(00:00):
Speaking of the Hill is brought toyou by the four Pinker Discount Network.
This is a song I wrote along time ago. Well, I know
a girl with the bird of legs. She's a girl who can fry my
egg. And her name is pegHee well Pega pe Peggy pegg a legal

(00:28):
hoo, peg my pig hey Well, I love you and I love you
Piggy peg Hella. Then it justsort of goes off into a Buddy Holly
riff. Oh hey, yeah,oh, I didn't realize you were there
here, Bobby, go practice.Are you sure it's okay for you?

(00:51):
You know, I was head overhere to knock you six ways from Sunny
with that guitar. Then I gethere and you're playing that whole song years
and out. I love you,proplay man. What you're listening to?

away from attaining inner piece. Solet me get back to that way,

(01:53):
of the Hillmailback at gmail dot com. But the whole inner peace thing,
guy, have you ever meditated?I've never meditated, I've never I've never
boy into it. But I justsort of think, is it just all
in your head or is it actuallysomething that you can achieve it is literally
in your head? Or trying toget out of here? Yeah, actually,
I mean it's something that I havetaken a stab at on a few
occasions. I would like to besomeone who meditates, or like to be

(02:16):
someone who has that kind of balancein their life. So I'll try it
every once in a while, butit is very difficult to sort of find
that zen state or that flow state, or whatever state you wish to be
in. It's a tough one,certainly. And it's different heart of these
days when you've got no podcasts outthere, such as you know, Speaking
of the Heel and talking to Signfouledand you know four Figured disc and all

(02:36):
these podcasts that you just there's somuch content out that you want to listen
to. It's hard to sort ofswitch off from the from that demand that
you got out there, all thecontent you can consume. It's like,
I want to consume this, butlike it's hard to sort of switch off.
I just can't do it, saidDavis. You are shilling like a
madman today. You are absolute sprukingmachine. But you're right. I mean,

(02:57):
now, look, when there isa wealth of great content out there
to put it into your ears,why would you try to keep your head
sort of empty and serene when youknow, it could be full of our
voices this episode, What did youthink. I knew what I was going
to end because they'll paint it becauseI'm painting Hank in such a he a
selfish light, and it wasn't.It wasn't like on joke ass joke ass
home levels. But there's just sortof things where I'm just like, you

(03:20):
know, making Peggy pack the clubsand you know, moving Bobby away from
the air but I know it's ajoke, but moving Bobby away from the
air bags and things like that,and annoyed that Bibby Bobby ruined his chance
to to when he met Willie Nowson, things like that. I'm like,
he's up, buddy. I knewthey were eventually going to end it with
you know, Hank sees the lightkind of deal. But what do you
think overall this episode? I thoughtthey definitely it was a different side of

(03:40):
Hank that I don't think we've quiteseen. We've seen him have to stain
for the world, but it's almostlike he we haven't seen him yet,
have sort of not paying no attentionto his family and his loved ones and
putting other priorities ahead of his lovedones. It was something that actually made
him not more relatable to me.But I felt I felt like it was
an interesting swerve given that the firstfew episodes that we've seen of King of

(04:03):
the Hill, Hank doesn't seem thatenthusiastic a person about pretty much anything.
I mean, he's very much ago with the flow kind of fellow.
It seems like, well, thisis life, and I'm just gonna have
to sort of go along with itand fun and you know that occasionally something
will come up that will, youknow, rub him the wrong way or

(04:24):
bemuse him or bewilder him or whatever. But yeah, define to come across
something it's like, oh, wow, this is something that he's really into.
I think. Yeah, maybe theydid stretch the comedy of that a
little bit far, given the toneof the show that we've seen so far,
but I also found it kind ofrelatable. I mean, how would

(04:45):
you react of you in the presenceof your hero, and you know,
things went a bit askew. DoI have a hero? That's the thing.
I used to have heroes. Idon't know. Do you have Do
you have Bruce Willis to be yourhero? Right? Oh? I don't
know about my hero certainly someone Imight. Yeah, it's weird. I
think as you get a bit older, heroes are not necessarily something you have.
You maybe do have role models,but I don't know. Maybe heroes

(05:09):
are the kids. For me,it was more a case I've related to
the bobby playing with the guitar aspectand touching his shit. I as a
father had to learn I've just completelychanged. Now. There come a point
where I just went, They're justfucking things. They're just things like and
Peggy sums it up perfectly. Shetakes the nicolo approach. She's like,
you know, just some wooden,a bunch of strings, and I know,

(05:30):
I know you have that emotional connectionto it. And I completely get
I have emotional attachments to physical itemsand things around the house. Yeah,
but it just comes a point intime we just have to sort of realize
it's not that important. You know, They're just things. Your life will
go on. If something bad happensto these things, you might not like
it at first, but life goeson. This is where we are completely

(05:51):
different, sir, And this iswhy I never had children. Grubby fingers
off my shit. The thing thatis what I do now is Alliot likes
the cool shit they have around thehouse, whether it be action figures or
things like from my childhood. Idon't let him play of those ones I
buy him, like the cheaper versionsfrom Big w I'm like, hey,
these are Alliot's toys. These aredaddy's ones that you meet look but never

(06:12):
touch. Look, don't you getten see that red rope? Do not
go under that rope? Yeah,he enjoy your funker pop. Yes with
my pops. Though. I justlooked at these and went these things they're
just worth nothing. So I justthrow them all a big barrel on the
kitchens player and have a great time. And I actually get more joy now
out of now that I've relaxed morewith my things like that. I granted,

(06:34):
Betsy's obviously worth more money than justa fucking action figure, but I
get enjoyment out of seeing Alliott playwith him. It's just like, ah,
it's like giving them a new life. It's just I don't know,
my perspective has changed somewhat. OnYou don't have to meditate now you've reached
a state of peace of mind.You don't need to sit on the couch
and go on because you know,you've found pleasure and fulfillment and joy and

(06:59):
meaning in you know, letting yourkids play with your shit. And then
I have to scoop shit out ofa bath so, oh my god,
that's that's a Nicola job. Peggypacks the clubs in the back of the
car, Nicolas scoops the shit outof the bathtub. But yeah, overall,
I thought this is a fun episode. I was surprised at the guest
stars they had so early. Ohyeah, absolutely, I mean, I

(07:24):
mean, I think it was fairlyobvious going. It's like, oh,
yeah, we got Willie Nelson.That's great. You know who doesn't like
Willie Nelson will talk a bit moreabout that. But yeah, later when
um, well we're coming to theend. But when Dennis Hopper showed up,
I'm like, well, that person'snot doing a bad Dennis Hopper and
person then a bit more dull.I think that might actually be Dennis Hopper.

(07:45):
I might have to wait around forthe final credits. Guest star Dennis
Hopper, well done, Mike Judge. When and Greg Daniels were one king
in the landing, Um yeah,a couple of classic outlaws to guest star
in this episode. Where was DennisHopper's popularity in nineteen ninety seven. Yeah,
that's interesting because you know, alittle bit of a history lesson about

(08:05):
Dennis Hopper. He was a sortof a young star in the in the
fifties. He appeared alongside James Deanand Rebel Without a Cause. No shit,
I did not know that. Yeah, yeah, I had a supporting
role in that and a few otherthings, and he was kind of viewed
as one of those uh, youknow, angry young method actor types along
the lines of James Dean and youngMarlon Brando. Yeah, yeah, not

(08:28):
didn't quite hit their hearts, butthen reinvented himself in the in the late
sixties and of course became one ofthe big drivers behind Easy Rider, one
of the you know, one ofthe films that kind of changed Hollywood.
So he became known as like,oh, well, yeah, this here's
a bit of a maverick talent andall that kind of business. Unfortunately,
Dennis's appreciation for drugs and booze gota hold of him for a little while,

(08:52):
and you know, he worked semiregularly, but it was like,
ah, here's a guy who hadpotential, but he couldn't really couldn't really
hold on to the rains all that. But but then, you know,
in the eighties he had a bitof a comeback, and especially in a
really fantastic movie called Blue Velvet,in which he played just the most evil
man alive, okay, And youknow, he he got the role by

(09:16):
telling the director David Lyndy goes,I know you're looking for someone to cast,
you know, someone to play thischaracter. Frank. I am Frank.
It's like and if you see BlueVelvet and you see Frank, you
go a bit worried about that.And that got him back in the door
essentially. You know, he sortof worked fairly regularly from the nine out.
So around the time around ninety seven, he was like, well he'd

