Midnight Towboy (S19E03)

Maggie's crying. She's not crying. She's celebrating her independence. Don't crash that party. One hug can't hurt, Yes it can. Hugs are drugs, and your daughter's an addict. I guess it's time to let my little girl grow up. Four finger discount, dude, Welcome to four figure discount where this week we hit the review episode three of season nineteen. It is not

Midnight Towboy. It is midnight towboy. I'm Dano and I am guy, And yes, I'm looking across at a very uh oh, no watery gentleman, a very misty eyed fellow, because this is the episode that may well. This is an episode that made Dando gray. He cries at the drop of the hat these days. Umm, I, on a hand, had no soul. I felt nothing at all. You didn't like this one.

I liked it fine. There were bits that that I enjoyed. Certainly, there were a few little green lines on my notes here, because there were bits that I enjoyed. But did it strike me as deeply and for family as it did you? I'm not sure. But then again, I'm a solo artist, man, I'm rolling alone through as well. You could have little baby guys out there somewhere, but I think it is more than likely.

I think it's an episode that you need to really be a parent and live through the moment of them finding the independence to truly appreciate that bee pop because I think the b PLoP with Marge and Maggie was better than the a plot in this episode. I just thought, and I'm watching this going this just has a woman's touch, with a mother's touch to it, I should say, And it was. It was Stephanie Gillis al Jeane's wife who wrote this episode. Al Jane's wife here saying yes, al Jane's wife. She

did such a great job with this episode. I just thought there were so many elements to it and the ending. We always say here on this show, when you hit the landing, it leaves you happy. You sort of think the episodes is better than what it did. Sometimes you can have a good episode has a really crappy ending and the endything wasn't as good as I thought it was. This one here for me stuck the landing and I thought it was just so sweet. It wasn't on the do it for her levels.

But I'll tell you what I was getting there. I thought, when when when she says that but drugs are drugs, hugs a drug and she says, shouldn't say it, but she goes to pacified slash dummy in her mouth and gives her that big squeeze. I thought that was beautiful. I thought it was one of my favorite endings in a long time. I'm glad you felt that way. I'm very happy that you're you know that you conjuct

emotions for you. I'm feeling good for you in that regard because we brought in the counselor for the trying to get them to go to sleep and things like that, my kids, Holly and Alliott, and I was how Marge approached this. That was very much me. It was almost like I was watching myself. I never I didn't near in the groin obviously, but they they came in and it was just the I know what's best for your kid,

and I've gotten my notes. There's one of my fa I'll spoil one of my favorite moments here because the line of all the cancelors are available day and night because they don't have families of their own, and none of these people had their own kids. But yet they're experts on how to raise children, yet they're never raised children. Not all of them obviously, but the ones that we hired, and they her mentality was let them cry it out, And I'm like, you know what, I'm not going to do.

Let my child just cry it out. I know it worked to an extent in this episode. Sometimes it does work for people, but it's hard and sitting there listening to your child cry. I know you have to be a little bit tough, but you've got to find that balance between them finding their independence and still nurturing them because you can't just be crawns let them cry out. Some parents choose to do that, and it probably works for them. I couldn't do it. So I've really related to margin this episode as a

result. Okay, the one I can say why you appreciated this episode more because well, yeah, look, all these experiences that you're talking about are you know, one hundred percent foreign to me. Anytime my baby starts crying, I'm out of there. But but also Marge having to come to terms with the child being independent. Now, so I wake up and Elliott will make you his own breakfast and put the TV on and things and I think you don't really need me, and then I go, wait a minute.

Your bag's not packed. You know, you haven't flushed the toilet properly, you haven't done this, you haven't made your bed, you haven't. Ah, you still need me because you're still it's still an animal. My work here is not done. No, exactly. So they you need to let them think they're being not let them think, but let them be themselves and let them be a little bit independent, but also make them aware you aren't

quite ready to take on the world yet. Yeah. Look, I imagine, yes, that there is a it's a fairly difficult time for parents because you understand that well, no, you brought them into this world. You're responsible for just about everything that your babies. Yeah, they need so much from you, and to have that reduced ever so slightly pretty much every single day. Yeah, there's going to be a feeling about that. I imagine that's going to be ongoing, probably for the rest of your life. Yeah.

Yeah, your kids will always be your kids. That's why I thought this the ending here of Maggie's still saying, I am you know, I'm still have to look after myself in other ways now, but I'll always need to hope for my mum. And that's just thought was just the perfect way to end this story. I thought it was just so sweet. Okay, then, like I said, I'm very glad that you got that out of

that. I was personally looking at this going I'm not really buying Maggie breaking out of the house and riding sands little help like a horse to track down Homer. Oh, she's done this since the start of the show, though she's always been you know, when Homer alone, I think it's season three,

season four, I see them three. I think when Marge goes surround Chevlaxo and Maggie goes looking for her Right, granted, she's just a baby going for a wander looking for her mum, but she's still getting out of the house and going to do things. I liked the montage of her Sands walt to help. I guess the circumstances surround the episode. Surrounding specific incidents within an episode will have something to do with how you take those moments and

how you not how you feel about them. I was like, Okay, this is happening. I guess when just being an oblivious dumb jerk to this. I think I'd rather take this for you the lesser of two evils, then let's call it that. Yeah, I just but I really really liked this episode. I liked the a plot as well. Well. What I will say though, is that, well, what I liked about it was the fact that I can buy Homer as a toe driver. He was good

at his job. And the thing I didn't like was that we didn't really get a resolution to the story because because Maggie breaks them out, Louis knows where he lives. Louis doesn't come and try and resolve. Hey, come back, I still know you still owe me money or whatever for going on my territory. But also Springfield broke into chaos and there's no resolution to that. The last thing we see is the train go through the city and the blimp and it's a pirate ship. But then that's it. Like that,

we don't have Springfield go wait, we do need order. It was just they break out into chaos and that's that's the last we see of it. Why wasn't Springfield chaotic before Homer started doing his toe job. That's true. Yeah, they allude to Chief Wigham Ah gave that fatman. Sorry, I'm mixing up my voices. Basically got to be Quimby say about Wigham, just if I wanted everything to be ordered and structured, I wouldn't have hired this guy to be the police chief, right, he said, Hey, look,

