In the bulletin Bought in the closet by my love. Fourfinger discount dude,
welcome to four figure discount with this week, we're here to review I don't
want to know why the cage bird sings. I am Dan and I'm joining
right now by a man who was rubbing his hands together looking like he's ready
to delve into and rip this episode to shreds. No, no surprise,
I am guy. I'm running my hands together because it is cold in July.
Yeah, I opened the windows before because jet WoT past? Why did
you do walk past? Actually? Yes, thats like we love that dog,
But stinker, he's actually be fine now. Yeah, he's changed his
medications befo a while. We worked it out that he couldn't eat cheese,
so that that's said to give the tablets of cheese. The news news goes,
we've allays given him tables of cheese. And then we went to our
defriend Michael Ball, and said, can we work out why I just caught
him up? Why he's fasting here? And he goes, well, is
he alleged to daring? I went, I don't know. He goes,
what is he fine? After you give? Do you give him cheese or
milk? I said, I'll give the leftover of my kids breakfast in the
morning, So yes he does get milk, and yes I give him cheese
with every time he has a tablet and he goes, yeah, be the
cheese, So never do I givehim cheese. He ain't farting anymore because someone
else may be alluded to cheese. Man, I'm going to miss cheese.
Rub my hands together, yes, because of Cole and I don't intend to
rip this. In New One, this was a just as they mentioned catch
potato theater in this episode, this was an episode of perfectly fine theater.
You know what it is, it's it's hard to rip anything in the shreds
that involves Steve Amy. In my opinion, that is very correct. Let's
give a shout out to our friend Steve Ami. And also let's give a
what's the opposite of a shout out? A shout out? A throw down
acknowledgment, a beatdown too. The person who punched step A Shemi in the
face an actual in real life? Have you seen this? Have you heard
about? This? Is this recent? This happened maybe last week or the
week before. There is couldn't couldn't avoid the bug eyes or that's for Bargo
Airli. There is something fundamentally broken with American society at the moment. If
you go by social media, which you shouldn't do. But a lot of
people in New York City are getting punched in the face. They're getting sucker
punched or setting themselves on fire, or setting themselves on fire. But there's
a lot of just random street assaults of people. So it also happened.
It's happened to a few actors recently as well. Now, if you've appeared
in a movie by the Coen Brothers recently, you might want to watch out
because first actor Michael Strulbag, star of the Coen Brothers a series man other
viewers might know him from the being Timothy Chalamaye's dad in Callen by Your Name.
He was also in Doctor Strange got punch in the face. He was
just walking along Marney's our business. Someone comes up punch him in the face.
Not great, and their name is not Lenny and their name is not
Lead. Well that would be in the back of the head though. But
then someone recently just ran up the Steve as Shemi, a sixty six year
old man's that could kill him, and punched him squaring the face. He
could kill you any age. It killed you in any age, I mean,
he says. Here a man charged with punching. Steve is held on
fifty thousand dollars bond should be five hundred thousand. I'm sorry. There's just
some national treasures you don't touch. This is Tom Hanks, Steve Amy,
rober Mallins. God rest his soul would have been one of them. Let's
just take a moment to sing the praises of Steve ASMI not only in this
episode and another episode of the Simpsons. He's a petin films or Quentin Tarantino,
Coen Brothers, Good Day Afternoon. That's the thumb fucking he voicecaded.
That's Cino. He's pitting films by my man Able Ferrara. He was before
he was an actor, or maybe while he was trying to make as an
actor. He also worked as a volunteer fireman. He did in New York
City, and when September eleven happened, he dragged out his gear and he
went down to ground zero and he started helping out. That's Steve Amy.
Yeah. Now, if that's in twenty twenty four, he wouldn't have pulled
his phone out and said, look at me, look what I'm doing.
He just fucking went and did it. He just went and fucking did it.
Also responsible for one of the great means of our time. How do
you do, fellow games, Yes, and you're gonna punch this man in
the face, not having it, not at all, just terrible human being.
I'm very disappointed by this, indeed, but I think Steve has probably
recovered quite nicely. The only upside of this if he was punched near the
eye, it wouldn't look like the swelling would be that bad. Steve,
I love you. That's the only reason I'm going to make a joke.
He would appreciate that joke. I think, what are you talking about.
He's also for nineties kids, the guy who save Billy Madison and put lipstick
on. He's a red player in Sandman. You're gonna punch this man.
Adam Sandler is on a manhunt right now. He's gone out for him.
He trusted you. He's going after him. Little Nicky style or Bobby bchaystyle
or Bobby be schaystyle would be better. Yes, you don't mess with the
Zohan is what we've learned anyway. But of course on the show we are
going to take sand Men detours. Let's not do that. Let's talk about
this episode instead. I hope you appreciate that I have turned up American sober
rather than Irish sober. Yes, but yeah, this was a perfectly fine
episode. Look a few of the issues or faults that I tend to have
with recent episodes just it's the same old thing, isn't it. Home is
a joke for no reason, just the towns people are cruel to each other
for no reason. Now it just feels like it was very mean. Crusty
in particular, was very mean spirited in this. I know Krusty's not a
nice guy, but yeah, even hibbits interactions in the entire episode, I
just thought, where is this coming from? Yeah, I don't know if
it sort of speaks about the way American society or the society of the world
was at this time. When The Simpsons premiered, it seemed like, you
know, people were grumpy or grauty, or they behave badly, but it
was usually because we're just trying to get through the day and it's working your
ass off and getting nowhere. Yes, something that Dando, you know,
currently resonates Bory strongly. We'll get to that. But it seemed like,
you know, when you behave badly or acted out. It was out of
a sense of frustration or maybe desperation. It's like, Man, I'm working
hard and life's just not going my way, whereas this it just seemed but
yeah, the fundamental goodness and decency of not just a Simpsons family, but
the people of Springfeld kind of came through. Now it just seems like,
yeah, everybody's an asshole. Yeah, no one wants to be there anymore.
No one likes that anybody else. Yeah. So, and it takes
you out of the as a Simpsons fan been watching for the entire series,
it takes you out of the moment because you're sitting there going, why are
you being so mean to doctor Hibbitt. Yeah. Now, we don't necessarily
want the Simpson to be it's a what's a magical man from happy Land who
lives in a gun drip has a learning bird blant one of my favorite moments.
Well, you're being sarcastic then, right. I think one of the
reasons the Simpsons took off when it did and became as popular as it did.
It gave voice to a lot of that frustration and desperation that I was
talking about. You were so used to, particularly American situation comedy families being
like I love you, gazz. That's why al Bundy works so well.
It's why al Bundy works and that's why The Simpsons works out well. I
mean, the Simpsons didn't go quite as far as as Married with Children did,
and no peck ni pick like, oh my life's dreadful. The Simpsons
was used to be so great at parodies just that, no peck, Yeah,
and look, the Married Children really gave voice to that, but Simpons
gave voice to it in a slightly more quite unquote, family friendly, more
structured way out. Married with Children was such I haven't washed it for so
long, but it felt like it was deliberately just going over the top.
Oh yeah, and that's what the audience wanted you listen to. It's like
it was it was playing to the the ape inside us all, you know
very much. So yeah, and like the polar opposite of something like the
two family sitcoms that I always quite growing times or even here, it's amazing.
No, I think I don't think anyone's got anything bad to say about
Ed O'Neil and Katie Sigole. Maybe David Fastina, but or Christina or Christina
Rabbelgate. Everyone loved Christina Rabblegate, and they're viewed as like, oh,
these people are exemplifying the worst things about you know, American society and American
family. Like meanwhile, not like that greet bill cars. But it's almost
like people going, can we come back to being like our Bundy now much
pretty much just like sit around. Yeah, but you've got that in the
early days of The Simpsons where it's like this is probably more recognizable to you
if you've if you actually live in a family unit, you'll have each other's
back, but occasionally you want to choke the shit out on one another.
That's what the Simpsons was like as well as well. That's what I'm saying
that that is what the Simpsons. Yeah, at its core, you know,
they're at each other and you are with your brothers and sisters, your
siblings, you're fighting. At the end of the day, if someone messes
with your sibling, you're gonna fuck that person up, exactly. Yeah.
Now, maybe familiarity from between the audience and the show or just but in
you know, the people who create the show I'm talking about the Simpsons here
atwork created some degree of contempt everyone's getting a bit sort of grouchy, a
bit angrier the writer's room. That's what I'm thinking. Maybe maybe that is
the case. This is just purely unqualified psychotherapy from your pals down to one
guy here. But maybe it's the thing. I really want to start getting
more writers from the show, who's to be on the show and just be
animated, Just people who were there during this period, just ask them what
was the mentality going into some of the gags here, for example, sideshow
mal and things like that. It just feels like, at some points you're
watched this going, is this a retaliation to the Simpson's not being cool anymore
and them not trying to appear cool but just being angry at the world there.
It's just it's just I just don't get why there was a crusty in
hibbit in this episode where I just went, you could literally have just assigned
these payouts to any carry, anybody else. Yeah, yeah, it was
the first one I watched. The Krusty Ones seem relatively in character, but
hip it could be anybody. Yeah. Yeah. It just feels like,
why did you choose Hibbit here? What's the point of all this? I
just I don't get but with the story, I enjoyed it, but I
can't help but think I've got my notes here. It's just another march helping
somebody in these story We've had that. So it seems like ninety percent of
her stories now in these teen years, it's the same thing. Whether it
be that painter Jack Crowley was was he a prisoner? I think, yeah,
that good painter. That was the Michael Keaton when yes, yeah,
when Nelson needed somebody because you needed a mother a role, it's like someone's
in need, it's just assigned, Marge. Yeah. Now it's a it's
a probably a very relevant comment about how women do the bulk of the quote
unquote emotional labor in households. You know, if someone if something needs to
be done, you go to your what do you go to your dad for?
