Now sure you are A sight is correct? That's right. I have a
0:04
pH d in truthology from Christian Tech. Well a, Carl, I got
0:10
a new hero. Yea. This will last about a day. Fourth Finger
0:14
Discount, dude, Welcome to fourth Finger Discount, the podcast where we rarely,
0:34
if ever take a four week holiday, but we've done it this time.
0:36
But we're back now. I'm back from the UK, guys back from
0:39
the United States, and we're here to review the second last episode of season
0:43
seventeen of The Simpsons. It is the Monkey Suit. I am Dando and
0:46
I am Guy aka a bear with pants on. And what Danna didn't point
0:52
out is that, you know, normally podcasts, you know, buns that
0:55
run smoothly and have all their ducks in a row, would have there for
0:59
we holiday at the same time. But no, I took two and a
1:02
half weeks off and went to the US, and then not long after I
1:06
got back from there, Danno lit out to the UK. So it was
1:10
a long hoss holiday for the both of us. But rest assured, we
1:12
were thinking of you the whole time, even to the point where we did
1:18
a little podcast in the middle of our breaks, didn't we We did,
1:21
and you can find that available now on our Patreon channel. Basically, we
1:23
just turned the mics and just had a bit of a catch up. I
1:26
think at one point we're talking about our favorite shops on Packington Street just in
1:30
Geln. We're just like, we're just catching up with it. We literally
1:32
hadn't spoken a month because basically what happened was we recorded all the shows as
1:36
many as we could in advance because we had our trip like planned a year
1:38
out and like about and I was about six weeks before you and you're like,
1:42
I'm going to America for two and a half weeks. I'm like,
1:44
ah, fuck, okay, that's news to me. Thank you. It
1:49
was news to me too, and then I was like, okay, cool,
1:53
So a whole heap in the can. But we're back now, we're
1:55
doing this. We're recording this on the thirtieth of August. This is going
1:57
to be coming out on the thirty first, so we're gonna be keeping a
2:00
fresh now. Also, we've got some updates for you guys. So whilst
2:04
I was away, I did some sort of planning and things like that.
2:07
First thing, foremost is we're going to be recording videos for every single four
2:10
finger discount podcast we're doing now. So if you enjoy the show and you're
2:14
going to watch us do it, you can watch it now on our YouTube
2:15
channel. We can find a links that in the description of this podcast.
2:19
Guys just moved his mic up in front of his face. Why have you
2:21
done that? You've never ever ever done that in your life? Why are
2:23
you doing it now? Do look at me? For years I've been trying
2:30
to tell him put the microphone in his face, and he's like, I
2:31
don't need to do it, don't need to. I say, the camera's
2:34
on you, like, cover your face of the microphone. How does this
2:38
look? And it sounds like I covered my face as well, So it's
2:40
all good. It's all good. This you can watch all this happening now
2:44
on our YouTube channel. Fund link in the description of this show. But
2:46
also so you would be well aware that we do a show called Talking Signfeld
2:51
and we will review the first three seasons of the show, and then we
2:54
did the first episode of season four, The Trip, Part one, which
2:58
has been available on a Padron for a while, and we took a bit
2:59
of a break because it was just getting a bit much. You know,
3:00
we're checking all this content for you guys, and it's just getting a bit
3:04
overwhelming, and I thought, what something needs to take a break, and
3:07
it was Talking Seinfeld. We also launched a show earlier in the year called
3:09
Speaking of the Hill where we review every episode of King of the Hill.
3:14
Now, if you did enjoy those two shows, we are starting them once
3:16
again as of next week, right so every single month, and now I'm
3:20
gonna get episodes are Speaking of the Hill and Talking Signfold, but they're going
3:23
to be available on our Patreon. So if you want to get access to
3:25
those shows now you still can you want to support the show. If you
3:29
don't, that's perfectly fine as well. I'm sure there's plenty of other Speaking
3:31
King of the Hill and Sinfold podcasts for you to think your ears and too.
3:34
But if you want to hear a guy and Dando's Talking Seinfeld and Speaking
3:37
of the Hill, and let's be honest, why wouldn't you Because they are
3:39
great shows. They're available for just two dollars on our Patreon, So if
3:43
you've got to spare two dollary dues in your pocket, think about it.
3:46
Like some people would have even pick up two dollars if they found it on
3:49
the ground, so it's all it is. It's just two dollars support the
3:52
show and you get access to two really great podcasts, Talking Seinfeld and Speaking
3:54
of the Hill. Plus also available on our Patreon is Tales of Drama,
4:00
where we go back and revisit every episode of the show. Now, I've
4:03
been contemplating do we sometimes do some of the newer episodes because they've just released
4:08
new episodes of Futurama on Disney Plus and I've been really really enjoying them.
4:13
I felt they've been getting better and better as the weeks go on. Episode
4:15
six I watched last night and I've really really enjoyed it. So I'm thinking
4:19
much shake things up here and there and throw out a couple of bonus reviews
4:23
of current episodes, just to see how we're going. If you guys want
4:26
to hear that, so let us know, Simpsons mailback at gmail dot com.
4:29
But yes, Tales of Futurama, Speaking of the Hill, and Talking
4:32
Sinfeld all now available on our Patreon, as well as movie reviews with the
4:36
Movie Guys podcast and to get early and add free access to this show,
4:41
as well as a bunch of other stuff as well. Prize drawers, the
4:43
Facebook group, and so much more. So Yeah, enough sprukings. I
4:46
just do one big spruk at the start here to let you guys know that
4:47
if you want to hear more King of the Hill reviews, Sinfeld reviews,
4:50
and Futurama that you finally want to our Patreon. All the links for those
4:54
are in the description of this show as well. But anyway, we're here
4:56
to talk about the monkey suit, aren't we miss the davis An episode that
5:00
was touching a subject that was very, very interesting and touchy in a sense
5:04
of evolution versus creationism, As I said you in the Citizens, So it's
5:09
I thought they had it it quite well. What are your thoughts. I
5:12
think they did handle it very well. They were quite diplomatic about a very,
5:15
as you say, a hot button topic. Yeah, there was certainly
5:18
a stage, and I think it's probably ongoing in American culture and maybe in
5:24
societies around the world, but I think primarily America that's where we hear about
5:28
it, the whole creationism versus evolution quote unquote debate. Yeah, it was
5:34
very big and very big in schools for a while, and very big in
5:38
certain states in America. So Yeah, the sentisens decided to take it on,
5:42
and Yeah, as I said, they were very very diplomatic, very
5:45
even handed, recognized the flaws and virtues of shall we say, both sides,
5:51
and trying to come out with a result in a response that would balances
5:59
please please everybody but more likely not offend anyone. Yeah. I thought it's
6:04
clear that the Simpsons staff and the writer whose name escapes me just now,
6:09
the Jay Stewart Burns was the right of this episode. It's clear that he
6:13
was pro evolution, you know. Yeah, but I thought that he also
6:15
did a good he positioned the episode in a way where they weren't just completely
6:19
saying you're wrong for believing in guide and creationists, because they sort of made
6:25
the people who are pro evolution a bit smarmy in this at times, don't
6:28
you think. But there was that exhibit at the museum where it was like,
6:30
you know, indisputable evidence of the dinosaur bones or something something that,
6:33
you know, something like that. So I thought that they sort of he
6:38
sort of he sat on the fence enough the way it didn't feel like it
6:40
was just all all evolution is king and creationism is not. I think that's
6:45
suddenly then going to happen when you are in the right so to speak,
6:50
or you know, the weight of evidence is kind of really waned down your
6:55
scales. You have attends ago, well, okay, fine, believe your
6:59
very tales if you like. But yeah, I mean, and then in
7:01
fairy tales exactly what people would say. Yeah, that that can lead to
7:06
some kind of smugness, as I just showed. So yeah, I think
7:10
it was very worthy and worthwhile at the Simpsons to show, as I said,
7:15
it's not so much of the both sides have their merits, but both
7:18
have their place. And yeah, your belief in or your faith or something
7:26
like that is something that can be, you know, very central to your
7:30
life, very caught your being and help you sort of make your way through
7:33
this crazy thing called life. So yeah, I mean it was it was
7:36
good for them to do so, and I think they did it very very
7:40
well. I think it was important for Lisa at the end because she was
7:42
sort of the voice of the whole evolution thing here saying that she respects Flanders
7:46
belief as well. She's whilst you know, I don't agree with it,
7:49
I respect that you do believe in it. I just don't think it's appropriate
7:54
for it to be taught in school, much like you wouldn't want science taught
7:57
in a church. And that's it. That's away setting it. Yeah,
8:01
that's all you need. Yeah. Now, it says that Jay Stewart Burns
8:05
got the idea for this from there was a monkey trial in nineteen twenty five
8:11
where a teacher did have you heard about this? Do a nettle bit?
8:15
This the Scopes trial, I believe called Yes. Well, if you google
8:18
Scopes, the first thing comes up is Scopes monkey trial. But it was
8:22
yeah, essentially along these lines that, well, let's go to our friend
8:28
wikipedie wi Pat, let's go. The Monkey Suit was written by Jay Stewart
8:31
Burns and directed by Raymond s Percy as part of the seventeenth season. Burns
8:35
received inspiration to the episode from the Scopes Monkey Trial, as you're just saying,
8:39
mister Davis, a nineteen twenty five legal case in which high school teacher
8:43
John Scopes was accused of violating Tennessee's Butler Act, which made teaching evolution unlawful.
8:50
Clarice Drummond, the ACLU lawyer who represents Lisa in this episode, is
8:54
a reference to the ACLU lawyer Clarence Darrow, who defended Scopes at the time,
8:58
whilst while Brady I thought it was hilarious. Is a reference to William
9:01
Jennings Bryan, an attorney in the Scope's monkey trial. So there you go.
9:05
So that's what the basis of this was on. Indeed, and you've
9:09
just knocked out one of my trier questions was Wallace Brady, it was Chlorie's
9:13
drumming. Okay, I would not have got that one. I would not
9:16
have got that one. But this one's been It's received positive reviews, which
9:20
is not common in season seventeen. Usually it's like generally unfavored reviews. But
9:26
year this one thumbs up for most people. See, yeah, people aren't
9:30
really going out of their way and say season seventeen, whoa, But no,
9:35
this was like a strong episode. As we've said about many a previous
9:39
episode. It's got a strong foundation, you know, I mean, it's
9:43
it's got something solid that you can It's solid ground to sort of set your
9:48
argument on, you know, and a solid argument to sink your teeth into.
9:52
So spect so, and then of course you can add all number of
9:54
gags to it, which is you know, the sugary, sugary tapping that
9:58
we enjoy from the Simpsons. But yeah, you've got to have something solid
10:01
to plant your feet on. And I love people who sort of have they
10:09
have their name as like first initial their name, their name A good buddy
10:15
of mine Burns well correct, Yeah, I haven't man who he used to
10:20
mockingly call himself Jay Kenneth something okay when he was taking the piss at himself.
10:24
And yeah, it's not necessarily a stylization that I like, but but
10:30
no, Jay Steward Burns did, yeah, did pretty good with that.
10:35
I think. I thought it was interesting that for a topic that you can
10:37
really like, you said, sink your teeth into. Apparently the episode came
10:41
in really short, to the point where the entire like opening bid with but
10:45
not wanting to waste this summer was actually like written and animated for an episode
10:50
from like season fourteen, and then they just never used it. And then
10:54
they just watted at the start of this episode just to fill the gap,
10:56
and you had the full intro and you had the really long couch gay like
11:00
it must have really come in short, like really short. I'm gonna take
11:03
back some of the things that I said about Jay Stewart's throwing in some half
11:07
host working. Here you go, guys. Yeah, the episode originally animated
11:13
and written for the season fourteen episode I'm spelling as fast as I can,
11:16
but it got cut out due to one not enough time left in an episode.
