• 0:42
  Speaker 4: of four Finger Discounts, where this week we hit the
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: review episode Once Upon a Time in Springfield.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: I'm Dando and I am guy look off mellowd out.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: A little bit. Since our previous episode of four Finger
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Discount I realized I was quite vehement in my venom
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: about Once upon a Time in Springfield. I still don't
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: like maybe dislike it a little less than I did before,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: but I still don't think this is a very good
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: episode of the Simpsons.
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: I'm interested to hear your thoughts as to why, but
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: we shall get into that in the moment.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: First of all, how are you doing? Yeah? All right?
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Too bad? Feeling good? At summertime here in Australia.
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: Where the weather was fine up and touched the sky
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: where the living is easy. Suppose have you got women
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: on your mind always?
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: But only one? Mean mother? No? All good at in
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: this neck of the woods, how about you? Yeah? Really good?
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: As I said last week on the podcast that we
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: got hacked?
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Was it last week?
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: Maybe it's depending on what's coming out, what the real
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: es date the last episode that we did a review,
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: we nearly got hacked. All the page you get hacked,
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: but thankfully Facebook saved us. I was thankful for that.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: But yeah, Holly started school. Now can you believe I've
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: got two school kids?
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Can you believe it? People?
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: When they if you've been listening to this show from
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: the start, started off as just me young whipper snipper,
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: Dano just whip a snapper whi snipper, that's the side gig. Yes, yes,
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: we'p a snap of Dando doing the show with Mitch.
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: No kids, you know, just newly married, full of life,
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: still full of life in a new way. But you know,
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: I've now got two kids. One's now in grade two
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: and one has just started what we call prep, so
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: that the first year of school here in Australia. And
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: it's a weird feeling because Holly's always been like the baby, right,
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: and it comes to a point where you sort of
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: realize you gotta stop treating her as the baby because
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: she's not a baby anymore. Because she's always the youngest,
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: you just naturally do that. I was like, you can't
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: be going to school. You're like your baby, Holly, because you,
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: holy baby, you're the baby. And then the second day
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: of dropping her off. First day, Nichola was shut the
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: day off of course to be there for the first day.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: Second day, dropped her off. Holly pretty much. We arrived
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: and she just put her bag down. She run up
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: to the playground. I was like, that's cool. I was
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: talking to one of the parents and then the bell
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: went and Holly just ran out to a bag and
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: started walking in. I was like, Holly, He's like goodbye,
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: and she goes bye. I was like, I have a hug.
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: She's like okay. I'm thinking, don't fucking okay me just
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: second days, your holy baby, what are you doing. I
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: was like, my daughter doesn't need what she needs me.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: But you know, she's like, she's independent, she's a kid now.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: It's all I have to say to this Dan. There
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: was the Cats in the Cradle and the Silver spear Man.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: It was just a moment when I've realized, oh Holly,
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: she's she's grown up.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Hey, well, look on the bright side, now you have
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: so much more time to devote to podcasting.
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: Yes, indeed more time to spend with you.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Also, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, traded in Mitch One
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: might say you're upgraded. Who knows. Yeah, oh, life it's
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: always changing.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm looking forward to doing this reviewer because I
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: really liked this episode once upon a time in Springfield.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: You didn't like it.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: I did not like and that's fine, you know, Yeah,
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: it's okay to not like the same things.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: How many times have we said to our power Lennon
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Moulton on the movie Guard with Mountain Dame, it's like,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: it's all right if we don't agree about this movie.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: Sometimes this is when we're suggesting a film to review
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: and he's like, I didn't like that one.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: That's okay, tell us why? Yeah.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: I feel like people like hearing criticism as opposed to
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: praise these days.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean, and criticism not necessarily sledging. Criticism
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: is analysis of looking at it with a critical eyes, like,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: well this worked for me, and here's why. As opposed
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: to this sucks.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: I mean, that's as long as criticism, but justification as
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: to why it sucks.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. Yeah, informed opinion. Now that's what separates
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: the Lennard Moultons from say the Guy Davis'.
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: Before you get into why you thought this episode sucked,

