Shall we play a game?

Come on honey, let's play the magic game

All rightily! Ooh, that was appropriate that I said all rightily Because today's TBTL summer game has to do with The Simpsons I just threw some Ned Flanders out there. Hi, I'm Luke Burbank. This is the TBTL Summer Games right over there. My friend, Andrew Walsh. Hello. Hello, Luke.

Welcome back to the TBTL Summer Games. I'm feeling it. That's right.

We have been recording these. We recorded a number of them in a row last week, and then some time went by, and now we're here doing a few more. I'm trying to remember, have any of them actually been games so far, or have they just been personality quizzes?

Oh, I think we played a game or two. How quickly we forget. Let's see. We learned what our ages are based on the food we like. I believe I absolutely destroyed a little game called Comedy Bang Bang or Dan Levitar Characters.

Oh, you really did.

How Petty Are You? That was a personality quiz that took us two shows. I'll let you read into that. And now here we are. It is day five of the TBTL Summer Games, and we have a quiz that is submitted not just by one of our listeners, But by one of my family members, once again, this is from Genevieve's sister, Julia, who adores the Simpsons. And the other day, well, here, can I read you her note? Julia says, you guys were talking about Luke's ponytailed nemesis the other day. And you, Andrew, mentioned Maggie's unibrow nemesis. You've brought him up a few times, and I was wondering if you actually know his name. That gave me an idea for this little quiz. It's not very long, but it might inspire a few tangents for hashtag content. It's actually perfectly long. It's a 10-question quiz here, Luke. I'm going to give it to you. I turned it into a multiple-choice quiz just because I feel like some of these are just going to be too hard if you were just guessing out of the blue these characters. Right.

Is one of the questions what is the real name of that unibrow baby?

I believe that will be the very first question. Gary. It's not the very first question. But I think that is in here. All right.

So this is going to be how does it what's the format exactly? It's multiple choice. So you're going to like I have to name the Simpsons character based on what the scenario.

No, I'm just going to say I'm going to ask you if you know certain characters, full names, for example. And I think we'll maybe get into this once we take a quick little break here. I don't know if you want to jump in right now. But, you know, there are a lot of characters on the show, Luke. I think this quiz is going to be interesting just as a reminder of all of the tertiary characters. Like, I don't want to get into it right now, but if my memory serves, like, Bumblebee Man is a character. Well, that character has a name, and you're going to have to tell me what that name is. That's the type of thing we're talking about here, right?

Yeah, I mean, The Simpsons is a rich topic for us anyway, even though I think you and I both stopped watching The Simpsons a long time ago. For reasons that I don't really personally understand because I loved that show and, you know, I'm assuming that it's still very funny. I'm assuming Homer Simpson is still more or less bad at his job at the nuclear factory. I'm assuming that, you know, Moe is still running the bar. All these things I love about the show and yet I just don't make time for it in my week. I wonder why that is.

Well, you know, I don't, I think it's kind of boring and tedious for people like me to say, Saturday Night Live isn't good as it used to be, isn't as good as it used to be, or The Simpsons sucks now. Like, I mean, these are conversations that have been had. They're out there. I will say, though, that, like, The Simpsons has been around for so long that they've gone through so many iterations of, I'm sure, writing teams and what have you. And I remember at one point, you know, probably maybe post-college, I remember feeling like The Simpsons went from being funny to quite cringy at times. You know, they fell into a – and again, I don't want to speak badly of The Simpsons because we're going to have fun here. And if people enjoy the – if people celebrate the entire catalog, why would I want to, like, kind of take that away from anybody? But for me personally, it felt like they went through a phase kind of in the maybe early to mid 2000s where everything kind of fit this format of Homer's got a new job. But they would try to work in some sort of like kind of topical humor like kids. That's never been their strong suit. Yeah. And they were really leaning on it for a while. Like, let's take on people being obsessed with their smartphones or something along those lines.