11:18
This one's like we did extra five minutes. It's like that that makes
11:24
so much sense when you yeah, sort of reevaluating. Mean you do look
11:26
at that that opening a bit with buttons, like, oh, yeah,
11:31
that has absolutely no relation to evolution at all. I mean, and that
11:33
does happen really seventeen episode Sometimes sort of the opening two or three minutes has
11:37
nothing to do with the topic that the episode's about. But this one just
11:41
felt really off topic. Yeah, so, I mean you realize that the
11:46
thread connecting the two things is awfully thin. When it's least of piping,
11:50
I'm saying, all right, well now it's time for what you've promised to
11:52
do with me. All somewhere it's like, oh, finally you're worked one
11:56
out. Yeah. It kind of like when we're doing it on a story
12:00
and we finally bring it full circle back to the episode. May hears a
12:05
burning that sounds like something that I do hey my favorite? What were your
12:11
favorite moments from the episode. It's funny you mentioned earlier about the sort of
12:15
smiliness or smugness of people who tend to think they're in the right when it
12:18
comes to an argument, and mentioning the museum and how it had indisputable proof
12:22
and all that, And when it came to the quote unquote myth of creation
12:28
its soundtrack to the Doobie Brothers, what a full beliefs, it was like,
12:33
that's a bit arch but also like well worth the money, but well
12:35
worth the money to have to get the rights of that song though you used
12:37
that absolutely. Sometimes it feels like they're breaking the bait these days with the
12:41
songs, with the pop songs, like the very very popular songs. But
12:46
this one here to actually used it for a really solid reason that like fitting
12:50
it made it funny, you know. Sometimes they used the music just sort
12:52
of created emotion with this one, like it was used as a gag.
12:54
I really appreciate that, so did I. Yeah, And I think my
12:58
other favorite moment where from this it's a little one, but where Quimby is
13:05
cheering up the meeting and he's talking about as late as proposal which is like,
13:09
if you're going to just duck in for a packet of smokes, then
13:11
by all means puck on the handicapped park. I'm like, yes, o
13:16
Green, No, it's a terrible thing to say, but I'm like I'd
13:22
probably vote, like yeah, just be cool about it, just going real
13:26
quick, not near like doing a full shop. He's like, I just
13:28
gonna go get some flocks. If handicapped parks, is it court? Is
13:31
it disabled parks? And he handicap I don't offend anybody, apologies if I
13:33
have, but those parks, right, it shouldn't be. You know how
13:37
sometimes now when you go into a shopping malls, more offensive you saying those
13:41
parks okay, apologies. But you know when you go into a shopping mall
13:45
now and they scan your number plate, you don't have to get a ticket
13:48
anymore, right. I feel like if the disabled parks right had a little
13:52
scanner on the front of the car, right and just say you have to
13:56
register your number plate to say that you had the pass on your window,
13:58
right, so scans you another plate and if you don't have one of those
14:01
passes associated with being allowed to park in those parks, then you get like
14:05
three minutes. And if the three minutes goes and your number plate is still
14:09
sitting there, then you get the fine Brendan Dano not just creating a wonderful
14:15
podcast empire, but basically making the world a better place. You should run
14:18
to Gil on cancel when it's better. It's a bit of a mess and
14:22
you can't do it. You couldn't make it any worse for that for wrestling
14:26
fans out there, would give him a three minute warning. Wrestling fans will
14:28
appreciate that. Reference what I said that three minute one. Now you said
14:31
it was a little thing. I thought you were meaning quite literally because I
14:33
got a big kick out of Little most Is, Like ye, that just
14:37
felt like classic Simpsons, just ridiculousness, just a one of all non sequitar
14:43
It's like, who saw that coming? I'm never going to see Little most
14:46
Is like again, it was hilarious. That was good. That was good.
14:50
You're right, and just Wallace Brady's techniques of trying to win over the
14:54
crowd and whenever the jury a little Bambi and things who started that fire that
14:58
killed your mother? Every we should I just love a country lawyer who's you
15:05
know, appears like a bit of a bumpkin, but you know he's the
15:07
most savvy person in the room. I mean, I think I think the
15:11
Simpsons writers love them Matlock, so you know they've done a bit of a
15:15
tribute to Matlock there as well. But yeah, I mean in referring to
15:18
it is, what do you think about this devolution? It's like in the
15:24
video where Charles Darwin's making that with Satan, things like that, Well that's
15:30
I mean, yeah, we sort of pay out on the on the people
15:33
on the I don't know what we call the pro revolution side of being smugged,
15:37
but you know, the people on the progression side, they played dirty.
15:41
They're gonna up Charles. Then we all played making that with Satan.
15:43
It's the only way to play, isn't it? Played dirty? Played dirty?
15:46
Exactly? Get your point across. Next question. You there eating the
15:50
paste. It is trivia time, which means it is now time for us
15:52

guys feel like we're giving you enough for you support. All Right, Davis,
18:00
it is time for us to get into some trivia questions. My first
18:02
one for you is that who did Grandpa want to sleep with? According to
18:06
his list, he wanted to sleep with Esther Williams. Up, mister Williams,
18:11
mister Davis. She was a movie star back in the I think thirties
18:15
and forties, and this was a time when you go to the movies was
18:18
a huge sort of novelty, you know, and you have actors and performers
18:25
who you know, they had specific talents, and Esther Williams was like,
18:29
I think she was known as the bathing beauty. I think I don't know
18:30
if she was like a professional swimmer or something like that, but she had
18:33
a lot of dance numbers or choreograph numbers that basically involved her like diving into
18:37
and swimming around the pool. She was like a really good synchronous swimmer.
18:41
And there was a bunch of movies with Esther Williams doing just that. I
18:44
mean, I think in the in the more innocent age was like she's wearing
18:48
a beatings. Oh my gosh, don't take the wavefter this one. You
18:55
said they're going to the movies when it was a novelty. I feel like
18:56
it's becoming a novelty again. Do people still go to the movies? Not
19:00
as much as they used to? I mean, we both's all Barbie and
19:03
you haven't seen Barby did? They were supposed to go see it yesterday,
19:06
what's today? Wednesday? Ship guy at the time just flies. I was
19:08
supposed to see it on Sunday. It was five dollars movie day, but
19:11
then our babysitter fell through about an hour before the movie is about to start.
19:17
So we're at the call up and get a refunded and like, I'm
19:18
sorry, mister Dander, but we can't refund you the booking fee of six
19:22
dollars. I'm like, why, what what? What? What is with
19:26
the booking fee? Like? Who am I paying the booking fee to?
19:30
To do you? You can pay it back to me. Who gets the
19:34
booking fee? Like if I book a ticket at on reading Cinemas dot com
19:37
or Village Cinemas dot com right and online, and I pay a booking fee.
19:41
Who am I paying? You're paying? It's all ready, I mean
19:45
village, all reading. But why are they charged me to Why? Because
19:51
they've gotten like an all high tech infrastructure now that needs to be bunday.
19:56
You need to keep paying for that. I don't know. It can be
19:57
a break, I'm not. It's like if I go I'd rather pay the
20:00
booking fee going to the movies because you've got a person there behind the fucking
20:06
I'm paying a human bee. There's no human in between, there's no middleman
20:10
here. It's me doing their job. Why am I last picture? I
20:14
don't know, man, the last time I went out to anywhere. It's
20:15
like what happened to the box office? Now it's all these screens and I'm
20:19
looking at and pushing buttons on fucking fee? What you got rid of humans?
20:26
So you're saving money on wages and you're charging me a booking fee And
20:30
anyway, try go to the supermarket these days. But before this turns in,
20:33
the old man shakes. Just one more rand coming up? You go
20:38
ahead. We've been into the UK for a month, right when we left
20:42
our Wednesday ritual Holly in myself right, sorry Tuesday myself now daddy daycare day
20:48
because it's a kinder as we go to town with a bit of a wonder,
20:52
you know, the park, and she has some sushi for lunch.
20:53
She loves her sushi. Right when we left right for the UK on July
20:57
twenty eighth, so I was I must have gone with her like July twenty
21:00
fourth or something. Sushi was two dollars eighty. I took her out yesterday
21:06
and it was four dollars each. How has it got up a dollar twenty
21:08
in three and a half weeks? What's going on here? I don't know.
21:12
I'll put on my politicians out and say costa Living, Costa Living's going
21:15
through the roof? What a dollar twenty and three and a half weeks?
21:19
What is happening? Cheese? Cheese? It's a year ago a block kilo
21:26
block of Cole's brand cheese used to be eight dollars, right and a half
21:30
ago? Eight dollars. It's now fourteen. What it's fourteen dollars for a
21:34
block? What the fucking hell? It used to be eight dollars and now
21:40
it's fourteen. I'll tell you what remains a bargain though? What's that KFC
21:45
eight dollars tennis eight bucks. Oh I saw that someone online was like damn,
21:51
and then I'm doing the tenders heck anymore and like, yes they are?
21:55
And then I tried it and they're not. So we got We got
21:57
home about nine thirty on say night. Run the way home and it's like,
22:00
oh, what a kfcing. I'm like, I could really go KFC
22:03
because I don't eat plain food, right, it always makes me feel unwell.
22:06
The smell of it makes me feel unwell. I hate plain food,
22:07
right, so I'd go on like a thirty hour trip and neat nothing but
22:11
like a cheese samwich. I was starving. I thought, in KFC in
22:14
the UK is terrible. They don't have chicken salt. Don't even get me
22:15
started. So get like my kind of place. I had a hankering for
22:19
KFC, right, what you like KFC without a chicken salt? Are you
22:25
mad? On the chips? Hang on? The UK doesn't have chicken salts.
22:29
So the chips doesn't have chicken salt on it. That's what I'm saying.
22:30
Is terrible in the UK? Interesting anyway? Interesting? But we yeah,
22:34
so one the way home, want to KFC. I did the hack
22:37
and the hack worked. Where you're add a feast, you get an ad
22:40
on like which is like five two I think it's two ad ons, like
22:42
five dollars something. You get a two light ships with five bucks instead of
22:45
paying five dollars each. Blah blah blah. And then it worked, took
22:48
off the feast. I still got my ad ons. Then someone I think
22:52
it was I was k I believe one of our patrons posting the Patreon group
22:55
today. You want to be part of that? Just got to just put
22:56
us on Patreon, and she said, I tried the hack. I've been
22:59
doing it for years since down I talked about on the podcast, and now
23:02
it's not working. I was like, hold on a minute, this is
23:03
actually groundbreaking news for me. I went on too the app because it works
23:07
for me. Like on the last Thursday, it's now Wednesday. I went
23:08
on there, I added the feast, added the ad on, removed the
23:11
feast, and it's like we have also removed the ad on. My heart
23:14
sank. I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe it. Betrayed by the
23:18
colonel. Life will never be the same now, it just will never be
23:22
the same. That was like my thing I was like, I always I
23:25
felt like such a not a criminal, but I felt like a outwitted to
23:29
the Klonel. It's always one step ahead. Oh yeah, look there,
23:33
there's nothing better in this capitalistic healthscape than finding a workaround, you know.
23:37
I mean, even if it's just I think, yeah, I've signed up
23:41
to both the major supermarket chains, and you know you'll get your email on
23:45
a usually Tuesday night or a Wednesday morning, it's like, here is this
23:48
week's specially, was like, oh that thing, I like, it's half
23:51
price. Yeah, I'm not going to pay full price. Got to hell,
23:53
it's exactly right. I feel like maybe I'm to blame. I feel
23:56
like as a KFC work right there. That went hold on a minute.