  Speaker 2: how computers work.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes, now, once upon a time in springfeit, I'll
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: tell you what I did. Like I tell I've written here,
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: I thought this was a delightful episode that for me,
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: really showed after twenty one years, the Simpsons can still
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: deliver funny and an emotional story with a well deserved,
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: heartfelt ending that sends the audience home happy. So I
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: didn't think you could watch this ending and not feel
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: sort of like, oh, that's good for Krusty. And the
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: reason I say this is because Krusty earned that ending.
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: I feel like the writing earned that ending, because when
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: Penelope first showed her love for Krusty, the character of
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: Krusty to me, didn't deserve this. He didn't deserve this
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: love and adulation. I don't think he even gave back
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: the love that she deserved as well. Princess Penelope no right,
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: And I'm thinking, why does this douchebag deserve this love
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: from this beautiful, intelligent, clearly no great woman, right. And
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: then we have the wedding scene where he sees previous
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: ex wives and we're getting to Barton mill has trying
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: to ruin the wedding yahd YadA YadA, but Krusty sees
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: it and goes, you know what, I actually respect you
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: and love you enough to know I don't want to
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: put you through that I can't marry you. And it's
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: because I don't want to marry you. It's just I
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: don't want I know where it will likely end. And
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: he and he doesn't and then at the end and
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: she acknowledges that she goes, look, that's your decision.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: She's sad.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: In France, Krusty has changed his mind and he's changed
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: his ways for how long we don't know, correct, But
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: I thought it was nice for the Krusty character to
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: get some sort of evolution here where he went, I am,
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: I've been a horrible person, but I've seen what it
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: is required to be a better person, and you are
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: bringing out the better person out of me.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Okay. I like where you're coming from, and I think
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: that idea of Krusty having that realization at the altar
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: of this woman's too good for me. I've been bad
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: to women my entire life. I've been a bad partner,
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: a bad husband, and all that kind of stuff. It
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: would yeah, I love you too much to marry you.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: I think that's it brought you through that. Yeah, I
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: think that's not a bad idea. And my problem is
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: everything leading up to the episode does not really letting
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: us to the wedding. Leading up to the wedding, it
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: does not really earn it okay. To me, it just
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: struck me as like, Okay, Princess Menlope has come on.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: She's taken over the show. She's the opposite of everything
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: that Krusty does. To me, it felt like you didn't
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: see that much interaction between Vanelope and Krusty before You've
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: got the scene in the dressing room which she said
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: I'd love you since I was twelve years old or so.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: They felt weir, but I get I get what it means. Yeah, yeah,
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden it's like love fantastic
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff.
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: To me, this could have been best suited as a
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: one hour episode. I think I think so two parter, yeah,
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: saying there was so much to this story that I
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: had to get chopped out for the sake of twenty
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: two minutes.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: There needed to be a whole, not necessarily opposites a
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: track thing, but it needed to be Princess Penelope is
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: lovely and she wants nothing but good for Krusty. And
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: she's like, it can be our show, you know, And
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: you know, look, some of the stuff you do is
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: good for boys, and some of the stuff I do
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: is good for girls. And some of the stuff we
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: do together is good for both. And he's like, no,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: I like the old way. I like doing things my way.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Blah blah blah bah. He slowly comes around her way
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: of thinking, and yeah, they make each other not better people,
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: but they sort of become more of a team. Now.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: I never really felt that throughout the episode until you
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: get that I love you, Crusty.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: He's like, oh, wow, okay, great, I mean love. So
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: if it felt rushed, yes, it didn't earn it. I'm
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: thinking right now top of my head as you explain
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: that a scene where you can have Krusty, you can
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: have Crusty's do what you did first, where he's like, no,
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: I like the old ways, and then you can have
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: Crusty walking down the hallway and he overhears a meeting
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: between or Penelope's dressing room and the executives are and
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: they're like, look, we're making so much more money. Now,
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: let's just get rid of Crusty. And she goes, Now,
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: Crusty is the heart and soul of this show. She goes,
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: I don't want to ge rid of and he hears
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: that and goes, oh, I've been too hard on her.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and she's actually, well, she's actually a good person
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: as opposed to someone who's come to steal my show. Yeah,
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: let's make it the Princess Penelope Experience featuring Crusty. No, no, no, no,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: this is the Krusty Show. Yeah, and eventually it could
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: be the Krusty and Penelope Show. But no, no, we're not.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: We're not kicking him out. He's yeah, as he said,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: he's the heart and soul as opposed to you. I
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: just love you because I've always loved you. Correct.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: They can build up the relationship that way because I
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: get the feeling. I mean, we can work together as
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: a team. And once he works together the team, he's like,
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: oh my god, now I'm.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: In love with her. Yeah, it's called the you know,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: it's called Krusty Lou Studios, which is a play on Desilou,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: which was Lucille Ball's company, you know, des and Lucille Ball.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: And I mean Dess was a talented guy, but lucill
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Wall was clearly the driver that of course. Sure, yeah, yeah,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: but I mean it would have been great if they
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: these two realize, oh, we're two strong personalities. Oh we
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: love each other, but we are sometimes we clash all that.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: It could have been like a Desioners and Lucier Ball
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: kind of analogue. But again, we've only got twenty something
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: minutes to work with here.
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: You could also you could also have Crusty coming to
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: the realization, you know what, maybe it's time to pass
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: the torch and have that moment in the dress room
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: where he's he's everheard and he and they start working
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: together as a team, and then he goes, I think
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: I'm going to give you the show. Now he goes,
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: I don't. I think I'm used today's today's news. You
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: are than news, And that's where she confesses her love
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: for him. That's not just in that way, it's not
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: out of the blue. She's like, no, no, I've loved you.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: For so long.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: You are a great person. As a team, w will
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: be the best that we can be.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah. See, I mean literally I'm biased because we're we're
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: coming up with the other it is, but I already
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: think that's better because to me, it's like when we
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: talked about those days with baby. I mean I think
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: that had like a solid idea in it or a
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: solid theme in it. It just goes about everything in
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: the most lazy, lame, slapdash way.
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: The easiest way to make this work is to just
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: get rid of the B plot, because the B plot
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: serves as absolutely no purpose of all anyway. Yeah, that's
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: all right, none that the B plot doesn't interfere or
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: interact with the A plot in any way. So just
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: take out the B plot. Put that in a different
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: episode cause I didn't mind the beeple, But put that
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: in a different episodes somewhere. Oh yeah, I mean, and
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: then and then, and then just have this one with
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: the full because this story here, if it had the
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: full twenty two dedicated to it, you can flash it out.
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I mean, you could do a whole episode
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: about there's a new there's a Capital city, yeah, the
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: Cap City plant, or there's yeah, there's a new employer
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: in town. It's like, we'll give we'll give the workers
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: everything they want, I mean everything that you know, it's
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: workers as supposedly. Wow, a great healthcare plan, oh wow,
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: humane working conditions, and you know.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: They should really take this. This is the golden opportunity.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: This is what everybody wants. And then at the end
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: there's they're so dumb and greedy, and so was like, wait,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: we get these dope donuts twice a day, Okay, no
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: health plan? Yeah, yeah, I'll take that in favor of Yeah,
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: in favor of what's right for the workers. Well, I've
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: been saying that would have been a great whole episode. Yeah,
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: I've been saying for a long time. I hate what
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: Burns has become. I felt this was as close to
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: classic Burns as we've got, where he's groveling, but he's growling,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: but he's got an endgame, that's right. Yeah, I mean
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: he can't be he can be old and kind of
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: pathetic or decrepit in some ways, but he's still got
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: to have teeth. He's still got to and even he's
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: more dangerous because he's been around so long and he
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: knows how Yeah, is rich and that makes him dangerous,
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: or it makes him a threat in some ways, or
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: it makes him kind of a tyrant or over but yeah,
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: mainly he's guys like, I can I think you an
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: out scheme because doing this forever. Yeah. Yeah, he's always
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: wants to bed.
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: He knew they're going to ask for a health plan,
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: so he's like, well, I've got two doughnuts. He's already
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: got it ready to go.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah. That's great if you had that a whole episode,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, or as the a plot in another episode
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: with a with a because we didn't really see why
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: they were trying to scout these three. Yeah, and it
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: seems like they're the only employees at the Springfield.
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think what you need to do is
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: you need to have them Homer and Lenny telling the
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: other guys and everyone else leaving the Springfield plant to.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Go to this plant. Yeah. Have them a sort of
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: we're losing employees everywhere. Have them are sort of the delegates. Yeah. Yeah.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: But honestly, I think the a plot of this involving
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Princess Melby, Yeah, could have been its whole own story.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: But the way they went about and you touched on
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: this a little earlier, but yeah, Krusty realizing, oh, my
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: style of comedy is perhaps not what it used to be.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: It's not in they've touched on this and other episodes
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: as well. Yeah, but got them with the ponytail cigarette.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: That's great. And then realizing, oh, well, yeah, maybe kids
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: are into princesses and Princess Penelope and she's the new
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: wave of things. I'll step aside or whatever. But no,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: and no, no, we can work together and it'd be great.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: I want to work together. Yeah. I think that's a
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: good idea, and they sort of touched on it in
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: this episode. But the way they go about it, it
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: just feels so we're using this. I feel like we're
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: using this term a fair bit. We we're talking about
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: modern Simpsons is mean spirited. Yeah, it's kind of like
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: they're sympathizing with Barton Millhouse, who are kind of like
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: it's for girls now and girls things suck, And I mean, look,
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: I've been guilty of this is like WHA's everything's howing? Clusion?
