  So I see you're also traveling with your son. What boy prison are you
• 0:05
  taking him to? Actually, Justin and I are going to the Oregon Shakespeare
• 0:08
  Festival. Sir Peter Hall himself is directing. See Bart, I told you
• 0:12
  think it could be worse. I'm giving a sweatshirt with Shakespeare's face on it.
• 0:17
  Well, we better get back to the prious son. Don't forget the
• 0:19
  menu for a scrap book. Four Finger Discount, dude, welcome to Fourfinger
• 0:45
  Discount. The podcasts that are certainly fourth bus. This week we are HiT's
• 0:48
  a review episode h ab F zero four. It is where on the Road
• 0:53
  to do Well. I'm gy and I'm also very impressed by Dando's delightful dulcet
• 1:00
  tones. Is wonderful singing voice. You have to listeners, you have to
• 1:03
  tolerate me breaking into song occasionally, and I'm amazed that you so so many
• 1:08
  of you remain tuned in during that time. But yeah, Dano doesn't break
• 1:12
  into song often enough, and I think you'll agree you should do it more
• 1:15
  often. You know what's funny is you and I we have our little creative
• 1:19
  outlets that we've we've worked on things over the years, but we've never really
• 1:22
  whether it be shown it to anybody or finished it. And when I was
• 1:26
  a teenager, got the guitar, and I used to love writing songs.
• 1:27
  And I've found an old laptop in the drawer you got through the drawers here
• 1:30
  in the studio. The other day I found an old laptop that had all
• 1:33
  the songs that I've sort of recorded straight into my laptop mic when I was
• 1:36
  like nineteen eighteen years old. I'm like, some of these have I tweaked
• 1:40
  them a little bit, are actually pretty good. But I'm also just like,
• 1:42
  but I'm embarrassed to show them anybody, But like I genuinely think that
• 1:46
  some of them are okay. Like I think, maybe, well I'll have
• 1:48
  to do one day is finish off those things we call them with the prople
• 1:49
  of mics here and maybe thrown out to the patrons and see what they think.
• 1:53
  In my way of eighteen year old Dando's songwriting, I think you should
• 1:57
  absolutely do that. Yeah, I mean, the thing is the most that
• 2:00
  can happen is there to say it's ship And I'm like, yeah, well
• 2:01
  whatever, but you know, but yeah, they didn't be the worst thing
• 2:06
  that could happen. How how is. How is your weekend? How's you
• 2:07
  eat been? My weekend was very nice. Actually there was a little bit
• 2:13
  of business that Again, I know we're being very kind of we're being teasers
• 2:19
  and saying there are big things afoot at the four Finger discount network, But
• 2:23
  there was a little bit of business going on, but also a lot of
• 2:25
  just leisure. I was hanging out with the lovely Louise. We had a
• 2:29
  really nice weekend, just you know, just very chill um, but just
• 2:34
  felt very shall we say connected. It's lovely. It's just good, just
• 2:38
  good to hang out. In regards to those teasers, when are you announcing
• 2:40
  your only fans accountant? I know I should really start charging for a giving
• 2:46
  that. I'm you know, throwing out semi nude picks all the time on
• 2:50
  social media exactly right? Or you're only sending them to me? Do you
• 2:53
  think you said to everybody to send them to me? I thought I was
• 2:55
  the exclusivity, exclusivity of them. Oh, you gotta share it, or
• 2:59
  you gotta share the love. Well, it's planning to share it, isn't
• 3:01
  there? Oh? Unfortunately too much to share? Oh no, I'm talking
• 3:06
  about down there? Oh I thought you were talking about just everywhere. Very
• 3:13
  sweet of you to say so, and wholly inaccurate. We're here to discuss
• 3:16
  that we're on the road to doughwear. Such a bizarre episode and that there
• 3:21
  was to me so much filler but had no resolution. I was like,
• 3:24
  this episode had no ending, but there were so many scenes that just seemed
• 3:27
  to go on forever. I'm like, you're clearly filling time. You couldn't
• 3:30
  think of an ending. You were one hundred and fifty percent right in saying
• 3:35
  so. I mean, yeah, there's at least two opportunities, at least
• 3:38
  two moments in this episode where I'm like, Okay, is this filler or
• 3:44
  are they going for that whole cape for your rake gag stand less extent?
• 3:49
  Yeah, where you know it does the whole three sixty of like, Okay,
• 3:53
  this was funny, Now this is not funny. It's so unfunny.
• 3:58
  It's gone back to being funny. And then it became unfunny game because it
• 4:00
  went so long. That's the thing. It did it at least twice moments.
• 4:03
  I've got it didn't even do a three. It didn't even do a
• 4:06
  three sixty. It did hands to do some maths, yet it did like,
• 4:10
  hey, what's three sixty plus one eighty? It did a five twenty?
• 4:13
  It did I think it's five forties and it did a five forty.
• 4:17
  I only know that because a five forty splash and wrestlings when they do like
• 4:21
  a fourthom assault and then landing on their stomach. That's any RESU five forty
• 4:26
  wrestling home my maths and your teachers will saying, Dando, stop watching that
• 4:30
  wrestling. You know you should be paying attention to me, your maths teacher.
• 4:32
  It's like, why, why is your why is your math teacher snagglepus
• 4:38
  exit stage left, exited your next class? So, but yeah, it
• 4:45
  did, it did a five, It did a five forty. I mean,
• 4:47
  and it did that on least two occasions. Or the Flanders moment was
• 4:49
  one where he kept singing. You had the car scene with them with the
• 4:54
  exits Homer and Bart where he's going where he's touching the car and Homer say
• 5:00
  I'm gonna get you. No, I'm not, I'm gonna get to another
• 5:00
  one then stop the steam montage where it was just different elements of the school
• 5:04
  being affected by the steam. I was just like, there's probably too too
• 5:08
  many here. It didn't need this many, so there's just lots of filler.
• 5:11
  But and even another thing. We had the full intro as well,
• 5:14
  so they literally wasted like a minute and twenty five seconds just the intro.
• 5:16
  I'm like, so you thought you run out of time? But why did
• 5:18
  you not have an I said, this is what I did, right,
• 5:20
  So what I thought was all right, how could you have wrapped this episode
• 5:24
  up? And this is how Dando would have handled this episode? And I
• 5:27
  came up with this in honest to god, I reckoned twenty seconds. Right,
• 5:30
  you have home Room Bart, Right, but Mos announced he's taking the
• 5:33
  guys to Vegas. Right, that's a fun episode in itself. That should
• 5:36
  have been right. Homer says they're gonna take Bart to the airport. He
• 5:40
  drops him off at the front, says, can I trust your boy to
• 5:42
  go inside? Of course you can, Dad. He somehow sneaks into the
• 5:44
  trunk of the car. Homer then takes Bart to the bus. He somehow
• 5:46
  sneaks on the bus, ends up in Vegas with Home Room whatever, blah
• 5:49
  blah blah, shenandigans but they don't know Barts. They're Barts off gambling or
• 5:53
  it does whatever makes a bunch of money. Meanwhile, you have the yard
• 5:56
  sales storyline, the b plot Margins are getting taken to prison, she needs
• 6:00
  but uses his winnings to get Marge at a jail, and a story.
• 6:03
  Everything's back to full circle. Marge is angry at Bart, but you know
• 6:06
  in this in the end, it all worked out because here able to get
• 6:09
  ahead Bay our money, Agins and Las Vegas with Bart, Homer and the
• 6:12
  guys. I thought that'd be far more enjoyable. Everything tied up in a
• 6:15
  nice, neat little bow. Yeah, I mean, look, we can
• 6:17
  finesse that a little bit, certainly, but yeah, I think that's much
• 6:20
  better than what we got, which was a jumble. Yeah, this episode
• 6:26
  was a mess. I mean it wasn't necessarily I mean, it wasn't bad
• 6:31
  so much. I mean there, I think there are lots of parts of
• 6:33
  it that worked fine, but they were really sort of individual bits and pieces
• 6:38
  started throughout. This had faulty structure, but good decorating, if you know
• 6:41
  what I mean. I like a story of Homer and Bart bonding that that
• 6:45
  was good in hand. Homer sort of realized, I wait a minute,
• 6:46
  I miss Bart. I enjoy having Bart around. But there was just too
• 6:49
  much randomness just thrown in between. This just it didn't feel like it was
• 6:53
  flowing very well at all. And like you just said, it's just a
• 6:55
  bunch of random shit ap me all the time. It's just a bunch of
• 6:57
  stuff that happened, as we like to say. Yeah, but and I
• 7:00
  think, yeah, that that core idea of MM I like what makes bart
• 7:06
  bars and you know what, not wanting to sacrifice that in order to get
• 7:12
  him to be on the straight and narrow. I don't know, I think
• 7:14
  that's an interesting idea and one that you should that you should explore, a
• 7:17
  one that you can explore. I don't think it was done all that well
• 7:19
  in this in this particular episode, they sort of they paid lip service to
• 7:23
  it certainly, but it didn't really resolve itself all that well. And so
• 7:29
  this felt so as higgledy piggledy. Yeah, it's like, hey, you're
• 7:33
  sort of on the right track. Oh no, you've you've taken a weird
• 7:36
  u turn or you've made an off ramp and now what's going on? And
• 7:42
  you know, lapses in intelligence and lapses in character just an an old,
• 7:46
  an odd episode. I mean, and you know, after the high points
• 7:51
  we've enjoyed in the last couple of episodes of season seventeen, So I'm you've
• 7:56
  sort of you've fallen off track a little bit. Here was just sort of
• 8:00
  just like good, good premise, and but I just think that the focus
• 8:03
  was just put on the wrong things. The focus needed to be more on.
• 8:05
  I just think there's so much fun to be had with the guys in
• 8:07
  Las Vegas. Grand You've already had home in Flanders in Las Vegas, but
• 8:11
  I think Bart getting up to Shenanigan's in Las Vegas by getting there via the
• 8:15
  bus would have been so much more fun. It's kind of like Bart on
• 8:18
  the Road kind of style. And then Mar just like, you know,
• 8:20
  she's furious that you know, Bart's in prison, but then she ends up
• 8:22
  in Vegas doing doing naughty shit. But then in turns she gets sent to
• 8:26
  prison, and then Bart has to use his money that he makes from being
• 8:30
  in Las Vegas somehow has some winnings. Is at the bailout of prison.
• 8:33
  I thought that'd be a fun way to sort of bring it all full circle
• 8:35
  and connect the dots, because you just get to the end and it's like
• 8:37
  you clearly just had no idea where to go with this. But yeah,
• 8:41
  yeah, but you had probably you could have literally taken out like five minutes
• 8:43
  of the ship in this episode, like for example, for in my opinion,
• 8:46
  you could have just ended that steam moment of all the steam going off
• 8:50
  for us skin of being chased by all the bolts that are exploding him screaming
• 8:54
  steam with the steam chasing him in the background, and it just cut to
• 8:56
  the school or fucked up. I don't need all the other montage bits,
• 9:00
  that's true. I mean the stuff in the music room with Largo and you
• 9:03
  know, capella because the yeah, because the instruments are all rusted, and
• 9:09
  you know, and yet another dumb Ralph gag and Ralph was reaching sicho mel
• 9:13
  proportions at this stage or um. Yeah, there was a lot, just
• 9:18
  it was so all over the shop and it wasn't so much annoying as it
• 9:22
  was frustrating. It's like, just we can pull some of these together and
• 9:26
  you know, just tighten it up a bit. This episode would I wouldn't
• 9:31
  say it to be like a classic or anything like that, but it certainly
• 9:33
  be better than it was. It just felt so loose, but like a
• 9:37
  loose unit. It just kind of felt like, right, we've got an
• 9:39
  extra episode to fill in for this season, Let's get a couple of stories
• 9:43
  that we can't quite finess through for a full twenty and sort of jammed them
• 9:46
  in there with a bunch of other ship and just to me, like at
• 9:48
  the end, I was like, it was fine, but it just yeah,
• 9:50
  it just feels like it didn't reach its potential. That's all. Yeah,
• 9:52
  that's I sort of walked away a little more I would say, angry,
• 9:58
  but just kind of what it's sort of bit bemused, a little a
• 10:03
  little frustrated as opposed to well that sucked. Yeah, not quite guys.
• 10:07
  Plus, I think I've just got to a big issue with I don't think
• 10:11
  Marge would be that dumb to sell used, you know, painkillers, especially
• 10:18
  see the thing is you had Snake pointed out to her that it's illegal.
