Once Upon A Time In Springfield (S21E10)

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

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

<v Speaker 4>Krusty here where So Princess Pinelope is talking about how
<v Speaker 4>she used to like watching Crusty on the specific station
<v Speaker 4>and he's like, oh yeah, there's a fat station. Manager's like,
<v Speaker 4>that's my dad. Great guy.
<v Speaker 2>Crusty is no dummy.
<v Speaker 4>I'll like to debait and switch of Crusty in the
<v Speaker 4>water at the end, so you think, oh, he's staying
<v Speaker 4>next to on the bridge and he's not there. I'm like, oh, no,
<v Speaker 4>he's in the water's bolt, he's falling off the boat.
<v Speaker 4>And finally Homer here when bart is talking about women
<v Speaker 4>ruining everything and Hamah says, you say that now, but
<v Speaker 4>when you're older, you'll just think it.
<v Speaker 2>It's yes, it is actually very true unless you're a podcast.
<v Speaker 2>As I mentioned before, I like when Ann Hathaway sort
<v Speaker 2>of puts on the blue collar voice. I thought that
<v Speaker 2>was good and I thought this was quite an app line.
<v Speaker 2>If new writers knew how to abuld girls, they wouldn't
<v Speaker 2>be Next question you there eating the.
<v Speaker 4>Beast trivia time. My first question for you is what
<v Speaker 4>was Lenny's id badge name a fake one?
<v Speaker 2>Was it? Some have been lazy, some have been sleeping,
<v Speaker 2>some have been sleeping. I think some have been lazies.
<v Speaker 2>Might be him a bit better.
<v Speaker 4>But it's been as in bean, some as bean lazy.
<v Speaker 4>So it's being as opposed to bean. Depends on bean
<v Speaker 4>or bean. Yeah, yeahah, both ways.
<v Speaker 2>Margin makes donuts. What is the missing rainbow sprinkle? That
<v Speaker 2>would be violet? That is correct.
<v Speaker 4>My next question for you is in what year did
<v Speaker 4>Look magazine say Krusty is one of the one hundred
<v Speaker 4>most promising clowns.
<v Speaker 2>Oh, nineteen eighty two, it's fifty eight, fifty eight. How
<v Speaker 2>old is Krusty? That's a good question.
<v Speaker 4>Now I don't really I suppose that would make Crusty
<v Speaker 4>like mid fifties. At this point is yeah.
<v Speaker 2>I get the feling. You probably realy know this. It
<v Speaker 2>may be one of your questions. But what is the
<v Speaker 2>name of the TV station in Mineola, Long Island? Oh?

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

<v Speaker 4>touching on early, this is where you see her on
<v Speaker 4>the phone using her Southern accent. Wasn't well long Island
<v Speaker 4>long long, of course, long Island accent. Crusty bursts in
<v Speaker 4>and says, I'm the scene still here. You're just the
<v Speaker 4>reason people tune in. And this is where she admits
<v Speaker 4>that she loves him. She's just all over him. She's
<v Speaker 4>loved him since she was twelve years old when she
<v Speaker 4>was watching him on WDQT, which had the fat station
<v Speaker 4>manager great guy, because it was her dad and she
<v Speaker 4>says she had the Crusty club ring. She says, well,
<v Speaker 4>she wasn't very popular at school because she was more
<v Speaker 4>beautiful and talented than everybody else, and she gives them
<v Speaker 4>a big old kiss. This we're pretty dirty gay here
<v Speaker 4>they're stuck into the story with the flower and the
<v Speaker 4>water squirting out of the low. I was like, not that.
<v Speaker 4>Also a good line from Krusty there was like, I
<v Speaker 4>work like I drink alone, Yes, because mister teeny's watching
<v Speaker 4>him though, because he's only there. He's putting on to
<v Speaker 4>his side when he's drinking. Now we cut back and
<v Speaker 4>Crusty has turned a new if. It's now the Krusty
<v Speaker 4>and Princess Panalope smoochy Pooh, I love you Our no laughs,
<v Speaker 4>just hugs and cuddles, and the boys are like, what
<v Speaker 4>the hell is going on here?
<v Speaker 2>Kind of goes back to what Marge was saying earlier.
<v Speaker 2>But I think, yeah, comedy is good when people are
<v Speaker 2>nice to each other.
<v Speaker 4>Yes, and Millhouse says, don't worry mister teen He has
<v Speaker 4>a flaming arrow and turns out he's just doing it
<v Speaker 4>to shoot a love heart fire, and it says French,
<v Speaker 4>what does it say? It says to Lamore, which is
<v Speaker 4>love forever, Love forever in the French diction, Oh man,
<v Speaker 4>what is going on here? And he sings a song
<v Speaker 4>to the parody of this soul man. But it's basically
<v Speaker 4>I've finally got a girlfriend under thirty three. DiCaprio is
<v Speaker 4>twenty five, isn't he?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, although apparently his current girlfriend has just doned twenty six.