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: I why just make your own storage? But it's like,
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know the way they were going about it
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: just felt kind of cruel.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: I'm trying to work on the idea had before where
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: he says we can work as a team, maybe you
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: could also have that, you know. They start working as
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: a team and Krusty starts falling in love with her,
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: and he's like, I can't. I'm falling in love with
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: this girl, and I can't work with it because I just,
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: I just I'm getting too close. And look, we need
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: to separate because I'm falling in love with you. And
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: that's where she says, I love you too. I think, oh,
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: yeah's for all your faults and now to say the
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: whole I've loved you since I was twelve years old.
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: I've seen you at your worst, and she goes, but
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: I've seen you at your best as well, that's right,
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: and I love you for everything about you.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: And it's like, that's classic. That's wrong. Com one. I won.
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, there we go. I mean, and you can
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: still have the wedding moment. As a result, they're going, look,
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: look all my previous marriagers didn't work. I can't put
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: you through this. She's like, no, no, I still love you.
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: He's like, no, I can't do it, and you can
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: still have that ending.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you have some scene beforehand where you know, where
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: he's confronted by one or two of the x Yves.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, this isn't the.
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: It's like, should moved to France? And why is she
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: still Princess PELOPI? Yeah, that's the thing.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: What happened here? Yeah, the whole bit in France at
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: the end. I know, I know you like it. No,
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: I like anything to do with Paris. But at the
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: same time, it's like, I don't get this. Why is
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: she giving up all the success? Yeah? Admittedly, look you're
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: getting Anne Hathaway to sing some more stuff. She's got
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: a lovely singing voice.
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: And why would they keep Krusty and not Princess Penelope
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: if they're going to pick one of the two? The
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: exactly is I'm talking about it?
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: That's right. Unless you know, we sort of see we
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: have just a moment where it's kind of like Crusty,
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: your cue readings are through the roof, you know, kids
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: love you again, and it's like, yeah, they put back
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: the krusty merchandise. You know, you have wise guys that
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: have had to dig around in the in the dumpster.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: It's like, oh, I got I get all this stuff out.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: You know, they're trying to sell krusty merchant that's got
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: cruddle over it. Yeah, there you go. I think that'd
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: be kind of funny. Well.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: The thing that the logic about this, though I didn't
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: quite understand, right, is is so they're trying to get
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: girls to tune in, right, But if you're scaring away
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: all the boys and you're having girls instead, then what
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: was the point? Yeah, because you're scaring away one half
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: of your audience.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: That's the thing. Even allude to that in the episode,
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: because I mean, the Simpson has done such a great
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: job in the past, and I'm sorry to be the
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: guy who says, oh, they used to do it better,
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: but I mean they used to really kick the ship
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: out of pretentious executives and quote unquoe creative producers that
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: didn't really know what the fun Yeah. Yeah, And the
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: ones they've got at the start here are just like
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: this is such this is such so lazy. This is
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: just feels so lazy with these guys, with these two
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: Wes Lindsey, Yeah exactly. Here's a dog that gets biz
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: a consistently and thoroughly put it on my tombstone, and yeah,
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: have them sort of be oh, like, oh, we got
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: this great idea, We're going to attract female markets, Like,
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: but wait a minute, we lost the boys sort of
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: runofs what about the boys who just think, yeah, they've
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: got all these buzzwords and they've got these sort of
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: quote unquite great ideas, and it's like, oh, wait, we
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: messed up. It's the great we don't know anything.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: The guy selling the lips and it's like, what else
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: can you do with them?
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Make you sure? So we go down to my basement.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: So there you go. Okay, look there's the germ of
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: a good idea. I'm fine for myself, sort of saying
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: that a lot about the Simpsons these days. But yeah,
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: I just don't think it was executed all that well.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: I think I get the feeling there was.
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: Too much try to stuffed in when you could have
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: separated these two. It had two really fully fleshed up
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: that's correct. I still really enjoyed it for what it was,
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: but I think in particular what I loved was just
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: An Hathaway's performance as Princess Penelope. This is a character
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: who've never met before, right, And I think by the
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: end of this I had more of an emotional connection
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: to this character than I have for many of the
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: characters we've had for the last year. I thought, she
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: added again, it's just Ane Hathaway.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's hard not to love an Hathway. But
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: I just think she just adds this real sense of
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: realism and believability to this characters, Like I can believe
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: that Princess Penelope actually does love Trusty.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: I'm not buying it as much as you are, but
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: I do like the performance. Look, it's kind of a shortcut,
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: I guess.
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: I'm just I was glad because I couldn't really remember
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: how this one ended. I'm just glad that Princess Penelope
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: because we know that the male dominated writing room of
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: the Simpsons, right, you know the gags we tend to
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: get women am all right. I'm just glad that once
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: she did that, it wasn't her pretending to love him
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: to get further and further her career. She just genuinely
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: loved him, which I thought, Okay, Well, that's nice, okay,
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: because they could have easily have gone the whole Oh
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: that woman, she's using crusty.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: That's a good point. That's a good point as I
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: was about to say, it's a bit of a comedy
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: shortcut when you have someone who seems very pretty and
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: particular and perfect in every way, and then when you
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: hear their real words, it's kind of like, yeah, straight
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: out of Straight out of Jersey or something in Long Island.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: They don't do that again. They show that once when
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: she's on the phone, but then she just told and
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: then she does talks like Ann Hathaway. Yeah, so she
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: doesn't Penelope. Yeah.
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: So you're hear on the phone talking like that and
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: you think, oh so, and that's the because that's to
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: say what she give messes her love. And I was like, ah,
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: so is she not who she's meant? But then it
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: was just weird because look, what's the point showing her
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: voice like that if she's not going to use that
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: voice for the rest of the episode.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: But it's always a good comedy shortcut. I mean SNL
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: does it all the time. Every time they have Scarlet
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Johnson on, she always plays this sort of recurring character.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: This not every time, but for a while her dad
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: was like sold really techy like garden furniture and stuff
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: for the house, and she'd come on board. It's like
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: you've got her on these things. Look at this one,
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: look at that one, and it's beautiful skeleton Hanson talking
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: like this, It's like, it's pretty funny. I'm always flowed.
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: When I hear British actors speaking in their accent, when
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: you've just known for all their American voice roles. I
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: like Leam Nisan for example, Like when I was a kid,
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: he was Obi Wan and Quie gone right, and then
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: I was like, hey on British and the Millie Bobby Brown,
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: I forgot she was British, right. And I watched the
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: documentary for Strange Things five and I was like, hang
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: on a minute now, and there's a few other things
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: we need to touch on here. So this was promoted
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: as the four undred and fiftieth EPISO, so they're trying
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: to treat it as like a special because at the
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: end it says thanks to twenty years and the best
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: is yet to come, YadA, YadA, YadA. And it was
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: aired alongside I never I remember watching it, but it
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: was just, yeah, it's kind of like just forgotten about now.
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: The twentieth anniversary special The Simpsons in three D on
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: ice because it was directed by Morgan's Spurlock.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: You see that the supersize supercize me. Yeah, Rip Morgan.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: He's been along with us.
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: He's no longer with us, but apparently had some controversies
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: and whatnot. So this special just sort of just it
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: was probably on YouTube somewhere, but it's just it's not.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: Deemed problematic after the fact. Yeah. Yeah, probably the whole
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: supersizing anything was kind of a roost or something.
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: I'm not too sure whatever. Yeah, I remember watching his
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: going I'm not buying this at all.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: I remember watching I'm buying a big maga for this.
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: I want to be the guy. It's all the big Max.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: But there wasn't the fortund and fiftieth episode. It was
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: the four to fifty first last week Thursdays of Abby
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: was the four to fiftieth, And they like those episodes
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: even worse than this one. So let's just let's kind
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: of it's weird. Why they why they do that, Why
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: they would say it's the found and fiftieth episode, but
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: it's not true.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: It doesn't really make it that whole, that whole bit
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: at the end that coming up thanks for twenty wonderful years.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: The Bestie like kind of felt like a joke, but
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: it's like injecting this weird sincerity. I mean, after Middlely,
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: after a quite sincere ending. But like so, I am
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: using the term unearned a lot. I thought it was earned.
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but the it's al Jean has said that he
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: thought this is one of the five essential episodes in
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: the show's history.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: Okay, well I disagree with al Jean, but that's all right.
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: And Hathaway she won the Primetime Emmy Award for her
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: Voice of performance here. She won two awards for it
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: this episode and it also has a various other guest stars.
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: Power Maruice Lamash appears in this again. He is the
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: nuclear power plant security guard. Gary Larson appears at the
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: power plant as well.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: As we were touched on.
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: Jackie Mason returns as as Rusty's dad, but we get
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: an appearance of from Earth the Kit now Earth Kitty,
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: actual Earth Kid? Was it the actual Earth of Kid? Yeah,
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: who's one of Crusty's last wife. She recorded this just
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: before she passed away, so she passed away before this
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: episode air, but she recorded it in time, which is
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: why the episode was dedicated to her.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: Indeed, and yeah, she's doing a play on her performance
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: in the Adam West Batman as Catwoman. I was doing
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: cat puns. Rror the kid. What a character? What a
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: great name? Earth a Kit? Yeah, earth a Kit And
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: it sounds like something you buy Bunnings, but instead it's
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: just a dope name for a great lady.
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: And it's just her real name, Eartha may Kit. What
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: a lady? Indeed, I remember she's saying Santa Baby. I
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: think you know. I'm pretty sure I've heard a version
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: of Santa Baby. It's just like, oh my, now, guys,