(09:39):
he'd had a you know, apretty decent nineties. Reinvented himself as a
villain. He was in water Worldand most notably he was in Speed.
As a child of the nineties,I knew him as the bad guy in
movies. He sent always be playingthe bad guy. Yes, sorry,
that was a bit of a longjourney, but yeah, he was,
yeah, pretty well established in Hollywoodagain, as you know, someone who

(10:01):
occasionally worked behind the camera, buthe was more like, well, yeah,
he's a guy with a bit ofintensity. Um, a good character
actor. Yeah, so yeah,things like Speed Water World, True Romance,
The Great Karen Quentin Tarantino screenplay directedby Tony Scott. I was gonna
say that there was something I'm knewhim from and that's it. That's the
one, yeah, yeah, oneof the best scenes of all time between

(10:22):
him and Christopher walk and it's justMarms. That's the one where he drops
the word that we should mention hereon his podcast, right it does indeed,
Yes, if you've got a sensitivedisposition, that'll probably burn the it'll
do a hurting on your ear drums. But yes, didn't Stopper. Good
guy. But it was just itwas interesting to see him playing almost just
a bit part in this episode.Like you think if the Simpsons even even

(10:45):
ninety seven he got Denis Hopper,they would have worked him in throughout the
entire story. He was just ohyeah, there's Dennis Hopper. Oh yeah,
yeah, yeah. Now I'm tryingto recall if the bit with boom
Hower and Bob Dylan came before that, after that, or there were bits
and pieces before, because like yougot someone doing a Bob Dylan impersonation.
I'm guessing not it's Bob. Iguess it's not Bob Dylan. It wasn't

(11:07):
Bob Dylan. No, no,no, So that may be thinking,
oh that really Dennis Hopper. Um. I don't know. He may have
just been a fan of Mike Judge. Or maybe maybe he just caught a
cab with Willie. Willie is hey, p my pal Denis is here?
Can he come on? Ye?May well be the case. Do you
know? It was interesting was thatthis episode was actually written by Johnny Hardwick,

(11:31):
the voice of Dale Gribble. Idid see that, Yeah, yeah,
now did um? Did Johnny,you know, get beyond the get
on the keyboard much and write amany or any other episodes? Do we
know? Let's look that up,shall we? Writing credits one, two,
three, four or five, sixor eight episodes he wrote off King
of the Hill and it seems multitalented gentleman that Hardwick? Well done?
Yeah, I know. We alwayscompare it to The Simpsons because it's just

(11:52):
it's just what you do when you'retalk about animation from the nineties. But
to have faith in your cast andto that you're the creative the show might
Judge has faith in you to writean episode. That's pretty cool if you
asked me, because there's no wayin season one of The Simpsons, James
L. Brooks and Graining are lettingyou know, Dan Castlin at it write
an episode of The Simpsons. No, no, absolutely not. Yeah,

(12:16):
you're the more time you spend withsomeone, the more you realize that they've
got, you know, a fewfew things in the toolbox. But yeah,
I mean it speaks volumes about thegreat creative community that the Judge and
Daniels have established here. Yeah.One thing I did read online was that
apparently they never acknowledged Hank's love ofWillie Nelson going forward, which I thought
was really odd because they really hammerat home here. It's like a hero

(12:37):
of his and you know, hehas dreams about him and things like that,
and it's never mentioned since. ButI did also see that one of
my Judge's inspirations just in life ingeneral, is really Nelson. So I
guess he just wanted, you know, any chance to get really Nutson on
the show. He's going to makeit happen. And at the time,
it kind of felt right for Hankto to be that guy because he was
the voice of Hank. I guessI'm not too sure, but maybe there

(12:58):
was a point where they sort ofwent when Hank really like Willie. You
know, and various fans have writtenonline in forums and stuff that they like
to think that Hank realized who reallywas and what he represents and how he
passes the time and realized, oh, wait a minute, maybe it's not
someone I should be looking up to, because you know, with the whole
week thing, I'm surprised I nevertouched on that in this episode. Really
did they the whole drug side ofthings. I guess, yeah, it

(13:20):
is a little bit odd, itwould have been. I guess it would
have been kind of cheap, butit's still it's it's so much of who
he is. He's kind of synonymouswith his appreciation for weed, and you
know, he's a sort of advocacyof legalization and all that kind of stuff.
I don't know, maybe it wouldhave been too obvious a joke,
I think. I mean, Iwas really happy with the way Willie Nelson

(13:43):
was folded into this into this episode. It felt organic, it did so
it kind of felt forced in thesense that, you know, he owned
this golf course right where in Irelandapparently, but it's still the way they
sort of met felt somewhat organic withI'll just playing golf and happened to be
there at the same time and thatkind of thing. Well, I mean,
I'm not the hugest Willie Nelson fanI'll follow or anything like that.
I mean, I've got a reallystrong affection for him, like you have

(14:05):
for someone who's just been part ofthe scenery or been part of the furniture
for goodness knows how long, andyou know, someone who just has a
really long and varied career and justan enormous body works. I mean,
I've got that admiration for him.And I agree because I've read so many
people saying I don't know too muchabout about Willie, but apparently like he's

(14:26):
credibility, like he's just he's alwaysstay true to who he is, and
you know, you know, hejust seems like a very genuinely incredible person.
Yeah, that's yeah, That's whatI was trying to get to there,
was because he doesn't necessarily seem likesomeone who's like, you know,
Willie Nelson lives in that huge mansionon the Hit on the Hill in the
gated community. He only comes outevery once every you know, three months

(14:50):
or something. It's like, Ican picture Willie Nelson as just being a
guy who lives in a very niceplace in a relatively small city. I
can imagine living him somewhere like Austin, Texas or whatever, and you know,
you'd go down the local level andOregon, Yeah, you go down
the local chili joint. You know, Willie comes out in every morning for
a bowl of chili and a cupof coffees, like of course he does.

(15:13):
Yeah, So that's what That's whatstrikes me as him being really good
casting for this. He's big andlegendary, but also kind of down to
worth, humble and approachable it seemsthat way anyway. So I think he's
a really good casting choice in thatin this regard, even if as we
as we discussed, like, yeah, Hank doesn't know quite what to make

(15:35):
of him a little later on,and maybe that's the reason we don't see
that much of him later on.What do you think of the Peggy story
as well, where she was jealousof Betsy. I can relate. I
mean I can't relate on a personallevel, but I can see where she's
coming from that. You know,her husband of always years, you know,
he's just paying more. It seemsto be not paying her any attention.
It's almost like the Home of MargeDynamic, but in a different light.
I was thinking about that, andI'm wondering if you know, Judge

(15:58):
and Dan maybe got notes from thenetwork about no, we need to not
spice up their dynamic or something likethat. But I mean, over the
first few episodes, it just seemslike there are a couple who are very
comfortable with one another. Of course, they're going to have their disagreements and
their occasional kind of a little bitof friction. Yeah, this episode seemed
more like a traditional men and womenjust don't understand each other kind of do

(16:22):
or you know, they react differentlyto certain things, which feels very sitcomy,
very TV comedy. Like I thoughtit did it pretty well, but
it seemed quite different to what hasbeen established. And I mean speaks volumes
about the show and about how wellit established its tone and its characters and
its mood that even just a fewepisodes in, we're kind of like,

(16:45):
well, now this is the waythat Hank and Peggy interact, This is
how they are. You've got thefeeling you've already known them even though you've
only spent less than two hours intheir company. It's pretty incredible really.
And also on that note that thefriends as well, you know, you
can occasionally just sort of splice Dale, Boom Hoou and Bill in there,
and they all have their own identitynow, they all contribute their own unique

(17:07):
spin to the show. Like Isaid, four episodes in like we feel
like we know who all these charactersaren't what they're bringing to the table.
Yeah. Yeah, so for youknow, Peggy does get this jealous and
this kind of riled up about itseems all right, you've this was a
show that you know, usually hasthe volume set it about six, and

(17:27):
they've ramped it up to eight justa little bit. Yeah, And likewise
with likewise, with Hank and hissort of he's very possessive to towards Betsy
and you know, like like yousaid, we were there, Betsy's got
to have the airbag. It's prettyfunny. Yeah, that just seems a
little more larger than life than thisshow normally. Is that this this seems

