## Transcript

[0:00] Speaker 1: Welcome to Four Figure Discount, where this week my former
[0:03] Speaker 1: co-host Mitch and I go all the way back to
[0:05] Speaker 1: revisit an underrated episode from Season 3. It is Lisa's Pony.
[0:09] Speaker 1: So basically, each month Mitch and I now review a
[0:13] Speaker 1: Season 11 episode, continuing where we left off when Mitch

[0:19] Speaker 1: a classic from the Golden Era. Why are we doing this? Well,
[0:23] Speaker 1: we thought it'd be a fun experiment just to see
[0:25] Speaker 1: how we view these classic episodes now through the lens
[0:27] Speaker 1: of both being parents. Since we both have daughters who
[0:30] Speaker 1: we love to spoil relentlessly, Mitch thought it'd be a
[0:32] Speaker 1: fun idea to revisit Lisa's pony and compare our parenting
[0:36] Speaker 1: abilities to that of Homer. Now, today you're going to
[0:39] Speaker 1: get the first hour here for free, but if you

[1:12] Speaker 2: She likes a little carrot after her oats. And she
[1:15] Speaker 2: really likes it when you scratch her behind the ear.
[1:18] Speaker 2: And if you're playing the radio... She likes contemporary adult
[1:21] Speaker 2: in the morning and easy listening at night. Please take
[1:24] Speaker 2: good care of my princess. Although there is no change
[1:27] Speaker 2: in my patrician facade, I can assure you my heart

[1:54] Speaker 1: Welcome to Four Finger Discount, where this week we're going
[1:55] Speaker 1: all the way back to Season 3 to revisit Lisa's Pony.
[1:59] Speaker 1: I am Dando, joined right now by... Mitch. Mitch is back,
[2:02] Speaker 1: once again. We've reviewed this one back on.
[2:05] Speaker 2: I feel like my name has enough pizzazz. Mitch. Yeah,
[2:09] Speaker 2: Dando goes up. Mitch is just.
[2:11] Speaker 1: are you Mitchell.
[2:13] Speaker 2: I am technically Mitchell but it ends with static Mitch
[2:15] Speaker 2: like Mitch.
[2:17] Speaker 1: Mitch it's not showbiz we used to have the argument
[2:21] Speaker 1: is it Dando and Mitch or Mitch and Dando and
[2:23] Speaker 1: you always swore Dando and Mitch was better.
[2:25] Speaker 2: Mitch and Dando ends better but I do think that
[2:27] Speaker 2: the D of Dando grabs your attention straight away Mitch
[2:30] Speaker 2: and Dando Dando and Mitch whereas Mitch eases into it
[2:33] Speaker 2: like Mitch yeah true so my name begins indecisively and
[2:37] Speaker 2: it ends like your speakers are broken We'll be glad
[2:40] Speaker 2: you're back.
[2:41] Speaker 1: Yeah, it's good to be here.
[2:43] Speaker 2: Besides the name. Listeners, write in. Suggest a stage name

[2:50] Speaker 1: of the name Mitch.
[2:51] Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean, I don't need to get your

[2:56] Speaker 2: what do you suggest for me?
[2:57] Speaker 1: For your name? Do you really want to know?
[2:59] Speaker 2: Rocco. Rocco? Yeah. Jock. Something Italian.
[3:06] Speaker 1: Something Italian.
[3:07] Speaker 2: Cesar? Giovanni? Cesar.
[3:09] Speaker 1: I feel like you could pull off a Cesar. If
[3:10] Speaker 1: you said your name was Cesar, I'd buy it. Cesar.
[3:12] Speaker 2: Specifically pronounce it. Cesar.
[3:14] Speaker 1: Cesar. Cesar. Cesar. Yeah, because it's Cesar Milan, isn't it?
[3:18] Speaker 2: What about Cicero? Could I be a Cicero?
[3:20] Speaker 1: Is that a first or last name?
[3:21] Speaker 2: That's a first name.
[3:23] Speaker 1: Cicero, maybe.
[3:24] Speaker 2: Figaro? Figaro?
[3:26] Speaker 1: You're going to throw names out there now?
[3:27] Speaker 2: I am now. I've asked you to write in, but
[3:29] Speaker 2: I'll do your job for you.
[3:31] Speaker 1: But we're here to revisit Lisa's Pony because what we're
[3:33] Speaker 1: going to be doing now each and every month on
[3:35] Speaker 1: our exclusive for the Patreon channel. So you're hearing this
[3:37] Speaker 1: on the free feed, but you're not going to be
[3:38] Speaker 1: getting the full review. You get the full review of
[3:40] Speaker 1: today's episode, you're going to be a subscriber of ours
[3:42] Speaker 1: on Patreon. We're going to be doing a season 11
[3:44] Speaker 1: episode where we are continuing on where we stopped back
[3:47] Speaker 1: in 2020. And we're also going to go back and
[3:49] Speaker 1: revisit a classic now that we're both dads and see,
[3:51] Speaker 1: we view it through a different lens. And you chose
[3:54] Speaker 1: Lisa's Pony. Why did you choose Lisa's Pony?
[3:57] Speaker 2: Well, because I'm a girl dad and I have this
[4:01] Speaker 2: sickening amount of love for my daughter that is in,
[4:05] Speaker 2: I've been described as wholesome dad by a few people
[4:08] Speaker 2: at work. So it's, I was thinking about, I think
[4:12] Speaker 2: I very much wanted to do a Lisa episode when
[4:14] Speaker 2: you first said, let's do a classic one.
[4:15] Speaker 1: I was like, right.
[4:16] Speaker 2: Lock in on a Lisa episode.
[4:17] Speaker 1: I'm glad you didn't choose Lisa's Substitute. I thought you
[4:18] Speaker 1: were going to choose that one. I was like, don't
[4:19] Speaker 1: choose that one.
[4:20] Speaker 2: I was trying to go something. I nearly went Lisa
[4:22] Speaker 2: the Greek. That's a good one.
[4:24] Speaker 1: Watch it recently with the kids. The kids are loving
[4:25] Speaker 1: The Simpsons now.
[4:26] Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great episode. Yeah, that is a really,
[4:28] Speaker 2: really good one. But then- What a gaver. Then I
[4:31] Speaker 2: thought- I thought about Lisa's Pony as being one that
[4:35] Speaker 2: is- kind of it like middle of season three or
[4:41] Speaker 2: not quite middle of season three i feel like this
[4:43] Speaker 2: gets glossed over a little bit in the history it's
[4:46] Speaker 2: got a lot of really good beats it surprised me
[4:50] Speaker 2: going back to it and even to the point of
[4:52] Speaker 2: how much this can be glossed over i had kind
[4:55] Speaker 2: of not remembered the different pieces that connected together in
[4:59] Speaker 2: this episode but i you know i'm like all right
[5:02] Speaker 2: so there's really good stuff about the horse and obviously
[5:04] Speaker 2: homer and quickie mart I had forgotten about the talent
[5:07] Speaker 2: show at the beginning, which is a really solid opening.
[5:11] Speaker 2: But the first thing that I think I'll talk about
[5:15] Speaker 2: as a theme for the episode that's interesting is in
[5:17] Speaker 2: my head, four years of raising a girl, four years
[5:22] Speaker 2: of being in that state of mind of like, I
[5:25] Speaker 2: really struggled to say no to her. I love her
[5:27] Speaker 2: and she's our only kid, so we can spoil her.
[5:29] Speaker 2: And I just want her to have all of the things.
[5:31] Speaker 2: In my head, this was a really noble Homer story.
[5:36] Speaker 2: parenting had tinted my memory of the episode, I think.
[5:38] Speaker 2: Because then when I went back and rewatched it, I
[5:40] Speaker 2: was like, oh no, it was Homer's a deadbeat dad
[5:43] Speaker 2: and he's taking a shortcut to victory.
[5:46] Speaker 1: That is one way of looking at it, yeah.
[5:48] Speaker 2: And he does genuinely commit to it, but it was
[5:51] Speaker 2: such a... I don't want to say cheap, but it
[5:53] Speaker 2: wasn't the way I had remembered it. It wasn't like
[5:57] Speaker 2: this super loving theme. I think it ends there.
[6:00] Speaker 1: I think deadbeat's a bit harsh.
[6:03] Speaker 2: Well... I say this with two beers in front of me,
[6:06] Speaker 2: but it was interesting as well to jump back into
[6:08] Speaker 2: it to go, I'd also kind of forgotten how much
[6:12] Speaker 2: alcoholism played a part in the Homer character early. Early, yeah. Yeah,
[6:16] Speaker 2: and I almost wanted to go back and re-watch and
[6:19] Speaker 2: be like, when did that change? When did they drop that?
[6:21] Speaker 2: Because as it went on, it's less of a thing. Well,
[6:24] Speaker 2: he became.
[6:25] Speaker 1: I think there's a vibe of realism with the alcoholism
[6:31] Speaker 1: with Homer, right? And I think the more the show
[6:33] Speaker 1: became cartoony... the less they relied on the fact that
[6:36] Speaker 1: he drinks alcohol for him doing stupid shit. It was
[6:40] Speaker 1: just he's doing stupid shit because he's Homer Simpson.
[6:41] Speaker 2: Because he's dumb, yeah.
[6:42] Speaker 1: Because he's an idiot, as opposed to, oh, he can't
[6:44] Speaker 1: say no to a beer.
[6:45] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[6:46] Speaker 1: Now it's, no, he's just doing selfish shit because that's
[6:48] Speaker 1: what Homer Simpson does in season 14.
[6:50] Speaker 2: Yeah. There is a groundedness about it, though, and there's
[6:53] Speaker 2: like a pathos that comes of it. I think it's
[6:55] Speaker 2: part of what made the show so fantastic to so
[6:59] Speaker 2: many people, that it was- early yes exaggerated it's cartoon
[7:02] Speaker 2: but you saw so much of your own friends your
[7:06] Speaker 2: own family or whatever it might be in in the
[7:08] Speaker 2: characters on the show so that was another thing that
[7:11] Speaker 2: i had kind of forgotten about when i was diving
[7:12] Speaker 2: back in like oh yeah right that's not that's not
[7:15] Speaker 2: like i just said yes to this crazy thing to
[7:18] Speaker 2: make my daughter happy it's i'm a drunk and i've
[7:20] Speaker 2: ruined her talent show so i'm going to now ruin
[7:23] Speaker 2: our budget and potentially my relationship with my wife God
[7:28] Speaker 2: bless Marge in this episode. She's really hanging on strong.
[7:34] Speaker 1: It's also paying the price himself, though, because if he
[7:37] Speaker 1: just gave up the beer, he wouldn't have to work
[7:39] Speaker 1: the second job.
[7:40] Speaker 2: I don't know.
[7:40] Speaker 1: Obviously, he's going to be earning more money working the
[7:42] Speaker 1: second job.
[7:42] Speaker 2: No, we won't be doing that.
[7:42] Speaker 1: Yeah, we won't be doing that. And I think they
[7:44] Speaker 1: just wrote that in there as a way because people
[7:46] Speaker 1: at home, if you're going to really critique it, say,
[7:49] Speaker 1: why doesn't he just give up the beer? Why doesn't
[7:50] Speaker 1: the family just give up a few things? And it's like, no,
[7:52] Speaker 1: we're not doing that.
[7:52] Speaker 2: There's a few moments, even when he chooses to get
[7:56] Speaker 2: the beer, there's a few moments where they do go,
[7:59] Speaker 2: they ask the obvious question that the viewer would ask
[8:02] Speaker 2: and then answer it. Like, Homer, why don't you just
[8:03] Speaker 2: go there first? Hey, I don't tell you how to
[8:05] Speaker 2: do your job. Yeah, exactly.
[8:07] Speaker 1: Going back to, he said he ruined the talent show.
[8:09] Speaker 1: He did. And yes, he did, right?
[8:13] Speaker 2: If he didn't, in the grand scheme of things.
[8:15] Speaker 1: If he didn't go to Moe's, he would have got
[8:18] Speaker 1: there in time. He went to Moe's. He actually timed
[8:22] Speaker 1: it perfectly. Like he was, the guy closed early. Homer
[8:26] Speaker 1: wasn't to know the guy, he shouldn't have gone to Moe's.
