In The Name Of The Grandfather (S20E14)

<v Speaker 1>Oh, I've got lots of time for that. No, no
<v Speaker 1>one comes into me bar anymore.
<v Speaker 2>It's been years since I've saw so much as a pint.
<v Speaker 1>Do you mean paint? It's been so long I've forgotten
<v Speaker 1>how to say it's it's a joke. Even called this
<v Speaker 1>place a pube four finger.
<v Speaker 3>Discount ude, Welcome to fore finger Discount where I was
<v Speaker 3>gonna attend a Norlish accent then, but I didn't.
<v Speaker 4>It's in the name of the grandfather of a reviewing today.
<v Speaker 1>I'm Dando and I'm going, yeah, coming to you. Well,
<v Speaker 1>my grandmother was a Delaney so and and well, I
<v Speaker 1>won't skip ahead, that's for you to do. But I
<v Speaker 1>do have a story about kissing the blinding Star, which
<v Speaker 1>happens in this episode.
<v Speaker 4>You actually kissed the bonny side or someone's buttocks.
<v Speaker 1>Look, it was dark, I'd had a couple of whiskeys.
<v Speaker 1>Anything happens, you know, what happens in Ireland stays in Ireland. No, No,
<v Speaker 1>I actually kissed legitimate Blanney Stone. But there's more to
<v Speaker 1>that story. But you're going to have to stick around,
<v Speaker 1>stay do the break we commercials already, that's right. We
<v Speaker 1>got to get the lines on here.
<v Speaker 4>Well, we've got a review recently where someone goes, be
<v Speaker 4>good if there wasn't so many commercials, and I was like,
<v Speaker 4>the good.
<v Speaker 1>Of your supp.
<v Speaker 4>And you never heard from them again. No, no, no, no,
<v Speaker 4>we do support. We do appreciate everyone. I've just noticed
<v Speaker 4>your notes are all wet. Oh no, that is correct.
<v Speaker 4>That happened by being.
<v Speaker 1>Crying, which in this episode that's true when irish eyes
<v Speaker 1>are crying, that's correct. This is one of the problems
<v Speaker 1>about being an old man who uses pen and paper
<v Speaker 1>to take his notes.
<v Speaker 4>I can't believe you still do that. I mean, it
<v Speaker 4>makes me smile. But and the fact that you've got
<v Speaker 4>your highlight sections and you've got your little highlights. A
<v Speaker 4>certain culs moments is green, big is trivia.
<v Speaker 1>That's correct. These were worth something one day.
<v Speaker 4>You know, when we finally take off here at four
<v Speaker 4>finger discount.
<v Speaker 1>I like to think we have taken off. You know,
<v Speaker 1>we haven't quite reached yet cruising altitude.
<v Speaker 4>We're still what's it called when you're banking, when you're
<v Speaker 4>just sort of maybe waiting for your turn. I think
<v Speaker 4>we're like, get all the other since this podcast out
<v Speaker 4>of the way first, so we can finally land.
<v Speaker 1>I think we're like Tom Hanks is Sully. I think
<v Speaker 1>we're about to crash into the No, no, not the case.
<v Speaker 1>We're flying high here at forming a discount. But yes,
<v Speaker 1>this is Dander was looking at my.
<v Speaker 4>Hand made another movie reference without realizing it. Oh yeah, absolutely, Okay,
<v Speaker 4>I don't know whether you realize it.
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, I always know you like to think I'm
<v Speaker 1>winging it like Sully. But no, no, no, no, everything's deliberate.
<v Speaker 1>But no, I do have handwritten notes. Here. As I
<v Speaker 1>was driving over in the car, I put my water
<v Speaker 1>bottle down on my notebook and it had a little
<v Speaker 1>bit of a leak, as or requiress one little drop
<v Speaker 1>like old men will have happen. So yes, at least
<v Speaker 1>one of my trivia questions is like I think the
<v Speaker 1>answer is this, But yeah, I've still got all my
<v Speaker 1>old handwritten notes from the many episodes that we've done.
<v Speaker 1>One of these days we may auction it, so you'll
<v Speaker 1>be a lot of it's going to be like a
<v Speaker 1>handwritten a buck sold for a bag. I hate Dandal
<v Speaker 1>all this handwritten stuff and fuck this guy. No, no
<v Speaker 1>it's not true, it wouldn't. But yeah, I've got my
<v Speaker 1>handwritten notes we were talking about the episode the.
<v Speaker 4>Blaney Stone, and what I want to say is this,
<v Speaker 4>this episode is about Grandpa and Homer and doing something
<v Speaker 4>nice with Grandpa. But it's Mother's Days upon us this
<v Speaker 4>Sunday as we record this episode. Is so, if you
<v Speaker 4>are a patron of ours, you hope you have a
<v Speaker 4>fantastic Mother's Day, your grandmother or just a mother figure.
<v Speaker 1>In someone's life. You know, we have anotherfucker.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah either way. Yeah, I mean that's usually Father's Day, but.
<v Speaker 1>Mild Ben's Day.
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, so all the mother figures in the world
<v Speaker 4>out there. Not to be a particular mother. You can
<v Speaker 4>just be a mother figure just special people.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. So if you've got any maternal instincts at all,
<v Speaker 1>God bless you.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you might just be the mother of a little kitten.
<v Speaker 4>I'm the father of of them. Now, well, oh, could
<v Speaker 4>you call or she's six months old?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, could you call Nala a kitten? Or she's now
<v Speaker 1>called Daphne. He's changing. This cat's gonna have a complex,
<v Speaker 1>all right. So it's Daphne. Yeah, And the two kittens
<v Speaker 1>are Cocoa and Crack Crashing.
<v Speaker 4>Coco Yeah, named up the crash bandicoot Ali. It's the
<v Speaker 4>first or Elliott loves Sonic and he found the PlayStation
<v Speaker 4>ort to play PlayStation on which game crash Bandicoot. He
<v Speaker 4>just loves crash Bandicket's played all three of them. So
<v Speaker 4>it's crushing Coco because they're actually brother and sister.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so I've heard I'm gonna I am getting a
<v Speaker 1>crash course and Crash commandicoot.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, they love shitting kittens.
<v Speaker 1>I'll give that. Oh yeah, absolutely, Well, I guess what
<v Speaker 1>doesn't happen doesn't stop when they grow up, just gets
<v Speaker 1>how much catshit? Have I cleaned up in my house,
<v Speaker 1>but there is a.
<v Speaker 4>Lot, But there's one cat, one of them, and I
<v Speaker 4>think I've worked it that it's crashed. Not only does
<v Speaker 4>his ship all the time, but he steps in it
<v Speaker 4>as he's leaving the kid litter. Oh, I'm like, dude,
<v Speaker 4>learn to step around.
<v Speaker 1>No, No, that cats a very clean animals generally, But yeah,
<v Speaker 1>they take a little. It takes a little getting used to,
<v Speaker 1>particularly if they're doing their business in litter. Yeah, he's
<v Speaker 1>getting used to it, or just changed the litter because
<v Speaker 1>in the pound, I would hope. So in the pound they.
<v Speaker 4>Use these little palettes. They almost look like chicken feet.
<v Speaker 1>Almost. It's just a little weird things.
<v Speaker 4>But we've now changed to the white, stony, classic, stereotypical kiddy.
<v Speaker 1>There is all manner of catlet. I like to use
<v Speaker 1>this line a lot, and we mentioned it recently when
<v Speaker 1>Lennon Maulton and I talked about Star Wars. Dann I
<v Speaker 1>was there too. You've taken your first step into a
<v Speaker 1>larger world that of cat. The smell of your world
<v Speaker 1>definitely a stinkier, well hairy. Well, this hair everywhere.
<v Speaker 4>I'm back him twice a day now, it's insane.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, when I first met the lovely Luise, it took
<v Speaker 1>a little while to hair everywhere. Yeah, most of it
<v Speaker 1>was mine. It took a little while for me to
<v Speaker 1>invite her over to my house because I'm like, I'm
<v Speaker 1>used to what it smells like to have a cat
<v Speaker 1>in the house. She may walk in and go, well,
<v Speaker 1>this guy's clearly a hermit, yeah and gross, and he
<v Speaker 1>blames the cat for it, and he blames a gap
<v Speaker 1>for all of this. So it took a little while.
<v Speaker 1>Luckily she still learns only been twice. She had been
<v Speaker 1>to your house twice. Well, she became a dog, you know,
<v Speaker 1>And you don't want to bring Rafi the not the
<v Speaker 1>popperin Oh Gosh, You're gonna get in trouble for that
<v Speaker 1>the Pepion.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's a song that the Wiggle see. But it's
<v Speaker 4>pop a dumb popa dumb poppa dumb, so.
<v Speaker 1>Not even the same, not really the same thing, just
<v Speaker 1>sounds the same. In the name of the Grand Yeah.
<v Speaker 4>So this is one of those Simpsons go to episodes,
<v Speaker 4>and I feel besides the England one, the more recent
<v Speaker 4>ones haven't been too bad. I think this is probably
<v Speaker 4>the best Simpsons go to episodes since Bart versus Australia,
<v Speaker 4>for reasons such as they don't rely on the guest
<v Speaker 4>stars like the English one does. Hey it's Prime Minister
<v Speaker 4>so and so. Hey it's the Queen who didn't guest star,
<v Speaker 4>but the Queen made an appearance in the episode. Hey
<v Speaker 4>it's Sir Ee McCallum. That kind of thing, right, This
<v Speaker 4>one here, it's just monuments, landmarks and just the Irish.
<v Speaker 1>Culture pretty much. Yeah, the bulk of it is Irish culture,
<v Speaker 1>long and story tradition of many many Irish things. Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>I do have a few guest stars in there, very
<v Speaker 1>of the time. Guest Shall we say that the two
<v Speaker 1>stars of the movie Once.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, two thousand and seven film this and This was
<v Speaker 4>written about to the pitch about two thousand and seven,
<v Speaker 4>but because of the writers strike at the time, it
<v Speaker 4>was delayed till two thousand and nine.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but Glenn and Marquette grew France. Yeah, but they
<v Speaker 1>are the stars of the movie Once, which is a
<v Speaker 1>really really sweet movie, a very nice musical about not
<v Speaker 1>even a musical, but a romantic drama with music. Have
<v Speaker 1>you ever seen it?
<v Speaker 4>No, I haven't, but I guess the story is taken
<v Speaker 4>the mickey out of in this episode here where I'm
<v Speaker 4>assuming he's a street musician that he falls in love
<v Speaker 4>with somebody who's already married.
<v Speaker 1>It's something along the pianos that piano. But their song
<v Speaker 1>Falling Slowly was very, very big at the time. I
<v Speaker 1>don't ever won the Oscar, but they certainly played it
<v Speaker 1>at the Oscar. Glenn Hansen. Was it an actual released song,
<v Speaker 1>I believe so. Yeah. I mean it was part of
<v Speaker 1>the part of the soundtrack of the of the movie.
<v Speaker 4>By the way, you guys can hear howling. It's the
<v Speaker 4>kittens in the bathroom saying.
<v Speaker 1>Let me out. I need this ship. I've got on
<v Speaker 1>balls the shit everywhere. But it was part of the
<v Speaker 1>soundtrack of Once, but I think it also became a
<v Speaker 1>bit of a breakout single. Glenn Hansen, the guy who's
<v Speaker 1>the male part of that duo, he was part of
<v Speaker 1>the Commitments as well. Wow, okay, that's a very nineties reference.
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, the Commitments were huge back in the
<v Speaker 1>early night. Would you say huge? I'd say it was
<v Speaker 1>pretty big if you don't know about the Commitments. Is
<v Speaker 1>a really good movie about an Irish soul band, so
<v Speaker 1>definitely worth checking out.
<v Speaker 4>It was a while there period where not this era,
<v Speaker 4>not this band here, but Human Nature that this is
<v Speaker 4>single got the Four Seasons. The Four Seasons were big.
<v Speaker 4>Everyone was seeing Four Seasons on trim. I think it
<v Speaker 4>was like early two thousands of Human Nature were doing
<v Speaker 4>all these national tours, sold and national tours, singing covers
<v Speaker 4>of the Four Seasons. Oh yeah, it's just like you
<v Speaker 4>go through waves of popularity, don't we know?
<v Speaker 1>Well? Yeah, were they sort of cashing it on the
<v Speaker 1>whole Jersey Boys success thing? Yeah?
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think maybe Jasey Boys was after. I'm not
<v Speaker 4>too sure, but I remember Humanature were just like we're
<v Speaker 4>singing in all the four seasons songs and everyone's loving it.
<v Speaker 1>We're talking about everything but Ireland, but that's all right,
<v Speaker 1>that's the nature of the show. Yeah. I enjoyed this.
<v Speaker 1>I had a lot of fun with this episode.
<v Speaker 4>Al Jane called this a love letter to Ireland, and
<v Speaker 4>it felt that way when you're watching it. This didn't
<v Speaker 4>feel like it felt they were taking to Mickey btangan
<v Speaker 4>cheek and sort of just acknowledging. I've got in my
<v Speaker 4>notes that if you're an Irish person watching this, you
<v Speaker 4>would enjoy this and you would take it in the
<v Speaker 4>right way.
<v Speaker 1>I think if you were an Irish person, maybe a
<v Speaker 1>certain type of Irish person, you would look at them
<v Speaker 1>go we've got a few runs on the board here.
<v Speaker 1>In terms of like our culture. It's certainly in terms
<v Speaker 1>of our literary culture. They pay a lot of they
<v Speaker 1>give a lot of credit to that.
<v Speaker 4>I think the culture is the big one that they
<v Speaker 4>acknowledged in this episode. Just the culture of Ireland. Yeah,
<v Speaker 4>just the vibe. Yeah, Island's lovely. One's are really nice.
<v Speaker 1>I've never been there. I've only been a couple of
<v Speaker 1>times in my life, but every time I go, like
<v Speaker 1>really quite beautifully. Everyone's friendly, well, I mean everyone was
<v Speaker 1>friendly to me. I don't know if I.
<v Speaker 4>Take the family there, because Nichola says her favorite accident
<v Speaker 4>is an Irish accent, someone will take it there. She
<v Speaker 4>may never leave.
<v Speaker 1>Well sorry, I mean when I went. The last time
<v Speaker 1>I went was maybe like twenty ten or something. I
<v Speaker 1>went on a work trip. I was single at the time,
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, this place is just full of
<v Speaker 1>redheaded colleens who liked to drink, like I may never leave.
<v Speaker 1>It was just marvelous. Yeah, but I think Alging is right,
<v Speaker 1>and this is very very affectionate and reverential, pokes a
<v Speaker 1>little bit of fun, but the stereotypes. I was supposed
<v Speaker 1>to do what it's supposed to do, but yeah, no,
<v Speaker 1>it would make you want to move. You want to
<v Speaker 1>go there because the iramer I enjoyed the episode where
<v Speaker 1>they go to India, but this story was a bit
<v Speaker 1>far fetched. But it's because I was taking the mickey
<v Speaker 1>out of Temple of Doom and that kind of thing,
<v Speaker 1>and it was just extravagant and whatnot. And mister Burne
<v Speaker 1>sends home to run a nuclear power plant India whatever
<v Speaker 1>it is. This one here, this story feels somewhat more
<v Speaker 1>grounded and believable and it's easy to relate, I think
<v Speaker 1>and Ossie watching this as well, because we have pubs
<v Speaker 1>in Australia. AM sure.
<v Speaker 4>It's hard to find a pub that feels like a
<v Speaker 4>pub now, don't you think, especially in twenty twenty five
<v Speaker 4>film More like Bars. Yeah, everything's We had the Nashier
<v Speaker 4>in Geelong, which was just your grunge, dirty down pub, right.
<v Speaker 4>It feels like nobody wants to be that anymore. They're
<v Speaker 4>all going to have this serving picking duck and.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, even if they are, they kind of gentrified them. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>I mean the one that I think of the most.
<v Speaker 1>We're talking about Gelong pubs, slash bars. This is very
<v Speaker 1>niche podcasting, but just pubs.
<v Speaker 4>And I'm sure everyone listening out there, if you're not
<v Speaker 4>in American America doesn't really do pubs per se. But
<v Speaker 4>if you're from the UK or Australia listening, or maybe
<v Speaker 4>the New Zealanders pubs as well, but I'm sure what
<v Speaker 4>they definitely do. There's definitely local pubs that when you
<v Speaker 4>were growing up with the pub and now they're no
<v Speaker 4>longer the pub. Yeah, the same building, but you go
<v Speaker 4>onside and you go this isn't what I remember anymore.
<v Speaker 1>There's a place on Paknis Street called the Petrol.
<v Speaker 4>Ah Andre Passion went, that's not what I remember.
<v Speaker 1>It used to be a pretty grungy kind of place.
<v Speaker 1>It still does have. I did laugh, though.
<v Speaker 4>We drive past and I feel like a traditional pub
<v Speaker 4>always advertises the beer, and you drive past the Petrol
<v Speaker 4>and still just has a big sign of VB B
<v Speaker 4>side of Carlton Draft. You're getting the stacks stock standard
<v Speaker 4>man beer is here. You're not getting pale Yeah, I
<v Speaker 4>was it pale ales and like kind of shit, you're
<v Speaker 4>just getting getting beer.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you're not getting an ipa. It used to be
<v Speaker 1>kind of like this pretty dawn market is where the
<v Speaker 1>old men go to drink, and they've been going there
<v Speaker 1>since the seventies. I told you.