(17:49):
like a very sort of low keyshow and they've kicked it up a key
or two. Now a couple oftalking points that I found online. First
of all, Hank says he wantsto go on tour with BILLI and a
cut An album. Opened up achicken franchise that might just seem like a
random joke, but it could possiblybe a reference to the fact that Kenny
Rodgers acclaimed country musician once or hestill has. He's opened up a restaurant

(18:11):
chain called Kenny's Kenny Rodgers Roasters.They chain no longer exists in the US,
but they still, strangely enough existin Malaysian and the Philippines and they're
a big hit. You can checkout the website google Kenny Rodgers Roasters and
the chicken looks delicious. Just yeah, just a random thing that, you
know, just Kenny Rodgers. Youwould never think a chicken franchise, but

(18:33):
now he's smashing it in Malaysia andPhilippines. Well that's the thing that's really
sort of not hard to swallow,unlike the chicken, which I'm sure it
is really easy to swallow. Probablydelicious, But I'm always amazed that,
yeah, franchise are like that fizzleout in the in the place who you'd
expect them to really succeed and thenjust burst in places like do you even

(18:56):
know who Kenny Rodgers is? Yeah? Could you sing along to the Gambler
you put the game on? That'sthe Chicken Man where he sings too,
he sings? Would be like discoveringColonel Sanders had this sideline as a as
a traveling muso. And also alittle mistake here, but Hank states at
Betsy's in nineteen sixty three, GuildSolid Top Acoustic guitar and guitar connosels would

(19:21):
know that the guitar features this onefeatures a steel bridge it was only present
on Guild Electric guitars, and atortoiseshell pick guard which was never manufactured by
the Guild Guitar company. So alittle mistake there, but you've gotta be
a pretty hardcore guitar fan to knowthat one nude. Oh rough this crap.
What were your favorite moments from HankRelies. I mentioned Boom Aaron Bob

(19:45):
Dylan in chat before. That's justa match made in Evan Thost. It
really was, wasn't it. Itwas the perfect It's the perfect guest to
impersonate for Boom. How it reallywas, and it was kind of it
was a gag you could see fromspace, all honest, when really,
oh, that's Bob Dylan's talking too, and then you know, boom how
does his very distinctive way of speaking, and then here bob ling. I

(20:10):
will never ever ever pass up anopportunity to do a Bob Dylan impersonation.
Sorry, guys, it's not thatgood, but the guys got a whole
thirteen seasons of this. Then transtune in. Yeah, it goes elenttric.
I just thought, of course that'sgoing to happen. But I was
very very happy when it did.Um. I really liked Hanks just um.

(20:37):
I use the word bewilderment a lotwhen it comes to Hank, but
I feel, you know, heand I are kindred spirits in that regard,
because I'm bewildered by so much ofmodern culture. But in being introduced
to the unique comedy stylings of CeleryHead, you know, you know,
I'm merging two things. Again.That's not a joke, son, That's
a waste of good glue. Yeah, that is not a joke, Son,

(21:03):
Paul Bobby having Hank as a dad, It's like you love him,
but like he breaks everything down soliterally. It's like, that is just
fun. I was a big fanof Luanne's persistance in this episode with her
braid. Oh yeah, I wasreally rotten for her. She really wanted
to know that braid work, didn'tshe. Yeah, it was a lovely

(21:23):
payoff at the end as well.I mean, that's that's a sign of
just really clever, really thoughtful storytelling. Yeah, it's like, well,
you know we got I mean Iwondered if they almost reverse engineered the joke.
It's like, oh, we gotWillie Nelson. And you know,
there's a few things that Willie Nelsonhas known for. He likes weedy,
avoided his taxes, and he's gotreally long hair with braids in it.

(21:47):
Like okay, and yeah, one'sgot to do a bit of a bit
of hair work. Let's fold itin. It's great. I mean I
thought that paid off really really well. But yeah, her her persistence and
all that kind of stuff. Butespecially when she met Stop and got a
wristoll caught up in the braids thatshe was doing, that was great too.
For some reason, I really gotto kick out of les as well.
The guitar Shop owner's son. Ohyeah, like that because it was

(22:11):
just like, oh no, itwas almost like a weedy version of Bobby.
But I just love the way heliked. He just seems like this,
this kid that just aspires to dosomething else, but he is stuck
in this, you know, smalltown a guitar shop. You know,
he's gonna be running the shop oneday when he's older, because his dad's
gonna make him he would continue onthe family tradition. It's like, what,
I wonder what leeds aspires too?Really though, like this because this
clearly isn't it. Yeah, that'sa good point. Well, he,

(22:33):
to me just perfectly represents the smalltown family tradition kind of kid who has
to carry on the family business whenreally he just wants to know, move
to La and enter the movie businessor something something, something more exciting.
Any more brain busters? Alright,it's time for the blockbuster brainbuster. This
episode, Mister Davis originally aired Februaryninth, nineteen ninety seven. Now number

(22:59):
one at the box office was stillStar Wars and you hope that remastered,
right, so we not go fornumber one. It's still carried off from
last week's Star Wars. Still anumber one. What do you think was
number two? Though? I'm thinkinga bit about nineteen ninety seven lately.
I'll give you a clue. Now, remember these are just clues. It's
not meant to be telling you exactlywhat it is. So Double O seven
that's the clue. Think of whatI could mean by seven. No,

(23:21):
I think I know exactly what you'retalking about. I think we're talking about
an eruptive little movie called Dante's Peak. You nailed at number two. Dante's
Peak, Yes, yes, starringthe Double O seven at the time,
Pierce Brosnan and Terminator star Linda Hamilton, in the story of a small town
called Dante's Peak that was plagued bya volcano that decided to erupt and cover

(23:45):
everybody in molten lava. To thebest of my recollection, it's not that
great a movie, but it's yournineteen nineties disaster movie. It kind of
is. Yeah, yeah, Imean, and as there's a case with
a lot of nineteen ninety stuff.Lately, you've got people online saying,
you know, it's an under ratedclassics Dante's Peak, Like it's really not.

(24:06):
It's okay. It just has asoft spot for a lot of people,
you know, because it was itwas a movie that felt like a
big time action movie that you poppedout of the time. It felt like
I shouldn't be allowed to watch thisbecause it was a bit of violence and
things like that. But as akid, for some reason, you perish
just let you watch it because itwas Pierce Boston. I don't know the
name of the trust, the numberthree, number three day. The clue
is, oh, mister cheffund oh. Well, speaking of double O seven,

(24:30):
then I'm wagering that this is oneof fran Drescher's stabs at big screen
stardom in The Beautician and the BeastNails and starring alongside Pierce Broslon's predecessors James
Bond, Timothy Dalton late eighties theyseven, Is that right, ladies?
Early nineties. He only did twomovies. He did The Living day Lights

(24:52):
and License to Kill, both prettygood Bond movies and all. Yeah,
I mean we're talking about stuff that'sbeen reclaimed. Dalton's quick runners, Bond.
It's like, yeah, this guywas really good, but that film
apparently tanked. Yeah, I thinkLiving Daylights did very well and License of
Kill didn't do as well. No, I'm talking about sorry, the Petition
of the Beast, Oh Beautition theBeast. Yeah, yeah, I don't.

(25:15):
I don't think it was a hugehit, but it was fun.
It was actually kind of nice,and it lost a lot of money at
the box office. But it's oneof those movies that apparently made it back
through sales like home video and rentals, and apparently it's still to this day.
Is there's still one of the morelike popular ones that people rent through
Apple is iTunes or whatever? Howdo you? How do you rent it
through iTunes? That how your rentmovies? I think you can you can

(25:38):
rent through Yeah, yeah, youcan rent off YouTube, Yeah you can't
exactly, yeah, but apparently soit's still making money that way. So
friend Josha, she will not concedethat it was as a bomb of a
movie, but yeah, so yourecommend it's a good switching brain off kind
of company. It's kind of cute, Okay it is. Yeah, when
I have a soft spot of friendJosher anyway, now feel I loved it
when I was a kid. Ijust know, and that she started a

(26:00):
Robin Williams film that everyone hangs shiton called Jack I loved Jack and I
was a kid. She plays thehorny milk mum in that movie. I've
forgotten she was in that. Yeah, that's true. I am a proud
ignorant woman and no one is goingto change that. Now. That is
the stupidest thing I ever heard anyonesay. But now it's time for some

So jump on board and support yourpals Guy and Dando at four ft
Discamp. But mister Davis, whatis your first trivia question that you have
for me? For Hanks got theWillies, I was initially going to ask
you when Betsy was built, butyou got a nerdy on me and you
sort of that one out. Soinstead, let's talk a bit about Celery
Head and how much he earns ayear. Ah, is it two million

(28:33):
or three million? It's three million, three million. I won't take a
poincas I said too. First,my first question is what is the name
of Peggy's brush that Hanks cleaning hisgolf club with. Oh, think of
Santana. So Carlos, Carlos,but you'll probably get this. Eddie Stilson

(28:56):
reached which level on which game?It's level six? Right? Is it
level six? I don't know thegame though, what was it? It's
called Scream Ninja. Screamed Ninja.I love those kind of just when I
was a kid. It's just agame. It's like, this isn't a
franchise, this is the license,but that name. I'm gonna drop my
fire bucks and read this game ScreamNinja. I'm all in, buy me

(29:19):
Bonestorm and go to hell exactly.My next question is what is the name
of Luan's teacher? Oh god,damn. It calls out her name when
she's when she tied herself up.Yeah, can I get a clue?
The first half of it's kind oflike Jerry's lunatic neighbor. It's Miss Cremser.

