Honey, save it for fiestas. Four Finger Discount Dude, Welcome to
Fourth Finger Discount, the podcast where we always refer to ourselves as Torntosaurus Sex.
This week we hit the review episode seven of season seventeen. It is
episode G A B F two two. It is the last of the red
hot mummers. I'm Dando and I am Guy also known as Jurassic Fuck No
No down to How are you good? So I was just mentioned to you
off the air you're rocking your new beanie. I've always had here on the
podcast that guy rocks a good beanie. And it makes sense because you're just
tell me this. This beanie traveled all the way from Europe, so hey,
there you go, didn't He's got a hat all the way from Europe.
Marge got her hat, and you know, Lisa's going to Italy.
It's sort of all ties in. I'd like to I won't lie to your
listeners, all to you, Dan, though I mean not today at least.
I'm always lying. But I'd like to say it all came together in
one great scheme, like the unified theory of four Finger discand that we often
talk about. But no this was just a happy accident, a lucky fluke
that all my postmen arrived at once as well. It's a really strange incident.
I was looking out the window thinking, because I are you like this
When you buy stuff online, I'm always so excited for it. When you
see it's like it's it's on board for delivery, You're like, oh,
yes, yes, I'm constantly hitting refreshed. I'm like Zugerberg at the end
of the social do we have any friends yet? Do we have any friends
yet? Like, where's my ship? Where's my ship? And they said
arriving today between one and three. I'm like, dope. And then I,
you know, I'm looking out the window. I can see that my
oman, you know, my normal postal delivery person is doing the rounds,
like, oh, you're gonna drop off stuff for me in a second.
And then I saw the van coming and I'm like, oh my god.
They were both at the door at once. It was incredible. It felt
like all my Christmases have come at once. Why did they get jealous?
Like it's a lot super awkward. That's like, I suppose they're all not
enemies, are they They're not sort of like competition for each other. They're
just like I said, just like, hey Bert, here you doing.
I'm wondering if you know, if you get in the van and you're delivering
packages as opposed to delivering letters on the bike, is that a kick upstairs?
Is that a promotion? Who knows? I'm not too sure. At
least you wouldn't have Maggie swooping you if you're in the van. Correct.
Have you seen the new shields at the post he has now? Like their
little guards they have they're in like little tiktoks or rickshaws, and yeah,
it's it's it's really fascinating. Look at the you could do a really cool
sort of not stop motion, but you know, the kind of thing where
you see the evolution of time sort of spent up over things like you know,
he's a posty walking around with his back. Now he's on a bike.
He was on motorbike, now he's in a little rickshaw. And then
I guess those jobs are always going to be there because we're always ordering shit
out online, aren't me. I spoke more now more than ever? Yeah,
now more than ever. Yeah, that's that would be a good time.
Like's actually I actually had to be card be cut. I mean post
post person, post delivery person. I mean, I want to say postman
because I want to I want to be one one day. I feel like
I can see myself just being a post for a couple of years, just
to hang out and relax and just I feel like you're bringing joy to everybody.
Well, that's the thing. I mean, the person who puts the
letters in your mailbox. Sometimes it's like you're being evicted or you know your
electricity costs six hundred dollars. Yeah, fucking hell, I'm not exactly gabby
to see you. But the post the delivery person in the van bringing you
a box, like this is the shit I ordered, This is the shit
I want to give it to me, Give it to me. Yeah,
so you're always happy to see them. I think if you wanted a bit
of an ego boost or a bit of a is it serotonin? What's the
what's the that just that that makes you feel good? Yeah, the feel
good chemical? Yeah, the one that there's a few, but I think
serotonin is the is the one. Yeah, you'd get a bit of a
serotonin. But it's like, hey, there's so and so with this address.
Here's the thing, thanks so much. Oh do we need the same
thing? No? No, no, they's smile on your face is proof
of identity enough? Yeah, well, I think you know you ordered too
much. When you sort of become mates with the postman like they remember you,
it's like shit. But I've always said I think being a posty,
like delivering packages would be a great job. Or for some reason. I
know it's probably volunteering. You don't get paid for it, but I like
the idea of is being like the lollipop man, like lollipop lady for school
for kids. It's just I've walked Elliott to Kinda the other day and it's
the first time we'd actually been on the other side of the road because the
parks were all then to cross the lollipop crossing and that guy just blues whistle,
holding up traffic, being smile on his face. I'm like, this
guy just looks like he's having a great time. I understand that just that
lollipop man or posty, that's that's where I vision myself eventually, it's just
for a year, I wouldn't man. Yeah, I mean, just you
know, you get your van, you know, you probably load up your
playlist with some cool tunes, and it's like driving around seeing new areas,
and I wonder if there's any podcasts hosted by a post like Posty Podcast,
and then just you know, whiles they're driving around, they're just recording your
podcast talking about their day hanging out with the post on the delivery day.
That that would be a thing, right, yeah, well you could do
a YouTube channel. Let me imagine you just hanging out with a Posty,
set up your dash cam. It's like okay, woom, heading to the
wrong side of two careful, hey, guys, come up below. What
do you reckons in this package? Let's make this happen Posty Podcast. I'm
always thinking, always unless you keep patronizing this show. This is the future
of four Finger Discount. It's four finger Delivery. Yes, yes, all
right, yeah, well, thank you guys for chutting too the show.
Hope you are enjoying everything we're bringing you here on the four Finger Discount network.
De forget we've got all the other shows here. One a ten minute
had about the origins of my hat. Yes, but we are. This
weekend is Easter m so happy Easter tour you lovely people out there, Happy
Good Friday. It's the most wonderful time of the years. I love Good
Friday for some reason. I mean, Christmas is great, of course you're
a you're a big Christmas guy as we all know. But it's a hectic
time of year, you know, the lead up to it, and you
know it's always you're good to go with your family. You don't have to,
but I mean, and yeah, that's pretty good when you do.
Feels kind of like, oh my god, there's so much going on.
Good Friday is traditionally the day when everything just like, let's just sit down.
Let's just we're turning everything off. You know, we're turning off the
world. Yeah, shops a shut put the Good Friday appeal thing on,
like you know, it always makes you feel good in a day like gay
we beat last year's record, you know. Yeah, everyone's hand out a
few bucks to help out the sick kids. You know, it's the day
you traditionally eat hot Cross buns all the oh I mustard meit um. The
fine folks that will Worth have brought out a brand of hot Cross buns with
Cara milk studs in them. Holy shit, and they're so delicious. So
I'm breaking the tradition and actually having hot Cross buns before Good Friday. I
sorry, guy having a big rant at supermarket about I know it would have
been last week. I'll mobe Friday night about the price of hot cross buns.
I just just like walking through the bank and see this guy yo out
not fucking paying that, and then I don't fucking by him. And this
guy's holly of hot Cross buns saying four bucks, four bucks, and the
guy, the guy goes the two for six. He goes, fuck,
I don't care. He throws it down. I'm like, mate, it
is not this kid's fault. I'll price the fucking hot cross buns. It's
just here trying to make a buck. Do the math, dipshit, Yeah,
okay, two packs of hot Cross buns equals twelve hot cross buns for
six dollars. That's fifty cents a bunt. Pretty good price, pretty comprised.
You're average barn. It's fairly dense. You know, you whack a
little butter on that, a little you know, you're sweet condiment of choice
on top. It's like, holy shit, fifty cents for that, you
know, with your morning coffee. Fucking good on obvious to be a big
fan of the choc chip ones. So I still do the choc chip muffins.
I believe they do. Yeah, I like the chocolate chips, but
they have like the cross that's chocolate on top, and that ship never like
melts. It's always just crunched. It's so good to quote Hall and or
Roads. I can't go for that. No, not good, no,
but anyway, Yeah, so happy Easter to all you. Also obviously the
supporters on Patriona getting this pre Easter, or you guys out there on the
free feed, we love you all as well. You're getting this after Easter,
so you hope you all have fantastic East. I'm really excited for Easter.
Alliott's super kean, but we're going with the vibe of not going to
be just overflowing with chocolate here. We're going for a couple of presents and
some chocolate eggs because we just don't want a house full of chocolate eggs because
nicola and if the chocolates there will eat it, and we're trying to eat
a bit healthy. We're going to England and July and things like that,
and I'm like, I don't want to cover it for a chocolate and plus
you don't want to. I do not want to be a grinch, but
I don't want my kids eating chocolate for the next six months because you buy
so much. You know. No, no, just get one good bunny
or one good sized egg and a quality one. I've got I've got two
bunnies each for each kid, a biggish cabrit egg each, like a Humpty
dumpty one each, whatever it is. And there's a couple of packs of
a couple of the twelve packs, you know, the small ones, they're
fine, the little ones, Yeah, they're good. And Nicola likes her
lint bunny. She has to have her lint bunny every year, her lint
bunny with a little bell. Yeah. I'm getting a lint bunny for each
of Louise's kids, the Louise And she's because I said, I'm trying to
get the kids, you know, east of waste Gas and I don't go
overboard. Let's not go overboard on this ship. And I'm like, I
knew what you mean, but still, because they never ever take them seriously
when they say that means get me something good, though, I'll go overboard,
but I want something. But you know what it is. The little
bell on those bunnies just makes them feel so prestigious, doesn't It's like,
oh, this is special. That and the gold wrappings. Yeah, I'll
never get an oster, but I did get a lint b. It's like,
it's like the Grammy of Easter ects. Let us know your your Easter
stories. Hey, hey, I just realized this episode is about Easter.
I'm just not they're doing Easter hunts. Oh my god, it just ties
in. What the fuck? It just tied in perfectly, see the unified
theory of four finger discounts. It remains in place. It just dawned on
me. Holy. This episode starts with them doing an Easter egg hunt.
Wow, there you go. Why does this ship always work out for us?
Oh? I'm not complaining. It's good though. Let's not complain about
shit working out for yes, exactly. But the last of the red hot
mummers another margin mummers, red hat mummas. I always say hot, okay,
red hat mums. That makes far more sense. They were hot though.
I guess Dando just got negative points on the guy David's no you Jelly.
The last of the red hat mummers. So, yeah, another story
where marges the a neglected mother or a neglected wife, but that aside,
I just neglected in general wife. Yeah. It feels bad enough when you's
like, you know, when Homer disregards or when the kids are sort of
like underestimated or whatever. But yeah, this is just like, oh my
god, you have a friend in the world. This is so sad.
