You idiot. Yah, do you know what you just gave up? Who
0:04
the hell are you the wisest, wettest man you'll ever meet? Go On,
0:10
you just walked away from the sweetest, most beautiful woman a guy could
0:13
want. In ten years, she never had the last slice of pizza,
0:17
and she's never complained every election. She wishes she could vote for both guys
0:22
because they both seem nice and there's a light inside her that makes everyone else
0:27
look better. And you blew her off, dude, She's got three kids.
0:34
Really well, she's still great. Four finger discount due. Welcome to
0:54
Fourthing your Discounts where this week we're going to be reviewing the episode regarding Maggie,
0:59
I'm at It and I Am Guy. Welcome to the episode. A
1:03
very season seventeen episode. One might say I liked this one up until the
1:08
point at the end, like I didn't. I actually thought, in my
1:11
nose, this was actually the best version of Himer we've had this season until
1:15
the last twenty seconds, Like they just couldn't help themselves, like Tummy at
1:19
one point in this episode where Hammer was a bad husband. Look, you've
1:22
got a good point. For some reason that it felt to me like him
1:26
trying to win Marge back was not necessarily out of love, was more sort
1:32
of like out of wounded pride or something like that, which makes sense.
1:37
I guess what makes you say that because because everyone else, everyone else was
1:41
remembered and you felt like, oh, I'm being left out, you know,
1:42
and he sort of he was doing all his various things to try and
1:46
win her back. But I don't know, none of it felt sincere.
1:48
Maybe I am just sort of tainted by a lot of recent episodes we've had
1:52
where Homer has just been a dick. I mean maybe, and this episode
1:55
to some degree felt like, you know, the Simpsons stuff, recognizing that
2:00
and pointing out and messing around with it and having a bit of fun with
2:02
it and maybe saying, well, yeah, maybe we maybe we could break
2:07
them up or something along those lines. What did Homer do to win Marge
2:14
back that you feel like you wouldn't have done? Just say, Louise lost
2:16
her memory and you couldn't and she wanted her to remember you to grab for
2:20
a nice dinner, took her back to their first date, treat her to
2:23
flowers and gifts, and then gave her the space she needed when she wasn't
2:27
quite ready. Okay, yes that's true. I don't know yet. I'm
2:34
not saying I wish I had to explained why this episode sort of rubbed me
2:37
the wrong way. It's just I don't know why I did. I mean,
2:39
it's not one that I hated, and it's not one that I even
2:42
kind of like, oh, this feels lazy, although I mean one of
2:46
my notes is is this going anywhere? Because I think it took a very
2:50
long time for them to sort of reach the even if it didn't actually take
2:54
that long in actual time, if we're like this first bit is going on
3:00
forever and it's kind of like a whole bunch of oven. I've really enjoyed
3:02
the opening act. I thought it was a believable and really simple home as
3:06
scheme that I could buy into, like he's getting in the mail of somebody
3:08
else and and he's just not telling anybody about it. It reminded me of
3:13
when we had the last one, where we had The Frozen mail Man,
3:15
where the opening act was just like it could have been a story in or
3:17
something. I thought that the idea of Homer getting someone else's mail and living
3:21
their life and then Marge I thought Marge joining in eventually, and then them
3:24
trying to keep it a secret from the kids that they're living this double life
3:27
on the side as this other couple could have been a story in itself.
3:30
I actually didn't mind that you're reading a lot more into it than I did.
3:35
To me, it just felt like, Okay, yeah, they're getting
3:38
someone else's mail and occasionally taking advantage of it. But oh no, No,
3:43
it just felt like it was spinning its wheels for the longest time until
3:47
the inciting incident of Marge losing her memory. Because that happened like the four
3:52
minute mark, the Marge losing her memory. Wow, because it felt a
3:54
lot longer to me. No, yeah, because she because she had lost
3:58
her memory before the end the first act. Okay, because it ends with
4:01
Homer one of my favorite moments. I'll get to that, but it ends
4:04
with her in hospital. But yeah, I've got to go here. I'm
4:08
really enjoying his opening acts and feel like they could have stretched this out.
4:11
They really wanted to two more of like an a plot for an episode and
4:14
have a beplot sort of as filler as well. But I just think the
4:16
idea of Homer and Marge living this double life and the side by getting by
4:19
getting the incorrect mail and not telling them about it is. I was all
4:24
for it. I liked it. I liked that idea in theory, I
4:28
really don't, I mean the whole Okay, yeah, we've got we've got
4:31
the Yeah, I'm better blow one of my trivia questions. We've got their
4:35
mail. We got the wine coolers mail. It's like, oh wow,
4:41
they're getting nice steakes and oh they read they read these fancy magazines. Oh
4:45
they got invited to a wedding and all this kind of suthings like yeah,
4:47
maybe the grass is green on the other side, and you know this kind
4:50
of stuff. You pitched it very well. Say now I'm thinking about it's
4:55
like, oh yeah, because my theory is that's like you could have Lisa
4:59
saying you can't I've been doing this, and all of a sudden, this
5:00
extra couple that they've been getting the mail of has a daughter who gets like
5:03
pony writes subscription or something. Lisa's like, but you know, I couldn't
5:08
enjoy writing ponies, and Lisa buys in as well, and all of a
5:10
sudden, the Simpson's family living this double life as this winegarten. There's the
5:13
answer question, wine gun. They become and you have the wine gardens and
5:17
they're living their own life as the wine guns. Well I wish, yeah,
5:20
I wish they'd done that. Now, I wish I wish they'd been
5:24
the whole episode. I think, I think another thing that kind of rubbed
5:29
me the wrong way. And this is this is very much a my problem,
5:31
not the show's problem, everyone else's problem. Marge losing a memory by
5:38
way of of a bit of a shadowt to Million Dollar Baby, the Clinicswood
5:43
movie where Hillary Swank is the boxer. I mean, do you lose a
5:46
memory by clonking her head on the on the stool. If you've seen Million
5:49
Dollar Baby, it's maybe from two thousand and four. Hillary Swanks a boxer.
5:55
She's, you know, one of the Best Actress Award for that film.
5:58
She won the best actually one of the Best Actress oscar for that absolutely
6:02
spoiler, but she's in the ring. She gets king hit from behind,
6:05
falls down, hits her head, hits her neck on a stool, ends
6:09
up quarter replegic. It's it's a really good movie, but it's so fucking
6:13
depressing. I mean, I remember I remember watching it not long agoing,
6:17
oh my god, this is just bumming out for the rest of the day.
6:21
So yeah, for for March to sort of lose her memory in that
6:27
way, I'm like, not exactly, yucks. But anyway, as I
6:31
said, my problem, I think I will say that I had here his
6:34
little a little nippick for this episode was that it seemed a little off that
6:39
Marge would be throwing Home out of his own house because she doesn't remember him.
6:43
But then my defense for it was maybe they're sort of pitching a Homer
6:46
is just willing to give us some space until she remembers him. But you
6:48
know, the kids, they clearly are sort of saying too much, No,
6:53
he is dad, Like you know it's yeah, and there would be
6:55
proof, there would be photos and there would be histories. Like just because
6:58
you don't remember it doesn't mean that he's not your husband. I do get
7:00
the fact that you don't might not love him anymore, but you don't really
7:02
remember him. But it's like, clearly here is the father of these children.
7:09
Another thing too, I wanted to touch on we mentioned it earlier,
7:11
was the ending here, So you had Homer coming to Marge's defense, which
7:15
I think is honestly one of the better Homer moments we've had in a very
7:18
long time, because he did all of that defending Marge to this stranger without
7:25
any idea that she was even listening, just doing it because he's just like,
7:28
she is the best woman in the whole fucking world. How could you
7:30
possibly do this to her? And then they ruin that by having that last
7:33
twenty seconds of her remembering me. Because you get drunk all the time and
7:38
you're own enabler. Of course I am, and that's why we're a perfect
7:41
couple. I'm like your letter the plane. And then you started to get
7:45
a crushed into the ball, like what are you doing? Like you had
7:48
you had your ending, You had it right there, you just had to
7:53
reach for it and you kicked it away. Why why? That's when that's
7:59
when you put up the active abuse of credits, and that's when you started
8:01
running the closing credits. That's when you have the doo doo doo doo doo
8:05
year because we don't need that last Yeah what was it ten fifteen seconds?
