Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Speaking of the Hill is brought toyou by the four Finger Discount Network.
Good morning, Shy. Goddamn,it's a sholly hank. It's like getting
the shimp. What the hell isgoing on here? Where are your pants?
We were hot? Tug them off. A man doesn't have to wear
pants around the house if he doesn'twant to. Yeah, what'd you got?

(00:20):
Damn blue jeans on four hank,Let's go take them off. I
don't want to take him off.Bobby, take your daddy's pants off.
What you're listening to? Son?I think you like it. Welcome to
Speaking of the Hill and a ShowingKing of the Hill podcast, where this
week we're hit to review the eighthepisode of the series. In his shins
of the Father, I'm Dando andI am guy, fresh from one of

(00:43):
my thirty daily reapplications of lipstick,and there goes one of my trivia questions.
What a great episode this was?This was good on multiple levels.
Yeah, this was hilarious, Thiswas cringsworthy, This was heartwarming, this
was uplifting. Yeah, it seemedto be saying this about every episode of

(01:04):
King of the Hill, but thiswas Pete King of the Hill. This
was top of the Hill this wasbut now this was very, very good,
indeed, despite introducing what may wellbe the worst human being in the
history of the world. Yeah,because we've only ever seen Cotton in flashbacks
at this point, and this isthe first time I've seen him in person,
and I don't know that he epitomizes. He's almost like King of the

(01:25):
Hills version of Zab Brannigan, don'tyou reckon, where he is so deplorable
and ridiculous that it's just funny becauseit's so horrible. It's a good point.
But Zapp is kind of pathetic,and then you can laugh at I
mean you can laugh at Cotton aswell, because he's pathetic in his own
way, but his particular brand oftoxicity it can leach out and infect the

(01:46):
world around him. I mean,I don't think anyone takes Zapp Brannigan seriously
at all, and no one,I guess no one really sees anybody.
It's hard to see Zach Brannigan asrealistic. No one's really quite like that,
where there are people like and that'swhy it's it's confronting it to a
point this episode where you're watching you'relike, I'm laughing, but this happens.

(02:07):
Yeah. I think I've actually knownpeople like this who have very retrograde
or backwards opinions, who aren't I'mbackwards about coming forwards when it comes to
sharing them and have just enough.I was going to say charisma, but
that's not the that's not the rightword. They have just enough. Actually
not even just enough. They haveso much conviction in what they believe that

(02:29):
they will just touted as gospel.And if you'll if you have just a
slight amount of doubt or anything likethat in your life, yeah, or
you're just impressionable, Yeah, yougo, well, clearly this is the
way to go about life. Thisguy seems to have it by the balls.
And next thing you know, you'rea toxic human because you've been exposed

(02:50):
to this toxic He's like radioactive man. Yeah, exactly right. And I
just think the way they balanced theridiculousness of the Cotton character with hank struggle
of his relationship with his father werein the sense that he respects his father
for what he did in the war, because no war veterans you respect everyone
respects the war veterans. So it'slike he loves him he's his dad,

(03:10):
and he went through this, helost his shins in the war, and
he's defended the country win World Wartwo. But he's just a horrible person.
That's like he's willing to see passit. But then once, eventually,
once he starts seeing the impacts havingon Bobby and the way it's affecting
Peggy, he's like, Okay,I need to draw a line in the
sand here and go when my familyis more important than the way my father's

(03:32):
behaving here. Yeah, we areconstantly seeing Hank evolved, sometimes in big
ways, sometimes in small ways,but each episode he is growing slightly as
a human being, evolving slightly asa human being, and this was a
good step for him. Let's backtracka little though. Yeah, we respect
the troops. We like to saythat how much veracity do we how much

(03:58):
do we believe Gotton's story. There'sno truth to it at all. But
the thing is, though, ifyou just if you are part of the
war at all, then you deservethe recognition. Absolutely. Yes, I'm
beginning to wonder if he was actuallyin the war, because it definitely was.
But the thing is, I youknow, I'm the kind of person
where if there was a war rightnow, I'd be like, ah,

(04:18):
no, I would never ever,I'd be terrible. I'd be horrible in
the war. I just I can'teven imagine what that life must have been
like where you were just forced togo to the war. So full respect
to any veteran out there who foughtany form. Absolutely sorry, I'm not
dissing no, no, no,the members of the military on any way,
shape or form. Here, I'mdising Cotton because that sucks. He

(04:38):
does suck. Yeah. But thething is what I liked about this episode
was it was there will be peopleout there who not even sexist people there,
but people that think it's it's twopro women's rights. This episode.
There will be people that probably thinkthat, but I completely disagree. I
love the way that you know whenwhen Cotton slaps the women on the ars,
right, so he slaps the waitress, does he slap peaking? Bobby

(05:00):
starts peaking, So he starts thewaitress on the ars. She doesn't really
defend herself, but when he doesit to Luane, a younger, stronger
woman who's grown up with different values, she defends a substrate away. It's
just it's nice to see that shiftin. You know, people who grew
up, say thirty years ago,just sort of copied on the chin that
that wouldn't the waitress does. Luane'slike, fuck this, old man,
you do it again. You're dead? Yes, never felt more admiration effect.

(05:24):
And Darro say it, what's theword I'm looking for? Damn right?
Last yes for Luanne who just yeah, yeah, told that I'm old
man. What's what? Oh?Rough this crap? What did you enjoy
the most about this episode, misterDavis, there's a lot. There was
too much. I wrote three thingsand when I have to stop here,

(05:44):
I'm just going to talk about thewhole episode. I thought this was this
is definitely my favorite so far.This was so funny for so many different
reasons. But yeah, you tellme yours? Okay, Well, my
final line of my notes hereies goodon your hank. Yeah, because this
is when he's in the car talkingwith Bobby and explaining his wife's his best
friend A hundred percent. Yeah.When he says Peggy's my best friend,
I was like, that's just awesome. You know, it's just so nice

(06:05):
that these two people have found eachother. But it's just lovely to a
cartoons show that's you know, foradults, have for kids, but as
pushing this message, it's just sucha lovely thing. I don't know whether
even the Simpsons really pushed the Maybethey did margin Homer being my best friend,
but I think it's more of adufus than Hank is here. Hank's
more of you know, confused bythe things in the world, where Home

(06:26):
is an idiot, you know.Yeah, No, Hank is a fundamentally
decent guy. And he looked perhapsnot the sharpest torm shed, but no
dummy by any stretch of the emaciation. No, he's just he is an
everyman. He's an average guy.Yeah. Yeah, So for him to
say this, it's like, well, yeah, this is the baseline of
what you should be thinking. What'swhat's amazing about this is that this add