Yeah, the lines where she's like, I guess I'm just not meant to
have friends. I'm like, Jesus Christ, this is meant to be a
comedy. Why do you make me feel bad all the time. It's like
the fourth because there's been a Triouse of Horror rises episode, there's been six
episodes that are not Triouse of Horror Bass, so six cannon per se episodes.
I think five of them have been about Homer being either a bad dad
or a bad husband. But ye, and you especially deserve a friend.
As exuberant as Tammy, played in full voice by Lily Tomlin. What a
terrific guest performance. I was so. I was very very happy with what
she brought to the table. She's just full of energy. Now tell our
listeners, who is Lily? Give us a bit of a brief little guy.
Some synopsis. She is well now literally Tom's a bit of a bit
of a legend in the world of world of comedy. She was a stand
up comic back in the well, she may have even started in the late
sixties, and certainly in the seventies. Is when she's Martin's laughing, I
think in the sixties, right, that's right, Yeah, it sketch comedian.
I guess there's something you might say as well. Became very famous on
laughing for various characters. Of course, did not just stand up comedy,
but more like actual sort of stand up performances, not like not like a
five minute set or something like that, but a full on show, like
a theatrical show, and did heaps of those, and then graduate, not
graduated, but moved into acting. Appeared in a bunch of movies nine to
five, Jane Fonder and Dolly Parton is one of the most famous. Appeared
on a whole bunch of shows. I guess modern audiences would probably know her
best from say Grayson Frankie Nicola watches that of course, Yeah, yeah,
yeah. Louise's young son FeelA incredible young man about twelve years old, but
just the mind of it, like are you a child or are you in
fact, are you Benjamin Button, are you an old because he's like sounds
that we get along because I'm very much the same. He's incredibly into Grayson
Frankie's like, you're a twelve we were old boy. This is not for
you twelve. That is a little but yeah, a remarkable, remarkable brain
on that boy. Yeah, it's better than the ship that he could be
watching you know, well that's true, I mean occasionally be watching young Sheldon.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was like going to Grayson Frankie.
Lily was also in m Lewis Wing right correct. Yeah, Now she's had
a really varied, incredible career, you know, clearly very talented person,
very um a very smart comedian as well. I mean, I will say
my knowledge of her body of work is not as broad as it should be.
I really should. I got a lot more of this stuff. But
I mean she's one of those people who has sort of been part of the
establishment for certainly as long as I've been around, and that's a long dame.
So yeah, probsolutely Tomlin and yeah, but you know she is showing
up on the Simpsons back in two thousand and five and just really bringing it,
you know, just bringing a lot of fun, raucous, exuberant energy
to this supporting character of Tammy. I think it helps too when she's brought
in during a story and during a scene in particular where Marge is so depressed
and down, and she brings that, like you said, the energy.
It's just like that's such a contrast, but also too a character who is
so positive and intelligent and determined, and particularly a female as well. You
don't get that many characters like that in the Simpsons anymore. I just feel
like there's not much positivity in the show. Like Wigham and lew are always
arguing with each other and a comic book guy, and like, I just
feel like this this is just very pessimistic humor. At the Having said that,
I mean, I've actually found it really nice in this episode that you
saw this hidden side of Millhouse. We will get to that when we get
to that absolutely bit. But you're right, I mean there's a lot in
this episode that's kind of you know. I mean, I think you know,
something that made us fall in love with the Simpsons and fall in love
with Springfield in general was they were kind of battlers. I mean, it
wasn't exactly Struggle Street, Evergreen Terrace or anything like that. They were suit
of your typical middles family. Yeah, but they were they were getting by,
you know, they were all right, but you know, of course
life was throwing curveballs at them. But generally they were positive. They had
one another, they had the community, they had, you know, a
sense of self as well, so and then we're going to be sort of
walking around beaten by life. Occasionally they were as you all, as you
always do, as we all do, but generally there was an optimism,
kind of an understated optimism, like, look, life kind of sucks,
sometimes it's generally pretty good if you've got someone to you know, someone in
your corner or at anything, yourself, or you know, the support,
you know, the community that knows and respects and likes you and all that
kind of business. Roseanne Barb builds a bils living around that kind of aspect,
didn't she Like the average family that battlers, but they find a way
because they've got each other. Yeah, yeah, I mean yeah. The
Roseanne Show was yeah, very much a celebration of I guess blue collar America
or blue collar community and yeah, of course there are other shows like that
as well, but yeah, and the SIMS wasn't quite that, but it
was despite the fact that they were animated and all that kind of business.
You still if they still feel incredibly relatable. Yeah, but in more recent
episodes it's kind of it's become more cartoonish. Yeah. Yeah, and not
in in attitude, if not in presentation, but even things like in this
episode you say cartoonish, like you know, mister Burns, mister Burns character
is just so cartoonish now, oh you needs to be back next Tuesday and
want my eyeballs read whatever. And I was just like, I hate how
they turned Burns in to this just weird. But it's like he's in human
now, no cyborg of capitalism is what he yes, yes, as opposed
to just I'm thinking about comparisons when it's in this and It's a Wonderful life
for instance, where you say home or would be like the Jimmy Steward character
but not quite as nice. But mister Burns is definitely, you know,
the head of Pottersville. You know, he's the guy who basically owns the
town because he owns so much stuff in it. That's enough. That's enough
of a of an adversary or enough of a looming threat. You don't need
to turn him into a cartoon villain. No sense, not at all now.
I also I loved Lily's performance as Tammy, right, I thought she
was just fantastic. What was the point of the cheery red tomatoes? They
didn't really. They threw Agnes in there so that we had a character that
we knew that they could give lines to. The rest of them were just
stock standard, just fill up. They won't They didn't say anything. They
were just there to fill a gap. And then when it came down to
like the heist at the end, why do they need all of them?
Like Marge went through open the front door, Agnes have the code. Why
did you need ten women there to grab a negg out of a vault?
That's the thing. If you're going to do an Oceans eleven so hist deal,
Yeah, yeah, do an Oceans eleven thing where everybody has something to
do exactly. That's the That's the great joy of a heist movie or a
high story. It's like, you think we need one more, We're going
to need one more to pull off all this shit that we want to do
now, ad middly, you're doing this in the space of a twenty five
minute episode or whatever, so you can't necessarily flesh everybody out, but just
even do it in a little shorthand bit where it's like, character A,
you're doing this, character B, you're doing this, and yeah, and
even do it in Oceans eleven Star with a bit of a sort of a
flashy little montage bit. Yeah, because it just cuts it just cuts them
at the vault, and I'm like, oh, this isn't a heist,
it's just a break in. Yeah, there's a difference between a heist and
a break in. It didn't even give us like a backing cool backing track
where it like doing all all shit and stuff. But I just I've just
got here. This episode. What it needed was it needed to have this
cheery red tomatoes or che red tomatoes. Yeah. This gang needed to be
all characters that we know, and it's like a secret society kind of group.
Wasn't one that just sort of goes to Johnny Whatevers and has margaritis and
laughs about whatever. I just think that the characters meant nothing. The highest
meant nothing. At the end, the whole story really meant nothing because by
the time we got to the end, Marge still doesn't really have any friends.
No that yeah, bad band ending, band ending. Yeah, we
can't see each other anymore. I'm like, why, why can't you see
each other anymore? What's what? Yeah? A little bit of background as
per Wikipedia on the Cheery Red Tomatoes, which is actually based on an organization
called the Red Hat Society Incorporated. Yeah, which, according to our friends
at Wiki, in the fall of nineteen ninety seven, Suell and Cooper,
anatis from California, bought a red hat on a trip to Tusun, Arizona.
She then brought another red hat and gave it to a friend as a
birth gift. She was inspired by the poem warning, which begins, when
I'm an old woman, I shall wear purple and a red hat which doesn't
go and doesn't suit me, which is that's a lovely philosophy, like when
I'm old or wear purple. So it's code for like, I don't give
a fuck anymore. Yeah, that's great. So, yeah, the cherry
Red Tomatoes are clearly play on the Red Hat Society. But yeah, I
mean they just need it to mean more. Yeah, I mean I just
sort of arrived out of nowhere, just the bunch of ladies who have no
lines. Just they're standing around having a gut margin when she won't do what
they tell her to do. And I'm just like, yeah, And look,
as much as I dug the whole b plot in this, with Lisa
needing to learn Italian and Millinghouse miraculously knowing Italian and being a really good teacher
at it, I don't know. I would have been happy if you'd shaved
five or so minutes off that and devoted it to fleshing out the cherry red
tomatoes, making them making those tomatoes a little more fleshy. Yeah. And
I just think having them be characters that we know would have made it far
cool. And I feel like, you know, a montage of them breaking
into Brands's mansion via heist shenanigans would have been cool. Yeah. Oceans loving
have been out by this point, hadn't it, So you could have done
Oceans twelve by this point you could, Yeah, I mean yeah. The
thing about Oceans eleven as well, was it was it kind of it set
a lot of trends. I mean, there were a few higst movies that
came out after because Oceans eleven did really well, but also stylistically is like,
oh this is super cool and think that you can. It's more than
two decades old. Now you look at Oceans eleven and down it's like,
oh shit, this could have been released yesterday. It's it's timelessly fucking cool.
The twist at the end, it's just like, exactly love that movie.
One of my all time favorites. We should definitely discuss it on a
movie guy at some point, we really should. It's like one of my
first eight movies. Okay, yeah, well it's a movie that Yeah,
no one dislikes that movie. I've never met anyone to dislike that movie.
You're first getting to know someone you want to have like a movie. N
It's like, God, Ocean's eleven. He whenever could look at that.
You know, it's one that I can't imagine many people disliking, and everyone
sort of feels comfortable with it. I did this thing, this podcast with
a friend of the pod, Charlie claus And not long ago, where we
talked about, you know, movies that you shouldn't show on a first date
or the you know the movies that you brought to the movie party when you're
a teenager and everyone this movie sex? When did you bring it? You're
a weirdo, So it's you could really kind of be fraught when it's like,
hey, honey, let's have a movie night. You know, you're
first getting to start to know this movie is showing me is awfully sexy?
Why did you show me something so rybald? Yeah? But enough of that.