8:09
Yeah, well, actually close to the thirty seconds of yeah, all there,
8:13
you get drunk all the time. You enabled me I'm now we're driving,
8:16
you're drunk right now? Sure I am? It's oh man, so
8:20
yeah, it's like I forgot it was season seventeen for a saying you had
8:24
me, you had me? Why you're you lost us? Like, oh
8:31
boy, just can't help yourself. You're fucking just cannot help yourself. You
8:35
have a perfect fucking ending for the story and you fucked it. Why?
8:41
God, I was angry. I was so fucking angry. I got to
8:43
the end. I was like, what a lovely little sentiment, sentimental endingy
8:46
flat. We haven't had these for a long Oh wait a minute, I'm
8:48
was drunk driving in Margins the Enablo Okaya? Was this episode codependent da because
8:52
you wouldn't fock know the difference between these two endings. Horrors. Honestly,
8:56
I was really angry, and you shouldn't get this angry an animated show.
8:58
But when you're reviewing this show every single week, and very rarely do you
9:03
get the moments for success when it comes to like a truly sentimental ending that
9:07
felt well earned, and then they fucked it? Why? And maybe that's
9:13
why I know you said, yeh didn't like the story throughout, but I
9:16
feel like that ending would have left like a full stop on your negative thoughts
9:18
in the episode, because it would have left you with a bad frame of
9:22
mind. If I had ended with the sentimental ending, you may have gone,
9:24
oh no, it wasn't that great, but at least we had the
9:26
ending at the end. But because it ended with that shit, you're just
9:28
like, oh, well, fuck this episode. You know that's true.
9:31
Yeah, when you stick the landing, it's it's easy to forgive anything or
9:35
not anything, but many of the faults and have come before it. And
9:39
you're right. I mean, that was a touching sentiment and a very nice
9:43
way to sort of wrap things up and to you know, get back into
9:46
the status quo. But it seems like there's a lot of meanness in some
9:52
of these recent episodes, like yeah, just a bit of a bit of
9:56
a mean spirited feel to them in some parts, and that ending there right
10:05
to me, I'm just thinking about this right now. How would you end
10:07
it? Because Margine needs to get her memory back, she needs to remember
10:09
home before the end of episode ends. You could go of what they went
10:13
with and have the fact that she admits that she's an enabler and that's why
10:16
she's the perfect wife for Homer because he's an idiot. Or you could have
10:18
her over listening in on him talking to this guy without him realizing, and
10:22
her going, I remember you now because you're the only person who truly understands
10:26
me. Fucking that's it. Done and yeah and it all walk off into
10:31
the sunset with the fucking sea breeze and a nice little song in the background.
10:33
Done. Fuck me, it's not that hard, guys, as as
10:37
he as Marge hears him saying these nice things about it. Cut in a
10:41
few flashback bits. Cut cut to them in high school. Cut to them,
10:46
you know, being all lovey dovey and all that kind of play the
10:48
get close to you, that that their song is close to you, play
10:52
that like, fuck you has it right there? You could you could see
10:54
it, and it looks it's it's an easy lab and it's and it's very
11:00
uh. Yeah, it touches us when we want to be touched, so
11:03
to speak. Yeah, but no, you did it another way and the
11:09
wrong way. There was a it was a fifteen centimeter part and you pulled
11:13
out your driver. Honestly, just like, fuck me, I was just
11:16
like, what is happening of all the things to have done. You did
11:20
it, like, I just didn't get it. I was just like,
11:22
the fuck. But the episode up to that point I really enjoyed. Honestly,
11:26
I really really enjoyed it. But man, they screwed that ending.
11:30
My favorite What were your favorite moments from regarding margin, mister, mister Simpson,
11:33
mister Davis, that's Simpson. My goodness. Look, I did have
11:41
one, but I didn't enjoy. It's when Homer is basically being kicked out
11:45
of the house and he's got the speaking. That's about like classics, classic
11:50
Simpsons to me. It really did like that works with hiccups, not have
11:52
kneed, still keeps trying regardless, and at the end I got a bit
11:56
of a kick out of that. Yeah, you got a kick out of
11:58
Mode answering you around in the sewich. Should we tell him? Let him
12:01
enjoy the man? I think he struck oil and Homer, what have you
12:05
done to my face? Next question? You're there eating the paste, all
12:13
right? Hit me with your first question. Oh, I've already sort of
12:16
blind one like who's ma were they getting? And the mistaken name that Homer
12:24
gives them? So what kind of hair does the maid find? Not not
12:31
not a nice straight one. What is the curly one? She had a
12:35
particular name for it. I thought she said it curly here, I know
12:37
what what did she say? Did she did have a name for it?
12:39
What was it? It was a curly whirly, A curly whirly? Yes,
12:43
okay, delicious che But you know, also, you don't want to
12:48
find a pube. I feel like pubic hair and pube like they're so different,
12:54
Like if I found a pubic hair, but okay, if I've had
12:56
a puber, like, yeah, a pube. You do think anyone outside
13:01
Astray uses the term pubes? Let us know, listeners Simpson's mailbag at gmail
13:05
dot com, do you guys use pubs as well? Pubes is our term
13:09
for pubic care. We don't say pubic. We shortened everything. I know
13:13
many countries shortened things, but we like to shorten everything, So public care
13:16
is just pubes. I've heard Nicholas ay pubs, but she's also lived in
13:18
Australia for a decade, so maybe that's what she's I just can't imagine our
13:22
American friends saying, oh, yeah, pubes us. We'd love to we'd
13:26
love to hear from you, guys. Tell us. How do you define
13:28
how do you define pubic hair? What is your remember it? It doesn't
13:33
really seem to be all that popular these days. People are getting rid of
13:35
it. Yeah, it's all gone. Yeah, laser surgery, bam,
13:39
see you later. My first question is what transformer was our homer in the
13:43
opening couch gag? This would proclude my knowledge of transformers. I'm going to
13:48
say Optimist Prime. No, no, Megatron, you idiot, there's Optimist
13:52
Prime. I put the easy one for you. I'm like, this response
13:58
will be I don't know transformers, but I only know Optimus Prime. And
14:01
if you did that, and just like the Simpsons, you fucked it.
14:05
Well, here's a much in my notes. I'm like, I've written down,
14:07
Okay, the title is this the board gag? Is this couch Voltron
14:11
question mark? Oh man? All right, what's your next question? Ned's
14:20
cat's birthdays on the same days as who's ah Patty LaBelle some thing of Patty
14:26
LaBelle? M. My next one is the stakes are from? Where?
14:31
Oh omahu m correct? What on? Hey? Nice one. I'm not
14:39
sure if we've got any more questions. I've gone on point in case you
14:41
can find one more. I've got who when side show malon, who is
14:46
he even talking to its sea captain? Sea captain, that's right, yes,
14:50
I've got my notes. But for that part, okay, I feel
14:52
like feels like Sea Captain's becoming like another side show Malle. It's like the
14:56
shoehorning him into everything. Now yeah, okay, So Sarcha mel is on
15:03
whose shoulders? That's my question, Disco disco stew No, no, I
15:07
think of channel six. I think of Channel six. I think of the
15:13
episode we just record a sexual frishman pander or a whacky mascot or a wacky
15:16
character. Oh oh oh, bumblebee man, bumblebee man. Yes, oh,
15:24
because yeah, the sea Captain is on death man shoulders. Yes,
15:28
correct, yes, because death men bet on the wrong horse or something says
15:31
something on those lines. Yeah. All right, what's your next question?
