Macbeth at one scene seven. Look it up. I shall come on Wikipedia, load you unwieldy behemoth. Oh dear, sorry, Joe Bob Hoist on his own bitid it hoist with his own retid Oh get a life. Four finger discount, dude, welcome to fourthing a discount? Where this we hit the review episode eight of season nineteen. It is a Fraser reunion, which is actually pretty cool union because it was the first reunion post the shows finale. It is funeral for a fiend. I am Dando and I am gud

now viewers of the viewers, listeners. Yeah, well, we've got this on video as well. You may see us rubbing our hands together. Now, often this is indication of glee. We're in it for something great, or is it that it's really cold? We got to keep one another. I'm in a T shirt, guys in a jumper. Private media. That's who you work for, right, That is one of my many employ are getting sponsored money on the side. Oh, we're not doing video content.

I'll wear private media. Pe RaSE, please, I am not that business savvy. I am He's really not. He's actually not. I am curse you magic beans. That's what I'm getting paid for by from Dando and corporate. No, this happens to be the warmest hoodie that I own, and it's the most comfortable. We all have that one comfortable hoodie that even when it's dirty, you'll still put it on, as opposed to ones that are clean and fresh. It might be. Yeah, I mean, I've got

other hoodies that are a little more stylish. Yeah, one might say a little more or less bland. I mean, I'm a big fan. Just the gray hoodie looks very nice, I think, but I'm very disappointed that it's not Country Road. I'm not gonna lie. I know, well, I do have other items that I took a possession of the shirt. Isn't they country? Right? I know? We gotta keep myself looking flat? How is that not their theme? I imagine they've tried, Sure have to

have tried. And the estate of the late great John Denver just said, what money please? Will they use it at the AFL games for the Brisbane Lines. So the Brisbane Lines every time they kick a goal, the player they select a song for the season that plays over the speakers every time they kick a goal. And Charlie Cameron for the Brisbane Lines has chosen Country Roads. Whenever he kicks a goal here the whole crowd breaks out in the song.

I think that Country Road, the clothing label has a high opinion of itself as like, no, no, we want to be known for ourselves. We don't want to associate ourselves with and we don't want to be associated with any song or anything like that. When you think of Country Road, you've been thinking us. You don't be thinking of the song. You don't be thinking of anything else. You think of us, and you stopped for the you stole the name of my song. I'm sure there is more than

one meaning of the term country road. Is there? Give me two, the song and the clothing. That's sort of meaning their brand anyway, it doesn't matter. Funeral for offend while we wip your heads together because you enjoyed this episode or night partly but partly because I'm trying to keep warm, although it is very nice here in the studio. Yeah, I try to keep it warm here. Not too warm though, because then you sweating like a peak. Well, yeah, we can't have that. We can't have that.

I do know what we can have. I've got a story before we get into today. So took the kids to Adventure Park here in Geelong on the weekend they had their annual winter festival as long as one big adventure park. Yeah it is, yes, depending on where you go. And we went there. So it was a grand opening night of their winter festival. They have it over winter obviously, and it's just Christmas lights basically threat the

place and there's fake snow and toasting marshmallows, winter things. Christmas in June July. They basically about three years ago they went, we're only making money every summer. How can we make money the rest of the year. Yes, if you don't get a white Christmas in Australia, unless, of course you know no, no, I won't talk about looking at that road, this could go something like that country right, well play, So I took the kids to adventure Land to celebrate Christmas park. What did I say,

adventure Park cartman Land? Yes, anyway, So Nikola wanted strawberries covered in chocolate, and they had lint chocolate. They're covering the strawberries and she's like lint, yes please. So as opposed to things you normally get Intelong, which is the strawberries covered in lint. Yes, So she sends me to go get the strawberries. Actually no, I just decided to get them for

as a surprise while she was watching the kids get their face painted. And I'm in line and this is woman next to me, and she'd be about a foot away from me at first, and she's sort of talking to herself about the menu order going to get. I think she's talking to herself. She's like, I do you want this? Do we want that? And she's talking and then she's got gets a bit closer, and I'm thinking,

okay, sure, maybe you're just trying to read something. And she sort of leans in a little bit, sort of not rests ahead on my shoulder, kind of like leans into sort of like whisper, and she says to me, I Am not kidding. She goes, so I eat these and you eat me later, right, I don't know, And she looked, she's squealed. She thought I was her husband. Her husband taking three steps back. Oh my god. She goes, you paid for it. She ran off, and her husband goes, what she said to you, and

I went, you asked. I'm not repeating it, but yeah, phrase yourself for a fun evening. Yeah, Oh my goodness, it was just that Okay, she's getting closer, Okay, she's she's leaning in what she's doing it and then she just whispers that in my ear, I am very happy that there's a couple out there keeping the spark alive. Yeah, that's great. I think her families sons like I do know. Maybe twelve thirteen is about three steps. He's worrying a home or go through the hedge,

hooodie of all things. I look at that. But she's like, yeah, so I eat these and you eat me right now? What this reminds me of a great headline in the satirical newspaper at The Onion, Yeah, where they had a mother's yeah oh yeah, the only verse of Thetuto that's the Australian version there. Yeah. Yeah, there's a lot of satirical newspapers out there, but the Onion is the original and best. And they had a mother's Day story in which the headline was breakfast in birdserved a mom who

just got eaten out. That's what that reminded me of. The picture is mum looking very happy, but like Adam, we saw her later on. So we're doing like the tour of Walker in the lights, like a little strip. We're just walking on lights either side, blah blah blah, and what would you know, the one couple out of there is this cheek and she looks at me and she just sort of like laught at stuff, and the sort of walks off, and I said to the neck, like that's

her. She was like, do we walk with them? I'm like, I don't know, don't. We waited about a minute, let him get ahead, and then we just sort of kept that distance because it's just awkward, right, And then later she got a head shit did indeed? So that's a great story. We don't need to talk about Funeral for a Fiend, No thanks, coming back next week, But Funeral for a Fiend,

I've got a couple of knits to pick with. It hit me. I just thought we've had some wacky Bob scenarios plots in the past, right Sidcho Bob plots. This one feels very convoluted and far fetched, to the point where I went, what was the whole point of the first bit at all? Besides the fact that they had to link the TV story to the Bob story because Bob deliberately foiled his own plan at the start just so he could be arrested. Couldn't you have not just gone to Simpons house with a knife

and got arrested. Why did you have to make an ad buy a venue create this adre under thensumption that the Simpsons will be watching the TV at that point in time. If the whole plan at the start was to be foiled, what was the point of a biger elaborate scheme to get the Simpsons there? As someone has come up with my fair share of diabolical plans during my life, I will say that the reason for this is to for twenty few minutes of running time, and it was purely to connect TVO to Bob.

That's the only reason. Indeed, the first quarter of this episode, well up to the inciting incident, shall we say, first five or six minutes here, Yeah, I felt very much just like a very two thousand and seven and add for TVO. Yeah, And I was like, what was TiVo again? I mean we never had TIVA, but we didn't have it in Australia, but we had equivalent of something V. Yeah, it's a DVR, but it's into a digital video recorder. Is that right? No?