24:00
They listened to the show and went, hold on a minute. This Dando
24:03
guy, all these thousands and millions of listeners out there, he's costing us
24:06
a lot of money. I better go, I'll take this straight to the
24:08
prime minister. Took a straight to the channel, and I'm taking the straight
24:15
And now this guy is now managing some store and mill juror he got promoted,
24:18
and now we don't get our hack. I was devastated, kind of
24:21
like I've told our story once where we used to have that that. You
24:23
know. We used to work at pop Culture right where I used to work
24:26
as well, and we had the drinking machine, the drink of the cam
24:29
machine, so it does and stuff, and there used to be one I
24:30
believe it was fifty six in the machine. If you put two dollars in,
24:34
push fifty six for a can of Pepsi Max, and chuck your can
24:37
of Pepsi Max and give you two one dollar coins in exchange. It was
24:41
always a free cannip Pepsi Max. And I did it for it like a
24:44
good year. And now I trusted this one person I name her name.
24:47
It was as a girl. I told her, and all of a sudden
24:51
I'd go to the machine and fifty six would be empty. And I was
24:52
like, she's fucking told people. And whenever you go there was always just
24:56
fifty six was empty. Fifty six was empty. I was like. And
24:59
then like, I no, A week later there's a maintenance man. He's
25:03
fixing the machine and it didn't work anymore. So if you ever find out
25:04
a hack people learned from me, don't tell anybody. Just enjoy the good
25:08
life. Indeed, we might have to keep our hacks to ourselves here,
25:12
because I mean, if someone listening to this show actually went to you know,
25:18
the Colonel's HQ and said, man, the way, there's a couple
25:22
of guys in Geelonge who were getting you know, cheap tendies. Yeah,
25:26
alkay, three words for you. Pow Snitches get stitches then, indeed anyway,
25:30
And they don't get bitches either, do they. They certainly do not.
25:34
Bitches just become bitches anyway. So my first question for you, what's
25:41
your first question for me? What was it? My first question for you?
25:42
Because you've already asked me, and I don't know how we gotta started
25:45
talks to Williams. We get to that. That's right now. What did
25:52
Homer want to find and destroy as part of his summer to do list?
25:56
What did you want to find and destroy as part of his summer Homer?
26:00
I missed that one? What was it? It was the Lost City of
26:03
Atlantis City of Atlantis, which is from the episode The Deep South. Wasn't
26:11
it Atlanta? Though? Remember in Atlanta the Lost of Atlanta the Future Runner
26:15
episode which was which which I chucked up as a bonus Pagreon skills go back
26:22
and you listen to this and the free feed go back and you'll hear the
26:25
episode of Tails the Future on Me that I whacked up as a bonus whilst
26:26
we were away on our holidays a Deep South. It was a really fun
26:30
episode. Has a very similar guy, Nemeber, the guy that runs the
26:32
Atlanta places, very much like Wallace Brady. And this isn't he correct?
26:36
Correct? Yeah? And guess what you're going to get access to that for
26:38
only two dollars a month? Five more on was five dollars a month.
26:41
I don't want to. I don't want to why to the people, but
26:44
you know what I mean. Support your pals, Support your pals. My
26:47
next question is what is coming up at the Imax theater. What's the movie
26:49
that's coming up coming soon? Is it inside your nostril? Up your nostril.
26:55
I'll give you that one, up your nostro. A question for you
27:00
is what is Skinner's alternative to Darwinian evolution? Skinner's alternative? What is it?
27:08
It's Lamarckian Lamarckian, all right? And my final one, when when
27:14
the Reverend Love joins and and Flander sharp saying, when you need to offer
27:18
an evolution an alternative, there's evolution, you mean like Lamarkian. My final
27:23
question is Brockman is juror number what he's during number seven and in like roast
27:29
beef for lunch. Yes, indeed, I like that a lot. But
27:33
I like Ken Brockman as you are very Ken Brockman ish. I reckon.
27:36
You can relate to it in a lot of ways, can't you. Yeah,
27:38
do you have a lot of like screen caps and images like in a
27:41
in a folder on your on your computers. My downloads folder is an absolute
27:45
mess. I just like say things, save the downloads And I never ordered
27:48
my memes, Like I know they're in there, but they're just in there
27:52
somewhere. I occasionally will like I've got a little term up mostly and I've
27:56
got pretensions towards straightening out my life. I'm going to go through my pictures
28:00
folder and rather than you know, like X Underscore, Simpsons, got whatever,
28:07
I'm like, give it a new name. So I was like,
28:10
oh, if I need to find this, I know I can type in
28:11
this and I'll find this. But I've got so many Ken Brockman months,
28:15
like you know, the one where he looks up and it's Brockman in trouble
28:18
and he's sort of going or just the one where he's dressed like a pimp
28:22
and giving the thumbs up. I don't know. I just got so many
28:25
Ken Brockman images. I just love him. My final question to you is
28:33
Lisa, if she goes down to Mexico, I will be known as senior
28:36
ya ugly. But what will her job be? What will her job be?
28:41
No idea? I don't seen you talking about? What was it?

29:22
patreon dot com. Slash four fingure discount link is in the description of this
29:26
podcast. The original air date of The Monkey Suit was May fourteen, two
29:33
thousand and six. It was written by Jay Stewart Burns as we said,
29:36
and directed by Raymond s Percy. It stars Larry Hagman as Wallace Brady.
29:42
Who would Larry Hagman be to our listener, is mister Davis? Give us
29:45
a bit of an instant look. He's millennials and gem Ze are probably like
29:48
who, but very big in the seventies eighties as the star of Dallas,
29:55
one of the biggest shows on television at the time. He played JR.
29:57
Ewing Chu a precurse to your anti heroes like Walter White and Tony Sopran all
30:03
that he was evil, but you loved him because he was so you know,
30:07
fun with it. And before that he was under the leading I dream
30:10
of Jeannie was he found the he found the magic bottle on the beach opening
30:17
up and how comes Jeanie? Yes? Was he was? Okay? That
30:19
makes sense now. So by the way, if he didn't exist, we
30:23
probably wouldn't have the Who shot mister Burns episode would be that's correct, because
30:27
yeah, I mean the Who Shot Mister Burns episode is based on a Dallas
30:32
cliffhang called Who Shot Jr? Everybody everybody wanted to know who shot Jr?
30:37
And it's before you can got on the internet and find out spoilers, you
30:41
know what I mean. It was just like I can't imagine what well I
30:42
can kind of magic. I can just remember before the Internet, when like
30:45
you had to just wait, you just had to wait and find out,
30:51
Like, oh my god, I could just find out, Like, can
30:52
you remember the first spoiler you found out? I'm pretty sure I've asked this
30:56
question before. It was the six Cents one. I think it might have
30:59
been, yeah, yeah, yeah, Anyway, now I'm trying to remember
31:03
because I think the Who Shot Jr? Son of Dales was actually like on
31:07
the cover of Time magazine. This is an old reference, but yeah,
31:10
it was like, oh my god, everybody wants to know. So,
31:14
yeah, we wouldn't have mister Burns, We wouldn't have who Shot Mister Burns?
31:15
Without it wasn't it a dream? As well? In the end,
31:18
there was something, there was something the character, Yeah, it's a dream
31:22
or something, and who does Yeah, yeah, but then they brought that
31:26
character back and they sort of tried to recon it like it was, oh,
31:32
no, you just dreamed that person died, Like what the fuck?
31:33
Yeah, what a cop out? Yeah, because they parody that in Who
31:37
Shot Mister Burns? When Smith's has the dream about mister Burns and he wakes
31:40
up in his apartment, he cops out the cigarette butts and things like,
31:41
oh, it was just a dream. No, it wasn't really anyway.
31:44
So it also stars Melanie Griffith as the on the audio tape as well.
31:49
I honestly thought that this was a rather cruel joke at the expense of the
31:53
lovely miss Griffith. Well, she did it herself. And then then I
31:57
stood at the end it's like, that's Melanie, because first of all,
32:00
I thought, we're doing this. Melanie Griffith impersonation is doing pretty good because
32:04
he's got a very distinctive, breathy, sort of baby gold kind of voice
32:07
that's quite well over these Melanie Griffith's you know, been around forever. Our
32:15
young and vital listeners will probably know her as the mum of Dakota Johnson,
32:19
star of the Fifty Shades movies. She I did not know that. Okay,
32:22
I know it now though. Yeah. But yeah, but Melan Griffin,
32:25
oh, as one might say, but yeah, it does have that
32:30
very kind of yeah voice, yeah yeah voice, And I'm like, oh,
32:34
you guys are taking the piss. That's a big crowl. And it
32:36
turned out to be Melanie Griffith, who is clearly a good sports in on
32:38
the joke. Yes, the chopboard gag because they had chopboard gag in this
32:42
one because they had spare time. Was so I can't speak French, but
32:46
I don't speak French. Written in French, so it's is it Jean palais
32:52
pass franca that's it. There you go, There you go. Someone is
32:55
someone who knows their French. There he goes. That's what it says on
32:58
the oms someone who doesn't know for so that's the only that's the French I
33:01
say when I'm in Franz Franz and the Ga. The cash game was the
33:07
photographer takes the Simpsons picture, which sets off a slideshow of events from two
33:10
thousand and six thirteen. We've seen this one before, well, Marge married
33:14
Jim Bell and things like that before this season as well. It was in
33:17
the yeah, we've seen it in season seventeen, haven't we. Yeah,
33:20
it's pretty oh this one. The episode kicks off a Bart this is the
33:22
stuff that was cut from the spelling as fast as I can episode. So
33:27
Bart's watching Bobberrella and it's funny because I was watching this and I'm watching it
33:30
going this feels I feel like I've seen this before and I haven't seen but
33:34
I feel like I've had a similar scene where it was like watching Boberrell.
33:36
We haven't had Bubarrella for a while. Bubarrella feels like a really like two
33:38
or three seasons ago character, and this makes sense now that they've explained that
33:43
it was thrown in there from from that era. So Bart is watching Bobberrella.
33:46
He thinks he's wasted his summer because it's nearly the end. I thought,
33:49
how fitting that we're reviewing this as summer is a battery end in the
33:52
United States. Literally, this is going to be released on the day when
33:54
summer ends. So long you as Summer. I had a very nice time
34:01
during you UK summer was the first week we got there. It rained for
34:07
the entire week and I was like, oh my god, of course it
34:08
is why wouldn't it be. I've come all the way to see summer and
34:12
it's raining in England anyway, But the last couple of weeks we're decent with.
34:15
I would comparing it to like a nice spring day in Australia. Something
34:20
was like, we had one what they called a hot day and it was
34:22
twenty eight. I was like, oh, you silly English. You were
34:28
like, you're like Homer in Australia's like, yeah, it's kind of hot.
34:31
Yes, Well, you know, just as our summer is ending for
34:38
our American friends and our English friends as well, we're finally making an exit
34:44
out of a rather chilly winter into spring. Our birthdays are coming, which
34:47
means the weather's getting better. Christmas is on the way, Halloween's on the
34:51
way, good times ahead. Indeed, coincidence that you know, better weather
34:55
comes along, just as Dandy when I made another year who knows? Who
34:59
knows? So Grandpa has his list as well, mentioned about Esther, Williams
35:04
and whatnot, and Bart tries to get everything done not ruined. His summer.
35:07
Also a gagged it probably yeah, I mean it's an historical name and
35:10
I don't think it's been completely stricken. For the record, but I don't
35:13
know if you can make a job a joke about it. I don't know
35:15
if you can make a joke about the Negro League these days. No,
35:20
Like, well, I guess you can. I mean why not? I
35:22
mean he's not making a joke about the league. The jokes and again more
35:27
about about the person But is it more offensive to say that you can't include
35:32
them in the joke? And you know that's not get into a discussion.