15:33
If you have any other ones for me, I've got one more. I
15:35
don't have any more, so give me yours. What were the three little
15:39
products that are Marge used to create a little concoction that coursed her to pass
15:41
out? Oh gosh. One was called zug lemon centered zud zud, a
15:48
bramo or a brazo, a braise it, a braise it and oh gosh,
15:54
what was the third one? Was mop and brag, Mop and brag,
15:58
that's right and brag. I'm just reading to Wikipedia page here too,
16:02
by the way, So apparently it guest starred sal Bando and Gene Tennis or
16:06
Tennis as themselves and they are part of the seventy four Oakland Tenland. A's
16:11
all right. So the chop all gag was I will not leak the plot
16:12
of the movie, which no timey little chalk gag then, because the movie
16:17
was soon to come out in two thousand and seven, so I still a
16:18
year away though, but I guess by this time they're already announced that they
16:22
were working on the movie. And I remember at the time it was very,
16:23
very exciting. It's very exciting for a Simptons fan, despite the fact
16:26
that it was well past the point of peak Simpsons, still felt excited that
16:30
we're finally gonna get the Simpsons on the big screen. But the catch gag
16:33
was the Transformer one we were mentioning earlier as well with Homer as I think
16:36
I think it means Vultron, which one came first, Vultron Orld Transformers.
16:41
I wonder which no idea. Let's got a Vultron. I'm gonna google this,
16:44
Vultron or Transformers. Which came first? Vultron or Transformers first? The
16:49
answer is Vultron was the first, premiering in nineteen eighty one as Beast King
16:53
Go Lion. Transformers Series one premier in American syndication in nineteen eighty four after
16:59
the release of the toy line. They've both continued in one form or another
17:02
between the late twentieth and early twenty first century. There's a great episode of

the description of this podcast. Yeah So. The episode was written by Mark
18:11
Wilmore and directed by Mark Mike Frank Polcino. The episode kicks off with Bart
18:17
Millhouse and Nelson spray painting the addresses on the gutters of people around Springfield.
18:22
I remember this specifically happening to us, where a guy came to our door
18:26
and he was like, I've just painted your number. Is when I lived
18:27
with my mum, when I was like a teenager, just painted the number
18:30
of the house on your gutter. It's it's ten dollars. And I was
18:32
like, did mum and dad say you could do that? No, No,
18:34
it's just the thing we do, and you just pay the ten dollars.
18:37
And I was like, why don't have ten dollars? He goes,
18:40
okay, he's my dad home. I'm like, no, okay, then
18:42
do you know what time they're going to be home? I'm like no.
18:45
I'm like, you can't just come to someone's house paint something on their fucking
18:48
property, which is not I guess the gutter is not technically our property.
18:51
It's the cancels. But it's like you gotta just paint something there and say,
18:52
all right, now you're going to pay me money. It's like me,
18:53
what, yeah, but this literally happened to me. The guy was
18:57
like, okay, well, do you know where theyre going home? I'll
19:00
come back And I was like, no, you fucking won't. No,
19:02
you won't. If that if you're a bonaparte, leave an invoice, yeah,
19:08
yeah, and your contact details so we can come to your place.
19:12
Mo rocks out the front with a gun that he thinks he's firing, but
19:15
it actually goes off on its own and he thinks the classes up and joint
19:18
having the number there, and he shoots into the ground by accident strikes our
19:21
sewage but looks like oil. They say, just let him have his moment.
19:25
Ned then offers some honest work for honest pay by painting his garage,
19:27
like no, we don't want that, and he tries to hand him from
19:30
Christian comics as well. I didn't get the names of the comic books.
19:33
I apologize. Then Homer reforms called pious something like that. Yeah. Hammer
19:37
refuses to pay, so they said we're gonna leave you one digit short,
19:41
and Hommer then screws it up because it says seven to four and should have
19:44
written two. He put zero. But he turned into Oakland A's best team
19:47
ever and listens like what are you doing? Does like what one number?
19:49
And then the Oakland A's come pass and give him a honk, but then
19:52
he rubs it off and the post lady, she's very confused. She delivers
19:56
a package of mail order stakes from Omaha to Scott and Brenda Winegarten and as
20:02
Homer calls him, Brendan Wine call Brenda wine cooler. Yes, by then
20:07
questions in shorts, I think I want to be eating or going through other
20:10
lippers mail, and it justifies, you know, all this time we're getting
20:11
all this ship mail. I'm finally getting which people mail and Home in bart
20:15
no one can rationalize, like you Dad. Then mart Ufer's Marge an invitation
20:18
to a wedding. So at this point Marge isn't aware that it's not their
20:22
invitation, is not their not their wedding, which I guess kind of dumbs
20:23
it down a little bit. But anywhare they go to the wedding for Mark
20:26
and Tracy and Marks Like I thought he's blind, but he's so confident with
20:30
these movements. This is Kent Brackman and the Springfield Keys reporting to you from
20:36
the middle of a hurricane. The lid from my coffee cup is long gone.
20:41
Girl. I'm scared, people, truly scared. Take that liberal media.
20:48
Then Marge wins in it what she gets the mail for the cleanup Clean
20:52
for a Day contest, And I was like, the only thing here is
20:55
well Marge got the mail she would have seen on the front that has said
20:57
Brenda Winegarten list. See. I thought when Home was talking about the wedding
21:03
invitation that Marge was a sort of already in on it. It seemed that
21:08
way, didn't it. Yeah, yeah, it's a better way to get
21:11
to where they got to by having Marge sort of no, and then go,
21:15
but look at this. Cool things we're getting, much like ooh,
21:17
that's how that's I think the story of that episode should have been everyone's saying,
21:21
you can't do this, but look at this. You might like this,
21:23
right, I would like that. Actually, let's go, let's go
21:26
along with this, and one by one each family member gets hooked on it,
21:27
you know, because yeah, it's very relatable everyone. Everyone's kind of
21:32
susceptible to, you know, the grass being greener on the other side,
21:34
and you know, here's a nice way to roll around in that sweet green
21:38
grass. Did you have you ever received the rom mail? And how tempted
21:42
were you to open it? I've received the numerous times because we have a
21:45
nineteen like the street over and they're constantly because our side of street, the
21:49
way it works is sort of like a block, but in between the block,
21:52
there's like a road that goes in from one side to the other,
21:56
so it's like a square, and then like houses around the outside of the
22:00
where but through the middle of it is. There's a light street that goes
22:03
through which also has a nineteen, so we're constantly get in the nineteenth for
22:04
that house. I'm just like, so I'm constantly like delivering it to the
22:07
point I regon once every three weeks we get in their mail. Here's the
22:11
thing. Here are two separate stories sort of related, okay, ones and
22:15
anecdote and wants the story. The thing it is. I live at seventeen
22:21
such and such street. I just don't want you all the fans of four
22:26
kinge oh no. But I'm on the corner of these two streets. So
22:33
I'm number seventeen of this street, but there's number seventeen of the other street
22:40
that's right next to me. It's fucked, You're it's honestly fucked. It's
22:44
it's kind of fucked. So it's real like it's guys on the corner.
22:47
Yet the house next door to him is the same night as fucked it is.
22:52
And now there have been many occasions when it's like, I didn't order
22:56
this, U breeds, but oh man, should I have it? Oh
22:57
God, that smells so good. But no, I'm always going, but
23:02
yeah, have you hadst delivered to your house by accident. Oh yeah,
23:06
the next doors. And I'm like, I didn't order this, but no,
23:08
it smells so good. No, no, it's it's next door.
23:11
You have to go that way, okay, f I No, Well,
23:14
so there we go. I've got I've received mail occasionally and he has popped
23:18
in the mailbox next door or whatever. But the other thing is, if
23:22
we're talking about the wrong person's mail, different story. Listen to the show.
23:26
I'm not sure if Danda kept this in. He's pretty good with the
23:30
editing. He probably just said this is boring, I'm cutting it out.