Probably money? I think it's changed a bit now, but that's yeah.
But for the majority of life, that's always been the mentality. Yeah,
yeah, it's shifting ever so slightly incrementally. But Nicolay comes home now
and asks, why is dinner not cooked? I'm sitting there with my kitchen
apron on trying to cook, juggling plates and getting the kids. Now he's
we don't have the Cara is going to do nothing. Come to the apron.
He's a saucy French maid's outfit. Nicholas request, well, you know
you've got to keep her indoors happy. But yeah, I honestly think that
is the case, and I think get a bit repetitive. Absolutely, when
it's oh, Marge's helping out another person. I liked in this episode how
I kind of flipped it. Here Normally is the other person letting Marge down,
but here was Marge letting the other person down. But I can understand
why Marge let him down because you just sort of she said what she said
to get out of the situation. Absolutely, yeah, and I mean a
small part of her sort of wanted to help him, but then she went,
there's the guy who put a gun in my face. Yes, you
got a bit real for me this episode too, when she's like calling Homer
on the phone saying, if you don't make it, there's a goodbye,
my love, And I thought this is getting a bit heavy. Oh yeah,
yeah, I mean, you hear more and more things about say I'm
sorry to bring the mood of the room down a little bit. But one
thing that reminded me of is he reminded me of the nine to eleven calls
from the plane. There's that there's also school shootings in the US. I
just I don't know. You know, you're having kids sort of like texting
their parents saying if I don't make it out of them, like what the
fuck? Yeah, but like March, then you can remarry. And I
know they trying to make it a gag by having the list of names and
things like that. But when she just said goodbye, my love, and
I thought, holy shit, this isn't fun, this isn't funny, this
is just this is somewhat scary a little bit. Yeah, maybe it was
their sort of I don't know them trying to tackle the issue of Yeah.
I think at its best, the Simpsons and a lot of other shows are
able to dovetail those kind of tones together. You can have a moment oh
wow, that actually really affects me, that really resonates with me. But
I don't know, the tones don't seem they're grinding up against each other here
as opposed to flowing into one another. Did they actually did they explain why
he robbed the bank? I can't recall, No, I he had some
deep set of issues because of his mother abandoning him and things like that.
But there's no reason for him to actually rob a bank. I mean,
he could be doing any sort of yeah crime. They wanted to do a
dogged afternoon wanted to do and why not? Yeah, But Steve Shemy was
good in the role, very good in the role. He always brings it.
He always brings it. Has he ever not brought it? Not have
if you had a role where you're going, Steve, what do you do
it? Mate? I think everyone's always happy to see Steve on screen very
much. So. Yeah, I mean pops up in corn heir. As
mentioned before, the little girls like would you do it? Little girl?
Wait a minute? Nothing, that's one of the great payoffs for like,
because you are, as a viewer fucking worried absolute little girl's life. Right,
And then when she waves goodbye and the plants like, oh he's good
in everybody, he's not killing every just understood. He's a monster, but
not an absolute monster. Every That's the thing. Every monster has their limits.
Ye, everyone said, no many prisoners right when it comes to kids,
they won't touch kids. Obviously, there's a section that will and they
deserve whenever they have come into him. But I just loved that the girls
ways going you like, I remem watching those on this sense of relief.
Yeah, look, I'm I'm pretty sure Jerry Bruckhmer and the team at Conair
were going, Yeah, let's lead you down the little the garden part of
little bit that we'll put you back. Yeah, they had. If they
didn't put that seat in there, that would have been fucked up. There's
because it would be. It'd be there'd be so many forums dedicated to what
happened to the little girl. Oh yeah, like a Netflix documentary about it.
It's great in Conne. Well, one thing great about Conne. You've
got this playful of absolute scumbags and monsters. What a great movie. Fantastic
move we have to do conye, Yeah, we'll do a movie. Guys,
just well what the movies we've talked about that, We're like, we're
not even going to do a pole, let's just do that Cone. Yeah.
I think we should do those absolutely. But you've got, yeah,
this plainful of absolute monsters, Sarus, the virus, Diamond Dog, et
cetera, et cetera. People sort of respect and fear Garland Green for Shemi's
character because it's like, oh, he's such a monster, but yeah,
they don't let him the little girl. And the one person that no one
seems to really like or respect is Danny Treyo's character, who's just who's like
the serial rapers, like the fuck away from it. Yeah, yeah,
I mean you're scared of him because he's Danny Treo, but it's like,
I'm pretty sure it's doesn't Nicholas Cage beat the ship out of him? Probably
poor Dave Chappelle, poor Pinball had a name too. How good is that
that? The guy who wrote that is this little stee peak at Connair Review.
Yeah, yeah, there's another reason why she's support us on age this
kind of conversation. We just reviewed movies that we love. We why not?
I mean we threw it to the patrons and like we revealing some movies
had good movies. But we'll just go back to review movies that we love.
I think, so it's just more fun. Yeah. Yeah. Connor
is just full of the guy who wrote it. As guy named Scott Rosenberg,
he recently wrote the the recent Jamalji rebooting. He had a string of
in the nineties had a really good run of selling scripts and things like that,
and they all like you know, some of them were Tarantino knockops,
but they all had really great character names. But the nineties were the best
for that nineties, best time we were going to say about Roosenberg, Oh
yeah, that's he just wrote these scripts that you know, crime scripts or
action scripts or horror scripts or whatever. All the characters always had really fantastic
names, really scriptive names. But look at the conne in one particularly that's
looking, oh you're kangaroo Jack. Though apparently kangaroo Jack started as the talking
kangaroo was just again not an aspect of it at all. It was like
a it was originally called Down and Under and it was like an Aussie based
crime caper where you know, two guys have got to come to Australia.
They're out of the fish, out of water. There's a snow dollar money,
yeah, and none of us snowdogs. So dog just had that one
dream where it's the dog's talking. You're like, yeah, oh yeah,
that's what kangaroo Jack probably was going. Yeah, and the kangaroo sort of
bouns off with the money and it's like what the fact do we do now?
And now they and then they turned it into like, now let's make
it a work, a comedy with a kangaroo talk, and I've just never
been he's an Anthony Anderson. It's not exactly yeah, I can take a
leave. But see I saw him those guys who seems to have been working
forever though. Yeah, yeah, and more power to him. But he
was on we watch Wheel Fortune sometimes, Nicola and I right, and he
has won a celebrity one right, and he was just one of those people
where everyone listen to me, I'm gonna make a joke about everything part Everything's
gonna be a gag. And it's like, just say fucking tea, please
just buy about like everything has to be a thing. Talking with a mate
of man online about a podcast that we both enjoy and there's a guy who's
a semi infrequent guest on it who I can very much take a leave.
And when I was running to the guy s this is the guy who just
ruins every dinner party he's at, just trying to be the center of attention.
Yeah, gotta let you know my opinions. I'm just looking at Scott
Rosenberg's run sheet here of all these movies things like impost I'm like, I'm
gonna watch that great night, great name postal look is cool. I'm gonna
watch it. Absolutely need a blurb. But he'd gone in sixty seconds as
well. Disturbing behavior Highway. What a name highway? But a good title
is you know half your work's done? Man? Well, when I was
a kid, it was just the front The front cover looked cool. I'd
got to hire that movie. Yeah, it's as we say, rip Roger
Corman, one of the best to ever do it. Often, you know,
here's a title, come up with a story around that. It's like,
what's what this episode felt like? We were to be dogged o afternoon.
Write an episode around that. SMI's coming in. Throw him in there
somewhere by the way. Time for God to put on his pretentious hat.
The title of this episode is I Don't want to Know Why the Cage Bird
Sings. That is a play on I Know Why the Cage Bird Sings,
which is the title of the autobiography of poet and writer Maya Angelou. It
is apparently a searing look at discrimination, racism, and trauma growing a young
African American woman. It is supposedly one of the great works of American literature.
I have not read it because it just seems terribly depressing, and that
favorite moments, favorites, my favorite What were yours? I wanted to I
mean, I really liked that they did a Dog Afternoon parody. It's good
to see Steve A. Shemy and someone who's meant to look like the late
great John Cazal, the co star of Dog d Avenon alongside Pacino, only
appeared in like five movies, John and They were The Godfather, The Godfather
Part two, The Conversation, also written directed by Francis Coppler, Doged Afternoon
and The Deer Hunter Pretty good resumes a lot of that movies. Yea,
all certified bangers. Yeah, very interesting just to look at, isn't he?
Oh yeah, fascinating face. Yeah. He died very young cancer.
Why or did not die in the eighties? How long ago? Oh?
No, he died in the like the seventies. Maybe that's why he wasn't
in many movies and I guess, Oh yeah. He was also a very
renowned stage actor. Okay, and partner, my partner of Meryl Streep.
Really no ship. There we go did I know that? Fun facts?
What did you learn today, Dano? We can skip to what you learned.
Maybe I'm jumping on what we would talk about during the review, but
it's funny that it's got this gay joke in it, that Simpson, that
the Simpson's doing a lot lately, the whole why do You Two? Boyfriend?