• 10:22
  I think Marge. I could buy Marge being oblivious to the fact that what
• 10:26
  she's doing was illegal. She's just selling expired drugs, right, But when
• 10:30
  it's when I can't buy Marge deliberately selling illegal shit. I just that's just
• 10:33
  not the Marge. That there's just something that there's not something Marge would do.
• 10:37
  It's not something Lisa would be down with either, you know, so
• 10:41
  yeah, I don't know, or even if you have, Marge sort of,
• 10:45
  I don't know. I'll be willing to go with it. I'm willing
• 10:48
  to go with that for the sake of them because it was kind of a
• 10:50
  fun little I like a good yard sale, like that story had potential,
• 10:54
  but it reminded me it was actually quite similar to the were you doing the
• 10:56
  show when we did the super Bowl episode with Vincent Price and Marginal List are
• 11:01
  painting eggs. Now there might be season nine. Actually I don't think I
• 11:03
  was on board for that. Okay, Yeah, that's where they go to
• 11:05
  the super Bowl and Dolly Parton's there in the Snoopy alf at things like that.
• 11:07
  So the guys will go to the super Bowl and marginally left at home
• 11:11
  board thinking of things to do, and they start playing board games and painting
• 11:13
  eggs by Vincent Price and things like that. It felt like this episode,
• 11:16
  this felt very very similar. It's just there wasn't much to it. Yeah,
• 11:22
  I love the idea of a yard sale as kind of a remember when
• 11:24
  the episode it's it's a really good framework for a Hey, remember when this
• 11:28
  happened, you know, and Homer's barbershop quartet essentially. Yeah, yeah,
• 11:33
  that's basically what that is. I just the opening act was just it was
• 11:39
  such a long winded opening act to get to Bart's just in trouble again.
• 11:43
  Look like there was just such a long went for ages and it was like,
• 11:46
  so the whole steam thing doesn't actually come into the story at all.
• 11:50
  It's just Bart's ruined the school again. So Skinner wants to send him to
• 11:54
  like a school, like a camp. It's like a boot camp. You
• 11:56
  could have fucking done that in like thirty seconds. It didn't need the steamship
• 12:01
  anyway. Hey, my favorite did you have any favorite moments from the episode?
• 12:05
  My favorite moments, and there weren't many from this episode, but they
• 12:09
  were primarily lennybody Vegas for partially risquing. He's so proud of that. Yeah,
• 12:18
  turning Vegas or Bust into Vegas for bust. Get some pretty good word
• 12:22
  play on the part of Lenny. Well done to you, sir. Congratulations.
• 12:24
  Maybe he's the one fully around with the church's sign, not Nelson.
• 12:28
  Oh maybe a very nice conspiracy theory he actually um, but also just the
• 12:35
  when he's on the other end of the line with Homer, and I just
• 12:39
  thought that line was quite I can't talk now, Homer. I'm sat.
• 12:43
  I'm just satisfied in every way. Imagine being in that moment, like you're
• 12:48
  just satisfied in every way possible would be the greatest. I mean, he's
• 12:50
  fucking riding a roller coaster with showgirls and an Elephant's pretty awesome. That's not
• 12:54
  too bad. Yeah, he's eating the jackpot metaphorically and literally, and so
• 13:00
  yeah, I think that were my favorite moments from this episode. How about
• 13:03
  you, Danna, I like a good driving through a birthplace gag. I
• 13:05
  liked the mac graining, except he says Matt groaning in here. I'm yeah,
• 13:09
  I was curious about that if that was like a deliberate you know,
• 13:13
  people mispronounced this all the time, or they're taking a bit of a swipe
• 13:16
  at their feeler's leader or something like that. Yeah, what was an Oregon
• 13:20
  birthplace of Matt groaning? And um, yeah, when they well, yeah,
• 13:26
  they're a few swipes at Matt this episode when they just destroy his house
• 13:30
  yet his birthplace, Yeah, he's going, by the way. The writer
• 13:33
  of this episode, Kevin Curran, who unfortunate passed away in twenty sixteen.
• 13:37
  I never realized he was the one of the producers of Mad Children and he
• 13:41
  was the voice of Buck the dog for real. Yeah, that and then
• 13:46
  and then it was for a while before his death. Obviously, you're like,
• 13:48
  I think it was like late two thousands. He was, he was
• 13:50
  dating Helen Fielding and he had two children. Though, well, that sounds
• 13:54
  like a life well lived. Yeah, short, unfortunately, but well under
• 13:58
  you I mean this episode not so much, but certainly married with children and
• 14:03
  your marriage and parenthood. Yes, sounds lovely. Any more brain Busters?
• 14:09
  Brain Buster? The time is the Davis, I'm gonna read at the time.
• 14:11
  I'm not gonna I'm gonna read out the date, and I'm gonna give
• 14:15
  you clue show away. I've got clues here waiting for me. It's gonna
• 14:16
  see if you can sort of just throw what to have one guess of what
• 14:18
  might be in the top three. You don't think get all of just guess
• 14:20
  one. Right, So it's January twenty ninth in two thousand and six,
• 14:24
  think of really, really really early two thousand and six. So if you
• 14:28
  can think of anything that might have been in the top three, any ideas
• 14:31
  I've got no idea. And I was talking about this with Lou on the
• 14:33
  weekend because you know, we both realize time's getting away from us. Well
• 14:39
  it's fun times. At the when Guy and Lou together was basically we're getting
• 14:43
  old. This sucks and well, Nicola and I were driving up to Melbourne
• 14:46
  to see Fairwell one of our friends. Shout out to Matt Blonde, one
• 14:50
  of my lifelong friends. He's going to America for work for three years.
• 14:52
  But we're driving Melbourn. Let's put some nineties bangers on and put this song
• 14:56
  on. Nicola put that on that All Saints Never Ever song one. Right,
• 15:00
  I'm like, that song came out twenty seven years ago? Are you
• 15:03
  kidding me? Like, holy shit, it's literally like a lifetime like what's
• 15:07
  going on here? But anyway, continue, Yeah, you and low Hut.
• 15:15
  I'd say, I don't know if it's you know, my grumpy old
• 15:18
  man pants slash hat or you know the cultural desert that was the two thousands.
• 15:24
  It's like if you said, I can't tell the difference when something that
• 15:28
  came out in two thousand and six and twenty sixteen, and particularly sort of
• 15:31
  thinking about you know, the mid to late two thousands, Like, I
• 15:35
  think this might be a bit of a cultural desert. I lost touch with
• 15:39
  pop culture. I think I m about twenty ten. I remember at twenty
• 15:43
  ten, I was just like anything after twenty ten just happened yesterday to me.
• 15:46
  I just can't tell the difference. Yeah, that's it. Yeah,
• 15:48
  I'm not sure exactly. So, Yeah, the blockbuster Brainbuster is very much
• 15:52
  busting my brain. I'll give you some clues in let's here you go,
• 15:56
  thank you. So. Number one the clue is doubt fire. Number two
• 16:00
  the clue is Dresser, and number three the clue is Jacob. Okay,
• 16:04
  you like you know, I like to be pretty pretty. That's that's quite
• 16:08
  obscure clue. But let me try and break it down a bit. Well,
• 16:12
  if we're talking dad fire, we're either talking Robin Williams, maybe Sally
• 16:17
  Field or his pros, or we're talking drag and again the Feldly we might
• 16:22
  be talking drag, yes, yeah, correct, we might be talking yes.
• 16:29
  And I'm wondering what sort of came out around too. Well. Other
• 16:32
  prominent drag of the of the two thousands, and the one that sort of
• 16:36
  leaps to mind the most is probably um, I was better King of the
• 16:41
  saucy Martin Lawrence. He said something rather saucy. He did the Big Mama's
• 16:47
  House movies more than one? Yeah, that three of them. I think
• 16:51
  there might have been. I'm wondering if he was in the third, or
• 16:52
  if he sort of passed it over to some young up and comer Wayne's brother.
• 16:57
  Probably, Um, it could be. It could be. It could
• 17:03
  be another person in drag or people in drag. That's true. It could
• 17:07
  be. You could be talking about white chicks. Could be, but I
• 17:11
  don't think you are. I think you might be talking about Big Mama's House.
• 17:12
  I am correct, Big Mama's House number two in fact, Oh is
• 17:18
  it Big Mama's House two? Yes? Okay? Then sorry the second one?
• 17:22
  Who second clue dresser? Well, are we back with Beautician and the
• 17:27
  Beast? Or no? No? So think of who she was? Oh,
• 17:30
  she was the nanny named Fran Yes, okay. Then something to do
• 17:37
  with nanny's is it? Is it term? The Scarlett Johansson Chris Evans movie
• 17:42
  The Nanny The Nanny Diaries. No, No, it's not. It's it's
• 17:48
  stars Emma, Oh it stars Emma Thompson. Yes, I was gonna say
• 17:52
  I always say the full name is Emma. Um. That was Nanny McPhee.
• 17:59
  It was a film that I've never seen never, I don't think I
• 18:02
  have ever, but I remember the post. Yeah, I remember the poster,
• 18:04
  which I think was was Nannie McFee. She was a silhouette. She
• 18:10
  might have been coming ugly got Mary Poppins, Poppins, what is this?
• 18:14
  Yeah, I think she was like an ugly Mary Poppins. And then but
• 18:17
  she her not good looks, you know, gave the kids a lesson about
• 18:21
  don't be judging a book by its cover or something like that. Maybe I'm
• 18:22
  completely mistaken, but Nanny McPhee, I think is the one you're talking about.
• 18:26
  And the third was Jacob and what was Jacob? Gave the most popular
• 18:32
  Jacob of the two thousands when it comes to film characters. Oh my god,
• 18:36
  he's played by Taylor Oh um, Taylor Lawtner. Yes, yeah,
• 18:41
  so Twilight he was what in Twilight? He was aware Wolf. There's a
• 18:47
  movie about werewolves. It was a werewolf movie, part of a series,
• 18:51
  not the first one I was gonna. I was gonna say American Werewolf in
• 18:53
  Paris, but that was much earlier. Yeah, no, it's um think
• 18:57
  of it's not a owling. I'll just I'll give you what the second part's
• 19:02
  called evolution. Oh oh yeah, that's um, that's Underworld Evolution. They
• 19:11
  used to see them and go, I don't know about these. I never
• 19:12
  bothered to watch them. Are they worth watching? The Underworld films? You
• 19:17
  think they'd be movies that I would like because it's essentially vampires versus wear wolf.
• 19:22
  It looks like Blade Yeah yeah, in sort of a Blade slash Matrix
• 19:26
  world. I mean, it really is just a blender of all those things.
• 19:30
  And I remember watching the first one go oh cool, vampires versus wheels.
• 19:33
  Hey, wait a minute, this is really slow and dull and takes
• 19:37
  itself way too seriously, and I think Underworld Evolution actually does pretty much the
• 19:41
  same thing. Fortunately if you're if you're a man of dubious taste like me,
• 19:47
  The next two in the series, the third and fourth, really sort
• 19:51
  of steer into the pulpiness and just get a bit gross and dumb and silly,
• 19:56
  which is you know what you what do you want from you? Vampire
• 19:59
  versus will movies. So I cannot, in good conscience recommend Underworld Evolution,
• 20:03
  but check out Underworld Rise of the Lichens and Underworld Awakening. Well, I
• 20:12
  know they're out there. There go tell us, tell us your thoughts on
• 20:15
  the Underworld French yet well that is the Yeah, that is the top three
• 20:21
  of the US box office at the time. My brain, Big Mama's House
• 20:23
  to Nanny McPhee and Underworld Evolution. I feel like you do a lot better
• 20:27
  when it comes to them, like the nineties shows that we're doing, like
• 20:30
  Speaking of the Hill and South Park was like nineties. I can tell you
• 20:33
  what mother Song came out, But when it comes to like two thousand and
• 20:36
  six and I don't know, next question you there eating the past. It's
• 20:44

  mister Davis. What's your most question for we're on the road to do where
• 23:38
  what was a fine year for Camrays or ninety five? That is correct?
