0:34

to forfeit his can't wear this way. We have

0:36

0:38

the battery of the Western Bulldogs an Australian Rules

0:41

football. It was a hell of a good time.

0:43

It was in data very good time. He's dando

0:45

on guy you knew that there are but the

0:47

as we were joined by Live Up Jezebel but

0:49

Tom Laboratory not the live off the nineties liberal

0:52

of the what we call these liberal than twenty

0:54

two of the of the twenty twenties between Honey

0:56

to maintain definitely help with reason why when he's

0:58

in he's that these limits my son generation and

1:00

his dad was live at. My generation is and

1:03

what's my generation of to. Do. Than one

1:05

hundred. But basically

1:07

Tom the had invented football's that the Tom the

1:09

his known to Simpsons fan particular shy of course

1:12

because we follow the rules that he has the

1:14

Simpsons tattoos and he is a lot more than

1:16

I realized because I thought he offer yoga but

1:18

some someone somewhere but he's got the the iconic

1:20

one ever knows about his the you also Grazie

1:23

playing on that easy as he talks about in

1:25

the podcast why you got the oh you're so

1:27

Grazie Tatters bees got squeaky voice teen on one

1:29

am and I'm on the other arm and together

1:31

they are money For said that's not all because

1:33

year mean. As Dennis said, we were surprised

1:36

that he we knew we had to make

1:38

buddies good. A lot of Simpsons and can

1:40

end for fans of Talk and Seinfeld. He

1:42

also has a very special secret at are

1:45

they able to hear about ah when we

1:47

folding L Laboratory content into this episode but

1:49

yours are getting a lot of denim. God

1:51

this are love that you say live Tory

1:54

by the way when I go what he

1:56

said The Tory it's a detour a little

1:58

Ray. But

2:02

no, it was a fantastic guest to have. We

2:05

very much enjoyed talking to him not just

2:08

about a lot of the dance but also about

2:11

various other things going on in his life

2:13

from football to post football. Being

2:15

Dad and being a son of a

2:17

footballer as well. So I

2:20

had briefly something to talk about. But

2:23

basically he said he's going to get a new tattoo

2:25

and we gave him suggestions. I'm interested to see whether

2:27

he actually takes on our suggestions. That would be pretty

2:29

cool. That's

2:31

coming up in just a few moments. The way this

2:33

episode is going to be going down is we chat

2:35

about the episode and just about his career and his

2:37

love of The Simpsons. And then following that you're going

2:39

to hear Guy and I go full in depth with

2:42

the group because he was limited with time, limited because

2:44

he's got his training, the footy season starts next week.

2:47

Even though when we caught up with him he was

2:49

long on a hotel bed eating fruit. Which

2:52

is, you know, you've got to do that. You've got to

2:55

keep your blood sugars up. Yes, exactly right. So thank you

2:57

guys for tuning into this week's show. If you guys support

2:59

us on Patreon if you want to get early and ad-free

3:01

access to the show you can

3:03

get already now my chat with the

3:05

one and only Michael Hamflip from What

3:07

Culture Wrestling. We reviewed the

3:09

episode The Old Man and The Least because that

3:11

is the only episode of The Simpsons that we

3:13

are aware of that includes an actual professional wrestler.

3:15

And the little tidbit here, Brett the

3:17

Hitman Hart. Do you know Brett the Hitman Hart? I'm aware

3:20

of him. Yes, okay. See, he

3:22

was on the episode right? And it's weird because you're watching

3:24

this like you can tell it's Brett

3:26

Hart but he's not really being Brett Hart

3:28

and we realised, we found out with our research

3:30

that he was brought in just to be generic

3:32

wrestler A and then they realised, oh this

3:34

guy's actually famous. It's like he's

3:36

the WWF champion. We should maybe use this?

3:40

So that's why Brett Hart wasn't being Brett Hart-ish but

3:42

he still looked like Brett Hart in the episode because

3:44

I went back and reanimated him and everything like that.

3:46

But this is, of course, we're talking about Lada the

3:48

Dance today with Tom Libatore. That's going to be coming

3:50

up right now and after that Guy and I will

3:53

be doing our full in-depth research. Stay tuned for that

3:55

as well. Thank you for your support and enjoy our

3:57

chat with Tom Libatore. As

4:05

you join us, you are, as we just described off

4:07

air, laying in bed eating an apple, very hard pre-season

4:09

training at the Bulldogs this year it seems. Yeah, definitely.

4:11

I can't remember which episode it is but I'm trying

4:13

to think of when someone's getting fed fruit

4:15

in the chair. Is that? Fed fruit

4:17

in the chair. Are you thinking of the

4:19

robot from Futurama? Nah, someone's getting,

4:21

one of them is getting fed grapes. Homocles

4:24

is getting fed, isn't he? Homocles

4:26

maybe. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I feel like

4:28

Homocles. Yeah, yeah, all good. All going well. Maybe

4:30

two weeks to go and we're done. Yeah,

4:33

almost finished, thank God. Yeah,

4:35

sort of. to do

4:37

that. Yeah,

4:41

I think it's a challenge. I think it's a challenge. I

4:43

think it's a challenge. I think it's a challenge. I think

4:45

it's a challenge. I think it's a challenge. is

4:48

a challenge. When I show my kids now I feel like

4:50

I've failed as a father because they want to watch the

5:15

new ones and not the old ones because it looks shinier and

5:17

new in HD. I go no the

5:19

old ones that's what you got to be watching. Correct,

5:21

correct. How old are they? Oh my kids

5:23

five and the other one three. Ah okay, yes. Um,

5:25

I still not good enough. I both should know. Not

5:27

at all. Six years ago. But

5:31

now for our overseas listeners who may not be aware Tom

5:33

here is one of the stars of the AFL as you

5:35

mentioned plays for the Western Bulldogs. He was part of the

5:37

2016 Premiership team. However,

5:39

his father is also one of the most iconic

5:41

Bulldogs players of all time. Much like my man Guy

5:43

here, he's father with the one and only legendary

5:45

Bobby Davis. So you got that in common? Yeah. Yeah.

5:49

Unfortunately that is where our pal's diverged on because he became a

5:51

champion footballer and I'm here talking about this incident the next of

5:53

the skype. That's alright, that's alright. It

5:56

was just, you know, it was just vape

5:58

walks. You never know. I

6:00

might have a very late innings comeback and start

6:02

my AFL career at the age of 54. Yep,

6:05

as always, Paul. Paul's

6:07

the udly was about 60 or something. That's

6:12

right. Now, not only are

6:14

you a great footballer, obviously, but many Simpsons

6:16

fans know you as the footballer who has

6:18

the iconic Homer squeaky voice team. Oh

6:21

my God, your greasy tattoos. We might as well kick off

6:23

with those. When did you get them? Where did you get

6:25

them? Whose idea was it? Tell us all about it. And

6:28

was it the first tattoo you ever got? No, no, it was

6:30

very late in the piece. I think I got the start of

6:32

2019. I got my

6:34

first tattoo, which is a portrait

6:37

of Kramer from Simonfeld, or more

6:39

at left bum cheek, which no

6:41

one ever knows. So,

6:44

except for my close loved ones. Yes,

6:47

the right people. Of course, yeah. No,

6:49

can't make any crew jokes. I forgot

6:51

that one maybe when I was like

6:54

21, like 2013, 14. I

6:59

think I saw a photo of Kussie Berger Simble and I

7:01

don't know his name. He's

7:09

just called Squeaky Voice Teen. I think they have named him, but

7:11

he's just known to most fans as Squeaky Voice Teen. Yeah, right.

7:14

So, yeah. Mr. Simpson, what are you doing?

7:17

Yeah, that's pretty good. Sort

7:20

of then mixed in because I'm Italian,

7:22

we sort of go, we go, Grigio

7:25

as well. Then I'll

7:28

just sort of get it over on the other

7:30

arm. A matching set? Yeah. Yeah,

7:32

I've got them staying time. And that's just

7:34

one of my sort of favourite episodes because

7:36

I sort of take the piss out of

7:38

Italian people, which is funny. Paul

7:40

Luigi at the end. Terrible. Yeah,

7:42

that's what I was just going to say. Yeah,

7:45

I just watched when he rocks up and they're all

7:47

caught up with grace when he brings peace. Yeah.