I've always said that the place that I thought the writers really tended to misstep was whenever they do a parody Well, with the exception of the Canyonero, which makes me laugh for some reason

When they try to do a parody of a specific company, I always point out Mapple as being like just Mapple feels like something Harry Shearer wrote. Like and, you know, I love Harry Shearer's contribution to Spinal Tap and the voices he does on The Simpsons are great. And, you know, the show had a place in my heart. But I also feel like Harry Shearer's comedy a lot of times is not for me. And sometimes I know he's not a writer on the show for the record. But I do think that there were some seasons where they tended to go to that kind of style of stuff that wasn't as much for me. But that being said, I couldn't really tell you where The Simpsons, where they're at right now in terms of how funny they are. I know that Christine Nangle, who we love, who does the Philadelphia accent, she wrote an entire episode of The Simpsons recently. So that's got to be good for something. And I do see people that I follow in the comedy world who are working on that show and are like, this is a dream come true. By the way, I wrote an episode of The Simpsons. And they're all people I think are funny. So that's got to mean something.

Yeah, they might be in a new phase where they're bringing in like kind of talented writers like that to give them an app. And I don't know if that was really a tradition early on. That's why I say like I'm not really in a position to say how good it is now because it's been so long. But I will say this. It remains a comfort. I believe in the whole Disney acquisition thing. I think all of the Simpsons went over there. But for a for a sweet couple of years there, if you had a cable subscription or whichever level I paid for, you had access to FXX, which, first of all, would just like play. I think three days a week would play like 24 hour Simpsons practically. And if you didn't catch it on one of those days through on demand, they made the entire Simpsons catalog available to you, like via your, you know, on demand TV, your computer, whatever it was. And I loved that. Like if I just sometimes was just like sometimes like sometimes the Simpsons is just a vibe, Luke. And you could turn on that. You could turn on that that like, you know, on demand thing and you could say, shuffle them up. Just put them in whatever order you want. And it was and then I'm just going to sit here for a while, maybe play around on my iPad, try to summon some trolls in Hearthstone. That's not really a thing you do in Hearthstone, but it sounded good in the moment. And just like kind of vibe out to the Simpsons for a few hours. Amen.

Yes. It's a comfort. It falls into that category of television that requires nothing of you, the viewer, but not because it's necessarily lowbrow or stupid, but just because, you know, it's if you walk out of the room and walk back in, that's fine. You don't have to rewind it. The episode may be hilarious. It may not. There's probably going to be a couple of good spoofs in there. Who is your who is the character on The Simpsons back in the days when you were watching him or actively who you were excited when you realized, oh, this episode kind of revolves around this character? Lisa.

No, just joking, because that was always a drag back in that era. And, again, I keep on couching this because I just don't know what era they're in now and if these stereotypes hold up. But I remember Lisa episodes. Everybody was like, oh, no, a Lisa episode. Lisa episodes tended to be a little bit more preachy. I don't – I mean, obviously, I think of – I love Moe and Barney. I think some of Barney's lines. But, like, for me, there were just individual episodes, Probably the ones that I literally had on VHS tapes and would watch over and over. And one of those, I mean, it's ironic that I was saying that later on the Simpsons did a bad job of kind of like mirroring or satirizing pop culture. Because back in the 90s, when I was a much bigger Simpsons head and loved Gen X culture, one of my favorite episodes was Homer Palooza, which had like Sonic Youth on it. I was obsessed with Sonic Youth.

Is that when he gets shot in the stomach by the cannonball? I believe so, yes. Was that a Smashing Pumpkins video or something?

I think he's like a stuntman at Lollapalooza. It was a composite of various things. But yeah, Smashing Pumpkins and Sonic Youth were both on that episode. And Sonic Youth did kind of a noisy version of the theme song that closed out the show that you would absolutely hate. But I was just so obsessed with Sonic Youth. And I couldn't believe that they were, like, on The Simpsons. Like, that was one of my favorite episodes ever.

I would say Moe is probably my favorite character overall. But also, this is maybe a hot take. The Mr. Burns episodes would – I don't know if I thought Mr. Burns was the funniest character, but episodes that centered around him would often seem to kind of produce really memorable moments.

