Lisa The Drama Queen (S20E09)

<v Speaker 1>Lisa, do you want to be best friends? Gosh, this
<v Speaker 1>is all happening so fast.
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what to say, so yes, so yes,
<v Speaker 2>I loved you. Whoa good night, Lisa, I have a
<v Speaker 2>best friend. You heard me say that, didn't you?
<v Speaker 1>I did.
<v Speaker 2>We're still cool, all right? We are? My best friend
<v Speaker 2>is so cool? Four finger discount dude.
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to four figure discount. Why this week we're here
<v Speaker 1>to review a confusing episode of the Simpsons. It is
<v Speaker 1>not Lisa the beauty Queen. It is Lisa the drama Queen.
<v Speaker 2>I'm Dando and I'm guy, and much like this episode,
<v Speaker 2>I am confused and confusing that Lisa the drama Queen
<v Speaker 2>wa all over the place, and not in a good way.
<v Speaker 1>Well, I watched this right and we got a good
<v Speaker 1>ten minutes into it, and I just had in my notes,
<v Speaker 1>I don't exactly know what I'm watching, what the point
<v Speaker 1>of this is. It just feels so boring. I can imagine.
<v Speaker 1>But what I try to do now when I do
<v Speaker 1>reviews is I imagine myself watching it. And also if Elliott
<v Speaker 1>were watching this, because it seems it's supposed to be
<v Speaker 1>for adults and for kids. Sure, and I'm finding more
<v Speaker 1>and more recently it seems to be the rise of
<v Speaker 1>write the show for themselves, not necessarily the kids watching
<v Speaker 1>the show right, And I'm thinking Elliott would find this
<v Speaker 1>so boring. There is just nothing here. This Juliet character
<v Speaker 1>has just come out of absolutely nowhere. Emily Blunt apparently
<v Speaker 1>did the voice, which I was very surprised by. I was, indeed,
<v Speaker 1>I'm just going, who is this voice? Like, what is
<v Speaker 1>this accent? It just is British, so she is.
<v Speaker 2>But this is not Emily Blunt's usual voice.
<v Speaker 1>No, this sounded like a Simpsons cast. Mean, we're trying
<v Speaker 1>to do a British accent, I thought. And I'm watching
<v Speaker 1>this going I can't get emotionally invested in this. And
<v Speaker 1>what I what I've sort of realized is I think
<v Speaker 1>the reason I was getting baffled and not annoyed but
<v Speaker 1>just confused, was that I think they rushed the story
<v Speaker 1>too much, and they expected you to have all this
<v Speaker 1>emotional investment. At least they're having a new best friend.
<v Speaker 1>It was happening too fast. They kept and they kept
<v Speaker 1>beinging up, this is happening so fast, This is happening
<v Speaker 1>so fast. That was their crush of saying we're rushing
<v Speaker 1>this story.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, or an alternative way of looking at that is
<v Speaker 2>that first rush of sort of platonic love that can
<v Speaker 2>almost have an aspect of romantic love to it. Ah
<v Speaker 2>and yeah, a feeling like, Wow, I've found someone who's
<v Speaker 2>very in sync with me, very sympatico. It's that stepbrother's line, Wow,
<v Speaker 2>did we just become best friend?
<v Speaker 1>Yep, well best friend's romantic friend. That first realization is
<v Speaker 1>very special, it certainly. I mean.
<v Speaker 2>One of the notes that I took about this, and
<v Speaker 2>it was early on, maybe around the same time that
<v Speaker 2>you're thinking of, and that I think sort of was
<v Speaker 2>the core of the episode was it's always nice when
<v Speaker 2>you discover someone into the same shit as you. And
<v Speaker 2>this I'm going way back in the time there, but
<v Speaker 2>particularly in the pre Enginet era, you know. I mean,
<v Speaker 2>one of the first things that you know, we really
<v Speaker 2>enjoyed about the net when it came online was like,
<v Speaker 2>wait a minute, you like Blade Runner as well. I mean,
<v Speaker 2>that's a really sort of weird example to use because
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people like Blade Running, but you know,
<v Speaker 2>for a while, and particularly if you're in not necessarily
<v Speaker 2>in a big city or something like that, to discover.
<v Speaker 2>It's like, oh, wait a minute, there are people into
<v Speaker 2>the same shit that I am. And but when you
<v Speaker 2>meet someone like that in the wild. I've told this
<v Speaker 2>story before about you know, one night I was out
<v Speaker 2>at the nightclub just talking to some dude and we
<v Speaker 2>started talking about movies.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it started talking about stuff that I thought was
<v Speaker 2>like fucking Ark of the Covenant. No one's ever heard
<v Speaker 2>of this shit. And he's like, oh no, that's a
<v Speaker 2>really great movie. You know what, else as good as
<v Speaker 2>this guy?
<v Speaker 1>It is really good, you know what.
<v Speaker 2>No, it's like that meme where the guy in the
<v Speaker 2>corner said nobody knows that I'm such and such and
<v Speaker 2>while everyone's just having a party. But yeah, we ended
<v Speaker 2>up talking about movies, and I was like, that's kind
<v Speaker 2>of what this felt like. It's like, wow, am I
<v Speaker 2>getting drunk not just off the booze behind the bar,
<v Speaker 2>but on this guy's company whose name I don't remember,
<v Speaker 2>who I never saw.
<v Speaker 1>Again, but you remember him forever? Oh yeah, I.
<v Speaker 2>Remember him because just a bad feeling of like, wait
<v Speaker 2>a minute, you like this as well? Or wow, we're
<v Speaker 2>talking the same language in a room full of people
<v Speaker 2>who are who are not predator.
<v Speaker 1>It was the same as when you go on a
<v Speaker 1>holiday with your family and a caravan parking is a
<v Speaker 1>kid that you just make friends with, and you go,
<v Speaker 1>I know, we're never going to see each other after
<v Speaker 1>this trip, but you're best friends forever. Yeah, oh yeah.
<v Speaker 1>What do they call it in.
<v Speaker 2>Fire club? Single serving friends? When you're next to some
<v Speaker 2>person on a plane and you I'm having a perfectly
<v Speaker 2>nice conversation.
<v Speaker 1>Well, yeah, yeah, that's exactly it. But this is based
<v Speaker 1>on a film. It is based on a film.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's drawing inspiration from a film called Heavenly Creatures
<v Speaker 2>from I think nineteen ninety four.
<v Speaker 1>It's apparently Kate Winslet's first film.
<v Speaker 2>Certainly may be the first feature film, maybe not a
<v Speaker 2>first acting role, but also the first definitely the first
<v Speaker 2>film and maybe a first acting role for an actor
<v Speaker 2>named Melanie Lynsky, who is quite well known these days.
<v Speaker 2>She's on Yellow JACKETSSS.
<v Speaker 1>Kate When's in their feature film debut? Feature film debut.
<v Speaker 2>I think Kate wins would have been on a bit
<v Speaker 2>of English TV prior to this, but this really.
<v Speaker 1>Made her a star.
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, it's written and directed by Peter Jackson of
<v Speaker 2>the Lord of the Lord of the Rings fame.
<v Speaker 1>For me though as a nineties kid, when you say
<v Speaker 1>Peter Jackson, it's not meanly get lord. No, no, you
<v Speaker 1>Peter Jackson. Peter Jackson. Is he like a big and
<v Speaker 1>tall like the actual director Peter Jackson.
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, like like I don't know clothing, I
<v Speaker 2>have no idea for Peter Jackson. Yeah, I was wondering
<v Speaker 2>who it was, like Fletcher Giants is like quality men's tailoring, ye,
<v Speaker 2>or if it was like, hey for the for the
<v Speaker 2>slightly bigger dude, you for husky dudes.
<v Speaker 1>I thought Peter Jackson reminds me of kind of like
<v Speaker 1>a country road kind of via Peter Jackson.
<v Speaker 2>I'll get where you're coming from.
<v Speaker 1>Not not target, but also not yes fancy fancy not
<v Speaker 1>fancy pants. Yes, you can't get fancy pants. You can't
<v Speaker 1>get fancy pants anyway.
<v Speaker 2>But Heavenly Creatures is based on the true story about
<v Speaker 2>these two young women I believe in New Zealand who yeah,
<v Speaker 2>per formed this very tired bond. Yeah, with the best
<v Speaker 2>of friends, maybe even lovers, who knows.
<v Speaker 1>But I was wondering whether that this story was going
<v Speaker 1>to get interesting go down that one much is going.
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking in my head, this is either going to
<v Speaker 1>be this Juliet is imaginary, or they're going to fall
<v Speaker 1>in love and LEAs gonna have her first lesbian sort
<v Speaker 1>of feelings. Didn't do either. It's very disappointed.
<v Speaker 2>It's from YSA storyline.
<v Speaker 1>I'll give you the Google description. Basically, it's just teenagers,
<v Speaker 1>Pauline and Juliet. Oh so Juliet's the same, yeah name
<v Speaker 1>all right, bond over a love of fantasy and literature.
<v Speaker 1>They conspire to kill one of the girls mothers when
<v Speaker 1>he tries to end the girl's intense and obsessive relationship. Okay,
<v Speaker 1>so now it makes sense knowing that. Yeah, still, what
<v Speaker 1>an odd thing to parody.
<v Speaker 2>It's an odd thing to parody because look, it was
<v Speaker 2>a well regarded movie at the time, and I think
<v Speaker 2>it's sort of Peter Jackson before this was Knownver is
<v Speaker 2>really sort of gory, splatstick horror movies.
<v Speaker 1>It was the Muppet one he did The Feeble Feebles
<v Speaker 1>and The Bad Taste, The Taste Come.
<v Speaker 2>Under and one either called brain Dead or Dead Alive.
<v Speaker 1>Dead a life great, incredibly gory.