23:33
But during a recent recording, the problem with poplars and I left that in.
23:40
The delivery man arrived and I'm like, oh, this is that thing
23:42
I ordered. It's in a package. It's I mean I ordered a pair
23:45
of socks. This is a bit bigger than a pair of socks. Being
23:48
very wasteful with the packaging. If you want to hear that shit, it's
23:52
available right now on our Patreon for Taylor the Future. I'm it's hilarious.
23:55
So like basically ends with me saying, all right, keep it. I'll
23:57
give you fifty percent of what it's worth. I'll give it nickel for a
24:00
boat paid person. Here's the thing, Hyeah, did you actually do it?
24:07
It's a woman's shirt and a pair of leggings. I'm like with these,
24:10
may says the color was very nice. The lovely Luise has been going
24:15
gang buses on the eBay recently, you know, selling items for clothing and
24:21
that kind of Well, honey, I received these these items, you know,
24:26
by mistake. How about you put on my knee bay if we sell
24:29
on make a lot of money. Then I got an email from the organization
24:34
that I that I bought the stuff from, saying we believe there has been
24:37
some mistake with delivery because yeah, the outside envelope had my address on it.
24:42
The inside receipt had the person's name on it. So the person who
24:47
never heard of a company doing it before, like the follow up. Usually
24:49
it's just like I said him another one. They said, you a follow
24:52
up, and what happened? They send me the follow up? Yeah,
24:53
and I'm like worries. I went to lu and I said, I've think
25:00
I think the jig is up. I think this is pre emptive calma,
25:06
you know, so I'm gonna have to get these We couldn't find them.
25:08
Oh shit, I've taken the I've taken the clothes over to lose and she
25:14
you know, we're going over see she's doing a big clean up. It's
25:17
a bit like this. It's a bit like this episode as well, because
25:19
you know she's got a house that are coming over. The house has got
25:22
to be immaculate before, you know, the stranger clean the house with the
25:26
cleaner. Yeah, so you know, everything had been put away and we're
25:30
looking all over that we we eventually found it was like, oh my god,
25:36
if their last we're so screwed. Not so squad, but this thing.
25:38
What are they going to do? They it's not none of this is
25:41
your fault. I know it. If you do have it with your my
25:45
seeing it back, they can't actually threaten you with anything like they sent you
25:48
the wrong thing. That's their fucking problem. It's a their problem. Exactly.
25:52
In the end, we found them. I took them into the store
25:56
and geelong, I said, it's your problem now shipping back to thing.
26:00
Come out of this, Lead me out of this. And the girl behind
26:03
the canna put it in her bag and took her home and she's currently wearing
26:06
them on the first date that is career and I'm still screwed. They're gonna
26:12
take my thumbs. The thing is, though, if you hadn't done anything
26:15
about it, it's like you said, karma, you would have got to
26:18
the airport and would have gone, oh, we're really sorry, so but
26:19
we actually accidentally feeled your seat. We have no room on this plane for
26:25
you. Would you mind wedding another couple of weeks? Like that's that's karma
26:26
would have got you back somehow. It would have been some Final Destination ship
26:30
or something. They should totally do you reckon. Final Destination is available on
26:37
planes as a movie to watch, Oh my god, what's the episode?
26:41
If you'll look it over and seeing someone watch Final Destination on the plane,
26:45
don't have In the episode of The Simpsons when I think when oh, you
26:48
know, it's like, hey, here all these movies you could watch,
26:52
and was like Alive, We're a plane clashes or Feelers, We're a plane
26:55
crashes. That maybe like check out these got their fear of flying, they'll
27:00
check out these great movies. It's probably when Marge is a fear of flying
27:04
that might have been the one. Yeah, I think so they've all got
27:07
these inspirational titles like Alive and fearless. Maybe the homely Likes buys rents movies
27:12
for Marge to watch to overcome a fear of flying. That's probably what the
27:15
game I think. Yeah, I don't know. They go there's been somebody
27:18
who's just being an idiot who's watched Fine Ones the Nation or what's another airplane
27:23
crash movie, like a big one? Oh gosh, oh die had to
27:27
die? Had to Yeah, okay, Conair catching a flight to Las Vegas.
27:34
But anyway, so Marge is cleaning up the house because she gets the
27:37
clean for a Day contest. She's going to get someone to come to the
27:40
house and clean that the house. Homer denies that that they's actually getting the
27:42
fake mail, and then we get Brenda at the door, and that's the
27:45
end of that basically, And isn't it. It's just feels like there was
27:48
so much more to explore there and they just didn't do it. But Marge
27:51
then cleans before the cleaner arrives, and she's a vision of what she thinks
27:55
the cleaners talk about when when they're working. Then she sees a spill on
27:59
the law, which is a combination of maple syrup baby spit, and I
28:02
believe shoes scuff or something on those lines, and there's a ring at the
28:06
door. She don't let that judgment or bitch in my house. And then
28:08
she creates a little concoction the fumes of course her to pass out. She
28:11
hits her head on the chair, which is the Million Dollar Baby reference.
28:15
She wakes up in the hospital and she feels like she's being punched by a
28:18
boxing man, which was in case you didn't get the reference before. And
28:22
but the thing is, though, if you hadn't seen Million Dollar Baby,
28:26
even with March saying that, you still wouldn't get the joke. Like,
28:29
I don't think so, no, I mean, I mean it was a
28:32
popular movie at the time, but I mean, yeah, Hillary's hitting her
28:36
head on the hitting her neck on the stool is not necessarily it's like,
28:38
wow, a magic movie moment. It's not necessarily something that everybody remembers.
28:42
And in case you weren't aware, Hibot is officially doctor Nick now holding up
28:48
the fingers in a jar. I'm just like, this is not the Hibot
28:51
from the night here is long as Rogman says, doctor Hibott from the Golden
28:56
Area is long gone. Marge has lost her memory. She's opening her eyes.
29:03
Oh, my head feels like it was punched by a boxing man.
29:07
How many fingers are my hole to go? Oh? Very good, Now
29:12
I'll put them back in the jar. Now I have a question. Who
29:17
are you people? She doesn't recognize us, You munster? What have you
29:23
done to my face? We cut after commercial. Marge is reading Amnesia monthly
29:27
with tips on finding your way home on the back pages, has a brain
29:30
with a question mark over it, and he explains that Marge has retro grade
29:36
amnesia and you need to jog her memory, oh jugging, and then something
29:41
to turn your amnesia too. I'll make it so your amniia go scramnesia and
29:45
private private room for her, come as the man who's sleeping, and she
29:48
thinks of Hummers, her uncle. And she said, how like there's so
29:51
much more ravage than I am. And the kids like explain who they are?
29:55
And I'm your favorite. I don't think I could never have a favorite.
29:56
And he talked to me in a week and bart what's across bike?
30:00
And she says, even though I'm quite amnesia, I'm got an idiot.
30:03
Then there was time to go home though, because the insurance company they said
30:06
you're as well as we're gonna pay for but then talks down their house and
30:11
home starts choking. I think you can almost put the choking to bed now,
30:15
right, It's almost like they're acknowledging how silly it was. I mean,
30:18
in the nineties it felt it fits the show, but now it doesn't
30:22
anymore. Yeah. I think when the show first started, like, oh,
30:27
this family is just like you, and you know, you'd never have
30:30
a family on TV that would be like, oh, I got a corporal
30:33
punishment this kid. Yeah yeah, And of course the Simpson took it to
30:37
extremes, but yeah, now and now it does feel kind of played out.
30:41
It's like it's almost like see the Lane or Choke the Sun. We
30:48
now have a tour of the town, almost driving her around, choke her
30:51
memory again. We get side show Mela McAlister on top of the shoulders,
30:55
a deaf man and bumblebee man and I'll just go here, what mccallister's here?
