So maybe we should just quit. This operation has cost over fifty million dollars since lunch. US government policy is very clear, never back down, never admit a mistake. That's why we won over half the wars we fought. Four finger Discounted, Welcome to four figure discap, the podcast that certainly belongs on frontline Infantry. This week we hit a review episode hjb F two one. It is gi annoyed grunt. I am dando oh and I'm going sorry.
I was distracted. Those too busy drawing a wang on mamat you got to drawing wings. I'm very basic. I'm just very just like line line assume shape at the end. Yeah, two circles and a U shape. Yeah, I don't have the skills of this. What's his name? Seth No, who's from? Yeah? From super Bad? Joona Hill Hill from super Bad. Yeah, apparently serious dicks in that movie. Yeah, apparently it was either Seth's brother or Evan Goldberg, Set's co writer who drew all
the dicks. Okay, he's been cantled. Apparently hasn't he? Seth Rog Jenna Hill apparently very controlling relationships and yeah, using therapy speak to justify sort of being a little bit controlling. I don't know. You had a lot of guys saying no, girl was just you know, staying what he likes in relationships. Guys aren't allowed to do that. Women saying no, you're not allowed to do that anyway. M fun fun fact from the Super Bad
commentary. Apparently they had to get an adult with a very childlike hand drawing the actual dis because you could not have an actual child drawing those penises or in proximity to those pictures of penises, couldn't just like c G I a small hand or something. This was two thousand and eight. I probably would have looked like the Rockets and Tom Scorpion one of the worst ces you guys ever, so terrible. But apparently they got like a young woman to do
it. But I mean, like shit, yeah, over the age of eighteen, but with sort of hands that would pass for that of a young boy. It was a hand model, it was. George was a hand model for a while in Sidefeld and Joey I believe was a hand model as well. David Coveany was a hand model in Zoolander. He was indeed, yeah, yeah, like a hand model. Yeah, yeah, mine neither. I was looking at my hands the other day, and you know they say that the hands are the real indicator of like how old you're getting.
I mean, you can do all manner of imagine if you actually done some manual labor as well. Holy oh Jesus, that look like bloody, pretty kuger hands. You know, you can do all mann of stuff to your face and get you know, botox and whatever. But you look at the hands like are they wrinkly? Yeah, old fucker. And yeah, I was look at my hands going, oh my god. So this question was to have in high school'd be like, look at your fingernails, right, and you just did that? Well no, I was sort of showing and
I was looking at the back of my head. So you're doing the friends thing where it's like if you do it, like you hold up your hand and you're like looking at it, or do you fold them in on yourself? Look? Is that a friend's thing? Yeah? Yeah, they because I think Chandler actually did it looking at the back of his hand as opposed to folding his folding it. Yeah, I always got that. Yeah,
I never do that. Yeah, I think I probably do the that, which means I'm not there's anything wrong with that, Panzy by Very two thousand. Indeed, speaking of this episode, not good. Yeah, you'll notice that we're not talking about GI don't too much. I refuse to call a g I annoyed grunt. I hate the way they do it in the titles when they say it's so clever it was colever the first time or not anymore. Yeah, it's just dope. It's dope. It's because they always write
it. They don't write dope in any of the scripts. To this day, it still says annoyd grunt. Okay, well we'll here on a good thing, stick to it, I guess. But this is not a good thing. Need it was? This episode not great? No, can I explain why I didn't like it? Please do it. This is exactly even
they're doing this episode here. It's the opposite of what they did last week with the Treos of Horror, with the end segment where it's like compared to the Iraq War, right, where they raised the issue of the Iraqi War and whether it was right or wrong, they didn't do it in a way that was too on the nose. This was just so blunt and to the point where it's like, ah, enough already, yes, you guys brought
a sledgehammer to a don't do a satire party. I don't know. Something I was thinking about when watching the episode this episode was I don't know what I dislike more something that brings nothing to the table, or something that brings something kind of ship to the table and things that's brought something great, which is what this episode did. You know you basically brought a pack of gum to the potlug dinner and said, here go get it's his make contribution.
It's like, thanks for the pk fucker. Yeah, so the great rocks up with a bag of Dorito's. I feel like Georgia whenever George stands here is like, you know, like he's bringing the packet of ding dongs and the pepsi to the party. You know, people are gonna be coming up and say, I'm glad you brought the pepsi. Yeah, but the thing is like, you know everyone has to bringing sliders, and that's true,
it would suck, and this episode kind of sucked. Well, it's just it's it felt really I hate to keep using the word lazy, but it felt lazy and like there wasn't a lot of depth into the Okay, it's the idea of like, okay, let'stgeous, let's still a thing about Americas forever wars and how we gets sort of you know, how America gets bogged into these conflicts and never can find their way out of them recently. Okay, yeah, that's fine, that's actually not a bad idea, but you've
got to do a little bit more than that. Then on top of that, it's got the thing where it's explaining jokes, like you know, with there's a bit with Krusty and he's like, oh, well I got to able to get a Foxhead jacket and put on this panda suit. Now I've got to put on panda slippers, oh and Mokey gloves. And then on top of that he's got to say what is he saying, Yeah, I'm I'm a terrible person or something. Yeah, yeah, we're real classic, like, yeah, we get that. You didn't need to explain it.
We're not stupid. I'm kind of stupid, but I'm not that stupid. In fact, you make me feel more stupid when you do that kind of shit. Yeah. Yeah, So just a lot of really obvious gags in this and a lot of really sledgehammer subtle satire, and yeah, that's never
good combination. It's funny. I get moments like that whenever we're watching shows like we always watched Brain Dead cop shows like White Collar and stuff like that, and it's like, today we're gonna be targeting this guy, and then someone in the team's like, yeah, he's the guy that did this and did this and did this, Like everyone knows this. Why you repeat it? Oh, because the audience doesn't know. You've got to have some degree
of exposition. But that what separates the whet from the chaff, and how how cleverly you do that? Yeah, yeah, if you've just got I think one of the terms that you used used in writers' rooms is as you know, Bob. That's what they know, as you know Bob, the ef it rolls around the sun. And I think they actually had that, you know, the movies like The Day After Tomorrow and Independence Day and all
that. They're really bad at that and because they've suposally got all these really really smart people, but the audience doesn't know about, you know, the things that they're talking about. So they have someone explaining to like in the in the dafters, which I actually really enjoy I haven't really watched since someone to to watch it. I just remember the wolves looking shit. I always been at the wolves looking tell they're as bad as the Rock and Scorpion King.
But this guy's like the head of the U. S meteor Meteorology Bureau and the heroes explaining something like, well, you know this is gonna this is what results in our temperate weather in the US, and the guy says we all know that. It's like, I'm like, we didn't know that. Now we do know that, but at least that we know that this guy's smart. It's always really awkward and wed the hand them of forming like this is the worlds old man Johnson's hound. Well, I'm aware I hand
it to you. I have actually found myself saying in realizing what am I looking at you? But not in the room. No, actually that's true. There'll be times I sort of pick up what am I looking at it? Do you ever have conversations with yourself? We'll not conversations, but just like now all the time do you all the time? Yeah? In what way? What do you what do you converse about? Oh? Just yeah, I'm sort of idiot head or out loud, no, out loud, Okay, I love it. I love the sound emoental just sort of.
