  Speaker 5: Welcome to four figure discand where this week we had
• 0:56
  Speaker 5: gone all the way back to season two to review
• 0:59
  Speaker 5: an episode that I were discussing off the air is
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: more emotion driven than humor, but as an episode to
• 1:05
  Speaker 5: pay tribute to my lovable dog Jet, who lost a
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: couple of weeks ago. He was a mascot here at
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: four thing a discount, we are, of course reviewing Bart's
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: Dog gets an a F.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Fine bando, and I am guy. You may have seen
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: me on the cover of Steam Steam magazine.
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, lots of teen magazines. Yeah, it took me back
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: to reading magazines. But we'll get into that though. But
• 1:21
  Speaker 5: Bars Dog gets an F Your first thoughts on this episode,
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: because for me, I'm watching this going I wouldn't really
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: call this a funny episode. It's got its funny moments,
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: but I don't think it really needed to be. I
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: think I don't think it really wanted to be a
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: funny episode, this one. I think it was more about
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: the emotional story of a boy and his.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Dog, don't you know. I think some well a family
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: and their dog. Absolutely yeah, true, yeah, yeah, yeah, not
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: really a joke delivery system. This particular episode a nice
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: vein of humor running through, a humor born of frustration,
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: I think, and I think anyone who's ever had a
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: pet can can relate to that frustration, because you know,
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: we all love our four legged friends, or our friends
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: who have wings or gills. You know, we're not just
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: talking about cats and dogs here, but particularly like a
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: cat or dog, we all have wonderful one. You have
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: so many great memories of Jet, I'm sure. Yeah, I'm sure.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: There were occasions when it's like, that's not where you
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: take a piss pal.
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: Or well it was always houseburn, but sometimes you hid
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: fart all the time, which again wasn't his problem. He
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: sure would He couldn't help that, but yeah, he would fight.
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: That was that was the worst thing he did.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: He never chewed anything, He never went to the toilet inside. Yeah,
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: but you can have a pet and you can love
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: a pet with all your heart and soul and still
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: want to be like, I am this close to taken
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: you out to, you know, a deserted place on the
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: highway and tying you up and just leaving you on
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: the side of the road because oh, you have made
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: such a mess, or oh you ate my dinner or
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: something along those lines. So yeah, I think everyone can
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: relate to that. But no matter how frustrated you get
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: with your pets, sometimes there is always that feeling, well,
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: this is love and this is part of the family.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: I cannot and will not hear anything against you.
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we've because they do become an extension of the family.
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: You forget that they're not people, they're they're they're animals. Yeah,
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: and so sometimes they don't quite understand I think they really.
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: When we came to the directing of this episode, showing
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: it from the dog's perspective was very important because this
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: dog wasn't being disobedient by choice. It just had to
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: be rescued. First and foremost. You never had the privilege
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: of being taught anything. The Simpsons family aren't exactly the
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: greatest teachers in the world. There are an erratic wild bunch,
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: so he's living in chaos, so he's going to be
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: a chaotic dog. And I just think that he didn't understand.
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: He was just being himself and seeing it from the
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: dog's perspective. Seeing that he didn't understand what was going on.
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: Great payoff at the end when he actually understands the
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: word sit. But I think it was very important to
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: show this dog isn't being naughty because he wants to
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: be naughty. He just doesn't get it.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you can't blame a dog for being a dog, no,
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: And yeah, I think that's something the episode to really
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: put forward. Of course, you can have obedience training and
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: all that kind of stuff. I think it's often quite
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: necessary to do that kind of thing. I mean, but
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: if you don't want your animal sort of running while
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: if also if you don't want it to be a
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: danger to itself and others, but also be careful how
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: you train, because you know this is a member of
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: your family. Treat it with the love and respect, but also, yeah,
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: and a little bit of discipline as well. Yeah, let's
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: maybe not go to the extent that I'm sorry.
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: What's it, Emily Willthrop.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: I was confused because you've got Emily Wilthrop and Winthrop
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: and Sylvia.
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: Winfield Sorry it's Winthrop, yeah, and Winfield. So Susie Winfield
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: is the neighbor next door saying get your dog out
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: of my pool.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Before I realized, let's talk about some Tracy Ullman stuff.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: Tracy Ellmand voices both of these characters. There's a whole
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: lot of Tracy Ellmand stuff that we're going to go
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: into in this episode. But when I first heard that character, Sylvia,
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: the snooty neighbor, I'm like, why didn't this person become
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: a recurring character. Why don't we get more of this person?
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: Why don't we get the missus deegal of a Springfield
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: that's a gremlin's reference if in case you didn't get it,
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: you know, the snooty next door neighbor's like, I just
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: like your dog. It's ripping up my pras as AliOS
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: or something along those lines. I think that'd be a
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: great adversary for someone like Home or any any member
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: of the Springfield community. And then discover oh, she's voiced
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: by the special guest.
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: And who wasn't invited back. But I think as we'll
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: get into in a few moments, it'll all makes sense
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: as to why she didn't come back.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: That's correct to quote a song. Money changes every day,
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: but I thought Tracy Onmand did a fantastic job voicing
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: both of these characters had a real ball with it.
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: But before we get into our full review here of
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: Butt snug Gets an Fforts, want to throw a shout

• 6:16
  Speaker 5: got a lot in return, so I've got to hear
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: my note. So why bars dog gets in there? And
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: as I mentioned earlier, we recently lost Jet and I
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: felt like this was the episode their best pay tribute
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: to Pumba as we called him, because I think this
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: is the story that's driven more by the raw of
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: motion than the gags, as I was saying, and I
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: think it's important for TV comedies to occasionally have these episodes,
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: particularly sitcoms. This shows the sitcoms simply be animated or not,
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: and you have to have these episodes that we used
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: always refer to the most very special episodes. I wouldn't
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: call this a very special episode, but it's an episode
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: that relies more on the emotion behind the characters, and
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: it just adds layers to these character because in sitcoms,
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: you're going to want to believe in these characters, gonna
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: want to relate to these characters, and these are the
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: episodes that help you relate to the more. I think
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: by this point, but we're still seen as a little
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: Brady kid, but you can't help as a dog lover
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: or just a human being in general watching this episode
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: and not be just taken aback by the emotional ending
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: just before the sadest Little Helper actually does follow the orders.
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: When Bart thinks he's going to lose his best friend,
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: you tear up every time.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: Well, it's one of the most primal things is missing someone.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: For him to say, I'm going to miss you, it's like,
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: holy moly, Yeah, they're not going to be in your
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: life anymore. Yeah, that's very, very saddening and very emotional. Yeah,
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: you're right, and you're correct on what you're saying about. Yeah,
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: a show, particularly yeah, or especially like a sitcom needs
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: episodes like this to sort of deepen your emotional connection
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: to the characters. I mean, of course, with a situation comedy,
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: you're going to get him in the door with the gags.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: This is a family. It's oh, it's dysfunctional. Oh, it's chaotic. Ah,
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: there are in each other's throats just like us. And
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: once you've sort of broken the ice with the audience
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: by creating that bond of like, oh, we're laughing at
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: them and with them, that's when you can pull a
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: little bit of an emotional sucker punch and go, well,
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: guess what, you know, you're laughing at these folks. But
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: you know a lot of a lot of the shit
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: they're going through, you've probably gone through it as well,
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: or you will go through it. You walk away from
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: an episode like bats against and f going yeah, as
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: we said, we laugh about it, but yeah, they're just
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: like me. And you enjoyed the show more as a result,
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: and I think you enjoyed the humor a bit more
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: as a result as well.
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: You mentioned the line before, I'm going to miss your boy.
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: I thought we'd be friends forever. So I'm watching this
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: last night. Kids are at my parents' places on a Tuesday,
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: Nicholas in bed. She's going a bit early. She starts
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: work early in Melbourne, so I'm sitting there by myself.
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: Normally that's where Jet would be with me. And it
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: was that scene, I think in particular, where I'm going
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: to like it just like it hit me and I
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: start like Sally crying. It was almost like this episode helped.
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: It's like, it's weird how we come to terms with
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: my grief of losing Jet. It's try trying to cry it.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: Oh man, fuck all right, Bud. It was hard. It
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: is hard, man. I mean, yeah, you pour a lot
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: of your heart and your soul into your pets. Man.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: I mean, and they're there for you. I mean they
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: give you unconditional love, which is a rare and wonderful
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: thing to have in this life. There are many many
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: times in my I mean, I'm not a dog guy,
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: as you know, I'm a cat man. I've been very
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: fortunate in my adult life over the last couple of
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: decades to have the wonderful Jackson the cat. He was fantastic,
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: the beautiful Charlie girl. And now I've got Basie, the
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: black cat. Basie, God love him, friendly dude, a lot
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: of personality, dumb as a fucking stump. Where where'd you
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: get him from? My lovely friends Mark and Nats. When
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: Charlie passed away and I was singleer these days like go,
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: I need someone in the house. They I cannot be
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: in that house by himself. Things will fall apart. They
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: had a friend with a farm. The farm had a cat.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: The cat had kittens, and yeah, one day they rocked
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: her and they well, first of all, they gaged by
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: andres said we to be interested in another cat. I said,
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: of course, I love cats. I came over with this little, tiny,
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: little black furry number popped him in my lap, and
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: he's been there for the last seven or eight years. Yeah, yeah,
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: but as I said, complete dummy. And there are times
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: when I will get incredibly frustrated him and sort of
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: don't be under my feet. It's not that hard. Say
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: thank you for your food. Don't jump up on the
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: bench and eat that chicken that I turned my back
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: by five seconds and you're ready the chicken that I've
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: gotta got instantly, Instantly, it will be like, oh man,
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: you're a cat dad, don't don't be yelling at your
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: furry son. And yeah. An internet friend of mine recently
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: wrote a lovely tribute to he had a tough run.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: He had two cats pass away in like the space
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: of Fortnite. They've got a few cats in the house.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: He wrote a lovely tribute to it. But one of
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: the lines that really stuck out me is like, I
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: hope we did right by you. And that's it's incredible
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: responsibility you take on. I mean, we talk about pen
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: ownership like it's you've got a dog, you got a cat, whatever.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: It's a big responsibility and it does a lot of
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: things for you and your family. So you know, it's
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: not just thrown out a handful of kibble and you know,
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: trying to shit on the rug like, I don't know, man,
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: It's it's a tough one for Jet.
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: He was so unwell for the last like twelve months.
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: I felt like my whole life evolved around keeping him
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: alive almost and I live with just his anxiety. If
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: every time i'd leave the house, I'd almost I'd have
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: this fear of opening the front door and hit because
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: you have seizure sometimes, and luckily I was around most
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: of the time to prevent them from happening. But I
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: had this fear of coming home to him being dead.
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: Esficially right, so it was the right time he was
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: just he'd had enough. But I almost feel it's guilt
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: because now I feel somewhat free, and it feels weird
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: because I miss him, but it's good for me emotionally.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: That he's not here. No, No, that makes a lot
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: of sense, it really does. I mean, of course you're
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: going to feel some degree of guilt or feeling like
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: a sense of relief. It doesn't diminish the life that
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: your had for him, of course it doesn't. But yeah,
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: you just have to learn how to sort of reframe
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: that and they're like, well, yeah, now they're at rest.
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah, because I just try and be strong for the kids,
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: particularly Alien. It's hit him, mab, so you're just watching
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: this that of sort of just tear it up. And
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: I just went, ah, I think it's time that I
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: can now agrieve.
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: Sure, yeah, absolutely, have you thought about getting another animal?
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: Well sometimes patrons asked about this and not like the
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: idea is it came straight into my mind, But I went,
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: I don't think it's the right time yet. I don't
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: want to make a I don't want to jump into
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: it and go, oh, now I've got responsibility again. I
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: think I'm just gonna have to enjoy being able to
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: just I said to Nicola. We drove and picked up Jet.
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: Hey got cremated here with us on the table, still
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: in his box, but we got him. We picked up
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: from Bendy Go. So well, for the first time, we're
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: able to get in the car and say where do
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: you want to go? Kids, And we'll come back whenever
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: we feel like it. Yeah, because we always had to
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: come back for Jet because we couldn't. He used to
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: fret if we would leave for too long. He fret
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: with the kids weren't here, so we got be able
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: to do anything. So I think I said to Nicola.
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: Kids keep saying we get a kit and can we
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: get another dog? And I'm like, we will eventually. Right now,
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: Mom and Dad just need to enjoy being able to
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: just go in and create memories and adventures of course.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I think the other important thing to recognize
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: don't think anyone who has had a pet will understand
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: this is and particularly you know, if you've got a family,
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: if you've got kids, introducing a pet in the family,
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: it's a great sort of lesson about responsibility and a
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: great lesson about life and death as well. Yeah, I mean,
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: it's of course it's sad for Elliott and Holly that
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: their beloved dog is gone, but it's also an understanding.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: It's like, well, life's a finite thing, man, you know,
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: And this is not to diminish the love that everyone
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: had for Jet or any pet that anyone has, but
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: they also provide a lesson in that regard as like
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: it's almost like a test run for when someone human
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: life passes away, if you know what I mean.
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm glad Elliott was old enough and Holly was
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: old enough as well, just but she didn't quite know
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: what was going on, because I think once he was gone,
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: I don't think she quite realized, oh, he's not coming
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: back where Alliott?
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: It hit him hard. Yes, yeah, but I'm glad.
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: It's old enough to sort of understand it, because we
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: could explain it to him, we could prepare him for it,
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: because I think being younger and all of a sudden
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: your dog's gone, you're not really understanding why that would
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: be harder to well.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: Sure. Growing up, when I was a kid, we had
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: a couple of beagles, and I think one got to
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: a very ripe old age. But also you know, by
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: the end, as you said with Jed, you've lost a
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: few steps, and you know it's hard for you to
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: do everything like that. I remember just spending like an
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: afternoon after school in the garage with Bonnie the beagle,
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: lying in her box, finally hard to breathe, and I
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: don't know, it was a real bracing sort of lesson
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: in it's coming, Oh it's coming. Yeah, And I felt
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: this incredible complex surge of emotions, which it was tough
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: to deal with at the time, but I think was
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: a valuable in a lot of ways. So yeah, look,
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: it's a cliche when someone has gone. It is like,
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: you know, don't be said that they're gone. To be
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: happy that they lived. They taught you a lot and
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: they gave you a lot. Yeah, and it's okay to
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: be sad. Oh yeah, of course it is.
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: I kept saying to Aliot, if you want to cry, cry,
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: it's not gonna be embarrassed by crying, Like, it's okay, and.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: You've got a burkely good reason to do so bad. Yeah.
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: And when he was at school, apparently he got upset
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: and his friends were like, no, it's okay because you've
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: got like embarrassed. He was crying from of his friends,
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: but his friends, but no, no, no, it's okay.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: That's good.
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: That's great that his friends were supportive like that.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: But yeah, as a dog out to particularly someone who
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: just lost their dog, I thought this this episode particular,
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: was a real emotional rollercoaster. He went from its like
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: there was anger with the Emily Winthrop episode character, there
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: was sadness, there was happiness, there was so much to
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: go through, just a real role coaster. On thoughts episode,
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: I thought John Vidde did a fantastic job of really
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: intertwining the two stories as well, because I'm both emotion driven.
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: But the use of in particular of the prop of
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: the quilt. I thought he the quilt played a key
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: role in both stories, but in an organic way that
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: felt natural. Took him back, because Seinfeld, there's no for
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: trying to intertwine all the stories. It seems it does
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: it as well most sitcoms do it, but I thought
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: it just felt so natural in this one here.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a better example of that kind of thing,
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: because it seems like from the beginning that it's open
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: season on just about anything in the Simpson household. Nothing
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: is safe. You know, you get a little frustrated, like, ah, man,
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: I wanted to read the paper and now it's got
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: dog's lobber all over it all. You know half what
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: does he say? I think the first lightest, not the
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: sports section. Yeah, you get frustrated. Oh yeah, your breakfast
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: gets eaten off the off the kitchen table or whatever.
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: It's like, ah, god, damn it. But you know, you
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: can just easily pick up an egg McMuffin on the
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: way to work. But I loved how they sort of
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: ramped it up over the course of the episode. Home
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: has forked out a lot of money for these assassins,
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: and they immediately get chewed to bits. But yeah, the
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: whole thing with the with the quilt, Yeah, and how
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: much it's a part of Marge's family history and how
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: she hopes it's going to be a tradition moving forward
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: on that. It's like, oh no, this is a Chekhov's quilt.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: You're introducing the first Dad is going to get fucked
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: up in the third, maybe even in the second act.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: But I must admit when when it happened, I mean,
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: it's like, ah, God, damn it, sanders all out. But
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: because you know, we pour so much of ourselves into stuff,
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: don't we, And yeah, physical objects, but I don't just
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: mean like stuff like that. I'm also mean our animals
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: as well. I mean, of course they they love us, man,
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: because we feed them. But you have to have something
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: that you've poured so much of your emotion into to
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: have it torn apart. It really does set up a
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: bit of dramatic tension, doesn't it. Okay, yeah, look a
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: dog as a member of the family, but it's also
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: a dog. And if it's going to be just doing
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: this all the time, what kind of bleed on effect
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: is that going to have? Is this going to create
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: tension in the household? Is it? You know we're going
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: to be snapping in each other because of you know? Yeah.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: So yeah, it's a funny episode in a lot of ways.