[8:28] Speaker 1: I completely agree.
[8:29] Speaker 2: Probably shouldn't have wasted the five minutes. Exactly.
[8:31] Speaker 1: Shouldn't have gone to Moe's. He still got what was needed.
[8:34] Speaker 1: In saying that, though, where was Marge? Where was Flanders?
[8:38] Speaker 2: Like, it wasn't... Lisa's the one that forgot the read.
[8:41] Speaker 2: I have a question. Where were they? She said that
[8:43] Speaker 2: she tried calling them, but couldn't get on them. What
[8:45] Speaker 2: would Marge have been doing?
[8:46] Speaker 1: Not that it's Marge, but Lisa's the one who forgot it.
[8:48] Speaker 2: Did she forget it or did it break? I thought
[8:51] Speaker 2: it was... Oh, did it break, did it? Okay.
[8:52] Speaker 1: But it's... Homer's at work. He gets a call from...
[8:55] Speaker 1: It's not specifically his fault that she didn't have it. Yes,
[8:59] Speaker 1: he did the wrong thing, but you can't entirely blame
[9:03] Speaker 1: Homer for the fact that she didn't have a read
[9:04] Speaker 1: at the talent show.
[9:06] Speaker 2: You can't entirely blame her. No. I do think something
[9:10] Speaker 2: that I, again, have learned with a kid in the house, though,
[9:14] Speaker 2: it's pretty hard to ask a child to see the
[9:16] Speaker 2: world through the eyes of anything other than that child. Yeah.
[9:20] Speaker 2: And I assume that at eight, that that still holds true. Yeah.
[9:24] Speaker 1: I do like, though, that in this... The story for
[9:27] Speaker 1: me is that as parents, we make sacrifices. And we
[9:31] Speaker 1: make sacrifices for our kids that our kids are unaware of.
[9:35] Speaker 1: And there's a reason they shouldn't be aware of it
[9:37] Speaker 1: because they didn't ask to be made. We made these kids.
[9:41] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[9:41] Speaker 1: And it's part of our job to provide them with
[9:43] Speaker 1: what they need. And we should never throw it back
[9:45] Speaker 1: in their face. And I just like the fact that, yes,
[9:47] Speaker 1: he could have just given up beer. And he probably
[9:49] Speaker 1: could have. And yes, it was a shortcut to get
[9:51] Speaker 1: the pony to earn her love back or whatever, right?
[9:53] Speaker 1: But he still worked this second job and never once
[9:56] Speaker 1: threw it back in Lisa's face or felt any angst
[9:59] Speaker 1: or anger towards her. her because he knew it was
[10:02] Speaker 1: his job to provide for her. And he kept this
[10:06] Speaker 1: from her because he didn't want her to feel guilty
[10:08] Speaker 1: that she has this pony and he has to work
[10:11] Speaker 1: two jobs as a result. So there is that element
[10:12] Speaker 1: there of at least he was selfless in that regard
[10:15] Speaker 1: where he was willing to work two jobs to keep
[10:16] Speaker 1: her happy and never once threw it in her face.
[10:19] Speaker 1: It was actually Marge who told her. They play it
[10:22] Speaker 1: off for joke.
[10:23] Speaker 2: Whether they're playing it off for comedy, though, I think
[10:25] Speaker 2: there's probably a truth in what you're saying. But he's
[10:27] Speaker 2: also that he didn't want to tell them because he
[10:29] Speaker 2: was embarrassed to say that he was working at the
[10:30] Speaker 2: Quickie Mart.
[10:31] Speaker 1: You reckon it was that?
[10:32] Speaker 2: Marge, I did something I'm not proud of and I
[10:34] Speaker 2: don't want the kids to hear about it.
[10:35] Speaker 1: Was that the second joke? Was he announcing the second joke?
[10:38] Speaker 2: That's when he comes home from the first shift. Oh,
[10:39] Speaker 2: my God, you killed him. That's such a.
[10:43] Speaker 1: I hope Marge.
[10:44] Speaker 2: Busted!
[10:48] Speaker 1: But there was a lot to like in this episode.
[10:49] Speaker 1: There was lots of parodies and whatnot. I think the
[10:52] Speaker 1: Godfather one, that was one that went over my head
[10:53] Speaker 1: as a kid. I never saw the Godfather until I
[10:55] Speaker 1: was older.
[10:55] Speaker 2: Yeah, that confused the fuck out of me the first
[10:57] Speaker 2: however many times I watched this episode. Why is the
[10:58] Speaker 2: horse in a bed? Why does it look so terrifying?
[11:02] Speaker 2: Why is it just chilling?
[11:03] Speaker 1: It's just like, hey, I'm in your bed. It's also
[11:06] Speaker 1: a good Lisa story as well. And I'll spoil one
[11:08] Speaker 1: of my favorite moments, but I love when she's like,
[11:10] Speaker 1: oh man, all these years of lobbying to be treated
[11:12] Speaker 1: like an adult have finally blown up in my face.
[11:13] Speaker 1: That's when she has to make the decision. So she also.
[11:18] Speaker 1: Grows in that regard and realizes that, you know, parents
[11:22] Speaker 1: make sacrifices for us. Yes, I want to be happy.
[11:24] Speaker 2: Yes, I want a pony.
[11:25] Speaker 1: But you know what's more important than a pony is
[11:28] Speaker 1: a father's love.
[11:29] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[11:30] Speaker 1: And not that he didn't love her, but it's like,
[11:31] Speaker 1: I need to, there's more, yes, we say he fucked
[11:36] Speaker 1: up the talent show. He didn't really fuck up the
[11:37] Speaker 1: talent show. He played a part in it, but you
[11:40] Speaker 1: need to move on. Like you and I, both of
[11:42] Speaker 1: our teams lost in the finals. You need to quicken
[11:44] Speaker 1: in AFL finals recently. You can be angry, you can
[11:46] Speaker 1: be sad, but it's like at the end of the day,
[11:48] Speaker 1: It's just a footy game. And then this is just
[11:49] Speaker 1: a talent show.
[11:50] Speaker 2: Move on.
[11:50] Speaker 1: There's more important things.
[11:52] Speaker 2: Yeah. But we said that with age and experience. And
[11:55] Speaker 2: we would not have been able to do that when
[11:56] Speaker 2: we were younger as quickly or as easily.
[11:58] Speaker 1: No, that is true. What's something that your parents did
[12:00] Speaker 1: when you were eight that you could not forgive them
[12:02] Speaker 1: for for a while?
[12:03] Speaker 2: Divorce. Or remarrying.
[12:12] Speaker 3: Either of those two things.
[12:16] Speaker 2: I don't think there was anything smaller than that. um
[12:18] Speaker 2: i'm trying to think i reckon there was a time
[12:22] Speaker 2: actually you know what it would have been would have
[12:24] Speaker 2: been things like not being believed as a kid when
[12:28] Speaker 2: you knew you were telling the truth yeah uh because
[12:31] Speaker 2: like obviously you lie from time to time as a
[12:33] Speaker 2: kid it's actually fuck it's frightening how quickly kids learn
[12:35] Speaker 2: to lie it says a lot about who we are
[12:38] Speaker 2: but the i do remember times of um like it
[12:43] Speaker 2: if i remember what it would have been about but
[12:44] Speaker 2: me telling my dad like no this is what happened
[12:47] Speaker 2: like this is what i did and he'd be like
[12:49] Speaker 2: no you're a liar i'm like like that wounded me
[12:52] Speaker 2: in a way that i was like even at i
[12:54] Speaker 2: don't know eight nine ten whatever age i would have
[12:58] Speaker 2: been it was this i wouldn't have been able to
[13:02] Speaker 2: articulate it like that then but i look back at
[13:04] Speaker 2: it now being like That was one of those first
[13:06] Speaker 2: fundamental moments of like, our relationship just changed in a
[13:09] Speaker 2: way that is never going to be repaired from. Yeah, really?
[13:12] Speaker 2: Not that it's a broken thing, but it's just like, right,
[13:15] Speaker 2: that is a new, in parlance of today, core memory.
[13:19] Speaker 2: It was like, you've just put a chink in that
[13:21] Speaker 2: armor now that is never going to be able to
[13:22] Speaker 2: be buffed out because you didn't trust me when I
[13:24] Speaker 2: needed you to. Yeah. So that would be something that
[13:27] Speaker 2: I think I would have gotten really indignant about.
[13:28] Speaker 1: What's the problem though? I try to explain to my
[13:31] Speaker 1: kids that, Because sometimes they pretend like they're hurt and
[13:34] Speaker 1: stuff like that. And I try and say to them,
[13:36] Speaker 1: if you keep telling fibs, when you do need me
[13:40] Speaker 1: to believe you, I'm not going to. And they still
[13:43] Speaker 1: tell fibs. It's hard to sort of just teach them
[13:46] Speaker 1: that you've got to be honest.
[13:49] Speaker 2: Has Lex ever, has she fibbed yet?
[13:51] Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Yeah?
[13:52] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[13:53] Speaker 2: Massively. Is it fibbed?
[13:54] Speaker 1: It's because there's different kinds of lies. There's lies because
[13:57] Speaker 1: they don't want to get in trouble. There's lies because
[13:58] Speaker 1: they want to get what they want. They're the worst ones.
[14:01] Speaker 1: When they tell an absolute bullshit, they just manipulate. It's
[14:03] Speaker 1: more manipulation as opposed to, I'm just not going to
[14:06] Speaker 1: tell the full truth because I don't want the repercussions
[14:08] Speaker 1: of something I've done wrong.
[14:09] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[14:09] Speaker 1: As opposed to, I want that, so I'm going to
[14:11] Speaker 1: lie to get it.
[14:12] Speaker 2: So, she threw her first proper sickie the other day,
[14:17] Speaker 2: which was a good bit of lying. If I'm being
[14:19] Speaker 2: perfectly honest, she told me all of the symptoms. She's like,
[14:23] Speaker 2: I've got a sore throat and I feel warm and
[14:25] Speaker 2: my nose is blocked. And I mean, to a degree,
[14:28] Speaker 2: it was true. We've all been sick over the weekend. But,
[14:30] Speaker 2: she was also just bouncing off the walls for the
[14:32] Speaker 2: rest of the day. Like she was happy as anything
[14:34] Speaker 2: to have been home with us. And I think I
[14:37] Speaker 2: might've spoken about this already, but there was a moment
[14:40] Speaker 2: where she realized that she was about to walk into
[14:45] Speaker 2: a lie. So she didn't so much lie, but she
[14:47] Speaker 2: realized that she was about to have to, and she
[14:48] Speaker 2: just froze on the spot. So she'd found like two
[14:52] Speaker 2: bucks or something. At home? Yeah, at home. I had
[14:56] Speaker 2: some loose change sitting on my bedside table. And she
[14:59] Speaker 2: was playing in our bedroom. I was in the lounge room.
[15:01] Speaker 2: She came out. She's like, Dad, I have some money.
[15:04] Speaker 1: Where'd you get that from, Lex?
[15:10] Speaker 3: And then like, I know that's a visual, but if
[15:12] Speaker 3: anyone's watching this, she just looked into the distance.
[15:15] Speaker 2: She's just like, oh, fuck, oh, fuck, oh, fuck, oh, fuck, oh, fuck.
[15:18] Speaker 2: I don't know what to do.
[15:20] Speaker 3: She just refused to answer it and then walked out
[15:23] Speaker 3: of the room.
[15:25] Speaker 1: Back through a hedge.
[15:27] Speaker 2: I was like, that's, you know, I consider that a
[15:30] Speaker 2: form of lying. Funny as hell. There is part of
[15:33] Speaker 2: me where I'm like, I mean, you have to learn.
[15:36] Speaker 2: Everyone lies. She's going to have to learn how to lie.
[15:37] Speaker 2: I just hope that it's about funny stuff instead of it. Obviously,
[15:40] Speaker 2: there'll come a time where it's like, ah, it's a serious,
[15:43] Speaker 2: we need to have a sit down and address a
[15:45] Speaker 2: problem lie.
[15:46] Speaker 1: Wait till you get the whole.