7:51

11:53

11:55

11:57

lot when I Really clever professor. There's

12:00

no one who, I don't know, everyone's too tired

12:02

as well these days. Like, they're not going, but

12:05

I mean, Swarney gave me a little bit early

12:07

on, like just around me old

12:09

man and stuff like that, but yeah, I did get

12:11

the standard shit tattoos of all that

12:13

stuff. Can we talk a

12:15

bit about the the liberatory dynasty? Tell

12:17

us a bit about any motivation, any

12:20

drive that your father sort of gave

12:22

you when you're growing up both physically

12:24

and maybe mentally, in terms

12:26

of you wanting to play footy. Was there

12:28

pressure on from you or from anyone even

12:30

outside the family? No, not

12:32

inside us. I think the reason

12:34

why I pursued it so heavily and how

12:36

much I enjoyed training and stuff

12:39

like that, because he was extremely hands off. He

12:42

didn't push me at all. We just had fun all the

12:44

time. He always encouraged me to

12:46

play and he played with me eight times growing

12:48

up, but yeah, it wasn't like stay at the

12:50

back and do 100 touches and you can't eat

12:52

dinner sort of thing. Yeah,

12:55

it wasn't that regard or all

12:57

that. I'll

13:00

have a brother and mom pushing me pretty hard. I was

13:02

going to be older because I was getting good at it,

13:04

but no, that's a bit crazy. We

13:06

just sort of keep back and just let me enjoy

13:08

it. I remember your dad being, every opposition support his

13:11

favorite Bulldogs player at the time. Like

13:13

Dougie Hawkins and Tony Libertorre, like Libertad. He was always a

13:15

favorite. And I always remember the memory of watching you guys

13:17

win the flag and they kept cutting to him in the

13:19

crowd. It

13:21

was great to see him getting to sort of be a

13:23

part of it as well. Yeah, for sure. That

13:26

whole point obviously is I remember watching,

13:28

we rewatched the games and seeing his

13:30

head on TV and he's, I think it just

13:33

when he went fully bald too. So it

13:35

was like a bulging light in the crowd that he

13:38

couldn't avoid it. But

13:40

no, that was great. Yeah, it was cool to have

13:42

him in the rooms and watch the game as well.

13:44

That must have been a real dumb or whammy back

13:46

in 2016 as well, both winning the premiership with your

13:49

old man looking on, but also breaking what a six

13:51

decade drought. Yeah, yeah, that was crazy. Yeah,

13:53

pretty special, especially for the supporters in suburb and

13:55

that kind of stuff. There was, I think there

13:57

was footage of Main Street, which was sort of

13:59

cutting. Fair

14:02

Hotel was shut off, it was just packed

14:04

with people just crowd surfing and stuff like

14:06

that. Let's talk about the pubs that you

14:08

own. Did you own those when you won

14:10

the flag or was it after that? Nah,

14:12

no, it was well after that. Do

14:15

you still get a free palmy if you mention your name there?

14:17

Yeah, but I struggle these days, I've had so many head knocks,

14:19

I forget my own name. But

14:24

with Light of the Dance, what are your favourite

14:26

memories of this episode? Obviously you got the tattoo,

14:28

so you said it's one of your favourites. What

14:30

are the stand out moments for you? I don't

14:32

know if you remember how old you guys are,

14:34

they were just books off, like kids books, but

14:37

they had the episodes in those books. I've got

14:39

them right next to me here, you had the

14:41

episode guys, how good were they? Yeah, that

14:43

was pretty much why, that picture of him as

14:45

his eyes popping out, so that sort

14:47

of started the whole fascination with it all.

14:50

But yeah, when he's talking

14:52

shit about that he's from North Kiltown and

14:55

he tries to put it

14:57

back on wheelie and goes, there's no English in

14:59

Kiltown. It's just one

15:01

of my favourite Homer B plots, just the

15:03

whole, of course with Greece, you think

15:06

you're going to be financially independent, why

15:08

am I investing in you?

15:10

What is it as opposed to savings and wise

15:13

investments? When he gets beaten up by the Greece

15:15

boys, they take the shovel off him as well,

15:17

he says, that's more shovels like that, we run

15:19

the shovel right away. You

15:23

were a similar age, you and I, did you when

15:25

growing up, obviously 6pm weeknight and things like that, but

15:27

did you collect the Simpsons Tarzos that you used to

15:29

get in the packets and all that kind of shit,

15:31

or were you just a fan of watching it? Nah,

15:33

I was more the, oh yeah,

15:35

briefly, but I think I was more

15:37

the more the others. Was

15:39

there stickers too? Yeah, there was stickers, everything mate,

15:42

it was the Simpsons. Yeah, that's true, I don't

15:44

have a question, call you up. Nah,

15:47

I was either watching the Simpsons or out of the backyard

15:49

playing for you. Do you remember when you stopped watching it,

15:51

was it about season 10? That seems to

15:53

be the cut off for most people. I

15:55

stopped watching it, I was always nervous, I

15:57

was upstairs, my brother had the upstairs. part

16:00

because he was the oldest and he had

16:02

all the cool stuff. He was going there,

16:04

we were watching the 300th episode. That's only

16:06

a whole episode. And after that I was like that's

16:09

rubbish. Might have been a bit after that.

16:11

It was around that time I started going

16:13

a bit downhill for me. I think that

16:15

was, was that over 13 maybe? No that

16:18

would have been about 13, 14

16:20

I reckon this year, about then. Did you ever see The

16:22

Simpsons movie though when it came out?

16:24

Yeah, me and my best mate.

16:27

We had a countdown because of MSN Messenger

16:29

back then. Gotta love it. Glory days. After

16:32

school. Trying to find a girlfriend. Yep. But

16:35

we had a countdown on our MSN

16:37

Messenger for I think a year, 365

16:39

days. Now we? Yeah, we

16:41

got to the, got to the final out

16:43

of the dance and it was, yeah it

16:45

wasn't great. I remember just walking out going,

16:47

I guess I liked it because it was

16:49

The Simpsons but I don't think it was

16:51

that good. Yeah, I felt all empty inside

16:54

or half, well. My

16:56

childhood's officially over. Tom I'd like to ask

16:58

about writing if I could. You've got a

17:00

bit of a stint studying creative writing at

17:03

RMIT according to Wikipedia which never lies

17:05

to us. But reading a bit about your

17:07

background in there, it's like look at someone who spent

17:09

their 20s reading Fear and Loathing

17:11

in Las Vegas and Naked Lunch and

17:14

watching Barf Life, it's like oh, yep. It

17:16

scans, this sounds like the kind of stuff that you're

17:18

into when you're in your 20s. I mean are you

17:20

still writing at all or are you still sort of

17:22

got a bit of an interest in it or? Yeah,

17:26

definitely. I'll just sort of do it

17:28

personally just for my own mental health

17:30

these days. Cool. So I've

17:32

got a journal most mornings, most nights sort of

17:34

thing. But then also sort of write my own,

17:36

I just like writing short stories or short

17:39

little average poems but yeah nothing special

17:41

to be honest. But yeah, I just

17:43

enjoy writing for my own sort of

17:45

well-being which is great and reading

17:47

as well. So I did do

17:49

the course that I wanted for

17:52

that. Oh, maybe three years I

17:54

think and I just couldn't keep

17:56

up with the clientele and the

17:58

latest stuff. How many... When you used to

18:00

you think you've got left like you'd be what at least another three or

18:02

four you reckon? Yeah,

18:06

I was thinking of the don't name

18:08

the same and he's like I remember

18:10

what I told you about the entire

18:12

episode but nah I don't know maybe

18:14

like I've got this year signed up

18:16

but probably two, I'm thinking two to

18:18

three. And

18:22

then post footy you've got is it social work

18:24

you want to get into right? Yeah, so I'm

18:27

just about to start a deployment

18:29

in Uclift in the next few

18:31

weeks. Hopefully time it

18:33

for a proper job. What

18:40

sort of form would that take? That kind of social work?

18:42

I mean what do you see yourself, how do you see

18:44

yourself doing it? How do you see yourself executing it? Besides

18:46

just showing some episodes to the kids all day. Yeah, I

18:48

was going to ask for an exam by Samuel

18:51

Paladino. Just remember don't do what Donny Don't does,

18:53

that's all you have to say. Yeah,

18:55

I'd love to go on your camping trip son. Nah,

18:58

so I've been doing a bit of placement

19:00

here and there through the footy club so

19:03

there's a community foundation through the dogs so

19:05

they do a lot of work in the

19:07

western suburbs area out in the

19:09

mountains sort of thing. We travel to youth or god

19:11

resty and that kind of stuff so I've done placements

19:13

through there over the last year or two so I'll

19:15

probably just go through them. Before we

19:17

let you go, obviously we're here to talk about Loud at the

19:19

Dance. This one was a Lisa episode and when I was growing up,

19:21

I hate Lisa episodes, I thought they

19:24

were boring, we should just shut up. But the older I

19:26

got, the more I appreciated them, I realised I was more

19:28

like Lisa than I actually realised. Do you find

19:30

that when you watch those episodes when you're older or do you still just

19:32

not like them? Because no one liked them

19:35

when they were a kid. Nah, I watched it again last

19:37

night and I was like, I sort of understand, I do

19:39

know what you mean but yeah, nah, I still find it

19:41

a bit hard to taste. Tom's like, this is

19:43

a home-roverside, I don't know what you were talking about. Yeah

19:48

there was a thing when she was talking to

19:50

Alex, I don't know. Yeah, Lucy Kudrow, yeah Alex, yeah.

19:52

Oh it is Lucy Kudrow, yeah, yeah. Yeah, she's like,

19:54

I don't even just want to play, be like kids

19:56

and you know, we can't. I sort

19:59

of, I appreciate it. that, which is that we

20:01

can't just not bathe for three days or whatever

20:03

and that kind of stuff. So

20:05

I can definitely emphasise that sort of thing. I found

20:07

I watched the show a bit differently now, now being

20:10

a parent. I just seem to

20:12

appreciate the kid moments, the parenting moments a lot

20:14

more. Do you find that now when you watch

20:16

episodes like Maggie Makes Three with the Do It

20:18

For Her and that kind of stuff, do you

20:20

find now being a dad that that hits you

20:22

harder? Yeah, I don't think I've watched it enough

20:24

since I've had me. He's almost forced. Yeah. Maybe

20:28

I'll put it down to do

20:30

this. Yes, it's hard

20:32

to catch up with the episodes now. Obviously when

20:34

you've got kids that are just fucking always running

20:36

around. But yeah, it's just I

20:38

rarely watch The Simpsons unless I'm doing it for

20:41

the reviews now. It's weird. I

20:43

used to watch it so much. When I was a kid it

20:45

was like three, four times a day and now I just never

20:47

watch it. Yeah, I'm pretty similar I think. I

20:49

didn't mind when we played night games, we pretty

20:51

much got the whole day to do fuck all.