  Speaker 4: I'm assuming you don't have many, but I didn't mind
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: Krusty here where So Princess Pinelope is talking about how
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: she used to like watching Crusty on the specific station
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: and he's like, oh yeah, there's a fat station. Manager's like,
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: that's my dad. Great guy.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: Crusty is no dummy.
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: I'll like to debait and switch of Crusty in the
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: water at the end, so you think, oh, he's staying
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: next to on the bridge and he's not there. I'm like, oh, no,
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: he's in the water's bolt, he's falling off the boat.
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: And finally Homer here when bart is talking about women
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: ruining everything and Hamah says, you say that now, but
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: when you're older, you'll just think it.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: It's yes, it is actually very true unless you're a podcast.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: As I mentioned before, I like when Ann Hathaway sort
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: of puts on the blue collar voice. I thought that
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: was good and I thought this was quite an app line.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: If new writers knew how to abuld girls, they wouldn't
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: be Next question you there eating the.
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: Beast trivia time. My first question for you is what
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: was Lenny's id badge name a fake one?
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Was it? Some have been lazy, some have been sleeping,
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: some have been sleeping. I think some have been lazies.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: Might be him a bit better.
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: But it's been as in bean, some as bean lazy.
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: So it's being as opposed to bean. Depends on bean
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: or bean. Yeah, yeahah, both ways.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Margin makes donuts. What is the missing rainbow sprinkle? That
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: would be violet? That is correct.
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: My next question for you is in what year did
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: Look magazine say Krusty is one of the one hundred
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: most promising clowns.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: Oh, nineteen eighty two, it's fifty eight, fifty eight. How
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: old is Krusty? That's a good question.
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: Now I don't really I suppose that would make Crusty
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: like mid fifties. At this point is yeah.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: I get the feling. You probably realy know this. It
• 24:52

