• 1:31
  Speaker 2: we get into your mailbag questions, there's some news stories
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: of breaking the Internet at the moment, so we.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: All know the internets are broken again.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: It's always breaking, isn't it.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: It seems very flimsy.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: So the thing is, we always talk about how the
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Simpsons predict everything, right, I think as a collective we
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: can sort of just put that to bed, please. It
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: feels like the only websites that do it now are
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: like you know your nine mbercn's that kind of thing,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: just trying to get a bit of clickbait. People are
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: still clicking it, so, you know what, more power to them.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: There are two there are two types of outlets and
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: two types of people that will do this. One is
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Normi's news sites just mentions like these people were not
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: thinking about the Simpsons twenty four to seven. But every
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: once in a while something will come was like, hey,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: you know that event that happened in the world, Well,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: there's cartoons show that your kids really love as predicted that.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Now back to you, Tom. And the other one is grifters.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Now this one here is what we call a grifter.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: So what annoys me is that, now I say news websites,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't really call them incredible news. I'm looking at
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: you Uni Lad whatever they called right and Lad Bible
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: and those kinds of things. But basically they're sharing this
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: talking about at the moment, this Trump video that's going
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: around on TikTok right about the Simpsons predicting Donald Trump's death. Now,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: this one comes from unilaed Tech and the headline says
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: truth behind viral claim that Trump could die on March fourteenth,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: following Simpson's prediction.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Now, you sent this to me first morning as we
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: were before we recorded. There's like wow, I check this
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: out as a wow chick this No, you were not
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: doing as you were, Wow, check this out? Dar. No,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: you know, mate, I'm kind of a dumbass. You know,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: there are sing there are things that will escape my views.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not especially gullible, but there are some
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: things of like oh wow, interesting hmm. I'm trying to
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: see both sides of that. This is blatantly fake? Is
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: it not even blatantly fake? This is just what is this?
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: So it's a Simpsons Predict Simpsons to predict on TikTok
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Simptons Predict Future.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Is the is the user Simpson's Predict Future one, which
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: means it's got multiple account? Yes, yes, probably Simpsons Predict
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Simpson's Predict Future eight out there. This person is churning
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: out this dreadful, dreadful nonsense.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: As the thing is, we're laughing at him, we're mocking him.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: This guy has one hundred This account has one hundred
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: and forty thousand followers. This video has seven million views.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that made me want to break shit. Oh it
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: makes me so sad. So what's happening?
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Is this person male fair, not sure who it is,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: is going into AI.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: I think we can call it an it.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: I think it's not really Yeah, it's if you've got
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: the AI Donald Trump predicted, it's got the AI voice, right.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: So basically all they're doing is they're entering stuff into
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: a prompt and it's letting AI do the work. Hey,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: it's working for them. Fucking news websites are going crazy
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: with it. But the video is has a predicted. Have
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: they predicted a Trump's death. The AI footage that you're
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: seeing in this, they're saying that, they're claiming it's an
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: unaired Simpsons episode, right, that predicted Donald Trump's death, and
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: he doesn't want to out right.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: It looks nothing like a Simpsons episode.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: This one scene has like twelve different homers, one with
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: a missing I and missing hands.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: It's clearly all AI. How is anyone resharing this claiming
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: even given this the time of day, Even Unilad or
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: lad Bible or whatever. I mean, sometimes they have some
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: halfway decent stuff or stuff that's semi amusing. This is
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: all empty calorie slop nonsense. Folks, Uh do yourselves the
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: perpetual favor and just avoid it.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: The thing is, though, I feel like right now I'm
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Grandpa Simpson with the I used to be with it,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: but they've changed what it was. This is now it
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: it's now weird and scary to me.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Well, it's the thing. It's not just weird and scary
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: to you, it's weird and scary to just about everybody.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, anybody with a functioning brainstemer is looking at this, going, eh,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: what's going on? Yeah? That doesn't even look real.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: The thing is though, right, the latest one says could
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: die on fourteenth of March. Right, but if he go back,
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: he did one last week, there's the twenty eeth of February,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: two weeks ago. There's one that says the twentieth of February.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: He just posts the same fucking video every single week
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: with a different date, and people are re sharing and
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: buying into it and be following.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Be alert people, Yeah, this is this is a real one.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Maybe people like this. Maybe I'm the crazy one. Maybe
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: maybe I should be. I'm the old fund daddy shaving,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: shaking my fist at the cloud. I'm sitting here, well
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: in my world. You know, we're sitting here, you know,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: we reviewing the Simpsons with as much credibility as possible.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: We're talking to people that worked on the show. We're
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: doing our to just keep the Simpsons torch flame, you know, alive. Right, Well,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: not just keep the Simpsons flamelight, but keep the look.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to say that we're the up Rachelon
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: of critical discourse here, but I mean everything that you're
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: hearing from your pal's Danel and Guy is coming from
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: the minds of Daniel and Guy. When we're I mean,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: we're not typing in prompt to AI, and we're not
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: creating computer generated content or anything like that. All those
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: clips you see on social media, I whacking those through
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: an AI generator. But Open's clips share the Open's clip,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: they do good work. They people use them for their
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: podcast clips. I make all the clips myself to make
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: sure they look the best they can be. I might
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: be crazy for doing so, but I prefer to make
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: it to myself.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's always going to and there's always going to
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: be a market. Look look at that. Look at these pages.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: I already looked at these, Dan Could Trump die thirtieth
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: of January? Could Trump die the twentieth of January?
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: It does it every single week. The same photos. Stop
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: showing this to me. I don't want to see it.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Same videos every single week, just changes the date and
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: people are resharing it.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: What is going on?
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: No, the Simpsons did not predict Trump's eventual death on
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: March fourteenth, because you know what's gonna happen next week.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: There'll be another video that says March twenty first, correct,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Holy smokes.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: So look, we're doing a public service announcement for you today, folks.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: It's avoid accounts like this if they come up in
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: your feed, just you know, there's gotta be some button
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: on TikTok or insider or whatever. They just says, I
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: don't want to see anything more like this that hit
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: that button.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: The people who watch this and re share this stuff, though,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: don't think they're Simpsons fans. I just think they're just
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: people that just like ai slop. It's just it's just
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: people who are just.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Who likes a slop. People do, clearly, it's one hundred
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: and forty thousand of them right now. Igue the feeling
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: that's spots, spots you reckon I to get to add credibility, Yes, yeah,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: potentially that's a good I think they have purchase bots
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: from Russia or Pakisa rush where yeah, okay, to rush
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: up the credibility from RUSSI up, But to rush up yes, yes, yes,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: but yes no, yes no.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: The Simpsons did not will not predict the death of
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: They we don't do that. Yeah, and predict future one
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: is let's look up Simpsons predicted future two. Here's the thing, though,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: in some homemade recording studio somewhere in the world, there's
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: probably some like Junior Dando who is actually the person
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: behind Sims's predict one going, I just want to be
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: part of the conversation. I'm just like you. Why am
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: I giving him that accent? Apologies to that person just
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: because he's different.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: So there is no Simpson's predict future, no number There
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: is no number two. For some reason, He's added one
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: in there, like it just makes it seem even worse.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: No, no, oh sorry, I could, I could do something. Very
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: is number one. I don't do a borrowed voice because
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: that's you know, you can get away with it. Yeah,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: it seems a brittany fulture number one.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: So yeah, Simpson's Predictions for twenty twenty five two point
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: one million views. This guy's been doing his videos for
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: a long time and it's working for him. More credit
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: to him. You know people are watching this ship? Well yeah,
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: I think a lot of people seem to be watching
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: this shit out of pure curiosity.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Though, yes, that's the thing. I mean, they're But the
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: problem is if you go on watching it and resharing it.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: I know that's the terrible thing. But if you go
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: on YouTube, for instance, Yeah, if you go into like
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: you're typing movie trailers, new movie trailers or whatever, and
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: you will find a lot of yeah AI generated slop
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: for like, hey, we've got the Avengers doomsday trailers like
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: you No, you don't. No, you typed a few prompts
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: in give me rober Danney Jr. As Doctor Doom saying
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Avengers you will die?