Yeah, they dropped the ball a little bit with the with the cheery
red tomatoes. I feel this episode would have been even better had it started
with them breaking into Burns's mansion, getting caught, and then going, you
know, two weeks earlier, Yeah, well, why it's much of these
people? What are they? Why they breaking to Beds's mansion? And then
then that could be telling you how they got to that point. Yeah,
because we're starting to well not starting to see there's been the formula this way
for a while that you have inciting incident. Okay, so this is why
Marge doesn't have any friends. Now she's going to have friends. The whole
Easter egg hunt at the Quimby mansion just felt kind of pointless. Well,
this ad and this added in November two, so it's like it wasn't even
about Easter time. It was just the best bizarre yeah yeah, which which
is it kind of runs counter to if we're going to be talking about favorite
moments, anything with Quimby is one of my favorite moments. We're talking about
that shortly. But yeah, I mean having like the setup of oh my
god, there's a highest going on, and who's doing this highest? What's
going on? What's happening? And then three weeks earlier or something like that.
Yes, that would be a far more entertaining an engaging way to start
the episode in my opinion. Hey, Matt Selman, Bill, our friends,
it was Simpsons adjacent in Geelong. Who could really help you out twenty
minutes. I've just come up with a better episode. We're just spitball on
here, folks, but we're on We're on target. But getting to the
under sized story with Millhouse and Lisa whist we're discussing before let's start what the
positive is, right, So I really enjoyed the fact that Millhouse, you
know, he was actually swooning Lisa, like he was winning her over.
We've never seen him actually win over Leasa he's always been in love with her,
and she's like, oh, I'm not not now meal House. And
even at the start of this he's like, oh, gelato for the pretty
girl, okay, and then by the end she's almost like, may were
you? I could sort of go for this guy's pretty cool, and then
he pulls like a Tony soprano and he's like, ah, do you know
she's the entree he got the main cause it looks so fucking cool in that
moment, don't you reckon? He really does. I mean, it's it's
one of the nicest visual gags in this episode that he's wearing those big,
thick, thick glasses that are basically I associate him with the great Italian films
from he was in a bunch of like great Italian movies in the in the
sixties and seventies, and part of his look was, you know, those
big thick, big thick frames. It's like, oh, that's nice.
They're sort of paying tribute to, you know, the heyday of you know,
Italian Italian style, but yeah, bitter than Julia, just the just
the on three you're the man. I thought that was marvelous, despite the
fact that he's a scumback playing cards with Bart at the same time. Um.
Yeah. But the thing is, though, the next episode of the
show is The Italian Bob, where they all go to Italy. I'm like,
how does this happen? How do you have a side story of Lisa
I wanted to go to Italy and the next episode they just go to Italy
because mister Burns sends him there. I know, I mean, I guess
I think I new in the back of my head it was coming up,
but I watched when I watched this episode on Disney Plants, it's like,
coming up next the Italian Bob. Wait what we just did it stuff now?
I mean I haven't watched The Italian Bob. Yeah, I don't know
if there's any connection between these two episodes. I can't record the being a
reference to this, but surely, like if I'm at Simpsons HQ and I'll
see this happening, And even if I don't even realize at the time that
they're going to be releasing this order, but before the Italian Bob guest the
air, I'm like, we have to at least reference this. Yeah,
that would be some direct references. It's the fact that last week Lisa or
she wanted to do was go to Italy and Millhouse totter Italian. This has
to be referenced. Yeah, I mean, if if in the Italian Bomb
you have Lisa either unable to speak Italian or just not not reference at all,
we go on honestly, what the hell? Yeah, yeah, she'd
better be able to speak Italian because I will be none too impressed. But
yeah, I mean, but I like the b blud. I thought it
was I thought kind of funny. What I thought was actually interesting was this
was the second highest rated episode of the season. I can't imagine then promoting
Lily as the guests would have been enough to bring in that many viewers,
I guess to just people. I mean, I don't think she had anything
that really sort of monumental going on in two thousand and five or in the
thousands, like special guests are Lily Tomlin. It's like, no, I
mean, I think he would have gone and guess Aaron Lily tom was like,
let's know, it's good on him. Yeah, But yeah, I
don't think she was like top lining a top rating sitcom or anything like that
at that stay. She may have been on the West Wing at that during
that period. I don't know, let's have all two thousand and five.
Yeah, that was ended in two thousand and six, didn't it? West
Wing? Quite possibly, but I don't think she was on the West Wing
at that point though. I think she had left by that point, hadn't
she. Oh look, she still would beat the forefront of people's minds over
obviously, but still like to the casual Simpsons fan Simpsons audience member, she's
not going to be enough to draw you in. But yeah, I thought
it was interesting. Eleven point four six million people watched this episode and Marche's
son poisoning as well, Likeveno like apparently at one point five million people didn't
watch last week or see him a run, but they returned again for this
week. Yeah, who knows? Who knows what's on the other channels at
this time? Yeah? Exactly right, Yeah, back when channel changing was
actually a thing. When he gets this sacks when I was on Let's see
what else is on? During the ad? Hey, my favorite it's what
were your favorite moments from the last of the Red Hat mumments? Finally,
but I've been going am missus grandell as I mentioned, big fan of anything
to do with Quimby. I just I like that corrupt horny dude. Yeah,
so yeah, a glimpse into his private life, particularly seeing I think
what what some website is called his a strange wife. I don't we've talked.
We talked about this not long ago. Yeah, is he was he
married? Do we ever see his wife? And next thing you know,
we're seeing missus Quimby doing basically a Jackie Jackie onassa slash Jackie Kennedy kind of
thing with welcome to the you know, governor or was it the mayor's mansion
or something? Well said, he does say my seldom seeing wife. Maybe
it was one of those things where they thought, you know, we see
him with flusies, that's funny because you know, we know he's cheating,
but if you see her all the time. Maybe there was a fear that
they wouldn't see him flusing as comedy. They'd see it more as him just
being a dirt bag, because they wouldn't want you to get because if we
saw Homer flusing around, we'd be furious at him. But we see the
man. We see the man doing like, oh, just just joke,
Quimby just being a rascal, being a politician. But if we knew,
if he, if his wife was a recurring character that we know and loved,
we wouldn't find it funny. I don't know, maybe particularly in this
situation where you see the actual mayor's office and yeah, you push a certain
button, it just turns into sex. Then yeah, that's even unconsciously it's
going to go. I guess there are consequences to his catting around, but
still I thought it was all pretty funny. I didn't realize that that music
that plays, you know when when missus Quimby pushes there, this is how
he alerts his chief stuff and you know, the go go dances come out
and you see the Austin Bowers bed and all that shit. I was like,
oh, I've heard that music before. I should I should look it
up, or I should try to sham it, you know, briefly while
they're doing it. Luckily, and this is why Disney keeps checking it out
of the park folks. Disney plus, you know, put in a little
little subtitle saying it's called music to Watch Girls by, which is first of
all, incredibly appropriate and secondly, what a remarkable name. Let's let's let's
fine I'm sorry. I should have done a little research before we before we
began. Oh is that just what the Disney The Disney subtitles just referred to
it as music to Watch it a girls by Well, it had it had
what do you call it? Some little music quote marks around it Andy Andy
Williams. Wow, Nelson's favorite. Nelson's favorite. Oh my god, it's
all coming together. The web is just you know, tightening tightny. But
music to Watch Girls by Doug that as well something else I loved little literally
yes done. I love when to get at it reminds me of when I'm
I'm a Homer is a Danish or whatever? He goes there donuts donut?
Yes, so yeah, clearly they mean I think there are all their impressions
of literally a lift lifted from the Godfather. But two, because it almost
seems that way that it's someone dressed in like a white suit or a white
coat or something just going around and you know, sampling delightful treats from the
street. Then I thought it was marvelous. But it also makes me want
to go, Oh but literally, let me be nice to visit. You
know, there's you know, just the streets are full of life and the
air is full of lovely cooking smells and no, no, they're just real
vibrancy to it is that little which is just fish and chip shop in a
bakery, still pretty nice. Yeah, is our version of Little Italy,
just like on Street. I reckon it must be. Yeah, yeah,
I'm sure there are other suburbs that have shall we say, a continental or
Mediterranean flavor to them. Yeah, well, we went to I think it
was San Diego that had Little Italy. Maybe maybe it was San Francisco.
It was it sounds like San Francisco, San Francisco. He's got a great
china down and all that as well. I think it was San Francisco.
I think it just came back from the pier, the per thirty nine whatever
it is, and we wanted to get some gelato. But like we were
in there, it's like no Little Italy in the engine. It's just like
entering a new world. Like it was just it was. It was lovely.
But my favorite episode that Fait Motion. This episode were a bit of
an Aliens reference game over Man game over. One of my favorite quotes ever.
But it's just like if something's going wrong, it's almost like if you
know you're all going to die. If someone said that, you'd be like,
ah, fuck, it is game over. But like it makes you
happy at the same time, like a you know, sort of see the
positive situation bit of Bill Paxson Game Over Man, Game Over. By the
way, not to um oh, maybe to throw a shout out to another
podcast, I mean something need all the help they can get all. I
think this guy's doing it right for himself. But did you ever watched Smallville?
Here and there? A couple of my mates loved that. My uncle
Darren actually loves it. But yeah, I've heard this great if you're a
sitting mad fan. Yeah. The actor who played young Lex Luthor in Michael
Rosenbaum, and he's got a podcast called Inside of You where he interviews a
lot of other actors and things like that. I saw some of the people
that he ended up in my Algorithm the other day and I'm like, oh,
let's have a quickly this because I mean, one of the last ones
he did was with Michael Bean from Aliens and from the Terminator and a bunch
of other stuff. Who's had a really interesting last couple of decades and all
honest team and he's been had some ups and downs. So is he played
Kyle right, He's Kyle Reeson in The Terminator, He's Hicks in Apiens.
But he was good friends with Bill Paxson. They made five movies together,
and a lot of talk about Paxson and that, and it's like, oh
man, this was good. And then went through some other interviews and he's
got Michael Rooker on there from Guard to the Galaxy and that's a that's a
great chat as well. I mean, so, I don't know if you're
interest didn't celebrity chats Inside of You was a pretty good one. Michael rose
a Mound. If you're listening, I want to come on a four finger
discount have a chat. We'd be more than happy to have you. I
also really enjoyed the Mo payoff at the end, didn't he coming? That's
true. It's just like a random gag of us another most suicide gagmod episode.
And at the end because at the time I didn't even think so it
was Mo gonna die because how's it possibly gonna get out of that situation?
