The Seemingly Never-Ending Story (S17E13)

And that's why I didn't have time to study from my geography test. Mart, do you expect me to believe that that story is the biggest load of crabapple making out with mol But I thought you didn't want a data tabynonna at this point, all I wants a man with a healthy lorbido. Uh huh, Well this is where it gets awkward again. Yeah, Ma, can't

catch your break one two, three four Can't catch a break? One two, three four Can't catch a break one two, three four four Finger Discount, Dude, Welcome to four Finger Discount, the podcast where we what do we do? Mister Davis? We have an obsessive compulsitor disword on three four. This week we hit the review episode h b F zero six. It is the seeming never ending story. I am Dando joined right now by of course, I am guy fresh from the pay chalet. Yes, as befits

the sort of all over the shop nature of this episode. That intro was indeed all over the place, because we're just winging this one man. So I had good memories of this episode. I remember really enjoying it. I don't watched it several years ago, and I didn't mind it it's a fun story. It just throws all logic out the window. So you can get past the logic being thrown out the window. It's enjoyable. But I'm watching when you're critique in this episode, I'm like, there are a lot of

questions being asked of me right now to ignore. Well, yeah, I mean, I don't know. I personally think with season seventeen so far, maybe with season sixteen as well, it's time to just throw continuity and all that stuff out of the window. You know, I mean, stuff happens in Springfield, it happens to the Simpsons family, happens with the people of Springfield, and you really just got to roll with it. I think there

are certain fundamentals that will stay in place. But otherwise it's a good episode. This in terms of it's about, you know, memory and subjective memory. I mean, you're going to remember something different the way someone else remembered it, So yeah, it kind of makes sense in that regard. But you're right, it is a little higgalipigedly, but thought I had a lot of fun with it coming. Yeah. I'm a sucker for stories within stories

within stories. You know, it's like, um, and this one did it kind of well as far as I'm concerned, we live in the age of origin stories, right Andy, the ones they gave us here. Whilst

illogical, we're a lot of fun. I loved and also depressing. I love seeing young Edna arriving, missus k you know, bright eye, bushy tailed, ready to take on the world, and then just and the same with Snake and Springfield, just wearing them down and just turning them into the into just broken people where Snake now becomes a criminal and missus kay is just you know broken notes she she has to Springfield, she hates the bars and

the taverns and like kind of thing because of her ex husband. That's now where she lives, you know what I mean. So I was depressing in that aspect, but I did like the seeing a young missus Kaye just full of life and ready to go. But it just made me sad at the same time. Now, I want to talk about Indica for a moment, particularly in relation to this episode. The voice seems different. Maybe she's just

trying to act younger. I guess, yeah, I mean it was Marshall Wallace, but I guess you're just trying to put a younger spin on it. But the thing is, though, can you tell your point and I'll get onto my point what you're going to say about missus Ka the voice. I mean, it didn't even seem younger. It just seemed like someone's doing a not bad Marshal Wallace impersonation. I'm sure, mothers. Let's check. Yes, it says he Maurice Maurice LaMarche. He's the voice. I didn't

realize he was on this instance. Yeah, he voices commanded mc bragg when they're doing the Scavenger hunt and they're starting the Scamenger Hunt. But yeah, it doesn't say Marshall Wallace. Then she usually is listed there, but I'm assuming it would have been Marshall Wallace. But maybe it wasn't. I'm not too sure, listeners, let me know what you think, because yeah, I was like, it sounds like someone doing a good impersonation of eddicate or

doing their best indicate. Now, yes, said middlely. It is a different sort of uh time period, and she's meant to be sort of younger and more innocent, but she didn't feel younger and more isn't it just felt like different despite appearances the country. I'm not complaining, but it was. It was just something that I noticed so um anyway, but I'm sort of leaping into favorite bits because the whole um, the whole Mo and Edna romance such as summer romance, Yeah, summer love it. It happened so fast.

I just was really sweet and but also very I mean, maybe not true to Edna so much as the way we know her now, but they actually felt like kindred spirits and Mo felt like, you know, he wasn't trying to be even though he was lying. Whole the whole thing was based on lies, though it was, but it felt like it felt like genuine Mo, even though he was lying because she wasn't loving a real person though

no true, it felt like the best version of more. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, It's like this is this is what he could have been or even to a better person. But the second he doesn't get his own way, I was like Kendle in succession, you, I think you've watched the show, But the second that guy doesn't get his own way, it's becomes a perpetiant little baby. That's exactly what happens to the mode here. I've

got um, yeah, I've got to catch up with a succession. I think I've watched maybe like half of the first season, Okay, And it's not like I didn't like it or anything like that. It's just like, all this is one of those things that I'll leave you feeling empty. The finale ad this week, and Nicola and I just little at each other afterwards and went, oh, that just happened. From what I understand, it is pretty sort of bleak. Yeah, I won't spoil anything obviously. No,

Yeah, they're kind of spoiled from myself already. I mean, I didn't It didn't strike me as the kind of show that was like, and here's a twist at the end. It was more that's the thing the entire time, We're going, what's a twist going to be? Because we're so used to shows having twists. Now, Yeah, there never really was a twist, And if there was a twist, you could see it coming two

episodes in advance. He saw it was a twist in there. Well, but the way the show was plant was mac down you could see it coming, you know. All Right, Well that's best ssion. That's enough about

That's enough about that show. Let's keep talking about this show. Although we might do a succession pod If Everyone Wants to LEAs One actually won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding achieve It in the Field of Excellence, as well as the Outstanding Program oh My God Outstanding Animated Program for Programming less than one Hour At the thirty fourth and the Awards. Episode and episode writer Ian Maxtone Graham

won the award for Best Writing in an Animated Television Production. So people will big fans of this episode where it originally aired. As you were saying, it's a lot of fun throws, lots you get the window, but sometimes you just gotta do that when you want to have some fun, switch your brain off and just you know, some of the best action movies that I love ones were just gonna switch your brain off and just enjoy what you're watching.