• 23:45
  What room was the controller staying in? You're talking about controller Atkins. He
• 23:52
  was in room five h two. Yeah, he's a callback from which episode
• 23:56
  was it where that's that's where Lisa gets stump a lying, Yeah, when
• 24:00
  she's playing the dasht ye. Yeah. Yeah, that's when he made his
• 24:03
  debut. Yeah. Your next question, well, in that case, which
• 24:07
  room was charmers in? Oh? Three three one eighth three something eight three
• 24:14
  something? You were so close? What is it? Three eight one very
• 24:18
  one? Damn? There was a three in There was an eight in there
• 24:21
  somewhere I couldn't quite and there was a one in there as well. Yeah,
• 24:22
  so you've got him, but you just jumbled him up a little bit.
• 24:26
  That's it happens. It happens. What does home always do? His
• 24:30
  book report on Stuart Little, that cute little mouse. I remember going to
• 24:33
  the movies to see Stuart Little, and I've never seen it since, but
• 24:37
  he was he was all the raged for a little while there, A little
• 24:38
  Stuart Little, wasn't he? Stuart Little got a sequel? He did do
• 24:41
  it? Little too? Was in Europe European Adventure or something so something like
• 24:45
  that. When it was allays fouls go to Europe. They even did.
• 24:49
  It was a spider man, that's correct. Yeah, I'm always curious about
• 24:55
  the just the mechanics though. Stuart Little. I mean, here's a because
• 24:59
  they did adopt Stewart Little, didn't they. I mean she actually gave birth
• 25:02
  to no, to a mouse. No, no, no, she they
• 25:03
  adopted it. They just didn't get back to a house. Really, okay,
• 25:07
  he was He was at the orphanage and nobody wanted him, so they
• 25:11
  took him because he was the human mother did not give birth to a mouse.
• 25:21
  She's looking at doctor house going, what the hell's going on here?
• 25:25
  Who was the It was Michael J. Fox, wasn't it? Michael J.
• 25:26
  Fox was in the the voice of Stuart Little. I don't think it
• 25:29
  gets any more wholesome than Michael J. Fox. You know, if you're
• 25:30
  thinking of who's in a voice his wholesome little mouse, Michael J. Fox
• 25:33
  is your man. You wanted to be wholesome, but you wanted to be
• 25:37
  full of pep and energy. Yeah, that was such a shame woul happening
• 25:41
  here. I saw a recent interview where he's really struggling out with his Parkinson's
• 25:44
  and it's like, man, it's just like it's just such a shame because
• 25:47
  this seems like such unlovely person. Absolutely, yeah, so no, I
• 25:51
  saw that on the weekend. Yeah, they there was an interview on US
• 25:53
  TV with him, and they of course shouted on Australian Australian news as well.
• 25:57
  And good for him, like he's going out and he's he's promoting Parkinson's
• 26:02
  and getting the word about and like he's such a strong person for doing so.
• 26:04
  Oh yeah, one hundred percent. Just a tireless advocate for uh,
• 26:08
  you know, for research and hope hoping to find a cure. And you
• 26:11
  have more power to him. I mean, yeah, I've got utmost respect
• 26:15
  for a man, Michael J. And what's your next question? My next
• 26:19
  question to you is when bart is flying to Atlanta, what seat is he
• 26:23
  in? Thirty three C? Three to three C. Indeed, yes,
• 26:30
  a lot of number questions. Were they flying to it? Either going to
• 26:33
  land in Atlanta? When where they go back to? Where? Though?
• 26:36
  Minneapolis? Because I've got I've got here in my answers, in my tribute
• 26:40
  questions, all of it is Minneapolis. Minneapolis, right, I've always struggled
• 26:44
  to say that word Minneapolis. And because you read it like an English word.
• 26:47
  It should be Minneapolis. I don't know. I struggled to say anyway,
• 26:51
  you said it right, just there, right Minneapolis. I've got that
• 26:55
  as just one word in my trivia questions. I'm playing Jeopardy again. I'm
• 26:57
  like, what the fuck was? And then you asked, that's what it
• 27:00
  was, Minneapolis, Home of Prince. The four Finger Discount Network is brought

• 27:48
  air day of Where on the Road to Doware was January twenty ninth, two
• 27:51
  thousand and six. It was written by Kevin Curran and directed by Nancy Cruz.
• 27:55
  The chopboard gag Teacher was not dumped. It was mutual. I'm sorry
• 27:59
  for missus Kane, missus Kay. What do you do? Don't don't doubt
• 28:00
  missus Ka. She's a catch. Yeah, you're not gonna do better,
• 28:04
  that's anymore? What are you talking about? I mean everyone's already caught her
• 28:07
  before, but that doesn't matter. The tastiest fish always gets caught. Yeah,
• 28:12
  and then that sounds all wrong. Yeah. The couch gag is a
• 28:15
  parody of Bonanza. I'm wondering, even at two thousand and six, how
• 28:22
  many symptoms? Who was gone? What is this? I mean Banza gag?
• 28:26
  You know what episode was it that we did a flashback one and now
• 28:30
  at the mall and there's Bonanza at the start. Remember there was the banana.
• 28:33
  Yeah, what episode was that? Weren't there three Indians last year's much?
• 28:37
  That's right? Oh, it's when Homer gets the it's the Homer they
• 28:41
  fall because that's where they go to the store and um, Hommer looks at
• 28:45
  the World's Greatest jacket. Oh, that's right. But I mean not to
• 28:52
  keep turning this into an episode of I Remembers you when. But I mean
• 28:55
  when I was growing up, Bonanza was almost Yeah, it was on in
• 28:59
  the afternoon and it was reruns, and it was like even then, I
• 29:02
  was like, this is an old show, this is this is not fresh
• 29:04
  material. Yeah, but the thing is Bananza. I think the Simpsons only
• 29:08
  recently just broke the Bananza records. So bands will always have its place in
• 29:11
  pop culture or just TV history because it was one of the longest running shows
• 29:15
  of all time. I thought that was gun Smoke. Oh maybe it was
• 29:18
  gone. Maybe I'm getting both confused. How do Bonanza go for? Then?
• 29:22
  I think Bonanza went for a while, and of course it's got that
• 29:25
  done Little Bonanza, which is a good funny theme song. Yeah, yeah,
• 29:29
  so maybe that's it. But I'm just wondering, if you know,
• 29:32
  kids are sitting in front of their not quite flat screen TV's in two thousand
• 29:36
  and six, going what's this about? What's this a reference to? Four?
• 29:41
  And it's not working fast enough for me to sort of look it up.
• 29:42
  Four hundred and thirty two episodes is what Bonanza went for, and gun
• 29:45
  Smoke went for twenty seasons and how many episodes was that? Four hundred and
• 29:52
  eighty so pretty close for thirty two and four eighty sooth both okay, but
• 29:56
  like both iconic in their own in their own respect, Oh very much.
• 30:00
  Yeah, yeah, but you are right, it is a dated reference.
• 30:02
  Even in two thousand and six, it was a dated reference. But I
• 30:04
  think enough people have at least heard the song before and know what was going
• 30:07
  on. True. Yeah, but uh so, Yeah, as I was
• 30:11
  saying, we got them the full it was nice. It's kind of nostalgiic,
• 30:12
  you know, a bit of a nostalgia theme in this episode's kind of
• 30:15
  started. Just seeing the full intro. I was like, we don't get
• 30:17
  this very often anymore. The chopboard gag, full intro. Long couch goes
• 30:21
  like this, this was nice, enjoy it. Why you got it?
• 30:22
  Yeah, but then enters Skinner's office. Before then he sees Myra, the
• 30:26
  assistant. I'm like, who who is Myra? Who is this is?
• 30:30
  Where? Where did this room come from? Just added an assistant to Principal
• 30:36
  Ski. She's obviously been away for a while. He's like, oh,
• 30:37
  it's good to see you back. But I'm like, yeah, but she
• 30:38
  hasn't been missing for seventeen seasons, Like you've just added a character that doesn't.
• 30:42
  Yeah, just to have this sort of no Madman esque a gag of
• 30:48
  you know, flirting with the secretary or something like that, which, ye,
• 30:52
  look I'm going to be a bit of a chump for that kind of
• 30:55
  that bumm. He told me he was getting a divorce. That always tickles
• 30:59
  me for some reason, that kind of thing, you know, just bom
• 31:03
  bom, that's frank good that bom. Yeah, yes, she's leaving her
• 31:08
  husband the bum And Skinner is outside admiring he's ninety five camera, which has
• 31:12
  been spending I think it was three months in a lake or something? He
• 31:15
  says, yeah, correct, That was going to be one of my trivia
• 31:18
  questions. How many? How many months in a lake? Three months in
• 31:21
  a lake? And Bart then decides takes advantage of this situation. He starts
• 31:23
  going through his desk through the office. Have you ever been in a situation
• 31:26
  where you've been in someone's office or a room where you're like, no one's
• 31:30
  around. I probably could get away with rummaging through some stuff and just being
• 31:33
  a bit of a sneak, But should I Yeah, I'm pretty sure I
• 31:37
  have done this exactly. When I'm not sure, I mean, I probably
• 31:41
  suppressed that memory because I like to regard myself as a good person and not
• 31:44
  a snoop. But I'm also a human being, and human beings liked a
• 31:48
  snoop, don't they. Yeah, It's like, as Alfred Hitchcock says,
• 31:51
  there's nothing more scary than an unopened door. There's nothing more exciting than an
• 31:53
  unopened draw. But if I it's the diary, the dance tape of love,
• 32:02
  the dance tape, just the image on the front. And then he
• 32:07
  finds the keys to the steam tunnels, and thank you Satan. Just think,
• 32:10
  no house from now on will always be those kids who got into the
• 32:14
  steam tunnels. I love the idea of being remembered for something. I'm remembered
• 32:19
  for something that I'm not allowed to really sound this show because it was cold,
• 32:24
  that was illegal, It was illegal. I don't want to get anybody
• 32:29
  in trouble, but so let's just say I had a good night on my
• 32:31
  graduation. Um, I got taught a lot of things on graduation night.
• 32:43
  Continue, patrons, if you want to know more, If if you want
• 32:45
  to know more about this, become a patron And it was funny because like
• 32:49
  years later like Stacy must bring your friends off, like are you the guy
• 32:52
  that? And I'm like yeah, like wow, I'm like wow, my
• 32:54
  legends lived on. But but yeah, so when when they go into the
• 33:02
  into the tunnels, it reminds me of um at four and used to work
• 33:06
  at four. We had the basement, right, and he's scrap shoots down
• 33:08
  there. So basically the machines I went to the stamping plant and the machines
• 33:12
  that the flat metal, the flat sheet metal would go through, the presses
• 33:14
  would press it, and the trimmings would fall down these scrap shoots and go
• 33:16
  into conveyor belts that would eventually end up in a big sort of like it
• 33:21
  can pack them up into a compactor. But it's over, like the Christmas
• 33:23
  shutdowns, or it's just there was a night shift. There'll be a guy
• 33:27
  that used to work downstairs the US. What used to call him, I
• 33:30
  just have really good troll. I really mean mean like not got to rap,
• 33:35
  but something like that, right, because he just you know, he'd
• 33:37
  arrive at like eleven thirty at night and you wouldn't talk to anybody and you
• 33:39
  just sort of head downstairs and you'd live in the basement, and like some
• 33:42
  of the ship used to find down stander the basement, like mattresses where people
• 33:45
  used to go down and root on their lunch break and stuff like that back
• 33:46
  in the eighties. It's like it's like and it's all untouched. It's just
• 33:50
  it's just like the Fine eighty five. But things like like calendars on the
• 33:54
  walls and ship and I'm just like Jesus Christ, but like that that image
• 33:58
  of them going to the steams just mnd me of going down into the into
• 34:00
  the basement because sometimes I'd help out over the Christmas break to clean it out.