<v Speaker 2>And this is kind of oh no, he can handle
<v Speaker 2>things in a bit more of a serious vein can
<v Speaker 2>work with act as well. Yeah, give him a lot
<v Speaker 2>of the rings.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think they were when they start production in
<v Speaker 1>those films would have been late nineties.
<v Speaker 2>Like ninety nine or something like that.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, no, no, no, no, eight. But he made
<v Speaker 2>his way. I mean this was I think Heavenly Creatures
<v Speaker 2>was distributed by Miramax, so I think it probably got
<v Speaker 2>an Oscar.
<v Speaker 1>For New Zealand. Film. Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>Biographical, good movie, yeah, yeah, but as you're saying, an
<v Speaker 2>odd choice to parody because it's not necessarily that well
<v Speaker 2>known and the storyline doesn't really lend itself to a
<v Speaker 2>half hour animated comedy. But that core idea, as I said,
<v Speaker 2>of finding someone that you're very, very in sync with
<v Speaker 2>and instantly becoming best brands, even though the foundation of
<v Speaker 2>that is kind of Yeah, this weird fantasy world that
<v Speaker 2>they create and bond over and we create together and
<v Speaker 2>bond over and almost become consumed by.
<v Speaker 1>It got old so fast, it really did.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and they couldn't find a way to resolve that.
<v Speaker 2>Now it will turn it into anything all that interesting.
<v Speaker 1>I'm watching this going, is this just the animators just
<v Speaker 1>trying to show off their animating skills.
<v Speaker 2>What a little Yeah, and otherwise it was just sort
<v Speaker 2>of playing their hits as well. I mean, you've got
<v Speaker 2>Juliette's family are a bit like the whole Jeremy's Iron thing.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I was going to say Allison's family. Allison. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>that was literally exactly what I was thinking as well. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>I watched I saw a good theory about Allison. By
<v Speaker 1>the way, so Allison, right, Lisa's Rival. The episode is
<v Speaker 1>called Lisa's Rival. That's when I'm a writer, right, a writer. Right.
<v Speaker 1>So she comes home and they're playing the game, and
<v Speaker 1>the theory was do you think that this was a
<v Speaker 1>setup by that dad and Alison to fuck over Lisa?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, either a test to be like, yeah, I mean
<v Speaker 2>this is fun and games is like can you cut
<v Speaker 2>it in our house?
<v Speaker 1>Not even it? Can you cut it? They make themselves
<v Speaker 1>feel better. Yeah, apparently Jeremy Iron. The only real thing
<v Speaker 1>you can do is Jeremy's Iron. Jeremy Irons, Jeremy's Iron.
<v Speaker 1>They gave her a ship one deliberately just to make
<v Speaker 1>her feel stupid because this is like this chickens store. Okay,
<v Speaker 1>so this girl's gone.
<v Speaker 2>There's many many times and they've always.
<v Speaker 1>Just yeah, whenever someone's on her level, they bring it
<v Speaker 1>home and they bring them down.
<v Speaker 2>He's always going to say, all right, give me an
<v Speaker 2>anagram for Allgannis genuine class.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I remember that, or Jeremy Irons, and it's always
<v Speaker 1>yeah nothing. I thought, that's actually a bit of a
<v Speaker 1>heel tend that I never really thought about. Interesting.
<v Speaker 2>Interesting, it's more interesting than this episode. Yeah, yeah, we're
<v Speaker 2>talking about it because yeah, there's not a whole lot
<v Speaker 2>else in this.
<v Speaker 1>And but as a parody, it's as a parody, it's fine, yeah, yes,
<v Speaker 1>but it's just pointless the traditional guy.
<v Speaker 2>It's fine, okay, but there's other stuff in here that's
<v Speaker 2>This felt like a really mean spirited episode.
<v Speaker 1>My notes to on going why is everyone angry? Because
<v Speaker 1>I feel like that for a while there and the
<v Speaker 1>Simpsons everyone was always angry, bitter, and they've kind of
<v Speaker 1>shifted a little more positive in recent times. This episode
<v Speaker 1>was a holdover from last season, but also the writer
<v Speaker 1>of this episode was Brian Kelly. He hadn't written an
<v Speaker 1>episode for five seasons, so maybe he was still stuck
<v Speaker 1>in that season fifteen mentality of Homer's a buffoon jerk
<v Speaker 1>wanker and everyone's angry in Springfield because Homer was just deplorable.
<v Speaker 1>In this felt like everyone was yeah, everyone was not
<v Speaker 1>everyone everyone is mean in Springfield? Why is everybody mean?
<v Speaker 2>I'm just recalling a sitting from a recent episode that
<v Speaker 2>we covered where you've got squeaky boys teen lou up
<v Speaker 2>your car, Governor, but he's doing in the English accident
<v Speaker 2>the guy will buss it, don't touch me. That's the
<v Speaker 2>kind of anti social attitude that I know. I kind
<v Speaker 2>of like in The Simpsons, where it's not people are
<v Speaker 2>just angry, but people are kind of like, I just
<v Speaker 2>want to get through my day.
<v Speaker 1>Man. Even like Bart's trying to help Lisa pick out
<v Speaker 1>something and she's berating him for it, and he points out,
<v Speaker 1>I'm just trying to help you ask for my hop
<v Speaker 1>and I'm given it to you. And because that's not
<v Speaker 1>what you what you're yelling at me, I'm thinking, no
<v Speaker 1>one is nice. March is nice. Yeah, Marche has just
<v Speaker 1>become a punching bag. I hope it was so passionizing
<v Speaker 1>and rude to March here with the point where she
<v Speaker 1>says something in home and copies and he goes, if
<v Speaker 1>you say so, March. If you say so, if you
<v Speaker 1>said at first, that's that's fine, making it just gaslighting you.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, not a not a good episode.
<v Speaker 1>No, this wasn't this wasn't good this. Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think we were trying to accentuate the positive
<v Speaker 2>here and look, sorry that was.
<v Speaker 1>A lost cause. And just to wrap up the juliet
<v Speaker 1>saying oh cuckoo, I'm thinking, oh okay, yeah, that's it.
<v Speaker 1>She's gone, never gonna see her again, family moves away
<v Speaker 1>now never no history there, that's it.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, right yourself, a little escape patch in
<v Speaker 2>there about oh my dad is on like a six
<v Speaker 2>month contract or whatever, so oh now time is limited,
<v Speaker 2>and oh we've got to embrace these moments that we
<v Speaker 2>have together. And that gives you justifies the intensity of
<v Speaker 2>this relationship. You know that it's going to be short lived,
<v Speaker 2>and then you're really, oh, wait a minute, well in nuts,
<v Speaker 2>but they're not going to be here for that long anyway,
<v Speaker 2>so that's all right.
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how Heavenly Creatures plays out, but I
<v Speaker 1>think there would have been more and more interesting story
<v Speaker 1>for this would have been that Lisa's enjoying Juliette's company
<v Speaker 1>and then she gets to a point where she realized
<v Speaker 1>meant juliet is a bit obsessed with this book. I
<v Speaker 1>need to get out. But then Juliette will allow her,
<v Speaker 1>and then she needs Marge's help to actually so, because
<v Speaker 1>she because there was a point where she's so rude
<v Speaker 1>to Marge where she goes, it's best if you don't
<v Speaker 1>try and be a part of my life, Mum, March,
<v Speaker 1>as I'm just trying to be involved in it's best
<v Speaker 1>if you don't, And there was there was no there
<v Speaker 1>was no call back to that.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well that's yeah, clearly I think that's drawing too
<v Speaker 2>much or drawing heavily from heavenly.
<v Speaker 1>Creatures in that regard. But in the Simpsons University, you
<v Speaker 1>can't just have Lisa be a rude to March and
<v Speaker 1>not have her apologized for it. It's just silliness. It
<v Speaker 1>needs to be Lisa saying, like, draw upon heavenly creatures,
<v Speaker 1>but use the Simpsons spin, you don't have to follow
<v Speaker 1>the same. So. I don't know how the movie plays out,
<v Speaker 1>but this, to me needed Marge to be the one
<v Speaker 1>who Lisa realizes is most important and brings her back.
<v Speaker 1>My favorite Did you have any favorite moments?
<v Speaker 2>I had like I had three, one of which was
<v Speaker 2>I was surprised to this couver that was Emily Blunt,
<v Speaker 2>who's an actor that I like. I initially thought, yeah,
<v Speaker 2>much like it was like, yeah, they just got a
<v Speaker 2>coustmember doing a weird and when I say weird, I
<v Speaker 2>don't mean necessarily bed. It's like, this is least seem
<v Speaker 2>like an odd choice.
<v Speaker 1>This voice. It didn't feel like an English acts. It
<v Speaker 1>felt like an American being an englishman. Yeah, it was so.
<v Speaker 2>But props to Emily Blunt for not just because she's
<v Speaker 2>got a lovely speaking boys. Props to her for actually
<v Speaker 2>sort of doing a character or doing a bit.
<v Speaker 1>So, hey, it's English actress Emily Blunt. Yeah she's married
<v Speaker 1>to John Christian. Yeah John, Yeah. Home is mostly terrible,
<v Speaker 1>But I did enjoy him saying at do we find
<v Speaker 1>Juliet's last name or the professor's last name? I can't
<v Speaker 1>remember anyway at their house, like where's your bathroom? I'd
<v Speaker 1>like to pretend to wash my hand. Do you like that?
<v Speaker 1>I'd like to pretend to wash my hands. That I
<v Speaker 1>thought that was quite I'm just watching this going, why
<v Speaker 1>is Homer such a fuckhead? I just watched it. I'm
<v Speaker 1>just thinking Homer is just despicable.
<v Speaker 2>It just it speaks to class insecurity and you know,
<v Speaker 2>oh I better be seen to be trying to do
<v Speaker 2>the right thing.
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was kind of funny, I don't know,
<v Speaker 1>but the fact that he told them I'm not going
<v Speaker 1>to wash my hands. I did not like this version
<v Speaker 1>home in this episode at.
