  Go to concede that bed. No, come on, really, I believe
• 0:04
  in you. What floes from the news does not go on my clothes.

  Four Finger Discount, dude, welcome to fourth Finger Discount of the podcast that
• 0:35
  are certainly adequate, and we're here to review episode j b F zero five.
• 0:40
  It is My fair Laddie. I am Dando, and I am guys
• 0:43
  sitting here comfortably on my complex heinie. All our Hine's somewhat complex. There
• 0:50
  is individual as your fingerprints. I mean, I like to think that I
• 0:55
  could pick your Hinnie out of the lineup, Dando. I but certainly stared
• 0:58
  out long enough. I was a bit nervous going into this episode. I'm
• 1:00
  not gonna lie because you know it's Willy and we all know that you don't
• 1:03
  like the Willie, and you know, I look at this and I was
• 1:06
  like, it's the one that's all about the Willie, and I realized I
• 1:10
  didn't realize I was a kid. I'd revisited this one since I was a
• 1:11
  child, and I didn't realize it was my fair Lady takeoff, and I
• 1:15
  rewatched it. I was like, oh, it's a musical one. He's
• 1:18
  all right, And I actually really enjoyed the song, so I thought it
• 1:21
  was actually a bit of fun. Well look, I mean I don't want
• 1:25
  to be um damn it with faint praise, but nor overpraising. And so
• 1:29
  I will say that the the central song of this episode summed up the episode
• 1:37
  quite perfectly. Wouldn't it be adequate? This is a very adequate episode.
• 1:44
  I mean, it did not disappoint, but nor did it nor did it
• 1:47
  appall? You know, I was, yeah, I was fairly happy with
• 1:52
  it. I mean, yes, I've been. I've gone on the record
• 1:55
  about Yeah, I'm not the hugest fan of grand Keeper Willie. I think
• 1:57
  it can be a bit one note and they're not not necessarily to my palette,
• 2:01
  but I've found his journey in this touching, interesting, compelling. I
• 2:07
  was rooting for the guy, and because I'm always rooting for Willie, and
• 2:14
  you put four in between those two ways, right, that is correct?
• 2:16
  I hope you are hope you all heard that. I hope it's on the
• 2:19
  record that I am in fact rooting for Willie and not anything else, not
• 2:22
  that there's anything wrong with that. American listeners are probably going, the hell
• 2:27
  are they talking about it? It's cheering for Yeah, not many people will
• 2:34
  remember the Mel Gibson nineteen ninety nine action thriller Payback, but the American post
• 2:39
  has got the tagline get ready to root for the bad guy. And when
• 2:44
  the Australian distributors saw that post that are like, we're going to change that
• 2:47
  because routing here means something entirely different. I mean, we know we do
• 2:52
  say root for the root for this route for that, but has has several
• 2:55
  meanings here in the show. It does it does? I think, you
• 2:59
  know, I don't think we'd say go on, get down and get in
• 3:01
  your park and root for Geelong. It's more like, why don't you come
• 3:05
  down and barry for the home team. Yeah, it's funny. It reminds
• 3:07
  me of one of my favorite Simpsons memes. It's the cho Cho Choose you
• 3:10
  Valentine's card for someone put makes it a knt rue and says, i'd ru
• 3:15
  ru rucha Australia classy, classy players. As I was saying earlier though,
• 3:23
  that you know you don't like Willy, and I thought this is going to
• 3:27
  be as a horrific twenty two minutes for guy. But I'm watching this thinking,
• 3:31
  surely he's enjoying this to some extent because this is this isn't the Willy
• 3:35
  that we're used to. Obviously, this is um, you know, he's
• 3:38
  a change man. My fair lady take off. And I thought Willie was
• 3:42
  pretty much when you think of all the springfield, probably the perfect subject when
• 3:46
  you're taking off, my fair lady, what are your thoughts? I would
• 3:49
  think, so, yeah, yeah, because I mean, he is It's
• 3:52
  either him or Mo, isn't it. And we've sort of had Mo made
• 3:55
  over, haven't we? Well maybe maybe clearis Clearis is more like a hill
• 4:00
  Willy though is a bit different, isn't it? That's true? Yeah,
• 4:02
  yeah, And I don't know, I think we've had a little more exposure
• 4:06
  to Willie. Oh my god, there's gonna be so many Willie jokes whatever.
• 4:11
  I didn't even mean that one. That just that just came out,
• 4:14
  if you know what I mean. But I think we know a bit more
• 4:17
  about Willie than we do about Cleetus. I mean, if Willie is one
• 4:21
  note, Cletus is a quarter of one note. Yeah. So I mean
• 4:27
  I think you can definitely have a little room to move in, a little
• 4:30
  room to explore with groundskeeper Willie, whereas of Cletus. I mean you'd have
• 4:34
  a bit of a heavy lifting to do, filling in his backstory and fleshing
• 4:39
  out his personality before you then even changed it. I think a lot of
• 4:44
  the time too. Obviously, I think he has been gradskiper will He's been
• 4:46
  in the show longer than Cleetus has, but a lot from all of Cletus's
• 4:51
  scenes, it's always been a case of us laughing at him. Whilst that
• 4:56
  is the case for Willie as well, I think a lot of the time
• 4:58
  we still have a a chance to laugh with Willie as opposed to just laughing
• 5:02
  at him, because he gets jokes in there sometimes as well, you know
• 5:05
  that greased me up woman, things like that, And I just think we've
• 5:09
  had long time viewers have had more of a chance to be more sympathetic towards
• 5:12
  grand Skipper Willie than they have Cletus. So I think having him as a
• 5:15
  subject, and this one was a far better choice than say Cletus, because
• 5:17
  it clears for me, whilst I've laughed at him, it's I would be
• 5:23
  happy, even by season twelve thirteen to not see Cletus anymore. I just
• 5:26
  don't need it that the joke's been run into the ground. Now, I
• 5:29
  don't need any more clear dis gags. You're one hundred percent right. I
• 5:31
  don't think he doesn't really add anything to the show other than just the occasional
• 5:34
  bump punchline at the expense of you know, some toothless hick. I don't
• 5:39
  think it's necessary. I don't think it adds anything. Oh yeah, he
• 5:42
  could very easily fade into the distance and we'd beat him a not even a
• 5:48
  fond where well, just see you by so long? Do you have many
• 5:51
  memories of My Fair Lady? Have you? You've seen the film? Yeah,
• 5:57
  I mean I guess it's a speaking of someone who sort of grew up
• 6:01
  in the seventies and eighties. It's one of those movies like Wizard of Oz
• 6:05
  or Sound of Music. Felt like a bit of an event when it was
• 6:09
  on. Yeah, it was kind of a big deal. And I think
• 6:12
  it's a longish movie as well as it was one of those ones that have
• 6:15
  to start it a little early in the traditional time, the traditional sort of
• 6:18
  eight thirty movie start. I mean, it's like we're gonna put this on
• 6:20
  a bit earlier so the kids can stay up and watch all of My Fair
• 6:23
  lady, even though any average child is going to go, what what is
• 6:27
  the point? Why why am I watching? Because I do remember it being
• 6:31
  it sounds like a bit of an exaggeration, but it felt almost felt like
• 6:34
  a bit of an event whenever they put Wizard of Oz on a because it
• 6:38
  started a bit earlier, and just because it went for so long, it
• 6:40
  was like, you know, in for a marathon to this movie, throwing
• 6:43
  the movies long, throwing the commercials as well. It drags it out to
• 6:46
  like three four hours. Absolutely it did. Yeah, yeah, But this
• 6:50
  is also one of those musicals, my fair Lady, where some of the
• 6:54
  songs and some of the lines from and just the general story gets repeated so
• 7:00
  much and so often that it sort of you enters into your DNA eventually,
• 7:03
  so you know, you'd find yourself humming, mmm, wouldn't it be lovely?
• 7:09
  All that kind of stuff. So yeah, I mean, it's not
• 7:12
  necessarily a an all time classic or anything like that, but it's certainly one
• 7:16
  that I imagine a lot of people would have fond memories of, certainly of
• 7:21
  my generation. Even if you're not going to count as one of your all
• 7:25
  time favorites, I'm pretty sure wasn't it one of the longest running show stage
• 7:28
  shows. It's certainly with stage shows, yeah, I mean it's I think
• 7:31
  it's one that gets revived every now and again. You know. I think
• 7:35
  Aliza do Little the central character who gets transformed from this very cockney flower girl
• 7:42
  to you know, a lovely lead it m Yeah, it's a real sort
• 7:46
  of meaty role for an actress to really think their teeth into and make the
• 7:53
  most off. It's sexual politics and all that and class politics are very very
• 7:58
  retrograde, I think. I mean, you'd have to give it a bit
• 8:01
  of a onceber I think if you will bring you back in twenty twenty three,
• 8:05
  or you would have to be sort of doing it with a bit of
• 8:07
  a wink. You know. It's like, we don't really think like this
• 8:09
  any more, do we. You know. It's like it's perfectly all right
• 8:11
  for Eliza to you know, speak a bit night act. You know,
• 8:16
  it's probably a bit more. It's probably a bit cooler in all honestly than
• 8:20
  being push or shows like Jordie Shawl certainly helped that exactly right. Another reason
• 8:26
  to justify Willie being the choice for this episode obviously, because whilst he's not
• 8:31
  Cockney. He's got that Scottish accent, so he's from that that side of
• 8:35
  the world, so sort of it falls into place. But yeah, but
• 8:39
  definitely, But yeah, I just thought the Adequate Song in particular, because
• 8:41
  the songs were called Adequate, not on my Clothes, Indoors all Night,
• 8:46
  and Longing for the Shack, they were the force simponized versions of the song
• 8:48
  names. I thought the Adequate Song in particular reminded me of the Sharry Bobbins
• 8:52
  episode. Oh yeah, yeah, I just thought I just had that upbeat
• 8:56
  adequate. Everyone's sort of like happy, they're all I like when the Simpsons
• 9:00
  family or singing the song and getting along together at the same time. It's
• 9:03
  as always, it's always a lot of fun that way. It is nice,
• 9:05
  even if you have to see Homer sitting on the toilet. It's like
• 9:11
  it takes exactly what you need. But you know, as long as everyone's
• 9:13
  part of the fun. Yeah, Look, the My Fair Lady soundtrack is
• 9:18
  of course one of the most popular in you know, sort of Broadway history
• 9:22
  or musical theater history. So yeah, it's only a natural that the Simpsons
• 9:26
  crew, who seemed to be musical theater aficionados would really relish the opportunity to
• 9:31
  put their own stamp on it. Yeah, and they did. Yeah,
• 9:33
  these these were Look, I was taking the mickey a little bit before when
• 9:39
  I said, yea perfectly adequate because these are a little bit above adiquated Shaw,
• 9:41
  we say it's it's I don't think you're disappointed all that. Often when
• 9:48
  the Simpsons decided to throw a few songs into the mix, they usually do
• 9:50
  a pretty darn good job of it, and I think they did so this
• 9:52
  time around. Well, the writer Michael Price, he says he really loved
• 9:56
  to be able to Sicky's teething because he's one of them. He's like the
• 10:00
  aficionado when it comes to stage shows on the Simpsons writing team. So he
• 10:03
  loved writing the songs. But obviously, he said, by the time he
• 10:05
  got to the to the screen, they'd all contributed and rewritten the songs here
• 10:09
  and there. But um, but yeah, I thought he did a really
• 10:11
  good job. I thought Dan in particular, did a good job of Willie's
• 10:13
  voice, making him sound Lardi Da but not sounding too much like Site because
• 10:18
  he does side show mel as well. It could have very easily driven to
• 10:22
  that sort of area, but no, he was um, he kept it.
