Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, I think this has been a real learning experience
for the Marrish family. People died, but we all grew
a little.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Let's just go home.

Speaker 3 (00:08):
Sure, we'll drive.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
That's our grandpa.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
Dude, I hate my family, kick Ash.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Welcome to going down to South part of the podcast
where we always have our sales of time, and this
week it is very gray in the sky, gray everywhere.
It's great, Dawn, Dando, Nam guy, nice to be here.

Speaker 4 (00:31):
Actually true, park Oh, I drove the whole one to
get only a few casualties.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
I've been in the car once with a guy and
he got me home. Bastard. I thought he would correct.
It was old. We had to go meet up of
our managem comings at a convention and then guys are like,
I'm going to make it a little detour just to
get a donut, and I was like, yeah, sure. Forty
five minutes later.

Speaker 4 (00:55):
You were exaggerating for comic effects.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
I swear it was like at least forty five minutes,
it felt like it. Forty five minutes it felt like it,
but you were on the clock. He wanted to get
home to Nick or there was no because basically I
told Nikola we would be home at a certain time
because she's home with the kids. Kids are only really
young at this point, and Nicholas tired, exhausted. It's the weekend,
and I've ditched her to look with the kids. Right,

(01:17):
And then I said to Nicola, right, we're gonna be
like just ten fifty minutes late because guy just has
to stop by a shot with anything. Because he said,
was just down the street, is what you said to me?
I thought it was said it was down the road.
And then it was like a different city. Felt you were
in Balaad at one point, where do we go to?
I don't know exactly the place was called.

Speaker 4 (01:36):
The place was called pex Road cheap meals.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
And then we got there and what he went there
for they didn't have any left. I remember that, that's true.
I got something else, though, which wasn't too bad anyway.
The upshot is zoomed down a highway.

Speaker 4 (01:49):
We zoomed down a highway, and I got you home
in If not plenty of time, then yeah, the right
amount of time. The point of the story is the
guy's great behind the wheel.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
He's really he's a really good Only eight deaths and
only fourteen million dollars worth of damage, Right it off,
Right it off. Apparently this was based on a true story.
This episode as an actual man, I think he may
have killed ten people driving through a farmer's market. Look,
I wouldn't be surprised it actually was. It was based
on truetime. I was gonna get it up now. Yea.

Speaker 4 (02:17):
Yeah, but one does hear a lot of stories about
Oh I was just enjoying my whopper at Burger King
when all of a sudden a car came crashing through
the front window.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
I was just fishing in the middle of a pond.

Speaker 4 (02:31):
He stepped on my favorite moment. Oh yeah, through a
farmer's market or wherever. But yeah, the upshot is a
car ended up where a car should not be. It
got there at speed, and it was usually driven by
someone who has got a few miles on the meter,
as I like to say, both in terms of their
car and their life, and maybe shouldn't be on the

(02:53):
wheel as much as they should.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
I feel like there's usually three reasons for those kind
of accidents, not just normal car accident, but people driving
into a house or whatever. It's usually trying to get
away from somebody, high speed chase, yes, intoxicated or utterly.
You're not wrong. They all sounds legit. So when you
have car acts, people not paying attention looking at their phone,
but to drive way off track and then smashing someone's

(03:17):
you have to be going at a decent speed and
not looking or losing control.

Speaker 4 (03:22):
Isn't the nightmares, though, because when you hear occasionally that
I was just sitting at home, you know, watching Marriage
at First Sight, having a nice night in all of
a sudden.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Crash, band wallop. A car drives through your Yes, my
first thought would be it's a a bulldozer with the
Gremlin on it. But that's just horrible. It's the last
thing you expect. Yeah. One of the best scenes in
all of Everybody Loves Raymond features Frank. It's a story
about Frank not being able to drive. He has to

(03:51):
do his license or whatever. He drives through the front
of the house. Classic scene. You're a Raymon fanily love that.
But I'm looking up here. It's the case of George Weller,
who on July sixteen, two thousand and three, aged eighty six,
drove his nineteen ninety two Buick Lesaber. Yeah, that sounds good,
westbound down Arizona Avenue in Santa Monica, California, toward the
city's popular Third Street Promenade. The last few blocks of

(04:11):
the street before it ends at the bluffs overlooking Pacific
Coast Highway had been closed to vehicle traffic for the
bi weekly Farmers Market. Oh okay, it didn't end well. Yeah,
so Parker.

Speaker 4 (04:22):
And Signs just took that and ran with it right
down to the Farmer's market there.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
Yeah. Yeah, that's literally if in case you wonder what
this is, guys, Farmer's market, Farmer's mark. And that was
the year of so this was this air at the
end of two thousand and three. That was mid two
thousand and three. That's the beauty of South Park. They
can do stuff that's topical, turned it around real quick.
Feels like they're doing it a lot, unlike elderly drivers.
And it feels like that I'll play a little bit
of I did I did notice here this season in

(04:48):
particular with South Park, they're starting to do very much
stories at are base then announced I think the last
two or three always we've been saying this feels like
you have to live through it kind of thing to
really appreciate it. It was the downloading music illegally. What was
before that? It was the queer for the straight guys show,
that kind of thing. So now it's starting to feel
like they're hit in the ear of we're doing what's topical,
what everyone's talking about right now, And I think that's

(05:08):
what people what made South Park give it like a
second resurgence, don't you think so? Sort of it dipped
in popularity for a while, but then they started doing
parodies of celebrities that were or Paris hit was a
big one. I remember that kind of thing. Hold off
the presses, Yeah, hold off the presses. So yeah, maybe
in Australia wouldn't have had so much impact, but in
America we had.

Speaker 4 (05:25):
Oh no, I'm sure in Australia we've had our share
of maybe not as widely reported and maybe not quite
as tragic as this to this degree. I mean, this
sounds like a real nasty situation. But no, in Australia
we've certainly got senior citizens and elderly people who we're
a driving country.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
We really are. Oh, we'll have to be. Oh, certainly
America is say, America is bigger than us, but we
very much We live on the East Coast and if
you want to get from one side the country, you know,
you're just going to drive through because you're gonna pay
money to fly that far. So it's like so much
money to fly four hours, Well you might as well
is going to stand on the plane for another round.
I mean, I mean, balley someone I want to go

(06:04):
this episode here, So I'm watching this right, call me crazy,
But halfway through did you think this was going to
be turning into a spin on taking away guns? I
thought that's a while planet when they go it's not
that simple, because how often do we from outside of
the state say, just bad guns. It's not that simple,
that's always the answer, isn't It's not that simple?