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: As we said, not really joke driven everything like that.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: The humor emerges more from the situations and the frustration
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: they're feeling. It's also got a lot of emotions, also
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: kind of got genuine dramatic stakes in a lot of ways.
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: Well, I wanted to touch on that because when you
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: watch this as a kid, you kind of get annoyed
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: that Homer and Marge are willing to give sat this
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: a little helpful away.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: You think, how can you do? This is your dog?
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: But as you're mentioning, they're the emotional connection and the
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: history of this quilt. I think it's fully justified that
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: at this point margin Homer, this dog clearly needs a
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: different house. It can't be here anymore. It's obviously bored,
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: it's not happy, it's why is it doing these things?
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: He obviously loves Bart, but he can't have this shit
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: constantly getting destroyed. So I think having the quilk get
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: destroyed was the a perfect explanation of justification for Marjin
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: h it wanted to get rid of it. Also, it
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: raises the stakes of the episode as a viewer, because
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: you're watching this going as a normal Simpsons episode.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: If they didn't put.
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: The ad in the paper and have the potential new
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: bio or new owner come and see him, then as
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: a viewer you're probably going they're not really going to
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: give him away. But as Homer says, we've got to commit.
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: So having that guy come and Homer saying you picked
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: up tomorrow, as a view you're going, oh fuck, oh,
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: they're actually going through. Oh no, they're going to actually
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: do this. What's art going to do here? Of course
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: we get them Regulus miracle at the end, which is
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: kind of whatever, but it was a very a very
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: nice moment of anything. But I just think having adding
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: that extra layer of having the owner, the new owner
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: come and into the into the picture. As a view
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: you're watching his going oh no, this is serious. They're
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: going to actually get rid of this dog.
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And to make that potential new owner not necessarily
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: a villain, but someone who's not going to be like,
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: oh you lovely new dog. I'm going to be pampering
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: with It's like, no, there's dog's got to be pulling
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: a fucking plows. Yeah, it's like, oh damn, not exactly
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: the life that you're hopeful for, sounds little helper. Yeah,
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: the court is very very important. The cult is kind
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: of key to this episode. If it had just been
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: this dog ripped up my dope new sneakers.
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it can't. It can't be anything. Just can't be
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: just a thing that he bought. Has to be something
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: that means something in history. With the quilt there, it's
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: something you can't get back because you can. You can
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: go buy another pair of assassins, you can go buy
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: another cookie.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: In I mean no you can't. But you can't.
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: Well you can, we're gonna get that touch on that
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: in a few moments, but you can't. You can't get
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: back that quilt. So four figure discount is brought to

• 20:46
  Speaker 5: And I think watching this episode as a kid and
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: watching it as an adult, particularly as a parent of
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: a child who has a dog, well had a dog,
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: you should say you watched it for a two different perspective.
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: So as I was saying, I always really got annoyed
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: when Marginhommer did what they were doing, But you're watching
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: this going it's fully justified, and I don't think I'm
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: rewatching now. You never get the sense that Marge and
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: Homer want to get rid of him. Oh no, they
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: don't want to do it, but they feel like it
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: just has to be done, like they're gonna have to
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: be the bad guys because this can't continue. Even Homer
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: when he says pick him up tomorrow, it doesn't sound
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: like he wants to do it. Yeah, because at the
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: end of the day, he's the family dog. He's not
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: just Bart's dog. And even Lisa has her moments here
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: where she defends him at the end, and she has
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: the big spiel and which we'll touch on as well,
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: But I don't feel like Lisa did that spiel to
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: prevent them from getting rid of centers to help straight
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: away and give him the chance to pass school first,
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: because she necessarily wanted a kicking for her She could
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: see how much it meant to Bart. Yeah, absolutely, and
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: she knew that Bart wasn't going to be able to
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: say in a way that was going to get through
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: to Homer and Marge to convince them. He wasn't gonna
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: be convincing enough, so she used her intellect, I guess
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: you could say, to say, look, this is why we
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: need to keep and just give him one more chance.
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: And she won margin Homer over Bart as well, which
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: I think was a really nice mo because even at
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: the end she says she go play with him, go
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: fuck with him, don't do whatever. She throws the ball,
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: he doesn't do chase it. She sort of mumbles and
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: walks off us like she loves the dog. But this
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: is this is Bart's best friend.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, And I think something else to point out is
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: that I get the feeling that the family would probably
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: tolerate Sanders Leelper's kind of indiscretions and misdemeanors if they
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: were relatively low steaks or low scale sitting on the
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: floor or something, oh, ripping up the paper or occasionally
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: pinching a sausage off off your breakfast plate or whatever.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: It's like, dog's gonna dog.
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: But I do think he was particularly more dog than
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: normal in this one. He just think he got I
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: understand that they needed for the story, but it felt like, Oh,
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: he's all of a sudden a really naughty dog.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's really misbehaved.
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: He's never really been he's been an idiot dog. He's
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: never really been a mischievous dogh man.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: That's what. Yeah, for the second, the story that it
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: worked occasionally got to tweak a few knobs for the sake. Yeah, story.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: But let's touch on.
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: We were mentioning earlier Tracy ol when she plays this
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: Windfield as well as Emily Winthrop. So, Emily Willinthrop, I've
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: just got here.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: She is a terrible human being. Well, yeah, this is
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: gonna hit close to the bone for you. I think
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: this particular stage of the proceedings. Yeah, I mean, you're
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: missing your pal, and anyone in mistreats a dog is
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: going to be.
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: Like, especially someone who's supposed to be helping. But it's
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: just that cruel to be kind mentality, which I compared
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: it to. We didn't have for Holly but for Elliott
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: because we were just new parents. We didn't really know
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: what we're doing. Nikola wanted to hire a sleep nanny, right,
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: and a sleep nanny was the He was in the
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: cotton now room and she goes, let him cry, stand
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: outside the door, let him cry for three minutes, and
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: then go in, just tap him on the back so
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: he stops crying, and then walk out again and wait
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: for another three minutes. And I remember I tried that.
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: I'm sitting there and he's crying. He's crying, and I'm going,
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: you know what, this probably does work, but it's not how.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: I wanted to do. It doesn't work for you.
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so I'm saying, you probably get results with this,
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: but I'm not a robot, and I can't just stand
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: here because this is having like I see, it was
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: bothering Nick And I said, this is going to leave
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: emotional scarring on me that I feel guilt for. And
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: I don't like this. And we found something that worked
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: for us. So what she's doing here with the choke chain. Whatever,
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: I despise it, I don't agree with it. It probably
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: gets results, but there are other ways.
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: Sure, yeah, absolutely.
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: But if you just want to get you know, if
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: you I'm not saying that you're a bad dog owner
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: or you know you're a bad parent, but if you
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: are able to switch off and put emotions aside, then
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: you can get results quicker. But sometimes the emotional scar
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: that they can leave not for not necessarily everybody gets
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: emotionally scar work. But I knew, I knew me personally,
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: I would live with guilt forever if I'd have sat
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: there listening to him cry it out.
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: Of course, No that we horses for courses, man, I
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: mean everyone's got their own way of doing things. And yeah,
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: I think there's certainly the tide is turning when it
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: comes to dog training or animal training. I think you
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: used to have a lot of like I'll slap some
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: sense of them, or you know, use the choke chain
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: or anything like that. Sure, there are some people who
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: probably still do that, and as you said, it probably
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: does get results. It speeds up the process a little
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: bit more. But yeah, I think you have more people
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: are coming around to your way of thinking in terms
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: of like, is it really worth it for how I'm
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: gonna feel, how the animal's gonna feel. We'll just we'll
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: take the scenic route to get there.
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, a bit of an adventure.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: A bit, it's an adventure, it certainly is.
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: Before we dove fully into Emily Winthrop's let's discuss as
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: Tracy Olman's connection to the show in general. So we've
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: all heard the Tracy Almond shorts. That's where the Simpsons started.
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: There were little shorts that appeared on the Tracy Olman Show,
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: a sketch comedy.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: Show, sketch comedy show in the late.
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: Eighty seven, I believes on the Simpsons debut on the
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: show anyway.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: Produced by James L. Brooks. Was it really yeah? Yeah?
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: Oh I did not realize that. So that was the
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: connection to the Simpsons. Okay, I believe, So let me
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: just triple check that.
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: Sorry, man, I know.
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: That we're Tracy Ulman Show. But so yeah, but all
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: those shorts, they've never been officially released. I'm sure me
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: there's some sort of copyright there, but they do appear
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: on YouTube, and one day you're not gonna sit down
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: and we're going to review those for our Patriot, Okay,
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: because I've actually ever sat down watched them all either.
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: I've seen maybe League five, and I think there's about
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: fifty of them. So we'll sit down and we'll review
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: those one day. Sure, happy to do so because they
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: look horrific. But you know, you gotta. But that's just
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: you know, they that's the start of the Simpsons. It's
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: part of history.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: Oh, very much. So, yeah, I mean, yeah, Tracy Ollman's
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: an interesting kind of phenomenon. Really. I mean, I remember,
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: I have no memories of her at all. We spent
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: a bit of time in England when I was growing up,
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: particularly around the eighties. My sister was living over there.
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: We would go over and visit her occasionally. And Tracy
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: Ollmen was very very big in sketch comedy on British TV.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: One show in particularly was called Three of a Kind.
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: It was her, the comedian Lenny Henry and someone else.
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: But yeah, it was clear that Tracy Olmen was kind
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: of like the breakout star of that, someone who was
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: very very versatile, had great charm. You're familiar with Saturday Live,
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: of course, and Gilda Radner didn't. Yeah, yeah, very much
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: like an English version of Gilda Radner had sort of
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: an impish charm, instant likability and also just multi talented.
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: So and people clearly recognize this. On the other side
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: of the pond, James or Brooks recognized this and basically
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: fashioned this show around her on the up and coming
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: or just recently introduced Fox Network. So and you know,
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: she was acting alongside the likes of Meryl Streep as well.
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, people just recognized, oh, this is someone who's
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: incredibly talented and not necessarily can do just about anything,
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: but it's up for it just about anything and adds
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: something to everything. So and yeah, but I think they realized, oh,
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: we've got to add things to the Tracy Ormand show.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: It's you know, she'll do her thing, She'll do her
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: thing with her cast. Dan See was a member of
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: the cast, Julie and Julie Canner. Yeah. Yeah, so Brooks
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: has clearly got his sort of talent pool. But they're like, oh,
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: we need things to break it up a little bit.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: And that's where the Simpson shorts come in, which was
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: a pretty out there concept really when you think about it. Well, yeah,
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: but it seemed like Fox was kind of throwing everything
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: at the wall. See what works. Yeah, I mean ABC,
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: NBC and CBS. The three existing networks had their own
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: voices and their own tones of the kind of shows
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: that they made, but they were all doing pretty much
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: their own thing. And I think Fox recognized we're gonna
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: have to shake things up a little bit and try
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: a few different things and see what works. Not everything did,
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: but a lot of things did. And toilet humor no
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: big what we're still talking about it this day. Yeah.
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, one show that I have to revisit because I
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: was not allowed to watch it as a kid.
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: Married with children.
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: When I saw it as a teenager, I went, this
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: is fun. But I kind of see it as almost
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: like the live action version of like a Family Guy,
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: where I can probably enjoy it in small dat. I
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: don't think you can binge married with children.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: No, I don't think so.
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: It seems like you're weekly dose of just crude toilet
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: jokes from the crowd, just your dose of but also
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: put together with some skill with fantastic with very talented
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: people like Caesh.
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: Absolutely. Yeah. So.
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: According to Ken Eston, the co creator of the Tracy
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: Ullman Show, Tracy was not fond of any of the
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: bumpers because of the Simpson shots because she didn't think
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: that there were any quality or the quality for her show.
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: They think why they looked they didn't look good enough
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: in nineteen ninety one. I'm assuming after this episode aired,
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: because they would have recorded this in nineteen nineteen, would
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: air in March of ninety one. But in ninety one,
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: she filed a lawsuit against twentieth Century Fox, claiming that
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: she was owed some of the profits from Simpsons merchandise,
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: which her lawyers valued at about two point five million dollars,
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: which inflation is abound five point seven million today.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: Tiny sum.
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, quite a bit of money. Yeah, I'm like, look,
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: that's a lot. But in the grand scheme of things,
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: the money that Simpsons would have been making twentieth Century Fox,
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: I don't think it was that much money.
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: Oh no, I think it's kind of chump change.
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it sounds like a lot. But her case was
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: based on the fact that she did actually sign a
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: contract reportedly mere hours before she recorded the first episode
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: of The Tracy Ulman Show that entitled her to five
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: to ten percent of the net receipts of the merchandising
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: and other profits from products or programs based on spin
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: off characters, including animated characters, even if those characters were
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: originated by others. So you read that contract and to go, well,
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: how does she not win? She is one entitled to
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: some money?
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: How does this not work? And my only explanation could
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: be that maybe Fox just could have for better lawyers.
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: Quite possibly, Yeah, I mean, you do have Murdoch money
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: behind you, and they tend to have their sharks.
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: So yeah, because if I had a contract and it
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: said those words, I would go, I think I'm in
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: the right here.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: How could I not get money here?
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: I think even if she doesn't get five million, she's
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: entitled to something, you would think.
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean the Simpsons became the Simpsons because
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: of the Simpsons. Not necessary, I mean, but it had
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: its launch pad on the Tracy Ullman Show.
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: And she wasn't the only person that decided that, but
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: she I'm pretty sure in her position she could have
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: gone no, I would haven't bumpers if she wanted to,
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: really wanted to put her foot down because it's her
• 31:03
  Speaker 5: name on the shee. You can't have the Tracy Aulber
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: Show without Tracy Oulmen correct. Yeah, So I think she
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: deserved something and they invited you for this for this episode,
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: and it's a show that the lawsuit happened and she
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: lost and whatnot, Because it would have been nice to
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: get more miss win firstess. And I think the would
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: have been a fun dynamic there, even though it would
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: have kind of felt kind of cliche. But The Simpsons
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: is just based on stereotypes and cliches.
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: Isn't it.
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, absolutely, yeah, good missus Degle.
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: That could have worked. Oh yeah, just the snooty person
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: in the neighborhood. I mean, I'm sure the Simpsons has that,
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: but yeah, like I love.
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: Joy is kind of snooty, but she's not this kind
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: of neighbor missus Degal snoody.
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you need someone who's just an upper echelone of
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: wealth and just wants to lord it over you. Thinks
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: it makes them a better person as the result.
• 31:45
  Speaker 5: Stop riding your skateboard on the sidewalk, Yes, and get
• 31:48
  Speaker 5: off my property kind of thing.
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: Very much. I get off my lown kind of person. Yeah,
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: let's not too bad for Tracy Uelman. According to Wikipedia,
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: which as we know, never lies, Tracy woman, Tracy Oulman
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: has a net worth of something like eighty million pound. Yeah,
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: she's Okay, she's just all right, she's doing okay for herself. Yeah,
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: And I did read some things where it says she's
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: not bitter anymore, and I thought, oh, that's good for her.
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: Then you told me that, and I went, oh, into
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: what if I had that amount of money, I would
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: not be bitter, I'd be sweet.
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: And I was watching some special study recently and it
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: was one where she was doing like a flashback to
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: the Tracy Ulman Show. And you've got the Tracy or
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: you have the Tracy Ulman Show wiki page open there.
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: I'm a huge fan of the logo. Just scroll down,
• 32:29
  Speaker 5: see if you can see it. Oh yeah, Tracy yemen
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: Show logo. It just epitomizes nineteen late nine eighties, early
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: nineteen nineties.
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that logo.
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: It's just an awesome logo.
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: It's really good. Folks. If you want like thirty seconds
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: of just boost, go to YouTube look up opening credits
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: of Tracy Yulman Show. Because okay, it's got a great
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: theme song as well, has it really? Oh yeah, put
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: it on now. Yeah, I'll put it on right now.
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: But again very late and late eighties energy. But it
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: also feels like the pro to a Network's like, we're here,
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: pay attention to us, but not in a in a
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: kind of they're kind of way. It's more like, hey,
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: this is funky and fun That's what the Simpsons was.
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: Funky fresh.
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, funky, and the Simpsons was certainly fresh, particularly with
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: the colors and whatnot, which is why Matt made them yellow.
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: So when you're flicking through, well that's different. Yeah, that's
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: you're right, yes, But hers Emily Winthrop, I thought the
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: perfect villain this episode needed, and a great villain.
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: I don't think it's.
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: Talked about enough on The Simpsons because she is so unlikable.
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: She's all cold, results driven process. Yeah, and reminded me
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: of the Sleep Netty. She was very just to the
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: point matter of fact that I went, how are you?
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: Are you a robot? That person will probably say my
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: results speak for themselves exactly right, and may were justify
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: by saying I've got a lot of parents who were
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: sleeping through the night. You know because of this, I've
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: probably saved a lot of marriages. Yeah, and you know, uh,
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: this Emily character probably feels the same way. It's like,
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: you're going to have a bit of discomfort here, You're
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: going to have some hurt feelings or whatever, but your
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: dog is going to behave and you.