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: Whoa what?
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: And you know there were chumps out there who were like,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: holy moly, I got the first Avengers first comment. What
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: ships me?
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: As though, places like Unilatter right, they give this stuff
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: the time of day purely because they again grifting, trying
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: to get the clickbait right. But then they'll post it.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: I mean it's clearly fake. Then why why are you
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: putting a big news thing about it?
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Because they all want their small slice of the attention dollar.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: We're in the attention economy and you.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Know, and I know we're talking about it right on
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: our show, right. But the thing is they end it
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: by saying, you know, the Simpsons of a lies. Our
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: features already written. I guess we have to wait and
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: see whether.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: This comes true. Okay, well, let's establish our bona fide
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: is here. Do not watch this No, do not follow
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: this account if it comes up in your algorithm block,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: say I don't want this vote with your attention dollar, yes,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: and give that attention dollar to your pal. The other
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: need some positive news though, positive news. Okay, hear me,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: so our.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Pals at kid Robot, who do some awesome Simpsons figures.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: I've got my Devil Flanders up there, and a lot
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: of little mini ones. I've got the mister Sparkle behind me.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: He s with the laundry box box. You know you're
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: right in front.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: No, I see it, I see it, you see it.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: I've got to look past you.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: But they do great vinyl figures, that kind of thing.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: But they have released a thirty six inch high Homer
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: in the Hedges figure.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Right. Did you check this out? I did? I did,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: and then but I also did some metrics. No, no
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: metric conversion like now to thirty six inches, because you know,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: I'm a man and I tend to misrepresent size. This
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: is close to a meter at all, yes, very very tall,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: about ninety one centimeters. I mean, for those of us
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: you know, I would have the metric system. I don't
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: know what that shit is. I would love to have,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: bitch and reference folks.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: It feels completely unnecessary. I would still love to have it.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: But the thing is how much shit in this life
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: is necessary?
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Nothing's necessary, you're right, well, you know, food, shelter, breathing
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: in and out, can't be caring. That's an optional extra.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: But this is twenty twenty six.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: I don't think anyone in Australia could legitimately afford this
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: because it's sixteen hundred US dollars and I don't think
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: anyone in twenty twenty six has that kind of money
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: to drop on something when you've got Homer and Hedges,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: cheaper stuff available at your local toy stores. You got
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: the Funko pop vinyls. Yes they don't look like this,
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: but man, it's it feels like as cool as this is,
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: I love it. I'm just not sure I can afford this.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: I would ever, just even if I had the money
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: and I spend that much money on it.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: And we're in a room full of Simpsons crab Yeah,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: oh can't. So yeah, maybe not the best time to
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: come out with something that costs a pretty penny, but
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know. If you're a fan of Simpson's stuff, Yeah,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: and look, as you said from our powers at kid Robot,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: makers of quality merch due.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: It is his spinning around. There's just a giant Homer head,
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: so thirty six inches. So that giant iron giant up there,
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: that's twenty nine so it's ten inches bigger than that,
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: So it's probably it's probably if it's on there, it's
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: probably gonna be touching the roof.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: It's massive.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Well, don't never move your iron giant. No, no, the
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: iron giant No six days. Yes, but the thing is
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: I just I don't know. Hopefully it works for him.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: It's a bowl st let's seve.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: It pays, but look more powered kid robot.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, look, I think I think they may have
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: missed the boat with the Homer and head stuff because
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: it's just as a Simpsons fan Simpce, it's dying hard.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Me personally, I'm over the Homer in Hedge stuff now
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: because it kind of feels like everyone's talking. Everyone knows
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: the Homer and Hedge has been.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you'll you'll god tier Simpsons fan, right right?
• 12:53

  Speaker 1: I'm aware of what it is. I'm help.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: I was like, Stucky was like fairy, isn't it. It's
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: got texture texture to it. Yeah, it's not plastic.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: It's going to feel legit. But yeah, I mean looks cool.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: It looks great. Sure, everything from Kid Drover, it looks great.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: It's just come we here forward. Yeah we should say yeah.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: I mean I've been trying to push the kid Robot
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: barrow here. It's like, these guys make good stuff. They do, Yes,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: these are the stuff. This is not.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Shall we say team, here's the thirty six inch by
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: Simpsons that god as well. I'm looking at him like
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: twelve and fifty US dollars. I've got the Simpsons movie stand.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: I'm like, it's not as good as that, But it's fine.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: I think that's probably bigger. Yes, but that that again,
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: it's kind of it's just like Bart with a skateboard.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: You mean, I mean, if you've got the money, I'm
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: sure it looks awesome. This is what it looks like in
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: real life. Someone took a photo of it, so it
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: just looks like that.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: There's probably some tech bro of course, who was like, yeah, hey,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: you know what I love growing up The Simpsons. So
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: myself is like I see myself as like the boat
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Simpson in my neighborhood. Yeah, tend to me to throw
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: down twelve fifty chump change or yes, what is it,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: thirty six inch gant yard.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: So I feel like that kind of thing does have
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: an audience, does have a market. I just don't think
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: it's the casual Simpsons collector. Oh no, people complain, But.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: I'm guessing the kid robot is probably you know, they've
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: got a lot of stuff that would be it's designer toys.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, but yeah, that is the latest release from
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: kid Robots.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: I hope it works out.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: From the awesome pieces, I would love to own them,
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: I just don't think I could ever afford them. And
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: like trying to get those things ship to Australia to
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: the point where we say, hey, if you want to
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: be a patron the four finger, justsca that work.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Hey, kid Robots sent send us one and we'll talk all.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: There is that. Yeah, we talk about keeping the lights
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: on here off condition. Now we're talking about give us
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: more crap, give us more money to board, more grap
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: so us more stuff so we can sell it. Well,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: there is that. But hey, yeah, kid robot, legitimate friend
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: of the pot. I mean, I like to think we're
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: doing on a solo by saying we like your stuff.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: Yes, Now let's get into a couple of questions, shall we.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Let's go to the ones from the mail bag? All right,
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: so open it up. This one here comes from Chris
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Dein Christine. What inspired Ristine or Chris Christine?