Speaker 4 (06:26):
Look at something I actually really admired about this episode,
Randy just taking that Yeah, that wishy washy, but actually
not inaccurate stance of Like there's a bit more to
talk about than just like take licenses away from old people.
I mean from a moral standpoint or you know, like
a sympathetic standpoint, it's like they have contributed a lot

(06:47):
to the community.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
Yeah, and you're here day, is it stand Who says? Yeah?
But I just don't want to die. Yeah, I don't
want to I don't want take away your license. I
don't want take away your privileges. But I also don't
want to die. Yeah, you gotta find a balance there.

Speaker 4 (06:59):
You've got to do it with some degree of dignity.
I mean, I think when we think about old people,
and I certainly do because well, I'm an older person.
The one thing that really worries me about getting old
that is a loss of dignity. I have absolutely no
reason being a proud person at all, but I a
loss of dignity for me would just be like fuck this, man,
I'd really rather just check out.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
Your mom is ninety five this year, right, My mum
will be ninety five, yeah, year. And she drives a car.

Speaker 4 (07:24):
She does not that not that often.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
I think it's mainly because of the car than anything else.
She's on the streets straight.

Speaker 4 (07:34):
But she will now say, oh, I don't go far
at all. I mean she will go to a newsagent
just down the street to get her newspapers because Margaret
Mary likes her actual physical man. She's physical media as well.
She likes newspapers. But in terms of like long drives
or anything like that. No, she won't do it because
I think she recognizes she's pretty sharp, Margaret Mary. But

(07:57):
I think she also realizes, look, there's a lot of
traffic out on the road. If one or two steps
off the pace, anything could happen. Also, like something could
happen to me.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
And you can usually tell when it's an elderly person
behind the work because they're usually going slower. Oh absolutely,
And in my opinion is slower can also sometimes be
just as dangerous going too fast.

Speaker 4 (08:18):
The Lovely Luise and I were in a Victorian town
called Nagambi this last weekend for the eight Names. That's true, Dubbo.
We feel like trusted the clown teaching home it a wassle.
We were up there for the head of the river

(08:40):
Loose daughter. Audrey was coxing the girl's crew. They came
in second.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
Well, non, Audrey, that's rowing, playing your home. That is rowing.

Speaker 4 (08:48):
But we wanted to get back fairly quickly because we
were going to a concert that evening. I was driving
back and lou was kind of like past that person overtake,
and I was like.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
You bet, don't you though, When you're in that part
of the you're on a road where you're like, I'm
not I know. As soon as I pull out, there's
gonna be a car coming the other direction. I want
to overtake, but I can't. And the person in the passengers
that you just know this it a going You fucking wimp.

Speaker 4 (09:12):
I aren't you scared? My life for that is always
If we're just me in the car, I'll do it.
I don't care about myself. I got precious.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
Is there any more of a simp moment? Though? When
the person behind you overtakes not only you, but the
car in front of you, You're like, oh, you went, well,
that's like this.

Speaker 4 (09:33):
I mean, this is like a gray dawn. I mean,
you want to be sensible, but you also want to
be There's a lot tied up with driving, isn't there?
I think I think, particularly for men, there's one thing
kids don't quite understand. I was trying to say. They're
asking questions, they're yelling things out, and I'm like kicking
the chair. I'm thinking, I have so much shit, have
already got to concentrate on All these added distractions aren't helping.

(09:54):
How many times have we talked about when we're driving,
just the multiple variable? Yeah, not just you. Everything can walk,
everything fall from the sky, anything, anyway, Sorry, just back
to that story about we were driving back for the gamby.
When I would pass someone, invariably the one who was
the one who was going slower. It's like, we're in
one hundred and ten zoned take advantage.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
What are you doing?

Speaker 4 (10:15):
Yeah, you're going ninety.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
Yeah, and look at him like, okay, fine, I'm not
going to say, but that's the way it was. These
order way I order. So yeah, I would watch this start.
I thought, is this going to be a gun control
It didn't.

Speaker 4 (10:34):
Oh no, I mean I think they had enough on
their plate in terms of things to talk about with
First of all, just the car issue is enough. But
then it spins off or it evolves into the rights
and responsibilities of senior citizens and not just their rights,
but also how we treat them. Yeah, I mean, you

(10:57):
want to, as I said, dignity and respect, but same time,
but weigh it up or balance it with real world
issues where it's like I love you and honor you
and respect you and all that, but maybe you shouldn't
be behind the wheel. And hopefully, you know, we you know,
we ascribe our old people with having a bit of wisdom,
and hopefully they would have that where it's like, you
know what, ANDM a couple of steps off the pace.

(11:18):
All right, I'm stepping back, but I don't know. I'm
certainly getting older, and I realized, you know, I still
value my independence. I don't think I'm at the stage
where it's like I'm driving through a farmer's market, but
I'm thinking about, you know, later on down the lane.
It's like, I don't want to have to be relying
on a public transport if it if it's going to exist,
or you know, someone come arore and say, oh, I'll
take you down to the sheep markets up.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
Well, now I just be pathetic, change my nappy way
you're at it. Well that happens down anyway. So I
was watching this and at the end I thought, do
you think they couldn't think of a creative South puck
Esquay to end it? Because they've done this a couple
of times and it works because they don't do it
too much. But just the wishy washy here's the moral,
here's the point of our story. Here, there's no spin

(12:02):
on it. It's just well, we know we should have
as old people, we need to understand that we need
to give up our lives and not put that responsibility
in our family, and it has like, you know what,
we need to make sure that we respect eaderly and
they walk off happy. There was no really spin on.

Speaker 4 (12:13):
It, no, no, but I think there are some issues
where Parker and Stone won't go. As I've said before,
for the throat, I think they want to I'm using
word respect a lot here, and I think they want
to treat this issue sensitively and with somebody it's not
that simple.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
Because it's not that simple, that's right.