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: As soon as he said that.
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: You and everyone are going to be happier as a result.
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: As soon as you said that, I just thought, I
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: got hurt feelings whatever, some of those hurt feelings that
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: doesn't comes straight right into my head every time. Do
• 34:19
  Speaker 5: you have those moments where someone says a line and
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: you instantly think of like a film quote or a
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: song or something.
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: The thing that always strikes me when I allude to
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: hurt feelings, it's a terrific Robert Denara actually movie called Ronan.
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you've ever heard of it, but
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: I don't know of it. Yeah. Yeah, he's part of
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: this criminal team that's pulling a heist. The one of
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: the other members of the team says, oh, did you
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: ever kill anybody? And DeNiro says, no, I hurt somebody's
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: feelings once in twenty twenty five. That makes him history's
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: greatest monster, that he's hurting someone's feelings. But it's a
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: line that I was like, it's just a great badass.
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: Lind was like, that's somebody's feelings once.
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, for me, sometimes Nicolall say what do you think
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: about that? And I always go, now you know how?
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: But yeah, Emily fantastic here and her delivery Tracey's of
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: pull the bloody chain boy that haunts nineties kids, because
• 35:18
  Speaker 5: watching that as a kid, you felt so bad, not
• 35:22
  Speaker 5: just for the dog, but for Bart, because Bart was
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: a child in a situation he had to follow instructions.
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: He didn't want to be hurting his dogs. As soon
• 35:29
  Speaker 5: as he chokes him, he apologizing you just you feel
• 35:32
  Speaker 5: so sad.
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: Sanders will help her, going, Wait a minute, why is
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: why is my own Why is my friend hurting me? Yeah?
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: Why is my friend hurting me?
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: Because he doesn't get it. I'm gonna say he's not
• 35:43
  Speaker 5: being naughty. He just doesn't understand why he's a dog.
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: Yes, he is a dog. He is a dog indeed.
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: But yeah, and just yeah, I thought missus midfas we
• 35:52
  Speaker 5: said we would be a great cater, but she's just
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: so despicable who seemed to thrive on the misery. But
• 35:56
  Speaker 5: as we're saying, she is results driven and she is
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: successful for a reason.
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I'm sure You've had other characters in
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: the Simpsons or in animated shows, all shows in general,
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: who they're really stealing steer into the heel turn with
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: this kind of thing. They'll be someone who's like, you
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: know what, I'm training this animal to be obedient, but
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: I'm also really enjoying inflicting pain or inflicting discipline on them.
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: There's no miniacal laugh or anything. No, no, no, she's
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: just like, you know, cold clinical British. Donat does this
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: remager anyone apparently quite inspired by she was a TV
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: trainer so much, but a woman named Barbara Woodhouse.
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: And also apparently the mannerisms of Margaret Thatcher.
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, Oh yeah, I can see a bit
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: of Maggie in there as well. But Barbara Woodhouse had
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: a catchphrase, walkers when you were taking Yeah, I can
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: imagine heavily saying that. Yeah. She became a bit of
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: a cult figure because of that. You know, when it
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: was ready to take the dog for a walk, walkers.
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: You're people of a certain generation who, whenever they're taking
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: out the dog for a walk, will say that. It
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: was very ingrained into the end of the collective consciousness.
• 37:07
  Speaker 5: Although I was kind of confused at the end when
• 37:10
  Speaker 5: he successfully does it and she says, son of a bitch,
• 37:13
  Speaker 5: I want to talk about it for a couple of reasons.
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: The first reason being why she disappointed that he's successful.
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: It was like she was She's not, She's not at all. Well,
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: first of all, is the obvious thing about you know,
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: a dog is a son of a bitch? Obviously, Yes,
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: But how many times in how many sort of action
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: movies or any movies have you had someone sort of
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: happily calls him son of a bitch?
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: See, I've always taken it the complete opposite way, is
• 37:39
  Speaker 5: it to say, well, you son of a bitch?
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: No?
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: No, Often there's a bit of sort of grudging like
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: it's like, oh, you're magnificent bastard. I mean, now I
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: know what you're saying completely. Yeah, I've never taken it
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: in that way because I've always disliked her. I just
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: assumed the worst. Yeah, but it strikes me as Yeah,
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: you'll often hear it's like or say, someone's got one
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: over on you, but they've done it in such a
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: smart way that you're kind of like, sort of a bitch.
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's a Dutch and Dylan don't hate each other.
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: They're just kind of like bros who are also kind
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: of rivals.
• 38:13
  Speaker 5: Well, it's like in the Jordan documentary Hum and Larry Bird.
• 38:16
  Speaker 5: So when someone's like like I hate you or something, Yeah,
• 38:22
  Speaker 5: oh you you've pulled off.
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: This magnificent coln. You've taken a bunch of money that, yeah,
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: I can probably afford to lose. But still I don't
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: like losing. Still I go to a Mary Effort son
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: of a Bitch? Yeah, okay, what changes? That changes the
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: tone at the end. They've always just been confused, why
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: does she Why was she disappointed? But no, no, it's
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: she's amazing. But it's a little bit of a rud
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: pull as well as like, oh you think she's disappointed?
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: But yeah, But like many great jokes, works on multiple levels,
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: gives these guys a bit of an escape patch to say,
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: son of a bitch on an animated family comedy.
• 38:54
  Speaker 5: Which that's the other aspect of what to talk about.
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: I remember this.
• 38:56
  Speaker 5: I think it's the first time we hear the word
• 38:58
  Speaker 5: bitch because I think where's the out splash more episode?
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: Because he because.
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: When Butt's going down after this, isn't it? Well?
• 39:04
  Speaker 5: Season two is because when Butt's going maybe it's before
• 39:07
  Speaker 5: this thing. Because when Marge paints mister Burns because it's
• 39:11
  Speaker 5: when he's going down to Slagh says bitch and oh,
• 39:13
  Speaker 5: but I think son of a bitch is it comes
• 39:16
  Speaker 5: across harsh. Oh that's more of a bitch and is
• 39:18
  Speaker 5: always like, oh, he's just a kid being a kid.
• 39:19
  Speaker 5: But son of a bitch is like, oh, some of a.
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: Bitch is designed primarily is an insult the bitch.
• 39:26
  Speaker 5: Like I think most nineties kids have a memory of
• 39:29
  Speaker 5: at least one of the adults in their life being
• 39:31
  Speaker 5: bothered by hearing this woman say son of a bitch,
• 39:33
  Speaker 5: because you just don't expect to hear it on the Simpsons. Well, yeah,
• 39:36
  Speaker 5: but then that's when you pull the bar and you say,
• 39:37
  Speaker 5: but a bitch is female dog mom, So is that
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: is that technically there out? Then I guess that's their out,
• 39:43
  Speaker 5: that's their escape patch. Yeah, she's a dog trainer and
• 39:45
  Speaker 5: she's using a term about dog because bitch is one
• 39:48
  Speaker 5: of those words where it's only a curse word depending
• 39:51
  Speaker 5: on how it's used.
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, absolutely, Yeah.
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: So the kids are watching sound Lock Kids at the moment,
• 39:55
  Speaker 5: and he says bitch a couple of times, and like
• 39:57
  Speaker 5: he said, they all call f words. He's net work right,
• 40:01
  Speaker 5: And he also they say shit a couple of times,
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: and Elliot every time that's look at me, hey to say,
• 40:06
  Speaker 5: and he's like, let's listen to it. It's almost like
• 40:08
  Speaker 5: it's a it's okay. It's when you get to high
• 40:11
  Speaker 5: school and your teacher uses the word shit or something
• 40:13
  Speaker 5: and you go, oh.
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: Oh, we can use these but growing up, no, that's
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: just some insecure teacher. How do I relate? How do
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: I be cool kids? How do I reach these kids?
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: They drop a sword. I've spoken many times about watching
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: movies with Bob and Margaret, and I'm just them being
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: we don't care his kids, Let's just fill this kid's
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: brain with whatever. But you know, it's like when you're
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: watching a movie with your parents and all of a sudden,
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: like an unexpected sex scene comes on or something like, oh,
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: this is unpleasant for everybody. There was a Booby's look.
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: I remember one time though, I was I'm pretty sure
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: Bob and Margaret were not paying attention, but I was
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: watching Commando. Okay, that's the anold schwartzon in the movie.
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: And yeah, I don't think we were so much upset
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: by the violence. But there's a bit where one of
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: the henchmen is trying to come on to the female
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: lead and she's not having any of it, and he
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: sort of looks at her and said, forgive the foul
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: language here folks writing a movie. He looks and said,
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: you fucking whore, and then just sort of walks off.
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: And I was kind of like, oh, my ears a
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: bread because I'm the one who rented this and said
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: watch command. And you know, meanwhile they're dropping some pretty
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: harsh turns. And here Dad didn't look up from the
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: racing guide. Mom's like witch down, got a wine. Mum's
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: like she's pulling the bobby and saying I had no son.
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: But yeah, that's that can be a little of pudding
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: when you have that occasion when you when do you
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: watch it with your parents in the room? Yeah? Yeah,
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: absolutely yeah.
• 41:48
  Speaker 5: Now we mentioned earlier, but the Lisa and Marge story,
• 41:52
  Speaker 5: I just think it was al sort just a nice
• 41:53
  Speaker 5: bonding story for them too as well. Like we had,
• 41:55
  Speaker 5: the quill was a well used prop in this story
• 41:57
  Speaker 5: for both stories, as we mentioned, But I just see
• 42:00
  Speaker 5: it was nice seeing Lisa and Marge bond over being
• 42:03
  Speaker 5: female Simpsons bvier. I guess yeah, because we don't really
• 42:07
  Speaker 5: see Marge's BVS side, it's always March Simpson, so seeing
• 42:11
  Speaker 5: her get to celebrate her family's history I thought was nice.
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah. And also that thing, I mean, you have
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: it every once in a while when someone just pulls,
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: like a a cool thing that shows their talented or
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: skilled in an area. I mean for March's to nonchalantly
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: just flip up the needle threaded in mid air, it's
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: kind of like, oh, you know, I'm good at this.
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: I'm good at this. Yeah. It's an instant kind.
• 42:37
  Speaker 5: Of believe me sewing and being able to so it
• 42:40
  Speaker 5: is a talent that I wish I could have made.
• 42:42
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, absolutely, i'snbelievable. Yeah yeah, look at Pi's a
• 42:45
  Speaker 5: button off my button for one Nichols, I'll fix the foy.
• 42:47
  Speaker 5: I'm like, that's God's work.
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: I should be able to do. Yeah. Oh yeah. There
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: are so many things that I would tell young guy
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: if I could turn back the clock, say four decades,
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: go back and say fifteen year old guy. First of all,
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: by applestock. But yeah, also learn how to sew. It's
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: not that hard. Just put in the just put in
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: the hours, you know, while you're watching TV, get a
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: piece of cloth, get a needle and thread and just
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: learn how to do it. Learn how to do it,
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: learn how to do it, get some muscle memory. But yeah,
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: something like that. Absolutely. But yeah, it's just a nice
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: real shorthand gesture of because Lisa, you know, who was
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: very sort of book smart and progressive in a lot
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: of ways. She might think she doesn't do it in
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: this episode, but you might think, oh, well, I've got
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: a quil so this can seem kind of lame themard
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: to be able to do it with flair and with
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: style that makes you go, oh, okay, well, no, this
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: is something we're paying attention to, and the person who
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: does it is someone worth respecting. Yeah, I like the
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: whole subplot or narrative thread, so to speak of the
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: whole quilt thing.
• 43:47
  Speaker 5: I mean the play Yeah, thanks man, it was gonna
• 43:53
  Speaker 5: be a drive.
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: I'm like knowledge that. Yeah, the role that it played
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: absolutely Yeah. But the way it brought these two people
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: together the inside, it gave you into the into the
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: movie family. I mean, not a whole lot, but you know,
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: it just adds something to the overall yeah, greaterst scheme
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: of things. And I don't want to jump on favorite
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: moments here, but in a few moments we'll get to it. Yeah,
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: but it certainly culminates in one of my favorite moments
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: in the episode, and maybe, look, I'll be hard press
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: to say one of my favorites of the series, but
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: I think it's a really really good lesson and summed
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: up in a really interesting.
• 44:33
  Speaker 5: Ending to I wanted to touch on it anyway, so
• 44:36
  Speaker 5: I wanted to discuss It's almost like a a strength
• 44:38
  Speaker 5: through adversity ending, isn't it.
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: It's making lemons out of lemonade? Yeah? Sorry, yeah, elements walker,

  Speaker 5: was going to say that, you know, you can't get
• 45:26
  Speaker 5: the quilt back. Some things you can't fix, but we
• 45:29
  Speaker 5: can sit here and we can mope about it, or
• 45:31
  Speaker 5: we can power through. And she starts her own quilt.
• 45:34
  Speaker 5: It would have maybe been nice for her to offer
• 45:36
  Speaker 5: Marshal chance to add a patch to it as well.
• 45:38
  Speaker 5: They both sort of start the quilt together.
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: Would have been and look that may well happen. It
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: could have been happening five minutes after the end of
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: this episode. Yeah, but honestly, this feels like the kind
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: of thing you'd put as your I don't know if
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: we'd really do it in Australia, but so they certainly
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: do in the States with ther high school yearbook and
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: you put a quote in under your photo.
• 45:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah, for Lisa, they do in the States because Millhouse
• 45:58
  Speaker 5: wrights see you in the car. Well, of course, yeah,
• 46:00
  Speaker 5: well that's why I say you're doing in Australia. Sorry, apologize,
• 46:02
  Speaker 5: we do. Well, we did it when I was in
• 46:03
  Speaker 5: high school.
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: We did do it.
• 46:05
  Speaker 5: It was they called their end of year flotsam. It
• 46:07
  Speaker 5: was called it caught a flotsam. What the hell Australia's
• 46:09
  Speaker 5: weird word sometimes anyway.
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: But honestly, what Lisa says. It's one thing to be
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: a link in the chain, it's another to start your own.
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: That's a great quote, right, that's a great quote, honestly,
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: words to live by. So if you're a young person
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: and you listen to the show, take that one on board.
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: Tell them guys centure.
• 46:25
  Speaker 5: I've just googled the word flotsam and it says, according
• 46:28
  Speaker 5: to the Dictionary, the wreckage of a ship or it's
• 46:31
  Speaker 5: cargo found floating or washed upon the sea. So yeah,
• 46:35
  Speaker 5: flotsam and jetsam. So why would we call it a flotsam?
• 46:38
  Speaker 5: We called a flotsam end of your flotsam?
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: How biz that?
• 46:41
  Speaker 5: But you're right, though, that quote is something to live by,
• 46:43
  Speaker 5: and we're touching on it before we hit record. Lisa
• 46:48
  Speaker 5: can be very annoying at times. Right, she usually has
• 46:51
  Speaker 5: a good message, but usually the way she communicates said
• 46:53
  Speaker 5: message comes across as obnoxious and well beyond her years,
• 46:56
  Speaker 5: to the point where it's like you're a kid trying
• 46:58
  Speaker 5: to be an adult. This just felt like a child
• 47:01
  Speaker 5: who was beyond her years. But she still felt like
• 47:02
  Speaker 5: a kid saying it.
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, it felt like she had a lot a
• 47:05
  Speaker 3: great deal of emotional intelligence as well as you know,
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: book smarts. Yeah, I think this is the way that
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: Lisa was initially sort of designed and depicted in the
• 47:14
  Speaker 3: show as, if not necessarily the moral center of the
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: Simpson family, then someone who is a bit of a
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: grounding influence despite being a little girl. The characters and
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: their best and worst traits have been sort of elevated
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: and heightened alone the years, you know, to the point
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: now where we're talking about season twenty and it's kind
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: of like there's no sort of emotion there really anymore.
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: It's just's what's funny, there's not really any emotional underpending
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: to it. It's like home Home is a dumb ass.
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: Where is he in this? You see? I mean he
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: does silly, impulsive things like he well, he's oh my god,
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: those shoes. I've got to have those shoes. We can
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: mean that we can all relate to that shit. Yeah,
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, and he's just not necessarily the brightest thing.
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: But you know, it's still something that he does.
• 47:57
  Speaker 5: A bit of a spoiler in my notes for that
• 47:59
  Speaker 5: particular scene, I think I've got something on the lines of, oh,
• 48:02
  Speaker 5: this is what you call selfish Homer just buying a
• 48:05
  Speaker 5: pair of shoes.
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: Wait to get to season eighteen. H that's right, yeah, yeah,
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: or Bart's a bratt.
• 48:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but as we said at the end of this episode,
• 48:16
  Speaker 5: he's a kid. Of course he was going to lose
• 48:18
  Speaker 5: his best friend, and that particularly as I said, that
• 48:21
  Speaker 5: moment where he says, I'm going to miss your boy.
• 48:23
  Speaker 5: I thought we'd be friends forever.