Ralph, the man knows that his name or whatever it is. Yeah. Right. I didn't actually think of the element either. It's just they break into chaos all of a sudden because Homer wasn't giving them tickets, but so that they broke out because it's because maybe you playing Devil's advocate ding Ninding as you say, Homer showed them what it is like to actually have some

sort of structure and not illegally park. And then once they saw someone else doing it again, they went, hey, wait a minute, because it was more of a spiteful wasn't it. It was very Oh, if you're doing it, I'm going to do it, and then everyone that's going to chain reaction. Yeah, but still I thought we needed a resolution to it. Oh yeah, absolutely, I mean I think it's something that it's the main story of the episode. Yeah, that The Simpsons has maybe dropped the

ball on in recent episodes, maybe even recent seasons. It's like, we don't so much end as we stop. I really liked Matt Dylan as Louis, though loved Matt Dylan is Louis. When I first heard that voice, I'm like, that's familiar, Mat Dylan. H this is how you use a guest star, you know, as we've said, you don't have Hey, look it's Matt Dylan. It's just him playing a role. And you get to the in credit and go, oh shit, that was Matt Dylon. That's the best guest start of me. Yeah, of course by this

stage, because what year are we talking in there? What two thousand and seven? This would have been two thousand and seven. Yeah, yeah, I mean Matt Dylan's one of those guys who's been around since what the early eighties or whatever, been in some big movies. Is a name that people

automatically recognize. For the most part. I wouldn't say he's never never been like a megastar on the the level of say Tom Cruise or like some of his contemporaries, like even like Rob Lowe or someone like that, but he's someone who's always been around. It is always very very dependable, will occasionally break out and make you realize I woned about that guy. Yeah, he's really good and he's been good in everything. The first time I saw him

as a kid. You remember how many a nineties kid was there's something about mary. Yes, exactly right. So every once, every once in a while, every few years or so, he'll being in something a high profile and like, oh yeah, this guy, yeah, yeah, always delivers. But I was thinking about this when you know, watching him in this episode, it's like, I don't really know anything about Matt Dillon his life. I don't know he's married and he has kids. That's true. He

just seems like he's someone's friend. Yeah, but he's a guy who worked constantly always, you know, gives you the good story. Would you like to know would you like to know him? I would like to, or maybe I wouldn't. Maybe the well, I'm going to look it up. You look it up. How do you think he is. I think he's going to be somewhere like sixty two now he's sixty. Yes, he has brothers and sisters. Well, we all know about Kevin d Okay, Johnny

Drama. Oh so I didn't realize he was dating Diaz during the ear of the Something about Mary was he his partners with Kaptain Diaz for three years ninety five to ninety eight. The dude keeps it life profile. I like that, and it says here Roberta Mastro Michelle. I don't know her forty seven years. She sounds like a resident of Guido Town or what. Yeah, I'm not too sure she's really She's an actress known for nine. She was

in nine The Tourist as well. Anyway, he was dating her until this year, so maybe they've just split up, or maybe he's still dating her. I'm not too sure, but that he's been dating her since it says here twenty fourteenth, the last ten years, so I don't think he has kids. The upshot of this is, oh, he was wild things, of course, and he was wild things. He doesn't need to get married. He had the threesome witham that's going to keep him busy for the rest

of his life. That he was dating Karon Diaz, Molly mat you scamp, but in two thousand and seven. I don't think it's necessarily going to draw in the punters. If they say this week on The Simpsons, it's bad down, they'll be like, okay, and He's definitely the kind of guy that you can tell people who work on the show with love. Oh yeah, we're getting let's get Ma Dylan in. That'd be cool. Let's get a role for him. And I thought he just played Lully so well,

he really did. I really liked this new town of the Springfield universe that's obviously close enough to be well, it's on the border obviously Shelbyville. It felt like it'd been there forever. I really liked the parody of them all being you know, you just your typical yo yo. Yeah, yeah, what was it? It's called it Guido. I mean it's Gweedo on the name Gweydopolis, Guidopolis. Yeah. So, Also, Louis apparently is dressed similar to Steve Randall played by Tom Cruise from the movie The Outsiders,

which also started at Dylan. It was Dallas in that. Oh God, for joy, my favorite. Did you have any favorite moments in the episode? I've written down here Props to Matt Dylan. I mean, I'd just like the way he delivered lines like that murder murder, murder, suicide. Well that was fantastic. It also where he was talking about the various nicknames that he had the cars and Homo side. Those were pretty funny. I went to the mudflaps. That's still two sexy for my wife. You do

one silhouette and odds forever. I just like the initial note sexy young thing, average body, Homer body, just as you got a bit of a teary moment, a sentimental moment out of the ending. Yeah, I did like when Lee, when Maggie rescued Homer home was to pee you back and returning your news. Yes again, Homer was a good father. And this you think, how can you go from Homer being that joke with mister Burns and the plane two episodes ago to this where he goes, oh wait a

bit, that's Lisa's nose. I was like, see you still know how to write in to be a good father? What are you doing? You know that's such a good line. You're hitting the target every once in a while. It just annoys me that you think you obviously still know how to write it, So why do you take the easy way out? And remember when it was on the plane, he's he's a joke to Flannders here studios, it's Homer, you idiots, And I think, what well, I'm sad to say we got a bit of that in this episode. I mean

I wrote this down twice. Stop spelling out jokes. Yeah it happens more than once in this episode. Yeah, I'm getting that just by looking at the screen. It works for everybody. You don't have to, you know, nudge me in the ribs and go do you get it? I did like Moe's line of because you know how we don't like side J malt tout side J malt oh fitter tickets. Huh yeah, we now you get nothing. I was like, thank you, Moe speaking for all of us.

Anything else you enjoyed, or I's got the counselor the councilors avaiable day and night because I have no families. And just the ending, I thought, I thought this was one of the better endings we've had in a long time. I really really liked the ending of this of making in march. Next question, you there eating the beast? All right, it is trivia time, mister Davis. My first question for you, what are the three shades of white that my mode reads out? I see you're reading off a list,

so I will always check my notes, unlike you. Eggshell Malibar Ivory and Mediterranean ekrew as. That was also one of mad questions. Let me ask you one though. At the toga party being held at the Simpsons House, who else was there? There was not a Simpsons, Vember and Millhouse. Ralph. I watched it going How old are they? Sort of like part of the gang? Now Ralph and Milhouse is randomly there? What's going on? Anyway? It doesn't matter. My next question is where is mister

T going to be playing in the Lion King? Oh? See where? I just saw the rest of the I just saw that mister T was the line king. This is at the Capitol City Playhouse. Okay, hey, how long has Ogdenbill been been without milk? Oh? Was it seventy three? It was since nineteen seventy three? What was the radio dial that Louis had on before he turns it off? Because how do you expect you to know? This? Was it close up and he turned it off? I

looked away at that. It was eighty seven point nine. Okay, then great, while we're doing that thing, then you probably already get this. But what was the vanity plate? D ui guy? No? Different one? That was Lenny's. That Lenny's one. I wasn't going to add that, but the other one for Louis. Was it? Well, when Homer went to pick up the car that was in actually in Guidopolis, but he thought it was in Springfield and tickets it had started with I didn't it.

It was iHeart something, so I says I love something. It wasn't. Now what was it? Z v LX. I don't know what that means. Z v LX flex I heart flex, I don't know. I don't know either, but that's what it was. Since is Mailbager gmail dot com, please write in let us know we are silly. It's probably right there in front of our eyes, like what what is it?

Towboy was October seventh, two thousand and seven. Production code jab F two one, written by as we said, Stephanie Gillis, the wife of Al Jean, and directed by Matthew Nastak. I feel like he's directing a lot of episodes lately of Matthew. Yeah, I didn't we should start calling al Jeane the husband of Stemini Gillis. We should have right in this episode of course, Matt Dylan, of course, as louis the couch gag the family is. I thought it was one of the better couch gags. Very creative.