So basically they it's like having it. Yeah, you hear foxtail box and you can connect the ads. Yes, well, you can fast forward the ads. I'm pretty sure TVO would. Basically, you could just eliminate the ad. So, I don't know. We never really had TVO here, but I'm pretty sure you say cut out ads, and it would just cut them out for you. But they were fast forwarding, at least they were. Yeah, so I'm thinking it's just like a digital video recorder and

like, hey, yeah, you can skip the ads. Basically, it's just a case of yeah, a hard dish drive, like the hardest recorder. We still yeah, yeah, so you would record them and then watch them later on. Yeah. So at the time it was groundbreaking because you don't have to watch ads. Not having to watch ads was a big deal. In two thousand and seven, it turns out we need them. We do need them, yes, right there, and we're bad. I only put one. I only put one out there, not the usual just a

fuck with you, Oh my goodness. Well that's why you're tuned into the full finger, doesn't it network to get fucked with him? Yes, But the plot was just very convoluted, and I thought there was no point to us, I was really not tuning into this episode for the plot, and if you were, well, more fool you. I mean, look,

it's fine, it's I mean, it's it's convoluted. You're right, But I get the feeling that the point of a Sideshow Bob episode or anything that involves the side Show Bob universe is invariably going to be overly complicated because he prides himself on, I don't know, being the smartest clan in the room and come out with plans so intricate and you know, so devious that he's playing five D chess. No one is on his level except everyone's on his

level because he not as smart as he thinks he is. I was kind of disappointed, as I was touching on earlier. It was the first time the Fraser cast had reunited since the show had finished. When Cecil first appeared on The Simpsons, and they played up the Fraser aspect. They even had the Fraser little little chapter chapter headings, and they had the intro and things like the music and whatnot, and their banter was very Fraser esque. Right, So you had John Mahoney, John Mahoney as his dad, but he

wasn't playing the Martin sort of aspect. He was the It's almost like an older version of Side Show Bob. And I was disappointed by that because David Hypiers played Cecil, but he played himself as I feel I should have done the same. I see where you're coming from. I don't care. I know the people will say, well, they've already done the Fraser bit, but it wouldn't have mattered didn't keep going with the fra you're adding, yeah,

I mean before you had David Hyde Pierson. So that adds another aspect to the Phraser bit. Yeah, yeah, John Mahoney, you're putting another lego blocking It's fantastic. I I'm going to justify it by saying, oh, yeah, they're creating a side show Bob family here. What's what's the same to Willia. Yeah, I think it would make sense if they are all kind of so too bobbish to put it. That's it still could have

been that because Cecil. I guess such a cecils because I think what I think about Martin and Fraser is that he's kind of a blue collar guy every day, the opposite of his defeat sons. And that's therein lies the comedy. It's like, how did I get birth of these two? What's he? He doesn't talk like that, he doesn't talk like mod? Why did I do that? What based to it? That was all part of my DVS planned. I'm playing five bits. I can see why they did it.

But yeah, I think you're right. I think it would have been better if they'd actually echoed their Fraser characters as opposed to Yeah, because it didn't sort of really take advantage of John Mahoney. This could have been anybody. It really could have it. You're right, But it just didn't feel like it didn't. It wasn't played up like it was a big deal. I thought it would have been a big deal, like and here's my family and made it like Fraser rest. I just thought I was just a bit

disappointed with it. I get where you're coming from, and I agree to some degree. In an ear of The Simpsons where they're constantly repeating the same jokes over and over again, you thought, why not just repeat the Fraser bit anyway? And you've got a good actor like John Mahoney, you should let him cook a little bit more. Yes. Also, apparently Opal's now a recurring gag on the show two weeks that's right, two weeks in a row. Yeah, of the same ship. Yeah, with straightmen again,

Straightman and the crowd getting free stuff. I'm going to skip through all the cheer here, a lot of cheering. Yeah, ah, they enjoyed that joke. It's like, toss them off. Well, I know, really, I guess they're sort of taken the mickey. But that they had Oprah on the show in the early nineties for like a little bit, like a little segment which wasn't really taking the mickey out of Oprah, was more taken

the mickey out of daytime. Oh so Oprah visited the Simpsons. That was a little like a two minute little bit, and it was almost like the Simpsons were just this ridiculous family in Oprah is the normal one going into this world. Yes, but I just thought, here, oh, we're just gone with the same gag two weeks in a row. Classic Simpsons. Never used to do that, No, no, I mean they want they had

to do the tv O thing. Well, they didn't have to do the t BOTH thing, but they introduced it as the quite un quite inciting incident. They probably were doing funny at in two thousand and seven the TVO bits as funny now because if you just say, yeah, fifteen now right, the concept of tvo're on. Of course we can fast Ford ads. What are you talking about? It'd be what you give, like, what are ads? That's literally Alliot's light there. The other day something came up and

then that played and he goes, what's this? We have to watch the ad? He goes, what's an ad? Well, she just had what's an ad? I was like, yeah, what is an ad? What is an ad? It is the oil that fuels capitalism, It keeps those wheels returned. But that aside, I thought. Kelsey Gramman was once again fantastic as Bob. Just his dramatic delivery of lines can make even the shittest joke sound funny. Yeah, he goes all in. I mean, more

power to Kelsey Grammer for yeah, never phoning it in. When he has a side show Web he seems to really enjoy it is the guy who seems to really enjoy acting. No, I mean when you see him do like bits on say thirty Rock or Oh No, shows up in just about anything. He's long forgotten sitcom back to you. His dramatic turn in the series Boss. He was actually pretty good in it, Wasn't he in Cheese? I know he's in Cheers. I'm checking, But yeah, never never really

phones it in. I don't know if he's got the greatest range as an actor, but he does have certain tools that he uses very well. He's got that lovely Millflo's voice. I'm sure he's got range. But he just knows what works, and he knows what people want from him. I guess, yeah, he's kind of content to stay in his lane. Adam sounds a great rage. But say the line, Billy, my late uncle Teddy for Christmas one year gave me the Kelsey Grammar's autobiography. It was called so

Far. I just bought Patrick Stewart's Yeah is it God? Make it so? Or I can't give another one? Make it so? Yeah? Yeah? Ten bucks your target for real? Yeah? Clear, it's ten bucks. There was two left. I thought, guys, he's got this. I'm sure he's already got it. I do not, but that's all right, I'll just borrow yours. And you know, because of Kelsey Grammer's voice and he's bearing and all that, your tend to think, Oh yeah, so grew up drinking brandy and playing croquet and all this kind of stuff.