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: It's like, oh man, yeah, yeah, but yeah in this episode,
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: and I think in the early seasons of the show,
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: these are very very relatable people, very relatable characters. With
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: the dial turned up to maybe about three or four,
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: it's like, you're a little bit exaggerated, but oh shit,
• 48:41
  Speaker 3: we've all been there, right, And then you get to
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: layer episodes. Let's crank that doll. Let's crank that doll.
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: Let's crank that dial until you know there's no dial anymore.
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: You're in a spinal tapping the jet buttons. Please go
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: to eleven. Yes.
• 48:52
  Speaker 5: I always want to touch on the parodies as well,
• 48:54
  Speaker 5: So we get an et parody here with the fingers.
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: We get predator. Yeah. I wasn't. I read someone was like, hey,
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: they're taking a predator And.
• 49:03
  Speaker 5: This was Friday in the thirteenth. The music was getting
• 49:05
  Speaker 5: me thrown it.
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's like, yeah, but apparently you know when it
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: switches to dog vision or animal vision, what do you
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: hear this sort of yeah, which is and whenever you
• 49:15
  Speaker 3: get predator vision in the Predator movies, it just wasn't
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: was that fat? Yeah, it wasn't really that sidebar. I
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: don't know if we're allowed to do this on them,
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: the new and new and improved Full Finger dis Gun.
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: There was a trailer at this morning. Apparently there are
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: two new Predator movies coming out this year. Well, okay,
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: the last one was Prayed, wasn't it Yeah, which I enjoyed. Yeah,
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: and these two a review of Prey on our Patreon Yeah, yeah,
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: these two new ones are directed by the same guy
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: I did Pray. There's one coming out called Predator Badlands.
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: But this one is called Predator Killer of Killers, and
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: it's anime and as bloody as hell. The trailers on
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: YouTube now check it out. Check that out.
• 49:48
  Speaker 5: All right, So before we get into our review, there's
• 49:50
  Speaker 5: a couple of things I want to touch on. Assassins
• 49:52
  Speaker 5: right now. Assassins to me, everyone remembers the Assassins, they
• 49:57
  Speaker 5: can't quite remember which episode it's from. They just remember
• 49:59
  Speaker 5: that they get eaten by the dogs. So maybe you
• 50:00
  Speaker 5: can put two and two together. But the assassins, for
• 50:02
  Speaker 5: some reason, they don't play a huge role in the episode.
• 50:05
  Speaker 5: They gone once they get eaten. It's like, oh, for
• 50:09
  Speaker 5: some reason, in my mind, they were the reason he
• 50:11
  Speaker 5: gets home once to get rid of him.
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: But it wasn't.
• 50:12
  Speaker 5: It was the giant cooking. But so he eats his assassins,
• 50:15
  Speaker 5: and the assassins is almost like the first nail in
• 50:17
  Speaker 5: a coffin, right, But they seem so unnecessary, but would
• 50:20
  Speaker 5: absolutely dominate in twenty twenty five because I see people
• 50:24
  Speaker 5: just we have no money, but for some reason, young
• 50:27
  Speaker 5: people still have money to spend on useless shit. And
• 50:30
  Speaker 5: I think the assassins just seem so unnecessarily useless. When
• 50:33
  Speaker 5: it comes to shoes all the extras, you think, why
• 50:35
  Speaker 5: do we need all this stuff? But I'd want to
• 50:37
  Speaker 5: because it's just I want to be part of the club.
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and it's also a real yolo thing, that
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: thing you were talking about. About. You know, no one's
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: got any money. It's like, well, look, I want to
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: be able to afford to retire, I might as well
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: dress well now, yeah, and I might as well go
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: on holiday. Now.
• 50:49
  Speaker 5: I was a big fan of the join the Conspiracy
• 50:51
  Speaker 5: tagline because it just makes you, it's mystique. You're in
• 50:54
  Speaker 5: with the in crowd. You're in with the in crowds.
• 50:55
  Speaker 5: You want, oh, you want to be part of the
• 50:57
  Speaker 5: in crowd? Join the conspiracy, mate?
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: Sure? Absolutely. Yeah. The kind of shoes that have just
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: got everything built into them. What is it like a
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: pedometer and so.
• 51:07
  Speaker 5: It's it's Valco straps, water pump in the tongue, built
• 51:10
  Speaker 5: in reflective sidewalls, and a little vanity license plates.
• 51:13
  Speaker 3: A little short had a pedometer, Maybe it did.
• 51:16
  Speaker 5: Maybe I missed that one. Yeah, but the little.
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: Vanity plates. That's hilarious, so good. There's all a lot
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: bit ned who you know, you tend to think of, like, well,
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: shouldn't he be giving this money to the church. He's
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: going to treat himself a little bit as well. It's
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: like everyone's in on assassin.
• 51:32
  Speaker 5: Sometimes you have to treat yourself. It's just sometimes I'll
• 51:34
  Speaker 5: talk about that when we get to that metical. I've
• 51:36
  Speaker 5: got some notes on that as well. But apparently these
• 51:38
  Speaker 5: assassins have become a thing of legend in the sneaker
• 51:40
  Speaker 5: collector world, many comparing the design of them to an
• 51:44
  Speaker 5: actual pair of sneakers from the early nineties, the Nike
• 51:47
  Speaker 5: Air Trainer Sports Classic or something. But yeah, the Nike
• 51:50
  Speaker 5: Airtrainer shoes which were released just prior to this episode.
• 51:53
  Speaker 5: So maybe they based the design on that.
• 51:55
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I was getting a very Nike feel off them.
• 51:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not sure if it's around their course
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: a Jordan time, do you think, well, yeah, that's what
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: they are. They're Nicare Air Jordan's.
• 52:05
  Speaker 5: Okay, so they're Jordan's. Yeah, but the maybe not. I'm
• 52:08
  Speaker 5: not too sure. But all I know is that shoes, man,
• 52:11
  Speaker 5: they collect the world. It's a big deal. Oh yeah,
• 52:13
  Speaker 5: if you're in that world.
• 52:15
  Speaker 3: I was about to say, oh, it's a bit of
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: a subculture. No, it's a culture and a gentlemine thing. Yeah.
• 52:19
  Speaker 5: We've got friends that are willing to drop like a
• 52:21
  Speaker 5: thousand dollars in a pair of shoes and they don't
• 52:22
  Speaker 5: even open them. They just leave them when they leave
• 52:23
  Speaker 5: while they open them, they leave them on a shelf
• 52:25
  Speaker 5: with the tag. And I'm thinking, okay, Wonder Rock and
• 52:28
  Speaker 5: wonder Stock. Yeah, if you've got the money to do it.
• 52:30
  Speaker 5: It's almost like a waving your dick around and kind
• 52:32
  Speaker 5: of thing for me, Like, it's you've got to have
• 52:34
  Speaker 5: money to be able to collect these things, unless you're
• 52:36
  Speaker 5: using all of your money to collect these things.
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: That's true.
• 52:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, it's a very doggy dog words you'd find
• 52:41
  Speaker 5: like Pokemon. Pokemon cards are a big thing at the moment.
• 52:43
  Speaker 5: Have you seen all these videos of people trying to
• 52:45
  Speaker 5: empty at the Pokemon card machines at supermarkets and whatnot.
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: I have not seen this video. Yeah.
• 52:49
  Speaker 5: So people are like lining up and they have machines
• 52:52
  Speaker 5: that they restock at night, and you buy the Pokemon
• 52:55
  Speaker 5: cards from them. It's almost like a vending machine, right,
• 52:57
  Speaker 5: And people are going there and dropping you know, five
• 52:59
  Speaker 5: grand and on nothing but Pokemon cards so that they
• 53:01
  Speaker 5: can own all the cards. And people are having all
• 53:04
  Speaker 5: out wars for these cards because they can flip them
• 53:06
  Speaker 5: and make their money back.
• 53:07
  Speaker 3: One of the best advertising or marketing slogans that was
• 53:12
  Speaker 3: ever done is got to catch them all. Oh, unbelievable, unbelievable.
• 53:19
  Speaker 3: I mean we were talking about Nike and Nike's got
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: just do it, which I think is a really good slogan.
• 53:24
  Speaker 3: Nike does some fantasy, but got to catch them all.
• 53:27
  Speaker 5: That's the mecha mate. It's catchy, but it's also telling
• 53:31
  Speaker 5: me I've got to catch them all. What have I do?
• 53:34
  Speaker 3: We want to? We want to, We want a slogan
• 53:36
  Speaker 3: that's catchy. Can we use the word catch.

• 54:42
  Speaker 5: it's now time for favorite moments. My favorite your first.
• 54:48
  Speaker 3: Moment when we were talking about Sylvia Winfield earlier, not
• 54:54
  Speaker 3: to Emily win Robert, Sylvia win Field, Homer refers to
• 54:57
  Speaker 3: as an old battle axe.
• 54:59
  Speaker 5: That's a great one of my favorite bits that that
• 55:02
  Speaker 5: Neil Ever did on Conan, Because my wife what a
• 55:06
  Speaker 5: battle axe?
• 55:08
  Speaker 3: Not Norm?
• 55:08
  Speaker 5: So Norm what I think of Neil Norm Norman Donald.
• 55:11
  Speaker 5: It's like, my wife, what a battle axe? And Conda
• 55:13
  Speaker 5: just like battle axe?
• 55:15
  Speaker 4: This his battle axe.
• 55:18
  Speaker 3: It's just a it's a great insult.
• 55:20
  Speaker 5: Particularly Yeah, it's like it's not a swear word, but
• 55:23
  Speaker 5: it's just what a what a battle axe? Look, no
• 55:27
  Speaker 5: one's called their wife. That's is nineteen fifty two, I
• 55:29
  Speaker 5: think says it's a great term battle axe.
• 55:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I've just written down Tracy Ormond exclamation point yeah,
• 55:38
  Speaker 3: what a lady. Yeah, yeah, it just does great work,
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: just really commits to the bits. I enjoyed her voice
• 55:44
  Speaker 3: work very very much. I've written out, oh my god,
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: look at that magazine stand two Dallas, please take me
• 55:53
  Speaker 3: back to nineteen ninety four. So yeah, just love that.
• 55:55
  Speaker 3: But also just the follow one from that, when Homer
• 55:59
  Speaker 3: is taken the team Maga scenes to the to the gun. Now,
• 56:02
  Speaker 3: this is interesting because you know, okay, you want to
• 56:06
  Speaker 3: tin scream and tin steam and all that kind of stuff. Therefore,
• 56:10
  Speaker 3: my daughter, yeah, shere pal as home was leaving. What
• 56:12
  Speaker 3: does he say? He said, the wise guy wise Guy?
• 56:17
  Speaker 3: Is this the birth of wise Guy?
• 56:19
  Speaker 5: Well he's not the wise Guy visually, but it certainly
• 56:22
  Speaker 5: sounds like his voice sounds like and yeah, sure thing.
• 56:26
  Speaker 3: So it's not quite the wise Guy boys, but it's close,
• 56:30
  Speaker 3: and it's the kind of thing that I would say absolutely.
• 56:33
  Speaker 5: I really liked Lisa calling Homer at work and say
• 56:36
  Speaker 5: she has the mumps and he says the kissing disease.
• 56:37
  Speaker 5: A little girls growing up, that was such.
• 56:39
  Speaker 3: A sweet, lovely everything felt relatable and real, felt grounded
• 56:44
  Speaker 3: and real. That's the word real was the word. Yeah,
• 56:46
  Speaker 3: very much. No, I love that. I thought that was
• 56:48
  Speaker 3: I thought that was fantastic. And Lenny comes in and
• 56:52
  Speaker 3: takes over. I love the soap that they were watching together.
• 56:57
  Speaker 3: That yeah stuff talking about that as well.
• 57:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, just great memories of being at NaNs on school holidays,
• 57:04
  Speaker 5: young and the restless.
• 57:05
  Speaker 3: Well that's that was the great thing about being sick
• 57:07
  Speaker 3: and being away from school. It's like there's this whole
• 57:10
  Speaker 3: world of daytime television. Ah well mate, yeah, and it's like, well,
• 57:15
  Speaker 3: this is in design for me. There's design for grown ups. Yeah,
• 57:18
  Speaker 3: this is what growns are into. These soap operas and
• 57:20
  Speaker 3: these game shows, all these like Beauty and the b
• 57:22
  Speaker 3: shows or it's like, you know, you've got one dude
• 57:25
  Speaker 3: surrounded by a bunch of what he would call old
• 57:27
  Speaker 3: battle Is that is that what you women think? Oh
• 57:30
  Speaker 3: go to hell stand?
• 57:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that kind of business. But that, yeah, that's so cool.
• 57:34
  Speaker 5: The kids shows and at nine o'clock after that start
• 57:37
  Speaker 5: to get at three. Nine to three is Nanny's time.
• 57:41
  Speaker 5: But yeah, just that dreadful guy and saying, well you
• 57:45
  Speaker 5: trim me like garbage.
• 57:46
  Speaker 3: That's because you love it. Beabie, I thought you were dead.
• 57:48
  Speaker 5: I was.
• 57:51
  Speaker 3: I like Bart saying my dead man, know how often
• 57:55
  Speaker 3: I get asked that. I think That's what I've got
• 57:58
  Speaker 3: for favorite moments, and one for me was Lisa's speech
• 58:02
  Speaker 3: to save Santas Little Helper and ensure that Marge and
• 58:05
  Speaker 3: Homer give them give him one more chance to finish
• 58:07
  Speaker 3: his session these classes, Lisa, They're never gonna put the
• 58:11
  Speaker 3: plug on me. What you may next question? You there
• 58:17
  Speaker 3: eating the paste?
• 58:18
  Speaker 5: All right, let's get into some trivia questions. My first
• 58:21
  Speaker 5: question for you is what time does Marge book in
• 58:24
  Speaker 5: Lisa to see doctor Hibbert.
• 58:26
  Speaker 3: It's two pm? Two pm? What don't but says that
• 58:30
  Speaker 3: Lisa wasted one disease? Please don't waste the mumps? What
• 58:32
  Speaker 3: disease did she wastes? Chicken pox? Chicken pox? Chicken pox? Yes?
• 58:36
  Speaker 5: How much does sad As Little Helpers never break colonna?
• 58:41
  Speaker 3: Eighty nine cent? Yes, according to doctor Hibbert, a swelling
• 58:45
  Speaker 3: of the what indicse you've got mumps?
• 58:48
  Speaker 5: I did write it in my notes. It was it
• 58:50
  Speaker 5: was a swelling of the It wasn't the gums was
• 58:53
  Speaker 5: It's no.
• 58:54
  Speaker 3: She's got a discolouration of again. She's got a swell
• 58:57
  Speaker 3: selling toys, paratoid toys, yes, or parrotids yes, is because
• 59:03
  Speaker 3: it's spelled paratoys. But I swear to paratids.
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 59:07
  Speaker 3: When I was watching it on Friendly Pod Disney Plus,
• 59:11
  Speaker 3: they spelled it to paratids.
• 59:12
  Speaker 5: Oh maybe I just read it wrong. It happens sometimes.
• 59:15
  Speaker 5: And my final question for you is, according to the
• 59:18
  Speaker 5: Journal of Canine Obedience, which Emily is reading, what is
• 59:22
  Speaker 5: the dog of the nineties, it's the air one as well,
• 59:25
  Speaker 5: just googling what isn't Airdale? Look, oh, it's one of
• 59:28
  Speaker 5: those dogs I always call like Scottish terriers, bigger versions
• 59:32
  Speaker 5: of them, right, yes, a small dogs.
• 59:34
  Speaker 3: That's I know the dog. You know. They look sweet.
• 59:37
  Speaker 3: They look very nice, don't they They look friendly, kind
• 59:41
  Speaker 3: of dumb, but friendly, and and airedales all over the
• 59:44
  Speaker 3: world while we're gone, fuck you man. The thing is
• 59:49
  Speaker 3: that these dogs have hairy mouths in that right is.