(06:47):
twenty six years ago, right,You could show this now and still be
relatable. You can still like saylike this here, kids, is how
you're supposed to treat women, youknow, like, oh yeah, absolutely,
no more than ever. Yeah,because when getting this dumb ass rees
surgeons of you know, supposedly alphamales or whatever. Who was saying or
who are treating women like property ortreating women like meat. And you know,
these people are fucking idiots and shouldnot be listened to. They are

(07:10):
not serious people. Do not givethem the barness Skerrick of your time.
Yeah. What's what astounds me themost is that this show has been sitting
there for twenty six years and I'venever bothered to watch it. I think,
Man, I wish I've been experiencingthe show for the last one is.
I'm glad I'm watching it now.But what a show? Like eight
episodes in and we've already had someamazing episodes that I would compare against the
best of the Simpsons. Seriously,Oh ye, this was this was this

(07:32):
show was good right out of thegate. Yeah, yell, continue,
let's find out because we're new tothis. Other things that I enjoyed about
this episode. I'm sorry, bullyinghis pants up. It's so good?
Are you talking about about? That'smy kind of party tree, I imagine

(07:57):
that's what I'm I'm up to aparty to my night, and I imagine
that's what I'll be doing after I'vehad you know, like a like a
cocktail. In my notes, I'mlike, how is this not slating at
a party? I really dug.Everyone's very enthusiastic but always different pronunciation of
pinata and Peaky sort of putting thereal Spanish accent on it. Everyone's putting

(08:20):
a little hot sauce on it,pinata. And it's great because well,
we're industrious type shore At the fullFinger Discount Network, we are recording two
episodes back to back. Today weare doing Rainforest Schmain for us. The
another hilarious episode of South Park,a very good episode. Yes, in
the first episode of season three,which shows off Parker and stones ponchant for

(08:45):
doing Hispanic accent, which we'll hearmore of later on. Yeah, yeah,
yeah, I'm going about dah yeah, fantastic, love it, love
it, love it. Well,we'll talk about that when we can.
Well, but yeah, everyone everyone'ssaying pinata. Yeah, but Peggy putting
especially putting a bit of hot sauceon that one. Enjoy that quite a
lot. Um And look, Idon't like Cotton. I've been very vocal

(09:09):
about that, but I do agreewith him on one thing. When he's
watching an episode of Charlie's Angels anda Shelley Hack episode, it's like,
oh god, that's like getting ashimp wasn't and justifiably so in some ways.
I mean, if you're gonna watchCharlie's Angels, you watch the original
Holy Trinity of Fara Force A,Jackline Smith and Kay Jackson. You know

(09:30):
you can take your Cheryl lad maybe, but Shelly hack No, and certainly
not Tanya Roberts. It's funny.Charlie's Angels for my generation is just you
know that the movies I certainly hopenot the most recent Christen Stewart one,
which is an absolute but Lucy LouBarrimore and m Diez wasn't it? And
Cameron Yeah, yeah, three lovelyladies. I enjoyed, yet Bobby's Old

(09:52):
Guy and Luans stick Nut for stuffwhich I've already discussed. And the other
thing I've got is, hey,miss it, how bats some savages?
I was like, I have towish pause. I'm like, am I
supposed to be laughing at this?Because that is one of the funny things
that I've ever heard? Showed Nicolasas well. I'm like telling me if
this is a Kay to laugh at, and Nicholas bursting out laughing, like

(10:13):
okay, if she's laughing laugh aboutsome savages? All right, let's throw
a major shout out to actor TobyHusse voices voices Cotton, Yes, are
you sure he does? Doesn't hedo? Can't as well? He doesn't.
That's that's problematic, I say.But what's not problematic is his performance
as Cotton. Toby House is fantastic. He's a character actor has been around

(10:37):
for a while. Very sort ofaverage looking dude. I think he's probably
in his late fifties, early sixtiesnow or something like that. Hairline that
resembles guys um but just versatile isum. There's a term that American sports
efficionados like to use, five toolplayer, where it's like there's a good

(10:58):
utility player. They can do justabout anything. And Toby House is generally
regarded as a bit of a comedicguy. He's been a bunch of stuff.
But I watched this this movie onNetflix recently called cop Shop No Relation.
I'm going to drag out when guysoh references, let's that's the cob
webs off it. Um. Therewas an Australian cop show back in the

(11:18):
seven He's called cop Shop on Channelseven. Mandatory viewing for young guys was
Wow. The main streets of MelbourneShy is missing a good local crime show
now though it really is. BlueHillers carried the torch through the nineties,
but since since since Blue Hills hasthere really been a good crime show.

(11:41):
City Homicide was on for a whileone seven that wasn't too bad. Actually
water Rats, oh of course.But yeah. This movie cop Shop stars
the great Gerard Butler and basically asiege tiller. This this guy's been arrested,
put in a small town dale.He has to be assassinated because he

(12:03):
knows too much. So this copno this Krim played Budger but gets some
arrest to get into the jail,all manner of nasty stuffing sees. But
then Toby huss comes on board asthe uber assassin, and he doesn't look
like the kind of guy should beafraid of, but he is clearly the
guy who should be afraid of.He's the little, the little Asian guy
who's standing there doing nothing, andthen you realize, oh my god,

(12:24):
he can do everything, so he'sfantastic in that, and of course he's
fantastic as cotton. So yeah,shout out to Toby Hussum a good show
you make it. Canceled for voicingcan, but you will be forever in
our hearts for your portrayal of Cotton. I wonder if your voice can in
the reboot. I don't think that. I don't. No one's gonna let

(12:45):
that appen. I'm pretty sure JoeBiden would say, we're not allowing on
that. No, not at all. We're gonna take a presidential amendment to
say Toby Husk cannot voice someone whowas lay ocean. That's something that I
did. I'd like, though,I mean not like because because he had
experience dealing with you know, yeah, but you know that Cotton's clearly not

(13:07):
an unworldly person or he's seen andknows things, but he still has a
shit attitude. Yeah, any moreBrainbusters? All right, this episode March
twenty third, nineteen ninety seven,mister Davis, So trying to give the
clues a bit easier for you now, trying to get them right. So
the top three films Blockbuster, Brainbuster, Yeah, March twenty third, nineteen

(13:30):
ninety seven. Right, So thetop three films US box office? When
this a first clue sequel, secondclue Robert Palmer, third clue ablet Senior.
That one's a little bit if hebe can try and think about what's
famous with the Ablet Senior name andyou might be able to wake it out.
Okay, then sequel, Yes,goodness, very very for a very
big franchise, for a very bigfranchise. Nineteen ninety seven, we're talking

(13:52):
about Oh well, are we stilltalking rereleases of you know, the original
trilogy? And we're talking about theEmpire strikes Back? No? No,
no, no, what a freshsequel? Fresh sequel? Oh well,
that sounds a bit John Williamsy Sois it is it a world? This

