<v Speaker 2>I accidentally burned up the tree in the presence. I'm
<v Speaker 2>really sorry.
<v Speaker 3>You four finger Discount dude.
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to four figure Discount a special classic review. It
<v Speaker 1>is the classic review of December, and of course it's
<v Speaker 1>going to be the Christmas episode Miracle on Evergreen Terrorist.
<v Speaker 1>I'm dwand O and Guy. Now, I've always seen this
<v Speaker 1>episode right as the true Simpsons Christmas fash Besides the
<v Speaker 1>pilot right now, it's like a Christmas special in itself.
<v Speaker 1>But March being up proud, I think is the best
<v Speaker 1>Christmas episode. But Simpsons are thunder Pilot's great, so obviously
<v Speaker 1>might have been up Proud is the market it's called shoplifting.
<v Speaker 1>It's a great story. It's got the really emotional ending.
<v Speaker 1>This one here, whilst it's not so much not as funny,
<v Speaker 1>I don't think as much being up Proud it is
<v Speaker 1>not the better story. I just think it feels more
<v Speaker 1>like a Springfield story wherever the whole town's involved, and
<v Speaker 1>we've got there. It's a wonderful live parody and titles
<v Speaker 1>of player on on thirty fourth Street. It just feels
<v Speaker 1>like a Christmas because March. Being up Proud feels like
<v Speaker 1>a very special episode of The Simpsons, as we say
<v Speaker 1>here at four figure discount, where you shouldn't shop with kids.
<v Speaker 1>You know you're learning your lesson, you meet your mum disappointed.
<v Speaker 1>This one here is just it's the Simpsons spring for
<v Speaker 1>at Christmas time. That is correct.
<v Speaker 4>Yes, having said that much, Being not Proud does have
<v Speaker 4>the line by me bone storm and go to hell.
<v Speaker 4>It does indeed so advantage that episode.
<v Speaker 1>It's not always advantage that episode, always advantage that episode.
<v Speaker 1>I know I much prefer because I think this episode
<v Speaker 1>here I would say has my least favorite Simpsons moment
<v Speaker 1>of all time. Oh my gosh, from the Golden you know,
<v Speaker 1>like this black moments and the teens what not. But
<v Speaker 1>and maybe it's because I remember I've mentioned it before.
<v Speaker 1>I remember being on the TV and my mum seeing
<v Speaker 1>it and just being just like what is this and going,
<v Speaker 1>you're right, yeah, that was. It's when the two kids
<v Speaker 1>from the orphanage get called free loaders and come back
<v Speaker 1>when you get some parents. I thought that's just really mean,
<v Speaker 1>mean spirited. I don't see how they ever thought that
<v Speaker 1>was funny. It just felt so, it just feels so
<v Speaker 1>it just stands out, particularly particularly for a Christmas episode. Yeah, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>one that's.
<v Speaker 4>It does have a bit of a dark I want
<v Speaker 4>to go so far as a nasty sense of humor
<v Speaker 4>all the way through it.
<v Speaker 1>But you know, it's cynical this episode. It is kind
<v Speaker 1>of cynical.
<v Speaker 4>I mean, even though you've rearded the status quo, by
<v Speaker 4>the end, it's like, oh, you know, the legends been
<v Speaker 4>even out. You know, we don't hate you anymore, but
<v Speaker 4>we'd take we did take all your ship. Even though
<v Speaker 4>it ends on a very nice note of like, well
<v Speaker 4>the family doesn't have it anymore. But they're still They've
<v Speaker 4>still got each other, and you know they're still having
<v Speaker 4>fun by playing keep you off with the It's not
<v Speaker 4>keep you uppy, is it keeps off? Hands off, whatever
<v Speaker 4>it is with the face washer or the handtowel or
<v Speaker 4>whatever it is.
<v Speaker 1>Blue, by the way, number one show on Disney. Blue's
<v Speaker 1>doing all right, Blue's doing fucking incredible, the number one
<v Speaker 1>showing the world. Man, I know, I am using the
<v Speaker 1>art of unbelievable. And we get on that before the
<v Speaker 1>none thought it was cool jo Joff What a legend
<v Speaker 1>he was, That's right. Yeah. Even our review of the
<v Speaker 1>songs in the Key Springfield Simpson's album with the musical
<v Speaker 1>producer of Bluey Joff Bush, check it out if you
<v Speaker 1>haven't done it so already. He was a cool guy.
<v Speaker 1>He was a very cool guy. Indeed, yes, you just
<v Speaker 1>need to get him on the show again in the future.
<v Speaker 1>But speaking of the music, I particularly love the score
<v Speaker 1>of this one. When the tree is melting, it just
<v Speaker 1>threw out. It's still the classic Simpson's scorn, but it's
<v Speaker 1>tweeked to sort of just really emphasize the moment. I thought,
<v Speaker 1>particularly when the trees melting it. It's so good.
<v Speaker 4>I think they also were clever in making Bart not
<v Speaker 4>the villain of this or the bad guy this. But
<v Speaker 4>it's his actions that sort of said it all in motion,
<v Speaker 4>because you know, it's something you'd expect from Bart. He's
<v Speaker 4>young enough, rash enough, impulsive enough, mischievous enough to sort
<v Speaker 4>of do something. Of course child, Yeah, of course he's
<v Speaker 4>going to go down and check out his presence early
<v Speaker 4>and that kind of thing, and yeah, be a little
<v Speaker 4>careless and that kind of stuff. But as he said,
<v Speaker 4>also a child, of course, so he's gonna want.
<v Speaker 1>To cover it up. You're going to forgive him lying
<v Speaker 1>about it a bit more than you would and because
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't want to be the guy that ruined Christmas
<v Speaker 1>for his family. It's the scene that looks on their
<v Speaker 1>faces that goes, oh, because he was about to tell
<v Speaker 1>the truth and he goes, I can't do this. Yeah.
<v Speaker 4>Somehow get the feeling like I could be way wrong here,
<v Speaker 4>But it feels like in if you entered, if you
<v Speaker 4>went out of classic Simpson's goal near a Simpsons or whatever, I do.
<v Speaker 4>I get the feeling I might have Homer doing this.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, because Bart was being selfish here, but Homie would
<v Speaker 1>be doing it, it would feel more crass. I feel
<v Speaker 1>like if home It was doing it for sure, like
<v Speaker 1>what It's almost like he knew it could happen and
<v Speaker 1>he still still did it. Anyway. That's the kind of
<v Speaker 1>thing that hom It would do in the teeniar of
<v Speaker 1>the Simpsons. And I think that's what the most important
<v Speaker 1>element of this story is that Bart does all this
<v Speaker 1>and it's because he makes the self decision. But it
<v Speaker 1>was an accident. He doesn't mean to brush it down.
<v Speaker 1>He was just being a kid anyway. Oh oh, so
<v Speaker 1>he did the wrong thing and these were the repercussions. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>and I like that, you know, the family forgives him.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he could have done this at Christmas morning
<v Speaker 1>when everyone was still.
<v Speaker 4>There, that is correct. Yeah, yeah, I mean no, I
<v Speaker 4>like that he was figured the moment eventually. I mean
<v Speaker 4>there's the initial of cause anger and that kind of thing,
<v Speaker 4>but then they rally around their little guy when everyone
<v Speaker 4>else starts turning on them.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, And that's the message here is The message
<v Speaker 1>overall is at least we've got each other. So even
<v Speaker 1>though it doesn't seem that way because it starts off,
<v Speaker 1>I thought it's it's quite clever in the way. It's
<v Speaker 1>in the sense it starts off with material. We're going
<v Speaker 1>to the shops and Christmas Eve, we're doing all the shopping.
<v Speaker 1>Everyone's out buying toys, blah blah blah blah blah, emphasizing
<v Speaker 1>what toys we're getting for Christmas. By the end, it's
<v Speaker 1>who cares about the toys with each other and we're
<v Speaker 1>chasing each other having fun with this rag. I'm pretty
<v Speaker 1>sure they're still thinking who cares about the toys? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>but they've found a little light in the darkness they
<v Speaker 1>have indeed. Yeah, it's just a sweet ending. It is.
<v Speaker 1>Although this was a teen era episode of The Simpsons,
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I would critique the ending more because
<v Speaker 1>I'd go, so, now they've got no possessions anymore. I've
<v Speaker 1>never questioned it until I did this, and I went, so,
<v Speaker 1>how do they get their shit back? Yeah? I was
<v Speaker 1>thinking about that. You wouldn't that an insurance either, Although.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean, couldn't you just call the cops? And
<v Speaker 4>then you realize the cops are.
<v Speaker 5>My favorite?
<v Speaker 1>What's your favorite moments from the episode.
<v Speaker 4>It's going in order throughout the episode. I'm going to
<v Speaker 4>say not a bad scam by home pretty.
<v Speaker 1>Good before that practical. I've always loved the car park
<v Speaker 1>right because it's being a jerk, but it's one of
<v Speaker 1>those things where who among us have arrived to the
<v Speaker 1>shop to pick up a peace or something and chips,
<v Speaker 1>and it's like, oh, the handicapped spots the only one left.
<v Speaker 1>Let's run the numbers here.
<v Speaker 4>What are the chances that someone with a sticker on
<v Speaker 4>their car is going to be showing it? But this
<v Speaker 4>exact moment, my pizzas ready, we got.
<v Speaker 1>To run in. We've all done it. I've got a
<v Speaker 1>limp in, yes, but what the best thing is, Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>the way it's not just he limps in, he parks
<v Speaker 1>across three of them, that's so good. I mean unnecessarily
<v Speaker 1>parks across three.