35:35
He goes win a baseball game, we get the parody of what's the film
35:38
that, Well, there's two here? This is a two fu, isn't
35:42
it, because the coach is clearly Walter Math are from the Bad News Bag.
35:47
Of course, yes, yeah again someone, This is why I thought
35:52
it was a Meloy Griffin and personalty, because it's a very good Walter Math
35:55
that one personator get in there simpthing Dan you said basis Homer off of him?
36:01
Oh? Of course your home voice. Yeah that's right. Of course
36:07
you had fun. You learned a little something too. Tuning into this episode
36:09
a full finger this game of Daddy, and then of course when Bart hits
36:13
the home run and fireworks start going off, it's a bit of a it's
36:17
a shout out to the climax of the Natural movie from the eight starring Robert
36:22
Redford as a baseball theme on. It's one of my late dad Dad's favorite
36:27
movies. Is it really feel like every dad has a sporting movie of some
36:30
kind it's one of their favorites. Like for my dad's for something, this
36:35
is not sporting with my dad loves happy gam but for something who comes to
36:37
favorite movies, my dad loves the movie The Warriors. Have you saying The
36:40
Warriors? Yeah, I've got an on blue R fantastic, absolutely loves The
36:45
Warrior. Not once the Warriors great great films a rose, but my dad
36:49
loves the movie The Warriors. Of other games like Warriors come out and play.
36:54
Oh good movie, great soundtrack. Yes, a lot to enjoy The
36:59
Warriors. Bought the Warrior's board game. Funk Ga made a Warriors board game
37:01
of four people, I was a funk game movie. It wasn't funk.
37:04
There's a Warrior's board game that a boy. I haven't played it yet,
37:06
but I'm really excited to play it. That actually makes a lot of sense
37:08
because the plot of the Warriors is essentially they've got to get from point A
37:13
to point B without getting killed by various gangs. Yeah. Yeah, great
37:19
movie The Warriors. Yeah, absolutely worth checking out if you can, if
37:22
you can find it, yeah, definitely. So yeah, so you got
37:24
the pizza party afterwards. Then he has to wants to appear in a summer
37:28
stop play a film not so great Grease too. Remember Grease too. People
37:32
are people are reclaiming great Grease. It's coming around, isn't it. People
37:37
are like, oh no, you know it was good Grease too. And
37:37
I'm like Grease too. I've watched it for a long long time. But
37:44
very early role for Michelle Fifer. Yeah, who was the heart throb that
37:49
the male lead. He's a guy named Maxwell call Field, Okay who honestly
37:53
he sounds like the butler from The Nanny. It's not he is English.
37:58
Although do you know the movie Empire Records? Of course I do. Yeah,
38:04
yeah, he's Rex Manning. Ah fuck Okay, yeah yeah, it's
38:07
Rex Manning day and he's and he's Rex Manning. Yeah, but he never
38:10
really sort of never hit it big. I mean, he's incredibly handsome,
38:14
Valley. He looked like the dude from the Princess Bride. He's got that
38:16
sort of ye little tought. Yeah, yeah, I'm thinking of the music
38:24
you know later on this episode when they go to the museum and you hear
38:28
that doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo Do do do Do Do Do
38:30
do? That's the kind of a music expect to hear playing. When he
38:35
walks into a room, he sort of looked like Michael York who was you
38:37
know, what do you call it? He was homes Dad and homes paternity
38:42
cute, That's right, Yeah, that's what I was thinking of, And
38:45
yeah, homes perternity cut ye a bit like that anyway. But yeah,
38:50
there was that recent Grease TV series as well, Rise of the Pink Ladies,
38:52
that I think was kind of riffing on Grease Too a bit as well.
38:55
So, yeh, people aren't there gun, that's pretty good. I'm
38:59
like, I don't know it is it's Grease too? One has reproduction as
39:01
the song rebroduction? Is that Grease too? I think? So, I
39:07
don't think it's in Grease one. I think I know all the songs from
39:09
this one. Wasn't John Travoltan living in it? In John, I'm afraid
39:14
just na look as much as everybody loves Michelle fire for It's kind of like,
39:17
no, no, I just didn't work. No, it felt like
39:20
cash grabbing. It certainly was. But then he goes to see the Sun,
39:22
a blockbuster, which was a men in black riff. There they get
39:25
out of my way? Was it? You raggedy maggots? My face,
39:29
you raggedy maggots. That's why it must be seeing that, It's like,
39:31
that's what Will Smith was in that year. It's just that the dded catchphrase,
39:34
didn't he Yeah, it was like that makes this look good? Well,
39:37
you know, work on Earth is one of my favorite fucking lines in
39:42
the history of movies. It's just when it comes to sci fi films,
39:45
it's just the greatest. It's so stupid, but it's just it's you know,
39:50
and you know that that continues to this day. We know, keep
39:52
my wife's name out your fucking mouth the catchphrase, but it's the emphasis on
39:58
fuck fuck mouth mouth. I would never forget. The first time I watched
40:04
that, it was like it took took the world was processing for about ten
40:08
seconds of is this actually happening? Is this real? What am I watching
40:12
right now? It's just so I know, it's a dated reference. Now
40:15
I would go into it, but it was just you rewatch it now,
40:17
and it's just like it's so surreal, like Will Smith doing that was happening.
40:23
Here going on, It's like watching your childhood hero getting shot. It
40:28
was like, what is going on was happening. It's it's our version of
40:30
watching the JFK SASA. Really, where were you when Will Smith slapped Chris
40:37
rob Because I mean, you know, Twitter seems loud, but you know
40:44
you can't actually hear it. It's just you know a lot of people are
40:45
sort of typing and everything that so it sounds like a bit of a cacophony.
40:49
It was like Twitter went silent for like ten second, like and then
40:57
it was like hashtag the app. Everyone was just like, I don't know
41:01
what to do. They couldn't they couldn't read their fingers stunned to silence like
41:07
ten seconds because it was just like you couldn't look away, you know,
41:10
you just could not look away from it anyway. Yeah, And I mean
41:14
when I first sort of heard about it, I'm like, oh, it's
41:16
some kind of it's it's a stunt. It's a prank that has to be
41:19
a bit or they've got a film coming out or something. Yeah, yeah,
41:22
yeah, But then it's just like, oh no, this just happened,
41:25
and now we're just going to keep handing out off because like this should
41:29
have happened, and then we're going to give one to Will Smith. Dude.
41:31
It did that mus to be the most awkward room to be in for
41:39
the rest of the night, right, it really was. Yeah. I
41:43
mean you're hearing all these stories about I don't know, like alliances were being
41:46
drawn up, but some people were like, oh someone, so I went
41:49
and talked to Will and make sure that he was a right someone was sure
41:52
that Chris Smith's Chris Rocks all right got slapped really hard, is what it
41:58
got slapped by Will Smith. There's not a small guy, No, not
42:01
at all, that Will Smith because it Will Smith is because we we just
42:05
reviewed for our Going Down the South Pike, which is still available for free.
42:07
Can find it now when all of your various podcast apps. The episode
42:14
what was it called cat Orgyorgy Wicked wild wild West not a wild while we're
42:21
starring Will Smith. Yes, but then Bart's racing home. All the trees
42:24
are changing color. He's not done yet. He needs to find a summer
42:27
romance like that. I thought that was a nice visual gear. No,
42:30
I've got an outrun. I've got an outrun autumn. Yes, So he
42:35
finds the summer romance sort of like a Grease parody, not a Grease parody
42:38
of Grease reference. I guess with the summer lovin, but anyway he can
42:40
guess. So, but yeah, that what a queen that girl. Yeah,
42:44
a hundred boys in the summer, Yes, exactly. Bart gets home.
42:46
He said, I just had my first kiss and I was like what,
42:49
And I'm like, don't worry about continuity, doesn't matter. We've had
42:51
several episodes of Bart having his first kiss. Let's not get into it.
42:53
Over then says, you know your offer barter beer or whatever. When he
42:57
gets the third base and then ticks off on his list have fake interest in
43:00
the boy, and Lisa says, finally there's time now for us to go
43:02
to the museum. And they arrive and there's the show for this week or
43:07
whatever they think. In his Loom's Labor and Liberation, where it's the history
43:12
of women weaving and home, it's just Lucky's just disappointed. You can't believe
43:15
it. He goes to offer but a drink of his special water bottle.
43:17
This whole thing just wasn't even all that funny. But then it turns into
43:21
the the show, there's a history of museum sponsored by Kelloggs. I didn't
43:24
get the reference. They're sponsored by Kellogg's. What Calloggs like or something?
43:30
What? No, I guess the Kelloggs is like, it's breakfast cereal for
43:34
kids. You know, he's tone of the tiger. But he's just getting
43:36
you know, absolutely weaponized. Maybe, although I think they might have covered
43:40
their eyes legally, because I think normally a spell Kelloggs the breakfast cereal people
43:45
with two g's and this was only one. Okay, they should have caught
43:49
it. Kelloggs would have been better, right for the history of islence.
43:52
Oh why aren't you running for the simple anyway? Assistant? Yes, oh,
44:00
buy, I'd like a top of tea. But there's a really long
44:07
line, Flanders all the way at the front rest. The question why is
44:09
it the very fund of a line for a museum's gonna talking about the history
44:15
of weapons? Anyway? So Hermer cuts in and then everyone else cut in
44:17
front of Flanders. They end up at the back of the line. So
44:20
Flanders a good theory to make the kids feel better. Turnament, we'll feel
44:22
like we're at the front. But Hamma won't of them. Let them have
44:24
that time to do. Would I do best? Ruin it for everybody?
44:30
Hey Flanders, thanks for saving our place. But wait, wait, hold
44:35
the phone there home, dude, I was totally here. Are you calling
44:37
me a liar in front of my kids? Because I take a bullet for
44:42
you man right in the mouth. Oh fine, take the cut, ned
44:47
Flanders is doing out cuts? Hey for one? Which to part Acome said,
44:54
if bony here is getting cuts, I want them too. What disco
45:00
stew slads in front of you? Hear that? Run? Tell you what?
45:09
If we turn around, it'll feel like we're at the front of the
45:12
line. Yeah, no you don't. I'm everywhere. Then we're at the
45:19
Imax theater and the movie is Nunchuck's cool but useless, And I kind of
45:22
agree ridiculous. Yeah, I wholly disagree. You agree or disagree? I
45:28
well, I've never seen nunchucks used in person. I've never seen like.
45:31
I can imagine him being effective if you know how to use him, but
45:34
fucking knowing how to use him properly? It seems like a lot of work.
45:37
Yes, true. I mean, look, I initially thought this nunchucks
45:43
will look really cool when you're striking your pose and you're sort of flicking him
45:45
over your shoulder and like it's like Jesus, don't mess with this person.
45:49
It was the coolest ninja turtle. So I always wanted nunchucks when I was
45:51
a kid, not a Donna Tello. Dude. Well, if you were
45:55
a little bit of a geeky kid, you were done a Tello a kid
45:58
because he was the gadgets guy. If there's a bit of a smart ass,
46:00
you were the Raphael. If you were just the easy go like a
46:04
lucky sheep, you were Michael Langelo. Leonardo was the boring one. If
46:08
you're boring, likely no one Luckily Leonardo, Right, he's the leader like
46:12
off. That's like liking Cyclops. If you're into the X Men, yea
46:17
is the is the reserved mature big brother. Like I don't know, you
46:22
got fun love and angsty of the world. I have angst or smart you
46:28
know, good thinking, good thinking. Look, I initially thought, you
46:31
know, nun chucks, and they look great, but are they all that
46:34
effective? I writtenly saw John Wick Chapter four, Wait to watch it.