But I did want to bring up you shared a video this week on social media that is very relatable to when I say modern Simpsons, I mean season seventeen Simpsons and beyond right, And it was Tray and Matt from South Park talking about therefore and but yes right instead of and then. So how often do we review these episodes and it feels like, as you always say,

a bunch of stuff and stuff that happened. This is happening, and then this is happening, and then this is happening, and then the ending ends, and there isn't really an ending, right, Yeah, but our boys try and Matt in this video and it only goes for three minutes. I'm assuming you know. They gave a longer lecture to the film students at New York University. It blows your mind, but honestly, they just distill

it down to just three minutes. And Trey himself says, look, it took me ages to learn this, but once you get it, it's like, oh, okay, yeah, this makes sense, and this is how you tell stories. And the upshot of it is if you have an incident, then you have to ask the question or the next step is, Okay, this happened, therefore this happens, or this happens, but that happened,

and it's like that's how you tell a story. That's how it moves forward, as opposed to oh, this happened, and then this happened, and then this happens. No, this happen, therefore this happens. All this happens, but that happened because I sent to Nicola that the perfect example

is like season seventeen seems it happens earlier as well. But it's like, you know, you get to the end of the first act, how often it has happened this in particular, in particular this season, Right, we get to the end of the first act and it's like, oh, so

this is the story for the episode. The first five six minutes, we're inconsequential to the actual stories, Like you could have cut that all out, like to say, for example, when you know when Bart gets center, when we're on the road to Doughware and Bart's getting sent away to the camp, right, you know that they didn't like Bart doing something naughtiest. So for the entire first act it was like Bart being naughtiost like, do we have to have all this again? Like this this happens, and then this

happens, and then this happens. And as you're saying, Trey and Matt, this happens. But the studd that happened in the second act can't happen unless the stuff that happened in the first act happened. Has it all flows us to flow on effect, and I just it blew my moment. I watched as I was like, no, wonder, South Park is so fucking

good. Indeed, having said that, you know, something else we talk about when we talk about recent episode the Simpsons is that sometimes they can feel like this idea isn't good enough for a whole episode, but neither this one. So let's jam them together and maybe they'll, you know, they'll make it up an entire episode. And often it was like, this is like

Frankenstein's Monster, It's Ugly's gonna kill me. It's three different stories that you feel I could have been an episode, but that has crammed him into this. Yeah, yeah, here the Scavenger Hunt episode, I don't know. I don't think it'd be a whole episode. Maybe it could have the summer romance between Mo and Edna, I don't know. But distilling them I love

good Scavenger Hunt, it's pretty good. But distilling them down to just their their essence, the best parts of them, and then having them as chapters or installments or bits and pieces of a bigger episode. I think it works really well in this case because they realize, yeah, we can't stretch it out, so let's shrink it down, concentrate it, you know, make a nice red One's juice to put on. Yes, yes, this is this episode is a lot of fun, illogical but fun. Much like four

Figured Discat, much like My life. Yes, hey, my favorite. What were your favorite moments from the episode, mister Davis, Well, really it was primarily the romance between between Mo and and I just I don't know, I like, like, I liked the whole feel of it, just that visually, I thought it was fantastic. Um, you've written down here, nice ascot on. You know, the way he's dressed up. Ye,

But she's bringing out the best in him. Yeah, and he's not the real him, but she's she's if you are, like, if she hadn't gone into that school, Mo would have become a better person. Yeah, And it feels like a nice sliding doors moment for Form who was a character I do like. So I think that was probably my favorite part of the entire episode. I mean, also just the way Moho expressed himself when he's talking about no same gen the rack of an angel. I knew you're

gonna like that line. I'm like, I will like this. I've got that I will love that. But the thing is, though it sounds mislogynistic, but like, that's the nicest. That's the nicest thing I can say, Like, that's that's that's Mora being the best version of Moe. You know, it's as nice as he can be. I love the fact I didn't know I didn't know where it came from. I've used it numerous times. The Moe throwing Barney out of the bar meme came from this episode.

Yeah. I was like, oh man, that's been used so many times. It's like the perfect visual for a meme when you want to say you're trying to get rid of something and it keeps coming back. It's perfect, and it was in this episode. But I also got a big kick out of the mirror bate and switch where he shot Burns in their head because when he first shot him, I was about to that typing gif fuck as if

this oh you got me, you got me. I thought it was going to be one of those usual you know, Burns is can survive anything, you know, when when he slaps him in the back of the hand, goes through the chest and shit like that, which which really annoys me. But he shot him in the head. I was like, Okay, he shot him in the head. There's no way he's surviving. Oh it's just a mirror. Well playing, well player, you got me? We'll played

Simpsons. Yes, all right, mister Davis, it's time for something trivia. What's your first question for the seemingly never ending story? Start with your sexiest one? Oh gosh, okay, in the graveyard? Can you name the sexy? Three? What's that that's sexy? That's sexy? Can you name three? Or Burns as relatives? I didn't write those down? What are they? Can you tell me? I'll give you all five? There is that I saw anyway. Agatha Cotton, Rutherford Stewart, and Mildred all

have tombstones in the in the graveyard and they're all Burns. Is they are all Burns? As ye? I wasn't sure they're going to go for a gag or like him being related to Hitler or something like that. My first question is actually related to to tombstones. Whose tombston did mister Burns have in the back of his car as part of the scavenger hunt. He was driving with Smithers and there was a tombstone in the back. Oh man, it's

a character that they love having callbacks too. And every time it always works because everyone just has this love for the character. One time only character one time was moving. No, no, no, it's Frank Grunt, Frank Grimes Grimmy, that's right. Yeah. I don't know why how I made that connections like it was bleeding us with it. No, no, it was the complete opposite of skinny little light Man. What year was Carl's cave discovered by Carl's dad? Oh, I had I was gonna write that only

fifty six. I think it wasn't nineteen fifty six. Speaking of can remember we did that episode where it was Carl's from Iceland? I'm so was he from Iceland? I don't know. That just really did a number on you, didn't it You would just spend I was not happy. I was so sad that day. My next question is either the power plant is on this or is where mister Burns lives? What is the address? Lisa says, I'm off to well, no, mister Burns says, I'm off to this

way. When he realizes that he's got the photo, it's one hundred industrial way. It was indeed, Yet, Okay, we need more because I've got one more for I hit me one more and I hit you of one more as well. Ye okay, where was mister Burns born? Where Pangaea Pangaea? Mhmm. I was interested to know what his email might be. What do you make mister Burns's email would be? I feel like it's something that Smithers would have made it for him. Mister Burns wouldn't have made it.

So would you just get the simple light you know, see Montgomery at hotmail dot com Or do you think he would have made it something because mister Burns wouldn't check his emails ever, would he? Missus Smith would be doing turned me on Burns brilliant boss or something like that, you know, yeah? Um, And my final question will be what have we got? I actually had the nine fifty six is one of my questions and even realized, so I'm gonna make one up on the spot here mob was head into the

supply store to get what um urinal cake mix? Yeah, that was another line. I really liked a lot of mosingers in this episode. Yeah, this is a good performance from one from Hank for sure. The fourth Figure

The ovisional air date of the Seemingly Never Ending Story was March twelve to two thousand and six numbers. So, David, I'm

not doing the Blockbuster Brainbuster anymore. It just takes up too much of our time. But I will tell you it hurt my brain. Well, I will tell you what the top three films at the box office were when this episode originally aired for that week they were Failure to Launch was number one, The Shaggy Dog was number two, and The Hills Have Eyes was number three, Hills Have Eyes. That was a movie that I haven't watched since I watched the first time, but I remember it's scaring the shit out of me.