• 10:24
  It still sounded like Willie, but just more lard. I thought he
• 10:28
  did a really good job of particularly the singing voice as well, because yeah,
• 10:33
  yeah, no, a refined version of of Graund's gable Willie, just
• 10:37
  taking the rough sort of burr edge off it and yeah, but maintaining a
• 10:41
  nice little it's like a very nice single malt goes down smooth. Yeah,
• 10:46
  and as well discussing with our chat with Jeff but Jeff Bosh, the composer
• 10:52
  of Bluey. Congratulations by the way, Jeff job sorry on new Yeah on
• 10:54
  the release of your Blue Volume two, which came out a couple of weeks
• 10:58
  ago to a huge success. It's the vinyl that he was discussing on the
• 11:03
  on the podcast is worth like four or five hundred dollars now and eBay,
• 11:05
  it's hot property. I managed to get my hands on once. I'm very
• 11:09
  happy about that on the on the Zoo type Blue Volume two vinyl. But
• 11:13
  as he was discussing in that ALF class and he's he's dealings with Alf and
• 11:16
  he's the classes he went to. So what they did was they wrote the
• 11:18
  songs. He sent them to Alph and then he rewrote the score for this
• 11:24
  episode because this episode has its own unique score, which I think just think
• 11:26
  it was really fantastic the way he sort of all pieced it altogether, because
• 11:30
  he actually on the Simpson I think it's Simpson's Testified, which is like the
• 11:33
  third Simpsons album of music. You can get the medley on there, and
• 11:37
  he also plays the the medley at the end of the credit. It's just
• 11:39
  all the songs blended into each other, but it's just the music, and
• 11:41
  you just think it's really lovely music. We've said it before, but I
• 11:43
  think we should say it again because it bears repeating. I don't think alf
• 11:46
  Clawson actually gets enough love every though we give him asure of love on this
• 11:52
  show. I mean, he's not a household name, like a John Williams,
• 11:54
  you know what I mean, Like my mum would not not even a
• 11:56
  Danny Elphan exactly. Yeah. Yeah, And I mean, of course Danny
• 12:00
  deserves his flowers for Graham. The Simpsons theme it's iconic, which it's funnily
• 12:05
  enough, so many people don't know that he did that for his movie scores,
• 12:09
  but it's like, no, he you wrote the Simpsons them in about
• 12:11
  fifty minutes on the way home. Oh my god. So when you say
• 12:15
  that to people, it's like he's actually got that going for him as well,
• 12:18
  which is nice. But yeah, Alf sort of ties it all together.
• 12:24
  It seems like he's got a lot more degree of difficulty going on here,
• 12:26
  Alf Clausen, but he just did continually, continuously marvelous work there.
• 12:31
  Yeah, this episode is a really good example of that. I know,
• 12:33
  when we talked to Jim Cummings will saying that, you know, so many
• 12:37
  people say that he's the voice of their childhood, you would argue that,
• 12:39
  no, for a generation of viewers, Alf Clausen created the music of our
• 12:43
  childhood. Like all that background music, it was always there. But you're
• 12:46
  concentrating on the characters and the dialogue, but that music is always there.
• 12:50
  You know, There's something to be said for composers who really leave their mark
• 12:56
  on things. I mean, you mentioned John Williams, of course, Danny
• 12:58
  Elfman. There are many many others, James Horner, there are many others.
• 13:05
  So yeah, it looks so many. Yeah, those are those are
• 13:07
  composers like oh yeah, that's that guy, or that's that composer, and
• 13:13
  I really like their work and there are guys who just sort of do quiet
• 13:18
  work in the background, like I said, stitch it all together. And
• 13:22
  yeah, you may not necessarily know their name, or even if I said
• 13:26
  to you, oh, I'm suddenly by Alf Clawson right now, man,
• 13:30
  of course you'd be able to stop down because you dando guy would probably go,
• 13:37
  I'll get back to you one there, can I can I impress you
• 13:41
  with you like a silly voice instead? Um, but I would say that,
• 13:46
  yeah, the work they do is a lot more difficult and a lot
• 13:50
  more unsung one hundred percent like the Simpsons, for example, Alf as an
• 13:54
  example, he just his music keeps the show going, keeps the show flowing.
• 13:58
  Where like you know, for example, John Williams, it's like,
• 14:01
  hey, we need music that's gonna make everyone think they want to go on
• 14:03
  an adventure. John Williams is saying, welcome to the world. Here it
• 14:05
  is. Yeah, And of course I'm saying, here's the world. I'm
• 14:07
  decorating it for you. Hey, my favorite So what were your favorite moments
• 14:13
  from my fair Laddy? I'm hoping you had some. I had one or
• 14:18
  two, yes, by which I'm into give me what I found The Talking
• 14:24
  Billboard, money Check outside most kind of hot. I'm watching it. This
• 14:28
  just sounds so ridiculous, but I'm just like, I'm watching it. I'm
• 14:33
  like that saying extreme push up bra, and it reminded me for some reason.
• 14:35
  I remember that. I think I've told this story before, so I
• 14:37
  won't. I won't tell the whole story. But I remember saying to Nikola
• 14:39
  it was her birthday. It was our birthday dinner. Sorry, I think
• 14:41
  it might have been our thirty if I thirty first, whatever was close,
• 14:43
  but to that, and I jokingly said to her, she doesn't going out
• 14:46
  to buy a new dress? Wa should I get? And I said,
• 14:48
  I'll get a booby dress just as a joke, right, And she comes
• 14:50
  back. She went shopping with a friend. She come back and she's all
• 14:54
  dressed up, ready to go if for dinner. She comes home in the
• 14:56
  booby dress, boobies pushed up to a bloody chin, not really losing that
• 14:58
  I planned a surprise part. Everyone's like damn, everyone's like surprise, Like
• 15:07
  the surprise was meant to be for nickel where but I said that the dand
• 15:13
  I was just drowned in high fives all night but no, but um,
• 15:16
  but yeah, So I enjoyed that as well. I also really enjoyed them.
• 15:20
  I just enjoyed the end. No, just Willy be Willy. Where
• 15:22
  she do you think it's a sweet moment. I need a moment she leaves.
• 15:26
  I liked it the way it was. What about you? What else
• 15:30
  did you like? One of my other favorite ones was just the whole dessert
• 15:33
  trade thing, just really going to the town and beating up Crusty. Yeah
• 15:37
  it's good from that angle, but it's also good that Crusty is like,
• 15:41
  no, he's not sort of taking his lups, but he's like, oh,
• 15:43
  this is a good bit. He recognizes good material anywhere you can get
• 15:48
  it from desert, willing to steal it whether you say yes or not.
• 15:54
  That's true, taking ownership on it. I thought that was a thought that
• 15:58
  was great fun. Anything else you enjoyed? I like the calendar gag,
• 16:00
  so that's where all my soup wet. That's true. I don't thought they
• 16:04
  did a good job because I too, maybe because I did the show with
• 16:07
  you. Now you sort of maybe dislike Willie, but I mean it's it's
• 16:10
  completely granted your justification for one, we don't like him, But I thought
• 16:14
  it did a good job of building sympathy for him. In the first like
• 16:15
  five ten minutes of this episode, for example, just that in that seen
• 16:19
  in particular where Marge is in the car waiting with but it starts waiting and
• 16:23
  you think, this poor guy's lost his shack. But it's just like by
• 16:26
  the way, you got norm nails. I'm going by and it's like,
• 16:29
  this guy's got absolutely nobody's just sitting there just accepting life. You know,
• 16:32
  well, this is life on the city of the calendar over my head.
• 16:33
  In the rain, I was like, well, God Jesus, it is
• 16:37
  one of the great shorthands to create sympathy for someone being caught in the rain.
• 16:44
  Yeah, I think. I mean, while we carry on a bit
• 16:47
  being stuck in the rain, I don't know, because it's just water.
• 16:48
  We love jumping into a pool, but if it rains, we're like,
• 16:51
  get the funk out of here, right, don't can we close wet?
• 16:52
  It's like, why can't your clothes get wet? You put him in the
• 16:56
  washing machine anyway, it's like going to ruin. Well, yeah, but
• 16:59
  if you've got no to go, I mean, I'm stuck at the rain.
• 17:02
  I'm thinking, particularly if it's pissing down. Oh yeah, I mean
• 17:07
  I remember one night I was in Melbourne, Yeah, sort of. It
• 17:11
  was around this time of year as well, where things it's starting to get
• 17:12
  cold, and it was a bit of a rainy night, and yeah,
• 17:18
  the streets were crowded. I passed maybe three or four people who were doing
• 17:22
  it rough out on the streets, and you know, you're I don't want
• 17:26
  to sound completely heartless, but often you'll sort of passed by these people and
• 17:29
  go tough break for you, pale, but yeah, on an on this
• 17:33
  night particular, I was like, mate, this would just fucking blow yeah
• 17:38
  to bad. I mean I was, I was digging into my pockets and
• 17:41
  pulling out any change I hadn't just distributing that night. I was like,
• 17:45
  there's an't much made, but God, go get yourself a you know,
• 17:48
  a junior Burger somewhere. So yeah, you're absolutely right. I mean,
• 17:52
  this was good shorthand I'm like, oh my god, his shack's just you
• 17:55
  know, gone, he's got no way of rebuilding it out in the rain.
• 18:00
  Even the pots are colander, Oh terrible. Yeah, And it also
• 18:04
  reminds me when we told of that story about you making the love of the
• 18:07
  wheeze walk in the rain and Barley, I think it was. And it
• 18:10
  didn't go down Well, well, yeah, that's the thing. It wasn't
• 18:15
  so much get out and walk in the rain. It was more like I
• 18:18
  wasn't seeing it as a fun, romantic moment. It's like, oh,
• 18:23
  let's just run. It was partly that it was like, oh, look,
• 18:26
  it's not that bad and it's not that far back to our room.
• 18:30
  And then I realized, oh shit, it is this bad, and it's
• 18:33
  a lot further back to our room than I imagined. I mean, Lou
• 18:37
  and I pride ourselves. I mean, we we're both very easy going people
• 18:41
  and very non confrontational people, and plus you know, we're very much on
• 18:45
  the same page. So we've we've never really fought all that much. I
• 18:48
  mean, we sort of of of course, disagreed about things, but we've
• 18:52
  never really got in each other's faces or started yelling or raising our voices to
• 18:56
  express it. Though. But you know, yeah, I came close to
• 19:02
  dump in your house that night, She says it with a smile, and
• 19:06
  I hope she didn't really want to dump in the night, but I mean,
• 19:08
  yeah, I think that was a moment where she's like this can occasionally
• 19:12
  do something of a dickhead. We've all been there. The other thing I
• 19:22
  enjoyed before we get into our into our trivia was the surprise reader. We're
• 19:26
  moderately surprised. It's a nice little it had a nice play often, Yeah
• 19:30
  I did at the end, Yes, yeah, any more brain busters?