(14:13):
and it's somewhat lost? Is ita lost I think it's just I think
it's called the Lost World colin JurassicPark or is it Jurassic Park the Lost
World? And so confusing because youshould have the third one is jursse Park
three? Just Jurssey Park two.Just stick with the numbers. Yeah,
it's so confusing, but um butyeah, so it lost the World.
I remember going to the movies tosee that. Actually, I think it
would have been so ninety seven.I would have been turning how old my

(14:37):
birthday, Yeah, would have beenturning nine. So my ninth birthday party
was a few mates going to seethe lost World, and I'll never forget
the two t Rex is ripping thatguy in half, and then my friends
going, like my friends, thereare a couple of girls their screen.
But yeah, I remember that.So number two the clue is Robert Palmer.
Well, you might as well faceit. You're addicted to Love m
Y starring Meg Ryan and Matthew Broderick. Not not a bad romantic comedy with

(15:03):
a slightly sour twist. It's good. I like both those actresses and actors.
So yeah, and here the finalone is Ablet Senior. I think,
what's the most iconic thing that goeswith Ablet Senior? Not football,
but him in him himself. Ohwell, I was thinking, God,
we'll think, look look at whatam I doing right now? Oh well,

(15:24):
you're holding up your hands, yeah, your fingers, palms? How
many other five? Five as theclue? Five? Oh the yeas a
fifth element? Yeah, that's theif you want to give you a couple
of is such an oblique clue?Not even a clue? I thought I

(15:48):
charged you with one thing. Yeahmuch fifth was third at the box office.
When this aird, I'm just likelost, the opposite of it's the
opposite of a clue. Yeah,but lost World of Element right up there.
So yeah, good good day,good time for movies, not a
bad time. Nineteen ninety seven.Did you check out the video that I
sent you the link that that thatYouTube channel has just got Like basically,

(16:11):
what this guy has done is hegets old news footage. It's just stock
stock footage, then filming at thefront of the cinema when the movies are
coming out and stuff, and I'mlike, look at that fucking lineup in
ninety eight, like oh my god, yeah, it's incredible. Yeah,
like all at the same time,like what's the avity? There are so
many images lad going around of likeyou know, MULTIPLEX marquees or drive in

(16:32):
marquees, Like just imagine you couldhave gone to the cinema and had these
to choose from it, Like ohyeah, now you get to the movies
down, it's like there might beone or two that you really want to
see. There's like eight movies andI'm like, this is madness. But
maybe it's just if you have thatnostalgia for it. I don't know,
maybe you like twenty years I lookback and go, oh, you got
to pick between guys of the Ghastlythree and this you know, I don't

(16:52):
know, but yeah, I reallyreally do enjoy that channel. I'll I'll
think it's a vampire something isn't Ican't remember, but basically I'll find it
out and put it in the Patreongroup. But yeah, it's a really
cool channel where it's just you know, shopping in a Kmart store in nineteen
ninety six and it's like, ohman, different world. Oh yeah,
there's one that I really like andI just sort of put it on as
moving wallpaper. Occasionally. It's abit of a synth wave soundtrack and it's

(17:15):
just someone's take a video camera tothe mall back in ninety one. Yeah,
yeah, and just hearing the sounds. Yeah, oh yeah. And
it's the music is like more music, but it's sort of done in that
from synth wave ways. Oh thisfeels as fresh as tomorrow, yet as
warm and cozy as yesterday. Iam a proud, ignorant woman, and

(17:37):
no one is going to change that. Now. That is the stupidest thing

gone for some pretty easy ones.I thought it give you give you a
chop out there. Then the threearmy pals that he had to save Cotton
one second, they are Fatty,Stinky and Brooklyn. Correct, all right,

(19:25):
what do you got for me?Cotton lives where oh I was going
to write that and then I didn't. Does it start with ce No,
it does not, but think ofWe'll always love you? Oh my god,
I want to Dad's or somebody wellNewston, Texas. Yes, I'm

(19:48):
like, why can I not thinkof her name? That's not Bobby Brown.
My next question is what does Cottontell Luan to eat? Um?
It looked like scrambled eggs, butit wasn't. It was yellow though.
It was cornpone cornpone? Correct?Yes, okay, how old is Ddy?
She is thirty nine, but she'sgot stuff in her that's younger correct,

(20:12):
bit of sas. And my finalquestion is Carton doesn't get sausages,
but what does Peggy serve him?Oh you mean for breakfast? Well,
he gets bacon, he gets steak, yep, clearly gets cornpone. He
doesn't. He doesn't say that though. Yeah, oh okay, he says,
okay, bacon something steak makes asausage. So there's there's one more

(20:34):
in there on the same lines asbacon. Yeah it ham, it's ham.
Yeah it's ham. Yeah. Therewe go from the magical animal.
It seems a bit redundant to servebacon and ham in the same meal.
I don't know the different textures man. Possibly Yeah, anyway, all right,

March twenty third, nineteen ninety seven. It was written by Alan R.
Cohen and Alan Friedland and directed byMartin Archer Junior. Alright, a lot

(22:00):
of Alan's in there. Okay,So the episode kicks off with Bobby's thirteenth
birthday party or they're setting it allup, getting it already, and they're
not having very much luck blowing upthe balloons. I've never been able to
blow balloons. I can blow themup, I can't tie them. I
have, like a I had thisweird fear phobia of balloons popping in my
face, and I just I justI always feel like when I'm going to

(22:22):
pull it in to tie it up, that it's gonna get bang. The
balloons popping just always gets me whenI'm even when I'm not scared by it,
it still gets me to an extentthat's wholly understandable. And I think
when you're a young person especially,it's like, oh, you know someone's
gone to all this effort, theyput their life's breath in this thing to
blow it up. But especially ifyou're close to it and you know I've

(22:44):
done I'll blowing it up and I'mgonna try this not bang. Oh man,
Yeah, that would really do anumbery particularly of something blowing up to
you, that exploding to you thatwhen you're that close to it. Um,
I'm out of practice, I gottasay. I think it took me
a long time to learn how totie are not in the balloon the big

(23:04):
first stretch you're gonna give it thatreal big long stretch at the stuf.
You don't give it enough room yourstuff? Yes, that's true. You
gotta shoulder whose boss? M exactly? Yeah? And Cotton's invitation has been
returned because it was delivered to Hellthe USA or sent to how it us
say? And Bobby thought, youknow that? She that Peggy said that
he's from Hell and I said he'sevil? Or how you know how you
are devil? Out of that it'sbeyond her. I keep forgetting that you

(23:26):
can't spell devil without evil. Obviouslythat was taken too account when their names.
I think that's some connection. It'slike where it was coming up with
words like m how do how howshould we describe the personication of evil?
Slapper day on it? Yeah,that works, let's get to launch.
There's some people who's just like theirminds blow when they find that, and
they're like, did you know Godis dog backwards? It's like, you

(23:51):
see, what is it that linefrom Apocalypse now or did you know that
if is the middle wood in life? You hear that at the right time
in your life, and whoa,that changes the thing that things for a
few people. Wait a minute,what's wrong with your grandpa? He's got
big plastic teeth, he screams allthe time. His legs don't work.
Bobby, never make funny or grandpa'slegs. He lost his shins defending Texas

(24:18):
and World War two. Now,son, pick up that phone and invite
your granddad to your birthday party.Okay, I grandpa, Bobby, if
you're gonna fake dial, you gottahit more than three numbers. And were
now at the party. The party'sgoing not too well. Bill's having the

(24:40):
time of his life on the slippingslide and he breaks through the fence,
gets himself a splinter. Then Bobbyis telling really bad jokes. He owned
your banana, Jake, I rememberthis being I think this is the first
joke I was able to execute.Besideslin why then you can cross the road?
That was the first one where whenyou're a kid and you're telling this
joke, you think you're really clever. Oh you think what a zinger.

