Speaker: Welcome.
Speaker: I'm trying not to copy Casey.
Speaker: Yeah, I know.
Speaker: Let's see, hold on.
Speaker: Hola!
Speaker: No, let's see.
Speaker: No.
Speaker: Como te llamamos?
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Welcome to the Propane Maniacs, episode two.
Speaker: You don't know who I am.
Speaker: You know what's funny?
Speaker: That voice might have completely stemmed from Dale.
Speaker: No, I think the hashtag voice.
Speaker: Oh.
Speaker: You know what I mean?
Speaker: I mean, it is kind of one and the same.
Speaker: It is.
Speaker: Like when Casey says it, it totally is that.
Speaker: Anyway.
Speaker: Anyway.
Speaker: Whatever.
Speaker: We can call it the Dale voice.
Speaker: Can we start referring to Casey as a thief?
Speaker: He's a thief.
Speaker: Oh, yeah.
Speaker: Of course he's a thief.
Speaker: That guy don't have an original bone in his body.
Speaker: Just kidding.
Speaker: We're just dissing Casey on here.
Speaker: Anyway, yes, episode two.
Speaker: That means this is legit.
Speaker: That's what that means, by the way.
Speaker: of our King of the Hill podcast where we're going through every episode talking about it.
Speaker: It's really fun at the beginning of the podcast for sure because the first season is so good.
Speaker: Unfortunately, this is where we would like to announce that this will be the last episode.
Speaker: I'm kidding.
Speaker: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker: All good things must come to an end.
Speaker: But we're talking all things.
Speaker: Oh, so I am Perry Burkham and I'm joined by, of course, Joshua Robinson.
Speaker: That's me.
Speaker: Also known as Doug.
Speaker: Also known as Doug Funny.
Speaker: Because the more I watch Doug, the more I realize that you are 100% correct.
Speaker: You are Doug Funny.
Speaker: He is your soul cartoon.
Speaker: Or whatever you call it.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: I don't know.
Speaker: What do you call it?
Speaker: you know it's like i don't know uh what do you say like spirit animal right you know that's the word right so my spirit tune yeah spirit tune you know who my spirit tune is you said it was hank but i no i know what it is now it's roger you really think you're roger clots no not really but i do i do feel bad for that guy
Speaker: He's such a jerk, but I think he's a jerk because of his upbringing.
Speaker: He's just looking for love.
Speaker: He's looking for friendship.
Speaker: Exactly.
Speaker: You can tell, you know, but also Skeeter's good, but we all know who Skeeter's spirit, real world person is.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Jim Halpert.
Speaker: You know, I, you know, when you said that,
Speaker: I saw it in my mind and I'm like, I couldn't believe it.
Speaker: I had never realized it before.
Speaker: You are 100% correct.
Speaker: Thank you.
Speaker: I'm glad you see it.
Speaker: And you know what?
Speaker: I just watched in the same day, I watched the episode of The Office of the Threat Level Midnight where they show that.
Speaker: Yes.
Speaker: And Jim is, what is he called?
Speaker: Goldface or something?
Speaker: Goldface, yes.
Speaker: And then in the same night, I watched Quail Man with Skeeter as the silver scooter.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: And it's like, it's even more so.
Speaker: Like within a couple hours of each other, it was wonderful.
Speaker: But yes, Skeeter.
Speaker: What's his last name?
Speaker: Skeeter Valentine?
Speaker: What's his last name?
Speaker: Yeah, it's Valentine.
Speaker: Skeeter Valentine is Jim Halpert.
Speaker: They're the same.
Speaker: Anyway, yes, we are talking about Season 1, Episode 2 of King of the Hill, Square Pegg.
Speaker: This episode is really important on so many levels.
Speaker: Obviously, it's the first episode after the pilot, which the pilot is one of the most important, setting up a lot of characters.
Speaker: And we get to dive into Peggy a lot in this episode.
Speaker: And it introduced a lot of characters as well.
Speaker: And it's just a fantastic episode.
Speaker: And actually, probably one of the most...
Speaker: What's the word?
Speaker: I don't want to know if I want to say raunchy.
Speaker: But pretty adult.
Speaker: You know, adult-themed.
Speaker: I guess just because it talks about sex more than anything else in the whole series.
Speaker: It's a Seinfeld episode in some ways.
Speaker: Yeah, but it's not... You know, it's more... It's about sex ed.
Speaker: You know what I mean?