• 25:12

• 25:19

  Speaker 4: aired jenerally tenth twenty and ten. The top three films
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: at the box office are still the same three films.
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: Alvin and the Chipmunks, The Squiggle, Shelock Holmes and Avatar
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: still one, two and three, respectively.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: Good luck knock an Avatar off the top spot.
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, number one for a long time, Like just made
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: the movie was a long time. They're all a long time,
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: aren't they. Yeah, unecessary. You can cut out at least
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: an hour of those films, I reckon, I think so.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: So the sign gag, what was the billboard gag?
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: This one? This was still suckond after twenty years.
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: The fox that worked a picture of Maggie. Yes, the
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: chopboall gag the world may end in twenty twelve, but
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: this show won't. And the cash gag the couch is
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: seen inside a human egg. Each family member is a
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: sperm cell swimming towards and penetrating the egg to sit
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: on the couch. Conceptions cells, Yeah, then device multiple times,
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: forming a mister Burns embryo whose first words are excellent.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: Doesn't really say excellent that much anymore, do they? No?
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: He doesn't, no, but he doesn't really scheme much anymore.
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: This would have been the perfect episode to haven't go excellent.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: That's right, Yeah, he used to say that.
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, once they go well, I suppose the payoff for
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: that joke was it cuts to them working at the
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: power plan again. But if they haven't agreed in that moment, right,
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: we'll give up the health plan for the two donuts.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: Excellent Yes, Yeah, turn around excellent Yes.
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: Written by Stephanie Gillis and directed by Matthew and a
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: Stack production code LA b F two zero. The episode
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: kicks off with Krusty and Mister Teeny on their show
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: shooting flaming arrows at each other, and they hit side
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: Show Mal just being very cruel to side show Mal.
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: So they replaced side Show Mal, did they? That's another
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: element of this story is the Krusty Show and Princess
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: Penelbe Show. But we don't see side show Mal on
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: the show. Yeah, it's almost like you just got replaced.
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: But we don't see Mal annoyed by this or anything
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: like that. But Homer about laughing at this. Marge says
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: that comedy should come from people being nice, and I says, no,
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: a good old block on the head is what you need.
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: Man hits you on the head and Homer says, that's
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: not funny. They now go off the air and crusty,
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: as I'm assuming many people, once the lights and cameras
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: are off, becomes a very different person.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: To give those saving barns and one of those hats
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: and toys and whatever. Yeah, one can only imagine Oprah
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: saying you don't get a car, You don't get a car.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: Great show, krusty, terrific.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: We've got to make changes, big changes. These are your
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: ratings with young girls. Hey, my writers know how to
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: appeal the girls. They wouldn't be riders.
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: They said they're going to give him a female co host,
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: and he refused. He says, no, it's not going to happen.
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: And they said, well, we've got a reality show in order
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: to help replace you. Two American Isle references here in
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: this episode.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: So a little bit.
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: Later on they say magical, he says, imagine American.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: Idol without Paul or a doll.
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but it's amazing to me. I was saying to
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: Nicola recently, I cannot believe that I walked through cry
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: Village Local Reference, you know, local shopping plaza here in
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: Geelong about a week ago.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: Slash danger zone. Yes it's not so bad anymore.
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: But yeah, walked through there and about a week ago
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: and it said coming soon, new season of Australian Idol.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: I'm like, we're still doing this. Oh yeah, we're still
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: doing this. Twenty years later. I'm still doing it. But
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: all these there's a handful of concepts that keep getting
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: recycled and keep being sort of handballed from network to network.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: Big Brother keeps coming back.
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah that quick that came and went fast, didn't it.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, but it'll be back again in like two
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: or three years, you know, and with for like fucking
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: six weeks or something this week this year. Yeah, but
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: likewise with the Idol, likewise with I guess, I guess
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: the voice. Yeah, the voice is definitely one of those
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: what's that the master singer? Oh yeah, we don't really
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: I think they're still going strong in the States. So
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: I think we had it for a little while and
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: now not as much as we used to.
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, imported. Lindsay Loan is one of the Linzilnham as
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: a guest. Yeah, she was one of the judges.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: Her and like Easy and someone else Kerry Big or something.
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: Jesus anyway, but they say we're going to be host
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: having a reality show to replace you as hey, hey, I'm
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: non union.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: Then he agrees.
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: He says basically, please don't replace me, make me like
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: all the other crap in your network. And I just thought,
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: I can imagine a lot of other people have had
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: this meeting where they've said we need the change is
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: show and have gone no, they're or just replacing of like, okay,
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: then I'll do what you say, make me like all
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: the other crap in your network. Which to me, especially
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: in twenty twenty six, you watch these shows and they're
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: all the same. It's all the same. They look the same,
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: they get the same faces on there, they sound the same,
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: the template is the same. It's just reality shows are
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: all the exact same format.
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: Now very much that they're all about here, the journey
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: and the behind the scenes kind of vismatic happens. Dude.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean because you're.
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: I'm not really spigging to the reality shows like the
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: maths and things I watch. We watch Highway Patrol and
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: Border SECU. We used to watch a bit, but I
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: don't really watch that. But you're big entiight night math
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: snack kind of stuff.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll marry. The first Sight Australia has returned and yeah,
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: Louise and I watched, yeah, the first couple of episodes
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: the other night and it's like, well, look at the
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: formula is very obvious now it always has been, but
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: you know they're sort of trying to establish Oh there's
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: tension between these guys at the beginning. They don't like
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: each other, but you know, oh but he might be
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: a good guy and I think she might be a
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: bit of a princess. But she's got a point, so
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: to say, Like we can you can see the seams,
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: you can see what's what's going on here and even
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: stuff it's like, oh my god, the dramma. That's like, well,
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: clearly you've told you've given the gay best friend a
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: line and blow and just be outrageous.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: No, worries it's mart hand to shine.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So it happens all the time, and there's I'm
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: sure that when we're a line of blow be outrageous.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: We've been very we've been very fortunate talking to the
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: brain strung behind the Simpsons as of late, we've been
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: talking to guys like Josh and Bill, Yeah, and and
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: Mike and these are all first name basis now because
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: they're aund buddies. Mark Kirkle is coming on, Matt Selmon's
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: coming on soon. Yes, say that he is busy other people,
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: but they'll say, how you know. There's people come tune
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: into shows for some degree of want, a better degree
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: of predictability, but also some degree of comforts, like I
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: know how this is going to work.
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, is the sense of making themselves feel better about
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: themselves as well?
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: That certainly.
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: But then Marge has a new frying machine, a fry girl.
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: She wants to make some donuts and she makes Sprinkles
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: donuts for bar. He says it's no violet, and she says,
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: well don't well, don't eat it, eat it. And Homan
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: then ponders about the donuts that are at work, because
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: apparently they're better the ones in the pink boxes and
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: he's talking about them.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: He drives all the.
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: Way to work, drives through the gates, and the guy says,
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: what don't you try to stop him, and he goes
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: I did once, and the guy's got no arm.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: I didn't put this as a favorite moment. I actually
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: kind of like this line. I thought it worked about
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: the square masculine edges of the boxes bumping up against
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: the rounded feminine curves of the don that's not bad.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: I kind of like that idea. I like that concept.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: Home and then finds there's no pink box though in
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: the what do you call it? The well, then on
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: the table the lunch rooms, he caught. Yeah, what a
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: pink box? What's going on?
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: I'm afraid to daily donuts no more.
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: You cannil.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: Mister Roosevelt's new deal starts working.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: This country still in a depression.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: I'm spending a fortune on atams, and we have to
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: cut costs. But we have way more expensive unnecessaries than donuts.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like the ceiling furniture are all the joke id badges.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: We order no donuts now, donuts.
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: Exactly that you probably could have had excellent there kind
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: of exactly is better. Yeah, Krusty then begrudgingly introduces Princess Penelope,
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: who immediately just sweeps every little girl off her feet,
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: doesn't she.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: Now this kind of was a bit of a bait
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: and switch from me because I was expecting that, Oh, okay,
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: she's on the Crusty show. She's Oh, she's a perfect princess,
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden she burps or something,
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: or fats or whatever. It's just more low bowner comedy,
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: but in the guise of a princess. But no, she's
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: just a princess doing princess things.
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: And as the father of a young girl, people often
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: say to her because you, holy sh she has a
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: little lipsticks and things like that. She dresses like princess dresses.
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: We've had a couple of people say you shouldn't push
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: a girl stereotypes under her, and I go, first of all,
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: you don't have a daughter, And second of all, do
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: you think I'm pushing these things? She's just she just
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: enjoys it. Why am I going to say no, this,
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: this makes you fall into the stereotype. You can't do that.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: She fucking wants the very addressy to wear address. That's
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: absolutely the case. Look, I don't want to sound all
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: sort of Internet philosopher slash, you know, biological determinists or whatever.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: Like well, now the saying says this, but I've heard
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: so much Anagotal Evans and red so much sort of
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: data about you. Let if you put a bunch of
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: boys out to play, yeah, one's gonna have a broken arm. Yeah.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: And also you know three of them are going to
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: pick up sticks and pretend they're gun. You could you
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: could have been showing them Princess Penelope from day one.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: You could have been blasting that ship to them when
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: they're in the womb throwing mud pies at each other
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: and that. Yeah, they that's sort of like biological that's
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: just innate. Yeah. And likewise, with girls and princess I'm
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: not saying that everything is like that, but certainly there
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: are large parts that are like that.
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: But as we're saying here, so she's Princess Penelope. Lisa
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: at first isn't swept away until she sees the unicorn.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: And of course Bart and Milhouse don't like her at