<v Speaker 4>I walked in with Nicola one time and all the
<v Speaker 4>men just stopped talking and looked at her, and.
<v Speaker 1>I was, oh shit, some some young bucks have taken
<v Speaker 1>it over. It still looks pretty much the same, although
<v Speaker 1>I run a broom through it. But yeah, the menu
<v Speaker 1>was like, oh well, this is a better steak than
<v Speaker 1>you get before, but guess what, you're also paying.
<v Speaker 4>Triple same put but one you'd rather bring you're happy
<v Speaker 4>to bring your missus to Well.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, absolutely, I mean yeah, Lou and I went and
<v Speaker 1>took Young Felix. It feels like a pub but also
<v Speaker 1>feels like a nice pub. And yeah, they're worth their
<v Speaker 1>weight in gold. Nothing better than a good pub.
<v Speaker 4>And I just thought, call me crazy, right this, this
<v Speaker 4>episode here proves that the unified theory a fourthing discount
<v Speaker 4>is not a myth.
<v Speaker 1>Oh tell me about it. We doubled up, double up.
<v Speaker 4>Not only does this episode have a story based around
<v Speaker 4>a hot tub when we just reviewed hot Tub time
<v Speaker 4>Machine for the Movie Guide, but it's about the band
<v Speaker 4>of smoking in pubs in Ireland. We just review butt
<v Speaker 4>out on going down to South Park. This is a thing.
<v Speaker 4>It's actually a thing.
<v Speaker 1>The unifit theory of four finger discount strikes again. It does.
<v Speaker 4>Indeed, you can't deny it. Now, you just can't deny it.
<v Speaker 1>It's undeniable. It is undeniable.
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, a really really fun episode that I think, honestly,
<v Speaker 4>not just saying because I just watched it. I think
<v Speaker 4>it's the best Simpsons go to episode since Bart versus Australia.
<v Speaker 4>I think it's almost on part I'm.
<v Speaker 1>Inclined to agree with you. I mean, I think you
<v Speaker 1>and I are probably gonna like But versus Australia. It's
<v Speaker 1>going to have a soft spot for us. Of course, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>because it's Australia. Secondly, because it's I guess it's in
<v Speaker 1>Golden Era or Golden Age or Golden Age adjacent. It's
<v Speaker 1>got mage season six Oh okay, no one's smack smack dad,
<v Speaker 1>Yeah okay, and it's got a lot of sixteen to
<v Speaker 1>set and sixteen Yeah. I'll wager if you ask anyone
<v Speaker 1>outside Australa, they'd probably got stuff. They'd probably go, oh, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>there's that's a line from Bart versus Astralia. It's got
<v Speaker 1>that bit and I really enjoy that and not just
<v Speaker 1>good dollarydoes all that kind of mess. Yeah, I'm not
<v Speaker 1>sure i'd say this episode is on par with that one,
<v Speaker 1>but perspective, yeah, but certainly it is miles ahead of Yes,
<v Speaker 1>some of the other Simpsons go to said location episodes.
<v Speaker 4>I just think this one here feels like more love
<v Speaker 4>went into it than Bart Versus Australia. Butart Versus Australia
<v Speaker 4>is a really fun piss take of Australia, right where
<v Speaker 4>a lot of it doesn't really feel all that accurate.
<v Speaker 4>You no, no, no, it just it feels really over
<v Speaker 4>the top. Where a lot of this I'm not Irish, right,
<v Speaker 4>and I may be wrong, right, but from the outside
<v Speaker 4>this feels like a lot of it is on the
<v Speaker 4>money and feels like, oh, this is what Ireland is
<v Speaker 4>like to an extent where Australia was. It captures the
<v Speaker 4>Australian vibe, but it's also blown over the top.
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, it's treating Australia like.
<v Speaker 4>It's very everyone's talking like this.
<v Speaker 1>It's it's very backward and it's very like a backwater nation.
<v Speaker 4>They didn't even bother to get any Australian actors to
<v Speaker 4>do the voices a guest star. It was you know, now,
<v Speaker 4>I feel like they did the Butler's Australian. Now that
<v Speaker 4>would getting Australian Hugh Jackman would voice that kind of
<v Speaker 4>over that kind of thing. It was all Americans just
<v Speaker 4>doing the voice, which is fine, I don't care. But
<v Speaker 4>this one here they got Irish actors to guest star
<v Speaker 4>in it, but not be the guest star. They are
<v Speaker 4>playing characters such as Cole Meani his name, yeah, so
<v Speaker 4>he plays Tommy flanagan and he.
<v Speaker 1>Does indeed, Yes, we'll talk about that character and that actor.
<v Speaker 1>Ye little while, Yeah, Cole Meanie is one of your favorites.
<v Speaker 1>Is in conn Air? He is?
<v Speaker 4>Indeed, I'm trying to work. He's the guy that he's
<v Speaker 4>the cop, isn't he he's got the kick?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? Is it a corvette? I can't remember. He's a
<v Speaker 1>flying Buye. But he's on Star Trek Deep Space nine.
<v Speaker 1>I think he's actually in the aforementioned commitments.
<v Speaker 4>Okay, he's in a lot of British shows because nickols
<v Speaker 4>a lot of britt Box and there's all crime. It's
<v Speaker 4>a lot of crime shows in the UK and he's
<v Speaker 4>on a lot of them.
<v Speaker 1>Oh absolutely, Yeah. Good actor, good actor, and he does
<v Speaker 1>well in here as well. So I love me. He said.
<v Speaker 4>We're going to talk about the actor and that character soon,
<v Speaker 4>but before that, let's talk about that actor. What you
<v Speaker 4>just said, You're like, we'll talk about him in just
<v Speaker 4>a few moments. Actor, will you talk about him? Because
<v Speaker 4>I've written down notes, but they're all smashed.
<v Speaker 1>Well, I've just said that.
<v Speaker 4>Al Jean felt that Meani was just perfect with his
<v Speaker 4>voice for playing o'flannagan and I think it's nice that
<v Speaker 4>they didn't have Hankazaria, for example, or Dencass and I
<v Speaker 4>are trying to take the mickey because it wouldn't feel
<v Speaker 4>as much of a love letter if they had just
<v Speaker 4>one of the American voice actors trying to do an
<v Speaker 4>Irish accent. Just little things like that matter, and they
<v Speaker 4>matter to Irish viewers and Irish fans as well, and
<v Speaker 4>I guarantee you there probably a lot of Irish. I
<v Speaker 4>think it'd be hard for an irishman, if you're a
<v Speaker 4>Simpsons fan, to not like this, And even if you're
<v Speaker 4>not a Simpsons fan, I think it'd be hard to
<v Speaker 4>watch this and not just enjoy it because it's you
<v Speaker 4>can tell that they love Ireland and they're trying to
<v Speaker 4>pay tribute to Ireland rather than take the piss out
<v Speaker 4>of Ireland.
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, look, many many shows have and look a
<v Speaker 1>lot of culture has sort of taken the piss out
<v Speaker 1>of the Irish. Like they like to drink and they
<v Speaker 1>like to fight.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and they acknowledged the fight. I was really surprised
<v Speaker 4>how little fighting there was, because every Irish parody we've
<v Speaker 4>seen on the Simpsons so far is always usually based
<v Speaker 4>around Sam Patrick's They they're drunk, they're fighting for no reason,
<v Speaker 4>and that's the joke right here. They have the moment
<v Speaker 4>where they are at the where the immigrants are returning,
<v Speaker 4>right and they say to them your brothers, and they go,
<v Speaker 4>they shake hands and go, I said, your brothers. I
<v Speaker 4>thought we were going to start fighting.
<v Speaker 1>And they didn't know. It's just awkward.
<v Speaker 4>Yes, yeah, they they deterred from that, and I think
<v Speaker 4>maybe that might have been a deliberate choice to deter
<v Speaker 4>from going to the classic stereotypical Simpson's Irish gags.
<v Speaker 1>So because this is the love letter, as Elgeane said,
<v Speaker 1>absolutely now, I mean we just said, how what's about
<v Speaker 1>Australians like okay, yeah, you're taking the pis and we
<v Speaker 1>sort of recognize it. We'll roll with it. Yeah. Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>I think there's a real sweetness to what they do
<v Speaker 1>the name of the Grandfather because there's so much homage
<v Speaker 1>to say, look at this great literary traditionally, all these
<v Speaker 1>great writers who have come out of Ireland. And also,
<v Speaker 1>hey guess one island's kind of at the forefront of
<v Speaker 1>like modern tech or you know a lot of tech
<v Speaker 1>companies that agually sort of set up shop in Ireland,
<v Speaker 1>they're investing in them, all that kind of business. It's
<v Speaker 1>really take that Belgium, Fuck you Belgium. But yeah, it's like,
<v Speaker 1>this is a land with a great story tradition, but
<v Speaker 1>it's also looking forward. It's not sort of like just
<v Speaker 1>resting on its laurels. You know. The Simpsons like Ireland,
<v Speaker 1>but I like Ireland.
<v Speaker 4>What do you think of the hot tub story? The
<v Speaker 4>only thing that this sort of detracts from this from
<v Speaker 4>me comparing it to Bart versus Australia is Bart veversus Astralia.
<v Speaker 4>The entire episode is about Bart getting Oh I actually no,
<v Speaker 4>I'm going to take that back now that that was
<v Speaker 4>my theory was that Bart versus j wastes a lot
<v Speaker 4>of time getting there. What doesn't mate need time getting there?
<v Speaker 1>Right?
<v Speaker 4>It just gets straight into the story. But really, no,
<v Speaker 4>the inciting incident is the Tobias with the Water's been
<v Speaker 4>the other way. Yeah, this is just a hot tub.
<v Speaker 4>It's actually quite similar. Well, there was a little disconnected
<v Speaker 4>to my I mean this feels like too yeah, okay,
<v Speaker 4>because the hot tub has nothing to do with it,
<v Speaker 4>that's the difference. No, yeah, I mean it feels like
<v Speaker 4>there's a real line of demarcations like, yeah, Simpsons get
<v Speaker 4>a hot tub.
<v Speaker 1>Simpsons get a hot tub. They enjoy it for a while,
<v Speaker 1>they're neglecting Grandpa's well, they neglect Grandpa as a result.
<v Speaker 1>Feel bad, feel bad. How can we make it up
<v Speaker 1>to him. Let's get to it, Let's start a whole
<v Speaker 1>new story. Yeah, that's that's that is true. Yeah, so yeah,
<v Speaker 1>I was right, you know, right, you took it. You
<v Speaker 1>took your sweet time getting there, but you were right,
<v Speaker 1>honestly sorry about the folks. I had to sort of
<v Speaker 1>do a little wickiing and look up the nose because like,
<v Speaker 1>wait a minute, how does the hot tub connect to
<v Speaker 1>Ireland again? And it's like, oh, yeah, that's right, because
<v Speaker 1>they haven't joyed their time in the hot tub so
<v Speaker 1>much that they forget about what is it the picnic
<v Speaker 1>day at the retirement village or the Cromer castles father,
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, essentially the home is not there for the
<v Speaker 1>Wilmware race. Grandpa does a really good bit of planking,
<v Speaker 1>tries to do it himself.
<v Speaker 4>And yeah, speaking of fads, planking, that was a fad
<v Speaker 4>for a while, wasn't.
<v Speaker 1>It was certainly a thing. Yeah. The main thing I
<v Speaker 1>think of when I think of planking is me and
<v Speaker 1>the boys got together one night, Dan and Geelong had
<v Speaker 1>many many drinks, but JP and I think Will got
<v Speaker 1>the train back and they send us pictures of them
<v Speaker 1>planking on what are we doing? What's going on? We
<v Speaker 1>have found us as a society. You've got great abs.
<v Speaker 1>But still it is official.

<v Speaker 4>hot what's your experience of hot tubs? I look them
<v Speaker 4>on what Market plays on Facebook sometimes and they don't
<v Speaker 4>look that expensive, but apparently they're very expensive to run
<v Speaker 4>and operate, right. I think so, because we were looking
<v Speaker 4>at buying another house blah blah blah, and it came
<v Speaker 4>with this hot tub area at the back and it
<v Speaker 4>was all inside, and I thought that'd be fucking cool.
<v Speaker 4>And the guy's like, yeah, it costs a lot to
<v Speaker 4>run though, and I went, oh, how much he has?
<v Speaker 1>Like a lot?
<v Speaker 4>And I went, oh, okay. He goes, they're great to say.
<v Speaker 4>I cool, we've got a hot tub. But he goes,
<v Speaker 4>it's a lot of work and a lot of money.
<v Speaker 4>And I'm like, oh, okay, maybe I won't get a
<v Speaker 4>hot tub, but I like the idea of just having
<v Speaker 4>a hot tub out and the deck, just going out
<v Speaker 4>with Nengland is dropping in our little kings and whatnot.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean dipping tub. When the Lovely Louison I
<v Speaker 1>spent time in California a couple of years ago, it
<v Speaker 1>was hot tub Central.
<v Speaker 4>We stayed travel back to nineteen eighty six or whatever.
<v Speaker 1>The eighties never ended there because we stayed with Lou's
<v Speaker 1>great friend Claire, who was now my friend as well.
<v Speaker 1>Claire's lovely she called Claire Bear maybe on occasion it
<v Speaker 1>was a bare reference. Clear lives pretty nicely, but you know,
<v Speaker 1>it was just the average house in this small California
<v Speaker 1>town had a little hot tub out the back. And
<v Speaker 1>we're like, that's pretty nice. She goes, yeah, I used
<v Speaker 1>all the time, and after we popped in there was like,
<v Speaker 1>I understand why. But then we were bulls, bubbles and
<v Speaker 1>just relaxation, you know, and you're in a hot climate,
<v Speaker 1>but you're in it's still nice to get into a
<v Speaker 1>hot tub. But then we were visit friends of hers
<v Speaker 1>and it felt like everyone had a hot tub, and
<v Speaker 1>you know, at the end of the evening was like, hey,
<v Speaker 1>we're all getting in the hot tub. Get your clothes off,
<v Speaker 1>ladies and gentlemen, well, me going to hit home. It
<v Speaker 1>was amazing at Swingers, but it was amazing how many
<v Speaker 1>people actually had hot tubs and used them and made
<v Speaker 1>them like not central to their lives.
<v Speaker 4>But part of the end of the day routine.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Probably, you know one wouldn't you that once or
<v Speaker 1>twice a week You're like, it's the right climate for it. Oh, certainly. Yeah.
<v Speaker 4>One of my favorite memories of the kids is the
<v Speaker 4>first time they jumped in. It wasn't a hot tub,
<v Speaker 4>but it was a bath that had jets and whatnot right,
<v Speaker 4>and them going, what are these holes? It's pretty much
<v Speaker 4>similar to this, And I said, what will happen? I
<v Speaker 4>turned it on? At first, I sort of went, oh,
<v Speaker 4>what's this? And then they went and the little things? Mate,
<v Speaker 4>it's seeing seeing your kids enjoy the little things like
<v Speaker 4>the clouds in the sky and bubbles in a hot tub,
<v Speaker 4>and you go, I just take life for granted.
<v Speaker 1>Mate.
<v Speaker 4>Oh, you're so much beauty in this world that I
<v Speaker 4>just take for granted. You don't know that the little
<v Speaker 4>things like bubbles in a bath, You know, kids love
<v Speaker 4>it absolutely?
<v Speaker 1>Why can't Why do we stop enjoying the little things
<v Speaker 1>when we get older? Woo, get dressed? Yeah, if you
<v Speaker 1>got to keep the wolf from the door and keep
<v Speaker 1>the lights on, all that under the business and the dip,
<v Speaker 1>that's when you sink into a hot tub and just
<v Speaker 1>let your troubles eb away. Yeah, just make sure you
<v Speaker 1>keep your mustache dry well. Correct. Yeah. The other thing
<v Speaker 1>about hot tubs is, yeah, lou and I saw in
<v Speaker 1>the New Year in a hot tub. Oh nice one.
<v Speaker 1>Don't Our friends as were house sit for other people.
<v Speaker 1>We were sort of going up the ladder of wealth
<v Speaker 1>and opulence. But Chris and Madeline were looking after Andrew
<v Speaker 1>and Shelley's place. Andrew and Shelley were over. They were
<v Speaker 1>hiking or they were climbing like Kilimanjaro, or something. They
<v Speaker 1>were not some like some African they we're not some
<v Speaker 1>African track and they were sending back videos like you
<v Speaker 1>look so fucking miserable. Meanwhile, we're all in your hot
<v Speaker 1>tub seeing in the New Year. There were like six
<v Speaker 1>of us. Not a huge hot tub, but they were.
<v Speaker 1>It was just a really good way to see in
<v Speaker 1>the new year. Now, love what. I've been saying this
<v Speaker 1>for years, but you know, we'll eventually get a place together.
<v Speaker 1>But she's always sending me like real estate listings and
<v Speaker 1>she was like, this one's got a hot tub. I
<v Speaker 1>like sold. So yeah, hot tups. They're great.