<v Speaker 4>I think it speaks one thing about our acceptance of
<v Speaker 4>golden age Simpsons that we're kind of going, oh, this
<v Speaker 4>is not jerk out Simer, this is just Homer. Yeah,
<v Speaker 4>And we're almost will project our own flaws and and
<v Speaker 4>faults onto him because like, as we said, who among us,
<v Speaker 4>whereas I think it's the limb too. You jump, you
<v Speaker 4>jump ahead ten seasons and he does that and we're like, ah,
<v Speaker 4>this fucking guy.
<v Speaker 1>But I feel like in the in the in the
<v Speaker 1>teen year he would say something like, screw those guys.
<v Speaker 1>I'm just as you know, I deserve as many benefits
<v Speaker 1>as they do. Say something stupid, where this was just
<v Speaker 1>suddenly pass across three spaces and the limp, Yeah we'll
<v Speaker 1>go been there, Yeah, yeah, but the scam is good.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's sort of stretches credibility a little bit, but
<v Speaker 4>the same I was like, I admire your moxye Homer Simpson. Uh,
<v Speaker 4>a very mo line like you don't want to blame
<v Speaker 4>the breakdown of this on society.
<v Speaker 1>Sounds like a George stand alone. Yeah.
<v Speaker 4>I like the classy burg hooks for hands, hooks for hands,
<v Speaker 4>sack suck with a and the and the costume needed
<v Speaker 4>a band mask, and like the stripey sweater the Hamburger.
<v Speaker 4>Marge had a great throwaway line where Krusty is just
<v Speaker 4>referring to, as we said the other day when we
<v Speaker 4>were like, what do we call money.
<v Speaker 1>Bread or dough anymore? That's great, should do that.
<v Speaker 4>And then of course Krusty just uses all these antiquated
<v Speaker 4>terms where well, if you mean the money, I didn't
<v Speaker 4>enjoy it.
<v Speaker 1>That very I thought you would have loved Brockman in
<v Speaker 1>this just the hustle of getting the story. Oh, this
<v Speaker 1>is terrible for grief, But what did you say that
<v Speaker 1>the end? He is this out stanks them all. Thanks
<v Speaker 1>so much. Is a great story. Uh and probably my.
<v Speaker 4>Favorite part of this episode. I really liked the song
<v Speaker 4>over the closing credits.
<v Speaker 1>It was great, wasn't it. Yeah, it really captured the moment.
<v Speaker 4>Yea, yeah, Now I was looking for it in the
<v Speaker 4>actual credits of the show credit. I didn't see it
<v Speaker 4>in there. So I went to the Internet, which we
<v Speaker 4>have provided, and Wiki didn't come through this time. Wiki
<v Speaker 4>did not come through, but other parts of the Internet did.
<v Speaker 4>I didn't rely on AI your Google some of these days,
<v Speaker 4>and it's got your AI stuff at the time, like
<v Speaker 4>scaring me a bit. I'm going I want my Internet handcrafted.
<v Speaker 4>But the song is actually it's called Santa's on his
<v Speaker 4>Way and is by a bend with a great name,
<v Speaker 4>Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys, so.
<v Speaker 1>And so and so and so. I love that.
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we're we're.
<v Speaker 4>Getting a lot of work in before Christmas here at
<v Speaker 4>the full Finger disc and Industries, and we're recording two
<v Speaker 4>episodes back to back today, which is whose Futurama's time
<v Speaker 4>keeps on slipping? As I like to say, Yeah, by
<v Speaker 4>the Steve Miller band. I always love it that you're like,
<v Speaker 4>y know, you've got a bunch of guys together. What's
<v Speaker 4>your band called the Steve Miller Band? Everyone's the background,
<v Speaker 4>Fuck you, Steve.
<v Speaker 1>There's five of this, Guard Davis and the fingers. Next question,
<v Speaker 1>you there eating the paste? All right? Trivia time. My
<v Speaker 1>first question for you is you're talking about homer scam?
<v Speaker 1>But which register does he open? It opens register nine,
<v Speaker 1>number nine, number nine, number nine, speaking numbers? How many
<v Speaker 1>glasses of water does but drink? As I drink a
<v Speaker 1>glass of a quarter, it would be twelve. It was
<v Speaker 1>indeed twelve. Yeah, it's funny. A lot of these classic episodes.
<v Speaker 1>I just it's just so instilled in my brain because
<v Speaker 1>we just watched them over and over again. What does
<v Speaker 1>Homer get for Christmas? What was he going to get?
<v Speaker 1>A question designed just for you? That's right, it's Cajun
<v Speaker 1>one of my questions actually as well. Yeah, for little
<v Speaker 1>Homer keygens. I actually I wanted to point out too,
<v Speaker 1>I did love the that's Mago I love you, Marjorie.
<v Speaker 4>I guess I always knew that her name was Marjorie.
<v Speaker 4>For some reason, I thought it was I didn't think
<v Speaker 4>it was Margaret. But then do you think Maggie is
<v Speaker 4>short for Marjorie as well? Because the margan will be
<v Speaker 4>Maggie is usually short for mate.
<v Speaker 1>Have said her name. I'm pretty sure Maggie is sure.
<v Speaker 1>What is Maggie Simpson's real name? And so have a
<v Speaker 1>look Margaret Lenny Simpson. Yeah, all right, you just asked
<v Speaker 1>me a question. I'm going to ask you one. How

<v Speaker 1>He's cutting that bit out, all right. So let's get
<v Speaker 1>into our review of Miracle on Evergreen Terrorist's original air
<v Speaker 1>date it was December twenty first, ninety seven. I like that.
<v Speaker 1>I love it when close to a wonderful Christmas tame yes,
<v Speaker 1>and it's when it airs just around about the right
<v Speaker 1>time of the holiday. Written by Ron Hage Hey h
<v Speaker 1>a U g e hey cage h A g u E. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>well h a U g e how al hal Calje
<v Speaker 1>directed by Bob Anderson as well and guest starred Alex
<v Speaker 1>Trebeck in Jeopardy. I did see a funny clip. I've
<v Speaker 1>seen it before, but I've forgotten about what happens. It
<v Speaker 1>was like the second episode of Jeopardy that Alex Trebek
<v Speaker 1>ever hosted, and the question was at the end, now
<v Speaker 1>they do the question, they gamble what they bet and they.
<v Speaker 4>To quote Bruce Willlison die, how would you like to
<v Speaker 4>go for double Jeopardy where the schools can really change?
<v Speaker 1>So the question was what date? What was the date
<v Speaker 1>that the twentieth century started? What was What's your answer?
<v Speaker 1>January first, nineteen oh one. Yeah, that's correct. Everyone wrote
<v Speaker 1>nineteen hundred. Why is it nineteen oh one? Because when
<v Speaker 1>the year two thousand started, we said we're in the
<v Speaker 1>new millennium.
<v Speaker 4>Because I think when you start counting numbers, you don't
<v Speaker 4>start at zero. If I said, you count to ten.
<v Speaker 1>So the year two thousand wasn't it's still the twentieth
<v Speaker 1>century then yeah, I mean I think this is where
<v Speaker 1>you get kind of banantic. Yeah, because everyone bet all
<v Speaker 1>their money, so no one had any money left at
<v Speaker 1>the end of the night, all right, yeah, even not
<v Speaker 1>the champion. He was like, you had nine thousand and
<v Speaker 1>five hundred dollars. You gambled at all? Would I would
<v Speaker 1>have beat the house out of that? Yeah, but yeah,
<v Speaker 1>it's it's it sounds weird. I mean people the crab
<v Speaker 1>were feurist too, because he's just like, well, thanks for
<v Speaker 1>watching someone. The guy in the crowds like, what's the ancident?
<v Speaker 1>It was like, yeah, yeah, what's the ear is? It's like,
<v Speaker 1>don't sell me. I'm picturing those angry New Yorker's in spier. Man,
<v Speaker 1>you messed with one of us, He messed with all.
<v Speaker 1>They weren't happy and everyone's because when they go the
<v Speaker 1>first guy goes nineteen hundred, and that is incredib whole
<v Speaker 1>grade goes Wait what now, I don't know what to think. Yeah, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>I just but as you said, when we get to
<v Speaker 1>thee two thousand and said we're entering the new millennium
<v Speaker 1>on the year two thousand, which was the two thousand
<v Speaker 1>January first. So how could generally does it make sense?
<v Speaker 1>I know what you mean. Is it a technicality thing
<v Speaker 1>because we all said we're entering the new millennium at
<v Speaker 1>the year two thousand.
<v Speaker 4>I think it's one of those it's almost like a
<v Speaker 4>print legend thing where.
<v Speaker 1>These people lost money. Yeah, I'm sorry, no, no, no, no, no,
<v Speaker 1>that's for the two thousand things.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think it's very much. Well, it's a nice
<v Speaker 4>round way to sort of like start over. Yeahinetek ninety nine.
<v Speaker 1>Fields, what did you feel like we're entering the new millennium?
<v Speaker 1>So I certainly did so. If a movie is made
<v Speaker 1>in the year two thousand, is it a twentieth century film? No,
<v Speaker 1>I would refer to as a twenty first century film.
<v Speaker 1>But it's not, though. Yeah, that's just ridiculous. I know, right,
<v Speaker 1>that's so stupid.
<v Speaker 2>It is.
