Rating Family Guy Episodes
00:00:16
Speaker
Welcome, everybody, to another edition of a show that we call The Family Guys. My name is Tookie, joined by the one and the only, Sim for the winning. And today, we are talking about season one, episode three of Family Guy, entitled, Chitty, Chitty, Deathbang. But before we get to that, my friend, how are you? Yeah, doing pretty good again. Enjoying going back and watching all these. And yeah, this one,
00:00:47
Speaker
like overall rating rise. I have it rated higher than the previous episode, but still lower than the pilot just because the pilot is just so iconic in so many ways, which is quite rare because some shows pilots are just like meh. You know, I was thinking about the whole how we're rating episodes thing. And in my head, I think I was going to kind of move forward with an out of five. Right. Where, you know, a zero is a disaster. I don't know if we'll even get any of those.
00:01:16
Speaker
I don't know if there's a disastrous episode of Family Guy that is just so horrific. Not that I recall at least. I guess it depends on how far into this venture we get. Maybe we'll find one.
Nostalgia's Impact on Ratings
00:01:31
Speaker
But, you know, I'd call a like, you know, a three is like your average solid episode. A four is a really good one. Five is a classic. And there's no denying that episode one's a five. Yeah, that's a classic.
00:01:46
Speaker
Yeah. Episode two, three, maybe a four. I would say episode two is a three for me. And then probably this one's a four. I think, I think that's fair. Yeah. I am intrigued at how long it takes us just because nostalgia is going to carry us a long way, but also the quality of these episodes early on were tremendous. Like I wonder how long it's going to take until we have our first, our first two, like a,
00:02:13
Speaker
Yeah, it's not like how long it takes to get back to a five out of five like I can remember some that really stand out to me that which in my mind are like five out of five so I can't wait to get to and you know, it's it's pretty good they last like throughout like they really nail it which is the growth of the show and how much like it the characters evolve and things like that and how much like the stories really hit home and things so yeah, I'm excited.
00:02:39
Speaker
Yeah, I think overall, this is our second recording session. We recorded the first two episodes back to back. And now, I think in a way, number one, it was just because of the schedule and the timing that we had. But at the same time, I think it's going to be beneficial for us.
00:02:58
Speaker
to be like, okay, cool. Now we're coming back to record episode three. How do we feel about having watched the episode? How do we feel about talking about it? And I'm still just as pumped and just so it's fantastic.
00:03:11
Speaker
And it is a fun episode to talk about, certainly. And I think for the most part, we'll be able to just kind of jump right into it today. I don't think there's anything too crazy to mention or to talk about in terms of the buildup for it or any kind of fun facts like we had the first time out.
Notable Creators of Family Guy
00:03:30
Speaker
Yeah, I got those scattered throughout of little things that
00:03:34
Speaker
Little references, background references that I noticed are other little fun facts because I'm a nerd like that. And I find out all the weird extraneous details about things. There you go. Well, then with that said.
00:03:46
Speaker
Let's get into it. Why not? We won't waste any time this time out. Although before getting to the the hit by hit from the episode, wanted to mention I had looked up again. I'm always intrigued at who wrote and directed each episode. And this particular episode directed by Dominic Palsino, who has quite the
00:04:08
Speaker
like the resume. And that's what I'm always intrigued by is how many people have been a part of this show for a long time and also what other experiences do they have. And Don Paulcino has directed episodes of The Simpsons, King of the Hill, Rick and Morty. And the writer of this was Danny Smith, who was a long time writer for the show, also wrote for other sitcoms, Nurses, which I've never seen admitted. I don't think I've ever even heard
00:04:33
Speaker
of nurses. I have no idea what that is. I know all the rest of them, but never I never got into any of the other shows. But nurses, I have no idea what that is. I'm assuming from the 80s because I saw not around. I did look it up. It aired from September of 91 to May of 94. Three seasons worth that aired on NBC.
00:05:00
Speaker
This is my favorite line of it. Created and produced by Susan Harris as a spin-off of Empty Nest, which itself was a spin-off of the Golden Girls. Oh my god. So I hadn't heard of Empty Nest either. I didn't know there was a spin-off of the Golden Girls, but apparently there was.
Third Rock From the Sun Cast Highlights
00:05:24
Speaker
Interesting. I never knew that. I know Golden Girls, because who doesn't? I never knew it had spin-offs. Right. Yeah, no, that was a weird one for me. And then I had also wrote episodes for Third Rock from the Sun, which I have heard of, and I recall being a show I never watched an episode. I couldn't tell you a damn thing about the show or the premise.
00:05:52
Speaker
Um, all I know is French steward is in it. That's the biggest thing that I know about that show. Yeah. It was, I remember like seeing commercials and promos for it and stuff. Cause I was growing up and watching TV around that time. That's it. I never watched it. The show was about four extraterrestrials who are on an expedition to earth, which they consider to be a very insignificant planet.
00:06:21
Speaker
They pose as a human family to observe the behavior of human beings. Huh, okay. I never even knew they're aliens. See, I don't even know the premise of the show. Oh my God. Starring John Lithgow, French Stewart, a young Joseph Gordon Levitt before he was totally not Robin in a certain Batman film. You should use that name more. Robin. What the fuck?
00:06:50
Speaker
OK, complete side tangent here. Is it just me or did that third Dark Knight film suck?
Critique of The Dark Knight Rises
00:06:59
Speaker
I liked it. I thought that was so forced, that reference to Robin and like, oh, he's going to be Robin now. It was just yeah, that was a little forced. I liked the movie. I laugh at Bane.
00:07:11
Speaker
just the way he talks. I'll always remember the frickin when I used to watch cinema sins, the way he says, Gotham is yours. And he's just the sin as Bane does an Adam Sandler impression. It's yeah, I mean, I liked it. It's not the strongest of that trilogy for sure. But I think it's good. Maybe I should have said sucks in comparison to the other two, because I feel like the other two
00:07:38
Speaker
knocked it out of the park like obviously the dark knight initially gets praised consistently to the point where some people are just like okay okay just i get it um but i also thought batman begins was really really strong maybe it's just because of the memes surrounding dark knight rises that i'm just like
00:07:57
Speaker
And in fairness, I haven't watched it in a while, though. Maybe I should. Maybe I should go back.
Watching Batman on Flights
00:08:01
Speaker
But then again, I also know you and I took a trip to Finland this past June. And that was finally the time on that flight over that I watched the most recent Batman film. I actually watched that on one of the flights, too. So it's kind of funny. We both had the same experience watching The Batman. I thought that was a great movie.