<v Speaker 2>All, And quite honestly, I thought it was a very
<v Speaker 2>good suggestion by a Poo that the you know, I
<v Speaker 2>need a candy that I'm enjoyed and that I can
<v Speaker 2>pretend to share or something like that. Get to one
<v Speaker 2>why Poo was run the show? Yeah, well I have
<v Speaker 2>one moment here, tell me. And it was the bait
<v Speaker 2>and switch where they got me of the bullies arriving.
<v Speaker 2>I thought it was the family and I was literally
<v Speaker 2>typed my notes going as if Marge would know she
<v Speaker 2>was going to be Oh it wasn't Marge. Yeah, I'm sorry. Right,
<v Speaker 2>Brian Kelly, you did this one right, bro Kelly, well
<v Speaker 2>done you. But yeah, they were the only things I liked.
<v Speaker 1>Next question you there Eating the Beast trivia questions. My
<v Speaker 1>first question for you is which track of the Pelican
<v Speaker 1>Brief did Julius Dad, make her play it's strength three.
<v Speaker 1>Researching the brief, I didn't mind that moment as boke
<v Speaker 1>on going. You know what I do? Enjoy me a
<v Speaker 1>good score, as you can.
<v Speaker 2>See here do Dan who knows the score?
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I would buy the Pelican brief score.
<v Speaker 2>Well you probably already know the answer to this. Then,
<v Speaker 2>But who composed that score?
<v Speaker 1>Oh? No, neme. He starts with HD right, short hours
<v Speaker 1>is a hang someone?
<v Speaker 2>No, that's the surname starts with age.
<v Speaker 1>Ah, no, what is it? It's James Horner. James Horner all right?
<v Speaker 2>Indeed, who also composed the music for Titanic? And who
<v Speaker 2>is no law rulers? Ah, that's a shame. James want
<v Speaker 2>to come up with some great scores. Yeah, one of
<v Speaker 2>the best things. So it certainly told this story.
<v Speaker 1>So did he write in a second? Did he write
<v Speaker 1>then my Heart will go on? Because basically it's the
<v Speaker 1>same music.
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if he did. That's a really good
<v Speaker 2>question and we should look it.
<v Speaker 1>Up, because the music of my heart We're going is
<v Speaker 1>of course. Yeah, that's because Jane Cameron knows what he's doing.
<v Speaker 1>He knows what he's doing speaking, and he knows what
<v Speaker 1>he knows what everyone is doing, speaking of movie times,
<v Speaker 1>because we just did we just did Golden Eye, which
<v Speaker 1>wasn't a sometimes a video game tie in? Sure, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>Golden Off for the Movie Guy podcast with Malton and Davis.
<v Speaker 1>What is it called?
<v Speaker 2>Why did I type in Jake's Horner? I don't know
<v Speaker 2>what I'm doing?
<v Speaker 1>What is Jake's Horner? What does it look like? Show
<v Speaker 1>me your horner?
<v Speaker 2>I certainly will not song by James Horner and Will.
<v Speaker 1>Jennings, So okay, yeah it means.
<v Speaker 2>And then Selene came on and just put that particular Canadian.
<v Speaker 1>Source on it. Selen is nicholas favorite singer of all time? Well,
<v Speaker 1>that's her problem. She walked down the aisle to Celendion's arm.
<v Speaker 1>What's the one where it goes because I'm your lady,
<v Speaker 1>you are my man power of love, power of live. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>that's what Nicola walked down the aisle to it. It's
<v Speaker 1>very sweet. Yeah, she loves this Celindion. That's a very
<v Speaker 1>good thing. All right. My next question for you is
<v Speaker 1>they took a trip to where and which is a
<v Speaker 1>Facebook two weeks in a row, so it's clearly the
<v Speaker 1>writers at the Simpsons around. Hey, it's a new thing
<v Speaker 1>the Facebook. We're better mention it for the kids watching
<v Speaker 1>the show. But it's gonna like their trip to wear
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's a I'll give you a clue, varmit. This
<v Speaker 1>guy likes to shoot Varmin. You're sementy. You're talking about
<v Speaker 1>your seventy Yeah of the the New Tunes cartoons. I
<v Speaker 1>question for you.
<v Speaker 2>Uh, the art teacher is reading a book or magazine
<v Speaker 2>about what no idea sell your junk on eBay? Okay,
<v Speaker 2>this is what we're all doing these days, apparently on
<v Speaker 2>Facebook marketplace. Oh avoid those fees.
<v Speaker 1>Hey, good point, Yeah, seventeen percent and everyone sells something
<v Speaker 1>an eBay.
<v Speaker 2>Thanks, okay, Facebook marketplace. See, we're just like the Simpsons, right,
<v Speaker 2>we're talking about Facebook. Your next question to me.
<v Speaker 1>How much was a shrimp cocktail? Three dollars? Five dollars?
<v Speaker 1>Good guess? Four nine? It's not a good guess?
<v Speaker 2>Was completely incorrect enough, so wrongs. Actually the rec center
<v Speaker 2>is named for whom.
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, and me, Lisa said it, what was it?
<v Speaker 1>I'm assuming it was a joke as well, was it?
<v Speaker 2>That's a good question because I didn't do my research
<v Speaker 2>while watching it. It's Janet L. Muna's Robins. Let's look
<v Speaker 2>up if that's a real person and what they did?
<v Speaker 1>You look at the moment as you're doing that, I'm
<v Speaker 1>going to say that the outro was done by fall
<v Speaker 1>out Boy, who didn't guest star in the episode, but
<v Speaker 1>they did name their band after fall out Boy. Radioactive
<v Speaker 1>Man's assistant who Millhouse plays.

<v Speaker 1>gap in between last week episode and this one. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>really bizarre production code kab F two to two, written
<v Speaker 1>by Brian Kelly and directed by Matthew Nastak. Guest stars
<v Speaker 1>follow Boy playing the otro and Emily Blunt as Juliette.
<v Speaker 1>Chortboard gag I will not use permanent ink on the
<v Speaker 1>chalk board and the cash gave the family I lot
<v Speaker 1>the casch gag. Yeah, where they become a collectibles and
<v Speaker 1>worst catch gag. Ever, I need to make pretting this up.
<v Speaker 1>So this is kind of historic. So started this podcast
<v Speaker 1>nearly ten years ago, ten years ago in May, and
<v Speaker 1>we started episode one Their way through Got season ten.
<v Speaker 1>You jumped on board season twenty, and this is the
<v Speaker 1>final episode of The Simpsons that features this intro. Gonna
<v Speaker 1>be replaced, didn't you.
<v Speaker 2>I was about to say, normally your timing is really good.
<v Speaker 2>You could have put a little more hot source on that.
<v Speaker 2>This is the final episode.
<v Speaker 1>Of this Yeah, I can see you looked a little
<v Speaker 1>like worried. I was like, I'm just gonna get to
<v Speaker 1>the point I'm not I'm not that concerned. But yeah,
<v Speaker 1>it's the the intro, the final intro of the Simpsons,
<v Speaker 1>and now it's going to be HD wide screens. And
<v Speaker 1>I'm just saying it's gonna feel like a different show
<v Speaker 1>now because even because it's new Simpsons in regards to like,
<v Speaker 1>it's not golden Ear. It's more modern Simpsons season twenty,
<v Speaker 1>but it's still at the four to three ratio. Now
<v Speaker 1>it's wid screen. Now, I wonder watching it with wide
<v Speaker 1>screen now where it's going to feel, Oh, this is
<v Speaker 1>a new era of the show.
<v Speaker 2>New area for the Simpsons, maybe new era for four
<v Speaker 2>Finger discomp But it's going to be, yeah, just as
<v Speaker 2>good as show as it ever was, maybe even better.
<v Speaker 1>We're going to broadcasting in wide screen. Now we're just
<v Speaker 1>going to talk louder.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, all right, So couch gag, not about couch gag,
<v Speaker 2>but also.
<v Speaker 1>End of an era. It is the end of an era, indeed,
<v Speaker 1>and beginning of a new one. They ended with the
<v Speaker 1>worst one ever.
<v Speaker 2>Every new beginning isn't some new beginning's end, as the
<v Speaker 2>song says.
<v Speaker 1>The episode kicks off with Homer dropping the kids off
<v Speaker 1>at the Springfield Rec Center. He says, when you're older,
<v Speaker 1>you realize how much you miss these fun activities. That's
<v Speaker 1>kind of mean to Elliot when he goes, I don't
<v Speaker 1>want to have to go to school. I don't want
<v Speaker 1>to know. I said, mate, understand, this is the best
<v Speaker 1>time of your life. You have no responsible He always says,
<v Speaker 1>I want to be an adult. I'm like, you don't, don't.
<v Speaker 1>I understand. When you're an adult you can do things
<v Speaker 1>you want to do, but when you're a kid, you
<v Speaker 1>have adults who do that shit for you. Just enjoy
<v Speaker 1>being a kid, mate. And yeah, oh, by the way,
<v Speaker 1>shout out to Elliott. Guess what Eliot did. He got
<v Speaker 1>voted class captain. Oh my goodness. Yeah, out of all
<v Speaker 1>the kids, the one class each has a captain. His
<v Speaker 1>peers voted him class captain more asbestos and they said
<v Speaker 1>he's our man.
<v Speaker 2>Meanwhile, yeah, the other kid was sort of like voting
<v Speaker 2>on more science ficient books in the library.
<v Speaker 1>I love the way they The teacher explained it to
<v Speaker 1>me too. So they got ten people or put their
<v Speaker 1>hand up, so we want to go for class captain.
<v Speaker 1>They all got the front. They all did a little speech.
<v Speaker 1>Elliot said, he apparently she goes, Elliott just went up
<v Speaker 1>there and he said, I'm going to be good as
<v Speaker 1>class captain because I'm kind, respectful. I'll help you guys learn.