Yeah, you're right.

Like, Mr. Burns, like, maybe one out of five jokes works, but that one is, like, one of my favorite jokes, you know, whether it's the radiola or, you know, ahoy-hoy when he answers the phone or, you know, chairs. What does he say? The great leveler. Like, there's just some Mr. Burns lines that are pretty classic, but I would have to go with Mo or Carl.

Anything Carl did, you know, I'm just there for it. You're right. The internet. It's the internetting in these swim trunks. I don't even know, is that Lenny or Carl?

I think you did Lenny there. I'm not sure, but I think that's Lenny that you did. Boy, this is going to be a tough quiz, I think, for everybody involved.

I will say also I'm a bit chagrined because my very favorite episode ever of The Simpsons is centers around Apu, which, you know, at that time was voiced by Hank Azaria and which now, you know, I don't know if they've retired the character or if they have somebody who's actually South Asian doing the voice, but I know it's not Hank Azaria anymore. And, you know, at the time, I certainly didn't factor any of that in. I just loved the episode where he comes and lives with the Simpsons because basically Homer has eaten bad meat from the Quickie Mart, and he just keeps doing it for some reason. Like, Apu tries to make it right with Homer after the first incident of eating some spoiled meat by offering him 10 pounds of frozen shrimp, which Homer notes is room temperature and has flies, and then Apu ups the offer to 12 pounds, and Homer then goes, woo-hoo, and then it just cuts to the ambulance is going back to the hospital. And there's so many moments in that episode that are just so genius. One of them is when Apu gets fired from the quickie mart, and the quickie mart, whoever's the head, two guys come, and they take away his pricing gun. And they also take away the pricing gun he has holstered on his ankle, sort of like in the cop drama, like give me your gun and badge. And then they also say you can no longer tell people about our fried pickles because he's wearing a button on his vest that says ask me about our fried pickles. And they take that from him. And then they go they finally go to visit the sort of like head of quickie mart who's like a wise man on a mountain and homer uses up a poos three questions by going are you really the head of quickie mart really really those are the three questions anyway just like so many great moments to me but then again it's all colored by the fact that that's a racist caricature of someone that's being done by a white guy so I guess I basically have to get a new favorite episode of the Simpsons is what I'm learning

With I won't I won't go into all the details, but I mean, if I had to pick a favorite, I know another one that I had on a VHS tape that I watched over and over and over was the crossover episode. Usually crossover episodes are not one's favorite episodes, but the one with the critic, which was, you know, kind of a short cartoon of its own with John. Love it. John. John love it. Thank you. Oh, that's really it. Thanks. Oh, man. And actually, that's on demand somewhere now. If you want to go back and watch old episodes of The Critic, which I was doing not all that long ago. But that's the Springfield Film Festival episode, and it's fantastic. It brought us such hits as this.

So then I said to Woody Allen, well, Camus can do, but Sartre is smart-tra. So original.

How troll.

Yeah, well, Scooby-Doo can do-do, but Jimmy Carter is smarter. There's also, because Homer is one of the judges in the film festival, and one of the movies is really arty, and it's by Barney, and it's about his descent into alcoholism, and it's black and white and really moving and just an amazing piece of art. And then there's another one where a guy just gets a football on the groin and doubles over, and Homer can't figure out which is the better film. And I believe the line, Julie is not going to like this because she probably actually has it memorized. But I believe the line is something along the lines of, well, Barney's film had heart, but football in the groin had a football in the groin. And sometimes that line just pops in my head or that paraphrase just pops in my head randomly.

Well, let's do this. Let's take a quick break and then we will come back and we will embark on this quiz that I'm sure I will do very badly at. Although I am helped by the fact that it's multiple choice. But we will get into this Simpsons quiz coming up in a moment here on the TBTL Summer Games.

