Transcript

What are you going to do with those photos? Nothing? Huh? Providing you celebrities do something for me. I want you all to showed some respect for the people who made you what you are. Signed an ortographer to support a charity for something that hasn't happened to a member of your family. Let one of us regular guys write a terrible children's book. We will take the deer four finger discounted. Welcome to fourthing a discount where this one we hit

the review episode jib F zero six. It is ham Razzi. I am dead, oh and I am guy fresh from salivating over the thought of infinity Hamburgers. Yes, certainly, indeed I mentally thought of you on this, like what what would be guys Hamburger of choice and life for me? When I think of you and ham Burgers, I feel quarter Panda is the one you bring up the most. The answer is another hamp Probably, Yeah,

I mean, oh, certainly. If I'm going to everyone's favorite fast food outlet and friend of the pot of McDonald's, yeah, it'd be a quarter pander with cheese. Absolutely. Do you remember a time when they did the quarter Panda without cheese? No, they actually had this and I used to eat it for a while. I only became a quarter pander guy I am about maybe three four years ago. I was always a big mask and if I get Macci's and that's always a big Mac, big Max being my go

to forever. But quarter pand I always said a cord pander. I'm like, it's just a big cheeseburger. But then I have it, I was like, but it's also a lot better. Yeah. I mean, I think they've got different flavor combinations underneath the underneath the hood or underneath the bun

um. Because I mean I was never a big Mac guy either. But then occasionally, you know, back in the back in the glory days, I don'd have the mac is app and and be like, we're doing a deer where you can get two big Macs for this reasonable amount of money. I'm like, well, yeah, i'd be foolish not to do that. That's the thing, And that's how McDonald's hooked to me as a kid going to the foot in. Then he's right because McDonald used to sponsor, whether

it be the John Footy Club or the a f L or whatever. But then hand you these cards at the start, and it was Alsoso exciting because like, if Gelong can win by more than twelve points, you get a free big Mate. Oh my god. And they got me hooked, and they used to give one to everyone. So I just go around and say can I have your big Mac card and guys like yeah, sure, whatever,

kid, Like I get to catch the big Macs because yeah. But the thing is, I remember they didn't have like little one per customer at the start. They eventually did they yeah, but for the first few games it was just like unlimited. So like you drive down. This is before we had the new highway. So I was trying to explain to Nicola recently. But by the way local reference, I get it. But here in Geelong we built a like an expressway because you could call it like a freeway

to the side of the city. So you have to drive through the city to get to the twelve apostles and so you can avoid a shortcut. Yeah, we know, we know, you me through. Let's just take this side round. But do you remember when the football was on, the traffic was built up all the way down through the highway. Oh. Absolutely. You couldn't know anywhere when it was when it was like, you know,

a public long weekend. Public holiday long weekends were the worst. I lived in nor Or Lane, right and which is about a ten to fifty minute drive from the city, but it was traffic the entire We up a butt. But I'm just like, well, we're not going anywhere today. But I remember, like, you're driving home from the footy with those big Mac cards and the life of McDonald's was just like wait, holding up the entire highway. It's just yes, that's how they got me hooked on Big MacX.

Was was those cards at the footy. But I was never a pickle kid. I saw pickles off. Now I just go for him, like, yeah, pickles everything. Absolutely. I mean I still take that. Well, I'm being good kids, I'm not eating having had macas so far this year all ten eleven days. But I was also saying the same, just wet buys. So when he falls off that wagon, honestly I was. Today. I woke up and I'm like, I mean I've been sort of showing off potatoes, rice, pasta, bread, all that kind of

business. It's terrible. No, it's actually not that bad. But this morning work, I'm like, I could really go, like a good salad role. I mean, I mean, you should be allowed to have a whole meal role. That's me and I think, I think I'll probably do that. Yeah, it's just there's nothing moderation, moderation absolutely, yeah, yes, yes, yes, but yeah, i'mos the same. I was always young, pickles come out of the quarter pound, but pickles stay in

the big mac because I didn't realize because Nicholas is actually Nicola goes. You realize his pickles in the sauce, and I was like, fucking right, holy shit, piles his entire time. Women generally smarter than us, And tell you what else was smart this episode. I loved this episode. Not gonna lie, I really really really enjoyed this one. I appreciate you not

lying about that. Yeah, I too enjoyed it. I meanly thought, okay, we're you know, sort of in the season eighteen, Weeds is going to be any good And look, I won't say this is like, oh it's a new classic and you know why I did that voice. But at the same time, I was like, this would not be out of play. This would be a perfectly acceptable Golden Age episode. Yeah, like, if this was in the Golden Age, you feel like it would have

been even funnier like this premise. I was really surprised hadn't already been done. Yeah, because you know, in particular, I know it's a touchy subject and it's sad Princess Diana's death right was blaming on paparazzi. It's a wonder that didn't sort of do something like this after that. I think the wounds would have been a little bit top fresh then. Absolutely. I mean, you're very good with air dates. When when did this actually air?

Have you got it written to Wikipedia? My friend here Wiki two thousand and seven, March twenty fifth, two thousand and seven, Okay, yeah, so in a decade. Yeah, you're pretty much right in the middle of the whole. I mean, the Papaiazzi paparazzi era has been going on for well since pretty much we've had camera, the Paris Hilton era. Well, yeah, but this was very much the Paris Hilton. Hear they even name check. Well, they give you Paris texting today, which I thought was

a good gag. That's not a bad gag, but yeah. They also talked about Lindsay Loewen, Yes, which is one of my favorite moments. Seeing the gutter freckles. It's like in Hindese, I thought Simmons was so good again as the editor, he was. I mean, he's playing the hits. Yeah, But at the same time, it's like, these are pretty good hits. Yeah. If you're going to a steely Dan Concer, you want to play the hits, you're not going to complain. Yeah,

that is correct. Yeah, and they're all hits. But it's like, oh, I mean, I think we've talked about this on past episodes where it's like, oh, there's been a bit of a reappraisal of this particular era of like very much when you're like, oh, yeah, give me a shot of so and so, and particularly gross when it's like, hey, you know who mine is turning eighteen years old to try and get some racy picks, like ah, why are we so gross? Why do we

still look this up? Why am I clicking? They can't stop clicking? But yeah, we were right in the middle of it around this era, I think, and there's been a real reappraisal, and recently it's like we were too nice to you know, the likes of Paras Silton or Lindsay Lohan or Britney Spears, especially That's why people hanging shit on her baby. I'm like, guys, whatever you think about Paras Hilton, don't hang shit on

her baby's head. Yeah. Wait till it turns you know, team or something, and then it's open seas it's still ugly, then go right ahead. Do you think now paparazzos are is a paparazzo paparazzi. I think a paparazzo is the singular. Paparazzi is multiple, multiple, Okay. Do you feel like that paparazzi is more respectable now? Celebrities? I think they still try and get like their the snaps of them at the beach and their families

occasionally, They're still going to be always those shitheads out there. Absolutely, yeah. I mean I think it's more videos now, right, it really is. Yeah. I mean I'm always astonished that I think it's TMZ. Yeah. Well, I can't believe it's still a thing. Still a show. It's a show. Yeah, but they will, like, you know, sort of button people at the airport or on the street and say,

hey, what do you think about such and such? Like I just came out to dinner and I thought they perfectly encaptulated that with Lenny and Carl here. Yeah, like just the whole We say, the celebrities, what are you complaining about? And then Lenny's like, how's that Robin Williams, of all people, Robin Williams haven't did with his family. You wouln't even take some time away from his family to take the funners of my kids or whatever.

A relationship with celebrities is very, very fraud it is, yeah, isn't it, because you know, we always think they're complaining every nothing. You've got so much money, what are you complaining about? And you look at the life of celebrities, It's like, I can see the problems, but I'd also prefer to be in your situation in the mine. Oh yeah, not that I don't like my life, but I would prefer to have

more money than not have money. You know. That's the thing. I mean, that's why I've always liked the idea of being I mean, if I was going to act, I would want to be someone like, say, I don't know, Michael Shannon, or you know, like a respected

character actor who you know makes it decent enough living of it. But yeah, it's not necessarily you could walk down to the show Paul Gimmrty pre Billions Paul Gimmarty exactly, Oh god, not to Hey, we'll shout out friend of the Pop Mark Maren his interview with Paul Jim Marty, who's long been one of my favorite actors. Jim out is not just one of my favorite people because I'm like Omano, my brother. We had it's celebrities, they're

just like us. But we had so much in common because he's just you know, collects a shit ton of old books and all those other stuff. I'm like, oh my god, you're just like me, not just in terms of your hairline and body shape. So when you're done listening to everything on the forefing of discount and worked by all means, check out the WTF episode of Maron with Paul Giamati because it's just really, really good. Yeah, he was one of the original guys who just got it when it came

to podcasting. Marron podcasts. Absolutely. Yeah, I've never I was never like a huge guy because I'm like, I like your interviewing style. You're very casual, but you get a lot of good stuff out of people. But I don't want to put up with twenty minutes of you sort of saying, hey, it's Mark Maron. You're in the garage and playing guitar, not actually playing your touch. That's what you'd get from me if I was doing and it was very much kind of give us some of that egg guitar

unsubscribed, unlike an unsubscribe. But yeah, but I think that's the kind of Solibardy like to be like where you're not wow, we love even falling around every he gets harassed. Yeah, yeah, but you're still making that so it still know who you are. That's sweetweet money. So if you saw Gene Marty at the airports, there's a difference between there's like big name celebrities where people just can't resist the temptation to go and get a photo.