<v Speaker 4>My favorite favorite moments. Now you mentioned the earlier you
<v Speaker 4>mentioned the race the Father's Son. It was a wheelbower race, right.
<v Speaker 4>I thought there were a lot of visual gags in
<v Speaker 4>this that Simpsons fans could really appreciate. This one's kind
<v Speaker 4>of meta.
<v Speaker 1>Right.
<v Speaker 4>But in that race, did you notice that Hans Mulman
<v Speaker 4>was pushing an older version of France moment because he's
<v Speaker 4>only thirty one years old. Yeah, and alcohol I was like,
<v Speaker 4>it doesn't make sense, but I'm going to run with
<v Speaker 4>it because I've seen Molmon himself in the retirement home
<v Speaker 4>and blah blah blaha with Vigdledge. His age fluctuates, but
<v Speaker 4>for the sake of a metagag, I like that.
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, for Molman and old Man, Yeah absolutely, Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>And the fact that there's not a whole lot of
<v Speaker 1>difference between the two of them. Yeah, yeah, I enjoyed
<v Speaker 1>that very much. Yeah, what else did you enjoy?
<v Speaker 4>Another visual gag was when they were closing the joint
<v Speaker 4>down right, close it down, boys, and not only did
<v Speaker 4>he spray the cigarette with the water, but he was
<v Speaker 4>sucking up as evidence as well.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's weird. I enjoyed this episode pretty much. From
<v Speaker 1>god woe. Yeah. Yeah. There weren't many times I was
<v Speaker 1>throwing peanuts at the screen or just going boo, this sucks. No,
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I was doing that at all. But
<v Speaker 1>having said that, I'm looking at my list of favor
<v Speaker 1>modes and there aren't that many. I think there was
<v Speaker 1>just a consistent quality.
<v Speaker 4>I think I appreciated the effort they're putting into just
<v Speaker 4>little thing, little vision gags and things like that.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but just consistent tone and sense of humor all
<v Speaker 1>the way through that that I kin't of appreciate it.
<v Speaker 4>I think the hasty era for these little visual gags
<v Speaker 4>like mold Man running and things like that, because it's
<v Speaker 4>not the point of the scene or anything. It's just
<v Speaker 4>a little gags that added the background. I think being digital,
<v Speaker 4>being hasty, they can add all these extra gags, and
<v Speaker 4>they normally wouldn't They They probably wanted to, but it's
<v Speaker 4>just like, do we have the time and effort to
<v Speaker 4>add this? Yeah, I do think Mama would have been
<v Speaker 4>pushing in older version of Moldman pre Hasty.
<v Speaker 1>Era, No, that makes sense, but having the opportunity to
<v Speaker 1>add texture like that is really Yeah. Yeah. A couple
<v Speaker 1>of things I enjoyed from this episode. Yes, when they
<v Speaker 1>recruit Mo into their scheme and yeah, to get shipped
<v Speaker 1>over or whatever, and then I think they're talking about
<v Speaker 1>something about oh but isn't that against the law? And
<v Speaker 1>most the law that joke quit isl Mo, And I
<v Speaker 1>like the delivery. Yeah, it's very, very fun. We've all
<v Speaker 1>been at some point in our lives. And as a
<v Speaker 1>book nerd, this was a visual gag that I liked
<v Speaker 1>because they don't really draw attention at all, and I
<v Speaker 1>had to do a little bit of deep diving to
<v Speaker 1>sort of figure out, Okay, who's this this and this,
<v Speaker 1>because I'd recognize one or maybe two of them. It's
<v Speaker 1>just a shot when during the musical number in the pub. Ye,
<v Speaker 1>you've got four people sitting at a at a table,
<v Speaker 1>and these are four famous Irish writers. One of them
<v Speaker 1>I recognized as the playwright Samuel Beckett, the author of
<v Speaker 1>Waiting to Go, Waiting for Waiting for Go, Wait, Waiting
<v Speaker 1>for It to learn how to act him? All right,
<v Speaker 1>yeah he went there, Ze. We're being called Bill and
<v Speaker 1>Marty today, terrible. One of them is Samuel Beckett, the
<v Speaker 1>playwright of Waiting for Gotdo currently. I don't know if
<v Speaker 1>it's on Broadway, but Counter Reaves and Alex Winter in it. Oh,
<v Speaker 1>is that their play? Aka? Yeah, I call that right.
<v Speaker 1>I know that's pretty wild. Bill and Ted's existential.
<v Speaker 4>Events, Odin Kirk just fucking hanging out ross got It's
<v Speaker 4>almost like nows be the right time to go to Broadway.
<v Speaker 1>To a man, Zach who was doing all of it
<v Speaker 1>hopefully saved up his pennies because you hear about some
<v Speaker 1>of the costs of these tickets to these things, and
<v Speaker 1>there's monstrous tickets just cost more.
<v Speaker 4>Now.
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, Denzel Washington and Jake gilln Hall are doing
<v Speaker 1>a Fellow on Broadway? What right now? Yeah, apparently it's
<v Speaker 1>not a very good production. They're both good in it,
<v Speaker 1>but apparently the production is not there.
<v Speaker 4>They're just giving up on Hollywood. They act it is
<v Speaker 4>like funk Hollywood. Let's just go to do wrong.
<v Speaker 1>Apparently like a good seat or maybe even a semi
<v Speaker 1>average seat to like a performance of a Feller, it's
<v Speaker 1>something like nine hundred bucks for one ticket US.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's nuts, you know, front row seats experienced to
<v Speaker 4>w WE. Now he's now forty thousand dollars what yep
<v Speaker 4>for what?
<v Speaker 1>Yep?
<v Speaker 4>Summer Slam this year for the VIP packages was forty
<v Speaker 4>thousand dollars a ticket.
<v Speaker 1>Name a prominent wrestler form does does Roman Rain? Still?
<v Speaker 1>He's does Roman Raine? Does? He does? He wring out
<v Speaker 1>his sweating shops into a glass that you then get
<v Speaker 1>to drink that.
<v Speaker 4>Johnson is not evern there, can't see we promise is here?
<v Speaker 1>Can't see even I got that about Johnson? Do you
<v Speaker 1>see that? John Senners in this upcoming movie for I
<v Speaker 1>think it's Amazon, he's like he's like the president, okay,
<v Speaker 1>And Idris Elbert is the UK Prime Minister and their
<v Speaker 1>playing gets hijacked and they've got to join forces. Like
<v Speaker 1>that's pretty cool, and they both like that sounds like
<v Speaker 1>they're both like yoked and know how to fight.
<v Speaker 4>That sounds like nineteen ninety seven actions. And yeah, we're
<v Speaker 4>just said we've been a Midish Elba.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and John Cena's just being him doing that thing
<v Speaker 1>where he's like, well, I'm smarter than tougher than everybody else,
<v Speaker 1>even though I'm kind of a dufers. Yeah, it looks
<v Speaker 1>looks kind of fun. I can't believe you've got to
<v Speaker 1>pay forty K for a front row seat sold out,
<v Speaker 1>So that's nuts sold out, insane beginning back. Yeah, and
<v Speaker 1>oh and you know things costs appearing on Broadway in
<v Speaker 1>good Night Clooney as well. Yeah, wow, it's very funny
<v Speaker 1>because he is playing this character who's a little younger
<v Speaker 1>than him, and so he's had to dye his hair
<v Speaker 1>black and you see him like doing interviews are Cloney Well, no,
<v Speaker 1>Clooney had Yeah, yeah, he's had that for a very
<v Speaker 1>long time. And now he's just got like this Grecian
<v Speaker 1>formula for men and he just looks ridiculous. I've never
<v Speaker 1>heard it called Sultan Pepper hair. I like that. Ive
<v Speaker 1>got the mister Sheffield. That's a good way putting it.
<v Speaker 1>How do we get to talking about this? We were
<v Speaker 1>talking and Rewinded Blaze. People are the writers, Oh yeah,
<v Speaker 1>Samuel Beckett or the playwright of Waiting for Gotto. But
<v Speaker 1>you've also got I think in order from left to right. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>even if it's not in order, it doesn't matter. But
<v Speaker 1>you're George Bernard Shaw, yeah, James Joyce and Oscar Wilde.
<v Speaker 1>But James Joyce gets mentioned later on. He does, indeed, Yes,
<v Speaker 1>author of you Lysses Finnegan's Wake, and George Bernard Shaw
<v Speaker 1>is the writer of Pygmalion, you might know it better
<v Speaker 1>as My Fair Lady, and Oscar Wilde and Oscar Wilde
<v Speaker 1>is Oscar wild Is. You know the importance of being
<v Speaker 1>Ernest and also the sequel, the importance of being Ernest
<v Speaker 1>goes to camp.
<v Speaker 4>I'm glad you did that research because you watch that
<v Speaker 4>does get right. You watched that scene and as you said,
<v Speaker 4>you know there must be somebody.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, it holds on just a little bit.
<v Speaker 4>Longer, say they don't say, Hey, it's somebody's go You
<v Speaker 4>know that's something And I appreciate that they're doing. They're
<v Speaker 4>throwing and making all his effort for people who if
<v Speaker 4>you want to make the effort and if that's what
<v Speaker 4>classic Simpsons used to do, as we say.
<v Speaker 1>Correct, because it felt for a while and we talked
<v Speaker 1>about this a bit that they'll be like, you got
<v Speaker 1>this gag right, or you got this reference if you're
<v Speaker 1>wearing a name tag and we or you know, hey,
<v Speaker 1>aren't you so and so and such and such it's
<v Speaker 1>Betney Spears. Yeah. I mean, but even with gags that
<v Speaker 1>didn't involve prominent people or whatever, Yeah, it'll be kind
<v Speaker 1>of like, we need to explain this gag to you.
<v Speaker 1>It's like, give us a little have a little faith
<v Speaker 1>in us. Yeah. Yeah. So that was something that I
<v Speaker 1>really dug and it's I will touch on here.
<v Speaker 4>So I mentioned one of my favorite moments was the
<v Speaker 4>smoke in the bag right in the evidence bag. I
<v Speaker 4>don't think it needed to have them holding up because
<v Speaker 4>he's sucking it putting in an evidence bag. You can
<v Speaker 4>see what he's doing. But then it ends with him
<v Speaker 4>holding up to the camera and see smoke. And it
<v Speaker 4>was like, okay, so I got when he was sucking
<v Speaker 4>it up. You didn't have to do that, but I'm
<v Speaker 4>okay with it. It's not dumbing it down too much,
<v Speaker 4>but you know, I guess you have to sometimes dumb
<v Speaker 4>it down a bit. As you said last week, we've
<v Speaker 4>got to make you gone for the younger viewers as well.
<v Speaker 1>Sure, next question, you there eating the paste, but trivia? Hut?
<v Speaker 1>What do you got from me?
<v Speaker 4>Oh?
<v Speaker 1>Okay? Then the Simpsons go to an expo at the
<v Speaker 1>very start of the episode. Yes, there is a sign
<v Speaker 1>saying that you can turn your rec room into a what.
<v Speaker 4>You can turn your rec room into? I do have
<v Speaker 4>my Notees's not gonna bother go what is it? It's
<v Speaker 4>a basement basically, that's right, Yes, because guess.
<v Speaker 1>What you would normally turn your basement into a regular Okay,
<v Speaker 1>that's the joke.
<v Speaker 4>There's actually a lot of good sign gigs this episode. Yeah, yeah,
<v Speaker 4>and we all love a good sign gag.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.
<v Speaker 4>My first question for you is what other name of
<v Speaker 4>skinners hose nozzles?
<v Speaker 1>Oh god, damn it, as you often say, Yeah, when
<v Speaker 1>I was watching them like this could probably be a
<v Speaker 1>trivia question, but it's too much information and I've already started.
<v Speaker 1>I've got to rewind, forget it.
<v Speaker 4>Would you like to know more? I would like to
<v Speaker 4>know it is the Sprinkle King slash Queen Sprinkle Queens
<v Speaker 4>Sprinkle King.
<v Speaker 1>As the plane is landing in Ireland, Islanders referred to
<v Speaker 1>my many names. Can you name at least three of them?
<v Speaker 4>No?
<v Speaker 1>I didn't listen to any of them. Okay, see this is
<v Speaker 1>we're just talking about before there's too much work.
<v Speaker 4>It's always like the universe is going all right. These
<v Speaker 4>guys used to copy each other all the time. Now
<v Speaker 4>we're going to make sure they do ship that the
<v Speaker 4>other person was too lazy to do. Enlightened me, guy Davis.
<v Speaker 1>It's like you know me all my life. Here are
<v Speaker 1>all of them. The Emerald Isle, Potato Bill, East Boston,
<v Speaker 1>Freckle Bog, the Land of Poetry, and the Land of
<v Speaker 1>Bad Poetry. The land of bog.
<v Speaker 4>Bog is such a freak bog? Yes, such a disgusting word.
<v Speaker 1>Oh it really is? We for a bog? Well, yes,
<v Speaker 1>we associate it with yes, taking a big pooh.
<v Speaker 4>I also associated with Labyrinth. Part of Labyrinth that have
<v Speaker 4>the bog of eternal stench. So if you're a kid
<v Speaker 4>going up and you like Labyrinth Bog, I either think
<v Speaker 4>of taking a bug or the bog of a turn.
<v Speaker 1>So it's a bog just basically a big body of
<v Speaker 1>like stagnant water.
<v Speaker 4>It's just sticky, gwey ship. Yeah, the bog is it's
<v Speaker 4>just it's in the movie. It's just water that's just
<v Speaker 4>been sitting there, like to cross over a little bridge
<v Speaker 4>and it's just water. It's just like the gross, slimy.
<v Speaker 1>Kind of like a swamp, but swamps. That's a swamp.
<v Speaker 1>Basically swamp sounds cool. It does. Yeah, it's like swampy water.
<v Speaker 1>Though you don't want to fall in the water. No
<v Speaker 1>you don't, you know, I mean you don't want to
<v Speaker 1>go to the swamp. But I mean the comic book
<v Speaker 1>character swamp thing sounds kind of cool. It looks cool,
<v Speaker 1>a little mys serious bog thing. I would not buy
<v Speaker 1>that comic.
<v Speaker 4>But this a swamp thing looks like he's been in
<v Speaker 4>a bog.
<v Speaker 1>You know. It's that's what bog is. Yeah. I love
<v Speaker 1>how Marvel and DC, the two big comic book companies,
<v Speaker 1>they'll have like dueling characters, and you know, DC come
<v Speaker 1>up with swamp Thing, great name. Marvel. Respite replied with
<v Speaker 1>man Thing, man Thing, Yeah, which had the best Well,
<v Speaker 1>my buddy Anthony, the who's a big comic book guy,
<v Speaker 1>would always make the joke about you know, they'd be
<v Speaker 1>the deluxe edition and Marvel Born I think called giant
<v Speaker 1>sized man thing. Oh so did you have a question
<v Speaker 1>for me?
<v Speaker 4>And the next one is what are the two ingredients
<v Speaker 4>of Guinness? Oh, it's one of those bogs bog water. Yeah, yeah,
<v Speaker 4>it's the other one, like chocolate. Yeah, chocolate, that's right, Yeah,
<v Speaker 4>fifty to fifty.
<v Speaker 1>You're like Guinness.
<v Speaker 4>I drank it. I believe it's what I drank when
<v Speaker 4>I went to the Lord of the Rings tavern. I
<v Speaker 4>think it was kind of stout or something.
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I don't know. I didn't like it.
<v Speaker 4>No, okay, Yeah, it's just the flavor was too strong
<v Speaker 4>for me and not understand.
<v Speaker 1>I just wasn't a fan.
<v Speaker 4>I would drink it, but it's not something I would
<v Speaker 4>go out of my way to go and enjoy all
<v Speaker 4>the time.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Sorry to be that person who says I've been
<v Speaker 1>to Ireland, but hey, I've been to Ireland.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>I'd never had Guinness much before going. I had like
<v Speaker 1>maybe one or two. I was like, again, not my tempo.
<v Speaker 1>Get to Dublin, like, well, I'm in Dumbosh. Probably the Guinness.
<v Speaker 1>There's a Guinness factory right down the street and had one,
<v Speaker 1>and honestly you could take the difference like I think
<v Speaker 1>that's all I'm drinking. Now, get any fantastic Okay, it
<v Speaker 1>was really nice.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I'm sure I've had a guess specifically, I think
<v Speaker 4>I had a stout, confusing it. But it was like
<v Speaker 4>it was black whenever I drank. Yeah, and yeah thick, yeah,
<v Speaker 4>really sink bludge, sink your.
<v Speaker 1>Teeth into it. Absolutely, but yeah, well, a good Guinness
<v Speaker 1>is like hard to beat. My next question for you, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>and this is one that got smudged, so sorry, folks.
<v Speaker 1>What is the horse race that Tom O'Flanagan is watching
<v Speaker 1>on these vhs?
<v Speaker 4>I know it's nineteen seventy nine. I don't know what
<v Speaker 4>the race is.
<v Speaker 1>It is the Galway Hurdle.
<v Speaker 4>Okay, yeah, I did. What are your thoughts on Tomy flanner.