<v Speaker 1>If you need anything, I will help you. And everyone
<v Speaker 1>else just kind of said because because they won c
<v Speaker 1>and then basically Ali was Elliott was a tie with
<v Speaker 1>somebody else. So she said, we don't got the other
<v Speaker 1>two on the up the front. And how do you
<v Speaker 1>think they decided who was going to be the class captain?
<v Speaker 2>I want to say I'm wrestle.
<v Speaker 1>No, they just said, right, who voced? Ali put your
<v Speaker 1>hands up and apparently like everyone will popular everyone except
<v Speaker 1>for like two kids put the head of for Alliot.
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, oh that is so harsh. Great.
<v Speaker 2>See now now Eliot has his own baby, baby Gerald. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>he's got a nemesis.
<v Speaker 1>He's got a nemesis. Yeah, I like Elliott, I get wrong,
<v Speaker 1>he's a good kid. Said that. Well, I said to her,
<v Speaker 1>you realize that's how super Villain's upborn. This kid's just
<v Speaker 1>going to steal in it forever. Well, then Elliot, how's
<v Speaker 1>his face feeling? Because he goes, oh, yeah, he proa
<v Speaker 1>the creaker bat. It's it's going down. No, fracture in
<v Speaker 1>the jaw, though it might have been frast went to
<v Speaker 1>get scans and whatnot. So he's he's still much better.
<v Speaker 1>But it's like a little hard ball. And I think
<v Speaker 1>it might be like they think it's melanoma or something
<v Speaker 1>like that.
<v Speaker 2>That sounds serious.
<v Speaker 1>It does. Maybe it's not that he meta melano is
<v Speaker 1>skin can it's not that, even Tom that's the one, yes,
<v Speaker 1>big words computer bell, so he has that in his
<v Speaker 1>face possibly, so think it's an ultra sound on that
<v Speaker 1>to see if that's all right. But it's gone down,
<v Speaker 1>doesn't hurt the touch anymore. It's this is very good.
<v Speaker 2>He's back playing cricket again. This is very good news.
<v Speaker 2>In semi related news, Lou's daughter Audrey is house captain
<v Speaker 2>of the House school. So yeah, we're just associated with
<v Speaker 2>Well done Audrey. Yeah, well done Audrey.
<v Speaker 1>Well done.
<v Speaker 2>Bart and Lisa going off to the rec center. Yes
<v Speaker 2>it was a silky seguay, wasn't it was?
<v Speaker 1>Indeed? Yeah, Homer bails on them coming with guys doing
<v Speaker 1>some showering kung fu. All this is just pointless. A
<v Speaker 1>lot of fat shaming this episode. Yeah, this is the voice.
<v Speaker 1>Certainly in this first part there's always fat shaving in
<v Speaker 1>the Simpsons, No fat chicks. Yeah, but that was funny.
<v Speaker 1>This is just a guy saying that there's nothing to
<v Speaker 1>do with my weight. It's all about what is it?
<v Speaker 1>He's chi is it? It's cheap? He's chea Yes, he
<v Speaker 1>says on my signal, which is it a matrix reference
<v Speaker 1>or a rock reference? Just bring it. That looks a
<v Speaker 1>bit like it.
<v Speaker 2>Although I'm pretty sure that martial artists have been doing
<v Speaker 2>that since spread since martial arts.
<v Speaker 1>By the way, I learn to confort.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, anyone who's watched a Hong Kong action movie over
<v Speaker 2>the last thirty or so years may be aware of
<v Speaker 2>Samo Hung, who's like a contemporary of Jackie Chan, except
<v Speaker 2>he's a big guy, like a big guess, a fat guy,
<v Speaker 2>but absolutely kickars. He was like, you know, Chris Farley's
<v Speaker 2>really bleetic, like he's very graceful. Samo Hung's a bit
<v Speaker 2>like that, but also with violence. Okay, So there you go,
<v Speaker 2>So I wouldn't be dis in comic book John Thick,
<v Speaker 2>John Thick, John Thick, there you go. There what a guy.
<v Speaker 1>So Lisa's in art class, the teacher's not having a
<v Speaker 1>good time. Actually didn't mind this as well. So she's
<v Speaker 1>saying this orange is not that orange, just it. She's like,
<v Speaker 1>what is it? Lor your expectations, Lory expectations.
<v Speaker 2>Stop stop, Juliet, this is terrible.
<v Speaker 1>Your art is personal and wrong.
<v Speaker 2>I was painting with my heart and if you look
<v Speaker 2>carefully you can see that the night is Josh Groebin
<v Speaker 2>are young century's greatest vocalist. Oh another grob night.
<v Speaker 1>I didn't get all the Josh Grobn loving this either.
<v Speaker 1>It just went on forever.
<v Speaker 2>No, I mean, I was expecting to see in the
<v Speaker 2>closing credits special guest star Josh.
<v Speaker 1>Rober period was not in it. I'm like, what are
<v Speaker 1>we doing here? Did I love Josh Grovin in Heavenly Creatures?
<v Speaker 2>No, Heavenly Creatures set like in the nineteen fifties or something.
<v Speaker 1>What is the point? I don't know? But did they
<v Speaker 1>sing in songs? They're doing this? I just it doesn't
<v Speaker 1>make any sense to me. But Lisa says, she goes, well,
<v Speaker 1>do you want to be a teacher? Yes? I do,
<v Speaker 1>and she Lisa takes over the class. Then they bail
<v Speaker 1>her and Juliette leave. Juliet is new in town. Her
<v Speaker 1>father's lecturer at the Uni.
<v Speaker 2>I guess so letter somewhere specializing in the works of
<v Speaker 2>John Grisham.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, indeed, Yeah, and then they sing some Josh Grobin
<v Speaker 1>which goes on forever and I've got here. This is
<v Speaker 1>just killing time, really just killing time, and Willie puts
<v Speaker 1>the broom in his ears and Wiggans put the gun
<v Speaker 1>in his ears and what was the point?
<v Speaker 2>This is killing time? And also my will to live.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Lisa is now with Bart at the Quickie Mart.
<v Speaker 1>So it seems she's invited Bart down to the quicker
<v Speaker 1>Mart to help her buy candy for the first playdate
<v Speaker 1>because she's not used to having playdates anymore. She doesn't
<v Speaker 1>really have a friend.
<v Speaker 2>But it feels weird that she's referring to it as
<v Speaker 2>a playdate.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, she's eight. Yeah, we wouldn't really.
<v Speaker 2>But I think I think something that you organize yourself,
<v Speaker 2>you would not necessarily call a playdate.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I was going to say, when I organize something,
<v Speaker 1>I said, you should we organize a playdate for the kids.
<v Speaker 1>But it's not just hey, can I come over and
<v Speaker 1>play it? So that's not a playdate. Yeah. Anyway, Bazaar,
<v Speaker 1>So thereout the Quickie Mark, Bart is offering some suggestions
<v Speaker 1>in Eminem and Eminem's are great, and she's shutting them down.
<v Speaker 1>You're an idiot with whom being cruel, who comes in
<v Speaker 1>with a suggestion of the Almond Joys. Finally a real suggestion.
<v Speaker 1>I just went, why is everyone like this? Why is everybody? Look?
<v Speaker 1>In this episode so far everyone has been mean? Yes,
<v Speaker 1>so far. Ow. She arrives at Tuition Academy, which is
<v Speaker 1>unfortunate scholarship free, which means she's never getting in, and
<v Speaker 1>Lisa does not know what to do on a playdates.
<v Speaker 1>It's been so long, and Juliet says, my parents have
<v Speaker 1>bought me a pass for the Folk Art Museum, which
<v Speaker 1>includes access on Wednesdays apparently okay, and likely today is Wednesday,
<v Speaker 1>so that we have a montage with them at the
<v Speaker 1>Folk Art Museum, which is just again killing time. Oh yes,
<v Speaker 1>but one of the robot sculptures, though, I will say,
<v Speaker 1>look like linguomember Linguo, which was that's the one based
<v Speaker 1>on go right and run, Lola run, that's right? Yeah, yes,
<v Speaker 1>the multiple being Linguo dead. Linguo is dead. Yes, But
<v Speaker 1>besides that, though, there was nothing else to really relate
<v Speaker 1>in this. It was just them having fun at a
<v Speaker 1>Folk Art Museum.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, as I said, when you yeah, you find a
<v Speaker 2>kindred spirit who someone's in the same weird shit that
<v Speaker 2>you are. Or it is like no one else would
<v Speaker 2>ever go to the Folk Art Museum with me. This
<v Speaker 2>person's not just here under like I suppose it'd be
<v Speaker 2>a nice place to go to. But we're both enthusiastic
<v Speaker 2>about this. It's a great feeling. It's a fantastic feeling.
<v Speaker 1>But it's me when I was a kid, when I
<v Speaker 1>discover someone else who liked wrestling, I go, you liked
<v Speaker 1>wrestling too? The yeah shit. Oh but Marge is happy
<v Speaker 1>that Lisa has finally found a friend and she's asked
<v Speaker 1>her to come over and to the house and play,
<v Speaker 1>finally starting to act like, as the book would say,
<v Speaker 1>normal childhood behavior. Well last, hey, man, can you yet
<v Speaker 1>sleep over? Are your parents okay with that?
<v Speaker 2>They never met us. We could be murderers, could have
<v Speaker 2>been if we hadn't had kids. These all feel like
<v Speaker 2>lines that would go over well in the writer's room.
<v Speaker 2>It was like, oh, yeah, Homer would say something like that,
<v Speaker 2>except yeah, there's a real disconnect in like each deliver
<v Speaker 2>I won't say how Dan's delivered.
<v Speaker 1>It's the way it plays out in the scene, isn't it. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>But having dinner here's another moment here. So they're having
<v Speaker 1>dinner and she brings up how father's the foremost scholar
<v Speaker 1>for John Grisham books, and she says that he discovered
<v Speaker 1>the real villain Time to Kill was the legal system itself,
<v Speaker 1>the legal system itself, and then goes told you, March
<v Speaker 1>told you, and it just looks at him. I don't think,
<v Speaker 1>what the hell is going on?