Jon? The thing about Dogged Afternoon is that Albertino is actually robbing the
bank so he can get the money so his male partner can have gender transition
surgery. Yeah, it's amazing that Dogged Afternoon is actually more progressive. It's
amazing that they made than this episode thirty years later. I also liked that
they gave The Negotiator a shadow that movie, The Negotiating I'm going to ask
what your thoughts were. I've never seen the movie, but it felt like
another one of those reading reading sign reading sign reading sign of This one had
a better payoff though, like closing credits, I was like, that's that's
a payoff. That's actually not, but that was it seems. I think
they were probably the actual chapter titles of the that's the game. Yeah,
worth watching The Negotiator. It's all right, it's okay. Yeah, okay,
guys. Initial reaction is usually why Italian, what I should watch it
and that to know. But when go goes that's it. Yes, when
we sort of you can't see this because Cameron the day, but he sort
of like scratched his nose and goes yes, to think about it. No,
it was a brief period where let's put Kevin. Let's put Kevin space
and everything America be yeah, with some young men are going put him in
me. Yeah, I saw that he tried to defend himself recently. Everyone's
tearing him to everyone's everyone to shreds, to shreds. A lot of people
came out of the woodwork I was about to say, came out of the
closet to defend him. That's not exactly the right to No. No,
Lean Leeson, Sharon Stone and some other actor were like, he's been in
the wild and there's too line. It's given space. He's probably worth something
like seventy million bucks. He doesn't need more work. I understand he wants
to work. He doesn't need to No. I think it's more just knowing
that he's It was like all the body of work that he put in feels
like it's probably just going to be tarnished forever. That's probably playing on his
mind some of it. Certainly, he probably don't want to do it,
just he doesn't want the money. I think he just wants the idea of
I think he wants a rapist forever. Please clean some of this garbage off
my off my memorial. We don't know enough about nitty and gritty, so
let's not get into it. We certainly some of my favorite moments, though,
were I liked the this was once abandoned theater before that theater. Yes,
I didn't mind the reserve for Mars Stabo in the movie that Marge was
watching and whatever what was his name? The Pashimi's character Dwight Dwight Dwight says
he returned to prison once he's settled his business. Please say that is more
than fair. And that's about it for me. Where do you have anything?
I've said mine just touse. She had some negotiator and doctor. I'm
sure as we go through we'll be like, oh, that wasn't that was
mad? Like that? You're that bit awesome? Remember you did that?
Alright? Stonecutters, Katie g gonna be seeing you in a couple of weeks

to Ginger, not Pickle. Screw that kid. I'm just kidding, but
Ginger was very nice. She dropped into the DMS because she has heard me
talk about the Lovely Louise and particularly the Lovely Louises little dog RAFFI. I've
a similar dog. Yeah, yes, the I was about to say the
Pomeraney, and that's not it. What do you call one? Holy shit?
Whatever? They are small, little pepion. Little gives me looking things,
little gives my looking dog essentially. Yeah. But she alerted me to
first of all, a Facebook group that's like local owners of Pepion's. I
love that. It's just this random communities like that. Oh yeah, absolutely
on the one good thing that social media has done. Actually there are two
good things, but we won't talk about the one. But the other thing
was, Hey, there's a get together of Papillon's and their owners in Geelong
this Sunday, of course, for this the Lovely Louise. She's like,
why would you give me this? I want to sleep in but thank you
Ginger, very very much appreciated. I have not replied in the DMS.
I will do that as well, but I think you'll agree this is a
far more you'd appreciate this far more getting a shout out on the show,
and next let zack outs it out and next week will be the final episode
of the month. So that's what we're gonna be, reading out the names
of our newest members of the forth Esista family who aren't quite on the top
tier. It's going to go. It's going to go for real because there's
so many Next question, you there eating the paste? All right, it
is now time for some trivia questions. My first for you, mister Davis,
is what is much referred to as in Homer's phone She's big blue?
Is it big blue or big blue? I thought baby blue? Is my
mind? It is big blue. I've got big blue brute Yet you're right,
yes, still over our baby blue. Which funeral home is featured in
the school paper? Nah, I don't have that one. It's Conroy's.
That's another one of those moments writers went what was happening here? Yeah,
let's read the other ad and it depends like, ah, this seems so.
Yeah, bake, Yeah, he doing some fourth wall breaking here.
Really, he'll buy beer for it, but he won't make you. He'll
want to drink it with you. That's not even funny. What's going on?
My next question for you? You got yeah. My next question for
you is name the people who Homer can marry. According to March, Homer
can marry Lindsay Nagel, Booberella and blife down at Okay, well, okay,
the mother of Gwyneth Paltrow. Yes, in real life, and she
is the mother of Grace in willing Grace. No, don't will in willing
Grace in fictional life. Yes? What else does Homer have to do on
there? By the way, feed the cat? Yeah, that's right.
That was not a question. By the way, well that was a question,
but it wasn't a question. It took me back to the moment where
Marche I think it's Homer alone, where she's basically saying make sure you do
this, and was like, don't worry, I got it. Yeah,
I got it. I got it. At the end, cat in the
furnace. My question for you, Yeah, Christy was named a poor quality
clown by Witch magazine. Not what is it laughways? Ways? And my
final question is how early does Homer arrived to the event. He is there
one hour and forty five minutes early, fifty four minutes early, because he
goes, I'm what's the numeric version of dyslexic? I don't know. It
just means I've got to clean my good eyes. But I did write down
one would laugh at a man with would you? You wouldn't put Steve as
shem in the fees, would you? All right, let's get into our
review of I don't want to know why the Caged Bird sings? So This
episode originally aired October fourteenth, two thousand and seven, written by Dana Gould
okay and directed by Bob Anderson, starring Steve A. Shemiers. Dwight Ted
Nugent stars as himself and our lovely Lady Julia. I'm talking Seinfeld. She
starts returns as Gloria unless you returned just for that little bit, just for
that bit, yeah, good Ald. Similar to when fat Tony Joe Montana,
He's like, I have to always voice fat Tony. Apparently fat Tony
died. I didn't know this, excuse me. They killed off fat Tony
was about to say Joe Montana is dead, and I was like, no,
no, no, direct that the character's dead. Yes, but then
they brought him back the same so he returned as like skinny Tony or something.
But then he got fat against and they're like, you will now be
fat Tony. I'm like, what's going on here? That's why I just
read about that and I went that sounds terrible. I don't appreciate this.
No, it's kind of like when they Lisa the cats kept dying. Remember
at the end, they go, let's just call you Snowball, so it's
back to the stud It's kind I'm like, it's not snowball. Yes,
I do not want. The episode kicks off though with well have we done
le board and the couch game? We have not. I will do that
now. Actually, so the chalkboall gig. I am not an FDIC insured
bank. I'm a little I don't know what to what to make what it
means. No, it's like he was someding that was in the news.
And you know how the Simpsons rise will sometimes make fun of themselves, you
know, like with Harvard hats or Yale hats or completely out of touch,
and it's like, let's do this gag. It'll appeal to maybe you know
three people, it'll appeals to us, yes, us and maybe three other
people. But if those three other people get oh, they'll just laugh at
they love it? Will they? Though? I like to think of myself
as a relatively smart person, I'm like, this is just you're being a
smart ass as opposed to being a smart funny person. I missed the catch
because I was busy googling FDA and she would make and then you typed in
KFC by I don't care, I have it. Yeah, And the couch
gag was home in Marge but at Lisa sit on the couch. Then the
scene expands and shows Maggie playing with a dollhouse. She picks it up Homer
and replaces him as her pacifiers, sucking on Homer. I'm pretty sure they've
views that one before. I think they have. I've I think a lot
of couch gags get recycled, which is nothing wrong with that. Recycling is
good for the planet and good for us. Yes. Now, the episode
kicks off with Bart getting ready for tomorrow. Why is getting ready now for
tomorrow? Not really sure, but it's just so I can set up the
game. What's tomorrow? Hey, Braid, what is it? I hadn't
thought of that? Oh man, I mean why is it getting now?
Yeah? I mean how hard is it? And what day the week is
it? Is everyone going to school on the weekend? What what's going on
here? You wouldn't hold you would at eleven am on a weekday. If
you're going to have Bart Marge getting Bart ready for tomorrow, at least to
have a like altering his suit or something's like, oh, I'm gonna have
to redo these pants or something like that, or this is how you tie
tie? Give it? Give us just a little bit, tonty bit.
That is what the fuck is the shouldn't the mill anymore? It's just this.
We just need a reason for them to get to the school. I'm
sorry. This is right up there with the you know, what is it?
What's the award that burns the over over achievement of the field of excellence
or something most outstanding achievement in the field of excellence? Thank you very much.
Yes, yes, that's what it feels like. But Marge says it's
just so they can set up march, saying you missed too many important moments.
And Homer. I think I wrote here you're not off on with a
good start here with Homer being a good father, him debating with marg how
drunk can I be at this? I'm like, oh, why are we?
Why are we doing this? It has no bearing on the story.
He didn't act drunk at the event, So why why is this needed?
Why was this whole fucking openly act needed a whole scene? I don't know.
Don't don't be late for this event tomorrow. Yeah. We mentioned married
with children earlier and how the simptoms kind of made fun of it. I
think, yeah, it wasn't. Actually this show is so terrible, but
it was like, it's still plucking fun of it. This is Homer literally
being al Bundy essentially worse. Yeah. I just don't understand because our Bundy
was more just like he wanted to go. Yeah. My problem with this
I raised it before and it's now bothering me. What day of the week
was this? Well, yeah, it was a weekday because banks aren't open
on the weekends sometimes Saturday mornings. Right, So they're giving Lisa the Student
of Millennium award at a big event at eleven am on a week day and
everyone was just there. Yeah, I don't get it. Yeah, you've
oh man, now you've put the You're making my brain start to witch.
Oh no, you cannot miss Lisa's big day. And you have to come
sober American sober or Irish sober points. You're weight sober point went five points
here nine? Wait went out where a stomach full of bread? My final
opera deal. Hamer wakes up earlier the next day, six am, and
he sees an accident on the way, drives by, realizing no one's hurt.
Then he arrives an hour and fifty four minutes early. He's got Makey
with him because he thought she was high. Then the bullies are just there.
They're saying that these they're reading the school paper awards early scamp for ad
Space. Is that meant to be sort of like their writer's take on awards?