20:55

I've got, I don't have to be able to get up at nine, I

20:57

have to be at the ground until 5pm or whatever. Oh

20:59

really? That's good. Yeah, I started

21:01

slowly like giving away back at Simpsons.

21:04

So I was just because nothing to do really.

21:06

You can't go out and exercise or have a

21:09

few beers. So I've got to just kick back and

21:12

find something. That might be the project

21:14

and we can reconvene in 12 months. Yes, let's do that.

21:16

Yeah, do you, have you watched any of the new episodes?

21:18

I want to hear your thoughts next time on the new

21:20

episodes of The Simpsons. Fine

21:22

work, I'll do that. Tom, if there's any

21:24

space left on your body, would you get

21:26

one more Simpsons tattoo and if so, what

21:28

would it be? Very

21:31

good question. There's a tattoo pile next

21:33

door to our hotel at the moment.

21:35

I walked in yesterday and I

21:37

was keen to walk in this afternoon. So

21:40

maybe if you suggest something, can you give

21:42

us maybe, you know, what I'm doing.

21:45

Give us three suggestions. You

21:47

wouldn't dare get Die Bart, Die in the Chest, would you? Maybe

21:50

in German. Yeah. Angry

21:53

Dead? I'd be angry. That's post-Hithy

21:55

era though. That's like season 13 and 14. Who's

21:58

your favourite? character though is it

22:00

you more like the side characters you got a mota

22:03

do you emote what about flaming mole or something yeah

22:05

I was thinking about mo yeah but I was gonna

22:07

apply it to something out of all

22:09

of mine getting auto yeah that'd be a good

22:11

one bowl of flaming

22:13

cereal I think that'd be good yeah the

22:15

bowl of flaming cereal that's a good one mr. burns

22:18

is a X-12 character oh yes and see if they

22:20

can make it glow in the dark as well yeah

22:23

it's actually nice like next to black and white

22:25

ones but yeah there you go we've already got

22:27

a good one I look

22:30

forward to watching you play footy and see what kind of you got we're

22:32

gonna get done so I can look out for it look for maybe like

22:35

on here on the fire on the fire

22:37

alright we'll do that do

22:39

it on Instagram live for us yes alright well

22:41

we do appreciate your time Tom yeah that's right

22:43

thanks Tom and we'll have you some time in the in the

22:46

future where we talk about some new episodes alright I'll try and

22:48

get my young fella on Thursday let's do it sounds good mate

22:50

alright talk to you soon thank you all the best with our

22:52

season 2024 thank you enjoy have

22:54

a good year go cats what

23:03

an absolute legend mr. Davis mr. liberatory is

23:05

good liberator

23:08

a yes yeah absolutely I'm really excited to see what

23:10

I tattoo again I hope he gets one

23:12

last suggestion that'd be so cool and it wouldn't be me wouldn't

23:14

it I think we gave him we'd throw in a few good

23:16

ones your bowl of cereal on fire is a good one I

23:18

think cuz he's got the the rag on a stick but it's

23:20

just the rag on a stick it's not but it's just the

23:23

rag yeah he's not he's not going he's

23:25

going with some deep cut yeah you'd have to sort

23:27

of take one two three what oh okay then yeah

23:29

yeah maybe the linear the box of special K that'd

23:31

be another one but he seems like he's pretty keen

23:33

on the mr. Burns as an alien that would be

23:35

a good one and if I

23:37

don't know about tattoo technology um whether you could

23:39

make it so it actually does sort of glow

23:41

that's something you do surely I'm sure it would

23:43

be quite toxic and poisonous well

23:45

I'm going to my episode are you ready yet? I'm

23:48

ready to do it but also worth it worth it

23:50

indeed all right let's talk about Lada the dance so

23:52

mr. Davis what were your thoughts on the episode because

23:54

uh you know liber was saying that he didn't like

23:56

the Lisa aspect of this although you can appreciate certain

23:58

elements but I thought overall

24:01

that there's a really good message here. When you're a

24:03

kid, Be kids. Yeah, let kids be kids,

24:05

but if you are a kid, enjoy being a kid as well.

24:07

I say this to Ali all the time, mate, he's

24:10

always like, I'm gonna grow up, you don't wanna grow up.

24:12

Growing up's great, but enjoy this time.

24:14

It's a tough one to hear when

24:16

you're a kid because you're getting this

24:18

advice from growing up, so like, what

24:21

do you know about being a kid? Or what do you know about being

24:23

young? Do you even remember? Yeah,

24:26

we're just like, oh no, you've gotta really

24:28

relish this moment of being carefree

24:31

and able to do

24:33

anything with, of course there are gonna be

24:35

consequences, but just have fun. Don't

24:38

be in such a hurry to grow up, but yeah, certainly

24:41

when you're a kid and certainly when you're,

24:43

I mean, Lisa's not quite there, but you're

24:46

approaching the on-ramp to adolescence. It's like, let's

24:48

hurry this up, shall we? Being

24:50

an adult looks kinda cool. Yeah. But

24:52

no, you really do wanna say to yourself,

24:54

oh, really, just relish this time. You just

24:57

revel in it. So yeah, look, you're

24:59

right in it being a really

25:01

important and valid message. It's funny,

25:03

I think, when we were chatting with Tom, I

25:06

sort of jokingly said, calling this a Lisa

25:08

episode, it's a Homer episode. It really

25:10

sort of split right down the middle and right down

25:12

to the title as well. Yeah, that's true, yeah.

25:14

Well, what a B-plot though. One of the most

25:16

iconic schemes of all time, right? I

25:19

think the I thing puts it over. Everyone remembers

25:21

the I scene. That freaked me out when I

25:23

was a kid. I had forgotten that that was

25:25

kinda like the payoff and I was actually just

25:27

giggling when his face is right in the middle

25:29

of the suction hose. I'm like, that's pretty funny.

25:31

And then it pulls out and it's got this

25:34

awful, distended bloodshot eye. That's marvelous. Yeah, no, it's

25:36

a really good plot. I mean, a really good

25:38

B-plot, you're right. And a really good plot by

25:40

Homer just to, as always, get rich

25:42

quick. Apparently it really happened. One

25:44

of the writers of the episode, Jace Richdale,

25:46

who was a former producer and writer, he

25:48

read in a magazine that someone got caught

25:50

stealing grease to try and profit. So

25:53

this really happened. And I think they're the best

25:55

schemes where it's like they take something that happened

25:57

in real life, but they symptomise it and make

25:59

it ridiculous. I love the acne

26:01

grease. Oh yeah, later acne grease and

26:03

shovel. Yeah, what a tale that is.

26:05

That's really good. But I mean yeah,

26:08

like I said, Tom's like, oh yeah, I

26:11

just love him doing these get rich quick

26:13

schemes. You know, Marge is offering up ideas

26:15

that are only slightly less

26:17

ridiculous. Also American friends, please learn how

26:19

to pronounce Emu. Yeah. It's

26:22

right up there with Caribbean and

26:24

aluminum. Caramel. Caramel. And caramel. Oh

26:26

my god. Caramel's all set you

26:28

off. It's triggering. It's

26:30

so triggering. Caramel is not Guy's safe word.

26:35

Um, yeah, but for home owners, oh,

26:38

how am I supposed to bring you to

26:40

rich saving and wise investments? It's like, oh

26:42

no. It's the delivery. Oh, through savings and

26:44

wise investments. Of course with grease. It's so

26:47

awesome. You step back and you realise, oh

26:49

god, it's actually just that simple. Of

26:51

course with grease. I

26:54

must admit, uh, I want to

26:56

sort of go on about Guy's keto

26:59

diet journey all that much, but cooking break

27:01

bacon, especially for the grease, that's the keto

27:03

life in a nutshell, because you know, you're

27:05

told in all the cookbooks, like cook stuff

27:07

in bacon grease. It's

27:10

good. Really? Six

27:12

different cookbooks. I'll tell you six different things. Okay.

27:14

Um, I look at the bacon grease, I can't

27:16

eat pork anymore, but I look at it and

27:18

I'm just like, yuck. You know,

27:20

when you leave the pan and it

27:22

just dries up, or you're like thickens,

27:24

you're like, oh my. Oh yeah, it's

27:26

legitimately greasy. Yeah. And look, one

27:28

day my heart is going to explode during

27:31

my daily walk, but up until then, you'd

27:33

be rich. That's correct. Well, I'm

27:35

leaving the lovely Louise all my grease in my will.

27:39

What did you think of Lisa Kudrow? I thought she did

27:41

a great job with Ellie. She was really good. She

27:43

sounded like Lisa Kudrow, but like a kid at Lisa Kudrow.