They're building them out of Lego home originally has hair, takes off the hair and puts there. I thought it was good, not too bad. Yeah, there's a Lego episode of the Simpsons, but cgi'd Lego. It's all stop motion, so Lego movie, Lego movie, Lego. I remember it being all right, Yeah, it's just something different. Yeah. So the episode kicks off with what was a kick off with this the Davis as

I get up trying to put to make in the bed. Yes, that's right, Marge trying to put make it to bed, and she just will not have it, and I resually go here straight away relatable. Every night you planned the kids, you have to as a parent. You'll learn. You gotta give them half an hour warning. I won't learn. I'm not doing this. You got to go all right, So we're putting a bed at seven thirty, ten to seven, Hey, kids, all right, just let you know you can finish watching this, finish doing that. We

gotta bush our teeth, get ready for bed. We're gonna go to bed in half an hour. Give them ten minute warning again, ten minutes later, remind him again, ten minutes later, remind we get it right, don't forget ten minutes going to bed, get to bedtime? What what do you mean in bedtime? You've been getting warnings forever, kid like, and then it's just and now they've worked it out my kids, So, Holynally,

if you ever watch this, I'm onto you. They get to bed, they get to bed, and then they go I've got a ship. That's exact words, that's actually but it's like I've got to do a poo. I'm all right, then I'm gonna do a poo too. I'm like, I asked you, if you want to go to the toilet, guess what you're gonna sleep in it? I asked them, every night before you get a bed, to go toilet. No, no, no, no no. Literally, the second we walk out of that room, we sit

it in the chair in the land room. Its nesting into our couch whatever we're going to watch them SVU or whatever we're gonna nest in will fortune, whatever it is we're gonna watch. It's very extreme example wheel of SVU. And then we hear this pit a pat on the hallway floor, like, what are you doing? I just got a pooh? I literally asked your kid, I asked your kid. That's their thing. Now, or it's I heard something at the door. I thought I heard someone knock at the

door. I'm like, no, you didn't. You're getting played. They are gaming the system because they think they they think they're falling it. That's the best part. And you think I don't have anything? Yeah, how can I quash this youthful engine in imagination? But Maggie, she won't go to bed here. She's got just in Timberwolf with her. Holly has an entire bed of stuff animals, and she gets to bed every night and goes,

I'm gonna take this one and this one and this one. Then she wakes up middle the night and goes where I'm like, it's on the pile of toys, and then your bed. Get up and get a kid. But yes, Maggie won't go down home. And the kids that are up partying. You're taking parenting dips from Mo. Grab that one kid, Yeah, Homer and the kids are partying. This is what happens. So kids go to bed, But why are you guys? Allie's new thing is why do your mummy get to stay up? Because we're grown ups. That means

we get to stay up, grown up, stay up. He's like, oh, okay, makes sense checks out. You've got to have the argument. Yes, I'm a big fan of your your half hour ten minutes. You have to warn them, Oh absolutely yeah. I mean, of course, have no kids, but my hypothetic kids. I mean, you know you read parenting advice. I'm like, I like the idea, the well you've given a half hour warning with ten minute brackets. I was always like, yeah, I got to give them the five to ten minute warnings,

like right, we're at the door in ten minutes. If you're not, yeah, yeah, you get left. Yeah. You can't just say right, you're going to bed, because then it's just fiasco. It's just World War three, whatever you want to call it. It's just chaos. It's fucking it's pirate ships and fucking blimps and it it's World War Z. But in this case, the Z doesn't say for zombies. It's yeah, yeah,

okay, it's pretty happy with that. That's pretty good nothing. So they questioning why why, or Maggie says why do you get a bit? She doesn't say, but she's she's saying that through her eyes. And the kids are up partying with Homer and Ralph and millhouse very much like animal house. Then she says, I want to bottle's another thing like the kids like, I'm first and you too. Good water, So Maggie she goes get a bottle of water, bottle of milk. Sorry, She jumps from hom

onto March. March therefore to drop the bottle and Home cries over spill builder, which I thought was quite funny. Well, yes, but this is where I said the first time. Stop spelling out jokes. It's spilt milk. Just have him cried. You don't necessarily have him have him say spilled milk. I mean, just allow us to add two and two and come

up with you. Remember there are kids watching the show too, and that's that's where you kids, You're throwing the adults of bone by letting them say he's crying over spilled milk, and you necessarily watching the kids will look around it and going, wow, the kids, how do I get to stay up late? I know what you're saying. I think you just need to tone it down a little bit with your critiquing. I mean, you're more than more than able to go for it and crucify it. I'm here,

I'm here to critique you can crucify this. But I didn't think it was too bad considering what I have not yet begun to crucify. Okay, considering the ship that we've had lately, I thought this was not But the teens have all bought their milk because apparently in this era, that's when everyone was doing the diet coke and the mentos thing with the people have been doing that

forever though, But the urban legend about pop rocks and coke. But this it became like a viral insidet at that time, wasn't it remember doing it? Every generation learns, Yeah, to be a dumber. Yeah, it's funny. Now. I found myself getting older because I realized I'm getting older because I will say, oh, that's just a sample from a song from years ago. When I hear a new song that's a original, and I look back and go a lot of the songs that I liked when I was

a kid, also samples from songs twenty it's been happening forever. It's a it's a tough thing. It's a tough beat when that happens, because part of you is like you want to tell the kids listen to the original. It's the best and it's like, no, it's cicklical, and I hated it when adults was saying me, you should be listening there really good stuff.

Well yeah, bing Crosby is good, thanks dad. I just don't like it when they cover a song and it's just the same song with just like a techno beat, because they've just covered stumbling in Oh yeah, terrible. It's just the same fucking song. It's the same song with Yeah, it's the same thing you've done. You've done nothing creative here, you've done nothing. We get. Just play the vision because the visional is a fucking banger. Just play the hits. Just play the hits, great classic hits.

I love time in great song, fine song, fine song, great song. We'll agree to disagree. I've actually interviewed Susy Quatra before Lovely Lady, have you? Yes, I had her in the studio. Pulsive am here in Geelong like a London that's easy. Quatrocab on. But he goes to Pinky Tascadera, goes to the quickie mark to get some milk, but it's all been purchased by the teenage as we said, because they're combining milk mentos and a lot of scrapings to make shitty jet packs. Yeah, it

works, but not quiet. Yeah, should you're a parent, as you've spent the last half hour reminding me, would babies just drink regular milk or do you have to get them like formula? Oh? It depends on the age of Maggie. What is Makey's age? So you wouldn't give him regular milk until their stomach can handle it. So it's either breast milk or formula until a certain age. I'm not sure what the age is, maybe like eighteen months of his Yes, Yeah, it just seems like they're using regular

ass cow milk because my margs wouldn't be britt I think. Yeah, it does feel that way, doesn't it. Yeah, because they're just gone to the quick amount to buy it. It's not formula. Yeah. Yeah. Whenever people are talking about, oh, you've got to give the baby a button, I'm like, I'm pretty sure you're not giving them. Oh make devon now in front of the pod. How old is maybe? I think she's like two. Maybe at this point I'm not too sure she might be

old enough for regular milk. Well, she's walking, but you know, she's Simpsons Walking. Yeah, I think I can buy at this age. Probably milk will be fine. Okay, yeah, all right, we'll clear that up. Yes, anyway, I'm now given this episode an extra stuff. He goes to Moe's to get some milk. He's only got paint though, Homa drinks it and because it's white, it's gonna cost him. Then

Lisa suggests go on a website to try and solve this cleaning. Baby, I like this is why because it very much felt like my mum when she goes near a phone or a computer screen with that one. Mom, not go af keep going, but the blue ones are that's the jewel bar. You've opened, work closing, don't say this, stop cooking, don't go there. Why are you buying a freezer? Don't click the corner you bought it, you click the card. If you're so smart, you do it.