Paul g might if you saw him like browsing books, you'd be like a fucking leave mylone. I saw him, that's enough, you know, Or you'd sort of see each other across the arm and go just make sure you know, is it okay. I'm sure he'd go can't get a photo or whatever. But like some people like for example, Hem's well, if it's like he's at the airport, you just get people flocking to him for photos without even considering does he want this or not? Absolutely, but yeah,

I just really really love this. As you're saying, this would perfectly fit into like what people could perceive as the golden ear Simpsons. And I'm really surprised this story hadn't already been done. But I thought, considering it was season eighteen, I think that did a pretty awesome job of it. Really, I think I think this honestly. I remember I said Yoco cause is probably my favorite episode of the season. I think this topped it for me.

I think I enjoyed this more than Yocle Cords. It's certainly neck and neck, but yeah, I reckon this one might be might be just moving ahead. A little lack of Fleeters probably helps, like a Pleaders, doesn't You got your mean sorry you got your sar mellon there, But that's to be expected these days. At least they made fun of the side of eating the flag, all those those that so funny? Wasn't that increasingly lured and kinky paparazzi shots at the end the ashes very very enjoyable. That's a good,

yeah, good episode. All right, you lovely stone Cutters. There's time for me and guy you want to read our names. It was our top tier Stonecutter who is high on our list.

I always like hearing those things. It's just they almost starting to feel

like family. And sometimes they might like drop off for a couple of months after to take the name off the list, and I'm like, my brain though, just goes to say their names. I'm just so used to saying the name over and over and over. But you know, it's money's too tired to mention these days. Yeah, you know, but if you have to drop out every once in a while, wholly understandable. But like the

like the Prodigal Sun, we would welcome you back into the fold. I do like to think though, for for five dollar redues per month, you do get a shitload of content. That's pretty reason you get talking sionfold speaking of the Hill, the movie guys, which you're doing Jaws this month, and we'll see other on tails of the Futurama as well, going down to south Park. Yeah, all the episodes of fourfing a discount one of our friends going down to South Park early and ad free, yep, plenty of

stuff. I think it's well worth that support fills a man's man goodness me, I spend that on Big Max. Yes, indeed, we used to. That's true. My favorite. All right, mister Davis, what is your favorite moment or favorite moments? That's a very good question. What did I enjoy the first? And I got a few laugh out loud moments from this episode, But the first one from this episode you call the last time that happened for a Simpsons episode. We've got laugh out loud moments, great,

a few here, It's been a while. Yeah, yeah, but I certainly laughed out loud at this was when they were recreating their old photos. Yes, and of course you had Florida and they're on the water skiing some home a splashing water on when they're emparisoning through baguettes. And then I was like, that's so funny. I enjoyed that, and I enjoyed the nineteen eighty seven version of themselves as well. That's right, their faces just

the begets again, just a quick visual gag. But I dug that Marge looked on the back of the tabloid magazine and said, hey, they pay dollar dollar dollar yea for photos, and in a start like that, so much. We she held up one of her bills. They just said the three dollar signs and it's like a lot of simple visual gags that really work. Yeah, they really felt like just old school. Yeah, yeah, writers are in Simpson gags. The Return of Gabbo Yep, the gab Overside

is one of my all time favorites. You just love that, I really do. I mean Gabbo, Gabbo Gabo. But not to take away from Homer rights and anything, but I just want to just the bits in Gabbo where it's like he's got his version his corpse doll. All these kids are screaming like it's it's a dummy. And how many times I don't know how many times I've used sort of screencaps from that was like I think it's Quimby, but like Gabbo says, I bad little boy. So great. So

yeah, very happy to see with the turn Gabo. I will talk about the Betty White cameo when we go. That was just lovely. It was just like that was pure Betty White, wasn't it Like if you who Betty White was, that's exactly who you imagine her to be. Yeah, yeah, you'd either have her really steering into oh everybody loves Betty White and here's why, or you do a Lake Placid and your turner into like this found mouth shotgun you know he'll billy or whatever. I really liked Dregeric Tatum's Your

hip Hop album was Bossful, Unnecessary. Okay, here we go. Yeah, that'll do it for me and the rest I think we can talk about as we go through. What were you all some of your favorites? I mentioned the Lindsay landhum before, but the other one I really liked was this is pagehon written all over. What the hell did you do that for? You can see coming a mile away? But for me, I just laughed my ass off. This really actually made me want to revisit, like the

Sam Raimi Spider Man was because JK. Simmons's course is very well known now. I think when this happened, it was kind of like he wasn't a household no. I mean, of course there was oz and he'd been on was it was he on bones. It was a law and order, law and order recurring on that, like as a psychiatrist. As a psychiatrist, yeah, so you'd seen every once and while, So he was a familiar face. It's a big part of this podcast. What do we learn,

Palmer? That's correct. Yeah, if you grew up reading Spider Man comics or you knew anthing about Spider Man, you knew that j Jonah Jameson was like a really pivotal character and a really vivid character like that didn't need to be as important in the movies, but he made it important. He really did, and he really just sort of nailed the look but particular Oh my

god, of course that's what he'd sound like. Yeah, yeah, so that energy and yeah, yeah, so yeah, I'm almost I think I'm doing much this s uff I don't think I'm gonna watch Spider Man one and two. I bought maybe three Blu ray for like a dollar each of Marketplace last week because I haven't re visited for a long time. Like I'm going to show Elliot these movies because they are my favorite Spider Man movies absolutely. I mean, Spider Man two, I Reckon still remains like one of the

real high water marks. Everyone's got one best sequels ever, I Reckon. So next question, you there eating the Beast all right, trivia, mister Davis, what is your first question for Himerazi. I don't have that many, okay, but let's see how we go. Uh name the four settings on the back of the Krusty Doll mother in law off, current events and stolen jokes stolen. I do have one nippick. So when he flicks that the current events, he starts talking about the Kinks and all that kind of

thing. But then when he's in this safe he start talking about iPods. I'm like, yeah, what that's true. That's a good point. Yeah, because the current events for when the doll was made was the Kinks, and then it's all of a sudden, now talking about iPods, and it's like, how is it now talking about current events? That was actually a pretty good, crusty game. I was the Kinks, the Stones. Well,

there's a visit in my doctor's office that said my last physical. My question for you is what was on the cover of the magazine of the TV Guide? What was the headline? Damn it the TV Guide? Yeah, puts it in the seat. So he hangs Maggie on the mirror. Oh damn it, No, no, I'm sorry. It was Barbara Walters at

one one hundred. That's right. Yeah, Um, what is the Ordeu that Rainier wolf Castle is offered at the snub stem cell for heaters, they leave the g I thought you just would have loved this for Rainie wolf Castle very much. I'm not mental slush the dog. The dogs get sushie now or they want is sushi. I just love it. The obvious Maria Shriver and no office like you promised me one day where you wouldn't break revenge reborked

your next question. Who I thought that a million fire fires were started by candles? That was gus. Yeah, I'd say five says. I thought it was silly and so funny. Do I have any self stolen one of yours? I was assuming at the Star Trek Voyager Reunion special? What is Lenny dressed as? I don't know the characters Nambers the ship that dresses like

silver? Yeah, I believe it's seven of nine, Okay. I just liked that their nerds in that aspect, like you know, they try to got man's man, but like they still wastch started for each everyone's a nerd in some way, oh very much. So. Yeah, I've got a question here for you. That's good, good, good, because there's no one else here. What is the name of the candles, what's the brand? Oh? Easy blow? Easy blow now easier to blow? Uh? And that might be all my happy in my man, I'm gonna find one

more for you through He's an easy one for you. I knew you're like this. Who was duff Man on a date with? He was on a date with Boobrella? Boobrella And honestly, see the Alvira films. Are they worth watching? My uncle Darren loves them, but he loves them for what they are. I think I saw Elvira Mistress of the Dark way back in the day. But I think Elvira for me is someone who is like good