(25:00):
Everyone appreciates word play. Oh yeah, and you know this, we got
what was that character's name, theone of such an absolute shitead like this
already boring, everybody hates you.I'm not sure who that character is,
but he is, well he wasfrom the episode the pilot. We've seen
him before. Yeah, but atthe base for me, remember their name
at the softball baseball whatever it wasBobby was playing. Yeah, yeah,

(25:22):
yeah, I wonder what it says. But yeah, he's a horrible character.
He's got a real beaver's voice ora real butt head voice. But
Peggy is she's angry that Cotton iscoming. She brings that the DD she
said number parts of every younger.So she's clearly a bit sassy, bit
bit pissed off about it. Imean, as you will be. I
wouldn't want Cotton come into my houseever. Oh god, no, I'm
just thank god I've got in lawsthat are lovely people. Man. I

(25:44):
just having in laws that are horriblepeople, just like paying the ars.
I just can't think anything worse.It's like, ah, having a deal
with them, now, you know, when you have, like, for
example, the vibe of like everybodyloves Raymond where the mother always puts down
the wife. It's like, Ijust I could not be that guy in
the middle. No, no,and you would have to be he.

(26:07):
I mean, I get the feelingI would probably default more to the Hank
mode where it's kind of like I'mjust trying to keep everyone peaceful, and
Raymond doesn't shake. It's your mom'smajor. Yeah, I'm just trying to
keep the peace. But you know, at some stage you have to take
us down. It's like you gavebirth to me. I really appreciate it
her. I love I chose her, all right. You know, I'm
in a tough situation here, butI want life to be I think I've

(26:29):
got a pretty good life apart fromyou too, buddy snarking each other.
Be good, make up, begood. Yeah, Bobby yum. He
wants some help to entertain the kidsthat we get there. What are you
talking about? It's very funny aswell. Yeah, Dad, I'm dying
out there. I blew up ablue with my nose. Nothing, I

(26:52):
did this thing. What are youtalking about? What are you talking about?
Nothing? Did you try burping thealphabet? That's my clothes? You're
Dad, we're talking about? Whatare you talking about? I tell you
what. Fat kids always funny.One man is a dangled John Candid,
John Belushi napping for Doug. DearGray, who wants the burger? What

(27:15):
take cat steak? The hell yousay? Did you win World War Two?
This ribi is for my daddy.Cotton's coming. Whoa hoo? If
I was Yukon, I damn scraybefore he gets here. Yeah, if
he finds out you're from Japan.You know how many times I tell you
stupid, I'm lea all shun.Even Dale's spout enough to go, Hey,

(27:37):
can you better watch you out?Cotton's coming, Wait till he finds
out you from Japan. And thenBobby is burping the alphabet and yeah,
not going too well at all?Is he really burping the alphabet? That?
Yeah, so he's doing a terriblejob. The thing is, what
are you doing? Look? Whyare you trying to edit? Why you
don't like a hired clown? Butwhy is he standing trying to entertain everybody?

(28:00):
But is he a born entertainer?I don't know. Is he trying
to well? He says later hewants to be a prop commack he's sharpening
those skills, except he didn't bringany props, like celery Head was a
celery head? Did he like tother celery Head? I think it was
celery Head. And Cotton arrives ona horse and just got here. What
an entrance, just flying in outof the out of what do these things
call it? That's just a horsetrailer. I'm mashuming they're called there,

(28:22):
and they called a float. Floatthat's right? You know me, I'm
larger than life. And then hejumps off and he's very short because he's
got no no shins. Bill thentakes advantage of the horse being rented out
and he takes the first ride.Hey, Hank's wife tell and he tells
d D the gab with Peggy likedgab with Hank's wife. And look at
her new tatars. What do youthink her mamma's new tatars? And they

(28:45):
went to Kinda together, which superawkward. I don't know how I feel
about d D. She seems sheseems lovely, but the thing is like,
is Cotton rich, Like what areyou doing? I don't know if
she's got like Stockholm syndrome or something. I don't know. She just seems
like she's, you know, partof a cult. It's a weird relationship

(29:06):
that one. Yeah, maybe they'lldove into it more as the show goes
on. But everyone's now loving theparty, goes, the horses there and
everything. Everyone's having a good time. And just get that builds about that
Bill saying he's loving the party,and that kid again your wife divorced you.
I was like, fuck off kid. Yeah, I like he's get
it. It's not in the showfor too much more. But Cotton then
a scard for in my time.I'm like, I'm getting like, I'm

(29:26):
getting uncomfortable now, as you should. Yeah, but he knows that he's
Loosian, Laosian lean. Cotton saysit with such yeah again conviction that I'm
inclined to think he's right. ButLaosian, I think that's what he says
Leaoshan. Yeah. But then hegives Bobby a gun which everyone thinks is

(29:47):
a super Squire but no, it'sa Winchester twenty gage shotgun. I'm like,
America loaded as well. Yeah,we find out it's loaded as well.
But Peggy takes it away and seethat hain't tell yo a woman.
And then I'm I got here Hankdefending cotton, which isn't the way to
go, but you know, youknew it was eventually going to end with
Hank doing the right thing. Butyeah, I can completely understand why Hank

(30:07):
felt like he was in between arock and a hard place at this point
in time. And Bobby, youknow, you can't break the pinyarda and
then they lower it, but hestill can't break it open. Dail cuts
it a little bit and he stillcan't break us. The cotton just says
fuck it and gets the shotgun andshoots it open. That was loaded.
You don't give it time with that. Batteries come and get your twot to
your roles. And so then nowwashing the dishes basically cotton, he covers

(30:30):
every element that is how to notbe a good person, so like or
when it comes to sexism, soyou know, Peggy's doing the dishes with
um with Bobby, he tells himto stop doing the dish because that's a
woman's job. That's woman's work,women's work. And then DD says,
I'll do it, permission granted.And then he says, cut neighbor in
front of your tartars got them cheap, both leftist. The delivery of both
leftists. I under stop the tape. It was so bloody, got him