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Christine with the tea, Christine with a T, like the car,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: like the guest killer Stephen Kin Carr.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: Yes, she wants to know what do you consider to
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: be the most overrated Simpsons episode of the Golden era?
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Oh, golly, Christine with a K. By the way, I
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: was confused, I've gone here, So I've got a couple
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: of answers right, I may get people coming at me
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: with pitchforks. Right, I'm going to throw margresses the monorail
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: out there. I was gonna say, now, this is honestly
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: the first thing that sprang to mind.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: That's not to say that I don't think it's an
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: amazing episode, right, But recently on four Finger discount on
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: a Facebook page, we've run competitions like the best contest
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: ever and season four was won by March resus the monorail.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: And I and a lot of people are annoyed by this,
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: but you know, I left it to the people. The
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: people voted, so people seem to think it's the most
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: you'll almost beloved episode of season four.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: You like the Donald Trump of Simpson's podcast. I led
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: the people to say yes.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: But the thing is, I think that March rest of
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: the monorail is probably probably gets this accolade because it's
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: the most memorable. I think everyone remembers, even the casual
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Simpsons viewer, even people who aren't Simpsons fans, remembers that
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: time they had the monorail.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Try to remember what else happens in the episode, or
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: get specific about what happens in the episode beyond How
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: does that episode. I can't know.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: I so I know, but a lot of people will go,
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Hey, March's the Monoroil. Oh yeah, Monrel. That's what everyone remembers,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: the monorail songs, like oh yeah, but oh that guy's
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: a con man, and then they go to these other
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: towns and oh yeah, the monorail is. Yeah. It's a
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: big white elephant.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: And it's got some great jokes, obviously, and it's always
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: filled with great jokes, filled with weird absurd Conan O'Brien.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so here's the thing. It's got a great centerpiece,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: it's got Phil Hartman doing some of Phil Hartman's best stuff,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: and it's got the Conan O'Brien name on it. Now,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: these are all sort of big signifiers of quality. They
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: are all things that we that we really really love
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: and admire. So it's only natural that we're saying overrated here.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: It doesn't necessarily mean that it's bad, No, not at all. No,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: it's not bad in any way. That's correct, But I
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: think it yeah, because it's got those things attached to it,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: and a lot of people can go, oh yeah, Montrel. Yeah.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: But yeah, as we're saying, what else happens in this episode,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: and that's not necessarily a bad thing. But ye go back,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: go back, and rewatch your boy. Go hey. That's a
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: pretty good episode that it is the instant go to
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: for a lot of people. It's got the.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Leonard Nimoy, you know, didn't I. It's got the I
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: shouldn't stopped that haircut?
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Batman's a scientist, that guy, right, it's got Homer. Episode
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: begins with Homer singing the Simpson Simpson. These are all
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: just funny bits that are sort of just thrown in
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: because it's just Conan just saying this would be funny.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: Smithers and mister Burne's trying to hard nuclear waste into
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: trees and you get. It's all just it's a wackiness, right,
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: and it's funny. But for me personally, this isn't what
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: I would call a perfect Simpsons episode. If you go
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: on for best Simpsons episodes, I think ones need to
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: have more of an emotional story to it. We recently
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: was not release yet, but Rosebud. We discussed Rosebud with
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: day Thornton. That's another episode similar to this. Lots of
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: funny bits. You washing it going, oh my god, sixty
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: four slices of American cheese. Oh my god, two plus
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: two is four.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: That.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Yes, all these moments the ramones, but it's got an
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: emotional core behind it as well, Yes, which I don't
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: think Margin Misus the Monomail has Homer wants to do good,
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: he says the day, but it's not an emotional story.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: There's no emotion to that episode. And that's not saying
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: that's a bad I think, but for me personally, I
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: want a bit of emotion.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: But it's interesting that we both that marg Vesus the
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Monroroy was actually the first thing that came to mind
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: for both of us without discussing it.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: Yes, I also was surprised. I thought you would have
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: said Cape Fear as well. Well, yeah, but that's kind
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: of my go to these days in terms of and
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: I wanted to shake things up with the people for
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: the people. Then, because the argument there is that as
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: funny of a parody Cape Fear is everyone remembers the
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: rate gag and people some people say the rate gag
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: goes too long. You're one of those people. I watch
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: it and I'm like, I see what you mean. Yeah,
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: it does go along that that that's the joy.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Also that's the joke.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Yes, but there's there's a lot, there's a Mister Thompson
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: that there's lots of great in that episode. But again,
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: I don't think it has I think it suffers from
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: that lack of emotional core that Rosebud has.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the other thing. I think the other thing with
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: Cape Fear is that, and there's purely a personal thing.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: I tend to get a little weary of sar job
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Bob's got it in for Bart again. Yeah, I mean
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: that was only the second off, but yeah, they all
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: tend to sort of bleed into one for me. Okay,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: so I'm like, I can probably live without this.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I've also got one extra one here, which
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: pains me to say because it's so beloved for me.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: I have so many fond memories of it. But it's
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: who shot mister Burns, Right. I think the mystery and
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: the hoopla around the mystery outshines the actual quality of
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: the gags. You watched the episode, and the episode itself
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: obviously has funny moments, right, But as an episode, I
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: don't think they're the best episodes, But the situation that
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: surrounded them is what you remember, and you had this
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: nostalgia connection to it. Yeah, it was so much fun.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: The whole situation was fun.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: We've been talking about this so long that you know,
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: we're talking about the quality of the episodes, what's actually
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: inside the episodes, but I think we're also talking about
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: the process of making them and the process of marketing
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: them as well. And yeah, you're very correct in what
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: you say. That's like, Oh this was this wasn't so
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: much created as a story.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: As it was an event. That's and it was a
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: fun event. Oh sure, it meant a lot to kids
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: who watched it at the time.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Look, marketing and hype and hoop like can
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: be just as much of an art form as the
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: creation of the art itself. And there's certainly got people talking,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: and it got people watching The Simpsons and got people
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: thinking and all that kind of stuff. So yeah, I mean, no,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: I agree with you one hundred percent that everything around
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: it is more entertaining and perhaps has more of a
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: lifespan and more substance and impact in the episodes themselves.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: Because you see often people share on social media, myself included,
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: someone's made a fake Las Vegas betting like the betting
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Gods on the screen of who actually did it? And yeah,
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: that never happened, but I remember they did the It
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: was like a crime Stoppers kind of show in America,
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: and what was it called Mary's Most Want h Yeah,
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: but it did like a fake one for this episode,
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: like it was a big deal and it meant so much.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I just it pays me to say, But
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: I think who Mister Burns may be a bit overrated
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: in our mind's purely because of the event makes it
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: seem like a better episode than what it was.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Well, when something is overrated, I think it tends to
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: be because it was incredibly propular and it has taken
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: on a life of its own beyond the episode itself.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Oftentimes it seems like people are reacting not so much
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: to the material itself, but everything surrounding the material.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: Next question from Jim. Pop culture is filled with many
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: larger than life characters. Who do you believe is the
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: most springfield coded real life celebrity? I've gone with Jack Black. Oh, okay,
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: I think Jack Black as a over active He's like
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: an overactive child in a man's body. You know, he's