30:59
Now we're going on here, And of course these sides show mail moment
31:03
for the episode. I can't record the last episode We've gone without him having
31:07
a piece of dialogue. But they're fighting over what was the best type of
31:10
Cherry, I think, and they're March points out, why is it drugs?
31:12
Maraschino, yes, and then March points out why is it drug add
31:15
it driving a school bus? And I'm like, it's almost like it's a
31:18
Frank Grimes scene here, where it's just like someone in the real world going
31:22
to Spriver and going what the fuck, like pointing out how absurd this town
31:26
actually is in all. Honestly, I think you only need a Frank Grimes
31:30
episode once in the show's entire run. But the thing is, though,
31:33
by the time season seventeen to come around, there would have been a generation
31:36
who may not even remember the Frank Grimes episode. That's that's nearly ten years
31:38
prior. Okay, if you put it that way, because it's honestly,
31:42
I put The Simpsons on and it pains me at the moment because the kids
31:47
aren't quite old enough to really understand it. But when we were a kids
31:49
growing up the nine, it's the Simpsons were appealing. Some of it was
31:53
a lot of it was the humor, but most of all, it was
31:56
just these this cartoon on television. They know they're yellows. They looked different.
32:00
It was like you looked at the visuals and you found that funny.
32:02
But kids in twenty twenty three, like Home Holly and an Alliott. They
32:07
don't want to watch a show that has ninetient emotions. They want to have
32:10
a show that it was crisp and clean and HD. So they enjoy watching
32:13
the new ones because they look better. When they get older, they'll appreciate
32:15
the old ones more, but at the moment, they like these new ones.
32:19
So it's it's made me. It's made me sort of see these new
32:23
episodes and the different likes. I'm just like, Okay, there would have
32:27
been kids who grew up with these episodes that we're currently reviewing season seventeen,
32:30
and they have that nostalgia for them as well. Just because we didn't grow
32:34
up with them and we didn't like it because it wasn't the way we grew
32:36
up with doesn't necessarily mean they're bad. I mean, we've gone back and
32:39
they're are. They're not great, but they're also maybe not necessarily for meat.
32:45
Because I'm comparing it to what I grew up with. You, You've
32:47
got to really see it from both sides. It's not just they're bad because
32:50
I don't like it. It's I don't like it for these reasons as opposed
32:53
through they're bad doesn't mean just because I didn't like it doesn't mean they're bad.
32:55
As what I'm trying to say, You're exactly right. I mean,
32:59
and it's a tough one, you know. Was he you know, get
33:01
a little older, it's like, oh yeah, I mean, well the
33:04
sentence did it perfectly? It was like, am I wrong? No?
33:07
The children are out of touch? And I mean, yeah, you've got
33:10
to recognize that. No, nothing's going to be as enjoyable as you know
33:15
the first time you saw it, or you know, the first time that
33:17
you encounter something. I mean. I mentioned that with Mitch on our latist
33:22
of Reviews talking about Temple of Doom. How I mentioned, with your Temple
33:23
of Doom and I didn't really enjoy it as much as I did when I
33:25
was a kid. And he mentioned Superman four and he's like, Superman four
33:29
will always be his favorite Superman because it was the first Superman that he saw.
33:31
And it's true, the first one you see of a kind of That's
33:32
why Temple of Doom will always be my favorite, regardless of what I think
33:36
of it now, is because it was my introduction to Indiana Jones. You
33:38
know, yeah, absolutely. I wonder if there's people out there who like
33:42
Return of the Jedi more than the first two Star Wars films, because that
33:45
was the first one they saw. Possibly. I mean that last one was
33:49
really targeted towards kids, with the ewaks and stuff very much. So,
33:52
I mean, this is this year is the fortieth anniversary of Return of the
33:55
Jedi, and there are a lot of restrospective pieces, and yeah, more
33:59
than a feel of them were saying this is my favorite Star Wars movie.
34:01
And of course, you know, yeah, you know Star Wars heads going,
34:06
this person's a full But Nicola liked it the most. When when we
34:09
watched Star Wars the first time, she walked out and she goes, I
34:12
think the last one was the best one. I was like really and she's
34:15
like yeah, yeah, she's like the most fun and the good guys won,
34:19
and I was like, oh, put it that way, I guess
34:23
to reach their own man. Yeah. But they get home the Simpsons and
34:29
Hen points out the sun and never touch it and then they hear Maggie and
34:31
I've just got here. So who was watching Maggie? Oh boy? But
34:37
it was ned there at that stage, ned was outside the window. Oh
34:40
okay, Maggie just walks in from the living area and there's no oh boy,
34:45
there's no one sort of reference to who was watching her. But she
34:47
hears Maggie the sucking sound, and she remembers Maggie. Then Lisa a little
34:52
know it all, and she hears Millhouse is like tost tolerant, tolerant,
34:55
and she remembers that as Bar's best friends, he's not a who was Bart's
35:00
friend or something? Anyway, You're not my best friend? Now who's got
35:04
amnesia? And I'm like, why is Bar so cruel to Meal House?
35:06
But he's been crueled the entire run when we reviewed Summer A four four two,
35:08
and he was meaning that as well. There must have seen you remember,
35:12
like he's always been mean to Meal House? He really has. And
35:15
then Homer thinks that he's next, as you would be. You know,
35:17
it's time for time to remember. But but she does not remember him at
35:22
all. And it must be something unpleasant blocking my memory of you. That's
35:25
a pretty unique distinct ideology to come to. It must be something unpleasant blocking
35:31
my memory of you. Why would you, why would you ever think that
35:35
it must be something unpleasant blocking my memory of you, but that Flanders arrives
35:38
and his cat's birthday same day as Patty LaBelle. Homer is now using the
35:43
photo album to try and rejeeg those memories as you would get the photos of
35:45
him fighting President Bush and the current President Bush, which apparently is the only
35:51
time the George W. Bush appears on The Simpsons as himself. He also
35:54
appeared in the one with his dad, but he was the cutout. It's
35:58
your son, Jeb and jog Pus Junior and also showing that bag your appels
36:05
who's boss in the photos as well, and Home suggests them snuggling and she
36:08
has no snuggling means. And now we've discussed this, I think, but
36:12
did the Simpsons come up with the term snuggling for sex? You were of
36:15
a mind that they did? If I feel like I hadn't, well,
36:17
I hadn't seen it beforehand anywhere snuggling? Can you call anyone else saying snuggling?
36:22
Want a snuggle? It feels like a word that's been around forever,
36:25
But then so was the Simpsons. Then it's actually quite good. Oh,
36:30
how about any whispers? You describe me? Had a parallel park? You
36:36
used to love my non sacredness. Why can I remember everyone in town except
36:40
my husband? Simple? Your brain is trying to save you from your backed
36:45
up toilet of a marriage. Have you been talking like this from my entire
36:49
marriage? Oh no, no, We've always honored your choice. I don't
36:54
know I should give home or a chance. But on the other hand,
36:58
I feel nothing for this is horrible. We've got to tell Dan. Oh
37:08
no, Burton, lie, They're gonna tell me something horrible. What by
37:15
the police department? A hang glider? You said, fright? Crime from
37:17
above? You said? You said, you're only one hundred and eighty pounds,
37:22
Shut up and look for crime. Homer then arrives home with gifts because
37:25
heart is a symbol for love. He's trying to win Marge over. Were
37:29
getting fifty first dates vibes in this? Yes, that as well? Absolutely?