Hmmm cry. What does that stand for? Creative responses for infant egg? You loving oohed you love it. They come to your home to help you raise independent, self actualized children. The counselors can come day and night because they have no families themselves. Okay, you'll sign up. You just bought another freezer. Well maybe I wanted another freezer. Could you relate in this exp what's Margaret Mary log with a phone or a computer? Well,

not with the phone. And she's she's big on the iPad because it allows her to watch various streaming services and take photographs. Is she very much? She's got a pattern of how she opens up absent. If something else pops up, it's game over kind of, I'll find out, I'll find it with my name before she passed god w rest of So she think she knew, turn on the TV, do this, do this, do this. But if like accidentally she pushed like the HDMI button whatever, it went to

a different, different source, it was done. Finish. That's pretty good with the iPad. But she has limited options on that. I mean there have been occasions where I've had to go over and say, Okay, now you've got this, I'm gonna log you down. Then i'm gonna log you back. Oh you're a genius, and yeah, I am all right. You just have all the Sky News podcasts all line up for it. And that's very got a need. I need to get her on ticket Masters so

she could go see Tucker Carlson. I can't believe that's out. The other night, Tucker Carlson and Clive Palmer in conversations like, well, you might as well just shoot me now. But I get I. Yes, it is very very relatable, even to well, even someone of your age. I mean you're probably looking at the internet pop ups. Yes, you know

what I hate the most with pop ups? It's the ones where you go into a website and they don't load for about three seconds, and you're about to click on something, and then they bumped him down because the banner pops up and then he cook the banner and you're like, you motherfucker. I didn't want this. No, I specifically requested the opposite. I trusted you Internet. I trusted I didn't my margins. I don't want to bother my

Internet with my problems. Yeah, but but fixes it quickly. And then they say here, the counselors can come day or not, because they don't have any families for themselves. I'm like, that's exactly how I felt as well. Then Homo goes for a drive looking for some milk. He eventually arrives in Greedopolis. Yeah, and look at the mookie mart. What's the lady's name Angelica, get over here doesn't mean nothing. Yes, but I got some milk field right here. But I didn't like this that we so

you were saying, break out, That explained the joke. This was very much explained the joke. Oholy, you were going to point to your crutch. You didn't need to say that. You did not know it ruined the joke. I thought by doing that, and just it was funny in itself. It's like, ah, yeah, we all thought that too, that

was the joke. He didn't have to explain that to me. But Homer then gets told because he's parked outside the bank, and then he ends up giving home a ride to the impound and yeah, so basically he realizes here that he is the boss. Louis his own boss. He can work whenever he wants. Is sometimes you want to go to work. And I like the I don't know it's sexist thing over eyeball in the highway. Honeys. I love the word. I use the word honey's all the time. I'm

like, what a honey? I do think it's a nice way. In my opinion, it's a polite way saying. It's a respectful way to objectify you know what I mean, it's just like, well, what a honey? You know, well, I think the same with saying what a hunk? Don't you reckon? Because what a hunk is objectifying a man? Oh absolutely, it is so what I always feel completely objectivey referred to as such,

exactly right. So when someone honks their horn says what a hunk, you should feel the same way a woman would feel when they say what a honey. I mean, so you're pro cat calling. I just wish I could wolf whistle. I just can't do it. Can you wolf whistle? Oh? Absolutely not, you can't do it. Now. I've always been a fairly human whistle. I've been I've been jealous my whole life of people who can do the finger one oh yeah, oh, particularly the one hand

time. Oh, man, like you are a hunk, you go to a party and you need some order, and someone and just bust that that and you're like, oh, I wish I could do that, damn it. Yeah. But anytime that happens, of course, that person is gonna get bodily fluids on the hamburger. Someone whistling at a party or a restaurant or something like that. I don't know. But when it's like you get attention, it's like right time of the cake. Everyone listened. No's just

and everyone stops. What's that? Sam? That was a pretty good while. That's just a normous That's just a whistle. Do you know how I do? You know how? I learned to whistle by practicing the intro to patients from Guns and Roses because I try to do it, and I did the whole thing. I was just practice when I was a kid, and that's how I trained myself to change the tone to my whistle. Thanks the Axle Rose, you did at least one thing right, one thing. He

went up the rail for a while. It seems you've got his life back on track. No, that's good. I think I think I know about as much about Axl Rose I do about Mandellen. I went and saw Guns and Roses last year. Last year they're touring again as the original band. Is he still were in the Dreadlocks? No, No, he's misbarides. No, he's he's got through his mid life crisis and he just seems to have He was doing charity ship like in Australia. I'm like a rose doing

charity. What is happening? Here. He always seemed like not a softie, but he seems like he had a good heart. Yes, even though he was that kind of thing. Now, if he reminded me of people that I grew up with. I grew up in Cryer in or Lane, and they're rough as bags, but you know that'd always be there for you if he needed them, but you always wanted them on your side and on the other side. I'm gonna start to using the term rough as bags.

Heard that before, never heard it roughest guts, rough as bags, I know, rough as gud. Rough as bags is the plat way of saying. It's like the honey's roughest guts. I feel like I'm getting a terrific education. Yeah, you learn a lot when you grew up in Cryer, I believe me. But he ends up getting to the to the impound and there's already a lot of people. There's a wine line, as he calls them, and Crusty's once he's blow or he's blow better still be in the

glove box. When he gets there and he's like, oh my god, you people miss ball. There's nothing can do about it. You're like God. Then he offers Homer flatbed friend's job for five hundred dollars for the truck. It's pretty cheap for a truck. Well, Loui's actually doing good bye homie. Yeah, and then he changes the mudflaps, as we've already discussed, threatens him though, saying you say, out of this territory, and you're like, okay, well that's going to come into play at some point

down the track. That's the driver. I just remember two rules. One stick to Springfield. If I catch you on my turf, I'll rip off your head, vomit down your neck, pull out your heart, show it to your head, then shove them both down your neck. Hall to which I previously alluded, there are two l's and eluded rule number two. Always keep your hook pointed out right. What happens if I pointed this way, Oh, hello, hello captain hook. Oh spoil spoils. Oh you're no