Speaker: So they get away with... Peggy has to teach sex ed.
Speaker: So it's really...
Speaker: You know, I remember seeing Mike Judge, you know, saying, like we talked about last time, the juxtaposition of Hank, you know, with Luann, you know, him, you know, and now it's like Hank can't even deal with the thought of sexual education.
Speaker: Sexual education?
Speaker: Where'd you get that?
Speaker: Washington!
Speaker: Bobby, go to your room!
Speaker: One of my favorite lines ever, by the way.
Speaker: I love the way that he says, Washington!
Speaker: Washington!
Speaker: I know, it's so good.
Speaker: It's so good.
Speaker: So, yeah.
Speaker: So the whole plot is just simply Bobby comes home, says, hey, I need you to sign this.
Speaker: It's permission to have sex ed in school.
Speaker: Hank and Hank is mad.
Speaker: And then Dale threatens the sex ed teacher.
Speaker: So then she quits.
Speaker: Which is really funny if you really think about it.
Speaker: And then Peggy has to teach the class.
Speaker: And so Peggy feels bad because she's a decent woman, as she says, but someone has to do it.
Speaker: And Hank's mad that she's doing it.
Speaker: And then you get a lot of really funny... I mean, the whole episode really is... Like I said, there's no side stories.
Speaker: That's really the whole thing.
Speaker: But you get to see from different perspectives of the guys out in the alley...
Speaker: talking with Hank, you get with Joseph and Bobby and you get with Peggy at the baseball game with the other ladies, you know?
Speaker: So it's, it's really cool.
Speaker: I, I, I like that more focused of a, of an episode.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: It's, um, it's interesting because you, I mean, you obviously you get to see her, uh,
Speaker: convictions as an educator on display.
Speaker: But she also, I feel this is true of every character to this point, and that they're a lot more subdued than they wind up being.
Speaker: They're not quite as bombastic and exaggerated, but
Speaker: She's not at all the egotist earlier on that she becomes.
Speaker: She takes her duties as an educator quite seriously.
Speaker: Again, it's kind of part of her evolution, even though it's so early, I know.
Speaker: But this is taking a stand, doing it.
Speaker: She's gaining her self-confidence in this as well.
Speaker: changing your character.
Speaker: You know, and I think that... But you're right.
Speaker: You're totally right.
Speaker: Like, she definitely has a more laid-back southern belle rather than, like, progressive, you know, woman in this episode, for sure.
Speaker: But, you know, some of her... I guess her tone is different, but I would say that some of her...
Speaker: just the, her way of being is still the same.
Speaker: Like, you know, she's talking to the group of women at the baseball game and, and she's trying to talk to them, like saying, you know, like there's nothing to be benefited from being ignorant about, you know, these things.
Speaker: Um, and, and I grew up not knowing what the do hickey in the, right.
Speaker: And, and she, uh,
Speaker: She's always been sort of, I think, as you said, she's always been a bit more progressive than Hank.
Speaker: But, you know, obviously she becomes, I maybe feel a little more so later on.
Speaker: But where he's super uncomfortable and feels like this is, you know, nobody should be talking about this kind of stuff.
Speaker: She's like, well, no, I think it's important, you know, that they're not, you know, a kid's not in the dark about what's going on with their body.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: And it brings me to where it's they hit this, you know, just like with the pilot, the end of it is, you know,
Speaker: is Hank can't tell his son that he loves him, which is so funny.
Speaker: It's like this guy is so tough, right?
Speaker: I mean, he's a man's man.
Speaker: He loves to work.
Speaker: But when it comes down to it, he can't even tell his son that he loves him.
Speaker: It's really hard to do.
Speaker: And it's the same thing here.
Speaker: It's like when it comes down to it, he's afraid to get any sort of serious with his son to talk about any sensitive topic
Speaker: And that's really funny.
Speaker: And I always think it's like, are you serious?
Speaker: You can't even talk to your son about this?
Speaker: It's really funny that he's afraid to.
Speaker: You see that as it shows in the episode where he at first even says, that's my job.
Speaker: And Bill, oh, you didn't send a woman in for a man's job, did you?
Speaker: And it's like, well, yeah.
Speaker: I got my back out here, Peg.
Speaker: That's his excuse.
Speaker: He's scared.
Speaker: And I think that's hilarious.
Speaker: Because that's a funny... To me, we get it, right?