I think it sort of helps me articulate ideas that I might be, Yeah, that I'm floating around upstairs, and if I sort of throw them out into the into the world, it's like that actually didn't sound as nuts as I thought of it, Or if I want to say it, then it's like I'm going to find the best way to articulate this. Yeah, I'm explaining it to myself anyway. I'm like, that's it. I'm an idiot, right, And if I'm reading a book, I'll find I'll get to the end of a page I'm like, I read it, but I didn't
read it. I find if I read it something out, I absorb it far easier than I'm just reading it in my head. Let me tell you one of the funniest things that ever happened to me, Well, not funniest, but weirdest and most kind of like, oh, there's a meaning to the world. It started this new book, and for some reason I felt like reading it out loud. I mean, I was enjoying the way the writer was laying out their pros. I'm going to read this out loud.
I think it'd sound nuts if I was reading it. After a couple of pages, the writer wrote in the book, how good it is to read something out loud. And I'd never read this beoo before and I had no idea that this was coming. It was like, what the fuck. It's like, it's weird some things that happened. Yeah, but I sometimes now I've got I'm reading Joe Sali's book at the moment and the kids were around. I was like, I can't read when there's this noise in the house.
I have to read in silence. And then I read it in silence and I was like, I'm still not reading this. I need to read it out loud. I read it lad a couple of page and I was like, ah, yeah, that's what he was talking about. Yeah,
so there's that. And then on top of that, Sorry, just to go back to, you know, things that I sort of had an issue with with this episode, just like I don't know how long ago joined the Navy was probably a fair few seasons ago, but that episode made such an impression and it's like, you're just going to sort of trot out a lot
of the same ideas. I know that you know you're going to repeat yourself over time, particularly if you've been going for as long as the sentence as But yeah, this felt just kind of like plus Simpson Tide came even before that one where they joined them when he home was in the Navy, but this was literally the same jokes his hair getting cut off. I was just like, I've seen all this before, Yeah, and more entertainingly. So yeah, that last act of them just invading the springfield, I was like,
ah, I get the joke. I got it ten minutes ago, but you just it's just just felt the same joke over and over again. Yeah. Anyway, it was not good. The other thing for me was, so we had Trees of Horror last week, right, so they kind of copied the story of the theme of the whole Iraqi war. There were, but we've had we take episode three, episode five. They both started the exact same way in that. Episode three started with them at the mall,
but it was all broken down. There was nothing left. This one here one episode later and it's fine again. My very first note, so the mall is operational again. Okay, literally, the next episode. Yeah what, Yeah, I mean, god, at least make it a different mall, you know, have it be the dirt Mall, would be the market Square of Springfield. I just I just very geelong reference. I think we discussed it on our review we have, but go back and ever listen.
I was just I could not believe. I'm like, okay, I'm I know it's been broken up by a treeouse of horror, but still, these are two episodes like Cannon episodes. We say Cannon quotation marks, but Cannon episodes back to back once they both start the exact same way at the mall, except in one episode it's gone and one episode it's thriving. I was like, this is just is it lazyiness? What is it? Is it? No? I just don't care. Yeah either, whatever the reason
it's disappointing. Tell you what wasn't disappointing in this episode. Kiefer Sutherland. Yeah, he's always awesome. He is. Indeed, you're going to love the twenty four episode where he played where he plays himself excellent. Yeah, excellent because he's not himself Jack. Yes, indeed, but clearly having a lot of fun with this. I mean Keith's dad. Donald was. Everyone
knows Donald Sutherland. He's a pointing guy. He's a pointing guy. Yeah yeah, pointing guy from the end of the Invasion the Bod Yeah yeah, yeah, yes. But he has one of the most lovely voices. Yeah, he melliflous. He's been on The Simpsons. Know who he was? Yeah he was. He exposed the horrible truth about Gibt Springfield. Oh he didn't expose it. He tried to hide it. That's oh correct, Yes, yes, yes, you're you're banned from this museum, you and your
children and your children's children for three months. Lovely, lovely voice, fantastic actor, and keeper is much the same. You know. I've got a lot of time for Keith. So I was rewatching, you know, a few eighties movies not long ago, and rewatched The Lost Boys, and it was one of those movies that I was sort of like when it came out.
I was a teenage movie snob and I was kind of like this, a bit fleshy and a bit this came out when eighty eighty seven, I think, yeah, I would have been even twenty, right, none, I would have been like seventeen or eighteen. Yeah, uh And just h it's fun. It's pretty good for I rewatched it recently. It's kind of rocks. This is actually I mean yeah, I mean, you're you've become
that guy that everyone complains about just for a different decade of films. So you're like, oh, the millennials now they go back to films from twenty years ago, and you know it was actually good Scooby dude, and you're like, you know, it was actually good Lost Boys, So I paid no attention to me, but yeah, rewatching Lost Boys like this actually kind of rocking. And never I've never watched it, haven't it. No, it's kind of good. Yeah, Okay, I've just never been a vampire
guy. Okay, this has got vampires in so maybe it's not your thing. But you know, Keifer is the lead Lost Boy and yeah, you look at me, Yeah you're kind of you're pretty fucking cool. You're very charismatic, and yeah, your eyes are just sort of drawn to him, and he's just rocking the best mullet ever in this really cool effidence. Yeah, Keifer Suttling, that guy tends to deliver from on no stand. He's a real like a complete party animal. Really, yeah, I mean the
guy likes a drink. Apparently he's kind of like the leam niece and the TV shows for Nicolo and like we see his Facebook, we're gonna watch this show. Well that's the thing. I mean, I remember it being a huge deal when in like we're making a show called twenty four and Keifer Sutherlin's in the lead. Is like, wow, I thought he only did movies. Doing TV that's great. Yeah, I mean, well that's a good get for twenty four. And then he rocked it on. It had the
cool novelty niche of it being twenty four hours. Yeah exactly. Yeah, Yeah, I remember like when that first happened, everyone thought it was the coolest thing ever. Sure did. Yeah, but he's done what Designated Survivors since? And rabbit Hole as well? Yeah, we were or two others. We watched both of those. I enjoyed rubber Hole. The thing what
Designated Survival was they didn't end it. Okay, It's like I think it got canceled and they never like resolved an issue and they brought it back for like one extra season and this wasn't the same, And yeah, nothing worse than that. If I was running a TV studio or yah TV yeah studio, yeah, or something like that. I would ensure it's like, oh, the show's not rating. But if it's ended on a cliffanger, okay, you get like a ninety minute movie to wrap it up, the special.
Yeah, all right, here's the money, go write it, wrap everything up. It puts you in good faith with like the fans and just people going forward us. Yeah. Yeah, I mean one of my I'm sure I've mentioned on the show in the past, but one of my favorite shows in the late nineties was the show called Now and Again, where this everyday family man who'd been killed in in Excellent his consciousness was transferred into the body of this super soldier. They like, we've got the body, but
we don't have a spirit and a soul and a brain for it. So we're going to put this guy in it. And how no sounds fiction? Okay, And you know he's got this absolutely you know, Superman superhero body, but he's still got the brain and sensitivity of this middle aged suburbanite who's still in love with his wife and kids. And you know, it's like you can't go over you can't ever interact with them. That's got to ruin the experiments, but they don't know no, no, and he's yeah,
they just know he's dead. But who's this guy? Who's this young, you know, buff guy who's trying to sort of vaguely his way into our lives. And it ended on this absolute clifhang, and I'm like, I can't wait to see what happens neck now and again canceled. I'm like, oh, you motherfuckers they went and they never resolved. That sucks. Yeah, yeah, but it was such a good series. Maybe you should write your own finale. I think that's how a lot of things actually, female
lawyer having lots of sense. You'll know we are talking about anything, but gee, I know we should probably talk about it. Yeah, but we have point at Keith of someone. But the thing is, I just thought this episode just felt very much of the same same, just not done as good with the whole Homer joining the Navy, but this is the army. They even't referenced that episode in this in this one here and March points out, no, you've joined the Navy before, and things like that. Nothing
really I found all that funny in this episode. I'm sure that there were one or two bits and pieces in there. Well, let's get to them. He my favorite. So what were your favorite moments? I enjoyed Squeaky Voice of teens line about the shoe measurers for measuring show. Excuse me, I'm gonna ruin my first tribut question. He's now an only a Squeaky Voice team, he's mister Friedman. I'm like, why did you name him? This guy doesn't need a name? Yeah, because what can you say?