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: got his over the top facial expressions. He's full of energy.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: He's just a lot of physical comedy. I think he
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: could fit right into He feels like a Simpson's Carria.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, life sales of another Jack And I'm not
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: really I don't really know much. As we were saying before,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: you know, when we were talking about I've already forgot
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: the name of that dreadful site future one that's going
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: to become a bit of it. If the world of
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: internet culture is sort of like I don't understand you,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: and there are internet personalities that quote unquote celebrities streamers now,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: isn't it. Well, that's the thing, or people who were
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: just your influencers. For instance, there was a young man
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: apparently his name is Jack Dougherty. I think, yeah, he
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: might be a bit of a nepo baby. It was
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: only all his son of people who are very rich.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Unless he's sort of created.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: Oh that guy, Yeah, and he got punched in the
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: face ones or something or someone.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: He's basically someone on the Internet who goes around and
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: he sort of you know, teases people and until he
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: gets into fights. Yeah. Yeah, I think he's like twenty
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: two or something and he only too Yeah. One of
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: the things he sort of went viral for he had
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: like a like a supercar, like a McLaren or something,
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: and he just crashed it and his mate was filming
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: at the time, and his mate sort of filmed the
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: accent and filmed him walking away from bro I just
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: totaled moment, Claire. He to my mind, if we're talking
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: about Simpsons coded real life people, he is like Freddy
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Quimby or Gavin who wants bone.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: Storm, yes, or I think I think more Freddie. Freddy's
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: got the money, yes, and he's just an absolute obnoxious
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: wanker about it.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And there's some other kid on the Simpsons who
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: sort of has a little sort of he's very entireed,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: a little pig nose. He's only like supporting. But oh
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: as a school kid, I'm thinking, yeah, I could be
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: thinking of something. Okay anyway, But yeah, but he feels
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: very Freddy quimbyish. And he also feels very kind of like,
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: I'm not sharing the Queenland. I'm not sharing the game
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: with Keathland. Shut up, mom by two, I'm not sharing
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: with Kaitland, Yes, exactly. So I don't know, I get
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: the feeling. Yeah, he feels like a Springfield terrible character.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Sort of pulled out of the screen and put into
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: our world, and we're all the worst for it.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: I also can see a character like Dennis Rodman. He
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: feels just you know, he's so unpredictable, he's so insane.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: He feels like a background character that somehow becomes the
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: main story.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Sure, do we have any sports people like that these days?
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Like I mean high profile ones. I mean think of
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: like high profile say NBA.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: Players who are willing to push limits like that. Yeah,
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: the bad boys of the sport. Yeah, I don't think
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: we have bad boys of the sport because people are
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: just too focused on being canceled. Now, so he could
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: Robin wouldn't survive now, you knowst thing?
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: I think you could be outrage without being sort of
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: doing stuff that gets you canceled.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the closest thing we have in Australian
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: maybe Bailey Smith, That's what I was thinking, which is
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: an AUSTRALIANRU football for Geelong.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, very talented player, young man, and he's very sort
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: of open about you know, he struggles with mental health
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: and involves control and all that kind of stuff. But
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: he also constantly wears a headband and looks like he's
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: wearing eyeshadow and it kind of looks like Jack s Barrett.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, come on to an extens so I see Geelong's
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: AFL coach Chris Scott very similar to Phil Jackson. And
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: Phil Jackson was apparently known for a guy who had
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: a bunch of characters and he knew how to handle
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: each character and let them be themselves because he knew
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: once they got on the court, they got shit done.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Correct.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: Yes, And Chris Scott seems to be a coach who's
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: just like, I know they're fucking wild, yes, but I
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: keep them. I keep them on a leash. They might
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: think they're doing what they want. I keep them on
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: their leash. I let them do what they want because
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: they I know once they get on that field, they're
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: gonna do what I asked him to do.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: It's good coaching. It's a good coach.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: He's a good coach. Indeed, right, next question here, this
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: one comes from Scott. Scott says, is Principal Skinn a
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: funnier pre or post the Arm and TAM's Erring episode
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: which is Principal and the Paupers what he's referring to.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: Did it change your view of him? When rewatching previous episodes.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: I like that second part there. So do you think
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: it was funny a pre or post? So first answer
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: there is he was funny a pre because I think
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: post he became a simp missus k. I think the
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: character changed a lot post Grade School Confidential when he
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: starts dating missus Kay, because he never seemed like a
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: simple He seemed like a mumma's boy in the first
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: eight seasons, and then he became just pathetic and the
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: kids weren't afraid of him anymore. And I think a
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: lot of characters just lost their fear fact. Burns is
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: another one. The power plant employees weren't scared of him anymore.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: No one was scared of him. No one's scared of
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: Nelson anymore. No one's scared of Burns anymore. No one's
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: scared of Skinner anymore. You need those figures in the
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: world who put the fear of Goide into people.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: That's the thing you need to give you a character,
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: a fully rounded kind of personality and a life and
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: an existence. But at the same time, what you really
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: need to think about screenwriting lessons from you a Power
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Guy is how they fit into the story and the
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: role they fit in the role they play in the
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: overall story. Now real Skinner is an authority figure. You know,
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: he's an antagonist to Bart, primarily with thinking about the
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: Simpsons family and how they interact with the people around them.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Homer is Homo's antagonist is mister Burns because you know,
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: he has to go to work and it's like, oh, well,
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: this is the guy who's running the show, and if
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: I mess up or you know, if I cross this guy,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: I'm in trouble. No one likes their boss, and no
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: one likes their boss except me. Um. Yeah, so Skinner
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: needed to be a guy who is like, when I'm here,
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: I'm running the show, and you know, this is how
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: things have got to go in my school, except you know,
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: he's always being you know, tripped up by Bart in
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: one way, or Bart is always sort of pushing against
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: that authority, and after hours as clear as like, oh,
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: this guy's got feed to Clay because his mum's pushing
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: him around. That's all you need. You don't need that
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: many character traits. He's just like, oh, I'm an authority figure,
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: but I'm doing that because when I go home, my
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: mum's like, stand up straight see Moore or something like that.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: Also, when Bart gets revenge on Skinner, Bart's still the
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: bad guy. Bar did something wrong, Skinner punishing for it,
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: and Bar's getting eventually is a shithead. Yeah, it's not.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: It's not getting come up. It's because Skinner deserves it.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: Skinner don't deserve get his house agged and things. Absolutely,
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: they're being disrespectful.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: So is he funny a pre? He's definitely funny a pre.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: I think so. Yes.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the character lost a bit of its luster.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: I won't think I don't think it lost its luster
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: because of the arm and TAM's or anything.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: I don't think that.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: I don't think that makes any difference at all at all.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: It's not the episode. It was the fact that he
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: was now in a relationship with missus k And I
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: think it seemed like a good idea at the time,
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: But to keep that relationship going it just made it
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: just de evolved the character. Yeah, I think so he
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: lost his luster. He's lost his ability to have any
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: sort of I don't know what's the term control over
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: the kids. Yeah, and they had no respect for him anymore.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: He became a punchline.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if the authority Thinkure has no authority, then what's
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: the point?