Speaker: Because it's like... That's the beautiful part about a man and a woman is that the man just doesn't want to have a sensitive topic like that.
Speaker: And it's really funny.
Speaker: And by the end of it, right?
Speaker: To the end of the episode...
Speaker: It ends really great where he realizes how hard it is for Peggy to sit.
Speaker: And what does he say with a bunch of snickering?
Speaker: Yeah, whatever.
Speaker: You know, Bobby keeps saying, what do you think she's telling those guys?
Speaker: That's one of my favorite lines.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Which is a reoccurring line.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: With with Marie.
Speaker: In the, you know, whatever.
Speaker: Why were you dancing with all those guys?
Speaker: Why were you dancing with all those guys?
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Why were you dancing?
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: So I think that's awesome, by the way.
Speaker: Not that it wasn't even intentional, but like that the writers kind of keep it in character with Bobby, which, by the way, the Marie episode, I think, is Bobby's best episode.
Speaker: But anyway, we'll get to that soon.
Speaker: But yes, some standout.
Speaker: So I guess I just, I do like this episode.
Speaker: I could definitely like it.
Speaker: I would have, you know, I grew up, my parents didn't watch The Simpsons, and this is definitely way more adult than,
Speaker: than I could have ever watched as a kid.
Speaker: I mean, I never would have been able to see this.
Speaker: And so, and it would have definitely made me feel uncomfortable because I would have known anything that was going on.
Speaker: So it's, it's definitely, you know, it makes a lot more sense as a grownup.
Speaker: I'm not saying, I'm not saying that the content, but the style of it and the humor of it.
Speaker: So that I, so I just think about that.
Speaker: And I think that, like I said, when I was little,
Speaker: Just the style of the show is just so foreign to me growing up that I just didn't understand it.
Speaker: So it's definitely really dry.
Speaker: It's a very dry episode.
Speaker: There's lots of awkward pauses.
Speaker: There's no background music.
Speaker: You hear a lot of the nature outside.
Speaker: And it's fabulous.
Speaker: It's wonderful.
Speaker: I miss it.
Speaker: They don't have that anymore.
Speaker: Yeah, it's well, I think we talked about it last time, but it's and I don't know if this is necessarily a signature of Greg Daniels style, but like with with The Office, when, you know, some of those really awkward scenes and and because there is no laugh track, you know, because, you know, you're just you're you're hearing some of these awkward things that Michael will say and you're just sitting there
Speaker: And hearing the silence of everyone, like that's the joke.
Speaker: Like that's what's so funny is because nobody knows what to say.
Speaker: And so you do have some of these like awkward pauses where clearly Hank is just befuddled and doesn't have an answer.
Speaker: It's yeah, I mean, that's sort of the genius of some of that stuff is that you just have to sort of sit with it.
Speaker: Absolutely.
Speaker: It's wonderful.
Speaker: And I think you see, you know, I think I mentioned this before, but like sitcoms nowadays have this new style where they just kind of don't ever stop.
Speaker: And it's just a very, very just different kind.
Speaker: I don't really know what started it, but I know they're all so different now.
Speaker: And they're not multi-camera.
Speaker: They're all single camera kind of type shows.
Speaker: It's just interesting.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: So, for characters and spotlights, you know, we'll come up with some sort of whatever.
Speaker: But I do want to... So, this episode, it's the first time you see Dooley, I believe.
Speaker: Yes, yes.
Speaker: And Clark Peters.
Speaker: And it's the first time that you see Strickland Propane.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Hank's office where he's sitting there at the end.
Speaker: So, kind of cool where you...
Speaker: And it's like one of the only times that you see it, honestly, in the first season.
Speaker: I remember that.
Speaker: I remember like the first time you really get to see Strickland Propane.
Speaker: And even Buck Strickland, I think, is in The Company Man in season two.
Speaker: So, you get that amazing 80s styled, what do you call that kind of, like it's like those office buildings and like the trailer, like with the...
Speaker: What's that siding called?
Speaker: I kind of think of it.
Speaker: The wood paneling.
Speaker: It has the wood paneling and stuff.
Speaker: It's just fun.
Speaker: You get to see him sitting.
Speaker: That scene where Hank is taking his boy.
Speaker: He's working there, sitting at his desk working.
Speaker: And Bobby's sitting next to him.
Speaker: It's so like, I don't know if that ever happened to you growing up.
Speaker: But I definitely remember that feeling where it's like, I'm at dad's work.