(30:59):
chippy doom, both lefties. Bobby, come on over here, boy,
take off them pink gloves. That'swoman's work. Leave him alone. He's
a good Helperno whatever you say,Hillary Hutton, I'll do the dishes.
I like to her. Mission granted. Put an apron over your new bosom

(31:22):
too. Don't tell everybody got themcheap, both lefties. So, Bobby,
what you're gonna do with your life? I'm gonna be a prop comic.
I'm working on this bit where Istick green bean up my nose.
Well, now that sounds promising.Hey, Bobby, and we have decided
he's gonna stick vegetables up his nose. He's not gonna take over the family

(31:44):
gas station. Dad. I don'twork at a gas station. I sell
propane and propane accessories. Don't sayfor me, boy, you ain't too
big for me to give you alicking dunk. Come on, grease monkey,
let's tangle alright. Now you arebreaking my good dishes. It's time
for you to leave. Come on, I will fix you to go.

(32:07):
Plate. I love a good togo plate exactly what I've written here,
nothing like a good to go playoff. You're driving home, You're like,
I'm gonna eat this up when Iget home. That's that's the thing.
You think, Oh, I've gotdinner for tomorrow. You don't have
dinner tomorrow, No, I knowyou have. You've got a snack for
the right home. Yeah, halfgot the way home. Whatever left you
make us, whatever whatever is leftyou make with the sandwich the game,

(32:30):
it's like one rib and a bitof potatoes. I grat that's all you
got left. But that's one ofmy favorite things about Christmas is the leftovers.
Like I'm just like, I'm goingto have roast beef and gravy rolls
for a week, dirty great turkeysandwich with the cheesey potatoes on the side.
And she would never normally put ona sandwich. You just shove it

(32:52):
in there. You're like, oh, it's all left. I was just
mushed it all delicious. But yeah, So she's to go plate, but
the car won't start. We findout later on that Cotton has set this
up himself. Luanne, though againplaying on the fact that she understands her
cars, which I don't think theydo any further after this one. Apparently
she says, you know, Ican hear there's no Solinois plunger in this,
and he knows, well, thereyou go. Truth is you're a

(33:12):
girl, so don't understand. Hesays he's gonna have to sleep over.
But I do also like the waythat cotton. He knows how to manipulate
people as well, so he knowshow to get what he wants. So
he plays up the shins and hedoes it here. You know, I
can just sleep in a drawer becauseI've lost my shins in the war.
And that's how he's got everything he'salways wanted. Because he makes everyone feel
bad for the way he is,but it's like it's not everyone else's fault.

(33:36):
We respect that you went to thewar, but we can't let you
get away with the way you're behavingpurely because you suffered in the war.
If that makes any sense, Absolutelymakes sense. He's kind of a super
villain. He's on the he's upthere with Famos as far as I'm concerned,
and he's horrible. He's just likewe've all met that one person in
our life that you can just tellis just a massive manipulator, and it
just they make it be anxious tobe around. Yeah, and they're not

(33:59):
using your pat they're not using theirpowers for good. No, not at
all. And you know, Peggysays she does not want him there,
and Hank says, and you don'tunderstand because you're a woman, you know
where men were like peacocks. Iwas like, Hank, you are not
doing the right stop, stop,abort, abort, And he says,
well, too bad, Bobby,and I want him here, So you're
outvoted. She's low and doesn't wanthim here. Well, Jesus loves him,

(34:19):
so I win, and Peggy's furiousand ever here mister Khan, my
bag Christ thankfully. But the thingis, he doesn't really get he's come
uppings at the end. Does helike he gets sent home? So Hank
learns that. Hank basically reminds Bobbyand tells the viewers he's horrible, but
he doesn't get any come upants forthe way he's behaving. Not really,

(34:39):
No, but I mean hankers stoodup to him, which I think has
got to leave some dent in hisarm. Yeah, but it's almost respected
him for it though. That's true. Yeah, I mean, but again,
there's that part of the manipulation,as that part of the master plan.
Yeah, I don't know. Youknow, you've always got people out
that are like, son, I'vebeen witting your all that you'd punch me

(35:00):
in the face. Now you're aman. I was like, no,
I just want to punch in theface. Yeah. We come up a
commercial and Cotton says that he willdrive Bobby to school now, and he
asks if you fix my car?No not, you have just working up
at seven a year, he couldten graves by now. And then he
has the big rant about the nosesausage, and I just felt I felt

(35:20):
uncomfortable again watching this as you sawit, as he should, as you
were saying. But I'm like,mate, just cook your own fucking food.
Then, like Peggy's has to work, and he says no, woman
works, man loses, and Hankthen offers the truck pedal extenders. I
think as the pedal extenders. Isthat what they called. I think it's
what he says, something on thoselines, basically, so we can drive
hanks truck and drive Bobby to school. And then this is where he tells
Lauanta to fatten up you're all skinningbones, girly, but some gord bone

(35:47):
on them hips. I don't wantany grandfather. Hell, I don't want
to get fat. That's not foryou to worry about. You will never
know if you are attractive. It'sup to a man to'll tell you that
you keep eating and I'll tell youa windows staff cut me again and you'll
be wearing that corn pone old man. Good for her just threatening him,

(36:08):
but he appreciated it for doing feisty. That's yeah. I mean I think
he appreciates someone who'll meet him onhis level. Or yeah, maybe he's
looking for someone to challenge him.Yeah, I think that's what it is.
He's a bully, he is.Yeah, this is not me condoning
anything he does, but it's it'san interesting wrinkle in the character that you

(36:28):
know, he doesn't automatically go theminute he's challenge, kind of like okay,
now now it's a game, ornow you know, now it's a
horse race. I find that veryinteresting. I think what also too,
is that he wants a reaction outof people for what he's doing. So
he's sunk on. He asked,she gave him a reaction, but he
thinks so little of women that hejust doesn't see them as a threat.

(36:51):
So I mean, if a manstood up to him like this, I
don't know whether he would give thesame response. I think he would want
to fight him back. Where woman'slike ah, it's almost like he's laughing
at her for like, I'll lookat this silly woman standing up for herself.
I don't think you would ever seehim stick it to anyone, any
male other than Hank. And heknows he can do it to Hank because

(37:12):
like, you know, what,what are you gonna do? You're my
son? Yeah, so um yeah, but you know he's clearly monster.
It's just he's taking Bobby though too, to a bar because it's Andrew Dickinson's
birthday, hasn't taken him to schoolor he skipped school, and tells him
that he can order food. ButBobby's far too polite and help me get
there. Gonna get her in themoney makers. Christ excuse me, man?