Speaker 4 (12:33):
So yeah, maybe that doesn't involve the army coming in
and just like, well these old people are going to die,
so and anyways, that got dark real quick.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
They're talking about this one for a while.

Speaker 4 (12:45):
Yeah, so I think they thought, okay, well it's a
bit of a cheap move or a bit of a
simp move or whatever to sort of walk that fine
line between the two things. But I think this is
one situation where we might do that.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
Yeah, And it worked for the story they were trying
to tell. Yeah, sure, yeah, no crap people needed for
this one. No people.

Speaker 4 (13:05):
Oh my goodness.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
Favorite moments from this episode I in particularly really liked
all the parodies, all the references I guess you could
say not really parodies and references Jaws and there Halloween
was in there with the body coming down. Oh that's right. Yeah,
Oh forgot about that one. Yeah. What were all the
Red Dawn references in this? Because I haven't seen the
film Red Dawn? Are you aware of what Red Dawn
is about? Yes? Yeah, but look, so what specific parodies.

Speaker 4 (13:34):
Mainly when the kids are at school? And the AARP.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
AARP, the American Association of Retired Persons, yes, which is
now just now it's called AARP apparently a real thing,
has thirty eight million subscribers and one of the most
distributed pamphlets or newsletters in America.

Speaker 4 (13:50):
It has a magazine that comes out of physical magazine
because retired people read megazie. Yeah, but you will see
like members like me of Generation ex sort of going
wait a minut, Paul Ruds on the cover of the
ai AIB magazine or something like that. There'll be some
persons like, wait a minute.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
They maye that's me. Can you call the first time
you had the oh shit, I'm actually getting old. I
had one recently where we're talking about people who are
like twenty seven. I was like, look, they're not much. Yeah, Nicholas,
like they're ten years younger than you know. I went,
oh man, I'm close to forty. Then I am thirty now,

(14:26):
Oh yeah, holy shit. I've always always say that.

Speaker 4 (14:30):
Yeah, it's not really the milestone birthdays that kind of
do it for you, that really do a number immed
at least, it's like I, I mean, I had no
problem turning forty. I had no problem turning fifty. When
you get into like I'm fifty three years old.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
Yeah, it's only seven away from sixty. Oh yeah, that's
that kind of mentality. Yeah. Oh yeah, I'm retiring soon.

Speaker 4 (14:54):
I know I'm gonna have to put on the baseball
caps and put it on back it like, yo, kids,
what's up? But no, I'm nudging sixty.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
He is like kissing a peanut. I have done it before.

Speaker 4 (15:05):
You were kissing something else that sounds like peanut.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
No, sorry, that's gross. So just what are we talking
about here? I've forgot what we're talking about. What were
we talking about? Don? Yeah? What were the references when
the kids at.

Speaker 4 (15:17):
The school the aa RP soldiers land that's basically a
rip off of the first scene of Red Dornya. The Russians.
At this stage, they are parachute land outside high school.
The teacher goes out, Hey, what's going on here? I
think either gets shot or just gets a rifle but

(15:37):
to the face. And then from then on Red Dawn
sort of off of the races Patrick swayzey, Charlie Sheen,
c Thomas Allen or that they.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
Head for the Broadhouse.

Speaker 4 (15:46):
Well, their high school football team is called the Wolverines,
and they rebrand themselves. Is like the Freedom Fighters called
the Wolverines. There is also another I don't know if
it's one of the most famous bits in Red Dawn,
but it is one of the most quoted lines in
the little town that the movie said in the Russians
have set up like a pow camp. They round it
up all the adults and put them in there. The

(16:08):
great actor Harry Dean Stanton is one of the I
think it's I think he's Patrick Swayze's dad or Charlie
Sheen's dad or something. But they sort of sneak in
and they see him at the fence and they try
to snuggle in some food. And so you gotta you
gotta steal boys, You've got to hide out in the
Woods and these Reskies, and then as he's leaving, it's
like you're really blowing their cover by yelling boys.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
He actually says that does it feels like it feels.

Speaker 4 (16:33):
Like a line that just Randy would say, But it
is actually from Red Dawn.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
Yeah. Red Dorn is fun. I mean, it's uh. I
thought it was a serious war film.

Speaker 4 (16:40):
It is to some degree.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
It's not what I thought it was. I didn't know
Sway's here and she were in this. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (16:47):
Yeah, it's it's very much like a right wing wishful
film and fantasy of like the Russians Game, but without
good or Yeah you guys can get it, but with
good old American GrITT and you know, all this kind
of stuff.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
Roadhouse.

Speaker 4 (17:01):
Yeah, essentially, it's it's an odd one. It's trying to
be very serious, but it's also trying to be this
wishful film and fantasy remade not about with Chris with Hemsworth. Yeah,
with Chris Hams was it Hensworth?

Speaker 2 (17:12):
I thought? No? What was the one I had? Batman?
What's your name? Christopher?

Speaker 4 (17:15):
No?

Speaker 2 (17:15):
No, no, christ No, I made the films? Who plays
Batman in those films? Christian Christian Baale Christ Christian. What
what movie was he in? He's in a movie called
Rescue or Rescue Dawn, Yes, which is completely unrelated. Yeah different, Yeah,
I mean that's why I'm get mixed up. Yeah, okay.
I went to the movies and saw that, and I
was like, when I come to a movie to see
a war movie and it's.

Speaker 4 (17:34):
Even really a warm movie. Were you're talking about Red
Dawn a rescue Rescue Dawn?

Speaker 2 (17:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (17:38):
I think it's just them in a p o W.

Speaker 2 (17:40):
Yeah yeah, it was just like what am I doing?

Speaker 4 (17:43):
Directed my friend of the pog Werner Hertzog.

Speaker 2 (17:45):
Oh yeah, that's right, to meet the movie about the
bow camp saying bad man. Yeah, he wanted the baby, Yoda,
I would I would like to see the baby.

Speaker 4 (17:54):
I think my Burner Hertzog is getting better.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
It's not bad. I really enjoyed the other references as well.
What we had alien there Nurstly.

Speaker 4 (18:03):
We had the episode where he's done mostly a lot.
Yeah yeah, yes, yeah, what else? Did you enjoy it?
Because I've got you I was just.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
A parody the references, and I also really enjoyed the
where are the boys? Where are the boys?