Speaker: I'm missing school for some reason.
Speaker: I don't know why.
Speaker: But it's just a fun kind of nostalgic feeling.
Speaker: It's funny, sort of, I'll go on a little side tangent here.
Speaker: It happened less with my dad because he worked for the police department.
Speaker: And so, you know, not, it wasn't usually going to be hanging out at the police department all day as a kid.
Speaker: But there were times when I did have to go just, my mom, I had to go with her to her office and,
Speaker: you know usually i'd have like my game boy or something but like you know nine hours with your game boy as great as that sounds after a while uh you want to go do something else you could play through kirby the first kirby like 16 times i think i did eventually get to where uh i think i took my my n64 with me um and that's amazing in her in her office yeah well there you go but i 100 know that feeling though like you're just sitting there and you're
Speaker: You have a parent that's, you know, they're at work, so they have to work.
Speaker: And you're just like laying sort of with nothing to do in the chair in their office and just, ugh.
Speaker: Yes.
Speaker: And then you start saying a bunch of things.
Speaker: And then your mom says, come on, Joshy, can't you think of something pleasant?
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: You know, what's so funny is that I went and – because I remember I think I texted that to you guys a long time, that specific quote.
Speaker: Bobby's like, Dad, do you have sex anymore?
Speaker: And then you hear Hank just like, no response, no response.
Speaker: I know.
Speaker: It's great, right?
Speaker: Because it's like, this is what you get, you know, like when you don't tell him, you know, he's growing up, he's asking these questions, and now you got to face it, you know?
Speaker: And, dude, I think one of the funniest lines is I think is overlooked is...
Speaker: is when Peggy tells, gets off the phone and tells Hank that some, some right-wing maniac just threatened the thing.
Speaker: And then she quit.
Speaker: And then Hank says, Oh, well, I'm sure it was just some harmless nutcase.
Speaker: Like he knows exactly who it is.
Speaker: Don't worry.
Speaker: It's probably just some harmless nutcase.
Speaker: That's so funny.
Speaker: You know, what's funny to me, too, is the fact that Dale would care enough about that to even.
Speaker: I'll do that and then some.
Speaker: Like, it's just it really, to me, just almost seems sort of.
Speaker: I just have a hard time picturing Dale actually caring about that.
Speaker: Like maybe on one hand of like, you know, government, public schools.
Speaker: No, I think it fits right in.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: Because it's like he's afraid of, you know, he mentions, you know, what, you know, what's next on the agenda.
Speaker: What is it?
Speaker: What is it?
Speaker: The bathrooms.
Speaker: What do you call it?
Speaker: Not universal.
Speaker: uh what's it called like the oh you're talking about the ones where it's like anybody uh yeah what is that called like unisex yeah and he's like it'll be a you'll be a long time before yeah is that what he said in the gribble household yeah we need to do that in the gribble household which makes you wonder so like yes they're not using the same bathroom in their own exactly so you know i guess very conservative in that fact right there um
Speaker: And so, yeah, I can see him – like, yeah, it is – I mean, anything from Washington, right, which is – you know, which is – you know, it should be the family's job to teach.
Speaker: I don't know.
Speaker: Yeah, I know what you mean.
Speaker: It's funny, but I just – It's maybe more so just because I feel like Dale is usually like just –
Speaker: It just, he's usually not concerned with what's going on with Joseph's school life, you know?
Speaker: That just, I don't know, for some reason him having enough of an interest or caring enough to do anything about it.
Speaker: I don't know.
Speaker: That part just feels a little weird, but it is super early on too.
Speaker: I love that.
Speaker: Now, faking a bomb threat or death threat, that sounds about right.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: So, well, and you know, I guess we should, I, you know, what, what is that?
Speaker: He says, I'll do that.
Speaker: And then some, and then he goes on his tangent right there.
Speaker: And I'm sure that would probably make a little more sense.
Speaker: Dale, I think I thought, I thought Peggy was your wife.
Speaker: I think he's saying Peggy is the new sex teacher.
Speaker: She just knows what a bar girl knows.
Speaker: What a bar girl knows.
Speaker: And one of the best lines ever of the whole series is, the whole neighborhood could hear you cussing.
Speaker: Is that right?
Speaker: And Peggy's in there practicing the sexual body words that you would teach in sex ed.
Speaker: It's just so funny.
Speaker: Uvula.
Speaker: She says uvula at one point.