Didn't enter my mind at the end the book on top of the Hot air
Balloon, How had this happened again? How had this happened twice? I
was like, that's that's a funny payoff. I like it well played.
There was also there was some other not bad payoffs in this, but we'll
get to those when we go through the entire party. Any more brain Busters,
Blockbuster, Brainbust the time November twenty seventh, two thousand and five.
Montwo three have barely changed since last week, still at number one. Harry
Potter and the gobble of the fire in number two is what the line in
number three? What do you think is number three? The clue Brady Bunch
vibes. I was thinking about this actually because I think there was there was
a bit of a phase in the early two thousands where they were doing a
lot of blended family movies. Yeah, and cheaper by the dozen. That's
when it comes to mind. One they remade with with Steve Martin who played
his wife. It might have been Bonnie Hunts unh Yeah, yeah, I
think Ashton Coulcher was Actually, no, was Ashton Coulcher one of the kids
he was in He was in a movie though, with a bunch of kids,
wasn't he. He wasn't in that movie. No, let me,
never looked. Maybe he was by the doesn't cast. Let's have a look.
I'm just googling the cast here. Yeah, but I think they made
at least two of those, and then they rebooted it recently with um,
I want to say, Zach Braff as Dad on Disney. Plus. I
did see that, Yeah, like, what was that as sar As I
was at a movie. I think it was a movie. So we've got
here. Steve Martin, Hillary Duff was apparently in it. Oh okay,
Hillary Duff, Tom Welling, Charlie played Touch, Charlie Baker. That's small
Ville. That's Superman from small Yeah, exactly. At all times, we're
not planning this. This is actually happening in real time. But it's not
cheaper by the dozen. That was this one. I think it was a
remake of like a sixties family comedy and I think it was called Yours Mine
and Ours was the film you nailed? It had eight kids, one had
ten. It was like eighteen children or something. See, they don't make
movies about this anymore now. They just do reality shows where they hunt down
some weird ass Christians from Middle America. Apologies to weird ass Christians in little
American. I've got all these children, that's your problem, lady, says
a widowed Coastguard admiral and a widowed handbag designer fall in love and marry,
much to the dismay of his eight and her ten children. Now it's Dennis
Quaid, but I've forgotten who the is it? Renee Russo? Yes,
correct, sure. As a mother and father and a shitload of eighteen children,
I wonder I have any of the bunch of kids who You'll look through
that and it's probably like, oh, you know, one of them went
on to be on a Disney Channel thing and the rest of you know,
I'd like holding up liquor stores. Yes, all right, well that is
the brainbuster blockbuster what on, sir so? Yeah, still a number one
Harry Potter Gobbler to fire when this episode aired. Number two we have what
the line? Number three? Yours mine and ours? Next question? You

you is what do the kids have to be aware of to beware of what?
At the Mayor's Egg Hunt? Was it rat poison? It was rat
poison? Don't Yeah? Nice? Thank you. When Lisa is looking at
ads on the that are pinned up on the thing, Yeah, there is
a model of car that is not the sale. The person is clearly just
bragging about the car that they have. Yeah, there are two thousand and
one BMW. I think I was like, I know the joke you're making.
Never is it a joke? I mean odd a four year old?
Yeah yeah, someone wasn't a little in a new car. It's weird.
My next question is how does Marge keep her hair the way it is?
What does she use? Oh? Damn it? Think of okay? Two
clear forward something that that's the first the first word, three words. First
word the rock is the clue. Second word and third word is so.
The third word is Andre is the clue, and the second word is what
Andre lives in. Let's see you can work this out. First, first
clue is the rock? Well, Dwight Johnson Johnson's Andre? What was Andre?
He was a giant? No, not the giant. Who's the movie
Andre? Oh you're talking about the seal? The seal and what a seals
live in water? Johnson's Water Sea. It's like you're throwing in so many
wrestling things. It's like, Oh, you're talking about Andre the Sea.
I remember that. I've no think I've ever seen that movie. I maybe
dicks. I think I had on VHS actually, but I'm just remembering the
cover and it looked the most nineties thing ever. It was like a chick
with like a fucking head on backwards and you know, cap on backwards.
Yeah, it's like, yeah, I'm dressed like a boy. Yeah,
just like exactly what I'm saying. All right, what's your next question?
Homer made what out of Marge's wedding dress? Ah bad mitten nette or something
he did which he never uses. Who left Nana Sophie with child? An
American? Gi? Yeah? What was his name? Though I didn't say
that he did? Yeah, he goes, he goes My uncle Bustardo.
Oh the child? That was the child? Yeah, guy, I've got
most question is how does this logic work? Okay, okay, okay,
So uncle Bustardo was the child? Okay, yes, yes, yeah,
and yes, you got any more questions for me? Um? I do?
Um? What is the name of Burns's dog groomer? Michelle? All
right, Michelle. Indeed, I believe that was a male too, because
I think he says he. Oh, okay, then I was just looking
at the subtimes where they had the l E on the end, but it
might have been Michell. The original air day of the Last of the Red
Hat Mums was November twenty seventh, two thousand and five. It was written
by Joey H. Cohen and directed by doing a stuck. There was no
chalk gag, but the couch gag is where the couch is a giant nest
and a mother bird flies in and feeds Homer a worm. So the episode
kicks off at the mare's Easter egg hunt and he's rarely seen. Wife.
She says a few words and she introduces hugs Bunny, who's legally not allowed
to hug any children. Well, we'll back up kid. Yeah, then
we get the dumb wife the mistress, And I'm like, a guy will
be happy you told me you were graduated from typing school. Problem with the
space bar, it's a hard one. It's a hard one too to wrap
your head around. And Nelson, now he's eating birds. I'm like,
very well dressed Nelson in this scene. Did you notice that he's all hairs
parted and he's all wearing a suit and tie. It just seemed very overly
dressed for an Easter egg hunt. But us eats the bird bird's eggs.
No, no, ya, Ralph, there's a whole in your basket.
Yeah, he's his brother. This was to the point where I was like
I'm either finished, I'm done with his character, or you need to rework
it. Because having him just not so much of the eggs, with the
with the hole in the bottom of the basket, but him just going you'll
lead's brother, I'm like, oh my god, I'm done with it.
If if you can't do anything good with it, just yeah, don't do
anything with it. Yeah, that's that's that's thirty seconds we could have had
for some cool highest action. It's just because the character Ralph is to have
dignity. Now he's got it. Now he's just I don't know's it's at
the level where you almost feel bad laughing at him. Now it's not with
him, it's it's just it's not not not good in my opinion. But
Maggie then she feels left out, and I've got here, I am totally
homer here. If I saw kids stealing eggs off my daughter, it would
be hell to pay Maggie. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maggie feels very
left out because all the kids have all the eggs and she's got nothing.
So he starts stealing the eggs from the other kids. And I think I
would do this on the sly, you know, I would. I would,
you know, if a kid was going for an egg and Holly didn't
have any, I would just fuck off, kid, You've already got one.
I would give it the holy I'm all about sharing every kid Easter hunts.
Every kid needs to get at least one egg, you know. I'll
by the way, so I know, I felt horrific today, but it's
all right, happy and happy end to this story. Sund Eli to daycare
today, blah blah blah. Nichol sends me this message. She's like,
I feel horrible. I'm like, why she goes today? Was the easter
bonnet bonnet hat the eastere the easter hats that you make right. A message
came through on the thirtieth And this is what ships me about Elliott's Daycare is
they sent through these messages on this app just hoping that you're gonna assume that
you're gonna read them right. Things like this put a fucking sign on the
door so parents that don't look at the app know that no, next Monday,
he's going to be the Easter prey where every kid wears a hat.
They show the photo of the kids who have the hats. Allie's the only
kid without a hat because I didn't read the app and I'm like, well,
I didn't know, Like, it's not it is my fault, but
I felt horrible. But they're doing it Monday through Friday every day, so
he gets to do it another day. But I'm just like, I felt
so bad. But a little dude's sitting there in the fucking photo. Everyone's
at these easter hats on and he's got nothing bigs mile on his face.
But I'm like, oh man, the poor kid. God, I would
have loved it if he was pulling in kind of still pretty fa it would
have been it would have been like a meme, would be would be like
a global men kids have no hat on. Oh it's ended well, but
I'm yeah, I'm not a fan of we send it out there an email
or you know, it's on the portal. Yeah fuck off. Yeah,
gods, you're fucking bottle. I saw him a kid in it out and
that's all I'm doing. I don't read shit, but um yeah, so
it's gonna you know, he goes back on Friday too. Who get to
do it on Friday with all of you, all these other mates? But
um yeah, so Homer steals the egg, gives some to Maggie, then
hugs Bunny. He's not a fan at this, so he fights Homer,
and then Homer uses a chuckle Bunny as a weapon. He smashes it like
a bottle. Funny visual. I did like that, Yeah, And then
marges on tour with I don't think the mayor's wife has a name. I
remember she does. Let's have a look. Mayor Quimby's wife should give her
name, missus Quimby Martha Quimby Martha. There she is. She has a
name. That makes sense. That's scams. You are now in the mayor's
offers. This is the switch the mayor uses to call his chief of staff.
That concludes our tour. I feel that would be such an exhausting job
being a go go dancer. We just paid a standard a cage, just
dance the whole night. Be like fucking now. Could you imagine standing in
the one spot dancing all night? Holy Christmas? No in a cage,
let alone, listeners, how much would you pay guy Davis to go go
dance at your function? Let us know? And then double it. Homer
slashes through the window and he makes a scene, and the wife then says,
there will be no tea. Now she pushes the button for security.
You throw them all out, and then the women come out once again.
Everyone blames Marge. Get cookie Quine here saying, you're not going to get
any fridge makee this year with the what is it the calendar fridge, Mat
says, because that's what real estate people usually give you. We throw those
out anyways, you lie, We do too well, throw those things out.
I only got to get in early. Yeah, I might use the
first one and then never pay any attention to it. Anything that comes after
that they'll just throw out. Yeah, but if one comes like either the
very end of the year, it's like, here's your here's your calendar for
twenty twenty whatever. Cool, hot damn day, good Friday? What date
um? But otherwise, now that he's peg him throwing out almost flirting with
Marge in bed, he's not picking up on her signals. He's embarrassed her
once again. He's made her angry, and she says, you always ruin
my friendships. Don't have any friends because of you. And then he says,
you've got Lisa and the stove, And I was like, are you
going down the wrong road? There, but he has not the bully.