The boss? That's a good point, our manager. This is one of those things where it's like, I don't know, Yeah, you'd think there'd be a safety net in the room going, let's not give him a name? Kind when they when they reveal the name of comic book guy, he doesn't he's comic book guy, doesn't know. I don't want to know his name. It makes him human. Then he's not the butt of our jokes anymore. Yeah, but I did like that he was Yeah, that it
was measuring shoes and nothing else. Yeah, I thought that's pretty funny. What else I'm sure? Oh? I really enjoyed the most was the Loney Tunes parody, which doesn't really make much sense, but I just just a visual of it. I thought it was quite funny. But but then even then, it's kind of like I suppose for some audiences you're going to have to have that's all folks having come up on the on the monitors. But it's like, I think most of us would have known that it's a kids
probably wouldn't have. Well, that's when you know, if you're well, if kids are watching it by themselves, they're going to go, what's that's all? Folks mean, if they're watching it with someone a bit older, they might go, oh, well, cartoons in my day were called looney tunes, and that's how they used to sign off at the end. So back in mind, I learned something for the kids would never say for me. Grew up in the nineties, we didn't have that's all, folks.
It was like the closing, like doom, Dundurn, what what are your We've we've got the we've talked about it before that The dog, Sit boy, good dog? Yeah? What are your your favorite ones besides Fox? Is like the iconic one? Yeah? I mean I do like the Grazie films, one that's you do yeah, yeah, And I associated with TV shows. I watch the episode without hearing that at the end. The trist is a try star. I think it's Castle Rock, that's right, Yeah,
with the lighthouse and everything. That's great. Uh. David Kelly, who did a lot of law shows like Boston Legal and l A Law. I think he had one where with like his grandma was watching hockey and the puck came out of the screen and hit hit her on the head and like you stinker, Oh you stinker. Yeah that was Duke Carrey show, I reckon. Oh okay, you stinker. I remember. I remember it from a lot of David productions. I'm sure there are others that I like.
My man Stephen jknewll maker of I don't he made Magnum p I, but he made a lot of cop shows in the eighties, very prolific. And you see him sort of at his typewriter bashing shit away and then he sort of rips the paper and throws it over his shoulder and it becomes the sea and Stephen J. Can now they take that off in the Simpsons when Simpsons the writer. That's right. Yeah, So yeah, that's one of my favorites. And one I was like that dude looks cool because he was like
a middle aged dude. But he had like he sort of looked like the ultimate writer of mid level thrillers for dads. Yeah, he's absolute. So many of these. I can afford my own helicopter. So that's yeah, that's what he looked like. I thought that would be a cool life. A video popped up on social media this week where it's just all those bits back to back to back, and I was like, oh my heart, I need the link. It's just like, you know, ninety seconds long.
But the man of Nostolgia for it, hold and ship. Speaking of Stagia, I'm thinking of another thing that I did, Like they sort of paint as a joke or as a as a form of torture that Homer has to go live with Abe Simpson and all the others at the retirement castle. Am I maybe I'm I'm already old, I'm getting older. But I'm like someone bringing soup and someone singing songs where they work, and name it of the songs it was judged duty in the afternoons. Fucking rat, What are
you complaining about? Home? This sounds awesome. Pj's all day, pants around my belly? What's you talking about? This is bad? What are so we're just looking at the patrons. I'm going down down to please stop saying what are you talking about? Honestly, God, guys, every single time he doesn't he puts his hands up. Yeah. Do. It's like when you do his Zoidberg and when you do so Yeah. That were my
favorite bits. I mean yeah. I also liked when Kiefer Sutherland is sort of driving through the streets of Springfield lugi his line, come and join the

He is quitting the shoe shop to work where oh, It's jolly something, isn't it. It is Jolly to Marla, Jolly to Marlay. What is that? Tomale is it's looking up? I know Tomale the hot to Marley. It's our lovely Wives and that's correct hot tomorrow. Look look up Jolly to Marley.
Is it an actual place? Because look at some one looking up Jolly Tomrley. Springfield Mexican restaurant. Okay, it's in Springfield as well, but Tamaley itself is like a it's only in Springfield. Pretty local reference there. Cool, there's many Springfields in America. But anyway, Indeed, Mexican on one sort of like food that I've never really been huge. I don't like spicy food and I always feel unwell after it. The same with Chinese food.
I think it's all the MSG they're put in Chinese food. Yeah, I mean, I don't mind Chinese food, but it's not really my go to. We're more tie now, whereas I will definitely go for Mexican. I love Mexican. Yeah, Mexican graffiti was like the fun place when I was like, everyone goes to Mexican Graffiti. Now it's just like that's like the poor man's Mexican food restaurant now a little bit, yeah, I mean,
but it's always been there. It was plus, it was always you know, it was somewhere you went when you were like a group of seventeen year olds ago and have for dinner. Yeah, I'm going to say it's a bunch of crazy crap on the walls, you know. But nowadays and I'll go to Zambrero if I want my takeaway brito, pay twice as much and get half the amount of food. Probably the cat. When we went to Mixing Graffiti about two years ago, Nicolo and I, she got really sick
after eat. But I think it was a bit of heat stroke as well, because we went to that amazing things out in bull Lap area where it's like amaze outside. It's near the Mini Gold that's we went there after eating Mexican and we didn't bring a drink bottle and it was hot. That's a bad combo. I don't play Mixing Graffiti for that at all. But I remember like ordering like a brito and it was massive. I love a massive
Breta. I mean when Lunar in California a few months ago, our friend Claire, who was hosting us took us to this, Yeah, placed by the side of those Tacorea called my Familia, and you know, it looked kind of a bit shabby. I swear to god, had the best goddamn burrito. It was fantastic, you know. And they kept bringing like little things of guacan chips to the top, no mass so yeah, I mean it was very good to have authentic Californian mix. Yeah, that is awesome.