Speaker 4 (18:15):
That's a great over, that's a great Randy over reaction, just.

Speaker 2 (18:18):
Screaming, what does that sound? Yeah, that's hilarious. I love that.
I like the Red Dawn lages as well. Also the
old women, the old elderly people realizing that the kitchen.

Speaker 4 (18:33):
What's it called the kitchen, country, kitchen buff.

Speaker 2 (18:35):
Kitchen buffet is close six it's got to be, but
it has to be.

Speaker 4 (18:42):
I liked who's the priest, father Mackie, No, no, that's
mister Mackie.

Speaker 2 (18:45):
That's mister Mackie. Yeah, yeah, my father, I know you mean, yeah,
the priest.

Speaker 4 (18:49):
Yeah, he's sort of telling he's giving his sermon at
the farmer's market at the Moorros. It was like, God's
the sense of human is different to our house.

Speaker 2 (18:56):
God needs complex areny Yeah wrong, not mad of walking
to a bar, gag, that's right, and that whole yeah,
this is the Jaws Somars, right, that whole thing with
the road of course Jaws. Yeah. Yeah. But the music
as well, I just thought that was really well played.

Speaker 4 (19:12):
It's kind of like, oh, this guy's overreacting and all
this kind of stuff, and yeah, we're playing his being
frightened of whatever's around him for laughs.

Speaker 2 (19:22):
And then all of a sudden it's genuine horror where
it's just no, it's very earies and mill upon. It
just thinks he hears something. You know. It's you know
when it's at nighttime and you think you hear something.
You know, nothing's out there. Oh, but you just you
just got to lock the door just in case I
had this.

Speaker 4 (19:37):
We're recording this on well at about the twenty fifth
of March. Yeah, but it's almost eleven am. Yeah, but
before I came over to Dando's to you know, turn
on the mics and start yapping, I'm at my house
so I can hear this kind of.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
Like thunder, but this blinding sky and wasn't very very frightening.
It was very frightening, but it just sounds like a rum. Yeah,
it sounds like yeah, and it's blue skies. I mean,
there's no storm or anything like that. But I'm like,
what is that noise?

Speaker 4 (20:06):
What's they're coming from? It doesn't sound like it doesn't
sound mechanical. It doesn't sound like a truck or anything.
I mean, I'm near the Ring Road, so I mean
I occasionally here is sort of loud truck, but this
sounds more like like a legitimate thunderstorm.

Speaker 2 (20:17):
Something's going on.

Speaker 4 (20:17):
Yeah, like, what is going on?

Speaker 2 (20:19):
Does someone have their car? Is it the is it
the end? I happened sometimes next door here they turn
their car on and then just leave it running like
an old It's like a classic car. It needs to
turn it on the motor occasionally, and it's as sitting
in the driveway for like half an hour. Just remember
the whole house shakes and you're like and then it
just puts them back in the garage. I'm like, what
are you doing?

Speaker 4 (20:38):
Maybe should have taken a dry So yeah, those were

Maybe it's what the rumble was you tummy? The probably

all right, let's get into some trivia. Let's do that's okay.

(22:51):
Remember there are no stupid questions, just stupid people. My
first question for you is how many people died and
how much did it cost? For a news report. I
think it was the It wasn't the moment we're talking
about the construction workers, because that was three people. There's
basically they're saying, they say, someone, so many people died
and it cost as much damage.

Speaker 4 (23:11):
You're talking about the farmer's market.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
One. No, I wasn't the farmer's market. It was a
news report. He goes and there were so many, so
many deaths and so and so million dollars worth of damage.
On one of the newsports, it was fourteen deaths, three
million dollars.

Speaker 4 (23:22):
Okay, thank you for that, because I was going to
ask you how many people were run down at the
farmer's market?

Speaker 2 (23:27):
Nine people? It was nine people because eight were hippies.
That's right, because people are going to hip farmer's markets hippies. Mesney.
All right, I'm just trying to find So what else
in that construction massacre? Three people? And what were run down? Destroyed? Wow?

Speaker 4 (23:45):
I don't remember this bit at all.

Speaker 2 (23:47):
Thinks of the gremlins. Oh a bulldoze, A bulldozer, Yes right, yes, I.

Speaker 4 (23:52):
Do remember, after all, speaking of the farmer's market. There
is a jerky being sold. Who doesn't I.

Speaker 2 (23:58):
Remember reading that thinking that could be a trivial question too.
Who know what is it? Mother's mother's jerky? That's saucy. Now,
mister Garrison is doing a lesson on a famous Mongol mongol. Yeah,
who is it?

Speaker 4 (24:14):
Genghis Car?

Speaker 2 (24:14):
And who is a Mongol Mongoloyd Nicholas Kate? How do you?

Speaker 4 (24:23):
How do you mister Garrison? The gentleman in the rowboat
who was killed by the elderly people drove car? What
is his name and where is he from?

Speaker 2 (24:30):
Oh? Don't know what was it?

Speaker 4 (24:31):
It's Carl Zorn of Pine Junction.

Speaker 2 (24:34):
Pine Junction. And my final question for you is who
is the leader of the a ar P. Who's the
president or the lead?

Speaker 4 (24:39):
Oh? Bill Bill, don't know, Stuart Bill Stewart. Okay, then,
speaking of that, I like one more question for you.
Who fires a rocket launcher? Which which member of the
aar P?

Speaker 2 (24:51):
Apple Gate Apple b missus Applegate? This is Applegate? Yes,
all right, yeah, show they're not fucking around. Not there
to fox spiders. There is trained all right. So The
original edit of Grey Dawn was November fifth, two thousand
and three, written directed by Trey Parker. The episode kicks
off at the Farmer's Market, or'so memorial service for the
Farmer's Market. They haven't taken it down yet because nine

(25:12):
people were run down. Eight were hippies. So Cartman says that,
you know, he doesn't care because eight were hippies mostly,
and I love the here. It's like the opposite who
perhaps shouldn't be driving. So it's one of those topics
where even in twenty twenty five, I don't think they'll
ever have an age where they'll take your license away
because I think it's explained to hear though, like it's

(25:32):
not a right, it's a privilege. Oh yeah, so you're
not taking away a human right, are you. It's not
that simple.