Speaker: I never understood that.
Speaker: Why...
Speaker: I think it's just supposed to be funny.
Speaker: I don't know.
Speaker: I mean, it sounds like any other one of those words to me.
Speaker: It does.
Speaker: Yeah, it does.
Speaker: All right.
Speaker: So one of the, you know, it really just had the main cast on this whole thing.
Speaker: You get Toby Huss in there doing his little shot at Cotton.
Speaker: What's your crying about, boy?
Speaker: This is a good show.
Speaker: This is a dang good show.
Speaker: It's, you know.
Speaker: That's also how he taught me about paying taxes.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: That's clever, actually.
Speaker: And so this was pre-Khan, too, which I wonder, you know, you got... Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker: Like, anyway, it's cool that when Khan comes, he's definitely, you know, way more on the show.
Speaker: Toby Huss is, like, in every episode, I'm pretty sure.
Speaker: But, like, he definitely has a lot more lines when Khan comes.
Speaker: Oh, yeah.
Speaker: And then...
Speaker: We had, there is one special guest that I don't know, I think this is her only episode she's on.
Speaker: I wouldn't have ever noticed, but Mary Shear as Gracie, which I believe is one of the moms at the ball game that Peggy talks to.
Speaker: Oh.
Speaker: Right?
Speaker: Yeah, I looked it up and then I forgot.
Speaker: Yeah, but.
Speaker: Because that name is mentioned.
Speaker: Yeah, but Mary Shear, she's in a lot of stuff that I haven't seen.
Speaker: She's famous for a show called Twin Mirror and the Penguins of Madagascar and iCarly and stuff.
Speaker: So I don't really know anything about her at all.
Speaker: But it is kind of interesting to see that she was in this really old episode.
Speaker: And I still find new people on this show.
Speaker: It's like I'm always looking at IMDb.
Speaker: Still, there's always new stuff.
Speaker: Apparently she was also in two episodes of Seinfeld.
Speaker: What?
Speaker: Let's see.
Speaker: The kiss hello.
Speaker: She was Joan, which I'm not sure.
Speaker: I don't know if that's the woman.
Speaker: She was probably one of the apartment people then.
Speaker: He doesn't want to kiss.
Speaker: Yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker: Real quick.
Speaker: Interesting.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: Also voiced some characters.
Speaker: 14 episodes of Hey Arnold.
Speaker: Oh, there you go.
Speaker: I'll have to revisit that too.
Speaker: I haven't, I never watched hair.
Speaker: I mean, I, you know, again, Oh, didn't have to do this.
Speaker: After you get done with Doug, you got to hit Arnold.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: We'll go to Harold.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: But, uh, yeah.
Speaker: So I thought that that's kind of fun.
Speaker: So, um, yeah, pretty awesome episode.
Speaker: Honestly, it's one of those episodes where like, like every single line is just gold.
Speaker: I just love it.
Speaker: Before we move off of the cast though, it's still so weird.
Speaker: Steven root is still uncredited.
Speaker: Yeah, I don't understand.
Speaker: I don't know why if that's a contractual thing.
Speaker: I need to go dig out my DVDs and see if I can't find if there's anything.
Speaker: I mean, you would think surely he would be mentioned on those, but like on the back of the case or the box or something.
Speaker: But that's just so strange.
Speaker: It is weird.
Speaker: It's so weird.
Speaker: Yeah, I don't understand why.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: I did notice an animation mess up, which is just kind of, it's just such a small thing.
Speaker: But if I'm ever going to talk about it, it's going to be right now, which is when Bobby and Joseph are playing with their toys.
Speaker: When you want to play with Chandler or whatever, Bobby and Joseph are playing and Bobby's toy truck is like sitting on his leg, but it's like floating there.
Speaker: And it's just kind of funny.
Speaker: I just noticed that on my recent watch through.
Speaker: So on that note, have you never watched Friends?
Speaker: No.
Speaker: Okay, so this joke may not hit the same for you then.
Speaker: But when Bobby asked Joseph if he wants to play with his Chandler doll or his Ross doll, and Joseph says, can I shoot him full of BBs?
Speaker: And Bobby says, yes.
Speaker: He says, then Ross, which is hilarious to me because I feel like that's pretty much in line with how everybody feels about Ross on Friends is that he's just like the most unliked character on that show.
Speaker: Ross is?
Speaker: Yes, that's David Schwimmer's character.