What was on the brito? Oh, godly, it had just about everything else. I mean, you know, had your beans, your lettucey tomato, you pick out a gallo, a bunch of guaking, there's our cream cheese. I think I had chicken. Holy shit, that's a lot of food that was delicious. So good. We're having Tucos for dinner. Yes, one of the things that my kids will actually eat. Holy you
eat anything. She doesn't hit that agent where she's Yeah, but alliot, it's just like I eat this, I ain't eat this if it doesn't start with Mick something. He hadn't eating it. Oh, he's turning into yeah, like you said the other day, he's getting a bit sort of stroppy. Yeah, well he's always been like this though, he's been fussy with his food. It's so much like attitude. But he's just like, I don't want this, I'm not hungry. Well, I have nuggets, though,
nog you are for a nugget? Kids like nugget nuggets and chips is like the best thing when you're a kid. Mate. Kids love nugs, Yeah, they do, indeed, so adults. But I also love trivia. So hit me with another question. Hit me another one of yours. According to Millhouse, where is a town where cool kids can be found? Oh? That's my next question. Dearborn Michigan. Dearborn Michigan. Correct, So hit me another one of yours. You're still online. The bart statue
that largest holding is labeled what I remember she was holding it? Yeah? Hm, No, it's called the Cower Bunker Kids, Cower Bunker Kid. Yeah, you see another gig that doesn't really go anywhere, or a bit that doesn't go anywhere. And sometimes I don't mind those where it's like it's all that about this start very much just killing time while await in the movie. Yeah, it's like, why are you holding statues like this? Why have you? Yeah? This episode wasn't it at all. It didn't make
me angry. It was just like, oh, what am I watching here? Yeah? Yeah. People sometimes say it's like, oh, that's ninety minutes of my life I'll never get back, and this was honestly, yeah, twenty something minutes of my life I'll never get back. I'm like, I gotta been eating a nose burrito. Yeah yeah. I final question then, that you haven't stolen? What time did I go to the reservoir? Oh, I've written down a time, but I think it might be something
different. Eleven o three? No, what time was it? Eight pm? Eight pm? Okay? When did they say the reason? Oh? Yeah? Like oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeh yeah, that's right. I was trying to be a very sneaky squirrel. There's a bit during the Looney Tunes bit where Homer is in front of like a grandfather clock or something. Ah okay, and I was like, Dannel will never get And then it turns out I didn't even understand what the question that I read there? Have you got time for one more from me? For it? Let's
do it? Okay? What is Homer's major malfunction? He cares too much? And I was like, does he eh, I'm pretty sure established it. He's a prick. Yeah, and I guess it's the joke that he doesn't actually care too much, but still don't remind me, what are you talking about? God, we did it in fucking fandom. I didn't realize. By the way, Maurice LaMarsh was a voice on this as well, because he did the previous one, Chess of Horror Awes and Wales, but
he was also the voice of the assistant Colonel. Doesn't sound like Maurice LaMarsh. It's usually a very like calculine and awesome Wells kind of voice. But yeah, this was very different anonymous. Yeah. But the original air date of g I Annoyd Grunt was November twelve, two thousand and six. It was written by Daniel Chun and directed by Nancy Kruz. The chalkboar gag we are not all naked under our clothes and the couch gag The Simpsons are on
a car wash and they don't have a good time, do they? No, wait forever to it did go for a little while. Yeah, have you ever been in a car wash? But not in a car That would be silly, It would be, wouldn't it. I saw a video prop up on my feed literally this morning. I think it's weird that you asked me this. I was like, two girls get trapped in the car wash, and it's like they clearly jumped out of the car thinking it'd be funny,
and they're not trapped. They're jumping in front and like pretending like they're Oh my god, I like, you brought this upon yourself. Yeah, and you are not trying to get out of the situation. You are encouraging it. And you're jumping in front of the soap and it's like six minutes long of them and it's going my coven and bubbles sixt minutes. I was like, oh my god, what is happening to this world? And then
you watch g I Doll. Yeah, exactly right. But there was a kicks off at the mall, which has been refurbished all new, and it's all back to the pace of seven days. Yes, exactly right, and and I've just got here. Didn't we just have an intro when it was abandoned? Anyway, Millhouse wants to go see the mannequin. Then a crush on at Banana Republic but thinks it's beautiful as well, which doesn't go anywhere. That's the end of that one. I don't know. I guess it's
an exciting incident to get them to the all. But what a weird inciting incident? What? Yeah, just go the mall ah. I mean, I suppose it's fun that you know Millhouses, he's unlucky in love and all this kind of stuff, and yeah, not great. But they say the bullies, and they think this is their chance to take advantage and bully them because their employees, and you can't do anything to the customer. Customers always
right. Yeah, but they didn't really think this planned through because there's going to be a time when they're off the clock. Yeah. I don't ask questions. That doesn't make sense, that's question. Don't put logic into these story quote red Little Media one of my favorite sciences. Don't ask questions. Just to consume product, then it can started for the next product. That's the thing. There's going to be many episodes in this season, I reckon
where the branding of Who Cares comes into the equation. This is gonna be one of those ones where they probably would have asked a question about this, that and the other Who Cares? We've got a movie to make. They're pulling on a Matt Selmon, they're pulling a salmon. Looks like I pulled a salmon. But mister Friedman, the Squeaky Voice team now has a name. He is their boss. And he says, you know, you can't
do anything to the employees, but Mill has has been douchebags. I mean, the bully has been beaten up. So they kind of deserve it. Yes, And Friedman says he leaves for Jolly Tomalley. That's sort of it for funny reasons, like because they pay more and my money my mother needs the money. I was like, oh, yeah, that's not a gag, that's just a line, you know. I mean, we've talked to
Little Past about some episodes. They've got joke density. It's like, oh, they keep on coming thick and fast, and these are coming thin and slow. This felt like they went with like the specscript that the base ye all added to it. The I keep mixing up George Meyer and Schwartzwelder where they're talking about it's what's wild. I do. Yeah, I do the ship draft, and then I get to rewrite it and turn it into a fun drafts like you got us One's World the first draft. Yeah, even
a Swartzweld first draft was much better than this probably was. Yeah, but he leaves for Jolly Tomiley, as we said, and he's rule for not waiting on the customer's leaves with him. And we see the boys now tied up in the window with the shoelaces. The Army's what do you call these guys? Just the recruiters. Yeah, they entrup the teenagers, idle teens at one o'clock intercepting in three two s up. Guys heard the new rapsd Yo, I don't know what I did more hip hop, krunk or serving
my country. You guys hitting on us, No, man, we just want to talk to you about something near and dear to us. But being gay close the Army because of exciting current events. The Army needs new members, new members who want to earn money for college. And see, you're part of the world that tourists never go to. Don the Army have to fight in wars, not wars, global struggles. You guys like globes. Let's go, dude, damn it. Even the dumbest teenagers and the dumbest
town and the dumbest state no better than they joined the Army. Yeah, I mean they're obviously playing this up, but I mean, this was a pretty big deal in the in the mid two thousands or early two thousands. It's like, we need to shore up the numbers, and they were trying to appeal to the youth. Yeah, so there was a lot of recruiting going on. Yeah, I mean, of course they're playing it of the
comic purposes, like hey, who's into hip hop? But yeah, I mean I think there was a fair bit of trying to be down with the kids. Yeah, they're very anti army the Simpsons, right, Daniel Chinese anyway, whoever wrote this episode, because like being gay close. Yeah, it's like they just really they didn't pull it. They just went crazy, didn't they Eide. It's just so on the nose where it like it wasn't
clever. None of this was clever. But I felt like the end of Trios of Horror last week was clever in the way they sort of like linked it to Iraq, right, But this here just felt like, Ah, we get the fucking joke. You know, you don't like the war? Can we move on? I'm watching this show to get away from real world fucking problems. You know. An occasional joke is fine, but a whole
episode of this just felt like way too much. If you're gonna, you know, take aim at this kind of target, you know, you come with the King, you better not miss. As they say. Yeah, I was going to ask you, though, what's your thoughts when you walk through like the mail or the mall in town, the westfield, whatever, and you see these people trying to sell ship, It's like do you go turn around? Do you walk around them, or do you alway something?
I just get the stare and like I'm fixated on this point right here. Ignore and I'm still terrible. Hey buddy, Hey buddy, You're like, you know they're talking to you. You're just like, nah, I will depending on who they are and how they present and can't today, mate, Sorry you speak it. I've shipped myself. I'm gonna try that next time I have ship myself. It's like you'd sort of start doing a little walls.
I'm turtling Prairie, got to go that. But the good thing is when you have a kid, he can news them as excuse I should have pants made, changing nappy or mum's waiting for her with a nappy bag. And then I was like, no worries, mate noes and you return like ten seconds like you said, you go and change nappy. I'm real good at it. The thing is, when I like to them get around them, I try my best to make sure I'll never go into that area off.