in small doses. Yeah, I mean I think, like yourself forty five minutes a week, that's enough give me, give me a bad sazz persion. The stand and gay. Yeah, I haven't revisited a very long time, but now I'm a big fan of what Cassandra Peterson did with the Olvira character. But I think it just she might be made for YouTube. He might have been made for like sort of cutting up little bits like here's here's a five minute intro to her, you know, introing some movie or something

like that's all I need. But that's what I do here with because I don't know what she She made movies, but she also liked the host of like late night horror and stuff. I thought that was kind of the thing because on Simpsons that's what she is, and I miss that where you'd have a a person who would host tonight we have this movie or whatever. So you see it for like a minute when I was going up. That was my dream job. Oh, they used to have it on like Channel ten

or something. Yeah, l on a Friday night. In your mind, they're actually choosing what putting it, but they're not really, but like they're pretending what they are. It's like, I'd love to have the job of picking what people are going to watch. Yeah, it's it's like when you're the DJ at an old school radio station. It's like they actually chose what music went out. That was my dream job. That was what I should have been doing. That's what my life should have been. That's what you

said on our review of the Fog. Oh yeah, yeah, I should have been like I should have been like Stevie Wayne been the male Stevie Wayne. You still can do it. We're doing that to some degree. It's this Dan doing guy your night light. Yeah all right, let's get into a review of Homerazzi. So originally, and as I said earlier March twenty fifth, two thousand and seven, directed by A. Matthewness Stuck and written by J. Stewart Jones, guest stars Betty White, John Lovetts as Aniliko

a Lazzio, and Jakie Simmons as tableau editor. So the what do you called him, Jakie Jackie Simmons? Notice what his mom calls him? Now, hey, j just kidding Simmons. Uh. So, the chalkboall gag was global warming did not eat my homework, We got a talkboard gag,

and the cash gag was a really long one. So it's basically this is the take off of the right here, Right Now movie music five Fat Boy Slim because basically the evolution of man and it evolves from like a stem a sad to a fish yeah, all the way through to like the fat kid from the Come a Long Way Baby. Yes, yeah, who is one of the most famous kids of the nineties. But do you know what that

who that kid is is that Sean O'Brien. No, no one knows who that kid is, right, but because that photo was actually taken from a nineteen eighty three fat Person festival in Virginia, Okay, And they just used that photo, but no one's ever actually figured out he was because in the film clip, it's a grown man dressed the same way who looks like the kid got older. But that kid, no one has ever really worked out

who it is. The reason I said, sure, Brian, is like I heard this the other day about you know, some guy who was at like a concert or something, and yeah, bigger guy and he was like

really, you know, getting down, really enjoying it. And then he was like fat, chained by a bunch of dickheads, and whoever was taking photos, they took another picture of his who was I think that was his name, of this kid, of this guy, and the picture sort of went before and after pictures of like this big guy having a really good time, and everyone said that no one even knows who it is. No,

no, this is a different difference in the fat boys linger. Oh okay, so yeah, I doesn't say, but I thought, who is this person? Is he famous person? But apparently this is a more recent thing. He went viral and you know, I think he was in the UK and I flew out of the Hollywood and through my party because it was like, there's been dickheads to you. Let's sorry your party. I really kid that remember the lightsaber kid? Yeah? Well again this is sort of this

ties into the whole homerazzi thing. I mean, I think, you know a lot of the motivation, well a lot of motivation for paparazzi taking photos. Let's make some money, it's a job. But there was also an underlying degree of this person you didn't get better than me, Yeah, taking pictures of them, trying to shame them. Yeah, and now we're kind

of shaming ourself aware looking everyone's looking actively for people to the shames. Let's get on the internet and find someone who's been really sincere about what they're doing and take the piss out of them. I remember being in nineties, kid, it was definitely a myth you could say of the school yard that that fat kid was actually fat boy Slim. But there were kids who were convinced that was fat boy Slim. What the guy on the cover of the album

Yeah great two was like number one already? Why try what a lord? This fat kid just loving life. But the thing is it was just the perfect end to that music video because it's like the evolution to man trying to get better better. At the end, it's like, I'm already number one and just and he just sits his fat arts on the couch and that's it. I love fat boyslam. That was There was a three year pero. We had that song Praise You and Weapon of Choice. Yeah, and it's

like they're three of the greatest songs and I bang, holy shit. Remember I didn't like Praise You as a kid. I just I just didn't get it. And then I was like a teenager. I was like, oh, I get it. And you look at the video that directed by the Great Spike Jones, starring the great spit just dancing in the all. I think the film could put me off. I was like, who are these people? They're weirdos. What is this. I'm so used to like spice

Scales and the exciting films. It's just people in a mall dancing. I'm like, this is weird. But I watched now and I'm like, that is just genius. A friend of the Pot Adam Sandler, he I remember the the trailer came out for his movie The water Boy. Yeah, and it had fat boy slims going out of my head or going out of my mind. I can't find it anywhere on YouTube because I remember seeing it at the cinema back in the day. I thought, or you remembering it wrong.

I don't think I'm remembering it wrong. I'm pretty sure because it's like it's just Sandler crashing into people and it had this really just dope fat boy slim tune over the top of the I'm like, really like that. That was It was such a great time the late nineties because you'd have that. And there was also a trailer for like a band damn movie or Maximum Risk. It had fire Starter as the as the soundtrack. It's like, this is gonna be the best fucking movie fall time, what's that? What's the

phone? Thirdth is it? Jason X has a kick ass song that's got to let the bodies at the floor. Yes, so perfect. With someone who mentioned it in the Patron group the other day, it was like, oh, I never thought i'd hear someone talk about drowning, all right, especially on a discout, and here we are cold, the bodies aid the floor. It's just perfect. I love that song. It's so brilliant. They did it, yeah, because they did it on the Jason Next one

and eded on the Rambow trailer as well. Like I said, during the episode, we're talking about with the meme with homes writting the song the bodies into the floor. So the evolution cash gag, yeah yeah, taking everything from the credit set before that, it turns a whole two minutes and twenty seconds. Yeah. Yeah, the evolution sequence itself just mid twenty second.

I was like, this is going on a while. Maybe that's the key to a good episodeoughybe because they have to try and pad out extra two minutes of gags, because it feels like lately there's been a lot of good episodes or episodes that could have been good if they had to end it at like two minutes earlier, and then they go extra minute and you're like that minute is like left the sour Taste mom out. Yeah, there's just longer couch

gags. Shorter episodes end the episode at the right time. I mean, in the same there's a bit too much filling and filler in the sandwich. How many times have we had like a nice moment and then it's just like it tries to end with home of being a dickhead or something like, Yah, you didn't need that bit longer catch gags. That's what you want. We've solved the problem. Happy birthday, year Home, Happy birthday. Ye. I don't have to make a wish because they already have it. Wonderful

family. I wish for Infinity Hamburgers. Immediately just thought of you. I don't know why I thought of you, but I thought of you. But I feel like that's the wish that guy would make, wouldn't they If we ever get around opening burger joint, which is again one of my dreams. You have a lot of dreams. Called it Infinity Hamburgers. Maybe it's an all you can eat burger joint, but yeah, the business pretty early? Yeah, how was it? How was this that could be me? We

went fishing from burger when you couldn't find one? But yeah, so then he blows tries to blow the candles and he can't actually one another one of my favorite moments. I really enjoyed dance acting over the I just thought that was it just done off really well but obviously got in my notes. Why do we blow on candles, Like even post COVID, I'm like, okay, well, clearly COVID is forgotten about because there was a point in time where I couldn't be within thirty feet of you. Now I'm letting why do

we gt on my cakes? Again? Why do we even do it in the first Yes? This, I mean there are so many traditions that if you take a second or even think about, It's like, why do we bring a tree into our house on Christmas? Why? There is a reason for that though, Isn't it is that? Oh? I'm sure there is, but I mean we don't actually know what it is because I told to do it. Yeah, pretty much everyone does that. It's like, yeah,

why on your birthday? It's like we're going to make you a nice kick, but also we're going to put candles on top of it that you have to extinguish. Why. So this is the thing as a parent now of young kids, they're always going why, They're questioning the world why is that? I'm like, I actually don't know why we do half these things? Oh we just do them? Yeah, I mean I'm finding myself. I mean, I was I ever lose last night and you know, someone

sort of asking something like well to Google. Yeah, And I was probably doing that four or five times last night. I was like, there would there would have been a time maybe when I knew this, or I probably never knew this to Google pre Google? Do you think like our parents, right, they didn't have Google, so they just have to make up a

reason why we do shit. And because you just grew up thinking that was legit, Like do you have a thing in your life where you're like, you always believed that this was the way things went for a reason, or you believe something, and then you got older and I was like, oh, Bobby, was I think this was the ship, this was the but