• 59:51
  Speaker 5: Whenever I see them, particularly the white ones, their hair
• 59:54
  Speaker 5: in the mouse always fucking filthy. Oh yeah, because they
• 59:56
  Speaker 5: eat their food gets caught in there. I go, I
• 59:58
  Speaker 5: just don't want that dog. This looks messy.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 3: But yeah, this airedale that we're looking out in particularly,
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 3: it looks like he's grown a mustache. It does indeed, Yeah,
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 3: well she it looks like someone from Tombstone. That's correct, Yes,
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 3: a movie we should be covering. We'll get to that
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 3: one of these days. We'll be done with trivia because
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 3: it'd give one more question. Why not sure? How many
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 3: Coreris are they? According to Lisa.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 5: Eight and I think this is the first mention of
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 5: the Corries because it's Bart's friend falls in Love, which
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 5: I think it's season three where she goes to the
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 5: Corey Hogh. I think it's that episode. Yes, but Corey
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 5: was a big thing in the early nineties, Corey Fellman.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 3: Corey Well, there are only really two Coreys who Corey is, Yeah,
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 3: Cory Hay, Corey Felman. Yeah, late eighties, early nineties.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 5: His music career mate. It's it's a it's a spectacle.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 3: I want to give Corey Felman the benefit of the
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 3: doubt in a lot of ways. But he recently went
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 3: on was it I don't think it was Mark Maron's podcast,
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 3: and might have been right on Rosenbaumbs, but he was
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 3: talking about bumbs.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, he was on Gym's recently.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he was talking about Oh yeah, I had the
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 3: role in What's Eating Gilbert Grape that Leonardo DiCaprio eventually
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 3: got but I actually had that role. But then Johnny
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 3: Depp said, I'm not walking to Corey Feldman his drug addict,
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 3: So so he got booted from that. Somehow doubt this.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 3: I doubt the veracity of your story, Corey Filman. He
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 3: said he said something else that he was kind of
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 3: attached to that was some big oh that he auditioned
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 3: for Titanic as in Leo's as in Leo's maybe just
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 3: doesn't like Leo. I get the feeling he's kind of
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 3: looking at Leo going could have been me, should have
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 3: been me? It's like they could have been me. Yeah,
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 3: it's like, Corey, we all enjoy your run as a
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 3: as a child actor. Even as a young adult actor.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 3: You will find in Licensed Drive and The Lost Boys,
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 3: in Gremlins and Gremlins and and finally the Final Chapter
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 3: and The Great Stand by Me. I think once you
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 3: hit sort of adulthood, it's like a time you get
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 3: a desk job. Buddy. Anyway, that's it. But the core
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 3: I think, and that's my two cents.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 5: And we did have someone who wrote in saying, hey,
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 5: do you guys to do the my two cents segment
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 5: which we used to do back in the first few
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 5: years of the show, people writing in saying somewhere where
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 5: you've tried to save money, right, So it's called the
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 5: my two cent segment and the most life, the most despicable,
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 5: most hilarious ways we should say, hilarious ways to try
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 5: and save a few cents, right, which for example is
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 5: would be I'm going to drive to Aldi and then
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 5: drive to Coles to save twelve cents off my Pepsi
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 5: Max kind of thing, you know that kind of thing, right,
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 5: that's a classic my two cent story. I want to
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 5: bring the segment back, right, So My two Cents is

• 1:05:43
  Speaker 5: an hour. But our run through we should say, let's
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 5: call this the run through. So the original air edit
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 5: was March seventh, nineteen ninety one, And start playing that
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 5: game again. What do you think We're the top three
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 5: films at the US box office in the week of
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 5: March seventh, nineteen ninety one. Ah, this one you could
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 5: probably get because it was arguably the most successful film
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 5: of the year from a Acclaim perspective. Well, I think
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 5: it was released to the year before, though, I know
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 5: it could have been Visity before. Maybe you're still carried over.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 5: I'm not too sure.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: It was.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 3: Sounds of the Lambs was number one. That was nineteen
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 3: ninety No, no, that's ninety nine one because I was
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 3: released on Valentine's naw ninety one.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so it was number one for like four straight weeks.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 5: So yeah, Side of the Lambs. Number two was The Doors,
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 5: which we discussed recently on the movie Guy with Maltin
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 5: and Davis Kimo.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 3: Tragically lost to his life. Rest in peace. Voal Kilma
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 3: and Sleeping with the Enemy was number three, starring Julia Robertson. Yeah,
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 3: I've never seen it. I've never heard of it. Have
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 3: you never heard of it? It's all right, right, it's
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 3: kind of like that you can put on the situbraina
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 3: for a while a little bit. Yeah, it's like the
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 3: Julia Robarts version of the soap that they catch in
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 3: this episode, because yeah, it's basically Julia Robins married a
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 3: rich dude. He turned out to be pricked. She made
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 3: an escape and but guess what he followed her? What
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 3: a prick?
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 5: Okay, cool, Well, I may or may not check it out.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 5: It's it's fine, yes, but this episode was written by
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 5: John Viddi, directed by Jim ridd And, who both appear
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 5: in the audio commentary with Matt Groening and l Gene
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 5: the chalkboard gig I Will Not Sell School Property, which
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 5: is a re used short gag from but gets Hit
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 5: by a Car, which we reviewed a couple of years
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 5: ago with our man who wrote the original draft of
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 5: the New Avengers film, which I believe has now been
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 5: changed because Kang is no longer in that film.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 3: That's right, Jeff, Yeah a man, Jeff, yeah yeah. Share
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 3: to Jeff.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 5: And cash gag the family sits on the couch with Sat,
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 5: a little helper and a slawball too, which I think
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 5: was a pretty fitting cash gag.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 3: Very apt.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 5: Yes, So the episode kicks off and I'm just looking
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 5: at my notes from the audio commentary. We've got to
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 5: mention Frank Welker. Frank Welker absolute icon in the voice
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 5: acting world. He is the voice of Megatron, He's the
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 5: voice of Fred from Scooby Doo visional voice of Fred,
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 5: but he basically does any animal voices animal animated animals.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 5: As Frank Welker, the guy we've tried to get him
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 5: on Chincoming's podcast. It's never going to happen. He's just
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 5: he's very he likes to keep to himself, very private,
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 5: which is more power to him. He swats wide to ask.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 5: I guess you could say. But he does sound as
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 5: a little helper and snowball to the animal sounds in
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 5: this episode, and I thought, he it's amazing. I was
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 5: saying the commentary that you say to a dog, and
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 5: all of a sudden he's becomes a dog. And it's
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 5: to have that kind of talent must be unbelievable.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, And yeah, it may sound like an odd
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 3: thing to specialize in, or you know, oh, how much
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 3: can this guy actually bring to the table. He's just going, actually,
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 3: he's not doing.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 5: My hand like a piece of chicken. Do's a shout
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 5: out to our review of Cassabita.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 3: Indeed it is. I'm going down to South Park check
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 3: that one out. But I don't think you get the
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 3: connection that you have with Sanders little helper, with the
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 3: particular in this episode, without what he brings to the table.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 3: I think I think it adds something.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, especially the sound of the choke chain like that
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 5: sounded like a genuine dog being choked. Absolutely, yeah, good stuff.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 5: But the episode kicks off early morning paper boys delivering
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 5: in the morning paper. No, I had a paper on
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 5: when I was younger.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 3: Did you have a paper on? I think I may
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 3: have briefly sort of walked around the neighborhood dropping off
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 3: what do you call them broches? Yeah, for the supermarkets
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 3: and the like. Okay, now I never had an actual
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 3: paper route.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 5: Whenever I visit my parents, I drive around and I
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 5: always just get flashbacks. I'm like, oh, it's rosted to
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 5: live all the papers here.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 3: I got paid.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 5: They pay you nothing. I think I can pay the
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 5: maybe like fourteen dollars to live hundreds of papers. It's
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 5: just it's slave flavor, mate.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 3: It really is. It's still got any jabs.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 5: But I really love this, and I've got here one
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 5: notes any episode that begins at sunrise with the Simpsons
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 5: house exterior with that music. Of course, it's music in
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 5: the morning. It just always makes me smile. I really
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 5: really like it. But the dog here, Hope he picks
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 5: up the newspaper, his back cracks, his knees cracking, and
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 5: I feel you, buddy, it said a little help, but
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 5: grabs the paper and ruins the sports section. But now
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 5: it's breakfast time and Homer's paper has a giant hole
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 5: in it. He can only sports section a very nineties thing.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 5: We would never have this issue anymore because who buys
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 5: a newspaper anymore?
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 3: Tell me about it. Yeah, but I think it also
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 3: indicates that there's an old thing about the dog brings
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 3: in the paper for you. I don't think I've ever
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 3: seen this happen, nah, but I think it indicates, oh,
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 3: this dog means well, you know, he's like, oh, I'm
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 3: here to help, I'm bringing the paper for you. No,
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 3: no much, I don't want you to do it. Yeah.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, So the sounds little helper here is eyeing off
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 5: homeless food. And this is the first point of view
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 5: shot that we gap, And I think it's just good
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 5: establishing to us the viewer that he's just he's hearing gibberish.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 5: As owners of dogs and cats, we speak to them
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 5: and we think they understand this, but no, they are
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 5: just trying to work out, well that gibberish means this.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they don't know what we're saying. Oh yeah, they
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 3: don't understand the actual words of that. It really is
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 3: more about the tone or the volume in which you're
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 3: saying it.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and this, this point of view shot just justifies
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 5: why he struggles to follow Waters. He's not doing it
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 5: by choice, he just doesn't get it. You might as
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 5: well be speaking French to him.
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 5: So Margin goes to get Lisa ready for school.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 3: She's clearly unwell.
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 5: And I was saying in the commentary, they're thinking, how
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 5: do we draw mumps, and like all we could think
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 5: of was the cheeks, And I'm like, no, it worked,
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 5: it does.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, well, the minute that you see a
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 3: little bit the bolts like, oh yeah, that's mumps. I
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 3: went to school with a kid who had like the
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 3: worst case of the mumps. He is honestly bulging out.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 3: His nickname became Monp for the next two years. Really,
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 3: oh yeah, he just looked absolutely shocking.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 5: I've never seen anyone with mumps. I don't think I
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 5: had it when I was a kid. Is okay, maybe
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 5: I did. Nikola gets in her glans sort of flat
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 5: up sometimes and her neck sort of sticks out a
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 5: little bit. But yeah, I know, just yeah, that's a
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 5: saying the commentary they just just give a bigger cheeks,
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 5: that'll do. And Homer is calling out saying, man, your
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 5: Doug is hungry, I like much, Well, then feed him,
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 5: then do it?
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 3: You know what do you want me from me?
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 5: But unfortunately he's left his play at attended and the
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 5: dog has eaten his food. Annoying dogs should be on
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 5: the table eating the food.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 3: I do get that.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 5: I mean there weren't my street. That was a well,
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 5: well what do you expect? But still a dog should
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 5: be still fit off.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 3: The p oh no, no, no, no, I mean yeah,
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 3: when that kind of thing happens. And I mean I've had,
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 3: as I mentioned so many times, basically will jump up
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 3: on the counter. It's like, let this alone for one minute.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 3: I turned my back.
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 5: My one sagon Jack never stole food. Well, very lucky
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 5: in that regard. Yeah, I had my previous dog, though
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 5: you left anything out gone.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 3: Pardon me was like, well I should have known better,
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 3: And pardon me is like I shouldn't have to know better.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 5: My name Marlene once had a dog, Molly, Miss Molly
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 5: and Michael Darren took over and once my name passed
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 5: and looked after her until she was until she passed away.
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 5: She once she was a shocker, but she was a rescue.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 5: My name rescued her from someone. It was like a
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 5: puppy farm, and she was just constantly just because she
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 5: was like the mother in the puppy farm. She was
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 5: just bread and bread and bread. It wasn't treated well.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 5: It's almost like she had to She obviously had to
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 5: fend for her food because whenever there was food, it
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 5: was just all of it's mine, I'm eating it really
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 5: really fast. Right. But one time my name came home
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 5: and she had got into the freezer and eaten and
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 5: the fridge and eaten an entire loaf of frozen fucking bread,
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 5: frozen bread, eating it and a dozen eggs, just shells
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 5: at all.
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 3: Shared to that dog and protein made a tasty say,
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 3: it's clearly clearly loading up. But yeah, NaN's like it
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 3: was just a leaf of it was frozen shells and
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 3: all shells and all. Yeah, crazy stuff.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 5: But this is where sat As little helper is now
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 5: tied to a stake outside and he's ruined the grass.
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 5: And that's what happens when you have dogs at it.
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 5: Seay run around the backyard, ruined the grass. Alliot's ruined
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 5: the back corner of our backyard and the other back
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 5: corner from when he's bowling the cricket ball and when
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 5: he's batting, so it's just wherever he's constantly standing.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 3: So it just just dirt there, no grass. But that's
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 3: what's happened here. And he's now digging up various toys
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 3: and I'm sorry. He's just reminded me of something. Whenever
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 3: I'll go over to Lose, I'll park in one particular spot, yea,
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 3: on the grass on the road, on the on the grass. Well,
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 3: sometimes I'll be in the driveway, but sometimes be on
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 3: the nature ruined the grass well, and I haven't ruined
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 3: it a flat a little bit. But then I parked
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 3: on a different aspect of it, and she said, you're
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 3: going to create another flat spot.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 5: On it's the passive aggressive Are you going to do that?
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 5: And You're like, I know you're joking, but I don't
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 5: think you are joking. I'll go back to my other spot. Sorry, sweetheart,
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 5: I came over here to mow the lawn.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 3: Anyway.
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 5: But he's dug up the talking crusty here. You're my
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 5: best friend, blah blah blah, ruins it their Marge calls
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 5: doctor Hibbitt at his home. Marge, what are you doing?
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 5: First and foremost, I can't work out the timeline of
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 5: this episode because home picks up the morning paper.
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 3: He's not going to work. He's sitting there having his
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 3: breakfast at the table.
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 5: Right, that's fine. Maybe he gets up really early, but
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 5: then Lisa can't go to school. Why are the Hibbitts
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 5: already the dinner table when she calls.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 3: Oh, well, maybe it's their breakfast table.
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 5: Well, they're having breakfasts where they maybe, but they would
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 5: have seem made possibly. Something I enjoyed about that their
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 5: rumors didn't feel like a breakfast vibe. I've certainly had
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 5: a Cosby vibe. We're in our carsbisweater.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 3: But something I enjoyed about that bid was like, first
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 3: of all, I'm very curious as to how you got
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 3: my home phone number. You don't hear what what she said?
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 3: Very ingenious along those sometimes it were better. That's classic comedy.
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 3: Writers use your user imas like, oh, that's very clever,
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 3: because it's very clever, and these writers seem clever by extension, and.
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 5: Hibbert here isn't quite the jovial Hibbit that we come
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 5: to expect.
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 3: Yet you get a lot of different voices in this well,
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 3: because I mean, this was the original hip, but it's
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 3: they haven't quite worked out the voices yet. True, but
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 3: even home is a little bit different still, but you
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 3: get to well, Martin Prince has a dog at the
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 3: at the at the dog training place. Doesn't sayd like
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 3: Martin Prince. Does he talk? Does he he does? What
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 3: does he ask?
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 5: I've forgotten exactly but I can't remember. But he's there,
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 5: and he says something as high pitch as it because
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 5: his voice.
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 3: Was more certainly a modern Prince voice.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's not that his voice wasn't as high.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 3: It was certainly lower lower. Yeah, yeah, but hibbit's not
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 3: as we get a slight little but you're not getting Yeah,
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 3: you're not getting that.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 5: He's more yeah, the serious doctor here. But he tells
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 5: her well, basically he says, I think she's got the mumps.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 5: He's like, well, I'm the professional. I think I'll diagnose
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 5: the child. Do you have a Google doctor?
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 3: I've tried. I try not to now I think I
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 3: had one too many.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 5: Always get worst case scenarios.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 3: You worry about it. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 5: Remember once I had a lump like on my parts
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 5: pieces and I was like, I'm going to die, you know.
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 5: I googled it like this means you have cancer two
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 5: days to live. And I went there and I just like, no,
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 5: it's fine. You know, just had adult just sounding like
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 5: you'll be fine. It's just a fat deposit. And I
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 5: was like, oh, okay, then, so I'm not going to
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 5: die to myrow.
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 3: I got your fat deposit right here. Yeah, thought about it.
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 5: I thought about saying that, and I went, you know what,
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 5: I'm not going to say this. My parts around my ankles,
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 5: my junk's in your hand.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 6: No way, she's faking.
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 2: Please stays home. I stay home. If fight stays home,
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 2: I'm going to school. Fine, then wait a minute, Plica
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 2: go to school. Then I go to school, but then
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 2: Lisa stays home, so I stay home. So Wesa goes
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: to school.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 6: Lisa, don't confuse your brother like that. Have a nice
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 6: day at school.
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 2: Bar get my homework from missus Hoover hook Lisa, you
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 2: waste the chicken picks. Don't waste the months.
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 5: Apparently, Miss Hoover Grating says in the commentary, was his
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 5: first grade teacher. Okay, that's where the name comes from
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 5: from Miss Hoover and him. Here good advice from Barb.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 5: You wasted chicken pox. Don't waste the mump. Use this
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 5: to your advantage. And I've got in my notes. There
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 5: was a little sense of excitement for me when you
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 5: woke up as a child on a school day and
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 5: you felt like you were slightly off. You weren't sick,
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 5: be like, I can emphasize this, and I can somehow
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 5: get out of school.
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 3: I can do the first buller and kind of lick
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 3: my palms.
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 5: I saw Tommy, I gotta pooh, I gotta pooh, and
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 5: you just you have a cough. I was able to cough,
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 5: like a really bad cough on command, so that usually
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 5: got me out of school. But waking up and going, oh,
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 5: I can use this.
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 3: I had that one. Fortunately it was before school, was
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 3: like maybe a week or so before school returned for
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 3: the year. It was like early January or something, and
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 3: I wor, oh, oh, I got a pain in myselthing.
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 3: Oh and oh damn, I could have used this sure,
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 3: And it wasn't getting better. It was getting worse and
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 3: getting worse, and it was like, oh, actually I'm in
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 3: real pain. Ah, I don't And I turned out how
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 3: to pend pedasitist. Yeah, I remember mate having that. I
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 3: remember going I'm an excruciating pad. I'm like, oh fuck,
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 3: I hope I never get this pedasiitist.