Yeah, not good, And Homer says, well, I'll have to find
find Marge of friends, and he has a random vision of him being friends
with a dolphin and Marge thinking that he's cheating on her with a dolphin.
As I've written down a lot of pointless gags here, yeah, it's just
mate at the gag coming killer. There's a gag coming up that I think
might be the stupidest thing that I've actually seen on The Simpsons to date.
We'll get to it, though not far away. And then we get Lisa.
This is actually it. This is the moment. So Lisa's looking through
some some opportunities on the on the notice board, right, and she finds
the Rome pamphlet about you know, I guess what what is it? Is
it? What's the trip for? Is it exchange? I don't know,
Like, okay, I think American schools do this a bit, particular more
in college than anything else that you do, like a year abroad or a
semester abroad. There was a great article not long ago actually written by this
American girl who went to Florence, Oh, Florence or Milan, but like
an Italian city for a semester, and she basically wrote about how much it
sucked and how much she hated it wow, and everyone just dragged. It
was like you're in one of the most You're in this beautiful city and you're
like, oh, and it's when to stein and do my work. And
all my friends were saying, no, let's go to see this Italian ruin
or maybe trysting like like nice Gilata or something. People like, you suck,
lady, why did you go with if you didn't want to go to
Italy? Boo boo boo? This woman boom tomatoes tomatoes, tomatoes. Sherry
and Terry rocking up discussing twin stuff, the secret language bit. I'm like,
this might be the stupidest shit I've ever seen on The Simpsons. I
think that's what I meant by the pointless gag. I think, yeah,
that's that's what I That's when I wrote down the pointless gags. Here,
let's talk, I mean a secret twin language. And then it's like ten
seconds of them just gone, what the fuck am I watching? What is
this shit? It was terrible, It was terrible. It just like the
stupidest thing ever. What don't you looking for Lisa summer opportunities. We're going
to Twin cap Oh my god, spend that summer in Rome, Rome founded
by Twins. By the way, Hey, where'd you go? Oh well,
let's talk a nice secret twin language. Skinner's office and Lisas wants to
take take him off on the opportunity for the Rome trip, and he says,
well, one of the things is you need to be able to speak
fluent Italian. This actually should have made one of my favorite moments. I
liked his response. So she says, why would I live? I couldn't
flawless logic. Flawless logic, That's that's just Harry. Sheera killing it though,
Yeah, because that's yeah, that's just wonderful, like flawless logic.
But unfortunately gonna have to hear you do it not now that I've got a
meeting perhaps tomorrow. That doesn't work for me. Friday's worse than Thursday.
Yeah, exactly what I was getting those Radio Bart vibes is very good.
But I've got here brackets one of the positive guys just love that line so
much. Not this line Radio Bart. The day one about Thursday. I
said, Thursday's worthday Friday, So I don't know what get that so much.
He's aggestions that's wise. Okay, sorry, yeah, I think you.
I think you lost it when we did that review of Bill likely as
well. I think Bill's like sitting there and you just like lost it.
I said, fine, true story, but story. But then um,
we get I forgot here in brackets. This is one of the positives of
being a good student, is it. He can get away with the ship.
So like her, Bart says this, He's just like, you can't
speak Italian, but like, I like to think that skinner. He kind
of knows that Lisa can't speak Italian, but he's given her. You know,
I'll give you a few days. I'll give you a few days.
Homer and Butt now at the supermarket, and he tells Bart to go to
the shopping because he has to go find Marge of friend. He's made these
food stamps, okay, whatever, And then we get a line here.
I'm just like, man, this is just sad. It's like, oh,
there's someone that could be much as friend. She looks defeated too,
and I'm like, oh, man, And then I've got here this I
can understand why she ran away from Homer unlike the woman that you sheard the
other day where she's a guy approached her in the car park and she lost
her mind at this guy, do not approach a woman in a car park.
And I'm like, but what have you left your bag on top of
your car? Or what did your lights were on? Or what did you
dropped something for listeners unaware of what we're on about it. YEA, something
I shared on Twitter was a woman had she was in her car at the
car park, at the at the mall or whatever, and yeah, just
did this two minute rant on this man just approached me in all this kind
of business and do not approach women, do not approach women and gentle and
and all he said was miss Yeah. A bunch of my mates was five
seconds later, dude flipping through personal looks like I'm eating to night. Yeah.
I mean, I wanted to come up with some kind of quip,
but I just really felt sad that there was this erosion of trust. I
mean, some of that may be justified, but some of that may be
overreach. Yeah, so went away, but yes, this woman wholly justified
and running away from Homer. I want to rent a small boat Faia Barca.
I plan to dump this body in the ocean. This is what you
get for asking questions. I've got here very old school with the old tape.
Remember when people said learned languages like this, push play, turn tape
over. And I've never learned a language that will language at school. But
I've never self taught a language. Have you ever done that? No?
And you know, part of me wonders if it's too late, you know,
if there's all this talk about you know, you'll listen to Todd Sanson
on what everyone's saying. No, you've brains a lot of plasticity. Still,
you can still do shit, won't you. Yea's the things that it's
not whether you can, it's whether you want to actually do it. That's
true, Luya, I am honestly a believer, and that pretty much anything
can be done if you put in the hour. It's put in the effort.
Then she sees the lessons. The lessons add up on the up in
the wall, along with all the others that we mentioned earlier, did like
Martin's bike called Nelson, And she says, a river dirty ignorance. Now
river dirty means watch mister Davis, see you later. Yeah, until I
see you again. Goodbye, farewell, and Homer then introduces Crazy Cat Lady
as a friend potential friend to Marge. So Marge leads and disgusted and then
challenges her to throw a cat over the house and she does and I was
like, all right, whatever. Marge then wanders around the streets really sad
with everybody who playing everybody hurts yeah a song. Thats just some songs just
managed to get you. Every time that song comes on, You're just like,
now, I just feel sad. It's impossible to not feel sad when
that song is one. I think it's been overused to the point where I
mean I would have to read I would have to not hear it and forget
about it entirely for maybe good five years, and then come back to it
and just listen to it untainted by you know, thinking about people just sort
of wandering around looking all sad and shit. I really like R E M
M. I don't think it was a huge fan of that song when it
first came out, but I'd have to hear it and oh, wow,
this is actually really heartfelt and pointed and all that stuff, because now I
just associated with like shorthand for like when someone's sad, I guess it's almost
also sort of like um with without you first of me, you just hit
it. You're like, all right, I get it. Yeah, someone's
just point yes and i'd just walking around and she helps the lady, she
grabs her hat and introduction to Lily and literally just brought so much positivity energy
to this role. It's really one of those guest roles where you're just like,
you've really just made this episode better by being involved with it, isn't
it. Yeah, it's you, and you've elevated the material as well.
I mean it's not it's not she's not a bad character to Tammy, but
I mean yeah, literally just really juiced it up. Lines like that,
you know we're gonna have Margredis and Poke fun at our husbands. That's not
necessarily funny line, but the way literally delivers it with so much enthusiasm,
You're like, it sounds like fun. Let's do it, you know,
and Marge then she starts Randy about Homer and then she says save it for
Johnny Fiesta's we come back from commercial and they're watching has been Celebrity Poker at
VIC tay Back Motel and Casino in downtown Las Vegas. Have you ever been
to downtown Las Vegas like that? I've ever been to Vegas at all,
really at all. I think you may have told me this. I find
that the one thing that I would like to do, and I've said this,
I'm sure it has drive from La to Vegas and get to Vegas at
dusk. I think exactly what Nicola and I did, like on the money,
like the sun was setting as we arrived. It was bang on.
Did we were to drop we want a drop toop? We're in a convertible,
Yes, in a convertible yep. Yeah. It was the fucking vest
Man. It was so good. That's what I want. We tried Carls
Junior on the way, which I was kind of disappointed with, but I
was just like whatever. In a similar story, the Lovely the reason I
tried Carls Junior. We were driving back at dusk from Talquay. Not good.
It was fine. It was Jack. It's a solid three out of
five for me, very much. I Mean, every time I've been to
the States, particularly the West Coast, I'll be like, oh, tell
me go to in an out burger and yes, all right, it's too
bad. I guess, um, I think I had five guys when I
went to I think I either I had five guys or State or shake Shack
when I went to New York. Like, yeah, that's pretty good.
Honestly, I'll put the burger that I made the other day up against just
about anything. Homemade burgers are the best. Oh yeah, but this I
found this guy on YouTube who was who may I don't know it well,
clearly came up on the algorithm because of my glutton but it was like trying
to make a hallepen New cheeseburger on now one. I had recent podcast,
think it was the King of the Hill. You're talking about how you were
watching some guy making the chicken dish. How much how much time do you
spend your in the day just watching YouTube food videos. I allowed myself a
little tree. Yeah yeah, it's like I've done some work. It's like
I got I got five ten minutes. Let's look at this guy. I
mean that the chicken and Chips guy was a TikTok that was like okay,
yeah yeah, but this guy, yeah, I mean it was Palapenia cheeseburger,
but he had like a Gorgonzola mayo that he made from scratch, and
I was like, oh my god, that looks so creamy into dis Yes,
So we went down to goals and I got all the ingredients and made
my own and you know, chopped up some little baby sputs and put him
in the air fro. It made burger and chips better than five guys,
better than shake shack. I liked the end to take it celebrity poker here
because that was just heaverywhere at the time, remember World Series Poker, Like
everyone was playing poker? Weren't they on too? It really was, and
it made Yeah, it's sort of it either re booted the stardom of some
people or have made other people. It gave some people an edge apparently,
like Toby maguire made a made like an absolute shit ton of money, Wow,
playing poker, maybe more than he made playing Spider Man. Well you
have to think that, you know, actors would be good at having poker
faces, right, that's true? Yeah, yeah, But I always had
this This is a back dad back to high school, had this idea for
like a like a Happy Gilmore esque movie but about poker, like some lark
in that you know, he shouldn't be on the on the on the World
Poker too gets on there somehow and all the big poker players hate him,
and just classic happy Yilmo of us shouldn' McGavin style thing at the end of
then the Grand Final. I just felt like that just ever wrote itself,
Like if that film came out like two thousand and three, two thousand and
four, who wouldn't have gone to see a happy Gilmore version of the World
series? Poke, I don't you reckon? Yeah, I mean it was
probably one of those Happy Madison productions that throws off to his buddies. Yeah,
exactly that kind of thing. Yeah, the guy who's the star of
Grandma's Boy or something like, he's you know what was his name, Alan
Covid I think or something. Well, yeah, Alan Coovid is poker fist.