like Italian you know what I mean? I think this was the era of because I said so, yes, I have dropped that a few times that I'm just like usually that when I say, Alec, can you please do that? But why, I'm like, because I'm the fucking boss, And I said, so, don't ask me, why, just do it? Now? Does to give them that look and he's like the boss of the boss, that's right. So homes trying to blow add candles added shape even for an American And then yeah, so it's now nighttime, he's trying to

borrow it ends up starting a fire because he passes out. Firefighter arrives and saves the day, and they question we discussed earlier, I listen like that Gus has a million. Then Marge gets a fireproof safe and she decides to put the family album in there, which is very marge at. Lisa puts

she was she was going to put what she was going to say. The decision trails like as if, I'm like, that's so obnoxious, But then she goes with the eight year old Melibus Stacey hybrid convertible which runs on old

makeup and add of style shoes. Homer puts the cologne from his first dates the center of a wook center a walking like that, yep, and Bart puts the catch a rising crusty doll in there, but the current events, the Kings, the stones, sounds, my last physical and then he puts that in the safe as well, and then March, there's nothing to worry

about here. Now we have nothing to worry about in case of a fire besides our lives, and she taps on the safe, which, unfortunately, as Homer explains, causes the activates the doll Trust turns on the car's headlines, focusing on the colone, causing it to boil and soon explode, and it obviously goes off. But I thought when the album exploded, I was

like, that would be such a sad moment. Oh my god. Yeah, And the way Marge explained it, I know it's it's meant to be funny, but like, I just love that it's a record of my accomplishments. I felt that's how my mum would see it as Well's like it's a record of everything we've achieved in life. Absolutely. I mean, we have digital versions of our lives, but it's like those old photobos, you can't be Yeah, and when the grid goes down, as it will people or

you'll have the memories inside your head. But you know, us old school types will have albums full of photos apparently, and the state of the Outreak Recording Studio looking down at a big batch of photo albums that were brought over by your mum. Yeah, scan these, yeah. I was like, you want to scan your photo She's like, yeah, that'd be good, and she brings over about three crates worth. I'm like, oh shit, I don't have terror buds of space. It's just the time. Oh yeah,

it's like it's like you imagine like a teacher photocopying ship. Do you teachers do still do photo They still had that paper. It was all laptops. Now I think it's all laptops and all laptops now. I mean it's good for the environment, imagine is it? Is it not? I don't know. I mean apparently suppose the report about recycle paper now so yeah, I mean here the occasual report about you realize that AI is using so much

electricity and power or whatever that it's you know, incredible. It's probably as much of a power drain or as much of an energy No, I've got to stay free. Is he still doing his thing or is he taking a break. I think he's still doing his thing. I think YouTube might have done monetized and but he might be on like other platforms. They're trying to take me down. It's gone. That family album was a record of my

accomplishments. It's like what a resume is for a meme And Lisa accidentally mentions we could restage your photos and we get a little montage year with freeze Frame, which was a good song match the match of the montage. It was again they've they've dipped into the soundtrack budget because there was one or two good songs on this particular episode soundtrack. There was indeed, that's time for the series finale party. They had to have paid for the music of Star Trek

as well. Right, they had the voyage of music plane. Oh yeah, probably yeah, But they've had Startrek parodies on the show before. But Carl's incredibly sad and I just love that they're just so passionate about starting Voyager. What's your one show that you know it's nerdy but you just can't have love it? Is it like Moonlighting for you? Yeah? But that's super cool. So yeah, it was cool. Well it's cool at the time. Two, wasn't it. Yeah? So what's like your your nerdy show

that you're like, I just I just love it. I don't care people know that I like it. It's probably ninety Day Fiance. But when it comes to like actual nerd program like sci fi or fantasy or something like that, there's a couple. It was a I don't know if you'd call it super nerdy because it's actually really super violent, super sexy. But well, violence is sexy, right, that's true. Yeah, two great teas together. Spartacus did you Did you ever watched it? But show? Yeah?

Yeah, because I mean it sort of came out the rain the same time as Game of Thrones, and Game of Thrones of course got all the god all the publicity because it's like, oh my god, it's so valent, medieval and sexy. It's like, maybe I should hip you to an episode of Spartacus, which is basically just insane and it's done sort of in the

style of three hundred. It's got their very stylized approach to it. But it's like, it got to the it got to the final episode and you know everyone, no I'm not, but I'm just gonna be if you know anything about sparta because you know how the story of Spartacus ends. But yeah, it got to the end. I was like, why am I growing at this ridiculous, violent, sexy, comic book of a show, Because I'm really feeling for these characters. We committed so many hours to it.

That's why that is correct. I wasted my life. Wasted my life. That is not one of my favorite Simpsons lines ever. It's just it's so relatable. It's very What do you think your favorite nerdy show. I think for me growing up with Stargate, and I haven't really visited Stargate for so long, and I've always been wanting to. I loved Stargate, That's the

thing. I mean. I don't think I've ever really sort of got into I mean, I was huge in the Star Wars, but I was never really into the whole mythology of it, and you know, like reading the extended universe and like novels and comics and all or even the Day for Loney stuff. I never really sort of got into it. It's like, I like Star Wars, but part of me is kind of like I wish I had the kind of I don't know, especially where it'll be like, yeah, I watch all the Star Treks and you know, and I can tell

you the difference between Space. I wanted to watch Star Trek. I really want to watch Star Trek, yeah, or Stargate, and it's various sort of offshoots. It's like, well, you know, SG one is pretty good, but don't get universes where it's at. I mean, I know, I think I'd enjoy that, but it's just at the same time, I'm not why that way? And also I just don't have enough time.

Okay, we're recreating our series finale party for Star Trek Voyager. Oh man, I thought I was strong enough to get through this again, but I'm not. Oh Captain Jane Waye your mission and soon then Homer is mowing. I really really like this. So at Lisa reading the book. So we had the man in Superman. But that was a great gay Yeah, that was fantastic. But Marjor arriving with the photo trips over home and runs him over. That's why I made it do the ICTs. I was like,

you got me. I actually went free. Decigh of relief. Yeah, because can you imagine how traumatic that would be if you've gone through all that process again. And just because this is back in the day when you have to go get your photos developed out. Yeah, I still remember the excitement of going to pick them up, like they're ready, They're ready. There's a good one watching TV last night. There's an ad for you know, the new Google Phone. It's like, I've taken a picture of my three

kids. Wonder them's pulling a face. But I've taken enough pictures where I can transplant the Yeah, the face from Yeah, a regular face from one photo and put it in on a real photo. It's not a real photo. No, that's what that's the charm of these old school photos is sometimes they're blurry. Sometimes these episodes not looking, but it's like you cherish them because it's like it's everyone in the one photo. I made this work.

And every time that ad comes on, I'm like, I don't like this, and he's look at him like, we know you don't like it. See that cloud. I was literally shave at the cloud. Ah, there's my first sexiit a black looks so cute as a mighty oak in the school play Here I am on the Space Shuttle orbiting True was nice? And how to send you up again? Oh my god? Check out what's happening behind your restaged anniversary dinner. Death Man's on a game with Booberella. He's supposed

to be in a stable, long term gay relationship. Hmmm, this is a celebrity scandal. We could sell that photo to a tabloid and they paid big money for photos. This isn't like you. Well, it's just about what we need to pay for our fire damage. Spooky Homer is now at the inquisitor trying to sell it, and Lindsay Lighthand looking drunk. Hi and bony Se. See, they got a freckles because the last time I had JK. Simmons on as a Nanada who was very much done as Jay jonah

jehe was meant to be that. Now he doesn't look like that at all, but he's doing the same character, which I think is better. I think. So. Yeah, he says, you're making moderately wealthy. Yes, I can rent anything I want like that. That's the dream about your old Dan. I can rent anything I want. But also i'mer rolling around in like the small yes, Pilotney, it would be nice to be moderately wealthy. I don't want to be rich, but just enough righteness, like