This seems like something that you would enjoy, Luke. Sonic Youth doing the Simpsons theme song

are we gonna have our second professional argument about music

I don't think in all honesty I don't think I ever even really liked this so much but was I loved Sonic Youth so much and I loved a lot of noisy shit they did that you would hate but I just loved the fact that they did it and that they were allowed to do that you know like that was that was Let's get started.

you know, at the height of The Simpsons' power, and they're just, like, closing out with that. I'm with you. Like, just the crossover effect of that, I can see that being appealing. There are definitely a handful of Sonic Youth songs that I like, but they're probably their most accessible songs. Yeah, I'm sure. As opposed to their most kind of noisy, feedback-y, you know, type of stuff. All right, so that is Sonic Youth doing the end of The Simpsons, which leads us into this quiz. Which Simpsons character... Sorry, I'm on the John Lovett's Wikipedia page, not the podcast host, but the actor John Lovett. I wanted to see what was up with him. Let me switch back to Can You Name That Simpsons Character? And I have not clicked on the link. Do not. Because that would give me the answers. So I do not know the answers to this. Quiz Master, quiz when ready. Luke, are you sitting down? I am not only sitting down. I mentioned this on a previous episode of The Summer Games. I am sitting down, and my chair is backwards, which tells the listeners I am ready. for business okay and you're comfortable i am so comfortable i'm actually in a sweater if you can believe this andrew because i was running the ac in here and it's uh as we're recording this it's in the recent we're just recently out of the heat wave stuff and so i've just been by default or just kind of like running the ac a lot and i realized all of a sudden oh i made it too cold in this room so i turned the ac off and i've put on a sweater andrew wow that's that's where i'm

that's my reality it's still pretty cool here now we're recording this right off that heat wave um i gotta say if you told me that yesterday yesterday wasn't so bad but if we were having a conversation yesterday afternoon probably around four o'clock and you said that it was too cold in your apartment i would have been mad at you because things got pretty sweaty in this studio yesterday but okay i'm glad you're comfortable if at any point you uh are uncomfortable let me know but we'll go forward with this there's 10 questions number one let's start easy i think this is this is well i'm not trying to set you up for failure but i think this is a relatively easy one what is mr smithers first name now first can you get that without the multiple choice mr smithers whalen yes indeed giving you two points for that in fact because i didn't give you the multiple choice two check marks number two nice okay whalen smithers what do you think of whalen smithers as a character uh i'm pro whalen smithers i'm trying to think if early I mean, he's coded as gay. Right. But is it ever do they ever out at some point?

He might even come out. I don't have to be out at this point in 2021. Right.

Yes, I would guess. Were any of the jokes in the early days, though, at his expense in that manner? I don't know. I don't remember. And I don't think I like kind of was as considerate as our culture was not as considerate about those things back when, you know, when those episodes were new. Like, was there homophobia mixed in or a bit of gay panic? I don't remember.

Waylon Joseph Smithers Jr., usually referred to as Mr. Smithers or simply Smithers. Let's see here. They actually say – there's been some episodes. They say, in many ways, Smithers represents the stereotype of a closeted gay man. Numerous allusions and double entendre about his homosexuality are made, though some of the show's producers instead interpret him as Burns-sexual.

Yes, right, yes.

He's just attracted to Mr. Burns.

I actually love that. That's pretty interesting. Yeah, like an individual kind of obsession.

He did come out, by the way, in season 27, an episode called The Burns Cage. He came out as gay.

Oh, The Burns Cage. That's good. All right. Question number two.

Okay.