37:32
And I mean there was also a movie made after this. Certainly what
37:37
year was fifty first dates? Don't yees? So? Okay, they're probably
37:44
paying tribute to that. There was a movie a few years after this called
37:45
The Vow One Yeah movie though, isn't it a bit? Yeah? Sort
37:53
of based on a true story apparently about a woman who woke up from Kama
38:00
with yeah, like retrograd Anesia and liked didn't recall her husband, and so
38:06
he sort of, well, we're meant to be together forever. I'm going
38:09
to win you over all over again. I think they eventually did end up
38:14
together, which was nice. So two thousand and four was fifty first Dates,
38:16
and apparently the film was remade in India as Satha Yah Bahama in two
38:21
thousand and seven, and there's another one in two and fourteen they got remadeers
38:25
and then in Japan they got remade to fifty First Kisses and twenty eighteen in
38:30
Iran you got made in two thousand and five in Mexico had his own version,
38:32
so very six. I really enjoyed fifty first Dates. Oh, I
38:37
mean I loved Drew Barrenmore and Drew Roan Sand the two of my favorite actors
38:39
actresses of all time. They've just got that connection, don't they. Those
38:43
two were just like, how are you guys not in love forever? Like
38:45
how are you guys so much Travolta and living in Newton John It's like how
38:49
did it never happen? You know, you feel like at some point in
38:52
their lives they've gotten down and dirty, right, they had to have like
38:54
like how can you not do It's it's just it's like magic every time you're
38:59
together. I look at the budget of fifty first day, it's seventy five
39:04
million box office one ninety eight. Oh my gosh. But there was a
39:07
portion of astonished that it cost seventy five million to make. But yeah,
39:12
there was a portion of time though where it just felt like Sunda could really
39:14
do no wrong, couldn't it. And then he sort of started getting it
39:15
and you really started released a few films. You're like, oh, I'm
39:19
not too sure about this, but they still fucking made money. That's the
39:21
thing. Oh yeah, we are very pro sand Man here at the four
39:27
Finger discn network, And yeah, he seems to have got it. Sassed
39:30
you know, Sad do you have a listening to this? I would gladly
39:31
have you come on this podcast and just do four hours of her. Bother
39:37
man I Sandlon just doing the tire interview, just oh I love Itam Sandler
39:45
just seems like such a guy like looks after his mates. Just yeah,
39:50
yeah, don't come and talk to us about it. Yes, we'd appreciate
39:52
it. You'd have fun too. I'm sure you like the Simpsons, Adam
39:59
Sandler. You must have a favor an episode out there. And I don't
40:00
think the Simpsons ever hung shit on Adam Sandler. They have, I've blocked
40:04
it out of my memory. Indeed. Well, when we get a little
40:07
busy with the socials in a little while, let's add Adam Sandler on this.
40:09
I mean that, I'm sure he checks his Twitter on the regular.
40:13
Let's do that, indeed. But then, as we said that the police
40:16
are stuck in the tree, Home arrives with a gift. That's right,
40:19
and he takes it to dinner at Luigis. He's paid Luigi to sing a
40:21
song. Luisa says, my many truly hates. I'm like, why what
40:24
is home every done? To Luigi? Yeah, he wish he's understood Italian
40:29
and he takes it disturb Putter lots merry old play Center where they had their
40:32
first little down and dirty moment in the in the old windmill there, and
40:37
Marsh's I'm not that kind of girl, and he says, well, you
40:39
know you loved it when the windmill tapped your button. It's like, no,
40:43
you genuinely wear that kind of girl. March like like, that's the
40:45
one thing we've enjoyed about this couple is that they're they're willingness to just go
40:50
for it like that. They seem not kinky, but like a very active
40:53
sex life. Yeah, uninhibited, shall we say. And look, if
40:59
I can offer any advice to the people out there, it's like, find
41:00
yourself a partner who will do it on the put put course. And then
41:05
that's not euphemism. The best thing that ever happened to her was forgetting about
41:07
him, and it feels a little much felt. It was like, yes,
41:12
you've got a family of three. This story, yeah, this particular
41:17
story has to go along a certain path. You know. Well they've got
41:21
a break up or they've got it. You know, she there's got to
41:23
be an obstacle where she doesn't want to get back with this guy. And
41:28
okay, yeah they've done that, but they've gone about it in I don't
41:31
know a way that just feels not right. I mean it should have been
41:36
just like I know you're trying, Homer, but no, I'm not feeling
41:38
it. I don't know who you are. I can't live this way.
41:42
You just haven't like that as opposed to I'm insulted and you're just the worst
41:45
and blah blah blah. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe that's why this
41:49
sort of didn't bring true to me. I don't know. I do think
41:52
Homer trying to lay the moves on her before she remembered him was probably a
41:54
little bit much like I was like, ease up, mate, that there's
41:57
time for that, probably trying to Yeah, he's trying both the character and
42:01
the stick. So speaking. Then we get Skinner and Edna. Unfortunately for
42:06
Seymour, his birthday is over. We're coming from commercial and Marge has kicked
42:08
at home and now she's kicking him out or he's given us some space anyway.
42:12
The kids don't want him to leave. Bart says, you know,
42:15
I've got this garden of fs on my report card. You planted them all
42:19
and a Homer tries the spooking method, which was very funny. Boot Marge,
42:24
I realized you've made up your mind, and I want you to know
42:28
that I deeply respect You're boo that watch my hiccups not amnesia, I know,
42:32
I just thought maybe boo oo. So he moves him with Grandpa until
42:38
Marge remembers him again. Let me get Marge, Patty and some on their
42:42
way to Showy Field. They're taking her to a single mixer. Patty in
42:45
someone not very horrible in this episode, horrible, very unsupportive, Yeah exactly.
42:52
I mean it fits the character, I guess, but still, I
42:53
don't know. I feel like someone and Patty have turned someone to a corner.
42:57
I feel like the whole we hate Homer angles kind of gone out because
43:00
I've had the moment of Homer helping someone get the baby and Homer helping Patty
43:04
marry her wife, and I'm just like what, I get the feeling they
43:08
could still be kind of they could be Marge can do better, yeah,
43:14
and you not take them to the single mixer and things like that. Well,
43:17
I mean they're taking Marge's lead, heer. I mean, Marge's kicked
43:21
home around of the house, so you know, I can I can kind
43:23
of buy them going, oh, well, she's single, now let's you
43:29
know quick, let's fix this up before she comes to her senses and you
43:31
know, hook her up with someone else. I can buy that. It
43:34
makes sense to me. It makes sense that Patty and someone would do that,
43:37
and I can see them doing it in a way that's not like we
43:42
hate Homer, but more like time for Marge to do it right, time
43:45
for you know, time for a do over, if you know what I
43:47
mean. Yeah, could you ever do speed dating? I don't think I
43:51
could do it. I just too awkward for me. No, I feel
43:53
like I played the long game. I couldn't win someone over in five minutes
43:58
precisely. Yeah, the way I see people down over time, you know,
44:06
this is just ten chances for me to make ten bad first impressions.
44:10
Man actually refers to with exciting only people. Just how you met your husband.
44:14
Oh no, I met my three friends like normal people. But then
44:16
we have marched on a date, so that the killer husband. What time
44:20
did what you did? Forty old version come out? That would have been
44:22
after this, wouldn't it because we had a speed dating scene and that didn't
44:24
we Yeah, two four was twenty seven forty year old versions. In no
44:34
way, that movie is nearly twenty years old. Surely two five, Holy
44:37
fuck, it's eighteen years old that movie. That's madness. I can't believe
44:39
the movie came out eighteen years ago. So this that came out a year
44:43
before this episode came out. Yeah, so it wouldn't have been a reference
44:45
to that movie. But I'm just surprised that movie came out that long ago.
44:49
I can't believe it's really two decades. Two decades, father Time just
44:52
here to make fools of us. All. It's one of those films where
44:57
ever, since I've watched that movie, I can't look at Kelly Clarkson and
45:00
not laugh. All Right, So basically, yeah, Marge, they're going
45:06
to the speed dating scene, but the killer husband Marge pushes the horn with
45:08
the nice man, decent living. It's just he's very Georgia stands and the
45:12
nice member, the decent living isn't he got the chip on his shoulder.
45:15
Yep. And then we got the guy who she thinks is a male gay.