• 34:04
  You do clean up over the Christmas break, And yeah, there was,
• 34:06
  um, it was a strange time back that well, I used to
• 34:12
  get home. If I used to work that shift at Ford, I'll be
• 34:15
  getting double time and a half for the first four hours and it was like
• 34:17
  triple time thereafter. It was like it was crazy money. But like I
• 34:21
  just look back now, I think I used to really work for my money
• 34:23
  because it was fucking hard work. You have to like get the shovel and
• 34:27
  it's have to like clean out all this all the little scraps that would fall
• 34:30
  out off the conveyor belt and sort of pile up on the floor. And
• 34:32
  of course they're mixed with oil and ship so they're really sticky and thick and
• 34:36
  sludgy. You just have to get shovel like listen up and chuck it back
• 34:38
  onto the conveyor belt. It was hard work. Oh man, no got
• 34:45
  old man hands now. But anyway, and of course that's where people went
• 34:47
  dam sets exactly exactly right. The stories I could tell you at four Man,
• 34:52
  I won't get into them here, but man, it's crazy and they
• 34:54
  don't mind though, but our mealhouse doesn't mind getting into trouble because it's a
• 34:58
  form of attention. This is my coming up soon. I'm going to discuss
• 35:00
  with you as well about Millhouse and his parents. Mo has rented a party
• 35:04
  bus he's taken up to Vegas because he's won a lawsuit against the rope company
• 35:07
  after a failed suicide attempt, which I thought it checks out. It's it's
• 35:13
  very on brand for Mo. Plus they gave him a replacement robe. Hey,
• 35:15
  nice robe. Hang a cow with that thing. So they're now looking
• 35:20
  through the crack and oh Dad gave me a long talk about this. But
• 35:23
  until you see I can't really believe it. You think, of course it's
• 35:25
  girls, but no, it's the cafe or the school cafeteria, loading dock
• 35:30
  having pizza tomorrow Gray d frozen pizza and I forgot. Yes, a Millhouse
• 35:36
  says, now we'll leave that. Touching a valve. What a tail that'll
• 35:37
  be. Obviously they don't do that. They touch a valve and sets off
• 35:42
  this big chain chain effects that are just which I thought, which I thought
• 35:45
  was a very nice visual. Yeah, looks it looks really cool actually,
• 35:49
  and the skin is walking down the hallway, it's weird. Usually only turned
• 35:52
  the on Parents' night. And then I thought the getaway he was actually kind
• 35:55
  of cool. It's kind of like Indiana Jones kind of vibes where he's running
• 35:58
  away from the ship shooting all this screws firing at him. Absolutely, yeah,
• 36:02
  he say what the f minus screams out steam. The one bit of
• 36:07
  the montage that I did enjoy was I enjoyed Martin's hair going off frizzy.
• 36:09
  Yes, that was good. Yeah, and I didn't mind the fogg to
• 36:13
  section actually reminded me of of et the Fogg dis Section. Whether the fogs
• 36:15
  all go crazy because Eliot lets them all loose, and then we get the
• 36:19
  instruments getting rusty, and the guy Capella and two kinds of wet in my
• 36:22
  pants, and then Willie's drinks the steam from the fountain and the soda machine.
• 36:25
  Was like, ah again another gag. That's just yeah, we got
• 36:29
  it. We got it twice the first time. It's like, Okay,
• 36:32
  the school's being ruined. Don't need it. Just felt like I was adding
• 36:35
  an extraally thirty seconds of unnecessary Philly here. But the school is now destroyed
• 36:39
  by the way that that et science lab segment. Do you know who who
• 36:45
  played the teacher in that? Of course you do, either principle not the
• 36:49
  teacher, I mean pretty been Harrison Ford. I do mean Harrison We don't
• 36:52
  He played the principle, which was from a deleted scene. That's why he's
• 36:54
  not in the movie. Correct. Yeah, yeah, pretty cool. It's
• 36:57
  like you actually can watch the deleted scene I think, like from The David
• 37:00
  or the Blue Rays or whatever, and it's surprising why they cut that out,
• 37:04
  like you think distract Yeah, it might be a bit too distracting.
• 37:08
  I think they wanted to rest on ets little shoulders, that's true. Yeah,
• 37:13
  and um, but The other thing too, is as one of those
• 37:16
  moments where you know, sometimes come across things in life and you think you
• 37:20
  know something, You've watched it like thirty times, and you discover something new
• 37:22
  about and you're like, wow, that's really exciting. So like Et,
• 37:24
  it's no secret ET is my favorite movie. And I got the soundtrack.
• 37:28
  Mom bought me the soundtrack score on it was like the twenty th anniversary one
• 37:31
  of forty anniversary one a couple of years ago, and I'm listening to it
• 37:37
  on the record player here and it comes a piece of music and I've got
• 37:39
  the old soundtrack and this was like the extended version, but I've heard it.
• 37:43
  Basically, it was just the movie directly, the music directly from the
• 37:45
  movie. But then there was a bit of music. I was like,
• 37:46
  I never heard this before. The fuck is this? I'm like, what
• 37:51
  is this music? I've grabbed a cover I looked on the back and it
• 37:52
  was the music from the deleted Steven Harrison Ford and he goes for like a
• 37:55
  minute or so, but it was like so exciting. I was like,
• 38:00
  shit, it's like finding hidden treasure for an et Van, you know what
• 38:04
  I mean? No, No, that's that's great when something that happens.
• 38:06
  I mean, particularly you say you've got a favorite movie and you get it
• 38:08
  on like Blu ray or something, and you've only ever watching on VHS,
• 38:13
  for instance. Yeah, and all of a sudden, you wait a minute,
• 38:15
  there's something in the in the corner of the frame there that I've never
• 38:19
  noticed before. I mean, yeah, I remember seeing that in some horror
• 38:22
  movie that I really liked, and I only ever seen it on like crappy
• 38:25
  bootlegs or something like that. And finally a really pristine version came out,
• 38:30
  and yeah, that's exactly what happened. There's a scene where the main actions
• 38:34
  sort of going on in the center, but you look over the course it's
• 38:36
  like, oh oh hey, and it adds a whole new dimension to the
• 38:40
  scene. It's fantastic. People and you tell people. Most people that the
• 38:44
  nerd, but I'm like, no, it was. It was exciting for
• 38:45
  me. Oh yeah, I'm actually picturing you. It was like it didn't
• 38:52
  mean tears my eye, but it like maybe feel a special. I was
• 38:54
  like, this is this is love? Like it's like just going hidden treasure.
• 38:57
  Like I said, I couldn't believe it. I'm just imagining sort of
• 39:00
  like this listening to a go oh this is lovely? What the fuck going
• 39:02
  on? I was like, is this? What is it? I got?
• 39:05
  I was like, hang on, what's going on here? You're like
• 39:08
  Jack Skeleton, what's this? What's this? But getting back to the episode,
• 39:14
  of course, yeah, you were talking about the extended montage, but
• 39:17
  the school is now destroyed. Skinner says, who could this be a millhouse?
• 39:21
  And but come out laughing and he says, don't worry, you can't
• 39:23
  get away. I've got you by your scruff, but then offers up millhouse.
• 39:25
  I'll give you meal house. Don't bother struggling, I've got your scruff.
• 39:34
  Did I get a deal? I'll give you a mill house. I
• 39:37
  don't want mill house. Sounds like my parents custody hearing. I'm like,
• 39:43
  are they not together again? Because last time we saw them they were together
• 39:46
  and she found the bra and that was just never following up on. I'm
• 39:51
  like, so did they break up again? Okay? You see your issue
• 39:53
  with that is picking knits in terms of continuity things like I just don't know
• 39:59
  if they're still together on well, it's not an issue, but my issue
• 40:01
  with it is like that's just an unnecessary line. It's I mean, it's
• 40:06
  it felt so like forced. Yeah, yeah, you've expected here, but
• 40:12
  yeah, at the close of that was like, yeah, just cut a
• 40:15
  I don't know. It wasn't necessary and it was kind of cheap and just
• 40:19
  a not worthy of the Simpsons, let's say, because they've already done this
• 40:23
  exact gag with nobody likes meal house. Listen, you've got the tension,
• 40:29
  so they've done that gag. You don't need to add the extra really somber
• 40:32
  layer of sounds like my parents close to the muting, it's like, now
• 40:37
  it's not funny, it's just sad. But margin Homer and now in Skinner's
• 40:43
  office and Miro no longer likes Barnt because he turned it across sandwich into a
• 40:45
  ham and cheese car crash. I thought that was a great line. I
• 40:49
  really enjoyed that I've had. Have you had moments where you've made something that
• 40:51
  you just put a lot of effidence, Like a sandwich, for example,
• 40:53
  You've got to sit down and you've like fucking spilt your drink on it or
• 40:57
  something. You're like, curious, now I'm picturing you're doing that. I've
• 41:05
  got a story for your last Thursday night, right, So I'm watching the
• 41:07
  kids and I've got left over rosotto for dinner. Well good, it's gonna
• 41:12
  be an easy night. Nicholas in Melbourne having drinks with her friends from work,
• 41:15
  so she's gonna be back a couple of hours late. The trains are
• 41:17
  fucked up at the moment, so it takes like two hours get the melbourn
• 41:20
  So Nickol's gonna get back at so it'll be all right. Easy microwave rosotto
• 41:23
  in the get the kids in bed early, be a nice, easy night.
• 41:27
  Aliot's fine because he's Bobi's sitting there. Holy. Meanwhile, I put
• 41:30
  the tray down with the bold rosotto and a little cup of a little bit
• 41:32
  of pepsi, no caffeine on the side. That's what they happened in just
• 41:35
  a tiny little cup. Put it down. Boom, fucking spills the pepsi.
• 41:38
  I'm just like Jesus, all right. So I pick it up,
• 41:42
  and she's carrying on like a peanut because it's pepsio over she puts it.
• 41:44
  She wants to sit on a blanket. She spilled pepsio over a blanket.
• 41:45
  I have to change the cover of her blanket. So from frozen one to
• 41:50
  her Moana one. I refill the pepsi up again, get the tray,
• 41:52
  put it down, Boom showed away she except this time she also spills the
• 41:57
  pepsi. I'm not just a blanket but also rosotto. I'm like deepest creepers.
• 42:00
  I'm like, I'm like Jesus Christ. And then the Pepsi's slowly trickling
• 42:05
  towards Allie on the couch and he's carrying on. It's getting closes, yeah,
• 42:08
  getting closes yet damn. I'm like, we'll just move anyway. So
• 42:13
  I wiped that up, changed the cover again to a lot of Alliott's covers,
• 42:16
  which is now Spider Man, and he's like, Dad's I'm like,
• 42:20
  it's just a cover, it'll be fine. I put it down. All
• 42:23
  is good, and then it's like that's some overing the rosutto, though Holly
• 42:29
  has taken upon herself too. She's no one going to use a tray.
• 42:30
  She's going to go sit on her chair, which has the tray like attached
• 42:35
  to it like a high chair. But she decided to climb to herself,
• 42:37
  and as she's climbing, she falls backwards and bags the head on the floor.
• 42:39
  I'm like, oh my fucking god. So I run over. I
• 42:42
  was like, I'll make it nice and like happy again. I'm holding her
• 42:45
  microwave stops, I put it down. I got open to microwave. I
• 42:49
  hear the door slam because she tried to get a new bowl out of the
• 42:51
  drawer. Bombs, she slammed her fingers in the drawer. This all happened
• 42:52
  in the space of about six minutes. Oh my god. I just could
• 42:57
  not I was like, Holly, I am three seconds from throwing you in
• 43:00
  the bin. I'm not joking. Take this one back. This one's faulty.
• 43:05
  I was just like, she's like, spilt pepsi over a blanket,
• 43:08
  and then it spilt pepsi over not just another blanket, but also rosotto,
• 43:12
  fell off a high chair and jender finger in a drawer. That is the
• 43:15
  life of a parent. It sounds like a Pink Panther movie. As just
• 43:17
  catastrophe, just one thing after another. I was like, when when she
• 43:22
  did the drawer with her finger, I was like, you actually can't be
• 43:24
  serious, Holy Like, what are you doing? Are you working with me?
• 43:30
  Anyway? It's good, it's all it's all fun and games. That
• 43:32
  was indeed a ham and cheese carkra Yeah, it was indeed. Yeah,
• 43:35
  So how we got to that, of course, it was how it got
• 43:37
  that. Yes, and Charmers is now on video uplink, which I was
• 43:39
  like, pretty good technology for a walk in fucking television screen. Where's the
• 43:45
  working that out? I don't know, so ask questions. But then controller
• 43:49
  Atkins and Charmers are having a bit of a discussion there both in Scottsdale.
• 43:52
  They're using shower caps his ice buckets and then they yell at Skinner for whatever
• 43:57
  reason. So Skinner turns them off and he says to Marge and Homer,
• 44:00
  he goes, I want to send this Bart to upward bounds and needs the
• 44:04
  pamphlet. It's going to straighten him out. And I'm like, so all
• 44:06
  of that was to get to this, Okay, it's like pretty much half
• 44:12
  my notes are about the inciting incident. Yes, this is a lot,
• 44:17
  a very long winded way to get to the story. We've already had a
• 44:21
  million times where skin in one's body get straightened out. The toughest behavioral modification
• 44:28
  camp in Northwest Oregon. It's the only place cruel enough to straighten Bart out
• 44:32
  here's a proven concept, tough hate to turn around, foul mouth duligans.