Serramonzy general, I think it is, ye, And because it makes
sense for the bullies to actually believe this as well, No it doesn't,
but we'll just rode in there anyway, Marges. Meanwhile, in line for
the bank and the Jewish old Jewish men is there just they've done this before
usually Grandpat at the front of the line, supermarket whatever, just want somebody
to talk to. Margin chats to the What we find out is the robber.
Yeah, she's being nice. It's Dwight. Everyone down on the floor.
Now this there's a robbery, not a separate robbery. Work together,
you mean like a couple. No, yes, oh great, we're being
robbed by Johnny and Clyde. Homer then calls Marge because she's late and tries
to rub in. Then they shoot Gil. I was like, he's Gill
dead now? And then I looked it up and it's like on the Simpsons
wiki on the Gilt Gunnerson page, Gill has died numerous times on the Simpsons.
Apparently he's been in an exploding car and things. So he's become the
new Hans moment. I guess the Kenny, the Kenny. Yeah, but
this one here, No one's like an exploding car whatever. Just it's so
outrageous, you just like whatever. Yeah, but that exploding car with mument
I guess happened in the in the Tress of Horace and then on canon.
But seeing him just be filled with bullets here, I'm like, well,
no, he's dead, how can he ever come back or he's been He's
got like thirty bullet holes in it, and he's laying on the floor bleeding.
He's dead. How hard to put a bulletproof vest on him or something
like that. I didn't know whether it may have been in reference to the
movie. Does that happen in the film. It's been a long time since
I saw Dogged after the Okay, but anyway, so all those ones I
should revisit. Lou then says we go sixty four g in progress. Oh,
man, Wigan was unbearable in this episode. I know the whole it's
a shooty steal. Oh sure, he's stealing. The timing's off a lot
of things. They've done these gigs forever, but they don't seem to hit
anymore. No, I mean, I don't know if it's, like I
said, familiarity becoming contempt, But I don't know. I think a good
gag plays however many times you watch it. But yeah, for some reason,
I don't know, there's yeah, the timing was just yeah, skewif
Then the reaction shot after that's like this goes on like maybe a second or
two too long. But in the in the it's like inception, you're in
that two seconds, and it feels like infinity, like when you're watching the
microwave, well pretty much when do they watch but the boil burrito. But
this is where Marge calls Homer and I'm going to tell you. I was
like, at the end of that, I went, I feel bad now
this is it took me right out of the moment. But Homer here,
I didn't mind. They don't do anything. They say, be panicky,
try and be a hero. That's that is just what Hannah would say,
march as you can remarry of court blah blah blah blah. Then the rubber
approaches her, which is why she hang up the phone, so you think,
oh, it's like going well for her. He then puts them into
is it not a safe but where they have all the set deposit boxes or
whatever, a vault no funny stuff chaus. He says, don't worry,
I'm not funny at all. Gives you that long riff hammer arrives and he
says, my current wife is in there. I guess because she said he
could remarry. Yeah, that's okay, that actually works. That's nice.
I like that. Wigham says, well, you can take over because I've
got no stake in this, and I'm like, what the fuck is going
on here? And with the diepack? How the diapacks get in there?
What were those diapacs about? We know how diepac works, yes, but
who put him in there? I don't know, writers, but I understand
what they are. But Moleman became a human diepack like he was. He
wasn't a diepack, but they put all these things kept exploding. I'm like,
where are all these things coming from? They weren't there before, now
they're there. Yeah, And the episode has gone off to such a sort
of so oh, Star shoots Jasper diabetic that absurd gags like everything being a
die pack, which might work under other circumstances. I hear it and it's
like, oh, yeah, that's kind of funny. I mean, you
know, oh, okay, a die pack in the cash okay, expected
No, that's a diepack for me. I think it's because you made that
phone call feel so real. Yeah, it's togeous out of it. It's
tough to get back to absurdity after you've kept it real. I thought the
acting from Julie was great. The goodbye my level. It felt like someone's
last quarter that that was a lot of Julie did a really good job.
Yes, episode Julie Cabnet talking about the justifications to herself. Oh well,
I better go pick what apples for everybody looked at that at the time.
Yes, then they get the DVD. If the negotiator out, good gag,
good payoff. I like that better than what it was last week,
Denny's dolt, whatever it was with reading the signs. Then Angus, Angus,
angus, it's Agnes Angus. Young Agnes cries, She just she has
kind of check the date. She doesn't want to die. Margin goes to
talk to Dwight, and I was like, man, I probably wouldn't be
doing this. Don't leave the Sally's clearly a madman. Dwight, use your
noodle. If you surrender. Now you're only looking at a few years in
jail. I'm telling me you're a good gun. Marge. I can't go
back to prison. I've got no wife, I've got no family, I've
got nothing. If I give myself up. Will you come visit me in
the joint? Hey, if I can say yes the Chinese toys that kill
kids, you can say yes to him. Okay, I'll visit your dwight.
Oh, Marge, I was afraid I was going to lose you.
Oh now, let me help you make your slow transition back to say you
just want to go home. You have a new home. No, see
you soon, Marge, real soon, just like you promised. Becoming a
commercial. Marges are still nervous. She says, you can't visit it.
I can buy that. Marge wouldnt want to go to a prison in general.
Oh absolutely, She's been to prison for home a couple of times.
Remember he was the rat. She wasn't his hair. Oh the little do
rag didn't have a comb or something behind his ear. Do you have a
do ragon? He was in prison for being a snitch. Yeah, yeah,
he had something. I can't what it was. I thought it was
like one of those little do rags. Be wrong, yes, but Homer
says, you know, he didn't visit in the hospital. He visited the
tavern, not the the person. March as she likes to to keep her
promises. There's a lot of gags in here that work. All that.
Oh on paper, that sounds great, and for some reason just didn't fly.
No, just sort of you skim by anything. Oh yeah, say
yeah, all the build up on it is wrong. Yeah, and you
know so the punchline feels kind of deflated as a result. I thin because
Marge follows it up by saying, yeah, but I like to keep my
promises. Are going that's right, You're a douchebag Homer. Yeah. Yeah,
if you cut it off at the end, yeah, just move the
taborn, no move the person, cut the next thing. Yeah, okay,
yeah, move on. Don't point out that he's not a good person.
I mean, I think we already know that Marge is essentially the moral
center of the family and will keep her promises. We don't need or even
just her being in the car in the following scene that gives an occasion like,
oh, she's on her way to prison. Marge keeps funny excuses not
to go though the trader sales sloos dradalarium or whatever sale. And you ever
found yourself buying something that you knew you didn't need but it was on salees
you just bought it. I'm a sucker for that. I'm like, oh,
I don't need this, but fuck that is cheap. Oh yeah,
Lou and I would just laugh about this bullish not to buy this at these
prices. I've you know, the Woodie is right, Yes, I've got
a few of them, but I always wanted this space jam one. Right,
And then I saw someone, of course, did just pop the can
you believe it? In my Facebook feeds someone something for twenty dollars in Geelong.
I used one, but like you can wash them, that sort of
fade or anything. I thought, I don't need another one. Nicola won't
be happy, but I'm going to bite. And Nicola got home and she
went, she walked to the front door. I'm cooking clean the house first
season. The better is it's new, and she goes another one. I'll
give you the guy version of this. Our friend Zurito's that's a necessity.
Yeah, that's that's a need, not a want. But our friends at
Jbhi Fi we're having a sit recently now they're having the buy one, get
one freeze out and guys like, oh no, no, I've realized,
right, oh you're gonna pull a swifty. That's not actually cheaper to buy
a buy one, get one free because what they do is they bump the
prices back up to the division of price. They you only have two for
twenty or two for forty with four k's right, but now they've bumped them
back up to like, you know, thirty five dollars each and blah blah
blah. Which if you buy the thirty five dollars ones, which are usually
on the two for forty deals, if you wait for a two for forty
deal, the standard sale when they have a twenty percent off, if you
buy thirty five dollars and get two, you're actually paying seventeen dollars twenty five
or something each. You're actually paying more with the buy one, get one
free sale. Wait till they're back to the two for forty, and wait
for a twenty percent off sale. Fun with maths with thank you very much
for this is a very good lesson. But with box sets, different big
box sets, one hundred fifty dollar box sets, you get two one hundred
fty dollars much cheaper. Well played movies don't bother, don't bother? Well,
I bothered, no, no, no, no, no, the
sum around, but they recently the twenty percent off sale. You have the
Oceans movies I did. I'm a big family of the Ocean's trilogy m I
own them all on Blu Ray. And it's like yeah, but the four
key sets available, So of course I'm hitting up my various nurds day where
did you have do a key pictures? Better, sounds better, got a
little extra documentary. I'm like, probably never going to watch that extra documently,
but it's nice to have it in the bag. Oh no, no
anything. If they make the f for special features, now you've got my
money. So they did, and so I did. And when I see
those two sweet words audio commentaries, I'm like, you have sold me,
sir, Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, but I mentioned to
lose, like I've got to go into town. I've got to click like
the JB and get a little slightly raised eyebrow. And I'm like, I
try and throw it in there in like mid sentence. I hope she didn't
hear me, but but I told her I've got to go feed the homeless
rescue baby from a booning building. I picked up my clicking neck from GB.
I get you that massage back and buy you flowers. Yes, indeed,
so was that the Sates one you're talking about? It wasn't. Yeah,
yeah, but they've got the bar and get one free sale. At
the moment, there's a couple of four k's that I mean, I don't
think I owned the Lost Boy I bought to yesterday. What did you get?