• 19:36
  All right, it's the brainbuster, Blotbuster, Brainbuster here for my fair Laddy.
• 19:41
  Original release date of this episode was Febrary twenty six, two thousand and
• 19:45
  six. The clues for the top three films of the US box office at
• 19:48
  the time. In number one, we have Dangerous Grandma. In number two,
• 19:52
  we have Dogs, and a number three, we have Dirtam Dirtam,
• 19:57
  Oh, Dangerous Grandma. Did you say, yeah, this is a film
• 20:02
  I've never heard of. I'm not gonna lie. Well, it's not.
• 20:06
  We already did Big Mama's House. Didn't were a Big Mama's House too.
• 20:08
  It's not that. No, it's because it's going to do with drag is
• 20:11
  it? Is it a a yeah? Themes that way, well or maybe
• 20:17
  not. Movie just looks like a dragman but on the cover, but it's
• 20:19
  got reunion in the title. Okay, because once again a black man dressed
• 20:26
  as a woman. Um, let me look, don't it looks more like
• 20:30
  the post looks like Andy Warhole art. So I can't really tell. Oh
• 20:34
  my god, it's it's got it's about a family reunion. Dangerous, hang
• 20:38
  on, I think this might be the This might be the work of one
• 20:42
  Tyler Perry, who is, yeah, a bit of a not the godfather
• 20:48
  of black cinema, but certainly a titan of m yeah, twenty first century
• 20:52
  black cinema. And one of his main characters is Medea, Yes, the
• 20:57
  sassy grandma who won't take any backchat or anything like that. So I think
• 21:02
  this might be Badez family reunion. You were correct. Yes, I'm just
• 21:04
  looking at the actual pictures now, and yes, it is exactly what you're
• 21:08
  saying. Yeah, Tyler Perry's cause done other things outside of a dress.
• 21:12
  He was in Gone Girl, and I think he was in Star Trek.
• 21:15
  I think it was in like the first jj A Ram Star Trek. Yeah.
• 21:19
  Sorry, the second one was Dogs Dogs, Yes, does this one?
• 21:26
  How many dogs? I'll give away the movies if I say that.
• 21:33
  I think this might be eight Belows starting a late Paul Walker and eight Dogs
• 21:37
  this was a really nice movie. Actually, okay, there's nothing like Dogs
• 21:41
  because that was shitouse No, No, Snow Dogs was absolutely gob no.
• 21:48
  But this was this was quite forgotten the exact plot, but I think Paul
• 21:51
  Walker went he had like a team of sled dogs. He was an explorer
• 21:55
  in the Antarctic or something like that, and either his dogs rescued him or
• 21:59
  he to rescue at least one of his missing dogs. And oh, it's
• 22:03
  really nice. And Walker, who was not the greatest actor, but in
• 22:07
  certain roles he was really quite good and really quite effective. He had a
• 22:10
  really good relationship with those dogs. Yeah, I just didn't remember enjoying that
• 22:14
  a lot. Rest in peace ball Walker. And the third one was So
• 22:21
  if this is two thousand and six, I can't tell you because if it's
• 22:26
  either it's either The Pink Panther the reboot of The Pink Panther serrying Steve Martin
• 22:29
  as Inspector Cluso, or it's The Pink Panther two because they did make a
• 22:33
  sequel to it. Which one do you reckon that is due six? Well,
• 22:40
  flipping a coin, I'm just gonna say Pink Panther one, yes,
• 22:44
  so Bubbling Inspector Cluzo must solve the murder of a famous soccer coach and find
• 22:48
  out who stole the infamous pink panther diamond. I think Beyonce might be in
• 22:53
  that as well. Oh okay, I never saw this one. I didn't
• 22:56
  even know this what existed. I'm gonna lie, that's like, like we
• 22:57
  said last week, there's that here between like two thousand. Maybe she doesn't
• 23:02
  fight twenty fifteen, but I just like, I'm gonna start doing a podcast
• 23:06
  on this, I think, either on the four Finger discot network or is
• 23:08
  a Guy David solo project just about because I'm not sure. I don't think
• 23:14
  everyone feels this way because but I think maybe people of a certain age dues
• 23:18
  like there's a period when you know, you and pop culture you're just sort
• 23:22
  of out of step with one another. Yeah, you were talking about this
• 23:25
  last week. Yeah, yeah, And it's like and the two thousands are
• 23:29
  like there for me. But I'm sure there are good movies out there,
• 23:30
  but there are others that just like slip right under the right out of here,
• 23:36
  out of your head. Yeah, exactly, And I think the Pink
• 23:37
  Pants was certainly one of those. Next question, you there eating the past.
• 23:42

  the world. Community of folks sort of backing us up. Yeah, they
• 25:22
  continue to support us through thick and thin. We love you all for it's
• 25:26
  But my first question for you, mister Davis, is how many laps had
• 25:29
  got home paid? Homer paid for? I said, guy pa for he
• 25:33
  paid for fifty laps? He did? Yes? Yeah. A response question
• 25:37
  to you, which lab was he on when he had a go cut malfunction
• 25:42
  for some reason? Number fourteens in my head? Is it anywhere near it?
• 25:45
  You've got that number in your head, but it wasn't the number that
• 25:48
  was on screen. He was on the third lap, the third lap.
• 25:51
  Okay, okay, he was going to forty seven more laps when they've fled
• 25:53
  Fred Flintstone car. But if I'd paid for something like fifty laps and I
• 25:56
  was three laps, and I'm like, I'm gonna at least get some of
• 26:00
  my money's worth, right, pain or no pain? My next question for
• 26:03
  you is during the song adequate they the kids hold up tests. What was
• 26:07
  Bart score on his test? Is that your next one? He smile?
• 26:11
  Bart score was a D minus. Again. Response question, what was Lisa
• 26:15
  scool A plus or a There was a something? No much? You've got
• 26:18
  a B plus no shit B plus, which is surprising you know, because
• 26:23
  that's adequate for Lisa. I guess yeah, I guess yeah. I mean
• 26:26
  there's an old saying about, you know, the gentleman sees sees get de
• 26:33
  grease, He's get grees man. I haven't heard that one since high school.
• 26:37
  Okay, And my final question for you is when Home has got the
• 26:41
  advertising all over him in the bed reelect two fourth Circuit judge cha, yes,
• 26:47
  is that your last question? It was a question. I got one
• 26:49
  more question for you if you want it hit me? What are you?
• 26:52
  What date is the school science Fair? Oh? I have no idea.
• 26:59
  What was it? It is January at twenty nine. January twenty nine,
• 27:03
  show the calendar its own stage in the very end of the week. But
• 27:07
  then you see thirty and thirty one, it's like, yes, well,
• 27:11
  I speaking of that. By the way of Home's advertising. What do you
• 27:14
  think of the Hommer b plot in this? I thought it was actually feasible
• 27:17
  in the believable Homer storyline. One that doesn't take he could have done this
• 27:21
  at work. I just wish we had a scene of him, whether it
• 27:23
  be like the most I know you need the mob billboard gag. That's why
• 27:26
  they did that at most but him being at work and still doing this on
• 27:29
  the side. So that's where that's in the Golden Year, Homer. We'll
• 27:32
  be doing side hustles on the side of his job. Now they've never bothered
• 27:34
  to sort of show his job. It's just he's doing these side hustles.
• 27:37
  It's like, I just wish we got a scene of him just to remind
• 27:40
  us. Now he still doesn't work at the power plant. You know,
• 27:41
  he still doesn't work there. Yeah, as much as they're making jokes about
• 27:45
  do you have a job? Yeah, I think that would have been a
• 27:47
  good thing, But no, I like the other side hustle b blood in
• 27:51
  this what I mean, we've all sort of thought about how can we use
• 27:53
  not not all of us, right, but when you're off a teenager or
• 27:56
  whatever, it's like, should I get a tattoo of like pep see or
• 28:00
  something I shot like a brand or some guy on meek and that I remember
• 28:03
  there. I had a friend who what did he get? It's like a
• 28:06
  local business. Can't remember what it was, but it was like the local
• 28:07
  tattoo parlor and you got the tattooed on his neck so that he got free
• 28:10
  tattoos for life. And I'm like, yeah, that's there forever and they
• 28:12
  go out of business. What's the points job was like, yeah, that
• 28:18
  was war I at my first tattoo. But I mean you always have well
• 28:22
  you're not always, but you will occasionally have someone saying if you if you're
• 28:27
  wearing a T shirt that says like Levis or something or Abercrobbie and Fitch or
• 28:30
  Country Road or some label or whatever, it's like, why are you giving
• 28:33
  these guys free advertising? You know? Things like that? Um, that
• 28:37
  was actually taking of a real story. I forgot to write the name there,
• 28:41
  but Algan was saying during the commentary that there was a guy who I
• 28:45
  think it was a five year deal he had advertising and he got he got
• 28:48
  paid seven hundred bucks a year. Like why would you do that? When
• 28:53
  you said seven hundred bucks, I was like a month, so I mean
• 28:59
  a week, yeah, a month a year? No, it sucks.
• 29:03
  Apparently whatever the company was, they got eight hundred new clients in the first
• 29:07
  year from him doing it. So I'm like, this guy's understold himself terribly.
• 29:12
  Absolutely. Do you remember this is a while back, but there was
• 29:18
  a player at the Gelong Football Club Whiskers. Yeah, Gary Hawking, who
• 29:22
  renamed himself for at least one day or one week a week Whiskers, the
• 29:27
  Catfrey brand Whiskers. The commentary had to say Whiskers has the ball. Now
• 29:33
  it was a charity thing. He wasn't doing it for himself. His real
• 29:38
  nickname was Buddha Budda Hocking. He was every nineties kids favorite Gelong player.
• 29:44
  Everyone loved Buddahocking. He really was. He was tough as they come,
• 29:48
  as they come, weird looking rock and mullet that was just he was holding
• 29:52
  onto the mullet even though it was out of style, and as a curly
• 29:56
  mullet, not just a mullet, as a curly mullet. Yeah, it
• 29:59
  was a bo in the fighting mouth. Yeah, it was awesome. And
• 30:02
  he was just a lovely guy. Because this is back before Australian DAWs football
• 30:04
  has got paid enough to actually justify a wage, so they'd all have second
• 30:07
  jobs and decided to help cover everything because they didn't get paid enough. And
• 30:11
  I remember Buddahocking. He used to work for the youmth of the council and
• 30:14
  he was a garbageman, was he? Well, he was working for the
• 30:17
  council because that was one of his giah because Paul Couch was was was our
• 30:19
  garbo Paul Couch number seven foot long at the time, he was my garbageman.