It's really nasty. Yeah, we've talked about the first two. We talked about, Yeah, Yeah, Failure to Launch with McConaughey and Sarah Jessica Parker and The Shaggy Dog with Tim Allen, and yeah, but the Hills

Have Eyes. That's a remake of a seventies movie by the late great Wes Craven who made the Screen Movies, in which a family is traveling through the deserts on their way to California. Except what's living in the desert but a bunch of a freaky family made into hostile mutants by radioactivity and all that kind of business, and they're out to kill and dare I say eat this all American family that then has to fight back. It's this This remake is really

actually really good. Often with horror, not necessarily slasher horror, but like other versions of horror, but this kind of thing, the remakes are usually pretty good because that the special effects are usually better. Absolutely, Yeah, I mean, got a really good cast and a fantastic director named then when want to do another remake um Pirana three D, which is one of my

favorite horror movies of the twenty teens. It's so gross. Yeah, it's so much fun, speaking of the logical but fun three D. Oh, so much fun. But yeah, he'll have eyes. Um. Look, if you've got a strong stomach and a strong constitution. Yeah, but when just check it out if you dig horror movies, know a similar kind of movie that I loved when it first came out. I haven't watched it for so long, I have to revisit it. Wrong Turn. Remember Wrong Turn?

I remember being so so called off Garba. How much I enjoyed that movie Wrong Turn? Yeah. Yeah, and they made like five or six of them. Yeah, but the first one is the one that matters. That's the one I remember. I remember the chick with the red hair getting the barbed wire like through the mouth at the start, on the side of the road. I remember that that death. But like you, I love the good. Just like Mutant, he'll be really kind of like just coming

and killed things. I just love that kind of story. Yeah, it's it's always fun. And I loved Wrong Turn. I thought it was awesome. Yeah, I know slight of the sequels a little bit, but honestly wrong Turn two Cold Dead End is that by the way, it's it's really good. It's got a lot, it's got some great kills. Um yeah, and you know, interesting characters now it works really well. The rest

of them are kind of kind of junk. That's the thing. You sort of watch those movies just for the creative ways to kill people, and that's what's sort of like John Wick's become, hasn't it. How's he going to kill these people? I remember there's the one with the pen the pencil and like John Wick three, and I was like, this movie has just become fucking John Wick kill port. I watched Wick four any good the other night. It really loves a lot of it. It goes for nearly three hours

and not a lot happens in it. You know. It's but at the same time, yeah, look I didn't I didn't dislike it. I was talking about it with my good friend Anthony, who's a real you know actution movie efficionado were sort of saying, yeah, look it's great. I mean, it's beautifully made, and you know, the locations are fantastic. Ken

Is really good. It's gotta all star cast of action heroes. But you know, when you look at it's like there's maybe six scenes or six things that happened in this movie, and that for a movie that goes three hours, kind of like Kevin Goes capping the watch. Yeah, I'm terrible at keeping promises. And you know, I really shouldn't say, hey, I'll do movie gays on this because I maybe never will, but maybe I should. So are you're going to see me? Do it? Pad Spider Verse

two whatever it's called. What's what's the actual tier called? It's across the Spider Verse. Yeah, I'm let's wrap this up because I got a good malm when he go see it. Yes, yes, we want a movie, guys, A little while, guy, a little review on that one. For sure, make that happen. Let's have all the things you gotta do. That's the one you're gonna make happen. And by the way, sub number four just quickly was sixteen blocks your man, Bruce Willis, wasn't

it. Oh yeah, the movie as well. I remember enjoying that as well. That's a solid one. That's like the unofficial die Hard sequal before the crap I had set so that was number four when this at the box office when this episode originally aired. But the episode was written by E. M. Stone Graham. As we said earlier, he won the Emmy, and it was directed by Raymond s Percy and Maurice LaMarsh as Commander mcbragg. There wasn't no chalk graun at the catch gag. What's that you're laughing about?

Something? That's what are you laughing about? About? The lovely Day? My name was Raymond Percy, like something Homer would say when he wants to get mister Burns Martin Prince. Isn't your name Raymond Percy Percy? Make sure he's still with us, so we're not hanging shit on a dead person. Also, there'll be a picture of him. He's going to be built like John Center or so he's um. So he's written some awesome episodes of the Simpsons, so he wrote um. He wrote twenty four Minutes, which

is an episode that I absolutely love. It's the twenty four parody, so um was it directed? And he was a director of an episode. He's also a director of Mobile Hume, which didn't really enjoy. But the girl was slept too little when at least sleeps in the Semishode was a good one as well, plus some others coming up in the in the new future. But yes, so having a shit on Raymond to you, everybody loves when these directorial skills just just his poncy name, standing up for yourself, point

dexter. All right, And there was no chalk gag, but the couch gag was it's got here the couch with Marge, Maggie, Barton, Lisa on It is delivered to the living room via conveyor belt and stops in front of the TV. Homer is added on by a mechanical arm and the couch continues onward. All right. So the episode kicks off with the family entering Carl's dad's caverns, but realize that they're on a nature walk. And I did not like this at all, where Lisa gives him a nickel in the

bottle to keep me entertained. I'm like, bart is not this stupid. I don't like this just felt silly to me. I was not a fan of that. But they find the finger of Testini. I think that's what they call it, the guide of pointing down. There was a few question a few questionable lines in this episode, such as silly Indians, well product of this thing where it's like, no, no, you're not meant to be thinking we're making fun of Indians. We're making fun of Homer for making

fun of Indians because he's a bigot. It's like, I don't know, girl, it sounds like you want to have it both ways. He fell asleep on the job. He says that his guy made their god. Then Homer takes a little tiny chip to put in his desk at work and he creates his giant syncol They all fall down and he has to be saved by how do he has it? I think he says tasting the genius? He says something different, doesn't he I'm going to disrespect our American friends here because

I've noticed they do this a bit um. Certain letters at the start of things are often silent. I mean the tea at the start of Sister Nagenie is not meant to be pronounced much like And this happened when the X Men movies came out. Everyone's saying, hey, it's Professor Charles Xavier. No, that's just Xavier Xavier Xavier. Yeah exavior, Yeah it was, but was it xavier. Is that how it was supposed to be pronounced like in

that world? I don't think so. I think everyone I think they looked at and go, well, if we pronounce it zev, people are going to see words in X men. Wor isn't it z men because it's spelled X pronounced z I the conversation they had in the boardroom, I wouldn't be surprised if it's zev yet, then why isn't it it's man? Yeah,

we're going to get letters. The X very important in x men, so make sure you make sure you are you say the X. Yeah, indeed, But I look, I would pronounce this cisterna genie but but maybe yeah. But in the episode, they are pronouncing it. So Homer gets stuck. Though he says he needs to pee now, he's just now, he's just stuck so obviously his pants. Margin says, I'm gonna go get We'll get the fireman that got you off the ride that time or whatever, And