fun? And what do you think of they always have your hook pointed out gag Oh, I said, you're making it very difficult to defend these gay jokes that the Simpsons keeps doing. Yes, it felt very two thousand and seven. I just watched this going. There's clearly no diversity in the writer's

room. It's very evident when you watch these episodes of The Simpsons, there's no one in there who's either a diverse enough from the LGBTQ plus community, or there's no one in the white writer's room who feels like they can stand up and say this probably shouldn't go into the show. I would say that's the case. There's always the again Devil's advocate ding ding Ding argument of like, well, we're including everybody and making fun of everybody, and you know

this isn't really making this is sledging gay people. It's just having gay people in a joke and making a joke about that kind of thing. Well, it was very much like the in the nineties. Remember it was if you had an earring in your right ear, that meant you were gay. Left ear was okay. A lot of my friends had it in their left ears,

like you're right here because that means you gay. And I was like, okay, sure if that's There's this great Alpiacino movie called Cruising Have you ever heard of this one made in the early eighties, where there's a string of serial murders in a sub section of the gay community, guys who are into sort of s and M and heavy leather and all this kind of stuff, and they all sort of look like Albacina, who's this cop? And

so I'm going to send you deep undercover in this community. And Alpiacina is supposedly straight, although when he's exposed to this world, he's like, no, man' just don't have feelings. Sounds like a movie that's probably should get talked about a lot more of these days. It feels pretty progressive. It kind of it is in a lot of ways, and it's also very much

of its time in a lot of way. Okay, but there's a great scene where Pacino goes to this particular shop and he's saying, what's the there with all these bandannas he goes, all right, if you wear a blue bandana in your left hand pocket, it means this. If you wear in your right pocket, it means this. Yellow ones, brown ones, red ones, et cetera. And they all have different codes. I'm going to go home and think about it, but that's I would surprise me. It's

a little bit of a play on that. It's like you've got to have your hook turned out words otherwise or inwards inwards means that you're on that side. Yes, okay, always make sure it's outwards. That's all it has to do. I just know I'll be interested to hear of anyone who was gay, whether they were not necessarily offended by. But I think it's funny because you brought up that it's offensive so much as this is kind of tired.

It does feel old hat, doesn't it. Yeah, yeah, just having them again spell it out so much like, oh you're and I found all that kind of business. I mean, just have a car sort of pulling up, playing house music, playing and playing the camp be oh you voice, you know. Yeah, that's a bit kind of don't overdo it.

It's because they've just they've had a couple of episodes. They had the episode if you must do it, don't overdo it homosphobia, because I also had the heart stuff coming through, had the all albums and John Waters is very campy in himself right of course. But you also had the episode where had he came out and she got married, and they kind of ruined it there with the actually being a male pretending to be a female. It was a male, wasn't it a male pretend to be a female. But Adam's

apple, wasn't it that? It? Yeah, pretty sure it was a male pretending to be a female or something like that. I don't know, but still you've shown that, and I'm pretty sure is where Paddy goes. No, No, I'm not going to marry you because I like chicks or whatever. You've shown. You've shown the progressiveness of the writer's room that you

can be progressive, but then you go back to this stuff again. It feels like with women it's one thing, but the male dominated writers room still see that as funny in two thousand and seven, which is not a shame.

It's just sort of know, it's eye opening when you go back and revisit the episodes and go ah, at the time, probably wouldn't stood out so much, but in twenty twenty four it really stands out because I never I never saw The Simpsons as a show that was so heavy on the not anti gay jokes, but just the what would you call these lazy gay jokes? Yeah, and there's a lot of them, I want to ock. In the last three seasons, it's probably one in every two or three episodes.

Absolutely we're pointed it out. Yeah, every single and We're not doing this to be like finger wagging soules or anything like that. I've just never realized it at the time. How many they were? Yeah, and they are. They are lazy yep. But yeah, moving on, So the Homer has got his first home. He breaks off the the what do they call the bumpo and everything, the Toba axle whatever. I don't nothing about cars. I shoed to just build them. That's it. That's great news

for anyone driving a forward and for it is no longer a business. Have you driven a forward? Likely? No? This next scene was kind of I'm not too sure about this. So he takes the rich Texans car. He says he's got po pogonophobia whatever it is where he's afraid of mustaches and beards. Actual condition, let's find out. I will google that right now. Is that I feel like you can't make that up right, overwhelming fear of worry about beards. Yeah, so it's a real thing. But then

he the woman's got everything in it? Does it really does? Yeah? He goes into the Santa School to call a cab and then shoots some Santas because he's afraid of the beer years and I thought, I don't know about that. I wasn't necessarily all that concern. I wasn't concerned. I was kids watching. But Bart is now skating. I like this, So I actually, really I really liked the end of this scene because it could have

gone two ways. Right, So he's having a great time, faster, more dangerous, slams to stop sign because how he's doing the right thing stop sign, but he hits his head. He's laying there and Homer Tones looks at him and I've got I have my hand on the keyboard, read the type. If he fucking leaves Bart on the road, I'm done. And then Bart wakes up start laughing. They both laugh, and I was like, oh, okay, okay. Well played as almost like Stephanie was like,

see, this is what the guys would have done with Homer. But I made you, I fooled you. But I just like that they're both okay. So it's all good. But it feels like we're at that point Tho where it feels like, were you expecting Homy to drive off? No? I wasn't. I was okay. Yeah. Now having said this, we've just spent a little while talking about the writer's room, and saying, oh, the guys are responsible for this laimemark gay joke, but they're also

crediting Stephanie with this thing. Okay, can we have can we have it both ways? Would stephan is Stephanie gillis responsible for that, for that lazy gay joke? Maybe possibly think about it. Yeah, there you go. I'm just asking questions. I'm Alex Jones. Whilst Sephanie name is on the episode right, as Carolyn Amine always says to me when we're talking about her episode, she writes the episode and they are their Yeah, absolutely this was

this. It's a writer's room, but the person gets their name that she writes the spec Now I am well aware. I mean, just again as we are regular segment on the show, what guys saw on Twitter? But believe it's how old are you? Fuck man? X? Never going to call it X, fuck you? Whel Kingdom of the Planet of Apes is out. Everyone's tilling apes. Everyone's going ape at the moment and justify poppin apes. But they were talking about stop the plane of the Apes. I

want to get off and either two things. Yeah, the two minute thing there and I think it was Josh Weinstein or Winstein. He probably does want to have a pronounced Like Harvey's saying, here's here's a case for writer's room because we all put a lot of ideas and this this is not one person, This is not even a handful of it. There's a lot of people. He literally says, one person could not have written this. One person

could not have written this, exactly right. So yeah, the point all the ideas bouts because we're talking about how Stephanie would have had her names on the on the on the episodes of Writer. But it's a writer's room, and you feel like writer's rooms are becoming a dying art now though there's not having him in. It's like someone who writes something, they'll send it an email of this person. I'll add their little contribution. But having a you

can't you can't manufacture the energy of being in a writer's room. I've never been a part of one, but I can just imagine the ideas being thrown around. It's like yes, no, and just writing everything down and feeling the atmosphere and feeling the energy that's coming from absolutely collaboration creat stuff or just creates a good mood that's conducive to creating stuff. I mean I remember them when we were working in the call it the marketing department of of pop culture.