00:08:24
Speaker
I thought it was really, really good too. Um, and it's three hours long. So what better time to watch it than a transatlantic flight? Yes. Wow. Anyway, um, yeah, never watched third rock from the sun. I think it's, you know, the more we get, we, we get like turned on to like weird side tracks
Danny Smith's Star Wars Story
00:08:43
Speaker
and tangents. The more we just embrace the culture of family guy and all the references and all the, uh, cutaway gags and stuff.
00:08:51
Speaker
Well, speaking of which, Danny Smith also wrote episodes of Yes, Dear. I haven't seen anything of hi. Yeah. I mean, aired from October of 2000 to February. Oh, six, six seasons over 100 episodes. I have no recollection of this show whatsoever either. And also has credits for a show called Head of the Class.
00:09:20
Speaker
Which, I mean that, in fairness, that's the oldest one of the bunch from 86 to 91, which again, I feel like I've heard of it before, but there you go. Never, never check it out. And I bring all of these up to say, if these are shows that you recall or have fond memories of and think, yeah, those are worth watching, let us know.
00:09:44
Speaker
I want to know, should I check these shows out? Are they good examples of good shows, good sitcoms from the past? I would like to bring up that Danny Smith, I believe this is the right person. He's one of the older dudes, which makes sense given his resume.
00:10:03
Speaker
as I was watching one of the commentaries, he was one of the, maybe the only person who worked for Family Guy that never really got into or saw Star Wars, which I found crazy because he was actually alive during the time when the original trilogy hit theaters. He has a story that he told on one of the commentaries. I believe it's one of the Star Wars episode commentaries where he went to see the original Star Wars movie and just got shitfaced in the theater and doesn't remember anything. And that was his only Star Wars experience in his life.
00:10:33
Speaker
to which, of course, everyone makes fun of him for. Yeah, I find that was interesting because we get one of our first Star Wars references in this in this episode as well. And I thought that was kind of ironic that it's Danny Smith directing it with that history. I wonder if it was his joke or if someone's like, Danny, put this. Yeah, it's probably not even his joke. He's like, what the hell is this?
00:10:55
Speaker
Well, you mentioned, you know, in details of the episode and one detail that you and I both noticed was that this is the only season one episode without a cold open.
Stewie's Character Evolution
00:11:08
Speaker
Which, it was almost so jarring compared to the first two episodes that even I noticed it out of the gates. It's just like, oh, it's the Griffin home, okay? And I mean, I talked about it, the season or the episode two cold open for me, I'm just like, eh. So, you know, I wasn't opposed to not seeing one, essentially, but just an interesting little tidbit.
00:11:36
Speaker
This episode begins as Stewie is about to turn one. And then he never ages ever again. Never ever again. It's the. I mean, God, what's the running joke at this point that Bart Simpson's almost 50? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Weird sidetrack fact because we mentioned King of the Hill. I don't even know if I mentioned this so far, but King of the Hill at one point was going to age the characters.
00:12:05
Speaker
I believe that I get another thing I picked up on one of the commentaries here is like that they were talking about King of Hill and how they were initially going to age the characters, but then they never ended up doing it because it just be too weird and hard. And it doesn't necessarily work for cartoons like aging characters because like.
00:12:23
Speaker
It's you can evolve like a character, but it's hard to also evolve them through their aging process and things like that. So like we'll see obviously like cutaway gags of like and plot points of like older griffins and things like that. But yeah, it's hard to age people in cartoons because the whole premise is like when you're introduced to the character, if you fell in love with that, it's going to be hard to watch them like grow up in a cartoon.
00:12:46
Speaker
I mean, you mentioned he just said all grow up, all grown up and stuff like that. Like that's what I think of is the Rugrats. Because that's what they did. They did a Rugrats like follow up. Instead of it being the babies, they did it to where like, oh, they're in middle school now. Weird. Like I remember that being on Nickelodeon in like 2003 ish, four ish, I think is when it started. It was a bit weird.
00:13:15
Speaker
but also it was nice that you could treat it as as its own thing right if it was just too weird for it's like okay well the initial episodes are still there and you're fine um but that's what i found interesting is that some you know properties have done that but it is funny that you mentioned king of the hills specifically because i saw something i think on twitter uh within the past week yeah is this bottom
00:13:37
Speaker
Uh-huh stuff is the fucking like furry fem boy or whatever. Yes. You got, you got graying out Hank who's starting to look more like cotton and you get Bobby has just this fabulous individual. Uh, and someone's just like, Oh, this is what king of the Hill would be now. And the way the world is, the top put a stop to it. I'm like, dude, did you miss what their dynamic is in that show? What the fuck?
00:14:06
Speaker
And you know what? I'd be up for it. I'd be up for it if that was the way that the show would be. I'd be very intrigued. And obviously, I think, or maybe not obviously, but there was the talk that King of the Hill was coming back because Hulu picked it up at the beginning of last year, but I haven't heard anything about it for a while, especially in the aftermath of Johnny Hardwick.
00:14:32
Speaker
Beavis and Butthead coming back. I just said, go Mike Judge. Beavis and Butthead had like a reboot, didn't it? And they're like, you're king of the hill, mate. Yeah, with Johnny Hardwick passing away, who was the voice of Dale Gribble this past summer. It's like, I don't know what they might have had recorded. And obviously, I mean, that's a major change. You're bringing back a show.
00:14:52
Speaker
And you're talking, I can't even really think of a comparison. It'd be like the voice of Bender passing away when they're looking to bring back Futurama or something like that. It's like, how the fuck do you navigate that? It changes the entire dynamic of the. Pocket sand. One of my favorite. He's iconic. Like it's just an iconic character. That's tough. One of my favorite dynamics.
00:15:19
Speaker
ever on a show is his complete lack of awareness in regards to Joseph being John Red Court's son. Yeah, that is great. The fact and I love the irony that he's just such a fucking conspiracy theorist and he doesn't notice his wife's cheating on him. Oh, it's so amazing.
00:15:43
Speaker
coming soon to a podcast feed near you, King of the Hills. Kings of the Hill. So, Stewie's about to turn one. We flash back to his birth and Peter throwing up and running out of the room. As Stewie's delivered, the doctors find more. Lots of questions if it's twins, but no, it's a map of Europe. It's Stewie planning to bomb London, Paris, Germany, and Austria.