Speaker 4 (25:40):
It's they gave themselves a very good escape hatch. Yeah,
it's not that simple.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
Because it's actually not no, no, nothing really nothing in
government most things they say, just do this, and it's like,
it's not that simple because there are ripercussions on the
other hand.

Speaker 4 (25:53):
Set yeah, yeah, I've always said yeah, and this is
not something that I came up, but this is something
I'm just barred. But politics is the art of compromise.
If you've got a two party system. Yeah, that's why
they that's why they go to they meet in Canberra.
That's you know all that stuff you're watching on the news.
There's not the jump sitting around snarking each other. It's
like I think this, well I think that, Well, maybe

(26:14):
we could give a little bit on this. Okay, well
i'll give a little bit on it. Yeah, give a
little bit, give a little bit of my policy to you,
and eventually you end up with something that maybe doesn't
completely please everyone, but it pleases ninety percent of the
people to ninety degrees of one hundred percent.

Speaker 2 (26:31):
So it's like, okay, well we didn't get everything we wanted,
but everyone's kind of happy. That's that's politics less. I'm
fine with that. Unless the compromise is destroying city to
put bike lanes in, well that's true. But even there,
that's a local reference. But holy shit, that's a local
reference for local people. What the fuck are these bike
lanes for? No one uses them. I know they have

(26:53):
a cadel Evan's bike race, they don't use it. They
shut the city down. What is the point.

Speaker 4 (26:59):
I know they're looking at it going and I know
we can't say it's not that simple. But they're like, well,
we're making up. We're making a positive step in terms
of like reducing our carbon footprint, a.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
Word which no one uses it.

Speaker 4 (27:14):
No one's riding bikes in the city. We're not We're
not Amsterdam.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
People are in their cars for longer periods causing more
shit in the atmosphere because they can't get through because
he ruined lanes to put in bike lanes and circle
reference ran out of the way. There we go that stuff.
But speaking of a complex things, complex irony is what
God needs, as the father explains here mentioned so yeah, God,
God's had his good laugh and then unfortunately another old

(27:41):
guy it rocks up and drives through and kills more people.
Just now dinner time at the Marshal's house, and stand
asks his parents, what why do old people drive? Or
why do we let them? Senior citizens have to be
dealt with?

Speaker 1 (27:53):
Very gingerly stand, we can't just take their licenses away.

Speaker 3 (27:57):
Oh be goddamned if they think they can take my lass?

Speaker 2 (28:00):
Were you?

Speaker 4 (28:01):
Oh hi, dad, fired?

Speaker 2 (28:02):
What you said?

Speaker 3 (28:03):
You want to take draven privileges away from seniors? Will
let me tell you something, pecker Fish, I worked fifty
five years in a steel millstown and I flew spitfires
over Germany and World War two, and I will be
god damned if the government thinks you can step in
and take away my right to drive.

Speaker 4 (28:21):
I think all people should have rights.

Speaker 1 (28:23):
Grandpa, I just don't want to die.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
It's always about the war, isn't it. And I love
the patronizing Yes, Dad, yeah, we understand, Dad. Yeah, but
that's the thing, you know what it is. We're gonna
do it gingerly with uderly because they fought war so
we can be free. So it's like these guys fought
in wars, certainly, this generation certainly.

Speaker 4 (28:42):
Yeah, yeah, quote unquote greatest generation, the ones that actually
fought in World War Two. I don't think the Boomers
I've got as strong a case.

Speaker 2 (28:48):
Well. I did see a great Simpsons me once where
it was talking about you know, back in my day
we did this, and then someone does writes back, fuck off,
Boom he never fought a single war in your life,
and it's like, it's true, my parents never fought in
the war. You may have some boom Is who you
know fought in Vietnam. Yeah, yeah, but.

Speaker 4 (29:05):
Again it's not that simple. I'm pretty sure that a
lot of a lot of people who can script it
to go find in Vietnam probably didn't want to go.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 4 (29:14):
And also that war is kind of like, I don't
think there's really an effect Australia all that much.

Speaker 2 (29:17):
What we do here, this is yeah, this is about.

Speaker 4 (29:22):
This is not exactly stopping the Nazis or the Japanese
or whatever from taking over Australia or the world.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
This is more just like we sucked up. If we
need to help in the future, we're better help them
now kind of thing. You get into war debates, so
shall we let's not listen, But standers pretty much mentions
here like I get all that, Grandpa, I want you
to have your license. I also just don't want to die.
I'd prefer not to. I prefer to live to your
age as well, that's possible. Then we have the guy
fishing at starts pon it. I thought, there's really they're

(29:49):
great at doing horror tray him and here just the
there's no sound, but he just thinks he hears a sound,
and it's like, oh, terrifying. But the old couple, they
are on their way to Country Kitchen Buffet, which is
originally going to be something else, and they changed it. Okay,
hang on, I'll look it up. Yesys here on the
wiki page. It was going to be first cafeteria, but
Trey Matt thought the country kitchen buffet sound it is funnier.

(30:11):
I'm like, it does it does? It does Country Kitchen buffet.
But the old couple they're arguing about the quickest way
to get there. Less mass is less yes, And of
course they drive off the bridge crash onto the boat.
I'm watching this going how are they going to drive
into the middle of the pond. I was like, oh,
that's right. Yeah. They com clearly took him out, and
the news report about how also three workers and a
bulldozer were taken out recently by an old person behind

(30:33):
the wheel and now considering suspending the license for anyone
over seventy. So they have a big meeting here at
the community center, which went on for a long while.
But I think it it's one of those gags, wrote like,
they repeated it and it was really funny, and then
it got funny again.

Speaker 4 (30:46):
It is one of those things where the repetition is,
if not necessarily the meat of the joke, it's kind
of the sub the structure of the joke. Yeah, yeah,
so it gets a laugh, I guess. But it's really
more about making the point.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
Especially them forgetting why they're there, why they're blah blah blah,
seniors of south Berg.

Speaker 3 (31:05):
I don't know about you, but I am mad as hell.
I am sick of having made mental condition coming to question. Right, Lord,
we need to let everyone know we're pissed off and
we're not gonna take it anymore.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
Right, that's right now.