You know, there was the room that had you me our power role, and you know and Alex Pwell all these people, and when we sort of got on a roll when we should have been working work. That's true, but if someone told a good joke, it would invariably sort of create a bit of a snowball effect where you know, everyone would end up laughing because everyone was sort of like more atlandish in the next wasn't it not necessarily

wanting to top each other? But it's like it's very much like the Parker and Stone thing of like it's not and then it's therefore and butt like oh but also this, you know, that's it. I get that. I get the feeling. That's what a great writer's room is like, where just ideas beget great ideas, beget great ideas, be get great ideas and occasionally dad ideas. We're just like you all feel confident enough and safe enough to go. That's not it? Not what about though? Yeah not that but

this yeah, now people at home. S man here came of one of the greatest marketing campaigns that popcorch has ever seen called turn down for what? But how many times did I do something? Turned down for what? Until we got turned down for what? Many many times? But one hit it was? It worked, didn't you have the was it? The who was? The davidly hoff Is what you said had a fairly limited range. But with then that range, George Lougas, give me a call. Actually no,

Kathleen Kennedy, give me a call. Turn last word into Star Wars reference. Well, I was the one suggested that Brindon Dando called his first son Lando nearly. I nearly got Marlin over the line. I know Nicholas, like n I just can't do it. Marlon Dando? What he would have been a stud? That's it. And it became to some overweight alcoholic mess. Look my boy, what would he say though? Look at the massacre my breakfast? Did someone say gipsy? Oh boy, we were worth

it just for that right? It would it would have been in a day. Now we were up to Santa School. Santa School, Yeah, but bart skating and skating yea yeah, yes, So now the counselor is at Marge's house and I really like this. The demonstraatet care or just all these buzzwords and terms of everything right. And that's how it felt like when she came, I'll never forget. When she goes, I know he's crying, but just leave you, and I'm thinking I'm not gonna know, and she

goes, I want to go in there. She goes, no, you can't go in there, and I'm like, I know i'm paying you, but you're actually in my fucking house and I'm going to do what I want to do. And we have to find that balance of let him cry a little bit. And then but what we found was with alliot crying, is he go in there, don't cuddle him everything, just sort of like put him on the back, make him away that you're still here, and then go outside. And eventually that is assured. That's the thing. Yeah,

I just like that now you're fee to live like a human being. And then she hears Maggie, and I just thought this was just so me. She's not crying, she's celebrating your independence. And I was like, hugs of drugs. Your daughter's like, shut up, that's not how it is. But march kicker on the crutch and entering, I think you should have been more angry about that, but I liked that. Marjor's like goes in

there and it turns out it has worked. Now she says here, I'm pretty sure as I am okay on the blocks, which apparently is a reference to my mother the carjacker when Marge's mum was writing the letters in the newspaper, remember the first letter of every sentence. Yeah, So Homer is now towing Artie pye. I thought you might have appreciated it. You're in the sky now, my demand. Yes, until he throws the wrench into the propeller blaze and caused it to crash, and he draps me away home.

Is now buying a round of lobster politans at Moe's well because he's got Toto that he's looking to blow them. Yes, and then he overhears Leny saying he's been parking at the front for eighty one minutes, which is past the one hour mark, so he tows Lenny's car away. Maggie then climbs into her own chair, gets herself a banana. Marchin just notices his oh you've helped yourself. Oh okay, andeminates I like where this story is going,

very relatable. Where have you been March. When you're married to a midnight toe boy, you might not see him for days on end. I don't want to live like that. Hey, when you married a man who would, years later, with a warning, become a tow truck driver, you knew what the deal would eventually be. Well, no one's disputing there, but he's Toad Skinner's car. He's now in a chair with a stick, which a bit silly one. Yeah, Flanners here rocks up, causing Toma.

Homer's just route to him for no apparent reason. But Homer has he towed the Sunday school bus with the kids still involved, so Homer's there to pay. Flanders had to pay the bill. Now everyone's throwing darts at home. They all hate him because he's towing all their cars away. I think it is no other tow drivers in Springfield. It's asking him, don't, don't, don't do the wrong thing. That's how going to make some big leaps. Yeah, Agnes has a plan known because she's married three Tojo's in

the past. And this is where side show. Malt Is roundly is nervous, doesn't want to come close, so she says she might gum him and I was like, oh my, I was like, oh what, and he might like it. Then they paint the fake disabled park on the road and they change the billboard to say he's still in Springfield and they're gonna be playing a trick on Homer. But Mel wants to get out of the because

he's got theater tickets and Mo rips them up. You got nothing. Marge then watches Maggie with her own baby book, putting her hair in there and things like that, and she she has the sack of potatoes because she thinks they're neat. That's like, oh, okay, well that's nice. Yeah, it's a little callback. Homer then sees the trap and if my life were a teleplay, this would be the end of act two. I don't mind breaking the fourth wall. I thought that was pretty funny because they paid

off at the end. So Louis sees him hits him an end of at two, put me down your loading, Okay, I'm warning him, Wow, I'll kill you. You've done all right, buddy, that I don't well, this reminds me of you know, when he's like must kill Mode throws him into the trapdoor and he uses the JOm bon Jovi Bust, which is very much like Batman, very much like Batman. You're right, Yeah, who doesn't use John bun Jovi? No, who does he use?

Who does he use? I'm guessing it's like them. It's either something US sixties, some man bust, trapdoor, some Roman general or the mayor of Gotham City. It is uh Shakespeare, Shakespeare, Yes, that's Batman. Apparently Shakespeareeah, there is Shakespeare. I just rewatched his sixties Batman. I've got him on Blu Ray do you now? Well? Oh, speaking of little I heard you. I heard you went wild on Marketplace the other day.

So much physical media, but inside scoop for all you are physical media fans out there, Jemi High fans me Jemi High fight believe either next week or the week after, depending on when you listen to this. So we're recording from the fourteenth, so it'll be last week maybe or the second last week of May in twenty twenty four. Buy one, get one free on offical media box sets. Anything interesting? Okay? Then they had the twenty percent sales. Well I fell for it like a sucker because you didn't know

about the boy and get one free. No, you do have you opened them? One of them yes, the other one no, return it and then you get it for free next time. Wow. When you go to buy the next one, say I just want to return this. By the way, I want to buy it again, please, they can't say no, I've done it before many times I returned something and then paid less money

for it. Well, that sounds like a good plan. Yeah. I was like, I'll have my money back, thanks, and now I want it for free and they're like, oh, good scam man, we didn't see this. I love our little scams. It is good to beat the system. It is good to beat when it seems like the systems have to beat us up on the regular bit buy one, get one free. Yeah, I'm going to be buying me some box sets. Okay, you get some. Yes. I got The Ocean's Trilogy on four K. Do you

don't own it on Blu ray? I did? But the four k A upgrades and it does. I believe me. I'm a cheapskate. I went online and I said, okay, worth it to upgrade, and people who's opinion I respect and trust said they look better, they sound better. I just can't see that enough of a difference to justify buying them again. If if I own them on Blu Ray, I'll buy them on four cap.