He's more like a surfer dude. Yeah, and hann this is really tough life. I mean a lot of his really tough life. Yeah, a lot of his siblings and that just untimely ends. Yeah. I think the back the picture on the back cover was like him with like this rock and corvette and like a vanity license, like like the Kels or something like to these something. Right, that's like Will Smith's style. It is not, Yeah, I mean you're expecting him in the smoking jacket and you know pipe

welcome to Masterpiece Theater. It's more like, let's go cruising. But I like that aspect. Oh yeah, I mean dichotomy is always interesting. I guess that's kind of the side show Bob character as well, where you know, he has the sort of the upper class he likes the wine, but it's also just a but yeah. Happy to have Kelsey on board, Yeah, happy to have David Hyde Peers on board, who did his cecil stick well with Bart That was one of my favorite momes or get the favorite moones,

my favorite. So it's all basically just Cecil and Bob when it comes to my favorite moments here. But I thought the interaction was cescl and Bart worked, except what do you think of the line of Bart saying what you're saying sounds smart, but you're actually stupid? Yeah? Did you ever see show that thought it was started than? I think that's the kind of crison that a lot of people, well not a lot of people, but some people would level against Frasier. Yeah, it's like, okay, yeah for

Thursday Night at NBC. Say, I'm not sure what exactly when it did or who would which network it add upon, but it's like, yeah, for a Thursday at sitcom, it's pretty smart. Your level up against something that's actually smart. Sophisticates swing well, no, I think they're probably on the same on the same page and all. Yeah, i'd say, so what do you reckon? Smarter? Oh? Usually when it comes to scripted television, probably like pressed these stuff on HBO or whatever, Which is what?

Give me an example? I don't know, maybe the Sopranos is smarter than west Wing. Maybe this is not talking about the viewers or anything like. I think it's more talking about the people who are signing the checks AT's say NBC it's like the storytelling is different. Yeah, it's like when it comes to sitcoms, Fraser is definitely one of the smartest written. Oh yeah,

it's just inger inger, Zinger, zing Zinger. Yeah, but it's also seemingly because it deals with people who are quote unquote smart and sophisticated, it has to give that appearance of smart sophisticated, but the same time, it can't be so smart sophisticated that people go, I can't know what they don't know what they're fucking talking about. I just can't wait until we do Fraser, West Wing and Sopranos on TV launch Pop. Well, that's true.

I'll be like improvement. I don't get it. It's like we please watch some Tim Allenie almost he's more my speed. But I hope I made my point clearly that it's a show that has to appear smart sophisticated, but not so smarts fits together that people are turned off by. Well, you have to understand some It's I always say Trivia Knights. I compared to Trivia Knights, there have to be some tough questions where you might not get it. Yeah, but you're gonna be able to answer some of them. Otherwise

you'll leave being annoyed and you never go back. Oh sure, there's a great movie called Quiz Show. Have you ever heard of this? No made in the nineteen nineties, directed by Robert Radford and starring like Ray Farnce and John Taturo. It's about this quiz show. It actually did pretty well, but it was released in the midst of the show. Yeah yeah, I mean for a movie that about a quiz show scandal in the nineteen fifties where it turned that they were feeding answers to this guy who was on it.

It's actually, you know, surprisingly compelling and very very well mate. But the thing of it is at the end that the scandal has been exposed and you've got the head of the network or head of the show played my Martins saying we didn't have to give them the answers. I mean, you know, we could have just made the questions a little dumber. People, you know, aren't interested in who's smarter who's not. They just want to watch the money. They just want to see Yeah I won. So I don't

know why I'm talking about this. I'll just let you go some of the fund to let you watch them run and you turn around and get back to it to see if I can actually land the plane. And I think certain shows are like that. They've got it. You know, you don't necessarily want it to be smart. You just want to have the appearance of smartness. Speaking of planes, we're about to record out of you have lost. That is very lodgepot. That is very correct. Now, hang on,

why didn't I write down we were talking about lost? Oh? Yeah, because they mentioned on the T boat. Yes, I see unified theory, unified theory or four fing a discount. I'm sorry I did. I'm overheating in my hoodie. My brain is boiling. I really like on Wikipedia. No, do you want Wilding Behemoth or at that moment where it's just you

look at you laptop and go, why aren't you loading? No? I think if the computers are like people mine mine, particularly in the morning, it's like Robert, gently turn it on, turn it on, gently, wake it up with a good rub. No, why are you so slow

to start with pushing all the right buttons? Oh? Control deleted? If you're asking me about my favorite member, so I'm sure you're about to of course, you've got side show Bob and Cecil in there as well, but from my cecil cecil, well tomato tomato, Okay, let's call them cecil probably cl I. This felt very old school home and me in a way

that I appreciate it. When they're driving to the funeral home or the church or whatever and Lisa's explaining the whole all interested with the plotinams uh huh okay, yep, Well that felt very classic and I felt kind of old school in a way that I appreciate. Killed. Yeah, are you done yet? Because we've been circling on the funeral home for ten minutes. I thought that was great, really enjoy that. Some just good word playing there as

well. When Ken Brockman is in the front of the shows the variable who's Who's who? I need you like that get and also Kelsey Grammer saying call me slide show Bob, I'll play it. I'll pay that. That was good actually refect him as slide show Bob does this? All right, that's all your favorite moments.

Oh yeah, oh the Hills have I remake in the two thousands, That's what I meant. Yeah, yeah, sick. There was a section there where it like the horror franchise, the horror genre was just sort of revived, where for me it was that Wrong Turn. I loved Wrong Turn. Now Wrong Turn is the one that has the Hillbillies right, yes,

Yill Billies. And I really enjoyed the Texas Chainsaw reboot. It was pretty good. Yeah it was. And they got me with that fake footage because you know it was like twelve year old naive Dan. I was like, this is the only norm footage of Liver the head and I was like, fuck, is there somewhere Texas? Yeah, but the hills have eyes a really good, really good one of those.

Where cecil going to be scattering the ashes over the I was going to say the mountains of France, castles of front, castles of France, that's right. And they compromise on Spain, which please no one.

Keep listening, Come on, man, anyway, Well, no stone left uncut, thanks to all those fantastic stone cutters. Yeah, thank you.

Indeed, all right, mister Davis, it's time to get into our review of Funeral for a Fiend, which originally aired November twenty fifth, two thousand and seven, production code kab F zero one, written by Michael Price, directed by our man Rob Oliver, who will be coming on the Forefinger Discount Network in a number of weeks to have a chat Willie. Now. Fantastic fun fact. He was the man who designed the DVD covers for The Simpsons, which I think is a pretty cool claim to fame. I mean,

he's obviously director acclaimed one Emmy's he designed the DVD covers. However, he did design the box head ones boom, so sir, not a fun fact. Boo. That man an unfunk fact. And we had Kelsey, David and John returning for the Frasier reunion as well as Keith Oberman, so I never know who is this guy Keith Openman. He is a broadcast journalist. Okay, yeah, because that just was straight over my head and I thought, I know he's going to be someone US based. I don't care

about this. His TVA story is just not it for me. Yeah, this is kind of spinning its words all them. Yeah, you know, we got to the we got to the meat of the thing eventually. No chalk game. But there is a couch gag. It's a magician walks into the empty living room and uses his cape to make the couch and the family appear from thin air. Speaking of magicians, we watched there's a show called pen and teala Us full Us or something. Yeah, we never heard of

it. We just we kept saying ads for it when we're watching stuff on foxtail. We thought, let's let's link it. Not bad show. Are you you aware of pen and Teller before? Ill? Ye? When Nicola knows, oh is he actually a magician? Is he was on Friends once? Yeah? They're probably the most famous music magicians of our time. Yes, yeah, because Copperfields, I wouldn't say he's my time, he's he's eighties, seventies eighties Where penineala they just they've had a Las Vegas thne for

like twenty years now, right, I reckon? So yeah, but the show not bad and there's this woman from Australia who has fooled them now six times in a row with the tricks. I was it, Sophie Monk, No, it was not, but all the tricks that they put you sort of watched it, going, ah, you can kind of figure it out if you really think about it, what they've done there. But then the osi you did it, and you think, going, how did you do

that? I was flabbergasted. Are you someone who wants to debunk magic tricks? Are you're just happy to let them have? As a kid, I used to love the revealing the magician's secrets. I love the idea of debunking it. Now I just want to just magic and it's it's magic. Yeah, yeah, I know you've done it somehow. I don't want to know how you've done it. Same, yeah, because then the magic's gone and you need the magic. The magic? Does that maggic that the magic?