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so I think and does it does it change?
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's funny that Yeah, he is
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: the one that Skinner is the one who's trying to
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: present this picture of like, yes, I'm running the show
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: around here, except incomes Charmers, and Charmers is pushing him
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: around as well.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: So yeah, but even they made Skinner less scared of
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: Charmers by the end of they they ruined all those Yeah,
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: those relationships they did, didn't They They took that sort
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: of out of the comedy. But the second part of
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: the question was does it affect your viewing of previous episodes?
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: Not in any way, none, not at all. That those episodes,
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: of those episodes they're funny, they're funny or they're not.

• 30:55
  Speaker 2: Simpsons changed since joining? So basically, I think she's trying
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: to ask what we were for and the Simpsons going
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: into it, and have has your opinion changed since?
• 31:03

• 31:14
  Speaker 1: Good question and thank you. Has my view of the
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: Simpsons changed since joining the show? Yeah, it's interesting. I mean,
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: what did you think of.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: The Simpsons when you first joined it? What were your
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: memories of the Simpsons? Did you think talking about the
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: Simpsons or were you just like, oh, I'll do whateverse
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: the pay the bills.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: A little from Colum, A little from Colum b Now.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: I thought it would be interesting given that I had
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: a real love and appreciation for The Simpsons. But yeah,
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: again what we call Golden era, because I really it
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: was a sense of human It was very much in
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: sync with my own the episodes that I really loved,
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: and also I recognized it as kind of like, well,
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: this is really shifting a whole lot in terms of
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: the way, you know, television comedy has made, American comedy
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: has made. It was it's so rare when something becomes
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: like part of the establishment almost immediately. I mean, and
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: when I say almost immediate, I mean, of course it
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: took a.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: Few years, but I think it was pretty instant. It
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: was pretty instant because but I think also too, you
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: entering the podcast in an era where you hadn't watched this.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: That's the other thing. Yeah, I mean when we started
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: talking about from season ten on, was like, I know
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: some of these episodes, but yeah, watching the Simpsons wasn't
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: like a full on a point reviewing slash regular kind
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: of thing. So never for you, oh not never, No,
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: I mean there were certainly episodes, particularly from you know
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: ten through to maybe like the mid teens, it was like, oh, yeah, look,
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: I know a lot.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: I'm talking Golden era though, But when the Golden Era
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: was on TV. Was it something that you were watching
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: at all?
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: I was sure, okay, yeah, yeah, I mean I watched it, yeah,
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: pretty regularly. And of course they'd be repeat episodes. It's like, oh, yeah,
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: this is on Fantasy'm gonna watch it because you would
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: have been mid twenties. Yeah, and of course you know
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: you're sitting around and beers with you mates, well, you know,
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: maybe ingesting something else and just but how many times
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: have we been on. Yeah, we've had guests on and
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: we'll be talking about Oh, that just became part of
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: my language. Either oh that's a punchline that I really like,
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: or just a line becomes something you can apply to
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: everyday life. Yeah, so I certainly found that. Yeah, but
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: with episodes post season ten, a lot of it was
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: oh this is a good reminder of something that I liked,
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: or oh that's a reminder of something that i'd forgotten,
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: or okay, this is fine. But you can also watch
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: the development of the show both as a as its
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: own creative thing, but also how it's responding to the
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: entertainment environment around it. How many times have we said, oh, well,
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: they know that South Park is on the same block now,
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: and they have to adjust their thinking according or family
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: guys at and oh they're trying to be a bit
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: of family guy here. So I find that really interesting
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: as well, maybe more so. I need more interesting from
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: taking that big picture of you as opposed to I'm
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: just enjoying this episode that we certainly times when I'm
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: enjoying the episode, but I'm more thinking about it in
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: terms of this is how it's responding to the way
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: things are in the world or the way things are
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: in the entertainment industry.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: Critiquing it.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so haw's my view of The Simpsons changed
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: since joining I guess I'm looking at it more as like,
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: this is how it's made, This is how the sausage
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: is made. And I find that just as invigorating and
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: talking about it just as invigorating.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: I think you happen to watch it week to week
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: to week, Yeah, you get a sense of this is
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: what they're doing at this point in time. Absolutely, that
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: is what the writer's room was into at the moment.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, now, these questions he come from the
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: Patreon group. So have you suppot of ours on Patreon?
• 34:41

• 34:59
  Speaker 2: old jobs prietually four Finger Discount. Can you tell us
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: more about your backgrounds and how you ended up podcasting.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: We've touched on it before. You know, you journalist and
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: you move reviewing as well, but just give a brief
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: summary of Guy Davis pre ffd.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, sure, I was, Yeah, a journalist and feature writer
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: and a critic. Yeah, I mean writing about film, television
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: culture in general. But also you know, a bit of
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: everything overall Playboy overall Playboy. Yes, a man's man, woman's man,
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: man about town. Men wanted him, men wanted to be correct,
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: men wanted to do it. So, yeah, a bit of
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: that for yeah, the bulk of my career. And occasionally,
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: you know, with the way things going, you take other
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: jobs to make ends meet, and I started doing a
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: bit of work at Pop Culture, which is where I
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: met Brendan Dan. First day, they plumped me down next
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: to him and said, do what Dando does? How do
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: you do it? Dan?
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: The way I told you two minutes ago. Jesus Christ
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: rather be here.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: But you know, Dan, I started talking about this thing
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: that he did call a podcast on what is Like Radio.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: But no, the more he talked about it, the more
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: intrigued I god, because he was clearly switched on and
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: very very passionate about it. And they're very generously. He
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: and former co host who shall not be named No Mitch,
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: he invited, they invited me onto, I think talk about
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: movies at some stage.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: So we did Kill Movie Guys, was a Patreon only thing.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: That's how it started.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: So we did a few episodes together and Mitch was like, skew,
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: you guys have going harm and I'm like, well, God,
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: you take that seat. Mitch decided to go get a
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: proper job, and Dano very generously asked me to come
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: on board. So since then, I mean again, it's been
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: sort of the story in my career that I'll piece
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: a whole lot of things together and you know, basically
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: make a living out of that, and this is part
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: of that right now, which we do mbell work as well,
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: and that's true work in pop culture sometimes and yeah,
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: so I'm very very happy to be part of the
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: of the process. So that's yeah. Basically, if I had
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: to you do that thing where you travel internationally, it
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: was like, what do you do for a job? It's
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: like when I put down journalist or writer. Yeah, so
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: that's what I do.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: The way I got into podcasting, I think I was
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: very much inspired by listen to the audio commentaries of
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: The Simpsons DVDs and whatnot and for the first time
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: being interested into not just the show but how the
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: show was made. And I found myself more interested in
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: hearing that than the actual dialogue of the show. And
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: I used to go to bed every night listening to
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: those commentaries, and I think that sort of inspired me
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: to just become a podcast. Plus, we had a show
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: called The Panel here and it shows me Wednesday nights,
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: I think nine o'clock on Channel ten.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: When you said we thought you, you and Mitch were
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: the Panel and I love that show.