<v Speaker 4>Let's talk about the character now. So obviously Colm did
<v Speaker 4>a really good job with the voice, not in it
<v Speaker 4>anywhere near as much as I remembered him being. I
<v Speaker 4>remember watching this one and my memory was just, oh,
<v Speaker 4>they go to this part, but I'm not really liking it, right,
<v Speaker 4>I was a lot of younger. Obviously, he's not in
<v Speaker 4>the episode all that much. It's kind of a sad character,
<v Speaker 4>isn't he.
<v Speaker 1>A little bit? Yeah, it's hard to get a handle
<v Speaker 1>on because he's a bit of a mischiev aasion in
<v Speaker 1>terms of like, now you got drunk and I sold
<v Speaker 1>your pub? Yeah, bad, Like.
<v Speaker 4>It's kind of a bad guy, but there's a little
<v Speaker 4>bit of a but he's had a hard it's not
<v Speaker 4>a hard life, but he's had a life of a
<v Speaker 4>tough few years when no one wants to he's been
<v Speaker 4>we would you say island's outgrown him or the culture's
<v Speaker 4>sort of moved him past him by a little bit.
<v Speaker 4>And he's just capitalizing like you have any good businessman should.
<v Speaker 4>If someone's like, I want to buy your probably like
<v Speaker 4>yes please, if you're.
<v Speaker 1>Willing to give me a fair price for this pub. Absolutely, yeah. No,
<v Speaker 1>it's not that deeply drawn or anything like that. There's
<v Speaker 1>not a whole lot to him. It's not that I
<v Speaker 1>think Cole mean he does a lot with a little
<v Speaker 1>because he was used on all the promos for the episode.
<v Speaker 1>I remember it was just you know, they go to
<v Speaker 1>an Irish pub, they're buying a funding you he's really
<v Speaker 1>not that well, he's the most Irish part of it, really,
<v Speaker 1>because I mean, you've got other when it comes to characters. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>I mean I suppose some of the cops are. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>they traffic in a few Irish stereotoes, but I mean, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>he's the main Oh we're in Ireland now, other than
<v Speaker 1>the visual gags and all that kind of stuff. When
<v Speaker 1>it comes to the Oirish accent or whatever. Yeah, he's
<v Speaker 1>the main one doing it. I liked him. I liked
<v Speaker 1>him finet. I mean I like the performance more than
<v Speaker 1>I like the character. Shall we say the characters there
<v Speaker 1>the serber purpose, as opposed to adding a whole lot
<v Speaker 1>of texture or depth.
<v Speaker 4>Speaking of the police, we mentioned earlier how usually the
<v Speaker 4>Irish police are dumb and they're drunk and whatnot. On
<v Speaker 4>the Simpsons. They're actually the opposite here. But they acknowledge
<v Speaker 4>that they send all the idiots to the America, and
<v Speaker 4>you made them cops. Yes, it's America idiots. Yeah, the Garter. Yeah,
<v Speaker 4>we're all very competent at their jobs. My final question
<v Speaker 4>for you is what is the dream that Grandpa has
<v Speaker 4>that Homer's thumb is covering. Oh damn, it's a landmark
<v Speaker 4>in America. Go to see a certain building. You're right,
<v Speaker 4>you're right, You're right, Schmeichler Christ Okay, thank you very much.
<v Speaker 1>By the way, I know there's a word that we're
<v Speaker 1>supposed to say out loud.
<v Speaker 4>Probably not if you think of it. If there's a
<v Speaker 4>should I should I not? It's usually okay, well yes,
<v Speaker 4>but they have it feels on saying the N word
<v Speaker 4>because the N word is usually reserved or the really
<v Speaker 4>bad N word, where as the N word as used
<v Speaker 4>and here is more like an outdated term, not necessarily
<v Speaker 4>an insult, but more at data. But Grandpa has wanted
<v Speaker 4>to you know, and feel free to yah. He has
<v Speaker 4>wanted to play for the Negro League at least twice.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Another to do, Lizy head. It's like a recurring thing,
<v Speaker 1>is that? Yeah? I did notice. Well, if twice is recurring,
<v Speaker 1>then yeah, absolutely, two problems with that, that's right. My
<v Speaker 1>last question for you is we mentioned Guinness it was
<v Speaker 1>first brood when according to the Lovely Tour gamee No
<v Speaker 1>no idea, what is it, it was first brood in
<v Speaker 1>god Terrible hand runing see the seventh I think it's
<v Speaker 1>seventeen fifty nine. Seven. If you think so, I've got
<v Speaker 1>bad handwriting. I'm also smaged old.
<v Speaker 4>Google Guiness seven and fifty nine. See it comes up,
<v Speaker 4>Guinness seventeen fifty nine?
<v Speaker 1>Was it? They're correct, Let's have a look.
<v Speaker 4>It was, yes, seventeen fifty nine, December thirty first, Just
<v Speaker 4>seventy fifty nine, thirty first of December.
<v Speaker 1>Oh I love that. Yeah, someone was Probably they were
<v Speaker 1>working hard in all years, like this is going to
<v Speaker 1>be great for New Years, and they finally perfect it,
<v Speaker 1>like we can see and we can see in the
<v Speaker 1>new year.
<v Speaker 4>Oh, Guinness is literally called, says yea. Why is Guinness
<v Speaker 4>called seventeen fifty nine.
<v Speaker 1>Because that's when it was first Brune.

<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, that's coming up. It is at the end
<v Speaker 1>of the month. Huzzah.
<v Speaker 4>Indeed, all right, so let's get into our review, shall we.
<v Speaker 4>Of In the Name of the Grandfather. So, the original
<v Speaker 4>day of the episode was March twenty second, two thousand
<v Speaker 4>and nine in America, but this was the first episode
<v Speaker 4>to ever air in the UK before America, so actually
<v Speaker 4>aired on March seventeenth, two thousand and nine, on Sky One,
<v Speaker 4>so five days prior, so the month of this episode
<v Speaker 4>or the week of this episode coming out, the three
<v Speaker 4>top films at the box office were not going to
<v Speaker 4>make a guess. I'm just going to tell you what
<v Speaker 4>they were. The number one film you've learned your lesson. Yeah,
<v Speaker 4>the numb one film at the box office was Night
<v Speaker 4>in the Museum, Battle of the Smithsonian, Night of the Museum.
<v Speaker 1>Good movies, they're fun.
<v Speaker 4>They feel like the closest thing we had to jumunji
<v Speaker 4>a bit.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so is that the second one? The third one?
<v Speaker 4>I think that my I think not Museum two was
<v Speaker 4>called Night Museum two. Okay, then let's have a look
<v Speaker 4>two thousand and nine looked it is the second installment,
<v Speaker 4>So not the Museum series. Yes, not Museum was two
<v Speaker 4>thousand and six. This was number two, Batle of SMITHSONI
<v Speaker 4>it's number three. Must have been something else.
<v Speaker 1>They've all blurring into one. I really sorry for being
<v Speaker 1>a bit of an old letch here, but I really
<v Speaker 1>remember none of the Museum because wait, there'sn't there's four?
<v Speaker 1>They all? Is the fourth one like one of.
<v Speaker 4>Those straight to TV kind of secret of the twob
<v Speaker 4>twenty fourteen, five years after the second film, Night at
<v Speaker 4>the Museum, Kumara rises again.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that sounds like made for TV or something. Let's
<v Speaker 1>have a look at isn't it not.
<v Speaker 4>Oh it's animated. Oh a Disney Plus exclusive animated one.
<v Speaker 1>There we go. Well, I mean none of the museums. Ip,
<v Speaker 1>that's too good to leave on the shelf for too long.
<v Speaker 4>I wonder it doesn't have Ben still in it.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I just remember one of them had Amy Adams
<v Speaker 1>playing Amelia Earhart, and she was wearing a very fetching
<v Speaker 1>Flyers outfit. You would remember that.
<v Speaker 4>I love how they had an animated version of the
<v Speaker 4>film and Hankazari is not in it. Voics of all time.
<v Speaker 4>It's very important to get Ricky Gervais instead of of
<v Speaker 4>Hakazaria apparently yea. But so that was the top film,
<v Speaker 4>and we had Terminated Salvation at number two, and we
<v Speaker 4>had Star Trek, Your Star Trek, the one that you liked.
<v Speaker 4>Oh yes, it's Chris Pine at number three. Now, the
<v Speaker 4>top board gag for this episode was four leaf Clovers
<v Speaker 4>are not mutant freaks, and the coush gag is the
<v Speaker 4>family members participate in a dog show. Bart wins and
<v Speaker 4>Homer attacks him as a result.
<v Speaker 1>I found that whole bit to be sort of weirdoss.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it was just killing time, I guess, yeah, weird.
<v Speaker 4>So the episode kicks off of the Home and Garden
<v Speaker 4>show at the Springfield Convention Center. Marj just tricked the
<v Speaker 4>family into going there because they wouldn't have normally gone
<v Speaker 4>by saying it is a video game expo to Bart
<v Speaker 4>is picking up trash by the freeway for Lisa, and
<v Speaker 4>she told home or something, but he wasn't listening. Fine,
<v Speaker 4>Margin says if they don't like it, though, they can
<v Speaker 4>just complain all the way home.
<v Speaker 1>That's nice.
<v Speaker 4>Compromise, absolutely, because kids complain, mate, they just they complain
<v Speaker 4>when we all complain, right, but kids, it just feels
<v Speaker 4>like lately the kids are just finding new things to
<v Speaker 4>complain about.
<v Speaker 1>It's just today. I said to him that he just
<v Speaker 1>needs ten.
<v Speaker 4>Minutes of here doing a bit of extra sort of
<v Speaker 4>research work for this episode here while we getting ready
<v Speaker 4>for school. Can you guys just be quiet for ten minutes,
<v Speaker 4>just look up to yourselves and no shit. Within like
<v Speaker 4>twenty seconds, they're arguing over who gets to hold the remote?
<v Speaker 1>What are we doing? Or you're raising the next generation? Exactly?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, kids, let's practice me me, me, me, Well, let's
<v Speaker 2>get that was good, But Lisa, you're still complaining from
<v Speaker 2>your throat, not your diaphragm.
<v Speaker 1>Iras so bud.

<v Speaker 4>she's a welcome mat that measures your weight as well.
<v Speaker 4>At homeosteps on and the warranty is avoided. I wouldn't
<v Speaker 4>like this. I don't want to weigh myself ever. I
<v Speaker 4>don't want the I don't be walking to someone's house
<v Speaker 4>and going, oh, that's how much I weighs, because you're,
<v Speaker 4>you know, good and lean.
<v Speaker 1>I just can't weigh myself. That's just that's my Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>yeah yet.
<v Speaker 4>But but then Bart's he's Skinner and he's selling hose nozzles,
<v Speaker 4>and Bart then does the classic whose play, as he
<v Speaker 4>puts it, by squeezing the hose. We've all done that
<v Speaker 4>at some point in our lives, haven't we. Someone's watering
<v Speaker 4>the gut who you were done to a Bubby or
<v Speaker 4>Margaret at some point. Yeah, regret it to this day.
<v Speaker 4>I'm more a fan of turning the tap on with
<v Speaker 4>someone's in the shower. That's more fun. But it doesn't
<v Speaker 4>work in his house anymore. Something's happened in his house
<v Speaker 4>where I used to be able to turn on the
<v Speaker 4>kitchen tap and it would screw around the shower for Nicola.
<v Speaker 4>And now I do it and she's just like I
<v Speaker 4>did the water go fun and she SHOs no. I
<v Speaker 4>was like, oh damn, but that's just the classic one
<v Speaker 4>I used to do to my sister all the time.
<v Speaker 1>Do you ever do it to your sisters in the shower?
<v Speaker 1>I probably did, yeah.
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, except one time I remember doing it. I
<v Speaker 4>think I was doing it to Nicola. And turns out
<v Speaker 4>was when he foundly were over. Her mum was in
<v Speaker 4>the shower. Here we got two showers. I had the showers.
<v Speaker 4>I'll get her and her mum was not impressed.
<v Speaker 1>I can't believe it, that man so margin here's the
<v Speaker 1>soothing sounds. But what is it? What is that soothing sound?
<v Speaker 4>Turns out it's the bubbles of hot tubs. Carl says,
<v Speaker 4>it's like getting a back rub from an orgasm, which
<v Speaker 4>sounds lovely.
<v Speaker 1>A bit of a saucy line it is.
<v Speaker 4>Indeed, Yeah, were they they pushed the boundaries about crossing
<v Speaker 4>it too far?
<v Speaker 1>I guess I suppose, though I don't know. I mean,
<v Speaker 1>you're watching this would say, Eli, I don't ask what
<v Speaker 1>an orgasm.
<v Speaker 4>Is, Like, yeah, but you know what it is. I
<v Speaker 4>don't think I get saying. But I don't think Alliot
<v Speaker 4>would watch this and go, WA's an orgasm? I think
<v Speaker 4>orgasm just sounds like a funny word. Correct, Yeah, because
<v Speaker 4>I never watched the things and went, hey, mom, what
<v Speaker 4>does this word mean?
<v Speaker 1>It's just that's just a funny word. I'm gonna I'll
<v Speaker 1>try out one of my favorite stories that has been
<v Speaker 1>used before. But I've told you the one about the
<v Speaker 1>comic book that I got from the newsstand when I
<v Speaker 1>was like seven years old. Yeah, it was the science
<v Speaker 1>fiction one and what it called that's the punchline. Okay,
<v Speaker 1>tell the story again. Tell the story. I will. It
<v Speaker 1>was the nineteen seventies kids, and you know, guy had
<v Speaker 1>just a lashback flashback. Last I'd seen Star Wars, love
<v Speaker 1>science fiction, all things science fiction. Wanted to know more
<v Speaker 1>and more about the galaxy and everything that happened in it.
<v Speaker 4>You would have been about eight nine, Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, probably eight eight or nine years old. I
<v Speaker 1>used to go to a World of Sport on a
<v Speaker 1>Sunday with my dad, but we would TV show, TV
<v Speaker 1>show yeah, yes, his dad was on the show that. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>that was every Sunday talk about all things sport. People
<v Speaker 1>outside a show like they went to the World of Sport.
<v Speaker 1>Where is this this magical planet? Yeap, My dad appeared
<v Speaker 1>on a show called World of Sport. It was on
<v Speaker 1>every Sunday, done live. I would go up with him
<v Speaker 1>and hang around the studio, but we would stop off
<v Speaker 1>at this news stand beforehand where Dad had made a
<v Speaker 1>deal where you know, he'd give the guy like a sign,
<v Speaker 1>footy or something, and he got free newspapers, and of
<v Speaker 1>course I was along for the ride, and I got
<v Speaker 1>free comic books. I was like, that one looks safer.
<v Speaker 1>I want it. Ringing through a going There's a lot
<v Speaker 1>of stuff here. I don't understand. Hey, that rabbit's got
<v Speaker 1>no pants. Essentially, what did Bobby let you buy? What?
<v Speaker 1>What a magazine was it? Well, it was like a
<v Speaker 1>French sci fi for adults, so it was sci fi,
<v Speaker 1>but it was just a raunchy, raunchy sexy side.
<v Speaker 4>I thought you just you purchased like a playboy that
<v Speaker 4>had like some chicken the Princess layer outfit on the
<v Speaker 4>front cover or something that looks like sci fi.
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, bring It's like, I don't get there's some
<v Speaker 1>like slaves this going in there pretty much. I eventually
<v Speaker 1>got rid of it, but not before my my sister
<v Speaker 1>found it. Well, I was going to take it into
<v Speaker 1>this second hand because it felt embarrassed, didn't you. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>it was like I don't want this in the house anymore,
<v Speaker 1>making me feel strange. But it had an ad for
<v Speaker 1>the meat Life album Bat Out of Hell in the
<v Speaker 1>back and my sister at Winders going oh wow, what's
<v Speaker 1>this and having looked and go what is this? And
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, I don't know. It confuses me. Why am
<v Speaker 1>I telling him the story? Because the name of that
<v Speaker 1>magazine was gasm. Oh wow, foundational memory of my sounds
<v Speaker 1>like a psychic in a sci fi film. Though a
<v Speaker 1>gasm pass me this, that's just the noisy And I
<v Speaker 1>tell you him because of course, there's no just thing
<v Speaker 1>as a female, not that I'm aware of. Anyway, Let's
<v Speaker 1>move on. Sorry, but uh, Carl is getting a back
<v Speaker 1>rub from That's what it feels like. Anyway.
<v Speaker 4>Hope wants to buy the fanciest hot tubby has.
<v Speaker 1>And wise Guy was the voice here right he suggested
<v Speaker 1>this didn't look like wise guys. It's always weird by
<v Speaker 1>this point in the show when when watching older episodes,
<v Speaker 1>we can get we can give him a pass, right,
<v Speaker 1>the wise Guy's been an established character.
<v Speaker 4>He's now the wise Guy. We know him as the
<v Speaker 4>wise Guy, and we will buy him in any situation.
<v Speaker 4>He can be working three different stores in one episode.
<v Speaker 4>Will buy it because he's just the wise Guy. Sure,
<v Speaker 4>So it's so weird when you see them in season
<v Speaker 4>twenty have the wise Guy voice, Like Hank's just doing
<v Speaker 4>the wise Guy voice, but it's not drawn as the
<v Speaker 4>wise Guy. Why just have it as a wise guy?