(29:41):
Okay, that clue was even moreconfusing. I saw a guy's face
and I was like, he ain'tgetting this. And Miss Kramsap who when
she appears on the show, sheis voiced by one Jennifer Coolidge. Hey
about that. Everyone loves Jennifer Coolidge. Yes, what is the text form
that stumped Hank Tanks for him?Yeah? I do have it my notes.

(30:02):
Can I see it? A quickskim? Quick skim? I know
it took six hours to do it, easy, my ass? No,
what is it? That's the tenforty, the ten forty, that's right.
And my final question is how muchwas missus Hellman's guitar that Peggy bought
from the garage sale? Gosh,I don't remember that at all. She
had a little tag on it,little tag she dropped and she and the
money she gave it also had thenote on it as well, had the

(30:25):
number on it. I'm gonna sayfive dollars. Well done, you get
it? Get it all right?I'm gonna ask you one last question.
Yeah, that's it. Dale's Clubis made of what Russian titanium alloy?
You got it? Yes? Therewe go? All right? And I
couldn't even tell if you're looking atyour notes, but you're probably well I

(30:47):
wasn't. Yeah, I haven't scribedit. I could not be bothered.
Do you love Bob's Burgers? Ofcourse you do? Who doesn't? Well,
what if I was to tell youthat if you supported you pals Guy
and Dando, there's just a dollara month you could help us finally launch
a weekly Bob's Burgers podcast. Yes, we've set ourselves the goal of launching
the new show once we hit athousand supporters, and we're currently sitting at

(31:08):
three hundred and fifty, so youknow there's still a way to go.
But if you've enjoyed the thousand plushours of content we've chucked out over the
last eight years, you can showyour support by joining the four figure discamp
family today and actually making it areality. So go ahead, help us
reach our goal and finally launched thatBob's Burgers podcast by going to Patreon dot
com slash four figure discount. Youhave the parent inside you right now,

(31:29):
so use it. The original airdate of Hanks Got the Willies was February
ninth, nineteen ninety seven. Itwas written by Johnny Harwick, as we
mentioned, and directed by Monte Young. The episode kicks off with Willie Nelson
sort of It's the dream, isn'tit? Willie Nelson's how do you say

(31:52):
that? Peter Nales? Pedernales?Well, the country Club, so like
Willie Nelson's Peternales country Club. Yeah, I must admit that is a word
that I am unfamiliar with. Let'sgoogle it because it's probably listens out they're
saying, you're blithering idiots. Youshould know what this means. Let's have
a look, Peter and Nala's meaninglet's have a look. So maybe it's
just a place. Uh, it'salso a river in central Texas. Or

(32:14):
maybe it's just that. Yeah,Pete and Nas is just a place.
I guess it's just somewhere near island. Maybe I don't know. Let us
know, listeners give the hillmail bagat gmail dot com. But yes,
we're at We're at his country clubwhere there's no spitting, no fighting,
no gambling. I said he inthe brackets there was here knowing gambler or
something. Let us go to themassive Willing we get Badia page. It

(32:35):
tells us everything. Did he justtake a gamble by not paying his taxes?
That is a very good point,um. And then it says,
if there's more than twelve in yourfoursome, no more than twelve and your
foursome, So Hank and WILLI youhear their team off together. They both
get the hole in one and bythat point you're like, Okay, this
something's up here or thanks, yeah, Hanks with billing us what's going on?

(32:58):
They drink a beer, they throwit in the recycle, in which
I thought was a nice little Touchdowthrowing in both in the recycle and well,
I'd like to think though, thatwould Hank be someone that would recycle.
What do you think? I mean, for what we've known of him
so far on the show, Ithink he's someone who would If it's there,
he'll do it, but he's notgoing to make the extra effort.
I don't think. Yeah, Idon't think he's going to go to any

(33:19):
sort of extremes or anything like that. But and he probably would do it
if someone pointed out to him asmuch as he's sort of flustered by Bobby,
I think, Dad, you meantto put it in the reason he
probably would do it. I thinkhe wants to set a good example if
if someone's watching, yeah, that'sa true point. If someone's watching,
yeah, but then they really explainsto Hank that he in the dream.

(33:40):
Of course, he always wanted tosell propane, but that damn music thing
got in the way and they're goingto play guitar together and they're playing not
bad, and then they get wakenup by Bobby using his guitar. At
this point though, when he saysoh, I was like, why what
happened? Like waking him up?Because they don't explain what the guitar is
at that point yet. I thoughtwas an hut because I ain't sort of
established that that was his guitar,but he was strumming the guitar. I

(34:04):
read it was who's the guitarist forthe who pay tensend? Yes, apparently
that's the why I was doing theworld I was getting out of the windows.
But yeah, it's the wind mill. Yeah, yeah, so the
intro and yes, we kick offthe episode with Hank grilling Bobby for using
Betsy the guitar. What's that smell? You've been playing this with your feet.
That's cheese dead. Why would thereever be cheese on Betsy? It's

(34:30):
funny. It's a comedy routine.You know, you play the guitar with
a piece of cheese and you go, hey, look at me, I'm
Eddie cheddar. You know it's fromcelary head. What is a celery head.
He's the world's best comedian. Heglues things like glues a clean xbox
to a tennis shoe and goes,this is in case you have a running

(34:52):
nose. That's not a joke,son, that's a waste of good glue.
Well, he makes three mill dollarsa year. You must have got
that wrong. People don't pay moneyto see things like that, now,
Robert Klein, that's something you paymoney for. I mean, Bobby,
it's one thing to play the guitar, but to put cheese on it,

(35:13):
even I would be delivered. I'dbe like, mete use some common sense,
but only give a shit if yourfavorite comedian does it. Don't play
a guitar with cheese. You're blitteringfull. We've established how old Bobby.
How old is Bobby? He's twelvetwelve Yeah, okay, m no,
that frontal lobe is still forming.He's still gonna. He's still gonna make
some bad decisions or some rashnessision,you know, ill advised choices. But

(35:38):
when you know that's your dad's belovedguitar, you don't strum it with cheese.
You just don't strum it with cheesein general. But it did give
us the eddie Chetta gagabo, whichI appreciate him. He says he's copying
Celery Head, he glues things.No wonder the celery Heads making three million
year if he's coming up with EddieChetta gags Yeah, exactly clear. But

(36:00):
I just think that it just remindedme so much of just like late ninety
comedian he lose things. What doesthat mean? I don't think. You
know, guys like Carrot Top orGallagher they never really sort of made it
big in Australia, did they.I mean I'd never heard of them.
Yeah. I think if you ifyou knew a bit, if you were
interested in show business, he wassort of maybe just picked up on them

(36:22):
because either other people were making funof them, because I mean, what
Gallagher do he gallagha would? Imean he probably actually told jokes. But
the only thing I really know abouthim is that he used to smash watermelons
with a with a sledgehammer. Youknow I've seen that? Is that who
it is? Ak? Yeah?Yeah, I mean I'd never heard of
Carrot Top until Miss Crowtree made himpiss his pants on South Park when we