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: all at moso. The guys are very sad.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: It just strikes me as so odd that, look, this
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: is me playing real world logic to this episode of
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: the symptoms, Like I wanted to just create the Princess
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: Penelope show like Backdoor Pilot.
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, well that's what the Muppets That special is
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: going to be tomorrow. Yeah yeah.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: And now our new friend, Princess Banalobe and she comes
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: on like five minutes in. It's like, and if I
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: like that kids, do you an end of the Princes's
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: Vanillai show right after the Krusty Show, It's like, yeah,
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: double where me? It's like, and the kids will the
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: boys will be like time for me to go play guns? Well, yeah,
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: Lisa's gonna be like, yay more.
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: I had that in my notes. I didn't expand on
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: it earlier, but when I was saying why would you
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: scare away all the boys and just try and get
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: the girls, It's like, why don't you just have a
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: show for girls and a show for boys?
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, kleing them both of them, and then O Casi
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: had crossovers where it's like, guess what, we're more I
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: like them.
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: We're not because because the boys audience wasn't bad for Krusty,
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: just the girls audience. Well, then create if the Princess's
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: working just give.
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: Her own show. This is poor TV stuff.
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: And there's a there' another really poor marketing concept coming up,
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: which I'll get to it, and it ruins the gag, but
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: it's stupid in real world logic, as you said before.
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: So as we're saying though Mo's, the guys are all
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: sad there, and then we get Gator McCall, who is
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: a scout. He wants to buy them around, and Mo's like,
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: what does buy around me? Which we're seeing we never
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: buy means, but yeah, he looks it up. Oh, that's
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: gonna be good for me, and he says he's a
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: corporate recruiter looking for nuclear power plant workers. So he's
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: recruiting these guys. Why who knows? Why was he in
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: Mo's whatever? Doesn't we do know? It should have been
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: him approaching them at the car park when they got
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: to their cars, right, or they could have been walked
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: to the cars and there's like a little card on
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: their car.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: Correct, Yes, good idea.
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: Late twenty is too late with this idea. So the
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: studio audience are now all girls at at Krusty show.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: I just love it because then you've got that little
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: sort of mystery. Do do do you do when they look, wow,
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: a mysterious card. Yes, it was like, oh this is fancy. Yeah.
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: It could be a WILLI Walker parody where it's like
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: mister slug'sworth comes up and he's like, oh, guys, I've
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: got a really cool place. But the studio audience at
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: Krusty Show are now all girls. Don't use cardboard cutouts anymore.
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: See that's the thing. They weren't saying that Krusty's ratings
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: were bad. It's just the ratings with the girls were bad.
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: But now they're saying that the boys weren't there. He's
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: got cardboard cutouts.
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: That's the thing. That's when you do a bit of
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: you know, marketing speaks satura. It's like we found the
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: most popular and rising demo as teen girls, and I
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: was you know, twin girls ten to twelve. You know
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: they've got the money is, they've got money to burn,
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: and we need to appuild to them. Then you have
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: like Crusty in a dress for like one scene trying
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: to appeal to girls like it doesn't worry how we're
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: hiring Princess Penelope. Yeah, there we go fixed it.
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: Or it's like someone dressed as a girl and they
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: hold up a qustion for Krusty and a custom sideha
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: mail wearing it correct.
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because Krusty refuses to do it.
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: But anyway, so Krusty is annoyed though he says Dutch
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: Masters is going to drop them like a hot potato
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: because they're appealing to a male dominated cigar, so male
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: dominated ar.
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: I guess we've also missed a bit where I think
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: you've got bart and Millhouse watching on the TV. I
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: didn't think this was a bad line about Lisa. Oh yeah,
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: well it's the first girl's ruined sex in the city.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: Now this Oh did say that he does the aka.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: But and this is also with Barton. You can see
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: the strap on the unicorn. She's just give you this.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah. Now there was the whole thing about
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: male nerds who are like keep women out of our
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: species and all that kind of stuff, So I guess
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: this could be sort of talking about that. I mean,
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: it's a good line about sex and the city as well,
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: because I mean the line so many people say about
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: sex and the city is like, I know, this has
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: got four men and a leader, but these are essentially
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: four gay men.
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we've discussed this before Yeah, yeah.
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: And I mean adddlely canvas Bush and it was the
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: writer of the Sex and the City book and Colum
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: and all that kind of stuff. But when it came
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: to the show, it was created by gay men. It
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: was created by Darren Starr and I think Michael Patrick
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: King it was one of the drivers behind it. And
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: it has a very gay male sensibility in terms of
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: its female characters. Yeah, even though I mean it does
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: have a female and feminist viewporn engagement, it also feels
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: very kind of like I think I know a lot
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: of gay dudes to talk like this.
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: We just start a Sex and the Potty show.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: Why not? Because the world needs too middle aged men
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: talking about Sex and the City.
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there is the only one reason I unted to
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: Sex and the City when I was like twelve year old.
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: Dan da can control.
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: The kids, the audience. They're not interested in Krusty's standard that.
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: I just want to see Princess Penelope flying on a
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: horse or whatever on a unicorn. She drops some pixie dust.
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: Christy says, bring this stuffing, can't be good for me.
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: Custod him blooding a cigarette. Then Bart says that you
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: know Krusty has become the lowest form of life, a sidekick,
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: and Milhouse praises him because you know he's a sidekick,
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: and that's the joke. Homan then arrives to pick up
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: Lisa from the studio and Bart says, this show sucks me.
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: I'm not going to be going in Why did women
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: ruin everything? The Army Fantastic Four? Think of how Awesman
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: recond Idol would be if it was just Simon and Randy.
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: I'm like, I don't know, it would be no. As
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: we're saying earlier, you can say you say that now,
• 40:38
  Speaker 4: but when you're older, you'll just think it.
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: Simon Cowe recently was in the news because he said
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: something like he's.
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: Worthing like six d mill bucks, like his sixth face.
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: Oh god, what happened? I don't know what the hell
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: is going on there.
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: You think it'd be worth that much you get you know, decent,
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: decent cosmetic surgery. But he said something like, yeah, my
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: kids are not getting any of this. I'm not getting
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: any of this money. Yeah, because it's like, well, I
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: grew up with that money, you know. Was he going
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: to spend it or was he going to donate. I
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: think it's going to donate it, like, you know, the
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: way they'll have a work ethic.
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: It's like a fucking but this is the thing, right,
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: I see that logic, Right, so other kids have to
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: earn anything. But my mentality is your kids are probably
• 41:19
  Speaker 4: sacrificed having a dad because you've been so busy with
• 41:21
  Speaker 4: your work, and now all the sacrifices they've given to
• 41:25
  Speaker 4: not having not that they've done any sacrifice, but they've
• 41:28
  Speaker 4: missed out and having a day because you've been so
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: busy doing your job. And now you're saying all of
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: that and you're not getting any of the money. Like
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: the whole point you fucking do that is to build
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: a foundation for your future kids and kids to have
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: something to live off. Look, it's not a bad idea
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: in theory, much like communism, but instead, simon, why don't
• 41:46
  Speaker 4: you say, my kids are going to come into a
• 41:48
  Speaker 4: lot of money. It's my responsibility now to teach them
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: how to use that effectively, whether it's to grow it,
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: whether it's to maintain it, or whether it's to use
• 41:56
  Speaker 4: it for the benefit of everyone including themselves, as opposed to.
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: Just they're not getting it. They're not getting it because
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: you know I grew up that way. Fuck off. Yeah,
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: it's not they're they.
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: Were born into a wealthy family, correct. Yeah, I mean
• 42:11
  Speaker 4: if they become brats and so b but they're good kids,
• 42:14
  Speaker 4: why should they for kid in your money?
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah? And if they're not good kids, guess what's on you?
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: Some cow? Yes exactly, maybe if you went if you're around.
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, what Bart's saying here goes back
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: to what I was saying earlier about the whole Sex
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: and the City thing about, Yeah, you've got a bunch
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: of guys and women ruin everything. Keep them out of
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: the army, keep them out of the Fantastic four. We
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: want Sue Storm and the fantastic that we do.
• 42:32
  Speaker 4: Indeed, yes, but the girls are now all busy getting
• 42:34
  Speaker 4: signatures from Princess Penelope, and Bart sees this is the
• 42:37
  Speaker 4: moment sees the crusty merchtore right, goes inside and it's
• 42:41
  Speaker 4: filled with Princess Penelope stuff. He says, where's the krusty
• 42:43
  Speaker 4: merchan He says, it's through that magic door, which is
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: actually the dumbster.
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: Right, thank you wise.
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: Terrible marketing. Because if I'm a girl and I'm at
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: the studio, and I want to buy a bunch of
• 42:55
  Speaker 4: Princess Penelope merchandise. I'm seeing that sign that store. I'm
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: not going in there.
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: That's that's Christmas. We'll cross the shit. Why would you
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: have Krusty at the front if it's all Prince Pinelopi inside?
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean.
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: It's just I know what you mean, terrible marketing. But
• 43:07
  Speaker 4: it finds crusty outside. He's eating cheap gin sandwiches.
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: Crusty, Snap out of it. You're crusty the clown. What
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: of Look Magazine's hundred Most Promising Clowns of nineteen fifty eight.
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: A lot of suicides in that group, funny suicides, but
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: still my days over.
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: Kid, And but says, look whose name's on that poster.
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: And as he's saying that, they put a Princess Penelope
• 43:32
  Speaker 4: poster over the top of it. They're throwing the crusty
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: standees out and they confuse Krusty for a standye while
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: they throw him in the dumpster. And he says, this is
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: it and it's time to make a difference here, and
• 43:40
  Speaker 4: the dumpster starts rolling away and says, why do clown
• 43:42
  Speaker 4: things always happen to clowns. We're now at Capital City.
• 43:45
  Speaker 4: The confusing thing for me, right, but Capital City is
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: the spelling of capital. They can't make their mind up
• 43:50
  Speaker 4: whether it's with an A or oh, okay, then yes,
• 43:52
  Speaker 4: sometimes it's oh, sometimes it's as an a here as well,
• 43:55
  Speaker 4: But I've always known it as the O Capital City
• 43:58
  Speaker 4: Nuclear Plant, the clean energy there is except once in
• 44:01
  Speaker 4: a while. But then look out and he introduces Gary
• 44:04
  Speaker 4: Larsen from the fast Side. Yeah, from the past side. Yeah,
• 44:08
  Speaker 4: so he's tells him to mop up an instant classic folks.
• 44:10
  Speaker 4: He's the guy the recruiters giving a tour to Lenny,
• 44:13
  Speaker 4: Karl and Homer and the line wouldn't want to see
• 44:16
  Speaker 4: that on his X ray. So I don't really know
• 44:17
  Speaker 4: much about Gary Lason. You want to get to the
• 44:18
  Speaker 4: listeners who may not know as well.
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the past, well, the fast side of just generally
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: these one panel cartoons that I don't know how they
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: skew would take on one liverary. They're not surreal, they're
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: just kind of a little bit weird, you know. It's
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: kind of like necessarily wouldn't get the joke, but it's
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: like I've got to think a little bit to get
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: this joke, it's not, but on Boom, it's more like,
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: that's odd. It's an odd way of looking at the world.
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that was essentially it.