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: And even when I was a kid and a lot
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: of the time i'd know it what they're talking about
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: I just love the idea of just It felt like
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: Mate's just sitting around chatting. Sure, and that's essentially what
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: podcasting has become. It was just and so I think
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: that was sort of my introduction to podcasting. Then my
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: mate was a big fan of these guys called Open Anthony,
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: and he used to download their their their radio shows
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: and that uploaded. This is before podcast was even a
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: terment was just you can now listen to the stream
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: of their show after it's finished. And we'd sit there
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: and then it'd be like a three hour show and
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: we'd be in class and he'd eat but one en
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: and I haven't, and the other we sit next to
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: and we just listened to Open Anthony whilst we're working
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: at school, and it was just we became obsessed with
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: these guys talking and we started on our own podcast.
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: We ended up getting to Michael and Dando show on
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: local radio stations here, and then Michael eventually left to
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: do his other thing, and I was like, I'm enjoying this.
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: I'm going to keep doing it. And that eventually led
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: to me doing more radio work solo, and then I
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: went got picked up with k Rock. Caro came me
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: on and I went, I'm sick of talking about pop
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: stars and we'll talk about the Simpsons. And they all
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: called me crazy. And then I left it and I
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: started doing Simpsons podcasts and that took off, went really,
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: really well. And my old boss of KI Rock, who
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: moved to Triple M, called me, I think I've told
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: this on the podcast. And the day I quit pop
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: culture to podcasts full time, he called me up as
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: I was walking to the car. You couldn't predict this.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: I'm walking to my car after quitting, leave my laptop behind,
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: blah blah blah. He says, guess what I just did.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: And I said what, and he goes, just quit my job.
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: I said why, and he goes, I'm starting to podcast.
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: I'm like, guys, you are He's like you guys. The
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: first thing I thought of was I have to call
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: Dando and tell him you were right.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: Well, that's the only thing. I did a bit of
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: radio as well, for k Rock and BFM, the main
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: stations down here in g Town.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: Yes, all right, now, next question, Andy d have you read, played,
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: watched any good books, games, movies lately? Danel, I know
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: you're not really a gamer, and guy doesn't really know
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: how to turn onto PlayStation or anything like that. This
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: is sadly true, yes, but it's always worth a check,
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: So read it. Have you read anything that you've enjoyed lately?
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: Ah? What have I read recently that I've enjoyed?
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: I'm about to start the Tim Curry book that you
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: got me.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: Ah. Cool, we're both about to start biographies then, and
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: autobiographies because I recently got in the mail a book
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: called Scene by a gentleman named Abel Ferrara. If you
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: listen to the movie Guy with Martin Davis, you will
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: have heard me seeing his praises recently. He's a guy,
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: he's a bit of an underground filmmaker. Made one of
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: my favorite movies of all the time, a chrome movie
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: called Kingham, New York. Real character Abel Ferrara, very sort
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: of a New York street guy, sort of. You know,
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: he started off making porno movies, but porinals, porinals, but yeah,
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: you would make these sort of gritty exploitation movies that
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: have real, actual sort of themes and ideas in them,
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: and work with legitimately good actors. And yeah, he's just
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: lived a really interesting life and he's written his memoir now.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: He was like a he was a drug addict and
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: a drunk for gods. Oh now really late in life
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: he's sort of found Buddhism. He's become a dad late
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: in life, and he's got of mellowed out his act
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: and now he's writing about it all. So yeah. The
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: book is called Scene s c n E. By Abel
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: for Hour.
• 40:39

• 42:41
  Speaker 1: good in what I intake in terms of like, you know, food,
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: but culture as well. But also gave myself a bit
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: of an escape. Hats like at the end of the month,

  Speaker 1: too bad? It was pretty good? So I got the
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: you know, I've got the macas meal. It's like, what's
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: a good compliment for this final destination? Bloodlines on four K,

• 43:51
  Speaker 1: Day was great, four was five is okay? And yeah,
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: this last one, the sixth one, is really good. I'm
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: surprised there hasn't been like twenty of them already. Fine,
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: And it just feels like it's such a basic, simple
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: concept and you don't just think five creative ways to
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: kill people done? Yeah, and you're killing people all the time.
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: You don't have recurring characters in this ship.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: We don't have to feel emotionally connected to them.
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: We just care about how they're dying. Did you This
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: went online the other day, the trailer of the Scary
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: Movie reboot.
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: I've not seen any of it now. I keep seeing
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: things pop up with what's his name, who's the Waynes?
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: Waynes?
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, doing interviews and I'm like, Eh, they just wanted
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: to do that smoking face. Yeah, just that I'm the
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: high face. I'm like, that's all this has become.
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: Well, that's all it ever was. Yeah. Yeah, I watched
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: the trailering oh god, but there's a whole generation people like, yeah,
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: we can't believe it's back.
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: That makes I am. I remember Scary Movie one being
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: a big deal when it came out and we all
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: really enjoyed it. But then it got to like number
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: three and I was like, ah, this this is all
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: you go? Huh oh?
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah? But which one had Charlie Sheen and it I
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: think that might have been three, three or four. Apparently
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: those movies makes them like major, I'm more than the
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: screen movies that inspired them. Yeah, there you go. So yeah,
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: that's something that's something that I watch and really enjoyed,
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: if you're into that kind of thing.
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: John Luoney here says, if you and guy were trapped
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: on an island, how long and who would be the
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: first one to turn to cannibalism? Expand on this, Boney, buddy,
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: who would be the first to resort to cannibalism? I
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: don't think I could kill anybody. I think I could
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: kill you. I think I think you'd probably have to
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: kill me. I would say, look, we're going to die
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: anyway you have me.
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: I thanks, thanks, buddy. I think we would learn how
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: to fish. You go for a swim, try and find something. Yeah,
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: it's funny. Here's another thing I heard just recently, and
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: I might have alluded to this. I think I probably
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: actually talked about this in the recent episode. But there's
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: a new TV mini series of Lord of the Flies,
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: not Lord of the Rings, Lord of the Flies.
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: You know that story about the we do a higher school,
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: do it at school?
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: Or piggy for a little piggy, But yeah, it's basically
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: about the kids. Who are you stranding on a desert island?
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: Whole bunch of little preteen boys.
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: I think that's what das Bus was a take off
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: of and they all descend into savagery and they were
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: not rescued by Mo. And this guy like he's a
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: modern philosopher named Rutka Bregman, he was talking about this
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: and he said, yeah, people always talking about, oh, little
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: boys are savages, and they always cite Lord of the Flies.