27:45

It was really weird how I love the ones where you

27:47

can sort of tell it somebody, but you can't quite

27:49

tell who it is. I've always been of a mind that

27:52

all the Friends cast is great and all

27:54

the Friends cast is great together. It's a

27:57

legitimately good ensemble of people who work and

27:59

spark up each other. So well. We've

28:01

only had two on the show. She's the only one that had

28:03

an actual proper role and then Matthew Perry did that. Could I

28:05

be any more of a house? That's right. That's the only two.

28:07

But it's weird to have the other ones didn't come onto the

28:09

show. That's true, yeah. But I mean I always thought that Lisa

28:11

Goodrow was probably the best actor in the

28:13

show. Actress, yeah, yeah. They're all charismatic. They're all really

28:15

entertaining. I think David Schwimmer's a lot better actor than

28:17

he's given credit for. I think a lot of people

28:20

sort of go, oh he's Russ and he sucks. Whereas

28:23

like, no I think he's actually pretty

28:25

good. There was a lovely tribute

28:27

the other day from Tom Selleck who of course

28:29

appeared on Friends as Richard. A porn

28:31

man. I love how they all

28:35

just melted

28:37

around Tom Selleck. Just thought, oh my god

28:39

this is the platonic ideal of a man.

28:41

But he was saying they were all

28:43

great but Perry was the best of the bunch. And

28:45

now that we review it for the podcast, Nicole and

28:47

I, I watch it and I go, he's just a

28:50

level above. Like I said, I mean, not long after

28:52

he knows it, he was just like a Swiss watch

28:54

or just like a machine built in a lab to

28:56

do sitcom comedy. Oh 100%. And

28:58

then there's certain moments where you go, oh he was like the start of the

29:00

scene and then you read, and he improvised. That

29:03

wasn't even in the script, he just did it on the

29:05

spot and he's like, he made the scene iconic even though

29:07

it wasn't in the script. Yeah, but enough of it. I

29:09

mean, enough about Friends. Enough about Friends. Well, it's his friends

29:11

related though. Well that's true but I did want to say

29:14

as well. Over at Louisiana, I was sort of flicking between

29:16

channels and Foxxed out to get to the

29:18

news and had a little

29:20

time to kill it. And the show Blue Bloods was

29:22

on? Do you know Blue Bloods? I do not know.

29:25

Sounds like a Blue Heelers kind of show. Well it's

29:27

Cops. Yeah. Is it reality though?

29:29

No, no, no. It's a scripted drama.

29:32

And Tom Selleck plays like the patriarch of

29:34

this family. Cops, old show or modern show?

29:36

Modern show. Oh wow. Tom

29:39

Selleck is nearly 80. He's like 78 years old. But I'm looking

29:41

at him and just going, I remember you as Magnum dude, when

29:43

did you, you know Wilford

29:45

Brimley as well? He looks like Wilford Brimley

29:47

now, really? He's like, when did Tom Selleck become Wilford

29:49

Brimley? Because he's got a big sort of bushy mustache,

29:51

he looks a little heavier and a bit jowly and

29:53

it's kind of like, well we're going to start talking

29:55

about diabetes. It's like, oh

29:57

man, Father Tom's coming for us all.

30:00

It sucks! But Lisa

30:02

Kudrow in this, yeah just

30:04

really really good. I mean you're right, I mean

30:06

that whole, I hadn't really considered how, yeah

30:09

it's undeniably and identifiably Lisa

30:11

Kudrow. She's got a very distinctive

30:14

voice and delivery style but also, yeah she's

30:16

playing as like a kid but also, not

30:18

a grown up kid but a kid who's

30:20

a little bit more advanced than the first

30:23

kid to have the cell phone though. That's what I liked

30:25

about Alex was that she came across a bit pompous but

30:27

also endearing because you can tell she's not actually pompous, she's

30:29

just a kid trying to act smarter and older than what

30:32

she is and by the end of it Lisa, no it

30:34

doesn't break her down but she makes her realise, oh shut

30:36

up and just have fun. She's like oh yeah actually yeah

30:38

okay. Well that's the thing, I mean do they say where

30:40

Alex came from and they come from back east or

30:43

something like that? They may have yeah. She's probably

30:45

from some big city or whatever where they

30:47

do move a little bit faster and all the

30:50

kids have mobile phones and cool handbags and spray

30:52

themselves with a bit of Calvin Cline. What's

30:55

the, I didn't do trivia or favourite moments for

30:57

this one but what was the start of a P,

30:59

pretension? Pretension, yeah. Pretension

31:02

by Calvin Cline. Well did

31:04

you have any favourite moments? I didn't take them for this

31:06

one because we'll talk about them later. Let's see. Mine

31:09

was just the one that we already discussed. Of course of course.

31:14

And really just like freshening up in

31:16

the kitchen and just my retirement greas,

31:18

it's so absurd this story. My

31:21

retirement greas. Oh my grief. I

31:23

like that you saw Nelson sort of being this

31:25

Huckleberry aficionado. I've never eaten a Huckleberry in my

31:27

life, I wonder what they taste like. No, I'll

31:29

just say Huckleberry Hand. It's

31:32

Huckleberry Hand isn't it? Actually yeah. Because he's

31:34

on The Simpsons and behind the laughter he's

31:37

like, ah we're so gay. Remember that? Behind

31:40

the laughter? We always thought it was Snagglepuss, it

31:42

was super gay but it had to be Huckleberry

31:44

Hand. Just some really good side

31:46

gags and one-liners. I like back to

31:48

scoliosis. I thought

31:50

that was pretty good. That's quite irrelevant because

31:52

Elliot starts school next Monday. Oh my god.

31:55

Yeah. It's weird now because

31:58

when I was a kid you just had to go back to

32:00

school. to school go do some shopping for some pencils and things

32:02

like that maybe because he's prepping I know but they sent him

32:04

home like a pack it's got all the textures and all the

32:06

glue sticks and all the pencils but then they said to us

32:09

I don't agree tell me if I'm wrong right tell me if

32:11

I'm weird they said don't write his name on it because all

32:13

the stuff gets shared in the classroom so no one I was

32:15

like I think every kid should have their own shit oh

32:18

yeah so I don't write their names on the cooking notes

32:20

other kids because they might leave it at school then another

32:22

that'll become another kids and they'll just take each other's ones

32:24

home and I'm like or we could

32:26

just fucking give them things and teach them to look after

32:29

this shit because I was just cuz you know things go

32:31

missing and the kids get upset and I was like well

32:33

that's part of school yeah that's

32:37

part of resilience kids learn kids lose shit

32:39

this is just something

32:41

that happens in life we eventually lose our minds

32:43

but yeah it's also a good lesson in

32:48

like keep an eye on your stuff you know if if

32:50

your mate needs a pencil lend it to them

32:52

yeah I said to Nicole tiny person like that

32:54

personalized that the readers and the folder like that

32:57

was some of the fun of school of personalizing

32:59

all your shit they don't let her personalize things

33:01

anymore you know you'd get you you'd get your

33:03

pencils and you'd shave a little bit off the

33:05

end of it and write debish yeah I love

33:07

doing it yeah and no can't personalize anything anymore

33:09

I said to Nicola I give it a week

33:11

this sounds downright communist yeah I give it a

33:13

week and he'll be personalizing everything I put a

33:16

look I don't thoroughly dislike the idea because look

33:18

encouraging sharing is a good thing yeah and encouraging

33:20

sort of but the idea of sharing is this

33:22

is mine but I'll let you use it yeah

33:24

that's sharing not oh you can have it because

33:26

we're all using the same thing yeah look I

33:29

understand that schools are probably under resource these days

33:31

but I think you should maybe have a bunch

33:33

of shit put aside as either like that's

33:35

the communal pencil box if you've lost your pencil go

33:38

get one from there and we had that when I

33:40

went to school you know yeah well go

33:42

to the lost and found I don't know I just thought the

33:44

um buying the the uh the pens

33:46

and stuff and I was like oh I missed doing it

33:48

because I sent him home with a pack and I this

33:50

is everything you're gonna need this year don't personalize it I

33:52

was like you can't tell me what to do yeah no

33:54

I love personalizing and I also I just

33:56

love getting because you wrote your name on Louise didn't

33:59

you I certainly did property up with a tent

34:01

with a tent. I thought it was a

34:03

branding iron. They're not a cult leader for

34:05

this sex. But

34:08

now I still like, oh, New Year! You know when

34:10

you get the readers, like the folders, and you get

34:12

the wrapping, and you sort of like stick it over?

34:14

I was like, what are we going to have this

34:16

year? Like foiled and so special? So

34:19

yeah, that was a favourite thing. I

34:22

just homemade Pepsi for some reason. That reminded me of

34:24

my childhood because I'm just like, that was us. Everything

34:26

was home made. I was like, it's a little thick

34:28

but the price is right. When

34:30

I was a kid I was like, ehh, but now

34:32

look at it, I'm like, I see the logic, you're

34:34

saving money. Well true, yeah. We all need to save

34:37

money these days. Although I did try LA ice cola

34:39

once and I was like, ehh, I can see why

34:41

it's cheap. That's correct. Well,

34:43

that's why the answer is nothing like the real thing, baby. Yeah,

34:49

I think that was some of my favourite

34:51

bits and pieces. Let's just get into our

34:53

review, shall we? Oh, I had trivia questions

34:55

with that. I'll ask you one trivia question.