00:16:16
Speaker
God, you talk about the evolution of Stewie, despite the fact he stays one year old.
00:16:23
Speaker
Just the, you know, at this early stage you have, like episode one was very much like, I'm going to kill Lois. But then it also drifted into, I'm going to take over the world. And it kind of went back and forth between the two up until the point where it transitions into, he and Brian basically have their own stoner comedies.
00:16:48
Speaker
when in the context of each episode. But yeah, just the idea of, again, third episode of this. And they're just like, yeah, what if we joke that this baby wants to bomb Europe? I respect it. I respect it.
00:17:03
Speaker
Yeah, the whole evil genius thing is fantastic.
Cheesy Charlie's Birthday Memories
00:17:06
Speaker
But yeah, you realize you can only go so far with that. And it is still referenced at time in later episodes. But yeah, they found the evolution, which was Stewie becoming essentially a very effeminate, possibly closeted gay baby, which is goddamn hilarious in itself. The plan for his birthday party is at Cheesy Charlie's, which
00:17:32
Speaker
Is a not so subtle reference obviously to a, but did you ever have a birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese? I don't know if I did, but I've been to them 100%. Fun fact, my first birthday was at a Chuck E. Cheese. Wow.
00:17:52
Speaker
Obviously, no, but I heard people had a great time. For some reason, I remember the pizza being good, but I cannot imagine it's any fucking good. I think I was just a kid and it was pizza. It can't be good. It can't be good there. I feel like the pizza is the equivalent of the new design for Chuck.
00:18:16
Speaker
It's just like, it probably doesn't sit right, you know? I'm sorry, but that just ruined the idea for me of like, hey, go to Chuck E. Cheese. Like, have you seen what that new fricking rat looks like? He's not even a mouse anymore, he's a rat. I don't like him. Let me see, I have to actually look this up right now. Give me the 90s. Ew. Yeah, see?
00:18:45
Speaker
Like, what happens? That's what I'm saying. What happened to Chuck E. Cheese? I got one of them standing next to each other. Yeah, the old one just looks fucking dejected. He's like wearing jeans now instead of... What the hell? That's weird. Yelling at clouds right now. Basically, yeah.
00:19:07
Speaker
So Chuck E. Cheese is, or cheesy Charlie's, should I say, is the plan for the birthday. Chris is excited because they have the game where you put a dollar in and win four quarters back and you win every time. And thus we go further down the road of Chris just being an absolute idiot like his father. Yes. Yes. That's exactly what I was thinking too, was like, this was the first joke for me where I'm just like, Oh, Chris is little Peter, basically. Yeah.
00:19:34
Speaker
We get a flashback to Meg's first birthday party, where she says her first words, her first steps, and performs her first drum solo, while Lois is slaving away in the kitchen. Yeah, that's real right there. Like, moms at birthday parties, like, I remember my mom talking about it, like, yeah, she's like, you know, you miss so much, because my mom would go frickin' all out. Like, we'd have themed birthday parties. She would, like, hand draw.
00:20:01
Speaker
big ass things like I remember my sister had a Disney partner. My mom legit like hand drew maybe used tracings but like these huge ass posters to put all over the house of all the Disney princesses like Little Mermaid, Jasmine, all this stuff. It was wild. And yeah, I remember talking about it. She's like, yeah, you do all this work and then you barely get to enjoy it after doing all that work. So that's very real.
00:20:24
Speaker
Stewie, as he walks into the living room and needs to be changed, is informed of these big plans for him, and he begins to panic and wonder what they could be planning. Meanwhile, Meg runs home after failing at sharing.
00:20:46
Speaker
I just know what this is leading to. How do you do? I suck suck. Peter. Yeah. So stupid, but it leads to a flashback of Peter struggling to fit in as he gets the steps wrong in his West Side story. He was just there for the gang fights, man.
00:21:15
Speaker
Oh, God. It's this. And it's they had a really kind of similar joke because the the character says to Peter, it's step, kick, step, curl. But then I confuse this with the time that Chris and Peter were dancing to appease the volcano where it's step hit, step pivot. You're trying to piss off the volcano. Yeah.
00:21:42
Speaker
Oh my God. I always confuse those two, but they both make me laugh regardless. Peter ends up telling Meg to be happy.
Societal Pressures on Meg
00:21:53
Speaker
You should just be the girl that everyone thinks you should be. So don't be yourself. Just do what you got to do to fit in. Great lesson. Yeah. I mean, hey, will it work out high school? Yeah.
00:22:11
Speaker
It brings us back to another flashback where the Hansen bus breaks down in front of the Griffin home and Peter thinks it's the children of the corn. Two references that people now will not understand but were goddamn funny at the time. Did you ever see a children of the corn movie? Yes, I saw the first one.
00:22:31
Speaker
I can't remember which one I saw. All I remember is a scene where this dude goes into a church with a voodoo doll and makes this patron there fucking bleed out of his ears and his nose all crazy. And that's like the only thing I remember from children of the corn and then their hands and becoming blood brothers. Hmm. I don't know. I remember is just how freaking creepy, uh,
00:22:57
Speaker
the primary kid Isaac was in the first place. That was just good casting. I don't have a joke about it or anything like that. That was just good casting. But they've tried to reboot Children of the Corn a few times in terms of making it a thing. And it just never really took off. But that's one of those things where I feel like in the 80s especially,
00:23:22
Speaker
So many of the initial versions of the films hit so hard where it's like, how do you possibly, you know, top that? Because equaling it isn't enough. It's like, yeah, I mean, it was just, you know, I don't know. It was, yeah. Shout out to Children of the Corn. It's a good movie. Maybe not the most recent ones, but, you know, Peter.
00:23:48
Speaker
Being congratulated by Lois for, you know, cheering up Meg, reveals his, well, that's why I have this number one dad t-shirt. And then he also accidentally reveals his no fat chicks t-shirt. Which is random. Again, just throwing every joke at the wall they possibly can.
Stewie's Origin Story
00:24:09
Speaker
We get Stewie's origin story with a Star Wars-like battle as a sperm.
00:24:18
Speaker
only to reveal that it was a trap in this quote, uterine gulag. Yeah. The dialogue for Stewie in this whole sequence is just brilliant. Like he's, you know, it's, they've established he is clearly the smartest one with the most vast vocabulary. And yeah, they just hammer that home. It's an excellently animated and very well-written like a cutaway.