[15:47] Speaker 2: That's a long way off.
[15:48] Speaker 1: You know, she's asked Ash for something. Ash is like, no,
[15:50] Speaker 1: you're not having it.
[15:51] Speaker 2: Oh, but dad said? No, no, not even that.
[15:54] Speaker 1: It's just going to you without acknowledging that she's already
[15:57] Speaker 1: asked mom and going, hey, dad, can I do that?
[15:59] Speaker 1: What did your mom say? When you say that, he's like, oh,
[16:03] Speaker 1: I don't know. Mom, I haven't said no in weeks.
[16:06] Speaker 2: Who?
[16:07] Speaker 1: But has she done that yet? Well, she's gone to someone.
[16:10] Speaker 1: Gone to you, you've said no, and she's gone to
[16:11] Speaker 1: Ash just to see what the other one says without
[16:13] Speaker 1: saying dad said yes.
[16:15] Speaker 2: No, she hasn't. Yeah, they're the good ones.
[16:17] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[16:18] Speaker 2: She has played us off with the- ask me for
[16:22] Speaker 2: an icy pole. And then like, mom, dad says I
[16:24] Speaker 2: can have an icy pole. So like that, that's halfway there,
[16:28] Speaker 2: but she hasn't, she hasn't completely admitted what I've said yet.
[16:31] Speaker 1: And she, has she gone, has she just said no
[16:32] Speaker 1: to you yet?
[16:34] Speaker 2: Oh, fuck. Yeah. Yeah.
[16:36] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[16:36] Speaker 2: She runs the house.
[16:41] Speaker 1: Oh, kids. Anyway, you've only got one of them, so
[16:43] Speaker 1: that's all right.
[16:44] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[16:44] Speaker 1: The good thing about having two is that you can,
[16:47] Speaker 1: go and do something and lead them together because it's
[16:48] Speaker 1: like well if one's hurt the other one will come
[16:50] Speaker 1: and tell me at.
[16:51] Speaker 2: Least yeah yeah we're trying it's like because we're in
[16:56] Speaker 2: our late 30s and had children late we've taught her
[16:58] Speaker 2: zero zero zero so if either of us has a
[17:01] Speaker 2: fall it's on lex to get us out of.
[17:03] Speaker 1: The house does she know how to unlock your phone
[17:05] Speaker 1: have you shown.
[17:05] Speaker 2: Her that no um mostly because well i've.
[17:09] Speaker 1: Shown the kids i feel like that's a dangerous world
[17:11] Speaker 1: yeah i did teach her how to To get up
[17:14] Speaker 1: the emergency number. So if she needs to dial- Can
[17:16] Speaker 1: you do it without unlocking?
[17:16] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[17:17] Speaker 1: Okay.
[17:18] Speaker 2: You can dial triple zero, I think, on anyone's phone
[17:20] Speaker 2: without unlocking.
[17:20] Speaker 1: Ah, there you go.
[17:22] Speaker 2: Hey, my favorite.
[17:24] Speaker 1: But Lisa's Pony, did you have any favorite moments?
[17:27] Speaker 2: So I've always really liked the interactions between Homer and
[17:32] Speaker 2: the Pony Lady, for want of a better word. Like,
[17:35] Speaker 2: the one there is half a million dollars. You take
[17:39] Speaker 2: a check. Is there any place where the lost ponies
[17:42] Speaker 2: run away? No. But I think on the rewatch, the
[17:47] Speaker 2: bit that made me laugh the most was Pet Store Guy. Yeah.
[17:50] Speaker 1: It's just Wiseguy, isn't it?
[17:51] Speaker 2: Yeah. What is that stink? Oh, it's you. This is
[17:55] Speaker 2: the thing, though.
[17:56] Speaker 1: I don't think it needed the, oh, it's you.
[17:57] Speaker 2: It's like, what's that stink?
[17:59] Speaker 1: And then just have Homer arrive?
[18:00] Speaker 2: Yeah, that would have worked. And maybe just the sheer
[18:03] Speaker 2: brutality of Homer getting smashed in the head by the
[18:06] Speaker 2: sliding doors.
[18:07] Speaker 1: Yeah, that's sort of an iconic visual, isn't it? Yeah,
[18:09] Speaker 1: I think there's a few clip shows and things like that. Yeah,
[18:11] Speaker 1: it comes up when they talk about the... Repeated blunt
[18:14] Speaker 1: trauma to the head. We actually haven't touched on the
[18:17] Speaker 1: Homer B-plot of working at the Quickie Mart. We haven't
[18:19] Speaker 1: really dove into it. What are your thoughts on it?
[18:20] Speaker 1: I think this is a pretty memorable B-plot.
[18:22] Speaker 2: It is a memorable bit.
[18:23] Speaker 1: It's a memorable finale, isn't it? And closing sequence.
[18:26] Speaker 2: I mean, you get some really, really good jokes about
[18:28] Speaker 2: convenience stores in there, the hot dogs, the go change
[18:31] Speaker 2: the expiration dates on the dairy products.
[18:33] Speaker 1: All that sort of stuff.
[18:34] Speaker 2: Yeah. What was it? The illustrious and the high-profile. Midnight
[18:41] Speaker 2: to 8 a.m. shift. The young man who you replaced
[18:43] Speaker 2: is rolling over in his grave. Too much. Apu not
[18:48] Speaker 2: being able to sleep at like 3 in the morning
[18:50] Speaker 2: or something like that. You've got Princess Kashmir at home, mate. Yeah,
[18:52] Speaker 2: I know. What a bachelor. Yeah. That was another one.
[18:55] Speaker 2: I was like, oh, Bachelor Apu. What a world.
[18:57] Speaker 1: It's also like that closing visual is perfect for memes,
[19:00] Speaker 1: isn't it? Like when someone's retiring or whatever, it's like,
[19:03] Speaker 1: He was shit. When Labashain retires, it was like, he
[19:06] Speaker 1: bowled pies. I think I did it for Kawaja.
[19:09] Speaker 2: You did, yeah.
[19:13] Speaker 1: We need to start that cricket podcast, by the way,
[19:14] Speaker 1: because Labashain getting named in that South African team is
[19:17] Speaker 1: a podcast in itself.
[19:20] Speaker 2: I mean, it's not a great title, but sure, we
[19:23] Speaker 2: can work something up.
[19:26] Speaker 1: Some of my favorite moments. So I really enjoyed this
[19:28] Speaker 1: because I have vivid memories of having this kind of vibe.
[19:33] Speaker 1: Staying up late and seeing like a cast and whatever.
[19:36] Speaker 1: So the kids are watching cast and Billy Vanilli is
[19:38] Speaker 1: impersonating a McNugget. Heyo. Well, it's still fun to be
[19:41] Speaker 1: up late because they have no idea what he's talking about.
[19:43] Speaker 1: But it's just the idea of, I remember watching Conan
[19:46] Speaker 1: and not really getting Conan's gag. And I'm like, I
[19:49] Speaker 1: don't know what's happening. here, but it's 1130 and I'm awake.
[19:52] Speaker 1: And mum's sitting next to me on the couch and
[19:53] Speaker 1: she's not telling me to go to bed. I'm like,
[19:54] Speaker 1: this is cool.
[19:55] Speaker 2: Yeah. I think I loved Letterman for the same reason.
[19:58] Speaker 2: Like early, it was just a case of like, this
[20:02] Speaker 2: is what adults do. This is fun. And then when
[20:04] Speaker 2: I was in year seven, I had a, I've had
[20:07] Speaker 2: another friend who liked Letterman, so that was kind of
[20:10] Speaker 2: a fucking weird vibe thing that we had going on
[20:13] Speaker 2: at lunchtime, just talking about what happened.
[20:14] Speaker 1: At Letterman the night before through half-open eyes. And then
[20:17] Speaker 1: you start to get it, and you're like, oh, I
[20:19] Speaker 1: actually am growing up now.
[20:21] Speaker 2: Yeah, that's kind of cool. There's a beautiful album that
[20:28] Speaker 2: you can get on Bandcamp called Stories for this- Sorry,
[20:31] Speaker 2: did you say Bandcamp?
[20:32] Speaker 1: Bandcamp.
[20:32] Speaker 2: It still exists. Yeah.
[20:34] Speaker 1: What was that other one that started with S? Sound... SoundCloud?
[20:38] Speaker 2: SoundCloud. Yeah, that's still around.
[20:40] Speaker 1: That's where podcasts used to live, SoundCloud.
[20:42] Speaker 2: It's still around. Yeah. Really? Yeah. Anyway, Stories from the
[20:46] Speaker 2: Starlit Sky by Gavin Osborne and Daniel Kitson, which was three...
[20:50] Speaker 2: Your man. My man, Daniel Kitson. Three one-hour shows that
[20:53] Speaker 2: they did. I think the original conceit was they performed
[20:57] Speaker 2: them at midnight, three nights in a row, and then
[21:00] Speaker 2: they brought it out to Melbourne. A stand-up show?
[21:02] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[21:04] Speaker 2: Not stand-up, it was more story, like literally story. So
[21:06] Speaker 2: Daniel would read, had written three different stories, and Gavin
[21:10] Speaker 2: is a musician, and he would sing some accompanying songs
[21:13] Speaker 2: that would break up the acts of the stories. Then
[21:18] Speaker 2: they redid it and they did it as a three-hour show.
[21:20] Speaker 2: They just did them back-to-back. But they're all stories about
[21:23] Speaker 2: the magic of staying up late and trying to stay
[21:26] Speaker 2: up the whole night.
[21:28] Speaker 3: And.
[21:30] Speaker 2: this year um i'm i'm looking at some accommodation somewhere
[21:34] Speaker 2: i don't really care where but i want to get
[21:36] Speaker 2: out with lex in the middle of december to watch
[21:39] Speaker 2: the gemini media shower and like that is going to
[21:43] Speaker 2: be i'm not going to make her stay up all
[21:45] Speaker 2: night i'll let her sleep but i think that will
[21:47] Speaker 2: be that first time of like being awake at maybe
[21:49] Speaker 2: three or four in the morning with her and being
[21:53] Speaker 2: this exciting moment of a kid being you know like
[21:57] Speaker 2: you know a daughter with her dad staying up, looking
[22:00] Speaker 2: at the stars in the middle of the night is
[22:02] Speaker 2: something that I hope will be a really, really cool thing.
[22:04] Speaker 1: It actually is really exciting to them. Because I remember
[22:06] Speaker 1: last year was the first year we let the kids
[22:08] Speaker 1: stay awake for the midnight fireworks at New Year's Eve.
[22:11] Speaker 1: And it meant so much to them.
[22:12] Speaker 2: Like, it's tomorrow. Like, they could not believe it. And
[22:15] Speaker 2: I still remember that feeling as well. Those glorious times
[22:19] Speaker 2: where you get there. You know that thing of like,
[22:22] Speaker 2: you might be watching a movie or you're on the
[22:24] Speaker 2: couch or something and you look at the time and
[22:25] Speaker 2: you're like, fuck, it's 9.30. Well, you wouldn't have said
[22:28] Speaker 2: fuck because you're a kid, but you're like, It's 9.30.
[22:29] Speaker 1: They haven't said anything.
[22:30] Speaker 2: They haven't said anything. If I just stay really, really still,
[22:33] Speaker 2: maybe they won't say anything.
[22:34] Speaker 1: They think I'm in bed.
[22:35] Speaker 2: Yeah. It's 10.30. I might just close my eyes and
[22:38] Speaker 2: pretend I'm asleep. They're about to put a second movie on. Yeah. Yes.
[22:42] Speaker 1: So, Elliot experienced that for the first time this year
[22:44] Speaker 1: with the football. So, when it's a night game, sometimes
[22:48] Speaker 1: we say, you can stay up until halftime. And it
[22:51] Speaker 1: gets to halftime and he's just like, it's time for bed, mate.
[22:53] Speaker 2: He's like, okay.
[22:55] Speaker 1: And Nick and I always usually say, If he just
[22:57] Speaker 1: goes with it and says, all right, you can stay up.
[23:00] Speaker 2: He's just like, yes! It's the greatest thing ever.