It's tragic? Yeah. But the family arrive at the store. Never know what the store was called? Uh circuit circus, that's right here. Did it have a seal? I can't remember? Maybe now you said that over a seal balancing the logo on its nose, but it had mos boder new TV. They're going to have them learn into the cars. You know, you put on the roof, it falls off, smashes and it's oozing. It starts oozing. Yeah, and I've never broken a TV. Have you ever broken a TV? No? I never have. I've seen a friend

throw his place. She control it at the floor, bounced up, smash the television. At that moment of no one say anything, yeah, we're now. We just sort of sat there and went ooh. When that happens, do you start formulating how can I spin this to get you know, an insurance payout if you broke it yourself? Yeah, well you have to write, but I don't think you're ever going to get it. No, no, but you you've got to come up with some someone stole my television,

nothing else, just my television. Well that yeah, that means you've got to get rid of other stuff as well. Doesn't just hide it for a while anyway. Yes, that's correct. Not that we advocating she stole the fine china. They don't have fine china in twenty twenty four. I think so Nicola's got these wine glasses in the laundry. I think I think we may have gone for our wedding, which is probably watch she keeps in. But I said, you've never used these. Why do we have this

box? I'll use them one day. You never will be married for third years. You're never gonna use them. To use them now my philosophy as of late, Yeah, okay, being alive is as special occasion as it gets. I believe this holy start. You know, using all your ship. I don't mean oh I'm spending all your money. I'm gonna wear that. That's that's done. Really, what you've got good foes wear them all the time. That's why you buy them, right, that's correct. Don't

use the use the fancy china, eat a burrito on it. You're in caves and kick as it's not it's crazy. You want a hot car or hot love it. You want to want a glass bottom broat break out, break out, the coffee table. But this is where Moe says, people are wondering what the hell we're talking about. Going into our most recent episode of going down to South proper condom use. Yeah, very funny episode, but so disturbing. Another two thousand and seven sort of gig here watching DVD's

and family vans. No one does this anymore. I remember I've being able to watch a movie in the car with the DVD TVD TV screen was like groundbreaking. Yeah, it was like, wow, you're clearly rich. Now it's just smartphones, iPads. Yeah, people aren't really doing it. Well, have the wines built into the back of the way, I don't know. There's absolutely no reason. Now when you have iPads they costs one hundred fifty hundred dollars. Yeah, it felt kind of dystopian when it first happened.

That like seeing a TV screen in the back of the of the driver's seat or something so the kids would be I don't know, especially a narrowplane on the highway. Yeah, it's felt always felt weird to me. But then you know, I had one friend who had it and it was amazing. Yeah, it's quite garth from Wayne's world. I fear change, you do, indeed we all. But he sees big burd in China, won't grove a be lonely, blah blah blah, not much to that home,

and then ignores all the salespeople. You all a fancy smanchy thing of a jig's boy We're just going to get a camera, battery and go home. Interested in the car, Starrea, No thanks, just here for a battery, big special on camp Cooder's allow one is the battery. Care to make love, sir? Battery? Battery, battery. This is me. When I go to any store, I have to decide I'm going there for this.

Don't look sideways, go straight there. But then, invariably, if you had the situation where it's like, I know exactly what I want. Oh no, I've got a question, yes, and then you can feel them like, oh so, now you need this. I've had situations where I go to kmart or whatever to get something, have a basket in my hand, and then I've real as have been in there for twenty minutes and baskets full except for the thing that I went there for. Have you ever

had that? The curse of Ancho? But home is there just to buy his batteries. He chooses not the ever already, not that sometimes ready, but the dead already for fifty cents. I'll get a question, are you cheap when it comes to buying batteries? No? So do big brand ones actually last longer? I have no idea that's the thing. But I'm very

much I'm a name brand guy. When it comes to batteries. I always just go to Bunnies and I have like their version of Anko batteries because you get like a thirty pack for like twelve dollars and even if they don't last as long, you're getting heat, you're doing the maths. It's like they can come out ahead with this, but I think maybe slightly. But Nicholas like, we'll just pay more and then you have to change batteries over so often. I'm like, leave me alone. Yeah, you and I both

No, No, let my reptile brain do the work. Yeah, yeah, this is more expensive there. Yes, you and I recently bought new showing our either our age or just our savvy Blu Ray players. We bought new Blu Ray. That was the secret. By the way, it was one about podcast where you had to write in and try and guess what it was. Did anyone know? One got it right? No one got it right, because you know we're the members of the Laser Club. Yes,

but we're both born And did you when you got yours? Did it come with the the remote control with the two batteries on the plastic yes, yes, And these are no name batteries. These are sawny batteries panaphonic. Yes. So I'm like, I'm not using them. Oh really, I'm putting into the side the full laser Blu ray experience. Yeah. No. I went to the drawer and I broke out my little triple A as the box

ever ends it pretty I bought a backup for sixty five dollars. So you were saying, yeah, it was eighty five, and it said offer. I offered him sixty and he's like sixty five, And I was like, Dell, I love how everyone on eBay thinks they're like the mast negotiations about five percent. Well, I fell for this on Amazon yesterday, that five that five dollars offer. It's it's bad shit. I better buy that four K cone of the Barbarian and said, which I did get? Did you

really? Oh yeah, can't wait? Get the riddle of stealing four k? Baby? What is best in life? This disc what my world change? When I realized four k's were ridging free? Correct, I was like, oh shit, this changes everything? Shit, son, But yes, I will always upscale my batteries. Okay, so yeah, I've probably got

some some no names lying around still in the plastic liketose items. Well yeah, well when you sell them on, when inevitably sell your laser blue Rose, make sure you sell the comes with original batteries as the laser batteries. Are they laser batteries? They wouldn't it be amazing if they were, though, Oh yeah everything was his name brand. If it was, that would be good. But hope it gets sucked into here to buying the TVO for two dollars so he can get the three battery batteries. But it's also a

two year contract. It's a contracts. That's where they get you. I my phone now, I've so I used to always want to have to get the latest phone, upgrade my phone. Whenever my phone contract was up, you upgrade it right to the lays one. The other day, well what about three months ago? This is about new one get nod I went, yes, this FOS still works. What why do I need to upgrade this? This? His phone is fine? This is yeah. This is the

real indication that you know timers, that you and Time are. I was like good buddies. I pay seventy five, seventy five dollars a month or eighty dollars a month for this new phone. I'm like, I'd rather be keep this one. Only pay thirty dollars a month. That's what I'm doing. Yeah, I mean you have a phone from two thousand and seven. Yeah, but I can play snake when everyone wants my hack. Right, my friend Phil, my best man for my wedding. My men feel I

think you've met Phil before. Maybe anyway, he taught me a hack. Right. So in Australia, this is up for American in Australia with Woolworths. Right, the phone bill eble live costs thirty dollars a month. Right, So with what he does is they buy their phones outright, He and his wife Ali, Yes, and then they are members of Woolworst where you get once a month you get a thirty is its off your shop? Right, that's what they do is twice a month or once a month they do.