<v Speaker 4>No way, time a day's in number.
<v Speaker 2>Or maybe the cycle has been broken.
<v Speaker 4>Maybe yes, and Lisa I love it also too. I
<v Speaker 4>mean it's horrible, but it doesn't even hide away from it.
<v Speaker 4>It's like everyone says, it's just a rule. It's like,
<v Speaker 4>that's the joke. That's the joke. He's got a rule.
<v Speaker 2>It's like, no, but like he seems to stick to
<v Speaker 2>this rule. Oh yeah, they always say. It's like, oh,
<v Speaker 2>the age of which you become famous is kind of
<v Speaker 2>the age at which you are stuck. Okay, you become
<v Speaker 2>frozen them. That's why my so many child stars just
<v Speaker 2>to become a real mess.
<v Speaker 4>Okay, yeah, because their maturity levels never yeah, okay, fair enough.
<v Speaker 4>But then Lisa sings the song as well, but he
<v Speaker 4>unplugs the TV. He's just not a fan of.
<v Speaker 2>This at all.
<v Speaker 4>Lisaer gives a talk at school that Princess ann and
<v Speaker 4>all the girls now dresses princesses doing all their talks,
<v Speaker 4>and this is where we get the moment that gets
<v Speaker 4>memed a lot now, especially Abound made the fourth of
<v Speaker 4>Ralph dressed as Princess Lea, saying I'm a star Wars.
<v Speaker 2>I did not like it.
<v Speaker 4>I didn't like it.
<v Speaker 2>Why not? I just feel it's more dumb ass Ralph stuff.
<v Speaker 2>I'm getting really sick of the way they use Ralph.
<v Speaker 4>Ralph's just got no substance at all, hasn't he. Yeah,
<v Speaker 4>he's just there to say something stupid. Yeah, but it's
<v Speaker 4>been like that since since. I mean they really they
<v Speaker 4>dumbed him down to this level really early on. Yeah,
<v Speaker 4>I'm talking like maybe like season eight nine. He was
<v Speaker 4>he was already at this point.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, long away from Chu Chu choose me.
<v Speaker 4>Yes, Indeed, the guys are now getting massages and they're
<v Speaker 4>getting free sushi through the face hole, just having the
<v Speaker 4>time of their lives. Why Smithers there?
<v Speaker 2>What have I written? Wait? What the Smither's doing that? Yeah?
<v Speaker 4>This isn't just some random health club. This is surely
<v Speaker 4>the power Plants health Club. Right, Yeah, I was so
<v Speaker 4>confused by that, Like, why Smithers there? I thought it
<v Speaker 4>was going to be I thought the undercut when I
<v Speaker 4>saw Smithers, I thought it was going to be, Oh
<v Speaker 4>my god, the recruited Smithers too. And he doesn't want
<v Speaker 4>them to know because this is the thing they don't know,
<v Speaker 4>so that they think that Smithers doesn't know they're being recruited,
<v Speaker 4>and the Smithers would not know that them are being recruits.
<v Speaker 4>That would actually be a fun story of them trying
<v Speaker 4>to avoid each other.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, classic Shenanigans. Classic.
<v Speaker 4>There was definitely an entire episode with this story, I think,
<v Speaker 4>if you wanted it to be.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.
<v Speaker 4>But then he called mister Burns and says, the heart
<v Speaker 4>of our tugger War team, even though it's the year
<v Speaker 4>that's going to be, they're going to be scattered. So
<v Speaker 4>he says, the reason they're doing this is because they've
<v Speaker 4>they've cut back on donuts. He says, I think what
<v Speaker 4>I can do, and this is why that's what I
<v Speaker 4>hate about Burns.
<v Speaker 2>He thinks, and he.
<v Speaker 4>Rubs his head, shaves his head in, and then blows
<v Speaker 4>it back out again by going I'm like stupid.
<v Speaker 2>I hate that.
<v Speaker 4>It's one of my biggest pet peeves of the Simpsons
<v Speaker 4>is the first shit with his body doing shit that
<v Speaker 4>I shouldn't. The boys are now hating the new love
<v Speaker 4>Field show and Krusty is sick of this woman though
<v Speaker 4>he's sick of this woman not being married to him.
<v Speaker 4>So will you be my princess bride?
<v Speaker 2>O that line? Princess bride?
<v Speaker 4>She obviously agrees, and then Milhasse says, you know, it's
<v Speaker 4>easy for a wedding to go wrong and buckets an idea,
<v Speaker 4>and he proposes that they team up to ruin the wedding.