<v Speaker 4>It's just one of those sort of lies that we
<v Speaker 4>universally agree upon. Well not even a lie, but just
<v Speaker 4>it's very much we're actually, you know, the twenty fifth century.
<v Speaker 4>Sts Like I said before, it's like when you're still counting,
<v Speaker 4>you don't count.
<v Speaker 1>It, you just watch it's worth. It's always like autro
<v Speaker 1>back when he's calling them out for it's like, oh God,
<v Speaker 1>one way is ain't gonna be doing? That's the Jeopardy music. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>I've never really got into Jeopardy. I'n gole Darren like Doug,
<v Speaker 1>he he's always loved it. Whenever you go to Darren's place,
<v Speaker 1>he Doug was always watching it, but I never I
<v Speaker 1>think I quite got it. Did we do a local
<v Speaker 1>version of it? We did local? Yeah, because we've done
<v Speaker 1>We've a low get this where a fortune? Yeah? I know.
<v Speaker 1>I saw it on templane. I was like, oh, we'll
<v Speaker 1>fortune straight up. But I'm like, oh, Graham Norton's hosting.
<v Speaker 1>How's he still doing his show? It doesn't make sense. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>it's hosted by Graham Norton from the UK. It's filmed
<v Speaker 1>in the UK, but as branded as a strike funk off,
<v Speaker 1>but it's got Australian expats on it. It is the
<v Speaker 1>and it is so bad? Is it so?
<v Speaker 2>Now? It is?
<v Speaker 1>Every time they spin the wheel and because we watched
<v Speaker 1>the American wheel fortune occasional Nick or night and they
<v Speaker 1>offer one hundred thousand dollars every time for a cash prize.
<v Speaker 1>Every price posy you win in like five ten grand.
<v Speaker 1>Like people leave of like five ten grand is a minimum, right,
<v Speaker 1>Some people live like thirty forty fifty, one hundred plus
<v Speaker 1>it's like one hundred dollars, one hundred and twenty dollars,
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and three the jackpot. The jackpot is five
<v Speaker 1>hundred in the States, it's five thousand. I spent that
<v Speaker 1>much to get here. Yeah, And but every time the
<v Speaker 1>wheel goes around before I get ss, the end of
<v Speaker 1>the crowd goes oh. And it's like that got old
<v Speaker 1>after the second spin. Oh dear, it's so bad. It's
<v Speaker 1>once a week, goes for an hour and never watch it.
<v Speaker 4>I'm trying to Yeah, I don't recall if Australia ever
<v Speaker 4>did its own version of Jeopardy one. Now we've borrowed
<v Speaker 4>a whole bunch of formats from all over the world.
<v Speaker 1>You nice is right, absolute banger, absolut Arry mda mate.
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, that guy. I don't know if we're doing
<v Speaker 1>what a lord this episode, but a lord, let's do it?
<v Speaker 1>What not, Larry, he's got a logo this year, finally, finally,
<v Speaker 1>last year whatever, I think it was this year. But yeah,
<v Speaker 1>so we did prices, right, we did a fortune, obviously
<v Speaker 1>we did. What else did we do? Phrase I believe
<v Speaker 1>was maybe a UK show to catch Hollywood squares, but
<v Speaker 1>we called it something different, Celebrity Squares. Yeah, blanks like blanks.
<v Speaker 1>Was that an American show? I believe so might have been.
<v Speaker 1>It was because they'd make a joking Will and Grace
<v Speaker 1>once you're mocking blankety blanks. Yeah, yeah, Greg Kennedy, what
<v Speaker 1>a lord? That guy's a lot. Anyway, let's get into
<v Speaker 1>the roof, shall we.
<v Speaker 4>Stop loading it up? And yeah, talking about the well
<v Speaker 4>we're talking about this in the first place.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, that's right. So the chopboall gag is Rudolf. Rudolph's
<v Speaker 1>red nose is not alcohol related, and the couch gag
<v Speaker 1>is the Simpsons shake up a snow globe which contains
<v Speaker 1>the Simpsons sitting on the couch. And then first and
<v Speaker 1>second I'm not sure what that's referring to. First, maybe
<v Speaker 1>it's the first time and the second time the Simpsons
<v Speaker 1>run to the living room only to notice that everything
<v Speaker 1>has been stolen, which includes their couch. Maybe the second
<v Speaker 1>time they aired it. This one, he had the snow globe, right,
<v Speaker 1>I believe so? Yeah, which is I guess it makes
<v Speaker 1>sense if you've seen the episode's got no catch anymore? Yeah, yeah, Anyway,

<v Speaker 1>family of the family, just the parents driving to the supermarket. Oh,
<v Speaker 1>like I said, the apartment store. I should say, is
<v Speaker 1>it the Try and say what was it? Try and say,
<v Speaker 1>Try and say what's Try and say You have little
<v Speaker 1>reference to March being not proud. The heater in the
<v Speaker 1>car is not working. He always leaves the Christmas shopping
<v Speaker 1>to Christmas Eve because he craves the hustle and bustle
<v Speaker 1>we all do until we don't until we get there.
<v Speaker 4>How many times have we said recently in the lead
<v Speaker 4>up to Christmas, like, I mean, I'd sent you that
<v Speaker 4>yeah video the other day, that sort of synthwave soundtrake
<v Speaker 4>of just more footage from the early nineteen nineteen and
<v Speaker 4>we're like, oh, people interacting with down, isn't it gordous?
<v Speaker 4>Not long after I did that, I went to the supermarkets, like,
<v Speaker 4>this car park's too fucking full, all.
<v Speaker 1>These people, everything's crammed in there. That car of the coals, Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>worst car park design in the history of car parks.
<v Speaker 1>We've always said, kind of been getting two cars, can't
<v Speaker 1>get in and out at the same time.
<v Speaker 4>That true, Yeah, look pros pros of that coals, pale
<v Speaker 4>guy of coal, the car, everything else prices to mention,
<v Speaker 4>these coal still has ship on the shelves. Were we
<v Speaker 4>just being grouches and talking? Were we recently talking about
<v Speaker 4>it going to walls and Soviet Russia or something?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? Terrible? Yeah, not good, but they have it parks
<v Speaker 1>across the three handicaped spaces, and he says Sandy's got
<v Speaker 1>a little trick of his sleeve. And as he takes
<v Speaker 1>the control of Registered nine, everyone comes through because it's
<v Speaker 1>all busy, and he just takes everyone stuff. But at
<v Speaker 1>least he puts money in the cash. He doesn't steal it,
<v Speaker 1>he pays for it. He screws over the customers, but
<v Speaker 1>at least he paid for the stuff. Well, imagine if
<v Speaker 1>Arland was there and he had he actually got his
<v Speaker 1>turboe man, furious, furious. I saw a clip on social
<v Speaker 1>media this week. I need to re watch Kindergarten Cop
<v Speaker 1>because I forgot about the scene where Arnold beats up
<v Speaker 1>the abusive father. That's right, what a lord. And the
<v Speaker 1>best part was the principals was like to hit the
<v Speaker 1>son of a bitch and you're like, nice work, Detective
<v Speaker 1>John Kimball or whatever his name is. Yeah, good movie boys,
<v Speaker 1>Penis girls have vaginas, that's anything that's that kid got canceled.
<v Speaker 6>He really.
<v Speaker 1>That's not inclusive, but it's now been disneyflis the warning
<v Speaker 1>at the.
<v Speaker 4>Start warning Arnold smokes cigar and some kid, I don't
<v Speaker 4>know what to say about it has thoughts about gender expresses,
<v Speaker 4>gender opinions.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, so the kids are now watching a fireplace on
<v Speaker 1>the TV in front of the actual fireplace. It's just
<v Speaker 1>I thought they captured this Christmas eve vibe here. It's
<v Speaker 1>like Mum's making some cookies, so she's made Christmas tree
<v Speaker 1>for the girls, bloody spear heads for Bard. The kids
<v Speaker 1>are excited it's Christmas time. Why the presents are already
<v Speaker 1>out is beyond me. I know my cousins used to
<v Speaker 1>do this. They have They put the presents out three
<v Speaker 1>weeks before Christmas and they're sitting there and I'm like,
<v Speaker 1>Santa's supposed to bring them, okay, building anticipation. Apparently they
<v Speaker 1>go these times from Rom and Dad and then a
<v Speaker 1>few extras from Santa would arrive on Christmas. You've got
<v Speaker 1>to be You've got to be on your game when
<v Speaker 1>it comes to that kind of thing. I think as
<v Speaker 1>a kid, I preferred the idea of there's nothing there
<v Speaker 1>when you wake up, it's.
<v Speaker 7>Like whow where this is all going wrong?
<v Speaker 2>I know.
<v Speaker 1>I was like the idea of like it's a preview
<v Speaker 1>of coming attraction, Like holy shitt, look at all this stuff.
<v Speaker 1>I'm the talking shit. You do do do do do do.
<v Speaker 1>But there's a nice animation here just holding up the
<v Speaker 1>cookie of the tree brings it down. And this here,
<v Speaker 1>I never realized this watching it. Time's past mentioned how
<v Speaker 1>the previous tree was aluminium, aluminum for the people in
<v Speaker 1>the States, but now they've got a plastic one. To explain,
<v Speaker 1>white just melts. It's a set fire to the house.
<v Speaker 1>Why didn't set fire to the car? But because Nicholas like, why,
<v Speaker 1>I've been in the house, and I was like, you
<v Speaker 1>get a point, just sort of melted like the Wicked Witch.
<v Speaker 1>But yes, it's now plastic. And they hear the sounds outside.