00:24:44
Speaker
Stewie deduces that, well, as I was born, I was ambushed by the man in lights. And Stewie deduces that I'm going to be sent back to the womb. And as smart as he is, he still knows nothing of the world. That's, that's such a cool dynamic. Like, has that even ever been done?
00:25:08
Speaker
like that it's grand honestly ground i'm just amazed like it's funny but like i'm honestly just like amazed by they do such a good job of like when they anthropomorphize things like a baby that's i don't know i don't know if that's the right word for it but obviously he's an evil genius but then at the same time he's still a baby
00:25:25
Speaker
And they do that with Brian a lot too, especially later. They haven't quite done it yet, but those moments where Brian is clearly intelligent, well-read, but he still acts like a dog at times, like the barking at things, like chasing balls and stuff like that, like when Peter gets a tennis ball out at some point. And those are just, yeah, I love when they do that, because it adds to the absurdity where you anthropomorphize these things, made them seem like something that they're not. And then you remind everyone, hey, they're still babies or a dog. It's a good.
00:25:55
Speaker
Good tool. Meg's at school, where she gets laughed at by cheerleaders, but is then met by Jennifer, who introduces herself to Meg. More on Jennifer later. Peter and Chris had cheesy Charlies to scout it out.
00:26:18
Speaker
Um, where Peter cannot avoid the temptation of the ball pit in Hong Kong for we belly flops into the ball pit. Good God ball pits, man. You know, those things as a kid, they have to be one of the most filthiest places on the planet. Like as a kid, you could play in a ball pit and it's like, ah, whatever. I'm used to the germs. That's fine. I feel like as an adult,
00:26:48
Speaker
If you were to like step foot in a ball pit, you'd be sick for a week. Yeah. Just the germ build up. I just feel like you wouldn't be able to. Yeah, you wouldn't be able to fight it off, basically. Yeah, kids are fucking nasty. I said it. Tell us how you really feel, man. Oh, damn. Chateau, did you ever see episodes of Hong Kong phooey, by the way? No, I had no clue what Hong Kong phooey was.
00:27:18
Speaker
Okay. Um, Hannah Barbera cartoon as well, which again is funny based off of the, the Seth Green experience at Hannah Barbera. But yes. Oh, did I say Seth Green? Yes, you did. Ah, fair enough. So there's so many Seths, you know? Um, basically the whole thing was that it was a, a dog who, uh,
00:27:46
Speaker
was working at the police station as I think he was working as a janitor at the police station. But essentially whenever something would happen, he'd put on a karate gi and like the little mask and just go out and kick the shit out of people. You know, there's not enough crime fighting dogs, you know, apparently not. Yeah, it's just not enough. You never have enough crime fighting dogs.
00:28:16
Speaker
You have Peter and Chris then going and playing games at the arcade, including Chris playing the Indy 500 game while Peter next to him is playing virtual stuck behind a bus. It's just the absurdity. It raised the question to me of, oh, that has to actually exist now. In this era of
00:28:44
Speaker
you know, truck simulators and all of that. That has to exist, right? This this style of game where it's yeah, you're stuck behind. We have your stuff. So nothing would surprise me. It reminds me of that game. God, what was the what was the the name of it? I can't even think of who the hell produced at this point. Famous again, the names right there for me. Famous magicians.
00:29:17
Speaker
Penn and Teller, there we go, I got there. They were a part of a video game. It was technically unreleased, but it was a video game called Desert Bus. And that's kind of what this made me think of where it's just the absurdity of it. Where in this game, you had to drive a bus on a straight road
00:29:46
Speaker
between Tucson, Arizona and Las Vegas. Oh God. There are no other vehicles. You are just driving through the desert. You can open the doors at bus stops, but nobody will get on. You could travel at a top speed of 45 miles an hour over the course of 360 miles, meaning it takes you eight hours to get to your end destination. But here's the thing.
00:30:14
Speaker
It is eight hours of real time.
00:30:17
Speaker
That sounds awful. You can't skip ahead. You can't up the speed. You literally just have to sit there and watch the bus go for eight hours to beat the to beat the level. It was a part of a Sega CD game or it was canceled, but it was supposed to be a minigame compilation starring Penn and Teller. And that's easily the most famous one that is out there is Desert Bus. Jesus, that sounds horrible.
00:30:48
Speaker
And I'm like, well, if that existed in the 90s, then virtual stuck behind a bus must absolutely exist somewhere, especially to people have made video games of fake video games in shows like this, like they've done it for The Simpsons and stuff like that. So I'm like, this, this has to exist somewhere. At least I hope it does.
00:31:17
Speaker
Fair enough. Oh, I thought you found it. No, I was waiting for the big reveal. Damn it. Oh, I wish. I wish. I hope it exists. If it does, someone please send it my way or send if you find it. Feel free. Peter. Oh, my God. Does it exist? I just found a post on Reddit that said I made the Family Guy game virtual stuck behind a bus. Of course. And it has a link. It has a link to the Google store.
00:31:47
Speaker
There's no way. Hold on. Oh my God. It looks like it is a thing. Virtual stuck behind a bus. Wow. It's from a post. I found that post too. It's from a year ago. I mean, yeah, it looks like an app game or something like that. And oh, it has 10 or more downloads. So not very, but someone made it. I mean, that's just,
00:32:15
Speaker
What a time we live in when programming is that probably an all time high and people just can do make memes, yeah, meme games. I'm happy. I'm glad that exists. It should. Peter's trying to cheat at a claw machine by reaching up into it, but he loses his dukes of hazard watch.
00:32:40
Speaker
While trying to cheat meanwhile Chris runs out of the bathroom and celebrates after winning a condom Which he calls a balloon fan why the fuck are condoms at a children's like uh-huh So many questions is That's like that jokes within jokes
00:33:04
Speaker
That whole deal though of like, oh yeah, you can buy condoms in
Cultural Differences in Condom Vending Machines
00:33:08
Speaker
the bathroom. Like the last time I saw that, I was at Heathrow Airport on the way. So seriously, yeah, on the way home from Finland last time, this past June, we landed at Heathrow and it's just this big ass machine of like, buy the condoms you want. I'm just like, at an airport?
00:33:29
Speaker
If you're in Europe, they're kind of everywhere. I remember the first time, and I was there for my first time in Europe, I was like 14 years old, and it was for like a school band trip, and we were doing a tour there in Europe, and I was in Germany, and I bought a fucking condom, because I could, with like a Euro coin or something like that, and you just buy a condom, and yeah, you'll find them in Europe, you will not find them in the States. I would be shocked to find them in the States, because the States are,
00:33:59
Speaker
just repressed. It's hard enough to get friggin feminine hygiene products put in bathrooms like condoms. Oh my God.