I can just relax. Oh yeah, I mean it was a great meme that I saw where it's basically tell me you you know, tell me your wildest family. It's like, I live in a house that's you know, decent sized, got a good, good backyard for the dogs. You know, I can make the mortgage on it pretty easily. Yeah, my car runs pretty well, and you know when it's when I hear a noise, I can take the mechanic. I've got no problems there. The fridge is full of stuff that I like to eat, and you know, I can

occasionally take a holiday. It's like, yeah, that's that's my wildest fantasy. You're pretty much at that point now, right, You get to sort of go on holidays whenever you want to, pretty much. I mean, yeah, I'm not saying that. Yeah, we're about to see you later. Dan up for three weeks in Europe, although I mean we did just spend two and a half weeks in the States, which was pretty admittedly we were staying with our friend who put us up verty decently. Yeah, we

still went. We still went absolutely with to Ballei. I believe the Christmas time last year wasn't Yeah, yeah, we may do that again this year. Yeah, I've been on like three holidays them of Nicola Life with Nichol Holiday. It's now told of the Krusty movie premiere. So obviously Homer has agreed to be the paparazzo. Paparazzi and the kids want the autograph of Krusty. The head things at the door panel. I don't wants to get a photo of Krusty, says no. Then we get Gabbo and still the waters

that vomit versus water. I think, yeah, yeah, yeah, Now fancy farms were all the famous people's shop and you're gonna help me ambush them. I just really liked, Hey, it's rich Texan and Paris texts. I'm like, his last name is tex and I get it ba for mama. Why wish used to carry around that dog? Oh yeah, that little tuaha? Yeah, what's that? Sorry for that thing? And when they're developing photos later in the episode, there's actually photo of her sticking her finger

down the throat. Yeah, so Bart makes fun of Paris Texan's face. She's still breaking in that nose and she said beating him up. This is where isn't the last photo of he like giving him a kiss? Yes? And then Homer's taking photos of celebrities walking out the dry cleaners and I'm thinking, what is this? Why are they're doing this? And I realized what

they're going for. I just I was thinking, is there a Simpsons episode where like Bart ended up having like a Paris Hilton style socialite as a girlfriend. And then I was like, oh no, I think that's a south Park episode. Yeah, Simpsons. So far, we haven't reviewed one like that. Yeah, that's right, but Butter's ended up like a boy as the boyfriend or something like parents to actual Paris Hilton. Oh okay, that's

right, and she wouldn't leave now Paris leave me alone. Okay. We've just entered season four of Gone Down to South Park and it's just it's so great. We're very very happy about that. The next episode we were viewing in this as we speak now is two thousand. Yeah, I can't wait. But then I'm thinking, what this is such a random mishmash of guests,

like celebrities walking out these dry cleaners. Then I realized there are a people who have been on the show as home say, I've met them all, and they never acknowledged my existence because we'd the minute of The first one to come out is mcart. Yeah, Macart. I was like, Oh, interesting are they going to have Yeah, it's like, oh no, it's just just an image. Oh okay, well yeah, that are these all former guest appearances. I feel like this could have been an episode where

you could have crammed in a lot of actual guest cameos. But I think it works bet at being Springfield celebrities. I think so as well. It feels more Simpsony gets more in this their universe. Yeah, because I mean a gimmick. There are occasions when they will go over wear with the guests

out. It's like, this doesn't feel like real Simpsons. This feels like you know, Sweeps week, symptoms, symptoms, or like the special guests include Well, Nicol and I just reviewed the Friends episodes as part one and part two two, part of the one after the super Bowl, which they aired after the Super Bowl thirty because they wanted to capitalize in that audience, and they'll stick of debuting new shows like let's just get our bigger show and

put it after and get the biggest audience. E it was like fifty seven million people watch it or something. Oh, but it's just celebrity guests are heavy, so Jean Cloud, Van Dam, Julia Roberts, Brookshields, Chris Isaacs in there, Dean Caslonetta isn't there as well Fred Willard, and it feels you can tell it's a very special episode of Friends. And whilst it's funny and I enjoyed it, it doesn't feel like Friends. We mentioned I

mentioned in that review. Homer at the Bat where it's a bunch of baseballers and the crew of the Simpsons of the cast don't like that episode because they felt like all the focus was on the guests and not them, like the main cast were secondary, at least in the Friends one. It's funny every guest star is like a love interest of a character like Chris Isaac is a love and just of Phoebe and Julie Roberts's love and just of Chandler and Brooks.

She was loving just of Joey And I'm just like, they couldn't think of a different reason to bring up these guys on the show. But yeah, it's just like it did. It makes it feel different. Yeah, what what's Van Dam doing? That? Is he flirting with the Jennifer Anison. So he's filming a movie outbreak too. I think it is in New York and Marcel the Monkey there and then Monica wants Rachel to ask him out, but he ends up flirting with Rachel and Rachel goes out on a date

with him instead, and Monica get shitty about that. Yeah, but Jean Clovan Dam comes across like a real sogoynist. I think that might be one of his things, or it might have been one of his things back then, because when was this was this? Like, was this in the two thousands or in the ninth day? It was ninety six, at the start of ninety six, I think, yeah, yeah, I think JCVD will admit himself that he had a few lost years in there even when he and

maybe because he was doing so well he was recovering from Street Fighter. That's cooret had that torrid affair with Kylie Minogue on the Street Fighter. Really apparently, so holy shit, I loved that movie as a kid. I haven't watched it for like since I was like eight. I'm like, it's one of the movies where I go, I don't want to revisit it, but I kind of do because it's got Gomez Adams as the main as Bison. Yeah, it does apparently not very well while it was. Yeah, I

think he was he wasn't well. Yeah that's right. Yeah, yeah, is his last film, wasn't it was his last movie? Yeah, Adam's Family not the film. Want to revisit it would be I'd just sort of do the the one two punch of Adams family and Adams family values. Yeah, enjoying them both. Yeah, lots of films to watch. I've been keeping a list, so I've be knocking off my list. I know it's slight detour, but Broken Arrow got off the list. Wish I hadn't watched. I mean it was what it was. I'm just like, Ah,

it wasn't as good as I had hoped. I crossed off Anticonda and Anakonda's Oh did you watch Anon? What do you think? It was good? I mean I enjoyed the first one more, I think more, but this, the second one felt very much like people lug down a Conda. Don't know why. It's make another one real quick, yeah, and just make them bigger. Yeah. Yeah. And it didn't have any like actual sort of stars stars, No, not really no, And it hurt in that

way. And speaking of stars that help a film, I watched Deeply See Sammuel Jackson. Ah, he helped that film so much. Absolutely. Oh man. Yeah, I loved it. I loved Deeply See. They loved it really good. Yeah. There's plenty of other films across. It's just I'm like, this year, all these movies I've always I'm gonna watch, I'm just gonna watch them gonna watch them. I'm glad I have. Yeah,

it's great. I see you all the time saying hashtag now watching I'm like, I wouldn't be that guy lost you said got a bit it was like twelve and you're like, hashtag now watching his TV show whatever, and I was like, it was the first episode of True Detective. By the way, Yeah, I mean, I'm news resolution. I think I've talked about I need to have some new podcasts for the four Finger Disco network, and one of them was going to be TV Guide, So that's the reason

I was watching New Drape True Protective. I'm not trying to put together in just a quick like six minute, seven minute review that we can run on the four thing and I'll leave the room. You can do it right now. I don't want to. I've got I've got stage freight. Don't watch me podcast. Hello, Homer, have you lost weight? Like you care? Betty Waite, tell me how's Maggie. Her name is Marge. I was talking about your baby. Oh she's looking very surfy. Thanks for taking

my picture. If you want me to sign it, here's a stamped, self addressed envelope and give Santa's little help her a big hug for me. Yeah, it's right, just away. How lovely was Betty White there? Like I said, you just feel like that's just Betty White being Betty White. And just her name is Maggie. Her name is Marge your dog. Just you just walk away now the pillow Mint Hotel and Jrederic Tatum is there being all nice and civil. That's a good name pillow Mint, it is.

Yeah, And Homer yeah hip hop album was bothtful and unnecessary. Okay, here we go, just punched away all the various cameras again just yeah. I mean it had good one liners, but also just I think it was more heavy on good visual gags. It was. Yeah, and that one with the multiple cameras was fantastic and all different versions of cameras. Yeah, yeah, like bringing out the old time he won and well played Homer ARTZI good episode, Yeah, it really was. And then she takes it

to the inquisitor terrific, outstanding. This has page one written all over it. What the hell did you do that for? Well? I remember my plate in the book I was reading that it was a gag that I remember pinpoint what episode it wasn't When it came I was like, DiCaprio, that's the worsd that's the world, and it inspired me. I'm just like, I want to do an article of all the best moments, like golden moments, not from the Golden era. For me, this was like one of

them. I know you didn't like it, but Homer with the photo saying, I took a photo of myself to show you how sad I was, and then here's me smiling best because the cat fan the stairs like that to me was like a stand up moment, super sexy Flanders. And there's another one coming up in a couple episodes because I watched through it, I mean walking on the treadmill on the incline, just watching the fashion through season eighteen. The classic quote of I've got three kids and no money. Why can't