<v Speaker 2>And then I didn't mind that all that much because
<v Speaker 2>it makes sense.
<v Speaker 1>Why would I what it's not.
<v Speaker 2>It's a kind of a really obvious point in a
<v Speaker 2>Time to Kill.
<v Speaker 1>It's like, well, you know, the.
<v Speaker 2>Systems kind of flawed or whatever.
<v Speaker 1>But it feels like the kind of thing that Homer
<v Speaker 1>would be sort of going.
<v Speaker 2>I think the real villain is the legal system. Like
<v Speaker 2>he's come to this incredible inside. Okay, so I've never
<v Speaker 2>seen a time to care or read the book. So
<v Speaker 2>is that meant to be the joke?
<v Speaker 1>Is that? Well, of course everyone knows that. Oh do
<v Speaker 1>you think that's what they're going for here? I've missed
<v Speaker 1>That's It's a real just.
<v Speaker 2>Kind of simple inside that Homer would take as like
<v Speaker 2>him being the the Reds and less in just a
<v Speaker 2>corruption or whatever. It's like, yeah, he would feel like
<v Speaker 2>the smartest person in the room pointing out something that
<v Speaker 2>is kind of obvious.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, but now they're writing tales of a Koalia And
<v Speaker 1>this is where for me, I thought the episode has
<v Speaker 1>got so boring. So it's lights out the next the
<v Speaker 1>next This next moment here was probably the nicest moment
<v Speaker 1>of the episode, the one moment in the story that
<v Speaker 1>really felt like I had some emotional punch where lights
<v Speaker 1>are out. She asked Lesa to be a best friend.
<v Speaker 1>Marge's listening at the door, saying say yes, yes, yes.
<v Speaker 1>She says yes, and she says to herself, I have
<v Speaker 1>a best friend. Juliette here shays, you heard that, mustill
<v Speaker 1>be best friend me? Okay, yes, and she's like, my
<v Speaker 1>best friend's so cool. That's a nice moment. Sure is
<v Speaker 1>well you where we've all had a moment in our
<v Speaker 1>lives where we've got a best friend and we drop
<v Speaker 1>our guard and reveal or something about For me growing up,
<v Speaker 1>it was I had two best friends I've mentioned before,
<v Speaker 1>Medie mockel Meade and Daniel Jones Jonesy and Media. I
<v Speaker 1>call them, right, and now the only two of my
<v Speaker 1>friends who knew that I wet the bed. I went
<v Speaker 1>to the bed until I was about eleven. Right, That's
<v Speaker 1>why I wouldn't go to school camps, wouldn't have anything
<v Speaker 1>of that. But knowing that I could trust them and
<v Speaker 1>they just didn't care, it is special to me. It's
<v Speaker 1>just like, yeah, that So it reminded me of that
<v Speaker 1>moment where I was like, ah, I want to say
<v Speaker 1>at their house, I'm like, I wet the bed and
<v Speaker 1>I'm like so, I'm like, oh, cool, you don't care. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>So that was my moment for me.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, No, it's fantastic when you have someone like that.
<v Speaker 1>In your life. Yeah, we can reveal something and go, oh,
<v Speaker 1>they just they genuinely just don't give a shit. It
<v Speaker 1>doesn't bother them. I still want to be your friend.
<v Speaker 1>But it's now the morning time and Lisa is meeting
<v Speaker 1>her after school, margin Homer offers some advice. It was
<v Speaker 1>the bit I was mentioning earlier. If the dog bites,
<v Speaker 1>you don't make a big deal out of it. March
<v Speaker 1>says that. Then Homer says the same thing and then
<v Speaker 1>patronizes Marge for being annoyed that she didn't. Yeah, well,
<v Speaker 1>I just didn't get what it feels like. It's writing
<v Speaker 1>Homer into the story for the sake of h We
<v Speaker 1>need Homer to say something. None of the jokes land,
<v Speaker 1>in my opinion, he just says something silly, and he's
<v Speaker 1>being rude to March. For the majority of everyone's rude
<v Speaker 1>to March. That's the bulk of this. If he's just
<v Speaker 1>saying something funny for the sake of it, that's different,
<v Speaker 1>or saying something stupid. But when he's blittling March, everything's
<v Speaker 1>blittling March. Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I think when we used to have Homer
<v Speaker 2>sort of making dumbass comments, but usually that would be
<v Speaker 2>at his own expence, and yeah, but they were never
<v Speaker 2>sort of if they were directed at March, the joke
<v Speaker 2>was always reflected back on Home. I always made him
<v Speaker 2>look bad or baffoonish or whatever. Whereas this is just
<v Speaker 2>kind of snarking and biting for the for the sake
<v Speaker 2>of it.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, pointless, pointless snark, pointless snark. Yeah, now they're writing
<v Speaker 1>the book at the at the are they writing the book?
<v Speaker 1>So now they're writing the book outside. I think it
<v Speaker 1>must have been after school, and they think of the Tunicorn,
<v Speaker 1>that's their new character they've created, and she loves her accents,
<v Speaker 1>so she says, you can do the audio book. And
<v Speaker 1>then they're playing at the more the creative figures and whatnot.
<v Speaker 1>Nelson mocks them and then he has a headless dart
<v Speaker 1>Fader and email bus Stacey wrapped up in Sullifan tape
<v Speaker 1>and makes him kiss, makes them kiss. Yes, So what
<v Speaker 1>was your favorite figure when you're a kid.
<v Speaker 2>Look, I had a bunch of little a little sort
<v Speaker 2>of cowboy figures, but I don't know, might have inherited
<v Speaker 2>from someone or whatever. Some Star Wars action figures I
<v Speaker 2>never really play. I never like with my Star Wars
<v Speaker 2>because I never played Star Wars. I sort of made
<v Speaker 2>up my own stories that would have like, I know,
<v Speaker 2>Marthkter or something like that.
<v Speaker 1>It's because I had no originality, math data something like
<v Speaker 1>that I had. I loved my Street Sharks, I loved
<v Speaker 1>my Power Rangers, and I love my wrestling figures now
<v Speaker 1>my thirty things.
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, but there was nothing like the imagination you
<v Speaker 2>had when you're a kid as well, but particularly you know,
<v Speaker 2>sort of growing up in our eras maybe sort of
<v Speaker 2>pre into sort of stuff. Yeah, you would take the
<v Speaker 2>stuff that you saw, the stuff that you read or
<v Speaker 2>order that, and but you would remix it in your
<v Speaker 2>mind and use it as a jumping off point.
<v Speaker 1>Which one say to Elliot because when he watches a movie,
<v Speaker 1>for example, he loves cars, movie movie cars, where he's
<v Speaker 1>got all the card toys and stuff. He tries to
<v Speaker 1>recreate what he sees on the TV. And I say
<v Speaker 1>to him, it's okay if you don't do exactly what's
<v Speaker 1>on the TV, just do what you want. Or he
<v Speaker 1>was coloring a coloring book the other day. We're waiting
<v Speaker 1>for Nickel to nicol and Holly get the nails done,
<v Speaker 1>so but to big w and we've got a coloring
<v Speaker 1>book and we'll sit in there coloring in whist we're
<v Speaker 1>waiting for for the girls to finish. And he's coloring.
<v Speaker 1>He has, oh, I need a blue because because there's
<v Speaker 1>a Sonic book. And I said it's color and green,
<v Speaker 1>you guys, no, but Sonics blue. And I said, he
<v Speaker 1>can be what color you want him to be, mate,
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't matter. And it was almost like a light
<v Speaker 1>bulb when off he went, sure, so I can just
<v Speaker 1>be creative.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there's color outside the lines don't.
<v Speaker 1>Matter, because he used to get really frustrat when we
<v Speaker 1>went outside the lines and I said, it doesn't matter.
<v Speaker 1>It actually doesn't matter. And now he just does what
<v Speaker 1>he wants to. Yet he Knuckles is the red guy,
<v Speaker 1>you know, Knuckles from Sonic and he showed me and
<v Speaker 1>it was like a pink knuckles and I was like, cool,
<v Speaker 1>there you go. He's like, there's no red, sort of
<v Speaker 1>colored pink, and I'm like, you're getting it, buddy, You're
<v Speaker 1>getting it. It doesn't matter. Improvised, buddy, improvised.
<v Speaker 2>This is why his house captain.
<v Speaker 1>He is classic. Classic. He's working his way out. But anyway,
<v Speaker 1>so the yes, the notesn't been mocking to be playing
<v Speaker 1>with the toys on their way to dinner. Now at Juliete's,
<v Speaker 1>the Simpsons family are and they said, we're going to
<v Speaker 1>some big words. Homer says he'll use computer bark and
<v Speaker 1>have doorbell nice doorbell? Is it computerized? Don't you come
<v Speaker 1>up with any I don't think they could have gone
<v Speaker 1>for the choke bit here because it's too much.
<v Speaker 2>But at the same time, I think even I think
<v Speaker 2>Julie's family is like, why are you smacking a kid
<v Speaker 2>in the back of the head with such ferocity?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I don't think that's the kind of humor that
<v Speaker 1>the differences we need to see. I think there needs
<v Speaker 1>to be a difference in class. We're not smacking NICKI
<v Speaker 1>around your manners or something like that. Yeah. Yeah, so
<v Speaker 1>the father's now talking outside, you know, her father says
<v Speaker 1>nice to the fast friends. Did we get the toilet
<v Speaker 1>the bathroom gave? You're saying earlier?
<v Speaker 2>I do like that home who normally doesn't smoke a
<v Speaker 2>pipe is smoking.
<v Speaker 1>A pipe because in Millord and whatnot. And then the
<v Speaker 1>father is reading from the firm over the dinner table,
<v Speaker 1>and he tells the girls that can we perform a
<v Speaker 1>medley of our favorite Josh Groban songs? And the way
<v Speaker 1>again with the Grovin What the hell is going on here?