46:38
Though there's a lot to it. There's a lot going on. I just
46:42
can't find like, I can't book three hours in my schedule to sit down
46:45
and watch it yet, you know that's the thing. Yeah. But Keano,
46:49
God bless him, he seems to have learned every weapon on the face
46:52
of the earth to convincingly playing John Wick over four movies, breaks out the
46:55
nun chacks on this one and sort of has some guys his head pind or
46:59
table and just none chucking him. It's like, oh, that's how you
47:02
use because you don't just get a baton. Well true, but I mean
47:07
I think the chain gives you a little bit more sort of momentum. Momentum
47:10
yeah, okay, but anyway, yeah, Kiano bashing the shad out of
47:15
this guy's skull with nune chucks Like, oh, okay, I now get
47:19
the appeal. Okay. But then we have Maggie looking at the wall of
47:23
weapons. She takes out the knife and she holds march at ransom basically,
47:27
and then people ever tries the yard and the bullet vests. I did like
47:30
the end of that scene for like you think it's also like harmless and it
47:34
pans out and bulls have been fight everywhere in the room and everyone looks scared.
47:37
I'm like, that's exactly what would happen. I'm like, that is
47:40
true. I'll like that little pay off at the end. Then we have
47:43
Bart stretching Millhouse. Do you want to be in the NBA or not?
47:46
But I'm sorry, that just reminded me of just a bit from the very
47:51
early days of Jackass, where I think I've talked about this bass when Knoxville
47:55
and some mates went out to like weigh out of town, out of the
47:58
mountains or something, and he shot himself in the in the chest while wearing
48:02
a bulletproof like pull out a thirty eight and shot himself in the chest with
48:07
it, And the footage of it is like that really sort of grainy Blair
48:12
witch sty whole hogital video from like the late eighties, early two thousands.
48:16
It's like late eighties, late nineties. I'm sorry, but oh god,
48:22
this looks like a snuff movie everything before Jack asked we had that c K
48:29
Why remember c K? Why do you remember those? Oh yeah, camp,
48:31
Well, you can say the full name because it might be camp Kip
48:35
yourself. That's wanted. That's what it stood for it. But yeah,
48:37
I remember they've seen so many videos these days on YouTube where references to self
48:43
harm like that automatically sort of blanked out. Really yeah, not good anyway,
48:50
So that's why I was reluctant to say the full name. But you
48:52
know, screw, We'll just see what we want. This is a full
48:57
finger discount. But but as I said, but stretching Millhouse to try and
49:00
get into the NBA family or leaving Millhouse is now stretched looks very much like
49:04
stretched dude from the tree as of horror ten. I want to say it
49:07
is when but it is stretched dude. But then they leave, but Flanders
49:10
they're leaving, But Flanders is they haven't even got in yet. That's how
49:13
far the line had been. But then they lock it up and the homer
49:16
gives him the audio tape of Melanie Griffith just walking around and saying, this
49:21
one's nice room, this one's nice too. It just they make her sound
49:23
so dumb, don't they. But she'd voiced them though. She's willing to
49:27
go with it. This room's nice. Let's go into the next one.
49:30
This room's nice too, This room's nice. This room's nice too. This
49:37
room's nice too. This room's nice. This room's nice. This room's nice
49:43
too. The Hall of the Weapons has been locked out, well, the
49:46
history of weapons has been locked out now, but they can still go into
49:49
the Hall of Man and is where they discuss evolution and it's got unisex toilets
49:53
and Flanders is just not a fand at all the myth of creation. But
49:58
this is the thing if you've been raised to believe that, you know,
50:00
creationism is the thing I can actually buy into. Todd being like what's mummy
50:05
your monkey? Like like like that's oh yeah. It would be so confusing
50:07
for a child, wouldn't it. Like what do you mean? Yeah,
50:10
if you've been sold a bill of goods for you know, certain for all
50:14
your life, Yeah, of course you're going to go, well, that's
50:16
when you start making your logical you're quite unquite logical connections go well, if
50:21
this is the case, then there's nothing no, no, no, yeah,
50:24
I can really do a number on your whole Yeah, your whole belief
50:30
system. I love how that is. Sort of take the Micky as well.
50:31
It's like it's old lies, evolution, it's old lies. You told
50:34
us we came from a stock, you did it? It's like, oh,
50:38
so like everyone lies, that's why. And then you know, if
50:42
there's little kid is out there listening talent, turn us off for like a
50:44
minute, right, But I like to say the actual truth. But it's
50:46
like I've had someone I've discussed on the podcast say that they told their kids
50:52
about S A N T A right, And it's like, because I don't
50:53
like to my kids, And I was like, you know what, how
50:57
about you just fucking let them have a bit of a childhood, like okay,
51:00
like some lies are okay. No, some are okay. They're not
51:04
hurting it. It's just it's fun, you know what I mean. Anyway,
51:07
that just reminded me of that. But so then the church counceled meeting
51:10
is hardly anybody in there. I did like the sign at the front topic
51:14
religion at religion and Flanders is angry again side show mail, just randomly that
51:19
they can't get enough of their side show mail, can they? As I've
51:22
written down here, that's too much mail. That's in brak. It's two
51:25
scenes. Yeah, two scenes is just too much. Yeah, So Flanders
51:29
is angry that there's that. You know, there's no apes in the Bible.
51:31
How can you believe it? Why would they believe when it's not in
51:34
the Bible? And Helen loved Joyce suggests that this controversy could help to generate
51:37
some extra income since the Episcopalians have their vibrating seats over now across the road
51:42
and their church. And he says, well, I could be the white
51:44
Al Sharpton. Now Al Sharpton another reference for the young uns who may not
51:47
understand who he is. You want to give us a bit of a bit
51:50
of an African American community leader, the Reverend Al Sharpton. I believe the
51:55
time, didn't we? Yes? Yeah, I mean, look, I'm
52:01
loath to say the don king of religion, but had a very had a
52:07
very similar sort of style of delivery and appeal. A show man, wasn't
52:13
he? Yeh yeah, a civil rights activist as well. Primarily yes,
52:16
but yeah, you continue look up Al Sharkin. But Flanner suggests that they
52:20
are the ultimate theories to evolution to Skinner at school, and they threaten to
52:23
burn the Skinner's car lise if he doesn't actually listen to them. So now
52:27
they're going to be teaching creationism in the school and Ralph ass our Ocean God's
52:30
Tears. Skinner looks over to see for approval from Flanners and Reverend Love joined.
52:37
They approve. So then now Lisa is the Ralph as Ralph refer because
52:40
Lisa can't believe this is actually happening. So when I come back from commercial
52:44
and Skinner shows the video. So you're calling Guide a liar an unbiased comparison
52:49
of evolution and creationism. How can you teach the Book of Genesis as a
52:52
scientific theory? This helpful video will evade all your questions? High screen word.
53:00
So you're calling God a liar an unbiased comparison of evolution and creationism.
53:06
Let's say hi to two books. One the Bible, was written by our
53:09
Lord. The other, The Origin of Species, was written by a cowardly
53:17
drunk named Charles Darwin. Yeah, is this slander? Darwin was one of
53:25
the greatest mind of all time, then why is he making out with Satan?
53:34
Revolution is widely acknowledged. His scientific fact is even accepted by prominent conservatives
53:39
like George Will and the late Pope John Paul. It's something to think about.
53:45
The George Will, have you read this book, The Argin of Spaces
53:49
I've divide it. I have never read the argin of species. It just
53:52
seemed like way above my pay rate. They called Charles Darwin the cowardly drunk,
53:55
and he makes out with Satan just as you were discussing the elidist that
54:00
everyone plays dirty goodness. Lisa then gets home. She's really angry. She
54:05
says, you know, on a test, if every answer is God did
54:07
it? And Marge tries to explain that margin here is kind of not the
54:10
voice of reason, but she's the one saying can't we all just get along?
54:15
The moderate centrist that's like, like we can coexist, Like you can
54:19
believe that and they can believe that. And it doesn't mean that either one
54:22
is right or wrong. It's just let's just learn to live together and accept
54:24
each other's beliefs. That's all well known. Mad. Before we get into
54:29
that, I have a very important question. Why was Maggie in the bin?
54:34
I I didn't even write notes for that. I was like, I
54:38
don't get this, this just feels weird, didn't pay off anything whatever.
54:43
I just moved on. Yeah, I mean was she holding the switchblade again?
54:45
I mean I don't think she don't know. I think if she was
54:50
then it'll be like, oh, now she's got a taste for crime and
54:52
she's going to be holding up Marge for candy all the time. But it
54:54
was just like she's just in the bin. March happened, Marge just like
54:58
everyone the bin, and then Maggie was in there and I was like,
55:00
this is silly, doesn't make I didn't get it. If you know what
55:02
it meant. Let us know Simpson's mail, Bagerie, but don't come come
55:06
below. Lisa says, no, you get the cheese between science or belief.
55:09
So Lisa's very she's very black and white, and she's very like,
55:13
I'm right, you're wrong. She believes something like she's just very matter of
55:15
fact. She very hard to budge her and very would you say that she's
55:20
she struggles to what's the word compromise. By the end, she always does,
55:27
But at first she's very much initially gets very sort of dogmatic and very
55:30
sort of strict and and believes, yeah, because you know, I think
55:34
in this case, science is her religion. So you know that's she's going
55:37
to be quite zealous about that. You're right, But I think invariably she
55:43
learns to learns to as he said, compromise learns to find the find the
55:49
positive in both arguments. We're now having dinner and families all having dinner,
55:52
and Homer says he's opened the new ideas as well. But then he finds
55:55
onions with his peas and they ain't going to happen. I've got a friend
55:59
who has to separate everything on the plate, and they say they're not diagnosed
56:04
of anything. But I'm like, I'm pretty sure there's something something though,
56:12
but do a bit of that. He separates the food and then he has
56:14
to eat it all in particular order as well. Okay, so he separates
56:19
the veggies, everything has to be separate, not touching on the plate,
56:22
and eats it in an anti clockwise direction, so that meets is the last
56:24
thing that he eats on the plate every time. I don't think your friend
56:28
needs to be diagnosed. I think me not a doctor, can pretty pretty
56:36
solid diagnosis based on that. It's now a town meeting time. They're discussing
56:40
the disabled parks, as you're saying earlier, for smokes and pop tarts.
56:45
Yeah, Quimby, not just secrets but pop tarts. But notice, as
56:47
we always say, when it comes to these town meetings. It's either side
56:51
Mail, Lenny carl or Barney and it's again Lenny Carlin, this and such.
56:55
You know you've got You've got a whole town full of people. Is
56:59
him to take advance? They just forget now. Yeah, but Lisa says,
57:01
you know, you can only teach one theory. You can't teach both.
57:04
It's just not going to w you can't co exist. So of course
57:07
they go creationism. Now did you think it was interesting in that? I
57:09
feel like in the real world it would be you know, going evolution and
57:13
creationism would be the one having to try and fight to get in there.
57:15
Wherein the Sins universe, it's evolutions having to try and fight its way back
57:19
into the school system. I know Skinner was bright, but no, it
57:22
feels like that an entire town is against Lisa and against evolution, which which
57:25
is odd. Yeah. Look, I mean, I'm sorry, I should
57:30
do a little more. I shouldn't have done my wikipeding before we did this
57:32
episode. But I mean I'm keen to find out how many states in the
57:36
US favored creationism or what they read rebranded as intelligent design in favor of Oh,
57:46
this is what it was referred to around this time intelligent Design movement.
57:51
The next one is Intelligent Design Debunked. For meanwhile, Martin. Martin finds
57:58
a letter for the secret meeting that has been written by L. M.