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 5: It's really bad. He was like, he's a kid that
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 5: never complained. He was like, I don't remember. I'm an
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 5: excusiating pain.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 3: I was like, oh fuck. Oh yeah.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 5: And every time I get like a slight stitch, I go, please,
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 5: not a pedasitist.
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 3: Please. These days, I think it's relatively easily taken care
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 3: of it. But the pain still there. Oh yeah, the
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 3: pains there absolutely. I think mine was very, very close
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 3: to bursting before they rushed into.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 5: Organs that we don't need as well, Why is it
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 5: there as long? As like I was left in there
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 5: by mistake when they designed the human body.
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 3: It was God's mistake. Yes.
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 5: But I've got a friend. I saw him on the weekend.
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 5: I won't say his name because he likes to keep
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 5: this private, but he recently had brain surgery, pretty crazy
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 5: brain surgery to kind of had a piece of his
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 5: skull to give his brain more space to so it's
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 5: not a hole in his skull, but I had to
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 5: like cave out the inside of his skull so his
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 5: brain would have more room. But pretty intense stuff, right,
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 5: I said to him, so like if you use it
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 5: to just get out of work and stuff, and he goes,
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 5: I haven't really told anybody. I'm like, mate, if I
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 5: had brain surgery, I'd be using a brain surgery card
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 5: every day for like five years. I'd be sitting up
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 5: a gofund me if someone said to me, can you
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 5: get me a drink? I got brain brain surgery. He
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 5: passed that brain surgery. It's the kind of thing I
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 5: would be dropping that card every chance I got. And
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 5: he's like, no, I don't worry want to know about it.
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 5: I'm like, mate, don't waste brain service. Of all the
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 5: things that way, don't waste brain surgery.
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 3: Can you help me out with this?
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 6: Oh?
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean, have you recently had a
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 3: bit of your skull cut out?
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 5: I'm not laughing at his surgery. No, No, terrified friend
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 5: sounds like quite the lord. Yeah he is, indeed, but
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 5: sets a little helper here is still burying items in
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 5: the yard. This time it's a pop plant. He's clearly
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 5: just bored and just needs to get his energy out
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 5: very much.
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 3: Just a kid.
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 5: Who they are is ADHD's add It's like, you know
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 5: what if you just maybe spent some eh of time
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 5: with a kid and kept him busy. Yes, he might
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 5: have as might have a case of it, but you're
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 5: not helping the case by giving him a night battlet
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 5: him sit there playing games, go do stuff with him.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it feels a bit reductive to sort of compare,
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 3: you know, dogs to children or something like that. There's similarities.
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, but some podcasts I was listening, he was
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 3: talking about, you know, the crisis with young males. Everyone's
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 3: jumping on this bandwagon after watching Adolescents on Netflix. But
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 3: this guy basically said, yeah, it's like a dog, and
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 3: a tired dog is a happy dog. A restless dog
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 3: is an unhappy dog. So you know, it's like with kids.
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 3: Take him to the park, let him run around, kick
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 3: a footy or whatever, but you know, exhaust them.
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Ali, after school, he says, can we the footy?
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 5: I've got nothing to do in the afternoon. Yeah, sure, mate,
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 5: Let's go kick the footy for an hour and when
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 5: we get home he's got it out of his system.
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 5: You know, it's it's not climbing the walls.
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 3: I'm sure.
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 5: If I said to Alict and we're gonna go home,
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 5: he'd sit there, he'd fidget. You can tell when Elliott
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 5: hasn't got his energy yet, he can't sit still.
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 3: Sure, kids are kids, and particularly young boys are nuclear
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 3: reactors of energy. Oh yeah mate, Yeah, and if they sorry,
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 3: I'm putting on my doctor spock at here. But you know,
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 3: if they're spending their downtime watching scrange or something like that, Yeah,
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 3: where's that energy gonna go. It's gonna sort of burn
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 3: up and you're gonna get fall out.
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, not good at all. Yeah, we could get There's
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 5: a whole conversation there which I won't get into. But
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 5: this is where say this little helper sees Bart get
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 5: onto the school bus. He breaks free from his chain,
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 5: but tells him to go back home, but of course
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 5: he doesn't, and he said, goes on a little adventure,
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 5: eating some bugs and stealing some beef jerky from the
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 5: quickie marts, Mum and pop store. Who says, here, and
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 5: then he chases some ducks at the pond, just having
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 5: a grand old day. Let me see Sylvia Winfield played
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 5: by Tracy Ollen. She's calling Homer Yo.
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 7: Sim said, there's a Sylvia Winfield that canaine of yours
• 1:22:05

• 1:22:11
  Speaker 8: You go ahead and call your precious dog warden your
• 1:22:14

• 1:22:32
  Speaker 8: time and then I'm going to hang up on you.
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 3: It is not my dog. I tied my dog outside
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 3: my shop. I am looking at him, right dog.
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 5: I just loved Homer here. He was so adamant, well,

• 1:23:38
  Speaker 5: he sees Flanders on his walk and Flannders is kind
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 5: of weird in season two, is not. I feel like
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 5: the Flanders in like season eight nine wouldn't be buying
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 5: assassins and things like that. I wouldn't be treating himself.
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 5: It'd be don't spend money on things that's blasphemous, you know.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, as I said, I mean, they really sort
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 3: of ramp up particular traits and particular addresses of the
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 3: character's personalities as the show goes along. Here is kind
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 3: of Yeah. He's not even kind of you know, churchy
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 3: ned or anything like that. It's more so like a
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 3: pressy next door neighbor who's like, I've got nothing in
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 3: common with this guy, but you know, because we share
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 3: a fence occasionally, we're gonna have to talk.
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 5: I get almost like Phil Hartman neighbor vibes early from
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 5: Early Slanders, where it's almost like he's rubbing it in
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 5: Homer's face what I have, and it was it's not
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 5: the Christmas episode, the first episode where they've got better
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 5: lights and they got better presence in the Simpsons, it's
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 5: almost I don't think he's deliberately doing it. Oh no,
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 5: he's not doing it to rub it in anyone's face,
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 5: but but it comes across that way to someone who
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 5: doesn't have what he has.
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and because they're not being you know, sort
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 3: of flamboyant or ossentation abouts like oh yeah, I've got
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 3: new sneak because I got to treat yourself for anyone's Ah,
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 3: I've got nice Christmas lights, you know, so like check
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 3: out my Christmas lights. How I'm yeah, that was my
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 3: Phil Hartman. That was my worst fill up. I promise it.
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 3: I do have a better one.
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 5: But he says here he loves a dog, and he's like, oh,
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 5: he's just a good dog, isn't he. And home's mocking
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 5: his walking attire is where he mocks the pedometer. I
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 5: think maybe because he's got the gloves and the weight, he's.
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 3: Got ankle weights and like he's holding little handweights.
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 5: Little handworks and stuff. Yeah, but then he sees the
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 5: assassins and he asks the price and doesn't tell on
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 5: the price. And let's just say they're not giving them away.
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 5: But sometimes you're going to treat yourself. And his heart
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 5: rate's dropping, so he walks off, And I totally buy
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 5: Flannder's mentality here of you've just got to spoil yourself.
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 5: Sometimes sometimes you just have to write. I find them
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 5: in the year twenty twenty five that I'm buying things
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 5: just purely for comfort at the moment, Like I just
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 5: feel like I need a bit of comfort, so I'm
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 5: spending money on shit that I don't need. I think
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 5: I need to change my buying habits in a sense
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 5: that I still treat myself. But it's almost like I
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 5: go many buying someth it's worth fifteen dollars or ten dollars,
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 5: but I'm buying too much of those things. Wait it
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 5: out and buy one big thing, because otherwise you just
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 5: end up with a house full of shit that isn't
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 5: that good as opposed to one really good thing.
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 3: I get where you're coming from. Yeah, I mean, I
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 3: sort of made a semi conscious decision not to buy
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 3: too much this year in terms of like what I'd
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 3: usually get, like a big blu ray set or you know,
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 3: a good book or something like or or clothes even
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 3: it's like I really do have enough clothes.
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 5: But it's hard to describe the feeling of opening up
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 5: for the first time, like that new blue a box
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 5: set or something that the I always compare it to
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 5: a board game. I always say board games. The best
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 5: player of ball game is opening it up for the
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 5: first time, or just the.
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 3: Kick of you know, mister Amazon arriving.
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 5: It's like I got a package for somebody's coming to
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 5: my house. Somee's like that social interaction it's coming.
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's brilliant. And what you're saying about buying little things,
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 3: I mean if I would be buying little things that
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 3: wouldn't be stuff that would necessarily be like something to
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 3: put on the wall or on the shelf or what not,
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 3: like not like nacks. Yeah, yeah, I would be like,
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 3: you know what, get the good coffee or this new
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 3: variant of tim Tam is not on special this week,
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 3: but I really feel like the strawberries and cream vary its.
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, or sometimes there's one point where the supermarket Nicholas
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 5: like set of PEPs, my, can you just try the alla?
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 3: I saw one.
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 5: It was a bit cheap, and I was like, nah no,
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 5: there's some just some things you just gotta you like
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 5: and just just like it might cost an extra three
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 5: or four dollars, but you know what, that's not that
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 5: much money for the happiness that that brings me to
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 5: have the better version of something.
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, absolutely the case. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, there
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 3: are some things here, You're right that you just don't
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 3: cut corners on.
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but this is where we have Lisa at Hibbitt's office.
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 5: She's getting checked over. And I mentioned in the commentary
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 5: here they really love doing things like the point of
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 5: view from inside the mouth and that kind of thing.
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 5: But she's got discolorization of the saliva glands and swelling
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 5: of the parotids parotids, and she definitely has the mumps.
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 5: So she's gonna miss a week of school and she
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 5: worries that she's going to get behind her kids in class,
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 5: and not in Hibbits, he's impressed with her responsibility.
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 3: He's like, why are you bothered by this?
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 5: You're just a child, and yeah, So what her favorite subject?
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 5: Is and shouldn't say math. She says arithmetic, arithmetic, and
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 5: he says, don't worry, you'd be back in no time
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 5: doing all your various He says, all the different quadrants
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 5: quaver or something along. But he says, right now, I
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 5: have some rest and enjoy a wally pup. So kind
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 5: of passing here. But I think Hibot's message was you're
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 5: a kid, for the love of God, just enjoy yourself
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 5: and relax, you know, just enjoy it. But the walipop
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 5: actually pays off in a few moments, So homes any
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 5: donates at work and Lisa was calling in to say
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 5: giving him her order for magazines, and he mocks her
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 5: for the kissing disease, and she tells him to quit it.
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 3: And I'd say it at all.
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 5: She wants teen Dream, teen Scream, teen Steam magazine. He
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 5: asked Lenny to cover for him.
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 3: I was got.
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 5: Those were the days holding a magazine in your hand.
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 5: You read those things from beginning to end multiple times
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 5: in case you missed something. You know, like every bit
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 5: of text in that magazine. You'd read it, ads, everying,
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 5: the fine print. And as a teen, I think my
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 5: go to magazine was was Empire. I lived for that shit.
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 5: I loved Empire as well. I got all my movie news.
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 5: What was your teen mag?
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 3: Oh, my teen mag? Oh gosh?
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 5: For my kid mag was Disney Adventures. That was a
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 5: big one for me.
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, let's see. And then when it came to movies,
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 3: I was very big on Premiere and Movie Line. There
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 3: were a couple out of the UK. One was called
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 3: Neon that I really enjoyed. Was really that into Empire
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 3: for some reason? Yeah, yeah, I mean I think I
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 3: respected it, but I was like, I'm getting my information
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 3: from other sources in that regard when it came to
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 3: I think I was trying to be sort of more
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 3: grown up than that I was. There's a men's magazine.
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 3: When I say men's magazine, I don't mean like Playboy.
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 3: I mean more about you know, falling profiles of Ryan
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 3: Gosling and pictures of belts, things like new Waallets. Yeah,
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 3: GQ magazine and Esquire. Still I'm still subscribed to West
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 3: Cone Magazine. Still get a physical copy of it. They
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 3: don't bring it out make it yeah, yeah, they don't
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 3: bring it out once a month anymore. I think they
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 3: do like maybe six issues a year and honestly, I've
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 3: still got I've got a few issues that it's like
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 3: still in the plastic because everything is everything is online.
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 3: Also the articles are online.
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 5: Like the idea of knowing one day you'll get to
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 5: it or is it sure?
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 3: There will be times and it was like, you know,
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 3: when I'm going out for lunch or whatever, just I'm
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 3: going out for a bit of a solo lunch or whatever,
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 3: and I want to have something to read. I'll take
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 3: this with me, get a burger or something and just
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 3: have that going on. But yeah, oh, another way, I've
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 3: got those big plastic containers. I've got about six or
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 3: seven of those full of magazines from going back to
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 3: the nineties. Something I just decided to keep. It's like
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 3: you've opened them, I just haven't. Oh yeah, yeah about yeah,
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 3: I've told you. I threughout my massive box of Oh
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 3: what was the movie magazine from the UK? Wasn't Empire
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 3: Total Film. Maybe it was Empire Magazine. It was something else,
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure because Empire was from the UK. We
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 3: had an Australian version for a while. Maybe it was Empire.
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 5: Anyway, it was just like from nineteen ninety three it
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 5: was every issue from nineteenninety three through to nineteen ninety eight.
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 3: I'm like, why did I throw these out? Well, there
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 3: was one other mag called called Details, which is kind
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 3: of like the gen X version of GQ or Esquire,
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 3: and I had you know, fashion spread and celebrity profiles
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 3: and all that kind of stuff. I haven't checked them
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 3: out in years, but I remember maybe back around twenty
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 3: ten or so, I had one afternoon of just like
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 3: flicking through them and it was just, honestly like an
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 3: acid flashback or jumping into a time machine. How good
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 3: of like the ads and stuff? Oh yeah, and these
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 3: were all they were all really thick because you know,
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 3: they had a shit ton of advertising and subsequently they
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 3: had a lot of money to pay journalists. I thought
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 3: that guy that was getting half a million or whatever,
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 3: Oh goodness, Yeah, yeah, I think I put some I
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 3: put it any thing up on Facebook recently about some
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 3: guy who used to work for Vanity Fan magazine who
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 3: he said he wrote something like three long articles per year,
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 3: like ten thousand word articles, but he got paid something
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 3: like close to half a mil.
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 5: What's the biggest paycheck you ever got for one piece?
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 3: For one piece? Oh gosh? Or you more paid by
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 3: the month. I think I was more paid by yeah,
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 3: by the shift or by the word yeap. Yeah. Then
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 3: I never really sort of got paid for individual pieces
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 3: like that.
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 5: But marj reveal to Lisa the family the Bouvier family quilt,
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 5: and Lisa's smells historic. This for me, it's trading cards.
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 5: I love to smell something new that that that smell.
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 5: It smells I think it smells my favorite sense.
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 3: It's like a really memories. Yeah, absolutely it is.
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, five generations of boo Vier women have each added
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 5: their own square to it.
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 5: One was the guy falling back being shot?
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 3: What is that a take? What is that a Yeah?
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 3: That's a reference to a photograph called the Falling Soldiers
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 3: by a guy called Robert Kappa. He's apparently a very
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 3: very well war photographer.
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and it was just, yeah, the ear of the time.
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 5: And as we find out later on, Marges was keep
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 5: on tracking. Don't understand what I meant there. I don't
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 5: understand what it means now. But so she's just she
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 5: showed the quote, and I like the idea that Marge
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 5: has held on to this and it's something that she's
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 5: been wanting to show Lisa for a long time and
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 5: now feels like the right moment. Yeah, a real bonding
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 5: moment between the two of them there, which I thought
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 5: was really really nice. But she says here that you
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 5: know you can't because Lisa's I can't do I can't sew.
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 5: I can't do it, and she's you do. You got
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 5: the memory of a million drop stitches flowing through your veins.
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 5: You just need to develop a callous. And she brags
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 5: about her sewing finger, whichmight at least initially thinks is
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 5: a bit gross, but she learns to go that's a
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 5: pretty cool talent.
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 3: The whole threatening thing is very cool. Yeah, I must
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 3: have been. I thought it was a little gross too,
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 3: just the pricking of that.
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 5: Oh you've got to count I used to have that
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 5: when I play guitar.
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 3: You couldn't. I thought my fingers were all hard from
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 3: the strings. I think it's the one thing that it's
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 3: the one thing that's stopping me from playing guitar, other
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 3: than my lack of told me back and my LA commitment.
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 3: It's like it's gonna hurt my fingers to keep strimming
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 3: like this.
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 5: I've had the idea for a while, not a family quilt,
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 5: but a family recipe book where members of the family,
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 5: everyone's got their specialty dish, right, but have them write
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 5: it out on a piece of paper and like scan
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 5: it in and creates this book where each generation you
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 5: add a new page to it.
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 3: It's a very good idea. I've heard you mentioned this
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 3: in the past. It was a good idea then, and
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 3: I think it's still not bad.
