: from various clips of the show. Yeah, it's pretty good.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 2: That's pretty clever.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Who got the two points? That was Brett Shearer.
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: Well done, Brett.
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 2: I was going to say it was Ed Sheeran.
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: Ed Shearer. No, no. His name's been cancelled now, right? Unfortunately. Yeah.
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 2: Let's get away from that. Let's get to three points instead.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 2: And three points goes to Faux Bell Peace Prize.
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: That is Mike Salter with the three points. Oh, Salt Bay.
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 1: From way downtown.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 2: Indeed. Thank you very much for that, Mike. Yeah, good name.
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 2: Dan and I were just talking off mic about someone
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 2: who shall go unnamed, mainly because Dan and I didn't
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 2: reveal their name. Who used to pronounce it?
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: Fox. We worked with him. We thought it was delightful.
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: He had no idea. He's like, hey, I learned all
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: the Fox products. And you're like, okay. Everyone's sort of like...
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: I feel kind of bad now looking back on it
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: because we understood it the first time. He would have gone, oh, shit,
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: I didn't realize. But because we let it go for
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: so long, you couldn't then correct him.
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 2: You didn't tell me.
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I trusted you. I trusted you. Yeah. So the leaderboard,
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: as of right now, after the first episode of season 22,
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: it is Justin Parker on one point, Brett Shearer on
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: two points, and Mike Salter on three points.
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 2: Let's see how long those positions last.
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 1: Yes. Now, the next episode of Four Finger Discount from
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: Season 22 shall be Lona Lisa, not Money Bart. Now,
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: if you go to Google and you type Season 22
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: of The Simpsons, it just completely pretends like Lona Lisa
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: never exists, doesn't it? What? Because iMessage... guy and i
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: was like we're doing money but next and he was
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 1: like just so you know it's lona lisa and i

• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: said s22 e03 i was like huh weird.
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 2: And then i pronounced faux fox and dan i just
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 2: laughed at me.
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: But thank you again, guys, for all of your support