34:57

Pick your best one. Okay. How do you

34:59

pronounce libertore? Mumpo.

35:05

What month was the calendar at

35:07

the recycling plant? I'm

35:10

going to say, they start, so there's some as they went

35:12

down, so they start, I want to say September? No.

35:16

If you're normally talking about a playboy playmate, you

35:18

say Miss What? What's the first one that comes

35:20

to mind when you say it? I

35:22

don't know. Miss November? It's Miss March. I

35:24

don't know. For some reason, I always think

35:27

it's Miss March. I never, what? So

35:29

the schools start, does that have summer break? Yeah.

35:33

Were they coming back to school? I thought the school time started

35:35

in, well here's a

35:37

nit-wicking pick. Maybe they're not coming back from summer

35:40

holidays, it's just like the... No,

35:42

because it feels like start of the school year. It

35:45

does, doesn't it? Yeah. Maybe

35:47

Miss March was just so hot that they

35:49

were like, forget it. We don't need

35:51

to know what date it is. He's living in the

35:53

past. Correct, yeah. And I just did that review of

35:55

the old man, Alisa, and there's the guy, he'd be

35:57

there, and he says, you're living in the past, man.

36:00

Alright, let's get into a review of the episode. So

36:02

it originally aired August 23rd 1998 written by Jane O'Brien

36:04

and directed

36:07

by Dominica Polsino. The episode kicks off with

36:09

Homer and Lisa at the try and save with

36:11

Marge and Bart and the gathering school supplies.

36:14

Lisa just wants various types of paper She's in heaven

36:16

right now and Barge just wants shit that he can

36:18

use to cause mayhem with. As would I be. I'm

36:20

sorry, I'm a sucker. Not when you were ten. Not

36:22

when you were eight, so. I was a

36:25

big fan of like exercise books. Yeah,

36:27

okay. Yeah, it's like oh, that's a good

36:29

one. Yeah, how long did it take before you gave up?

36:31

You always try to keep it really tidy and then go

36:34

to a point where you're like you fucked up a line

36:36

You're like ah, mess things up now can draw scribbles in

36:38

the cover and things like that. Yeah, it didn't take long

36:41

although as I've gotten older and I know a

36:43

lot of writers and quite-unquote creative types who are

36:46

like this you buy a notebook or it's like

36:48

oh I'm gonna do some great journaling in this

36:50

and you're like great journaling. You get five pages

36:52

in it's like Oh, my thoughts are

36:54

so boring. I found that really interesting with Tom

36:56

saying that he's creative writing is now his own

36:58

personal diary Yeah, good on it. I'm like I'm

37:01

not gonna ask any more questions. It seems quite

37:03

personal, but like that's cool. Absolutely Yeah, yeah journaling

37:05

and morning pages and all that kind of stuff

37:07

It's good for your mental health one thing I've

37:09

never done is keep a diary and I kind of wish

37:11

I did You know because what sort of

37:13

a record of like the kids life growing up like this the

37:15

kids did this today would be nice look Back and go I

37:17

remember when that happened because when you're a

37:19

dad mate getting no sleep You honestly said you say to

37:22

me now what do you yesterday? I'd have to think that's

37:24

how bad my shots and memories are now What'd you do

37:32

Actually can't remember what day what was yesterday? Was

37:34

37:37

37:41

37:44

But yes, that's right. I've got in school supplies

37:46

38:09

I like school. Me too. We have so much in

38:11

38:17

you don't like it, it's gone Do

38:23

you want this? No You've

38:25

just given me a very vivid flashback and just you know, I

38:28

love it when the corpsman was just a pure out of nowhere

38:30

Oh, yeah, the the week or the fortnight

38:32

leading up the new school year This

38:34

is a very old-school kind of thing to talk about but

38:37

I feel you had a crush on well certainly

38:39

But you'd see them outside of yeah, it's like

38:41

we're both shopping for school shoes I

38:43

mean cuz back in July before you we had the

38:45

big department store Maya. It's the same now, mate Yes,

38:48

it's the school shoes from the same place Oh You're

38:52

getting shoes, so well, what a coinkie dink. Yeah, but you can't

38:57

What do you say six? But

39:01

there was that thing where I Can't

39:03

really remember actually talking to them. But like you're right. You

39:06

sort of we'd be just thinking in your head We're

39:08

gonna fall in love. It's gonna happen. This

39:10

is the year I really was a

39:12

girl at primary school and it was Jade and

39:14

I loved her and then one of

39:17

my best friends started going Girlfriend I was

39:19

like Yeah,

39:24

but you know you or you sort of

39:26

like should I approach them now was like you sort

39:28

of feel more grown-up If you're not seeing them in

39:30

school, yeah Who

39:34

is this man you talk about

39:37

last week Embarrassing

39:42

history but yeah,

39:44

mr. Milhouser makes a fool of himself here and And

39:48

Homer is now the cookie mutt. I've always liked the

39:50

idea of the quickie might having its own stuff like

39:52

the cookie dog Yeah, not just the

39:54

hot dog. It's a cookie dog that is branding everything so

39:56

you get these regular homies But the bubble gums to go

39:58

the cookie dog and six success magazine. I'm

40:00

really gagged at the moment. Oh well I mean

40:02

he's... Oh I guess he's sort of planting the

40:04

idea of he wants to become a... what's his

40:06

further himself? Yeah, so success magazine. He's

40:09

cleared out the machine so now the quick

40:11

dogs don't taste any good because they

40:14

haven't been soaking in their prudient grease. Oh I

40:16

can taste his hugginess. Oh I

40:18

can taste his hugginess. Yes. So I was going

40:20

to ask this to Tom obviously but we didn't

40:22

get around to it. What's your idea of a

40:24

perfect greasy meal? Oh it's usually fried chicken. Fried

40:26

chicken? Yeah. I'm probably a fried

40:28

chicken burger. It's going to have chips on the side with

40:30

chicken so a bit of aioli to dip them in.

40:33

Eh, not so much about dipping the chips. You

40:36

know dipping chips? Oh sometimes I do.

40:38

My go-to fried chicken meal is from the

40:40

Hot Chicken Project here in Geelong. You love

40:42

your tenders. Friend of the pod. Where did

40:44

they get? We

40:46

mention them so often. We do? And

40:48

always complimentary. Yeah. Because they

40:50

do great chicken. I've never had chicken from there ever. It's

40:53

pretty good. It's quite good. Maybe we can do a taste

40:55

test on the podcast and say alright guys hit us up

40:58

with some free chicken and I'll talk about how much I

41:00

love it on the show. Alright well once I've dropped

41:02

10 kilos and not afraid of... How

41:05

much do you want to lose? 15

41:07

kilos? How much? You lost 5 already? About

41:09

that. Cool. Yeah.

41:12

You know me. I can't weigh myself. It's

41:14

just my mental. I'm not weighing myself frequently. I've

41:16

just got the barometer shirt. I know myself. If I

41:18

went and waved myself right now I'd be obsessed

41:20

with my weight for the next six months. Believe

41:23

me man. It is what it is.

41:26

No it would be... Yeah. Three

41:28

fried chicken tendies. Medium

41:31

to regular hot. Fries on the side. And

41:34

they give you a nice slice of white bread and some

41:36

pickles. I can spice them up for you as well. They

41:38

can spice them up. They can spice them up. You can

41:40

go... I think they've got so damn hot. As long as

41:43

they're the hottest. I always love the idea of the Ring

41:45

Stinger Pizza from Pieces of Attitude. What a name. I

41:47

know right. Reminds me of my

41:49

name because my nanny used to always get the

41:51

Ring Stinger Pizza with extra jalapenos. So she liked

41:54

things really really hot. hot. The

42:00

ring stingers reminds me of Nan. What a lady!

42:02

Yes! Hahaha! Uhh,

42:04

yeah so, yeah that's my favourite greasy meal and

42:07

you're going for chicken burgers. I'm gonna go with

42:09

like... If we're going for fast food places, it's

42:11

a double tender burger from KFC with some chips

42:13

on the side and some tenders as well. Well

42:16

listen, I mean, getting a fresh

42:18

Macca's burger. And I mean I know they

42:20

say, oh we make them fresh. Umm, all that but, you

42:23

know those occasions when you get one and it's

42:25

like, oh man you are fresh off the grill.

42:27

Yeah. And you can... The buns warm still. Yeah,

42:29

literally holding it and it's like, ooh you're so

42:31

greasy. But my idea is like a perfect greasy

42:33

meal. My favourite is a chicken souvlaki. Ooh, an

42:35

extra chicken. And a garlic

42:37

sauce. What sauce do you have on yours souvlaki? Uhh,

42:40

chilli and garlic. Chilli and garlic, okay. Yeah, so

42:42

I'm not much of a spice man but garlic's

42:44

my go-to. I used to love fish and chips

42:46

on a Sunday night after a weekend of drinking.

42:48

Mmm, yeah. Fish and chips. Ugh, you can't

42:50

even think of it. I've had chips this year yet. I've

42:53

gone off thick fried stuff. I

42:55

miss it. I miss those chips. See

42:57

we've been making chips. I finally learnt how to use the

43:00

air fryer. And I'm like, this is

43:03

great, it's healthy. It's not quite... It's deep fried

43:05

chips. No, no. And look, I'll admit it and

43:07

look in the name of full disclosure,

43:09

I'm down, sort of dropping keto and saying, oh I'm trying

43:11

to lose weight on that. I did have fish and chips

43:13

on Sunday. Oh yeah, it was good. It was good actually.