[23:03] Speaker 1: And him staying up until like 11, because I take
[23:04] Speaker 1: him to the night games and things like that. And
[23:06] Speaker 1: now he can actually do it, because he used to
[23:07] Speaker 1: be a shithead the next day. But that vibe of
[23:11] Speaker 1: staying up to halftime, we'll see if John's getting belted,
[23:13] Speaker 1: you can go to bed. Otherwise, you can stay up.
[23:15] Speaker 1: And then the sort of realization of, I'm staying up.
[23:18] Speaker 2: Yes!
[23:19] Speaker 1: And to us, it's just, it's 9.30. But to him,
[23:21] Speaker 1: it's like a whole new world.
[23:23] Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. A lot of my parent friends, 9.30 is
[23:25] Speaker 2: staying up for them. Oh, no, it is.
[23:27] Speaker 3: Yes.
[23:27] Speaker 2: To be fair.
[23:28] Speaker 1: We went out on a date night, I don't know,
[23:29] Speaker 1: about a month ago.
[23:30] Speaker 2: And we were out.
[23:31] Speaker 1: Well, I'm going to go out and have a few drinks,
[23:32] Speaker 1: go for a dance, blah, blah, blah. It's like 10.45.
[23:34] Speaker 1: I'm like, I just want to go home.
[23:36] Speaker 2: We were knackered.
[23:37] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[23:39] Speaker 2: I don't like the look of those teenagers.

[24:06] Speaker 1: Jam at Reading Cinemas on Friday night.
[24:08] Speaker 2: AM? PM. Oh, okay.
[24:10] Speaker 1: Tie in with this, yeah. Because I said it's not
[24:13] Speaker 1: till 9.30 and Holly's like, Is the sun going to
[24:15] Speaker 1: be down? I said, yeah, the sun will be down
[24:16] Speaker 1: by then. She's like, oh, I'm going to be out
[24:18] Speaker 1: when the sun's down.
[24:19] Speaker 2: Why is Space Jam on? Is it an anniversary? 20th?
[24:22] Speaker 1: 30th anniversary. 30th anniversary. We're fucking old, man.
[24:26] Speaker 2: Shit. 30th anniversary of Space Jam. It's pretty cool that
[24:29] Speaker 2: they're bringing it back, though.
[24:31] Speaker 1: They do it every week now. There's two retro films.
[24:33] Speaker 2: At Reading. That Indiana Jones one last week. How have
[24:35] Speaker 2: I missed that? Indiana Jones was last week.
[24:37] Speaker 1: That's pretty cool. I don't know if you've tried to
[24:39] Speaker 1: the answer.
[24:39] Speaker 2: Jaws on one thing.
[24:39] Speaker 1: I went and saw Jaws at Reading. Every Tuesday and Friday,
[24:42] Speaker 1: they have a retro movie. There's something about Mary's on tonight,
[24:45] Speaker 1: and Friday is- Fuck, what am I doing here?
[24:50] Speaker 2: Yeah, check it out. Reddings, every Tuesday, they have retro,
[24:53] Speaker 2: and it's only $ 11 a ticket. Yeah, right. That's so good. Yeah.
[24:57] Speaker 1: Shout out to Reddings.
[24:59] Speaker 2: I know. Village do it as well, but it's just Reddings,
[25:01] Speaker 2: I don't know. Village has still got a stink about it.
[25:03] Speaker 2: It's not as good as cinema. Stank. Sorry.
[25:05] Speaker 1: Stank.
[25:06] Speaker 2: Yeah. It's one of those ones where it's like, I'm
[25:09] Speaker 2: only going there- Because it's got the kid's cinema. The
[25:11] Speaker 2: kid's cinema or- Gold class. Although, truthfully, I hate that
[25:14] Speaker 2: because the intermission, it's hard to get them to settle
[25:16] Speaker 2: back down.
[25:17] Speaker 1: I know I'm biased. My kids are fucking angels in it.
[25:20] Speaker 1: They do their thing. They come straight back. They're quiet
[25:22] Speaker 1: the whole time. And I've figured out a hack for
[25:24] Speaker 1: the kid's cinema. You know those beanbag seats down the bottom?
[25:28] Speaker 1: They look uncomfortable as shit. They look like they're too
[25:30] Speaker 1: close to the screen. Well, we sat in them for
[25:32] Speaker 1: the last two times, second or third row back.
[25:35] Speaker 2: They're a dream.
[25:35] Speaker 1: You can almost lay down in them. And the beauty
[25:37] Speaker 1: is because they only use the speakers from the front-
[25:40] Speaker 1: in the kids' cinemas because otherwise it'd be too loud, right?
[25:43] Speaker 1: So there's no chaos between you and the speakers. So
[25:45] Speaker 1: you can actually hear the speakers and you don't actually
[25:48] Speaker 1: hear the chaos that's happening behind you because A, you're
[25:50] Speaker 1: not seeing it, the kids running around, and B, it's
[25:53] Speaker 1: not blocking, it's not in between you and the actual
[25:55] Speaker 1: audio of the movie. So I actually watched the new
[25:58] Speaker 1: Port Patrol movie with the kids on yesterday.
[26:00] Speaker 2: Yeah, yesterday.
[26:01] Speaker 1: And it was just like, I was just at the cinema.
[26:03] Speaker 1: I didn't even realize I was in the kids' cinema.
[26:04] Speaker 2: Yeah, right.
[26:05] Speaker 1: I turned around at one point to have a look
[26:06] Speaker 1: and it was just kids running around and standing on
[26:08] Speaker 1: the seats and.
[26:08] Speaker 2: Blah, blah, blah. A guy in Charlie Clawson doing an
[26:11] Speaker 2: episode about the new Paw Patrol movie. We'll keep an
[26:13] Speaker 2: eye out for it.
[26:15] Speaker 1: But did you have any other favorite moments from this episode?
[26:18] Speaker 2: You know what I liked, actually, now that you ask
[26:21] Speaker 2: about it, it's not a favorite moment, but it's a
[26:22] Speaker 2: favorite usage. I really liked the way they used Bart
[26:26] Speaker 2: in this episode in that it's not a Bart episode.
[26:29] Speaker 2: He's there enough. He's funny when he's there. It never
[26:32] Speaker 2: felt crowbarred in, but it was also like the confidence
[26:36] Speaker 2: to just go, we can sideline him for this one.
[26:38] Speaker 2: It's fine. And I don't think subsequent writers necessarily did
[26:44] Speaker 2: that quite as well. That Bart would be kind of
[26:48] Speaker 2: inserted in an obnoxious way and in like a, well,
[26:51] Speaker 2: we need to have him sort of way. Whereas it
[26:53] Speaker 2: was just like, you know, talent show, very funny, laughing
[26:56] Speaker 2: at Homer in the quickie mart, very funny. The little
[26:58] Speaker 2: moment you just mentioned of like just staying up late.
[27:01] Speaker 2: I can get Lisa to give the pony back. Yeah.
[27:04] Speaker 2: Like it all feels true to character. Yeah. I don't know.
[27:07] Speaker 2: It feels like he's only got two minutes of screen time.
[27:09] Speaker 2: It might be more, but it doesn't feel like he's
[27:12] Speaker 2: in it for much, but his presence still felt really well.
[27:15] Speaker 1: It could have very easily had a Bart B plot.
[27:18] Speaker 1: You're right. Some episodes would have crammed into Bart B
[27:20] Speaker 1: plot for no reason. Him and Milhouse are fighting over
[27:22] Speaker 1: something or whatever. I actually thought when I saw him
[27:24] Speaker 1: and Grandpa doing the video game, I thought, oh, is
[27:26] Speaker 1: this the video game one?
[27:27] Speaker 2: Yeah. But it wasn't. It was just one scene. It
[27:28] Speaker 2: was just a random moment. I fucking... Get on.
[27:32] Speaker 1: The floor for this?
[27:33] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[27:33] Speaker 1: That was amazing.
[27:34] Speaker 2: Oh, I related to that.
[27:35] Speaker 1: I'll go down the floor for this.
[27:38] Speaker 2: I have... Like, Lex has got.
[27:42] Speaker 2: Lex loves, like, so many kids. Like, you know, she's
[27:44] Speaker 2: imaginative play. But she's got two or three go-to role-play games,
[27:48] Speaker 2: and she's so fucking demanding about how you play them.
[27:52] Speaker 1: Oh, she's in that phase, is she?
[27:53] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[27:53] Speaker 1: She's out of it now, but she went through it, yeah.
[27:56] Speaker 2: I'm a mermaid queen, and bad guys are trying to
[27:59] Speaker 2: get me, and they are sitting on my tail, and
[28:01] Speaker 2: you're Prince Superman, and you have to fly down, and
[28:04] Speaker 2: you say, get out of here, bad guys, and you
[28:06] Speaker 2: punch them, and you throw them into the sun, but
[28:09] Speaker 2: you try to lift me up, and you can't lift
[28:11] Speaker 2: me up, and then I'm still stuck in here, and
[28:13] Speaker 2: then you have to put the bad guys in jail. Excelsior!
[28:18] Speaker 2: But Superman doesn't say Excelsior. Just say it! Just say it!
[28:22] Speaker 2: And then I'll do it. And then I'll go off
[28:23] Speaker 2: script a tiny bit and be like, I'll go to
[28:26] Speaker 2: pick her up. She's like, no, no, no, you can't
[28:27] Speaker 2: pick her up. Or it's like, you can't pick me up.
[28:29] Speaker 2: Or sometimes it gets grim. I don't know if Holly
[28:33] Speaker 2: does this. Girls have got twisted imaginations.
[28:35] Speaker 1: We talk about dying a lot.
[28:36] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[28:37] Speaker 1: Holly went through that phase of death.
[28:38] Speaker 2: A lot of death. Yeah, death. I think one of
[28:40] Speaker 2: them was she wanted to keep recreating Moana. Moana 2,
[28:45] Speaker 2: where she swims down to... Is it Lullaby?
[28:48] Speaker 1: I recall nothing about that movie. It was in and
[28:49] Speaker 1: it was out.
[28:50] Speaker 2: She gets struck by lightning at the end of it, though,
[28:52] Speaker 2: and she gets knocked unconscious. And Maui is holding her
[28:58] Speaker 2: in his arms.
[28:58] Speaker 1: Okay.
[28:59] Speaker 2: So she'd be like, okay, can you pretend that I
[29:01] Speaker 2: got struck by lightning and I died? And then she'd
[29:04] Speaker 2: just lay there and pretend to be dead. And I'd
[29:06] Speaker 2: be like, Lex... You've got nothing for me to do
[29:10] Speaker 2: in this role play. Like, I'm just here waiting for
[29:12] Speaker 2: you to not be dead anymore.
[29:13] Speaker 1: Can we do.
[29:14] Speaker 2: I'm like, what if I do CPR? No, I'm dead.
[29:18] Speaker 1: Anyway.
[29:19] Speaker 2: So, there is a lot of... I got down. I'm
[29:22] Speaker 2: going to be on my knees for the next 15 minutes.
[29:25] Speaker 2: Pretend weeping over your pretend corpse. Like, Lex, this hurts.
[29:30] Speaker 1: Yeah, no. Holly did the same phase. And it's just...
[29:33] Speaker 1: You do the slightest thing different and it gets so
[29:35] Speaker 1: angry at you. You're like, why are you getting angry
[29:37] Speaker 1: at me? We're just playing games.
[29:38] Speaker 2: Yeah furious filthy we've been having a lot of like
[29:42] Speaker 2: lex you have to understand that other people are going
[29:44] Speaker 2: to want to play different games i didn't think i
[29:47] Speaker 2: would have to explain yes and to a four-year-old but
[29:50] Speaker 2: this is where we're at i'm giving you something i'm
[29:52] Speaker 2: gonna run with it i'm We're going to sit down,
[29:58] Speaker 2: we're going to watch Who's Line Is It Anyway? We're
[29:59] Speaker 2: going to learn something about how to bounce off your
[30:01] Speaker 2: scene partner.
[30:02] Speaker 1: I watched Who's Line Is It Anyway the other day
[30:04] Speaker 1: with Richard Simmons and it was amazing, hilarious.
[30:08] Speaker 2: I've seen that one. It's been a long, long time.