I have no kids in three money? That's like an iconic one. I gets memed around a lot, right when people don't have any money. I just assumed from in my mind. I'm like, oh, that's a golden ear quote. It's like in a couple episodes, Well that gets shared so much. Oh I've got three kids and no money. Why can I have

no kids and three money? Yeah? I was really surprised. I'm going to do it an article on the website the right in guys Simpson's mailbag at gmail dot com on lots of contributions, and I will give you credit for it. Older moments of the Simpsons that aren't from the Golden ear So anything post season ten, oh, well, say season twelve? Do you say, say season ten? Anything post season ten that you consider like a golden moment sends it in Simpsons Mailbag at gmail dot com, and I will definitely

give you the credit for pointing it out. I'd love to hear from you, guys also just in through some questions. Yes indeed, and yeah, I won't attribute you know, but Danno might. Homer and Bart are developing photos in Lisa's room. We get Crusty exposing himself in the photo and Paris gag and the dog go getting punched by his ventriloicist. What is the venturlicist

name? I can't remember he has a name. We should get this Gabbo's Venturlicus of the Bok Arthur crandall, okay, yeah, I've been calling him crandall things I learned today Arthur crandle there you go but miss developing all the photos. Listen, you can't stay and here you're going to keep talking. So home And says, you know when you come have daddy pours some chemicals, puts it straight to sleep. It's not true here, but it is true. Kids. They always say they're not tired, and the most tired

of all that is one hundred percent truth. We kids say I'm not tired. I'm like, go to fucking bed now. Why Because I said so? Homer is now showing March all the photos in the Inquisitor, and this was just nice pointing out, like marg're trying to be old right, just saying I can't believe you're doing this. I feel bad. You can't put that shit down? Oh absolutely not. Yeah. Do tabloid magazine still exist to this extent, Like it's just I feel like it's more just online things

now, like very much. The physical form probably not so much. But because you're past the magazine standing like there's this one that Nikola reads occasionally. I get it. It's like the Royal family tabloid magazines. It's important from the UK. I guess people still buy them, but I think it's more just like clickbait online now, I think so. Yeah, I mean, I think paparazzi stuff, I mean, it'll always sort of prides itself on the immediacy of it, So I mean, yeah, they quicker that you

can get it out there end of the world. I imagine that's the that's the main aim. It's hard to get the exclusive now too, because people just they can just take the picture, save it and just get because people with watermarks. Entertainment Weekly often puts like a watermark or Vulture puts a watermark, you can photoshop that shit out so easily people to steal the imagery.

So it like you can. But people back in the day, if you had the exclusive photo of like a car crash or someone smooching someone else when they shouldn't be, like, you paid big bucks for it. But do you think people still get paid big bucks for the exclusive? They get paid big bucks exclusive for like interviews now, I think, but not so much photos that I had. I think I think they still get paid affair amount

do. I just can't imagine how you could just say you're, you know, running TV guide, right and you're paying tabloid magazine and you're someone's coming to you with a photo that's incredibly raunchy. It's Chris hams Worth cheating on his missus with I don't know, Tina fat right, incredibly want you good happen? Yea, yeah whatever? Right? And it's like, would I, as a as an editor, pay big money to have that to be the first to run it because I know within one minute it's gonna be all

over Twitter without any credit to me. Well that's the thing. I mean, if you're if you're the solo person who have taken and I feel like, because no one breaks this one people, well you might break the story, but no one, not everyone credits anymore. Yeah, I mean I think you're a halfway said person. You would like, I don't think anybody

else has got this picture of Chris and Tina. If you're someone who just wants attention to be like, guess what I just saw, guys, and then you put it on Twitter or you put it on whatever, you put it on Instagram to boost your own person. It's about boosting you own personal social media. Give me lakes, you know. But I mean, if you're a smart person, probably go to TMZ or something out like that and said guess what I've gone here? How much do you want for it?

And you know I might pay you five figures, six figures or something for oh yeah, absolutely did he ever pay for like photos? I don't think so. Not not well, but it was a reputable until having said that, Darren Grece, I mean not Dann Grays and he's a hairdresser. Good guy. Helped shout out to Darren Darren Lyons. Yeah, who you know, became a real sort of paparazzi. Came the mayor yeah yeah, and then became the mayor of Geelong and you know it was a Christmas tree and

free parking on the weekends. Good on him. I mean you got some things right. I mean we get free parking the weekends. We forget about that, like we didn't have free parking on the weekend before. But he's a guy sort of drives around Gelong and then is he the one with the Ferrari. He's got a Ferrari, doesn't he? I have no idea.

I think he was driving some high and automobile around Gelong. It's kind of as I've always said, you can top out it, maybe a Porsche or a or a very nice Mercedes, and Geelong you don't want to, you don't want to? Land would you ever buy one? Then? If you had the money to buy one, would you buy one? No? I wouldn't. No, I would again top out it like a nice Porsche for the money, but buy a million dollars worth of Big Max Infinity Burghers that

I spent seven hundred Conor patterns. That's what I'd spend my money off. Yeah. I just seeing like a Lamborghini or a Ferrari driving around Geelong. It's like this just doesn't feel right now, It's it's weird. Yeah, but I did like here though, the whole side show, mel is in the custody battle when it's turning bitter and who makes it by the magazine? But what is it? Why do we love gossip as human beings? We love gossip. I don't know what out there that says they don't buy into

gossip. You're full of shit. Oh we love a good juicy gossip story. Absolutely, always always have. I think as long as human beings have been able to talk and keep secrets and do things that other people don't want to know about. Yes, there's been gossip. I'm sure there's books and all manner of stuff written about the psychology. They should track that down, because I mean, it's kind of an interesting thing. Why we this is a thing. So the Sihammel one, he'd actually have to pay off letter

in the episode, you notice there's the custody battance going bitter. Pay attention to that. I usually like Sarmel, but I like the way they sort of keep that little through line throughout the episode and experts disagree on location of Heaven. I hope that catches a helicopter to wolf Castle's wedding, very much like Dressy Park. Oh yeah, that was very much a shout out,

wasn't it. Yeah, but he didn't touch the harness. Do we attach it if you don't mind the timing of that gag just felt slightly off, just slightly, but I was like, I know what you're doing here, It would feel very depending on you've got a time. That shs right next, just slightly I like to have paid off. Yeah, but they he's going now to make a young woman's wedding day all about himself and she's marrying a quimby Freddie's there. Yeah, I did like I did like home as

catch, raise up, up and annoy. Now do you make a young woman's wedding day all about me? Do you right now? Luftwaffle wolf Castle take Maria Shreiver Kennedy Quimby to be your lawful wedded and annoy? Are you also requirements? Man? Is that horrible man gone yet? Yes? Mother borring some sort of pendulum effect First Amendment rules, privacy jewels. Time to squash that shut up bug. You promised me one day where you wouldn't swear

revenge on someone. Promise revoked. So we come back from commercial and we're now at wolf Castle's mansion and he says, greetings, famous faces and sizzling stars. Cruss his response to his evite was the least funny, but he didn't get the jpeg. I'm like, that is so twand and seven the jpeg two. He says, you know he learned in his film what the film was called. But in order to feed a robo knights, you need

another robo knife. So defeat the paparazzo, you need another one. And he's brought in Enrico Razzio voice by the legendary John Lovetts correct same voice for every character he does. But I never get sick of it. That's because you're a human being with a soul. How are you gonna help us be for RONI allow me to explain. I take embarrassing the pictures of a Homer had asked him day and night just as well. Be heard of that, and now you will be a god in your eyes. See it is good.

I declare it's meeting a churned Now, please take some sushi, because if I give it to the dogs, they will take Oh. Now I get sushi all the time, and I am not made of sushi. Homer's now hanging Maggie from the mirror to the TV guy. I'd taken her seat belt and I just like that. She loved it as well. She was like laughing a great time, obviously incredibly dangerous. But Enrico arrives taking photos

trying to make you look like a bad father. Maggie take the wheel, and just various photos like Homer wanting privacy when he's taking the shower out and the fire hydrant, things like that poo burns wolf Castle in side sho mail or reading it. Of course we get a side show mail line. I'm

going to make it my screen saver somehow. I'm like, ah, okay, Homer is now asking in quizittor why do you publish all these photos of me, basically saying, well, I've got no friends, and we get just just like classic like JK. Simmons dialogue, jameson Dialogue isn't Yeah. Just now, Homer says he's gonna be giving up photography because you know, if he feels terrible because it now happened to him. He also gives up

his medication and gets a clot whatever. But now at the snub club and they're back to their lives of super excess excess, yes themselves and he don't live today. Sidea Sosacha Mal's there with Princess Jasmine, you know, the stripper right, so he's clearly she's like he's his tail on the side. The divorce isn't going too well. And then we pan across too mos. Now did you notice the rain? No, So the snub Club's going off. It's a great night, music going and it pans across the street and

the rain going forty five degree angle towards Mo's and everyone's sad. Listen to them, they're on the job of the world. Well, I'm sitting here pretending I have a steel because of a bunch of stuff that happened home. I don't be so quick, tor band in this Papa ratchet thing. Yeah, it's an American tradition to cut people down his size because they brought so much joy into our lives. You know what can't stand that? Robin Williams.