I'm like, how exactly you're stuck in this hole? Yeah, there's there shouldn't be any other entrances to this place, which is which is what raises questions at the end I was like, how did everyone just like like or sort of just arrive out of nowhere? Were they in there as well? These guys fell down a hole that was not there beforehand into this like cavern down the bottom. Then all of a sudden, Burns arrives and the ticks and arrives and snake comes down with his sun from the roof. I'm like,

where the fuck did they come from? This is why I don't go caving or exploring or splunking. The idea of caving terrifies me. Like you see some videos with people in these little tiny cracks and they're trying to get through it, and I'm like, no way. You could not pay me a million dollars to do that. No way, I wouldn't do it, no way, no day, forget about it. No, I'm just thinking about it makes me sick. I just I'm very bad with tight spaces. But I just don't think I could do it at all. I just not

a chance at all. Yeah, but they point out that this place is not on the map, so they go looking for a way out. I'm like, good luck, okay, fun with that one. Good luck with that. Listener says she's going to tell a story to keep home or occupied, but no unicorns at Homer says. So, she mentions how she was walking home from school last week through the forest, randomly through the forest the

way home from school, and a ram starts charging her. I was walking home from school when suddenly I hurt, Oh, hello, mister big horn sheep. I've read about you. You're shy and you're rarely approach humans. And of course he'd never attack a fellow beast, liberal mit it. Yeah, So when the ram burst through the window, so lets her in to get us to safety. Right when the ram burst through the window, you can actually see the necklace on the rams horn, right, And every time

you see the ram going forward you don't see the necklace. I'm thinking, if you're going to go through that much trouble to put the necklace there for that shot but then not include it going forward, might as well not have at all, because it doesn't make sense that it was there. Then it wasn't there because there's nowhere else for it to hide. On the ram's horn,

it's either there, it's not the enemy hanging there. So when it burst through the window initially into mister Burns's house, you see it hanging there, but then when it's chasing after him down the hallway, it's not there anymore. I get where you're coming from, and you make a great deal of sense, but also I don't really care. So the he destroys the extraal table as its chased him, they get to the panic room and the passwords Pangaea and the password has been emailed at him. How often do you

forget your your passwords? Should I cop to this in public? Because for a lot of my accounts, I only have one. I knew. I just felt like that would be the answer for you. You have the same password for everything, and it's Guy Davis sexy man, or it's just like Guy Davis sixty nine to be telling everybody, yeah, no, no, but the Balkan the one thing, or it was like, hey, you

need to have this and this like okay, I'll add this variation. Yeah, but occasionally, like if it's something that I don't use or I know I'm only going to use online and it's like or on a specific computer, and then'll be like, okay, finally I'll accept the suggested strong password. That's just you know, this incredible long remember letters and symbols that you never never, never remember. Most of the time, I'm pretty good with passwords,

and then it'll be like, no, it's not that. And then but it will say, hey, this password requires this, and it's like, oh, okay, it's the other one. It's planned b. So it's just like the do you have many different passwords for different a lot of different passwords, but I have a little book that has them all in it, so write them all down. I'll forget. But I just think it.

Imagine being like a just mean, like a hacker, right and finally realizing you've cracked the password of like some famous celebrity for their Twitter account. The thrill of that moment must be so awesome, know you Now you're now

controlling the Ashton Koch's Twitter. Isn't that the isn't that the creeper like you know, busted into the cloud and got all Jennifer Lawrence's nude though I don't know, well, people have the systems all the time, and I'm not just saying the nu people that release nude picks are like terrible and like I made the choice never look those up because it's like they were taken in If

you go on Playboy or something. That's different. But if you if your nudes have been leaked, that is the biggest breach of privacy because the thing is, for example, you're gonn take into account the way I see. I'm just like because my friend was like, oh, Jennifer Lawrence nuds out, and I'm like, I just say I was famous and someone found nudes

of Nicola and put them on the internet, like it would be. I just couldn't imagine the embarrassment for Nicola, and like, I would hate to think that everyone's out there like looking at Nicola was no clothes on, right, So I make the deliberate choice to not do the same. But if they pose naked, that's different, right, That's true. Just go watch Red Sparrow. What's what's Red Sparrow? It's a movie. The Jennifer Lawrences

are appeasmember. She was like the last big one where remember there was like heaps of nude leaks at the time, would like someone broke in and like leaked everyone's nudes at that time, didn't there She was like the she was like a list that the atime she's not really She's still a list, but she's not really she sat taking back with step now and actually gonna be a mother souon what she No, she she's had a kid, she had he

waste. Yeah, but yeah she I think she gave her mortic an interview where she said, I didn't really have a lifetile decide to go get one. So yeah, that makes sense. I mean she's respectively got it one maybe two oscars already, and you know, should turn her money from being in the Hunger Games movies and the X Men movies and all that kind of stuff. So yeah, and I think she can just like I think I might kick back and enjoy it for a while and more power to Yep.

Yep. But mister Burns and Lisa they hide in the attic. But first of all, he goes up the chair on the stairs and I'll just get missus deagle vibes from Gremlins into that chair. Oh yeah. But yeah, So they're hiding in the attic. Smith's is out getting a spray ton, and Lisa then finds the Employee of the Month award for mo for Moss, where he starts the man's a walking crimsical. Yeah, they start. He

starts telling the story that he was part of the Excluders Club. Han't interrupts, saying, you know, now you're telling Burns the story, and she says he compares the two. You know, when you watch old home videos, if you watching TV. Oh, it makes perfect sense. Now and that's a good comparison. That makes perfect sense. So as opposed to the play and within the play in Hamlet, you work at most Yes, there lies a tale of woo and heartbreak. When I couldn't possibly recount, I

understand, I just read a magazine. Okay, here's the story. I belonged to a very exclusive club, the Excludier's Club. One day while I was savoring the exclusivity. Wait, wait, wait, wait, now you're telling me Burns his story. Yeah, it's like the play within a play in Hamlet. Let's see, it's like when you watch old home movies of you watching TV. Gotcha? One day a new member arrived at the club. Who's this drat upole apric card. Yeah, I'm in oil. What's

your racquet? Slim new club power? They make money using my brain nuts, sticking a pool in the ground and praying for good. You need to get your hands dirty. Point extra devilment, A little Texas crude down in Houston. We call that a fort Worth shampoo. Sir, hey challenge you to a dude. You got it a bullet in the brain at high now, my ads, they could kill me. Hello about we settle things with a scavenger hunt. You're on twigget sorry about that. I'm just I'm a

big fan of a scavenger hun. When's the last time you did a scavenger hunt? We actually hosted one for our radio show when I was on k Rock well ten to fifteen years ago, and people went wild for it. It was like people loved it. How many what sort of items did they have to get? It was things like you know, photos are certain landmarks