I got Poltageist podcast a on the ones I'm thinking of getting. Yeah,
because it was twenty five dollars. Yeah, and then we need a
toy story for the all the other toy stories. So I was like,
well, we got on four K because it comes with the Blu Ray,
which has because some four K is Disney now it's just the four K dis
with no special features. And then you look at the Blue Ray, and
the Blue Ray has all the special features, and I'm thinking I'd much rather
paid less money and get special features. Absolutely, but sometimes they release them
as like a four K and Blu Ray set, So that's what this one
was. I want, Well, I'll get this one. Then that's toy
sorry for for the kids, and poltic Geist for me of course, Nicola
Nada, none of you can wear this already get this money baby, you
can one, you know, bab it's good. Where were we? Uh
much nervous? Marge has gone to shopping not on a La Dando and guy
do I defensive though in prison about Marge Cumming's like, no, she's gonna
be She's gonna be here. We get snake here. The carricature was really
sad. Yes, who wears my mummy? It's funny, But this guy's
a gonna draw this ship. I think I've said in the past, I
can a little snake goes a long way. I don't want to know too
much. This is this is what I've also said's girlfriends. But yeah,
sometimes I get the joke that you know, he's his hard and criminal who
sort of talks like this. I mean the Simpsons at their peak, it
was a show filled with one note character that was there to serve a purpose.
You didn't know anything about them. Yeah, they just they they were
there to fill a gap there and they were like a small dash of paint.
I'm doing a doing great audio, doing miming painting, miming brush style.
But he was behold, behold the quicking might and just quick munt and
saying bye or something like that. That yeah, I bye was the only
thing that he said. But he said and bye. Didn't expect a criminals
speak like that. That's funny. But when he gets a whole bunch of
lines, I'm like, oh man, it was an excuse. Gloria back
though, as long as well, yeah you you win some you some next
case we won some JLD. I'm watching this JLD. You know me,
I'm watching this going you know what needs a wiki? Four figure discount and
guy and Dando, I'm thinking today, this afternoon, I'm going to make
us a wiki page because we not have one. We don't have onely moldly
because we have. Someone has written on some of the Simpsons episode pages going
down it for four figure discount, but it doesn't link to anything. I'm
like, well, time to link to it. We need to start making
it. We have a wiki page. Next week when you listen to this
free feed listeners, we have a wiki page. Go and don't change anything,
Do not edit, do not edit please, But yeah, we need
a wiki page and LinkedIn. All my friends are on LinkedIn, and there's
too many platforms like this that you feel the need to you're on a business
now, you've got to be on LinkedIn. All my mates are on LinkedIn.
I am on LinkedIn. Yeah, okay, you'd link in with anybody.
Well, every once in a while I look at my bang bones.
Need to get work needed LinkedIn? Really hell, but you know, if
I'm i am quote unquote friends or I'm linked Din as the as the title
of the website would indicate, because he can't keep just going out on the
street and going that Graham Asher and what she used to be. That guy's
giving it away. That is life in the modern media. That guy's giving
it away. That is literally podcasting for a living in a nutshell. But
no, I'm on LinkedIn, and every once in a while it's like,
oh, here's an article I wrote, or you know, here's a podcast
appearance that I made. By the way, if you think that I'm good
at this, get me on your podcast or hire me to write stuff for
you. Not much. That guy's giving away for free, though. It's
hard to argue with that. But nobody arrives for Dwight. Marche did not
arrive because she's being busy picking apples and hits the five o'clock deadline and she
decides, well, it's too late now if I can't do it. That
was one of my questions. How far away from the prison was the apple
orgit or two hundred and forty eight two and fifty miles. When I say
forty eight, that's very specific and also very incorrect. Who's wrong with you?
Marge? Is fixing light bulbs now another reason to avoid Dwight. That's
pretty industrious. Yeah, fixing a light lob. It seems. Sometimes you
look at things though, right, I go, I can save money by
doing this. But then I think, but the hassle of having to drive
to this next shop and do all this, and the time the petrol I
think, is it actually worth it? Probably not? Like lowly light bulbs,
the amount of time it would take to fix all these, is it
really worth it? I didn't know. I didn't know we could fix a
lightlber. I don't know where he could either. I'm just assuming he could.
The city has never lied to us in the past, is it absolutely
not? No, I don't know. But she throws the phone in the
garbage, dispposed because it's Dwight calling, but it doesn't break. It's kind
of like a knockie. At thirty three fifteen, the Good Old Snake and
Polyphont Ringtones good Old sneak yes, and then Ted Nugent answers the phone,
MiG Hello, this is Ted Nugent, the Motor City Madman, urging you
to vote no on proposition eighty seven. If we outlaw cross bulls in our
public schools, who's going to protect our children from charging elk? Thank you
for your time, and as always, Wangeranger. Marge is now watching Cash
Potato Theater. I thought a guy would like this title, Guy lives it.
And then they started outside and the music was almost like Sicho Bob music.
I thought, as it would transitioning to the to the prison here,
but it's showing Dwight leaving via the waist as opposed to the clean spring water.
Indeed. Yeah, redemption. Well you've got a a shorwshank redemption shout
out, and also a Cape Fear shout out, not Cape Fear with an
E, but when he walks into the camera Robert de Niro exiting prison in
Cape Fear, Yeah, well done. The Martain Scusseezy remake Natty and nineteen
sixty something originals during I bought Cape Fear recently. I've never watched it.
I'm very excited for it. It's gnarly, man, it's uh, it's
really good, but it's also pretty pretty sick. Okay, oh yeah,
it's very violent. Really oh yeah, ohh, I didn't realize this.
You're talking about the de Niro Nio one. Yeah, yeah, okay,
because it came out came out, not that I think the same year as
Sunson Lambs. I think Sannson Lamb came at the start of the year.
And oh that was ninety one size yet one. Yeah, yeah, you
said ninety three to k there before. Sorry, Yeah, there's bits in
k Fer Holy shit, because the two were sort of talked about as society.
Where is it going, lust for Blood? What's the matter with kids?
Did they? Yeah, but they're watching Catch Potato there? What do
they given? They name the movie, but it's just Johnny Stabb, Johnny
Sam Yeah, I mean what it is. What this movie is is basically
a riff on an old gangster movie called Angels with Dirty Faces, Oh as
opposed to Angels Angels with Filthy Souls. Yeah, which I'm guessing is another
riff on that the animal. Yeah, break my heart when I've learnt that
wasn't a real movie. But I appreciate the factcause you could, as a
kid, you feel like you've seen the movie. Absolutely, it's not a
real movie. Angel Dirty Face is good, though, I mean a very
nice morality play. Because all these and thirty had to say crime. Does
that pay Jimmy voice, that's right, Chris, that's a right Crane has
done pat Jimmy Cagney says, gangster, and he's sort of like the idol
of all the local young hoodlands are like, Oh, we want to be
like this kid. We want to be like this guy when we grow up.
His childhood friend, who is a priest, comes at the end when
he's been busting and he's about to go to the electric chair, and he
says, these kids are all gonna they're all idolizing you, and they're going
to go down the same path you do one good thing in your life,
act like an absolute fucking coward when you're about to get the electric chair,
and Jimmy Cagy is like, no, not gonna do it. I think
that was Robinson. Sorry, you did this on the I tend to suck
it all. That's gonna be on migrave side. He sucked it all up.
But then at the end, in the most heroic moment of his life,
he gets the chair. No, don't put me in the chair.
No, I don't want to do it. Okay, So all the kids
like, man, this guy's a pussy and he saved his well life for
crime. Also not very realistic nineteen thirty dialogue and guards are pussy. I
have to I have to watch this now, just the end at least.
Anyway, you can probably find it on YouTube. Yeah, I will be
doing well. You can also occasionally find your pals down to one guy.
Dwight then reads the paper which has her Marg's address and her code is Indeed,
that was another one of my trivia questions. The area code is hashtag
three or five seven. That's not the area codes. Isn't that the code
for the security system. That's what I said, you said for it is
the area code. Well that's not what I'm meant. But you're taking me
literally, now, what's the problem with you? Then they watching it,
she is scratchy the Unnatural, but it's interrupted when Dwight the news report for
Dwight escaping and he says he will turning himself in. Was he finished?
And they say that seems more than fair. The Unnatural win for a very
long time, it seemed, did it. Yeah? The issues s actually
and then didn't get an end. No, just kept going and going and
going. Yeah, they go and go and go and go and go.
Then we get a montage of Dwight watching Marge, whether you from behind it
on the jumbo tron to the to the tune of Australian band men it works,
who can have been there? And then it is Moe watching her in
the dressing room. I do like the gag of him being in the bron
car not yes, are you finding that all these all the cars do look
alike that when you go to the like the supermarket car park, like I
like that car. I'm like, it's every other fucking car I've ever scene.
Yeah, you and I have basically exactly the same car. Cars are
just cars. Cars Now, you don't get You're not getting a lot of
variety of color, of shape, even and everything. People, we're all
we're all driving around little boxes. Sad man. It makes me sad.
I justly don't drive all that often anymore, unless I'm driving a kid somewhere.
I'm just I'm just here, either a taxi service or I'm here.
But why go out? Really going to be back here eventually? Wild life
now man, But they say that the Platt they go to the Plasta Mountain
thing park, It's already takes it to Dialbit's flying keep you cool with a
Dibet theme playing in the background. A few other rise there, and he
wants a day just so he can remember what it was like before he got
abandoned and she but he still won't put the gun down. He's going to
be pointing it through his jacket. Crusty, Uh and h would have a
bit of exchange here, Krusty, I haven't seen you since that terrifying day.
Uh, you'll have to be way more specific. We were hostages at
the bank. Oh yeah, sorry, I offered your life for my safety.
Look, it's Marge with right. I said it was a spark between
them, and you said, no way, I saw it. I just
didn't feel like talking to you. Wait, something screwy here. I'm calling
the cops. But then they point out the cops and they are shooting the
ducks, not actual people. And then Lou says there's a hostly situation.