• 30:23
  Yeah. And then Buddhohocking he might have been the goveragement from at the
• 30:27
  point, but he was working for the cancel at this point, and I
• 30:30
  was fixing the road on our street and then we'd go up and kicked the
• 30:33
  footy with Buddhohocking and kick the footy with us and stuff. He had signed
• 30:36
  on this stuff, and I remember I gave um because Gary Ablett sen he
• 30:38
  was my favorite player. It was everyone's, everyone's. He was like god
• 30:41
  to which a long fans right, and and only gave him a post and
• 30:45
  I said, could you please get Gary able to sign this for me?
• 30:48
  And motherfucker Buddohocking took that poster and he went away and he came back and
• 30:52
  he was like, I'm really sorry, he's no ledder sign it because he's
• 30:55
  got the AFL logo on it, and he's not later signed anything that has
• 30:56
  the AFL logan on it because they're going to get resold. But he got
• 31:00
  he printed out this sheet of paper with a with Gay Ablett's photo of it
• 31:03
  and said two Brandon Best, which is like he actually got him, he
• 31:04
  made the effort to get and that another picture didn't have the logo, and
• 31:07
  going to side, I'm like, this is you went to the effort for
• 31:10
  it to get a signature of some other player for a kid, I'm like,
• 31:12
  what an absolute legend, one hundred percent champion. Yeah, because you
• 31:17
  know, it's memories, memories, not just that stick forever. You know,
• 31:21
  absolutely, it's not just how you perform on the field, it's how
• 31:22
  you perform off the field. You gotta be an ambassador for your club.
• 31:26
  Yeah, and we did. We did. My dad was so happy of
• 31:30
  what he did for me that my dad with fishing and not caught like a
• 31:32
  ship let of I don't know why. I remember specifically it was flounder,
• 31:34
  right because and we went up there and we gave him some flounder to eat,
• 31:40
  like some some fresh flander. He was like, oh, beautiful,
• 31:41
  like flanders my favorite fishing obviously wasn't but like he took it. Next day
• 31:45
  he had flounder sandwiches and I was like, what a legend. Buddhohoking was
• 31:49
  just fucking working on our street for the week. We just hanging out of
• 31:52
  Buddha all week. What a good time that was. So yeah, the
• 31:55
  upshot of this is buddhocking top Like, yeah, I mean I was six
• 31:59
  or seven at the time, but he may be a gelong fan for life
• 32:02
  for doing that. And yeah, so that's a good way of going about
• 32:06
  it, Homer. Maybe not the good way of going about it, although
• 32:08
  watching this, I was like, Wow, he's the original influencer. Yes,
• 32:12
  but it's called headvertising. By the way, there's actually termed for headvertising.
• 32:16
  I know they mentioned the show and I'm like, oh, that's a
• 32:19
  neat phrase at the sentence writer's coin but no, actually real. Yeah.

• 33:00
  is in the description of this podcast. So the original airdate of My Fair
• 33:07
  Laddy was February twenty six, two thousand and six. It was written by
• 33:09
  Michael Price, directed by Bob Annison. The wash no chor gab, but
• 33:13
  the couch gag was the one that we've already seen before where it's filmed in
• 33:15
  claymation and all six balls roll up as well as gumby. Apparently these guys
• 33:20
  did all the claimation work on The Simpsons now when we had that that religious
• 33:22
  video that time was a take off of the Yes, Yeah, definitely,
• 33:28
  so they did all that stuff and then in claimation the same company did all
• 33:30
  this. But the episode kicks off with Skinner introducing Missus Pommelhurst for the last
• 33:35
  time because when she returned, she won't be Missus pommel Hurst. Well she
• 33:37
  she will indeed be mister Pummelhorst, the new shop teacher, and I don't
• 33:43
  know, a nice very mid two thousand's mix of sensitivity and a bit of
• 33:52
  a sneaker. Yeah. I um, I was like, I don't think
• 33:54
  they would include this joke anymore, but anyone, I don't believe they would
• 33:58
  know moving a wrong swiftly though, But our coach Krupp has arrived and I
• 34:01
  listened to the commentary. They were raving about, you know when when the
• 34:06
  movie Dodgeball come out. By the way, let's see this, this had
• 34:08
  to have been a takeoff because they talked about stories from when there were kids
• 34:10
  and they had they used to play Bombarbo, which apparently wasn't Dodgeball, but
• 34:15
  they told me what the rules when I was like, pretty much Dodgeball,
• 34:16
  but you know, They're like, it just was too much. I was
• 34:20
  like, this is just really annoying that bombarbent Bob Barb and I'm like it
• 34:23
  was funny a couple of times, but you just kept going with it,
• 34:27
  and they thought it was really funny. And I guess Dodgeball would have been
• 34:30
  hot at the time because that came out, what two thousand and four,
• 34:31
  What is say Dodgeball. I'm wondering when Dodgeball actually came out, Like sture,
• 34:35
  we look it up. I'm looking it up right now. Dodgeball came
• 34:37
  out in two thousand and four. Yeah, true, Underdog Stone. There's
• 34:39
  a sequel coming out. I read somewhere or did I dream that. I
• 34:42
  read that the other day as well. Yeah, that Vince Vaughan's back.
• 34:45
  Vince Vaughan's coming back. I don't know if they're going to get Ben Stiller
• 34:46
  back, but well I saw a picture of them looking older and bolder and
• 34:52
  fatter, and Ben Stiller was in the photo with him in his gear.
• 34:54
  So whether they've been in a film recently dressed as that, I don't.
• 34:58
  I'm not too sure. But anyway, that was a big film. It
• 35:00
  was a huge film in two days before, so I guess, you know,
• 35:04
  it's about a year later. I guess I was sort of riding the
• 35:07
  waves of that. So yeah, but this wasn't funny to me. Yeah,
• 35:12
  if you're going to ride the dodgeball wave, just have dodgeball rather than
• 35:15
  bombardment. I mean, like you said, they're essentially the same thing.
• 35:19
  But mats time. I actually had an interesting story during the end of the
• 35:21
  commentary where it's in the eighties and I'll playing Bombardment and he's laying on the
• 35:24
  floor and the teacher walked up and the scene where he walks up and smashed
• 35:27
  his bart. He did the same thing to him, but he said he
• 35:29
  put his hand up to defend himself and the teacher broke his tongue. And
• 35:31
  he's like, man, imagine it has happened. Now he goes, there'd
• 35:34
  be lawsuits and there'd be money in my pockets. I'll be getting free education
• 35:37
  for life. But he goes, nothing happened. Teachers got away with it.
• 35:40
  It's the eighties, brother, Well, that was the days of quote
• 35:45
  our quote Latin in the local parentus where the yeah the teacher was essentially your
• 35:50
  dad. Yeah, yeah, just dad, the gourd. I can't comprehend
• 35:53
  the idea of being hit by the teacher, obviously, my dad said,
• 35:58
  you when he was at school, he's get smacked on the hand or the
• 36:00
  ruler and things like that. And I was like, can you imagine.
• 36:04
  I just I just I can't fathom. It's kind of like how Aliot would
• 36:07
  never be able to fathom my world without the Internet. You know. It's
• 36:08
  just I can't believe that that was still a thing when my dad was a
• 36:13
  kid. No, I kept a spanking from a from a teacher, from
• 36:15
  a teacher, you as well, yeah, yeah, yeah, back in
• 36:19
  the day, back in the seventies. Absolutely, I was a kid,
• 36:21
  and of course i'd acted up, I'd i'd misbehave, But man, come
• 36:24
  on me being institutionalized. I'm like, I had it. Commen, what
• 36:29
  did Bobby saying about that? Was he just was it just expected? You
• 36:31
  had a comment? Well? It just an accepted thing, was it?
• 36:35
  Yeah? Very much. I can't believe that. That's crazy. When did
• 36:42
  they outlaw it, like in the eighties. I think it was sometime in
• 36:45
  the eighties or nineties, I'd have to I never got smacked. I was
• 36:49
  a nineties kid, so it must have been the eighties. But I just
• 36:51
  can't imagine kids being spanked by teachers. I mean, you look at some
• 36:54
  kids now and it's like they probably does. I mean, being a teacher
• 36:57
  now, it's probably harder than ever because there's no camp with the fear of
• 37:00
  guide into kids anymore. You know. Oh yeah, my sister used to
• 37:02
  be a teacher. Well she still is, but she's not as full time
• 37:06
  as she was. And she was like, oh no, I wouldn't.
• 37:09
  I wouldn't recommend anyone go into it now. If I can't beat the shit
• 37:13
  out of kids ain't doing it that correct, but yeah, so um so
• 37:19
  yeah, this whole scene is just about bombarb and Bart's worried at breakfast,
• 37:22
  and March says, tell you regularly, regular bully. He won't like it
• 37:24
  one bit. Let me get the introduction to the Homer story as well.
• 37:28
  So Hommer's ruined his last pair of pants and the only ones that understood his
• 37:31
  complex. Heinie, and he explains how he did it. He was go
• 37:34
  karting and he's bump dragged on the floor, on the on the the ashphalt
• 37:38
  and and ruined his pants. And I liked the montage. Didn't ruin his
• 37:44
  ass And maybe he's squirting. Yeah, and I like the montage. She
• 37:50
  has the signs so no pants, rainbow of pants, no blue blue pants
• 37:52
  cafe. We do not sell blue pants. This is so weird because I
• 37:58
  tend to think the blue is like the fault pants color. What's jeans,
• 38:01
  yeah, I guess yeah. But even with slacks yeah, or Chino's blues.
• 38:08
  You see. I think you see blue pants more often than just about
• 38:12
  any color. I think it's more. I think I think what's when it's
• 38:15
  like nice, nice pants? I think people were more claimed to go like
• 38:17
  a brown or a beige. Now maybe I think it's blue, black and
• 38:22
  gray. I say that I'm wearing blue, blue pants. I got blue
• 38:25
  jeans, blue shirt, blue pants. I am. I am all blue,
• 38:30
  right? I am? I am blue from the color of my of
• 38:35
  my shirt, my lovely pullover, blue jeans, blue socks. I haven't
• 38:39
  checked my underpants. Should I check my underpants? Yeah? Check them.
• 38:43
  I've misplaced my underpants. I did not believe that this show was going to
• 38:45
  go a little blue, but it certainly hats I can't a friend those listeners.
• 38:50
  The guy is very blue. Dubber d Dubber Day. I remember hating
• 38:55
  that song back in the day. Now it's just it comes on and it's
• 38:59
  just I think it's just reminds you of being the nineties again. So you
• 39:01
  just have that sort of attraction time, care free time. At the time,
• 39:05
  it was everywhere. I mean, I liked it. I liked it
• 39:07
  as a kid, but after a while I was like, yeah, there's
• 39:09
  enough now moving on. Yeah, but just you're starting with that whole you
• 39:16
  know, Yeah, listen, here's a story and then the kids, um
• 39:22
  blue dah kick it in. But it has it has a really good start
• 39:28
  though, like you were saying, um, big butts, the song goes
• 39:30
  doom. It's got that start where I have for sixty five song goes here,
• 39:36
  it is there, it comes yo, listen, I've got time to
• 39:38
  put my drink down. So we're back at school now. And one thing
• 39:45
  I liked about this though, when they were lining the kids up from bombarb
• 39:47
  and I'm making them line up to throw the ball at them, was it
• 39:50
  had the mats against the wall protecting the wall from the balls, but not
• 39:52
  the kids. Their bart finds the teacher's diary and what was on Christmas?