<v Speaker 2>This is all.
<v Speaker 4>Happening so fast. Let's call my mum together. Now, the
<v Speaker 4>guys are leaving the power planted Homer leaves before he
<v Speaker 4>has a melt down himself. Before we get too emotional,
<v Speaker 4>Karl says, if I didn't have to work here, we
<v Speaker 4>would have been friends, and then he turns off the power,
<v Speaker 4>which turns off the power for the city, turns it
<v Speaker 4>back on. Then Burns is in the car park and
<v Speaker 4>he pleads to them. He offers him a donut as
<v Speaker 4>a going away present, and an old fashioned one made
<v Speaker 4>the old fashioned way with dose sweetened with Cuban sugar
<v Speaker 4>from pre Batista plantation. Then it's deep fried in the
<v Speaker 4>tallow of three different animals, two of which are now extinct.
<v Speaker 2>He's really selling it. It made me feel like a donut
<v Speaker 2>I won't lie. I am just not a donut guy. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>you know. He just some things you love and something
<v Speaker 2>you don't.
<v Speaker 4>I've never I've never eaten a donut and gone that
<v Speaker 4>was fucking amazing. I've always I enjoy them, but not
<v Speaker 4>enough to want more.
<v Speaker 2>The really good donuts that I've had have been good
<v Speaker 2>enough to make me go on the search for like
<v Speaker 2>continuing that high. And there haven't been that many, but
<v Speaker 2>the ones that I have been really good. Do you
<v Speaker 2>prefer filled ones or filed Okay, jam donuts are great,
<v Speaker 2>hot jam on a cold winternight, absolutely, yeah, get a
<v Speaker 2>bag of the footy.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, the fresh ones, absolutely, straight out of the deep fryer.
<v Speaker 2>One of the dripping on your fingers when you when
<v Speaker 2>you're holding it. Unfortunately, we have reached oh maybe not
<v Speaker 2>so much now, but there certainly was a stagehere. It's
<v Speaker 2>like extreme donuts where it's like with burgers as well.
<v Speaker 2>You know, sometimes you'll see it's like that burger shouldn't
<v Speaker 2>be tall, they should be wide. Yeah yeah, because I
<v Speaker 2>can't eat it like that. Yeah, but where they have
<v Speaker 2>to have two hands on the side like that. Yeah yeah, yeah,
<v Speaker 2>that's that's fantastic. But and like I was, we've done,
<v Speaker 2>it's like, oh, you're putting too much stuff on top
<v Speaker 2>all you're feeling it with too much stuff. And when
<v Speaker 2>I take a book there's too many variants now as well,
<v Speaker 2>well know they can never be up there and stand. Yeah.
<v Speaker 4>Well, it's like I'm trying to say, fancied it up
<v Speaker 4>too much. It's called like beer, all these craft beer.
<v Speaker 2>Isn't that right?
<v Speaker 4>Because I went to we went out for a birthday
<v Speaker 4>on Friday night and my old man and happy birthday
<v Speaker 4>to my dad, Happy birthday to patron Saint Acadamen as
<v Speaker 4>well recently.

<v Speaker 4>Roddy said, it sounds like a rod Yeah, and it
<v Speaker 4>looks like you're wanting a baseball uniform in the picture.
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, he's a baseballer. So but I could be
<v Speaker 2>here's the thing. Yeah, I assumed it was common knowledge.
<v Speaker 2>I'm pretty sure that Queen Latifa is gay. Okay, And
<v Speaker 2>but here's here's something though. Apparently, back in two thousand
<v Speaker 2>and one, Alex Rodriguez promised.
<v Speaker 4>She's never publicly labeled her sexuality. Apparently, okay, she's been
<v Speaker 4>in a long term relationship with Ebony Nichols since twenty thirteen.
<v Speaker 4>Has an increasingly referenced her partner of family in public,
<v Speaker 4>including thanking her at the twenty twenty one be Et
<v Speaker 4>Awards event.
<v Speaker 2>You go, Queen yes A Rod recently recently disappointed rapper
<v Speaker 2>Queen Latifa when he promised each op at her birthday
<v Speaker 2>party and then skipped it. Oh, this sounds like Elliott
<v Speaker 2>and Holly behaviors. It you're going to make birthday Bertie
<v Speaker 2>ah Man.
<v Speaker 4>Okay, let's Queen the Teeth fort apparently, Well, let's join.
<v Speaker 2>Let's there's one more to add to the list. Chrostelope
<v Speaker 2>christ Allopey.
<v Speaker 4>Yes, it's Krusty's fifteenth marriage and her first. For her
<v Speaker 4>she's not actually a princess. Her real name is Penelope
<v Speaker 4>mount Batton Habsburg Howen Zolan Mulan Pocahontas.