(37:39):
Damn oh good, sweet, You'llnever get old service that way.
You gotta get her in the moneymaker. Hey, missy, how about
some sandwiches? I had to pushpause. I'm like this is too funny.

(38:00):
I can't believe that moneymaker was sucha term for that area for so
long, to the point where isthat there's the song shake your money Maker,
Like, oh, oh, that'swhat do you mean by that?
That the slap, and then justthat the fewer arrogance of it all,
and yeah, I just thought itwas so funny. Not that I condone
it, but it's just the waythey portray him, like they portrayed him

(38:22):
in such a bad way. Theyjust have to laugh at it. It's
just so ridiculous. And then weget the the guys were all standing by
Cotton's car trying to work at what'sgoing on. They can't believe that the
solinoid just completely disappeared. I've neverheard of that before. And David comes
up with some conspiracy about his cousin'skidneys or something. I feel like that's
really given Dale much to work within the last few episodes, Like he's
just sort of occasionally chimes him witha wacky conspiracy story. But that's it.

(38:45):
That's pretty much. Yeah, wehaven't seen a lot of depth to
him, have not yet, notin the last few episodes anyway. But
Luanne, she's fixed it. Andthen we get the story about how he
had the jumpsuit hank when he wasa kid and used to clean the front
of the car. I think,like, what peek us to wipe them
on it or something. Then weget the flashback to Hotel Land and I

(39:05):
saw this. I was like,oh, it's the terminus. In July,
which time we drive past the terminus? I always go to Nicola.
You know what that it? Shegoes, yes, your time. It
used to be a ship club.I know what it is because now it's
like apartments. I think it wasan antique shop for a while, but
it was. Yeah, now that'sbeen turned into a partners but I don't
think anyone's actually living at them.It looks very quiet and deserted, does
it. Okay? Yeah? Iknow. Yeah. So now you have

(39:28):
to take a detour and go downthe Litterari Street and go past Allycats.
It's not just acs now, here'sit Now it's called the the Ac Club
or something. It's called fancy.I've been there once and I will never
go back again. It's just sad. It was, yeah, it was.
It was sad. That's no otherword to describe it. It was

(39:49):
everyone in there. This seemed sad, both the patrons and the and the
staff. Yeah, it's exactly right. But yeah, so I'm here to
buy your hookers pick yourself a liveone. Then you know, this is
where Hank starts. You can seehe's starting to realize or wait a minute,
because he accidentally says, not manydads would do that too, his
son, yeah, as opposed tofour. Oh yeah, that wasn't fun

(40:12):
at all, That's why why didhe do that? Peggy has found the
sole annoyed in Cotton's draw and Hanksays, don't worry, he's going to
be gone soon, and Lawn walksin and says, I found the timing
belt in the laundry, So whyis Cotton's wanting to stay around? They
never sort of delve into that either. They never say to Cotton, why
did you do this either. I'mwondering if whether this is going to be
explored in later episodes. I hopeso, because he's quite needy. Because

(40:36):
yeah, because that's an element tothe story that needed to be crossed as
well. I think, like youneed to find out why does you want
to spend time with his family,because it's not I don't think he wants
to stay around because he wants toannoy them, because I just think he's
so oblivious to who he is.I think he just wanted to spend time
with his family, but doesn't.It's too much of a man to say
he loves to admit that he hasneeds to admit to loneliness or anything like
that. No, he's not thekind of person who would do that.

(40:59):
No, And then Bobby now watchingTV and I was got here. Guy
will love this scene. Guy,I did love that. So that's one
of Guy's favorites. It tell us, you know, man, it doesn't
have to wear pants, tells Hanktake him off, and Hank won't take
him off, and Bobby's just hada full It's like they've had a full
one aiding now. So basically Bobbynow loves cotton and Hanks just like,
no, I'm not doing what you'retelling me. Blah blah bay. It

(41:20):
tells Bobby to take off hanks pants. And this is where d D suggests
maybe we should leave. This isthe part here where I actually felt like
nervous, where he was like whatdid you say? And they look I'm
like, oh shit, Like thisis like this is across the line now,
But it turns out he just haddidn't have his hearing aiding properly or
whatever. I was like, okay, you got me, well done.
But then he calls her baby cakes, and I was like, stop making

(41:42):
me feel like I like this guy, Like he's just like, what do
you say, baby cakes? AndI was like, so he can be
nice if he wants to be.I don't know who's voicing DD, but
they do very very good work,because yeah, they do with only a
few lines, give you a realimpression of what it must be like for
the full to be sort of walkingon eggshells all the time, and why
are you doing this? I hopethat gets export as well. Yeah,

(42:06):
but the voice of d D fromKing of the Hill. Okay, so
it's done by Ashley Gardner, whoalso voices Nancy. Fine work by Ashley,
yes, definitely indeed, but yees. So getting back, you're right
though, she she definitely portrays theeggshell walking housewife stereotype, doesn't She very
very well where it's just like I'veseen this scenario in real life, so

(42:27):
sort of you can just tell yeah, I know you're making it seem like
it's happy family, buddy, ButI know that once you're at that door,
that she's horrified and scared of you. Yeah, and here's the thing.
I mean, I'm guessing that dD came from a situation that is
much worse. That's probably a bigpart of it as well. Yeah,
which makes it even sadder. Itdoes not to get things awfully grim when

(42:49):
we're talking about King of the Hill, but there's a bit of subtext in
this episode. Yeah. Peking andCotton then have a big argument over where
Bobby gets to eat his dinner,and then she asked Hack for some support
any sides of Cotton. I waslike, oh, no, you have
made a terrible mistake once again,buddy. But I can completely understand what
you're doing. But there comes apoint where youre going to stand up for
the person, as you said,You said it perfectly before, the woman

(43:09):
that you chose, the person youchose to spend your life with. You
weren't born into this family. Youchose her to be a part of your
life, and you got a sidewith them. And then Bobby slaps Peggy
and then this was a great linetoo. So we come up from commercial,
Bobby's in his room and Hank saysI don't know where you got that
idea from. And it's like,are you playing stupid? Are you just
in denial, like you've seen yourdad do it? What do you mean

(43:31):
you know? And Peggy says,well, I don't think he wants to
admit it to himself. He doesn'tknow, because it's clear that he respects
but we've had flashbacks in previous episodeswhere it's almost like he doesn't respect Cotton.
No, no, no, it'sit's a weird relationship, isn't it.
What's that old line is like isit better to be feared or respected?