<v Speaker 1>It's just one of the writers daughters have loved Grovin
<v Speaker 1>or did one of the writers love Grobin? Yeah, it's
<v Speaker 1>weird that you would do all this and not have
<v Speaker 1>him on the show, isn't it? It is?
<v Speaker 2>Again, I get where they're going, what they're going forward
<v Speaker 2>this kind of thing. I mean, I'm sure. Yeah, have
<v Speaker 2>been times when Elliott or Holly has been like, oh
<v Speaker 2>can I read There might be people around they sort
<v Speaker 2>of want to not show off, but can I read
<v Speaker 2>you this poem that I wrote or something along those lines,
<v Speaker 2>or here's the thing that I did in school that
<v Speaker 2>I learned today.
<v Speaker 1>And it's like, well, that's really sweet. But see it's
<v Speaker 1>funny though, when you become a parent. I used to
<v Speaker 1>look at parents and they put like their kids drawings
<v Speaker 1>in the fridge and go, it's two squiggles, what are
<v Speaker 1>you doing? I appreciate and actually my everything that my
<v Speaker 1>kids creates, it's weird. When you're the parent, you go,
<v Speaker 1>I know this is nothing, but something I created, created this.
<v Speaker 1>It's a it's what keeps you from devouring your children?
<v Speaker 1>What separazas from the what was the Homer gag? Or
<v Speaker 1>separatezs from the weasel?
<v Speaker 2>Something like that?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, who knows? But so there they haven't. They haven't.
<v Speaker 1>They're doing the medley here for Josh groblah blah blah blah.
<v Speaker 1>He interrupts the father and Trump says we should put
<v Speaker 1>on the Pelican brief score track three. She says, I
<v Speaker 1>hate track three. I hate it. She runs off list
<v Speaker 1>as I'll go get her then we get the repeatd
<v Speaker 1>gag of Homer saying, can you tell me what this
<v Speaker 1>lump is on my back? So the joke being I'm
<v Speaker 1>not that kind of doctor. But then it's just that
<v Speaker 1>it was a gummy bears. This is chewing chewing it.
<v Speaker 1>It's just that line again, is it a pimple or
<v Speaker 1>a boil? It was a gummy bear, same thing repeating.
<v Speaker 1>The gags sometimes play that Julia sees a quality in
<v Speaker 1>the backyard, and here I thought the episode was going
<v Speaker 1>to take a turn, but no, Lissa just randomly sees
<v Speaker 1>equality as well, and I was like, ah, okay, well, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>this was the part where I twigged because I didn't
<v Speaker 1>know what happens in the film. Is it?
<v Speaker 2>Yes, they start to become pretty to their hallucination fantasies
<v Speaker 2>and all that. In the minute they so like I
<v Speaker 2>can see it, and it pops up at and know
<v Speaker 2>where it's like, oh yeah, they're doing They're doing Heavenly creatures. Wow,
<v Speaker 2>that's a.
<v Speaker 1>Secure that's a dip cut. So basically, here they see
<v Speaker 1>the tundicorn. They see I think it's a draft to
<v Speaker 1>puss or something. It's a it's uncomfortable just about everywhere
<v Speaker 1>a couple on land and on water or in water
<v Speaker 1>and on land, and then they have a big dance
<v Speaker 1>to Josh have a song again, not a whole or
<v Speaker 1>two this episode now there's there's lots of just absolute filler.
<v Speaker 1>But the girls now write in their book Marge's role playing.
<v Speaker 1>She comes in, she's got the cookies that are shaped
<v Speaker 1>like certain things whatever with dragon eggs. She's just trying
<v Speaker 1>to be involved with this is our thing, not yours,
<v Speaker 1>and I just want to be involved with the best
<v Speaker 1>of you don't. And I thought the fact that that
<v Speaker 1>wasn't call back on not good gott to drop the
<v Speaker 1>ball this episode. Yeah. Skinner then calls the parents and
<v Speaker 1>says Lisa is being unfocused, she's not really doing very
<v Speaker 1>well at school. That's not followed up on either.
<v Speaker 2>No, and even the whole gag about yeah, they're so
<v Speaker 2>used to this being bart yeah, that they're not really
<v Speaker 2>listening and they're just like, but we'll do this. It's like,
<v Speaker 2>why is this not funny?
<v Speaker 1>The best version of that was but no, sorry, habit
<v Speaker 1>that's the peak. But again, this is where Skinner mentions
<v Speaker 1>the Facebook page what and I was like, oh, you
<v Speaker 1>old writers in the writer's room, like in the Facebooks
<v Speaker 1>where I tell Lisa you can't see Juliet anymore because
<v Speaker 1>you're not focused at school and you're just becoming a
<v Speaker 1>different person. You're being mean to people. And she says, oh, disobey,
<v Speaker 1>And Marge's already three steps ahea because she's Bart Simpson's mother.
<v Speaker 1>She tries to think out the Winnow she catches her
<v Speaker 1>in the wash basket. Then Bart sneaks he goes, but
<v Speaker 1>age ten, he sneaks away. That's it. You don't see
<v Speaker 1>where he goes. It's just that's it.
<v Speaker 2>These are all ideas that just sound good on paper.
<v Speaker 1>I thought Bart aged ten and he jumps away like
<v Speaker 1>an injury outing, and I thought, how's Marge? Marge didn't
<v Speaker 1>get him. Shouldn't the game be that? He thinks, even
<v Speaker 1>though he's age, he's smarter than March and Marge is
<v Speaker 1>still too smart for him.
<v Speaker 2>He thinks, so, but I don't know, Man's I'm really
<v Speaker 2>just I'm flammixed by this episode.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it just feels very pointless, very pointless. Indeed. Now
<v Speaker 1>Juliet meets Lisa at the school. She says, let's run
<v Speaker 1>away together, and I'm like, what is going on? Here.
<v Speaker 1>She says, I can't though, you can't go Juliette because
<v Speaker 1>I have to go to the un you know, because
<v Speaker 1>that's what Lisa does. It just Aqualia needs you. And
<v Speaker 1>she's like, yeah, you're right, this fake thing that we've
<v Speaker 1>made up, yep, it needs me. Aqualia is not real.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I really feel like we're forced to do a
<v Speaker 2>lot of heavy lifting off as I was here.
<v Speaker 1>And if you haven't seen the source material and Heavenly creatures,
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't make any sense to you. I've said time
<v Speaker 1>and time again, the best parodies are the ones where
<v Speaker 1>they're enjoyable, whether you've seen the actual source material or not.
<v Speaker 1>This one is just fucking weird. It is so weird
<v Speaker 1>that Lisa has just started fantasizing me this Aqualia, and
<v Speaker 1>I get it, she's got a new fan and she
<v Speaker 1>loves it.
<v Speaker 2>But it's the responsibility is not on us as the
<v Speaker 2>viewer to go, Okay, well, I guess she's feeling this,
<v Speaker 2>or I guess this means that, so that it would
<v Speaker 2>explain that, no, it's not on you to fill in
<v Speaker 2>the blanks that the episode failed to do.
<v Speaker 1>For me. It lost me when Lisa was visualizing it
<v Speaker 1>all and feeling like she was actually in Aqualia. So
<v Speaker 1>it's just them writing the book and Lisa's going and
<v Speaker 1>then this happens, and they're this role playing and she's
<v Speaker 1>envisioning in her mind, but to actually see it in
<v Speaker 1>front of her and think she's in the world. I
<v Speaker 1>thought this is just a step too far. It's weird.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I won't say it's too much of a departure
<v Speaker 2>from her traditional character, because she's an imaginative person and
<v Speaker 2>a creative person, but this kind of thing is out
<v Speaker 2>of sync with her kind of creative exactly her kind
<v Speaker 2>of imagination, so she need to be under the sway
<v Speaker 2>of someone else who has that wellspring of creativity or
<v Speaker 2>what her that also has this kind of charisma and
<v Speaker 2>the kind of charisma to draw you in and make
<v Speaker 2>you see Equalia. But also, Juliet is not charismatic enough
<v Speaker 2>for Lisa to fall under her sway. The character needed
<v Speaker 2>to be more sort of like, oh, my god, she's
<v Speaker 2>so mysterious and wild and everything like that. She's everything
<v Speaker 2>that I want to be.
<v Speaker 1>She's not.
<v Speaker 2>No, all due respect to Emily Blunt and whoever else
<v Speaker 2>created this character, but it's just like, yeah, to be oh,
<v Speaker 2>she's so wild and free. She's an incredible free spirit,
<v Speaker 2>et cetera, et cetera. Then you, oh, oh, that's because
<v Speaker 2>she's crazy, because a.
<v Speaker 1>Lot of people are a lot of crazy people are
<v Speaker 1>care Lisa should have realized, oh, this chick's crazy at
<v Speaker 1>the moment in the backyard when she's visualizing it, right,
<v Speaker 1>and I think it would have been a better spin.
<v Speaker 1>You don't have to just do heavenly creatures a bit
<v Speaker 1>for bit. It could have been you're doing heavily creatures.
<v Speaker 1>But that moment Lisa realizes, oh, wait a minute, she's
<v Speaker 1>actually crazy, and Marge was right. And then but this
<v Speaker 1>chick starts stalking her or something.
<v Speaker 2>I think you need to do, like a rule of
<v Speaker 2>threes kind of thing where you get three hallucinations. The
<v Speaker 2>first time is Juliard is seeing it and she's explaining
<v Speaker 2>it in great detail. Lisa can't see it, but she's like, oh,
<v Speaker 2>there's a castle over there, and there's the dragon's leg,
<v Speaker 2>et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Juliet is child's imagination,
<v Speaker 2>child's imagination, and it's so vivid and in the way
<v Speaker 2>that Juliet explains it that Lisa's like, Wow, this person's fantastic.