Speaker: Oh, I think he's hilarious.
Speaker: He's so annoying.
Speaker: He is?
Speaker: He's so annoying.
Speaker: Interesting.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: That's funny because I thought that everyone loved him.
Speaker: I thought everyone loved him.
Speaker: I mean, I think... I think he's hilarious.
Speaker: Whenever I see snippets of him, I think he's hilarious.
Speaker: But yeah.
Speaker: I mean, as a character, he has funny moments, but he's just so whiny.
Speaker: And so it's funny to me that Joseph is going to base his selection of which friend's doll he's going to take based upon whether or not Bobby will let him shoot it full of BBs.
Speaker: Amazing.
Speaker: So I don't know.
Speaker: I just got a real kick out of that.
Speaker: That is good.
Speaker: That is something that I've, you know, I kind of figured, I guess it kind of points to that a little bit, but it's fun to hear that.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: I also, I don't know if you caught toward the beginning when Peggy walks into Bobby's room and he's sitting on the bed watching television.
Speaker: Did you catch the music?
Speaker: No.
Speaker: What is it?
Speaker: I mean, maybe I haven't.
Speaker: So it's very clearly supposed to be Barney.
Speaker: Bobby is supposed to be watching Barney apparently.
Speaker: Cause you can hear him say, Oh, I like you.
Speaker: You're my friend.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: I just find that so funny.
Speaker: Cause he's more like 11 years old watching Barney.
Speaker: That is really funny.
Speaker: But I feel like we all, I feel like, you know, like 11 years old snow day, you're at home, nothing going on.
Speaker: Nick jr's on TV.
Speaker: I'm too old for all the shows on Nick jr, but I'm still going to watch them.
Speaker: Like, there you go.
Speaker: It just, it, it kind of, that tracks.
Speaker: Yep.
Speaker: There's the Price is Right, and then after that, Soap Operas or Barney.
Speaker: There you go.
Speaker: So very good.
Speaker: So, yeah, wonderful episode of King.
Speaker: And, yeah, I think it's fun, all these setups of everything.
Speaker: But, yeah, man, keep on trucking with this.
Speaker: It's fun to go through all these...
Speaker: One more thing I want to point out before we wrap up.
Speaker: Did you happen to notice the paper that Peggy is grading at the beginning of the episode?
Speaker: No.
Speaker: It's really weird.
Speaker: So it's got somebody's name on it.
Speaker: Jay Brown.
Speaker: Obviously, I don't care.
Speaker: It's not anybody important.
Speaker: But the date on it is really strange to me.
Speaker: It says December 19th, 1996 is the date on this book report.
Speaker: Oh, weird.
Speaker: And...
Speaker: I mean, it's weird in a couple of reasons because like, well, I mean, obviously I guess they, um, actually are producing the show obviously before, uh, it actually debuts or the day that awful, of course, that's the dumbest thing ever.
Speaker: But, um,
Speaker: Yeah, but they usually make calculated guesses for when it's going to be.
Speaker: Right, right.
Speaker: So there's that, but it's like, okay, that's what, a week or less than a week before Christmas Day?
Speaker: And they're out.
Speaker: I mean, I realize it's Texas, but Bobby's having a baseball game.
Speaker: Yeah, that's true.
Speaker: That's very true.
Speaker: So that part's a little strange.
Speaker: That is weird, yeah.
Speaker: Nice catch.
Speaker: I love those little catches.
Speaker: And also in 1996...
Speaker: I don't know how they decide the substitute teacher of the year, because usually it would be like, you know, like 95 to 96 you would have because you have the school year that spans over.
Speaker: Right now.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: And so but she's only ever like for the year.
Speaker: So is that like what this came out in 97, though?
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: So I bet.
Speaker: I don't know.
Speaker: There's probably just a mix up there.
Speaker: I don't know.
Speaker: Well, I just feel like, is she, so is she substitute teacher of the year?
Speaker: Is that like 1996 being the end of, right?
Speaker: I don't know.
Speaker: Anyway, just something that sort of perplexed me, but I just thought that was interesting.
Speaker: I love, I'm always so interested in the production of, of, you know, of any television show, just how they put it together.
Speaker: What's going on.
Speaker: You know, have you ever seen how they, how they,
Speaker: like like the like the stuff is painted like these people the cells the animation cells i think they're done and i think they might be done in a different country but they're painted in america these were and these people that's their jobs and they you know they paint the back of them and i remember they take a big stack of them and just go home like this is on one of those documentary things like they go home and paint behind them and pretty cool um
Speaker: How it's done.