[30:10] Speaker 2: Did you say Colin Mochrie was on a podcast recently? Oh, yeah, okay.
[30:16] Speaker 2: Maybe that actually, that would explain it because he was
[30:17] Speaker 2: talking to a couple of Australian guys. Okay. So just
[30:19] Speaker 2: some clips that popped up on Instagram. But he was
[30:22] Speaker 2: talking about the filming of Who's Line that it was
[30:24] Speaker 2: basically like they would do an entire season over the
[30:26] Speaker 2: course of two weekends. It seemed like that must have
[30:29] Speaker 2: been the cushiest gig of all time for a while.
[30:32] Speaker 1: I can imagine them doing like, you know, six, eight
[30:34] Speaker 1: episodes in a go. Yeah.
[30:35] Speaker 2: And it also makes sense to my brain now when
[30:37] Speaker 2: I look at that show, because for a long time
[30:40] Speaker 2: I was like, fuck, these guys don't age. Because they
[30:42] Speaker 2: did five years worth of work in months. In two weeks.
[30:46] Speaker 2: That was it. That was all I got fed on.
[30:47] Speaker 1: For the next little bit. There just aren't shows like
[30:50] Speaker 1: Who's Line anymore.
[30:52] Speaker 2: No, certainly not. Thank God you here had another role,
[30:55] Speaker 2: didn't it? Did they have a little bit of a resurfacing?
[30:57] Speaker 2: It wasn't as good, though.
[30:58] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[30:59] Speaker 2: Like, it tried. I felt like once it changed networks,
[31:01] Speaker 2: it wasn't the same. I feel like it got more
[31:03] Speaker 2: money and it wasn't as good when it had better sets.
[31:06] Speaker 2: One of those weird ones where it.
[31:07] Speaker 1: Needs to feel indie.
[31:08] Speaker 2: Yeah, it's got to feel like anything could happen. As
[31:10] Speaker 2: soon as it's a really smooth production, it doesn't feel
[31:14] Speaker 2: like anything could happen anymore.
[31:15] Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
[31:17] Speaker 2: Next question. You there, eating the paste.
[31:20] Speaker 1: Trivia time. My first question for you is.
[31:22] Speaker 2: Oh, can I cheat and give you the same... Whenever
[31:25] Speaker 2: we first did this, I have the same questions. Oh,
[31:27] Speaker 2: do it.
[31:27] Speaker 1: Yeah, that'd be fun.
[31:28] Speaker 2: Fantastic. Bit of fun.
[31:29] Speaker 1: If you still got your original notes.
[31:31] Speaker 2: Yeah. That's wild. Yeah. Wow.
[31:34] Speaker 1: For every episode?
[31:36] Speaker 2: I got like 130 of them in Evernote. That's pretty cool.
[31:39] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[31:40] Speaker 2: And then I think I still have a notepad floating
[31:42] Speaker 2: around somewhere from home because when we first started doing this,
[31:44] Speaker 2: I was doing it by hand.
[31:45] Speaker 1: Yeah, that's really cool actually. My first question is, What
[31:49] Speaker 1: did the nice man catch in their basement?
[31:52] Speaker 2: A snake? Yes. Great. I do have... I'll read something
[31:57] Speaker 2: out to you when we get to the end of trivia,
[31:58] Speaker 2: which is kind of fun. What TV show was Homer
[32:03] Speaker 2: watching during Lisa's first steps? Ooh.
[32:06] Speaker 1: Is it Knight Rider?
[32:08] Speaker 2: No. No.
[32:09] Speaker 1: Suxing Hutch?
[32:10] Speaker 2: No. Ooh. I threw out there, the plane, the plane.
[32:14] Speaker 1: Oh, it's Fantasy Island.
[32:15] Speaker 2: Okay. No, that's the seagull.
[32:17] Speaker 1: My next question is, How many flavours of ice cream does...
[32:21] Speaker 1: Is it Phineas O'Butterfats?
[32:23] Speaker 2: Phineas? Is that how you say the name? Phineas?
[32:25] Speaker 1: Yeah. Phineas O'Butterfats. It says on the sign, it's so
[32:28] Speaker 1: many flavours of ice cream.
[32:30] Speaker 2: It's a lot, by the way. It's a lot. 763. Nah,
[32:32] Speaker 2: it is 4,000. Over 4,000. Jesus. That's a lot of
[32:36] Speaker 2: flavours of ice cream.
[32:37] Speaker 1: It's 4,500, actually.
[32:38] Speaker 2: Shout out, by the way, to Messina Gelato that has
[32:40] Speaker 2: opened in Geelong on the subject of ice creams. Messina.
[32:43] Speaker 1: Messina. Messina?
[32:44] Speaker 2: Yeah. Spell it. I'm pretty sure it's M-E-D-O-N-E. I went
[32:49] Speaker 2: to Messina Gelato and I ate some ice cream. I
[32:52] Speaker 2: think it's M-E-S-S-I-N-A. There's one... I think there's one in Melbourne.
[32:55] Speaker 2: There's one in Brisbane.
[32:58] Speaker 1: It's 5,600 flavours, actually.
[32:59] Speaker 2: Yeah, shh. So I wrote 4,500 and I was like,
[33:01] Speaker 2: that doesn't seem right to me. I better double check
[33:02] Speaker 2: it out.
[33:03] Speaker 1: It's 5,600. Yeah.
[33:04] Speaker 2: If you're going to have fat, do you think butterfat
[33:06] Speaker 2: would be like both the most appetising and the least
[33:09] Speaker 2: appetising sounding thing at the same time?
[33:11] Speaker 1: What are the various fats?
[33:12] Speaker 2: Beef. Like tallow. You could have... I mean, you've just
[33:19] Speaker 2: got your dairy fats and that sort of stuff.
[33:21] Speaker 1: What's the best one for cooking eggs in?
[33:24] Speaker 2: Butter, by far. I'll probably use butter fat then. Yeah, yeah. Fuck,
[33:27] Speaker 2: I made an omelette this morning just like on a whim.
[33:30] Speaker 2: One of those classic like open the fridge and I
[33:33] Speaker 2: got half a capsicum. I've got a red onion that
[33:35] Speaker 2: I have no real use for and I've got eggs.
[33:38] Speaker 2: I've also got some ham. Just throw it all together. Yeah,
[33:40] Speaker 2: and just flawless.
[33:42] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[33:43] Speaker 2: Also, some salsa verde. Oh, yeah. He really took it
[33:47] Speaker 2: to another level. A little bit of sour cream on
[33:48] Speaker 2: the side. What's the villain called? Is it Sosa? Kaiser Sosa.
[33:54] Speaker 1: Kaiser Sosa. I was like, this reminds me of that villain.
[34:02] Speaker 2: Could have been one of his aliases. I was in
[34:06] Speaker 2: a barbershop quartet with Salsa Verde. What date did Homer
[34:13] Speaker 2: put on his check to buy the $ 500, 000 horse?
[34:16] Speaker 1: I know it was 2054.
[34:19] Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. That's a good guess. Yeah.
[34:21] Speaker 1: I don't think it was about 50 years ahead. Was
[34:25] Speaker 1: it July something?
[34:27] Speaker 2: No. What was it? January 1st. January 1st. Okay.
[34:30] Speaker 1: It's pretty obvious when you say it that way. My
[34:32] Speaker 1: next question for you is, name the five items on
[34:36] Speaker 1: the stable fees. She gives him a receipt.
[34:39] Speaker 2: Oh, shit. One of them was grooming.
[34:41] Speaker 3: Yep. Food.
[34:42] Speaker 1: Feed, yeah.
[34:43] Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. I think they were the only two that
[34:46] Speaker 2: I read, so let's have a guess. There would have
[34:48] Speaker 2: been something like bedding. Board. Board. Board. Yep. Oats.
[34:54] Speaker 1: No, that's food.
[34:55] Speaker 2: I feel like I'm playing Family Feud.
[34:57] Speaker 1: Yeah. I didn't realize how adult Family Feud has become.
[35:00] Speaker 2: Yeah, it's filthy now.
[35:01] Speaker 1: I was like, I was putting on for the kids
[35:03] Speaker 1: a little bit of a fun game show, something different.
[35:05] Speaker 1: And it was like, things you might find in a jacuzzi.
[35:10] Speaker 2: After a party. And one guy's like, a used condom, Steve.
[35:14] Speaker 1: And he's like, used condom.
[35:16] Speaker 2: Let's go upstairs. Ding.
[35:18] Speaker 1: And I'm like, it's a used condom. And I was like,
[35:20] Speaker 1: Ali's like, what's a condom? And I was like, I
[35:21] Speaker 1: think it's like a balloon. I'm just like, he's aged,
[35:24] Speaker 1: but he's like, he's still too young for me to
[35:25] Speaker 1: explain what that is. And it was like, it was
[35:28] Speaker 1: just really dirty stuff.
[35:29] Speaker 2: And I'm like, what are we doing here? Yeah.
[35:32] Speaker 1: I feel like Steve Harvey started- Things you smell that
[35:35] Speaker 1: you shouldn't. And it was like, your girlfriend's knickers. And
[35:37] Speaker 1: I'm like, what?
[35:38] Speaker 2: What the fuck's going on?
[35:42] Speaker 1: Or your ex-girlfriend's knickers or something.
[35:43] Speaker 2: Ex-girlfriend's knickers?
[35:45] Speaker 1: Now it's a crime. It's like things you smell that
[35:47] Speaker 1: you shouldn't. I was like, why would they smell knickers?
[35:50] Speaker 1: And I'm like, we're done with this show.
[35:52] Speaker 2: Jesus. I remember it used to just be euphemisms.
[35:55] Speaker 1: Not just outright. It's just flat out now. Names of
[35:58] Speaker 1: porn films.
[36:00] Speaker 2: Places to put your penis. Anyway, back to the horse. Shoes?
[36:07] Speaker 1: No, it was trainer and lessons.
[36:08] Speaker 2: They're the other two. Oh, okay. Let's just get to
[36:10] Speaker 2: the point. Not even jokes. Not even jokes at all.
[36:13] Speaker 2: Very accurate invoice for a horse adjustment.
[36:17] Speaker 1: How much was it?
[36:19] Speaker 2: $ 530 a month. Correct, yes. Lisa wanted a pony. What
[36:23] Speaker 2: did Bart want? Hmm.
[36:26] Speaker 1: That is a good question, because he says, why does
[36:28] Speaker 1: Lisa get that and I don't? Because you love me. No,
[36:31] Speaker 1: what is it?
[36:32] Speaker 2: A moped.
[36:32] Speaker 1: A moped.
[36:33] Speaker 2: Which I could see him getting around on. A little Vespa,
[36:35] Speaker 2: like Luca. Yeah, I could.
[36:38] Speaker 1: But it also doesn't really sound like something Bart would
[36:40] Speaker 1: ask for.
[36:40] Speaker 2: I want a moped. Well, it's a mode of transport.
[36:43] Speaker 2: He's not going to want a pony. Wouldn't he want
[36:45] Speaker 2: a new skateboard of some kind? You're not really cool
[36:49] Speaker 2: if you're riding a moped around, are you, in 1991?
[36:51] Speaker 2: It's not old enough for a motorbike. Moped's in the
[36:55] Speaker 2: sweet spot.
[36:56] Speaker 1: What are the ones that have the, where you stand
[36:58] Speaker 1: on them?
[36:59] Speaker 2: Not like a bike. Segway.
[37:01] Speaker 1: Segway, that's the one. I rode those once with Nicola
[37:04] Speaker 1: and I.
[37:04] Speaker 2: Never had the pleasure. Never done it.
[37:05] Speaker 1: Nicola and I did it with her sister in the Adelaide,
[37:08] Speaker 1: in the winery in Adelaide.
[37:09] Speaker 2: And her sister ate shit.
[37:12] Speaker 1: She lost control. And gone.
[37:16] Speaker 2: They do. A moped looks like a fantastic device for that. Like,
[37:23] Speaker 2: there's no brake, right? Like it's all things. So once
[37:25] Speaker 2: you lose control on that, you're fucked. There's no coming
[37:27] Speaker 2: back from losing control on a moped. Didn't the inventor
[37:30] Speaker 2: of a moped die in a moped accident, by the way?