• 39:58
  Did you see that? Double bombar? Double bombardment? My only question about
• 40:02
  this is, since when do they have pe every day? True? Why
• 40:07
  are they at school on Christmas Day? Yeah? It's um, I don't
• 40:10
  know, it's unless he's subjecting his family double bombardment, which I wouldn't put
• 40:14
  it past this guy. Yeah, I would basically know. He seemed like
• 40:16
  a very you know, carrying a husband and father and provider when he was
• 40:21
  at the restaurant. Yeah, like he has to stay for the world besides
• 40:23
  his family, but pro family he's there of course. Yeah yeah, well
• 40:27
  who does not exactly. But then fills the water balloon and freezes it.
• 40:31
  And he finds Lisa's sacks in the freezer, and I've got here, this
• 40:35
  must be one big fucking freezer, putting a saxophone in that freeze. I
• 40:37
  want, I want to freeze this big because our freezer is always full.
• 40:40
  Whenever we have to put something new into the freezer. It's like playing Tetris,
• 40:43
  pulling things out, rearranging, opening things up precisely, our precisely.
• 40:49
  It's like, I really should get some of these dishes that I didn't with
• 40:52
  my batch cooking and thinking, oh, I've got meals for the next you
• 40:55
  know, however long, it's like you never eat them. That's been in
• 40:59
  there for six months. I'm not gonna get that soup. It's like I've
• 41:02
  got three sausages here from like two summers ago. Why they're still in here?
• 41:07
  Then help year, sir, My Dadger says, no more. Brombardment,
• 41:12
  Well, here's the second opinion, monster, your worst I'm drunk.
• 41:17
  Well, welcome to a a Always attack him, Simpson, Simpson, Bart's
• 41:29
  got a nice ball. What is your major mouthfunction? Simpson? You will
• 41:35
  defrost train and surrender that ball, and then I will use it to bombard
• 41:39
  you bombardment can't tell her, so he throws it at him, smashes the
• 41:44
  window and somehow destroys a shack with it. I'm like, i know why
• 41:46
  the shack exploded, but whatever, I'm astonished at upper upper body strength and
• 41:52
  he was able to field and it really picks it up and throws it at
• 41:57
  the attracting that gold to smash is just a visual guy. But then they're
• 42:00
  helping Willie rebuild his shack and Bart suggests, you know, rather than do
• 42:05
  this, got a revine with the rusted out car and says, don't be
• 42:07
  getting my hopes up. Finally get my heart broken, and Marge ryo was
• 42:09
  time to go home, and he says, you know, I've finished the
• 42:13
  nail board over by the way, you added nails, and I'm like,
• 42:15
  nails. So sorry for the guy here. He's been no house, no
• 42:19
  one gives a shit, no love from anybody. Now he's sitting there in
• 42:21
  the rain with a colndar over his head, and yeah, I thought it
• 42:22
  did a really good job of building that sympathy, because up to this point
• 42:25
  of the last day, three or four seasons, he's had no redeeming qualities.
• 42:29
  Really, Willie, he's just been annoying. He's been mean, he's
• 42:31
  been vicious. Yeah, he's always been horrible to the kids. But here
• 42:35
  they made you steal feel somewhat sympathy for him. Oh, absolutely do,
• 42:38
  Yeah, even I did. Who's you know? Hard? When it comes
• 42:42
  to groundscable Willie is cold, black and shriveled. M He's now in the
• 42:46
  Simpsons house having a sleep on the couch, or he's getting ready for a
• 42:49
  bet on the couch like these Jammie jams quite nice, and he offers Marge
• 42:53
  in return for his um for the place to stay. He's a sculpture made
• 42:58
  of lost retainers, but she pretends to like and it looks I like this
• 43:02
  and the way it goes, and she destroys it in the in the sink
• 43:06
  what they called the dad this disposal. Yes, or whenever I see those,
• 43:10
  I just think of Gramlins digit I just think of like that was a
• 43:15
  gruesome death for that grandmin by the way it really was. I don't know.
• 43:19
  I don't know if I've got like a death wish or something, or
• 43:21
  just like a morbid sense of curiosity is like I may if I put my
• 43:23
  hand in there what would happen. It would be destroyed and it would be
• 43:28
  very pain will be but obviously we will never know unless we actually lose a
• 43:31
  limb. But I know there's stories from people who lose limbs. They're just
• 43:35
  like they say, you can still feel it there even when it's not there
• 43:37
  because you're so used to having it there. Phantom pain or phantom limb syndrome.
• 43:40
  Absolutely, yeah, it must. It would be a lot to get
• 43:43
  used to. I was just always watching that Gremlins and I'm like, you
• 43:46
  know, they're horrible or things, but I'm like, this thing got like
• 43:49
  chopped up from the feet up. I'm like, the thing's like going the
• 43:53
  whole body's getting like he's going through the writhing in pain all the way up
• 43:57
  until it gets to like the vital organs that you required to live. Then
• 44:00
  he starts dying. But like she went head first, it's like it's done.
• 44:01
  You're over quick death. But this thing's from the feet up. But
• 44:07
  you know, he's so willing, just can't believe it. You know that
• 44:10
  the citizens offered him his house. You know, he's say thankful, and
• 44:13
  Lisa says, what do you set off for Squalor? And he says,
• 44:15
  you know, I'm just used to it. My family's been doing this for
• 44:19
  years, and now my grandfather was setting to the minds to check to see
• 44:22
  if it was safe for the canaries and things like that. So any of
• 44:24
  course things are. Wouldn't it be adequate to take off of which song from
• 44:28
  my fair lady, mister Davis? Would it be lovely? All I want
• 44:36
  is a place somewhere, and that's it. Maybe you could aim a little
• 44:45
  higher. Well, let's see, Oh to have me shock rebuilt? Gets
• 44:52
  my dentyeth old drills something on underneath michils. Oh, oh, dan it
• 45:00
  be adequate, matching shoes for both me feet gaining on unchanted meat? Oh,
• 45:12
  toilet, what still has its head? Oh? It be adequate,
• 45:19
  adequate, adequate, Who dandy be adequate? I love it. All I
• 45:30
  want is a place somewhere where. That's it. Exactly quite funny. It's
• 45:38
  like Willie that he doesn't want for much, He just wants. He wants
• 45:40
  the band necessities in life. Well, just as Home was the original influencer
• 45:45
  um groundscaper, Willie is the original minimalist. Exactly right at Lana Mean have
• 45:50
  to sing any song, Willie realizes that he would like a life. It's
• 45:53
  somewhat more normal than what he's got. Now, at least it gets the
• 45:55
  idea to turn him into a proper gentleman for the Science Fair, because even
• 46:00
  deep down anyone can be civilized. He knocks himself out with the hammer.
• 46:02
  Now, was this where they make the bet? Yes? So I think
• 46:07
  ye, because Bart says I don't reckon you could. Yeah, because yeah,
• 46:09
  that's part of the original um My Fair Lady story as well. That
• 46:15
  Henry Higgins who's the elocution coach who says I can turn a liesa do a
• 46:19
  little into a lady. I think he's got his motor says, well,
• 46:22
  but you can't. And yeah, they you love doing that accident. You
• 46:24
  always pull a funny your face when you do it. You can't. I
• 46:32
  didn't think it was a funny face funny, but you have like your cockney
• 46:37
  face, which is basically a squint when it's all looked like a cockney part
• 46:44
  and shake my head a bit as well when I anyway, Um, I
• 46:49
  don't think it was a missed opportunity on the part of the episode, because
• 46:52
  I think what they do they do pretty well all this time around. But
• 46:54
  I think it could have been interesting if because they've made this bet Bark could
• 47:00
  be kind of trip could be trying to trip up Willie and yeah mess mess
• 47:06
  with Lisa's efforts to to gentrify him. Yeah, I think it might just
• 47:12
  it might have just added an unnecessary wrinkle to the episode. But I think
• 47:15
  it could have been fun as I think it works perfectly well as it is.
• 47:19
  If you can't do it though, Yeah, it makes more sense as
• 47:21
  I do it properly because you could have easily cut the Homo b plot out
• 47:22
  of this episode. It doesn't have any bearing on the actual story, does
• 47:25
  it actually really? I know, No, I just think that I think,
• 47:30
  yeah, yeah, I think the writers were probably in love with that
• 47:34
  whole a bit about just the terrible advertising campaign for the Blue Pants. I
• 47:38
  think they want more than anything else, they wanted that gag. Yes at
• 47:44
  the world Wide Pants who got their name be four Letterman. I remember in
• 47:49
  the nineties watching Letterman when they finally started showing it on Australian TV and the
• 47:53
  yeah, the production its production companies, Worldwide Pants, Oh Letterman, oh
• 47:58
  you scamp. I remember like a lot of shows like the little production company
• 48:05
  things at the end, like you have vivid memories of these, like the
• 48:07
  shows, but you also when you hear the theme song, you hit that
• 48:09
  a little bit at the end that goes with the themes, like the outro,
• 48:13
  Like there was one it was like, you stinker. What show was
• 48:15
  that? I'm pretty sure that was David E. Kelly, who did like
• 48:19
  a whole bunch of legal shows like Boston Legal and GAILI McBeal and things like
• 48:22
  that, you stinker, you stinker. When I was married at the time
• 48:29
  and now I used to always used to say that to my wife, and
• 48:30
  she'd say to me because I was very flatulent. But I think the one
• 48:36
  I remember most is just after the end of Family Times. It was a
• 48:37
  sit ubu sit good good boy. Yes, but at least he's trying to
• 48:45
  teach poise, pronunciation and posture. She asking to stand up straight and he
• 48:46
  feels like he's too far off the ground and he falls over. Then we
• 48:50
  get home or arriving at well by pants and then I said, they've got
• 48:52
  no blue pants yet. You know the sales pummeted after their Super Bowl ad.
• 48:55
  When you no longer feel when you're knowing a keV you're attracted to women
• 49:01
  I'm going to draw a really long bow. Is Eli Stern the fourth Do
• 49:07
  they basically just use the Hank Scorpio teamplate. He looks a lot like Hank
• 49:09
  Scorpio to me, I can't recall. Let me have a look. I
• 49:14
  will now. I could be completely wrong there, and everyone could say,
• 49:17
  guy, you're a fool. Speaking of Hank Scorpio, We've just released a
• 49:21
  new Hank Scorpio shirt courtesy our pals at uncle Rico. So if you want
• 49:23
  to get ten percent off your entire can't You can type in the code four
• 49:28
  finger at uncle rico dot com dot au and check out the Hank Scorpio shirt.