I don't want to be called out as a liar, particularly you know when they're they've probably got the moral high ground because magnific I see him again. But it's like, hey, do you want to help people with heart disease? Like I guess, but not today. How much have you donated? I'll match what you donated. I'm doing eating my time. That's true. I don't care disease. Yeah, but yeah. So basically, they're trying to recruit the bullies here. It's not working, so they decide to
go younger and it cats with them at the school. I did like the fact that they sort of explained this by Skinner setting it up because he's form of sergeant things like that. But even he's just like I no, no, I'm not going there. No. But the kids taking it back the whole sort of like trying to pitch the army to the kids was pretty funny. How many of you like violent video games. How about it? You know us a video game, but it was real. This guy, this
guy's a legend. And they showed the video of the various villains getting shot, including Jason Foroyes. Yeah, and a deadly hurricane and the American leaders now in a rock band and the Army. It's everything you like. They encourage them to pre enlist because they're too young to sign up now for America's next unresolvable conflict. I means we're getting revealed that was skinn of the Helps in a month, but then tells margin Homer what Homer, I son joined
the Army. Big deal. By the time Bart's eighteen, We're going to control the world. We're China, right. But Lisa, she's now in PJ even this, I'm just like she's eight. I don't know. This episode was just ship. It was shit. We'll get their crusty gag with the baby pans and the monkey mittens classic. Yeah. It's like, yeah, yes, yes, we're out at the Army recruitment center and suicidals are welcome, as it says out the front, and Homs like saying, can
you please get rid of Bart? Don't let him and roll he's too young. They say, fine, but they realize I can convince Homer. So basically he's a When I say to him, he's like, oh, I don't want to be gone for too long on a big target like you, you'll be home soonder. Then later you're playing on his masculinity as well, And I was like, oh, sounds like me implying that Marge wears the pants in the family and all that. So it's a way for home and
reclaimed his masculinity and stuff like that. Is this a whole lot of I mean, there's interesting ideas, but poorly executed. I mean, I just don't give a ship. I don't want this rubbed in my face. I don't know. I feel like the Simpsons when needs to do this kind of thing, they do it in a far more less on the nose entertaining funny
way. In a funny way. Yeah, this wasn't funny anyway. So and another problem was too in Simpson time when he joined the navy, a lot of like the Springfieldians joined with him, right with this one here, we like Cletus and Homer and like a bunch of fucking nobodies. I was like this, what, Yeah, and Rainy a Wolfcastle. Yeah for one line, I mean, and also why yeah, I've enlisted to do movies. I'm like, why why are you doing it this way? Yeah?
Why are you going through basic? What's going on this? Yeah? I don't know. Let us basic. So Homer then leaves for the army and he makes Maggie cry, which I'm assuming you would have loved seeing kids cry. I love it, but it's just it was kind of sad. He's just like like, like, so, Homer's doesn't work anymore. He listened to the army. He's just leaving the family behind. What making his kids cry? And yeah, and just the what was the whole thing that he
was saying. It's like, oh, you won't yeah, that's right, you won't let petrol get that expensive? Will more than a hundred dollars? Yeah, one hundred cents a gallon or something like that. Yeah. They arrive at Fort Clinton, not that Clinton. And Homer says, you know, what is it not his fault? What's his big major male fas malfunction? Yeah, which is a reference to Full Metal Jacket. What is your major malfunction? That's two movies and one that one isn't it that we discussed
before the first half is the first half is fucked up. Yeah, yeah, and the second half is kind of forgettable. It's it's like you just turned it off after the first half. It kind of is. There's this meme going around. You've ever seen that. There's that meme where I don't know if it's from Sinbad or Roaderldorado, but someone's got a whole lot of swords at their throat. No, but fucking a vision it though. Yeah. But the prompt question is is what's your opinion on such and such that
gets you like this? And one was like, what's your unpopular movie opinion that gets you like unpopular opinion? Yeah, and you know some people say, oh no, Godfather three is the best of the trilogy or some and someone said, second half a film full metal Jack is better than the first. Everyone's like, Gill is the second half it doesn't end with go Pile blowing his brains out. Yeah, okay, but but yeah, if you have never seen that movie, watch the first half at least. Yeah.
I mean it does set the bar really high for like leak, yeah, terrific insults. Yeah, but it is very bleak. Indeed, War as hell. Do you actually see him shoot himself or was it cut away? I think you see Hi shoot himself. Okay, yeah, spoiler for Full Metal Jacket. But speaking of people shooting themselves, I've noticed Twitter lately because of the water that's going on. There's no like restrictions on the videos on Twitter, Like I'm sure through my feet, I'm like, I don't want
to see this ship. Yeah, Elon's sucking up like like have you seen videos people getting shot in the water? And I was like, why is this in my feet? I think that's suggested for you. I'm like, why what are you talking about? I think I said to you that I saw, Yeah, and it pertains particularly to the Israel Hamas. At the moment, there was like footage of someone with the hoe yeah, well GoPro on their head and looks like they were using a garden how to try and
behead someone. I think the person was already dead and they were like I'm going to come up there with his garden home and they like whacking into this person's neck. Now, the footage was so shitty that it's kind of like I can't tell if this is manufactured, And luckily I can't really it's not. And this person so shit with a gardener that they're not really backing the neck too. Sighting is clearer than this video. True Alien Autopsy has been
a cinematography than this. But at the same time, I was like, even if this is not real, the proximity to current events and all this kind of stuff is just tasteless. So, you know, I don't know.
We used to be we used to make things in this world, and now Elon Musk is just fucking up social media because the other thing is I mean Twitter used to be, for all its faults, when you had situations like this, it was really a good source of information because people you know, on the ground would be able to say, this is what it's actually like. I go to Twitter. Now, well not so much anymore, but when I want to know information of what's happening right now, I wouldn't
go to the news websites. I go to Twitter. Yeah, yeah, it's training, and then you sort of get a little bit more information, yeah, to find out like what's actually happening, Oh this is training. Okay, yeah you're right, but yeah I was. I was just scrolling through last night. It's like a guy with like blows his head off, and I was like, I was like, why did that pop up? Yeah? What is happening? Is happening? All I look up is wrestling
pages and Simpson's pages. Why is that suggestion? For me? All I look up is scarcely clad cars players? Exactly right? Am I getting this? Yeah? It doesn't They have no idea what's going on? But yeah, so basically they've completed the basics before that, though, they do their training. So he gets caught snowflake because the reference to Snowball. I believe in Full Mental Jacket there's an African American guy who gets called Snowball as an
ironic name anyway, so home and then gets what's the joke here? Where he gets all the benefits of being a douchebag so he has he gets to eat donuts and gets a foot rub because he's no good. Yeah, I've missed the joking that may have been a thing from Full Metal Jacket as well, where Gomer Pile sucks up but everyone else gets punished which makes them hate him, which makes them hate him. Yeah, okay, and it's supposedly you know, meant to like they don't want to, so I'll work harder
and try to become good. But yeah, and I think that actually does happen for a while. After they beat the shit out with the soap, he becomes like pretty damn good with his rifle, but then too good with his rifle. That's it takes me back to like football training. And of course if you funked up, you'd have to do it as well. But we should do this thing called forgive me listens. I think it was got an Indian run. I'm not sure why it was called this. Why it
was called Indian run, Chinese whispers? Why the Chinese whispers? Who knows? But you would be in a single file Indian file. It was Indian file was go single file and the person at the front you'd be jogging and the person at the back had to sprint to the front a right and go all the way around the level. But if you did it too slow, they've got right ten more laps then, so then just like we're you gonna get even slower now. Yeah, but then everyone hates you because you're the
reasons. It's like, ah, man, some good times. I mean, I love playing football, but I hated the training. I'm telling you, what's that Beckham documentary. You'd find it kind of interesting. I know you're saying, Okay, Netflix me what to do, But it's fine. I'm going to check out first. You've got me converted. I said, we have to check out this ninety day Fiance because guy never fucking shuts up about it. So have you not yet? Where is it? Where is
it? It's on Fox Stone, you'll find it on like there's TLC all Live Style one of those channels. Okay, we only have the Basic and Sport. Okay, you may not have it. Actually, I tried to call up in cancer that. I'm like, I want to cancel. Like you can have movies for free. I'm like, ahh, we've got other
streaming. Like would you like the kids channels for free too? I was like fine, So I'm like now I'm getting like I'm paying thirty eight dollars a month and I'm getting the sport, the movies, the kids channels, and like the entertainment package. Okay, which seems like a good deal. That does seem like a pretty good deal. Check the entertainment package. Okay, when we're done here, I'll come out to your TV ninety Day Fiance. Yes, but you may look, God, I've got even less respect
for going anyway. So we completed the basic training because I wanted to skip all that. You complete the basic training, that's time for your assignment, and our base commander will now give you your assignments. Okay, listen up man, you've got it. Awesome voice, Well thank you? Can you say? Side effects may include drowsiness and loss of appetite. Side effects may include drowsiness and loss of appetite. Hmmm, sounded better in my head.