• 45:10
  Speaker 4: touching on early, this is where you see her on
• 45:12
  Speaker 4: the phone using her Southern accent. Wasn't well long Island
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: long long, of course, long Island accent. Crusty bursts in
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: and says, I'm the scene still here. You're just the
• 45:22
  Speaker 4: reason people tune in. And this is where she admits
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: that she loves him. She's just all over him. She's
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: loved him since she was twelve years old when she
• 45:28
  Speaker 4: was watching him on WDQT, which had the fat station
• 45:31
  Speaker 4: manager great guy, because it was her dad and she
• 45:33
  Speaker 4: says she had the Crusty club ring. She says, well,
• 45:35
  Speaker 4: she wasn't very popular at school because she was more
• 45:37
  Speaker 4: beautiful and talented than everybody else, and she gives them
• 45:39
  Speaker 4: a big old kiss. This we're pretty dirty gay here
• 45:42
  Speaker 4: they're stuck into the story with the flower and the
• 45:44
  Speaker 4: water squirting out of the low. I was like, not that.
• 45:48
  Speaker 4: Also a good line from Krusty there was like, I
• 45:50
  Speaker 4: work like I drink alone, Yes, because mister teeny's watching
• 45:54
  Speaker 4: him though, because he's only there. He's putting on to
• 45:56
  Speaker 4: his side when he's drinking. Now we cut back and
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: Crusty has turned a new if. It's now the Krusty
• 46:00
  Speaker 4: and Princess Panalope smoochy Pooh, I love you Our no laughs,
• 46:04
  Speaker 4: just hugs and cuddles, and the boys are like, what
• 46:07
  Speaker 4: the hell is going on here?
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: Kind of goes back to what Marge was saying earlier.
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: But I think, yeah, comedy is good when people are
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: nice to each other.
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: Yes, and Millhouse says, don't worry mister teen He has
• 46:16
  Speaker 4: a flaming arrow and turns out he's just doing it
• 46:18
  Speaker 4: to shoot a love heart fire, and it says French,
• 46:21
  Speaker 4: what does it say? It says to Lamore, which is
• 46:23
  Speaker 4: love forever, Love forever in the French diction, Oh man,
• 46:27
  Speaker 4: what is going on here? And he sings a song
• 46:30
  Speaker 4: to the parody of this soul man. But it's basically
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: I've finally got a girlfriend under thirty three. DiCaprio is
• 46:38
  Speaker 4: twenty five, isn't he?
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, although apparently his current girlfriend has just doned twenty six.
• 46:43
  Speaker 4: No way, time a day's in number.
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: Or maybe the cycle has been broken.
• 46:48
  Speaker 4: Maybe yes, and Lisa I love it also too. I
• 46:52
  Speaker 4: mean it's horrible, but it doesn't even hide away from it.
• 46:55
  Speaker 4: It's like everyone says, it's just a rule. It's like,
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: that's the joke. That's the joke. He's got a rule.
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: It's like, no, but like he seems to stick to
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: this rule. Oh yeah, they always say. It's like, oh,
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: the age of which you become famous is kind of
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: the age at which you are stuck. Okay, you become
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: frozen them. That's why my so many child stars just
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: to become a real mess.
• 47:14
  Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, because their maturity levels never yeah, okay, fair enough.
• 47:19
  Speaker 4: But then Lisa sings the song as well, but he
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: unplugs the TV. He's just not a fan of.
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: This at all.
• 47:24
  Speaker 4: Lisaer gives a talk at school that Princess ann and
• 47:26
  Speaker 4: all the girls now dresses princesses doing all their talks,
• 47:28
  Speaker 4: and this is where we get the moment that gets
• 47:30
  Speaker 4: memed a lot now, especially Abound made the fourth of
• 47:32
  Speaker 4: Ralph dressed as Princess Lea, saying I'm a star Wars.
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: I did not like it.
• 47:37
  Speaker 4: I didn't like it.
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: Why not? I just feel it's more dumb ass Ralph stuff.
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: I'm getting really sick of the way they use Ralph.
• 47:43
  Speaker 4: Ralph's just got no substance at all, hasn't he. Yeah,
• 47:46
  Speaker 4: he's just there to say something stupid. Yeah, but it's
• 47:48
  Speaker 4: been like that since since. I mean they really they
• 47:52
  Speaker 4: dumbed him down to this level really early on. Yeah,
• 47:55
  Speaker 4: I'm talking like maybe like season eight nine. He was
• 47:58
  Speaker 4: he was already at this point.
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, long away from Chu Chu choose me.
• 48:02
  Speaker 4: Yes, Indeed, the guys are now getting massages and they're
• 48:06
  Speaker 4: getting free sushi through the face hole, just having the
• 48:08
  Speaker 4: time of their lives. Why Smithers there?
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: What have I written? Wait? What the Smither's doing that? Yeah?
• 48:14
  Speaker 4: This isn't just some random health club. This is surely
• 48:16
  Speaker 4: the power Plants health Club. Right, Yeah, I was so
• 48:19
  Speaker 4: confused by that, Like, why Smithers there? I thought it
• 48:21
  Speaker 4: was going to be I thought the undercut when I
• 48:24
  Speaker 4: saw Smithers, I thought it was going to be, Oh
• 48:25
  Speaker 4: my god, the recruited Smithers too. And he doesn't want
• 48:28
  Speaker 4: them to know because this is the thing they don't know,
• 48:33
  Speaker 4: so that they think that Smithers doesn't know they're being recruited,
• 48:35
  Speaker 4: and the Smithers would not know that them are being recruits.
• 48:38
  Speaker 4: That would actually be a fun story of them trying
• 48:40
  Speaker 4: to avoid each other.
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, classic Shenanigans. Classic.
• 48:47
  Speaker 4: There was definitely an entire episode with this story, I think,
• 48:50
  Speaker 4: if you wanted it to be.
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 48:52
  Speaker 4: But then he called mister Burns and says, the heart
• 48:53
  Speaker 4: of our tugger War team, even though it's the year
• 48:55
  Speaker 4: that's going to be, they're going to be scattered. So
• 48:58
  Speaker 4: he says, the reason they're doing this is because they've
• 48:59
  Speaker 4: they've cut back on donuts. He says, I think what
• 49:02
  Speaker 4: I can do, and this is why that's what I
• 49:03
  Speaker 4: hate about Burns.
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: He thinks, and he.
• 49:05
  Speaker 4: Rubs his head, shaves his head in, and then blows
• 49:07
  Speaker 4: it back out again by going I'm like stupid.
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: I hate that.
• 49:12
  Speaker 4: It's one of my biggest pet peeves of the Simpsons
• 49:14
  Speaker 4: is the first shit with his body doing shit that
• 49:16
  Speaker 4: I shouldn't. The boys are now hating the new love
• 49:19
  Speaker 4: Field show and Krusty is sick of this woman though
• 49:22
  Speaker 4: he's sick of this woman not being married to him.
• 49:24
  Speaker 4: So will you be my princess bride?
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: O that line? Princess bride?
• 49:27
  Speaker 4: She obviously agrees, and then Milhasse says, you know, it's
• 49:30
  Speaker 4: easy for a wedding to go wrong and buckets an idea,
• 49:32
  Speaker 4: and he proposes that they team up to ruin the wedding.
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: This is all.
• 49:36
  Speaker 4: Happening so fast. Let's call my mum together. Now, the
• 49:38
  Speaker 4: guys are leaving the power planted Homer leaves before he
• 49:42
  Speaker 4: has a melt down himself. Before we get too emotional,
• 49:44
  Speaker 4: Karl says, if I didn't have to work here, we
• 49:46
  Speaker 4: would have been friends, and then he turns off the power,
• 49:48
  Speaker 4: which turns off the power for the city, turns it