He does the big shop. It costs more than three hundred dollars, gets thirty dollars off. That covers his Wilworst bill, his phone bill. There's the thing I love about capitalism. It is a game that can be So he buys my phone outright, His phone services through Woolworths. But because he saves the thirty dollars off his big shop with the temper cent for being a wil Worst member, that was his phone bill. So his phone is essentially his phone contract is free. That makes sense to you, It makes

sense. Yeah, so Wolwors, I'm saying it makes sense. So sign up to your phone contract through Woolworths, right as Nicholas three Woolworths. So what she does? It cost her thirty dollars a month to have a phone contract for Woolworths. Right, we're Woolworst members. Where as a result, you get once a month ten percent off your shop. So we do the one big shop. It's three hundred dollars plus you save thirty dollars there. Now thirty dollars saving is what pays for her Woolworst phone bill. So all

counteract each other, even the pocket a big wool Words. No we're not. But I just thought you told me this hacked the other week and I thought that's genius. Nicols like you, I've been doing it for months. I'm like, ah, I've met on votaphone for years. I was like, oh shit, exactly, good plan. Yeah. So Basically, Nikola doesn't pay for her phone contract anymore. She brought her phone out right. No, no, she let her phone so she's still got the same phone

from a last Vota phone contract. She didn't buy a new one. She's using her previous phone and she just has a free phone service now because you save ten per cent with Woolworths. I know it sounds like I'm trying to shill Woolworths, but does it make sense to you? It does fourthinger discount for further financial hacks in these tough times. This is my new KFC thing because KFC fucked me over. I've got to cocky here you are revealing these

hacks. Yeah, so basically, wells with your phone service, save ten percent of your shop once a month with a big shop. Don't do little shops. Do one big shop, save thirty dollars and then boom, there you go. You've saved your phone contract. Take that money and spend it on KFC. Yeah. I don't care. I love it. But Homer's got tv O now and he's a two year contract as results, so we can get in these the batches behind it. He doesn't know why you got

it in the first place. So now he's waiting for Lisa to set up the tv O TIV has been off for a whole five minutes, which is a long time in the Simpsons household. And Lisa then shows you can skip commercials, and when did they ever take commercial? During Itching and scratch? It goes for thirty seconds? I know, R, that's television. I guess even by two thousand and seven. Two thousand and seven, we say two thousand and seven. Then it gets to twenty ten, twenty eleven?

Did you have say twenty eleven or was it twenty eleven? Once you get for me once I got to do I think once we got out of the single digits, it was twenty something twenty eleven. Now it's twenty twenty four. Yeah. Do you call the rollin Emeric Disaster Movie twenty twelve or twenty twelve? I call it twenty twelve. I call it the After Tomorrow. Let me sit on that one, for that was just right then. Just came up with that right the top of the door. But they had the

cuerture of drink it discussion. She fast forwards. Now some of the ads here we got were fundso yes, mister sparkle I saw mister. Now remember when Homer had his group, they were like they'd go around Springfield and were they like rangers or whatever. They wore the green outfits. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, his crew with Mo and whatnot. That there was their commercial was played doing here as well. I just remember mister spark just spekful to dirt. Yes he is. Indeed, there is over there

right behind you. It's a spark very very racist down it was that cultural appropriation or cultural appreciation. Maybe let's go with that then, shall Yes, but Homer says, I spit on your corpse advertiser support of television, which is pretty much what it is. It's things like t kill television. It is. Yeah, I don't know. It was good before it was all niche fied. Marge says she could really follow the story now without the interruption

of ads, and she's enjoying opal with no ads. Straight man just proposed vacation. By the way, the itching scratchy in this one. I mean normally I'm not that bad with me. I know in recent times you've been like, I'm not sure I want the kids to watch this. Its and scratchy. It's advance I did not like which one I'm gonna be home here? Which one was the cat? Again? Itchy? I don't, let's

not, Scratchy thought, I can't. I can't, fuck you said, you said the cat, right, I'm like this with the rod and Todd. Yes, as well. I did not like Itchy being brutalized and then murdered in front of this kitten. Scratchy, Scratchy, itch is the mouse? You said, who's the cat? Right? Yeah, Scratchy? You said. I didn't like Itchy being brutalized. Okay, well I didn't. I didn't like the cat being brutalized. Yeah, it's what she's going.

Okay, but I think if you look at all, if she scratchy cartoons, they're not for kids. And that's that's the joke, Dando obviously, but the joke. But I don't think I'd like Eliott and Holly watching these yet, which makes me feel even older. Like I said, just didn't like it. I've become my mum here from a Simpsons band. It happen. It has happened to me. Yeah, But as I said, margin's enjoying open without having to watch the ads. She skips her all the cheering,

we're now at dinner, actually said she saved lost. She watched all of Rome in a day like that, and watched two and a half Men in two and a half minutes. And also they had to choose between Sophie's choice and Shindler's list. Not a bad joke either. Why is Hollywood producing so much excellent content? That's how it says. It was hard to Yeah. I mean, I know it was satire and playing it up and all that. Well, Hollywood, why are you pretty? Yeah? But I

don't know, I didn't feel like that much of a gaggles. Maybe it was just the way it was delivered. Marge has a dream now with what was the guy's name again, the broadcaster Keith album Keith Obman. Yes, I honestly apologize and don't know anything about the guy, but he's basically saying, you're terrible for just giving the ads, and now we're gonna have no money where I can't afford to have twin people look after me and make me

look pretty because I actually look horrible. That gag went on a little bit too long, it did, It went on two masks too long. And Marge then agrees the kids think question of why are you watching the ads? But she's honoring America's advertisers, and they see the ad for West Dubna's world famous family style riparts, and I thought, that's a long winded, fucking way to get to this story. Indeed, and also stupid. It makes no this makes no sense. So Bob has to do all this and just

hope the Simpsons were watching the TV at the right time. He just likes ornate plots. This was too scheme. This was too ornate for me. But they sing were going to a grand opening on the way, and so don't fill up on bread. That's how they get you. And then there's nobody there that doesn't seem to be anyone here more ripped for me. They're on any tables or chairs or ripped for me. I see, no girl, aven't or food caring more ribs for me. Do you like ribs?