<v Speaker 1>Could it be? I thought, such innocent childlike, what would
<v Speaker 1>you call wholesomeness? But no, it's Homer putting lights upon
<v Speaker 1>the house. The one thing I will say about this,
<v Speaker 1>you know shows in the lights, it's craptacular. Well, one
<v Speaker 1>takeaway was what I mean, So how mus putting lights
<v Speaker 1>up on Christmas even at night? What's the point?
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, And as soon as we've done recording today, once
<v Speaker 4>I've taken care of other business, I'll be getting out
<v Speaker 4>with my little step ladder and my hammer and my
<v Speaker 4>thing of nails and putting up a little thing.
<v Speaker 1>It's a little string of lights, sour solar powered Christmas lights.
<v Speaker 1>Oh a nice one, I really do. I rarely do that,
<v Speaker 1>but I don't know. I'm feeling.
<v Speaker 4>I feel like it's my off on you. It is,
<v Speaker 4>so stop rubbing off because you're just like, bah, that's
<v Speaker 4>an hr issue. You're rubbing off of me. No, but
<v Speaker 4>it's true you are.
<v Speaker 1>You're very Christmasy, and yeah, I get the feeling. I've
<v Speaker 1>got no Christmas lights, so I keep saying I'm going
<v Speaker 1>to but okay, do you toashing them to bricks? And
<v Speaker 1>then it's like taking them down again? And I wouldn'tight
<v Speaker 1>happen to just g I'm rubbing off on you inflatorable
<v Speaker 1>stuff at the front where you can sort of have
<v Speaker 1>stuff into the ground, but playing it to the house
<v Speaker 1>it's like, oh, this requires it. I know the kids
<v Speaker 1>would love it. So I feel like I'm going to
<v Speaker 1>do it. I feel like we're going the way to Melbourn.
<v Speaker 1>We're going to way to melb We're going to Melbourne
<v Speaker 1>this weekend to watch actually Home Alone with the orchestra,
<v Speaker 1>and the kids are coming with us because Alie came
<v Speaker 1>with me to see my Christmas car a couple of
<v Speaker 1>years ago, and the kids both love homolone. It's the
<v Speaker 1>home alone one. I always prefer ham Alone two, but
<v Speaker 1>we go to hamelone one with the orchestra. Should be
<v Speaker 1>great hereing that score. And it's the first time the
<v Speaker 1>kids have ever stayed at a hotel, so they're really
<v Speaker 1>excited to stay at a hotel. How get on some
<v Speaker 1>room service. Yes, we're going to Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>August pocus mucus pugas. My powers of deduction tell me
<v Speaker 2>you're getting a handmade sweater, possibly yellow. Mom, Magan stuff.
<v Speaker 7>Bart put down that yellow sweater. Nobody's going near their
<v Speaker 7>presence until seven o'clock tomorrow morning, seven am, no earlier.
<v Speaker 7>And you can't set your alarm clocks because I got
<v Speaker 7>them for once. We're going to celebrate Christmas as a family.
<v Speaker 1>Hello, anybody, bar is now drinking twelve glasses of water
<v Speaker 1>because he wants to stay. Wants them to wake him
<v Speaker 1>up to go to the toilet so he can get
<v Speaker 1>up early. Lisa mentions the Indians. Yeah, native American. That's
<v Speaker 1>went now Referrington. But back in first people's yes seven,
<v Speaker 1>they were still referred to as Indians, including the baseball team,
<v Speaker 1>which are now no longer there. The other Redskins weren't
<v Speaker 1>they I believe? So, yes, what are they now?
<v Speaker 2>What are the.
<v Speaker 1>Redskins changed to? Were the Chiefs? The Washington name? Washington
<v Speaker 1>Reskins became the Washington Commanders. Okay, Washington Redskins. Our football
<v Speaker 1>team changes into the Washington Commanders. What about the Cleveland Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>Cleveland Redskins with cheap Whoo literally his name chief a
<v Speaker 1>Chief Wahoo. What's his name? I believe? So the Cleveland
<v Speaker 1>team is now the Cleveland Guardians. Good times there with
<v Speaker 1>the going through the Galaxy films takes some money out
<v Speaker 1>of that, so then we get a really cool dream sinking.
<v Speaker 1>So don't we hear we do? Yeah? Just the various.
<v Speaker 1>I think it's another one of those moments where I
<v Speaker 1>didn't quite get it as a little kid, and as
<v Speaker 1>a g I was like, oh's you got the hose
<v Speaker 1>that the outpham with the trunk, the fireman with the
<v Speaker 1>hose and go go go PPP wakes up and I
<v Speaker 1>love this. How good is it when you know you
<v Speaker 1>have to get up for something and he set the
<v Speaker 1>alarm and he's still have that element of oh god,
<v Speaker 1>I hope I still wake up. And you wake up
<v Speaker 1>and it's like, oh, I've done it. I've gone up
<v Speaker 1>in time. All This morning actually worked for me. It
<v Speaker 1>was relatable because my alarm was set for seven thirty
<v Speaker 1>to get out of bed because the kids like having breakfast.
<v Speaker 1>I got baken from went back to bed, and I
<v Speaker 1>was like all right, and seven thirty alarm went off
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, oh, just no ten minutes and
<v Speaker 1>then I wake up and it was like quarter to eight.
<v Speaker 1>I can't work up. I was like, oh fuck, go
<v Speaker 1>fall asleep and learn court date. And I was like, okay,
<v Speaker 1>it's okay, it's okay. Yeah, but wait, I do like
<v Speaker 1>waking up if I've had a good night's sleep, waking
<v Speaker 1>up early, hearing like the magpies outside seeing the sun.
<v Speaker 1>It's awesome. Oh yeah, I'm trying to do it more
<v Speaker 1>and more.
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I'm sending my alarm for six fifteen these days,
<v Speaker 4>and I was up at about six fifteen this so it's.
<v Speaker 1>Great, especially when it's coming to summer. It's warm already. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>the world's nice and quiet. That many cars out in there.
<v Speaker 1>It gets like eight thirty nine am. And that Church
<v Speaker 1>Street near where you live is heck, dick, sure is yeah?
<v Speaker 1>Not good at all? Yes, So Marge so yeah, So
<v Speaker 1>he goes downstairs, but goes downstairs and he opens up
<v Speaker 1>the letter from Aunt Salomon, got some cash there. Then
<v Speaker 1>he finds the letter from Santa and that's exactly what
<v Speaker 1>he's looking for. The lead of the present sorry, and
<v Speaker 1>it's the inferno Buster three thousand. I love toy toy
<v Speaker 1>names buster and he I knew Sander wouldn't have time
<v Speaker 1>to check that list twice as a good line, and
<v Speaker 1>he plays with the toy, accidentally starts the fire by
<v Speaker 1>squirting the water onto the powerpoints, cause it to all
<v Speaker 1>mauled down very over loud loaded the PowerPoint one. Yes
<v Speaker 1>it was indeed, yeah, classic Simpsons and melts down the tree.
<v Speaker 1>March think she heard a noise, but the snores she
<v Speaker 1>quiet this noise listen, n at off and Bart buries
<v Speaker 1>it outside. This reminded me. Have you had a moment
<v Speaker 1>where you've you're trying to hide something before anyone else
<v Speaker 1>finds it? So for me, though, this reminds literally honestly
<v Speaker 1>reminded me of when I was a closer to wet
<v Speaker 1>the bed till I was like twelve, right, I remember
<v Speaker 1>staying at my NaN's place. I slept on the couch
<v Speaker 1>and I wet the beaver on her couch. I spent
<v Speaker 1>like all mourning trying to like clean it and scrub it.
<v Speaker 1>And she's like, what are you doing? Like I was
<v Speaker 1>like so sad. She's like, you could have just told me,
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, oh, no, it doesn't.
<v Speaker 4>I'm sure I have more incidents like that in my past,
<v Speaker 4>and I can recall right now. But the body is
<v Speaker 4>the one that springs to minds.
<v Speaker 7>What where's Christmas? Yes, sir, where's Christmas?
<v Speaker 2>Bike? What were you doing outside? I don't know how
<v Speaker 2>to tell you this, but I came down a little early,
<v Speaker 2>and well I saw a burglar and he was he
<v Speaker 2>including the drink?
<v Speaker 7>How could somebody?
<v Speaker 3>I know, we skip church.
<v Speaker 1>I've always loved Homers. Where's Christmas? Who designed his house?
<v Speaker 1>Where's Christmas? With the hose? Who designed this house? But yeah,
<v Speaker 1>so just the clearly Bart was going to tell them
<v Speaker 1>sesel looks on their faces can't break their hearts. And
<v Speaker 1>so he says that he saw the burglar. So then
<v Speaker 1>we have the police taking all the details and the
<v Speaker 1>glass eye, wooden legs, scar on his cheek, anything unusual
<v Speaker 1>looks for hands? Yeah, the convict shired on a sack
<v Speaker 1>of the Dollar's ligne classic burglar and Lou knows are
<v Speaker 1>never going to catch his guy is the joke kid
<v Speaker 1>that Lou knows he's lying because he goes, we'll catch
<v Speaker 1>him and he goes cheef. So is it that he's
<v Speaker 1>saying clearly he's making it up, or is it that
<v Speaker 1>he's so your typical burglar that would now have no
<v Speaker 1>chance of catching them? It could go either way. Could Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>the first one makes what makes more sense for the
<v Speaker 1>episode that he doesn't know that he's lying, because why
<v Speaker 1>else would they be donating money? Yeah, good point, but yeah,
<v Speaker 1>that makes sense. But he says, all right, kids will
<v Speaker 1>no easy way to say this. God hates us and
<v Speaker 1>says I'm forgetting the true meaning here the birth of
<v Speaker 1>Santa and it's not about material things. List suggest we
<v Speaker 1>should go walk down to the old folks home. As
<v Speaker 1>they walk past the Flanders house, and he's got a
<v Speaker 1>unicycle and the kids of a pony. They pretend to
<v Speaker 1>have new cross cross country skis right, which from the
<v Speaker 1>first shot works because they're hut behind behind like a snowpile.