in Geelong. But there was one where I was like, like we didn't say which specific store it was to get a kebab from a specific store, but there was clues which store it was, and like if you if you got the kebab from the right store, once you had finished the kebab, then you would be given the tokens. People were going to these kebab stores buying a kabab, eating it and then the guy was like, I know

what you're talking about. It so like it was just so that's the way we sort of got sponsors for the for the thing because various stores were getting promotion as a result at the end. Yeah, that's very clever, Dan. The rule was that you weren't allowed to tell the person in the kebab shop about the scavenger hunt. So it was just like either they knew or they didn't. And like they said, so many people would just be like,

what scavenger hunt? What are you talking about? It? Like, but the next morning here and they've got ten items to collect when it takes all And what did you think of the dream on bitch line from from Burns? Yeah, it doesn't fit Burns. I don't think doesn't Burns. I mean that it's yeah, just one of those things where you have a character who normal, he wouldn't say stuff like that, Bob Barker, Bob Barker. At least at least it worked there though, because he was responding to

what happy Gilmoitead said that is correct. This didn't really work. So I worked the montage of them collecting things like suspenders. They each take one of Lenny suspenders, his pants fall down, the letter I from the Springfield sign Homer's hand to take one hair each. Then they need a photo with a smiling child, and mister Burns tries to get one on the school bus and it's just not happening at all, and the rich textle wins because he gets

one with the Jimbo. Jimbo was happy to be part of it, gets the photo there. I think I think it was jim It was a gim It looked like Jimbo, right, was it Jimbo? I think so, yeah, yeah, And he rides smithers out out of the office or out of the out of the room. Then Burns. He spends three days or three nights with his unrelatives at the cemetery, and he says, I'm gonna way out from bottom. I'm gonna whip my way up to Mo's first, or from Mo's first, to get to get to the bottom. So he

enters. I did not like this next bit here of Homer just and co just mocking Burns. I'm like, what is happening here? You know? And it's one of those gags that just goes on a bit too long. Yeah, you know, it thinks that it's being smarter than it is by you know, Homers dancing like a jerk forever, and it's like, oh, yeah, he's gonna look like a jerk later when he does that. It's like, I get what you mean. But this was just poorly executed.

It's a good idea at a bit idea, let's poorly executed at five fifteen an hour. It would take an eternity to make my fortune back, and Faker wasn't helping do. But then, for once in my life, things went my way. I steamed a little open with Moo's cappuccino machine. If you're reading this, I am dead and you are about to learn the story of my treasure. Treasure treasure who has a cappuccino machine. We come back and margin Bart. They couldn't find a way out, but Bart ruined

some cave paintings. One of the lines he wrote was I want to have your calf, but at least I wants to have it keep with it whatever anyway. That tells people like the type of gross joke that you would make at the expense of a little sister. Though it's such a random although not at this age when you take into account the set up here like where where they are, the situation you could have had this anywhere. It's such a random set up for them or to be in this cave. But don't you

think, like there's no need the cave itself. The any pay off it is that Marge throws the gold down the hole at the end. But yeah, it's like it just seems like such an odd situation for the family to have found themselves in to tell this story, Well, I've got to be somewhere where, you know, they can't get out. Find an easier reason for Lisa to tell a story without episodes of people tell the stories in the past was from the living rooms, So what do they need to be tracked

in a cave? I don't know, doesn't animated the living room. It's like, think, let's give the animals a little thung. But he's he's heading to the supply store to buy some euro cake mix. He gets hit by the bus. Missus k gets off the bus and she the rack of an angel. She talks about how her X was a drunk. She hates all the bars and saloons and taverns. So he obviously lies because he wants

a piece of her. So he says that he's a therapist for alcoholics, So he says, he get rid of all the garbage my friends otherwise knows my best friend, so he throws them all out in this week. Get the Moo Barney means so awesome. Then they're having a great summer missus Ka and Moo. They're loving each other and the loving life. And she says

she's gonna be teaching fourth grade. The other question I have for this episode was that the timeline of things right, So missus k apparently arrives at Springfield when Bart's already in fourth grade. I must confess that did sort of take my brain and give it a little bit of a Chinese burn. Yeah, it's like, what's going on there? What am I turning in the dando

worrying about timelines? It just felt because as they're driving off here you see Martin and Nelson playing with each other, and I was like, wait, so the kids at the normal age missus Kay is like really young, they're playing with each other. Didn't playing it again? Time to kinde shut up? Shut up and like track lightning, Well, one of them's having fun. The guys that approach Mo they can find him because you know, they

want their drink. They feel sober because he's not helping him get drunk, and he said, I'm going to out the one of you that is gay, And yeah, that just feels like again a zinger with no foundation in Springfieldian reality. No, it's more like I mean that it's it's a really sort of old zinger. That kind of one was like, yeah, I've told all the girls here one of you was gay. Have fun guessing which one it's like or whatever. It's like, that's a bit kind of hackish.

Mo. He wanted to get out of Springfield, but he needed money. So this is where Snake fortunately arrives. But he's not Snake yet is. He is Professor jail Bird, as we will soon find out. And he's an archaeologist who has got to He's found some money from gold. He wants to donate it to the Natural History Museum in Springfield, but Most says he can't do that because they're closed. So he said, you'll do it tomorrow. You'll stay at night at the mo View Hotel across the road.

Most is, I wonder what to do, so I decide to do the right thing, and he robs him. I've been robbed. I'll take my revenge on society by which I'm in convenience stores and who would suspect me Professor Jailbird. Whilst I get what they're going forward, this line just felt very unnatural. I'm gonna take my revenge out of society aka convenience stores, and I am Professor Jailbird. I'm okay, this shows what a Hackey would be writer I am, but I mean professor Jailbird is just like two obvious.

Why not just have him like initials j L Bird. Oh yeah, and they've done that kind of gay before, but that makes far more sense. It's far more creative than I'm Professor Jailbird. I'm just felt like, again, how many times do you feel like they just run out of time? They're like home time quick throws up, men, let's move on. They

do. There's the sports World of thing. You've seen that thing where he talks about Yeah, I just do a really shit first draft full of placeholder gags like this happened, then this and the like yeah, but but then I get to rewrite, which is fun. Yeah. I got rid of the hard bit writing, which sucks, but I got to do rewriting, which is fun. And now the elves came in. It feels a lot the rewrites though, have just got out the window, doesn't it in a

lot of the cases. Yeah, that's that's when I'm that was a little bit of a mind blower along the lines of therefore all but yeah, just a really shit first rout. Well, I mean, that's like writing what I want. It's just like, yeah, get it all on the page, and then you know, chip away the stuff that doesn't worry, build the skeleton, and then and then Fanessa Yeah, yeah, then had the flesh, Yes exactly. But Edna, she says she has to tell the

school that she's not going to be teaching now. And she enters here and as Mo says, fate plays a little game up yours Mo because she has seen Bart and she or he's this is the thing. I thought this is going to be. I thought this was a callback to Bart gets an f where he thinks's going to fail the fourth grade and missus k Helpson get through

it right. But no, he was just lying to distract her. So I know, I'm just like, it makes you feel even sad if he's k It's like her whole her idea of what MO was was a lie. And everything's based on all things based on a lie, like I mean to Springfield just destroyed her. Yeah, there's a bit we you know where where Barton Edna and talking. He says, I bet I won't even make it through fourth grade. So I'm assuming that he's in third grade at this stage,

or you know, fourth grade is the year that's coming up. But we won't even through the fourth grade. I think he's meant to be in the fourth grade now, I think. But this is summer, right, so I guess I think it's the start of the year that's coming up. Yeah, so it's before he starts. So she's meant to his fourth grade teacher from the start. Okay, yep, I see what you're saying. Yeah, yeah, but even then, it's not really a whole lot of time. No, no, it still doesn't work. It doesn't make sense.