• 49:32
  It's pretty awesome. There's a new one coming out soon with another beloved
• 49:36
  character, voice by one Phil Hartman. I wonder who that's going to be,
• 49:39
  Oh my gosh, but just be careful with your type four finger on
• 49:43
  the internet. God only knows where he could lead blue pants nah nah,
• 49:52
  I mean, if you if you want it to be, maybe Fred to
• 49:55
  cut that bit out. It's um nah ah right. But the other thing,
• 50:04
  and I think I'm probably a little more secure about this because I read
• 50:07
  it on Wikipedia, was that the disastrous Super Bowl ad for Blue Pants was
• 50:14
  a takeoff of some Calvin Klein ads from the from the mid nineties that were
• 50:19
  a bit of a bit controversial back in the day because they basically looked like
• 50:23
  they were amateur porn filmed in someone's in someone's basement. You know. It
• 50:28
  was a whole bunch of like, really, you know whatever kids shout out
• 50:32
  to our summer of five feet? Was it Summer of four feet two?
• 50:38
  Sum four fo yes, summer episode, Yeah, you know whatever. But
• 50:44
  it was a bunch of kids like that sort of wearing various Calvin Klein outfits,
• 50:49
  and but they also looked like like, hey, do you want to
• 50:52
  those pants look like they might be chaffing and do you want to take them
• 50:54
  off? Issue that caused a great deal of controversy and also sold a ship
• 51:00
  down to Calform clown Pants. In fact, there was like underaged kids or
• 51:04
  something. Yeah, it looks I don't know if we're allowed to say the
• 51:08
  words child pornography on this show without getting demonetized. But it basically looked like
• 51:15
  amateur porn starring people who shouldn't be an amateur porn. Okay, then it
• 51:20
  doesn't sound very which gave it the sweet tang of forbidden fruit. Remember when
• 51:24
  you could just have ads, it was like full blown sexy and I just
• 51:28
  get away, Like for example, where the chick with the the ant eater
• 51:30
  or the kids or whatever. Oh yeah, sick Rex six. I'm like,
• 51:34
  holy Chris, you could never do that. Now they wearing those line
• 51:38
  on the line on the on the bed and a nicky sexy underpants with ants
• 51:43
  growling over and just Rex goes to town on him and well, but I
• 51:47
  mean back in back in my day, they see that I'm pulling that face
• 51:52
  again and I'm not even doing the cockney accent. Back in my day when
• 51:58
  I was a kid, actually had a brand of any hose called sexy Legs.
• 52:01
  Okay, Yeah, and you know the TV air was like, oh
• 52:06
  sexy Legs, and you know, basically I wouldn't be walking the street and
• 52:09
  you know with a nice legs and her nice sixty legs pantyhose and all these
• 52:13
  dudes just like that app Basically it was sexual harassment in brime time, oh,
• 52:27
  the nineties, the eighties, the seventies. But anyway, getting back
• 52:34
  to the episode, Yeah, so they're talking about the add and yeah,
• 52:35
  thought, yeah, was quite funny. Just that when you don't care if
• 52:37
  you're attracted to women. I'm like, I feel like I'm almost there.
• 52:39
  I'm just like, yeah, I'm happy I've got Nicola. You know what,
• 52:43
  what are you fuckingone thinks? I mean, I'm still I'm trying to
• 52:45
  stay in shape form Nicola. But it's not the case I'm letting my stuff
• 52:47
  go. It's just a case of there comes a point where you don't care
• 52:52
  what anyone else thinks about you. It's just as long as you're your spouse
• 52:57
  care, you know. But precisely yes, he asked mister Stern, if
• 53:00
  he can build up public interest, will they remake the blue pants? He
• 53:04
  goes, yeah, sure. Lisa was now reading Genteel's Ben Guide to Etiquette,
• 53:07
  and you know she gives up because it's just not working at all with
• 53:10
  Willie. And we get the flashback here of his dad yelling at him when
• 53:14
  he was born, before he even cut the cut the cord. I was
• 53:16
  like, I really, guy, Yeah, yeah, no, he's just
• 53:22
  fa b this kid. Yeah, let h cut it for himself last than
• 53:24
  his last time they really talked. Then the bullets. Now in the commentary
• 53:28
  they said they thought, well, they're already doing a parody of one musical
• 53:30
  wise or do another. That's why they got the around the World in eighty
• 53:32
  days? Gay here, okay, then is that why they did that?
• 53:37
  Yeah, it seems a little uh necessary but random? Yeah, and the
• 53:43
  whole around the world in eighty days? Now does he feels so stupid now
• 53:46
  because like I literally go around the world like thirty hours now if you want,
• 53:50
  or two in a plane. But well you try. No, but
• 53:57
  guy, this isn't the sixties, the eighteen sixties. Yeah, but I
• 54:04
  imagine Harmon now in bed and she finds the blue pants headvertising glows in the
• 54:07
  dark. It's not supposed to. And then Lisa's final test he as she
• 54:12
  goes, well this doesn't work, then whatever, that's not just going to
• 54:14
  give up? Now me get the whole. What flows from the nose does
• 54:16
  not to go on my clothes. I thought Dan did a really good job
• 54:20
  with the delivery. He didn't date Yeah, yeah again, I take off
• 54:24
  of the rain in Spain falls mainly on the plane. Yes, so that's
• 54:30
  you know when, oh my god, I think she's got it. What
• 54:36
  flows from the nose does not go on my clothes. I think he's got
• 54:42
  it. Oh yes, he's got it. What flows from the nose does
• 54:46
  not go on my clothes. We're talking mirror. Where is that ghastly flow
• 54:55
  the nose, the nose? Oh bac blue pants? Blue pants? Dad,
• 55:06
  get your own song. Fine, I'm getting blue pants in the morning.
• 55:13
  Ding dong bus gonna shine. The songs really fun In this episode of
• 55:16
  I Thought, and you get the talking mirror and Homer walks in blue pants,
• 55:21
  blue pants, and then Homer is now at Mos and the ads working
• 55:27
  on all the bathlies like Lenny and Carly and go buy some blue pants as
• 55:30
  well. It's funny how advertising just works sometimes. Can you remember the last
• 55:34
  time where you have been influenced by advertising without realizing and then the dawn on
• 55:37
  you, like, wait a minute, I just got manipulated. My brain
• 55:39
  has got manipulated by that sign or that ad or whatever. I think that
• 55:44
  it usually works. It's usually food for me, Like a KFC add a
• 55:46
  coming, I'm like, I really want KFC now? Oh yeah, well,
• 55:50
  I mean I think you and I spoke about the our pals are hungry,
• 55:54
  Jack's we're doing them. Oh check out these boneless chi can thigh Pride
• 56:00
  numbers. They go God damn, that looks nice. I'm going hungry Jaxon,
• 56:05
  you basically said to me, don't do it. Yeah, don't do
• 56:08
  it, man, don't fall for it like your cousin had had it or
• 56:12
  something. And I was like, my unclear the picture and I was like,
• 56:15
  goodness, gracious, that looks terrible. But yeah, I think I
• 56:19
  did say the podcast Elliott, did somebody say KFC, Like Alliot literally quotes
• 56:22
  the ad. I'm like, I don't know whether I'm a bad parent or
• 56:25
  not, but KFC, you've done a great job. And I feel like
• 56:34
  every fast food restaurant has their one song that they really just used to perfection
• 56:39
  like that. I don't I don't don't care. That's that's KFC's one,
• 56:44
  right, Do remember Hungry Jackson used to have the hungry everyone seductively eating the
• 56:50
  hamburgers. Well, look at you, I can't. That was a good
• 56:53
  one. What was Maca's song? They're Jingle? I didn't know, I'm
• 56:59
  loving it. They had like timber Lake doing that for a while, didn't
• 57:01
  they all? Did? They? Really? Okay, so maybe I don't
• 57:06
  even do that anymore. Just sucked at some stage, you know, that
• 57:08
  didn't mean sort of moonheaded creature. Yeah, okay, yeah I don't remember
• 57:13
  that one, but I just not McDonald's have just sucked the fun out of
• 57:15
  every aspect of their business. Now you're walking down and just feels like this
• 57:20
  is what people in the sixties vision the future would be. Like, this
• 57:22
  is it. You go in there, you're looking at a computer screen,
• 57:24
  You're not getting any human contact. It's just so it's so nothing. And
• 57:29
  plus they all look like, you know, they were designed by Ikey.
• 57:31
  Now, yeah, they're also boring. Yeah, I mean, look,
• 57:37
  I am for figure discounts residence. Remember when guy? But yeah, occasionally
• 57:42
  you see memes of like remember when McDonald's just looked like this and it was
• 57:45
  this sort of red and yellow plastic extravaganza and there's just a Ronald McDonald statue
• 57:51
  on the on the seat you get photo next to him, and that that's
• 57:53
  just a very tasteful sort of blonde wood and a nice booth kind of things.
• 57:59
  So I don't want this from my fast free. I want my daycore
• 58:01
  to be as cheap and tacky as the food I'm putting in my mouth.
• 58:06
  Yeah, if you watch, if you play SIMS and you go, you're
• 58:07
  building a fast food restaurant and just click default. That's what mac Donald's is.
• 58:10
  Now, it's just like default everything, it's just yeah. But while
• 58:15
  we're talking fast food, which we very mully ended up a two week episode,
• 58:19
  four figured this count case's done with the great one of the done,
• 58:24
  one of the great back flips of recent times. And I don't think they've
• 58:28
  even really advertised all that much. But for a while in the name it
• 58:30
  was gear Kentucky Fried Chicken. For goodness knows how long. It was like,
• 58:34
  we'd better not call it fried. That's good, that's you know,
• 58:37
  not healthy. So we went to KFC. Everyone knew would have meant but
• 58:39
  you know, everyone loves a good acronym. But now you know, you
• 58:44
  pick up your thirty nuggets for ten bucks or whatever it is, the box
• 58:49
  is Kentucky Fried Chicken. I'm like, yeah, it's back. Baby.
• 58:52
  Can't keep the colonels down for long because you can see the court and everything
• 58:55
  now said the other day did last week. Colonel would just flipping you the
• 59:00
  bird, like, but this is the thing because every fast food restaurants trying
• 59:05
  to go healthy and KFC are just like, what do people want? Oh,
• 59:08
  that's right, junk food food Pole wants saturated fats and plenty of them.
• 59:15
  I gave um hey KFC last last week and I said, you're a
• 59:19
  Kentucky and he goes, I want KFC. I said, yeah, do
• 59:21
  you want your Kentucky? And you know, he's only four, but he's
• 59:23
  always known it as KFC. I have to explain it to him now and
• 59:27
  now on the way to daycare someone, he goes, can we have Kentucky
• 59:30
  fried chicken for dinner? He's like, see, I remeber. I was
• 59:34
  like, well, I'm remembering, but no. Also no, but yeah,
• 59:38
  it was just like can we have Kentucky fried chicken? But just as
• 59:42
  silly as it sounds, maybe smile. I'm like, oh, it's Kentucky
• 59:45
  fried chicken again, just waiting for him to say, can I have dirty
• 59:50
  bird for dinner? The dirty Bird? Yeah. So the billboard at the
• 59:52
  funder moses not working very well. Then we get another was that the science
• 59:57
  Fair? Now it's very distinguished science Fair. Don't you think everyone's in suit?