• 44:37
  Then they send them home quietly ticking away. M This camp's got it all,
• 44:44
  climbing some kind of rope thing, wearing a backpack, high fiving the
• 44:49
  black kid. It's the perfect thing. They're straighten you out. Oh got
• 44:53
  it? Now I have a ring tone my brand new cell phone, no
• 45:01
  wires at all except this one. The joke about the phone, I was
• 45:07
  like, what the hell kind of joke was this? My brand new self
• 45:09
  is? Because it's nineteen ninety five? Was it is? That? Is
• 45:12
  that? What it was? Was it? I guess you know? I
• 45:15
  mean, we've already indicated that skinn I can only afford stuff that's hopelessly out
• 45:20
  of date or yeah, whether it's a ninety five camera or just a early,
• 45:23
  early, early model mobile phone. I feel like you would have had
• 45:28
  to have paid more for that phone in two thousand and six than you would
• 45:30
  have been ninety five, because it'd be hard to find. Probably, I'm
• 45:34
  gonna remember the kind of mobile phone I had in two thousand and six.
• 45:36
  Do you do you ever keep your old mobiles or do you just throw them
• 45:38
  out or resell them or I have kept mine. I've never reselled them resell
• 45:45
  the one I currently have because I've kept it in good condition. I usually
• 45:46
  kept my phones a very quick condition, but I've kept like the screen protector
• 45:50
  on it in a good case and everything like that, so it's actually in
• 45:52
  pretty pristine condition. So I'll be able to resell this one, but not
• 45:53
  only I'll shock him in a box in the in the laundry. But of
• 45:57
  course, you've never upgraded your phone since two thousand and six, so that
• 46:01
  I think we've talked about how I've still got the Galaxy eight and we're now
• 46:06
  somewhere in the twenties. It's antique, it's work, it great, get
• 46:09
  the jo I'm done. In two thousand and six, I would have had
• 46:15
  not the thirty three fifteen, but like one of the next models up from
• 46:17
  that would have twelve. At that point, I think I had some the
• 46:21
  two thousand and six equivalent of a smartphone. They weren't really smart, but
• 46:23
  they were smart than Yeah. Yeah, I mean I've still got a couple
• 46:29
  of knockers, the brick ones. You throw them at a wall and they
• 46:31
  still work. Yeah, pretty much. I think in case of armageddon,
• 46:37
  like one still work phones anymore. No, they don't. Just you can
• 46:42
  text and you can play snake. That's all you need. Snake, literally
• 46:45
  snake. That's just the best. You were king of them. Play great
• 46:49
  if you had the best grown a snake. Yeah, but I mean others
• 46:52
  I've tended to like, oh, oh you're getting thrown out or whatever recycled.
• 46:55
  But yeah, there are one or two that I've kept. I don't
• 46:59
  know why. Yeah, they just sit there and no one wants them.
• 47:01
  That's why I guess, so, so I might as well hold onto it.
• 47:06
  But this is where the guys are getting ready to go to Vegas.
• 47:07
  Get the Vegas for bus little where I played there with Lenny. Has just
• 47:10
  got to take Bart to them to the plane before I am, so you
• 47:14
  can go to the to the camp before I can return. I'll be on
• 47:16
  my way to Las Vegas with you guys. Dad, if you take me
• 47:20
  to Vegas. How to cheat at Blackjack? Boy, you don't need to
• 47:22
  cheat when you go to system. What's your system? I don't show your
• 47:27
  mother how much I've loted. But Bart is on the no fly list.
• 47:30
  He's not Lady go because he underd his seat butt. And I was like
• 47:32
  that's not really that big of a deal. I don't think they've taken the
• 47:36
  plane around, but whatever, So I've ever told you about at the time
• 47:38
  I was on the plane the Chopper Read, No, you have not.
• 47:42
  First of all set up who Chopper Read is for those who don't know international
• 47:45
  listeners and maybe even now you know more innocent Australian listeners. Chopper Read was
• 47:51
  a career criminal. Mark Brandon Reid was his full name, but he went
• 47:53
  by the name Chopper because he chopped off his own ears to get out of
• 47:58
  to get out of prison. Yeah, which kind of full proof I think,
• 48:00
  except he went back to prison later. Was played by A Banner in
• 48:04
  a two thousand film that was pretty big. Really, it was pretty big.
• 48:07
  It made it made Eric Banner into internet from sketch comedy guy in Australia
• 48:14
  to international star of Black Hawk Down and Star Trek and other movies. And
• 48:17
  then it became that guy who was watching Saint Kilda and funny People correct,
• 48:22
  and now he's the guy who what's Eric Banner doing that? He still thank
• 48:24
  you football games. I think it's like, hey, legal celebrity, A
• 48:28
  Banner's watching the team today. It's like we see movie game. But I
• 48:35
  was on a flight. Yeah, but that's that's Chopper read for you.
• 48:37
  And he also he became one of those colorful identity users, like he's done
• 48:42
  all a matter of horrible things. But he also goes around the various nightclubs
• 48:45
  and you know, a night with Chopper, at which point he'll tell you
• 48:47
  his stories if you want to see the most confronting news stories. But ever
• 48:52
  have you seen him one with the gun? Yeah, with the Yeah he
• 48:57
  was interviewed by was that the one with Renee Brack The in was a woman?
• 49:00
  Yeah, yeah, on his part or whatever. Yeah, look that
• 49:04
  up on the on the YouTube, folks, look look look up just Chopper
• 49:07
  reading news story and he basically plays Russian roulette on camera and doesn't give the
• 49:10
  good woman an option. It's fucking crazy, it really is. So anyway,
• 49:15
  I'm on a plane back from Sydney with this guy and we land at
• 49:21
  Avalon Airport, which is that's outside Geelong, home to dandel and guy.
• 49:27
  Of course, you know you've been, folks, you've been on a plane.
• 49:30
  He has. Indeed, he died, oh god, maybe ten years
• 49:34
  ago, maybe more, No, it wasn't that long, surely. Anyway,
• 49:37
  continue, folks, we've landed in sunny downtown Geelong. Please keep your
• 49:43
  seatbelts attached until you keep this bill fastened until we reach the reach the boarding
• 49:47
  gate. And of course most people do it, or if you do it,
• 49:51
  you just sort of do it a bit. You're undo it surreptitiously and
• 49:53
  you don't make a big deal out of it. Chopper just opened his up
• 49:58
  and stood up and started getting his bags out of the overhead compartment, all
• 50:02
  of which you're not supposed to do. He just did things exactly. It's
• 50:06
  just like he's looking for trouble. He just wants he wants someone to say
• 50:08
  something. And everyone, I think everyone on the plane was of the of
• 50:12
  one thought. It's like, you tell him you're going to the camp because
• 50:21
  I'm gonna drive you there. Yeah, that'll be way more fun than Vegas.
• 50:30
  Oh dang homered coming And Nelson saw something funny. We come back from
• 50:36
  Commercial Home is now driving crazy to Oregon. We drive past the sign it
• 50:39
  says farewell from Springfield. That's like the millhouse land or something land of Millhouse,
• 50:46
  Millhouse maybe graffiti or something, I don't know. And he's looked like
• 50:51
  graffiti, but it also looked like remember the Angry Day comic that Bart Drew's
• 50:53
  kind of like that. Yes, yeah, yeah, it was either really
• 50:55
  good graffiti or really poor official signage. Yeah. So he's driving up I
• 51:00
  may never know he hates Oregon with the unspoiled for us in the birthplace of
• 51:05
  Matt Groening. And then Homer is about saying, come on, Fun Homer,
• 51:08
  you know the tealent change his mind homesas I've pushed Fun Homer away and
• 51:13
  we get a little vision inside his head. Basically, it's just that Homer's
• 51:15
  got his mindset. He's going to be getting this day. He's gonna be
• 51:17
  driving Bart too up to this camp. Here's no way he's getting out of
• 51:20
  it. Margin Lisa meanwhile preparing the yard sale, going through all the boys
• 51:23
  useless chunkers as they call it, and they find Homers all these old book
• 51:27
  reports are Stuart Little not sure why Marge with think that's actually worth anything,
• 51:30
  but maybe she's just gonna get out. They find a power point where it
• 51:32
  says like micing Car's big threat or something I don't know, and an Lisa
• 51:37
  finds all of her old Meliboue Stacey dollheads that blame bart Blade on the dog
• 51:40
  and then she apologizes the dog, and I was like, ah, I
• 51:43
  feel I can relate to this. We've all done where we've blamed the dog
• 51:46
  for something or realized it wasn't their fault, and it's like, oh,
• 51:49
  well, they always forgive us. But there's that little point that it's like,
• 51:52
  fucking motherfucker, she's not sure I trust you as much as I used
• 51:55
  to. YEA, yeah, I'm not. I'm maybe not man's best friend
• 51:59
  anymore. I've only ever yelled at Jet really badly once, and I was
• 52:01
  when he jumped through our new Flywy screen door, right security door. We
• 52:07
  just paid like two and a half grand to have it installed, and no
• 52:09
  ship like the next day he jumped through it, like not through it,
• 52:12
  but like he jumped into it trying to get out the front because he saw
• 52:15
  my dad arrive and he just burst it off the hinges. Basically, it
• 52:17
  was just like hanging there. I was fucking so angry, but then I
• 52:21
  looked like, I'm just like Paul Buker didn't see it. He didn't decide
• 52:23
  to jump through a door. When you're looking at the Flywy door, you
• 52:25
  can't see It's like you're looking outside it. It's not his fault. It's
• 52:29
  like youngest somebody were walking into a door, a glass door, and I
• 52:31
  felt so bad afterwards, But in the moment, I was just like so
• 52:34
  angry and he yelled at ten seconds, but I was just like, oh,
• 52:37
  yeah, bad. I was like so angry, and I'm like,
• 52:39
  why do I do that? They totally understandable. I mean, it's just
• 52:44
  because it costs so much money, and it's like we had just got It'd
• 52:46
  be like buying a brand new car and someone's walking up and keying it,
• 52:50
  you know what I mean? Yeah, well, uh, lose new dog.
• 52:53
  RAFFI the bigger pappy on puppy. It'll be sent outside to do it
• 53:00
  business when it's not doing it on the doing business on the on the floor,
• 53:06
  and I want to come back in, and I'll start and I'll start
• 53:07
  nibbling at the flyby to the point where there's now a bloody hole in it.
• 53:13
  And had to disconnect the whole doors in an aunt for like crim safe.
• 53:16
  It's like, fucking get that. He's always getting through that shit.
• 53:21
  Yeah, how is the how is the little dog going? He's still stinking
• 53:23
  up the house occasionally, Yes, good thing about having a stinky dog is
• 53:28
  that you can also fart and blame it on the dog now because enough he's
• 53:30
  done enough of them where it's just like, oh, he's done it again.
• 53:34
  You can blame it on he's doing silent but deadly as though. And
• 53:36
  I would, you know, I would be the whole woodwind section of the
• 53:38
  orchestra. Now you're just gonna do the forgetting Sarah Marshall thing. We just
• 53:40
  like opened your leags slightly and spread your cheeks and then the air just comes
• 53:44
  out and doesn't make a sound because it only makes a sound because your arch
• 53:45
  cheeks are together. So if he's slightly like calculate to the side, open
• 53:50
  up your ars cheeks just slightly, air just comes out, just like like
• 53:52
  it's like a defleating balloon. Damn, my man, you're trying to you
• 53:55
  you're trying to explain farting to me. You might you might want to check
• 54:01
  yourself. I've cut my legs more than you've had hot dinners. That cause
• 54:07
  it a fart. Mount Barton about got Barton Homer again driving twenty three saw
• 54:15
  the drive past Mount Rushmore twenty feet out of your way, so they decided
• 54:16
  to pass on it, and but sort of says to Homer, here,
• 54:20
  bull I pulled pranks. Was maybe pulling practs is anything I'm good at?