<v Speaker 2>They're so imaginative and fun. The next time she does
<v Speaker 2>it again, and this time Lisa sees it, Wow, you've
<v Speaker 2>draw me into this world. I'm so happy to be
<v Speaker 2>here with you. The third time Julia does it, she
<v Speaker 2>does it too much, and it's like and over there
<v Speaker 2>is the spike where your father's head is or some
<v Speaker 2>shit like that. It's like, oh, wait a minute, Oh no,
<v Speaker 2>that's too vivid, and you were always real and you're
<v Speaker 2>trying to bring this into the real, like to quote
<v Speaker 2>the great poets, Hall notes, I can't go for that,
<v Speaker 2>No can do so. Yeah, I mean that's how I
<v Speaker 2>would certainly do that, and honestly, I think it'd be
<v Speaker 2>much better.
<v Speaker 1>I think we do a pretty good job of fixing
<v Speaker 1>these episodes lately.
<v Speaker 2>I think, just like Jimmy Saville, we'll fix it. I'll
<v Speaker 2>wait a minute.
<v Speaker 1>So this is where we get really saying humbers the
<v Speaker 1>one time he ran up to a land of equality,
<v Speaker 1>and we get him arriving at Alice Island saying that
<v Speaker 1>he's William Doogal You're now Grand Skipper really, and that's it.
<v Speaker 1>There's no joke there. Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>I mean I kind of like the idea of that that.
<v Speaker 2>I'm no fan of Willy, as everyone knows, I do
<v Speaker 2>like the idea, like, oh, I've come from this far
<v Speaker 2>away land to back in my home country. I was
<v Speaker 2>a doctor and he was like, we got enough doctors.
<v Speaker 2>He's a groundskeeper.
<v Speaker 1>Though. I guess this is new life.
<v Speaker 2>It's a good throwaway gag in my mind, at least,
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.
<v Speaker 1>This was maybe a doctor. Why we didn't come to
<v Speaker 1>a land of Equality's I'm sure, well, I don't know.
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't matter, don't think about it that much. The
<v Speaker 1>girls now riding, and they arrive at Clammelot, the Rundown
<v Speaker 1>seafood restaurant that went downhill fast. It's just where we'll live.
<v Speaker 1>How did you sign this place? My family ate here
<v Speaker 1>last week?
<v Speaker 2>It really went downhill fast.
<v Speaker 1>But if you just believe any place can be a qualia.
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, clam Loots is closed.
<v Speaker 1>I'm not surprised. They clam chowter smelled like shap Yeah.

<v Speaker 1>Marge because Marge thinks that she's at the un she
<v Speaker 1>hasn't told she hasn't told the family that she's gone
<v Speaker 1>off to Akuali, and Martin Kle says that there's no
<v Speaker 1>Abajan you can to the extent, to an extent, you
<v Speaker 1>can't trust the word of Belgians, So I am telling
<v Speaker 1>the truth. Margin blames herself for Lisa running away if
<v Speaker 1>it's not her fault at all, and Bart suggests that
<v Speaker 1>they've probably just gone to some stupid castle. Marge like,
<v Speaker 1>I know where they've gone. And Namma has the conversation
<v Speaker 1>here a butt, whether she wear a tie or nice
<v Speaker 1>shoes and whatever?
<v Speaker 2>See again a joke that could possibly quote unquote work, Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>don't a scene, but the whole thing is like, oh well,
<v Speaker 2>I think I think you know Marge would need to say, oh,
<v Speaker 2>they're at that abandoned you remember that fancy restaurant, and
<v Speaker 2>that's now we're going to do I need my do
<v Speaker 2>I need.
<v Speaker 1>Wood one, Except that would ruin this moment just why
<v Speaker 1>they didn't do it would ruin the reveal of them
<v Speaker 1>not being at the actual place. We'll see.
<v Speaker 2>We need this is why we need to write his room.
<v Speaker 1>But it's right though, work it out so Marge knows
<v Speaker 1>where they're going. And so if you want to use
<v Speaker 1>that joke, you need that set up. You need a joke,
<v Speaker 1>A punchline needs to set up. It does. Yeah, it
<v Speaker 1>just very much. There was like three or four moments
<v Speaker 1>in this episode where I'm watching this going it feels
<v Speaker 1>like they've gone, well, we need to end with Homer
<v Speaker 1>saying something funny or silly. How many? How many? How
<v Speaker 1>many scenes in this episode ended with Homer saying something
<v Speaker 1>stupid more than one. There's the one of the dinner
<v Speaker 1>table saying told you, Marge. There's the if you say so, Marge,
<v Speaker 1>There's this one. There's there was one day that started
<v Speaker 1>the episode as well. I can't remember what it was exactly,
<v Speaker 1>probably when he dropping kids off at the that wasn't
<v Speaker 1>necessarily that wasn't relliant. Yeah, maybe kind of, but there
<v Speaker 1>was one after that. But there's so many scenes just
<v Speaker 1>end with Homer saying something stupid.
<v Speaker 2>Well, for the longest time, that was kind of key
<v Speaker 2>to the show's success.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but it was also funny.
<v Speaker 2>Well that's true. Yeah, I know, Homo saying something that's
<v Speaker 2>gonna work.
<v Speaker 1>But we have the girls hanging out in the in
<v Speaker 1>the Klammelot Seaford restaurant. You think the family are arriving
<v Speaker 1>with the silhouettes, but it's actually the bullies, which was
<v Speaker 1>a nice they got me a nice review. They tie
<v Speaker 1>them up because they think they're gonna blow them about
<v Speaker 1>their stashed stolen peaches and they've seen it a bit
<v Speaker 1>extreme waiting out the bad haircuts as well. Yeah, lots
<v Speaker 1>of me in cages and stuff. You know, we come back.
<v Speaker 1>They been putting the cages. Juliette says, shut your eyes
<v Speaker 1>for a quality and this is like, can we just not?
<v Speaker 1>She goes, well, it's better than being here, so they
<v Speaker 1>do so.
<v Speaker 2>As she said, what was it? The real world is
<v Speaker 2>for people who can't imagine anything better.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, Kearnie is an interested in their story as they're
<v Speaker 1>talking about it. He's like, what's going on is they
<v Speaker 1>have dragons and Lisa's about to mock him to the
<v Speaker 1>dragons and it's like, no, no, he's got dragons chubby ball
<v Speaker 1>ones and he's now invested in because they're the ones
<v Speaker 1>that he likes.
<v Speaker 2>Just to rewind just for a second, I had an issue.
<v Speaker 2>Whether they're putting the girls in cages or tying them
<v Speaker 2>up or whatever, this seems a bit extreme, Like I said.
<v Speaker 1>That's what she said, that's true.
<v Speaker 2>Why not have a sort of a not a necessarily
<v Speaker 2>parallel storyline. But the bullies are showed up because they're
<v Speaker 2>playing their own kind of fantasy game or something. It's like, oh, well,
<v Speaker 2>you know they're doing like say, the girls have got
<v Speaker 2>a quality. It's a bit more sort of a romanticy
<v Speaker 2>kind of deal, whereas the boys are doing like a
<v Speaker 2>Game of Thrones, more grungey kind of shit with a
<v Speaker 2>castle or whatever. It's like, and they're locked it not
<v Speaker 2>locked in their own fantasy. But it was like, well,
<v Speaker 2>we've got our own fantasy game as well. We're tying
<v Speaker 2>you to a steak, you witches or something along those
<v Speaker 2>and those vision versus vision, it's vision versus vision, as
<v Speaker 2>opposed to just oh, we're going to tie these girls
<v Speaker 2>up because we stole some peaches, Like, what the fuck, man,
<v Speaker 2>what's the point. So this way it gives you a
<v Speaker 2>little bit of an out, and it also a little
<v Speaker 2>bit of a nice parallel synchronousity. I think that would
<v Speaker 2>work a whole lot better. And then Kearney gets.
<v Speaker 1>Turned by Nys in their vision that he jumps into
<v Speaker 1>their vision and joins their side. Yeah, I think that'd
<v Speaker 1>be better. I think that would be great.
<v Speaker 2>And then it's like, I better walk that back because
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it'll be great, but better is it's
<v Speaker 2>a much a more effective way put it.
<v Speaker 1>The Jimbo and Dolph arrive with the cream for the peaches,
<v Speaker 1>and they grab the book, the Equality Book, and they
<v Speaker 1>go to burn it, and Kney helps them, and he
<v Speaker 1>thinks or that in the vision, it looks like he
<v Speaker 1>has beating them all up. In reality, he's just envisioning
<v Speaker 1>himself beating them up, but he's actually been beaten up himself,
<v Speaker 1>and Juliet and Lisa just leave him to be beaten up.
<v Speaker 1>Way to disregard your savior, Yes, Lisa says she doesn't
<v Speaker 1>want to do this anymore, don't want to go to
<v Speaker 1>equality anymore. And she wants to live in the real
<v Speaker 1>world and he said the real word is for people
<v Speaker 1>who can't imagine anything better. And she says goodbye, Juliette googoole.
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, hey, bitch, five minutes ago, you were invested
<v Speaker 1>in this.
<v Speaker 2>Human beings are complicated, as we know. There's it's not
<v Speaker 2>outside the realms of possibility that you know a couple
<v Speaker 2>of minutes, ten minutes, minutes earlier could be like, oh
<v Speaker 2>my bestie is so oh my best is crazy to
<v Speaker 2>make that transition, But what has really changed. They did
<v Speaker 2>not do enough to show how immersed in this fantasy
<v Speaker 2>world and this fantasy life.
<v Speaker 1>Juliet is because it got her in a.
<v Speaker 2>Detrimental effect you can have on the real world.