• 1:00:00
  More adults they thank children. How did it become the social event of
• 1:00:02
  the season exactly? I don't know, but it suits the story, I
• 1:00:06
  guess. And Martin's got his device there measuring surprise, which I thought was
• 1:00:10
  as useless as this is. I appreciated it, surprised. And then Lisa
• 1:00:16
  introduces G. K. Willington esquire, yes, and Agnes thinks he's very
• 1:00:22
  hot, mummy like, and I know, I just I can never get
• 1:00:25
  on board for Agnes being sexually active. No, I'm all over it.
• 1:00:30
  Yeah, I know you would be missus k though I can be for sure,
• 1:00:34
  and you can get me anytime you want, handsome boink slut. I
• 1:00:37
  don't tell everyone like that again with the slut, yeah, Willie. Then
• 1:00:43
  sings are the tune which is to the to the of the Tales of the
• 1:00:45
  Vienna or something, the Vienna Woods or something on those lines, I believe.
• 1:00:49
  So yeah, it's not one of my most well known tunes from My
• 1:00:52
  Fair Lady, but it's it's it's in there, it is what it is.
• 1:00:57
  You're a smash. It feels so sublime. I feel like I could
• 1:01:04
  be indoors all night, could use a fall and knife and never soil my
• 1:01:13
  soul. I could be so polite, start another seele fight and still not
• 1:01:23
  feel like a fruit. A very nice that there's no lies in my hand
• 1:01:34
  and my toenails. I don't bite. Now that I reach the stage where
• 1:01:45
  I'm not full of rage, I could be indoors. Indoors an Skinner is
• 1:02:01
  about to announce the winner. I would have liked here because he says,
• 1:02:05
  we went to announce the winner. I'm really surprised that Lisa didn't enter one.
• 1:02:07
  And then Lisa says, yeah, I haven't know he's in playing sight
• 1:02:09
  blah blah blah. What does he say he's an announced the winner or just
• 1:02:12
  say was he just say attention to everybody? I think he says he's going
• 1:02:15
  to announce the winner, because it would be nice if he was about to,
• 1:02:16
  or what it to Martin? And then G. K. Willington steals
• 1:02:20
  it from Martin, like rips it off Martin's clothes or something. I don't
• 1:02:22
  know, but um, everyone's stunned. They can't believe it, and we'll
• 1:02:27
  get the game there. So it moves the stunned, the the surprise surprise
• 1:02:31
  measure, and then it's revealed to be Willie and you see monocle ladies sound
• 1:02:35
  in there next to him. Yeah, she's just sat in there and Agnes,
• 1:02:39
  he says. Skinner says to Agnes, athing Clai you didn't get into
• 1:02:42
  it with him? Who says I didn't. We come back from commercial now
• 1:02:45
  and Lisa has one first prize. She's got no room on her academic wall,
• 1:02:51
  so she puts it on the sports wall. We wished I had an
• 1:02:52
  ice hockey reference there in some ways? Oh yeah, yeah, because what
• 1:02:57
  was she She was a participant in what was it? Soccer? I this
• 1:03:00
  one here is just a bowling party. I think it's a birthday bowing bowling
• 1:03:04
  center. It wasn't even like a sport. It's like a party, I
• 1:03:07
  think. But now you have a friend. And Willie arrives for more lessons
• 1:03:09
  and he says, what's today? He's going to be how to smoke a
• 1:03:13
  pipe while summoning a falcon? And then he sends feather by home, and
• 1:03:16
  I'm like, so where is he living now? If it's not at the
• 1:03:19
  Simpsons home and he hasn't got a shack, I imagine he's just flitting from
• 1:03:23
  Springfield lady to Springfield lady. He's doing the couch to. He noting the
• 1:03:27
  couch to. Why wouldn't you? That sounds like a hell of your time
• 1:03:30
  to me? Yeah, be the easy rider. Yeah, this gag here,
• 1:03:35
  I liked, But then I thought about the logic of it, and
• 1:03:37
  makes no sense, particularly from a visual perspective. So Largo being stuck on
• 1:03:42
  the roof, how did I get up here on the tractor? Right,
• 1:03:44
  it's a funny game. It's gone. But then you look at the ways
• 1:03:46
  designed. The tractor goes from the front of the roof and obviously it's the
• 1:03:52
  back of the roof, And I'm like, so the school's now only as
• 1:03:53
  deep as a tractor or it's one giant for contractor geography? Is your nitpick,
• 1:04:02
  isn't it? Yeah, well it's just look at the tractor. It's
• 1:04:05
  the size of the school. Who wouldn't notice that? But he got the
• 1:04:12
  job. Now that guilded truffle and crusty your rise with charity titters. I
• 1:04:15
  don't need your charity titters. By the way, he's my friend Charity titters
• 1:04:20
  And she goes to flash them. But then Hommer Marge now in bed.
• 1:04:24
  I thought Marge's ninety here was quite sexy. I think she We have often
• 1:04:30
  talked about, yes, Homer in Marge's bedroom action, and now it's pretty
• 1:04:34
  darn hot. We discussed it in our review of Summer four for two with
• 1:04:39
  one Will Washington from a w and we're discussing the whole. I don't know,
• 1:04:44
  we'll get plan for to night. Hommert account me out. It's like
• 1:04:47
  they obviously have a somewhat kinky sex life, but even like that, she
• 1:04:50
  was like, I'm not too sure about this, Like I'm down for something,
• 1:04:54
  but this not it a vigorous and rigorous sex life. Count me out.
• 1:05:01
  But um, yeah, that's one aspect of the of the Simpsons that
• 1:05:04
  I've always appreciated as an adult is just their flourishing sex life. You know,
• 1:05:09
  he's a fat, useless man, but you know, under clearly a
• 1:05:15
  demon in the sack. Yeah, demon in the sack, and Marge is
• 1:05:16
  all for it. But Homer has now got buzz Cola tastes great eat made
• 1:05:19
  potatoes. Apparently the cast and crew got a heap of free potatoes made potatoes
• 1:05:26
  as a result of this. Yeah, and it worked as well when they
• 1:05:30
  did kettle Chips the season before, so they said, any potato products they're
• 1:05:32
  in And then, um, and you wonder why Dan and I keep mentioning
• 1:05:36
  kfcing dolls on the show to keep just like retweeting it. Are you listening?
• 1:05:45
  They go, I don't care. But um, you know he's earning
• 1:05:51
  a hundred dollars a week and but the Maye Potatoes aren't paying him anything.
• 1:05:56
  He just wants a reminder to eat potatoes every week. Coach Crapt is now
• 1:06:00
  at the Guild of Truffle with his friend. I was with his family,
• 1:06:01
  I should say, and he yells at Willie tells him to go get um.
• 1:06:05
  You know, his wife had iced coffee or something. Did you see
• 1:06:09
  as he's walking off singing the song and where the weird lungs for the shack
• 1:06:12
  that where he lived, you see the bread still hitting him in the back
• 1:06:14
  of the head. I did Coach get throwing his bread at him? And
• 1:06:17
  then Largo in his vision, you know, he's singing the song as well.
• 1:06:21
  He's in the shack. He says, if I had your voice,
• 1:06:24
  i'd talk sing everything. It's funny how they've just they've just picked like four
• 1:06:28
  characters that never barely ever got lines and then just give them like so much
• 1:06:33
  now, Like Largo's one, the other who just there was. There's a
• 1:06:38
  couple. Cleardis gets more now than I think he used to. Yeah,
• 1:06:41
  absolutely is definitely the they've just lashed onto these characters for some God, no,
• 1:06:46
  I have no idea why they've done it, but they've done it.
• 1:06:48
  And Willie now, but he's miserable. You know, he misses his old
• 1:06:51
  life. He wants the old life back, and he says he's bloody miserable.
• 1:06:54
  He misses his miss I missed me crapshack as he puts it, and
• 1:06:58
  crusty. Then and he wants that table, and you know, Willy has
• 1:07:01
  a perfectly acceptable response here, there are plenty of other tables in this venue,
• 1:07:04
  so I want that one. And it's like, you just know that
• 1:07:08
  people have come across people like this. I want that booth just because you're
• 1:07:12
  in it. I want it. I want to exact my power. You
• 1:07:15
  must now move. This is now mine. But he doesn't want to pedal.
• 1:07:17
  He doesn't want to just for the power. He wants to be able
• 1:07:18
  to check out the yoga studio across the room. And he goes ah as
• 1:07:24
  guy said earlier about the sexy pants ads and then really says, you know
• 1:07:28
  there's a child present and crush. He doesn't care. So Willie reverts to
• 1:07:30
  old Willy and beat a share to Krusty. I was like, good for
• 1:07:34
  Willy yeah, sometimes he's gonna let the dog off the chain. It's nice
• 1:07:39
  to see him stand up for himself for a change, doesn't end for m
• 1:07:43
  and Volisa and for status quo. Well, but I mean, yeah,
• 1:07:47
  I mean I think he's partly doing that too, because he feels more comfortable
• 1:07:51
  as grands keeper Willy as opposed to J. K. Willington esquire. But
• 1:07:55
  also you know he's he's been refined to some degree. I mean, he's
• 1:07:58
  not gonna sit still. Why some leering clown besmirches a small child in the
• 1:08:02
  in the vicinity skinner them welcomes Willy back, and as soon as it's all
• 1:08:08
  the celebrations finished, you start cleaning up. Now I'm really's happy singing this
• 1:08:11
  song. Please express yourself through mopping. So gives me the keys through this
• 1:08:15
  new shack and they go to the new shack. Leasa's as she says,
• 1:08:16
  you know, it's exactly as it was, just a little at a difference.
• 1:08:19
  And he walks in, sees the home, sweet home, little thing
• 1:08:23
  on the wall, pretends he sad tells her to get out. You know,
• 1:08:27
  I just to myself like the way it was, He smashes it.
• 1:08:30
  This was nowhere near the crap shack that I thought it was going to be
• 1:08:33
  for you this episode. And guess what, I have to agree with you
• 1:08:38
  on that point. So yeah, I mean yeah, I can't deny.
• 1:08:42
  I was a little bit nervous going in. I had a little bit of
• 1:08:44
  trepidation and oh my god, this is more Willy than guy can handle.
• 1:08:47
  But boom, but it turned out to be just the right a man of
• 1:08:51
  Willie. But what do we learn, Palmer? What'd you learn from the
• 1:08:56
  episode? Mister Davis? Willie ain't all that bad? That a little bit
• 1:09:00
  of Willie isn't so bad if you're going to whip them out, wait till
• 1:09:04
  you're in the booth exactly right. I learned that Geelong needs more talking billboards.
• 1:09:10
  Do we have any I want talking to billboards? No? No,
• 1:09:14
  I mean, of course, how fucking loud must these things be? Like,
• 1:09:16
  I've never I don't think I've ever actually seen a talking billboard in my
• 1:09:18
  life. Have you? I don't think I've ever seen one. I mean
• 1:09:23
  I think I've seen one that has moving parts where it's like, yeah,
• 1:09:26
  yeah, oh it's waving at me. I'm definitely going to buy off that.