Speaker 3 (31:30):
Anybody remember what we're pissed off about.

Speaker 2 (31:35):
I do think it needed one more. I'm seeking my
mental condition coming into question. So she says that twice
come on rule of threes. Yeah, it needed to end
with that. I think it would have been funny to
ended with that. But they suggested meeting. I don't know
what we're doing. And then yeah, they're just all people
be making fun of all people. Essentially, it's the whole
point of this was. Yeah, but they're going to rally
together to fight the younger people, so they don't want

(31:55):
to have their licenses taken away. Then Randy realizes, who's
that Isn't that meeting? Oh my god, they're all even
the meining at the same time.

Speaker 4 (32:01):
That means when the meeting.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
Gets yeah, sad, get off the streets, Get off the streets.
They're just running everyone all over down and just yelling, yelling, yelling.
I don't mind this because it spelt like one forever
as well, but it was just hilarious. Oh you got off, Joe.
Where are the boys? They're playing street Hockey's playing street
Cartman's a good goal because you've got a sweet hockey baby.

Speaker 4 (32:23):
By the way, I have one more trivia question. What
is the number on Cartman's hockey jersey?

Speaker 2 (32:27):
Good question. I'm going to say sixteen. Oh, you'd be wrong.
It's thirty three. Thirty three, all right, so it gives
me won the trivia this round me. Do you know
I may be wrong. I'm pretty sure that is Goldberg
from the Mighty Ducks, the fat kid from the goal.
Let's see if I'm correct, shall I?

Speaker 4 (32:44):
Because the Mighty Ducks recently got a run in the
Dano household, didn't.

Speaker 2 (32:47):
Yeah. So the kids at the moment, they're going through
ninety sports films and a message you say, they don't
really make films starring kids like sports films anymore, so
they're watching cool runnings with adults but as set for kids,
cool Runnings. Oh pretty much. It's a family movie, the
Sundlock kids. They are obsessed with the Soundlock kids now.
They love it, which is great because a lot of
sixties music. It's really good soundtrack. Mighty Ducks one, two,
and three and one, starring Busy our rookie of the Year,

(33:11):
rookie of the good cast. Oh yeah, am I No,
I might be thinking of something which one. I might
be thinking of Angels in the Outfield, which has Christopher Lloyd.
I haven't watched that one yet, but I.

Speaker 4 (33:23):
Think Angels in the Autfield has like Adrian Brody, Matthew McConaughey,
and McConnaughey.

Speaker 2 (33:29):
Yeah. Really, I'm pretty sure. Look it up. I was
got Joseph Gordon Leavitt. Yeah, that's right. Oh, Glover Man,
they does don't make movies like this anymore. Oh God,
Danny Glover, Tony Danzer, Christopher Lloyd. No, it doesn't have McConaughey. No,
you know that's another thing of major lead that as
Charlie Sheen. Which one is McConaughey. Well, a baseball film,

(33:50):
I think, so Angels in the app Adrian Brady isn't it.

Speaker 4 (33:52):
Yeah, I knew, Agrian Brody was.

Speaker 2 (33:54):
McConaughey is in it. Then d we went on the AARP.
You saw the IMDb page. You'd think if McConn, hay
and Brody in it, they would be at the top
of the car. But they're supporting roles. Yes, okay, yes,
because Tony Danzer was next to Christopher Lloyd. And then
we kind of have so McConaughey, Yeah, just Gordon, don't Danny,
Tony dans, Adrian Brody, William Deere, like what a cast

(34:14):
Christopher Lloyd? You see dan do doubting me here, Hey,
you're the guy that didn't know that. You actually see
the guys get off the raft at the end of Jaws.
Come on, that's one thing I'll have over you forever. Yes,
that's and the Hulk and the whole Holy State. What
was that? I think I said?

Speaker 4 (34:34):
It was too said right, And then you basically spend
half an hour.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
Gome ps Age and the APIs and another one they're
going to see the Rookie of the Year. It's got
the Kid from America and pie Yeah, go busy and
a lot of people from home alone, like John Candy
was in everything. In the early nineties my way, because
they're watching like, that's the guy from Kill Runnings, that's
the guy from Home Alone. I'm like John Candy any kids. Yeah,

(35:01):
here's a name. You put some respect on that name. Yes,
but they're loving sports films. Why are we talking about that?
I can't quite remember. You said my ducks, gold bag look,
goldbeb money Ducks. We're gonna get there.

Speaker 4 (35:15):
We should have worked all these out beforehand.

Speaker 2 (35:16):
Thirty three see the funk that I know that? Why
does my brain remember ship like that? But I can't
remember what I have for breakfast today. No, don't get
behind you, Yeah, don't drive, but it is it's dad brain.
You can't remember anything in recent history.

Speaker 4 (35:31):
I know you've only got a certain amount of bandwidth
in your head.

Speaker 2 (35:33):
Yeah, but why does that ship stay in your mind? Like?
Why can I remember? Because the number of the jersey
of Goldburg.

Speaker 4 (35:38):
Came in an affirmative time when your brain was still forming.

Speaker 2 (35:42):
Okay, so now my brain's just given up not storing anything.

Speaker 4 (35:46):
It starts off as a sponge and it gradually becomes
a little more so like a stone over time.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
I think of how many one time passwords you have
to think of like it's like six ditchit code and
in your mind you're like, I'll memorize that tut I
slid you've forgotten it. Oh yeah, brains like you've ent
I didn't and white clean what your two factor very
yeah yeah yeah verarification. It's like, please enter this curge
two two one six a six two two one six
a sixty entered into their brains like you don't need
it after Yeah, yeah, well your brain's supercomputer. Brain's pretty smart. No,

(36:13):
it's what it's doing. He knows what to keep, what
to throw at. But so they got here playing street hockey. Yeah,
and then they hear Randy just I thought this might
have been a Red Dawn reference of some guy saying
get off the street. It's just South Park being south Okay.
It was hilarious. I love the I think stands Dad's
hit the battle again. But they then see the old

(36:36):
people coming down the street, so they all run and hide.
This start like a horror movie was in that house.
It was. It wasn't jump scares, but I feel like
if I was watching would have been spooked. Yeah, they came
through the door. They come through the other door, chasing
them up the stairs, extends, still making his caze of.