That's his caddie, right, Yeah, Yeah, that's a good thing
about Sandler. Just helps helps his buddies out, helps his birds. One
of the best jobs in the world would be one of Sundler's buddies, Like
that would be the best career in the world when to get to hang out
with Sandler, you know, making shit movies, but getting paid a fuck
un to do it having fun, or someone pointed it out because I think
Murder Mystery two dropped on Netflix last saw the ad and I didn't even know
there was a number one. I looked at it and I was like,
I'm gonna wash this. You've got me Netflix. I think I'm going to
wash this. But a reviewer I really like pointed out, it's like it's
so strange that you know Marvel will take you or no, no other Netflix
movies will sort of take you all around the world, like Red Notice or
The Gray Men or something. And they looked like they were filmed in a
warehouse with a bunch of green screens and it's Sandler Movies and actually, holy
shit, they're actually in Paris. Sounds like I ain't doing shit unless you're
paying for me to go to It's like you're taking me and the fam to
Europe. But anyways, it's the crusty Bales on this. You know,
he doesn't want to do the celebrity pokers. He's playing for charity. And
Marge arrives in her sexy new red dress and she's now a junior member of
the Red Hat of a Red Cheery was it red Cheery Tomatoes. And I
like to look on Marge's face when she's sort of showing off a red dress
she had, like a nice little she's pretty smile. Wow, mom,
great red dress. For your information, I am now a junior member of
the Cheery Red Tomatoes march in a gang. Who are you going to do?
Shoot me with a frosting gun? Seriously? I would love that.
I'm like, Hema, what are you doing? Mate? But you spent
the whole time trying to find a friend, and they you're laughing at if
for having friends, Like, what is happening? Maintain some consistency, please?
Yeah? Yeah. They then laid the museum. She saw you.
You guys had to make fun out of everything. And then they're leaving the
Museum of Suffering. And then Millhouse arrives to teach Lisa. She doesn't believe
that it's going to be him as short thing Bart told you about it.
You're just pretending and um no, he says that, you know, every
summer for two weeks he's sent to Italy, where he lives. He's Nanna,
I'm the tutor of the company, sent over. I'm here to teach
you, La Lingua musica, you really speak Italian. See my grandmother,
Nana Sophie, lives in Tuscany. Since I was a baby, I spent
two weeks there every summer. Nana hated English because in World War two at
GI left her with child my uncle Bethstarto. Nana only spoke Italian to me.
Questi in meo caubino olivea. I love you, Nana whoa idiota.
Every time I spoke English, he hit me, he didiota, I'm sorry,
I'm so stupid Milhouse mussolin ivan Houtiano idiota who I felt sorry for little
Millhouse here. I love you Nana Idiota. I'm sorry. I'm doing some
idiota and I'm like, oh man, poor little Millhouse. Nana Sophie is
just getting getting the job done. And that's where he's um. That's where
his bed wedding started. As a child who as someone who went the bed
till I was like eleven years old. I wonder what because I didn't want
the bed. I started with the bed again when I was like five five
through like eleven. There must have been some memory that happened, something that
happened to me at that point that caused me to wet the bed, because
you'd have to think that's where all stems from, right, something that not
tragic, or just something that's sort of playing on your mind. It's causing
anxiety or something. Well, yeah, just some sort of switch that gets
flipped in your head or a little bit of wiring that gets crossed or whatever.
I mean, I don't even know it necessarily. I mean, actually
know I shouldn't say, because I'm not an expert on this matter. But
it may not even have to be in things sort of dramatic. It might
just be, like you know, it might be just a degree of comfort.
Yeah, yeah, no, But it did not ruin my childhood by
any means. I had a great childhood, but it prevented me from experiencing
a lot of things because of my fear of people finding out that I went
to bed. So I'm share out to all your people out there the bed
when your kids, I know what you were going through. But also shout
out to my main man, Alliot, guess what he started doing last week?
Every time now he poos on the toilet, Nice one, eliot.
J O'Neill of the Simpsons podcast, Oh, we're talking about other room.
We had so many people telling us, you know, he's gonna be starting
school next year, you've got to make him pool on the toilet. You've
got to start four. You're start put you know, pushing him to use
the toilet. Do you know this when you know? When you you well,
by the time you were three, you were pulling in on the toilet.
I'm like, he's four and a half now, and I'm like,
Nicola kept saying to me, he will do it when he's ready. I
was like, and I'll start to sort of be convinced by all these people
saying no, You've got to start making him pull it. And then one
time I said, come on, let's try on the toilet. He's like,
no water and I was like, all right, then going your nappy
and like we're being judged. I was like, where's alliotm I He's pulling
his Nappy're like, oh, okay, sure. And then one day he
just went, I have to do a pooh and he went and put on
the toilet and he was like, I put on the toilet. It was
like, so proud of myself. I gave him a toy. It was
just so proud of himself. Except now he thinks every time he pushes on
the toilet gets a toy. He doesn't now, but but you know,
this is the thing. He was so proud of himself, and I was
just it's so lovely as a parent seeing them have those like leaps where he's
just like, we didn't we didn't cross one more off the list, cross
the list. So all your parents out there, if your kids still pulling
your nappies and they're like four or five, Allet was he's five in July,
so he's like over four and a half, don't panic. They something
just flicks, switches, flicks, and they just decided. Ali just decided
one day he's gonna pull on the toilet and he was done. He just
had to overcome that fee because one time he did pull on the toilet and
the water touched his ass and he was like, that's it, I'm done.
Like it scared him. But then you know he's just he's pulling on
the toilet now. It just it just happened. Would never do anything,
he just decided. So you know, new parents out there, just don't
panic if your kids shitting in nappies. They will eventually use the toilet.
It will all be fine. Don't listen to all that outside noise of what
your child has to do. Your child doesn't have to do anything. Shout
out to Elliott well down, Shout out to Elliott. Yes so Yes,
Paul little millhouse here. He spent two weeks in Italy with his Nanna,
which I'm assuming he would have been nice, except he got slapped around every
time he spoke English. But that's how he learned how to speak Italian.
The Red Cherry Tomatoes and drop off Marge. Tammy drops her off anyway,
and they send her a text message you rock. And she feels very very
proud of herself, and she feels very included, and she's feeling happy.
And this is actually a nice moment where she walks on the door and home
as a sleep with a little notes saying, I hope you had fun.
I'm like what you mentioned consistency. I'm like, how have you had him
being a dick this whole time? And now he's just sitting down his pj's
with I hope you had fun? Like, can we just have this home?
Please? Just just give us this home. Surely you can set up
the fact that Marge wants friends without having to have Homer beat a dick like
it could there could be other ways of doing this, but yeah, do
you think so? Yeah? Middlehouse then arrives and Lisa has some flash cars
prepared, because you know that's Lisa's I've very much like Lisia regard where I
like to be prepared and overly prepared for everything. But he rips them up.
I love this. You don't learn Italian, you live Italian. And
also takes me a good forearms strength by forearm and wrisk strength from Millhouse ribbon
to get ribbon out that list of flash cards. It was indeed fairly thick
pile. They'd ride the scooter through little Italy and he's like a guide there
and you orders one gelato for the pretty girl. Luigi apparently doesn't speak Italian,
just speaks the fractured English that's what his parents English. And then they
arrive home. I thought the sun said they had here was quite nice.
You mentioned how you know, driving at Vegas when the sun was setting.
Here it's just sort of nice music. And they arrive home sunset. She
gives him a kiss on the cheek and I'm like, oh, sparks are
flying. Then Nelson punches him in the stomach for sea, don't be in
love stupid, And I'm like, this actually makes sense because Nelson sort of
like still as a thing for Lisa. He can't win. Yeah, and
also, yeah, you're right about Nelson here. Marge is then skydiving and
they say to it, we'll have a surprise for you when we hit the
land. They do like a little what's a call? When yeah, I
don't synchronize the synchronized skydiving. I guess you would say, I guess or
yeah, like we all hold hands and form the circle. That's what I
know. The one. Yeah, I'm trying to I don't know if it's
got an actual name, but yeah, you see it all the time when
people in the group skydiving. It's like, oh yeah, it's like fun.
I've never skydive. I still want to do it. I would like
to do it, but I won't do it. I just I'm just too
scared. That's one. That's one thing I don't think I'll ever be able
to make myself do a skydive. Yeah. I think I just hated if
I was like, uh, you know the first time I did it,
it's like, yeah, the ground about ah MUSHes, I really shouldn't have
done this. This was stupid. Yeah, stupid, stupid, stupid.
Idiota, idiota, Why do you want to do? You want to scot
But yes, this is where Mo falls through the circle and which pays off
at the end. You think he's trying to commit suicide, which he is.
Where he came from, I don't know was above them, Marge Simpson,
we hereby induct you as a full member of the Cheery Red Tomatoes.
I feel a happiness I've never felt. I not only have friends, I
have a hat to prove it. Now, Marge, as a full member,
you get to share in all our secrets, like a recipe for my
apple pie. The secret is it's got apples in it. And now we
can tell you the secret plans for our fundraiser this year. We're gonna steal
one million dollars from mister Burns. You're choking. You've got to be choking.
You're not joking. Any other surprises. I'm not a natural redhead.
Then we come out a commercial and Marge says that, you know, I
just can't do it. You know, I'd love to be part of this
team, but I just cannot do this. And I explain how he promised
money to the children's hospital, much like the Good Friday appeal here and yes,
and he rather than donate the money at the last minute, he decided
to keep himself alive for a further ten minutes by using all that million dollars
and he releases the hounds. I'm just like, this is a pretty dick
move by Burns to put on this whole elaborate you know, events and everything
and then go, actually, I've changed my mind. But they say that
he's got twelve Faberge eggs. Are they really worth that much money? I
think egg's worth a fair bit. Again, tying into the whole unifying theory
of fourthing of this game. We mentioned Oceans eleven before in Oceans twelve,
which I think came out around two thousand and five, it's all about the
theft of the faber j a egg. I think they got they cost a
fair bit, or they're worth a fair bit. Surely this isn't meant to
be their take on Oceans twelve, right, because it's nothing. No,
absolutely not. You wouldn't think so anyway, But um, but yeah,
they need Marges skills and I've got here. Ah, Okay, so they're
using her too. So it's just like, oh, they didn't really want
to be friends of Marge. They just saw her and and her skills,
the fact that she's skinny. I'm like, really, that's it, Like
it's just so lame anyway, but they she agrees to do it because they
say, bare heir, we're gonna take your hat away, and Stanley drops
down. They threaten it. You better do it, we say. Homer
is then watching Fox Sports West two Classic Fox Sports Fox, which is funny.