43:15

But at the same time it's like, this is so good

43:17

that I'm like, I've got to have this all the time.

43:20

It's like, you're allowed one cheat meal a

43:22

month. Yeah, that's the way it works mate. You're

43:24

going to treat yourself sometimes. Yes indeed.

43:27

Did you enjoy it though? I did. Yeah. The thing is

43:29

though, when you've gone off for so long, you've built up

43:31

on your mind, I can't wait for this. I'm treating myself

43:33

as never quite as good as you remember. It's just like,

43:36

I don't know, but yeah, I really want chips.

43:39

It's my dad's birthday today, so happy birthday to my dad. And I was like,

43:41

do you want to have a takeaway? I'll shout and he was like, nah,

43:44

I'm going out with your mum. I'm like, fair

43:46

enough. Fuck

43:48

you son. Well

43:50

that's what he wrote. I tried to... Oh, that's enough for him.

43:53

Anyway, so yeah, the episode. He's at the quickie

43:55

mark. He's got the greasy foods, but then Homer

43:57

thinks he's going to be rich because he's... arteries

44:00

are filled with unclogged with grease and

44:02

then he starts cooking bacon just to get the grease as you

44:04

mentioning earlier he's made the dog all sick I love it looks

44:06

like he's ready for another squeeze and... Oh

44:10

Ma, that side of bacon was

44:12

for my bridge game tonight. Marge

44:15

if you don't mind I'm a

44:17

little busy right now achieving financial

44:19

independence. With cans of grease? No,

44:21

through savings and wise investments. Of

44:23

course with grease. Come on Bart,

44:25

the bus is here. Where

44:29

do you think you're going? It's the first day of school.

44:31

Not for you it isn't. You're in the grease

44:33

business now. I did kind of feel sorry

44:36

for Bart on this episode though. Bart's already going to school? Yeah it

44:38

is right. It's the start of the year because it's the first day

44:40

of school. You're going to miss the first day of school. That's what

44:42

he says here. I thought they started school in September. Did

44:44

they not? I think so. Because we started at

44:46

the beginning. We started at the start of the

44:49

year because we end our summer holidays. Yeah. Who

44:51

knows? Who knows? Doesn't matter. Bart's

44:53

a bit sad he's going to miss out on going to

44:55

school which is weird. But he's

44:57

in the grease business now. We're now at the school. And

45:00

they're all talking about their summer vacation. That was one of

45:02

the drags of going back to school.

45:04

It's like, do I do anything interesting enough? Everyone's

45:07

like, I said I'm going to play video games.

45:09

I got sunburned. This is

45:11

where Lisa is asked. Skinner

45:13

wants a volunteer for a thankless chore. Lisa didn't

45:15

want to put her hand up and it's to

45:17

guide the new student Alex around the school. It

45:19

says a line here which I liked. Don't

45:21

be such a Phoebe. That

45:24

was straight over my head. Yeah, but there's

45:26

a nice little reference there. By the way,

45:28

Alex Whitney, very intimidating name. Very cool girl

45:30

name. Mike Whitney, not

45:32

as intimidating. Absolutely not. No. Unless he was walking up

45:34

to you saying, I mean, I always wish to be

45:36

on Who Deswins. Whenever I used to go to town,

45:38

I'd be like, one day he's going to be there

45:40

offering me 50 bucks. I'd put my head to a

45:42

bucket of white fish guts. Did you ever watch Who

45:45

Deswins? I'm aware of it and I think

45:47

I may have watched one or two episodes. And your Vanessa was

45:49

on it, I thought. She was, yeah, yeah. Mike

45:51

Whitney, he was a cricketer, right? He was cricketer. And

45:54

also the judge or the referee for gladiators

45:56

in the 90s. Gladiators, are you ready? Do

45:58

you realize there's new gladiators on? I think

46:00

it sort of came and went pretty quickly. Yeah, I don't

46:02

think anyone was there with that interview. I was like, well,

46:04

Vulcan's not on it, so I ain't watching. True. It

46:07

was a good Netflix doco about the American gladiator.

46:09

I've watched it, yeah, it looks awesome though. It's

46:11

really good. Aren't they like roided up and just

46:13

like fucking everyone? Pretty much, yeah, yeah. But there's

46:16

a bit of the end involving, you gotta spoil

46:18

something again. No, no, I'm just gonna say, there's

46:21

a bit of the end involving a contestant when

46:23

they're all like, oh, where are they now? Or,

46:25

you know, what happened post-gladiators? And he sort of

46:27

drops his line that literally made my jaw drop.

46:30

I'm like, what? You said what? So, yeah.

46:33

And what, with who? In where? But

46:38

Lisa here, she's into kid stuff, and

46:40

dolls and playing Jackson. She's

46:42

a kid though, that's why she's into kid stuff. Although,

46:44

it's kind of odd that it's like Lisa is usually

46:46

the one that's more mature than the other kids. Yeah.

46:49

And suddenly she has friends at school. Like she takes

46:51

her friends away. When is Lisa ever hanging out with

46:53

the kids? Well, yeah, with Sherry and Terry, yeah. It's

46:56

also a little bit of a disconnect that she's

46:58

sort of talking about these very childish things, but

47:00

almost in a kind of an adult fashion. It's

47:02

like, well, you're gonna wanna kick yourself a

47:05

good doll. All this kind of business. Like,

47:07

I get where you're coming from, and that's the joke.

47:10

But at the same time, it's like, yeah,

47:12

if I was being talked to like

47:14

this by another sort of eight year old, I'd be like,

47:16

what's your fucking story? Do you

47:18

think it's a case of Lisa, she's, I

47:21

don't know, like she's got elements of Alex

47:23

in her where she tries to act older

47:25

than what she actually is. Yes. But

47:27

she still wants to be like the smartest kid as

47:30

opposed to a young adult. This is a, I don't

47:32

know if it's even that fine a distinction, but the

47:34

things I'm drawing my head is that Lisa is grown

47:36

up, Alex is mature. That's how

47:38

they're presenting anyway. Yeah, I mean,

47:40

Lisa presents like an adult and Alex presents like someone

47:42

who's 15 or 16. I do

47:45

like the trophy case ruse as well. Yeah.

47:47

And that's for cleaning. Oh,

47:49

great. But she takes her to the cafeteria and she's

47:51

like, can you guys sit with us? She's a little

47:53

weird, but just give her a chance. And she immediately

47:55

wins them over with her cell phone. Everything,

47:57

doesn't she? Pan bag. Oh,

48:00

tins. Which one's the evil one? I

48:03

felt very Lisa Kudra. It did indeed, didn't it? Yeah.

48:06

So, Alex, will you just a sec? Hello?

48:12

Oh, yeah, like I'd be seen with a Discover card.

48:16

You have a cell phone and a purse? That's

48:20

it. Don't be shy. Now maybe a little joke

48:22

to break the ice. Or

48:27

a big joke. Careful

48:30

now. Nobody likes to show off.

48:34

Where are they going? Hey,

48:36

wait up! They

48:39

left without me. Oh,

48:42

Lisa. I've got an extra seat.

48:46

And you've got an extra lunch. Catch

48:49

my drift. Milhouse,

48:51

lower those eyebrows. And

48:54

the other one. I don't know what he's

48:56

supposed to say. It's nice that

48:58

Lisa's looking out for her, but it also felt kind of

49:00

patronizing. I did, didn't it? Yeah, so it

49:03

almost puts you offside a little bit. Everyone

49:05

she says, she's a little weird, but just give her a chance. It's

49:07

like, you know better than her. But Milhouse

49:09

tries to swoop in. Lower those eyebrows. And

49:12

the other one. That's not one of those

49:14

iconic moments that I forgot which episode it was in. And

49:16

Lisa's sad here. We come back for a commercial. Lisa's telling

49:18

the family that they ditched her at school. Marzia,

49:21

Jess, they want you to do a surprise party. Or

49:23

maybe they're planning a surprise party for you. She

49:26

drinks iced tea. Did you have a moment in

49:28

your life where you didn't like somebody and they

49:30

do something, which isn't that bad? But you just

49:32

didn't, it made you dislike them even more. Even

49:34

though it's not even that big of a deal.

49:36

Like this one here. She drinks iced

49:38

tea, which is sort of a big deal, but

49:40

because she didn't like her, it sort of makes

49:43

it seem worse than what it is. Yeah, I

49:45

know what you're talking about and I'm sure it's

49:47

happened. I'm struggling to think of specific instances. There's

49:49

people I maybe work with. And

49:51

they're like, I like him. And I'm like, how

49:53

can you like him? And

49:55

usually because they've said, they'll mispronounce libertore

49:58

or something. Or

50:02

emus. It's just the little things that

50:04

really get under your skin and then

50:07

really burrow under your skin. It's like, oh god, it's

50:09

so harmless, but it's like now it's

50:11

on a chalkboard. Homer says you need to copy

50:13

her in every way. Always great with life advice.

50:15

What would Alex say? And Alex arrives

50:18

with the friends the next day. She apologizes. She tries

50:20

to give her some earrings, but they're for pierced ears.