<v Speaker 1>But when the Flanners are looking at through the window,
<v Speaker 1>there's no snowpile in front of them. You just see
<v Speaker 1>their feet, like, is that an anime error? Yeah, it's bizarre.
<v Speaker 1>That feels like a did you see their feet and
<v Speaker 1>it's like it feels like a glitch. Yeah, it's odd.
<v Speaker 1>The Hibbits now have snowmobiles. Not as fun as it looks.
<v Speaker 1>Nothing could be as fun as that looks. This was
<v Speaker 1>also awesome. So Mealhouse has the tickle to be crusty.
<v Speaker 1>Don't put your finger in the whatever, you can get
<v Speaker 1>your finger out of there. But the snowball hitting it,
<v Speaker 1>and it's Homer's fun. The old folks, though, unfortunately for
<v Speaker 1>the Simpsons, are all happy because the pharmaceutical man rocked
<v Speaker 1>up and he shot him full of Christmas cheer. That's right.
<v Speaker 1>He can't feel anything below his neck or something. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>Now apparently they're all dancing here the same way as
<v Speaker 1>we just did. Treut four nineteen say as Peanuts, Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>the Peanuts Christmas Special. Yeah. Great, Homer is now at Moe's.
<v Speaker 1>He's all drunk and sad on Christmas Day.
<v Speaker 7>This seems Yeah, sounds like you're having a rough Christmas
<v Speaker 7>hammer you know what. I blame that trying to breakdown
<v Speaker 7>of society.
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, you're right, Mo, You're o Mo, harm Lock. Your
<v Speaker 5>house is on too bad? Hey, you take that back, Barney,
<v Speaker 5>nice ride, stay honest, old man.
<v Speaker 6>Dateline, Kent Brockman. I'm here at the scene of the
<v Speaker 6>Christmas burglary where the creature was stirring last night, and
<v Speaker 6>what he was stirring was up trouble. Is your husband
<v Speaker 6>or lover here, ma'am?
<v Speaker 2>No, my husband is at church.
<v Speaker 5>That's my girl. I love you, Marcherie.
<v Speaker 7>Yes, he's quite a gap.
<v Speaker 5>Eh, shut up.
<v Speaker 6>So when you realized Christmas was ruined? How did you feel?
<v Speaker 7>How do you think?
<v Speaker 6>I felt absolutely devastated, absolutely devastated, the words of a
<v Speaker 6>heartbroken mother. For there will be no fire truck for
<v Speaker 6>a little bart, no sweater for little Lisa, no Cajun
<v Speaker 6>sausage for a little Homer. oOoOO. So, while you're home
<v Speaker 6>today eating your sweet, sweet holiday turkey, I hope you'll
<v Speaker 6>all choke just a little little bit.
<v Speaker 1>What you thought on Brocken asking, hoping everyone chokes just
<v Speaker 1>a little bit. You need a little litorializing something. The dramatics. Yes,
<v Speaker 1>Bhoma gets home and looks down in these dormat is like, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>season greenings, whatever walks and everyone's donated all their money
<v Speaker 1>because of the new story they've seen, including Moe and
<v Speaker 1>Barney probably beat him a home. This is another are
<v Speaker 1>they feet or are they Skis Burns is asked for
<v Speaker 1>change for a button. I know this was a take
<v Speaker 1>off of from the film with the Piano right now,
<v Speaker 1>young at List, but I thought the young at least
<v Speaker 1>in the moment. I've never really liked it. I get it,
<v Speaker 1>but it just makes how it come across like a
<v Speaker 1>real prick.
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, particularly at this moment when you know everything's
<v Speaker 4>going their way.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, just yeah, I don't know, it just seems odd.
<v Speaker 1>But if Flannders gives the top of his tree patches
<v Speaker 1>and poor Violet give that the dollar has been saving up,
<v Speaker 1>gives a tip jar from the bar, they're fifteen k
<v Speaker 1>This is where you're talking about Rusty fifteen thousand mazillions,
<v Speaker 1>Holy shmoli whatever? What do you do? Like blinking? And
<v Speaker 1>then this is probably my favorite moment the whole scene though,
<v Speaker 1>where they asked what you're going to do with it?
<v Speaker 1>And then missus k is like, just go wild with it,
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, I love missus k. Oh yeah, just
<v Speaker 1>giving that license that does go for it. Just just
<v Speaker 1>don't enjoy yourself. You don't you agree? Similar yes, something
<v Speaker 1>wild and little poor violence says I'd kiss you, but Simpson,
<v Speaker 1>but the doctor says, I'm sick, and I'm like, oh man.
<v Speaker 1>They've got a cliffs car is Chalet, Chalet Chalet, and
<v Speaker 1>the car is now fifteen k instead of twelve K.
<v Speaker 1>And he throws in the undercoading for two hundred but
<v Speaker 1>just maybe should give this money to charitably, starting to
<v Speaker 1>feel guilty, and the guy jabs him with the pen.
<v Speaker 1>They're singing in their new car, singing the song, actually
<v Speaker 1>having a great time, and then he overtakes the plower,
<v Speaker 1>king like when they've pated a little. In universe things
<v Speaker 1>that consuity, it's CEEU Simpsons cinematic universe. Yeah, it will
<v Speaker 1>be cinematic universe. Would it be s tu stew would say,
<v Speaker 1>television universe? What would you call? Because the television cinematic
<v Speaker 1>sounds so much cool and television does. It's a cinematic
<v Speaker 1>equivalent for TV television just television talamannic cinematic Simpsons Extended Universe,
<v Speaker 1>Extend Universe, su CEU it Simpsons Extended Springfield, Springfield, Springfield,
<v Speaker 1>Ye same letters, do same acronym. Yeah, let's go for it,
<v Speaker 1>all right, we could just coined a phrase. But he
<v Speaker 1>overtakes and loses control of the car. Everyone's given their
<v Speaker 1>own opinion. I hate people trying to tell me how
<v Speaker 1>to drive when I'm driving. Is there anything more infuriaty?
<v Speaker 1>There's many things more furiator But if you're driving, someone's like,
<v Speaker 1>you know, we can go this way, or you slow
<v Speaker 1>down or whatever, it's like getting told to slow down
<v Speaker 1>is like shut up.
<v Speaker 4>Lovely the ways, God bless her. She's very circumspect when
<v Speaker 4>it comes to not well, of course, no one should
<v Speaker 4>run red lights. But she gets very cautious when it
<v Speaker 4>comes to like, oh I'm not running that yellow light.
<v Speaker 1>I won't running yellow. I judge my hand if it's
<v Speaker 1>if it's red, after I'm in the intersection, I'm fine.
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, oh that's there. That's if you're
<v Speaker 1>in the intersection before it goes read, you're fine. Absolutely yeah.
<v Speaker 4>But she did it once, she sort of we were
<v Speaker 4>closely in the sections, gone hard and hard, she went,
<v Speaker 4>she went through, and then she looked, you're proud about
<v Speaker 4>I said you better.
<v Speaker 1>I actually was never even more turned on Benby because
<v Speaker 1>I used to be I used to be sort of
<v Speaker 1>it was yellow. I'd slow down, think of the kid
<v Speaker 1>in the back, and Nicholas like, you do't have to
<v Speaker 1>slow down. I'm like fine, And now Nicholas rubbed off
<v Speaker 1>of me. That's saying that they rubbed off on rubbing off.
<v Speaker 1>But over the first time I did it was the
<v Speaker 1>same thing. She was like, I can't belief you did that.
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, yeah, that's right. You feel like a
<v Speaker 1>big man. But they wake up and they see Bartsch
<v Speaker 1>just sitting down in the in the crime scene acting
<v Speaker 1>here from Nancy, where it's the emotional of I don't
<v Speaker 1>want to have to say this, but I know I'm
<v Speaker 1>going to have to. It's just the animation is great.
<v Speaker 1>He's just he's broken inside. He comes clean, Lisa chokes him, No, listen,
<v Speaker 1>your hands are too weak. Then Brockman is outside sees
<v Speaker 1>the family were choking each other, and they realized, all right,
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna have to go along with this because we've
<v Speaker 1>essentially stolen money from people.
<v Speaker 6>Ken Brockman here for a follow up with Springfield's favorite
<v Speaker 6>hard luck family, The Simpsons evokes any Words for the
<v Speaker 6>Christmas thief if he's watching.
<v Speaker 5>Yes, Kent, hello jerk. We may never find you, and
<v Speaker 5>we should probably all stop looking, but one thing's for sure.
<v Speaker 5>You do exist.
<v Speaker 6>Strong words, strong bewildering words.
<v Speaker 7>Also, we want to thank the whole town for their generosity.
<v Speaker 6>He look, it's little parts fire truck, little Lace's sweater,
<v Speaker 6>little Homer sausage. One of the name of Holy Hell
<v Speaker 6>is going on here.
<v Speaker 5>Oh it's true. We weren't robbed. That part we made up,
<v Speaker 5>but the rest is true.