It's actually kind of like that. Now there's so many Fox Sports channels.
It's Adams World. It's one of the best jokes in in Dodgeball in
the Dodgeball movie that they've got it's airing on their channel? Was it?
P ESPN eight The Ocho the Ocho Marge and sneaks out. She says he's
gonna be bird watching, But I was like, why would she be going
on bird watch? She left this guy to birds and home learns the road
run as a real. Then Lisa's singing about Mellhouse and she's you know,
gushing over him. She bles him a kiss, and then she goes outside.
And this is the thing though, Marge sneaks out at night, but
then we cut to Lisa going outside and it's daytime. I had noticed that
very sharp down though, and also very dull and bluntwitted on the part of
the Simpsons people, who really dropped the ball with that one. But he's,
um, yeah, she's she goes at the back, and before he
discussed this Mealhouse is out there with Antietica. I love to watch you walk
away or whatever it is. It's just like seeing Mealhouse. Beer boss is
always fun. New house. Just what is going on? Run along,
Angilica, Nana too fast, Lise, Lise, she is the upper die
sort. You are the main course. Don't a cat conquest Squandrina, Lisa,
you're speaking perfect Italian gatty. Homer is going through Marge's clippables and capables
a little what's what's these? What is fault? Minila? Is Manila folder?
Oh you're a little Manila folder, filing cabinet? Yeah, a few
of those. Got office works and get those occasionally when you're thinking time to
get my people work cooking, and it's it's fun coming up with the names
for each Tabit's like, oh, what will I call this one? Brick
a brac whatnot? Yes, what's not? And he finds highest plans from
mister Burns's mansion. Why she's got that? I have no idea how much
plans does this need? Marge sneaks through. Hey, Marge don't know what
her job was until she got there, So how does she have the highest
plans? I don't care. That's because you've got to keep the story moving.
Then leave their mansion and they have a banded conversation about his knees being
back tomorrow from the shop, and then the cherry red tomatoes and sneak through
the drain and they say Marge is the only one skinny enough to squeeze through
this vent to go through and open up the door. And it's like,
okay, so that's her special talent being skinny. I'm looking at it.
I'm like, she's not that much skinnier than anyone else on his team.
Whatever, it's it's the strangest thing. Homer is then on his way to
stop March from doing something reckless and irresponsible, and as he's doing that,
he smashes through the art fair and then we get another random moment here.
So the police seems to fly past right like we're going to chase him.
Eddie, you get out in direct traffic, and I'm like, why is
Eddie directing traffic? Well? Why what? What? The lights were working?
Like the lights went from green, yellow, red. Home went through
a red light. Then weim goes we have to follow him. Eddie get
out in direct traffic. I'm like, and they sit there watching direct traffic.
I just don't understand. I don't understand. If he directed them to
drive through the traffic so they can get through like stop cars and going so
that the place could follow how much of Burns's mansion. That would be one
thing, But I didn't do that. They sit there and gush at him
tasing super us. It's just this last act is random. Man, No,
man, I didn't write this episode, but it's no good. I
got the combination from Burns after I let them feel me up during the depression.
Zero to the right, zero to the left, back to zero.
Why'd you wanted to save you from the cops? But the cops followed me.
Came over, man, came over. So are you going to introduce
me to your friends? The word mister Burns. We'll get to the bottom
of this. Excuse me, low I'm supposed to say that acting like the
chief doesn't make you the chief. It's acting like the chief. I need
size fifty eight pants. All here we going with the fat jokes. You
know, I just wish you could hit the easy targets on the firing range.
So well, hallo, why do we hurt each other? So?
Because sometimes it's easier to be cruel than to say what you really feel.
Permission to hug, Chief, Permission granted, granted, lou Baker, Chief,
do enough. While you morons are canoodling, someone's burgling my miscellanea.
Try to take my eggs, will you? Well? This rooster has a
beak, a beak which calls out death the doodle doo way. You're old
women, I'm not, I suppose, but it's certainly bucksam and flirty.
Oh well, I try to have a good time. All I wanted to
do was join a group of women who wore the same outfits, who no
jury and knows will convict a bunch of moist aid mothers. Now, I'll
tell you what, ladies, give me my eggs back and a little gool.
This is one thing, though, a bunch of women all crying.
He's right, no jury is going to convict them. No jury's convicting the
ship, and burns and says, right, let me take the eggs and
we'll forget this ever happened. And then Marge has actually kept an egg in
her hair, the hair that tell me you didn't like that. They didn't,
yea, So it's an arsenal call back. So she gives them the
egg and then they say, just to be safe, we can never see
each other again, and they have a line of Marge saying I'll never forget
the three activities we all did together, and I'm like, I get the
joke there, but that joke's also telling the list of the viewer at home
that all this ship was pointless. There's meant nothing. Yeah, it's meant
nothing. And then I was like, you always have the one friend who
loves you body and soul. And I'm like, what the hell is going
on here? My hope has been a ship had the whole episode, and
now he's wide actual thing written down here. I'm sorry, Yeah, that
sucks. I don't know if they're expecting us to go, Oh, that
is right. Homer is the one who truly cares. It's like, no,
I don't think he does. And at the end of the day she
still has no friends though, and then there's a certain special thing that only
I can do, which is apparently booking your breakfast on a hot air balloon.
Whatever. And then we get mo landing on top of the balloon at
the end, which which was a nice which was a funny payoff because it's
just out of the blue. I didn't see it coming out of left field.
So yeah, the episode was. I enjoyed the Marge, enjoyed the
Lisa and Millhouse story. The episode again, I feel like this is a
thing now. The story there handled better would have been far more enjoyable,
entertaining. Make this heist worthy, make this about a highst. This whole
episode shouldn't been about the highst. You spent too much time at the fucking
Easter egg hunt. You spent too much time at Matt Marge being depressed and
sad. Get to the point, have I don't know whatever? Whatever?
What do we learn Palmer? All right, what do you learn from this
episode? Mister Davis? If I'm going to walk around feeling depressed, don't
do it to rise everybody hurts. What is your depressed? Your depressed.
What is your song? They're sort of like, it's not pure. What
what's like? I sin could say what song makes you sad? Then what's
the song that whatever you hear you go kind of reminds you of sad?
Shitt of mixed feelings about this one. It's sort of it's sort of makes
me feel a little bit sad, but by the end of it, I'm
kind of lifted out a little bit. And song called Wonderful Life by a
guy named Black came out in like nineteen eighty six or nine eighty seven,
so I was right in the midst of being, you know, teen,
not emo, but you know, you know what it's like when you're sixteen
or seventeen, you can not you you're a perpetually sort of cheerful and optimistic
person. But you know, sometimes when new teen is like life, nobody
understands me. Is it ever going to get any better? Just getting something
livings shit out of me. The Sun came out at roughly that period,
and you know, it's this guy's got to be quite a nice voice,
and near seeing the film flip, he's sort of it's in shot him black
and white and he's moving around this Overcome length and I was looking overcame.
This guy's a bit like me. And every once in a while I'll put
it on. It's like it'll take me back to that time. But you
know, it's got a little bit of a melancholy undertoned to it. But
then it sort of lifts up a little bit the end, not in a
huge wave, but it's like, yeah, yeah, that's my life.
It's not so bad. You know, I'm saying it's a wonderful life,
and I'm being slightly ironic, but by the end, I actually sort of
believe it a little bit. So I'll put a link to it on the
Facebook page for the Petreons. Yea um, but yeah, that's that's probably
my gray mood song. Mine, as strange as it is is Happy Christmas
War is Over by John Lennon, and it's and it's because so my uncle
Noll was killed at work in two thousand, just before Christmas time. It
was like December December six actually it was, and like he was like my
hero, like idolized Michael Noll, and like his death hadn't quite hit me
yet, Like I don't really like i'd cried stuff like that, but I
hadn't properly grieved about it yet. And at that time at primary school,
I was in grade six and my job at the school assemblies each Monday morning
was too. I was in charge of projecting random things. I don't know
whether other schools did this, but we had to teach you go mister Warren
who said this is part of the things that he introduced at the school.
We used to have the big white board thing with the projective and we used
to project lyrics up onto there of songs, and the whole school wud sing
songs together every Monday morning is part of the assembly. I don't know whether
other schools did there, but it's fucking cool man. I missed sing like
popular. It was. It was great warning experience. I look back now,
I think fuck mister Warren was a champion. But anyway, every Christmas
we would always play heavy Christmas war was over. I was always just like,
oh yeah, it's kind of like our as a live change symbolized the
end of the year, you know, all those kind of thing, right,
And I was remember put lyrics up and as soon as they fucking so
this is Christmas, and I just it broke me. I was like and
that's when I first properly. It reminds me of Uncle Noel passing away.
I remember like going to a room and crying, and I was shout out
to this girl called Shannis MacArthur. She was a girl at school who wasn't
necessarily friends with, but she saw that I was crying upset and left the
room. And she was the only one who got up out of the school
teachers included, and went actually came and saw make sure I was okay.
She shout out to Santa Shanis, if you're ever listening out there. But
yeah, that song reminds me of that moment. So every time I hear
I'm just like, ah, yeah, next, even though it's a great
song and I loved and I just can't listen to that something that reminds me
of that moment. It's weird. Now. I got one or two other
ones like that as well. I mean, there's Ben Folds five song called
Luckiest Okay that's really quite romantic. A lot of people play it, you
know, when they're walking down the alb I think it kind of came out
around the time my marriage was breaking down. Yeah, no, it'd be
nice if this was the case, but sadly it's not. Yeah, it
makes sense. Yeah, n forward your name troll me all right, mister
Davis. On a more positive note, it is time for the Guy Davis
New Name Championship four season seven team with the current leaderboard standing at this in
first position, we have one Luke McKay on nine points. We have Nora
Coca on five points in second position, and in third position we have a
one two, three, four five way tie with Garrod harrow Hill, David
Mott, Ryan Dunlap, heat Appleby and Fergus Chefs. Take it away?