<v Speaker 4>Why can't the wise Guy be selling hot tubs?
<v Speaker 1>Why do they think?
<v Speaker 4>You'd think it would be a natural But it's almost
<v Speaker 4>like it was a decision to go because why would
<v Speaker 4>Hank give him the wise guy voice? Because that's a character. Now,
<v Speaker 4>why would you.
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to accuse Hank azaribing, no.
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, but I feel like that's the kind of
<v Speaker 4>thing that Hank would say, Hey, should I be using
<v Speaker 4>this voice?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?
<v Speaker 4>You feel it's a conversation that should be had because
<v Speaker 4>it'd be the same as them going to a comic
<v Speaker 4>book store and Hank using the comic book guy voice
<v Speaker 4>for a different character. Wise Guy is an established character
<v Speaker 4>in my opinion, now, don't you think.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, not as necessarily as well known as a comic
<v Speaker 1>book guy to use your example.
<v Speaker 4>No, not to the broader public, but to Simpsons fans,
<v Speaker 4>he's a wise guy.
<v Speaker 1>Well, he's number one in my heart. Yeah, yes, but yeah,
<v Speaker 1>but why is the guy always different face?
<v Speaker 4>Also, this is me whenever buying anything new, I've gotta
<v Speaker 4>have the fanciest, nicest one for me. In particular, it's TVs.
<v Speaker 4>When I'm going to get TV's, I'm gonna have the
<v Speaker 4>biggest one they've got, right. I've had my eye on
<v Speaker 4>the ninety eight inch Samsung TV for a long time, right,
<v Speaker 4>and it keeps going down and down and down in price,
<v Speaker 4>I says Nicola, What is at a certain point, I'll
<v Speaker 4>sell this one like a grand the one we've got,
<v Speaker 4>and then I'll just upgrade, right, put on the payment
<v Speaker 4>plan after pay, not after pay. It's like sixty months
<v Speaker 4>inches free. That's the one I claim for those things,
<v Speaker 4>right because after you get yeah, six weeks and I'm
<v Speaker 4>like I have eight grand, right now?
<v Speaker 1>That's correct? Yeah, except there's they say interesting. I mean,
<v Speaker 1>there's also kind of like, yeah, we're also throwing in
<v Speaker 1>ten dollars.
<v Speaker 4>Like either the monthly fee, like yeah, but it still
<v Speaker 4>works that cheaper.
<v Speaker 1>I know it does, but I was like, you even
<v Speaker 1>wanted to make me read fine print.
<v Speaker 4>Well, it's like more buying the couch. It was interest
<v Speaker 4>free for so and so long. I think it was
<v Speaker 4>fifty months into free for ten dollars a month, and
<v Speaker 4>then you're also get a five hundred dollars gift card
<v Speaker 4>for half a Norman. I was like, so, if I don't
<v Speaker 4>pay it for fifty months, I've essentially given you five
<v Speaker 4>hundred dollars, so you're not making it. So that's how
<v Speaker 4>they suck people in. So we just bought it out right,
<v Speaker 4>and I was like, favorite of dollars please, and I like, eh, shit.
<v Speaker 4>But the thing is that with the TVs, there's ninety
<v Speaker 4>eighty inch Samsung.
<v Speaker 1>I said to Nickle.
<v Speaker 4>The problem is I'm waiting for it to go down
<v Speaker 4>and down and down in price, and by the time
<v Speaker 4>it gets to the point where I can afford to
<v Speaker 4>buy it, there's going to be an even bigger TV
<v Speaker 4>than I want.
<v Speaker 1>You're like eight K or something like yeah, yeah, I
<v Speaker 1>think this is I think this is sixteen K.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's just going to be a new one. But
<v Speaker 4>I guess so I feel of TV's is a point
<v Speaker 4>now where they can't get any clearer, right, But we
<v Speaker 4>probably said the same thing back in two thousand and two. Correct, Yeah,
<v Speaker 4>but you know I'm gonna eventually get that TV But
<v Speaker 4>that's me.
<v Speaker 1>Are you like that? Though?
<v Speaker 4>When you buy something new, it's like I'm gonna have
<v Speaker 4>the fanciest one, or you're got the idea of having
<v Speaker 4>the fanciest one, then you go, it really isn't in
<v Speaker 4>my price range.
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes yeah, I mean, not nearly as fancy as you
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to TV's, but rage as I had
<v Speaker 1>like the old school vacuum cleaner, you know, like the
<v Speaker 1>big bulky thing and you know the holes coming out
<v Speaker 1>of it, or like, yeah, I got to plug it
<v Speaker 1>into the water.
<v Speaker 4>So fun to suck the car back into it. Though
<v Speaker 4>you push the button then obviously.
<v Speaker 1>What's kind of but otherwise you know, I'm plugging it
<v Speaker 1>in the wall like a savage, like a caveman, and
<v Speaker 1>it's like, hey, have you heard about this dazzing thing?
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like it seems kind of expensive. But then
<v Speaker 1>of course came out of target, Well we've got our
<v Speaker 1>cheap bass version, Like, well, how much difference get there be?
<v Speaker 1>Turns out there's a bit. But I bought the blues.
<v Speaker 1>I bought the Billini one from came and it worked
<v Speaker 1>perfectly fine for it might have been Bellini by Ancho
<v Speaker 1>or something like that. Meanwhile, The Love of Louise actually
<v Speaker 1>bought like a proper diceon. And there'd be occasionally I
<v Speaker 1>go over and like, honey, you're doing this. I'll do
<v Speaker 1>a bit of vacuuming just for kicks, and it's like,
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, yes, you can really feel the difference.
<v Speaker 1>So you'll feel the difference. And when it came time
<v Speaker 1>on Amazon's like yeah, normally I'm just looking at oh,
<v Speaker 1>this book's on sale, all this blue rays on sales,
<v Speaker 1>like they must have hurt they hurt me coming or
<v Speaker 1>saw me coming, because like by the way, you know,
<v Speaker 1>on Amazon Prime Day, this duce and there's like half price.
<v Speaker 4>I'm like, so old, yeah, half price sales are the
<v Speaker 4>best now.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so now I've got this old yeah, this old
<v Speaker 1>Belie me bi anger just gathering dust. I need to
<v Speaker 1>use the dyson on that. Can you stay over there
<v Speaker 1>and get dusty? Well, I'm like, oh, can I put
<v Speaker 1>this on marketplace? And now no one's gonna want it,
<v Speaker 1>so I'm just gonna have to put it out. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna have to do call it, call the cancel,
<v Speaker 1>like hard rubbish timing and gays it's hard rubbish. How
<v Speaker 1>good is hard run? It's brilliant. It's like a cleansing experience.
<v Speaker 1>I know I've got I've got to do another. Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>It's like it's like a colonic or an anime for
<v Speaker 1>you for all the.
<v Speaker 4>Ship that it's all the ship where you look at
<v Speaker 4>and you go, how the fuck am I going to
<v Speaker 4>get rid of this?
<v Speaker 1>And you go, I know how, Yeah, call the cancel.
<v Speaker 1>We'll take it away. I had this recently where I
<v Speaker 1>had a bunch of stuff that I put in the backyard,
<v Speaker 1>just like I need to get this out of the house.
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to throw it away. It's not quite hard.
<v Speaker 1>It was the cat. It was the cat, and then
<v Speaker 1>at back under a Tarpet's like one of these days
<v Speaker 1>I'll call hard rubby. I finally called hard rubbish. They said,
<v Speaker 1>all right, we're coming around to pick it up. And
<v Speaker 1>then I forgot forgot the day, and I was like, oh, no,
<v Speaker 1>this is the day. Oh, that's the truck. They're coming.
<v Speaker 1>They give you like a week's notice.
<v Speaker 4>Well, make sure it's out at the beginning of the
<v Speaker 4>week and we'll come sometime during that week.
<v Speaker 1>It's they came on like the Monday, on the Monday
<v Speaker 1>mornings like, oh shit, oh you're a hard rubbi custy.
<v Speaker 1>Yes we are. You mean there. I was like, I'm
<v Speaker 1>just getting a neck. Can you wait for two seconds?
<v Speaker 1>They don't like waiting. No, So I managed to get
<v Speaker 1>maybe three quarters of the stuff out, but there's still
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more, but I'm adding watches the whole time.
<v Speaker 1>Kind of we had a contract, buddy. Yeah, anyway, hard rubbish,
<v Speaker 1>it's great hard rubbish removal, big fan. Getting rid of
<v Speaker 1>hard rubbish is great. Oh yeah, absolutely yes.
<v Speaker 4>But they beg Marge, can we please have it? And
<v Speaker 4>Lisa needs to because, you know, really relieve stress, and
<v Speaker 4>she's really stressed. Even Maggie holds up the sign that
<v Speaker 4>says no dolls on an approved credit dolls down there,
<v Speaker 4>So she even begs herself much like why am I
<v Speaker 4>begging myself? A cast of them all in the hot
<v Speaker 4>tub and barts is a line here that makes me
<v Speaker 4>just sad. Now I know why lobsters let it that
<v Speaker 4>squirre when they dropped in water like this, and I
<v Speaker 4>was like, ah, I don't understand how people can possibly
<v Speaker 4>do that.
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'm allergic to shellfish.
<v Speaker 4>I don't see fit. I'm just don't like it in general.
<v Speaker 4>Really I do. I will eat fish and stuff, but
<v Speaker 4>I'm just not a huge fan of it. The idea
<v Speaker 4>of people dropping animals, living creatures into boiling water and
<v Speaker 4>making them feel like that's how they're going out and
<v Speaker 4>enough for me. No good, no good people, No, no,
<v Speaker 4>not not nice at all.
<v Speaker 1>I've had someone say it's the most humane way. I'm like,
<v Speaker 1>is it really the nicest way? Dropping something in boiling
<v Speaker 1>water and hearing it squeal, knowing it's in pain. It's
<v Speaker 1>final moments in life where incredible pain. Yeah, terrible.
<v Speaker 4>Yes, Well it's hard of the Simpsons because now we've
<v Speaker 4>all had this love with Pinchy.
<v Speaker 1>It's but lots.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, lobsters are they're friends now.
<v Speaker 1>Even if they do it like claws and beats and shit.
<v Speaker 4>So now they're all just enjoying themselves in the in
<v Speaker 4>the spa and they're attracting the swingers who include the Hibbits.
<v Speaker 4>They've made no secret now that the Hibbitts are in
<v Speaker 4>keep some funky stuff. Yeah, discoes to there. Missus Kate
<v Speaker 4>not married, so why is she a swinger?
<v Speaker 1>That's true. I thought you had to be at least
<v Speaker 1>in a relationship. Maybe. I think maybe if you want
<v Speaker 1>to impose your sexuality on an existing couple, that sort
<v Speaker 1>of makes swing.
<v Speaker 4>There for the three ways of whatever. Okay, so she's
<v Speaker 4>Homo scares them away, says go back to your day spas,
<v Speaker 4>and March suggests they should get out, but Homer puts
<v Speaker 4>on the bubbles again, said no, let's stay all night,
<v Speaker 4>and Flanders wakes up the middle of the night says,
<v Speaker 4>cool your jets, which was a nice pun. Says I'm
<v Speaker 4>trying to get some sleep. But they offer for him
<v Speaker 4>to come in as well, but he's afraid of getting
<v Speaker 4>his mustache wet, so he jumps in with his little
<v Speaker 4>what you got a mustache neck mustache guard.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, it's always nice to be reminded that Ned is,
<v Speaker 1>in fact yoked. He is indeed.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I notice when he's walking off, its almost like
<v Speaker 4>the walk of shame in the morning, a son's coming up.
<v Speaker 4>He's walking off back home again, and it's almost they're going,
<v Speaker 4>we're forgetting something here. It almost like it was urged
<v Speaker 4>and I've think of something on the fridge, and homes
<v Speaker 4>is probably reminded to relax more so they turn them
<v Speaker 4>back up and they sleep. It is now the senior
<v Speaker 4>family picnic. That's what it was at the retirement home.
<v Speaker 4>And Grandpa is missing out on being a part of
<v Speaker 4>the father's son Willbarrow race because the family aren't there.
<v Speaker 4>He tries to jump in front of the gun, but
<v Speaker 4>they just blanks.
<v Speaker 1>Wait, what happened to the bottles?
<v Speaker 2>You got for nothing jellyfish while you were lying here
<v Speaker 2>silking like a bunch of dirty dishes.
<v Speaker 1>I was lonelier than nstist Keith.
<v Speaker 2>Hover at a meaning of murder incorporated that actually makes sense?
<v Speaker 2>Look it up?
<v Speaker 4>Which makes sense? Do you want to explain why indeed
<v Speaker 4>actually lifted up there?
<v Speaker 1>I not here. I suppose I just look up Keith Albert.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's almost like not trying to tell us you
<v Speaker 4>do the research for this, mate, You do the work here.
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, yeah. His main claim to fame was he
<v Speaker 1>ran the Senate hearings against organized crime in the US
<v Speaker 1>in I believe the nineteen fifty fifty. Yeah. Yeah, and
<v Speaker 1>murder Incorporated. Well that's the that's the mob. That's the
<v Speaker 1>sort of the blanket term for the organized crime responsible
<v Speaker 1>for thousands of deaths indeed hits. It's a business, yes,
<v Speaker 1>murder and corporate. They took the name seriously. So when
<v Speaker 1>he pulls the hot tub hole dope name, it's murder Incorporated.
<v Speaker 1>So good do I think that, like, that's legitimate business
<v Speaker 1>name where murdering corporated? Then he I think the hot
<v Speaker 1>tub burst. Something happens and they all flap around like fish,
<v Speaker 1>which when doesn't he kick it? You know what it is?
<v Speaker 1>He kicks it? Ok? Yeah, it falls apart. Yeah, and
<v Speaker 1>they're all flopping around. Yeah yeah yeah.
<v Speaker 4>He tries to explain to them that he hasn't got
<v Speaker 4>much time left. This is why it makes me upset
<v Speaker 4>that you missed these things, because the wasted day like
<v Speaker 4>this is one that I'll ever get back. I'm thirty
<v Speaker 4>six and I'm already starting to feel this way. I'm like,
<v Speaker 4>what a waste of a day. Why am I not
<v Speaker 4>taking making the most of this day? I'm sitting around
<v Speaker 4>doing nothing. I should be out riding a bike, you know,
<v Speaker 4>putting bubbles in the bath.
<v Speaker 1>When you've got to give yourself a little time for
<v Speaker 1>self care, and self care can manages itself. Is just
<v Speaker 1>like doing nothing. I mean, yeah, you know what it is.
<v Speaker 4>I had a realization recently that I'm probably almost at
<v Speaker 4>the halfway mark of life.
<v Speaker 1>I went, wow, halfway.
<v Speaker 4>Here, and it feels like and it hasn't gone by
<v Speaker 4>like that, but it feels like when you get to
<v Speaker 4>these it feels like it's flown bygger hasn't. But he
<v Speaker 4>gets a point where you go.
<v Speaker 1>I don't think you're at the halfway market.
<v Speaker 4>I think you're I'm halfway to being old.
<v Speaker 1>Oh certainly. Oh yeah, look I say all the time,
<v Speaker 1>I'm on the back nine of my life. Yeah absolutely
<v Speaker 1>I am. Yeah, I probably got what it maybe twenty
<v Speaker 1>five good summers left.
<v Speaker 4>So this is where Grandpa hands them the note and
<v Speaker 4>because he says, says, I never realized you had dreams
<v Speaker 4>and emotions and whatnot. So he gives them the note
<v Speaker 4>of things he's always wanted to do, and he had
<v Speaker 4>the list. And the list is, as we mentioned earlier,
<v Speaker 4>pitch in.
<v Speaker 1>The Negro League.
<v Speaker 4>There's at least two problems with that. You can't read
<v Speaker 4>the one with the thumb over it, which will see
<v Speaker 4>the Chrysler building. Now, I'm glad that I didn't freeze
<v Speaker 4>framing go back right, because it would have ruined the
<v Speaker 4>joke for later on. But it says here have one
<v Speaker 4>more Bureau of flun against pub right, and under it
<v Speaker 4>it said get cheated, And I was like, there's a
<v Speaker 4>guy there kindly bothered. I'm glad it pays off later, right.
<v Speaker 4>So another good vision. You're gay here where the pubs
<v Speaker 4>in Ireland? And it's just them looking up at the plane.
<v Speaker 4>I think it was a dairy air. Is that the
<v Speaker 4>plane line? The yeah a play on Deiry correct.

<v Speaker 1>East Boston, Freckled Bog, the Land of Poetry and the
<v Speaker 1>Land of bad Poetry. And on your left you'll see
<v Speaker 1>Western Ireland. On your right you'll see Kathy Ireland.
<v Speaker 2>Hi everyone.
<v Speaker 4>Apparently there was a press release for the episode when

<v Speaker 4>Islands in the episode. Maybe she was going to be
<v Speaker 4>in it, and then she pulled out last minute. I'm
<v Speaker 4>not too sure, but there was Trust McNeil who did
<v Speaker 4>the voice indeed, do you think our listeners will be
<v Speaker 4>aware of Kathy Island is slash.