<v Speaker 2>Wait, he's just covering for me. I destroyed the presence,
<v Speaker 2>then I buried the evidence when I acted alone.
<v Speaker 6>So the family never knew about any of this.
<v Speaker 5>Well, the boy told us, but that was after we
<v Speaker 5>filed the phony police report.
<v Speaker 2>And after we spent all the times people's money.
<v Speaker 7>So you can see why my husband had to wai
<v Speaker 7>to you a moment ago. So this was all a scam.
<v Speaker 3>And on Christmas, yeah, Jesus must be spreading at his grave.
<v Speaker 1>We gave them more vitamin money.
<v Speaker 6>Hey, hey, shure your lousy free laders come back when
<v Speaker 6>it gets on parents.
<v Speaker 1>It's the old Jewish guy working in the Springfield TV store.
<v Speaker 1>But it's not the ol Jewish guy voice it's just
<v Speaker 1>Dan castling at his voice. I could take any of
<v Speaker 1>them away from the Golden Year. It would be that
<v Speaker 1>excised that the episode would not suffer that seemed being
<v Speaker 1>out stringing from the record. Now, I've seen some pretty
<v Speaker 1>shabby things in my career. This futured fraud out stinks
<v Speaker 1>them all and thanks them for the story. Now the anger,
<v Speaker 1>We get the newspaper and angry mub mobles options and
<v Speaker 1>they're throwing vegetables at the house, running out of tomatoes, pumpkins,
<v Speaker 1>and then Homers says, maybe it all blow over. Then

<v Speaker 1>is all still Christmas Day apparently, because is it? Because
<v Speaker 1>everyone's in Krusty Burger, right, And then as they're walking out,
<v Speaker 1>fans goes, well, there's Christmas dinner ruined. I'm like, first
<v Speaker 1>of all, why is everyone in Krusty Burger for Christmas dinner?
<v Speaker 1>Second all, I'm sure there's been more than a day,
<v Speaker 1>because I think so. It has to have been because home,
<v Speaker 1>we got home at night a more skewy. It was bizarre.
<v Speaker 1>But everyone's around me in crusty. But they all leave
<v Speaker 1>and we can get used to being shunned. Then the
<v Speaker 1>workers are spitting in the burgers. That's one thing I've
<v Speaker 1>always just feared is just kids making my burger man.
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, there's nothing preventing them.
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I'm I'm always nice to service staff, yeah way,
<v Speaker 4>but we're not talking to the people making the burgers though.
<v Speaker 4>Oh but even when like the driver or something like,
<v Speaker 4>you're always like oh yeah, I mean you never like yeah,
<v Speaker 4>how a with.
<v Speaker 1>That shit threw of a button on the register. It's
<v Speaker 1>just like spit burger would spit make it a special Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>make it a double devil. Yeah. But March where they're
<v Speaker 1>going through all the letters though. First of all, so
<v Speaker 1>Lisa Missiuva refuses to teach Lisa and rough cause her
<v Speaker 1>a line makes a turn a desk around, nobody believes
<v Speaker 1>Homer at the power plant when there's a meltdown happening.
<v Speaker 1>Marge's now reading through all the various letters from was
<v Speaker 1>it you're blinking and blinking whatever? Limo great, Now we
<v Speaker 1>got to send him a note. Then Marge comes up
<v Speaker 1>with the idea, because is going to get all their
<v Speaker 1>money back. She's going to go on Jeopardy. I've always
<v Speaker 1>loved the deliverable delivery of she ain't getting a hold
<v Speaker 1>bullsh It's gonna be one of my triber quessions. How
<v Speaker 1>much were they down? Or fifty four hundred? I think
<v Speaker 1>it's fifty two hundred, two hundred, Ok, fifty something hundred.
<v Speaker 1>They get home, though, and they see the angry mob
<v Speaker 1>are there again, but they're forgiving them. Oh they've forgiven us.
<v Speaker 1>And March's about to go into the whole. How great
<v Speaker 1>are people at Christmas time? We get into the Oh
<v Speaker 1>wait a minute, they take the last stuff, so Krusty's
<v Speaker 1>gone to the medicine cabinet. I've already been there. Otto
<v Speaker 1>turns around, Wiggams got one of the stuff toys. He's
<v Speaker 1>got is Binky, Yes, some life and hell the Matt
<v Speaker 1>Greendon cartoon. Pooh's taking some of the pets. I think
<v Speaker 1>Skinner maybe taking some of the pets as well. The
<v Speaker 1>fish take. Flanders is taking back his own barbecue, which
<v Speaker 1>is a nice little continuity there. Everyone sits down in
<v Speaker 1>the middle. They're all sad. March, you know, having nothing
<v Speaker 1>reminds us of how lucky we are. We would have
<v Speaker 1>had stuff. We've had each other anyway, and some cool
<v Speaker 1>our stuff obviously. Well they're taking everything except for this washcloth,
<v Speaker 1>and I thought, just March, that's my wahcloth and running
<v Speaker 1>off with it. It was just a really nice ending,
<v Speaker 1>As you said, the song Sanded on his Way was
<v Speaker 1>just a perfect son to capture the moment.
<v Speaker 4>It just well unexpected and you know, not your traditional
<v Speaker 4>yeah sort of twinkle twinkle the Christmas song. We just
<v Speaker 4>had a nice little bit of swing to it.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I think I feel like a Christmas episode has
<v Speaker 1>to have the wholesome ending, right Oh yeah, and this
<v Speaker 1>one does. Yeah. And it's going to have the wholesome
<v Speaker 1>stuff in it. But yes, it does the wholesome message
<v Speaker 1>as well. It does. What do we learn bomb? What'd
<v Speaker 1>you learn from the episode with the Davis.
<v Speaker 4>Always be nice to the kids A chusty berger. Yes,
<v Speaker 4>you get some unexpected extras.
<v Speaker 1>I learned never hide evidence in your front yard. Good
<v Speaker 1>points neighbors. Yeah, alright, So we posted in the Patriot
<v Speaker 1>asking for some mail bay questions for this episode. Rach Beasley,
<v Speaker 1>did you ever wake up early and try to peek
<v Speaker 1>at your presence as a kid? I sure did, I
<v Speaker 1>absolutely did. I have one in particular, I've told this
<v Speaker 1>story before, I'm sure of it, where I woke up
<v Speaker 1>and there was a post I've mentioned how you used
<v Speaker 1>to love the spict Girls when I was a kid.
<v Speaker 1>Right it was the nineties, right, who could blame me?
<v Speaker 1>And I remember there was this post. There was his
<v Speaker 1>post a store in Kria Village near where I live,
<v Speaker 1>and then just focused on Prince right, and there was
<v Speaker 1>this Spice Girls one in the in the window. I
<v Speaker 1>was like, oh, that looks I love that post. That's
<v Speaker 1>cool because just just like all kinds of Gingers blis
<v Speaker 1>on the front, right, I was like, I like that,
<v Speaker 1>and then I thought I might be get it for Christmas.
<v Speaker 1>And I went out there and I saw this frame.
<v Speaker 1>It was like cover by a blanket. I was like shit.
<v Speaker 1>I remember like going out and just like peeking under
<v Speaker 1>the under the blanket and seeing purple. And for some
<v Speaker 1>reason in my mind, I can't explain this, but I
<v Speaker 1>thought I saw it was like a purply background with
<v Speaker 1>the spics on it. I thought it was a poster
<v Speaker 1>of the Phantom. And I remember going back to bed
<v Speaker 1>lane bed for like half an hour before I got
<v Speaker 1>going give me a fan. I'm gonna to pretend I'm happy, right,
<v Speaker 1>I was like, whatever, I remember I left that to last,
<v Speaker 1>and I remember I'm thinking she said to me in
<v Speaker 1>the past, going I'm so surprised that you had left
<v Speaker 1>that one to last, because it was the biggest thing there.
<v Speaker 1>It was this big frame sitting against the thing. I
<v Speaker 1>remember going, oh, yeah, here we go. Put on the
<v Speaker 1>put on the happy face, pull the blanket off, and I'm.
<v Speaker 7>Like, oh ship the spice Girl's posted.
<v Speaker 1>It made it even better because I thought I wasn't
<v Speaker 1>getting it, and I was like, oh no, it is
<v Speaker 1>why I thought it was the Phantom. I still have
<v Speaker 1>no idea to this day, but I remember thinking that, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>anthem is very purple. Yeah, And to this day still
<v Speaker 1>I've left for that going don't peat next time.
<v Speaker 4>I think because I was the baby of the family
<v Speaker 4>and there was a lot of years between me and
<v Speaker 4>my sisters, I think it was pretty much I was
<v Speaker 4>given the green light on Christmas Day. It is like
<v Speaker 4>go wild, go I can. I don't think we ever
<v Speaker 4>had the kind of thing. Certainly when I was growing
<v Speaker 4>up that was like, okay, everybody, it's time to open
<v Speaker 4>our presence and love. But we've done that, and we've
<v Speaker 4>done that more recently. We do that every Christmas now.
<v Speaker 4>But certainly when I was a kid, I would wake
<v Speaker 4>up very early. I'd go down and I'd just get
<v Speaker 4>my ship and just well, Sugun Warriors and all this
<v Speaker 4>kind of business.
<v Speaker 1>He does who Bobby's I've hired a two needs to
<v Speaker 1>going down, FuG the Fellowship. There's the Lord of the
<v Speaker 1>Rings episode fantastic.