(36:43):
did the review of that episode.I just know him because he sort of
looks he's a weird ginger, buthe looks like he's had a lot of
plastic surgery on his face, andnow he looks kind of strange, and
he's also just really jacked. Ohthere you go. Yeah, But I
just feel like comedy has sort ofadvanced a lot now. Where there was
a seventies, eighties comedy was great, it was also very vulgar and very

(37:07):
um, not very nice. Thesort of certain demographic of the people out
there, right, they're just sortof very loose with their mouths. Then
the nineties came along, it camebecame very gimmicky, a lot of gimmicks
in comedy. And now I feellike comedy now it just seems to be
far more polished and somewhat respectable becausewe are just as a society more respectable
of my things like that, wherebecause of because we're now aware that you

(37:31):
know, you shouldn't be saying this, it's offensive to that's to say that
it's just not nice to say thesethings. It's forced people to go out
and think of stuff that's far moreclever than just saying racist shit. Well,
yeah, they've got to be abit more polite, which you know,
Kevin Bloody Wilson's just they somehow yousaid, somehow sort of thing,
but that if he was a newcomedian now you just wouldn't survive. It

(37:51):
just wouldn't work. Yeah, probablynot. No, I think you've got
to have it. You've got tobe grandfathered into that kind of business,
you know, if you're if you'rea bit of a blue comedian or someone
who, um, you know,it takes a few shots that well,
they'll claim to be equal opportunity offenders, but they're probably taken low low blows
at the marginalized. Yeah, you'reright, but I don't know a lot
of comedy seems like Ted Talks thesedays. I did um. I did

(38:13):
appreciate Hank's refusal to believe that thatsalary head earned three million of years like
that. It's just not true.It's like possibly be true. I refuse
to believe it. And Peggy saysthat she also saw salary Head on ET.
Just since I thought heard ET,I was like taken me back to
me when I got all my infotainmentfrom our from ET. That was just

(38:35):
a great time. Entertainment did moviecompanies I'm assuming they would have would have
had to have paid money to havetheir story as like the opening story of
ET like did they did they?Did? They sell themselves like a tabloid?
Well, I think we've talked abit about entertainment to Night in the
past and how you know, whenit first started, it viewed itself as
like a legitimate news source, butabout entertainment. But there's always been a

(38:59):
bit of of dodginess in the entertainmentindustry. Hasn't there be a payola all
that kind of business? Though asmuch as we'd like to think there was
integrity on an intendant ideal, I'mguessing that someone got slipped a few bucks.
It's like, you know, puttingus near the top of the episode
or something. Make guess you're breakingnews and I can't play. I wouldn't
be surprised if it happened. Lookat this, Peggy. The boy chipped

(39:20):
Betsy's bridge and he walked me upfrom Willie Nelson golfing Dream number three.
Hi, calm down, It isjust a bunch of wood and some wires,
wood and wires. I've had Betsysince high school. I took her
to the prom. I love thisguitar. Do you understand what I'm saying,
do you understand what love means?Yes, I love my family.

(39:42):
Yeah, now you're getting it.That's the kind of love I have for
Betsy. I'm going back to sleep. You're coming. I'm already up.
Besides, I wouldn't want to makeBetsy jealous, and it does seem like
he loves Betsy more than he loveshis own family at this point. But
I get it, though, Iknow, I get it. You know,
just I've got things that I've keptsince I was a child, and
I'm like, I know they're worthnothing to anybody else, but to me,

(40:05):
they mean the world. Well,yeah, I mean you've you've invested
a lot of your your memories.In the end, it's a it's a
it's a container for your fuel history. Yeah. Bobby is then mocking Hank.
Sitting on his moa accidentally takes offthe break and crashes into the car.
I thought Hank took that quite well. I mean, if your kid
crashed your mow into your car,it'd be pretty damn angry. I think

(40:28):
I'd be a little more peeved aboutthat than I would about, you know,
using guitar cheese. Yeah, oh, my guitar that can be washed
off. That can be that canbe tended to. Yeah, yeah,
a big dent in the Sardic house. Oh man, this is an insurance
as too. Peggy shoes. I'mpacking some heat, trying to get out
of frustrations with the wand throwing somesoftballs. Softballs, wasn't it wasn't baseball?

(40:52):
Pretty sure it underruns? Was Iimagine there were softballs? Lu And
she says she can't break him nailbecause she's a h you know, she's
got the big test coming up orwhatever. And she's also failing braid work,
as Peggy explains, you know thatbrad work doesn't come natural to the
women and her family. Then weget the guys. They all come to
see because once Bobby crashed the mowinto the car, the hormon off.
This was just like so real butso funny, this moment where the guys

(41:15):
just wocked up just to see what'sgoing on Bill. Bill's first line of
I think your horn's going you think, mate, how are you helping him?
Just reminds me when, like,you know, a group of guys
see their mate working on a car, they'll just stand around with a beer
and that's their way of helping,just being there. Just moral support.
That's what that's what we do.It's how we as men we help.
We just give moral support. AndBill's useless here Boomhower rocks up in his

(41:37):
underes and Dale's pissed off because healmost found it in a piece until the
horman off and he kicks the car. Don't you dare try and take credit
for that? I was surprised,Actually, it makes kind of sense though,
Johnny Hardwick, he wrote the episode, that Dale and the friends weren't
really in the episode all that often. But I guess they had their fair

(41:58):
show at the golf course. Theydidn't they be feel like if you're yeah,
if you're a cast member and you'rewriting an episode, you'd probably be
self conscious not to include yourself toooften. Oh, I think you'd be
very very careful about I'm trying togiving yourself some good lines there, right,
no no back and ride off.And then he mentions that because he
says that the chingy noise that hehears is from it was a helicopter,

(42:20):
stealth helicopters or something. You said, stealth helicopters, yeah, which you
read about on old dot conspiracy DotBlack dot helicopters. That's such an old
school website name obsessive boom. Howardthen goes on about all the naked chicks
he can find on the on theinternet, and I was like, this,
guys, this guy's man, Well, he's a man's man, rocking

(42:42):
up in his undees. So Hankthen sees Bobby using his clubs and I'm
like, first of all, youdrive a more into a car, use
fucking cheese on a guitar, andnow you're hitting dog shit with his clubs
like cheese I can get because you'rejust trying to copy, and you can
copy a comedian. The breaks ofthem was an accident. You are you're
taking your father's golf clubs and you'rehitting dog shit with them. What are

(43:06):
you doing that? That is justvandalism, buddy, Like, no,
no twelve year old at twelve yearold knows better than to hit dog shit
with a golf club. Don't pleadignorance on this one, mate, This
was not an accident. This wascalculated that. That is very correct.
Yeah, I mean we can forgiveBobby a lot of stuff, but no
golf clubs and dog who are nota great mix. And yeah, we're

(43:29):
all should know better. I mean, I know we're going to by the
end of the episode realize that Bobby'sdoing all this stuff because he's got a
hero and role model of his own. But this is not how you hero
worship and this is not how youyeah, following your role model's footsteps,
my young man, So now washingthe club that my aunt right, And

(43:51):
I was like, damn straight,like that's where I would draw the line,
fucking hitting dog shit with my golfclubs. But Peggy, she's also
named her brush. Now you canname your guitar. I've named my brush,
he says, your car loss.And that was actually a nice moment
because Hanks, like you've named it. It's almost like, well, you've
named your guitar, mate, youknow. He just you can't see the
work that what he's doing, howit's having an impact on the world around

(44:13):
him. So she shouldgest that theygo and have a sit down. You
know, you needed a chat withBobby about this. And he says,
I can't going out for three hours, three out of eighteen holes because in
my mind I was watching this,I was like eighteen holes. He said,
it takes a long time. Hejust takes between three and four hours
to hit out eighteen holes. ButI agree, I wouldn't want to take
my kid, especially who's just beendoing all this. I wouldn't want to
take him to the golf course.No. Yeah, well, how old

(44:34):
is Elliott now? Only this four? It's four and a half. You'll
be five in July. Okay,Yeah, I'm trying to remember how old
I was when I would be takenaround the golf course by my mum.
And I probably wasn't five, becauseI imagine i'd probably would have made it
three, Hug, you can't,but certainly when I was before double digits.
But yeah, maybe seven, eightor nine. I would, like

(44:57):
I've always said, Bob and Mugwere usually too cheap to spring for a
babysitter, so I would end updoing grown uppy kind of stuff and including
walking around eating holes at the Gelonggolf course. Yeah. I think when
you're at the age where you're notyoung enough, like Alliott were five,
where he just wants to try everything, so he'll want to be hitting the
whole time, and he has noawareness of the world around him. Allie,