Speaker: And I just always love thinking about that.
Speaker: And how could they conceivably produce this show?
Speaker: There's so many moving factors.
Speaker: Just the idea that they could have a written show.
Speaker: And how do they edit it down to the exact amount of seconds they need?
Speaker: That's why I think you see some of those weird...
Speaker: really weird takes where it might switch really early, really fast than you'd think.
Speaker: And I think it's because they're cutting off seconds at certain places to fit for the ad stuff.
Speaker: So it's just really interesting to me.
Speaker: There's that.
Speaker: And it's funny you mention that because I feel like I have noticed sort of the opposite thing with more recent episodes of this.
Speaker: And I say more recent.
Speaker: I haven't really watched The Simpsons and probably...
Speaker: I was keeping up with it three or four years ago, sort of.
Speaker: But there were a lot of times.
Speaker: Oh, you poor soul.
Speaker: I guess I had nothing better to do.
Speaker: There were a lot of scenes where it's like it would hold a lot longer.
Speaker: It's like the joke and the conversation had run its course, had come to an end, and then there was just like this pause of a few seconds where it's like you would think it would transition.
Speaker: It was like something else, and it just sat there.
Speaker: There's a couple parts in Seinfeld that does that too, where they're kind of just sitting there looking at each other.
Speaker: And it's like really weird, you know?
Speaker: It's like for a couple seconds, it's a little longer than you think, but it's totally fine.
Speaker: That's show business.
Speaker: It's industry.
Speaker: Josh, it's industry.
Speaker: I cannot wait.
Speaker: Yes, me neither.
Speaker: It's funny.
Speaker: It'll be fun to talk about when the really big special guests coming up, which I believe is the next one, or the fourth one.
Speaker: Anyway, we'll get to that.
Speaker: Straight Arrow.
Speaker: Or the straight arrow.
Speaker: So after that, yeah.
Speaker: Hank's got the williest.
Speaker: I mean, I feel like I'm going to be saying that.
Speaker: Or the straight arrow.
Speaker: Dude, or the straight arrow is like one of the greatest.
Speaker: So it's classic.
Speaker: It is.
Speaker: It is.
Speaker: Anyway, but square peg is also a classic.
Speaker: So anyway, thanks for joining me this week, Josh.
Speaker: We got to bring on Travis or Casey or Alex.
Speaker: Oh, yeah.
Speaker: I would love to bring on.
Speaker: You know what?
Speaker: We need to bring them on.
Speaker: on Peggy the Boggle Champ, episode nine, for sure.
Speaker: That's his favorite episode.
Speaker: We always talk about that.
Speaker: Is it really?
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: So we'll get him on.
Speaker: And maybe before.
Speaker: But we got to get Travis on.
Speaker: Special guest appearances, and we have special guest appearances.
Speaker: Yeah, we do.
Speaker: Yeah, we do.
Speaker: And we got to get the cast on.
Speaker: I'm going to get some part of the cast on.
Speaker: It's going to happen.
Speaker: It's going to happen.
Speaker: I'm going to figure it out.
Speaker: It might end up being Mary Shearer.
Speaker: So you were Gracie.
Speaker: Tell us about that.
Speaker: That would be funny.
Speaker: Now, how was Hank on set?
Speaker: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker: Now, was it hot sitting out in those bleachers?
Speaker: How did you take the film?
Speaker: Anyway.
Speaker: But yes, thanks, Josh.
Speaker: We'll see you.
Speaker: We'll see everyone in a couple weeks or next week.
Speaker: One of those things.
Speaker: I think it'll be a couple weeks.
Speaker: I can't remember how we're posting.
Speaker: But anyway, just keep up.
Speaker: And oh, follow us on Twitter.
Speaker: Propane Maniacs, right?
Speaker: Propane maniac.
Speaker: It's not the propane.
Speaker: It's just right.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: So it's just at propane maniacs.
Speaker: Beautiful.
Speaker: And are we, you know what?
Speaker: I think I set up an Instagram too.
Speaker: I haven't done anything with it.
Speaker: I don't even know what we put on there, but.
Speaker: Put our episodes on there.
Speaker: I don't know.
Speaker: I guess we're going to be on iTunes or something.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Probably need to look into that.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: We should look into that.