<v Speaker 4>We're not going to say the whole title too long,
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, no, I will very much get up early
<v Speaker 4>and just be a little speaking of a lot of
<v Speaker 4>the rings, be a little Smaug. Smaug is the demon
<v Speaker 4>from the.
<v Speaker 1>Hobbit, where he I've never seen a hobbit.
<v Speaker 4>He sort of lustily grabs all the gold for himself
<v Speaker 4>and just like, oh, look at all this gool that
<v Speaker 4>would be me.
<v Speaker 1>Be like, you know gold, I'm just like my precious presents.
<v Speaker 1>Next question, he comes from his first. I changed from
<v Speaker 1>popular comments to all comments, and the first one was
<v Speaker 1>from a man Andrew JP. Baby. Oh, thank goodness, the
<v Speaker 1>mail bag was too big without you. And he knows
<v Speaker 1>as well because I've already answered his question. He says,
<v Speaker 1>who's your favorite game show host? I guess we'll talk
<v Speaker 1>about game show but Larry and one for me can't
<v Speaker 1>go past Burgess though, right, Baby John? Baby John Graham
<v Speaker 1>Norton as a blanking to Blank's host Grant Kennedy is
<v Speaker 1>Grant Kennedy. Yes, Graham Norton is the host of the
<v Speaker 1>current terrible Wheel of Fortune. What a ship show that is.
<v Speaker 1>I have not watched it, but I saw the ad
<v Speaker 1>for it. I'm like, don't watch it. It is so bad.
<v Speaker 1>It sounds terrible. Oh, it's horrific, shocking, We're fortunate enthusiastic.
<v Speaker 1>I'm sort of showing my gen X roots here. But
<v Speaker 1>when I was growing up.
<v Speaker 4>Sale of the Century was very big on Channel, and
<v Speaker 4>Tony Barber was this. I think it's fair to say
<v Speaker 4>he's a little guy. I mean he's he was sort
<v Speaker 4>of compact kind of dude. He's the full of energy though.
<v Speaker 1>He was the nineteen eighties seventies equivalent of who's the
<v Speaker 1>dude that does family feudal Daniel?
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, grand Dander does a very good job. Look, I've
<v Speaker 4>got plenty of time for grand Dan.
<v Speaker 1>You Andrew o'keeith. Once upon a time, I said this.
<v Speaker 4>Recently when I was writing about TV full time, The
<v Speaker 4>two most charming people that I spoke to were Craig
<v Speaker 4>McGlaughlin and Andrew O'Keefe.
<v Speaker 1>Man, Andrew o'neith. He is not a good person. No, Now,
<v Speaker 1>that guy's just that guy is troubled and troubling McLoughlin. Likewise,
<v Speaker 1>it seems that they were. They were both the nicest dudes.
<v Speaker 1>Where it starts, first one's free, next one cash it
<v Speaker 1>that kind of thing.
<v Speaker 4>Anyway, But I like Tony. I liked Tony Barbara a lot.
<v Speaker 4>I thought he was great. Yeah, I've got a lot.
<v Speaker 1>Of type of Grand Dan. Yeah, that's a really it's
<v Speaker 1>a tougher job. Of course it is. And then it
<v Speaker 1>appears because Graham Norton, good talk show host, terrible game
<v Speaker 1>show host. It's two different things.
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if this was a game show, but
<v Speaker 4>look a shout out and rest in peace to our
<v Speaker 4>us friends might know this guy more than Australian guys.
<v Speaker 4>Chuck Roller, Chuck Woolery. He was the host of Love Connection,
<v Speaker 4>that show I mainly know big. There was a lot
<v Speaker 4>a rhyme in the Beastie Boys. Paul spic was I.
<v Speaker 1>Did Women on TV with the help of Chuck Wallery.
<v Speaker 1>I was like, who's Chuck Wallery?
<v Speaker 4>And then the little research and patter. He was the
<v Speaker 4>host of Love Connection passed away recently, Rip Chuck.
<v Speaker 1>I Love even had American as obviously with the shows
<v Speaker 1>where it was like the dating shows. Oh yeah it
<v Speaker 1>was it called blind Data or whatever. Yeah, we had
<v Speaker 1>Perfect Match. Yeah. But I saw a great clip it
<v Speaker 1>was on I think my Twitter or whatever of this
<v Speaker 1>cheat and it's like, so, what'd you like about as
<v Speaker 1>you goes you had a big dick. I was like,
<v Speaker 1>oh shit, man, all right, So next question here, Keith Nedham,
<v Speaker 1>how would you punish your child for lying as badly
<v Speaker 1>as Bart did, and having the whole town give you
<v Speaker 1>money and you spent it not knowing the truth. I
<v Speaker 1>feel like you'd be angry at the moment, but it's
<v Speaker 1>just kind of like, well, we have to stand together here. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>it's a tough one.
<v Speaker 4>You're torn between You're part of it, You're you're absolutely
<v Speaker 4>you're part of the grand deception. At the end of
<v Speaker 4>the day, it was an accident, it was okay. If
<v Speaker 4>it wasn't that snow, I mean, I think you've got
<v Speaker 4>to back up your kid. Absolutely, you've got to say, look,
<v Speaker 4>I stand by him regardless. Having said that, if it's
<v Speaker 4>not this scenario, if it's just the kid who's at fault,
<v Speaker 4>if say, like I burnt down the town Christmas tree,
<v Speaker 4>and well but then I said a Robert, Oh no,
<v Speaker 4>it was actually met It's like, okay, for like a
<v Speaker 4>certain amount of time, your mileage may bear out this.
<v Speaker 4>It could be one that could be six months, it
<v Speaker 4>could be a year. Your kid has to like do
<v Speaker 4>volunteer work like once a week at various places around town.
<v Speaker 4>Well so and So's hardware store was put a bit
<v Speaker 4>of a jewish in.
<v Speaker 1>Place straw at the hardware hardware soon sold.
<v Speaker 4>The hardware store was disadvantaged by this. You're gonna have
<v Speaker 4>to go work a couple of afternoons at their place
<v Speaker 4>free of charge. They've got to give something back to
<v Speaker 4>the community. And usually if they're a kid, it's not
<v Speaker 4>going to be in terms of money. It's probably going
<v Speaker 4>to be in terms of sweat sweat equity, as the
<v Speaker 4>grind set call it, and then make them do it,
<v Speaker 4>and then make them do it, and you know they'll
<v Speaker 4>learn a little something.
<v Speaker 1>Well. Indeed, David Mott says, you get to choose anywhere
<v Speaker 1>in the world to spend your Christmas Day with your family.
<v Speaker 1>Where are you going? Then there's going to the UK.
<v Speaker 1>Oh it's so cold my family right now, I would
<v Speaker 1>want to spend it at Universal Studios in Florida. Oh,
<v Speaker 1>that was such a fucking awesome day, I reckinon. The
<v Speaker 1>kids would have a blast. They would.
<v Speaker 4>I'm recalling a very nice Christmas that as long as
<v Speaker 4>it's Christmas with heat, because in the US is be cold,
<v Speaker 4>that's correct. Yeah, I'm recalling a very nice Christmas that
<v Speaker 4>I spent with my family when I was young. I
<v Speaker 4>would have been about ten years old. Listens to the show.
<v Speaker 4>I know that I spent nineteen seventy nine in England
<v Speaker 4>with my family and we were on our way back
<v Speaker 4>to Australia at the end of that year and we
<v Speaker 4>spent Christmas.
<v Speaker 1>In the Bahamas. That's cool.
<v Speaker 4>It was really nice Christmas in the new and New
<v Speaker 4>Year's Eve in the Bahamas. We had a Yeah, really nice.
<v Speaker 4>The details of were a little fuzzy because it was
<v Speaker 4>a long time ago now, but I remember the temperature
<v Speaker 4>was nice, the people were lovely.
<v Speaker 1>Will you know.
<v Speaker 4>There were people from all over the world who were
<v Speaker 4>all incredibly friendly. And yeah, it just struck me as
<v Speaker 4>a really great time to a really great way to
<v Speaker 4>spend Christmas.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, ten year old guy, how you wouldn't really drink
<v Speaker 1>any alcohol any kind? Would you want? Bobby how we
<v Speaker 1>when Bobby let went in alcohol wise about to say, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>there is the first on Bobby City. Have a beer. No, Well,
<v Speaker 1>Dad wasn't drinker at all.
<v Speaker 4>I mean he would have like a couple of glasses
<v Speaker 4>made on Christmas Day and that's pretty much it.
<v Speaker 1>No, he was never really a drinker. My dad really drank,
<v Speaker 1>but I remember being light ice, light ice, I know,
<v Speaker 1>like low alcohol. Yeah, my my brother in law, Ross
<v Speaker 1>did enjoy it. But yeah, yeah, I'm not. I'm not
<v Speaker 1>saying there's like you like a beer. I mean, but.
<v Speaker 4>If you know what I mean, please know that my
<v Speaker 4>Cohurst is making the drinking drink emotion. I think that's
<v Speaker 4>the second time in three podcasts and I've made that. Jay,
<v Speaker 4>you have a bit and you run it to run
<v Speaker 4>it into the ground. I make everybody hate me and
<v Speaker 4>then I start over. But I think Ross, when I
<v Speaker 4>was about fourteen, said you have some of this. I'm like,
<v Speaker 4>that's not better. I hated the taste of beer. But
<v Speaker 4>when I first going to parties, my well, everyone's drinking.
<v Speaker 1>I guess I have to drink it. I was drinking.