• 54:22
  And Homer sort of points out how struggling he is with his life, like
• 54:27
  he sort of realized, you know, he's he's going nowhere, he's stuck
• 54:29
  in a dead end job, blah blah blah. One snickers pie away from
• 54:31
  foot diabetes. And then they arrive at scobos a diner. Get the woman
• 54:36
  here, the waitress, she's there. I like that. Remember that woman
• 54:38
  from the episode where they were out on the run somewhere and she was like,
• 54:43
  you're you're so and so. I like that. Okay, you remember
• 54:45
  that waitress. It was the episode whether I think it was where they had
• 54:47
  the might have been the one where they had the reality show they escaped from
• 54:51
  the house or whatever, and Ziggy was in that sounds about right, something
• 54:53
  around about the rundom at that time. But anymore, But she she doesn't
• 54:55
  say, but I like that in this episode. But I'd like to point
• 55:00
  two things. First of all, snickers pie sounds just awesome. By the
• 55:02
  way, I'll try to Snickers butterscotch on the weekend Guess what it tastes like
• 55:07
  Snickers didn't really taste them too butterscotchy. But and as everyone knows, it's
• 55:10
  like new flavor variation. Oh, I'm definitely trying that. I'm gonna pay
• 55:15
  full price. Then you realize this tastes like a Snicker's. Yeah, I
• 55:21
  find a chocolate that's very rare that it tastes that much better. Like like
• 55:23
  with chocolate, they're pretty much they've peaked like chocolate. I can't really taste
• 55:28
  much better. I'm not sure adding new flavors is really going to change.
• 55:31
  It's a different sensation, but it's not a better one. Yeah, or
• 55:35
  you need to add a markedly different flavor to it, like Mars raspberry or
• 55:39
  something. Okay, then yes, but minor variation like Snickers butterscotch not really
• 55:45
  working. Nice trying though. But the thing was watching this on Disney Plus.
• 55:52
  I've got the subtitles, and when Homer gets very excited about a Snickers
• 55:55
  pie, the subtitle reads euphoric gurgling? Is that what it says? Euphoric
• 56:00
  gurgling? What's what's the one that they always used on Netflix? It's um
• 56:04
  when it's like background noise, something chatter. What do I say, oh,
• 56:07
  incoherent chatter or but it's something like that where it's just like you can't
• 56:12
  understand it. Chatter, instinct, indistinct chatter, indistinct chatter, indistinct chatter.
• 56:17
  I always thinking, I wondered if like a hearing impaired person always goes
• 56:21
  wonder where indistinct chatter sounds like? Like? What is? What is someone
• 56:24
  who's never heard chatter before? How would I know what indistinct chatter? Sounding
• 56:31
  very Jerry sein film, does it sound like what's indistinct? I know what
• 56:36
  regular chatter is, but indistinct. They're in the in Scobos and we've got
• 56:40
  the father here who's from and he's taken him to Oregon, his son to
• 56:44
  the Shakesmian Festival where who was going to be directing it was legendary theater director,
• 56:49
  Sir Peter Hall Correct And they're both very excited and they head off to
• 56:52
  their prayers and don't forget your menu for the scrap book, and Homer and
• 56:54
  Bart laugh at him here and they bond over, which was a nice moment.
• 56:57
  They're very different, but I'm all for the kind of thing like Nick
• 57:00
  and I we well magnets, but I also like taking menus from places like
• 57:04
  I've got a menu from Tom's Restaurant in New York and things like that.
• 57:07
  I just like looking back at menus from like twenty years ago and go,
• 57:09
  remember when we can get at but a chicken for ten dollars? Well,
• 57:15
  don't you put it on the guy hole, man, it'll happen. Do
• 57:21
  you also were allowed to take those menus? And or did you sort of
• 57:23
  smuggle usually at the at the desk when you usually gonna paper one, And
• 57:29
  I always asked, is it gonna take one? Like, yeah, sure,
• 57:30
  I take one, And I always take one. I always asked,
• 57:32
  obviously, But yeah, it's funny you look back at many even like two
• 57:36
  or three years ago, and I'm like, how the fuck has things gone
• 57:38
  up this much in like three years. I've got a fish and chip shop
• 57:43
  pamphlet from when I was a kid from Rose Avenue fish and Chip Shop in
• 57:45
  Norlin here and minimum chips. What do you Minimum chips was in nineteen ninety
• 57:50
  seven. I'm gonna say a buck fifty dollar fifty right on the money,
• 57:54
  minimum chips and that was enough. Oh yeah, that's a nice lunch.
• 58:00
  That was, like minimum chips would satisfied to people just want some chips on
• 58:02
  the side of your fish or whatever. Minimum chips You're fine. Can you
• 58:06
  imagine getting a dolt fifty by the chips? Now, they might get your
• 58:07
  half a chip chips so expensive? Now, well, yeah, I mean
• 58:13
  I've told you about the chicken shop down the street. That's like, yeah,
• 58:15
  dude, to the potatoes sortage, you're only getting sweet potato frats.
• 58:19
  I'm like, that's not what I want with my chicken, right, So
• 58:21
  no, get it. That's like, so we're like due to the letter
• 58:27
  sort shortage, maybe putting cabbage in your in your subway, I'm not I'm
• 58:30
  having a chow me in sand which I want to fucking stuffy fuck you will
• 58:37
  honestly rather nothing than cabbage in my fucking subway sandwich. I don't put anything
• 58:40
  in there. Don't put fucking cabbage in thereaty crazy or if you've got cabbage
• 58:46
  law. Yeah, anyway, enough about complaining. So the now marton Hover
• 58:52
  are bonding and they realized, you know, they've got more in common than
• 58:54
  they realized. And he brings up there you can it's legal to marry your
• 58:59
  son for a father to Mary Sun, Massachusetts, I'm like, what was
• 59:01
  the point of bringing that up? I don't really get it. Anyway,
• 59:04
  Bart goes to the toilet and Homer meanwhile order some big breakfast with baking it
• 59:07
  added to everything, and then once he finishes his food, he thinks Bart
• 59:13
  has snacked away. He was like, what's going on? He goes into
• 59:15
  the bathroom. Bart is hiding in there home it looks at the window,
• 59:17
  but then goes and tells Stavross that someone's trying to dine and dash, and
• 59:22
  he catches Homer and smacks him on the ass with his frying pan, and
• 59:25
  yeah, there you go, and seeing that that is the thing that happens.
• 59:30
  Yes, Bart has escaped in this episode, but has escaped. We're
• 59:32
  now at the at the yard sale and on the side there's no looky Lose
• 59:37
  and coming book guy gets a fucking awesome deal here, yet still complains it's
• 59:42
  all of Bart's action figures the mister plowjacket, which I guess in Springfield universe
• 59:46
  doesn't really mean anything. But you know, two of Simpsons fans, big
• 59:49
  deal and all these at a power ranger Andy's for three ninety five. I'm
• 59:52
  like, mate, you don't need five minutes of the fridge, get out
• 59:54
  of there. Take that right, you got, you got the bonus plane,
• 59:58
  you got the deal. They've only made five dollars one all comes from
• 1:00:00
  Flanders buying back his stuff, which is quite funny. And then they also
• 1:00:04
  made three ninety five from from comic book Guards. Then, yeah, that
• 1:00:07
  is true. That doesn't really add up. So does that make a dollar
• 1:00:08
  five from I don't know, that's not question. I don't. But then
• 1:00:12
  Flanders sings that Joseph and the Mason technicolor dreamcoat. It just goes on forever,
• 1:00:17
  my lp of dreamcoat, How I love my coat of many colors?
• 1:00:22
  It was red and yellow and green and brown and scarlet and black and ochre
• 1:00:29
  in peach and ruby, and I live in violet and lilac and gold and
• 1:00:37
  chocolate and move and cream and crimson and silver and rose and azure and lemon
• 1:00:42
  and rusted in gray and joel and purple and white and pink and orange and
• 1:00:50
  red and yellow and green and brown, scarlet and black and ochre and peach.
• 1:00:55
  The Salvation and might just sort of said, oh, how y'rselves a
• 1:00:59
  failure? Have you? Did you ever have a garage sale? They're not
• 1:01:00
  really a thing anymore. You just have Facebook Marketplace now. But we used
• 1:01:04
  to have garag showers probably twice a year, and it was an exciting time
• 1:01:07
  for me when I was a kid. It was like, what was a
• 1:01:08
  chance to sell some shit they don't need anymore and make a few actually dollars
• 1:01:10
  and whatever. That's true. Yeah, I mean it's you either put it
• 1:01:15
  on an eBay or Facebook marketplace or some other online imporium, or it's just
• 1:01:21
  like, no one's buying this. I'm just throwing a haf a hard rubbish.
• 1:01:22
  Yeah, And so it's like a free garage sale. We had a
• 1:01:27
  sign I put out a state recently. It's a garage sound. I was
• 1:01:30
  like, what a novelty I'm going? It was like a good stuff,
• 1:01:36
  it's a few mugs and like an old bike. This is why I got
• 1:01:38
  a garag sales anymore. So it's funny because I got down, I was
• 1:01:42
  like, oh is this all? And she's like, yeah, yeah,
• 1:01:44
  we sawd most of the good stuff on Facebook Marketplace. I'm like, what
• 1:01:46
  was the point of this thing? So well, you're playing me for a
• 1:01:49
  sucker, Yeah exactly, yeah, buying you shit, getting my pity,
• 1:01:52
  my pity money, but even the Salvation Nonaby doesn't want any of his stuff.
• 1:01:55
  And then Otto appears and he wants someone of the pain medication, and
• 1:02:00
  Marge takes advantage of his own generosity where he's like a dollar or she should
• 1:02:04
  just a dollar and he's like peel, She's like yes, and she's selling
• 1:02:07
  it all. And he said, like drugs in the bottle, I feel
• 1:02:08
  like Elvis Presley, and then we get a few. I like the music
• 1:02:12
  que here, it's this is what the music they always play when it's like
• 1:02:15
  it's getting to do the blue or a little illegal in Springfield, and we've
• 1:02:17
  got clidisag Kearney, doctor Nick Disco, Stu Snake, as well as Birch
• 1:02:22
  Barlow, the rushed lumber of our Springfield. Okay, that's a nice,
• 1:02:27
  nice callback. Whoa, This is so much safer than buying my illegal drugs
• 1:02:32
  at the playground, bagger Quist. Surprise me, mum, I'll take all
• 1:02:39
  your estrogen. That's a female replacement hormone. It's for a friend who's trapped
• 1:02:46
  in the body of another friend. It's a rather progressive transgag for two thousand
• 1:02:52
  and six, I think, I mean, yeah, it wasn't really sort
• 1:02:54
  of poking fun. It was kind of sensitive in its own way. How
• 1:02:59
  much calling Leny who's in Vegas obviously, and he's on a roller coaster with
• 1:03:02
  showgirls and an elephant, and he's just too satisfied in every way. And
• 1:03:06
  this is where he drives past and sees Bart hitchhiking marine home for Christmas,
• 1:03:08
  is what it says, and he signed, He's like, I've got you
• 1:03:10
  now, and then he goes it nearly drives off the edge of the cliff.
• 1:03:14
  And I liked what scares me the most service engine soon when I see
• 1:03:17
  the light coming of my car and I'm just like, I don't want to.
• 1:03:21
  It's gonna cost some money I have to pay for. This is ridiculous.
• 1:03:24
  I much prefer that though, too. You're overheating, Yes, that's
• 1:03:29
  true. Yeah, that is. That is the scariest of all dashboard indicators.
• 1:03:35
  We come back from commercial and home as sister, but pushed down in
• 1:03:37
  the back of the car so that the car tips up and I can come
• 1:03:38
  out and beating and shower you of love. So then he does so then
• 1:03:43
  he's just a back and forth of Oh I love you, I'm going to
• 1:03:46
  get you. Oh no, I won't know what. Yes, I'm going
• 1:03:47
  to kill you, and I'm just like, I just went on forever again.
• 1:03:51
  It did, And I like that idea in theory. I think that's
• 1:03:55
  not the possibility of a good gag, but it's very it's writing dependent.