(45:19):
he's saw any four four five willsay he's five once you're like eight
nine, you have that sense ofI don't want to embarrass myself in front
of other people, where Aliott hasn'tquite hit that age yet, so wanting
to try it's something you probably wouldn'twant to do. But oh no,
I'm not as good as you guys. I'll just I'll just like push the
buggies or whatever. So when you'rethat age, it's like, yeah,
you can take along because you're justgonna drive the golf card or you know,
push the buggies around. But whena five year olds there, it's

(45:39):
like, I want to do it. It's like, all right, you
wait there, they tee off,they miss, they miss, they miss
here, let me show you,don't show me, don't show me.
It's like you don't know how todo it. Oh my god, that's
just that's the life of a parentof a four year old. They want
to try everything. They can doit all themselves. Especially Holly, my
goodness, my daughter Holly for youlisteners, he's two and a half and

(46:00):
she can do everything yourself. She'svery much her mother. Apparently my wife's
first words were no, me doit, me do it, me do
it, and Holy is very muchher daughter. I'm pretty sure you do
it. That's why I still sayto this day, you do it.
Bobby. I apologize for yelling atyou, but sometimes you just don't listen.

(46:23):
It's like you got a problem withconcentration. Bobby, Bobby, Bobby,
Hey, you just kill me?Well you needed killing. You know.
I've been thinking, Son, andI realized you don't have any goals.
You gotta figure out what you wantto do with your life. Okay,

(46:45):
can we go to six Flags?I think you need a role model,
Bobby, someone to emulate, ahero, someone besides that broccoli neck.
How about Eddie Stilson. Can Iimmulate him? Now? There you
go, Eddie Stillson? Which onehere? You see the Space Shuttle last

(47:07):
or not? Or the stock carchamp You got to the end of level
six and scream Ninja. Bobby.When I say hero, I don't mean
some weird game boy freak. Ifyou don't watch it, you're gonna end
up like Jason Adderley's boy. Dealme out this hand, Jason, I'm
about to bust. Oh, I'msorry. I thought this was the Bathrow

(47:28):
Good Lord. You know Howard Hatterley. He's my number two hero after Eddie
Stilson, Bobby, you need tobe lectured all afternoon. Peggy, I'm
taking the boy golfing and that's fat. I thought it was a bit heavy
for him. You need to figureout what you want to do with your

(47:49):
wife. I'm like, I guessyou can kind of start having these conversations
when you're twelve, but you knowwhat, you're just twelve. Just let
him enjoy himself. I think you'vegot a Yeah, you gotta be Hey,
it's the time to start having conversationslike that. But you've got to
be careful how you phrase it.I mean you don't want to say,
figure out what you're going to dowith your laugh and then do it.
What do you like doing? Youmight be able to do that for them.
You know what do you want?What do you want to do?

(48:12):
Yeah, let's see if let's giveit a crack. We come back from
commercial and Peggy is lugging the golfclubs into the back of the truck and
Hank is strapping him Betsy to getget fixed, and Bobby's in the middle,
so Betsy's in front of the airbag. Then he took him to
try and think of a hero andtry and think of a hero. Bobby.
Hank explains that his heroes Billie Nelson, because they're both from Texas,
they love the same things, andthey both had troubles with the irs.

(48:34):
He said, one was not payingone was just taking long time on the
form. So Bobby here, onceyou know that the story of this is
that Bobby's hero is Hank. Thismoment has more more emotion in the sense
that when he says, my herois Billy Nelson as well, not because
he's just lazy, it's just likehe wants to be his dad. Yeah,
no, that makes a lot ofsense. Yeah, it's very sweet.
Yeah, he's long, he's gotlong hand. He's alternative. And

(48:58):
when he said that, I thoughtthis was going to completely change and the
Hank go, wait a minute,you're right, and then he sort of
and then Willie Nelson can be Bobby'shero and Hank doesn't like it because Willie
Lson is his hero. I thoughtthat's where this this episode was going.
But no, no, Hank doesn'tagree. I followed it from country western
the country to adult contemporary. That'sas far as I'm going. I just
love that exactly. He's alternative.You take that back, you take that

(49:22):
back. Yeah. They drive pasthis personal golf course which is now property
of the irs, and I likethat. You see the guys in the
suits to driving pass on a golfcart. And then Peggy drops off Lauan
for her grading class, and she'sshe's going to do it, She's going
to prove everybody wrong. But sheunfortunately ties herself into into the ropes.
Is it ropes? It was ahair ropes, doesn't it. It looks

(49:42):
like ropes made out of here.Maybe yeah, I guess. So we're
now at the guitar shop and theguitar I don't know what the owner's name
is, but he said it smellslike a belly button. And that's great
writing, because really that's what that'swhat a belly buttons. I haven't smell
a belly button before, but that'sif you think, what would a belly
button smell like? It's probably cheese. It's gross. Smells like a belly

(50:10):
button. Yeah, my son wasplaying it with a piece of cheese.
You mean like celery head. Look, I'm camon bird humperdink less. Go
in the back and alphabetize the guitarstrings. Alphabetize but letter or less.
Okay, all right, cheez ornot? This is a sweet, sweet

(50:30):
guitar. Is she for sale?Not hardly? Just fix the bridge,
earl. I didn't think so.Most guys would sell their wives before they'd
sell a guitar like this. Igotta remember that one. Oh heck,
I got a million of them.Like women are a lot like a guitar.
They both come with strings attached.Oh actually, I guess those are

(50:54):
the only two. I've never beenone for doing this, you know,
I know sometimes you have aways getaround to make jokes about the misses,
but I've just never I've just neverdone it. I don't know. I
talk, I joke about things thatNicola does, but I never go I'll
tell you what the old ball andchain. I've just never been that kind
of guy, nor have I really. I mean, I don't want to
sound like an absolute simple when itcomes to the women in my life,

(51:15):
but I mean no, I justgenerally think I've got too much respectful.
I realized that I'm bunching up.I'm like, I'm not. She's not
holding me down. I've quit myjob to podcast for a living. She's
bringing home the bake and like,oh hey on Nicola. Oh no,
I mean look to quote my man, Bruce Willison die Hard. You know,

(51:37):
loving the words is the best thingthat ever happened to a bum like
many. So there we go.Did you see that video of Bruce's birthday?
I did, Yes, I wasboth very happy and sad at the
same time. Wasn't it? Itis? It is, But I'm glad
that Bruno was surrounded by surrounded bya big, extended loving family. Peggy
is now ranting to various people abouthow she's angry, how Hanks he has

(52:00):
more care for his his guitar thanher. He's talking to the mechanic and
the waxer just waxing the lip.That that to me just seems like like
shaving is painful sometimes, right,but just getting your lip hair just ripped
out? Thank you, no,thank you. And then she goes to
missus Hellman's garage sale. Would yoube annoyed if somebody bought something of yours
and then just smashed it as soonas they purchased it. I'll just say,

(52:22):
for example, now you're selling somestuff and it's you don't dislike the
eartist, but you didn't like Idon't have space for this anymore. Just
say someone bought your TV, theygot bought the TV, they're just like
smashed it on the road. Wouldyou be like, well that was a
waste. I think I would.And if they were saying I'm fitting out
a rage room or um, youknow those things where people with just go

(52:43):
and break glasses and stuff. Yeah, yeah, And I'm like, yeah,
no worries. Man. You gethanded over the cash, that's fine,
do with it what you will,but you have to do it in
front of you. I think it'sa little disrespectful and ostentatious. And I'm
not I'm not for it. Idon't approve without the golf course, and
Bill suggests a Santa Claus can beBobby's hero, and Hanks's Santa Claus is
for babies, and I was like, oh god, you're a party pooper.

(53:05):
My goodness, Bobby's just not goingto have fun mate. But Dale
here he tries his swing stuff up. Damn alloy titanium, Russ titanium alloy.
You can't can't bend there, bendthe golfst Have you ever played golf
in the last like ten years,Like, I don't feel like you'd be
much of a golfer, but like, have you played golf at all?