And this is what Wigham says, Wong and actually no. Wigham says he's
not gonna do anything, doesn't he at first? And he says that monkey
will make a better cheat than either toy monkey or something. Eh. I
don't know. Why not have a minute? We ark within this episode of
you know, Chief Wigan being which tries to do redeemhi stuff at the end
on the pirate ship. The ship, Yeah, I guess, okay,
there was. That's why Dwight then saved the day by jumping into the cogs
of the ride, throwing his body upon the gears. Dwight basically gets caught
sent back to prison. Homer se is gonna be one of the four amigos
now to get some odd jobs for him on the outside. And then Dwight
gives Marge a little soap thing that he carved out which says, you chet
up the guard by a knife, the guard behind me. I can't do
that. This is a thought, so you can keep it. And that's
the end of the episode. And that's the end of the episode. Yeah,
I mean this was better than what we've had so far this season.
M I think I'm enjoying the guest stars. Yes, the last couple of
episodes, the guest roles have been much more what classic Simpsons would do,
where they're playing a character as opposed to hey, look it's so and so
as Yeah, I was just about to say, we've talked about this recently,
but yeah, it's good having an actor and a name brand on board,
but it's not someone who's so famous, like it's so and so.
It's like it's Steep a shaming, isn't it? Let him act the man
cook And it was the usual Marge helping somebody story, but at least this
time it kind of got flipped where but justified in what she did. But
she was one letting the other person down, which was a nice change.
Indeed, what do we learn bomb? What you learned from the episode with
Davis? That you could call it the electric chair? But why do that
when you can call it the killer? What couch, the death Davenport,
the electric lap, the crow cooker or the scorch stool? What a we
you did? Theate notes I did first time crazy man? Well I learned
that negotiator it's not worth watching. And the dude who was not al Pacino
in DoD D Afternoon, what was his name? John Kazzar was married to
Meryl Streep. They were married life partner. Yes, forward, your names
will be it's the guy Davis New Name Championship for season nineteen. It's round
four, but the current leaderboard stands at this in first position on five points
Kyle Clever Kyle Muldoon in third position, sorry, second position. On three
points, we have Adam Moorehouse, Jared Hornby and Phil Hawkins and Jay Brother
in third position. On two points we have Heath Appleby. What have we
got this week? What do we have this week? Okay? One point
goes to hell or high stalker. That's Phil Hawkins, which means he is
now outright second position as it currently stands before we get to the end of
this round. So still Phil. He is on four points now he was
on two I actually know was he on three? No? You got one
point there, he's now on four. Yes, you get said, yes,
no worries all right? Two points go to don't day Afternoon or they
always get you with the dose? Don't they? That works though, dot
day Afternoon. That's a good name, really does. I probably would preferred
that title. Then what we actually got do day Afternoon? I think?
So yeah? I like it. That's all Adam Moorehouse. That puts Adam
Now oh he's now even first on five points with Clever kle let Kyle gets
the three points. What have we got? Well? Who gave us this
three point winner? Thief and the Coddler. Oh, not bad. It's

everyone to be a part of the Guy Davis New Dan Championship. You're just
going to be a supporter of ours on Patreon. Al Right, mister Davis,
It is now time for the mail bag for this week's show. Open
up that mail bag. Bail is here now before we start this week's mail
bab, mister Daves, we have a bit of a public notice, don't
we. We do. Indeed, we hit pause on record and we had
a long discussion, by which I mean Dando talked and I nodded my head.
So take it because usually it's guy talking me, it's nodding my head
during the podcast, indeed, but I usually just talk shit, whereas Dano
actually came up with strategy and plan. So with the mail bags, right,
so we get into an era of The Simpsons where people are enjoying listening
to us talk about the episodes. They don't necessarily have many, we hope,
memories of the episodes, and we thought with the mail bag, they
sort of pad the episodes out a bit long. Sometimes they sort of drag
on, not not dragon, but you know, they get a bit too
long. So we thought, what what we're gonna do now is to shave
things up a bit. Is there's been episodes specific mail bags for god knows
how long. What we're gonna do now is shake it up, and we
just want a general mail because the mail bag itself from the from the Free
Feet listeners, the Simpsons mailbag at gmail dot com is somewhat dried up.
And we do this show and it feels like sometimes you're just sort of like
screaming out into the vortex of nothing. And if we don't hear back from
you guys we heard from the pages, we don't hear you guys from listening
on the free we won't hear from you. It feels like are you actually
listening? So we want to hear from you example of you, Dan.
We want to hear from you guys every week now right in Simpson's Mailbag at
gmail dot com. Because what we're gonna do is every month. We're not
gonna be doing episode specific mailbags at the end of the episodes anymore. This
would be the final mailbag at the end of an episode, So a bit
of history here for figure discount, We're gonna be doing a monthly mail bag
whi'ch just ask, guying down to anything. It can be Simpsons related,
it can be whatever you want, and that will be going up as a
bonus episode at the end of the month. So you're still gonna be getting
Simpsons reviews throughout the month, but then as a bonus episode as an extra,
you're gonna be getting a monthly ask, guying down or anything mailbag episode
as well, because we feel if we just want to talk about more other
random stuff as opposed to just this episode. Because sometimes it can be hard
to think, what's an episode based around a question? Based around this episode,
there's less and less questions coming through, So Simpson's Mailbag at gmail dot
com. If you are listening now and you haven't written anything in, we
would love to hear from you. It's one of my many joys of doing
this podcast is hearing from all the listeners. So please do right in Simpsons
Mailbag at gmail dot com and you will be part of the New Guy and
Dando monthly mail bag specials. Wow, you got all that? I think
I think I got most of that. Basically, the point is you're gonna
be getting no mail back then of the regular episodes, but you'll be getting
a monthly extended mail bags as a bonus, as a bone, as a
bonus. Just sometimes this is fun to sit down and have to review something
and just talk. That's true, that's the plan. So we're gonna be
doing that going forward. They may be listening to that, don't you guys
do that anyway. The first question here comes from Sam pass So pas papas
rising contributor apparently in the four figure discount Patreon community. Is that like a
little official yeah, yeah, so rising contributor. Yeah, because Andrew JP
is Andrew is the first first to comment on that one, but it wasn't
the first part. So he's an all star contributor. Hey, now,
so, Sam says, are there any movies that I considered the greatest of
all time or cult classics that you guys don't like or are not for you?
Mine is Blade Runner. I have tried at least five times to watch
it, and I just can't sit through it. I've never seen Forrest Gump
in full. I was too young to enjoy it when I was younger.
Tom Hanks is wonderful, but I have no desire to see that one missing
out there. Andrew Blade Runner, I remember watching it and really enjoying it,
but I haven't had any desire to sort of revisit it, and I
haven't seen the sequel either. I quite like the sequel, and I quite
like Blade Runner. I'm not necessarily someone who's like it's the deepest thing of
all time. It's certainly one that I revisit. But yeah, I mean,
oh, this is an interesting question. I'm not sure how many sort
of goats there are that I'm like. I've never seen the Planet of the
Eight movies, haven't you. No, I've bought the new ones because you
recommended them to me. I'm going to go back in movies at the old
If you said, how fucking weird there. I've seen clips of them and
I'm like, this seems so bizarre, like the Underground one. Yeah,
absolutely, all on Disney Plus now everything leading up to Kingdom of the Plenty
Apps, which is now in cinemas. Oh gosh, this one's on me.
This is more classic comedy. I just never really have been able to
get into the Monty Python Python films. I'm glad you mentioned that. Actually,
yeah, person all, yeah, continue, that's just that's just that's
it. That was just I don't want to go on a hate range.
No, I don't want I'm not saying they're bad now. I remember watching
them at a couple of sort of house parties and some of my friends were
just cackling of laughed at and I'm thinking, and is it just me and
I had a touch. It's just I know, it's it's differends who were
wrong. I can see why you're finding this funny, but for me personally,
I just wasn't really getting the big WHOA, Okay, great this is
and I know it is amazing comedy. It's just not for me. Yeah,
No, I get the same feeling. Actually, I think there's growing
up there was a lot of English comedy that really twigged with a lot of
people and it just became part of their personality or part of their sort of
comic DNA. And yeah, Monty Path is certainly one of those. The
Goodies is yeah, not to be confused with the Goonies. Not confused with
the goonies, which is also not really my bag either. Yeah, you
probably went at the right age for it. No, No, you're late
teens, late teens. And if it's a weird movie, yeah, you
miss it by just like a year or two. And it's like, no,
that's for kids. It's a very nostalgia film. I'm a grim nip.
Yeah, I'm looking at here a list movies. I'm gonna throw this
out there. You're gonna hate me for it, but it's only because I
love the sequel so much more, but only one. I'm just never being
sold. I understand this set up the franchise, right, I understand it
is what it is, but I think the sequel was just so much more
entertaining to me. Oh yeah, look, Aliens is a bono far crab
please, And I'm the same with Terminator as well, too, so much,
I think because it came out when I was a kid. Okay,
I thought we got that nostalgia for it as well. But I just love
teaching so much more than T One. I get where you're coming from.
I'm the opposite, okay really yeah. T One for me over T too,
Okay, absolutely, And I wouldn't say Alien over Aliens for mine.
They both they scratch different niches, but it's equally satisfied different films altogether,
very much. So. Yeah, I don't know if it's this is necessarily
something that's regarded as like a goat or anything like that, but I'm just
not a Doctor Who guy at all. I've never watched it, same as
Star Trek. I tried watching The First Person Next Generation the other night.