(43:51):
And I think Hank is conflating thetwo because you don't want to admit
that you're afraid of the person makesup one half of you, because life
should never be that way. Thesepeople a supposed to the ones that they
batch into this world. They're supposedto nurture and guide you through life.
You never want to admit that,no, that they don't want you,
but they don't respect you, Like, yeah, there was the point in
my life where I felt like mydad did not respect me. And it's

(44:14):
a horrible feeling to have, youknow, Oh yeah, yeah, no,
I mean I had I had aterrible feel like that, like that
when I was a teammate, andit was utterly misguided. I mean it
was all self generated. I meanI thought, oh god, he must
have wanted any other kid. Butme? Is that because of the whole
football aspect, because you won't likeyeah, partly partly yeah, because it's

(44:36):
such a such a part of oursort of like community and the way we
are as Australians that like, youknow, guy plays footy, he signs
going to be a football as well. Like it's just and it doesn't always
it's probably like ten percent of theplayers actually do that, but you know,
but like there's that mentality of theold man's great football, you're gonna
be good football to two? Whatdo you mean you can't kick football?
You know? I feel like Ican't imagine what that would have felt like

(44:59):
for you. Yeah, oh yeahno. And I say that to my
absolute shame that because Bobby probably didn'tgive a flying fuck. He didn't,
but I felt that way. Yes, you know, silly of me.
I don't understand why, Yeah,definitely, but um, yes, so
what are we up to? Year? So yes, Hanks in denial and
Peggy says, you need to dosomething about it, and then he says
to her, what are you doing? Turning to some kind of feminist.

(45:20):
I'm like, what are you doing? He She's not a feminist, She's
just a normal person. She's justspeaking up for fucking moral rights. And
then she goes on her little ranthere, which isn't a rant. Rants
not the right word, just speakingsome truths. It's a declaration of independence,
essentially, what do you want meto do? I can't change my
father. Well, he certainly won'tlisten to me, now, will he.
You're both man, you're both peacocks. Remember what are you turning into

(45:43):
some kind of feminist? I amnot a feminist tank. I am Peggy
Hill, a citizen of the Republicof Texas. I work hard, I
sweat hard, and I love hard. And I got a smell good and
look pretty while I'm doing it.So I comb my hair, I reapply
lips thirty times a day, Ido your dishes, I'll wash your clothes,
and I clean the house. Notbecause I have to hank, but

(46:06):
because of a mutual, unspoken agreementthat I have never brought up, because
I am too much of a lady. Thirty times a day I completely sigh
with Peggy here. I know peopleget telling us that she becomes a horrible
person, she's annoying, but I'vesighed with everything she says in this statement.
Yeah, I'm not saying it sofar. But the thing though is,
after all, is that she saidthe one take the Hank got from

(46:28):
all that was thirty times a day. That's like, were you listening to
what you're saying, buddy? Neverget Cotton chatting to the guys, to
Hank's friends, and he's thinking ofstaying any jobs around here you allergic to
asbust us. Nope. And thenhe tells the story about how he lost
his shins. I told him howI lost my shins defend in our country.

(46:49):
You want to hear that story,Fatty? Sure, yes, sir
Bill, I'm trying to talk tohim. I was fourteen, just a
little older than Bobby, but Iknew Uncle Sam needed me, so I
laughed and signed up. And wehad beaten Nazis in Italy and they shipped
us to the Pacific Theater. Atoe Joe torpedo sent our troop ship to
the Bottle. I could only savethree of my funny fatty stinky and Brooklyn.

(47:16):
They were kind of like you fellas, only one of them was from
Brooklyn. Out of the sun camea toe Joe zero and put fifty the
blood attracted charts. I had togive him favor. Then things took a
turn for the worst. I meteit to an island, but it was
full of to Joe's. They weresitting on the US flag, so I

(47:39):
rushed them, but it was atrap. They opened fire and blew my
shins off. The last thing Iremember, I feed them all to death
with a fig piece of fatty.I woke up in a field hospital and
they were sowing my feet to myknees. I think it's called like Gradpa

(47:59):
Simpson on The Simpsons right where theseguys have been through hell. You don't
really know exactly what they went through, but you are willing to sit back
and let them fudge the story becauseyou know you've got to deal with what
you went through in your own wayof telling the story. This way makes
you cope and deal with the factand have to live with what you went
through, then so be it.You know what I mean, I'm fine.
I'm fine with telling a few littlewhite lies, and you know,

(48:21):
amped up a story to make itmore exciting. Writer's license if it's not
hurting anybody. But this is virginon stolen valor. It seems like because
I mean, honestly, that's thatstuff about the shipping torpedo and the sharks.
I mean, that's basically Robert Shaw'sspeech from Jewels. I liked the
beat him to death with a partof fatty. Well, I didn't you
feed fatty to the sharks? Whatdid you just grab one of his feet

(48:45):
and drag it back to the shore. I just don't understand. Had he
had a piece of fatty? Butyeah, I thought it was good.
And Hank, though he's supposed totell Cotton here that he has to go
do it, you can do somethingabout it, any chickens out because he's
just like, uh, you know, you've been through so much. I
can't I can't do it. We'renow at school and Bobby has just gone
full sexist. You know, he'swe get the first the first time he
calls car Junior Connie yea, soshe's now known as Connie on the show

(49:07):
Carnie. And he tells her tostop eating because she's getting chunky. It
must be a PBS and I waslike, oh, not good, not
good, funny pps. Obviously notgood. And then he says putting busting
the tray is women's work, andhe starts that food fight and yeah,
not good at all. So Hankis now at work and he's running through
the pros and cons of you know, who's right and who's wrong. You

(49:29):
know, Peggy does this, Cottondoes that, Customers just wants to buy
some profile you're talking about. Yeah, and it's like that. It's the
early the fat gag that you seeon social media occasionally where someone goes off
on a whole rant and then someonesays, so this is a Wendy's.
But then we get Peggy here.She calls calls Hank at work and tells

(49:52):
him that Bobby has started this likea little riot food fight over like a
sex I think a sexist riot iswhat she puts. Sexist riots, the
two words that don't sound good separatelyor together. And Cotton so proud of,
um of of Bobby for doing sothat he's taken him to a hotel
island. This is I love theway that they paid off. So the

(50:13):
little flashback earlier, you're like,whole ship but now it's become this fancy
hotel much like the Terminus. Youknow, it's not fancy now, but
it's like this, ain't that stripclub anymore? Is it's upgrade? But
Cotton so living in the past andhe's so blinded by the real world that
you still thinks it is because there'swomen everywhere. But these women are not
prostitutes. They are trial lawyers atan actual fancy hotel. Yeah, it

(50:35):
seemed like poor branding on their brothelspart to courts have hotel Island, although
I suppose they had to keep iton the down low. But yeah,
yeah, but even like the Terminus. Would you think the Terminus, I
guess it kind But it's because weknow it was. That was just a
strip club though, wasn't it's whyyou go for your final destination. Well
it wasn't a brothel that was orthat that you can they sometimes took upstairs
because there were rooms upstairs. Youcan stay at the Terminus. They were

(50:55):
in deep rooms upstairs. Did yougo to the mus You would have got
to the Terminus, wouldn't you.I went there for for a Bucks party.
Okay, what the upstairs where onecould get a prey the dance.
Um, it felt like a walkon the wild side. I mean,
particularly to you know, softest babyshitguy like me. It's like, oh,