00:34:11
Speaker
I mean, hey, I'm not saying I'm against it. I'm just saying at an airport caught me a little bit off guard. It's like, well, you see, I forgot them at home and we're almost to Italy. So might as well prep now. Like, I don't know.
00:34:30
Speaker
Um, I did see a funny note though, the, the dukes of hazard watch. So a kid comes along and wins the watch, but they had a voiceover of the watch. Like it would play a sound effect. And it was actually Waylon Jennings that did the voiceover, just like he did for the actual dukes of hazard TV show, which I thought was really cool that they were able to get him to do that. Cause I feel like with a lot of shows and especially celebrity involvement, you know, you wait until it's a hit, but
00:35:00
Speaker
No, third episode of Family Guy. Hey, we're going to do a Dukes of Hazzard joke. Sure. Waylon's down to do it. Why not? And then he comes back at least one more time in a future episode as well to do narration. So in the midst of all of this, Peter accidentally talks himself out of Cheesy Charlie's hosting Stewie's birthday party in which Peter preps Chris for being the man of the house because Lois is going to absolutely kill Peter.
00:35:32
Speaker
We cut away to Stewie, who is reading Soldier of Fortune magazine and begins to pack for his war against the man in white, which includes a box of grenades and of course, travel Cheerios. Little baggy of Cheerios. That's honestly an elite fucking baby snack.
00:35:58
Speaker
the videos I have of me being a baby and you know one of those little uh walker things that they sit the baby down and one of those things has a little tray and yeah yeah I always had any baby picture I see or video I'm in as a baby there's always a fucking mess of Cheerios on there apparently I loved Cheerios I still love Cheerios I had a bowl of Cheerios today nice I don't got any Cheerios that's what I got
00:36:24
Speaker
I, again, I'm a big cereal guy, but I'm also a big old person cereal guy. I enjoyed Cheerios. I enjoy... I haven't tried total in a while. I don't think I've ever had it. Give me, give me honey bunches of oats. Give me, give me, give me life or checks. And especially
00:36:54
Speaker
Raisin Bran. You beat me to the punch on the total joke.
Brian's Wit and Observations
00:37:01
Speaker
Goodness. So Peter gets home and tells Lois as Brian pulls up a chair to listen to Peter's story about how they lost the reservation at Cheesy Charlie's. As it cuts away to this fictional scenario, Peter is now wearing his I Heart Lois t-shirt.
00:37:19
Speaker
That was a nice touch as Peter and Chris head into the evil castle. No, it's cheesy chocolates where the devil is hosting as he salutes Hitler. You see kids getting killed as the devil notes that they have three flavors of ice cream available for the party, vanilla, chocolate, or people.
00:37:44
Speaker
Yeah. Very good. In the background, I counted at least one. There were probably more. But it stuck out to me because they do this reference actually a few different times. It was from Edgar Allan Poe's, you know, that pendulum. I don't know. Did you read much Edgar Allan Poe? Yeah. Because, yeah. OK. So, you know, the pendulum story, how it just keeps getting lower and lower. Yeah. They had a reference to that. It's just a background reference, not mentioned. But yeah, that also comes up in a future episode of the Griffin family being tortured. And I just.
00:38:13
Speaker
Again, just shows Seth MacFarlane, everyone's appreciation for like older literature, older movies, older, you know, the classics. And that's just, you're, that's just, there's pop culture references, but there's always going to be those old classic references and family guy. Right. Eventually, Chris and Peter are captured, but Peter turns into the Hulk to save the day.
00:38:37
Speaker
As Lois cuts him off, Brian gives him a standing ovation and calls him the Spalding Gray of Crap.
00:38:46
Speaker
Dude, did you by chance look up Spalding Grey? I sure did. I did not know who Spalding Grey. Yeah, they make a point to make a lot of Rhode Island references because he was an actor, playwright, a screenwriter, novelist born in Rhode Island, tragically suffered a TBI, traumatic brain injury, from a car crash and later took his own life due to it.
00:39:12
Speaker
But this reference was made a few years before that, so it wasn't really in bad taste or anything like that. But yeah, he was just involved in so many crazy movies and shows and stuff like that. He has quite the resume. Yeah, I was looking over that. There's a lot of different acting credits and the variety of different films.
00:39:33
Speaker
It was just something I had no idea who this was. There aren't too many references, even some of the older references, I feel like, that go past me. But this was an episode that was a little bit different, whether or not it be, granted, not within the episode itself, but we talked about the writer and the director and some of the things that they've worked on. But then you also had a joke like this where I'm just like, I don't get it.
00:39:55
Speaker
Yeah, there's a lot of like what I think Seth MacFarlane has called like 10 percenters, where like 10 percenter people are going to get it. But if they get it, then they really like it. And Seth, you know, they love doing stuff like that because. I don't know. It's just that's just part of what this show is. And again, what makes it so special, because when you get one of those references that you that you know, you'll know that most people won't get to because it's more obscure, like you feel even cooler.
00:40:24
Speaker
So Lois, as you would expect, is furious. Meanwhile, we see Stewie escaping from his bedroom via the use of suction cups. Peter eventually tries to save the day by hosting the party at home, lying to Lois about what he has organized.
00:40:43
Speaker
Brian calls him out, knowing that he doesn't have this, calling him a terrible liar, as we get a cutaway gag of Peter and one other guy in an elevator, in which Peter Fartson tries to blame it on the other dude. Brian abruptly leaves the conversation to try and catch
00:41:10
Speaker
A reference again that I didn't get at first. Oh, you never saw those commercials. I didn't. Yeah. I thought at first that it was an Indian in the cupboard reference. But I discovered it was a reference to commercials from the 70s for Purina dog food. It's a weird, bizarre commercial that I, it's just so weird that it always stood out.
00:41:41
Speaker
Yeah, so within the 70s and the 80s, and by the way, this also got a video game. Oh my God. Because of course it did. There's a 1983 promotional video game called Chase the Chuck Wagon. It was only available via mail order by sending in proofs of purchase for Purina dog food, which... It came on a floppy disk, didn't it?
00:42:09
Speaker
I think so. Well, no, it was actually for the Atari 2600. Ah, OK. But I do like it's basically Pac-Man is my understanding. Like you're trying to chase things down. Like there's a bone that you have to chase down, but you're also being chased by a dog catcher or something at the.