You know what time I saw him eating dinner with his children. He wouldn't take the time out to do all the funny bits from his movies. And my sister would saw Burt Reynolds at the airport and he wouldn't even co side a mortgage. You guys are ruing. I hated to get back in the game. Oh but I threw away my camera. Oh he used this one. I was gonna use. Had to take secret photos in a lady's tailet, But no dame's ever come in this joint. Very small. Sure,

excuse me? Do you have a ladies room? We need to trade bras and panties. Oh you gotta be kidding me. Yeah, little love it was. It was very on brand for MO but a little love color. I felt I just didn't seem a fitness episode. I was like, ah, I didn't really need it. But Homer then goes it goes over and this was awesome. Actually, Krusty makes the smoothie out of money. You call this a drink? No one never said it was a break And how do you want your come up and eat by ten or wallet size?

Hide your shame? And Parish is kissing Mealhouse, Tatum is sniffing up the ashes of who secretary at the races, Mel is eating the flag and Kemp Brockman is tasing quimby in and they both like gimk yeah. Home then says he's going to do nothing with the photos. Though. All you have to do in return is show us a little respect to the people who made you who you are. Allow civilian to write a terrible children's book for you.

I support a charity from something that doesn't It hasn't happened to someone of your family. It's like, that's so funny, because how often does like someone dying in a family of a celebrity. And it's like, I'm now starting a new charity. It's like we could just support an already existing one. That's true, that's true. Why did to start a new charity in your name? It's like, just support the ones that have been there forever that

need your help. Good point. But then he invites because he's not gonna do anything with the photos, Renu invites him to the offshore party platform, off sure party platform. That's it. I like that. Yeah, But side Joe mal was there with his son. I was like a little bit of a payoff there. So he's a father Drederic Tatums just then in the background wearing Homer's old clothes, like the white shirt and the blue pants or so they meant to make you miss and every day. Man, I don't

know. The march shows Renure with Castle an unsolicited manuscript of missus mum and celebrity has been celebrities. He's like, I don't don't read that stuff. Cue. At least it got made. It reminds me of an early nineties Whole Cogan film, like Mister Nanny. Oh yeah, well it isn't other that. It was like Santa Claus Base You remember that one. It was just called Santa with Muscles, with muscles wasn't Yeah, what are we doing here? Cinemator is there? At least it got made, as much says,

and yeah, That'samarazzi a great episode. It's pretty good. Yeah, I think like going through it, you appreciate it more than there's so many gags and one liners and just there was no real moments that maybe it's at roll my eyes and I wish I wasn't there even like the moment I was like, if it's the character, Yeah, yeah, I mean Homer wasn't wasn't jerky or anything like that paparazzi. A paparazzo is a jerk, so

that aspect of the character. But even then, I mean, I think I think I speak for both this when I say we don't like it when Home is a jerk to his family, no or for no reason. Yeah, whereas this, I mean we can all, we can all appreciate. Yeah, take that celebrities, you know when the jerk and this is pointing in the right direction, like, yeah, we appreciate that. Yes,

yeah, especially when you bring out people at Paris. Because in this point in time, she copped it, didn't she like from the press and yeah, there's so I think she really played up the car. She steered into it as shit. She's like, how can I make some money? Play up this character. She thrived on pissing people off. Oh yeah, I mean again, for as long as there's been any form of show business, there's always been the character of the man or whatever character the man you love

to hate. Yes, yeah, yeah, I mean we talked about Space earlier. I mean he made a pretty decent career out of playing that kind of person. And yeah, you could do you could, of course apply of course you apply that to reality TV. You mean, you've always got to you've got to have heels and baby faces. Pro wrestling is just like

the most simple storytelling of all time. Absolutely it is. Yeah, yeah, but I mean you look at even early seasons of like Survivor, it's like, oh, you've got to have the one who's you know, kind of like oh they think I'm doing this, but I'm actually doing that. And Paris Hilton just did that. But she wasn't even hiding behind a character. It's just like that's right, I'm ranch Kardashian. Oh yeah, yeah. I mean I don't think that even the Kardashians do it as villainous anymore.

I think they've kind of they're kind of just like lifestyles are rich and famous, and I think Parison was doing that to some degree. But I think she also was pretty savvy and like you either love me or you hate me, but you're talking about me. My man Oscar Wild once said, there's no Yeah, there's no such thing as bad publicity, hundred percent. Yeah, And I still buy into that, Oh is there? I mean, Jonathan major Is might pig to differ, but that's true. That's true.

Yeah, but yeah, I do buy into that to an extent. That line the whole. Any publicity's good publicity until it ruins your career. Yeah, that's the only thing. I mean. I think you've got to be kind of cluey about how is this sustainable? Is this sustainable? And if it's not, let's cash in as quickly as possible and let's you know, gather as much as we can. You know, during a nut gathering

season, do you reckon like slabs from like the seventies, eighties? It's a bid nineties, right, look back now, I'll look now and go, fuck, well, lucky social media wasn't around. Oh god, I think everyone thinks that because there's we've all had a moment in our life we were just gone, I think funk, no one knows what happened. Oh my god, years what do we learn? Bomber? All right? That was what do you learn from this episode? That's a pretty good question.

You find out I learned that first moment rules. Oh but privacy rules. Yeah. I learned that one stem cell of heater is never enough. It's never enough. What's your what would be your lead to trade moment? If someone brought out something at a party, Oh, sliders for me to be sliders, chicken sliders. Chicken slider is a good one. Or I've had a party recently and they had it catered and one of the things was like little either like Indian lamb cutlets and oh shit, that one nice. Everyone

was kind of like, give me it's cutler girl. Yeah. But do you find sometimes at parties where you're like, I really like this just for me. It's usually aaron chini ball or something. It's like I love them, right, but it's like how many can I eat before people start going fatty fat fat fat? Or people start going for the rest of us, Yeah, fat fuck. Yeah, that's what It's true. It's one you got to be really cautious about. It is all your sort of like I

think it's like three of the one item. Once you go more than three, everyone's like, calm down, mate, he's up on the Arranini balls there for everybody. Are you talking about ones where they're being passed around or one whether they're on the table now when they're being passed around, Remember like because the chicks comes passing and it's just like to have another one. She's like another one? Fine? Uh I remember like occasionally foot it like at

the present room. It then continia park why as we all do as you do it? You know three hounter time they bring out the little tray of like party pies and little Saussage rollers, like I would be like a little you're relating to the every man here. Do you know when you go to footying, you sitting in the President's room. From day forward, your names

will be new names, mister Davis. All right, So the current leaderboard stands at this in first position, we of course have our man Philip J. Hawkins seventeen points, Kyle muldoon clever Kyle in second position on fourteen points, and Luke McKay he's done it again on eleven points in third position. Let's see if those numbers change when we do the new name challenge for Homerazzi. One point goes to stop or my Dad will shoot. That is Luke

McKay's done it again. He's now on twelve points. He's got one vote closer to our man, Philip J. Hawkins. Well, let's see what happens with two points goes to pap smear. Perhaps Kyle muldoon clever Kyle, Kyle's two points closer to Philip jay Hawks. Now Kyle's on sixteen points, so he's only one point behind Philip J. Now sixteen points and seventeen points can bend. This can be really interesting because three points are going to fat Man Snoop, Fat Man Snoop? Is Philip? Are you shitting me?

I'm actually not again, You've got three two one again we have to reiterate listeners, new name challenges done blind, You've got what they thought they were getting closer, and then Philip's just like, I'm actually further away now, particularly because it's gone. The leader board was three to two one. Oh my god. Kyle Muldoon was literally for about I don't know, twenty seconds, one point behind. First is now for girl's listeners going yeah, it's

me Carlstime to shine And then this happens. Oh guys, look, I'd say I'm sorry, except I'm not because this is really interesting and kind of fun. Here all right, first question here comes from Rachel MacLean. Do you think paparazzi slash photographers are two intrusive and celebrities lives so sure? Summer, I think taking photos when they're out in family vacations and stuff is a pretty shitty deal. It seems like they're out in the beach or whatever.

It's like they're with their kids. Just let them hang out. I'm sure it has sort of become oh yeah, okay, this is part of the deal. Okay, take a few shots. And I mean, I think you've got a lot of a lot of celebrities who go, all right, guys, you got five minutes, take of all the shots you want,

but then leave us alone. And you've got some par rubber. You've got some paparazzi who had been around for a while and know the tricks and probably have even built up sort of decent relationships with the talent where they go, okay, yeah, that'll be fine, I'll get what I need to get. But then you've got others who are probably like enthusiastic amateurs or just trying to kids with phones in their hands or in just kids with phones in their

hands, gout it's door. We keep going to Chris Hamsworth for this. Is he the biggest Australians. I'm Margo Robbie Now, yeah, I think Margo Robbie is probably leading the pack. Yeah she really is, all right. Ryan King says a bit of a cliche question, but we celebrity living or dead? Would you most like to hang out with? For me, it would probably be Mick Fleetwood. Mick Fleetwood so we could talk drumming and music all day. I just think Black would be fun to hang out with.