• 1:04:00
  It's also very timing dependent. I mean, it sort of needs to get
• 1:04:03
  a little more friends as it goes along, and then the car needs to
• 1:04:05
  be going, you know, right right, and then as it gets more
• 1:04:10
  sort of frenzied. I don't know. I just think that there are a
• 1:04:14
  lot of missed opportunities in this episode, or you know, I don't want
• 1:04:17
  to I don't want to miss Nancy cruise. But it just felt like the
• 1:04:19
  direction was kind of basic. Yeah, well the material she was given wasn't
• 1:04:26
  that great either, though, to be honest, that's true. In that
• 1:04:29
  case, it's the director's part to roll to them living it up. Yeah,
• 1:04:31
  so you're right, Yeah, but I'm eventually sorry, you see,
• 1:04:33
  I'm Nancy. I don't mean as too much of a diss but I could
• 1:04:38
  have done a few things a little spicier. But eventually, obviously, says
• 1:04:42
  Homer, Marge is now counting her money. Jimbo arrives for the yard sale,
• 1:04:45
  and my march is like, I'm not a drug grocer, and she's
• 1:04:48
  another knock at the door. So much money I've made. Basically, it's
• 1:04:53
  like her admitting that she's been selling drugs for money. Wighams now there and
• 1:04:56
  he calls her Mark pedal and he takes her in And as as Lou says,
• 1:05:00
  here, you have to explain the joke, Chief, it's it's not
• 1:05:01
  only good, but all those moments on this show, on both of us,
• 1:05:08
  Homer has now got butt or chained up to the seat of the car.
• 1:05:11
  He explains it being a father, it's just another job, long hour's
• 1:05:13
  no pay. At the end, you got someone complaining that you've been all
• 1:05:16
  You've screwed me up, and I'm like, yeah, but I don't know.
• 1:05:19
  I hate I hate it when they have Homer. We all have moments
• 1:05:24
  where it's tiring and it's hard work being a parent. But I don't like
• 1:05:27
  it when you hear Homer say I hate being a parent, like it's no
• 1:05:30
  fun, there's no positive to being a parent, and nobody and he realizes
• 1:05:32
  that he misses bla blah blah blah. But it's just like I don't know.
• 1:05:35
  Also, you don't want to You definitely don't want to be saying that
• 1:05:38
  to your kid. Yeah, it just felt like a bit much um where
• 1:05:41
  they arrive at upward Bound, where they take the sas and turn it into
• 1:05:44
  cists. And the guy there, he's not not a real colonel or lieutenant
• 1:05:48
  or whatever, he's just in a boyscout aff. What hed do they say
• 1:05:51
  he did to the boy scout aff. He doled it up like bla blah
• 1:05:54
  blah something like that. Yeah, and then to kiss your childhood goodbye.
• 1:05:57
  And I was like, it's kind of sad now, like people do get
• 1:06:00
  to these kind of things, and I'm like, even the idea of kiss
• 1:06:01
  your childhood goodbye, I'm like it would be people who have experienced that,
• 1:06:04
  and this is such a such a sad concept to have to come to terms
• 1:06:08
  with. Well, here's the thing. I mean, this is around two
• 1:06:11
  thousand and six, and if my memory of this era is fuzzy at best,
• 1:06:16
  I'm wondering if this is sort of like the Paris Hilton era, because
• 1:06:20
  Paris Hilton was a very big deal in the two thousands, and she is
• 1:06:25
  recently back in the news because you know, grown up and a little wiser.
• 1:06:29
  And she's sort of saying that her parents sent her well to a place
• 1:06:31
  like this for and she was there for like maybe eighteen months or something like
• 1:06:36
  like a behavioral modification facility, and it was basically like a work camp.
• 1:06:43
  Then you say, oh, you know they use psychological manipulation on you,
• 1:06:47
  and you know there's a lot of sort of physical if not abuse and sort
• 1:06:50
  of punishment. And it was like, damn, Paris had a rough.
• 1:06:56
  She's never had a rough. Don't recon sect tape. I wasn't going to,
• 1:07:02
  but I'm glad you did. Thanks, And no, I'm not about
• 1:07:08
  to read litigate Parish because I don't have a lot of time for a bins
• 1:07:10
  like she had a rough raighteen months at least, and she was like,
• 1:07:12
  oh, and I had drum as a results, maybe you would do.
• 1:07:19
  I'm worry, mister Simpson. We're gonna take his sass and turn it into
• 1:07:23
  ciss. Thank you, colonel. I'm not a colonel. This is a
• 1:07:26
  boy scout uniform that I had dolled up. Come with me, son,
• 1:07:30
  now kiss your childhood goodbye. Hammer starts second guessing himself. He sees Bart
• 1:07:40
  sort of looking sad, and he's like, oh, maybe you've done the
• 1:07:42
  wrong thing, drives through Matt Groening's birthplace. He's off to Vegas, and
• 1:07:45
  we get his vision of what's going to happen in Vegas at the casino and
• 1:07:49
  just basically sees Bart everywhere. He realizes she's a very weird eat my shorts
• 1:07:54
  gag. Yeah, that was gonna be kind of like a chick anyway.
• 1:07:56
  But he realizes, here a minute, I miss Bart. I'm gonna go.
• 1:08:00
  I can get him. I'm gonna save him from this place that I
• 1:08:00
  just spent all this time taking him too. He takes the exit, but
• 1:08:04
  he takes he goes the wrong way. I don't know anyway. Basically,
• 1:08:08
  it's just the I'm going through this exit up but this looks cool from up
• 1:08:11
  above, and I'm like it doesn't really. It's just like yeah, yeah,
• 1:08:15
  man. But that's basically the National Lampoon's European vacation gag, which I've
• 1:08:21
  sort of formative time with a couple of buddies of mine one night in a
• 1:08:25
  bottle of Bacardi, and anytime you sort of got on the road and you
• 1:08:29
  had to you know, you're driving was not great you'd say Big Ben Parliament
• 1:08:32
  because they get taught on a round about it. They just keep going around
• 1:08:34
  and a round and around, like hey kids, big Ben Parliament. Well
• 1:08:39
  the Simpsons do that, Remember they go to UK. Oh yeah, that's
• 1:08:41
  right if they get the rondom out. Yeah. But now, but Homer
• 1:08:44
  gets back to to the camp, but is shopping wood very well. He's
• 1:08:46
  learned so much in the last three hours. He realizes that he doesn't need
• 1:08:49
  to do any pranks or anything like that. Let me over here, Homer
• 1:08:51
  saying, stupid horse, that's a deer crossing tells but to wash the blood
• 1:08:55
  off the dash, off the wind wind screen or whatever. He said.
• 1:08:57
  He's taken him to Vegas and the reasons like an absolutely kill joy. I'm
• 1:09:00
  wondering how I feel about that kind of yeah finale. I'm I never enjoy
• 1:09:05
  it when you know someone's in jazz, within reach of becoming a better person
• 1:09:10
  or changing their ways or something, and then they're sort of yanked back to
• 1:09:13
  their original factory settings. I mean, I know that The Simpsons has to
• 1:09:18
  sort of remain but a lovable Frankster and a joke like this would feel more
• 1:09:25
  at home in say South Park yeah, especially the whole stupid deer, stupid
• 1:09:30
  horse as the deck us. I'm like, yeah, that's a bit explicit.
• 1:09:33
  Yeah, wash the wash the blood off the windscreen already says it was
• 1:09:36
  like, I don't know, yeah, but you're right about the whole part
• 1:09:41
  turning into a better person, and Homer is the reason he's not going to
• 1:09:45
  Yeah, it's just see what they're going for and you have to get back
• 1:09:47
  to the status quo. But it's okay to sort of. I guess the
• 1:09:50
  show wouldn't work if but matures straightens up and flies right, I don't Yeah,
• 1:09:58
  anyway, Homer's credit card has also declined, so that's the end of
• 1:10:01
  that story. It's just like makes that that quick wrap up just kind of
• 1:10:05
  makes you feel like, what a waste of the whole episode. I think
• 1:10:09
  that everything we've been watching was set through all that, and that's how you
• 1:10:11
  wrap it up, that's right, Yeah, I mean you worked really hard
• 1:10:15
  to reach the finish line. If it actually even see him at the camp,
• 1:10:17
  it's just you know, I've been for three hours now, I feel
• 1:10:20
  like I feel like I'm a better person. And then home is like,
• 1:10:23
  no, you don't, let's go to Vegas, And I'm like, what
• 1:10:25
  was the whole point then? What it is havn't taken to Vegas and have
• 1:10:29
  some actual gags here? Yeah, I mean if the if the takeaway of
• 1:10:34
  this is, oh, Son, I love you as the rambunctious little prankster
• 1:10:39
  that you are. That's what makes bart bart No, you could do it
• 1:10:42
  a little better than this. You could reach that, you could reach that
• 1:10:45
  conclusion a little more effectively than this, maybe by cutting down on some of
• 1:10:48
  these gags that going forever. And what's annoying is but I haven't seen anything
• 1:10:51
  about Barton Homer in Las Vegas, because that's the Lisa arriving home. Here's
• 1:10:56
  a question. Lisa arrives home, she gets the phone message March say she
• 1:11:00
  needs ten thousand dollars bail to get out of prison. Right. Homer and
• 1:11:02
  bart the message. They had a fight with a really uncoled pit boss.
• 1:11:06
  They're both now in prison or Homer's in prison, doesn't know where bart is
• 1:11:10
  says say, hi, have you seen and we have Lisa say, oh,
• 1:11:13
  Maggie, and it was gonna be just us two one day. I'll
• 1:11:15
  look for work in the morning. I'm like, so Marge left Maggie home
• 1:11:17
  unattended. Oh yeah, stupid, interesting, ridiculous, bad ending, bad
• 1:11:27
  ending, horrific. Four fingered discount does not approve. I'm flabbergasted by the
• 1:11:30
  writing of it. We cannot sanction such Just how does a team of the
• 1:11:39
  best writers, apparently in the world of the Simpsons writing staff, the claimed
• 1:11:42
  Simpsons writing team, how does one of them not go, who's watching Maggie?
• 1:11:45
  And if they did, I hope the guy that didn't just go,
• 1:11:48
  oh, it doesn't matter, because it does fucking matter. That's the kind
• 1:11:51
  of thing that you would not gloss over in ninety Simpsons, Lisa arriving,
• 1:11:56
  Maggie's just sitting there unattended. It was sold out for a cheap gag.
• 1:12:00
  I'm not happy. And so yeah, Endings are maybe the most important of
• 1:12:08
  any creative endeavor, well, certainly in storytelling, you know. I mean,
• 1:12:12
  I think you'll forgive any number of faults if you stick the landing.
• 1:12:16
  And in this particular instance, the Simpsons was trying one of those triple somersault
• 1:12:23
  things on the on the high beams and then landed and just cracked its ankle
• 1:12:27
  in half and went and that's it. Be bad ending. So unhappy.
• 1:12:32
  We have had episodes in the past where they have you know, everyone always
• 1:12:35
  goes back to the dast Bus episode where it's like, oh, they were
• 1:12:38
  saved by let's see mo, right that whatever. Occasionally do that, that's
• 1:12:42
  fine. But when you have an episode that's filled with so much filler,
• 1:12:45
  but that episode's at least pumped full of gags, right that they've run out
• 1:12:49
  of time, it doesn't matter how they get saved, it's just they get
• 1:12:51
  saved. Right. This one here is just like a story that is missing
• 1:12:57
  a lot of shit, but because they filled up too much time with just
• 1:13:00
  useless stuff, and it gets to the end and it's like, oh,
• 1:13:01
  well, run out of time, doesn't matter what. At least with the
• 1:13:05
  with the Dusk Bus ending, you get a resolution as to sort of say,
• 1:13:09
  and this is how things get back to the status quoted rescued by this
• 1:13:12
  one here, it's like, Okay, Lisa now has to provide for Maggie
• 1:13:15
  because everyone's in prison, like what. It's never good when an ending raises
• 1:13:18
  more questions than answers. It works sometimes in sitcoms where like sign Felt,
• 1:13:24
  for example, something like that they end on a gag or the episode could
• 1:13:27
  have kept on going. But I don't know, It's just it's just the
• 1:13:30
  amount of filler. This one felt like it had so much more filler than
• 1:13:31
  any episode have seen to date. I reckon. This really felt like they
• 1:13:34
  just did not like Kevin Curran just no, God rest his soul, just
• 1:13:39
  didn't care. Yeah, when you've got that combination of extraneous stuff and stuff
• 1:13:45
  that feels like too much and stuff that feels like not enough in the same
• 1:13:47
  episode, yeah, you're you're in trouble. What do we learn, Palmer?