58:01
S. This as we get the little mostes like gag, which it just
58:05
comes out of absolutely nowhere. It is so stupid, but I absolutely loved
58:08
it. Little Most is like it's little little some, like when someone's little
58:14
little Tom Jeffreys or something like little at the start. It's makes it so
58:16
much funnier to me. It does. I'm always astonished at how many hip
58:22
hop artists call themselves little something. Yeah, little John, but it's not
58:23
little, it's little l L Little John Nelson. He's in the meeting as
58:31
well. We realize he's in the wrong one. It's meant to be with
58:32
the bullies burning spiders. I think it was, which I thought, Oh,
58:36
that's very nice. Chapter one, when we compare the individuals of the
58:39
same variety or sub variety of our older cultivated plants and animals, Lisa Simpson,
58:45
you're under arrest for the teaching of non public of science. There are
58:52
so many worse crimes. Why are you persecuting me? Well, we only
58:57
have the man power to enforce the last lot past. You know, it's
59:00
not the best system, but well, in fact it's it's pretty much the
59:04
worst. You live. If you do, you live, if you do.
59:12
In the old days, you would have been all over that. And
59:15
then we cut to a scene with Snake just shooting people on a roof,
59:17
which I don't think you would have in an episode anymore, Like you live,
59:21
you don't, And I'm like, oh my, Usually Snake is just
59:24
like he's not actually really hurting people. He's just rubbing the quickie maut or
59:29
whatever, and he might shoot a pool or whatever, but it's not like
59:30
going out and just murdering people. This seemed like he was just murdering people.
59:35
He's not a random shooter. That's not for Snake. We know and
59:38
love. Yeah, even for Snake, this felt out of character. Now
59:42
the court case, this Gud versus Lisa Simpson, and we get Wallace Brady
59:46
as a prosecutor, and Wallas Brady was just absolutely hilarious. I really really
59:50
enjoyed it. In Brockman loved the reveal of him being on the jury as
59:52
well. But it's just dumb. It's just not going well from for Lisa
59:58
at all. Now there's a scene where they cut to the jury or gasping,
1:00:02
can't remember what was said exactly. I think it's Arthur Franks says something
1:00:06
or whatever. But they'll go and Lenny in that shot has no five o'clock
1:00:09
shadow. It's just it's just yellow. Yeah, unusual, Yeah it is.
1:00:15
I'll freeze frame it and chuck it up in the in the Patrion group
1:00:17
and I will make it happen. But they bring up the missing link theory,
1:00:22
the missing link, and then we get Wallace with the Bambi and the
1:00:25
mother who killed your your mother who's at the fire evolution, So Lisa,
1:00:30
they all arrive home the family and Lisa apologizes, you know, she should
1:00:34
have just gone with the flow, like you said, and he is just
1:00:36
like, ah, Now I feel bad for Lisa. Like usually usually I
1:00:40
struggled to feel bad for Lisa when she's being sort of like somewhat pompous.
1:00:44
But here I know they I thought the way that Jay Stewart Burns wrote her
1:00:49
in this episode, she didn't come across like a twenty year old in the
1:00:52
body of an eight year old. She came across like a kid. And
1:00:55
the fact that she gives up here, I'm just like, oh, you
1:00:58
know what. I thought she was very well written. It felt real the
1:01:00
way she responded to the situation. It did feel like the first time,
1:01:06
you know, you discovered that Esa n Ta is not Ria. Yeah.
1:01:10
Yeah, you're just like like, oh, no, I've had I've had
1:01:14
one of my big beliefs just sort of zipped away. Yeah. But it's
1:01:19
not even so much that it's not that she doesn't believe it anymore. It's
1:01:21
just that she feels defeated, doesn't she like, what's the point? You
1:01:23
can't system? Yeah? Or you know, yeah, you've got up against
1:01:27
the system knowing that you're right, and yeah, still you've got some rather
1:01:32
obtuse people just kicking it to the curb. I'm good. So she throws
1:01:37
her the Charles Darn book in the bin and Marge then reads it, and
1:01:42
I'm like, you know what, Marge, for all her faults, she's
1:01:45
smoking like she's one point. She's like at the at the baseball cage,
1:01:50
we're in a short shorts and she's in the shower with her hair all down.
1:01:52
I'm like, they always draw sexy, Marge. Haad down is always
1:01:57
sexy. As weird as that sounds, but Marge haad and is great.
1:02:00
I'm a fan. Yeah, always reminded. It reminds me of the I
1:02:05
think It's Homer alone where she goes to Rancho relax so and she sort of
1:02:07
sinks into the bar. Yes, yeah, please, I love it when
1:02:13
you're not into it by ignored me, I'm not even here. Really weird
1:02:19
scene here though, where Homers like he loves it when she's not into it.
1:02:21
I'm like, this just felt like something you might have like riffed in,
1:02:24
like the Writer's Room is a bit of a gay, but you don't
1:02:27
put it into an episode. It felt so I was like, hey,
1:02:30
what if what if home? Or was like more like Peter Griffin or you
1:02:34
know, what if more family? What's got a racy gags? Can we
1:02:36
get away with no home? And not being down with consent? Yeah?
1:02:40
This was a Peter Griffin gad to the fullest. Yeah, Millhouse then I
1:02:45
did not like it. It made me feel unpleasant. Yeah. Millhouse then
1:02:47
serves a he'll serve time whilst Lisa fleas to Mexico. She says, not
1:02:51
going to do that. Let's reveal that it's Nelson now what's this a reference
1:02:53
to the Puzzle Transition. I have no idea. I get the feeling it
1:02:57
might be like old school Mission Impossible something get smart on Mission Mission Him.
1:03:01
Let's go, let's do Puzzle Transition TV. Yeah, Puzzle trus I'm just
1:03:07
typing here, Puzzle Transition TV show. It's gonna be a TV show reference,
1:03:10
right, It's gonna be something. The Crystal Maze is a British game
1:03:13
show. Advice by Nah, I don't think it's that. The Bletchley Circle
1:03:20
drama. It's not it. Nah, It's weird, isn't it. Let
1:03:22
us know because it's not on the wiki page either. Let's go, let's
1:03:25
go. I'll type monkey soup and I go to the IMDb because sometimes I
1:03:29
have more info there in the trivia. So I go to the IMDb page.
1:03:32
Let's have a look. I'll go to the trivia there. I damn
1:03:36
it with your ads, all right, here we go, Here we go.
1:03:40
The first thing. The first thing came up. The two scenes of
1:03:43
Nelson removing his mask was supposed to feature the Mission Impossible theme music, but
1:03:45
the staff couldn't get the rights of the song, so Alf Clausen had to
1:03:49
create a unique motif there you go. So it was supposed to be a
1:03:52
Mission Impossible. Reference was they'd rip off the mask, but they couldn't get
1:03:55
the rights to the music. If you haven't seen the latest Mission Impossible,
1:03:59
are you of those movies I've seen? I'ven't ever seen the first three,
1:04:01
Yeah, but I've got them all penciled in because I'm just apparently it's getting
1:04:04
better and better, especially if Tom Cruise is doing his own stunts and shit,
1:04:08
like he's trying to outdo himself every time. Now, yeah, they're
1:04:11
really a gold standard stuff for me. But and let you know, the
1:04:14
masks sort of play a big part in them. You know, He's always
1:04:16
like, oh my god, you thought it was Philip Seamoffer, but now
1:04:19
we pulled off a mask in the Tom Cruise or something like that. And
1:04:24
someone someone on social media said, because I think the next Mission Impossible one
1:04:29
might be the last one, supposedly because Tom Cruise is getting a bit old
1:04:32
and can't be jumping out of planes or holding onto rockets anymore. And I
1:04:35
think it's like, wouldn't be great at the very end they pull off a
1:04:40
mask. Tom Cruise pulled off a Tom Cruise masking was like a melee West
1:04:43
of Bits because he's from in the first movie. It's like, at least
1:04:45
shit, they played the long car full circle anyway, that'd be neat.
1:04:51
I just says here. In Rolling Stone magazines June twenty eighth, nineteen ninety
1:04:56
cover story about The Simpsons, it called Homer Simpson a man whom evolution has
1:05:00
laughed. Hear the law again in this episode, the law against teaching evolution
1:05:03
is struck down because angry Hommer resembles the picture of what an evolutionary missing link
1:05:09
would actually look like. Anyway. But yeah, thank you I am dB
1:05:12
for clearing that up for us. So it must they must say that in
1:05:15
the audio commentary they were going for them for the music. It couldn't get
1:05:17
a mission impossible refeah, because it must have been. I was if it
1:05:20
doesn't have that the music don't don't don't don't don't I mean I do do
1:05:26
do do? I was like there could be any bloody spy show from the
1:05:29
sixties or seven talking. It was so obscure that you knew it was something.
1:05:31
But like mission Puzzle doesn't have the puzzles they does it. I don't
1:05:34
think so, like it feels no. I mean I think they mentioned the
1:05:40
old TV series The Saint in there as well. They could have something to
1:05:42
do with it maybe maybe anyway, but yeah, so so Nelson really reveals
1:05:47
it he's the he was Millhouse in that scene, which is just weird.
1:05:50
It just felt so out of place to have it this episode, Like what
1:05:54
was the point? You know what? I mean? Just what why?
1:06:00
I mean, because it's sort of like it's a spive episode. It's like,
1:06:01
what's going on? I know there's a lot in this episode. As
1:06:04
we said, it's got a really solid foundation, and you know, it's
1:06:08
got some good gags that are relevant to that throughout the whole thing, but
1:06:11
then occasional just throws in these just weird little non sequents that you know,
1:06:16
and sometimes they work a treat, but in this case, it's like,
1:06:19
no, you've got a perfectly good thing going here, don't you know,
1:06:23
but a little most is like is one thing right? But like, yeah,
1:06:26
I direct reference to something like if it was an episode it was about
1:06:30
like spies or something like that, it would make sense, but in an
1:06:32
episode about evolution and things like that just felt I'd like save that for an
1:06:35
episode that makes sense. It feels like it's fitting the theme with the episode,
1:06:39
like you're going for like a serious I know that it's not a serious
1:06:43
moment because Millhouse's dressed this Leasa he's gonna go to go to prisoner blah blah
1:06:45
blah blah. But it's a somewhat serious theme and then you've got this random
1:06:48
shit in there. Yeah, I mean it's it's it's a serious part of
1:06:53
the of the story and that you know, Lisa's faith is kind of in
1:06:59
sciences on a dwindling, and Madge comes up with the solutions like yeah,
1:07:02
it's gonna it's gonna be great. You know, it's like, oh,
1:07:03
this will lead us into the final Uh it's not final acting sort of final
1:07:08
sequence like oh cool, But then you put this weird button on the end
1:07:12
of it with like no, that's an ass at all, that's actually Anielsen's
1:07:16
like no, not bin. Yeah. Back at the courtroom now, mister
1:07:20
Flaggers, you're familiar with the Bible, correct as familiar as it's proper to
1:07:26
be. Don't worry, Lisa, I've got the answer to your problems right
1:07:30
here. Look call me. I brought you a beers marge, a twist
1:07:38
off. Come hurt, and you are positive that man and ape cannot be
1:07:46
related as sure as I am that Jesus hates hip hop man open I what's
1:07:53
in you as a matter can't where I'm trying to. Yeah, yeah,
1:08:05
market face go roller, and Flanders knows where he mits you know I'm wrong
1:08:11
because she holds up the photo of the of the missing link with with Homer.