It just seems like an absolute dude. Yes, have you seen because I rewatch Shallow Hell recently? Have you seen Shallow Hell? I have seen Shallow So there's a scene where so he's seeing people for their beauty on the inside, right, and he goes to the burn Ward but doesn't know it's the burn Ward and he's talking to all the kids and the way he's hanging out with the kids and making him feel special, Like I think, I feel like that's just Jack Black. I feel like that's who he would be.

Because there's a video on social media of where there was a fan of his who was wheelchair bound. Yes, and he's like he like, listen played the song, sang the song for him. I'm like that just what a fucking legend. Yeah yeah, I thought that was pretty cool. Yeah, oh god, Affleck. I'd want to hang out with Bennett Fleck. Okay, what would you ask him? What would you want to talk about? I think we just go to Dunkin Donuts and get like a crawler and

a cup of coffee and just you know, talk shit. I'd want to ask him about you know, they're making a good one hunting and you know, Muggie, you're big on air, weren't you? I was big on air. I kind of liked it. Yeah. I just think Affleck strikes me as a really cool dude. He does. He seems like sometimes he's like a awards ceremonies and stuff and it's just like he doesn't want to be there. Yeah, So I get the feeling he'd probably be quite canned about.

This part of it suck, but this part of it's cool. Yeah. Yeah, I think yeah, Affleck afflic and I go Jack Black Final one here Andrew Swan, what's the strangest photo that you do? We have no, Andrew j JP this week, Andrew, wait, I've got top, that's top. Oh, I haven't got all comments. I think the top comments. Oh J, it's become kind of a mail bag tradition. Yeah, and you look, guy looked genuinely sad there. If it lost, JP, pack up the show. That's it. We are now the

the m CU of podcast. That's the shark jump over it. But Andrew JP says, thoughts on the paparazzi, their scumbags will do anything for a sensationalist story or just regular Jonah's following orders from their editorial team. Answer this, but yeah, yeah, yeah, Look, I think a lot of paparazzi, a lot of freelancers, Yeah, a lot of their own sort of their own employers, like gotta get the skip, Yeah, I got to get that incriminating snap. Yes. Harrison McClure says, what's the best

meeting of celebrity interaction meeting? I think it means all celebrity interaction story you've ever heard, good or bad. His is one is a bit long winded, but he'll keep it brief because he knows Dando would really like it. At my old barbershop, one of my colleagues's clients. Was a chef who used to be part of an agency for celebrities, etc. So he would always give us a brief of which ones he met who were cool. So Margot, Robbie was cool, Beyonce wasn't, etc. But one time he

cooked for Paul McCartney and his family at their home in the Cotswolds. After the dinner, Paul invited him to the front room for a drink and a chat with a family, and he was apparently incredibly nice when the grandkids were sent to bed, but asked him to play a song before bed, so he whacked out a guitar and started playing Yesterday. So in short, this fellare got a private gy with a beetle. That's pretty rad. Yeah, that's a good story. I don't mine is John Devolton. I've told him

numerous times in his podcast you know my mom? Yes, yeah, where he just I remember saying basically, if you haven't heard the story, it was a meet and greet with John Tavolta. I went just because you know, I wanted to be able to tee this up from my mum, my mum worship. John de Volta absolutely loves the man, and as I was getting my photo, I just said to him the next person, my mom, she's an angel and she absolutely loves you. You can make extra specially

that be great, And he was just like, what's the name. I said, Marsha, And I remember like walking off and hearing me say Marsha, and my mom just broke down crying, and it's like he made an extra special. But I always remember the moment. I wish I had have like got my phone out and filmed it, but they were like no phones, that kind of thing because I'm doing a meet and greet taking their own photos themselves. But I looked over him and he was hugging and he gave

my mom. She went to walk off, and he pulled it back for a second hug and looked over at me and gave me a wink. And I was like, what an absolute fucking legend. That's that's the Lord behaving. Good on him, Yeah, good on him. What about you have a moment like that with a sort of yeah, I mean, oh god, it's coming up on about ten years ago now. But Bruce Campbell of Evil Dead fame, you might have mentioned this. Actually he did the gig with him. Yeah, he came to Melbour to do a bit of a

meet and greet. He was signing posters and doing photo ops with with fans, and he was presenting the first two episodes of Ashpst. Evil Dead, the TV series for this smaller the premiere, Yeah, for this small audience at a cinema in Melbourne. And I hosted the Q and A beforehand, and I've always sid yeah, I mean I was watching him, you know, take all these photos with let's face it, these dogs. Yeah. Yeah, but before before it would be like, okay, be cool.

And I've always said for that second they were cool, and they were. You could just sort of see them change. They change. Yeah, it transforms them, it really does. And that was fantastic. And then I hosted the Q and A with with Bruce who I can call Bruce cos we're best buds. Up coming guests on the show, one would hope. So actually he'd be a fucking good gues Yeah. I keep meaning to sort of try and d m him via social media, remember me? And they gave

host that thing in Melbourne. Sure you'd do it, but could you possibly give me like a what do you call it? A testimonial? For you know if oh, yes, I remember guy hosting this Q and A. You did a really professional job. It's like, please do that for me. But at the end he like, I just went for a handshake and yeah, say thanks very much for all that. And he sort of did like the you know he turned it yeah, yeah, no, the yeah, the handhakeer you grabbed the thumb instead, Yeah, like the bro hands

that one. Yeah yeah, and sort of pulled me a little bit closer and that that was good. That went really well, and I'm like, oh, yeah, so that was one of my favorite interactions. And then you had the one we had a cigarette with the dude from Sons of Anakinton that was pretty neat. Actually, yeah, I was hosting a couple of Q and as with some of the Sons and Anarchy cast members. Did one

in Adelaide and one in Melbourne, and then the one in Adelaide. Yeah, we were ended up out front of this guy, Mark Boone Junior's hotel. You'll reckon, you know, Mark Boone Jr. Long frizzy hair, long frizzy hair. Be it sort of looks like he just came down from the mountain. It's not siled. Oh, yeah, yeah, I mean and terrific actor. He's been in so much stuff over the years, and high profile stuff as well, and may being a bit of a dog.

No? Actually no, it's sorry, I'm working on Batman begins. He said, yeah, man, absolutely, And it turns out Gary Oldman it was an arsehole because he had like one big thing with Gary Oldmans, like he didn't give me anything. It was an asshole.

He gave you a scene. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. So we're in front of this hotel in Adelaide on like a Tuesday night, smoking a sig talking about movies. That's cool. He wast your dream thing, isn't it right? Oh? Absolutely, just hanging out just chatting movies. Yeah

I mean, I was just meant to do an interview with one of the guys from Sons of Anarchy and then the promo guy said, the theo Rossia carst Memory, who I spoke to the Beard, right, he's the one that played like the he was a younger Yeah, he was a younger guy. Oh no, Kim Coat. Kim coats. Yeah, it was also on he was on that tour, wasn't he he was? Yeah? I think was he the the ball guy was the I think he always has his hair?

Interview went really well, and the person only tours said have you ever done any sort of Q and A work or hosting works? Yeah, I've done some of that, and what do you want to do this and this? And I'm like,

I flew me into Adelaide and paid me, and I mean Peede worked last and also I was like, sorry, this me rab iting on, but I mean I was like, oh, I'm going to do my research on Sense of Anakin. I'm going to come up with all these questions like no, we've got a list of questions for you. We've got a running sheet, so I don't have to do any work. I get paid to speak. Yeah, pretty much, wouldn't that be fun, and by the end of it, I was kind of like, you know,

not ripping, but you do a bit of free associating. And I was given Kim Coach's ship for being Canadian. Kim is like he's still in my spot, Like, get this fucker off the stage. This is always dead. Yeah. I find a question to Andrew Swan, what's the strangest photo that you have on your camera? Role?

That's my life. This is like, this is like Dan Doe's Peter Dinglige on on Game

Yeah, I think we we do our season and like wrap up, this will definitely be in both

our top threes. I think so. Yes. Yeah, but next episode is Marge Gamer. And this is an episode that is not as good as Amarazzi Hamarazzi, but it's enjoyable for what it is. So Essentially, the story is that Bart is playing an online video game and then Marge joins the online video game to play with him, to be part of her son's life, and shouting has happened, my favorite kind of thing that happens. Yeah, and there's also an enjoyable b plot with Homer and Lisa as well.