50:22

And Lisa is just not ready for pierced ears. Maybe

50:24

you can put them on your doll. I was like,

50:26

oh, that's a bad one. Oh, catty. And

50:30

I'm sure you'll be ready someday. We're just going

50:32

to ask Lisa to run the Apple pick. Alex

50:34

has a different idea. She wants to do the

50:36

score dance, which Lisa obviously eventually agrees.

50:39

And we've got Simpson and son, Grease Co.

50:41

Have we skipped where they first got the Grease company?

50:44

You know, the Grease company, whatever it is? Oh yeah,

50:46

we have. Yes, we have. Homer makes 63 cents from

50:48

Grease. Yeah, I'll give that one. Sorry. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

50:50

Yeah. So Homer, yeah, he makes 63 cents from Grease.

50:52

The bacon costs $27. Your mum paid for

50:54

that. Yeah, but what she has

50:56

money for me? I give my money from Grease. What's the problem?

51:00

I don't look like he's like, soon we'll be

51:02

earning paper money. Yes. We

51:05

need to expand our operation. But

51:08

yeah, as the end of that scene there, Bart's realizing

51:10

that he's going to be dedicating his life now to

51:12

this new scheme from Homer. But the driving past the

51:14

school bus looking out the window quite sad, they're riding

51:16

a rusty burger. Look at that red-headed kid.

51:18

It must be $20 worth of grease on his

51:20

forehead alone. I was thinking more of the deep

51:22

fryer. All right, let's try it your way. Did

51:24

you have acne when you were younger? I had

51:26

terrible acne. Like I'm talking my big, terrible acne.

51:28

I wouldn't want to leave the house. That's funny.

51:30

Lou and I were actually talking about this the

51:32

other day and I think both of us sort

51:34

of dodged a bullet. I mean, I had the

51:36

odd pimple here and there, but never, yeah, never

51:39

terrible acne or anything like that. You always

51:41

get the recurring ones in like certain spots.

51:43

I had one that would always come up

51:46

on my phone. I used to get in a year all the

51:48

time because I'd land in the bed. I'd put

51:50

my hand next to my face like that and it used to

51:52

go greasy. In here in my nose, I used to get in

51:54

my lot. I really thought that was one. I never forget the

51:56

one. And it's like when you're at school,

51:58

when everyone tries to cheat you normally, you're like, You

52:00

know they're there but if they're treating you normally, you sort of forget they're

52:02

there. When I used to have this one, it was like on my eye

52:04

here, like on the side of my nose, and I could see it. It

52:07

was like blocking my vision, it was that big. I

52:09

just remember going to school and I'm like, oh, everyone's like, being

52:11

nice, but I know they're all looking at my acne. Like

52:13

as a teenager, you know, you're 15, that's cool, and you've

52:15

got a face full of acne. That's not the

52:17

worst, but like it sucks. But you

52:20

learn to grow thick skin, but like I

52:22

always say like, you know, it's easy to

52:24

say no one cares. I get.

52:26

I've been there. You know, I get it. It fucking

52:28

sucks. But there's people, you get a

52:30

look at people who have actual issues, whether it be they

52:32

can't walk or they can't hear or things like that. And

52:34

it's like, this is pretty small potatoes and they're like, what

52:37

are you worried about? But I can still, as a 15

52:39

year old, it feels like it's the worst thing in the

52:41

world. It really would. Yeah. But even though it's not correct,

52:43

but Simpson and son, Grease Co. Yeah, I just love that

52:45

he's just created this business. But

52:48

the, my God, you're greasy. As

52:50

a kid, I didn't really appreciate this scene enough, but now

52:52

what she's eating now, I'm just like, holy shit, this is

52:54

amazing. They're putting the grease in the

52:56

car. She's mumbling, her car rules. She shouldn't have done a better job

52:58

of hiding her keys. And then the grease

53:01

is stolen by Acne Grease. And as

53:03

it turns out, and shovel caved. We

53:05

won the shovel. That's just such a

53:07

sports photo thing to me. Like

53:09

that kind of, that's a real classic Simpson's gag. It

53:12

is. We won the shovel racket as

53:14

well. The

53:16

girls all arrive at the mall for some party supplies.

53:18

Why are you still hanging out with Lisa? It's just

53:20

weird thing Lisa with friends. It makes

53:23

the story flow. Yeah, but it's not. She's always

53:25

a loner. That's correct. Yeah, it's an

53:27

odd one, but I hadn't thought about it

53:29

until just now. But we've got Dingo Junction.

53:31

That's where there's the hot place of all

53:33

the cool clothes. So Dingo Junction, that's the

53:35

name of the game. D'Dingo's the video game

53:37

that Lisa plays. Oh, which is Skippin' Score

53:39

Pertaining She's Ex-Sugar. She gets a picture to

53:41

play in D'Dingo. And it's the same Dingo in the Lego. So

53:44

it's a Spazza's operation. Dingo Junction.

53:46

What a name. Yeah, I know, right?

53:50

I mean, I'm not going to look ahead of their age

53:52

by adding some accessories, some lip gloss, possibly got five pounds.

53:54

They're going to look good for their date. And Lisa's like,

53:56

what do you mean? What's this? Hello?

53:58

Stop saying hello. And

54:02

then we get the DNY, don't mess yourself. Lisa

54:04

says she just wants to be a kid. Hello!

54:06

And then she realizes I've lost them. Homer

54:08

is now sad, he's been muscled out of the business as

54:10

well as the muscle for hire business. And

54:13

Marge is just a new scheme, a crazy scheme, raising emu.

54:16

What does it say? Emu, don't they?

54:18

Emu. Emu Farm. But I

54:20

suggest, I want to do one last big score.

54:23

And Homer's like, that's what I want to do,

54:25

that's why you're here. And he laughs at Marge's

54:27

emu farm idea. Nelson's then discussing Huckleberry. And it's

54:29

an odd thing isn't it? Nothing. You never

54:31

go back to camp. And then Lisa then arrives.

54:33

This obviously wasn't what they were going for. But

54:35

I've got, it kind of makes sense, she's looking

54:37

like Sandy in Grease. Oh yeah. And

54:40

it's the Grease episode. Oh!

54:42

Very clever, Danda. It's not obviously what they were going for,

54:44

but just a reminder because the kids are watching Grease all

54:46

the time at the moment. And I'm watching, I'm like, isn't

54:49

that great of a movie? Not really. I

54:51

loved Grease when I was younger and the songs were great,

54:53

but I'm like, everything in between is kind of, A, not

54:56

suitable for kids, and B, kind of weird. But

54:59

like, the chicks are cream. And I'm like, I hope my mum's

55:01

singing it to the kids the other day. She's singing Grease Light

55:03

and I was like, it's so weird. We

55:05

just sang it. The chicks are cream. And

55:07

I'm like, it's a real pussy wagon. Holy moly.

55:09

I mean, but the stuff in there, you know.

55:11

Get a lot of the kit. You're like, whoa.

55:13

Holy moly. Calm

55:17

down, Danny Zuko. And all that stuff about tell me more, tell

55:19

me more. Did she put up

55:21

a fight? Oh, that's kind of business. But I

55:23

mean, there's a whole, even aside from the songs,

55:25

there's a bit where... Just an assaulter, sexually? No.

55:28

I think, what is it? Kenickian Rizzo having sex

55:30

on the condom breaks or something, or he doesn't

55:32

have a condom or something. And it's like,

55:35

what, now she's pregnant? And then they're celebrating, I'm

55:37

not pregnant. And they're all happy. I mean,

55:40

I wouldn't say this when I was about seven or so. Actually

55:42

at the cinema. We all watch it with

55:45

all the kids. Yeah, yeah. And I'm sure there are

55:47

bits of it going, oh, wow, these songs are great. Oh,

55:50

I've got a crush on Olivia Newton-John. Wow, John Travolta can really dance, but they

55:52

have a part to it. The fuck is going

55:54

on there? I don't understand this, or it's like, I

55:56

didn't think I should be hearing this. Making fun of Olivia Newton-John because

55:59

she's a very good singer. Virgin? Yeah. The whole look

56:01

at me on Sandra Dee thing, I'm

56:03

getting this on a basic level it's like oh she's

56:05

a bit of a goody two-shoes but yeah. The whole

56:07

line about you know lousy with virginity and all that

56:09

kind of stuff. It's like wow, Greases. An

56:12

odd duck. It is very very odd but then this

56:14

is the thing obviously it's just Danizuko bullshitting but he

56:16

implies in that song tell me more that they did

56:18

it on the beach. Yeah. But apparently she's a virgin

56:21

it's like I can't keep up. Well

56:23

that's teenage boys for you though. Yeah. Did you

56:26

go all the way? Oh yeah, went all the way.

56:29

Yeah. She was good

56:31

you know what I mean? No one

56:34

knows what that means. No.

56:36

I love about Grease. Milhouse, I've

56:38

been looking all over for you.

56:40

Listen, you've always had a crush on me

56:42

right? Well this is your lucky day because you're

56:44

gonna take me to the dance. Pretty great

56:46

huh? See ya. Oh but

56:49

I can't. I already asked somebody.