Now we've graded your aptitude tests and assignes you specialities to match your skills. Frontline infantry, frontline infantry, frontline infantry, front line infantry. I joined to make recruitment films. Well you know where you're gonna get good footage, don't you tell me? Frontline infantry. It reminded me of bombardma though front line infantry, front line infatry. Bombobman, bombobman. Yeah, the same kind of gag. It's repeating it. But I did like that because everyone
los keith someone's voice. They do. Yeah, So just pointing it out there, and Homer didn't get an assignment, needed a cletus gets an appearance here we got the side Shine Malley, Cletus Candy going on in the a man Dan doing the count in the thing. Thank you Dan, You're doing the lord's work there to pace your own group. Yeah, Sicho melg gets an appeance. I' don't sure whef he speaks, but no, he speaks. He just speaks. Okay, he speaks. I can't remember. I
try to drown it out. But because he've got such low test scores, that's a nod way to stay handy yet medals. Uh, they are now going to be basically the enemy that the Patsy's in the war games. And then it just gets really weird this episode. But they genuinely want to kill them. Why well they get they Yeah, I mean this is something you have a little you have to throw a little character development. You have to
you know, make Keith a Sutherlands guy. Maybe he's on the verge of being bundled out, and maybe he's an old soldier who's like, I need to show I still got teeth. You know, I'm gonna win these war games. And you know, he gets so obsessed and that's you know, he gets fixated on Homer and Homer's you know, fucking up all through basic
and he's like, oh, I can't stand this going. Oh I mean I get a chance to hunt him down and kill him, and ye know, he sort of loses track between, you know, his grasp on reality gets a little loose. I get that the joke. He's like, the Army's crazy, that's there. They're joke. But it's like, but this is even too far from the army. It's like, it's just you've gone too far with this parody. Yeah, and that's pretty tough when the army's
going too far in real life. Yeah. So yeah, So they meet with the family and they the family come to visit them first before the war games. How he explains that we're going to be the enemy. We see them payting death to Homer on the bomb and the notepad new Dad, Lenny or Carl. He doesn't care how he's going to die anyway. Put outside for the war games, and Homer shoots off the flares. So it's nighttime.
They've got the night vision goggles on, so it makes them more Goro is too bright because you shoot the flares off because it's Chinese New Year. They then raced off to the city and the guy orders them to invade the American city. We can't invade in American city with the authorization. It's like, ah, got it, Okay, this is where we're going. So
he has the National Broccoli Day Proclamation. That's right. I don't know, maybe you'd have to be a real student of American foreign policy to say, oh they have have they actually smuggled like powers into into very innocuous looking things? Know? This is it. This is a possible episode. Man,
this is honestly coming to your fun reviewers. It's like the army entered Springfield and he's got like his little two icee who I guess was the voice of Marus LaMarsh basically saying the whole time saying nah, no, we don't need to do this, don't be doing this. What are we doing this for? And there's kind of like we never stand down. We're going to be killing them, and it's like what Lenny gets run over by a tank and it's dead. Homer inclares to hiding and the sewers and the tech runs over
his fingers and it doesn't matter. They're still there. Fuck this episode, man, We're almost there. Maa is doingku. My dad loves doing my Mum's very big on them. Yeah, I think the feeing is something I should get in. That's I feel like you're on the You're on the verge of like the age where it's like next is in the gray matter. Yeah, how by the next newspaper to I finish that cross world in the previous issue. That's great. But yeah, so he's drawing wangs on the older
numbers and things like that, and Marmaduke and Mama Duke. You're not Mama Duke only the numbers. Yes, but let me suggest it because Lenny's okay, now to be whatever by take? Yeah, did did that happened first? Or now the tank was first? And then it was the scene? No, nothing matters. I concur with this episode. What you're doing mouth drawing a wang on my my duke? Heck no, I'm challenging myself at one of these Sudoku games with a Japanese puzzle in which no newmal can be
repeated in a row, column a box. That's how it works. I was just drawing wangs on the numbers. Well, you gotta hid us from the army, the Salvation Army. You got it, that that army the wood from stripes. Okay, thinks, how can I ever repair you? Hey, some things mean more to meat and money, like a whole lot of money. Why did you just say that? Sounds fragmant. I get the long story. Then they fire the guns into the cell to try and genuinely kill them. I was like, why I don't I don't get the
I don't get your point. Like I know that you're trying to say the war is bad, army is useless and shit, but it's like, this is just silly. Now. Yeah, I mean you could have had this if you're built up to, you know, the military guys sort of going
off the rails and everyone's being a bit shocked by that. It was just so they could have the whole line of stacked he wants to be stacked naked and have a hillbilly girl laughing at you, because that was the whole those photos that came out in like two thousand and it's three or four of the guys that were all you have to reference this, we have to it's like,
ah, fuck off. You know. Even by then, though this came out in two thousand and six, the end of two thousand and six, even that was like not old news, but it'd been out for like three years by now. That was like a three year old scandal by this point. Okay, let's get moving. And you're watching it in twenty twenty three and makes no sense whatever. So they're firing at them in the cellar.