What do we got this week, mister Davis? Right? Oh well,
one point goes to a friend in greed. Oh I like that. That
would be heat Appleby on he's now on how many points? Oh, he's
now he's now outright third, Well done, Heath. That will be outright
third on four points while played, sir, clearly we like those apples.
Two points to rotten tomatoes. That is Mark boston Burgess with his first points
of the season. Well played, Mark boston Burgess. You got Boston point
back. M hmmm, and three points goes to Hoist leaders. It's awesome
because it's funny. I just watched um it's like, you know, the
The Last Great Decade or something about the nineties. It was, and I
think it's on Netflix. That's kind of it's one. It's pretty corny,
but it has a whole section about Vanilla Ice and how he's sort of took
the world by storm and then like it was just gone. It was just
like he's just out of here. Well, I didn't really see David mcdonna.
I didn't real he David mcdonna. Yeah, he's in mcdonna's sex book.
Yeah, and that's why he left her. He's like, he's like,
I opened a book and I was in the sex book and I was
like, I don't want to be part of this ship. And he's like,
and the thing is, I looked at him, like he's angry because
he was in her sex book. I'd be angry because the sex book exists.
That's why it's fucking you're licking people's feet and storm like you just naked
with all these dudes. Like that's would have me. He was just pissed
off because he was in the book and he didn't he didn't know he was
going to be in the book. That's what he says, anyway, it's
just hilarious. I mean it's yeah. I mean, I size baby just
really took the world by storm for a little bit. And it was a
B side, It wasn't even and he didn't even ask Queen for permission to
use He just used it. But it became so hot that you know,
he got his own, you know, starring role in a movie. Cool
as Ice, Switch is gold awful. Um, and that was it.
That was it for the Vanilla Ice. I think he got advantage after that.
I mean there's the urban legend, which is probably actually true. The
record company big wig and they discussed this Sugar Night just hung him out,
hung him out of a window until I signed over the rights to the song
or something. Yeah, that's where we started death Row Records. That's what
he says in the doc. He's like, you know, my legacy now
is that death Row Records wouldn't have existed if I didn't make that song.
That's what he says. So he says that they came into his room and
gave him and basically just said to him they sold it to him. It
was the best idea for him to sell it to them. And I'm like,
I don't buy that for a second, Boddy, No motherfucker is coming
into your room and just explaining a situation where you're signing over the rights to
the song. What do you get out of that? Nothing? Either a
stupid idiot or you're in a situation where was there a life or death?
Which in that's in that occasion I can understand. I think you hung out
a winnow. Sorry, did we say who gave its high sized ladies?
Oh? We didn't, you know? Sorry? That's a clever Kyle.
Kyle muldoon with the three points. Clever Kyle. Yeah, that's Kyle's first
points four this season so far. Well, playing some newbies this week.
I like it. I've seeing it all getting shared around. The field opens
up, the race heats up nice. So first position still Luke McKay nine
points, second position nor A Coco and five and third Heath applebeet on four
here, all right, mister Davis. A couple of quick mail bag questions
before we wrap this bad boy up? All right, first one here comes
on this episode. Yeah, we've been waffling on about a lot of ship
Andrew JP, how do you celebrate Easter? Growing up? It was a
Solomon respectful occasion, going to Mass at least twice that weekend. Now it's
about relaxed, watching rugby league and eating a lot of chocolate. And we
pretty much explain this at the start. That is correct. Yeah, my
good Frida as always. Yeah, hunt down the best hot cross buns.
You can have them with a nice cup of coffee. Get some fish and
chips. Because I'm Catholic, sometimes I would make my own, but usually
I will just go to the fish and chip shop. Um, watch a
bunch of movies. Just enjoy the peace and quiet of the most peaceful day
of the year except for Jesus. I love them. I love the panic
that kicks in aut like seven pm on Thursday when everyone realized the supermarket's going
to be shut for one day. Yeah, it's forgot no milk and bread.
It's like COVID all over again. Yeah all right. Mark Boston Burgess
says, what clubs have you, guys or have you chaps been in?
I'n't ever been part of football clubs, played football? What about you?
You're I know you were you in rowing? Were you in a rowing club?
Is that all right? I rode at school? Yeah, I mean
I don't think I was actually part of it, like a row club.
I was part of the I was part of the Goosebumps fan club. If
that's a that's a club that we can talk about. I mean, I
love the idea. I like the idea of a club, but at the
same time, I love the idea of being around like minded people. Yeah,
into the same ship that you are. Hey, the fourth Finger discamp
page you on a group on Facebook. That's a cool club to be a
part of. It's the coolest clubhouse in town. Yeah. If you guys
aren't a part of that yet, make sure you support us here at the
channel and join us here and you can banter with guy myself on a daily
basis and all the other lovely patrons in that channel as well. All right,
Andrew Swan, If you could have the chance to be involved in one
caper, oh, I love a cape caper way caper for the most unusual
item and get away with it. What would you want to heist? I
think it'd be like some piece of like random fucking movie memorabilia, like just
something stupid, like the phone box from Bill and Ted. Yeah, it's
it's it's not a good movie, but I like the idea behind it.
I think it was cool fan boys. Okay, And it was before a
Phantom Menace came out, and there was one like this group of lifelong Star
Wars devotees, one of them was terminally ill, and it's like, okay,
well, we're gonna drive to you know, Marin County or whatever it
is where Skywalker ranches, and we're gonna break in and we're gonna steal the
you know, the thumb drive that's got the workprint of Phantom Menace on it,
so our buddy can watch it before he dies. That's fucking cool,
man. That's cool. That's that's a nice idea. That's not too bad.
That's not gonna happen. It's cool. It's it's a fun caper.
Yeah yeah, yeah, I mean, I think the movie was, to
the best of my recogencition, was garbage. It wasn't It wasn't like a
real movie. It was a fake movie. No, no, it was
a movie. But I thought you meant like it was just a bunch of
actual Star Wars fans made a home movie about then trying to break No,
no, no, no, this was like a legitimate movie. Oh okay,
Okay. I thought it was just like a legit thing. I'm like,
that's fucking cool. These guys are doing this for their friend. But
anyway, I saw like the story, the premise sounds good. But yeah,
the ex was good. The movie was not that great. The fact
that I've never heard of it said something when I'm a big Star Wars fan.
But yeah, that's that's that's that sounds fun, all right, Georgie,
This poor fucker who's got some terminal disease having to suck it up.
Ago, No, it was great. It was everything I ever Fucking Charger.
I hope that's how the movie ends. I hope he gets forced to
watch. It's terrible. It's George Lucas go to this guy's graves, break
into my house. You would watch jargea fuck you you're dead Brick. By
the way, Um, I don't think in the most recent episode, but
the episode before it of the Mandalorian, which we should be talking about,
I'd take it like a Mandalorian, But it's not that good this season.
It's um It's it's possible, isn't it. Yeah, it's just okay,
um, but they had um the actor who sort of motion captured work was
for Jarja Banks are going named Ahmed Best? Who was? Who was?
He was the guy who rescued Grogu, not the most recent episode, but
the one before and they had a bit of a flashback. I think it
was on Correcciant. Oh yes, okay, I know you're talking about now.
Yes, he rescue Grogu, put him in the in the little sidecar
on the on the space motorcycle and did the mid air flight through the city
or whatever. That was the guy who did Jargearry. He was quite cool.
Yeah, actually not a little shout out, you know, yeah,
you handle the dual Lightsabe was pretty well and was like, yeah, you
actually go this guy a bit because you know, you connected one of the
most aided characters in popular culture. You know, give give him a bit
of a throw him a bit of a bone. And the guy who played
Darth Maul is one of the biggest Star Wars nerds of all time. He
does like a he has like YouTube videos where he does like trivia on some
popular ray park ray Park A little yeah, yeah, I was about to
say the little guy because you know, I could kick the shit out of
me, but he's not a big guy, is he not? Okay,
yeah, I know. Michael Darren tells me he watches him all the time.
Apparently just knows everything about Star Wars, which is pretty cool. But
we'll say that the last two episodes of Mandeloran have been a big improvement from
the first view, okay, because it was one that was like, um,
it wasn't even Mandalorian Center it was it was really more like and or
the thing where they had the guy who was the one of the scientists who
was experiment on Grogo and then he's like, oh, I used to work
for the Empire, but now I'm all about the Republic and he got sort
of betrayed by that other woman or something that that there's a payoff in the
latest episode where it's like, oh, I see where you're going with this.
This could leave I watched latest episode against Yeah, I'm just I'm watching.
I won't say it, but something happens in the latest episode where I'm
like, is this the start of the next trilogy? Because this is this
is actually pretty cool. Yeah. The last Mandla in the air last Wednesday
here in Australia anyway, felt very much like classic Star Wars. It's actually
pretty good, interesting. All right, well I'll get on that. All
right. Final question here, we'll pick one more because we're gonna get to
move on, all right, Alex Rodriguez, this is the episode where we
find out Millhouse is the middle name of Missolini. What is some strange middle
names you two have come across in the past. Nichola's bedd name is Francis.
Francis, cut that out, Francis, she come over. I've got
the most boring one minds is James. Everyone I feel like I've got,
like so many of my friends have middle names James, Philip, James,
Michael, James. All my friends they're all James. I like James.
I mean, I know, I want to say it's so common. Yours
is cool? Well mine is guy's yours? Guy? Yeah, random middle
names. I don't know people that says, I sort of tell each other
the middle names anymore? Really, No, Maybe as a kid needs to
be a thing. You're like, what's your middle name? Like, what's
your wonder? What's your middle name? I mean, Lowe's kids have got
good middle names. I think the eldest is Gabriel and the youngest is Lucian.
I've forgot what Alder his middle names I think it might be might be
Helen. Actually yeah, Atliott's middle name is Jock, and my Michael Jock,
and Hollies is Elizabeth because that's Nicholas mum and sister's middle name as well.
Tie in there. Well. This final one here from George Catherine says,
if you were to start a club which has a theme about it,
particularly clothing, what would be your trademark attire? What's what's so your club
would what would be your clubs? As a beanie? Oh, probably a
cool beanie. Beanies do suit you? Well, I've got my favorite black
one that I wear with like my black pea coat. Yeah, that makes
everyone and everyone says you're gonna work on the doctor and like suck. It's
always a check at which one they fuck off because they're scared of me.