I've never eaten them ever in my life. Just the idea of picking meat off the bone like that just disgusts me. Yeah, but often the meat is if they're well prepared and will cook. It's just falls falling off. Yeah, but still, just the idea, it makes it real to me. It's every once in a while. I mean, like, you know, would be good now rib. I watched Nicola eight ribs once and it disgusted me. I was like, you are an animal, she said, and you're like, no, no, thank you. Sorry. But it's

through under the bus. It's revealed to be to be Bob. It's an an anagram for Star Show Bob's world famous family style return directing. That was the joke they went for, that we have to make this a thing. Yeah, I think so whatever. Then screams because every time it's going to be a commercial, I'll scream really loudly. Obviously it's commercial. We come back and slard show Bob has brought visual aids to exp I would have been doing all this time, which is what he generally does. He explains what

he's been up to. I did like home of being a dumb ass, well as one mister Douga, I have a complaint. I'll bring you my family too, a family restaurant. I expect a good quality service. But they fled to England. He became a chimney brush. They went to Buckingham Palaces during the usual touristy stuff and they snuck into America via a train with Canadian riders for the Jimmy Kimus Show or something, and they made fun of the Jimmy Kimus Show here. I thought, did if Jimmy Kimber was in

two thousand and seven, wasn't here the butt of joke? Well? I thought he was quite respected? Well, didn't kim will start off on like The Man Show? It was The Man Show? Yeah, yeah, which was very lad TV and kind of it's nothing low was common to nominator stuff. But I don't think any of us would have anticipated that Jimmy Kimmel would have been maybe the best Jimmy. It felt like the Marri Children for talk shows. Yeah, it's just let's all drink beers and have women jobbing and

trampoline man? Am I right? Lady? Am I right? Yeah? Who would have been so that that they would have ended up being like an Oscar's host for that many years running? He was my favorite. He still well he's still doing it? Is he still doing kim Show? Okay? Great? I thought, no, no, no, no, no no, but he's not doing Tom Kimshaw. He's got that late. Is he still doing it? I thought? Oh no, I'm thinking of when he talked about Letterman retiring, and he even did when Leediman retired, tell me

they he put a repeat on because he went at the same time. He was at the same time with Letterman. So he said, I'm not going to have a new show tonight. I'm going to be airing the same show. Do not watch my show. Watch Letterman's final show. Good on him. Yeah, yeah, pay respect to the king. And you see there's a photo of him he idolized David Leeddiman as a photo of him wearing a Letterman Bamba jackie when he was younger. He's like tears up talking about it

and think it's worth watching. I'll check it out. Yeah, definitely check it out. But he's made the ad now and as a result of making the ad, he's being offered the directing role for Hills Have Ice three. The he'll still have ours And then he explains his plot here. So he's gonna be a laptop and the batter's gonna overheat and explode. The t T will explode and they'll think that I guess the Simpsons what was our point blued themselves out. Well, the point was there was no point to this because

he planned to deliberately foil himself silliness. It's stupid. What the fuck is too much? You wasted three minutes of the episode for nothing on this ship. But he says Shakespeare. He deliberately got the Shakespeare wrong because he why though, why would you do this? Do you full time in the episode. It was just so Kelsey could say some Shakespeare. If it were done when tis done, then twere best it were done quickly. And that's apparently

not correct. That's from macbethrone. Maybe's written by Shakespeare, right it is? Yeah, yeah, okay, I thought you were saying it wasn't Shakespeare. I was like, no, you threw before a thing. I was like, best not Shakespeare. But then I did like the Clippy here. It seems youre trying to block the loft and one of I hugged my kids. Clippy another thing of two thousand and seven. I didn't realize it's still a thing of two thousand and seven. I never really used Clippy all that

much. Was Clippy just Apple, I don't know. He was always my friend when I was a kid. You have to add a lot. I love how they were trying to make computers. This was the early stage of emotional connection. Good device, it's all part of the grand plan, and they turn on you. They how they get you. But then Lisa says it was to a well and he comes back. We're going to check on

nat. As he comes back, checks explodes. The TNT doesn't explode, though, which I guess makes sense because he wasn't planning to blow it up anyway. And then he actually hoists them own, but Lisa corrects him yet another restaurant. I was annoyed by this well in retrospect, I'm just like, none of this is none of this is necessary. This is wheels spinning. It is. It's just filler. So Bob gets arrested. It didn't it didn't feel like. It's not William Spake's Shakespeare. It's filler Shakespeare.

Yeah, it didn't feel like shape. I feel like shaff It didn't feel like piller when I was watching it. But when the story all unfolds, this is filler. Yes, It's like when you've gone to a fast food restaurant and you feel like you're full and satisfied. But a minute, oh, these are all empty calories. Yeah, nothing at all tasted good, though it tastes good. Going down, but Bob didn't rest well. Bob gets arrested as a results. So now the court room is representing himself amidst

that basically he's pleading in Saturday, doesn't he? Because this little boy? So he introduced his dad, who's a doctor, adopted doctor. Yes, his mother is a famous Shakespearean actress. Yes, which is where he guess the Shakespeare stuff from. And but then but basically says, this guy deserves to fry. Tried to kill me. It's like he does. He's tried to kill a child several times. But as Bob says, who among us has not been tormented by this little pest of a boy, including Homer because

he cheats it. You know, I'm not really an un guy. I don't think i've ever It was a big thing for kids in the ninety so I feel it's just that generational gap. When did it become a popular game? Never for me, never for you? But was it was it around in this like eighties? I'm pretty sure it was was? It has been around for a very long time. Who knows. Just one of the first

card games. It didn't feel like Ghost Snap, where it felt like you're playing a genuine car game when you're a kid, I can play this and I understand the rules, and he felt I felt smart, but you just you felt like you were playing an actual was a transitional thing. Yeah, it wasn't just a girl snap go fish, Go fishing Fish. Are you combining two games and you're combining go fish and it could be something? It could be Yeah, brought to you by your friends at the full finger discast,

let's do it. I didn't want to use this, but you've left me no choice. Lesser in everybody panic. They've done this gag before. Everybody pan. The exact same is that now a catchphrase will be gone. I don't think so, but he's done it. Yeah three times, I think now yeah, but everybody panic. I think the thing about catchphrase is that it has to be a catchy phrase. And this is not the first time I thought it was funny, and now I'm just like, ah,

now it just feels stale and yeah. So Butt then throws it out the window and it's revealed here. Supposedly it's his medicine for his heart defect, which you put up earlier, and Hibbert says that he's dead, and then guy now it's a newsapot and America has a rep oftorney outlaws into legends after their death, which I think it's just America, that's just people in general, right, I think so, But Kelly is ours true but so much

so much of our culture for so long was dictated by America. Yeah, true, But well Hollywood sort of set the set the stage in a lot of ways. Who oh do you think that the mafia in some ways certainly, Yeah, because I mean there was always it was a big one of the in the in the thirties, the gangster compone. Yeah, yeah,

well who was the actual gangster? Yeah, it's not a fictional character, no, but I'm talking about just like Outlaws, but they can has always been said as like a not a hero, but like Robin Hood for example. Yeah, you always have a lot of gangster movies. Yeah, from the time they started making movies. But I also had the message chrome does not pay. So in the end, yeah, it was like, oh

no, is this the end of Rego all that kind of stuff. But people were tuning in to see the gangster get that come up and say were coming. They were tuned in to see the gangster, the gangster ship. I think it was felt anyway with wrestling right during the that's where the classic baby face, right, So in the eighties, whole Cogan was your baby face, Drink your milk, take your vitamins, your pure baby face. And then he became Hollywood Hulk Cogan in the nineties, and all of a