Speaker 4 (36:52):
You should just say they stand, it's not bad, sad bowl.

Speaker 2 (36:54):
Yes, it's a body in the closet hanging down, just
like in Halloween. And then Dad did to tell them,
you know, he said, just I can't drive anymore. It's
not that simple. And then they turn on the light
and classic horror movie the sun behind it. That's the
old couple in the car. How do we get there?
Then we get the news report again and they've now
taken away their licenses. They've got into a three BM
to hand in their license. So then they plead that

(37:17):
they shouldn't be punished. They should be punished, all of them,
because I'm watching this going is this where the gun
thing comes into it? Because it's not that simple, and
it's like we're not all dangerous with guns, just some
people blah blah blah. But no, so it's we need
to get to the grocery store for medicine. The guys
just like so passionizing, well, in this way you need
to go to an old folks. Oh, i'd rather die.
We can help you with that as well. And then

(37:37):
Grandpa tells the kids to get into the car why
is he taking them for a ride. He he says,
get in the car, and they go statistically, we're safer
in the car then outside the car. I can't remember
why they're going for a ride with Grandpa in the
first place.

Speaker 4 (37:48):
Yeah, I was curious about that. I was wondering if
it was akin to if they had some loophole where
it's like, oh, I don't know if you're driving with
a license driver or something like that.

Speaker 2 (37:57):
Of course the kids are not. Yea, we shouldn't have
been driving. Yeah, maybe it's just for Comedy's as good
a reason as any. Yeah, we get a brave heart
reference us also earlier as well. You can take our license,
but you can't take our pride. Then Cartman's praying in
the car. So he loves your guys, except for Kyle
and the Grandpa. Marshal's causing accidents left front and center. Obviously,
Barbrady pulls him over. He says, I'll take you to jail.

(38:20):
You try and do that cuts to him in jail South.
I don't do that gag very often. I'd like to
see you try. But yeah, and then Randy picks him
up and he's very you know, I think someone os
the opicer inlogy and yeah, he says, I'm going to
call the AARP instead, and we're going to get this
ship sorted now. At school, they're talking about Genghis can't
be in a Mongol and Nicholas Cage's being a Mongoloyd
and he sees the AARP outside of which you said

(38:43):
is a director lived from red Down? Yes, yeah, hits garrison. Oh,
people have gone mad and get to Randy's office. They
throw a smoke bomb in. They've they've captured all so
that in red Dorn, they capture all the adults. That
what they do?

Speaker 4 (38:54):
I think so yeah, and then some of the kids
as well. I mean, but you've got a small handful
of who get away and to form a little.

Speaker 2 (39:01):
Bit of a gorilla army. Okay, gorilla army, gorilla combat.

Speaker 4 (39:10):
For the longest time, well when I was a very
small child. It's like, because you'd hear about, you know,
insurgencies or whatever on the news. Gorillas. Wow, they trained.

Speaker 2 (39:22):
Those what are the Planet of the APPEs. I've watched
any of those remakes, but you've tied me. They're great.
I like them. Yeah, it so Planet Dawns.

Speaker 4 (39:33):
Rise, Dawn and War and then there's Kingdom, which is
a new one, which they're trying to sort of do
a bit of.

Speaker 2 (39:39):
A reboot rebooting, a reboot rebooting. That's where we are, people.

Speaker 4 (39:43):
But Kingdom wasn't bad. But those those three are quite good.

Speaker 2 (39:47):
Okay, Bill Stewart, they arrives, takes grab Bay out of
the prison, says they're here to help, going to be
sorting this place out without shady acres. And the revolution
is arm. Brother gives them more guns. Arms, everybody arms,
all the old people, including the one who's laying in
their bed. Why not she takes the gun as well.
They so they're taking back to town. They take hostages
as well. And that passionizing guy from when they're taking
away the licenses there, they shoot his head off. They

(40:08):
blow me the head and good, this is coming. This
is where Grandpa and marsh is kind of like, I think,
I'm not quite sure you're getting the point here. We
just want to have vicenses make we've been killing people.

Speaker 3 (40:18):
Isn't that a little extreme?

Speaker 4 (40:20):
Bill?

Speaker 2 (40:21):
No, we gotta be tough, just like with those damn Japs.
Oh oh boy, Well that's yeah, that's what that's a
vernacular generation of that generation yep, exactly greatest generation a
lot of ways, except maybe when it came to race relations.

(41:06):
arrived from the have been conover, i think they say.
And then the government arrived. I'm sure it's the government
arrived to try and take the town back from the
old folks. The army, the army, the government. Yeah, they
send missus applegate to send a missile to show who
they mean business. They start making all the demands, and
the kids just ask Randy, who's in the in the camp,
why don't we just stop the old people? Why do

(41:27):
we stop them? And I'm thinking, kid, they're armed, but
do you no knows some stuff? I have a gun?
Where's Jimbo these days? Jimbo and Need? That's true. I
feel like this is season one. Jimbo and Ned would
have saved the day right or been blown away? I
missed Jimbo and Ned. We get Jimbo sometimes. But where's Ned?
I die? Didn't he? Maybe he did die dead? Voice? Ned?

(41:48):
That's no? Hid it? Well? Hey dad, stand boys? You're safe. Dad.

Speaker 1 (41:54):
Why is everyone letting the old people do this?

Speaker 4 (41:55):
Why doesn't somebody stop them?

Speaker 1 (41:57):
They've tried to stop them, Son, But the seniors get
so early in the morning, they get everything done before
everyone else is even away.

Speaker 4 (42:03):
They're seeing something about taking over the whole country.

Speaker 1 (42:06):
Yes, and now seeing how early they get up, I
don't see how anyone can stop them. Wait a minute,
you boys, you get up almost as early as they do.

Speaker 2 (42:14):
You can fight them. No, come on, Dad, can't you
guys do it?

Speaker 1 (42:18):
No?

Speaker 2 (42:18):
Son, we like to sleep in. Two have to just
come front and center. They're coming. Get out of here
before they see you. Run to the hills and find
a way to fight them.

Speaker 3 (42:27):
Go boys, Ay Benemin bye bitch man.