1:08:15
Marge can't wait to see what we're volution will make next. You know
1:08:18
what was she just could be? I know, like a bird with a
1:08:23
people face bear with pants on. Yes, And then Lisa says to Flanders,
1:08:27
you know what, I respect your beliefs, but you know, I
1:08:29
don't think you should be taught in school as much like science shouldn't be taught
1:08:30
in church like you would believe. And then it's revealed that Todd is Nelson.
1:08:34
I'm like, it's almost like at the last minute they're like this would
1:08:38
be funny. It's like it just crowned these random too fucking like Nelson moments
1:08:41
into the episode. Weird. Yeah, I mean, if you'd had one
1:08:44
at the very start and one at the very end, like we had Nelson
1:08:46
at the at the in the meeting, remember and then he went and went
1:08:48
to go burn Spider. So we've already had Nelson in the episode. It's
1:08:51
just weird, get it? But look, I mean we've said in the
1:08:58
past, how you know a bad ending can taint a good episode, or
1:09:01
a good ending can redeem a bad episode. This is not a good ending.
1:09:04
I mean, well, actually, no, it's a good ending.
1:09:06
Just that final little bit is not that great. The damage is that there's
1:09:11
not enough damage done to make one go, hey, the monkey suits.
1:09:15
There was a table episode. No, it was good, it was pretty.
1:09:16
It was not a bad episode. A bit of fun with this one.
1:09:19
Definitely enjoyed it. What do we learn Palmer? All right, what
1:09:23
did you learn from the episode? Mister Davis? What did I learn from
1:09:27
this episode? That I really shouldn't have studied for a Bachelor of Arts?
1:09:35
I really should have gone for a PhD in truthology from Christian Tech? Christian
1:09:39
Tech. Yeah, what's the closest thing we have to Christian Tech in Geelong?
1:09:43
Yeah? Oh golly, I don't think we have anything right? No,
1:09:48
No, I mean, I'm sure there are various religious schools like Lutheran
1:09:51
and Catholic and all that kind of stuff, but ones that are just you
1:09:55
know, God's best. I don't know. Well, I learned that I'm
1:09:59
never going to beer unless he has reached third base. Get on, when
1:10:04
that's done. From this knee forward, your names will be all right,
1:10:09
missus Davis, It's time for the New Name Championship. We haven't done this
1:10:12
for like five weeks. Just we're gonna know, pull back the curtain.
1:10:15
Basically, we're about to start recording guys like we've done new names. I'm
1:10:18
like, shit, that's right. We do extra stuff, don't we.
1:10:20
We make extra work for ourselves around here. Dando, you were honest to
1:10:25
a fault. We could have, you know, kept the whole ruse going
1:10:28
that this thing is blind. I mean it is blind. You know,
1:10:30
it's I don't know who's who's doing the who's submitting the names. We sort
1:10:36
of pull them out of a hat blindly, and it's like, yeah,
1:10:39
well I like that name, but I didn't know who submitted it this time.
1:10:42
I looked at the list with the names attached, but I did not
1:10:45
let my you know, appreciation for say, Talio and Riquez. Sorry Tarlio
1:10:51
didn't get one of this round. I didn't let that. What did I
1:10:58
say Talia, you said, Tyler, Yeah, I thought it was Talia.
1:11:01
Should we start again? No? Okay, then, missen Rikers,
1:11:09
I apologize unreservedly. But the upshot of it is, I've got three alternative
1:11:15
titles for the Monkey Suit here. I really didn't pay too much attention to
1:11:21
the names. I was just looking at the titles. So let's go with
1:11:24
it. Shall we down know when I start? Or before we do that?
1:11:27
Do you want to sort of talk about who's doing well on the leaderboard?
1:11:30
Yes? So the current leader board stands with in third position, we
1:11:32
have a two way tie Adam Moorehouse and David Mott. In second position,
1:11:38
Kyle Muldoon Heath Appleby on twelve points. That the guys in the third were
1:11:42
on ten. I don't know whether I've said that. In the first position,
1:11:44
me have Luke McKay on seventeen points, So hit me, what did
1:11:45
we got? It's funny you should mention that because one point goes to Luke
1:11:51
McKay O. Luke's now in eighteen points. That makes him six clear of
1:11:56
second way. I'm pretty sure he's gonna win because any one episode unless come
1:12:02
less do we get three points? Now? Who knows? Unless we go
1:12:05
for triple points or something with the final one. I don't know that would
1:12:09
spectacular. Luke gave us a lovely Troy McLure reverence were by retitling this episode
1:12:15
Hail to the Chimp. Hail to the Chimp. Alrighty, I think that's
1:12:18
Troy McLure, isn't it. Yeah, Hail to the Chimp. Yes,
1:12:21
two points go to Richard gayfar Richard alrighty? Two points now gave us Richard
1:12:28
now on I believe three points. Richard was on one, is on three
1:12:31
points one. Richard does one. Richard for Homer Sapiens. Not bad,
1:12:36
not bad at all. I like it, but three points. The new
1:12:43
name for the monkey Suit is the doll region of species You and your Does
1:12:47
you love it? I love them? The kid is guys and that was
1:12:55
given to us by one Fergus jeffs. Fergus Jeff STAFFORLKS is in the Okay,
1:13:00
so Fergus is now in fourth position on nine points. Well done,
1:13:05
Fergus. I'm near Fergus. And that is the new name challenge for the
1:13:12
Monkey Suit episode of the Symptoms of four Finger Discard. So now Luke McKay
1:13:17
cannot lose first position, while on Luke, you've wanted it again. Luke
1:13:19
McKay's done it again. I'd done eighteen points. He can't lose it.
1:13:24
He's six ahead of second. But we can see if Heath Appleby or Kyle
1:13:28
muldoon you can get three points next week and try and claim second position and
1:13:31
third as well. We've got David Mott and Adam Moorehouse both on ten points.
1:13:34
All right, so now it's time we get into some mail. Bad
1:13:38
questions, Demail demail is here. Okay, so we've got here. First
1:13:44
question, of course, is from Andrew JP. Andrew says, favorite religious
1:13:46
themed movie mine is the Life of Brian one of the best Monty Python movies,
1:13:50
religious themed movies, religious themed movies of angels? Is that religious thing?
1:13:58
Can we go of Michael? Yeah? Why not? What about you?
1:14:04
My favorite religious theme movie is Martin Scorsese is The Last Temptation of Christ.
1:14:09
Came out in nineteen eighty eight, starring Willem Dafoe. Was JC a
1:14:15
writer in the US who I really respect, said it got to meet Martin
1:14:18
Scorsese and said to him, if Church may made me feel the way Last
1:14:25
Temptation makes me feel, I go every Sunday, and I have to agree.
1:14:29
It's, yeah, just a terrific movie. It's it's really well put
1:14:32
to get an incredibly acted, fantastic soundtrack by Peter Gabriel. I watch it
1:14:38
nearly every Easter, just a sort of Okay, get back in touch with
1:14:42
my Catholic slash religious roots a little bit, because no, no, it
1:14:48
just works for me. It's it's a I think it's a wonderful movie.
1:14:51
I mean, not even wonderful is the wrong term for it. Tremendous movie.
1:14:56
Okay, I'm going to make it more lighthearted. I'm going to say,
1:14:58
Bruce Almighty starting Jim Carrey, Can I go with that one? Absolutely?
1:15:01
Again? It's got God in it played by Morgan Freeman. I but
1:15:04
I remember the moment it was like I got the power and makes the fire
1:15:09
hydrant go off. That was like killing. I was like ten would I
1:15:14
was a be Jim Carrey fan as a kid. Were you a Jim Carrey
1:15:15
fan in the nineties for that very brief period where he really burst out?
1:15:21
Yeah, I mean it's like, wow, this guy is just grabbing things
1:15:26
by the scraffling neck and shaking the hell out of it. I mean,
1:15:28
having was it like Ace Mantua of the Mask and Dumb and Dumber, all
1:15:33
like in the space of what seemed like eighteen months to two years. It's
1:15:36
like, oh shit, there's guy's everywhere and he's just you know, it's
1:15:39
so full of beans. And you know, then he did a couple of
1:15:43
other things like The Truman Show, which you know, we reviewed on the
1:15:45
movie Guys and both really enjoyed and both gonna let out of Eternal Sunshine of
1:15:50
the Spotless Mine it's a fantastic movie as well. And you know there's of
1:15:55
course movies like Bruce or Mighty La Liar. Yeah. Look, he's got
1:15:58
a lot of good stuff to his credit. I mean, do we really
1:16:00
hear much from him in these days? I mean, he still makes movies.
1:16:02
I guess it still does stuff, but I think he doesn't quit Hollywood.
1:16:06
Basically he hates he hates Hollywood. He hates everything about it. As
1:16:10
a painter, now he does a lot of painting. Apparently artwork is really
1:16:14
up my alley. But no, for that that period there, I mean
1:16:16
he was just absolutely slaying it. And yeah, he was such a pleasure
1:16:20
to watch, I mean, such a such a joy to watch one of
1:16:24
my one of the most inspirational quotes I've ever heard was from him. He
1:16:27
was doing like a speech up I think like maybe the university he went to
1:16:29
or something, and he was talking about how his father was like an accountant
1:16:32
and he hated it, you know, and then one day he just and
1:16:35
then you know, he did it for years and years and years and though
1:16:38
he hated it, and one day he lost his job. And he goes,
1:16:41
in that moment, I realized, after twenty years or whatever, you
1:16:44
know, just lost his job. That was it. And He's like,
1:16:45
in that moment, I realized, And it's what sort of inspired me to
1:16:47
sort of do this podcast. I think quit my job. He was like,
1:16:49
you can fail doing what you don't love, so he may as well
1:16:53
take a chance doing what you do love. You know, makes a lot
1:16:57
of sense. Well, well said Jim, and well well followed Dando.
1:17:00
Yes, all right. Next question here comes from Talia, and it gets
1:17:03
She says, what is your opinion over the fact that successes of dinosaurs are
1:17:06
actually chickens and other birds you look at like crows and magpies. You're like,
1:17:11
you guys, are the t rex of like the Australian Wilock. What
1:17:15
should they walk around? It's like they know they're the king. I've seen
1:17:18
I've seen a fucking crow just pick up a sparrow and just fly off with
1:17:21
it, you know. Oh yeah, that's funny. A good friend of
1:17:26
mine she had a stage where, you know, she was putting minced out
1:17:30
for these for these magpies and crows and they'd come and get it and they
1:17:32
were like very friendly and they might need to do that. Yeah. Yeah,
1:17:35
they bring like a little rock back or something. It's like, you
1:17:38
know, I'm not I'm not a free loader here you go to this payment
1:17:41
all that kind of stuff, Like, oh, these guys have clearly got
1:17:44
a little bit going on upstairs. Intend to think, Oh they're cute and
1:17:46
they're you know, they've got their communities and all that. One day I
1:17:49
walked on my back door and they were like two crows that had either killed
1:17:54
or found this other dead bird and they were just like dissecting it with their
1:17:57
beaks and just ripping in it. Even like oh my god. It's like
1:18:01
it was like, you know, walking on your parents having sex or something.
1:18:08
Yeah. Look, I don't disagree with the whole yeah thing. About
1:18:13
birds and chickens and all that kind of stuff being evolved from evolved from dinosaurs.
1:18:17
I love the idea that you know, there are some species that have
1:18:20
just evolved. They don't need to evolve anymore. They're just perfect as there.
1:18:25
They've sort of reached. Like it's like crocodiles or sharks. It's like,
1:18:30
no, we don't need to, you know, improve anymore. We
1:18:33
can do. We're we're apexed it. We've polly apexed. It's funny when
1:18:41
you talk about dinosaurs and the evolution been chickens because you think of Veloso rapp
1:18:45
is. Apparently Veloso rap has actually had feathers like the size of chickens.