<v Speaker 1>Because it got her into danger because they went to
<v Speaker 1>this place and whatnot. But it's like, why don't you
<v Speaker 1>just do a quality at your house? Then? What? Why
<v Speaker 1>is she now suddenly crazy? It's like, no, you were heavy,
<v Speaker 1>heaven heavily. You were heavily invested in this story and
<v Speaker 1>this world two minutes ago, and now she's cooged because
<v Speaker 1>she wants them to I get it. That's to wrap
<v Speaker 1>up the episode, but silly parody. Weird because the two
<v Speaker 1>months later and they the place in New York has
<v Speaker 1>received the manuscript, but it's not what they're looking for.
<v Speaker 1>But Moxer for being rejected much as willis your letter
<v Speaker 1>all the way from New York and that's it, Like
<v Speaker 1>that's the end of it.
<v Speaker 2>Well, no, it's not quite because Home has written his.
<v Speaker 1>Own but I mean Lisa's menu, that's the end of
<v Speaker 1>it quite, Like, well, we did make sure that Qualia
<v Speaker 1>is never mentioned again, so that's it. It'll be an.
<v Speaker 2>I was punchline to have Juliet have written her own
<v Speaker 2>Equality of book and it actually becomes she becomes like.
<v Speaker 1>J K just about to say I can't believe that
<v Speaker 1>the punchline here wasn't because I thought it was going
<v Speaker 1>to be. Unfortunately we already have a similar story from
<v Speaker 1>one Juliet blah blah. Yes, And I was like, why
<v Speaker 1>is it was right there? Yeah? The fucking payoff was right.
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and have like as the author of a Juliet
<v Speaker 3>k Yes bowling. Yeah, he gave us nothing. There was
<v Speaker 3>no wrap up, no parody, It was just bar wocking.
<v Speaker 3>Her list is saying, well, a least you got a
<v Speaker 3>letter from New York. There was an actual joke there.
<v Speaker 3>Why didn't you give it to me?
<v Speaker 1>Mom?
<v Speaker 2>They gave us another jake and said, well, Homer said,
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna I'm running my own book based on my
<v Speaker 2>experiences as are dead. Except he's seeing what like someone's
<v Speaker 2>a hot dog and they're dancing donuts or something like that,
<v Speaker 2>and he just basically comes coclusion, writing his heart.
<v Speaker 1>Guess what, yeah it is. Yeah, you've shown that with
<v Speaker 1>this episode, Ryan Kelly. Is that meant to be his
<v Speaker 1>way of saying sorry, at least you tried. At least
<v Speaker 1>you tried in deed, So I'm sorry, Brian, but man,
<v Speaker 1>fuck you LISTA. The Drama Queen is an episode we
<v Speaker 1>shall not be revisiting anytime soon. Never. I haven't said revisiting, revisiting,
<v Speaker 1>will not be revisiting this episode. It was not good.
<v Speaker 2>No, but you get you know for that boy playing
<v Speaker 2>the Simpsons theme over the closing credits is it.
<v Speaker 1>Do you think they got to the end of the
<v Speaker 1>episode when we need to live them with something good
<v Speaker 1>they were thinking that instead you just get oh for it? Boy.
<v Speaker 1>The singer Pat Patrick stumps he does so many kids
<v Speaker 1>show theme songs. So he does the Spidy songs. That
<v Speaker 1>was all the Spidy soundtracks is another one he's done,
<v Speaker 1>Like he's really good.
<v Speaker 2>I was reading some article the other day about Mark Mothersbaugh,
<v Speaker 2>the front man from Devo okay, and he's done a
<v Speaker 2>lot of soundtracks, but there was one he did the
<v Speaker 2>soundtrack for some animated show or whatever, and it basically
<v Speaker 2>it's just like and now I own an Ailen something.
<v Speaker 2>He wasn't saying that, but someone was saying.
<v Speaker 1>Like that, John love it.
<v Speaker 2>So I wanted to put the extravagance, but it's like, yeah,
<v Speaker 2>he gets, you know, some exorbitant amount every time it's played,
<v Speaker 2>and it's played all the time.
<v Speaker 1>I thought your joke was going to be he wrote
<v Speaker 1>the soundtrack for a whippet.
<v Speaker 2>He was able to buy a dog, and that dog
<v Speaker 2>is a whibbit. I'll look it up and I'll try
<v Speaker 2>and put it in some show notes or something like that, but.
<v Speaker 1>We've never seen those notes.
<v Speaker 2>Of course, I always have the best of intentions, much
<v Speaker 2>like this episode. But guess what I was full shot?
<v Speaker 1>What do we learn? What did you learn it from
<v Speaker 1>the episode?
<v Speaker 2>Mister Davis that if you want to buy candy to
<v Speaker 2>share it. May I recommend a tasty almond joy I
<v Speaker 2>won't or a twist.
<v Speaker 1>It's only if I don't want to kiss Nickoler, because
<v Speaker 1>if I eat something with Owen's in it and kis Nickoler,
<v Speaker 1>she's in trouble. Well, that's right.
<v Speaker 2>What did I say yesterday about?
<v Speaker 1>Because what was it? We dissed Crispy Cream donuts. I'm
<v Speaker 1>not gonna lie. You showed me the pistachio donut from
<v Speaker 1>Krispy Kreme, which she's going it still looks they pour
<v Speaker 1>the stuff on top, because you actually watch them when
<v Speaker 1>they rip over that donut. It looks shit inside probably does.
<v Speaker 1>It looks looks thick, It doesn't look doesn't look how
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't delicious, But they pour their melk. They pour
<v Speaker 1>the melted stuff on top, so it looks all smoothing cream.
<v Speaker 1>That's not what you're getting when you bite into that
<v Speaker 1>don Oh no, probably not nola dry and yeah good
<v Speaker 1>Krispy Creme. Don't rate it at all, a lam a dream.
<v Speaker 1>I know they're ne gonna sponsor the show. I just
<v Speaker 1>don't rate Krispy Cremes. Let us know the listeners mailbag
<v Speaker 1>or four finger discount dot com dot you Chrispy Cream donuts,
<v Speaker 1>you rate them or not, so that next week you're
<v Speaker 1>gonna start a Simpson's campaign and they'll be like, who
<v Speaker 1>should we sponsored. I'm like, oh, no, delete delete dumb button,
<v Speaker 1>dumb but no, no, it's not interesting. It probably was. It's
<v Speaker 1>not interesting. I'm gonna leave that in absolutely zero interest.
<v Speaker 1>And what I was about to say, what did I learn?
<v Speaker 1>I'm just trying to find something here. I learned that
<v Speaker 1>one thing, one thing the bullies were correct about is
<v Speaker 1>that you can't eat peaches without cream. That's I'm not
<v Speaker 1>a big peaches guy. Nah, it's one of those there's
<v Speaker 1>millions of them, millions of peaches, usually for free.
<v Speaker 2>It feels like one of those fruits that I should like. Hmmm,
<v Speaker 2>you know you look so juicy and sweet and delaightful.
<v Speaker 1>This is gonna sound silly, but do you have any
<v Speaker 1>emotional connection to a type of fruit? I have an
<v Speaker 1>emotional connection to nectarines because the house growing up in
<v Speaker 1>nor Lane had a really good nectarine tree at the
<v Speaker 1>front that always kicked us during the spring, and the
<v Speaker 1>nectarenes were massive and huge, and basically the neighborhood would
<v Speaker 1>come in. It was like the neighborhood's nectarine tree that'd
<v Speaker 1>come just put the nectarines off and just grow new ones.
<v Speaker 1>Blah blah blah. It was just it was great. And
<v Speaker 1>we grew in a tourene tree here because I was like,
<v Speaker 1>I have this nostalgia for having a nectarine tree. I
<v Speaker 1>don't actually like eating nectarines, but I love the idea
<v Speaker 1>of a nectarine tree. It's like nostalgia for me.
<v Speaker 2>Well, I certainly don't have as emotional connection as you
<v Speaker 2>do that. It was a lovely story, Dan, though, because
<v Speaker 2>we had a little kum quote tree growing up.
<v Speaker 1>But excuse me, what come quartz?
<v Speaker 2>Oh local fruit that excludes in your mouth.
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a fan of those either, But I think
<v Speaker 1>the way you.
<v Speaker 2>Would the sky is like, oh, you know, comes the season,
<v Speaker 2>and yeah, the tree is just bursting with these lovely
<v Speaker 2>things you can eat. To quote Leonardo DiCaprio in that movie,
<v Speaker 2>don't look up that. No one never thinks about it anymore.
<v Speaker 2>We really did have it all, didn't we We still
<v Speaker 2>do to some degree. But no, I don't think I
<v Speaker 2>have as emotional connection.
<v Speaker 1>To fruit as you do.
<v Speaker 2>Although because this is very this is tangentially fruit related.
<v Speaker 2>But I was in Alder the other day, and you know,
<v Speaker 2>it's we're coming on a Hot Cross buns are were
<v Speaker 2>and we got variants, variants love them.
<v Speaker 1>You've got like six different packets or whatever. You said.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well yeah, but I haven't done that yet because
<v Speaker 2>the cinnabon ones are coming out of the end of
<v Speaker 2>the week. But I was in Aldi, so they got
<v Speaker 2>their versions of hot Cross buns. They got a BANOFFI version.
<v Speaker 2>You know how I feel about but get you in
<v Speaker 2>the I'm getting that.
<v Speaker 1>He hot Cross buns.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well I had one with my coffee.
<v Speaker 1>The other was like, holy shit, this is good. Lively
<v Speaker 1>in my best life.
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, that's my emotional connection.
<v Speaker 1>Your delivery there was very norm esque, like the other day,
<v Speaker 1>you're doing normally Donald? Yeah, what l two. That's how
<v Speaker 1>he told his story. It's always kind of going, yes,
<v Speaker 1>he has ah. You know norm No one respected him
<v Speaker 1>in the It was too late before people started to
<v Speaker 1>really respect Norman Donald. Yeah. I think the true comedians
<v Speaker 1>comedians respected if you knew, you knew.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and now everyone was like, oh my god, we
<v Speaker 2>didn't know how good we had it.