(53:29):
Oh? Yeah, yeah, Imean there was a yeah, a good
period well because you know, mumand dad were both big golfers, especially
mum. Mum okay, oh yeah, yeah yeah. Is that where all
the wags went and caught up?I think Mum was never really much of
a wag even you know, youknow back in the day, she was

(53:49):
like, I don't know, Bobgoes off and does his thing and uh
no, I'm a sort of stayfairly low key. She wasn't really big
on on that kind of socializing.She enjoyed it, but she enjoyed a
golf a whole lot. Interrupting bythe way, listeners, because don't think
we've explained on this podcast. Guy'sdad is one of the most successful,
most beloved AFL Australians footballers of alltime. It's like a king in our

(54:14):
city here and Gelong. He's gotlike a one of the gates at the
local AFL ground is named after Guy'sfather, like Bobby Davis. Looking at
Bob Davis, big deal there,We continued, That's why I called his
mum a whack continued, But yeah, there was always sort of golf paraphernalia
and stuff around the house. Youknow, there was a little thing in

(54:35):
their backyard that was you know,staked down and you could tee off and
you know, golf and a stringand come back down all that great stuff.
So yeah, I mean I playeda bit when I was younger,
certainly a fair bit when I wasin my twenties. I mean, you
know, my friends Mark and JPand all that, we'd always you know,
we'd go out and do nine holesor eighteen holes or whatever, and
we when we were skipping unium.And more recently, I mean, I

(54:58):
haven't really gone out and played roundsof golf, but I've certainly gone down
to the driving range, you know, with a wooden just really whacked the
hell out of it. And youknow, my form is built so so,
but there's honestly nothing quite like thesensation of when you know you've just
nailed it, you know, yeah, just go straight down the straight down

(55:21):
the Fairway's marless. Lou and Iare watching this series on Netflix at the
moment called Full Swing. It's justby the guys who did the everyone's drive
to survive and they do want toTennis will break point and this is much
the same thing. And you know, there, I think we're about six
episodes into weight because Lou did abit of golf as well back in the
day, and you know, we'lllook at each other being, you know,

(55:43):
fifty somethings like golf going to beour thing in ten years? What
do you reckon? We could dothat? Yeah? Why not? But
yeah, really enjoying the Full Swingshow just because you know, it sort
of goes behind the sign, behindthe scenes on the PGA tour, this
whole new thing that Greg normalus settingup in Saudi Arabia. Yeah, golf.
It's kind of fun. And Ilive on a golf course. We

(56:06):
should go out for a hit,I'm sure, indeed. Yeah, I
mean, there's no better way toruin a good walk, No, exactly
right, Yeah, but I thoughtthat is really encapsulated the eighteen whole vibe
here of just you know, Bobbyhopping on to the back of the cart
and slowing down as a result,and Dales ran out as smokes and boom
how and not yelling out four becausewhen you're in a group, you're sort

(56:27):
of your tee off and then youseparate and occasionally, like a ball will
come flying past. It's like,motherfucker, what did you yell out for?
Like, you know, just hearingboom, how yell out that?
He's like a little bit four Butafter the balls already hit the cart.
But Bill, then he's trying totell the joke about I believe was it
the prostitute and the priest stripper andthe priest stripper and the priest I believe,
Yes, yeah, Hanks, it'snot in front of Bobby and then

(56:50):
boom, how boom how I thoughtit was funny, the toned down version
that Bill sort of being on thefly, and then Bobby chips the ball
in and Hank can't believe it,Like, what the what's going on here?
So then Bobby starts to attempt totea off, he misses it and
then swing less like a girl.I'm like, Jesus Christ, Hank,
it's Texas. It's the nineties coming. Oh no, no, I don't

(57:12):
bother. I just I just laughing. I was just laughing. Just that
swings. I respect to our friendsin Texas as well. I mean,
I'm sure there are very many progressivefolks in Texas as well. But this
time, this here sets up thefact that Bobby, let's go of the
club, but it goes over andwallops Willie Nelson. I wonder what came
first the episode scenes of class strugglein Springfield. I believe that would have
come first, because that is theepisode of The Simpsons where we originally aired

(57:36):
in ninety six. Yeah, sothat's the episode where Homer is learning from
Tom Kite and he swings the clublet's go, and it hits Krusty in
the back of the head. Interesting. Bobby's almost like a reverse Happy Gilmore.
He's great at putting that can't Ican't hit I have a Gilmore.
That's That's just one of those moviesthat I've always just loved. I know,
you know, I know you're abig out of Sandy guy, aren't

(57:58):
you. I like Sandler is shouldn'tMcGavin one of the greatest movie heels of
the nineties. Oh, it's fantastic. People. A lot of people still
talking about their character this day,Like you can't go and play a game
of golf with that one person whois trying a happy Gilmore shot and then
one person going should and the piecesof the ship for breakfast game continuously gets
brought up. It's still that's justone of those does that That joke in

(58:21):
itself is so childish and lame,but I guess that's also the charm of
it. Oh absolutely pieces a shipfor breakfast. No, that delivery of
no is so aways. What's thatguy? Then? Chris McDonald is Chris
McDonald. Yeah, yeah, hea splendid, splendid heel good actor.
But yeah, played heels just theperfection. I'm pretty sure he now doing
cameos that shouldnt McGavin because that's justthe genius business move right. I saw

(58:44):
some there's a photo of him thatI keep meaning to put up on the
on the Facebook page of him andTiger Woods. They like you bust have
bumped into Tiger Woods at suddenly.Oh okay, yeah, and they've got
like a selfie though. That iscool. That is pretty cool. Yes,
but yea, so the clubs hitreally in Elson and Dale's first thing
is the check his pockets for cigarette, where he come back and hank he

(59:05):
found girls out for Willy, andWilly basically fobs him off here, doesn't
he steals their steals their golf cartand doesn't really. I did like the
joke about the two number one fanWillie Nelson, which which gets paid off
in a few moments. But becausehere you think the joke is that,
oh, Hank's just imagining what hewanted it to say, when it's really
it's just a scribble. But yeah, So Willy has driven off with the

(59:25):
golf cart. He tells Peggy thatthat Bobby ruined his one chance to to
when when he first met You getone chance to meet your hero, and
Bobby overhears the delivery, said Iwas sorry. It's like, oh man,
I feel so bad for this kid. But but Les then rocks up
and he drops off Betsy, andBobby says he I'm gonna go make my
dad proud, and he rings thedoorbell. Did you see would you hear

(59:47):
what this was? Remind me?Tell me? No? I was like,
oh, that's nice. So hisdoorbells on the road again. Yes,
And but Willy he thinks he's nothome, and then he sees him
playing Ben Crenshaw Turbo Golf Hill residence. Yes, where I I don't know,

(01:00:08):
Let's see crush and Dwight Yoacom's voicebox with my five iron. I'm
at Willie Nelson's. Can he wantyou to come over? Son? You're
teasing the gorilla in the monkey house. Willie Nelson here practically blind in one
eye now, but I got yourson here. Oh, I'm terribly sorry,
mister Nelson. Bobby's never stalked anyonebefore, and he's not very good

(01:00:29):
at it. I mean, well, he shouldn't be stalking anybody. I'll
come get him right away. Andhe arrives. Did you notice here he
says, out of my way,rooster Boy. You know who that was?
I do, but it's on thetip of my head, so you're
gonna have to You're gonna have toilluminate me. It's Lyle love It.
Oh my gosh, Yes, whosenickname was rooster Boy? Well, yeah,

(01:00:50):
I did have that lovely bouffont.Yeah. I do like the idea
that Willie Nelson. He's just gota caravan outside somewhere and he just invites
people over for a barbecue. Peoplejust hang out with Willie, like you
were saying, it's the guy onWillie Nelsons. Yeah cool, you coming,
just got all these celebrities over.I led to Texas a little while
ago, not not heavily, butit all seem seems like a very kind
of cool, inclusive kind of state. It's like a very hangout kind of

(01:01:15):
place Texas. Yeah, we're havinga cook out. Come on. I
love the idea of um, youknow, I think that is all over
America. But you know before thegame they have like their get back.
Yeah yeah, and they just cookingbarbecues at the car park. But that's
awesome. We should have that aKP. We should have that down a
good in your park and Gelong.I always think that's one thing AFI doesn't

(01:01:35):
quite get right. It's just thepregame stuff. You know, everyone sort
of rocks up when they can.You know what it is is that I
just feel like there's I want toget into that. It's not important.
I've got I've got a theory onpre game entertainment in the AFL. But
we'll discuss that on another podcast.But something grinding dandos gears. Yeah,
and that's not grinding my gears today. But yeah, see he's really playing
his guitar and he signed it andthis is where the joke pays off.