Now, best to make it work. It doesn't make sense for what you're going to do. We've bent space and time for you, Simpsons, but no, we couldn't do it. Marge calls out that you you know, you never had to tension all the way through summer. He says, you're just distracting the way it distracting missus case who Neilson is still the microscopes,

and then she tells Mo that she hasn't coming. He goes absolutely mental, and he goes and gets drug and Drownsy sorrows away by putting all the money or the gold in the jukebox, and mister Burns raised this and so you pull man, You're about to get a lot poorer. So he then trades all that gold with the text and I was like, this gold's really worth more than mister Burns ohs owns, I should say, like it's worth

more than a nuclear power plant. I'm not too sure about this, but anyway, he agrees to swap it back, and he says, the only way I'm going to do that, though, is if you give me the photo of you with a smiling child. And then we get the obsessive compulsive gag, which as a kid, I remember that was hysterical for me, but here I was just like whatever, possibly in sense, they've definitely unfunny.

We come back from commercial and the ram gets into the attic and then mister Burns just like risks his life a leasa and I'm like, what the folks going up? Mist that Burns would never do this. Don't take me, I'm old, like, take me this baronil thistle, spare this sweet young hour And I was like, no, that's not going to happen. But anyway, he hits mister Burns, knocks him to the to the wall, gives Lisa the pearl necklace, which that sounds pretty bad. But then

she asked, how did you find it? She asked how you how you found this? And then it starts telling the story. I'm like, whatever, Lisa was Lisa, why was her necklace on a tree? How did her necklace come off and then go into a tree? So like a necklace is just randomly fall off and land on a bush, Like you have to unclear a lot of holes, a lot of a lot of holes in this particular road. That Burns sacrificed his gorgeous body for nothing. I guess this

is what means when you're having a baby. And Lisa says she wants a photo with him, and he finally gets that photo that he needs. Meanwhile, bats now chewing Homer's leg for whatever reason, because the bats playing no story, no play, don't play to the story at all. Homer falls out and Homer reveals that he brought them all here to find the coins, and then like, I can't believe you would do something like this, And I was like, well, we didn't fall down the hole with but that

really have been such a bad like a bad thing. He brought you to a really nice family nature walk to to potentially find some treasure. That sounds like a good fucking family day out if you ask me, a family bonding exactly. Yeah. But Over then tells his story that he was hiding in the forest because you're supposed to watch Maggie's home. Is a terrible father, now everybody, just in case you went away. He hates looking after his kids. He hates his children, just so you weren't aware. He's a

terrible person. And because he was hiding in the forest, he oversaw the text in hiding the gold in the cave because he wanted to avoid paying taxes. And then Homer says, we need that money because for Bart's operation. But that's a story for another episode. Apparently the rich text and then randomly arrives in the cave, and then mister Burns and Mo randomly arrive not so

fast. Cheety Burt Johnson I'll take that gold. Yeah, you'll take it and then you'll give it to me if you know what's good for you. You guys have guns, well, so do iyo. Coolest entrance gets the goal? Um is it okay that I brought my son? This is my day with him, Jeremy, there's a boy over there you can play with. Do you like xbox? The do you like Xbox? Line? Got me as well, So I'm like, that's just kind of like when you're a kid. He's met in a kid You're like, so do you like

stuff? What was your goal to when you're a kid, like making a new friend? Mom was always like do you like football? Feel I feel like football? Was like if we both like football, will get along. We can at least bond over that football or Star Wars Star Wars okay yeah yeah? Or um, you're told a dirty joke even when you were like six, the dirty Oh yeah. I mean I don't want your idea of a dirty jokers when you're six, But something's a bit salty, a bit

right baal rybal Yes, Then we get a Mexican standoff. Homers two pay comes off because you got the Tupai with the with the fake hair earlier in the episode, make it pretends to have a gun, a little callback to who shot mister Burns. Then Marge threatens to drop the gold's let bring back Edna's love. It could definitely, that's like, that's actually because it's totally could if someone offered the gold. I think she would come back to him.

I love that mister Burns isn't important more, and you got a child to smile at you. No one'd rather have the goal. I would. I'd very much rather have the gold. And I was like, yeah, I can kind of relate to this. She throws it down the hole. They all thank her because now don't have to worry about trying to fight over it. They say, they're all going to the youth Center and Shelbyville for

fucking whatever reason. And mister Burns meanwhile still climbing down the hole to try and find the treasure, but then tells the story to Skinner, so it's like another story within a story within a story within the story. It's sort of very convolute him, but he's telling the story to Skinner, and the

Skinner doesn't believe it. And it looks at the window and sees Edna kissing Moe and she says, oh I want At this point is a man with a healthy libido, which he apparently doesn't have it, and the RIGI where he gets awkward. Then the rich Texan is talking over the credits with his

compulsive disorder, and that's the end. So, as we said, no logic, but you know, plenty of enough fun in this episode for me to give her the thumbs up. There's I said a lot of holes in this particular road about the vehicle itself sort of move fast enough and had decent enough suspension that you weren't going to go or anything like that. If I'm just watching this episode, I'm not thinking about all this stuff. I'm just

enjoying it. When I'm having to take notes and review it, that's what I overthink things, and I'm like, this doesn't make sense, and this doesn't make sense, which is why what I tend to do now is watch the episode first, see how I enjoy it, just absorbing it as a twenty two minute piece of television, and then I start taking notes because if I'm taking notes the whole time, it kills the flow of the episode because