56:51

So I didn't ask her. But

56:53

that one. You're expecting me. You

56:55

got that? And it's gonna be

56:58

a magical evening. What

57:02

am I doing? This isn't me. I'm

57:04

sorry Milhouse. I'm free

57:07

next weekend. There's

57:09

plenty of Milhouse to go

57:11

around. And then we come

57:14

back and Homer and Bart are now living home at night in the

57:16

Grease mobile and he promises God if he

57:18

gets the payoff here he'll donate half the profits to

57:20

charity. He's not stupid dad. I'll find him. Let's just

57:22

go. And then the drums fall off and you know he should

57:24

have attached those somehow. Lisa is now

57:26

looking at germs and even they've got dates and

57:28

March here is just like every mum

57:30

of a loser kid I think. I love the line

57:32

which is just like I have to honey. Like

57:35

what? You don't actually believe I'm gonna be the belle of the

57:37

ball. I have to honey. I've

57:39

got to support you no matter what. Even if I don't truly believe

57:41

it. But she says Nick you still have a good time and I

57:43

agree you can still have a good time. It's like when

57:45

I go over to my friends are you gonna be drinking? I'm like I

57:47

don't really need to. I'd rather just drive

57:50

home. Yeah but

57:52

they're counting on Lisa to count the tickets and March

57:55

talks are into going. Scares

57:57

are away. Scares are away with every Simpson

57:59

dance now. Homer then says this

58:01

better work because he doesn't want to work on that

58:03

emu farm and they arrive at the school and turn

58:05

on the suction and we get the eye moment which

58:08

always grossed me out when I was a kid

58:10

but I love that they call back to it

58:12

a little bit later there were those little like

58:14

rubber monster he's squishing you squeeze them and like

58:16

the eyes would bulge I guess that's

58:18

maybe what they were going for here Leesha was still

58:21

collecting tickets everyone's having a good time I've wanted everyone

58:23

on the door open so you can hear the music

58:25

close it was very very quiet you

58:27

know how to state as Kevin McAlister would

58:29

say woof woof and

58:31

you know who that was? the directors or one of

58:33

the writers sons dressed in girls clothes oh my gosh

58:35

really? yeah they're like we don't want to actually make

58:37

fun of a girl we'll get a boy dressed up

58:39

as a girl okay yeah that's

58:42

pretty cool Homer

58:44

and Bart then arrive in the cafeteria and

58:46

they get the degrees and now we wait so is this your

58:48

school? well it used to be it's like oh I don't feel

58:50

bad for Bart no it's just been taken out of school really

58:53

then walks in freshening up any Dundee's in the

58:55

town what's he cleaning himself with like Ajax on

58:58

a Brillo pad or something oh my god that's

59:00

so Scottish yes so Scottish I

59:04

mean oh I mean what are you

59:07

doing here? we're

59:09

a new foreign exchange students from

59:12

59:14

Scotland let's be

59:16

praised I'm from Scotland where do

59:18

59:26

59:28

59:30

a minute there's no Angus

59:32

McCloud in North Kilt Town why

59:35

you're not from Scotland at all ah

59:38

don't be daft I was born in a

59:40

re- what the

59:43

my retirement grease no

59:47

you even grease pundits I'll kill

59:49

ya the whole idea of like

59:51

they're trying to like run away in his van to

59:53

chase him up in his Dundee's strangle

59:56

him and the eye pops out once again Skinner then

59:58

asks Lisa to take over because mother has found a dune

1:00:01

bug and she got a corner in the basement and

1:00:03

she goes in and she realizes that nobody is

1:00:06

dancing together because they're acting like a bunch of

1:00:08

kids. Yep, that's what I don't actually

1:00:10

recall ever having a dance at primary school. We

1:00:12

used to have a thing called the Rugrats Disco.

1:00:14

You remember Rugrats? It was the kids center where

1:00:16

Cotton on Now is. And Friday

1:00:19

night, seven o'clock, Rugrats Disco, seven

1:00:21

till 10, all ages, all under ages, you

1:00:23

would have said all ages. Under

1:00:26

age. All ages. And

1:00:29

that's where I got my first kiss and I

1:00:31

saw my first boobies. Oh my, I saw them.

1:00:34

Yeah, holy moly. Yeah, let's

1:00:37

just come back to me. So being in the tunnels

1:00:39

at Rugrats going through it and

1:00:42

there was just like this girl who was just like flushing

1:00:44

this kid, like this boy, his name was

1:00:46

Daniel, I won't say his last name, Daniel M, and he was just like,

1:00:48

he's down there, check it out, and she like flashed me as well and

1:00:51

I was like, I know what to do

1:00:53

right now. So many feelings. Yeah,

1:00:56

it's a good time, is it Rugrats

1:00:58

Disco? Oh yeah, moly. What was your

1:01:00

earliest like school social or dance or

1:01:03

things like that? Or just like

1:01:05

a Rugrats Disco kind of thing? Didn't they have like the

1:01:07

blue light disco at the Lyric or something, wasn't that a

1:01:09

thing? That was

1:01:11

after my time. That was older. Yeah,

1:01:13

I mean I remember when I was

1:01:15

at school, there was, there's the Italian

1:01:17

Social Club out on

1:01:19

the road to Ocean Grove and that. But what's they

1:01:22

actually called the Peninsula, isn't it? I think so, oh,

1:01:24

might just actually be called the Italian Social Club because it

1:01:27

had a nickname that I cannot say on this

1:01:29

podcast. I know what it is.

1:01:31

You know what it is. I

1:01:33

gave him the daughter's head to say, yes, we don't say that. And

1:01:38

you know, I'd hear about, oh yeah, we went

1:01:40

to so-and-so on the weekend and I'm like, oh, that

1:01:42

sounds like fun, I guess. Thanks for inviting me. And

1:01:44

I just sound like too far away and honestly too

1:01:46

much. When we're growing up, when I was growing up,

1:01:48

like Lee Potter, I'm like, I'm going to Lee Potter,

1:01:50

the elephant graveyard, there's nothing out there. But

1:01:54

you know, there'd be the odd, they're just house party

1:01:56

where it's all, you know, video night or something

1:01:58

like that. And then... Yeah I think

1:02:00

there were a couple of school dances and it all

1:02:02

sort of culminated in year 12 with this big dance

1:02:04

where you're able to actually, even if you weren't fully

1:02:06

18 you were sort of allowed to drink and we

1:02:09

all just got shit based. Got it all. Yeah,

1:02:12

that's the thing. I asked

1:02:14

this girl who was so, I was punching so far

1:02:17

above my weight I couldn't believe it that she said

1:02:19

yeah. That's what you do, you don't touch it. Yeah,

1:02:22

it's a lovely girl actually said yes but then I

1:02:24

made it up with another girl. Oh you

1:02:26

dirty dog. I know. Oh, well,

1:02:28

apologies to this girl. We

1:02:35

all broke a heart or two didn't we? We

1:02:37

all had a heart broken and we broke some

1:02:39

hearts as well? Yeah, correct. Oh

1:02:41

Lisa, it's terrible. Okay, this dance

1:02:43

has gone titanic. What happened? Well

1:02:47

the boys and girls are like afraid of each other.

1:02:49

They're acting like a bunch of kids. I know, what

1:02:52

is up with that? It's because

1:02:54

they are kids and so are we.

1:02:56

Come on Alex, we've

1:02:58

only got nine, maybe ten years

1:03:00

tops where we can giggle in church

1:03:02

and chew with our mouths open

1:03:04

and go gaze without bathing. We'll never

1:03:07

have that freedom again. Listen,

1:03:10

you can giggle and stink all you want but

1:03:12

I have a credit card so, on you. Rulien

1:03:17

Homer then calls the grease to explode. It comes

1:03:19

through the vent into the dance. Here comes the

1:03:21

grease ball and that's what Tom was

1:03:23

mentioning. Yeah, hello Edge. I love it. You're going to bring a free

1:03:26

bitch. I love it. He's like, I won't do the accent. Go,

1:03:29

I put no holds barred. It's

1:03:35

okay when I say it. Yeah, so funny but then

1:03:37

Lisa tells Alex, just act your age and she throws

1:03:39

a grease ball at her which she then starts doing

1:03:42

in return and there was some bacon in that. That's

1:03:45

the end of the episode. Yeah, a sweet ending. Okay, now

1:03:47

you haven't hit the, well

1:03:49

this is considered post-golden year, so you can tell

1:03:51

but it's still got golden era vibes to it.

1:03:53

It does. It's got golden residue, shall we say.

1:03:56

Yes. Pre-zue residue. Alright guys, thank you

1:03:58

so much for listening to our review. view of Lard

1:04:00

of the Dance. It was great to go back and

1:04:03

revisit this one. Thanks again to Tom Libertori. Get

1:04:06

it right, woosh! For coming up to the show, hopefully

1:04:08

we can get anyone in the future. We can watch

1:04:10

some new episodes, isn't he? Yes indeed, and we're going

1:04:12

to see a whole new tattoo, hopefully. We are indeed.

1:04:15

Hopefully he gives us a scoop and we can put

1:04:17

it on our page and have us exclusive. Oh, that

1:04:19

would be great. That would be great indeed. But yeah,

1:04:21

is the way to do it. What was his name? I can't

quite remember. Was it Mick G or something? Probably

1:04:42

not that, but you know. There's a lot of

1:04:44

tattooers out there saying, that's me!

1:04:46

That's not you. But