<v Speaker 1>Guess what beer I drank to? What do you think
<v Speaker 1>was obvious beer of choice? That and Ossie he would
<v Speaker 1>drink it was a VB ORVB.
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>Vv was very big when I was growing up as well.
<v Speaker 1>We had the best jingles. We've always said.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah see we both did it off the top of
<v Speaker 4>the head. Mike Salter, Lou's not really drinking as much as.
<v Speaker 1>You know what I mean, lose goalback. I will let
<v Speaker 1>you guys listens know that guys doing the drinking drinking motion.
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, joke's bag for on me.
<v Speaker 4>No, no, never hear you drinking. But you know she's
<v Speaker 4>not drinking much. But at the same time when we
<v Speaker 4>go out, it's been like, why ain't you drinking? So actually,
<v Speaker 4>you know, investing in a little loads alcohol free cocktails,
<v Speaker 4>you get him in the cans and his likes like
<v Speaker 4>it's alcohol free Mehito and alcohol free gene Tin.
<v Speaker 1>But what are the actual names for the brand that
<v Speaker 1>we're enjoying? Is called naked, but it's like it's it's
<v Speaker 1>a mocktail. Mocktail, yeah, fake cocktail. Yeah, actually pretty nice.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's kind of you know, you get people saying
<v Speaker 4>what you want the taste of alcohol and not the effects.
<v Speaker 1>To me, I'm just like you must. It's like going
<v Speaker 1>to macasine buying a salad, what's the if you had
<v Speaker 1>a drink? Drink? I get what you mean, but I
<v Speaker 1>see what you're saying, but it's like my mentality is, well,
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna drink. Just fucking drink.
<v Speaker 6>You know.
<v Speaker 1>I used to do like, what's what's the healthiest version
<v Speaker 1>of this? And it's like, dude, just fucking enjoy it,
<v Speaker 1>Just enjoy yourself. But yeah, why why I don't drink
<v Speaker 1>very often at all. Anyway, I'll buy some bean or
<v Speaker 1>last me the entire year. Yeah, I just I drink
<v Speaker 1>maybe a beer of a month if that, unless if
<v Speaker 1>I'm with friends though, because I'm one of those people
<v Speaker 1>where I don't just drink to sort of light the mood.
<v Speaker 1>I drink to get drunk. Okay, yeah, not wasted drunk,
<v Speaker 1>but I'm gonna have a good time. You get tipsy, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>last time I was proper drunk. Grand Final twenty twenty two. Okay, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>good day, Harrison McClure. Finally, sorry, Mic Salter. How is
<v Speaker 1>it combined in the Christmas raditions of you and your partners?
<v Speaker 1>Did you guys match up in terms of when you
<v Speaker 1>think the kid should open? The presence presents under the
<v Speaker 1>tree versus presence in the stockings, et cetera. We very
<v Speaker 1>rarely put presents in stockings. No, I don't know how
<v Speaker 1>to hang them.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean we've got I suppose we've got to
<v Speaker 4>have mental places and metal peace.
<v Speaker 1>In Australia we don't have like fire people do a fireplaces,
<v Speaker 1>but not as many it was with in the UK.
<v Speaker 1>So we just get the stockings of chocolates, are shaped
<v Speaker 1>like stockings. Just put those up correct. What about you
<v Speaker 1>do you spend Christmas with Louise? Louise usually spends it
<v Speaker 1>with my family. I mean she'll go to fam like, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>bring into our place.
<v Speaker 4>Usually how it works on Christmas morning is she'll have
<v Speaker 4>it with the kids and her usually not of that one,
<v Speaker 4>although that's family.
<v Speaker 1>Tough for her and the kid's father and all that
<v Speaker 1>kind of stuff. Okay, he still comes over for that,
<v Speaker 1>does he?
<v Speaker 4>They go to the they go to his place, which
<v Speaker 4>was their original house, and then later in the afternoon, Well,
<v Speaker 4>then I'll be at home sort of preparing what I'm
<v Speaker 4>going to bring to the Davids family smallest board, and
<v Speaker 4>then we'll go to my family in the afternoon. But
<v Speaker 4>usually we'll do a thing with Loui's family, like her
<v Speaker 4>mum and dad, the kids, extended family and all that.
<v Speaker 4>This year we're doing it like a couple of days
<v Speaker 4>before Christmas at Empire Grill in Geelong, we looked over
<v Speaker 4>the menual. Oh raised pain. We're a lot of concerned
<v Speaker 4>about that. But yeah, he always says.
<v Speaker 1>I got this, Yes you do, sir. I'll order two steaks.
<v Speaker 1>You say, steak or chicken? Have you never have you
<v Speaker 1>never heard a Parker and Stone thing of Therefore, and
<v Speaker 1>but Harris mcclelly finally question, here, are you guys any
<v Speaker 1>good at Christmas shopping? Have you guys got any Christmas
<v Speaker 1>shopping stories? I have finished all my Chrystal shopping, the
<v Speaker 1>majority of it in like October.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, mine is not yet finished. Dennis presents on the
<v Speaker 4>way I received, I've received email notification.
<v Speaker 1>It's like your present is on the way. I'll give
<v Speaker 1>you part of your present last night. You sure did
<v Speaker 1>slits one ad. I feel today in these days, it's
<v Speaker 1>easier to find specials if you shop online. Yeah, because
<v Speaker 1>going to various stores it's like sometimes but sometimes granted,
<v Speaker 1>you could go to a place like a came up
<v Speaker 1>or whatever, and it's just the store managers like, we
<v Speaker 1>got too much of this ship. Just clear it out.
<v Speaker 1>Let me tell you a story. Yeah, I didn't. I
<v Speaker 1>end up.
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if I mentioned on any of our
<v Speaker 4>other shows. I was thinking about buying this sort of
<v Speaker 4>upmarket coffee machine. I was in Aldi and I've got
<v Speaker 4>a course out of the Eye with all the specials
<v Speaker 4>in it. They had these the longy coffee machines. It's like,
<v Speaker 4>you know what, I enjoy coffee and enjoy my morning coffee. Yeah,
<v Speaker 4>I'd like to be able to start making good coffee
<v Speaker 4>as opposed to just the instant that I have, which
<v Speaker 4>is fine. It's like I'm getting on in years. Enjoy
<v Speaker 4>the better things in life. Guy, you treat yourself. But yeah,
<v Speaker 4>being a cheap skate, I'm also looking onlines like can
<v Speaker 4>I get a little cheaper than now? You and other
<v Speaker 4>places had it at sort of comp do.
<v Speaker 1>You find out whenever you're shopping you always pull your
<v Speaker 1>phone out and just see if someone else? Oh yeah,
<v Speaker 1>I do it every time.
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, yeah, very much like is cheese cheaper Woolies?
<v Speaker 4>Or I met bullies? But is this cheese cheaper at coals?
<v Speaker 1>Because I'm doing I'm going there. On the way back, anyway,
<v Speaker 1>I'll go to JB but which I see a soundtrack
<v Speaker 1>of viny that I like, I'll go Should I buy here?
<v Speaker 1>Should I buy it from eBay? Or yeah? Very often
<v Speaker 1>it's don't buy here, yeah, don't support local.
<v Speaker 4>But anyway, Aldi sold out when I went back, like,
<v Speaker 4>oh no, they're all gone. But luckily the good guy
<v Speaker 4>still had it for a good price, went down and
<v Speaker 4>got it there. Then I was killing a little time
<v Speaker 4>and I went into Kmart where they had a whole
<v Speaker 4>bunch of the longy coffee machines for even less different
<v Speaker 4>model though, and I think maybe a slightly downgrade that.
<v Speaker 4>I was just like, do I really want the good
<v Speaker 4>coffee machine or I do want the okay coffee machine?
<v Speaker 4>But I could still take this other one back and
<v Speaker 4>then get this for a much cheaper And I was like, no, no,
<v Speaker 4>you made a committment yourself to start enjoying the fire
<v Speaker 4>things in life.
<v Speaker 1>Don't skim now, I know what I did. What'd you do?
<v Speaker 1>I talk about the coffee machines? So I bought the
<v Speaker 1>coffee machine onlin line for mum. And then you told
<v Speaker 1>me about the thirty dollars vouch a right, So I
<v Speaker 1>went to the good guys and said, I want to
<v Speaker 1>cancel this and then re buy it, but use my
<v Speaker 1>thirty dollars vouch to go. Goes, I don't think you
<v Speaker 1>can do that. I'm like, oh, I just want to
<v Speaker 1>cancel this order. Then I'm just going to go over
<v Speaker 1>there and buy that one. She goes, Yeah, I don't
<v Speaker 1>think you can do that. I'm like, you actually can't
<v Speaker 1>stop me from canceling this order. I don't want this
<v Speaker 1>order anymore. And then she goes after after the call
<v Speaker 1>someone I said, cool guy comes over and the guy goes,
<v Speaker 1>just take thirty dollars off it, and she's like, can
<v Speaker 1>we do that? He's like, why do you fucking care
<v Speaker 1>it's not coming out your chest. She's like, yeah, whatever,
<v Speaker 1>thirty bucks, thirty fucking dollars. It was like, yeah, thirty
<v Speaker 1>dollars more in my pocket.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and the I don't think the fine people are
<v Speaker 4>thelonging You're going to go all right, well, it looks
<v Speaker 4>like we're not building Revel, we're not building the children's hospital.
<v Speaker 4>Six in the box and missing thirty dollars missing from
<v Speaker 4>the budget. I'll tell the children there'll be missed. No
<v Speaker 4>staff people anyway. That is the email bag. Oh no,