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: Here's an actual thing that happened. A bunch of boys
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: from a believed Tonga went out on a boat one day.
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: They did the cartman think of, like, yeah, let's go
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: play on Uncle Roy's boat. They got lost and they
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: drifted and they they were about maybe eight of them,
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: and they ended up drifting out at sea and they
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: got lost on it and they ended up.
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: On an I may remember this story. I think I
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: told you not too long ago. And it was like, oh,
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: and do they all kill each other and in each
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: other John Looney style? No, they did not. They all
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: worked together. They collaborated. They built a little gym so
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: they yeah, so they could like keep their strength up
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: and stuff. But they was like, okay, mate, your job
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: to maintain the fire, maintain the signal path so we
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: might get rescued. You guys, you're searching for food, okay,
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: and we'll swap roles occasionally so nobody gets you know.
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: The Tonguan Castaway, as they're called, a group of six
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: Tongue and teenage boys who shipwrecked on an inhibited island
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: in nineteen sixty five and lived there.
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: For fifteen months.
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: Fifteen months, the boys ran away from their boarding school
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: on the island of Tongue Tapoo Tongue Tapoo, stealing a
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: boat in their escape. After a storm wrecked the boat,
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: they drifted to the abandoned remote island and managed to
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: keep themselves in good order for the dureration under the circumstances.
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: Long thought dead, they were discovered and rescued in September
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: nineteen sixty six by Australian lobster fisher up Peter Warner.
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: That is incredible, isn't that great? Yeah, so I get
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: the veiling, dwann Or, and I would basically set up
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: a functional society. In fact, we would probably create a
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: resort that people would want to come to. How did
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: they eat? What did they eat? I wonder?
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: Initially they were desperate for food and water, but their
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: situation improved after three months when they discovered the ruins
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: of the village of column Mail in the island's volcanic crater.
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: Following a two day climb, they revived the remnants of
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: nineteenth century habitation, surviving on feral chickens bananas, and they're
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: just fed away.
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, lifelone's away. Yeah. Tonguans find a way captured
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: rain water for drinking and they've just they made it work. Yeah, yes,
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: he've worked it out. It's problem solved. So that would
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: that would be Dan all night?
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: Yes, well, i'd hope. So anyway, that's what he makes
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: me think.
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: A big bam spice, feral chickens, white work where knocking
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: on my head?
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: This one here is from James Umerlane, greeting from Ireland.
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: Hello James, Hello James. I've been listening to you since
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: twenty eighteen and I dip in and out of Patreon
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: when I can afford it.
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: Thank you James for doing that.
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: I absolutely love all your different podcasts, so thank you
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: all for the wonderful content over the years. So just
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: a question for you about the Simpsons. So if it's
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: already been asked, but I've been interested in your taking it.
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: I've always defended the non Golden era of seasons as
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: they aren't completely shit as some people make it out,
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: but I always admit that there is a decent there
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: is a decline in quality. Question to you is was
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: there a particular episode or a moment that when you
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: first saw it air it made you go, oh shit,
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: that wasn't very good at all, now was it. I
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: can remember vividly watching the Brazil episode, which was very good,
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: but when Marge did the worry and dance at the
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: same time, it was honestly like feeling the feeling you
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: get when you realize that your dad isn't actually a superhero. Anyway,
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: I'd love to hear what your thoughts about that. Ah,
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: thanks a million for the excellent content. James, Thank you, James, James,
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: thank you for that excellent letter. I think for me
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: it was the episode where Hammah was being reviewed. It
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: Hommah was being hunted down by an assassin and then
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: it turns out to be Frank Grimes Junior.
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: I remember watching that for the first time when I
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: was a teenager and going that shit, just whatever. I
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: was not a fan of it. Also the Italian Bob,
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: which I liked when we did a review, but I
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: remember when we first When I first saw it, I went,
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: this is the show that I remember it being. I
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: just remember just not liking those episodes, and those were
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: the moments for me where I went, ah, yeah, I.
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: Wish I could think of something specific, But I do
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: recall a sort of a shift in tone where yeah,
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: that's that's very much the go too.
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: But I think that was a rock in a what
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: would you call it, like a pile not of diamonds.
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: But it was like that episode wasn't that ear of
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: the show wasn't terrible, It's just you just don't like
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: that particular episode that.
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: Could well be it. Yeah, but yeah, I'm trying to
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: remember a specific moment or a specific episode, But I
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: do recall sort of a shift in tone where it's like,
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: you guys used to sort of set the tone and
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: you were very much making yourselves laugh in a lot
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: of ways, and you're trying to keep up with the tone. Yeah,
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: oh god, I guess I wish I could recall the
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: specific kind of thing that that made me feel this
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: was like, are you're trying to catch up? You used
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: to lead the pack and now it's like I think
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: they like this. Yeah, yeah, it's a tough one, but
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: there's nothing where it sucks.
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: When you see a show that felt like The Powerhouse,
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: seem vulnerable, Yes and insecure.
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: Insecure is a good way of putting it.
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Hello Dano and Guy. This one's from a H. Bewie,
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: long time listener, first time emailer. Firstly, thanks for answering
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: my favorite movie of twenty twenty five question on your
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: Facebook Patreon. I'm sure we would must have a mailbak. Yeah,
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: we've heard from m Yes. Yes, I might have said
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: it a bit abrupt when I posted it. I was
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: in a rush at the time, so sorry about that. Also,
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: you both nailed the pronunciation of my name. Most people
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: say it like Ann the Anglo way. Most traditionally it
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: is pronounced and for simplicity, I just go with an.
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: So it's Anne as in A and H and as
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: opposed to N N and and Bwie. Just wanted to
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: say thanks for all the great podcasts. Four Finger disc
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: gag going down to South Park speaking of the hill
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: Bob's pods, you name it. You make my commute and
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: the open plant offers chaos much more bearable. I've got
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: another movie question for you. What's your most memorable movie
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: theater experience doesn't have to be the first time you
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: watched a movie or anything like that. Mine would have
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: to be the Return of the King in a dingy
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: cinema back in two thousand and three. The crowd reactions
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: were perfect for all the big moments. Another one is
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: The Dark Knight in two thousand and I can't remember
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: the last time a cinema felt that tense. Thanks again,
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: and keep podcasting and.
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: We certainly will, yes, and keep podcasting. Um, do you
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: want to go first?
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: I have memories of going to the it's more sort
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: of just what it meant to me for that moment
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: wasn't necessarily the cinema experience. But I remember going to
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: see Space Jam for the first time. I mentioned this
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: with my mum and that was the first and only
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: time that my mum and I went to the cinema
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: as just us. So I have fond memories of his
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: going there. And obviously it was full of kids and
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: it was just whow it's Michael Jordan and the Lynchins.
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: Kids are having a great time.
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: And I was there.
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: There's a said the Sipper cup over there on the bench.
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: That's the original Space Jam supper cup a little mini
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: game on topic. You can flicker basketball around. But I
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: just have these great memories of going to the movies
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: with Mum and it's just been like, it's just us today.