  Speaker 4: There's got the guy dresses up as a horse like
• 54:27
  Speaker 4: the head and the ass, and they separate and sit
• 54:28
  Speaker 4: on the other side of the of the wedding. Then
• 54:31
  Speaker 4: we have his so Krusty's dad is the rabbi he
• 54:33
  Speaker 4: hid at the wedding, says the wedding between the Jew
• 54:36
  Speaker 4: and the Congregationalist. That's a real thing, as he says,
• 54:39
  Speaker 4: But the whole thing seems to be that we don't
• 54:42
  Speaker 4: see him say this, but like, Krusty's dad doesn't approve
• 54:45
  Speaker 4: of this wedding, but it's like, let's continue with this

  Speaker 4: mockery and then they dance and happy when their wedding

• 55:01
  Speaker 4: last wife, which is Eartha Kit and she recorded this
• 55:04
  Speaker 4: before her untommely death. And oh, they actually say that
• 55:09
  Speaker 4: on this on the episode, don't they. Yeah, she records
• 55:12
  Speaker 4: before her untimely death. Yeah, because that's obviously happened in
• 55:15
  Speaker 4: real life. So maybe they had to reference that in
• 55:17
  Speaker 4: the episodes of viewers going, hey, isn't she gone? Yeah,
• 55:21
  Speaker 4: so they only married six hours and he was asleep
• 55:24
  Speaker 4: four five. Maybe they had to do that if I'm
• 55:28
  Speaker 4: thinking because she'd passed away, they couldn't have her appearance.
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: They had to be a pre recorded message.
• 55:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, who knows. They only married six hours. For five
• 55:37
  Speaker 4: of those hours he was asleep and the other hour
• 55:40
  Speaker 4: was a catastrophe. And because she us catwoman and then
• 55:44
  Speaker 4: Princess Penelope is blown away by how little this bothers her,
• 55:47
  Speaker 4: and Chrusty says, look, unfortunately, we can't get married. The
• 55:49
  Speaker 4: kid and his little ugly sister are right referencing Millhouse.
• 55:52

• 55:55
  Speaker 4: care about He's bowling ali shoe spray addiction and things
• 55:57
  Speaker 4: like that, and he says she's the only one that
• 56:00
  Speaker 4: he cares enough about to leave at the altar, and

  Speaker 4: she says, we'll always have sidecho Mel's dressing room and
• 56:04
  Speaker 4: Nobody's dance because of the whening's are happening. And that's

• 56:33
  Speaker 4: She thinks he's next to her, but no, it turns
• 56:35
  Speaker 4: out he's actually under the water. He comes up, he
• 56:36
  Speaker 4: fell off the boat, and he says he would rather
• 56:38
  Speaker 4: be a happy schnook than a noble shlump, and they
• 56:41

  Speaker 4: are yet to come.
• 56:47

• 56:50
  Speaker 4: five most essential ones either. I really enjoyed it, though,
• 56:53
  Speaker 4: but there's definitely two better episodes within this if they
• 56:58
  Speaker 4: chose to go down that avenue.
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: I'm going to dial back some of my initial vitriol. Man,
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: I was angry, but maybe I was angry. Maybe I

  Speaker 2: is still faulty You're like, I fucking hated it. It's
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: faulty in conception and execution. It's got some okay bits
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: in it. It could have been so much better to
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: quote my frustrating part when you know they could be better. Yeah,