I'm constantly pushing pause and things like that. So that's why I try to get my perspective as a viewer first and then as a reviewer, And the reviewer is usually a lot more harsher than a viewer. Correct. So what do we learn, Bomber? So what do you learn from the episode? Mister Davis? That I should really just shut up? I'm a track lightning. Yeah, that sounds like a good plan to me. I learned that never go for the till go for the jukebox A good move, a smart

move. Forward, your name droll me. Okay, and mister Davis, we're here to do the new names for the seemingly never ending story. The current leader board stands at this In first position, we have our man, Luke McKay, five points clear of second position, which is Heath Appleby. And in third position we have a four way tie. We've got Garrod, Harry Hill, Kyle Muldoon, Clever Kyle, focused chefs, and Adam Woolhouse or on these six points. So him, what do we have this week,

mister Davis for the new names? Okay, let's keep it short and sweet. One point goes to simception. Simception, Oh, very very good. Indeed, that goes to Mark Boston Burgess, Boston Boston. Indeed, yeah, nice one made okay two points four a series of anik dope. They got in there with the doves. They do love their dotes, and so do you. David Mott. He is a very smart man when it

comes to that, you know, maybe clever David, So David. That puts David now on seven points, which I believe has him been around about second or third position. But I'm anyway, can keep going. What do we have for three points and the third well not the third, not not third, let's first place with three points? Yeah, yeah, not at all confusing. That goes to stuck Caven Dad, Oh oh, you won't believe it. It's Clever Kyle living up to the name. Yes, buddy,

So okay. Leaderboard now, so they've gotten a little bit closer to Luke mckayl McKay didn't get any points this week, so still in first is Luke McKay on twelve. Clever Kyle is now in second position on nine points, and in third position. We have a two a tie with Heath Appleby and one David Mott and that one point from Mark Boston Burgess gotty much the three points as well, So he's slowly climbing that leaderboard. So thank you

guys for sending in your new names for similar the editing story. It's now time Stavis, that we answer some mail bag questions. Mailbagail Debail is here. Okay. The first question here for the mail bag is from Andrew JP. And Andrew says, what's your favorite meta slash self referential TV show or movie? Did Bill and Ted said? Bill and Ted was just whacky? They didn't reference it stuff? Did it? No? M community used to do it a lot. Well, yeah, um, I guess the one

that sort of did it for me back in the day. Um, there's a show that I referenced a lot that I really dig Moonlighting back in the eighties. Shepherd. Yeah, they broke the fourth wall all the time, and they they regularly acknowledged that they were on a TV show. Wow, I did not know that. Yeah, And you know, played around with the form all the time, and you know, they were always because the

show was, you know, it had really dense scripts. It was always sort of overwritten and scripted often come in late, and so they and they tended to acknowledge on the show. It's like oh, well, you know in search joke here because we didn't have toime to write a joke stuff like that. So you know, as a teenager watching that, it was like, Wow, that Bruce Willis is super cool. Help but make him one day and the next thing was these guys are really fucking around with the format.

That's interesting. So yeah, that's probably my my favorite. Yeah, that is very I'm gonna have to check out Moonlightly sometime because you always go on about it and it's a show that you don't see anywhere, Like it's not it's getting reruns anywhere or anything like that. But I mean, it's got Bruce Willis and his early days. It's got to be good, right. Apparently Disney Plus has um picked up the rights to stream it now when they're actually I'll do that, I'm not sure that. I don't think so.

No, but a while back, let's check it, okay, but if whilst you're talking, I'll check it. Continue if you google Moonlight slash Disney Plus or Hulu or something like that. They then because there was announcement like a few months back from the creator of the show. It's like I've got something to reveal, and everyone's like what reboot or and then the newspaper as well was coming out was like, no, reboot not happening for sad

reasons. Obviously, we shouldn't be laughing for sad reasons. We're not, yeah, not making fun, that's for sure. We're certainly not making fun of my man Bruno. But then it was like, yeah, we're remastering him and putting them up on streaming. So and I'm pretty sure it was

Disney Plants that was going to be doing it. But it's complicated because Disney Plus is different all over the world, certainly in the States, because I mean they've got Disney Plus, which is just Disney stuff, but they've got I've got Hulu, which is like, yeah, the adult version of Disney Plus, which is Disney Plus here in Australia. Looking at He's not on Disney Plus in Australia yet anyway, but you're right, that's one. They've

got things like um like the New Future Arms coming straight to Hulu. Yeah, yeah in the States, but we'll obviously get on Disney Plus here. Yeah, but that's that's my that's my choice, all right, Yeah, it's my selection. Next question, Ben lyons, what's the best treasure either of you have found outdoors or exploring a city you hadn't been to before. Oh, this is interesting to find treasure too, Like what's a hidney jam? We should say, like what's hidden gem you've found when you've been to

a city and you're like, oh, I didn't. We went to m du Buy as part of our honeymoon on the way back and there was this all you can eat places just by the main sort of like little port area, and it was a photo. We've got a photo of it in our We've got like a selfie like a collage in our in our bedroom now our honeymoon, so I've got them. I'm holding up the menu. So I actually looked this place up. I should go and do it because it was

honestly some of the most delicious fit I've ever had in my life. It was incredible in Dubai Dubai all you can eat, It's amazing. I'm glad that that worked out well for you, because I'll tell your story. The other night or the other weekend. The Lovely Louis and I were up in Melbourne at the party on Saturday night and then we went to the concert on Sunday night, and we hadn't eaten before the concert, so we got out about term thirty and we were just starving and we were dropping loose some back

at back at university, back at his college where he was staying. It was like, oh, we gotta get some to eat first. So we went to lig on Stream. I think it's the food Mecher of Melbourne. Of course, something you want to eat there. Yeah, yeah, there was barely anything, but ended up going to this like middle Eastern restaurant. We thought we'll have a kebab, there'd be some sort of chicken on a stick. It was just the I'm not going to name name that. It

was just the shabbiest place. The servers was so surly, and we're like, we're just so hungry, we'll take whatever. Um. We got these kebabs that were fine, But yeah, I mean, there's nothing like finding a great kebab joint. And it sounds like that you found a great food you joined when you're thinking of treasure. I mean, the first thing that came to mind was once I was at a music festival and you know, it was muddy and rainy and all this kind of stuff. I looked down,

and so what's that bright thing on the floor? There? Is it the leaf? It's a fifty dollar note. I think you may have told us this story before you that's like, I mean, obviously finding a hundreds even better, but like finding a fifty, it's like you feel like you hit the jackpot. From over there. You're like, I'm actually rich. Yeah, I mean, what's the most you ever sort of find on the ground. You mean you might see like a coin. Have you see a

gold coin? You're like, score, yeah, yeah, yeah, what's the least? To me? The least is like I'll pick up a fifty it's twenty or less. I'm like, ask some other guy. I can find it. But I never forget when I was a kid. I've definitely told this story before. I'm pretty sure. But we're at the Sunday Market in Balmont here in Geelong, and I was going to put my wrapper of something in the bin. I was in the bin and someone that dropped fifty bucks just in the bin. I was like, I would have been ten