(01:01:58):
One of one family nails was exactlythe same as when he's driving off,
which I thought was very funny.Just ribble, yeah, doctor's handwriting.
He then called Peggy Yale residence.Peggy, you'll never guess. I'm at
Willie Nelson's house. He says,we're all invited to his barbecue. See
I'd love to come, Hank,But Ann Richards and I are doing her
tonnails. I don't think so,Peggy. I'm looking at Anne Richards right

(01:02:19):
now, and she's playing tearlor ballwith one of my roadies. See that
was him. Oh my lord,what do I wear? It doesn't matter,
peg wear any old thing. Oh, just don't forget to bring Betsy's
orange woven shoulder strap. We'll getand Richards here. Now do you know
who An Richards is? Yeah,she was the governor of Texas. Yes,
she ended her term in ninety six, just before this episode aired.

(01:02:42):
But I'm assuming we're now making thisshe was still the still the governor.
But yeah, she's playing tether ballwithout what she played with the Hopper and
I she'd played one of the roadies, wasn't she. Yes? I think
so. Yeah, I think andRichards was quite a beloved figure in Texas.
I mean she was one of thosetell it like it is ladies.
Okay, Yeah, And he tellsPeggy to bring his orange woven shoulder strap
for Betsy. He's more more interestedin that than actually having Peggy there if

(01:03:06):
he wants it there. But ifas long as she brings the strap Peggy,
then when she arrives, she overhearsthe wife joke that he that he
made to them to the guitar storeowner, and she gets a bit pissed
off by this. Then we getBoom Howard talking to Bob Dylan. I'll
take what man you did our Danielmid Metri, Dame Marine May and did
come play a song from million Old? Then you get you take change names,

(01:03:28):
zem Ramnel born again. Yeah.Oh but the kids gone around like
mad dog dann him go and planthim. You know, he's accounting firms
and he had dang old Boomer andthen Dayale and Bill just randomly flirting with
this woman pouring a beer. Justis it flirting or it's just it's just
creepy if anything. Yeah, Ithink they're just trying to Yeah, they're

(01:03:52):
caught up in the showbiz moment.I think it's like, oh, well,
you know, we're in proximity toyou know, people like Dennis Opper
and Willie Nelson. We can probablyact like alpha males too, you know,
and then Peggy's chatting to Dennis Hopperand yeah, the joke being here,
Yeah, I loved you that moviehere, the one way you played
a mad villain. What do youthink is the movie that she likes the
most of Peggy character? What doyou think is the movie that she's referencing

(01:04:15):
here? That's my question, What'swhat's Peggy Hill's favorite Dennis Hopper movie?
Well, he's not a bad madvillain in't it. So I'm guessing I'm
thinking she's talking about Speed. I'mI'm thinking the like Speed came on TV
one night and it's like Leckiano reeveskind of pretty, so you know she
was watching it for that, ButI get the feeling. Do you know
the movie Who's Who's Just? No? Have ever heard of that one?

(01:04:38):
It's from like eighty six and itwas part of I think you got nominated
for an Oscar for it, DennisHopper did. It's a small town basketball
team. Gene Hackman is the newcoach and he's very much my way of
the Highway kind of guy. Buthe hires the town drunk who used to
be a basketball star to be hisassistant. And that's Dennis Hopper, who
sort of cleans up his act asa result. Um. So it's a

(01:05:01):
very heartwarming, very all American movie. I get the feeling that's the one
that Pegg is like, you wereso nice in that Danni's Happer and then
has the bad guy in Speed whenshe was trying to get a Kiou fixed
that, mate. I feel likePeggy's a kind of person who wants she
has to have a happy ending.Like if the movie doesn't have a happy
end or satisfying ending, bad movie. Much like I said, a lot

(01:05:23):
of my mum in Peggy in thatregardlet my mum she watches a movie in
the ending is not a happy,feel good ending, bad movie. It's
don't don't let her watch seven LotsMariachi. So, dear bloss, he's
not treating you right, Peggy,a delicate flower like you do? You
want me to kick his ass?Oh you are so sweet to offer,
Dennis, but Hank would flatten youout like a bug. No, this

(01:05:46):
is something Peggy Hill has to handleon her own. Oh yeah, you
go, girl, and Willy hetalks up Bobby to to Hank, he
says, you know you need topay more attention to this kid. It
makes you realize that he is Bobby'shero. So he goes and he plays
his Peggy song to Bobby. Hedoesn't and he doesn't realize he's not playing
for it for like sympathy or forfor for. Brownie pointically doesn't know that

(01:06:09):
she's standing behind him, but sheoverhears and he tells Bobby to go practice,
which I thought was a nice momentbecause at the start of the episode
he doesn't want probably be touching hisguitar. Here was like, go practice
the guitar. Yeah, just justget out of here. You just just
take the guitar. He doesn't careanymore. He just wants to spend time
with Peggy, and she says,I love you propane man, and then
we pan out. Also I lovethat. I just love that his Peggy

(01:06:29):
song is basically Peggy soup. Yes, yes, it's Peggy Leggy leg And
how we pan out and we seeWillie Nelson and they play up at the
joke's going to be that you know, Willy's magically brought everyone together with the
Sparkles and turns out that Lauand isbreading his hair. But she needs to
lighten up on the glitter spray onthe glitter spray. Yeah, but yeah,
doing Willie's braids at the end.He it's it's a it's a it's
a very very nice touch. Andhe was a very good guest. I

(01:06:53):
mean yeah, he just seems insync with the tone and the mood of
King the Hill, just you know, kind of chill, not pretentious,
you know, but sneakily progressive andforward thinking and right in the heart and
the head. That's what I think. Anyway, he just feels like another
character on the show, doesn't Itdoesn't it feel like a celebrity guest start,

(01:07:15):
does he? He doesn't really know. Now we've reached the end of
the episode. Correct, King's notof speaking of the Hill, No,
no, but we've got well wehave them talking about they're playing the guitars
over the credits, but that's it. Yeah. Yeah, So that's why
I kept the end credits on.I mean I usually watched the end credits,
but not always, but this timeI'm like, oh, well,
you know, let's let's stick around. But a name and I don't know

(01:07:38):
if he's in it all the time. I'm guessing that he might be.
But man, Brad Bird had hisname in the credits as like a consultant.
Oh shit, okay, let's lookthat up. Because Brad Bird,
he's had his fingerprints have so manythings when it comes to animation, particularly
nineties now. Of course we knowbred from the from the Simpsons and that
also you know, a terrific filmdirector of things like The Iron Giant and

(01:07:59):
The Credibles and Mission Impossible, GoestProtocol. He was a creative consultant and
visual consultant in ninety seven, that'swhat he did. I mean, I
just think it's pretty neat that,you know, one of the primo animation
forces of the era stuck his headin the King of the Hill office and
said, hey, guys, andany help, And they said, Brad
go on in, buddy. Heseems to be one of the more credible

(01:08:23):
names in animation, doesn't he.Bradbird, Like everyone just has nothing but
positive things to say about him.Yeah. Yeah, I mean one of
the first sort of international trips Idid when I was working as an entertainment
journalist was Disney got in touch andthey said, we'd like to flag you
to Earl for the DVD release ofThe Incredibles. Like, okay, that's

(01:08:44):
awesome. You shouldn't want me topay you, but yeah, I mean
flew me over. I mean yeah, got to sit in a little theater
at while Bradbird sort of talked usthrough you know, they making the Incredibles
and something like this is a prettysweet gig and this is a pretty sweet
burger, the sweet gig. Yeah, a lot of time for bread Bert.
He just came across as a veryalmost like James Cameron in terms of
like, I can do everything andpretty much better than you. Yeah,

(01:09:08):
it's just it doesn't. It doesn't. You don't really see him doing many
like interviews or things like that.He's not very sort of public with how
like with his talents. But everyonejust knows. We haven't. I don't
think he's made a movie in awhile actually, with The Incredibles to his
last one. I think Incredibles Toowas the last one. That's a really
good movie, by the way,I think it's a great Elliott and Holly
love it. Yeah. Yeah,the Incredibles movies are fantastically They're really well

(01:09:32):
made, really exciting, and theydon't get put on the same pedestals as
other superhero movies. Now, whenyou think of superhero movies. They're up
there, man, They're great superheromovies. God yeah, yeah, Well