I think it may have just been too tired, but I watched this going
maybe it just isn't for me. Could well be the thing, Yeah,
I mean it could be just the time that it was made and also me
maybe just not in the Star Trek. I mean, it's not right,
not my thing either. The saying is bad. It's just not my thing.
It's funny. I've got friends who are very into Doctor Who, and
they will have their like Facebook check group or whatever, and they'll be very
hardcore fan base. Oh we bleed. Yeah, I'm not not check with
like a DM like you know, like a private message group about doctor who.
Yeah, And occasionally one of them will forget which thread they're in and
I'll start talking one that. I mean, it's like it's like in that
episode, was like, you're in the wrong thread, go back, go
back with your other friends to a guy said he's always death. Oh shit,
hey, yes, it's two more, replied Andrew J. P.
See what else he said? Sam said, Jenny will make you want to
jump off a bridge, one of the most annoying characters. No, dude,
I don't think she did it pretty hard. Yeah, she did as
a child, and she never really got the help that she needed support she
needed, so she was locked into a pattern of bad behavior. I did
see a meme once. We're saying, I feel like we completely forgot the
fact that Jenny was to heal in that film, and she only came back
to see Forrest when she realized she had no one else. She got AIDS
and she wanted a dump a kid on somebody, And I was like,
that's I think that's the plot of the film. I think that's a bit
uncharitable. Yes, she made some bad decisions, but she didn't have the
supports around her to guide her in the right direction. And yes she had
Forest They're always supporting her. But he wasn't going to be putting food on
the table, was he. I guess he probably was hatock but in the
But was he rich throughout the film or was he just rich at the end?
Uh? I think he was well known and relatively popular and therefore probably
had a little bit going for him. But when I said the end of
the film, I mean, like that his story he's telling throughout the film,
doesn't he doesn't He gave Bubba's mum some of the shares apple or something,
right, I think so it was a shares shrimp company in the shrimp
company. Yeah, he does pretty well throughout, But I mean he was
a college football star, that's right. Yeah, And I think they do
pretty well, not necessarily financially well for themselves, but you know, it
does Jenny pretty pretty good to be on the arm of Forest Gump all American.
Yeah, there's a lot to dive into with Forest Gump, but I
think we really should maybe dive in properly. Yeah, Andrew says here,
I've heard that the ending and what Jenny does is controversial and seen enough parodies
of it to get the gist. That's enough for me to give it a
miss. Plenty of other excellent Tom makes movies to enjoy instead. No,
watch, you have to see Forest Gump. Yeah. Forest Gump is arguably
he's defining role besides for kids Woody as in Toy Story. Oh, I
think when Tom Hanks does two hundred years from Now, because stay around for
it. For Tom Hanks, life is like a box of chocolates. Yeah,
it's going to be. It's going to be. Forrest Gump star Tom
Hanks died today at the age of two hundred and sixty eight. Everyone.
Everyone obviously an eder jepy, but it feels like everyone's seen Forrest Gump.
Yeah, absolutely, and quoted it at least once in their life. If
you see somebody run, it's impossible to say Forest run, Forest run.
Yeah. This sounds very fence. Sitting on my part as listened to what
the Mail Day podcast. This is nothing about the Simpsons. Yeah, I
like it. It's fun. This is a really good test. Runds what
we're going to do Forest Gump is a really simple movie and a pretty deep
movie. And I don't mean deep, it's like, oh, it's full
of profound mess. It's like you can read a lot into this, or
you can you can really pull it apart in a lot of ways, like
is Jenny a villain? Is she an opportunist? Is you know she actually
the love of forest life? I think it's meant to be that deep though,
is it? It's what it's like meant to be a series of events.
Yeah, but I think the reason that's successful as it has been,
and you know why I cans to sort of resonate. You can pick it
apart. There's a there's a fair bit of meat on their bone. Yeah,
you can take it as Oh, it's a simple story about a simple
man who gets lucky or you know, is in the right place at the
right time, or who's innate goodness enables him to sort of flourish. And
I still say this is one of my favorite acting performances of all time.
This scene, I've said this is when he won the oscar. When he
finds out, oh your boy is his son? Hes Jenny and doesn't say
the words, but he asked does he have any just but the look and
it's like, fucking hell. Oh yeah, that's one of the best active
performances I've ever seen. Yeah. They were talking about on another podcast recently
and talking about this scene, and I was out walking and I was like,
I've got to get home and I've got to put that on YouTube and
I watched it. I was like, the way he just points to himself
because because he's aware of himself. Oh yeah, absolutely, Yeah, it's
it's it's a it's a fucking magnificent It's not it's not an I Am Sam
situation. No, no, no, I mean where Sam seems someone sort
of plays role. He's like, he's oblivious Sean Pan God bless him,
very very very very very good actor and really goes for it in a dedicated
way with I Am Sam. I love I Am Sam. I do like,
yeah, but to quote Jack and trap Ganda, you went fu low
Wood, Yeah, never got word And I don't know You're right about that
scene though. In Forrest Company Man, it's it's so it's it's heartbreaking and
heartwarming. It's fantasticause it sits next to him watching the TV. Yeah,
it's great. No, just Hanks saying He's the most beautiful thing I've ever
seen that ship. Yeah, you're fucking dead, all right, Andrew Swan,
did you know that Steve Ami was a fire fighter nine to eleven?
Maybe? He says a kid. I think it's a bit of a meme.
Did you know? Fact? At this point? How do you?
How do you do? Fellow kids? There's anothermi meme for you? What
else do you this comment before we talk about this stuff, by the way,
not at all. How what else do you like by Steve Shemy?
I hope you have fun with these questions. I think we may have answered
this, Andrew, I think we did. The first chapter of this podcast
was Steve for Shemy Love Chris, Melissa Cravats Krevets Crevets Marge did everything she
could think of to avoid seeing Dwight in prison. What is your most recent
task that you know you should do but avoid all costs? What have you
been doing whilst procrastinating about it? The shelves are still not up and the
buddy's feet are comfy, But I feel pretty good about myself in general.
Mine is selling all the pops and shit that I've got, because get this,
I sold some pops on eBay on the weekend. Right eBay charge a
selling fee on the postage. Now what So I received eighty one dollars right
for it went for eighty one dollars. This pop that I sold right and
Danny Phantom Pop and then this person was international. I just put up there
in my description. Let me know if you're in national before you pay,
I need to work at the exact cost. I just put thirty dollars as
a basic thing, but don't pay it yet. We're gonna work out exactly
what it would cost depending on your destination. Of course, that is wet
and paid it anyway because people don't read their idiots, so they pay thirty
dollars for that. And then it was like an extra sixteen dollars or something,
some sort of tax or whatever. But I got charge of selling fee
based on how much they have to pay for the postage. So I'm eBay,
what the fuck is going on here? So I said to Nicolas,
I'm just gonna get because I ended up getting ninety one dollars. So it's
going to cost me forty six dollars to post this thing, and they gave
you ten dollars for it. It's cost I'm paying thirty six dollars to post
this thing. I ain't doing that shit, absolutely not. All right,
so what's what's your plan. I'm going to say that my son's stood on
the popping and damage. Now I'm just going to say it's no longer for
sale. I'm looking. I'm not. I'm going to be I should be
getting eighty one dollars for this item minus selling fees, and then they just
pay the shipping costs. No. No, they're basically making me pay the
ship it to this guy and using Germany. Don't know about this. It's
something seems wrong here. It feels like we're at the end times of capitalism
and everybody is just trying to get the bag anyway they can. What I
was going to call it to the movies to see if right. I thought,
I'll order some tickets because of the baby session was the set. The
cinema was empty, and I was about to buy the tickets, and I
thought, it's a six dollar fifty booking fee. How about I'm going there
anyway. The fucking room's empty. I might just get a human to serve
me and not pay a booking fee. What the hell. So it's like
I went to the cinema, bought the ticket, no booking fee, but
if I ordered it on my phone, it's a booking fee. Is there's
no human into who is worth the booking fee going to? Who Isn't tech
meant to reduce these costs, I mean I would. It's like when you
buy a ticket for a concert of booking fee, I'm like, well,
what are you? But I can the electricity to keep the computers plugged in,
But I can go to the cinema, have to deal to a staff,
deal with a staff member who's being paid a wage that you're paying as
well, and I don't have to pay a booking fee and get it.
But you take the human out of the situation, and I have to pay
a booking fee. You take the wage out of the situation, and I
have. It's sky man. So I just didn't buy. I bought tickets
there and say six dollars fifty sudden I get the supermarket. Now I'm getting
old, But I got a super supermarket the other day, and I thought
I could get in that long ass fucking line for the self serve and serve
myself, or I could wait an extra two minutes and have a human serve
me. Oh yeah, And I went and I got to the end of
it, and I was like, you know what was nice being asked how
my fucking day was? Yeah? How many servers have you got in the
in the supermarket? It was free going right, And I was like,
and you know what it was? So this was a lovely moment actually.
So there was an old lady there and there was an old guy in front
of me, and it was gonna be me and the old guy in front
of me turned around and saw that only had sort of of a basket for
me, and saw look a bit of a trolley. He goes, he
can get it for me, mate, Yeah, let's me go before him.
I didn't have my Wool Worst card of me, so I let him
clime to the points for the woolwors card nicely. I'll get it back.
But it's just nice going. I am having a good day. Thanks.
Oh, this is human interaction. We're forgetting what it's like. Yeah.
Look, we're trying not to play too many favorites here at full finger discount.
But I think you'll notice that, Aldie, they've still got people at
the doing the checkout as opposed to you doing the self service at other supermarkets.
We told they had these. We sound so old now, I don't
fucking care. It's it's getting to a point where we need to start realizing.
My mental state has been the best lately, and I've realized going to
the getting served by a person and going and dealing with the person and buy
my hoppol and paying my ticket that way, just seeing people were social animals.