The army this looking for Homer, but Homer is now at home because you know, the one place they didn't look for him, at his house because the army stupid home is now in bed with them. Then they see the predator drone helicopter which flies into the window, sees Homer and chases him around like a cartoon. I've got here, and I hate it when shows do this and it shouldn't and it's nerdy and geeking. But how are they watching the room from the outside on their screens? Okay, what do you
mean? Their drone was the helicopter inside the room it exploded, But when on their screen, we saw the room explode from the outside and it panned out and they were watching that on their screen. Oh okay, yeah, no, yeah, no, no, that's god fucking hell man, Oh god, just stupid. Yeah, we're almost stupidity. But there's decide to round up all the ball and fat guys in Springfield, and we get a Charmers and Skinner moment. The two I see is trying to explain this is
cost us have a fifty million dollars since lunch. We never we must stop this and I have never met. You've got to made a mistake. Keep going, Keep going. Homer is now hiding out the retirement castle. I did like that we finally got the name for the can I come to lady? Her name is Dorothy. That's rights felt so sorry for her. That's one of the saddest moments in Simpsons because she's so lonely old woman. But it's nice to know that. Not so much that we got her name,
but we know now that she has visits. Yes, yes, soupe soup. Marge uses her phone tree to organize a meeting at the reservoir at eight pm. This is basically love the This is social media now correct, this is the Facebook. Facebook. But they're watering down the alcohol or putting alcohol in the water. Is that what they're doing. Yes, So that's why Mode tries to hide the fact that he did that. And he's like, oh no, this is the first time I've done it, and overplays the
joke about his shifty eyes. You're trying to do rules of rule of threes here, but it's just not working. I think, is this where Mel talks Will the army get drunk and they wake up to them standing over them? That's what I saw. But I think when they're all pouring liquor into the into the reservoir, that's when side shod side chow Mel says something. Yeah, I was tuning out with this point. I just didn't care. But they wake up and they said, you know, discuss the terms of
the surrender. They say, no, not. I hope you've learned that an occupying foreign force can never defeat a determined local populace, among the many things we learned in Vietnam motivate Lisa the eight year old, When are you going to learn that occupying foreign force never defeats determined local populace. It's like,
oh, fuck off now. Now. One would think that in the turbulent times that we're currently in in uh, you know, October twenty twenty three, that this may still have some relevance, But this episode was just so blad that we're kind of like, no, look, there's a message here. If handled correctly, could have been very effective. Yes, and it's kind of unfortunately Evergreen, you botched it, you had dropped the ball.
Yeah, this was a shit episode. So they eventually signed the surrender note and Homer has to unfortunately still fulfill his duty and he is now just a recruiter and it's not even funny. Yeah, and he's trying to recruit people in the most hamfested way possible. He's having no luck. And that's the end of the episode. Except over the final credits you have Keifer Suddland saying variations on frontline infantry and occasionally something else. We love you, Keifer.
We hope you, We hope your kids were entertained by your presence in this episode. Terrible, not a great episode. No, this is the top five of all time shitness for me. Yeah, this said make me as angry as like Code Pennan's day well to quoite a lot of parents everywhere. I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed. Yeah. I just felt they got to the end of this and went, ah, man, I don't feel like Season eighteen has been that bad so far. No, No,
I think we were a little concerned coming in. But if it's more like this. Oh, by, we're going to be earning our earning our money. What do we learn Bomber? All right, did you earn anything from this episode? The day? Oh my gosh, let me find let me go through my notes here that that device at the shoe place is actually for measuring shoes and not your penis. Have you ever measured penis? Yeah? Oh yeah, not recently. What was the first time you reckon? You
measured it? I reckon? I would have been thirteen. I was probably about fourteen. Yeah, it's just like it's important to know how long it is. Yeah, do I measure up? And do you wound up? Or do you round down? We round up? Always round up? What the fuck making a position to round down? Forward? Your names will be all right? It is time for the Guy Davis New names anything? No, fuck no, the time for the Guy Davis New Name Championship. Well
give it. I just feel they put such a little effort into this. I'm putting little effort into the new names. Push record. It's right on me and that's pretty much. And it's rod of me this episode. How bad it was when it was when I finished watching it, I was like, oh that wasn't great. Reviewing it, we found that, haven't we Sometimes it's like, yeah, that was okay to watch, and then on a deeper dig or deeper dive was like, oh no, terrible. Now
we had an issue with the new names. So we've got a message from a man, Heath Applebee. We missed up. We basically messed up the entire fucking talities. Okay, what happened. Yeah, we've been slacked with the maths around. So Phil Hawkins was in first position on five points, and Kyle Muldoon was in second position. So Heath that you're now on three points. So basically hit me with your your three chet one for this week. Oh okay, So we've sorted it out. So Philip J. Hawkins
is in first position and Kyl Muldoon is in second. Okay, then well one point goes to the expandables. Well the expandables that puts Kyl Muldon clever Kyle on four points. Well, Uncle Carle, expendables four is apparently out in cinemas right now, and Terrible really nears. Oh that's a shame. They were never any good. They were never good movies. Yeah, that it was a novelty wasn't it. By the way, he's on five points not get the maths. So he's now equal first on five points with Philip
ja Hawgens. Two points goes to Homer's Heroes. Homer's heroes, that is Glenn Gomez. That's his first points for this for this year this season. Is good on you? Two points? Yeah. So currently right now we've got Philip Hawkins and Kyle mauldoon both on five points in first position. Okay, three points goes to full not full full metal jacket. I have to blow out. That would be always that it again. Luke McKay, he's now in first Oh gosh, he's climate well, it's out of nowhere.

Alright, it is now time for the mail bag for g I don't I hope these questions are better than this episode. I bet they are. They always are. I reckon Andrew JP's asked the question. I
haven't even looked yet, but I'm gonna say yes. I'm also gonna say yes and JP the first person Top Contributor contributor, what is your favorite military theme, TV show, movie, and or video game? Oh gosh, I'm not really a video game guy. I say Major Pain was a huge hit in the Dando household when I was a kid, Medjorr Peen. Yeah, your titir out of his mouth and start beating him, starring Demon Wie. What movies are like? When it was to war movies, I'm like
The Deer Hunter quite a lot. That was a very good one and born on the fourth of July. My dad was big on the the Nicholas Cage War film. What was it? Nicholas started with w wind talking wind Talkers. Yeah, he loved that and he loved the was Mel gibsone. We Were sold We Were Soldiers that was the other one. Love that movie as well. Yeah, that's what I always one of us, see, we were soldiers. I think of my dad because I'll be born in the VHS
did even in the Blu Ray for his birthdays over the years. Video games. I was never a video game kid either. I know, call of duty and that kind of thing. But I just I was never any good. Yeah, I mean that. I think that's the the go to when people talk about war games is like call of Beauty. I mean, like God please, codes cotton chips, you know, just like there are certain titles of default when you're talking about genres of games, when like Grand Theft
Auto is the I guess the driving game GTA Please. Clearly I'm not a game, but cod it seems to be the one that's like if you go around shooting people, that's the one you play. Yep, So Joshua Stephen Olivia Olivia Olivier. Best line you've heard from a military recruiter. We don't get them much in the show. I feel like it's it's more of a patriotic thing in America where I can't I can't really remember anytime ever seeing an
army recruiter. I think I've seen a few, and I think they've taken one look at me and I realized this guy's aged out and also sized out. You know, this guy's human target, human shield operation, human shield for guy Davis. No. I yeah, I've never really been trying to be persuaded to join the military. Sorry, I can't help you with that one. He also asked, if you were hiding from the military, who would help hide you but then immediately sell you out? Oh, Mitch,
oh god, it's Margaret Mary. Yeah. Probably he's down there. He's down there being woke. Harrison McClure, what are your memories of the war on Tara nine to eleven? That's gonna get bleak. I just remember that. I remember my mum's screaming like wow, not like terrified, but it's like what what and waking up and she's like plans ful into the building. I was like, oh cool, and we're back to bed, like it
didn't didn't sink in. I'm sure I've told this story many times, but I was working the late shift at the newspaper in Geelong on the night of September eleventh. We are or when it happened, you know, and we're hearing like, shit, apparently a plane flew into the World Trade Center. What the fuck? Wow? That's oh shit, that's pretty ancing. And now I sort of we start, you know, confirming that then well this is going to be news. Okay, we better get than it's like and
it's hard to get global news on like in real time. Oh yeah, I mean the Internet was a thing, but it was still you know, forums, yeah, gathering yeah yeah. And then someone else said, hey, a plane is flowing into the World Trade c and he's like yeah, yeah, we know. It's like no, no, the the other one. It's like, oh yeah. That was that when it for you realized, oh, this is premeditated. Yeah. I mean, once we got actual sort of confirmation on that, and that's all everybody was hearing. It's
all right, yep, and you know the Pentagon got attacked. Yeah yeah, and then you hear about I think they're going for the Pentagon as well as like holy fuck, and then they were going to get the house. Yeah. So this was about nine o'clock I think maybe Australia something no ten, but yeah, we were approaching the end of the shift. I was married at I'm here all night. I don't know if you've been watching the
news, but this is what's happening. And yeah, we were there till I was there till dawn really, you know, because we were yeah, it's sort of just well, you guys at that point, still like newspapers were the source of news. They were essentially. I mean I don't think we had much of an online presence at all. I mean maybe it was like we should also have like a website thing is, but no, we had to basically rebuild the whole paper from scratch. I remember like the search
trying to find the survivors being like major news. You know, maybe that was a front page of the Yaddy Away with the herald son of like a guy being rescued, like he had like like dust all over him. He looked like a zombie. Oh absolutely, yeah. Yeah. I mean for the next week to a fortnight, I mean that was all we covered, and it got to the point, w ee, everyone realized there's no more survivors. Yeah, who makes that call? He's just like it's done.