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 5: Homer's buying this is magazines, and the other ones include
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 5: non threatening boys says in Oh yes, brag, it's just
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 5: say no teen scheme punk his back. Apparently we get
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 5: Corey on the covered Martin Sheen's teen scene, ha teen Spleen.
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 5: It's various other magazines. Howe is annoy the two dollar price?
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 3: Haang. I was like, buddy, oh man, what a time
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 3: to be alive. Two dollars for a magazine. Eat that
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 3: shit up.
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 5: But the worker mocks him, and yeah, was wise, guys
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 5: what he says to him here. But then he sees
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 5: the assassins in the window. But there aree hundred and
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 5: twenty five dollar which I believe is about three hundred
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 5: bucks US. Now, okay, yeah, it's got quite a bit
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 5: a lot of money for shoes. Oh yeah, maybe even more. Yeah,
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 5: suppose it's good for good shoes.
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 3: Are these good shoes or that is flamboyant shoes? I
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 3: think they're just Yeah, they're flamboyant shoes.
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the shoes that everyone's got them, so I want
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 5: one as well. But hears Flanders in his head saying,
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 5: I know you should take that, you should buy them.
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 5: Treat yourself, treat yourself. I'm ordering you to order these shoes.
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 5: And it's almost like it's a self justification for himself
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 5: to blame Flanders. Oh sure, I Flanner's told me. Whatever
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 5: you say, Flanders. But Margin shows Lisa her keep on
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 5: truck and patch because saying she didn't know what it
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 5: meant then it means now, but drops off the homework
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 5: for her funn functions vocabulary remedia or reading nice tried
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 5: by Barton, try to sit that one under the radar,
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 5: try to give her his own homework. And then Homer
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 5: arrives wearing the assassins and bart let's the price slip.
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 6: Thanks who assassin read him? And weel it's a very
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 6: elaborate sneaker.
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 2: A jetter be for one hundred and twenty five big one.
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 6: Day twenty five dollars. Homer, I thought we agreed to
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 6: consult each other before any major purchases.
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 8: Well, you bought all of smoke of Arms and we
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 8: haven't had a single fire.
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 5: That just feels like classic Simpsons.
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 3: Yes, that's that feels like I like the outer edge
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 3: of not jerk Homer, but the kind of selfishification.
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 5: Yes, selfishness, but it's not hurting anybody really, it's just silliness.
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 5: If anything, it's a dumb ass argument to me. You
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 5: don't you don't actually think that he believes it. But
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 5: this is what So this is what that defines irresponsible
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 5: behavior from Homer A season two I was mentioning earlier
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 5: him buying shoes. It's a far cry from the season
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 5: ten to fifteen episodes where he just does out landy shit.
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 5: But it's also for me watching Homie here and seeing
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 5: the way marjorieted it. For me, it's the dangers of
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 5: after pay, because for me, after pay it was one
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 5: of those things where because Nicholas checks the bank statement,
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 5: so I'm like, I want to buy something that's worth
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 5: like like a DVD's well at thirty five forty bucks,
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 5: I'm like, I'll put it on after pay because then
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 5: she went, see that I've got the JBI high fire.
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 5: It's the dangerous road to go down my front door.
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I am almost on zero after pay at the moment.
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 3: That's good.
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 5: Keep it there, I said to Nicola. Once we've got
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 5: down to zero, I'm understalling it.
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 3: Okay, that's one I'm keeping on because I don't have
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 3: credit cards for anything, and neither do we. Yeah, I've
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 3: never had them. They won't let me. Well, that's true.
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 3: There is also that, but yeah, Margaret Mary the other
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 3: day was saying how things going financially.
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 5: And as always, Mum say, it was always yes, since
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 5: you're asking, But you know, I sort of had to
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 5: she says, this because you're going through a purse at
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 5: the time.
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 3: It's correct, but I sort I had to break it down.
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 3: So look, I've never had credit cards, you know, I don't.
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 3: I even in stronger financial times like oh, I just
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 3: don't want to have that.
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 5: It's pressure, isn't it?
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 4: That?
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 5: That pressure and the freedom It seems like freedom to
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 5: purchase things, but it's not.
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 3: And after pay seems at the track work. Yeah, but
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 3: I won't uninstalled. I'm I'm kind of I'm a fan
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 3: of after pay. I can control it. It doesn't control me.
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 3: It's just a fun way to say after pay. Well sure,
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 3: except now they've got something called before pay, which I
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 3: don't I think is a different company. I don't think
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 3: it's from the same people. It's silly, but it sounds
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 3: like payday loans before pay. Yeah, hey, goods.
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 5: The sounds a little Helpers flicking through different stations here
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 5: where we discover it setus or help. We're just going
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 5: through different channels. We have the news report of the
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 5: Babysitter bandit from the final episode of Someone Chanted Evening,
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 5: who was originally going to be It was the first
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 5: episode that returned. I think it was going to be
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 5: the usual pilot of the Simpsons. But it looks so
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 5: terrible that they had to replace the director with David
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 5: Silman and saved the episode. But Someone Chanted, even Lucille
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 5: or BUTTSGAUSI the babysit a band that me see. Krusty
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 5: is on a talk show.
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 3: Joe. What's the guy's name, Joe Franklin.
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 5: I believe is it Joe Franklin they mentioned on the commentary, Actually, yeah,
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 5: we believe it's Joe Franklin.
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 3: Who is Joe Franklin, a talk show host in the
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 3: United States. So you know, I just know the name. Yeah,
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 3: I want to say those guys were a dime a dozen,
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 3: but there were plenty of them.
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 5: Joe Franklin, American hosts and television actor. Okay, so yeah,
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 5: what did you show finish?
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 3: You know, like we're talking about things that would be
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 3: on in the afternoon, like talk shows and chat shows. Yeah,
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 3: I guess the name that we might know in Australia,
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 3: although it's very sort of old fashion, Nerve Griffin is
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 3: one of them. Of course, you had your late night
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 3: guys like Carson and all that. I think, you know,
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 3: if you're operating during the day, it meant you were
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 3: kind of like in the reserves or the B team,
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 3: unless you were really really sort of good at it,
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 3: like Donaghue or whatever or Oprah. Oprah was the daytime
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 3: he late tried, Everyone tried. I mean, well, Ellen was
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 3: there forever. Now it's Drew Drew. Yeah, I can't watch Drew.
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 3: It makes me cringe.
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 5: Cringey, isn't it. It's like they say something in motion
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 5: and that just gives him a cuddle and I'm like,
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 5: what are we doing here?
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you what Drew is doing.
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 5: They can bank. Yeah, this is Joe Franklin. You're right, Yeah,
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 5: so Crusty's on Joe Franklin show. I think he said
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 5: something of yours the only show that I will do.
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 5: And then we go duft beer commercial re use footage
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 5: of Troy Mclaw from They Can't Believe they invented it
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 5: and it was actually done by Dan.
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I was about to say that, Yeah, it was bizarre.
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 3: Do they actually have a little sign on the back
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 3: saying Troy Mclaw or does the person say that the
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 3: drum mclauk But it's but he wasn't the established Troum
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 3: mcclaw character yet. Yeah, it was like, I'm try McClure. Yeah,
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 3: so that was a better fill. Hum.
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 5: Yes, And then he notices the assassins in the wardrobe.
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 5: And I really appreciated here in this scene where they're
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 5: flicking through the little details of the volume just randomly
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 5: going up because it's obviously his teeth touched on the
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 5: volume button, the vogue button goes after. It's little things
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 5: like that.
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 3: Hobe.
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 5: He comes downstairs and finds the massacre, screams no, and
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 5: all the neighborhood dogs back as well, Like I can
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 5: see how it is frustrated here because he genuinely he
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 5: made the effort to keep them away from the dog
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 5: by putting them in the in the top shelf of
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 5: the wardrobe.
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 3: So and alot. I think he took it pretty well. Yeah,
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 3: you would take it. You would take it personally, like
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 3: Michael Jordan, when when you've made the effort to put
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 3: a lid on the food or put the shoes on
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 3: the top shelf or whatever, and it still happened, still
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 3: happens like this shit on purpose. There's a dog behavior,
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 3: there's a there's I've got you've got a.
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 5: Grudge against him taking this personal indeed, Yes, But I
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 5: don't think though, because I think it took it quite well.
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 5: I don't think Homer yelling at the dog is really
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 5: what this episode needed, because as you were saying, yes,
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 5: there cost a lot of money, but that's his fault
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 5: for spending money on their shoes and then they're just shoes,
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 5: and I don't think we wanted to see sales. Little
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 5: help it getting be rated for shoes. The quilt was
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 5: something different, You're right, quilt meant something to everybody home
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 5: and then chains upsetenters will help with a bigger lock,
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 5: and marcha just obedient school. That's always your answer for everything.
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 5: It's part, says the various classes we have east Side
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 5: rough Form School, Professor Von Bows's Sanitarium for Dogs. We
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 5: taught a dog to drive it, says doctor Marvin Monroe's
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 5: Canine Therapy Institute. Your dog isn't the problem, you are.
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 5: And then she settles on Emily Winthrop's Canine College. And
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 5: I just think that the I love that the dog
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 5: in the ad for the sanitarium one was literally wearing
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 5: a straight jacket as a great job here of showcasing
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 5: the different approaches to training a dog, saying you're the problem,
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 5: or others are saying that we need to be really
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 5: strict with them.
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, some tough love, some gentle parent, Yeah yeah.
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 5: Moving the blame, shifting the blame and whatnot. But we're
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 5: now at the college and Emily blows this silent whistle
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 5: that no one can hear but the dogs in here,
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 5: shuts all the dogs up, and Martin and Jacques are
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 5: there bowling structor missed also as Sam from the Barflives.
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 5: He's there as well as one of the characters. So
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 5: she gives them all toffees, and she refers to sat
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 5: as little help, her Satan's little help. And you think
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 5: that's just planting the seeds of where this is going
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 5: to be going.
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 7: Ladies and gentlemen, most of you already know like, with
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 7: a little love and confession in your poppy will grow
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 7: up to be God, a little bundle of joy, stone
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 7: and nonsense, taught by Charlatan's and learned by bloody twits.
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 7: Let me tell you the two most important words you
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 7: will ever hear in your life.
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 6: Choke chain.
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 7: You'll raise the dog the same way you would raise
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 7: a child, with simple or pricitive commands. You don't followed
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 7: by immediate correction.
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 2: Well, how can we tell if we're doing this maneuver effectively?
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 7: The dog's eyes will cross and his tongue will protrude
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 7: and change color ever so slightly.
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 2: Is my dog dead name?
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 3: You don't know how often I've asked it.
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 7: Chook chain is a misnoma.
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 3: Trust me. They are always breathing.
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 5: But it's kind of kind of confused. He He's like, well,
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 5: I've been told I have to come in. This must
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 5: be the right thing to do. But he doesn't like it.
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 3: It's well, the thing is this woman's an authority figure. Yeah,
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 3: and also British. Yes, trust him.
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 5: Marge and Lisa are watching the stories and it's pretty
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 5: it's pretty full on right that it seems somewhat unrealistic
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 5: that Marge would let Lisa watched his. But in nineteen
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 5: ninety one we didn't have replays, we didn't have streaming.
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 5: If you missed your stories, missed your story. So she's like, well,
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 5: Lisa's home, I have to look after her. Fuck it,
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 5: she's gonna have to watch it goes. I'm not missing
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 5: this story. I really need to see what is it that?
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 5: Because Brandy's coming out of her coma and she knows
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 5: that the Phony Prince's body is hidden in the boathouse,
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 5: I need to know what happens with this. Meanwhile, the
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 5: dog chases Snowball two into the room, sees Lisa's lollipop,
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 5: con visit it for a chicken, steals it runs off
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 5: with it that Lisa asks, what are we gonna do
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 5: mum if he doesn't learn anything in Marge is like,
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 5: I don't know, and as again playing the Seeds of Marche.
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 5: She doesn't want to get rid of the dog. But
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 5: she's like, I don't know what we're going to do.
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 5: I don't know what else we can possibly do here.
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 5: This dog is just ruining everything, Father McGrath, He returns
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 5: McGrath gra anyway returns down that you were, Dad, I was,
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 5: And then we get the montage of but failing to
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 5: get Sand's little helper to learn anything at the college,
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 5: whilst all the other dogs are just excelling at everything.
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 5: She's had something the unity on the floor you entered
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 5: like a hose that a fire. She's literally now as
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 5: punishing bart though too, which in turn, I feel like
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 5: this approach creates resentment between owner and pet. Oh, yeah, absolutely,
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 5: because you're not learning. I'm now being punished.
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm catching the heat for this. Yeah.
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 5: Over attempts to return the shoes. You're gonna give it
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 5: a crack, right. The worst I can say is no,
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 5: But he says, my faithful dog was bringing the shoes,
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 5: but they fell apart in his mouth.
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 3: I had this recent well not quite this, but I
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 3: returned a shirt to a high end country road.
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 5: No, no, no, no.
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 3: I went up to David Jones in Melbourne with tag,
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 3: without tag, with tag, but I'd thrown out the tag.
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 3: See what can you throw it at? I bought this okay,
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 3: I bought this shirt. You mean throw at the receipt?
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 3: You mean no, No, I'd thrown at the tag. I
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 3: bought the shirt, but it wasn't the size that I. Well,
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 3: I thought it was the size I needed, so I'd
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 3: cut off the tag, thrown the tag away, and I'd
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 3: try on the shirt. It's like, oh, man, no, this
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 3: is this is the size too small. If I if
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 3: I crashed out, I can fit into it whatever so
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 3: and but then I found out, oh no, I can
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 3: get a size larger from this other place. But then
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 3: the tag was in the in the rubbish, and plus
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 3: other rubbish got on top of it and it was gross.
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 3: I had like coffee stained on it or something. So
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 3: I did get it out blow. I took the shirt
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 3: and my two cents. And I don't think i'd actually
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 3: bought the shirt from David Jones. I bought it from
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 3: somewhere else, but David Jones was the place that had
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 3: it in a high yeah, so I took it after
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 3: I said, oh, yeah, this shirt's not quite right? Is everything?
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 3: I don't have the receipt. Sorry, but here's the tag
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 3: and everything like that. Can I exchange it for seven?
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 3: She's looking at me like, let's do it this tag.
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 3: I'm like, so I got it. She'd let you do it.
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 3: She let him shirt? Good man, I did all right.
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 5: So the tag was separated from the shirt. The tag
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 5: was definitely separated from the shirt.
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, she's probably thinking, I'm.
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 5: Just gonna say whatever I can get. Gut had in
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 5: my store. I was no one's this fucked up.
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 3: I was doing the one hundred, the same guy, Davis
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 3: charm of fansive. It's like, what a day? How's things
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 3: going here? Anyway? Weather? How about those cats? Anyway? But
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 3: I got the shirt and there But anyway.
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 5: The upshot was I got my shirt. That's that's the
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 5: That's what we all wanted to hear.
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 3: And then I was in David Jones maybe like three
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 3: weeks later and going through that same section, and I
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 3: saw that shirt on the on the rack, and I
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 3: saw the tag on it, and still it all those
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 3: same stains reattached to it. They read.
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 5: Someone's out there with a David Jones shirt. That's been
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 5: Oh that's crazy, But have you ever worn the shirt?
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 5: I think i'd put it on, so you wore the shirt,
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 5: but then I'll do the tag out and then return
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 5: that motherfucker.
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 3: That's true, the perfect cray that I'm now confessing to

• 1:49:37
  Speaker 3: you will go in. It's like he does have a
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 3: free banana or an apple for the kids. It's like,
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 3: I've never seen a grown up do it, but I'd
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 3: like to. I would probably be the first I've done it.
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 3: Have you be an apple? Yeah? Okay, grab a banana?
• 1:49:48

  Speaker 3: the edge of twelve? It's like, oh no, I'll I
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 3: was taking his job seriously.
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 5: I thought the guy here in the shoe store was
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 5: almost like an earlier version we discussed Wise Guy, almost
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 5: an early version of Squeaky Voice team.
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 3: A little bit too yeah, I mean, also combined with
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 3: the archetypal Simpsons slacker voice, you know when they go
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 3: to a music festival or another. We don't really cover
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 3: the acts of Dog, so it's all not too much
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 3: difference between him and Otto. This version of Otto, certainly
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 3: in this episode, Yeah, wasn't ye man, It was more
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 3: like here he dude. Yeah, it wasn't really steering into
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 3: the keep on dragging sores. That mean no one knows.
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 5: So to this day, Homer is writing the letter property
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 5: of Homer J. Simpson hands off.
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 3: This is my cookie.
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 5: Of course that doesn't fit into the cookie jar, but
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 5: we get the POV the point of view from the
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 5: dog and its predator vibes. He sees the cookie and
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 5: he of course takes it. Yes, Lisa is now showing
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 5: Marge the passion that she has made for the quilt,
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 5: and it's the two two biggest musical influences in her life,
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 5: Mister Lago and Bleeding Gums Murphy.
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 3: She also has a callous as well. We get the
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 3: eighteen moment, which I thought was a nice sort of touch.
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 3: You would like that.