45:19
I was like, that was an odd lion. I think he's a
45:22
male gay. I'm like what. But then she she finds a guy who
45:28
is similar brothers to Patty and Summer. They you know, they took they
45:31
brought him here and he's suggesting that we're adults, let's go get a cup
45:35
of coffee. I feel like I watched it and I was like, I
45:37
feel like that's how Guy would when Guy I found the right person, he'd
45:39
go, we're adults here. Let's just go have a cup of coffee.
45:42
Like, I feel like this is what you would do. That's very nice.
45:46
Like I do like to think I would behave this way under that circumstances.
45:55
I smell romance. It's a perfect night for love. Would you pretty
46:00
ladies care to join us for some champagne? Go suck a rat ass and
46:04
over. Then the phone rings at Grandpa's and Paul Grandpa is so lonely,
46:07
he tells him to savor the sound of the phone ringing and turns out it's
46:10
Lenny and Carl. And then has happened to see Marge on a date.
46:14
He's touching her arm and they're both very quiet, and it's not the awkward
46:16
quiet either, so that needs to be said silence, yeah, but yeah,
46:21
but it's not an awkward silence. Homer then arrives. He's hanging out
46:24
by the rocks and he sees the guy and oh my god, he's Marge
46:28
add my dream man. And he said they're gonna make a play to try
46:30
and win a back. When he gets a whole over him, get swamped
46:35
by over the seaweed and everything, and he's just thankful that she's finally found
46:37
someone that makes her happy, and I was like, this is too good
46:42
of Homer, is too nice? Is something's happening. I don't understand what's
46:45
happening here. And then Marge comes clean. She goes, okay, I
46:47
feel like we're both you know, we'd be honest here, and this guy
46:50
just walks out on her and Hommer confronts the guy, and I was like,
46:52
I've got my notes here. This may be the best Homer moment we've
46:54
had in the seasons. It honestly is like this felt like like classic Homer
47:00
because I like the most about it was that he wasn't aware that she was
47:04
listening. He was just making that guy aware, like you always like you
47:07
idiot. You know, in ten years, she's never had the last last
47:10
of pizza, and she's never complained. You know, she wants to vote
47:13
for both people because she what was the reason? I know that she thinks
47:17
they're both nice. There's got to be something good about each of them.
47:20
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and she's a lighting side of her that makes
47:22
everyone else look better. And I was just like, that's actually like so
47:25
lovely And the fact that he didn't know margin was listening to that it's just
47:29
like, this is the Homer that we love. If you can produce this,
47:35
do this more often. I know I've said that a lot lately,
47:37
but it's like, if you can do this, why not. But I
47:39
do like the dude. She's got three kids. Really, but that's fine.
47:45
That that's slimness. But Margin really appreciates it. And this is where
47:49
the episode should have ended. So let's end it here. You know,
47:52
something else happens. We already mentioned that, So let's just say Margin Homer
47:59
get back together and live happily ever after. No, I'm going to do
48:04
I'm going to get out man Jaden Lebron, who can do a good personation
48:07
of Simpsons for characters, and I'm going to get him to read doub what
48:08
March has in this scene, and then cut it to them walking off into
48:13
the sunset with a nice little like you said that the flashbacks were birds and
48:16
walking off happily hand in hand together. That's what this needed. I don't
48:22
want to go on a rantic game, but my goodness, that last scene
48:24
it triggers me. It really like it just I just don't The thing is,
48:28
I just don't understand why they felt a need to do it. Why
48:30
do they need to remind you? I know you think there's guy's getting back
48:34
on tracking is pretty cool, but really is a dirt bag, and she's
48:36
an idiot for allowing him to do it. She's the third problem. She's
48:38
the enabler. It's all March's fault. Like what, they don't blame his
48:40
guet. You think they would have recognized by now that you know, Yes,
48:45
the Simpsons is a comedy, but you know it's a comedy with heart,
48:49
and that's why we tune in. You know, we don't need you
48:52
to undercut Sometimes you don't need to undercut the good emotional payoff with Oh,
48:57
by the way, these are the jokes. Folks, don't do it sometimes
49:00
just go go for the sap be saba. What do we learn Balmer?
49:05
What'd you learn from the episode? Mister Davis? Speed dating would not be
49:12
my forte. I would just be I would cut out two dates in say
49:15
let's go get a cup of coffee. I learned that three I learned that
49:17
from you. I'll let that three kids as one too many. From forward,
49:24
your name be all right, it's time for the Guy Davis New Name
49:28
Championship. Now we didn't have one last week because last week was the episode
49:31
that we're Mitch and I reviewed many many moons ago, so we wapped it
49:35
up on the feed. So we've skipped a week. So the current leader
49:37
board still stands at this In our first position, we have Luke mccon sixteen
49:42
points. In second position, Kyle muldoon and Heath apple Be both on twelve,
49:45
and in third position we have Adam Moorehouse on ten points. All right,
49:49
hey me, mister Davis, what do we got this week? Okay,
49:52
one point goes to Huma. That's pretty good. That's very good whom
49:59
with a question mark. That's our man, Luke McKay. He's done it
50:01
again. He's now in seventeen point spot on. So that's a very good
50:04
title. I really appreciate that. That's a pretty good one. It's not
50:07
quite as good as the one that gets two points. She's momnesia. Oh
50:10
not bad, not bad, that's all. It's our man, Mark Boston
50:14
Burgess. I'll tell you what. Mark is climbing that leaderboard. He's now
50:16
on that two points gets him on eight points. He's probably not going to
50:21
win it, but he's like he's getting up there. He's doing well.
50:22
Mark boston Burgess there with it with a two point. He's now at eight
50:24
points one on, so some good dark horse stuff from Mark boston Burgess.
50:29
Three points goes to don't you forget about me? That's a winner, It
50:36
really is, isn't it? That is hot dog? That is our David
50:42
Mott. So David Mott. Wow, David Moss now at ten points.
50:45
Look out, Luke, they're coming boy you buddy, Yeah, alright buddy,
50:51
But that's very good. New leaderboard currently Luke McKay on seventeen and first
50:53
Kyle Molding Heat that will be still in second on twelve and now David Mott
50:57
is tied with Adam Woohouse in third on ten points. Remember I want to
51:00
be a part of this is going to be part of the Fourth Finger Discount
51:04
Patreon group on Facebook where you can be in there for a little as two
51:07
dollary dues. We can support the show and help keep the lights on here
51:10
at the Fourth Finger Discount Network. But now, mister Davis, it's time
51:14
for some mail bag questions. Mailbagail demail is here. First question here Andrew
51:21
JP, the top contributor. If you go buy this Facebook little thinking,
51:25
I says here. Why do you think the teen season has so many Marge
51:29
Homer marriage and turmoil plots where the writers going for shock value by splitting Homer
51:32
in Marge up all the time, or they just run out of ideas.
51:36
I don't know if it's a case if they ran out of idea das,
51:39
but they seem to have some sort of infatuation with splitting them up, don't
51:43
they. And it's just rinse and repeat a lot of the case, isn't
51:45
it. I'd like to know the ages and marital statuses of the writers in
51:52
the Simpsons writers room at this time. I mean, I'm wondering if there
51:55
were sort of like a lot of divorce youngsters or who were you know,
52:00
middle aged and maybe feeling that seven year rich and you know, acting out
52:05
there marital drum and bringing their marital dramas to work bad and the fantasies.