<v Speaker 1>Ones tell us who it is? Well, a supermodel of
<v Speaker 1>the nineteen eighties, very big on sports illustration. I believe,
<v Speaker 1>just had that very all American girl kind of thing
<v Speaker 1>going on. But the super pretty version of the all
<v Speaker 1>American girl also had a very squeaky event. All American girls,
<v Speaker 1>not pretty, not all American girls like what I did there. Anyway,
<v Speaker 1>She also had a very squeaky voice. Okay. Also put
<v Speaker 1>a name on a lot of stuff like at grills
<v Speaker 1>and whatnot, more like like the Island Grill. I think
<v Speaker 1>maybe discount apparel that you would find at k martin

<v Speaker 4>story of how we visited the pub for the first time,
<v Speaker 4>singing this song in the life This is the life
<v Speaker 4>in Ireland. Good song, fun song. Sure, I've got a
<v Speaker 4>kick out of the cabbage and the corn beef coming
<v Speaker 4>out of the tap corn beef being I think we
<v Speaker 4>call it silver side.
<v Speaker 1>Right, that's belief.
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, I haven't had silver side in so long,
<v Speaker 4>but my nan used to love silver side sandwiches. So
<v Speaker 4>when we go to Nansa, it's like, do you have
<v Speaker 4>any silver side?
<v Speaker 1>And acts, of.
<v Speaker 4>Course, what's one thing that you have memory wise of
<v Speaker 4>going to your NaN's place and her opening the door
<v Speaker 4>to a new world for me, it was she was
<v Speaker 4>the first person who ever cooked chips at home but
<v Speaker 4>made them out of potatoes. So I watched her actually
<v Speaker 4>cut them. I was like, no, no, I want potatoes
<v Speaker 4>from the fish and chips and I can make them home.
<v Speaker 4>And I was like, I was like, I make it
<v Speaker 4>burger better than it done, or orind of thing right. And
<v Speaker 4>she made these chips and I was went, holy shit,
<v Speaker 4>this is incredible. And then she introduced me to this
<v Speaker 4>chicken salt. I was like, oh wow, my life was
<v Speaker 4>never the same. So did your name ever do something
<v Speaker 4>where you went, oh shit.
<v Speaker 1>Not really mind Nana. Nana Davis was already sort of
<v Speaker 1>fair along the road by the time. Okay, yeah, because
<v Speaker 1>you were like the ten years I was laking line
<v Speaker 1>and all that kind of business. Always some very nice sweets.
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna say, what, what's like a food memory?
<v Speaker 1>You have? More like there has been tins of quality
<v Speaker 1>straight around the joint. You're not eating them teeth.
<v Speaker 4>My name needs to love having peppermints. Oh yeah, I
<v Speaker 4>always had mints. And I was like, my mom didn't
<v Speaker 4>need him, my dad didn't need him.
<v Speaker 1>But I move. I went to NaN's. I can have
<v Speaker 1>some peppermints.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, good old man, miss you Nan. But so they
<v Speaker 4>arrived in Ireland singing the Somber but telling about how
<v Speaker 4>he visited that was it like it wasn't after the war.
<v Speaker 1>Anything wasn't. He was just I feel like he was
<v Speaker 1>dressing his arm. It felt that way. It didn't.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but it never explained why he was out in
<v Speaker 4>the first place.
<v Speaker 1>He was just there. Well do we have like a
<v Speaker 1>documented history of I mean, we've got episodes involving Grandad's
<v Speaker 1>wartime exploits. But I guess he fought in Europe more
<v Speaker 1>than he than say, the Pacific Theater. Yeah. Yeah, it
<v Speaker 1>makes sense that he would probably end up being somewhere
<v Speaker 1>in island. Yeah, but they arrive in Duncanderry. The Celtic
<v Speaker 1>translation is the same, yep. And it looks like a
<v Speaker 1>puzzle at the pedi Eutician's office. That's Trueland is just lovely. Yeah. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>that's the thing with England.
<v Speaker 4>England is not my favorite place in regards to having
<v Speaker 4>a holiday because I'm not a history buff. Right, if
<v Speaker 4>you like history, it's amazing. I'm more your typical nerd
<v Speaker 4>who likes to go to theme parks and that kind
<v Speaker 4>of stuff. Right, That's I'm not saying England's bad, right,
<v Speaker 4>but it's just I after I've seen a couple of castles,
<v Speaker 4>I'm like, a castle is a castle to me. Sure,
<v Speaker 4>that's kind of thing, but I can't deny that it's
<v Speaker 4>all just incredibly beautiful.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, absolutely, Oh, the word verdant springs to mind
<v Speaker 1>when you go to island. It's green. Everything is green.
<v Speaker 1>I mean one of they called the Emerala. But yeah,
<v Speaker 1>it's just oh this is nice, this is beautiful.
<v Speaker 4>But Grandpa, they can't believe that it's all modern. Now
<v Speaker 4>everything's up there. It's upscale boutiques and yupricorns talking about
<v Speaker 4>holidays in Tuscany or something. Someone's in Tuscany. Yeah, that
<v Speaker 4>upmarket yuprecorn. And there was a visual gag because a
<v Speaker 4>few signs of one. There was one about getting your
<v Speaker 4>freckles fixed up or something. But I loved the You
<v Speaker 4>two removal. We move in mysterious ways. See again, I'm
<v Speaker 4>glad they didn't just go I know they've already had
<v Speaker 4>You two on, but they could have had Bono on
<v Speaker 4>again and that kind of thing, but they didn't. They
<v Speaker 4>just they focused on Ireland, the country itself. Yeah, Lisa says,
<v Speaker 4>it makes sense because Ireland is now at the forefront
<v Speaker 4>of Europe. The europe tech boom. Hewlett Fitzpackard was one
<v Speaker 4>of them. Is Microsoft, Microsoft, Microsoft and Cisco Systems, and
<v Speaker 4>the pub is there and it's now next to bog
<v Speaker 4>Bath and beyond. But the pub is still there, old
<v Speaker 4>Tomo Flanagan. He hasn't sold out.
<v Speaker 1>He' kept his place.
<v Speaker 4>And they arrive and there and they see Tomas watching
<v Speaker 4>the horse race from nineteen seventy nine in the old
<v Speaker 4>room at the back, and he says, I'm just an
<v Speaker 4>old man. Yeah at me tapes and it's been years since.
<v Speaker 4>This is another gag like this been years since I
<v Speaker 4>sold a pint. It's like, you mean piney. It's been
<v Speaker 4>so long after forgot how to say it. I don't
<v Speaker 4>know how to say pube.
<v Speaker 1>Yes.
<v Speaker 4>They then ask for a beer and he can't believe
<v Speaker 4>it either, like, oh my god, I actually sell something.
<v Speaker 4>And but he tries to order something much as you can't,
<v Speaker 4>because we're going to go see some sights, but he
<v Speaker 4>wants to watch the German Krusty. We get a clip
<v Speaker 4>of German Krusty. The German voice is just a fun
<v Speaker 4>accent to take the mickey out of it. Of course,
<v Speaker 4>if he's done a time and time again, of course
<v Speaker 4>I love to do it.
<v Speaker 1>But at the same time, why would they be showing
<v Speaker 1>German Krusty in Ireland.
<v Speaker 4>That is a very good point. I didn't even sort
<v Speaker 4>of pick up on that.
<v Speaker 1>In the moment. Yeah, that doesn't make sense at all.
<v Speaker 1>Play in German. Yeah, that is weird.
<v Speaker 4>But she says that that's not how family vacations work
<v Speaker 4>here on the Simpsons. The way they work is we
<v Speaker 4>do things together and your father has fun doing something
<v Speaker 4>without us.
<v Speaker 1>Nice meta comment here. Yes.
<v Speaker 4>Tom then suggests a delicious Australian charaz called Koala's Leap Charaz,
<v Speaker 4>and he says, no, I want a I want an
<v Speaker 4>Irish drink. So he says, all right, a Bushman's whiskey
<v Speaker 4>served in a floating in a Guinness stout a stout. Yeah,
<v Speaker 4>Guinness is a stout.
<v Speaker 1>Guinness is a stout.
<v Speaker 4>Okay, it's bush Mills by the way, bush Mill said, okay, sorry,
<v Speaker 4>Bushman's bush Mill.
<v Speaker 1>Sorry.
<v Speaker 4>So the stouts what I had at the word of
<v Speaker 4>the rings. Maybe it's something similar, I'm not too sure.
<v Speaker 4>But so I on an Irish drink and he spits
<v Speaker 4>in it. He has that's much better. And the family. Now,
<v Speaker 4>when I say the family, by the way, this is
<v Speaker 4>I'm referring to everyone but Homer. So the family are
<v Speaker 4>at the Giant's causeway. Now we get a gag here, basically,
<v Speaker 4>so Cubert right, So that's the game. That's a game, right, yeah,
<v Speaker 4>video game. Yes, I forgot to look up cubitt So
<v Speaker 4>Cuban's a little I know it. It looks like he's in
<v Speaker 4>like recket Ralph and things like that.
<v Speaker 1>My little schnos and all that kind of I'm looking.
<v Speaker 4>At the pitch here, so that that's basically what it
<v Speaker 4>looks like.
<v Speaker 1>It leaps from square to square to come and get
<v Speaker 1>at the top of this little pyramid. Kind of. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>go on. By the way, I'm ascribing gender to Cubert,
<v Speaker 1>Cuba could very easily be non binary or even female.
<v Speaker 1>Who knows.
<v Speaker 4>Again, one of those gags that if as a kid
<v Speaker 4>you have no do what it is, you're like, this
<v Speaker 4>is obviously something.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yeah, And I think I was.
<v Speaker 4>I was going to touch on this earlier talking about
<v Speaker 4>how we're talking about the word or gas, right, and
<v Speaker 4>where the kids would say, what's this word mean? I
<v Speaker 4>think when you're a kid watching it, right, you almost
<v Speaker 4>don't want to have to ask what does this mean,
<v Speaker 4>because you want to sort of think I should.
<v Speaker 1>Know what this means.
<v Speaker 4>Sure, yeah, So it's just oh, yeah, that's just the joke.
<v Speaker 4>I'm going to laugh because I want to feel smart.
<v Speaker 1>And intelligent.
<v Speaker 4>As you get older, you actually learn what it means. Yeah.
<v Speaker 4>Then they're at the Guinness factory and the tour guides
<v Speaker 4>she says, oh, you want to know the recipe. I won't
<v Speaker 4>tell you because then it wouldn't be a secret. But
<v Speaker 4>then they walk off and Lisa sneaks in and it's
<v Speaker 4>just the brewing room and it's just a guy with
<v Speaker 4>bog water and chocolate chocolate syrup is what it is,
<v Speaker 4>and the ratio is fifty to fifty. Then they're at
<v Speaker 4>Mcallis Island. Kind of feels like getting through the more
<v Speaker 4>quickly is It's like location, location, location, location of Blandy Stone.
<v Speaker 4>You've got a story you mentioned earlier, said you kissed it, right.
<v Speaker 1>That's true. Yes, the legend of Blandy Stone is that
<v Speaker 1>if you kiss it, they say in an episode, you
<v Speaker 1>get the gift of the gap, you get a bit
<v Speaker 1>of a silver tonel work for me anyway, But I
<v Speaker 1>was nineteen seventy nine. We were traveling through Ireland and
<v Speaker 1>you know, near the blinding Stone, so it's like, all right,
<v Speaker 1>well you might as well do it. I mean, I
<v Speaker 1>don't think Mum and Dad actually kissed it, because the
<v Speaker 1>way they present it here. I don't know, maybe they
<v Speaker 1>do it differently now. But to kiss the Blarney Stone
<v Speaker 1>when I did it, you have to sort of lie
<v Speaker 1>down on your back, lean down through this little sort
<v Speaker 1>of hole and the blandy stone is, yeah, kind of
<v Speaker 1>on the underside of something. So it's it's not death.
<v Speaker 1>It's not death defying or anything like that.
<v Speaker 4>Isn't it how it was in this episode though, because
<v Speaker 4>Bart was behind the wall. Well yeah, but the people
<v Speaker 4>who were lying out to kiss the bloney signe were
<v Speaker 4>just sort of getting on their knees and leaning down
<v Speaker 4>and giving it a kiss, whereas you have to lie
<v Speaker 4>on your back, your back and go under under. Yes, yeah,
<v Speaker 4>that's kind of weird. It's a like a glory hole
<v Speaker 4>a little bit. Yes, But close your eyes you'll have
<v Speaker 4>a surprise.
<v Speaker 1>Well I certainly did because I kissed it and all that.
<v Speaker 1>But then I don't think I've been feeling bad before,
<v Speaker 1>but walking back to the car, because I mean it's
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of a trek and all that, I
<v Speaker 1>started to feel really sick and I think I just
<v Speaker 1>had like a I think I had a bad sand
<v Speaker 1>that was Uncle Frank's blindy stone. I think i'd had
<v Speaker 1>a bad sandwich that morning or something bad burrito burrito. Yes,
<v Speaker 1>but I distinctly remember walking back to the other I
<v Speaker 1>feel so good, like I was about to throw up
<v Speaker 1>or whatever. And some American tourists are walking past, and
<v Speaker 1>you know, it was like your stereotypical American tourists tank
<v Speaker 1>tops on glass. Kid, did you kiss the blowney stone?
<v Speaker 1>I said yeah, and I'm gonna throw up. They looked
<v Speaker 1>at me. What so do they clean it after you
<v Speaker 1>kiss it? What's the go That's a really good question.
<v Speaker 1>It's it's weird. Yeah, this was nineteen seventy nine. I
<v Speaker 1>think we had wasn't really a big issue then. But no,
<v Speaker 1>I definitely kissed the Blarney Stone and my life was
<v Speaker 1>never the same.
<v Speaker 4>But before they get to the Blarney Stone, though, it's
<v Speaker 4>Micallis Island and there they returning immigrants who are sick
<v Speaker 4>of America. They get processed by the Irish authorities and
<v Speaker 4>they say you're so and so. Now it's like I'm
<v Speaker 4>John Smith. Where now your son told me next week? Yeah,
<v Speaker 4>they give him all the Irish names. They make one
<v Speaker 4>guy a brother and they shake hands. No, no, your brothers,
<v Speaker 4>Oh okay, we're not supposed to be nice to each other.
<v Speaker 4>Then the bloody stone you're mentioning there, you get the
<v Speaker 4>gift of the game of you kiss it much concerned
<v Speaker 4>by this? Should we be encouraging kissing. I'm sure that's
<v Speaker 4>what Lisa should be doing. Then Bart goes down paints
<v Speaker 4>his backside.
<v Speaker 1>Okay s m y a, yes, spells kiss my ass.
<v Speaker 1>I'll surprised me.
<v Speaker 4>He says, like k I s s s m I
<v Speaker 4>M y A says kiss my ass, and I was like, OK, whatever, sure,
<v Speaker 4>but he just paints. So he paints his ass so
<v Speaker 4>it looks like a rock bends down. Unfortunately, the Nelson
<v Speaker 4>of Ireland is there and hesides the carve his name
<v Speaker 4>and as well. Horror. Yes, the guys are now drinking
<v Speaker 4>at the pub and they wake up the next day
<v Speaker 4>and realize that they in fact brought to the pub.
<v Speaker 4>He shows them the photos to prove it with the
<v Speaker 4>loan officer and the guy from the insurance company and whatnot.
<v Speaker 4>And he's also a front of him fixing the windows
<v Speaker 4>for term damage as part of the escro escrow agreement.
<v Speaker 4>And then he says, you know what, blind drunks, you
<v Speaker 4>guys have excellent knowledge for real estate law. And he
<v Speaker 4>just walks out and that's the end of Tommy. He's gone.
<v Speaker 4>He sold his pub and he's out. And Homer asks
<v Speaker 4>if this was on your list, and this is the
<v Speaker 4>joke I was mentioning earlier. He goes, well, in fact,
<v Speaker 4>it was because the next one was getting cheated by
<v Speaker 4>a nourishmn Homa says, do the next one was annoying
<v Speaker 4>my son. And underneath that, did you see what I said?
<v Speaker 4>See NBC go under?
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's right, yes, yeah, I don't think that's gonna
<v Speaker 1>be happening anytime soon. See TV go under? Well, it's
<v Speaker 1>a TV network.
<v Speaker 4>Could TV networks just become like Max for example, like
<v Speaker 4>could that just become teens?
<v Speaker 1>Well?
<v Speaker 4>T T just cease to exist and it's just it's
<v Speaker 4>just streaming now it's just ten.
<v Speaker 1>I think they'll still be. There'll still be commercial networks
<v Speaker 1>like NBC and have to be free to air. I
<v Speaker 1>think that's there still will be for some time. I
<v Speaker 1>think I think there's too many generations that are still
<v Speaker 1>used to it. And here's the thing. I'm sure I've
<v Speaker 1>said this in the past, but now everyone talks about, oh,
<v Speaker 1>streaming shows like and they're always the hot thing, like
<v Speaker 1>Succession or something like a White Lotus or whatever you
<v Speaker 1>appearing on cable or on streaming Bear or the Bear. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>usually the numbers for those shows are like everyone's talking
<v Speaker 1>about it, but not that many people are watching it.