00:42:31
Speaker
at the same time, but yeah, a lot of video games back then were like knockoffs because you're so limited back then. Like what the hell could you do? I thought I was like, Oh, when I learned this game exists, I'm like, Oh, this must have come with like, you know, packed into a box of cereal or something like that, because I do remember a lot of those style of games. But even before that mail order only.
00:42:58
Speaker
Stewie heads to the airport, trying to fly to Nicaragua, where he gives the woman at the counter a list of demands, including there better not be pickles. God forbid there's pickles. He gets caught and offers, I wrote down the wrong thing here, but offers the security guard money, women, men, to let him go.
00:43:27
Speaker
We cut back to Peter, who was trying to catch the three little pigs for the petting zoo that he promised, knocking down the first two houses, getting to the brick house, only to get paint canned like it's home alone, which I thought was tremendous. Yeah, it's that's again, just another reference. And it's such a little one, too. But if you know, you know.
00:43:54
Speaker
Meg brings her new friend, Jennifer, back to the Griffin home where Jen compares Lois to Martha Stewart, where Lois says, actually, I'm really nice. That is a tremendous. I didn't realize that Martha Stewart would have been joked about like this prior to her going to prison.
00:44:21
Speaker
Yeah. She was at times viewed as not so nice of a person behind the scenes. Yeah. Or they just took a shot. Yeah. Yeah. Cause it's family guy. They just sometimes just take shots at anyone just cause, but I, for some reason I remember that I didn't look into this too deeply, but yeah, for some reason to remember Martha Stewart was like, it's always controversial when someone plays an uber nice person and then turn out to be opposite way the same
Lois Compared to Martha Stewart
00:44:46
Speaker
way. It's like this really awesome,
00:44:48
Speaker
you know, Discovery won like a person who plays a dick bag in some way, like Gordon Ramsey, who's actually this super nice person. And when you see him work with kids, you're like, Oh my God. Like, yeah. I love those memes of him yelling at a 35 year old. It's okay, gorgeous. You don't care. I love that man. Yeah.
00:45:16
Speaker
Meghan forms Lois that she got invited to a party by Jennifer, but Lois doesn't want her to go as it's the same day as Stewie's birthday party. Meg storms out of the room to which Brian, who's been sitting at the table with Lois, mutters, she's a whiny little runt, isn't she? Lois is shocked. He just goes, what? I said runt.
00:45:40
Speaker
Third episode, they make a joke like this. It really is like Seth MacFarlane was like, I'm just putting it all out there. Yeah. Like it, season one has that air of man. If they don't give me a second season, at least I made the jokes I wanted to make. Yes. And it was just this don't give a fuck attitude, which is perfect. And goddamn. Yeah. Like that's.
00:46:08
Speaker
It's like, I think part of it is, you know, be controversial to be controversial to
Controversial Humor in Early Episodes
00:46:14
Speaker
be shocking. But at the same time, that's also just who he is. And the great, great kind of writers like this and stuff have always sort of pushed buttons. Great. Can you think of the iconic comedians like George Carlin? They honestly genuinely didn't give a fuck. And they were just speaking of, you know, like, I don't care what what you think. I think that rule is stupid. So I'm going to bend it as much as I can.
00:46:36
Speaker
I mean, literally, like maybe his most famous comedy special ever is the, you know, the things you can't say on television. Yep. Yep. Peter heads to the exotic entertainment store where we get the first introduction of a time was the Oh, no. Guy is official. The name was the performance artist.
00:47:00
Speaker
Wasn't, is that how he was titled? Before it became Bruce, I think his name is Bruce down the line. His character name at the time was the performance artist because of what he's talking about. I can catch a little kid on my web. Peter just backs out of the room. They had him doing so many different odd jobs, especially.
00:47:26
Speaker
In late, you know, in future seasons, like one and two, I don't know how much... I think this is only...
00:47:32
Speaker
one of two appearances and like the first two seasons or something like that. It's not until I think season four or five that he starts. Yeah. I'm trying to remember if his second appearance was like running whatever meeting that was. I can't even remember what the meeting was when he has Oreos and coffee. Everyone likes a snack. Like I don't even know if that's the second one, but yeah, he was just always doing these weird different roles in the community.
00:48:00
Speaker
We cut to Stewie at the airport who chastises the security guard saying, the only way you're going to get me to talk is if you torture me and I don't think you've got the grapes, which that, that got me. That got me big time. And we get the first acknowledgement of Stewie's middle name.
00:48:22
Speaker
Stuart Gilligan Griffin. I think that's the first family member middle name that we know about. We learn of others later, Chris's middle name, and that's the only one I'm remembering offhand. I'm pretty sure we'll learn Peters at some point, but I always remember Chris's middle name because it's hilarious. Do we want to tell people what it is in case they don't know? Yeah, it's Cross. Christopher Cross Griffin. Yeah, Chris Cross. Oh my God.
00:48:53
Speaker
Stewie escapes the airport security guard by freezing him in carbonite Star Wars reference you were alluding to earlier
00:49:07
Speaker
and not the last time we will see someone frozen in carbonate on this show. We actually passed it. I was trying to remember which scene it was, but I think it's when Peter comes in to explain about Cheesy Charlies. Brian is reading a magazine titled Doggy Style, but it's about dog fashion. I laughed so hard at that. Visual gags, background gags, some of my
00:49:36
Speaker
some of my like favorite sort of things probably why I love airplane and hotshot so much but uh I think that also helped shape my humor towards family guy too just cuz absurdity hmm anyway had to bring that up cuz goddamn Brian
00:49:55
Speaker
quotes to Peter who is now pretty dejected after his plans don't come to fruition maybe my favorite line of the episode saying if you're gonna pull a party out of your ass you better stand up Meg steps outside or at least pokes her out the front door to ask Peter if she can go to this party Peter asked did you ask your mother to which Meg says yes and Peter's like alright go have fun
00:50:23
Speaker
He at least talked to your mom about it. It doesn't matter what she said, you talked to her about it. Peter mentions to Brian that the only thing he's really gotten is a literal big ass pinata, to which Brian quotes, I sure hope candy comes out of that.
00:50:40
Speaker
This is a good episode. This was, this was the best, the first good episode for Brian. He had some quips in the first two. I feel like he got a lot more spotlight in episode three. He absolutely did. Peter again, dejected States. Well, I'm a bad father, a lousy husband and a snappy dresser. Just just completely random.