52:12
But the thing is, it's like the last few times where they've split them
52:15
up, you're almost on Homer side. It's like, I wouldn't actually do
52:19
anything all that wrong. I mean there's one recently where Marge is like get
52:22
out and I was like, I wouldn't do anything. Well, why are
52:24
you kicking him out for so it's like they're breaking him up now to where
52:28
home like it used to be a case of Homer does something ridiculous and Marge
52:31
splits up with him, and but she takes him back because you know that's
52:35
what she does. But now it's like Homer does something that's like kind of
52:37
annoying, but it's Marge like, get out. It's like what and your
52:42
your marriage is so thin now that you're throwing him out over that? Yeah,
52:45
it was. It was the one where it was the one where they
52:46
found the bra That's right, it's like, why are you throwing what the
52:51
fuck? All of which feels kind of immature, Yeah, for one of
52:53
a better term in terms of like, oh there's marital discord. The immediate
53:00
sort of option is the nuclear option. Let's let's split them up. I
53:04
say, I don't think our marriage can survive this. It's a little bit
53:07
more worldly, mature, smart, emotional to admit that marriages go through problems
53:15
and have these and have the couples work them out, you know. I
53:19
mean I think they had that in earlier episodes where it's like, you know,
53:22
sometimes your partner is going to disappoint you. Sometimes you're not going to
53:25
be you know, in the honeymoon phase. Sometimes it's like, oh,
53:30
I believe it's this person. I'm here too. Even among the happiest couples,
53:34
I mean, you know they're gonna be times like sometimes they're a bit
53:37
of a dog. I'm sure they lovely always thinks this on the regular.
53:42
Nicola right now at that work like I'm running the state of this business,
53:46
like I'm gonna manager of Victorian Tasmania. He's at home talking about the Simpsons
53:51
in an hoodie lucky head. Next question here from Andrew Swan. What's your
54:00
thoughts on having a cleaner. Do you like the idea of paying someone to
54:01
clean up your mess or you like margin that you'd feel too shameful. I
54:07
laughed at margin is, but I'm just like, more I think about it,
54:09
I would actually clean the house a bit first, because I wouldn't want
54:12
people to see my shame. The house is a mess. But sometimes I'm
54:15
watching the kids and Nicola knocks off work and I'm like, I'm sorry,
54:17
I haven't cleaned up yet. But my motto, I explained to it yesterday.
54:20
I'm like, I could spend the day cleaning, but they just mess
54:22
it up again straight away. So it's like it's easier to just let it
54:24
get to the end of the day and clean it up at the end of
54:28
the day and let them destroy it tomorrow, because it was driving me crazy.
54:31
Every Tuesday's Daddy daycare day, and every Tuesday's like I clean up in
54:35
the morning. Kids make a mess, I clean up the mess, they
54:37
make another mess. Ip that mess is make the original mess again. It's
54:39
like I was going insane cleaning up mess after mess after mess. I'd prefer
54:44
to just like, just make a fucking mess and I would clean it once,
54:46
because cleaning up all day drives you bananas. Correct correct now, Look,
54:53
I'm lucky one that if I was to have a clean I don't think
54:57
I've ever had a cleaner in Well, my Mary's coming over to the cleaning
55:00
house, isn't she. You didn't ask you too to clean it, because
55:04
she was like, this is deplorable, Like calm down, Margaret, Mary.
55:08
But at the same time, yes, I'm flying out as we recall
55:13
this, I'll be leaving on a jet plane with lovely Louise Man for California
55:17
tonight. The fun Yeah, you please make sure you played that over your
55:21
phone when you walk off, just so you really Louise. Kids coming on,
55:23
just Louise. No, they're going to Europe with their dad. Oh
55:27
that's right. Wow, it's like a honeymoon. It is indeed. Uh
55:32
yeah, yes, we'll be walking through San Francisco Airport in slow motion with
55:37
that on the speakers. But no, I mean I'll be probably be spending
55:42
much of tonight just cleaning up the house. So when Mum comes over to
55:45
feed Basie the cat, she'd be like, oh, guys, living like
55:47
a human being. But I would be very much a cleaner before the cleaner
55:53
comes. Camp Basic clings on to it that He's like, take me with
55:58
you, Rachel McLean. If your significant other had amnesia and forgot who you
56:04
were, what would you do or mention to make them remember? You?
56:09
Play this like some of our songs. We have songs that we sing together.
56:14
You know that we both enjoy it, Like one of our songs that
56:15
we just both love ap Peel because of the nostalgia, like growing Up is
56:20
Wanted that all we Backstreet Boys, it's like our like nineties song together,
56:24
So we could play that, like playing I feel like playing songs that are
56:28
like our songs would really have because music, and I feel is like the
56:30
best memory jogger, don't you smells and music very much? So, Yeah,
56:35
you're exactly right in that regard. I think another thing that I would
56:39
do, because it tends to make low laugh, is put on some kind
56:44
of put on, some kind of accent, put on because when if we're
56:47
watching TV shows and there's yeah, particularly ninety fiance, there's a variety of
56:52
accents, and I tend the goal was the German because it's gonna be German,
56:55
right, It's always Germans. It's got to be German. And oh
57:00
no, I think I fell a loue because I made her love to a
57:04
good German accent, which is one of my fun don't thing I love to
57:07
do when the fact that she was on the same wavelength or maybe just pitying
57:09
me, Yeah, it was a connection. So I'd probably do that.
57:15
Harrison McClure, if you were to try speed dating, what would be your
57:19
opening line? Yeah, you're right, I probably wouldn't date me either,
57:23
now I know what you're thinking. I'm only speedy in this part. Ryan
57:32
King, if you could raise your memory of seeing a certain film so you
57:35
can watch it for the first time again, what's a good question, What
57:37
would it be? What would what would like to revisit for the first time
57:40
about any prior knowledge? That's a good one. You can't choose one film
57:45
if I it'd be great to not know anything about either and buy strikes Back.
57:50
No, the Terminator, because yeah, if you don't know anything at
57:54
all. I mean, they sort of signal that Arnold is the really bad
57:58
guy, but you know, you're what I mean to think, well,
58:00
is the terminat of the band one or is Carl raise the band one?
58:05
They both look kind of sketchy, and then you know it's revealed, Oh
58:07
my god, it's the Terminator and the terminate as a robot. What the
58:09
fuck? So that's pretty good. Or Predator and not know anything about you
58:15
know, it's like, oh wow, okay, you know Arnold and and
58:17
his and his buddies on this rescue mission or whatever. Oh it's a nasty
58:22
shit going on, but you know, that's life in the jungle for you.
58:24
And then all of a sudden, wait a minute, there's a predator.
58:29
What the hell? I love how to added that sent at the start
58:30
of that film, just to remind you don't worry there will be a monster
58:34
in this at some point, by the way, says fiction. But I
58:42
mean if they didn't have that scene and he went to the movies to watch
58:44
it, you would have gone the fuck you honestly would have thought if wanted
58:46
the wrong movie? Right, Yeah, it's like, okay, so is
58:51
there a predator in this movie? What's going on? The predator? Can
58:54
you think of a twist that you would love to relive, like Empire strikes
58:59
back twist? Can you think a twist that you would love to relive?
59:01
Actually, I think it'd be good to sort of go into pulp fiction and
59:07
really, oh, you've got the bit in the middle. I mean,
59:09
can we can spoil pulp fiction? We mean, yeah, it's like,
59:14
holy Shad Travolta doesn't make it the end, gets killed by Bruce Willis what's
59:17
going on? Yeah? I thought he was the hero or not the hero,
59:21
but I thought he was a central character. Now he's dead. Wait
59:22
a minute, he's alive again? Have they told these stories out of order?
59:27
Holy moly? What a genius? A good good question ranking. I
59:30
really enjoyed that one. Okay, that was indeed a good one. This
59:35
one was just actually just comments to ryans who Andrew JP says Batman returns.
59:38
He was so hype for that movie as a kid, but I was,
59:42
says, but I was such a whimp as the penguin scared me. I
59:45
spent most of the movie hiding my eyes. Now it's one of my favorite
59:46
movies and nostalgic as one of the last movies I saw whilst I was still
59:51
living in Canberra. I'd love to go back and just appreciate it properly.
59:52
And Jesse J says Jrassic World. It's not exactly art, but I've never
59:57
been so delighted in a theater really Drassic huh, Jurassic World of my Jurassic
1:00:02
World. It's no Jurassic Park, but you know, the first one,
1:00:07
at least I was like, it's okay, it's getting the job done.
1:00:10
Characters aren't that interesting, but the kids were starrections pretty good. Kids were
1:00:15