Speaker 2 (42:34):
Now the boys are camping their gorilla army, as you
said it, and they're making the plan cuntan and says,
we need to take out the country kitchen buffet. That's
the source of their that's not their Achilles heel, isn't it. Yeah.
If you take that down, you take the whole thing down.
It's like killing the alien queen. So they said, we're
gonna sneaking to the tank cleverly discussed as black people,
Cartlin says, And then they suggest, oh, he suggests cors
Cartman is suggests a suicide mission featuring Kyle ha ha.

(42:57):
I'm kind of over the running gag of him hating Kyle. Now,
I'm just like, I'm over it. It's a bit played out.
It's it's a bit played out, isn't it. Yeah, at
this point it's like it's always Kyle, you know, and whatever.
But stand says, what are just looking from the inside
so they can't get in? I was like, yeah, okay,
we can do that. Then the old people, they're taking
the wall further out. Now they're going to try and
take over the country. And Grandpa Marsh's like, I just
want my license back. What are we doing here? And

(43:19):
Bill wants to wipe out anyone under the age of
sixty five. He's got mad with power here. But they
try to get into the buffet for some breakfast at
six am. That's an early start, right, Is Country Kitchen
Buffet a place?

Speaker 4 (43:30):
I don't think so? Look just sounds like, you know,
just the kind of comfortable place where you know, they
do a good breakfast special and you get bottomless coffee.
They don't move you all along. Yes, it sounds like
they kind of joint.

Speaker 2 (43:45):
So Country kitchen Buffet can refer to both a restaurant
chain known for its buffet style meals and a type
of storage cabinet, both found in kitchens with a rustic
or farmhouse style. But it's just got that. The old
Country Buffet or Country Buffet or Hometown Buffet, depending on
the location, was a popular buffet restaurant chain that face
mismanagement and quality control issues, ultimately leading to its parent
company filing for bankruptcy multiple times.

Speaker 4 (44:06):
Multiple times.

Speaker 2 (44:08):
So that's what AI on Google is telling me. But
then anything else online in the actual Google search, it's
just Southwark. Although the AI just gets ship and it's
like here's facts, and I'm like it though you throw.

Speaker 4 (44:21):
A whole bunch of facts at me, and I'm not
sure if they're facts.

Speaker 2 (44:24):
I can't find anything but country anything that's country style.
Country things used to be better, like tin soup, country
style soup. Oh yeah, it's like in the city style.
That's the way Nan used to make it. What is this?
It's six a m. Country kitchen should be open. It's

(44:45):
not open. It has to be joy windw they're blocked
from the inside.

Speaker 3 (44:53):
No let us in open the door.

Speaker 2 (45:16):
I thought they were dead, but that is all passed
out out of energy.

Speaker 4 (45:19):
Well they haven't, yeh. Didn't get their country kitchen buffet breakfast.

Speaker 2 (45:21):
Yeah. So the government or the army arrives, collect their
weapons and free the hostages. And don't you feel silly now, dad,
And stand says, well, it's partly your fault as well. Dad.
Oh yeah, don't.

Speaker 4 (45:29):
Yeah, don't infantilize somewhere just because they're a bit older.

Speaker 2 (45:32):
It's a he's not angry about what you were doing.
He was angry about how you were doing it. That's
a lot of that can solve a lot of issues
in the world. Oh yeah, that's not what you're saying
to me. It's how you're saying it to me. That
is the issue. This is this is.

Speaker 4 (45:45):
The foundation of Donald Trump's prisons. You know who in
the cards? You don't have the cards. He's annski I'm
not playing cards.

Speaker 2 (45:52):
No one's play what cards?

Speaker 4 (45:55):
English is my second language. But even though I know
you're sucking.

Speaker 2 (45:57):
Up, but they make Grandpa realize here that you put
the responsibility on the family, take away his licenes. Maybe
he should stand down. They all go home and sure,
I'll drive.

Speaker 4 (46:06):
That's our grandpa.

Speaker 2 (46:08):
And I didn't need the stand saying I hate my family.
Didn't need that.

Speaker 4 (46:11):
Yeah, I'm getting a bit jack at that as well.

Speaker 2 (46:12):
I'm getting so sick of them being like they're superior,
of stand feeling like he's superior.

Speaker 4 (46:17):
Yeah, that's yeah, that's our grandpa. Is just a great
line to sort of close out and just have a
little bit of a cliched sitcom music scene.

Speaker 2 (46:24):
Dude, Yeah, it's that, because what's the point of having
stands say that. Is it meant to be that he's
the audience or is it because they've made him sort
of the guy who thinks he's smarter than the rest
of the can.

Speaker 4 (46:37):
I imagine you've got a lot of people at this
stage watching South Park in like two thousand and three.
They're angry, disaffected youth who are like, I'm not watching
the Simpsons, man, that's families this year really speaks to
me and who I am. It's kind of angry and
pissed out of the world. So yeah, Stanley's just being
about beast. For someone like that, it was like, oh, man, grownups,

(46:58):
what the fuck.

Speaker 2 (46:58):
Do they do? Let's just laugh at the ending like
it's just fun, which is typ of fun. That's our
gamber as in the episode.

Speaker 4 (47:08):
Yeah, and that's and that's our great Dawn.

Speaker 2 (47:09):
A really fun episode. Got a good laugh. Yeah, it
wasn't standout one. I'll revisit anytime soon.

Speaker 4 (47:15):
I don't think no, I think you know, maybe there
are three to four episodes per season.

Speaker 2 (47:21):
That's kind of like, yeah, I love it. They're the ones,
and that's the one.

Speaker 4 (47:25):
Yeah, and then there are others that it's not necessarily
making up the numbers. But it's like, I don't hate it,
but I'm going to skip to the next one.

Speaker 2 (47:33):
But I mentioned at the start how I've said this season,
I've done episodes that feel like you have to sort
of live through the moment, right, Yes, the Farmer's market
was very timely, right, but I feel like even in
twenty twenty five, this is a story and a theme.
Oh yeah, that will be forever relevant. You can put
this on in twenty twenty, twenty thirty five and it
will still be like old people will just be doing.

Speaker 4 (47:55):
What do we do with old people?

Speaker 2 (47:57):
Yeah? Never what do we do with old people? Yeah?