00:51:08
Speaker
He finally comes up with a plan as he reroutes a circus parade to the Griffin home and arrives in the backyard yelling to Lois, hey, look, I'm the two symbols of the Republican Party, an elephant and a big fat white guy who was threatened by change. Oh, my God, kind of messed up out. True. That is still.
00:51:36
Speaker
Yeah, 25 years later, here we are. I like how he reroutes the parade as well. Like you think he's just going to change the sign? Because he does. And he just knocks the parade leader out cold with it. Good job pointing one way and just going absurd with it again.
00:51:57
Speaker
I love the idea too of the, the cartoonishly quick fashion change to put on the suit. Number one, the guy that he knocks out is like half the size of them, but the suit fits. Perfect. We cut away to Stewie who was practicing his Marshall. Suey's practicing his martial arts complete with bottle nunchucks. Good weapon.
00:52:27
Speaker
And we cut to the party that Meg went to as Jennifer poisons the punch with arsenic and a Paul Reiser book. This is the first of quite a few shots at Paul Reiser as well, which is I guess Seth didn't much like his brand of comedy.
00:52:51
Speaker
I outside of like Beverly Hills Cop, which I haven't watched in a while, I wasn't as familiar with Paul Reiser up until he started appearing in Stranger Things. I can only be honest.
00:53:07
Speaker
And aliens, too, I suppose. But I was very confused as to like, why the shot at Paul Reiser? But it's one of those things about Family Guy where it's like, well, why not? You know, it could have been the same thing about Martha Stewart. Like, maybe there were stories at the time of her maybe not being a not so nice person, or maybe it was just like, well, she's nice, so fuck her. Let's just say she's a jerk. It's like you can, so why not? Yeah.
00:53:37
Speaker
And of course, you know, this this group that Meg finds herself suddenly a part of this first reference, of course, of spiking the punch is a reference to the the People's Temple cult. Yeah. A.K.A. the Jim Jones cult and the the Jonestown.
00:54:01
Speaker
massacre, basically, even though it was, I mean, I guess you can call it a massacre. I mean, not everybody committed suicide there, but no. But even the people who did, they were there in a cult like they're not in their right mind manipulated. And yeah. That whole like I've watched a lot about the whole people's temple thing. And that's still one of those stories to me where I'm just like, Jesus,
00:54:29
Speaker
Christ it's just in terms of how that all Played out and I mean you're talking about this ended up in the death of a congressman 900 people I believe it was the like
00:54:48
Speaker
single greatest loss of like american life up until 9 11 basically yeah like and again this happened in the 70s like to me it's just it's still one of the most wild stories out there and we're not even 50 years removed from it yet um i don't know people still think that they're immune to brainwashing and propaganda which is fucking hilarious like after we just saw it like
00:55:18
Speaker
Yeah, it's just, I mean, it's the same as everything. Like, oh, cancer can't happen to me. This can't happen to me. I'm above this. And we have a weird sense of immortality, even though we shouldn't. And that is, yeah, one of the biggest examples of just how
00:55:36
Speaker
Yeah, how ugly that shit is and how not easy but you have to be careful who you follow because you know, you get certain charisma in a certain way with manipulating people buying it, you know, preying on their fears, essentially. And again, we still see a lot of that to this day on grander scales as well, not with, you know, mass suicides and stuff, but it's on very large scales of, you know, call them populists, call them whatever of just
00:56:06
Speaker
people who would blind, like absolutely blind followers who think that person can do no wrong. And it's pretty scary how little we've learned. Makes me think of a certain bald man in Europe. We cut back.
00:56:27
Speaker
Uh, to Stewie talking to Chris about the party and Stewie threatening to kill Chris for every sprinkle he finds. We got to cut away j- uh, cut away gag as Jesus is at a party and turns water into funk. Which...
00:56:51
Speaker
I wonder how many appearances Jesus is up to now throughout the history of family guy, because. Oh, like from conception to now, do the present day. That's it's got to be so many because he's he's there quite a bit. Yeah. We cut back to Meg at the party who has a crush on a guy, but she learns that all of the men have been castrated. Which, you know, a good amount of this as well isn't just the the Jonestown
00:57:22
Speaker
reference to this, but you also get the mixture of Heaven's Gate and that whole cult as well, in which case, yes, a lot of the men were willingly castrated at that point. This was, I mean, again, this is the other whole joke. It's just like, hey, let's joke about Heaven's Gate, which was,
00:57:52
Speaker
Also in the fucking 70s and everything, which is nuts. But essentially how to explain this, a man and his wife,
Discussion on Heaven's Gate Cult
00:58:04
Speaker
really up until the 90s actually, this ended a few years before. How the fuck do you even describe this? This was even more bizarre.
00:58:19
Speaker
Basically, it's characterized as a UFO religion. The central belief of the group was that the followers could transform themselves into immortal extraterrestrial beings by rejecting their human nature and that they would ascend to heaven, referred to as the next level or the evolutionary level above human.
00:58:39
Speaker
And it led to another mass suicide in which you know, this one's famous for the the jumpsuits and the white sneakers and Just fucking weird Yeah, it's crazy that they both happen in the set in the 70s where then in the 60s it was large large amounts of LSD going around and
00:59:07
Speaker
Yeah, so if I'm not mistaken with the Heaven's Gate group, like it started in the 70s, but the mass suicide wasn't until like 96 or 97. That's so crazy. But you're right in that you wouldn't be surprised to be like, okay, when this dude and his wife in the mid 70s are just like, yeah, this is the thing, the drugs you were on to fry your brain and convince yourself of that.
00:59:33
Speaker
And just be like, I'm a mystic who knows better like just and like you said, like the idea of they hit up with quite a few followers, you know, and in the end. In terms of the the mass suicide, it was 39 people. Again, you just. You got you got to be careful. You got to be careful. The thing I could say.
01:00:03
Speaker
Brian's at the party for Stewie, where he gets Seltzer from a clown and mentions needing to find a midget with some gin to complete his drink. While Peter is trying to find Lois to help him get a literal monkey off of his back. We cut away to Stewie, who is trying to recruit other babies for his fight against the man in white.
01:00:29
Speaker
Although Stewie, just to remind you that he is a baby, soils himself. We cut back to Meg, who gets officially recruited by the leader of the cults as the Kool-Aid is passed out. Peter, though, shows up to try and get Meg back to Stewie's party, where Meg quotes, I'm so embarrassed I could die. And a dude in the background shouts, hey, not for the rest of us.