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the dog is drinking out of the toilet. He's
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 5: walking around and he sees the quilt and you go,
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 5: oh shit. And March's home and come see what Lisa
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 5: has done. And they find the dog just chewing up
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 5: the quilt and six generations ruined, and you really feel
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 5: so for much. Yeah, oh god, Yeah, this is probably
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 5: the most one of the most important things. She hasn't
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 5: seen why someone that really wants for much and this,
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 5: but this is really important to her for good reason,
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 5: and it's now gone.
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 3: Do you have any fairly family heirlooms or something that
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 3: was like important to your family that you broke or
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 3: that you damaged in some.
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 5: Way, family elms that are broke, And I have any
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 5: knowledge of family earms that are broke. I do have
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 5: things that were given to me by like my nan
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 5: or my uncle Jock that Elliott has like dropped and
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 5: sort of cracked or.
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 3: Broken off gone.
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 5: I've managed to keep that fine for like thirty years,
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 5: Like Jock gave it to me when I was a
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 5: little kid, and you had it for like ten seconds
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 5: and you fucking dropped it.
• 1:51:50
  Speaker 3: Can't be angry at you. You just to keep this,
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 3: like god damn it.
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, there was a rock that had like opal on
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 5: it and it's I don't think they's even worth an it,
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 5: but Uncle Joh gave it to me when I was
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 5: a kid. He's like, yeah, I found this when I
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 5: went to some country like.
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 3: Africa or whatever.
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 5: And I was like, that's cool. I've just kept this
• 1:52:06
  Speaker 5: rock on my shelf from my rooms wherever I move.
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 5: I've always had this rock, and now I had it
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 5: in the garage. He's like, what's this And as I
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 5: put it down, please, and he fucking dropped it and
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 5: just shattered, and I was like, don't touch things as
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 5: you It's really there the moments that challenge you as
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 5: a parent, where you go you've got to go through
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 5: all the options in your head really quickly because you've
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 5: any got you know, it's got a few seconds, a
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 5: few seconds to react, and what you do is gonna
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 5: leave a lasting impression is yell, do I explain? And
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 5: you want to just fucking erupt, but it's like, keep cool,
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 5: explain why. But when they do it again, that's why
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 5: I try to say to Elliott, I'll only get angry
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 5: if I've told you not to do something you know
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 5: you're not supposed to do it, and then you do
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 5: it again. Yes, then I don't still don't erupt because
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 5: you don't want to be that rah rah. But sometimes
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 5: kids need to know that you're the boss. Yeah you've
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 5: said this, Yeah, but yeah, so you broke any family
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 5: islands not broken. I just broke that broke the tradition
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 5: of footballs in the family.
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 3: I broke the father son.
• 1:53:06
  Speaker 8: Uh.
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 3: I think I probably mentioned this on one of our
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 3: shows in the past, but we had this beautiful old
• 1:53:14
  Speaker 3: sort of like Art Deco style, no, not really out,
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 3: like a nineteen fifty style map of the world, like
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 3: a big framed one. I think it was from Quantus.
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 3: It was like something out of Madman. It was like
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 3: something to see in Don Draper's office. And for some reason,
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 3: when I was a kid, I had a sticker of
• 1:53:33
  Speaker 3: something from Geelong. I think you have mentioned this story,
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 3: and I stuck it over, like, oh, here's Geelong, and
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 3: I think the second I did, I realized, well, that
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 3: fucks everything up, and I tried to peel off and
• 1:53:46
  Speaker 3: it was like I was starting to peel off the
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 3: fabric or whatever the paper. I was like, well, I
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 3: fuck this. I would have done this shit forty five
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 3: years ago, a lot long long time. It feels weird
• 1:54:01
  Speaker 3: to say it's one of the great regrets of my life.
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 3: But I feel like I fucking, you know, threw a
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 3: mustache on the moan of Lisa or something. I was
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 3: so angry with myself. Yeah, and I don't think I
• 1:54:11
  Speaker 3: don't think the folks really minded that much. And when
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 3: it was up in my room, you just can't let
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 3: it bother you. No, I mean, I don't know where
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 3: it is now. I don't think we kept it. We'll
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 3: probably throw it out of because well, this thing's fucking wrong. Thanks.
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 3: But yeah, till this day, i'm kind of like.
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 5: It was the point of that. Yeah, but it seemed
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 5: like a good idea at the time.
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 3: You were just a kid. Yeah, yeah, so angry. I
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 3: need to take you to obedience school. That's true anyway.
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 5: But it's chewed up at the quilt and yeah, it's
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 5: just terrible and homes trying to comfort March. Look, we
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 5: all love that quilt. It's fine until he sees the cookie.
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 5: And I thought this was selfish ridiculous but also funny.
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 3: Again. Yeah, we're pushing the outer limits of his sort
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 3: of selfishness, pushing it to slightly ridiculous levels. But yeah,
• 1:54:59
  Speaker 3: I think we all been there where it's kind of like, oh,
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 3: you know, it's not so bad, it's not so bad,
• 1:55:03
  Speaker 3: but you know, the minute it gets personal for you, yeah,
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 3: oh wait a minute.
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 5: And I think we've all had a moment in our
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 5: lives at least once where there is a bit of
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 5: food left overs from the night before or something at
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 5: home or whatever that you've just been looking forward to.
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, certainly, and you come home and someone else
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 5: is eating it or drunk it, and you're like, I
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 5: know it's just food, but.
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 3: I really wanted it.
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 5: It's very like sometimes Nicholas say, I love rossotto, which
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 5: just say cooking rostta for dinner, and then it'll get
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 5: to like tea time. She go, I don't really feel
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 5: like cooking it, and I'm like, I'm not going to
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 5: make you cook food.
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 3: I really wanted it looking for it all day. How
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 3: dare you be tired? How dare you? But it's fine?
• 1:55:49
  Speaker 5: Then I of course here, Look I love dogs. But
• 1:55:52
  Speaker 5: if this happened to me I'd probably reassess my options
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 5: as well, because I don't know. I like to think
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 5: I wouldn't want to ever get I don't think I
• 1:55:59
  Speaker 5: have could bring myself. If I have a pet, I
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 5: would never be able to get rid of it and
• 1:56:02
  Speaker 5: not have it anymore. But man, I would be pretty
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 5: angry if my pet ruled a family, earl them like this.
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 5: We can say it's there for for living on the bed,
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 5: but it shouldn't. You should be able to leave it
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 5: on the bed.
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 3: You know, something like that. Absolutely, Yeah, yeah, my food.
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 3: You can kind of understand. Shoes, I guess does some
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 3: degree feel like something that gets chewed a lot? But yeah,
• 1:56:24
  Speaker 3: something like a quill. It's like, no way, man.
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 5: But Homer calls for the family meeting, so it's time
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 5: to go. Not gonna happen, You gotta go. But even
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 5: Lisa says we can't. She can't bear to let him go,
• 1:56:35
  Speaker 5: and Marge degrees, Look, she agrees with Homer. You think
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 5: Margine can agree with it with List, But I think
• 1:56:39
  Speaker 5: that's important when you're a parent, you've got to back
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 5: each other up. And I think having the quilt get
• 1:56:44
  Speaker 5: destroyed made Marjor realize, Look, we exhausted our options here.
• 1:56:47
  Speaker 5: This is like probably what we're gonna have to go down.
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 5: This is the route we have to go down. But
• 1:56:50
  Speaker 5: please that if he passes the training can be Please
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 5: keep him.
• 1:56:54
  Speaker 2: No way, you can't give my dog away. I'll sit
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 2: by my hair sugar in the gas caboard. I've suffered
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 2: as much as anyone at the pause of this dog.
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 2: When I look into his vacant brown eyes, I just
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 2: can't bear to let him go. I'm sure Mom agrees
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 2: with me.
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 6: No, I'm afraid I agree with your father.
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 3: You do ha ha?
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 6: Oh Please, it's not just the quilt. He's a nice dog,
• 1:57:20
  Speaker 6: but he chews up everything. He doesn't obey. He's not
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 6: even housebroken. And we've spent all this money on an
• 1:57:26
  Speaker 6: obedience school and I don't see any improvement.
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 2: All right, all right, he sent us Little Hooper studies
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 2: real hard and pusses his venoles and becomes a perfect dog.
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 2: Can we keeping them?
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 6: No, this is our pet.
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 2: We can question his integrity and disposition, but we can't
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 2: question his heart.
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 3: Are you trying to teach.
• 1:57:46
  Speaker 2: Us that the way to solve a problem with something
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 2: you love is to throw it away?
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 3: Oh? Please, if they're ever going to pull the plug
• 1:57:56
  Speaker 3: on me.
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 8: I want you in my corner, honey.
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 6: All right, if he passes obedient score, we can keep.
• 1:58:03
  Speaker 3: On yay right.
• 1:58:05
  Speaker 5: I thought this was a lovely moment, felt real. Homer
• 1:58:07
  Speaker 5: and Marge's anger was justified, understandable from the kids perspective,
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 5: it's how can you do this? This is our pres
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 5: our best friend. It was nice that Bart was lucky
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 5: enough to have Lisa in his corner to protest for him,
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 5: because advocate advocate for him, because he wasn't gonna be
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 5: able to convince them that she did it for him.
• 1:58:24
  Speaker 5: But I thought it was very nice. Bart is trying
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 5: to teach that a little helper at the school, just
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 5: trying to teach him to roll over, just all no success.
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 5: Notice's in the KJO section. Yeah, she gives Bart a toffee,
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 5: just mocking him. Really, isn't she a good job?
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 3: Have a toffee?
• 1:58:36
  Speaker 5: Homer and Marge are writing the ad to give away
• 1:58:39
  Speaker 5: Sanders little helper. March just maybe we should wait till
• 1:58:41
  Speaker 5: after he's failed, and he's like, no, no, we've got
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 5: to commit. And from the writers as well, they've got
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 5: to commit. We've got to see that they're committed to this.
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 5: Otherwise we won't believe it, because I think I would
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 5: have believe they would have given away the dog. So
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 5: they write the note free to get home, world's most
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 5: brilliant dog, says I love you in command time, just
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 5: go with it. We'll we'll fix it on the fly.
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 5: But is still struggling at the at the school. We're
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 5: getting to follow basic commands. This is not looking good
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 5: at all. And as where Homer calls or gets a
• 1:59:08
  Speaker 5: phone call I think from a potential buyer, the new owner,
• 1:59:11
  Speaker 5: and he fools him you he thinks, pretends that he's
• 1:59:12
  Speaker 5: a dog on the phone saying I love you, and
• 1:59:14
  Speaker 5: he's excited. Now we're gonna get rid of this dog.
• 1:59:17
  Speaker 5: It seems home it's excited to get rid of the dog,
• 1:59:18
  Speaker 5: but you know, deep down he's not gonna He doesn't
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 5: want to get rid of him. Now they're trying to
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 5: teach the boys the dogs sorry, to stay away from
• 1:59:25
  Speaker 5: the beef Wellington, and you can hear the pain. I
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 5: thought Nancy was great. Here the pain in Bart's voice
• 1:59:29
  Speaker 5: trying to say no, stay, stay, please, I love you,
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 5: don't do this, and he just does it anyway. Meanwhile,
• 1:59:35
  Speaker 5: the new owner comes to check on Santa's Little Helper
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 5: and plans to use him to pull carts and not
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 5: just for mules, and Homer says, you can pick him
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 5: up tomorrow and you can hear the crack and his
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 5: voices it to say, well, I guess this is happening.
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 5: You know, I guess this is what we're going to
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 5: be doing. Then missus Winthrop is reading her magazine and interrupting,
• 1:59:52
  Speaker 5: Sands little Helper says, and he sits on his lap.
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 5: He's just he's just a dog. Man's of all the dogs,
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 5: I probably want sat as little help. But if he
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 5: wasn't doing shit, he seems like the most lovable one
• 2:00:00
  Speaker 5: of all of them. But it's not working for Bart.
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 5: You just can't get the dog to get through, and
• 2:00:04
  Speaker 5: he please to her, look, you're getting me paid anyway,
• 2:00:06
  Speaker 5: can you just pass him? And I can see it
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 5: from Emily's perspective, it's like, yes, I ain't getting paid,
• 2:00:11
  Speaker 5: but I also have a reputation too, and it's obviously
• 2:00:14
  Speaker 5: succeeding because everyone's going to her school. I did really
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 5: enjoy also, the delivery of Heavens to Merca fright.
• 2:00:22
  Speaker 3: It's so dramatic.
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 5: It's a Snagglepuss saying yes it is. Indeed, Yeah, I
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 5: love that guy, you do indeed, yep is he stage
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 5: left stage.
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 7: The world does not need another college graduate who doesn't
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 7: know how to sick.
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 1: He'll sit, He'll sit.
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 2: Come on, boy, sick sick blah blah.
• 2:00:43
  Speaker 3: Pulling huh correct the dog.
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 2: I don't want to strangle my dog. Blood it boy, Sorry, boy,
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 2: you can't help being dumb.
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 5: This is the moment that makes people not want to
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 5: watch this episode because they really just don't like this moment.
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 5: But I think it needed this moment for the emotional
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 5: payoff at the end is Bart has gone through everything.
• 2:01:11
  Speaker 5: He is so desperate to want to keep the dog.
• 2:01:13
  Speaker 5: He's like, well, will this work? And as soon as
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 5: he does it, you just he doesn't regret. He apologizes,
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 5: and it's just it's horrible, it's horrifying, and yeah, it's
• 2:01:21
  Speaker 5: not good at all. But then Marge finds Lisa making
• 2:01:23
  Speaker 5: her own quilt and she says, as you were saying earlier,
• 2:01:25
  Speaker 5: it's one thing to be a link in a chain,
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 5: it's another to start one of your own. And her
• 2:01:29
  Speaker 5: patch commemorates the destruction of the original quilt.
• 2:01:33
  Speaker 3: Just the perfect ending. Good for you.
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 5: I think it was great. Yeah, fantastic enter that arc.
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 5: Then we get barred again in the backyard. It's nighttime
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 5: the night before and Bart is trying to teach him
• 2:01:43
  Speaker 5: to sit and it's just not getting through, and Lisa
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 5: arise and says, look, stop torturing yourself and him. Just
• 2:01:47
  Speaker 5: enjoy your last night together. And I think that's why
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 5: I was watching it going. I was kind reminds me
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 5: of I knew Jet was going the next day, and
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 5: I'm like, just enjoy being with him, just enjoy that
• 2:01:56
  Speaker 5: he's here. Kept saying to Elliott in the last week,
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 5: Aliot say, I want to go do this, So I'm like, mate,
• 2:02:01
  Speaker 5: enjoy yet, because once he's gone, he's not he's gone,
• 2:02:04
  Speaker 5: you know, enjoy these last few moments here and and
• 2:02:08
  Speaker 5: but here. So a really nice little montage. She not
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 5: thrown the frisbee and just a kid in his best
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 5: friend essentially. Yeah, and she throw at least throws the
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 5: ball though, and he doesn't get it.
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 3: So clearly.
• 2:02:18
  Speaker 5: The moment further emphasizes to me that when she came
• 2:02:20
  Speaker 5: to the dog's defense during the fight, she was more
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 5: doing it for Bart's sake than her own. Sat as
• 2:02:25
  Speaker 5: little helper finally understands the words sit though, and as
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 5: silly and as sort of cliche as it is for
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 5: me as a fist pump moment.
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 3: If you're a dog lover, you're like, yes, finally, yes.
• 2:02:35
  Speaker 5: He's getting through, and it's it's I really really liked it.
• 2:02:38
  Speaker 5: And as I said, this episode really takes on the
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 5: emotional rollercoaster. He shows his talent to Emily.
• 2:02:42
  Speaker 3: Then he really does learn very quickly to pick up
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 3: on just about everything.
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, roll over, yeah, and we get the graduation, so
• 2:02:49
  Speaker 5: Emily says, you son up a bitch, and they get
• 2:02:51
  Speaker 5: the home is annoyed at first, but then realizes, oh,
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 5: I do love this dog and start celebrating, and then
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 5: we get the animal house ending. So the various ones
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 5: were Sam's dog but he ran away from home, Martin's dog,
• 2:03:02
  Speaker 5: Lao Suit, the Chinese philosopher who incorporated the concept of
• 2:03:05
  Speaker 5: yin and yang. He what happened to him? I didn't
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 5: actually what he did. He ate a poison toad. Oh,
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 5: that's no good.
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 3: I don't think he died.
• 2:03:14
  Speaker 5: That's no good. And Santas will help a bit Bart
• 2:03:16
  Speaker 5: but Homer didn't mind.
• 2:03:18
  Speaker 3: And that's the end.
• 2:03:18
  Speaker 5: That is the end of Bart's Dog Gets an F.
• 2:03:21
  Speaker 5: So yeah, by no means the funniest episode. But I
• 2:03:24
  Speaker 5: think an important episode an episode that really, when I
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 5: say important, I think it's every sick one, as I said,
• 2:03:29
  Speaker 5: needs an episode that makes you relate and respect and
• 2:03:32
  Speaker 5: love the character. I think this episode does that. It
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 5: definitely does fair. Yeah, all right, so guys, let us