But it've already owned, unless it's a movie like Jaws or something like that, where I just have to own every copy of it, every version of it. Well, Oceans is like that for me. I love the ocean of the movies. So the other drivers are all down in the trap door, have all been kept there. They are actually a capella group. They've been practicing. They're sitting under the ball work, which kind of goes nowhere, it really does. Homer then looks out the window and he's sort of

he's trapped there now. I did like though that they planted earlier on. Stephanie thought ahead and went, Okay, marg is going to be worried, why hasn't home he come home yet? Because he told her earlier on there may be some times why I don't come home for a couple of nights, but don't you worry about me. So at least she covered the Oh, will you just cover your tracks at least make an effort, you know what

I mean when you cover your button. Yeah, So everyone is now illegally parking, just cutting into each other, Yeah, I get where this was coming from, was like, oh, okay, it descends into anarchy.

I would have liked it was a little bit based in reality, where you know how it always is when I just need one thing, I'm only going to be five minutes, so you don't pay for parking, or you park in the so the handicaps, taxi zone or something all the taxi zone or whatever, or the loading zone, and that way sort of is that that's

the roots of anarchy. And I would have been like, if everyone was saying I just need one thing or I'm just gotta go do this, it'll be two minutes, and that sets the ball rolling, which is like, oh no, yeah, it's parking chaos in Springfield. So it's more this is out of spite, isn't it. It is, yeah, which also works, but it's a small change that would have made me feel so much happier. And of course this is what they should be thinking about. Well,

the Sensu's right, it's room at all times. I don't mind if you do this, though, just give it a payoff. Because there was no payoff to it. I think we didn't explain this behavior. There was no sort of repercussions. No, no, the only payoff was just escalation. And that's it. The last thing we see is the train going through this. Well, there was no It just felt like you didn't need to

have that at all. Really, it didn't. It didn't. It didn't need to have Springfield breaking into anarchy at all because you open up a new story thread that just was left open. Yeah, I don't understand why they brought then maybe he's a deleted scene or something. I'm not too sure. But Homer then calls Lisa. Is his one phone call. Don't call the police. Oh no, forgot, It's a ransom call, isn't it. Yeah? Yeah, yeah, don't call the police or I will kill me

goodbye forever. And I thought, okay, Springfield and break breaking, the cast of the ship, the Blimp of the Trainers we discussed earlier than homes telling stories of Transformers and Shrek three. Taking the mickey out of Shrek three. Sometimes he speaks Medieval times, sometimes he speaks today times. Reminds me of your favorite quote from Cable Guy with the PEPSI. That's right, there was no cutlor in medieval times, so there's no cutlery out medieval times.

Yes, but and millhouse and no cutting ways out of the the Bible. Sorry to see which words I can say. I didn't really get this. He just calls them a dumb ass whore. Is it just their way of swearing having swearing on because it doesn't go anywhere that No, one doesn't doesn't. No, it's just there. For one scene, Marge is worried at home. It's been a couple of days since he's been there. Maggie over here, so she goes to rescue Homer. She takes Sanders little helper,

how she found him, how she knew he was in Guidopolis. I'm not too sure about that. Actually, yeah, I think we needed a bit if you're going to be steering into this not necessarily fantasy. She holds something in front of the dog's face to say, I was wondering about if is there a scent? Bit? Maybe I missed that. I'm not too sure when I was writing my notes, because that would at least offer some sort of explanation. I did not see it either, but I was also looking

away from the screen. Yes, let's assume they did. Let's let's give these guys a benefit of the debt. I was liking the Et Moon parody as they walked with you would yeah, big et fan. Of course they arrive at Guidopolis, how she sees Thomas's face on the moon and mean another gay line here, that's yeah. Basically Homer says, I'm in charge, so I'll be able to decide how far we can go with each other without being gay. There's love making them taking them me yet of gay gays.

But Maggie attaches the truck to the bars, smash is it out? And then that's how they get free and that's the end of Louis. That's the end of the Matt Damon plot subplot, but it's Maddylant Damon. Yeah, I'll tell you interview Matt Didylan once he did I did call me bro, bro. What was the reference? Is that? How you doing, bro? Or what was it? I think we must have had a bad connection or I sort of said something with a weird inflection goes, oh you we

restrained? Yeah, goes sound american bro come to you. But hearing Matt Dylan call me bro one of those moments. It's always nice when you feel like you're their friend, or when they when they're clever enough to make you feel that way. Yes, they are actors. Yes, Maggie, you did all this, and you pay you back. I'm returning your notes. You know, would you beg you know? Oh wait, least knows. But I really, as you mentioned earlier, really liked the way ended.

So Homer returns Maggie's nose as a payment for saving him. Very sweet, a very sweet gesture. Yeap, Yes, I liked theole. So that's Lisa's nose. I thought, well done. So Marge then says that she's moved on. Maggie. Don't worry, I've moved on with the potatoes now. Maggie says, I'm not having any of that. She punches the potato bag. She just wants a hug. Are you sure? Because hugs a drug puts a dummy in her mouth, and that's it. That's it.

I've got here. A beautiful ending, I think. For me, the way it ended really made me feel like the episode overall was really good. When you break things down, every episode of Simpson is gonna have it's weird, what the fuck moments. This one had a lot less than what we've had previously this season, so there's definitely the best one of the season so far. Well, Daddy Dando thinks this, Yeah, look it was I I think it was perfectly It was perfectly fine. You like this better than

the Homer of Seville. You start that episode by going, do we have to talk about this one? And on before that we had fucking the one with Stephen Colbert as the It is the best episode so far, yeah, by a long margin in my opinion. But I really really liked this episode of Midnight Toe Boy. The b plot for me, as I said, was a lot more enjoyable related just because you said in the first one, I think that the had more laughs. But I enjoyed overall the margin and

Maggie plot. And it's a story that I'm surprised I haven't already done so far, because it's just it's one of the classic parts of parenting is seeing your kids grow up. And it's an episode the Reason of Carolyn and Meine where I interviewed it for it. I can't remember what it was called, but it excased me. I apologies Carolyn, but it's the one where March has come to terms with the fact that Bart isn't her little boy anymore. Oh yes, And it has an incredible ending, very similar to this,

and it just feels like the March Stories. Now it's weird. Never used to really like the March episodes. The March Stories seem to have the best endings in my opinion of the when Bart is the shoplifter this episode here, as well as the urban moaning Lisa, which she says to Lisa, if you want to be sad, be sad, I'll be here for you. March. Good character, just not written well all the time. You're a big softy down Yeah, I have a big softie probab. We love you

for it. What do we learn, Bom? What'd you learn from the episode with Davis? Okay, what I didn't learn? How far you can go without being game? Would you like to know more? He's confused, Like, I don't have to say you say that the meme of Johnny Rico