or round it at the time. I still remember it though, just outside the now. How would you go to the market there, You've got the basketball arena and you can go inside. It was just at the doorway there and I'm looking at and going moment has for fifty dollars and my mum beam, my mum. She was like, well, make sure you're handed in so in case someone's lost it. I'm like, okay, man, man, okay. I really went to bag. I was actually figured it with

the hand, so we turned into garment. Yeah, yeah he can, man. So I got to hand it to him to the security guard and he goes, you can just keep it. I was like, awesome, said mummy. He's like, an keep it, and she goes, are you sure, and she looked at the guy and I poisoned at him. He sort of gave her the nod, and I was like, yes, what a man. Some poor kids, some poor persons lost their fifty dollars. But the security guys like, mate, you just have it. Just

let's go a lord. And then just just I don't forget Mum looking over at him, him just going it's all good. I got you. You've just got faith in the adult world. That's you're starting to think maybe to just have to screw me over. And I was like, we'll do this kid as solid. Yeah, it was it was a very great day. All right, A couple more questions than we'll wrap this one up. So, Andrew Swan, what's your favorite movie that starts at the end and then

goes back and retails the crazy eventu that led them to that point. Oh well, let's let's say pulp fiction out of the equation that's sort of all over the shop. It's sort of beginning, it's that sort of ending, goes back, but it's all over the shop. But a movie that sort of goes back and retails. Ah, I like the Soundlot Kids. The soundlot does that? Oh yeah, we did that on the movie Guys a few months ago. I was just trying to think of any that comes to

my mind. What does mister Hollins opens to that I don't recall? Actually, Titanic does that? Titanic is a big one. It does it doesn't, Yeah, it doesn't. It doesn't. It's not like it's retail that the events that happened immediately before the start of the movie, but it's still telling previous events of it. How the old woman got the gem. Yeah, yeah, this is a tough one. Oh, I wish they're Titanic and um and the Soundlot of the first two that comes to my mind for

whatever reason. Yeah, oh man, I'm going to think about this, mister Swan. I may have to talk to you in the patron chat yeah, and on the discord or find you on the on the Facebook group and let you know. But yeah, oh, I feel like I right, chump, Nothing springing to mind at the moment, but I'm sure there are really good ones, he said, not quite at the end, but he likes how Deadpool starts about midway and then backtracks to see how he got into

that situation. Mike Boston burges, do you think a prequel episode of Snake being an Indiana Jones type character would work? Also? I wrote it that he's called Snake in Indiana it hates snakes. Ah. Well, first of all, well well noted, well pointed out. I don't know. In all, it was such an odd, an odd character beat, wasn't it to see Snake being a good guy like this? I mean, I liked it, but it was just I don't know whether I want permanent Snake like

this. But we're big on prequels now, aren't we. So the idea of a prequel just sort of tantalizes everyone's thoughts. But it really does, doesn't it. Which you know, I don't think I'm all that mad on. I don't think he's just he's a he's a a thief, you know.

I don't want to know too much about good guy Snake. It was nice that we saw him how he became a good guy, but I don't I don't want too much of that, you know, No, No, I mean, I think the best prequel there ever was was really just the start of Indiana Jones on The Last Crusade, where you've got that ten twenty minute bit at the start where River Phoenix is playing young Indie, and you'll learn how we got the hat, how are you why he's afraid of snakes?

Hey, we got the scar on his chin. You'll learn how he becomes good with the whip. It's like that's all I needed. I don't need to know anymore. It's not like Batman, we always get the whole how his parents died. I think I think there's a moratorium on that from now. And I think everyone, I think any filmmaker is saying, we're not doing Martha Wayne's Pels. Forget it. No one's like gonna make a whole film about him becoming Batman. Everyone's like, oh no, it was

a good movie. But anyway, one more question. Let's get one more question. Actually it's two more here, mel life. I want to say that they say love this episode, the bit about Smithers out getting a tan. Do you think this is the Simpsons trying to explain Smithers on Homer's Odyssey. I've read somewhere that that was the inten Oh if it is, then I don't know that that's where you get Blacksmith is by the way in Homer's Odyssey. Oh okay, I don't. I don't think so. Oh yeah,

that's that's one of those things where it's like ed happened. We all know why it happened. It was just a mistake. Let's just move on. But I get what they're trying to say the Hommer I see, I don't hear these person said they read somewhere that that was the intention, But I find it very hard to believe. It seems like a big stretch. YEP, Stretching is good. We recommend everybody do it. Lou and I are always saying to one another because it's been a very complicated a couple of

weeks in the Davis households. Early both my mum and my sister, my elder sister, took tumbles. Give mum as well. Yeah yeah, mum shit some chords in the living room and land on the coffee table and mucked up her ribs. But we never told you this. Oh this just happened like two days ago. Still we've spoken in that time. I know, I know you have to tell me all your personal affairs, but that's like you tell me about your sister. I mean, you've been looking after your

sister, but your mom Margaret Mary. And she said, now I'm looking after Margaret Mary's mascot of this show. But here's the thing. Well, she took a tumble, but she went in. She got X rayed, no crack ribs, no internal bleeding. Plus I did some blood work. Ninety three year old Margaret Mary's got the blood work of like a twenty five year old Holy shit, kicking goals. Indeed, So you know, hopefully genetics will be on my side despite all my efforts to you know, just

sucking up by continue eating cheese bokes. Sorry, guys. Another forty years of Guy David's podcast Buckle up folks. Yeah, but also my sister Joe took a tumble as well. Now Joe's coming into look after mom because Joe's recovered so well, don't tag her in. Yeah indeed, so there's that. Um And why was it an eventful week? Why was I going to talk about it? Because you're talking about stretching. Oh yeah, so Lo

and I are like, I think we stretch more. I think we should be like limber in our old age, so we're not sort of using walkers. Although yeah, I noticed for me when I was like playing down the hallway of the kids, like I'm all fours, like playing with cars and stuff, and I struggle to get up. But I'm like, you're thirty four mates, sort yourself out. Oh just the orchestra of sound, yeah, that you make when you have to give up, when you have to

prepared to push up. Yeah, you're sort of braces. All right. Here's a task final question here focused Jeff's if you stumbled across the gold, would you take it? I've talked about the fifty fifty years gold. It's a gold note, doesn't it fifty? It's pineapples. Sort of goal is, if you found gold, would you take it. I would make sure that no one is around. I would maybe hang around for about another half an hour. If no one's claimed that ship, then it is mine.

I agree, Like, what's your what's your time? What's your time for a waiting to see if someone's coming to claim something? Or would you say half an hour? Is that enough? If? I don't know, Like it depends what it is, I guess, but you know, if have you ever come back to claim something like golden in half an hour? And then it's fucking it's fair game, surely, I think. So, Yeah, you're being quite You're stretching it out a bit. I'm more like ten

minutes maybe than five. I've spent that ship within ten minutes. All right, guys. That is the mailbag for the seemingly never ending stories.