• 1:09:30
  I'm not at all terrified of it. But I don't think I've ever
• 1:09:34
  heard a talking one. I mean now now, of course Geelong is and
• 1:09:40
  everyone else is in the future, and you've got ads that are basically like
• 1:09:43
  big TV screens, like, Hey, wasn't that a billboard for such and
• 1:09:45
  such a minute ago? Now it's a billboard for something else. But whether
• 1:09:48
  they actually have volume, I don't know. I don't I've never heard it.
• 1:09:51
  From knee forward, your name shall be all right? It is time
• 1:09:56
  for the Guy David's New Name Championship. Here for Seas seventeen. The current
• 1:10:00

• 1:10:27
  while on Steve that gets him on now four points, while on Steve
• 1:10:30

• 1:10:43
  Adam Woolhouse think you for sending that one through. That now puts Adam all
• 1:10:46
  equal third third. Might look at the right one. Yeah, equal third,
• 1:10:49
  equal third with our Garrod, Kyle and Fergus all on six points.
• 1:10:54
  So while on Adam has now got a four way tie for third position.

• 1:11:00
  closer and closed. Luke, you better start sending those names through. Buddy.
• 1:11:04
  Well, let's see what happens with three points, because this is a
• 1:11:09
  nice bit of a well i'll tell you once we've done. But the three
• 1:11:12
  points goes to Willie's all that, oh take off, she's all that indeed,
• 1:11:16
  which is also a bit of a takeoff of my fair lady. Yes,
• 1:11:19
  it's very very good. That's um ah, it's Luke McKay. We
• 1:11:26
  didn't plan that. Okay, Well, so Luke's just climbed away again.
• 1:11:30
  They're getting closer and closer. Now Luke has got the three points, just
• 1:11:34
  looked and went yeah, yeah, see you later. So Lukes still in
• 1:11:39
  first position on twelve points now five points ahead of second, who is Heat

• 1:12:10
  some new names for the episode here. First question for the mail bag,
• 1:12:15
  This one comes from Norah Coker Mister Davis, and she says, what other
• 1:12:19
  musical would you like to see get the Simpsons parody treatment? And what would
• 1:12:23
  it look like? I can a grease one to be fun. That's a
• 1:12:26
  really good idea. Seeing margin homersing you're the one out of one would be
• 1:12:29
  I think it just put a smile on everybody's face. It would make everyone
• 1:12:31
  extremely happy. Yeah, um Chicago, I think would be a good one.
• 1:12:36
  Yeah, who would do the Chicago though? Missus Kay she did do
• 1:12:41
  the What was it with the balloons? What was the something she was popping
• 1:12:45
  him? Um, she's she's naked under the balloons. Fever, she got
• 1:12:47
  fever. She's popping the balloons and everyone's like, please kill me. And
• 1:12:51
  I'm like, missus Kay's naked under those balloons. What are you talking about?
• 1:12:54
  Is Kay? But Chicago missus Kay and Agnes and a few Elthers doing
• 1:13:00
  the cellblock tang. Yeah, it'd be awesome, of course, Yeah,
• 1:13:04
  it'd be great. Next question here, Mark Boston Burgess. Which Simpson's character
• 1:13:08
  would you want on your dodgeball team to unleash some bombardment? What gradskipper Willie?
• 1:13:12
  It's crazy man. That man is just filled with rage, and I
• 1:13:15
  think it's a key component to success in dodgeball slash bombardment. Who else good
• 1:13:20
  for bombardment? Well, Rainy would be a good catcher, would you,
• 1:13:25
  Rayol Castle, Yeah, it would be a good catcher. Do you think
• 1:13:29
  because if you catch the ball they're out as well? You know? Correct?
• 1:13:33
  Someone fearless or or just stupid? It would well maybe masochistic. I
• 1:13:40
  think you also need someone Yeah, Moby good. Actually, yeah, you
• 1:13:43
  need someone who can send out as well as just like a full boy,
• 1:13:45
  like like a decoy. Yeah, full boy. But here we go find
• 1:13:55
  another question, Andrew JP, which side character do you feel has gotten boring?
• 1:13:59
  I'm not a and a comic book guy. He's a tired parody of
• 1:14:01
  elitist, arrogant gate keeping geeks. That's a very good reason not to like
• 1:14:06
  a comic book guy. I don't know. I get the feeling he's been
• 1:14:10
  used relatively sparingly, certainly in the episodes that we've been watching recently, so
• 1:14:15
  I'm not that bummed to see him. Andrew JP, you're clearly a listener
• 1:14:20
  of the show, and you will have guests that when well, I'm certainly
• 1:14:25
  not a fan of Sideshow Mel showing up. I don't think Dando is either,
• 1:14:28
  unless you give him something halfway decent to do. But if he's just
• 1:14:30
  going to sort of pop up and say things like this, then that's the
• 1:14:33
  thing. There's no, there's nothing about Sideshow Mal. There's nothing to the
• 1:14:38
  character. He's just a guy that talks funny yeah, and even the yeah,
• 1:14:42
  even the voice isn't that funny. So look, I'm going to go
• 1:14:45
  with mel and probably clitist because you know I'm a snob an elitist. Clever
• 1:14:51
  Kyle says, did you ever have a favorite piece of clothing that you've worn
• 1:14:55
  out and nothing could ever replace it. I've definitely had a few shirts like
• 1:14:59
  my going out to the nightclub days where I'm like, this is like my
• 1:15:01
  this is my success shirt, like my way this I'm going to be six
• 1:15:03
  successful tonight. And what I like to do is sometimes I've got those old
• 1:15:09
  shirts when I was going out club and I put them on. I'm just
• 1:15:11
  like, these shirts can still fit me. Then I know I haven't let
• 1:15:14
  myself go. If the shirts that I wore out when I was eighteen nineteen
• 1:15:16
  and still fit me, now you're doing all right, Dando, We'll be
• 1:15:20
  putting it that way. Yeah. I mean, I've got a shirt in
• 1:15:23
  my cup in my closet that's like I was wearing this a day I got
• 1:15:27
  lucky with a girl that i'd had a crush on the goodness knows how long.
• 1:15:30
  So I'm like, you'll never going to themies sort of I'd like the
• 1:15:36
  end of Breakback Man. Occasionally I'll take it out and cuddle it. Sometimes
• 1:15:42
  I have shirts where I'm like, this shirt is so awesome and it's like
• 1:15:45
  it's a license shirt, but I'm like, they're never going to make a
• 1:15:47
  shirt with this license again. I need to keep this shot. It might
• 1:15:49
  be like an old school like ninety Star Wars short and I'm like shirt,
• 1:15:53
  and I'm like, they'll never make this shirt again, So I have to
• 1:15:56
  keep this shirt because it's just for the nostalgia factor if anything. Yeah,
• 1:16:00
  I've got one like that. It's I get where I first saw it,
• 1:16:04
  but it was sometime in the eighties and it was like some rock star was
• 1:16:08
  wearing it or some cool dude in some magazine. I'm like, that's a
• 1:16:11
  dope T shirt. It's for a record label called Nervous Records, and I
• 1:16:15
  had like this cartoon character getting scalped by like an LP and they had like
• 1:16:21
  a spike hair cut and it was sort of cutting off the spike their spike
• 1:16:25
  are. Yeah, And I found it in a in a local store one
• 1:16:29
  day, and I think I paid like an insane markup for it, but
• 1:16:32
  it was like, I gotta have it. This T shirt is gonna make
• 1:16:36
  me. And I still have it, but it's got holes in it and
• 1:16:42
  all that ship, and I don't really wear it anymore. But it's like
• 1:16:45
  I'm never throwing you out. I was like, yeah, I'll find it.
• 1:16:49
  I'll find a picture of the of the logo and put it up for
• 1:16:51
  the patrons. But yeah, I don't know whether you've ever actually followed through
• 1:16:57
  ever doing that. I used to be really good about at it, and
• 1:17:00
  now I'm not the first time I did it the first time, and then
• 1:17:06
  I did it at least the first three times, and none of the thirty
• 1:17:11
  three times since I final one to hear Georgie Catherine, what have you changed
• 1:17:15
  about yourself? Or maybe your lady changed for you even for one night,
• 1:17:17
  and thought, oh, now I'm fancy. I have a coat with fake
• 1:17:20
  fur on it, and every time I wear I feel like a wealthy heiress.
• 1:17:24
  I now have it in three different colors usually like you know, a
• 1:17:28
  new haircut usually makes you feel a bit spiffy, doesn't it? Well speak
• 1:17:31
  for yourself. Let's rub it in, brother, I am. I haven't
• 1:17:36
  paid for a haircut since I was about fifteen. My sisters cause my sister
• 1:17:40
  did a hairdressing course and she never became a hairdresser as she ended up doing
• 1:17:43
  your own thing. But she did the hair dressing course, so she does
• 1:17:45
  had a cut hair. So I'm like, I've not paid for a haircut
• 1:17:46
  in nearly twenty years. Good for you. Hair dressing is a wrought.
• 1:17:49
  It is. Back in the nineties when I was going with them, the
• 1:17:57
  woman who became my wife, I still had a bit of hair on top.
• 1:18:00
  I mean I was thinning, but I still had it just a half.
• 1:18:02
  And this is a round the time the fifth Element came out and we
• 1:18:06
  all know that Bruce was in that with his with his blonde hair, and
• 1:18:11
  yeah, and I you know, she knew how much I like Bruce.
• 1:18:15
  Have you ever thought about dying here? And I'm like I have now.
• 1:18:20
  Yeah. I dyed my hair that kind of that kind of blonde and with
• 1:18:24
  my coloring. It didn't really work. I mean it wasn't bad, But
• 1:18:28
  there's always the first the first couple of days of where you're really anxious as
• 1:18:30
  to what happy people are going to respond to it, because you're like,
• 1:18:32
  yeah, I like this, I feel like this is working. But if
• 1:18:35
  no one else likes I'm going to revert straight back to how it was.
• 1:18:40
  It's um, do you know the TV show Freaks and geeks. Yeah,
• 1:18:44
  yeah, of course you do. It's a great episode in that where Sam,
• 1:18:49
  the main geek, he's been sort of conned into buying what's called a
• 1:18:57
  Parisian night suit by this by the the guy the salon at the mall,
• 1:19:02
  and it's basically like a jumpsuit in powder blue. It's like the guy that
• 1:19:05
  sold you the jeans in the States that time. Yeah, I'm kind of
• 1:19:11
  put on eBay because I didn't fit into them then and I certainly don't fit
• 1:19:15
  into them mail. Yeah, if it were just a pair of size what
• 1:19:20
  thirty three? Levi's get in touch. But yeah, Sam, you know,
• 1:19:28
  rocks into school and he's thinking checking out the stylish new look for Sam
• 1:19:32
  and was just like he thought he was such such terrific acting by that kid
• 1:19:40
  that he sort of realized, oh shit, oh fuck, I'm terrible in
• 1:19:43
  this. Everyone's laughing at And it was at that moment that he realized he
• 1:19:48
  sucked up. Yeah, mistake. Yeah, all right, guys, Well,