[37:32] Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure that's the thing that happened. He went
[37:34] Speaker 2: off a cliff.
[37:34] Speaker 1: One of life's great joys, though, is seeing someone in
[37:37] Speaker 1: a situation like that, not really with a vehicle, but
[37:39] Speaker 1: I think it's when someone's about to slip and you
[37:42] Speaker 1: see them slipping and you're like, and they're trying to
[37:44] Speaker 1: stop and you know they're not going to be able to.
[37:46] Speaker 1: It's the wiggle.
[37:47] Speaker 2: Yeah. Something you can't fake as well. No one's ever...
[37:51] Speaker 2: Other than Philip Seymour Hoffman, along came Polly. Yeah. The
[37:55] Speaker 2: best man is in the house. But it's really hard
[37:58] Speaker 2: to fake a slip. Like it's just such a.
[38:01] Speaker 1: It's hard to fake the mannerisms.
[38:02] Speaker 2: Inherent thing. Yeah. Yeah. The sheer fear.
[38:06] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[38:06] Speaker 1: Or not even fear, it's just the bewilderment of what's happening.
[38:09] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[38:09] Speaker 1: Because your brain hasn't had enough time to process it.
[38:11] Speaker 2: To tie it back into... So I was carrying her
[38:14] Speaker 2: sort of up on my shoulder the other day and she...
[38:16] Speaker 2: pushed against my head and she had a moment where
[38:20] Speaker 2: like she overbalanced and I managed to catch her and
[38:22] Speaker 2: correct her. And it was one of those first moments
[38:25] Speaker 2: of a kid being old enough to realize the mortal
[38:28] Speaker 2: danger they were just in. So I was holding her
[38:30] Speaker 2: over tiles. Like she was going to hit the ground
[38:32] Speaker 2: hard if she slipped and she just laughed her ass
[38:36] Speaker 2: off because her body didn't know how else to process
[38:38] Speaker 2: the fear that she just felt in that moment. It
[38:40] Speaker 2: was one of those things. You're either going to cry
[38:42] Speaker 2: or you laugh. And we just said that. I was like,
[38:48] Speaker 2: don't tell your mum. You shit your pants. Like this close, Lex.
[38:53] Speaker 2: You were like, I don't know, 500 grams center of
[38:56] Speaker 2: gravity that way.
[38:57] Speaker 1: And you were gone. Yeah. See, Holly, yeah, about two
[39:01] Speaker 1: weeks ago at school, we always play in the playground
[39:03] Speaker 1: at the school. And she was, there's like three tiers
[39:06] Speaker 1: of like where the monkey bars are. And she was
[39:08] Speaker 1: at the top and she didn't go in the monkey bars.
[39:11] Speaker 1: I'm watching, I'm like talking to my mate. I go,
[39:12] Speaker 1: she's not going to jump in there, is she? I'm like,
[39:14] Speaker 1: she's going to jump.
[39:15] Speaker 2: And before I could say, don't do a whole, she
[39:17] Speaker 2: just jumped and she's, and she landed flat on her ass.
[39:20] Speaker 1: And I was like, why did you do that?
[39:22] Speaker 2: And she's like, I don't know.
[39:24] Speaker 1: I was like.
[39:27] Speaker 2: You're not going to do that again, are you? And
[39:28] Speaker 2: she's like, no.
[39:30] Speaker 3: No.
[39:30] Speaker 2: She was like, I don't know what came over me.
[39:33] Speaker 2: It didn't seem this high. Yeah, I get it. I've
[39:37] Speaker 2: walked over bridges and looked down and thought, what would
[39:40] Speaker 2: it feel like? Yeah. I'm an adult, so I don't
[39:42] Speaker 2: do it. I'm a relatively well-functioning adult. But yeah, like,
[39:48] Speaker 2: I get it. I understand that thing of a kid
[39:50] Speaker 2: of like, that's not that far. She's going down and
[39:55] Speaker 2: watching for a while and she hit the ground.
[39:57] Speaker 1: She was as high as the roof.
[39:59] Speaker 2: She was pretty high. Do you ever wonder why so
[40:04] Speaker 2: many structures are actually really easy to jump off? Why? No, no.
[40:08] Speaker 2: I don't have an answer to this, but have you
[40:10] Speaker 2: ever been in a hotel or- Verandas or balconies. You're
[40:14] Speaker 2: on a 30-story balcony and be like, why isn't there-
[40:18] Speaker 2: lasers and barbed wire and shit to stop me going
[40:21] Speaker 2: off this why is it waist high yeah like i
[40:25] Speaker 2: remember this is a tricky visual we're staying on um
[40:29] Speaker 2: uh hamilton island up in the with sundays and i
[40:32] Speaker 2: don't know we're 10 stories up or something like that
[40:34] Speaker 2: but there was a little courtyard balcony type thing um
[40:38] Speaker 2: just outside enough room for a couple chairs and a
[40:39] Speaker 2: table and then uh our our was in like a
[40:47] Speaker 2: corner of the building. So it was sort of like
[40:49] Speaker 2: it went left and then about a 45 degree angle out.
[40:52] Speaker 1: Just you and Ash there?
[40:54] Speaker 2: Lex was with us at the time. Okay. And.
[40:57] Speaker 1: That adds a new dimension to it.
[40:58] Speaker 2: Within arm's reach, just outside the balcony on the exterior
[41:02] Speaker 2: of the building was a concrete block that would have
[41:04] Speaker 2: been half the size of this table. Well and truly
[41:08] Speaker 2: enough size, if you were so inclined, to step over
[41:11] Speaker 2: the balcony and either stand on that block or sit
[41:14] Speaker 2: on that block. And it would have been a sheer
[41:16] Speaker 2: plummet to your death if anything went wrong. But there's
[41:20] Speaker 2: this weird fucked up part, I think, of a lot
[41:22] Speaker 2: of people's brains. And as much as I didn't act
[41:24] Speaker 2: on it, I was standing there looking at it going,
[41:27] Speaker 2: I'm kind of curious. I kind of just want to
[41:28] Speaker 2: go out there and sit on it because it would
[41:29] Speaker 2: be terrifying and I would like to feel that rush
[41:32] Speaker 2: of adrenaline. And I won't because I have a one
[41:35] Speaker 2: and a half year old sleeping behind me and that
[41:38] Speaker 2: would be death. But why the fuck am I even
[41:41] Speaker 2: allowed to make the choice? Yeah, like, take that power
[41:44] Speaker 2: out of my hands. And how don't 500,000 people a
[41:47] Speaker 2: day die by falling off of high things because of
[41:50] Speaker 2: that stupid part of our animal brain?
[41:52] Speaker 1: Well, it's like we went to one. We parked on
[41:54] Speaker 1: top of Market Square, the shopping mall here.
[41:55] Speaker 2: In Geelong, right?
[41:57] Speaker 1: And the kids can just reach through the bars that
[41:59] Speaker 1: are on top.
[42:00] Speaker 2: Like, let's look at the edge. And we get to
[42:02] Speaker 2: the edge and I was like, actually, kids, take three
[42:03] Speaker 2: steps back, please. Because Holly's like putting her head through.
[42:05] Speaker 2: And I was like, why is this possible? Yeah. Crazy
[42:10] Speaker 2: simple to kill yourself in the Welsh.
[42:11] Speaker 1: We went to Sydney for Elliot's birthday and it was,
[42:14] Speaker 1: call me crazy, right? But the door to the balcony
[42:18] Speaker 1: didn't lock. And because we had two kids there, I
[42:22] Speaker 1: could not go to bed and sleep knowing that if
[42:25] Speaker 1: they got up in the morning and opened that door,
[42:27] Speaker 1: they could go over that balcony.
[42:28] Speaker 2: You would have been out searching for some dowel rod
[42:30] Speaker 2: to put.
[42:30] Speaker 1: In the tracks. So I went out on the balcony
[42:32] Speaker 1: and anything that was on the balcony, I put in
[42:35] Speaker 1: front of the door. And in the living room, I'd
[42:38] Speaker 1: drag the couch to the other side and put it
[42:40] Speaker 1: in front of the door and just basically repeat to
[42:42] Speaker 1: the kids, do not touch that door. I couldn't sleep
[42:45] Speaker 1: that night.
[42:45] Speaker 2: Paid a clown to sit out there and terrify them
[42:47] Speaker 2: back in the room.
[42:49] Speaker 1: But do you think I'm weird? Am I crazy?
[42:52] Speaker 2: No. Once you're in that moment, I think I know
[42:55] Speaker 2: that feeling of just spiraling out of control like that.
[42:59] Speaker 2: I've done that with her. You ever have that moment
[43:01] Speaker 2: of just like, I'm an nerd from Ash. What if
[43:04] Speaker 2: she's crashed?
[43:05] Speaker 1: I did that once we were in England and Nicholas said,
[43:09] Speaker 1: I'm going for a walk with mum. We'll be back
[43:10] Speaker 1: in 20 minutes. And they got back two hours later.
[43:14] Speaker 2: Yeah, okay.
[43:15] Speaker 1: Both their phones, they turned both their- You're in.
[43:17] Speaker 2: Jack the Ripper country. You're well and truly right to
[43:19] Speaker 2: be afraid.
[43:20] Speaker 1: Turned both their phones off and they went out for
[43:22] Speaker 1: a coffee and just didn't tell us. Didn't answer their phones,
[43:26] Speaker 1: didn't anything. They just rocked up two hours later at
[43:28] Speaker 1: tea time. And they're like, what are you worried about?
[43:31] Speaker 2: We just went for a walk.
[43:32] Speaker 1: We knew we were fine.
[43:33] Speaker 2: I'm like, actually, I didn't.
[43:35] Speaker 1: Because I'm here with, I was only at it at
[43:36] Speaker 1: the time. I'm like, I'm here by myself in this house.
[43:39] Speaker 1: Your dad's at work. No one else is here. I'm
[43:41] Speaker 1: here with Ali, who's a baby. We're in another country.
[43:43] Speaker 1: I know you're from here, but you haven't been here
[43:45] Speaker 1: for 10 years. And you said you'd gone for a
[43:46] Speaker 1: walk with your mum and be back in 20. And
[43:48] Speaker 1: it's now two hours later.
[43:49] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[43:53] Speaker 1: I think.
[43:54] Speaker 2: SIDS was another one where I would get a rational
[43:57] Speaker 2: fear like that. Like when Lex was in that peak.
[44:01] Speaker 1: Rolling around.
[44:02] Speaker 2: Yeah. So like, you know what, two months to eight,
[44:05] Speaker 2: I think it's the first year is when they're at
[44:07] Speaker 2: their highest risk from memory. Um, but I would have
[44:10] Speaker 2: moments where I'd just be like, no, I can't sleep.
[44:13] Speaker 2: I'm going to just kind of go sit in a
[44:14] Speaker 2: room when she was like a tiny, tiny kid. Once
[44:17] Speaker 2: you're in that zone, you can't get out. Yeah. I'm like, fuck.
[44:20] Speaker 2: I don't know. What if tonight's, what if something happens tonight?
[44:22] Speaker 2: I gotta just, I just have to go be there.
[44:24] Speaker 2: Just sit there listening to an audio book to keep
[44:26] Speaker 2: myself awake and make sure she was breathing.
[44:29] Speaker 1: My mentality is always like, I would rather... Because I
[44:34] Speaker 1: always get the idea of the one night I don't
[44:36] Speaker 1: do it is the one night something will happen. And
[44:38] Speaker 1: even though it's not going to happen, that's how my
[44:40] Speaker 1: brain works. This is like, the one time I don't...
[44:43] Speaker 1: The one time I relax is when something bad will happen.
[44:45] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[44:45] Speaker 1: That's why I never relax. Do you ever watch the
[44:47] Speaker 1: first season of Fargo?
[44:48] Speaker 2: No. Oh, man. So... it's really, really good. But there's
[44:52] Speaker 2: a moment there where like one of the main characters,
[44:54] Speaker 2: dad is a retired sheriff. And when shit's going down,
[44:57] Speaker 2: there's this little moment where he's just like sitting on
[45:01] Speaker 2: a chair in the front of the house with a rifle.