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I guess that's the joke. Yep.
<v Speaker 4>Now it's time for the wedding at the country club.
<v Speaker 4>There's got the guy dresses up as a horse like
<v Speaker 4>the head and the ass, and they separate and sit
<v Speaker 4>on the other side of the of the wedding. Then
<v Speaker 4>we have his so Krusty's dad is the rabbi he
<v Speaker 4>hid at the wedding, says the wedding between the Jew
<v Speaker 4>and the Congregationalist. That's a real thing, as he says,
<v Speaker 4>But the whole thing seems to be that we don't
<v Speaker 4>see him say this, but like, Krusty's dad doesn't approve
<v Speaker 4>of this wedding, but it's like, let's continue with this
<v Speaker 4>mockery and then they dance and happy when their wedding
<v Speaker 4>doesn't work and things that. Yeah, but Bart has now
<v Speaker 4>got rid of teeny. He's now going to be the
<v Speaker 4>ring boy. And he introduces Holy Hippie, who was his
<v Speaker 4>first wife. He wouldn't let her watch the moon landing
<v Speaker 4>because he was jealous of Armstrong. And he shows the
<v Speaker 4>last wife, which is Eartha Kit and she recorded this
<v Speaker 4>before her untommely death. And oh, they actually say that
<v Speaker 4>on this on the episode, don't they. Yeah, she records
<v Speaker 4>before her untimely death. Yeah, because that's obviously happened in
<v Speaker 4>real life. So maybe they had to reference that in
<v Speaker 4>the episodes of viewers going, hey, isn't she gone? Yeah,
<v Speaker 4>so they only married six hours and he was asleep
<v Speaker 4>four five. Maybe they had to do that if I'm
<v Speaker 4>thinking because she'd passed away, they couldn't have her appearance.
<v Speaker 2>They had to be a pre recorded message.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, who knows. They only married six hours. For five
<v Speaker 4>of those hours he was asleep and the other hour
<v Speaker 4>was a catastrophe. And because she us catwoman and then
<v Speaker 4>Princess Penelope is blown away by how little this bothers her,
<v Speaker 4>and Chrusty says, look, unfortunately, we can't get married. The
<v Speaker 4>kid and his little ugly sister are right referencing Millhouse.
<v Speaker 4>He says he can't disappoint her, even though she doesn't
<v Speaker 4>care about He's bowling ali shoe spray addiction and things
<v Speaker 4>like that, and he says she's the only one that
<v Speaker 4>he cares enough about to leave at the altar, and
<v Speaker 4>she says, we'll always have sidecho Mel's dressing room and
<v Speaker 4>Nobody's dance because of the whening's are happening. And that's
<v Speaker 4>the end of the wedding. Yeah, cuts to Penelope now
<v Speaker 4>singing Moon River in France to Tintin and the company.
<v Speaker 4>The other character's name, that's Captain Haddock.
<v Speaker 2>That's it. Yep, she is on a bridge, by the way,
<v Speaker 2>Blieve Tintin is actually Belgium, not French.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, she's watching a boat go under the bridge as
<v Speaker 4>she's standing.
<v Speaker 2>On and don't check that in case Tintin fans come for.
<v Speaker 4>Me, and she sees a pretty weird mistake to make.
<v Speaker 4>She sees Christy Krusty in the reflection on the bridge.
<v Speaker 4>She thinks he's next to her, but no, it turns
<v Speaker 4>out he's actually under the water. He comes up, he
<v Speaker 4>fell off the boat, and he says he would rather
<v Speaker 4>be a happy schnook than a noble shlump, and they
<v Speaker 4>float away together as the unicorn goes past the moon,
<v Speaker 4>thanking us for twenty years of loves and the best
<v Speaker 4>are yet to come.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I enjoyed this one.
<v Speaker 4>It's not the best episode. I wouldn't say it's like
<v Speaker 4>five most essential ones either. I really enjoyed it, though,
<v Speaker 4>but there's definitely two better episodes within this if they
<v Speaker 4>chose to go down that avenue.
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to dial back some of my initial vitriol. Man,
<v Speaker 2>I was angry, but maybe I was angry. Maybe I
<v Speaker 2>needed a snickers. Yeah, I'm feeling a bit better now,
<v Speaker 2>I'm feeling a little more mellow. I said, Look, this
<v Speaker 2>is still faulty You're like, I fucking hated it. It's
<v Speaker 2>faulty in conception and execution. It's got some okay bits
<v Speaker 2>in it. It could have been so much better to
<v Speaker 2>quote my frustrating part when you know they could be better. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>to quote my parents. I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, we said that's quote. Asking this podcast later, what