01:00:59
Speaker
Peter finally learns his lesson that Stewie's birthday is more about Lois than anyone else. There's another reference where it stated that Meg isn't worse than the fat girl from the Judds. I had to look that up. I did too. And it is in reference to Winona Judd.
01:01:28
Speaker
J.U.D.D., who is a country music singer that was a part of the Judds with her mom as a country music duo. Still touring today, I believe, Miss Monona Judge, also known as Just Monona.
01:01:54
Speaker
I still have to go back and listen to where Biggest hits to see if I recognize any of them. Yeah, so would I. Because I don't know, I don't recognize any by title. Yeah, she is his only need. I saw the light and no one else on earth. I'll reach number one on the US Billboard Hot Country charts in the mid-90s. So.
01:02:19
Speaker
Or Monona Judd, also catching strays here in this episode. No one is safe. As Peter and Meg look to leave, the group drops dead.
Group Mentality and Peer Pressure in Cults
01:02:34
Speaker
To which Peter quotes, people wanted to fake their own death instead of going to the party.
01:02:43
Speaker
The leader, though, of course, chases after Megan Peter as to not look like a lone nut for trying to transcend on his own. Yeah, because when you're in a group, it's all it's all OK. Peer pressure works.
01:02:59
Speaker
heard mentality. But we're smarter than animals. Don't worry. Yeah, I like I do like the him having to grab that ceremonial white robe and making a big thing out of it. So you get that you you know where it's going. I always kind of like for I mean, it's not so much foreshadowing. It's just slapping you in the face with it. But it's good because you know where the joke is going and you're just excited to see it.
01:03:21
Speaker
Peter and Meg finally arrive at the party. Peter stopped to get a cake with a naked man on it. It was one of two cakes. At least it's not the one with Al Roker and the Hershey Kiss nipples. Al Roker catching strays now. Al Roker was a bigger guy.
01:03:47
Speaker
at the time. You know, he underwent a pretty significant weight loss in the subsequent years after this, but, yeah, Al Roker catching strays, but not the fat joke. That was saved from Monona Judd. No figure. The leader shows up at the Griffin's house as the man in white, as Stewie taunts him, and ultimately shoots him, proclaiming, it's a boy.
01:04:22
Speaker
I tried to think if that whole scene was a reference to something, but I think it's just an overall reference to the way horror movies are shot and thrillers and things like that. It was all very filled with cliches. You hear a voice and then it's coming from a recorder and the mirror thing. I think they just hit all the cliches on the head with that one. I could not think of any specific movie or anything.
01:04:49
Speaker
Stewie bursts out of the Griffin home proclaiming victory is mine. I think it was Chris who then says, and so was this cake. No, it was Lois. Yeah. Was it Lois? Yeah, it was Lois. And then again, this starts the confusion. What the hell? Can they understand what he's saying or not? Exactly. Like she hears him say this, but all the other stuff about
01:05:11
Speaker
everything else. And then there was one episode one where he's like, and you can go to hell. And it's like, you know, no dessert for you. Yeah, you're clearly grumpy. Yeah. Stewie thinks about what he wants to wish for as he thinks internally to the sound of bombs being dropped. But ultimately decides on a disco party as the episode comes to a close.
01:05:41
Speaker
Yeah. I got to say the two disco party references were not my favorite things of all time. That's fair. It's not strong. It's, it's, I guess it's kind of weird, but yeah. And it wasn't, it wasn't a strong ending or a strong use of Jesus, I feel like, but they get much better with their uses of Jesus.
01:06:00
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. I agree. I mean, you know, the climax of it is basically, oh, he finally, you know, catches the man in white. But yeah, at the end of it, it's like, how do we end this absurdity? We just ended in absurdity, which is a go to, obviously. Absolutely. Yeah. But then I get even more absurd with Jesus, too, which is one of my favorite parts of that, dude.
01:06:30
Speaker
He's magic. Yeah. Episode three, Chitty Chitty Deathbang. For me, I'm hovering between a three and maybe a four. I know you said a four. Would I call this episode better than episode two?
01:06:52
Speaker
For me, it's close. There are aspects of both that I feel like are strong, but both have their weak points as well. But I wouldn't say it's a below average episode or even drifting towards like bad.
Rating Episode 3
01:07:06
Speaker
It's a solid episode. So your point as well, I feel like we're still finding our groove after...
01:07:16
Speaker
the really strong debut. Yes, but yeah, they're still and yeah, it's just part, I mean, it's best to good to lead with the very strong one. Yeah, the second one, it's still, it's still good. And I just thought this one had a slight edge, mostly because of the B story, Stewie's B story in this one, I feel like was a little bit better. Like, you know, when you think about, you know, the whole, the, the,
01:07:40
Speaker
his flashback to how he became encased in the womb and the dialogue through that. And then the whole story leading up to how he gets the man in white. I think from not just from the humor perspective, just for me, it's from the whole story and writing and production perspective for sure that I have to. But yeah, I'd agree. I think, you know, one to five, it's tough. I need it in between. So yeah, I'm kind of still between I would give it like a three and a half or I'd give the last last episode of three.
01:08:10
Speaker
But for me, it's kind of close to a four though. Yeah, it's hard. I get so indecisive when it comes to rating things because I try to be way too precise with it. And I just talk myself into corners or in circles.
01:08:28
Speaker
We could even go to like a one through three. Two is good, three is great, a one is eh. Just to concise our scale a little bit, but. And then I'll still be upset. Cause I'm like, well, this one was, you know, I would call it a two, but it's better than this two. Like that's exactly how my brain goes. Yeah. Well, that is it for episode three. Next time up, it is episode four of season one, mind over murder.
01:08:58
Speaker
where Peter is placed under house arrest and decides to open his own bar in the family basement. Yeah, this is a good one. This is a good one. I have high hopes for this. I haven't seen this episode in a while, but I do have very, very high hopes for this one. Yeah, very fond memories. So with that, everybody, we will bid you.
01:09:24
Speaker
We will bid you adieu for this time. Until next time, you can catch Sin on Twitter at C-Y-N-F-T-W-Prod. That's Sin, F-T-W-Prod. And you can catch me on the Twitter side of things at Tookie24, T-O-U-G-I-E 24. Until then, thank you for watching and or listening. We'll see you next time. Sin, the final word goes to you.