<v Speaker 1>Only theavy bill are watching it. Meanwhile, you know your
<v Speaker 1>shows like say FBI International or Chicago Med all that
<v Speaker 1>stuff that's on free to wear.
<v Speaker 4>And there are especially heinous.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they're not. You do the rest where they're not
<v Speaker 1>getting the publicity or anything like that. It's like, oh,
<v Speaker 1>this isn't that cool to what And they're not getting
<v Speaker 1>the huge numbers that they used to. But three or
<v Speaker 1>four more twice as many people are as what watching
<v Speaker 1>an episode of FBI International as say Succession. So yeah,
<v Speaker 1>it's still there and it's still viable. It's just yeah,
<v Speaker 1>people aren't talking about it. People aren't talking about and
<v Speaker 1>it's not quite as lucrative as it used to be,
<v Speaker 1>but it's still pretty lucrative.
<v Speaker 4>So Grabby going through all the various drinks, he finds
<v Speaker 4>it brandy, it's because it's fifty years old?
<v Speaker 1>Is it out? Over?
<v Speaker 4>Then tries encouraging some people to drink Hey.
<v Speaker 1>Boy, you.
<v Speaker 2>How about a tall, cool one? How about you green sleeves?
<v Speaker 2>Irish men love to get drunk. I'm in a who
<v Speaker 2>are you stuttering?
<v Speaker 1>Funzie?
<v Speaker 2>What about your bicycle pants?
<v Speaker 3>I'm late for a teleconference with Hong Kong.
<v Speaker 1>Your fat god?
<v Speaker 2>Yuck yuck, First sale, I first refund.
<v Speaker 4>It's now blooms Day, which is every June sixteen. Lovers
<v Speaker 4>of Jangs Joyce that you mentioned earlier, follow the route
<v Speaker 4>traveled by Leopold Bloom in the novel. Ulysses yes, and
<v Speaker 4>but then takes notes for this and he says, next
<v Speaker 4>time visit Scotland. So basically saying it's basically what you're
<v Speaker 4>saying here is we've run out of fun things to do. Yeah,
<v Speaker 4>that's pretty much what's happened here. Then we get a
<v Speaker 4>cameo from the two guests.
<v Speaker 1>From Glenn and Marquette.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, from Once pretty much just is it just taking
<v Speaker 4>Mickey out the film?
<v Speaker 1>You think this? I think so. Yeah. I fact that
<v Speaker 1>it's all a story of if not unrequired love, then
<v Speaker 1>love that just wrong place, wrong time. It would have
<v Speaker 1>felt relevant at the time of this episode aired. Yeah, certainly.
<v Speaker 1>The song Falling Slow and it was Once was a
<v Speaker 1>pretty a big deal around this time. Not a huge deal,
<v Speaker 1>but it was in the zeitgeist enough the equivalent.
<v Speaker 4>No, the equivalent of this would be maybe for example,
<v Speaker 4>yet Michael caitin in to say, Talum, he's dreaming, that
<v Speaker 4>would be would be the equivalent of this now, where
<v Speaker 4>in twenty twenty five that reference would be lost. But
<v Speaker 4>I think that's that's become part of our culture now
<v Speaker 4>Talim's dreaming.
<v Speaker 1>I think so, yeah, straight to the poor room all
<v Speaker 1>that kind of Yeah, but a lot of lines from
<v Speaker 1>the castle have become embedded.
<v Speaker 4>But outside of Australia, I don't think so.
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, they think they tried really hard to make
<v Speaker 1>the castle like world renowned. Yeah.
<v Speaker 4>I think Mirramacs bought it really and it's too ousy,
<v Speaker 4>isn't it. It is because they were like, oh the
<v Speaker 4>full Monty is very English and we took it to
<v Speaker 4>America and it did all right. Maybe we can do
<v Speaker 4>there is great and castles pretty good too. Yeah, but
<v Speaker 4>it's not British humor. It is, but it's kind of universe.
<v Speaker 4>Not the humor isn't funny because it's British. It's got
<v Speaker 4>the great thing of like everyone can relate to this situation. Yeah,
<v Speaker 4>but it's being told in an English accent and a
<v Speaker 4>very specific shack as well. So if you feel like, oh,
<v Speaker 4>I get this, but I'm also getting an education or
<v Speaker 4>I'm learning something new, or it's like, honey, let's try.
<v Speaker 1>Is it called Rogan, Josh? Is it like Joe Rogan?
<v Speaker 1>You know, yeah, you're trying something's a little bit different.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's it's a charming movie that last time we
<v Speaker 4>actually do the full Monty He's can't but Smiley's fantastic.
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, and The Castle is a very good movie
<v Speaker 1>as well. It is.
<v Speaker 4>Indeed, if you haven't watched The Castle, check it out.
<v Speaker 4>You might not get it. But hopefully if you listen
<v Speaker 4>to this show long enough you might get the jokes
<v Speaker 4>a bit more. Certainly, Yes, but Homer has an idea
<v Speaker 4>and how we need to think of ideas and how
<v Speaker 4>to make money from a pub has no customers and
<v Speaker 4>zero charm. So you think he's ordered in mo but no,
<v Speaker 4>that he's just got there. Let's how you fly coach
<v Speaker 4>with duck. Now he's in the box and whatnot. And
<v Speaker 4>he says you need to let people do things in
<v Speaker 4>bars that others won't be What about the law, the
<v Speaker 4>law that joke, as you said, joke. So they go
<v Speaker 4>looking for ideas what are people are allowed to do anymore?
<v Speaker 4>And they see the gay liprecorns in a in a
<v Speaker 4>bar okay. Then they see in Darby o guzlans that
<v Speaker 4>there's a policy of no smoking. They be oh, wait,
<v Speaker 4>had a smoke? He in pumps here anymore? Much like
<v Speaker 4>butt out. Correct. My Ron has clearly been to Ireland
<v Speaker 4>and most says we should open up a smoke easy,
<v Speaker 4>don't make it no, make it so people can come
<v Speaker 4>here a smoke. It's a business. Immediately booze and everyone's happy.
<v Speaker 4>Everyone's saying thank you to Grandpa for doing this pub.
<v Speaker 2>Well duh, it looks like oh your der have come
<v Speaker 2>to ah my son's first stroke. Look at all this
<v Speaker 2>your old dough shamrock. Sure love there, tobaccy.
<v Speaker 1>So it's a smoke keyser, you'ran and then so escape
<v Speaker 1>when you're thinking of then I can't tell them those
<v Speaker 1>are questions or statements, So it's our syntax are criticizing.
<v Speaker 4>Then again, little things like that, like that's just it's
<v Speaker 4>not taking the mickey out of the languages it but
<v Speaker 4>it is.
<v Speaker 1>But it's in a nice way y. Our Irish friends
<v Speaker 1>will refer to Dad as Da.
<v Speaker 4>Sometimes I say to Nickel, whenever she mocks the Aussie accent,
<v Speaker 4>mocks our language, I go, that's weird in it. She
<v Speaker 4>has played that's always fallback, So it's come at syntax.
<v Speaker 4>You're criticizing man. And so they close it down and
<v Speaker 4>put water on the cigarette, so it goes down and
<v Speaker 4>they back him up the air put it in an
<v Speaker 4>evidence bag, which I thought was quite funny, and they
<v Speaker 4>throw them in the US wagon.
<v Speaker 1>That's right, forgot about the paddy wagon. That was good. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>that was good.
<v Speaker 4>At the police station here, I thought you would have
<v Speaker 4>loved this, the in and outsign at the police station.
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's right. Yeah, Well this is a stage where
<v Speaker 1>some troubled times. Well, Colin Farrell was a bit of
<v Speaker 1>a bad boy.
<v Speaker 4>Was this after he was he was dead Bullseye?
<v Speaker 1>Wasn't he bulls?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?
<v Speaker 1>That was earlier in that's like two thousand and three.
<v Speaker 1>It was Bullseye and Dead. A very good performance. You
<v Speaker 1>love that one. Yeah, you just love Colin Farrell. I
<v Speaker 1>like Colin Farrell very much. My buddy Mark in the
<v Speaker 1>States created a show that Farrell started. It's called sugar
<v Speaker 1>and it's on the Apple TV network. Oh yes, indeed,
<v Speaker 1>I just wanted to drop a name there. But no,
<v Speaker 1>I've liked Farrell pretty much from the get go. But
<v Speaker 1>this was around the time I mentioned I mentioned the
<v Speaker 1>Miami Vice movie on the movie guy with Lennon was
<v Speaker 1>not impressed. I'm like, yeah, well bring it around in
<v Speaker 1>my way of thinking, buddy.
<v Speaker 4>But the thing is, Malton didn't grow up in the
<v Speaker 4>era you were a team when Miami.
<v Speaker 1>Vice was on. Well, it's true, but the Miami Vice
<v Speaker 1>Movie is very different to the show.
<v Speaker 4>Okay, not Gonstasky in huch kind of deal.
<v Speaker 1>Not really, No, No, I mean there's no you know,
<v Speaker 1>oh we're doing a techno remix of the iconic Miami
<v Speaker 1>Vice theme or anything like that. There's no cameos by
<v Speaker 1>Don Donson. It's just a name. It's just the name
<v Speaker 1>and and the concept of like these are undercover vice
<v Speaker 1>cops in Miami. Very very good movie, very serious. But yeah,
<v Speaker 1>Farrell's in it. Farrell apparently doesn't really remember making a
<v Speaker 1>lot of it. Oh wow, okay, yeah, yeah, he was
<v Speaker 1>kind of under the influence at the time. I think
<v Speaker 1>it was post It's probably around this era that he
<v Speaker 1>started to steer away from that sort of straighten up
<v Speaker 1>and fly right. It was huge at the time that
<v Speaker 1>my phone booth came out and stuff. Oh yeah, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>I mean I think people saw him and Hollywood saw
<v Speaker 1>him and said, yeah, we can do something with this guy.
<v Speaker 1>You know, he's got a lot of got a lot
<v Speaker 1>of charm, got a lot of energy, is very very sexy,
<v Speaker 1>all that kind of business. But yeah, he liked to
<v Speaker 1>burn it at both ends, and they wanted to make
<v Speaker 1>him do a leading man and he had to step
<v Speaker 1>away for a little while and then come back as like, no,
<v Speaker 1>I can actually act and play like actual characters as
<v Speaker 1>opposed to just be Colin Farrell. But yeah, isn't he
<v Speaker 1>he is the Penguin. Yeah, you get his own film
<v Speaker 1>or something. He's getting his film. He's got his own
<v Speaker 1>serious because he was in The Batman, Sir Robert Pattinson
<v Speaker 1>and got a spin off series, The Seriously that is
<v Speaker 1>it and it's apparently very very good. I haven't seen
<v Speaker 1>it yet, But because he was in another movie, The
<v Speaker 1>Gentleman or something, Yes, the Guy Richie movie The Gym.
<v Speaker 1>Couldn't that Oh yeah, that's what they He doesn't miss often.
<v Speaker 4>Because Marlton mentioned this. Maybe it was a people don't
<v Speaker 4>go to It was kids aren't going to the movies anymore.
<v Speaker 4>Just sake of going to the movies. I'll go watch
<v Speaker 4>a film at the movies, but they're not going to
<v Speaker 4>let's go to the movies.
<v Speaker 1>The Gentleman.
<v Speaker 4>It's one of those films where nickol and I would
<v Speaker 4>have just went out for dinner. We went to the movies, like,
<v Speaker 4>what's the time.
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.
<v Speaker 4>We went there and we sort of looked at me.
<v Speaker 4>We went the Gentleman, what's this about? I was like, go,
<v Speaker 4>Rechi directed it. Let's just check it out. And we
<v Speaker 4>both really enjoyed it, you know, and I just have
<v Speaker 4>that memory of when everything the Gentleman, like, oh, we're
<v Speaker 4>out to dinner. He thought, what's what else can we do?
<v Speaker 4>Let's go to the movies. We had no idea of
<v Speaker 4>what the film was about. We just went in and
<v Speaker 4>enjoyed it.
<v Speaker 1>That's a good way to go.
<v Speaker 4>Because who else was Hugh Grant was also Great Grand Center.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, matthem conaugheyes in it. Yeah, good movie. Yes it's
<v Speaker 1>an okay movie. I don't like it.
<v Speaker 4>We were surprised, like, oh, it's just nice when you
<v Speaker 4>just go into a movie and it says you have
<v Speaker 4>no idea what's gonna be about, you come out going, Well,
<v Speaker 4>that wasn't a waste of my time.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, there's a lot of good stuff in it,
<v Speaker 1>and Colin Farrell is certainly one of that year. But
<v Speaker 1>this was a stage when this episode came out. It's like,
<v Speaker 1>oh yeah, this guy's sort of pushing it.
<v Speaker 4>But they have him as out at the moment that
<v Speaker 4>the wall out is in red, which will make you
<v Speaker 4>assume that he's not in the police station at this
<v Speaker 4>point in time. Yeah, but Grandpa blamed himself for all
<v Speaker 4>this situation.
<v Speaker 1>Folding Homer says, I don't worry.
<v Speaker 4>We'll get out of here somehow because America, where the
<v Speaker 4>New York Yankees of country is powerful respected until about
<v Speaker 4>the year two thousand.
<v Speaker 1>That's true.
<v Speaker 4>I remember as a kid when it came to baseball teams,
<v Speaker 4>the New York Yankees was like everyone had the New
<v Speaker 4>York Yankees' hats onything like that put up a meme.
<v Speaker 1>Recently as well.
<v Speaker 4>I can't really explain why, and people are seeing them
<v Speaker 4>to put it down to the colors, right, But when
<v Speaker 4>it came to the NBA, everyone knew Michael Jordan. Everyone
<v Speaker 4>loved the Chicago Bulls because of Michael Jordan. Was in
<v Speaker 4>space time the dream to he was Michael Jordan. Right,
<v Speaker 4>But every kid wanted to have a Charlotte Hornet's basketball,
<v Speaker 4>right because I just had fucking great colors. It was
<v Speaker 4>the teal and the black and it just now sometimes
<v Speaker 4>you just get mixes of colors and you go, these
<v Speaker 4>just look great together.
<v Speaker 1>Right.
<v Speaker 4>Oh, and you just looked fucking like so many kids
<v Speaker 4>used to walk around with Charlotte hats on all the basketball.
<v Speaker 4>You did never see the basketball game in your life,
<v Speaker 4>but it just looked cool, you know.
<v Speaker 1>And then, as I was saying, we.
<v Speaker 4>Got to a point where all sporting codes just tried
<v Speaker 4>to the mascots couldn't look fun anymore. They had to
<v Speaker 4>look all professional and whatnot. The nineties the AFL logos
<v Speaker 4>to the half cat. You look at the nineties logan
<v Speaker 4>and go, bring this ship back like it was fun.
<v Speaker 4>Now it's also professional. And what's the term where they
<v Speaker 4>try to make minimize everything minimalistic?
<v Speaker 1>No, bring characters back. I agree with you. I mean,
<v Speaker 1>I'm wondering we are what the I think partly's like, oh,
<v Speaker 1>we're trying to be cool. Partly it's like it'd be
<v Speaker 1>good at kids could draw this with a few lines
<v Speaker 1>as possible to have.
<v Speaker 4>But kids aren't trying to draw the Geelong Cat's logo now,
<v Speaker 4>you know, it's just it looks like a puma almost
<v Speaker 4>where the half cat was fucking cool. I want, like,
<v Speaker 4>whenever I wear my retro jumpers that they sell retro jumpers.
<v Speaker 4>Now one of the old school logos to the half cat,
<v Speaker 4>the Gelong mascotso On Football club mascot. Ali looks at
<v Speaker 4>he goes, what's what's that cat? And I said, that's
<v Speaker 4>the logos the guy that you see running around. He goes,
<v Speaker 4>I want one of those ones. I'm like, yes, kids
<v Speaker 4>want this ship people it's fun. Bring fun back to
<v Speaker 4>sports and get it to the gambling. Bring back the fun.
<v Speaker 4>But we're now in the courtroom because they're in trouble
<v Speaker 4>for what they were doing. We're having the smoking in
<v Speaker 4>the bar and he says, you know what, Island you
<v Speaker 4>bought me some of my favorite things. Larry Byrd because
<v Speaker 4>he played for the Boston Selthtic or mister potato Head.
<v Speaker 4>Now where did miss potato Head actually originate? I know
<v Speaker 4>the joke being the potatoes. But but was mister potatoes
<v Speaker 4>and an American? H?
<v Speaker 1>No, I think he was.
<v Speaker 4>He was an American creation, like a has Bro thing.
<v Speaker 4>What was mister potato had discontinued? When was he discontinued?
<v Speaker 1>Oh, he's not called mister Potatohead anymore. He just called
<v Speaker 1>potato head.
<v Speaker 4>He's just yeah, he's gender neutral. Produced by Hasbro since
<v Speaker 4>nineteen fifty two.
<v Speaker 1>Oh was it Hasbro okay? Then? Yeah?
<v Speaker 4>I thought it was Hasbro okay. Yeah, obviously the joke
<v Speaker 4>being potatoes Island And it was a funny reveal though
<v Speaker 4>of the judge looking not mister Potatohead. Of course, I
<v Speaker 4>mean it's wacky, but it's fine. I'm willing to go
<v Speaker 4>with it. And he questions, what who does smoke actually hurt?