has got desire to know more intensifies. It's great. I learned that you should always have your hawk pointing outwards or inwards, whatever flows you boat, whatever gets you through the night, as Lendon would say, Indeed, indeed we both went for the for the low hanging fruit, so to speak. Oh sorry, that's a worthy of the Simpsons Writing Room from forward, your names will be all right. It's time for the Guy Davis New Name Championship

that currently the board stands at this mister Davis in first position. We have Adam Wolhouse, phil Hawkins Philip Jay Hawkins because he's in first position, as well as Kyle Muldoon clever, Kyle Heath Apple be in second position now on three points. Heath that would be on two points, and Matt Collins on one point. Hit me? Do we only refer to Philip Jay Hawkins with the jay when he lugging well I said that in the last episode. Yeah, position, Then we show him his proper respect, so he gets the

one two three this week, mister Davis. Okay. One point goes to small Time Hooks. Oh, that goes through her first time ever on the leaderboard. I think it's Rage Beasley Beasley, well done, McKim no relation. Probably Rach Beasley, well done. One point, Rage, very nice to have you, congratulations on joining the leaderboard and joining the New Name Challenge. Two points goes to hook Wine and Stinker Wine with a w H. I'm assuming that is correct. You stinker wine? Should they stinker or sinkerk

stinker. Yeah, yeah, you was thinking pretty sure we you said it off the air. Yeah, every time we here see the word stinker, your stinker? What was that? What was the production company for that? That's David E. Kelly isn't the maker of Ally McBeal and Boston Legals? And that one is okay? So that would be Clever Kyle. Clever Carle is now in first position. That can it in from three points to five points? Well, Clever Kyle very well now, but three points goes to

toe life. That is another new b Jared Hornby. There we go. We've got two new people on the lid of what I like this. We got a competition, yes, all about it. Yeah, So Jared Hornby with the three points there, which means we have Clever Kyle on five points in the first position we have Adam Moorehouse, Jared Hornby and Phil Hawkins and second position Phil all right, a serious moment, Yeah, on four finger discount. We're talking about the new name channels we pointed out last week or

even the week before that. Yeah, some of you are very eager. You go right for it, and we appreciate that, but we must stipulate two entries per person. You know more than that, but some people are putting in like ten entries and it was just getting way out of hands. So you've got two entries, and always look to see what other people have written as well, because if they've written it and you write it writ after

them, then it's completely just it's null and void. So you have to have two original ones to get in to make sure yours don't get copied. Yes, and if you do submit more than two, we're only going to pick the first two that you do. Yes, And unfortunately, what's happened this week is I'm going to name it Fergus Chef's right, Gus guy, like your fifth one that you put in there. But we have to follow the rules and make it fair for everybody. You're number five, which was

what Reap, What your Toe? What your Toe, would have got the three points this week, but unfortunately you had four other names before it, which means we couldn't use it. Yeah, Fergus, we don't make the rules, except we really make the rules. We really do make the rules. Yeah, and in this case we got all a buye bye. Sorry man, it's really good. Don't get me wrong. You're capable of good stuff, So keep so many the names, but only two maketual lugan one,

two, three, four five. Yes, so it was the fifth one that you put in there. Fergus apologies, you would have gotten the leader board this week three points. But everybody pay attention to the rules two per person to keep it fair and make sure you don't copy. Look look what everyone else is written first, so you don't copy as well, because we don't want your name to be the same as someone that wins. And you go, well, what didn't mine get it because he came second.

So look what's been on there, and only put two in that way, it's all fair for everybody. Now focus. We are sorry for naming names and making an example out of you, but for example, it was a great name and it's a shame we couldn't get a point. But that's why it didn't get a point. Yeah, but at the same time, you're also getting your name said out a lot on the podcast, which is something the people pay top dollar for, and you reput your toe. That's why

he's the king, all right. I don't forget guys. You want to be part of the Guy Davis new name championship. We just got to be a supporter of ours on Patreons. So for the little one single dollar we do a month, that's all. It is, one dollar a month. Think of all the money you waste on coffees and pop vinyls and ship that you don't need to be in the house to buy one get one free salor JB exactly. Would I be happy with a dollar? No, going down

to be much happy with that one dollar. So put that one dollar in our pocket by being supported ours on Patreon and help the show flourish and grow. That's a hell of the sales pitch. All right. Time for the mail bags A Davis mail bag. First question here from Keith Nedham. I just want to be the first to say that I'm not do JP. There you go. That's not a question, Keith, but there you go. Andrew JP says, aside from the wonderful John bon Jovi, who's your favorite

Italian American celebrity goalie? Isino Italian American? I believe he is? Yeah, Baina is a good one. You have to be out there, wouldn't he Sinatra? Okay? Is Matt Dylan or do you just playing Italian? If he is he's doing it really well. Let's have a look an American actor. Let's see where he was born? Though, where do you reckon he was born? Joys? Probably not? It feels like a New York.

He was raised in New York. Yes, okay by Mary Allen and Paul Dylon, a portrait painter and sales manager for toy bear manufacturer Union Camp. So we go. He's not Italian? Okay, let's go with the the the obvious choices like Bacino and Sinatra and Rachel McLean. Have you ever had your car toad for doing something wrong? Have you had your cart toad at all? I have? Really? Yes? What did you do wrong? Well? I parked in a disabled zone in front of a fire hydrant

and parking No, I was working a place in Melbourne. Uh, and you chase after it? I honestly thought that my car had been stolen? Really? Yeah, I would think that as well. Yeah, I parked in a Yeah what do you call it? A clearing zone or a loading zone? But do they leave a thing behind us? Say you've been robbed

by night burglar? So how do you know? How do you? I think you just have to twig and realize oh, I parked in the place where they say they'll tell your car if you are there at a certain time. Okay, yeah, so I was in I think Hawthorne. I came out, there's my car? Where the funk is it? I literally said, dude, where's my cat? And this, and then stole the hell and then I'd be freaking out. Yeah, look up the signs. I think they might have told it. So then you start doing your online research.

It's like, okay, who would I call the vine if my car's actually been toed? Here's my license, Oh, here's my my my Regione number. Whatever. Yeah, we've taken your car. It's gonna cost you three hundred bucks or whatever. You you stinker, your stinker. And then on top of that, there's you know, the fine, but there's also, yeah, the money to Luckily, I had a really good i'dn't been

Yeah, and I said, oh, I come and sit down, we'll make your coffee, and okay, look a lord at you and uber all this kind of stuff, and you know, you can go get it. Are really nice about it. But honestly, yeah, my car was toired. That was the first and only time. It's never happening again. I'm keeping on the signs because holy shit, that was really stressful. Oh yeah, walking in in your car dost not being some ofs. You walk out and you can't

re where you parked. That's stress full enough. Oh yeah, and I've had I've had that too. I did it last week. I was thinking I parked my car here like I would have backed my house on it, that my car was part here, but it was the next level left. I'm thinking, Am I Am I so out of touch? No, it's the chicken. It's the parking lot that is. It is the children who are wrong. It's the children. Wholluck drive me crazy. I can't come my short term memory, mate, Shot. I can't tell you what I