That's a hard quarter mate. It's yeah, it's pretty tough. So yeah, this was it was a it's a tough time. David Mott. Final question, whether it be someone from the army charity or other, have you ever had someone be really pushy while you were out shopping? You we if we just talked about sometimes they are really really pushy. But I always just say I've ever shipped myself or the kids a shit themselves I'm glad no one questions it. I'm kind of going to see the people are goin to shit
myself. What are you gonna do about it? Yeah? I tend to be a little more well. I tend not to say I shut myself, but I'll not today, mate, Sorry, and then move on. But then at oh, that's the people that came to the front door to come in and change your shower head the other day. So about two years ago, right, I don't know what this scheme is. Apparently it's a government
scheme. And this guy at the front door comes to dawn and is like, are we here to replace your shower heads but more water efficient head? And I was like, Nichola, do you know about this? She was like maybe, yeah, it's the thing I had it done one so yeah, he came in and changed your head and it was fine. But it's like whatever, right, And like about a month ago, maybe even last maybe go two weeks ago, this woman was at the door and she was
like knocking and I'm in here editing. I'm just like, I'm the NaN's in the door. Whatever. If it's a parcel just leaving at the door, then knock, knock, knock, and no. Shit. Like three minutes goes by and she's not no. A knock and I'm like, what is this. I great there. She was like, I'm here to change your shower head. I was like no, no, no, no thanks. She was like no, no, it's been two years man to change it. I'm like, no, it's fine, it still works. And
she's like it's free. I'm like, I don't care. Sure, I'm in a work meetings. She's like, okay, when's the work meeting finished. I'm like I don't know. I'm like I just I don't want to thank you. She was like, I'll come back at four thirty. I'm like, no, don't no thanks, but thanks anyone. No, And I close the door right and then I go to pick up the kids from daycare. Come back and they're at the front door. This time she's with a guy and then and I'm just like he's like, we're here to change
the shower head. And I was like, no, no, my wife and I don't want it. It's fine. He's like, I know, it's for free. I was like, well, I don't want it though, and she was like, well, you said come back, and I did not say come back. And forth. Thirty were coming back and forth. Third I said I don't want you to come back. At four thirds, I was getting like pushed. I told you I didn't want to.
He goes, well, so can we just come in and take a photo of the one you come I'm like, no, you're not coming in my house. He goes, we just need one photo. I'm like, you're not coming in my house. Get off my fucking driveway right now. And they got into like a Yondo Excel and to drive away, and I'm like, who are these people? I have no idea. That's so weird. It was fucking when he was just like, can I just come in and take a photo of your shower? I'm like, get the fuck off my
driveway now before I do actually call the police. And the kids like in the car going who's that daddy? Who is that? Like honestly, like five minutes old, I'm trying to push it. I was like, you had back the fuck off now or I actually will call the police. And I was straight into like this honestly guy like hereon Excel and they drove off in the corner and I'm like, were they actually people? Like? This is the thing with even in a society now where, like you said,
you've had that done before in the past. If someone came to your front door with a box in their hand, in the clipboard and then like a little emblem on the show, you just assume it's the same people. How am I supposed to know that they could be fucking people just coming into my house to scope out the joint exactly right. I was like, basically when he's like, I'm just coming in, He's like, you started walking towards the door. You are not coming in my house. I was like that
that was like an excellent for me. Absolutely, yeah, Oh my god, that's terrible. Yeah, I know. I was just have you ever had these people come to your house and change the shower head? Say no, I think I did it ages ago, and after this I'm not doing it. No, thank you. But you were going to say if someone was being pushy, you never say you shit yourself. You just no, no, I mean, I don't want this to sound and you don't want to see them later on in the day, and you're like the guy himself,
Yeah, there's your ass. I don't want to stand anyway misodgymanistic. But I've had more than one instance when it's been a younger woman. Yeah, and you're you're not swimming to me. No, no, And they will tend to have the thing that's like this guy's gonna want to talk to me, and I've been like, I really don't. I mean, I've just the I know, I know what you're up, I know what you're up to you it's I know what you're trying to sell or trying to push
on me. I'm really not interested. But look, have a great day. I try it is. That's not a great job. That's me. When like the strippers approched me at the strip club, I'm like, I know what you're trying to do. I know you've owned a buck, but I'm not your Patsy. Go to that. See that guy go to him? Hey come on here. Yeah he was pointing at me when he did that. Exactly right. Okay, Well that is our review of Gee I'd
annoyed, grunting, and thank god we are through that one. Hope you guys, I hope you guys enjoyed us reviewing it, because I don't know. This is one of those episodes where I high recommend he never gone back and revisiting ever, I will never revisit this episode ever in my life, nor will I No, not at all. The next episode, though, is cold Moan and Alisa, so mo and a Lisa, So maybe maybe a Moan a Lisa story could be. I wouldn't put it past the obvious,
the very subtle skills of the Simpsons writers at the stage. I don't mind the mo episode, so we shall see. Yes, we're not gonna automatically prejudge it. Yes, if you haven't checked out my episode of this actually this week at elliot Joy O'Neil on you said hello to him. Indeed, as I was leaving the other day we talked about the most gruesome debts and Treehouse of Horror. Will AfOR do a Simpsons Halloween version of that? Maybe next week the week after we'll pick a topic. Yes, yes we
can't, all right, but yeah, make sure you check it. You've got two episodes of four Finger Discat in your ears every single week. Now. If you're enjoying everything we do here at four Finger Discat and you have not yet joined the family on page, we'd really appreciate you do so, even for a little It's just two dollary dues you can do it for a single dollar do if you want to, but two dollar dues per month really
helps us grow this network and helps keep the lights on. If you do it for two dollar dues, that's one for dandel one for me, exactly right. And actually no, it'll probably be like sixty cents for me, a dollar forty. It's not even that. It's we have like a sixty forty split, now do it? Yes, well that sounds fair, which isn't too bad considering that you do everything the work for sixty percent of the money. But this show will not be around without you, mister Davis,
of course. But but yeah, so if you could spoise on Patroon, that would be fantastic. When you get access to tales of you, Jerama, speaking of the Hill, talking Seinfeld and hemmy reviews, access to a Facebook group, and so much more. But next episode is going to be mo in Lisa. This has been g I dope, mister Davis. Any final words for those amazing listeners out there Frontline Inventory sh