<v Speaker 1>You know?
<v Speaker 4>Besides the people are smoking people near them, and the
<v Speaker 4>young born children of the mother's for free on expected
<v Speaker 4>mother's knights, and much like oh Jesus Christ. But their
<v Speaker 4>punishment is deportation and a small fine. Still be fine.
<v Speaker 4>And the judge says that Ireland got a lot nicer
<v Speaker 4>once we sent all the niitmts to America. For some reason,
<v Speaker 4>you guys made the more cops then Wigan walks in
<v Speaker 4>the end, he was kind of Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>It felt dragged out. Yeah, the whole well, the first
<v Speaker 1>gag with him what he met, he messed up with
<v Speaker 1>his gun or something. Yeah, then he got talks into
<v Speaker 1>the phone, but it's actually his taser or something, and
<v Speaker 1>the taser bit just goes on, like but what seems
<v Speaker 1>like infinity?
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, shot is the clothes of the with an Irish
<v Speaker 4>lat tune underneath it.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's right. Overall, though, this was a really nice
<v Speaker 1>tribute to Ireland. I think so I liked it. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>absolutely no, I like I said, I had a lot
<v Speaker 1>of fun with this episode. I had a few good laughs,
<v Speaker 1>like it was helping me to sort of pull out
<v Speaker 1>bits and pieces that I really enjoyed. Although I think
<v Speaker 1>we came up with a few talking about it, but
<v Speaker 1>generally just a good feel of quality all the way through.
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't like, oh my god, that moment was great.
<v Speaker 1>It was just this is just nice. It was good. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>nothing to sort of even like the hot tub story.
<v Speaker 4>We all love hot tubs and didn't drag out too long.
<v Speaker 4>I going into this much like the gentleman. I have
<v Speaker 4>memories of my memories of not liking this episode, right,
<v Speaker 4>memories going on when I was watching something before I
<v Speaker 4>was going to review it, when and going, oh, there's
<v Speaker 4>gonna be a shit one. We had a good one
<v Speaker 4>last week, it's gonna be shit.
<v Speaker 1>And I went, you know what, I had fun, that's good.
<v Speaker 1>That's what you need. Yeah, it's all you need. Indeed.
<v Speaker 4>And it's funny because I read so many reviews of
<v Speaker 4>this episode online and they all just absolutely bash it.
<v Speaker 4>Really no story, what are they doing here? What's that
<v Speaker 4>mister potato head joke? The writer's run out of ideas?
<v Speaker 4>And I'm going I thought they put more efforts to
<v Speaker 4>this one.
<v Speaker 1>Than are we watching the same episode? Yeah, it feels
<v Speaker 1>pretty packed with the good stuff.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I really liked it. So Yeah, In the Name
<v Speaker 4>of the Grandfather an episode that I actually would rewatch,
<v Speaker 4>and I would recommend it if you've listened to a
<v Speaker 4>review of obviously sported. But some people do listen to
<v Speaker 4>this podcast and actually watch the episodes anymore, which is fine,
<v Speaker 4>that's what you do.
<v Speaker 1>But go and watch this one. This one's worth rewatching.

<v Speaker 1>By the way, time for guys nerdy film related shout out.
<v Speaker 1>Oh I like these ones? Yes, this episode is tited
<v Speaker 1>in the Name of the Grand Flower. There was a
<v Speaker 1>film in I believe nineteen ninety three called In the
<v Speaker 1>Name of the Father, starting with Daniel day Lewis and
<v Speaker 1>the late great Pete Postlethwaite. You may remember him from
<v Speaker 1>I think it was Jurassic Packed Lost World. Who was he?
<v Speaker 4>He was like, yes, is he the British guy. Yeah,
<v Speaker 4>he's got the nose, got a big nose.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yeah, not the Bob peck Hunter from the first one.
<v Speaker 1>Not clever good, not clever no no no, But they're
<v Speaker 1>like the sequel version of that guy. Peter Poet, Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>said yeah, yeah, that's the guy. Yeah, very distinctive looking snobs.
<v Speaker 4>He is clever girl in the second movie, he's correct, Yes, yes, yes.
<v Speaker 1>They played father and son in that movie. They were
<v Speaker 1>accused of terrorist activities and went to job based on
<v Speaker 1>true story. Very good movie, very very powerful, good performances
<v Speaker 1>by both actors and Irish. So there we go. That's
<v Speaker 1>the connection.
<v Speaker 4>Yes, well, you wanted to have a love letter, paid
<v Speaker 4>a love letter to Ireland, Alergeen, and I think you
<v Speaker 4>successfully did this.
<v Speaker 1>Indeed. Sorry. The one other thing that yeah, guys film
<v Speaker 1>related nerdy shout out Part two sick apparently as good
<v Speaker 1>as the first. Apparently someone they were looking at or
<v Speaker 1>had possibly signed to the voice of Tom Flannagan was
<v Speaker 1>Kenneth brown Yes, yeah, yeah, who just didn't do it. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>whether he pulled out or just was not involved in
<v Speaker 1>the first place, who knows it? Did sound on the
<v Speaker 1>wiki page about that, Yeah, yes, but Kenneth Browner is
<v Speaker 1>very Irish, well not very Irish, but he's certainly Irish.
<v Speaker 1>And anyway.
<v Speaker 4>In a September two thousand and eight interview, aler Jeane
<v Speaker 4>said that Kenny would guest star as the pub owner
<v Speaker 4>and that he had come to and that he had
<v Speaker 4>come in to record the part. However, he was replaced
<v Speaker 4>by Menie and did not appear in the episode. So
<v Speaker 4>did he go in and record it?
<v Speaker 1>That's you'd be filthy, wouldn't you if you were replaced?
<v Speaker 1>You listen to Kenneth Branner speaking, well, he does all
<v Speaker 1>variety of accents in all manner of movie. He's in
<v Speaker 1>all manner of things. Yeah, not necessarily the most irish
<v Speaker 1>of accents. I mean, I think even if you hear
<v Speaker 1>him speak sort of in every day, everyday voice, it's
<v Speaker 1>kind of like he's got a bit of a drama
<v Speaker 1>school trained accent. That's not even that's not even like
<v Speaker 1>Liam Neeson es where it's kind of like I will
<v Speaker 1>find you and you can tell that's I got irish. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>even when he's doing other accents, Kenneth Branner doesn't necessarily
<v Speaker 1>sound super irish. Maybe that's the thing. Maybe, Yeah, you
<v Speaker 1>who's going to go to? Because Kennon Branner is very
<v Speaker 1>well regarded as yes, who's who in the Simpsons cars
<v Speaker 1>are going to? He? Can you make it up a
<v Speaker 1>bit for it? Can can he be irish?
<v Speaker 3>Please?
<v Speaker 1>Can you pour a little guinness on that? One. You're
<v Speaker 1>from Ireland, I like to say that, you know, when
<v Speaker 1>you're putting, can you put a little hot sauce? And
<v Speaker 1>he could put a mustard on that one. I was like, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>can you pour a little guinness on that one? For
<v Speaker 1>a Kenny? They'd probably like, no, what do You're not
<v Speaker 1>like my voice? So that's interesting. I think that's interesting
<v Speaker 1>that especially they recorded and they didn't use it, or
<v Speaker 1>that he went into record and it didn't happen anyway.
<v Speaker 4>It was actually I'm reading some interesting stuff here on
<v Speaker 4>the wiki page about the promotion for it. So, as
<v Speaker 4>we said earlier, it was the first episode of The
<v Speaker 4>Simpsons to premiere in Europe before airing in the on Fox.
<v Speaker 4>In the States, Previously, new episodes of the show occasionally
<v Speaker 4>aired on the Global Television Network in Canada a half
<v Speaker 4>hour before they add on Fox Global. Similar cars show
<v Speaker 4>from several American networks and Occaional Special Forces forced them
<v Speaker 4>to be pushed to an earlier pushed The Simpsons to
<v Speaker 4>be pushed to an earlier timeslot, but the episode added
<v Speaker 4>seven three pm on Sky One and was paired with
<v Speaker 4>because so when in the States and Sorry in Australia
<v Speaker 4>and the UK, and whatnot. We would get the season's
<v Speaker 4>episodes a lot later in this point in time as well,
<v Speaker 4>two thousand and nine, so that would start in September.
<v Speaker 4>We might i say, at in episodes till February or whatever,
<v Speaker 4>right later on the track. So this one was actually
<v Speaker 4>the season was premier yere sits into his premiering in
<v Speaker 4>the UK when this episode was aired as well, so
<v Speaker 4>it was paired with sex Pies and Idiot Scopes, which
<v Speaker 4>is the first episode of the series of the season
<v Speaker 4>which began with a visit to Saint Patrick's Day, so
<v Speaker 4>they aired the episode first and then added this episode
<v Speaker 4>after all. Vice versa not too short. Also, Al Jean
<v Speaker 4>and Nancy can't right went to the UK to Ireland
<v Speaker 4>to be part of the Saint Patrick's Day parade in
<v Speaker 4>Dublin to promote the episode.
<v Speaker 1>Check out the float here. Here's the photo of the float.
<v Speaker 1>It's pretty cool, isn't it. Oh my goodness, it's the
<v Speaker 1>Simpsons house with the couch there. I love the idea
<v Speaker 1>of just floats, you know, parade and stuff. They don't
<v Speaker 1>even doing enough in Australia anymore. Like extravagant parade. We
<v Speaker 1>don't doing enough in Australia. Do we like the Macy
<v Speaker 1>Day parade.
<v Speaker 4>Where you got the big balloons, something fun to take
<v Speaker 4>the kids.
<v Speaker 1>Too, you know, it's true. Yeah, I mean well in
<v Speaker 1>Geelong we used to have Garla Day. Yeah.
<v Speaker 4>They fucking just got rid of it, that's true. We
<v Speaker 4>have no explanation, just not doing it anymore. When I
<v Speaker 4>was a kid, we had the Garla Parade Gayla Gala
<v Speaker 4>we call it, right, and it was on a Friday.
<v Speaker 4>It was always a Friday. It was the first Friday
<v Speaker 4>November something on those line thing. So yeah, I think
<v Speaker 4>it was the first Friday November. Because the way it
<v Speaker 4>used to work was we have we call the show.
<v Speaker 4>It's the fair right long show. Yes, And what used
<v Speaker 4>to happen at the garb Parade. It was usually the
<v Speaker 4>week after the show and they would have some of
<v Speaker 4>the rise down at the beach and it was basically
<v Speaker 4>the show, but it was free entry and it was
<v Speaker 4>a lot cheaper, right, So it was the show for
<v Speaker 4>families who couldn't afford to go to the actual show.
<v Speaker 1>You're making me kind of sado. We don't do this
<v Speaker 1>yet anymore, and.
<v Speaker 4>Now they've just gone no, if you want to go,
<v Speaker 4>take your kids to the show. Now you're going to
<v Speaker 4>go to the actual show. Pay fifty dollars entry plus
<v Speaker 4>for your family. I think it cost the seventy five
<v Speaker 4>dollars just to get into the show.
<v Speaker 1>Right.
<v Speaker 4>It used to be free on the fucking beach for
<v Speaker 4>familiesho couldn't afford it, right, We used to look out
<v Speaker 4>for the little guys. Now they took that shit away,
<v Speaker 4>put in fucking bike lanes. Fuck this town man, Look, wow,
<v Speaker 4>just why can't Why are you making things not fun?
<v Speaker 1>I know, yeah, it's looked tough times all around. Of
<v Speaker 1>course it's all about the money.
<v Speaker 4>But we used to have a par you'd go there,
<v Speaker 4>you'd have the day off from school, you'd fucking get
<v Speaker 4>there eleven o'clock. You'd be you'd be part of the parade.
<v Speaker 4>Sometimes you'd be loving it. You'd have big people in
<v Speaker 4>the mascot's outfits and there'd be actual floats.
<v Speaker 1>It'd be fun. And after that you go down to
<v Speaker 1>the show on the beach for free, and you can
<v Speaker 1>have fun with your friends after that ship anymore. It
<v Speaker 1>really was the best of times. It was. It was
<v Speaker 1>a really, really good time to do a theme park
<v Speaker 1>on the beach. Man highlight Park. That place was kind
<v Speaker 1>of sketchy. You always feel like you're taking a life
<v Speaker 1>in your head.
<v Speaker 4>But still, man, this just keeps sucking the light. I mean,
<v Speaker 4>we're getting playgrounds and stuff. That's fine, but just bring
<v Speaker 4>back the parade and.
<v Speaker 1>Make it fun again. We are sucking the color and
<v Speaker 1>fun out of just about everything these days. We could,
<v Speaker 1>we can do a whole episode and ran just about
<v Speaker 1>how you know, life is just about optimizing and grind
<v Speaker 1>set and all that kind of bullshit these days. But
<v Speaker 1>let's not.
<v Speaker 4>It wasn't just by the way, it wasn't just Algaier
<v Speaker 4>and Nancy cart Right. James Brooks James Olbrooks also joined
<v Speaker 4>them as part of the parade. The episode was screened
<v Speaker 4>at the Lighthouse Cinema in Dublin on March sixteenth, to
<v Speaker 4>day before ad on TV. In addition, Homer was announced
<v Speaker 4>as the special guest editor of the March edition of
<v Speaker 4>Sky Magazine. To promote the episode in the States, several
<v Speaker 4>people dressed as Marge visited pubs in various major cities
<v Speaker 4>on March seventeenth and gave away codes for free cell
<v Speaker 4>phone ring tones and wallpaper Wow cell phone ring Tones.
<v Speaker 4>A clip from the episode was played all day on
<v Speaker 4>the JumboTron screen in Times Square, New York City. So
<v Speaker 4>they went all out of this episode.
<v Speaker 1>Didn't they. They really did.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and at least they came through with a quality episode.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they did. It'd have been a disappointing episode then, well,
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I guess some people were disappointed by it
<v Speaker 1>according to these inaccurate.
<v Speaker 4>Incorrect reviews lithering idiots.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, indeed.
<v Speaker 4>But before in the Name of the Grandfather aired as well,
<v Speaker 4>Irish bookmaker Patti Power.
<v Speaker 1>What a great name, Paddy Power. That just sounds like
<v Speaker 1>a slogan. It sounds like a porn star. Oh yeah,
<v Speaker 1>we'll get drilled by Patti Power, the Irish cousin of
<v Speaker 1>Max Power. He'll bring the g's.
<v Speaker 4>So he started taking bets on what would happen in
<v Speaker 4>the episode. It offered odds on things such as which
<v Speaker 4>Irish phrase Homer would use, first number of viewers, and
<v Speaker 4>which Irish star would make a cameo appearance.
<v Speaker 1>Well done.
<v Speaker 4>What on Patti Power? He's actually got his own wiki page?
<v Speaker 4>Do I dare look ut Patty Power?
<v Speaker 1>Looking?
<v Speaker 4>I feel like I have to book maker Patty Power.
<v Speaker 4>Patty Power is an Irish game. It's Irish gaming. Patty
<v Speaker 4>Power's a company. Ah, it makes me sad, so.
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was a slogan. It's true, it is
<v Speaker 1>that there'd be a dude.
<v Speaker 4>Named Patty Power found it in nineteen eighty eight. I
<v Speaker 4>mean I wish I had to clicked on that now,
<v Speaker 4>wish I had have been wrong. It's I always love that,
<v Speaker 4>the idea of a guy out there just like I'm
<v Speaker 4>Patty Power.
<v Speaker 1>Murder. Comrade Dano's literally did fall a little bit. Well,
<v Speaker 1>it was sad.
<v Speaker 4>It was.
<v Speaker 1>Like you open up a Christmas present in got socks.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but that's now I'm happy. Oh yeah, I goalkd
<v Speaker 4>through KM up now and I'm like, oh socks, oh yeah,
<v Speaker 4>I have.
<v Speaker 1>I've had to make a literal put the brakes on. Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>I was like too many socks. Oh yeah yeah. I
<v Speaker 1>was looking at my sock drawings like it's full. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>I've had to take some of the mountain. Yep. Some
<v Speaker 1>have been thrown away, but some are like I love
<v Speaker 1>you too much, You're just going down to the bea drawing.
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to love you for more now. Oh yeah,
<v Speaker 1>I need to get a new jar. I always thought
<v Speaker 1>that was like an urban myth. I never knew anyone,
<v Speaker 1>and I was at a boarding school who jackedon. Never
<v Speaker 1>knew anyone who jacked into a sock. I knew one
<v Speaker 1>kid that did it. Yeah, weird, not weird, not weird.
<v Speaker 1>I mean whatever gets you through the night. Yeah, but yeah,
<v Speaker 1>not nearly as common as say The American Pie and
<v Speaker 1>its sequels would have you believe. So that is other
<v Speaker 1>story of Paddy Power with some weird detours. What do
<v Speaker 1>we learn? Bomb would you learn?
<v Speaker 4>Because I learned that Patty Power is not a porn
<v Speaker 4>star drilling people Patty company.
<v Speaker 1>I learned that the nineteen seventy nine a Galway Hurdle
<v Speaker 1>was just a massive disappointment on all fronts. Ross day forward,
<v Speaker 1>your name will.