(51:19):
it didn't seem like just from whatpeople have told me stories and stuff
that, you know, I haven'teven been to one stup cop in Melbourne,
but I'm like, okay, sothis is what a stup cup is
probably supposed to be. Like,I can't imagine the terminus was anything like
that. It just feels like it'sa pub with a few topless women running
around essentially. Yeah, I meanit was like, okay, yes,
this is a pub. Let's puta like a runway or a little stage

(51:42):
there with a pole in it,and you know, we can probably triple
our attendance. So yeah, that'swhat it was. Mabby. I'm proud
of you for what you did atschool today. So I'm buying you a
hooker. Go ahead, pick yourselfout, a live one, A live
one. Hey, kitty, yougot papers, Bobby, get over here

(52:05):
now. But Grandpa said, Bobby, you heard your mother. Get over
there. What are you saying,Hank, Are you siding with your woman?
Look at me, son, Lookat my shins. Look Dad,
I'm sorry about fatty and your shins, but I'm not a kid anymore.
Bobby is my boy, and Iwon't let him grow up to be a

(52:27):
woman hating old fool. No wonderMom left you. She was a strong
lady, classy and smart like peg. Maybe you couldn't handle that, but
I can. My marriage is apartnership of equals. Thank You might do
all the housework, but there area lot of other things that I'm supposed
to do, but I'm not gonnasay what they are because I'm a gentleman.

(52:50):
I won't get it. She's makingyou say this, look at my
shins. So he's like one lastchance to try and milk that you milk
those shins. He's it's kind oflike that as a thing possibly happen to
him, like losing your shins.Not the worst possible thing to happen to
him, but a terrible thing.But it's just used to his advantage for
his entire life. You know thefact that he's suffered this, this injury.
But you know, he says,you won't let Bobby grow up to

(53:10):
be a woman hating old fool likehim, And no matter I like this
here where you know no, nowonder Mum left you. You know,
he reads about how Peggy is astrong woman. I was like, go,
hay, finally, absolutely, yeah, the messages in this episode are
fantastic for all concerned. Yeah.I mean it's clear that that Hank's mother

(53:30):
finally just had enough of this dipshitand and walked. I mean bad bad
for Hank, clearly, but notgood for her. I mean, you
don't stay in situation. No,I mean if you can get out safely
and keyword if, because some peoplecan't. You know, some people,
as what I'm saying, some peopleare so controlling that they can't they won't

(53:51):
let their victims out. But whatI liked so much better. It's just
dawned to me that now we hadCotton being your dickhead for the episode slapping
the woman in the ars, andwe laughed at all that. Well this
episode does so well is it's justlike it puts all those moments in there
and you're laughing at it, butthen at the end to make you realize
he laughed at it, but justremember that's wrong. Yeah, So it's
like, yeah, it's not okayto laugh at it's okay to laugh at

(54:12):
the joke for this episode because youknow how Andy taught the right message,
but you see that in real life, you do something about it. You
do. So then he says,yeah, that Cotton believes that. You
know, surely you're just her puppet. You know, she's telling you what
to say, and says nope.DD's in the car and he says,
you're going to go home now.He said, I never thought i'd say
that day my son stopped loving me. It's about time loves for Sissy's tells
all the other hookers he's gonna beback next year, so don't be jacking

(54:35):
up their prices. Then we gotHank and Bobby now in the car and
they're at the diner in the carpark and he tells Bobby to to listen
to Peggy, not Cotton, becauseshe knows best. She's smarter than anyone
else in Ireland, and smarter thanall of these friends, because Peggy's his
best friend. And I was like, that's just yeah, perfect. That's
probably the What do you think ofyour favorite lines from Hanks so far?
I think that's one of my favorites. Yeah, everything he said there and

(54:59):
everything said to Cotton, and thescene prior to that. I think it's
just marvelous because I mean, Ithink some people might take away perhaps something
incorrect on misguided from that. It'slike, oh, well, if your
wife's your best friend, then she'syour only friends. No, that's certainly
not the case. I mean,it doesn't mean you're not allowed to have
other friends and other friends who umstimulate, nurture, and appeal to different

(55:20):
parts of your personality and different interestsin your life. But I don't know.
I think I think if you're goingto be spending the bulk of your
time with a particular person, uhsome of that intimate you know, you'd
better be really good friends with it. I mean, yeah, it's it's
funny. I mean, yeah,of course you're going to say that you
love the person that you love,but it's just as equally important to like

(55:40):
them. But I do think I'mexpressing myself too well. But I mean,
I think I'm fortunate enough to like, Nicola is my best friend,
you know, and I'm not embarrassedto say that literally is my best friend.
You know. I'd rather hang outwith Nikola than anybody really well natural,
but yeah, so yeah, Cotton'sleft and got hacking and probably the
car of course, and then hesays the last line of women were not

(56:04):
put on this earth to serve youand me, And a woman rolls up
and roller skates and serves them.But which is getting paid for it?
Yes, but I mean it's Ithink it's a good indicator of just how
smart and aware this show is thatit's able to end on a bit like
that. After it's like, Imean, they're not they're not sabotaging their

(56:28):
own message. In fact, they'rereinforcing the message. Yeah, but doing
it in a way it's kind oflike, well, some women are going
to serve you, but that's thejob. Yes, it's it's definitely getting
paid for it. It's not hey, give me a drink, you know.
Yeah, yeah, slap one ofthose rollerskating waitresses on the money maker
and you're probably gonna get the cheeseburgersbuilding your lap. I would love a

(56:52):
diner like that, just you classiclike fifty sixties diner where there's rolling and
rolls against guys all girl, Icouldn't give a who would is serving me?
But just like sitting in the cargetgetting your dinner brought to your window,
be awesome. Have a drive drivein there. I think I'd like
to visit it, maybe just oncefor the no soldier for the stale drove
it and I'd be like, hey, I think I'll just go through the
drive through human contact, no,thank you give me any day of the

(57:15):
week. It's funny. I goto maccas now ordering food for the kids,
and I it's because I have dealson the app obviously, but I'm
like, I go through the drivethrough and still order on my app so
I don't have to order to aperson. I'm like, what are you
doing? What is this world thatI'm living in? Well, I tell
you it's how you rack up thepoints as well, exactly. That's why
I do it. Yeah, becauseyou know it's been so long. Subside

(57:36):
macas come back Apple part What wouldyou do if I just left a quarter
pounder on your doorstep tonight? Oh? I need it please? It's amazing
how how you know you can justifyand rationalize certain things like well, I'm
not paying for this, I meanmaybe spirit maybe spiritually I am do you
reckon if I put like a particularburger on your doorsett from Donald's that you'd

(57:59):