sudden it was cool to like the bad guys. Was that a thing that happened in the nineties or was that already think in the eighties, or it was cool to like the bad guys? I think I think everyone's always had a bit of a soft spot for the bad guy. Okay, so I've always preferred the bad guys. Darth Vader my favorite whenever it comes to movies, the bad guys, my man, well, the monster, or even

even the roguish good guy or the anti hero. I mean, when we're playing Star Wars on Hands on the playground as kids, you know, no one wanted to be Luke. Everyone to be Hand Really, he's his haunt solo, that's right. But did anyone want to be Darth Vader or was like, I don't want to be the bad guy. It's a good point, I don't want to be Judge. Yeah, Now, twenties later, I want to be judg It's like it's like becoming an ironic thing of we

were cruel to Jarge. I was like, you have you watched Phantom Menace? Yeah? He sucks. It's yeah, I mean, all due respect to Armor, best to play the judge. Yeah, terrible character, unworkable character character. Yeah, the guy did the best to cool the ship, saying hell that got through the editing process. I have no idea. Well, everyone was afraid to say no to George. That's and that's literally what it was. That's very much the case. Yeah, I mean I get

it, but still, well, what are you gonna do? God, don't go back in time. We say, tune for a minute by minute Phantom Menace podcast. No thanks, No, it's like one minute of miss Mita Sandler. I nearly I need to see Sandler do a Judge I impersonation. Now, I'm pretty sure we could do that with a farewell signed shore

Bob, your shoes are empty and the stage is dark. Bart stole your nicroglisser and then your heart in fart And it seems to me you're loyal fans, Honda, buy this DVD of all your best love sketches on the Crusty Show. It's full of extra features and deleted scenes like when you fell and split your pants and we saw your frank can be I don't mean huge, I couldn't even shoud have been delated scenes. For me, delated scenes were deleted for a reason. Often the case, I don't mind alternate endings,

but deleted scenes, it doesn't ing you watched. You usually watching going ah, yeah that was nothing. Yeah, there's a reason why this was deleted. Yeah, I mean it was too hot for the movie, the uncut version or whatever. Yeah, But for me, ultimate endings a cook It's like, oh, that takes the story in the inaction with bloopers as well. I can't say it was a huge fan of blooper that mind bloopers. Yeah, but after about a couple of minutes, it's like people make mistakes

that. Yeah, bluepo is other than like you had to be there. Yeah, sometimes, yeah, I can see that. I mean the best blooper is I think from Rush Hour too. Oh yeah, where keeps calling Jackie chan Jackie or keep calling him chan And it's the one where Jackie runs in with the gun and he says, geez, I said a freeze. I'm thinking of another one. Okay, yeah, I know the one you're thinking enough. Yeah, I don Chele is like the man's name is Lee.

Incredibly frustrated, but I just like the work. Geez. I'm pretty sure. He says, cheers that a freeze. It's fucking great and they're laughing and he doesn't know why they laughing. That's that's what makes it great. But also one of the best blueber reels of all time. Yes, anyway, not for blooper reels. But refuses to be sad. At the funeral, Homer says, I still can't stand him echoes Church of Jerks.

And then I was, as a fan of Law and Order appreciated this Marge saying your behavior is heinousus I want to make a mame put on Twitter or whatever saying who watches Law and Order and thinks of the word whenever crime is especially heinous, especially especially when a I'm glad you only want to make that joke every time. We need to grow up. Cecil has a chat hit the Bark and he talks about the castles of Italy in France and were in

to Spain. Compromises satisfied, but nobody, but says, you talk smart, but you're actually stupid. He says he's going to be scattering in the ashes on the castles of France as the way to get back at Bob. The Millhouses round me shows up with the newspaper. Is that delivery boy? Now, yeah, I got no idea what that was. Just so they can have someone saying my feet hurt. That was literally it, because that's the clue that makes Lisa realize who is So he shows but the paper showing

that he's basically hated by the town. Milhouse says, dads, take me to the batting cage, is going to teach me to be an umpire, which nothing, but then leaves him alone, runs off to the funeral home and just custom Millhouse delivering paper at the Simpson's house. So you're two weeks due, you have pay. It was weird, I feel episode. He says my feet are killing me, and then Lista realizes, oh my god, feet feet killing That's gonna be such a bubbies. That's how she came

to that conclusion. I don't know that she realizes the cast big shoes to fill. As you remember an episode, you probably remember Crusty gets busted from season one. That's how they catch such a Bob for framing Krusty because Homer stood on his foot and he says, our but Crusty a small feet,

he said, got big shoes to fill.

very slowly, gloating speed. That's right, gloating. I trying to remember what I liked that because it's just you watch a movie and it's like, just get it done. What are you gloating for? What are you talking about it? There's what he did to gloat to you. There's an audience watching. I love how the Incredibles did that, you know, took the piss out of that Ba saying, and he started monologuing, yes, listen, explains on the way this was good, as you were saying earlier.

He don't yet. In Circle of the Funeral over for ten minutes, and then Bart pretends that he's found a trapdoor doesn't work, and Bob's family arrives, and Bob turns it from gloating speed. Because of Simpsons arrife as well, Bob turns from gloating speed to kill him already, and then Homer stops him by doing what can you remember? His hobo ashes at him, unclaimed ashes, and this is so they say, they save Bart and Bhomer says he he's got to get over his fear of coffins. Now that is a

callback to Tennis the Menace. Remember the tennis episode, oh, the one yeah, with all the tennis players. Yeah, and of all the episodes, right, this is so bizarre to me. Right, So the kids said to me yesterday on to put the Simpsons on, I'm not sure. They picked Tennis the Menace. And then there's this call both at tennis and I'm like, what are the odds? Incredible? And they loved Tennis. They thought it was I'm just like, okay, cool, look that they

didn't know. They didn't grow up with the Simpson They have the nostalgia connection that they just enjoy any episode of the Simpsons. I thought, this is nice. We need to stub viewing the world through a child's eyes once again. Definitely, yes so and again know I mentioned Inside Out too on our on our South Part podcast yesterday as we're recording them. It's worth checking out because it's basically what it does. It reminds you as classic picks are reminding

you. You know, when you're an adult, you forget to sort of appreciate the little things like a rock. There's a rock there, the sun's setting. Just appreciated the clouds, like Ali goes, look at the clouds. I'm like, yeah, okay, cool, it's fucking incredible clouds. It's okay to appreciate little shit like that, you know. Oh god, yeah, No. I had a story but I won't tell. Okay,

but we all grow up, hopefully, lost of us don't unfortunately. But you know, if you grow up, but you can still be a child at heart, you know, maintain a child's wonder at the at the wonder of the world. Yeah. I watched light Year. It's the other the land. Isn't it a little It's not a kids movie at all? No, no, over Elliott, but but it is, but it's not Alliott watched it and I said, did you like? And he goes, yeah, Normally his super pumped come in the movies. It didn't. I can

tell he's a bit bored. Yeah. It's very it's very dark and gloomy. And well, certainly the first half, I mean that all that stuff with I mean spoilers for light Year, but I still don't even really spoilers. I mean to escape trying to escape from this planet, and you know, he loses like how many years, like ten four years every time he does a loop. Yeah. Yeah, so eventually his friend's gone. Yeah yeah. I thought initially it was like, oh that's actually this is kind

of moving in some ways. But the second half, where he's got the all new team, one of them is tigaway Tz doing the same old stick. It's like, that's the same old stick here. Yeah, And I was like, okay, I'm losing interest in this now. Initially I thought this isn't too bad, but it sorry to mention The Incredibles twice in like five minutes. It's like, this should be this should be more like The Incredibles, but then most movies should. I think light Year will be looked

upon more fondly in like ten years maybe. Yeah, you know it was good light Yeah that wasn't when you say it'll be looked upon favorably. And he's like, by me, that's it, Like, what are you talking about? But basically the bart here by taking out that was the reference to Tennis miss because in the episode, Bark gets locked in the coffin and home's watching it on picture and picture. Oh yes, that's trying to get out.