[45:03] Speaker 2: And it's just that thing of like, I'm going to
[45:06] Speaker 2: sit here for the next 16 hours just to make sure.
[45:08] Speaker 2: And nothing comes of it. But it was a moment
[45:12] Speaker 2: that even before I'd had a kid, I was like,
[45:14] Speaker 2: that's badass. And I get that level of love. And
[45:16] Speaker 2: then since having a kid, I was like, yeah, a
[45:18] Speaker 2: hundred percent. That thing of like, when there is danger,
[45:21] Speaker 2: real or perceived, it's that thing like, all right, I
[45:24] Speaker 2: don't care. I'm doing this to make sure that things
[45:26] Speaker 2: are all right.
[45:27] Speaker 1: Yeah, because I would rather the next day go, oh,
[45:29] Speaker 1: that was a waste of time.
[45:30] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[45:31] Speaker 1: But know that they're safe.
[45:32] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[45:33] Speaker 1: Then something happening. Anyway, back to Lisa's pony show.

[45:59] Speaker 1: we need to read out now the top three films.
[46:01] Speaker 2: Oh, sorry. Oh, sorry. This is still Lisa's Pony to
[46:04] Speaker 2: a degree. Yeah. I was talking about like my original notes.
[46:07] Speaker 2: Do you remember, I don't know if you'd still be listening,
[46:10] Speaker 2: Jason DeVicentes?
[46:12] Speaker 1: Oh, what a name. I do remember that guy, yeah.
[46:14] Speaker 2: This was a mailbag contribution from whenever the hell it
[46:17] Speaker 2: was that we reviewed this.
[46:18] Speaker 1: Yeah, so you're going to be asking some mailbag questions?
[46:21] Speaker 2: No, it's not a question.
[46:22] Speaker 1: Because I've asked for some new ones.
[46:24] Speaker 2: Okay, fantastic. That'd be better. I was out in your
[46:26] Speaker 2: neck of the woods today, drove past the Ford factory.
[46:28] Speaker 2: My mate said, there's that factory they're closing. I said
[46:31] Speaker 2: to my mate, I know, that's where Dando works. He
[46:33] Speaker 2: said- Who's Dando?
[46:35] Speaker 3: That is one of my favorite emails that we were
[46:38] Speaker 3: ever sent.
[46:40] Speaker 1: It's weird, though, because when you listen to a podcast,
[46:42] Speaker 1: you feel like you know the person. And then you
[46:45] Speaker 1: assume that all of your friends do as well. Everyone
[46:48] Speaker 1: else does, yeah. Because we grew up in the generation
[46:51] Speaker 1: where everyone consumed the same shows, the same radio shows, everything, right?
[46:54] Speaker 1: And now it's just so selective.
[46:56] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[46:58] Speaker 1: I wonder if he even knows who I am anymore. Jason?
[47:01] Speaker 2: I hope so. Maybe he's still listening.
[47:04] Speaker 1: That's why I love going through the old mailbag. I'm like, oh,
[47:06] Speaker 1: these names. Like your man, Andrew Johnson.
[47:09] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[47:09] Speaker 1: He's gone, but he still talks to you.
[47:11] Speaker 2: Oh, I'll let him know that I've come back. I
[47:13] Speaker 2: might be able to bring him around.
[47:16] Speaker 1: The top three films at the US box office when
[47:17] Speaker 1: this aired. Number three, Highlander 2, The Quickening.
[47:21] Speaker 2: Jesus. Number three? Yeah. That's frightening.
[47:24] Speaker 1: Debut at number three. Number two, Curly Sue.
[47:27] Speaker 2: The fuck is Curly Sue?
[47:29] Speaker 1: Sounds like a bingo.
[47:29] Speaker 2: Number two, Curly Sue. Warner Brothers film. You don't like
[47:33] Speaker 2: Curly Sue?
[47:33] Speaker 3: No.
[47:33] Speaker 2: Isn't that the one that has Belushi in it?
[47:37] Speaker 1: Does it?
[47:38] Speaker 2: I've legitimately never heard of that movie before. Curly Sue's
[47:41] Speaker 2: not Curly Sue's Curly Sue. Yeah, but Jim Belushi, yeah. Yeah, right.
[47:45] Speaker 1: Bill and Curly Sue, a nine-year-old orphan, are partners in crime.
[47:50] Speaker 1: So Bill and Curly Sue, sorry, are partners in crime.
[47:52] Speaker 1: They scam strangers and extort money to satisfy their hunger.
[47:55] Speaker 1: Things change when they meet a woman who learns about
[47:57] Speaker 1: their livelihood.
[47:58] Speaker 2: With a young Steve Carell. Yeah. Um... It's a bit
[48:01] Speaker 2: of a discrepancy here. You got 4.6 out of 5
[48:04] Speaker 2: on Amazon and 13% on Rotten Tomatoes.
[48:06] Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the thing though. What do you trust ratings-wise
[48:09] Speaker 1: anymore online?
[48:11] Speaker 2: I still trust critics. Yeah. Like proper aggregates critics. Never
[48:16] Speaker 2: trust users. No. Heathen scum.
[48:19] Speaker 1: Drop us a five-star review on iTunes if you are
[48:22] Speaker 1: listening to that. I remember seeing this in the video
[48:24] Speaker 1: stores all the time.
[48:24] Speaker 2: They were hired.
[48:25] Speaker 1: But yeah, that's the cover I remember seeing. Her and Belushi.
[48:27] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[48:27] Speaker 1: Okay.
[48:28] Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. The regular odd couple.
[48:30] Speaker 1: John Hughes did it.
[48:31] Speaker 2: Okay.
[48:32] Speaker 1: From John Hughes, yeah.
[48:33] Speaker 2: Interesting. And then number one was another one, The People
[48:35] Speaker 2: Under the Stairs. Is that what I just saw? The
[48:36] Speaker 2: People Under the Stairs.
[48:37] Speaker 1: What is that?
[48:38] Speaker 2: It's a weird year for film or weird moment for film.
[48:41] Speaker 1: When a fool breaks into the home of his family's landlords,
[48:45] Speaker 1: he discovers that they have mutilated several boys and kept
[48:48] Speaker 1: them imprisoned under stairs. As fool attempts to flee- He
[48:51] Speaker 1: meets their daughter Alice. Can Fool and Alice escape?
[48:54] Speaker 2: This is the number one film in the box office.
[48:56] Speaker 2: Did it premiere at number one or was it there
[48:58] Speaker 2: from the day? Let's see what it is next week.
[49:00] Speaker 2: When are we talking November? 91. That's a horror movie, right?
[49:04] Speaker 2: So that's number one by virtue of the fact that
[49:06] Speaker 2: they've just come off Halloween. Halloween, yeah.
[49:09] Speaker 1: This is a shit ton of films. The Butcher's Wife,
[49:12] Speaker 1: The Fisher King, Frankie and Johnny, Other People's Money, House
[49:15] Speaker 1: Party 2, Little Man Tate, Billy Bathgate. There's no classics.
[49:21] Speaker 1: Not many classics there, is there?
[49:22] Speaker 2: Billy Bathgate? Is that a Dustin Hoffman movie?
[49:24] Speaker 1: 1935, a teen named Billy Bathgate finds first love while
[49:26] Speaker 1: becoming the protege of fledgling gangster Dutch Schultz. Billy Bathgate.
[49:30] Speaker 2: Let's have a look quickly.
[49:31] Speaker 1: Billy Bathgate.
[49:32] Speaker 2: I feel like maybe I'm thinking of something else. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[49:36] Speaker 2: Soon after becoming the protege of gangster... Dutch Billy Bathgate
[49:39] Speaker 2: finds himself trapped in a world of danger and death. 2.936%
[49:42] Speaker 2: Rotten Tomatoes.
[49:45] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[49:46] Speaker 2: That's a shame about Dustin Hoffman. He's a really good
[49:48] Speaker 2: actor that's got some really bad movies.
[49:49] Speaker 1: I don't really hear much about him anymore.
[49:51] Speaker 2: He's very old. He's just doing his thing. He's actually
[49:53] Speaker 2: in something. I watched a trailer for this the other
[49:57] Speaker 2: day where I think he's helping someone crack safes. Okay. Yeah.
[50:06] Speaker 2: It's as much as I got for you.
[50:07] Speaker 1: By the way, for those playing at home, he is
[50:09] Speaker 1: Sam Eddick, not Dustin Hoffman.
[50:11] Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. But it was one of those things
[50:12] Speaker 2: where I was like, oh, look at that. He's still
[50:14] Speaker 2: doing stuff.
[50:14] Speaker 1: Yeah, good for him. But yeah, they were the top
[50:17] Speaker 1: three films at the US box office. So this episode
[50:19] Speaker 1: originally aired November 7th, 1991. It says here Frank Welker
[50:24] Speaker 1: was the voice of Princess the Pony. He does the
[50:26] Speaker 1: voice of many animated animals. He's also the voice of
[50:29] Speaker 1: Fred in Scooby-Doo. Okay. He's the voice of Megatron in Transformers.
[50:34] Speaker 2: Okay. Yeah. He is an icon in the voice acting world. Gotcha. Yeah.
[50:38] Speaker 1: The chalkboard game, Bart Bucks, a not legal tender couch game.
[50:41] Speaker 1: Homer gets on the couch first and lies down. The
[50:43] Speaker 1: rest of the family arrive and sit on him and
[50:44] Speaker 1: Homer flails his arms around.
[50:46] Speaker 2: That's always a fun game. That's always fun.
[50:48] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[50:48] Speaker 1: Written by Al Jean and Mike Reese and directed by
[50:50] Speaker 1: Carlos Beza.
[50:52] Speaker 2: Beza? Beza? B-A-E-Z-A? I say Beza. B-A-E-Z-A. Yeah, I'll go
[50:57] Speaker 2: with Beza. That's Beza. All right.
[50:58] Speaker 1: So it kicks off with one of these things where
[51:00] Speaker 1: I feel like they've just done it because they had
[51:02] Speaker 1: an idea and they're like, let's just cram it into
[51:03] Speaker 1: an episode somewhere. It's The Dawn of Man.
[51:05] Speaker 2: Yep. 2001 parody. This was another thing where, again, I
[51:08] Speaker 2: was straight away, I was like, oh, yeah, right. When
[51:09] Speaker 2: they just had the full suite of classic cinema to parody.
[51:13] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[51:14] Speaker 2: And clearly these guys love 2001. They parody it a lot.
[51:18] Speaker 2: I've never been the hugest fan of 2001. Look, I-
[51:21] Speaker 2: I can appreciate it, but- I was going to say,
[51:23] Speaker 2: I think it is for the most part, unless you are,
[51:26] Speaker 2: you know, Criterion Collection sort of guy, 2001 is a
[51:31] Speaker 2: movie to appreciate more so than to enjoy.
[51:33] Speaker 1: But it cuts to Homer when the monkey's asleep. It's
[51:36] Speaker 1: a monkey, right? It's just a monkey. A monkey's asleep.
[51:40] Speaker 2: For people that haven't seen 2001, and I imagine there
[51:43] Speaker 2: would be some out here, the whole concept that they're
[51:45] Speaker 2: parodying here is that this monolith appears and that represents
[51:49] Speaker 2: the dawn of man, but it's this thing that inspires
[51:53] Speaker 2: the generation to take the next leap.
[51:55] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[51:56] Speaker 2: But in this, Homer invents being lazy. Yes. And it's
[51:59] Speaker 2: a very funny cut from that to him sleeping at
[52:01] Speaker 2: the table.
[52:01] Speaker 1: Sleeping at work in 1991.
[52:04] Speaker 2: And that's Mitch. Sorry. Can we introduce a new segment
[52:07] Speaker 2: of Mitch Splaining?
[52:09] Speaker 1: Mitch Splaining.
[52:12] Speaker 2: Maybe I can't change my name just yet. You reckon
[52:15] Speaker 2: Mitch Splaining is what you're going to stay with?
[52:16] Speaker 1: Mitch Splaining?
[52:17] Speaker 2: I don't think it's going to stay a segment.