• 1:13:51
  What did you learn from this episode? Mister Davis? Um that the
• 1:13:58
  best kind of gurgling is euphoric, especially with a lot of our indistinct chatter
• 1:14:03
  happening in the distance. I learned that if collecting menus is lane, then
• 1:14:09
  I guess I'm just a big lane. From this knee forward, your name
• 1:14:14
  shall be It's time for the Guy Davis New Name. Championship Round eleven four,
• 1:14:17
  Season seventeen. He current leaderboard stands at this in first position Luke McKay
• 1:14:23
  on nine points, In second position we have Applebyond seven and in third position
• 1:14:27
  we have a Garrod harrow Hill on six points. Take it away, Miss
• 1:14:30
  Davis. What have we got right? Oh, one point goes to bart
• 1:14:34
  and Homeless. Bogus Journey place tugs at my heartstrings. One of my favorite
• 1:14:40
  films of all time, Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey. That would be one
• 1:14:42
  Fergus. Jeffs with the one point that puts him now on five points,
• 1:14:45
  while on Fergus, I puts him on seas points wid on Fergus, even
• 1:14:49
  better Fergus. Oh my god, you know what, you know what's better
• 1:14:53
  than five points? What's that? Six points? Yes? It is?
• 1:14:56
  Indeed. Two points goes to Fear and Don't Thing in Las Vegas. Fear
• 1:15:03
  and Oh another good one that goes through our man Justin Williams. That's the
• 1:15:06
  first time Justin's been on the leaderboard. Well done, Justin with the two
• 1:15:10
  pointer. Good stuff. It's a big, wide open race this time around
• 1:15:14
  in season seventeen. That's great. I like that. But three points goes
• 1:15:17
  to Blunder Road. Oh that's pretty clever. It's clever, Kyle, and
• 1:15:24
  that would be clever car. I'll do then with another three pointer, which
• 1:15:28
  moves Kyle right up now to also six points. Okay, so first and
• 1:15:31
  second still the same. Luke McKay still on nine points heat that would be
• 1:15:34
  still in seven. But we've got two nubies now added to the our third
• 1:15:38
  position now longer just outright De Rode Harry Hill. We have a three way
• 1:15:41
  tie with Garrode, Kyle Muldoon and Fergus Jeff's all on the six points and
• 1:15:46
  Nora Cooker and David Mottter just behind them on the five points. It's all
• 1:15:49
  very tired, very close here. I'm the guy Davids New End Championship for
• 1:15:53
  season seventeen. I'm liking it. We do enjoy a crowded field. It
• 1:15:56
  makes the race more interesting. M So if you want to be of the
• 1:16:00
  New Name Championship, you can still hit yourself first prize. It's gonna be
• 1:16:02
  a part of the New Name, part of the four figure to scamp Facebook
• 1:16:05
  group by being a supporter of ours on a Patreon deail Here game, mister
• 1:16:14
  Davis, it's time now for the mail bay for we're on the road to
• 1:16:15
  do. A first question comes from Andrew JP. Of course, Andrew says,
• 1:16:20
  what's your ultimate road trip? Where would you go and what route would
• 1:16:24
  you take? Wow, we've discussed your your root sixty six one already.
• 1:16:30
  That is true. Yeah, that is probably my my dream dream road trip.
• 1:16:36
  I don't know if Road sixty six include all the pch the Pacific Coast
• 1:16:41
  Highway, driving into Vegas at a dusk I think would be right up there
• 1:16:45
  as well. I'm not sure of the exact locations in Europe, but I'd
• 1:16:47
  love to do a bit of a European road trip. I don't know how
• 1:16:51
  to road a ride a motorcycle, and I don't think that's probably true late
• 1:16:55
  for me to learn. You should never say that it's never deal late for
• 1:16:57
  you to learn anything. I think a motorcycle road trip would be fun,
• 1:17:00
  especially around Australia. I just have to do something motorcycles or whatever I see.
• 1:17:03
  I'm just like, it's just too dangerous to me. I'm just like,
• 1:17:08
  I don't know the temptation to hoon on them. You know, you
• 1:17:10
  see people, there's so many drivers out there where The thing is, if
• 1:17:13
  you're really good at riding a motorbike, I feel like it's like you just
• 1:17:15
  see sometimes the drivers. I mean, there's plenty of motorcycle riders out there,
• 1:17:19
  but sometimes their confidences gets the better of them. I'm like, was
• 1:17:23
  there a need for you to even like do you have to be riding between
• 1:17:26
  those two cars at the front of the line at the bed, Like can
• 1:17:27
  you not just wait behind them? Like? Why are you being a menace
• 1:17:30
  on the road. I know, I know it's probably a ninety five percent
• 1:17:33
  chance you're not going to crash, but that five percent chance is just going
• 1:17:36
  to fuck it up for everybody else if you do. That is one correct
• 1:17:41
  I mean, but I like, I imagine that if I was on a
• 1:17:43
  motorcycle, I would probably write it like I was riding a scooter. M
• 1:17:46
  Well, as I'm Alliott and hollyo Big on that film by Pixar Luca at
• 1:17:50
  the moment they write vesper vespers in that. Oh, I love the idea.
• 1:17:55
  I mean, that's the thing. I would probably not get a motorcycle.
• 1:17:57
  I'll probably get a vesper, but a vesper is not something you're gonna
• 1:17:59
  go on road trip on. All right. And this one he comes from
• 1:18:00
  Harrison McClure. What's the best thing that you've ever purchased from a car boot
• 1:18:04
  slash yard sale? Well, I haven't been to a good one for a
• 1:18:08
  long time, but we used to do a lot when I was a kid.
• 1:18:10
  But for me, what I liked about when I was a kid was
• 1:18:12
  that it was a chance to score some action figures or things like that to
• 1:18:15
  sort of complete my collection that either my and sold out or my mother couldn't
• 1:18:19
  afford. I'm like, so, you know that this kid's either grown up
• 1:18:23
  and and the mom's just getting rid of his old toys or the kids trying
• 1:18:26
  to sell his toys to buy some new toys. Maybe I'll be able to
• 1:18:28
  finally get that black power rage that I've always wanted in my hands. You
• 1:18:30
  know, I think the only times that I've really been to garage sales,
• 1:18:35
  did I pronounce garage correct correctly or weirdly than garage sales? I say,
• 1:18:42
  I say garage sales. I think we've done this before. Him was like,
• 1:18:45
  yeah, is that you pronounce garatt? I mean, it's just you
• 1:18:47
  just got to naturally say the word. And then because if you're trying to
• 1:18:49
  say, it's like garage garage, but then we put it into a sentence.
• 1:18:53
  I went to a garage sale, garage sale, that's what I say,
• 1:18:55
  garage garage. Oh my god, you start thinking about that and you
• 1:18:59
  can just drive His can say, but when I've been to sales such as
• 1:19:02
  those. It's usually like I should get something, you know, or if
• 1:19:06
  it catches your o's like, oh, that'd be nice for the house as
• 1:19:09
  opposed to you know, like something cool like cool action figures or blue rays
• 1:19:15
  or whatever. It's like. But I do remember, like that's kind of
• 1:19:17
  a nice vah that might like look nice in my house and you know,
• 1:19:23
  make it look a little more sort of hospitable. So and I, yeah,
• 1:19:27
  I definitely picked up one of those for like a really small amount.
• 1:19:30
  It's probably cost you know, I probably paid double water was worth. It
• 1:19:32
  was like m and it's taken prior to place on my shelf. And I
• 1:19:35
  look at occasionally going you're maybe living like a bum in a lot of respects,
• 1:19:40
  Davis, but you certainly nailed the vats. Well, I'm looking at
• 1:19:44
  the wall here in the studio and all these trading cards that you see on
• 1:19:46
  the wall. Some of them come from my personal collection, but a lot
• 1:19:47
  of them were from I went to a garage sale one day and this person
• 1:19:51
  was obviously a trading or that there's some was their trading card collector. And
• 1:19:55
  there's just giant, two giant boxes of nineties trading cards. And I was
• 1:19:59
  like, I wonder how much they went for yes, And I was like,
• 1:20:01
  this is a long time ago, fifteen years ago. I was like,
• 1:20:03
  how much for these? And he was like, I know you do
• 1:20:05
  want how many do you want? I was like, I'll take them more,
• 1:20:08
  and he goes, I'll be taking more five bucks and I was like,
• 1:20:10
  Brendan, just pick up the box quietly and do not make an issue,
• 1:20:14
  and then I'll walk outside. Brendon, you're not listening. Just just
• 1:20:17
  taking the cards and put him in the car, pay them in the five
• 1:20:19
  dollars and get the hell out of here. Give him a little smile,
• 1:20:24
  not a big wide smile. Thank you. That was very nice doing this
• 1:20:28
  one. Don't dance on the way out. You know you want to,
• 1:20:30
  but don't do it. Don't ask us have five minutes with you with the
• 1:20:33
  guys. Fridge just tame five dollars because it was just like, oh my
• 1:20:41
  god, they're all here, Lion, King, Ninja, Turtles, Power
• 1:20:44
  Rangers. All right. But that Actually, we've got one more mail bag
• 1:20:48
  question coming through. Sorry, Simpsons Mailbag at gmail dot com. Remember,
• 1:20:51
  guys, you want to send us a question or a message Simpsons Mailbag at
• 1:20:55
  gmail dot com. We want to hear from each and every one of you,
• 1:20:57
  So if you're listening right now, you never got in contact with us.
• 1:21:00
  Simpson's mailbag at gmail dot com. This one comes from Scott Pearson,
• 1:21:03
  and Scott says, Greetings gents. I've only just discovered your podcast over the
• 1:21:06
  Christmas break and I've been binging my way through as I try to keep up
• 1:21:11
  with the latest episodes as well. Love what you're doing. You've really opened
• 1:21:13
  my eyes up to the later years of the Simpsons that I've tended to dismiss
• 1:21:15
  for a long time. It's amazing we are yes, It's amazing what a
• 1:21:20
  fresh perspective can do. Perspective can do. Anyway, I was just wondering,
• 1:21:24
  do you think you'd ever consider reviewing the new episodes as they're released.
• 1:21:27
  I know it's screw around with your chronological order of the podcast, but it's
• 1:21:30
  so hard to find any decent reviews on the newer episodes. Perhaps there's something
• 1:21:33
  you could do for your Patreon in the near future. I promised to join
• 1:21:36
  by the end of the year. Thanks again for all of the free infotainment,
• 1:21:40
  Scott. Well, thank you Scott for the first of all listening.
• 1:21:45
  Secondly, if you'll promise to be a patron. We're going to hold you
• 1:21:47
  to it. Thirdly, not a bad idea. What do you mean,
• 1:21:54
  Danna, you're the one behind the wheel sort of steering the foething a discount
• 1:21:57
  express. I'm merely a conductor going tickets. I don't know. I think
• 1:22:02
  we could do the occasional new episode. I mean, well, I think
• 1:22:05
  we've missed the boat now with season thirty four, season thirty five thesis coming
• 1:22:09
  out, I think if we're going to do that, it's going to be
• 1:22:11
  from the beginning of the season. Yeah, maybe we could do like the
• 1:22:15
  first episode of various seasons. Yeah, pick and choose. I don't think
• 1:22:17
  we'll do all of them because, like you said, it fuck with the
• 1:22:20
  chronological order. But I was still gonna be doing the show by season thirty
• 1:22:23
  five. Who knows. Maybe it's a chance to sort of get them in
• 1:22:25
  the bag whilst we can. But yeah, I would. I would like
• 1:22:29
  to review him, because he's right. I do struggle to find like really
• 1:22:31
  good reviews on the newer episode to get a casion. People sort of given
• 1:22:34
  their two cents on YouTube. Occasionally goes like five minutes or whatever, but
• 1:22:38
  probably in depth reviews. It would be nice, I know a man Ali
• 1:22:40
  Ja and Neil Simpson's index. He does do the occasion of new episode as
• 1:22:43
  well on his podcast. Yeah, it was something you would definitely consider.
• 1:22:46
  Maybe one season. Thirty five launchers, stay tuned, maybe patrons, even
• 1:22:50
  enough people subscribe to Patreon. Maybe we were gonna make it worth our time
• 1:22:53
  because we already probably out enough content for you guys. I want to keep
• 1:22:58
  churning out the content here we are. Indeed, so Matt, it's a
• 1:23:00
  it's a put it into the maybe pile for now. We'll see how we
• 1:23:02
  go. We'ld like too, but we'll see how we go. But that's
• 1:23:05
  been our review of where on the Road to do. Hope you guys enjoy
• 1:23:09