1:18:47
Right, they're like big chickens. I've heard that. Yeah, that's why
1:18:49
people say that Steven Spielberg as great as he as great as his films were,
1:18:53
just the park bringing interest back to dinosaurs and things like that. They're
1:18:57
completely shaped kids, mind, it's what dinosaurs actually were, Like Doloposaurus,
1:19:01
right, didn't have the frills. He added that for the visual effect for
1:19:03
the movie. But like some things were Delosaurus. Now they think of the
1:19:09
fucking frill neck lizard. Right, they didn't have that floss raptors didn't look
1:19:15
like that at all. You know, it's just big Steve. You if
1:19:25
you heard our latest going down the South like you're not, we're talking about
1:19:28
there. All right, we'll do We'll do one more question. Okay,
1:19:30
Adam Warhouse. So museums, what's the course artifactor presentational collection you've ever seen?
1:19:34
I will never forget walking into the museum in I believe it was New
1:19:38
York and seeing the skeleton of the t rex. I was like, oh,
1:19:43
yeah, that's actually that's a fucking dinosaur. But that's like, that's
1:19:46
actually a real dinosaur. I got to knock you out. Yeah, it
1:19:50
was crazy. I was just like wow, like, no, these things
1:19:54
did exist and they were that big. Yeah. Please your mind when you
1:19:59
when you're when you see them the bones, it's like wait a minute.
1:20:01
No, Whilst you know, we've got toys of them and we watched them
1:20:04
movies and things like that, when you see the bones, it is like,
1:20:08
wait a minute, these things actually existed and they ran this planet.
1:20:12
You know. Yeah, I don't know. The jury is still out on
1:20:15
that one day. And though I think they're you know, I think God
1:20:18
might have put some dinosaur bones there just to mess with it. Ranking the
1:20:25
order is from Ian Acidly Ranking the order in which your favorite song of the
1:20:27
following Arctic Monkeys, the Monkeys, gorillas, ranking the order, and which
1:20:30
is your favorite? Okay, so your three? So how do you have
1:20:33
Arctic Monkeys, the monkeys and gorillas and what was your favorite song? I
1:20:40
get the feeling Arctic Monkeys. I mean I know of them, and i'd
1:20:44
probably know some of their songs if you if you've played them for me right
1:20:46
now. But at the same time, I think they might have been around
1:20:48
in the period where I was like, music's not really for me anymore,
1:20:54
or I would have trouble. Like anyone who's a fan of Arctic Monkeys is
1:20:58
probably going to be like, oh my god, guy, you suck,
1:21:00
because I mean, like I'm like acting monkeys they are they like imagine dragons.
1:21:03
I mixed up the Hives and the Strokes, for instance. So it's
1:21:06
that kind of thing. So I'm gonna I'm gonna take you out of your
1:21:09
questioning love the latest the New Arctic Monkeys music like that that they're When they
1:21:14
first came out, they were like you've heard that. I bet you look
1:21:15
good on the dance floor. You know that song. Oh, very British
1:21:19
pop rock kind of sort of kind of style, right, but now they've
1:21:24
evolved into more of like a band ead sea at a fucking jazz jazz hall,
1:21:28
you know what I mean. Like that's like a Swoons. Like they're
1:21:30
completely different. And I remember I listened to I watched them live. I'm
1:21:33
like, guy, would did this? I just sending this video like I
1:21:35
feel like you'd really like I feel like you'd really like the Actic Monkeys,
1:21:39
like the Monkeys after we're done here. So look, I'll send you some
1:21:44
songs because their last album, they're released like last year. I wasn't a
1:21:46
fan. I have to They're one of those bands where every album is completely
1:21:50
different from the previous one, Right, the first two were very similar,
1:21:53
then they evolve each one and you listen to it and it's because it's not
1:21:57
what you are used to. You're like, oh, this is crap,
1:22:00
and then when you listen to it after a while, you're like, oh,
1:22:01
no, this is actually pretty good. So I'll send you a couple
1:22:03
of songs that I think are worth listening to, and we'll see. We'll
1:22:06
get you your thoughts on the next episode. Of four figure discus. I
1:22:10
only appreciate that, but my apologies to Winn Astley. Okay Rick Astley,
1:22:13
but yeah, first, the monkeys are gorillas, a big gorillas for you,
1:22:16
right, Oh, it's absolutely gorillas. Gorillas is is topping that list.
1:22:20
And my favorite song of there's is Dare. I love Dare? Okay,
1:22:25
although what's the one that has my mend Bruce Willis and the film clip?
1:22:30
But that was kind of good. I just know that that's Dare,
1:22:34
isn't all? Oh no, that might be something gorillas stylo Is it the
1:22:40
one? Yeah? Yeah, stylo. Yeah, there you go, stylo.
1:22:44
Uh and yeah, the Monkeys come second, and I would say day
1:22:47
Dream Believer with them a little over that so maybe last train to Clarksville.
1:22:50
Okay, Now they have the song I was singing, by the way,
1:22:53
is feel good inc. That's the song that I was sinking before. That's
1:22:55
right also good? Yes, yeah, that one a song for some reason
1:23:00
I'm really did get. The Arctic Monkeys is from like two albums ago,
1:23:01
like long a decade ago and I reckon When it came out, it's called
1:23:04
number one Party Anthem. I like send it to my sister yesterday. I'm
1:23:08
like, it was what I've done recently is for like the last five years,
1:23:12
I said to Nicola, all have been listening to his fucking kids songs,
1:23:15
you know, Spidy songs and the Wiggles and shit, And I said,
1:23:17
I want to start listening to my music again. So now in the
1:23:20
car, I just put on my music and I'm going back and read listening
1:23:24
to all the bands that I used to like love when I was like,
1:23:26
you know these that shape you between fifteen and say twenty one twenty two,
1:23:29
all these bands that I really liked, like Arctic Monkeys and Hives you brought
1:23:32
up the Highs before and things like that, And I'm like, it's bringing
1:23:34
back all these like feelings and emotions. I'm like, i feel like I'm
1:23:38
coming alive again. I'm like, oh, this is who I am.
1:23:43
It's it's the great and magical thing about music is the is the the the
1:23:46
instant time machine. Yeah, from the youth as well. I'm reborn.
1:23:51
I was like, oh, I'm becoming me again. I'm listening to my
1:23:54
music and yeah, like I remember, yeah, that's great last night and
1:23:57
they can just stay in the car. I put the Arctic Monkeys album one.
1:24:00
It's like randomized John Shuffle and Spotify and number one party Anthem came on
1:24:04
and I was waiting for like Nicola, she was like going into the post
1:24:08
office. I'm sitting there and I instantly just closed my eyes and smartest to
1:24:11
start swaying, and I'm like, it's it's like, I'm just I know,
1:24:15
I've become me again. I was just like, it's amazing, how
1:24:16
like the music and just can immediately just transports you to another world, you
1:24:20
know, yeah, oh god, yeah, absolutely, oh yeah. I
1:24:24
mean it just makes vivid and crystal clear the memories of that particular time when
1:24:31
you were hearing it. Yeah, oh god, Yeah, all right,
1:24:34
good question, thanks for Ian Astley. And final one he Andy Gangla.
1:24:38
If you have to pick a famous monkey or ape to be a relative,
1:24:41
who would you choose. I'd go Donkey Kong as as my uncle. He
1:24:44
still got it, he still got it, still got it. There was
1:24:49
a cartoon in the seventies when I was going up called the Great Grape Ape.
1:24:54
Oh yeah, yeah, fifty feet high and apparently a hell of a
1:24:59
guy. So yeah, I'm going to choose him. Yeah apparently. So
1:25:02
the jury still out on that one. What about the monkey from Rampage to
1:25:05
the video game, Like, he'd be a cool little big brother to have.
1:25:09
He'd defend you absolutely, And no, what fuck if you if you
1:25:12
had Rampage, they took my milk? Money comes out? Fucks everybody up.
1:25:18
Who would be the most embarrassing ape relative to have rand the guy that
1:25:23
would always ruin Christmas? Oh? Do you know that movie Nope? No
1:25:30
by Jordan Peel who did get Out. I don't don't know John Peele is,
1:25:34
I don't know the movie Nope though, okay, Nopes his latest one,
1:25:38
Okay, the last one he did was Usked that I saw. Yeah,
1:25:42
yeah, Well Nope came out I think last year or the year before,
1:25:44
but it's on Netflix now. Didn't respond to a couple of it.
1:25:48
Didn't respond to that as Nope anyway continues, that's such a writer. There
1:25:57
is a bit, well, some some pivotal stuff in Nope involves a chimp
1:26:02
that does some very bad things. So yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna say,
1:26:09
Gordy the chimp from Nope, I'm not the one you won around.
1:26:12
I'm thinking the monkey that became a viral sensation when the Internet first came around
1:26:15
that sniffed its own ars and fell up the bait the branch. Remember that
1:26:16
guy, Oh all the monkey the peas in its own man. Yes,
1:26:23
yes, it's one of those guys. Will be will be the most I
1:26:25
ever told you that. You told me about it numerous times. That's true
1:26:30
off air, and now everybody knows it's not true. It never happened.
1:26:38
A good mate of mine, who was a music review reviewed Jet's first album,
1:26:42
not Jet Your Lovely Dog, but Jet the Stream. He did not
1:26:45
like it, and instead of writing anything, he just put a clip of
1:26:49
a monkey pizzing in its own mouth. Really didn't like. I think it
1:26:54
got the most. I got the most kids that I was like a teenager.
1:26:57
But so that came out in two thousand and three, I want to
1:26:59
say so I would have been how old fifteen ishif fourteen fifteen? So it
1:27:03
was right in my wheelhouse. It was huge for our our demo. Oh
1:27:09
yeah, look, I won't say I'm a fan, but I mean I
1:27:13
can listen to it and go like Girl is one of the most iconic songs
1:27:17
of that era. They're pretty good pop songs. I mean in terms of
1:27:20
like dn't dn't dn't didn't. Yeah, I mean, you're gonna sort of
1:27:25
like you're gonna shake your head. The fucking there's no wonder that Jobs use
1:27:28
it for the iPod, you know what I mean? Oh yeah, so
1:27:30
you know, hopefully Nick Chester and the best of the jet Boy and the
1:27:34
rest of the jet Boys of you know, cashing quite nicely. And you
1:27:38
know I can now you know, I sit on a beachourne in twenty percent.
1:27:41
I wonder how much Jet were paid for the use of that song in
1:27:45
the original iPod ad because who would who was to know that the iPod was
1:27:47
going to be the success that it became, right, you know, but
1:27:50
you've just we've all seen the Jobs film. We've let you know that the
1:27:54
iPod Apple were nearly fucked. You know, the iPods saved them. So
1:27:59
I won't if they will pay like a one if feet or whether they had
1:28:01
like residuals like because you would have hoped a guy that you would have gone
1:28:04
residuals, But how would you have known that you would have gone, Well,
1:28:06
it gonna be paid played for years. I want my money. I
1:28:10
guess maybe for commercials it's always residuals forever, is it? I don't know.
1:28:14
I don't know either. I mean it's something to look into, because
1:28:16
you know, I'm our acting and writing friends in the US are currently walking
1:28:20
around with their pickets own saying, yeah, still give us, give us
1:28:24
some more money, and then after that, give us some more money.
1:28:26
That's that's been gone for like three months now, right, if not more,
1:28:29
that's been going on a while. It really has how much Jet paid
1:28:32
for iPod commercial? Let's see if it's got anything on here? Look?
1:28:39
Uh no, that is a picture of the guy from Deat saying none of
1:28:45
all business anyway? All right? That is our review of the Monkey Suit.
1:28:49
The next episode of four Fingered Discount. What does the final episode let's
1:28:53