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: It's it's not my sister here, It's just us and
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: it felt special. I remember even though it turns out
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: in retrospect it wasn't a great movie, but the idea
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: of lining up for a film isn't something that with
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: people do anymore. But lining up for six hours to
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: see Force Awakens, Yeah, absolutely, that felt cool. It felt
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: like such a community feel of being the first one
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: is there and just seeing the line get bigger and
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: bigg and bigger, and just the excitement everyone talking the
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: line of is going to happen. We're all there for
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: the same reason, and just you could feel the excitement
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: in the air just in the line. That was That's
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: something that I'll always remember.
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think mine. I may have told this story before,
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: aren't so forgive me? When I was sure, I would
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: have been fifteen or sixteen. I went to see Back
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: to the Future at the Forum Cinema in Melbourne. I
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: knew about it, but I didn't know everything about it.
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: This is you know, this was nineteen eighty five. This
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: is near when you didn't have everything spoiling for any
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: of the basic concept. It's like, oh, he's a kid
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: from nineteen eighty five who goes back to nineteen fifty
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: five and gets involved in various shenanigans. Loved it from
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: the start, you know, it was like, oh, wow, this
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: is really energetic and funny and all this kind of stuff.
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: And it goes along, and it goes along and yeah,
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: looks spoilers back to the future here.
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: But the Biff moment, Yeah, the Biff.
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: Moment where you know Biff is, you know, getting a
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: bit handsy with Lorraine, and they've said up this whole
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: thing where it's like, oh, Georgian Fly's going to come
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: in and save the day by pretending to knock out Marty,
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: except it's Bif there. His bully has been tormenting in
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: the whole movie. George McFly finally stands up for himself.
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: I do bat At mefly punches out Biff. It was
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: a crowded cinema and we just not stood up as one,
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: but we were like, yeah, just the this is something
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: that we've lost a little bit in modern movie that
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: communal experience is just like everybody was just feeling the
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: same thing. It felt like we were just all parts
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: of one collective hole. It was fantastic.
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: Well, I had a similar experience to that kind of moment,
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: but it was more just a comedy aspect, because comedies
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: don't really They're very rare these days in the cinema,
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: and we went anti condas Nicola and I. I messaged
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: you when we were in. I was like, fucking cinemas
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: full man, I'm crazy. I haven't been this way for
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: a long time. And as a moment in the film
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: where I don't want to spoil anything, but Jack Black
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: is running away with a pig stretched to his head, right,
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: and they thought the pig was dead and spoiled. It's
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: not dead, right, and it's attachment and they're running away
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: from the anticonda and just the you have to sort
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: of be there, you have to sort of to see
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: the film, know what I'm talking about. It's fucking hilarious, right,
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: But everyone in the cinema was just uproariously laughing. I
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: was like, like, you said, this is what's missing now
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: watching films too. No phones are out. We're watching the
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: movie and we're all enjoying it in a shared experience.
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: We're all and because we're doing it, it made it
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: feel funnier as well. I was, we're all laughing together.
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: It was a real special moment.
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: And once that happens, it gains a bit of momentum
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: as well. I mean, going back to that, back to
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: the future screening, I mean what happens after that is
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: you know Marty who's been he's had his own difficulties
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: with like, oh, you know, I want to get up
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: and play my music, but you know what if nobody
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: likes it, and he finally gets his chance to be
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: on stage, and you know, he starts playing Johnny be Good.
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: Everyone's like, holy shit, this is great. Then he starts
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: playing heavy metal andone's like, what the fuck is going on?
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: We just thought it was the funniest damn thing we've
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: ever seen our lives. Everyone just like, oh my god,
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: this is so great. Yeah, just this general feeling of
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: joy and goodwill and happiness. We're all enjoying the same thing,
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: and we're all enjoying it together because even though none
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: of us knew one another. I tried to rewatch.
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: Why I tried, I did I rewatched that clip from
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: any Conda's just on my phone the other day and
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: I watched her.
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: Going Its funny as I remember, But the thing is,
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: I'm not in a room for people all laughing. You know.
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: It made that scene feel funny than what it actually was.
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so that is a good question. And thanks for
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: that question, Linna's you another one. He just loves it. Yeah,
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: we love him, we do. But look out, it's coming through.
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: So it's like a weird format. I can't see. I
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: can't read it properly.
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: Is this question all spoilers?
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: So I'm going to I'm going to copy it, paste
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: it into a notepad and hopefully we can read this. Sorry,
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: then you will be right back.
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: Hang on, there we go. See what I did. I
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: had a problem and I worked around it. And that's true.
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: So this is why I wound away. This is not
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: why we would not kill each other on a designaland.
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: So Looney says, this is the tagline Simpsons in real life.
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: Growing up with the Simpsons, we can all find similar
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: is within the show and things relating to growing up.
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: Things to relate to growing up. I could not relate
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: more to Bart and Roden pod I was the evil cousin,
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: and my two cousins, Tom and Jake were like the
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: real life Flanders boys. There were weekly calls from their
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: mother to my father complaining about words that I had
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: taught them or things that I had said. I was
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: not an evil or bad kid. They just viewed me
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: as the sinning black sheep. My father even called them
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: Rod and Todd whilst were growing up. I could write
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: endless stories about growing up, but I'll limit it to
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: one of my favorites. When Guitar Hero came out, it
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: was massive, and I remember trying to bring it over
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: and show them the new game and have some fun
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: with it. The second his father heard the band White Zombie,
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: he came rushing into the room and unplugged it. The
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: next time I was over, they told me that they
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: hate Guitar Hero until I noticed it was a Christian
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: based Guitar Hero knockoff, so no rock or metal or sin,
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: only holiness and Jesus. The entire afternoon I was subjected
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: to audio waterboarding with those songs. All respects said, but
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: not my cup of tea. Thank you for all that
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: you guys do and wishing.
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: You the best. I just love it. It's always like
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: religious alternatives. It's like, but this, this feels like the
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: Simpsons could do this. Savior, you have your guitaro, we
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: have our savior. Savior here. It's like the religious songs
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: and what would be on there? Can you take me?
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: That's even too rocky? I think that's too rocky for Flanders.
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: Creed were sort of Christian, weren't they.
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: They were?
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: Ye Striper. Striper was like a Christian metal band, okay
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: in the eighties. Yeah, Stripper Stripper with a Y. Of course,
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: there's a why ye Striper.
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: It's like there's a wrestling team called the Hardy Boys
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: and Z. Everything was Z the Boys Boys.
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: Too, men not a delivery service. I mean, I'm aware
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: of Christian rock, but I can't say any sort of
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: at least to mind at the moment. I think Live
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: were a Christian rock band, weren't they sort of? Yeah,
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: the Dolphins, Crab God. I was into Live for a
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: minute there. I thought they weren't too bad anyway.
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: But yes, so that is a good, good story that
• 59:01
  Speaker 2: I can actually believe happening on The Simpsons.
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that. I didn't know there was religious
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: Christian knockoffs of guitar hero. That's amazing, good story, learnie.