Apparently apparently it was a call back to that. Anyway, gets arrested and we can say, is you have the right to remain silent, but I hope you're not because it's a long way to the station, like you tipchat, Lisa explains that the coffin had room for feet while they by They're investing all that money for someone who was dead, and Bart says, you stick like my butt. I was like, who the fuck wrote that? What was that compared that to back me away eight toys? Whatever the fuck

is what is going on here? The only excuse that I can offer, the reason that I can offer, is that Bob Bart's nemesis is sober, both so articulate, so eloquent, and Bart can only reply with just the most childish school yard burns. Yeah, I guess, but it's still not funny. It wasn't funny at all. How does it? How's it the episodes with a celebration party, Bob birth out of the cake, SUTs ken everybody. It turns out to be a dream the family now or sharing a

sealer there for eighty seven years. I think it is anything like that. Yes, and they're all playing bridge, a card game of some kinds bridge, and but Snake hits them with three clubs. The joke's not funny and the bit is not sufficient. Yes, so one of the weaker Sociobob episodes. For sure. This was nowhere near the level of the Italian Bob wasn't even Cape fear. No, that's how I feel about that. Well, you like capeed like a rat bit, Yeah that's true. But Italian Bob,

but I'm doing my heel turn. Well it's normally on my baby face. The Italian Bob was really, really fun. I really enjoyed the Italian it was. Indeed, I'm a little annoyed they didn't bring back Maria Grazzi. It's probably a complete mispronunciation and butchering of that actor's name. And she didn't speaking this episode. Did she did not? Or we didn't have? Did Geno say something? Nothing shame but you did get the reunion of the core cast. It is to be some of reference to Fraser here. Who

voiced who voiced? What was the name? Dolores? And satellite Tress? I think yeah, should have Perry Gilpin in, Yeah, God rolls in or Babe new with and why didn't he have a dog? So just little things, the little things, just some some sort of Fraser reference. Was the actor dog named Eddie and the character named Moose? Or was it they were the other way around? That Eddie was the dog in the ship. Eddie was the dog and the dog but the dog actor was Moose? But

when did he passed away? For years ago. Now everyone's real sad. Yeah, I know another another victim, the Herald of Fenton. What do we learn, Bomber? What did you have for the episode? Is the Davis? We need commercials, we need television ads? Yes, like right now, Yes, the commercials. I mean they we had a really good ecosystem going. Yeah in terms of you know, you didn't necessarily have to pay attention to them, but they put money. My favorite saying no bucks,

no buck Rogers. This is the thing though, I talked about south By Studios on to you the other day. I said, Oh, he's to do is watching it? I want watch an ad Like that's the fucking same thing. Yeah, I'm make your mind out. I am larger contained multitudes. It's just I don't mind. I'm so used to that because we saw sometimes stream things through foxtail and they occasionally put like a thirty second AD in between whether the normally would be an AD break, And I'm like,

I don't mind this. Yeah, I get where you're coming from. I mean, admittedly, I do throw down fifteen dollars a month to get YouTube premium, so no AD. I do that because YouTube, I think for me, the kids canna be watching something on YouTube, I don't want ads

popping up the fright and center correct. And if I'm listening to music on YouTube, the most annoying interviews on YouTube is nothing more annoying for me watching listen to interviews in every five minutes, it's just an ad Ford fucking square space. True. The thing of it is now with television commercials, I'm so free to wear television because there's not as many because people are scanning through them. We've got that dreadful thing where you would think they would have to

make the ads more eye catching and interesting. Said, they're not. They're so ship there, they're so dull. Yeah, and I find now nicol and maybe it's just the way they operate the system on at ten plus whatever, but we stream have you been paying attention? Right? And then they put the ads on. It's like the saying three ads over and over and over again. Sometimes they play the same ad back to back. Yes, and that has a real negative impact for me. I'm thinking, this is

annoying me. I'm not gonna buy if I saw your ad once every commercial break, maybe, but back to back it's like get away from me, get away from you? And by the way, guys, the rest of this episode will be commercial free, fantastic. What did you learn from the Guy Davis New Name Championship? That's what we learned. Forward your names will be the current leaderboard stands at this mister Davis, can you remember whos number one? I don't think it was Philip was a Philip jas number one.

First position is Jared Hornby on nine points, Adamlehouse on eight points and second, and Clever Kyle and Phil Hawkins equal third on seven points. Take it away, okay, then one point goes too dearly debuted. Not bad. That is Talia Enriquez her first point for the season. Welcome back to the board. Good job Tellia. Two points for Bob the bewilder A man.

Jared Horne is climing further away, now eleven points. At the moment as it currently stands, he's now on eleven points, three clear of Adam Willhouse, who's on eight points second, and who gets the three points. We see what happens when we give three points to six feet blunder. That is Oh no, it's another newbie to the leaderboard. It is Brian Hughes. Well, I'm Brian hugh'sy Hughes. Pretty sure Brian is a big fan of the south Park podcast. I believe. I'm pretty sure he's always saying south

Park. That's that's my that's my thing, that's his jam, that's his jam. So he's just got three points. Well on, Brian, what a way to kick off, getting too leaboard three points well, straight out of the gate. So he's now somewhere three points with David Mott in the leaderboard, scattered down towards the bottom there, but first position now Jared Hornby three clear of the on top eleven points, Adam Morehouse on eight and second

and clever Kyle Phil Hawkins on seven points each in third position. I think film's ever going to get that j back. Well, he's four points behind now. I feel like this was the first time in a long while he's never had points. I reckon the bum hoole. The enus enis will be sort of like what's it called when your you're nervous, you clenched, clenched? Yeah, but oh shit, I was wondering where you were going this. I was like, I was like doing the visual of the anus.

I'm like, what does that mean? Butthole and aus a lot. Why, well, you know you mentioned it eating things later. That's true, salad fiend. I'll just let's just stop talking about that now. An episode that you know I probably would have ever review this, reviewed this again. The kids will eventually at some point, assuming but it was a terrible test. It was a week episode for Bob in My thing is when you've had things like Cape Fear and you know, the old ones in the nineties,

it's hard. The Italian Bob was like two seasons ago, and it wasn't too bad that I pretty good, really enjoyed the Italian Bob. So this one was just a bit of a step down for sure. But the next episode of season nineteen we shall be reviewing will be Eternal Moonshine of The Simpson Mind. Fantastic episode. All right, I remember this it's a Christmas episode, but it's not Christmas e but I remember the ending being a great payoff. Well, we're going to be talking about it pretty soon, Yes,