[52:19] Speaker 1: It's already over. It never was a segment. It never
[52:23] Speaker 1: has been. It never was. We talked about the Mighty
[52:25] Speaker 1: Ducks today on our South Park podcast because the whole
[52:28] Speaker 1: episode was called Stanley's Cup.
[52:29] Speaker 2: Oh, man, that's an episode and a half.
[52:34] Speaker 1: Those poor kids just get slaughtered.
[52:36] Speaker 2: It's so good. And apparently fans... Stan Marsh is bumming
[52:41] Speaker 2: on cancer. Sorry. To be a coach, you have to grow.
[52:51] Speaker 1: He's about to realize.
[52:53] Speaker 2: The first time I ever watched that is one of
[52:58] Speaker 2: the hardest, like, cry laughs I've ever had for just
[53:01] Speaker 2: how evil it was to the kids. Well, that's the thing.
[53:03] Speaker 1: It's dead.
[53:04] Speaker 2: Just like. What?
[53:06] Speaker 1: So many fans apparently don't like it. And Trey and
[53:08] Speaker 1: Matt are like, no, no, it's a happy ending. Just
[53:10] Speaker 1: not for the people you want to be happy for.
[53:11] Speaker 3: Yeah, it's so funny for that.
[53:13] Speaker 2: Is it the Red Wings from memory? Yeah. Detroit Red Wings.
[53:15] Speaker 1: Actually just beating the shit out of the kids.
[53:17] Speaker 2: Yeah, but like still plays We're the Champions.
[53:20] Speaker 1: Yeah, it's Mighty Ducks ending.
[53:22] Speaker 2: I'm sure one of the Red Wings. I love your dad.
[53:24] Speaker 2: I'm proud of you, son.
[53:28] Speaker 1: Which is Gordon Bombay in Hearts. You've got Charlie's mum
[53:33] Speaker 1: in there and everything.
[53:35] Speaker 2: It's just such a funny flip of that sports movie cliche. Yeah. Like, no, sorry, man.
[53:40] Speaker 2: You were just rooting for the wrong team.
[53:42] Speaker 1: Because I was like, I'm watching it going, well, how
[53:44] Speaker 1: are they going to win this?
[53:45] Speaker 2: Oh, they don't. Oh, they won't. And the kid dies
[53:49] Speaker 2: of cancer. No hope. I think South Park are the
[53:56] Speaker 2: absolute best at doing that, like, real gut punch. And one,
[54:00] Speaker 2: I think they've done this joke once or twice, but
[54:02] Speaker 2: the one where Kenny dies. Like the episode's called The
[54:06] Speaker 2: One Where Kenny Dies. Oh, where he's dying.
[54:07] Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[54:09] Speaker 2: And Stan can't deal with it and he can't bring
[54:12] Speaker 2: himself to see him. Then he finally works up the
[54:13] Speaker 2: courage and he gets there and Kenny's gone. And Kyle's like,
[54:17] Speaker 2: he just stopped breathing, dude. He's like, did he say
[54:19] Speaker 2: anything before he died? He just said, where's Stan? Those
[54:29] Speaker 2: guys are so good at just sticking a knife in
[54:31] Speaker 2: between the ribs.
[54:33] Speaker 1: The one before it, though, wasn't that great. It was Go, God, Go,
[54:37] Speaker 1: which is where Cartman wants to get the Nintendo Wii,
[54:39] Speaker 1: so he freezes himself and goes to the future. It
[54:41] Speaker 1: just becomes very convoluted and shippy. Yeah, Stanley's Cup, I
[54:43] Speaker 1: was like, this is what I love about South Park.
[54:45] Speaker 1: But yeah, so that's why I had the Mighty Ducks
[54:47] Speaker 1: in my mind. But then Lisa then calls Homer from
[54:49] Speaker 1: the talent show, and she says her sax is broken.
[54:52] Speaker 1: She needs a new reed, four and a half reed.
[54:54] Speaker 1: She's already called Marge Flanders, Patty and Selma, Lovejoy, and
[54:57] Speaker 1: the nice man who caught the snake in the basement.
[54:58] Speaker 1: And Homer's like, you know. And then you thought of me.
[55:01] Speaker 1: But the idea of knowing that you're not the go-to
[55:04] Speaker 1: for something is a very humbling thing. But it's also
[55:07] Speaker 1: maturing is knowing that, well, I'm just not the guy
[55:10] Speaker 1: for the job. Like, for example, I know that if
[55:12] Speaker 1: you want something built in this house, you ain't coming
[55:14] Speaker 1: to me.
[55:14] Speaker 2: Yeah, okay.
[55:15] Speaker 1: If you want someone who's good at... Go to Elliot.
[55:16] Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. Go to the man.
[55:18] Speaker 1: You want someone who's good at trivia? Tell you about
[55:20] Speaker 1: what movie was released in 1997? Yeah. I'm your man.
[55:22] Speaker 1: You want a floating shelf put up?
[55:24] Speaker 2: Don't ask me. Yeah, you need a flat pack? I'm
[55:26] Speaker 2: going to do a flat pack for you.
[55:28] Speaker 1: I'm going to open the box for it.
[55:29] Speaker 2: Although, I was putting together a barbecue stand the other day.
[55:33] Speaker 2: A pizza oven stand. It was... four legs, and I
[55:38] Speaker 2: put three of those four legs on backwards. And I
[55:41] Speaker 2: was flying through. I was like, man, this is so quick.
[55:44] Speaker 2: And then I got to the next bit. I was like, oh, shit.
[55:46] Speaker 1: Yeah. Damn. Probably not the most humbling, but one of
[55:50] Speaker 1: the most humbling experiences of my marriage so far is
[55:53] Speaker 1: Nicola's like, I really want to get this TV cabinet built.
[55:55] Speaker 1: I'm sick of sitting here. So I'm like, you go
[55:57] Speaker 1: to bed. I'll have it built when you get up.
[55:59] Speaker 1: And I just couldn't do it. And I wrote a
[56:01] Speaker 1: note on the thing saying, they're missing some pieces. It's
[56:03] Speaker 1: not right. The instructions don't work.
[56:05] Speaker 2: Nicola woke up. At 5 p.m. the next night, going,
[56:08] Speaker 2: what's all this chloroform in the room for? So, Nicola's like,
[56:12] Speaker 2: I go to bed.
[56:13] Speaker 1: It's half built. The instructions don't work. I'll take it
[56:16] Speaker 1: back tomorrow.
[56:16] Speaker 2: Don't worry about it.
[56:17] Speaker 1: I've left it.
[56:17] Speaker 2: I'll pull it apart tomorrow when I wake up. I
[56:19] Speaker 2: get up.
[56:20] Speaker 1: Nicola's gone for a 5K run, cooked herself breakfast, and
[56:23] Speaker 1: it's built. She's like, there was nothing wrong with it.
[56:25] Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, I was looking at the
[56:28] Speaker 1: wrong thing.
[56:29] Speaker 2: Oh, that's screwed. She's like, yeah, it was really easy.
[56:33] Speaker 2: It took like 15 minutes. And I was like, I
[56:34] Speaker 2: was here for two hours.
[56:37] Speaker 1: So, she got up. She's like, I had a gym session,
[56:40] Speaker 1: fucking cooked breakfast.
[56:41] Speaker 2: She's starting work.
[56:42] Speaker 1: And it's just built. I came into the kitchen. It
[56:44] Speaker 1: was built. And I didn't say anything at first.
[56:46] Speaker 2: And I was like, oh, shit. It's one of those
[56:50] Speaker 2: moments where you're like, if either of us has an
[56:55] Speaker 2: affair in this relationship, it's not going to be mean.
[57:00] Speaker 2: Like- I'm the loser out of the couple. I hope
[57:04] Speaker 2: you continue to love me forever.
[57:05] Speaker 1: Who plays Ron Swanson? What's his name? Nick Offerman. Nick Offerman.
[57:10] Speaker 1: He got interviewed at the Emmys or whatever recently. And
[57:13] Speaker 1: they're like, what's it like being married to Megan Mullally?
[57:15] Speaker 1: And he's like, basically, I wake up every day and
[57:18] Speaker 1: I see her laying next to me and I think,
[57:20] Speaker 1: what can I do today to not fuck this up?
[57:22] Speaker 2: Yep. Solid.
[57:25] Speaker 1: And that is my life.
[57:26] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[57:28] Speaker 1: But then she gives over the details. Lisa does. It's
[57:31] Speaker 1: a four and a half read. He writes it on
[57:32] Speaker 1: his shoe like Andy does in Toy Story.
[57:35] Speaker 2: And then.
[57:35] Speaker 1: Sorry. It's just very funny.
[57:39] Speaker 2: It is. It's just very funny. Permanent ink tip.
[57:48] Speaker 1: See, they're the little jokes in Toy Story that I
[57:50] Speaker 1: never appreciated as a kid. My favorite gag, I think,
[57:53] Speaker 1: in all of Toy Story is... Got to go all
[57:55] Speaker 1: the way around the horn. It's the only way when
[57:56] Speaker 1: he's doing the channels. I'm like, you kids don't get that.
[58:00] Speaker 2: But it was true.
[58:01] Speaker 1: You had to go all the way around the horn.
[58:02] Speaker 2: It's faster. You've gone past halfway. Just keep going. Ham's
[58:10] Speaker 2: the MVP. Oh, he is. And Mr. Potato Head, I reckon.
[58:13] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[58:14] Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, Rickles is fantastic. He's just been Rickles, yeah.
[58:18] Speaker 2: He's such a heel. Yeah.
[58:20] Speaker 1: He's a monster.
[58:20] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[58:21] Speaker 2: Murderer! You might have been done. String him up by
[58:27] Speaker 2: his pull string. Nobody takes my wife's mouth but me.
[58:30] Speaker 1: Anyway, so Skinner's now introducing the talent show and he
[58:36] Speaker 1: says the doors are now locked and those in the
[58:38] Speaker 1: first five rows will get wet and Homer arrives at
[58:42] Speaker 1: King Toot's, is it a musical store?
[58:44] Speaker 2: Yeah, King Toot's Musical Store. King Toot's, yeah.
[58:47] Speaker 1: At 6.55, closes at 7pm. He's got plenty of time
[58:48] Speaker 1: to go have a beer at Moe's first, so he
[58:50] Speaker 1: goes to do that. And he's making Mo hurry up. Sorry, Homer.
[58:53] Speaker 1: You know, if you tip the class, you won't be
[58:55] Speaker 1: so much fun. Sorry, Homer.
[58:56] Speaker 2: Sorry, Homer.
[58:57] Speaker 1: Kim is now balancing chairs from the cafeteria. And this
[59:00] Speaker 1: is Lunch Lady Doris' first appearance in The Simpsons, apparently.
[59:04] Speaker 2: Oh, really?
[59:04] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[59:05] Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
[59:06] Speaker 1: And Bleeding Gums Murphy's just a random judge in this
[59:08] Speaker 1: as well. Yeah.
[59:09] Speaker 2: I'm really enjoying the comic style i love that.
[59:16] Speaker 1: Classic but then homer's finished his beer with 15 seconds
[59:19] Speaker 1: spare but then we see so is his.

[59:33] Speaker 1: is closed early I am that moron then we see
[59:35] Speaker 1: Milhouse doing the spoons it's gonna get terrible just.
[59:38] Speaker 2: Terrible oh the best year yet this is sorry another
[59:42] Speaker 2: thing by the way that the writers back then like
[59:47] Speaker 2: I reckon maybe season 4 they really stepped this up
[59:50] Speaker 2: but there's so few wasted lines everything's either a joke
[59:53] Speaker 2: or it's setting up a joke It's all... There's no puffing. No.
[1:00:00] Speaker 2: The only parts that are not, when we get a
[1:00:01] Speaker 2: little bit later, will be paying off the story. Yeah.
[1:00:05] Speaker 1: But they also have to be there.
[1:00:06] Speaker 2: It's so fucking lean. Yeah. The script is really good.
[1:00:10] Speaker 2: And now, here's Bart Simpson, the boy of a thousand voices.
[1:00:16] Speaker 2: I'd like to open with my impression of Principal Skinner. Oh,

[1:00:28] Speaker 2: became the boy of a thousand days detention. Hey, it's