We need social with people. It makes you feel better. Internet.
It's good for a lot of things, but it has fucked a lot of
things up, or it is fucking a lot of things. It's not fucking
things up. It'll be Andrew JP with this question, aside from Elaine,
what's your favorite Julia Lewis, Louis Dryvers. He's written diapers, It's strips.
Threw me off there. Louis drivers role. I love her as Selena
Mayer in VPS. She's utterly perfect as a narcissistic, power hungry politician who
will step over anyone to get in her way. I've never watched VEEP.
I've only said I haven't seen all of it, but what I have seen
I've really enjoyed. Yes, any other particular roles you like of hers.
Yeah, she's been a couple of movies lately, just some sort of low
key she has a podcast apparently, of course she does. It's not our
turf JLD. I love you, but still, you know, let the
up and comers and the up and comers mid fifties division, I have a
go jail. There has been in a couple of movies. Well, when
I say recently, I think one's like maybe ten years old now. But
the movie is called Enough Said? Yeah, what's with Sopranos with Gandalfini his
last role was his last role. Yeah, it's a sort of a rom
goum about you know, these people who are a little later in life.
Are we lucky that we've got the Sopranos finished? Before that happened? It
came out of fucking nowhere? Oh absolutely, it would have just ruined the
show. It was just so great that we finally got that. We got
it before. It was not two years later. I was about five years
later, wasn't it. Maybe? Yeah that was a fucking loss. Yeah,
miss Gandalfini, that did right, But yeah, yeah, it's a
romantic comedy called Enough Said, with Julie Luid Drivers and James Gandalfoeni as this
couple who are sort of navigating a late in life romance. And she was
recently the lead in another comedy by the same director, a terrific writer director
named Nicole Hole of Center. I believe it. He Branson called you Hurt
My Feelings, which has one of the great premises. If you're a grady
person, this will just fucking hit home for you. She's in a very
happy marriage, a very long term marriage with her husband who's a therapist.
She's a novelist, and she overhears at a party her husband saying to a
friend, Yeah, I'm her latest work in progress. It's not very good,
but he's been being very supportive all the time. No, no,
keep going. It's great. It's great, but you're saying it's not good.
And she overhears, like, oh fuck, what else is you know?
What else is he not telling me about her marriage? It's a terrific
idea and it's really good. She's's terrific in it. So yeah, jailed,
I mean, I really liked her voice roles in A Bug's Life.
Well, in Bug's Life, she is the princess, the main like so
flicks Princess What is a Bug's Life A Bugs Life cast because we had space
in that as the villain. Yeah. Is Dave Foley from Kids in the
Horn? Yeah, yeah, yeah, she played Princess Adda. Okay,
yes, so she's basically like the main female in the film. She's great
now she's also the mother. Onward a really good movie that. Oh yeah,
that's some of the death of COVID. Yeah, yeah, because the
Pixar Well it's Chris Cratton, Tom Holland. Yeah, it's a really good
movie. My kids love it. Yeah, if you ever checked that Onward
Worth, it's worth watching. Same with Luca. Luca's another film that came
out during the whole COVID time? Is that Is that Pixar? Is that
just Disney Animation? There's a lot of those. It's like incanto, Is
that just Disney or is that Pixar? Luca is twenty by what Disney Pictures
and Pixar Animation? And then Onward I'm pretty sure that's Pixar as well.
Is Disney picks us is on the poster? Yeah, there we go.
Yeah, that's good be as well. Cool, You've got some recommendations there.
Andrew JP as well, as you know, you're big upping deep,
which of course you should do. Yes, all right, all do one
more question here. That's all we have left. So, Harris Harrison McClure,
outside of any Sandman films, what's your favorite Stevemi role? I really
enjoyed him in the Soprano Sopranos, of course. Yeah. Yeah, we're
pretty much discussed enough about Shemi, right. I think for me my favorite
wi always be Billy Madison and con Air. They're the two the rest of
my dogs, of course. Yeah, he's fantastic in resond Yes, oh
gosh, yeah. Look, I'm gonna go to end this Deemi films.
I'm going to say the title and you I would be going, yeah,
you don't. Look, I'm gonna be the titles out of you. It's
me a bit of a game, guys. Initial reaction whether it's gonna be
good or not Steve Bismi films, All right, I'll read it the first
twenty Escape from La uh No, not worth it is in like the movie
or him h It's a very Steve Bishmi performance, but not worth it.
So no, not worth it, all right, Connair? Yes, yes,
twenty eight days. I don't really remember him in it. But that's
the Sandra Bullock. Yeah, it goes to rehab one. Yep, so
we don't remember the reds of our dogs of course, Absolutelynk Cobbler. That's
a Sandman one. Yeah, twenty fourteen. Yeah, I've never seen I
never seen it. Fargo, Well, yep, me mob, how do
you spell it? Then says underneath, who do I Gotta Kill? Me?
Mob? Who do I Go to Kill? Nineteen ninety four? Never
heard of it? Who Do I Got to Kill? Also known as Me
and the Mob Sorry, is a nineteen ninety four comedy film directed and co
written by Frank Rioni Rate Rain One, with James Lorinz and Rocco Simonelli also
writing. The film star Sandra Bullock, John Costello, to Steve Amy,
and James Lawrenz. Okay, I've heard of James Lawrence, a cutsy writer
turns hit man for a story thanks to his mobster uncle who gets him the
job. Okay, this is a very people seem to like that. Quentin
Tarantino. I'm gonna try and make a movie in that vein. Yes,
all right, So that one's and so far the dead don't die. Yeah,
that's not bad. The recent one. Yeah, with Adam Driver and
Bill Murray. It's a Jim Jarmush film, Mister Deeds. Of course,
he's in the Samman films. Yeah, he's just he's a sad man man.
He's a regular. Yeah, Armageddon. I can't rememb who is again
one of the He's rock. He's the comic relief of He's part of Bruce
Willis's rock. Count Bruce Willis's relief. He's perfect for that role though.
Isn't he the guy who can you can kill off but you love him?
Oh? Yeah, I think you can get like a rule emotion out Steve
Shemy not again? Does he survive? I'm again? Probably? I think
so? Is it just uh what's his face? Spoiler alert? Affleck comes
back? He said them all back, doesn't he? Which is the one
where a guy goes blind? Is that is that mission to Mars? Maybe?
Maybe? I don't think Owen Wilson read the movie where Wilson survives,
and I don't think Michael Clarke Duncan survives and armaged a movie. I remember
there's a movie where and it's the dude from Drop Dead Fred who plays the
love interest of Phoebe Cats, but he's he goes blind. Something happens like
bright lives blind him. And then he's talking to his daughter and his wife
I think back home via screen and they don't know he's gone blind, and
they're telling him your taught us doing this, now your wife's doing that.
Okay, yep, no, not important. Let's pick two more films and
will wrap up this mail bag, all right, Desprito worth it? Yeah,
absolutely earlier Robert Rodriguez movie with Antonio Bandetas and one more. Pick a
film that I don't think I have seen things to do in Denver when you're
dead. Well that's that's written by Connor's Scott Rosenberg. Oh okay, did
you mention that before? Did you? I did? Yeah, I think
you play. I don't know if he's mister Shush in that, but he's
like's missed the names in Reservoir Dogs. I think he's like the the evil
hit man in it, and he doesn't say a word, and he's just
like, but you look like Steve a. Shemi, so you're kind of
terrifying. He's got the perfect face where you can buy him as a sadistic
serial killer but also as a goofball at the exact same time, but they
have to change his face. Yeah, I mean in Reservoir Dogs. It's
great because he seems like he's not out of place among these other tough guys
like Harvey, Guy Teller, Michael Madison and that. But he quickly shows
that he's just as ruthless and just as Yeah, he's very dedicated to his
code as a professional. It's a really good performance. And yeah, Steve
Amy, he's great. It was Mission to mass by the way, and
his name is Cavin Smith, Cavanne Smith, Varne Smith. I don't think
it's it's not the love interest from Drop Dead Fred. But he's been in
films such as The Perfect Bride, You Had Me at Aloha? So nothing
really You held Me at Aloha? Oh that sounds fantastic. That's good.
That's pretty good at it. That suns that if you don't be met sand
Man, that sounds like we have to lay He's Steve won appone in this
movie. We're in a way, right, what are you doing? Chris?
Who's Who's Kevin? Kevin James? He's lost weight now, I know,
yeah, popped up? How Netflix has that annoying thing I you can
turn it off where it starts playing ship before you watch it. We got
a Netflix but it popped up and I watched like a minute of it.
I was like, Um, you're funny, but yeah, you're funny when
you're fat. But I mean, I like the fact that he's lost weight.
Way Knight's lost weight, John Goodban' last weight. It's great people actually
looking after themselves true. Way Night. Yeah, I was surprised by that.
Saw a picture of him in something recently. I saw a great clip
from his because Jason Alexander has a podcast and you're waiting, yeah, and
Wayne Night was a guest on there, and Jason Alexander I think he was
expecting a different response, but he goes, I mean, you made reports
people saying that we were difficult to work with or we were a bit sort
of cold to the guests and things. And he's like, what did you
ever think that? Wayne? Wayne goes, you were professionals, and he's
like, so it's a yes, and he goes, you just you knew
you were the bigger show on TV. So it's basically, you're here on
our show, don't fuck it up. And Jason's like, oh, I
guess we were. I don't know, I kind of respect that. Yeah,
I respect that. Wayne was just like not you didn't go no,
no, I respect Jason Alexander saying all that kind of mindsets, like you've
come to play on Seinfeld, play on Seinfeld. Yeah, don't funk about.
But way now we'll go. That's just a you're professional, very diplomatic
of Wayne. All right, guys, this has been our review of what