We go from Waylon Smithers' first name, which you got right away. I feel like we're really jumping. We're not turning the heat up too slowly here. What is Selma's iguana's name? Oh, my God. Now, I think when I give you these multiple choices, I think you'll get it. But do you even have a vague sense of it right now? I feel like it's some kind of famous person's name. Nope. Is that? Nope. Nope. Here, let me give you the options. Okay. Blub Blub, Jub Jub, Chub Chub, or Jar Jar? Jub Jub. Jub Jub it is. Congratulations, Luke. That's one point for you

I would have never remembered that in a million years But yeah, Jub Jub definitely Is there an episode that revolves around Jub Jub? Yes, I believe so

I'm trying to think, is she looking for a pet sitter? I can't recall The sad thing is, the more we talk about the Simpsons

It's Jub Jub Bouvier It's Jub Jub's full name And don't you worry, he does have an entire page I guess his name technically is Jub Jub Gurney because he was originally owned by Aunt Gladys. Oh, okay. When Gladys passes away, she leaves Jub-Jub to her sister, Jackie, which is Selma, Patty, and Marge's mother, who was highly unattached, unattached. to him and tried to stab him with a hat pin when Patty came to pick him up. Jub Jub then ended up with Patty and Selma and Selma adopted Jub Jub after Selma realized that he could live she could live without children until adopting Ling Bouvier. I don't remember the episode where they adopt Ling.

Nor do I but I do remember the episode because I was like I remember Jub Jub being a central character but I felt like there was something bigger going on and yeah I think the point of that earlier Jub Jub episode was Selma coming to grips and coming to the realization that she didn't maybe didn't want or didn't need children in her life. That's interesting. The name

Jub-Jub was coined by then writer Conan O'Brien. He often said nonsensical things around the office for no apparent reason. One of those things was Jub-Jub.

I love that guy. Jub-Jub

may also be a reference to the poem Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll, in which the narrator warns his son, beware of the Jub-Jub bird. Oh, yes. I remember that. Which actually would very much make sense, because Conan is a very well-read person, and so So you could imagine him internalizing some of the Jabberwocky poem. In May of 2013, filmmaker J.J. Abrams appeared on Conan's show to promote the latest Star Trek movie. At Conan's request, Abrams promised to work a Jub-Jub Easter egg into the next Star Wars film, which he had been appointed to direct.

And ironically, or aptly, one of my options was Jar Jar, also from the Star Wars universe. That's right.

By the way, stills on the JubJub page include JubJub smoking a cigarette, which I totally remember that scene for whatever reason. I think it's – is it Selma who owns him? Selma is like puts a cigarette in his mouth and is lighting it.

All right. Question number three. You're doing well. Only two questions, and you already have three points. Question number three. What is Sideshow Bob's last name? Do you want to take any guesses? Holy shit. I mean, yes. Is that how Alex Trebek used to do it?

Do I get extra? Yes. That's actually what LeVar Burton has been doing, which is why he's not under serious consideration to take over the show.

Has he started? Has he started?

I don't know. I've been seeing headlines about him, like interviews with him about hosting the show. So I think he's done the recordings. I don't know if they're out yet. I'm giving you three points for that one. Well, you know what's funny is this is probably helping me. Well, first of all, I obviously knew that information somewhere in the back of my brain. But there are so many things from The Simpsons that are named for places in Portland and streets in Portland. And Terwilliger is a street in Portland. And I was walking on Terwilliger recently, and it reminded me of the fact that that's Sideshow Bob's last name.

By the way, here it is. I was making such a fool of myself earlier in the show, which is kind of my lane. But, yeah, here, question number four. What is the name of Maggie's nemesis? I knew Julia had put this in here somewhere. What is the name of Maggie's nemesis?

i don't know i said gary as a joke earlier but i do wonder is it some kind is it an adult name like a grown-up name for a kid or is it like a silly name for a kid it's jub jub no here

harold gerald birdie or mortimer gerald gerald is right oh my god close that close that tab Are you on WikiFans over here?

No, but, you know, I mean, I was a big fan, and I've been a big fan of The Simpsons. I love it.

So that rung a bell. It certainly did. All right, question number five. What is Homer's middle name? You want to take a stab at it for two points without the options?

Well, it's Homer J. Simpson, right? Mm-hmm. So the J stands for... is it like a funny name or is it a like a regular name it's a regular name okay homer jay simpson

homer james simpson can i hear the option yes jeremy jerome jesterton or jay i bet it's just jay indeed it is that's such a good joke i don't remember this episode but genevieve helped me um with some of these multiple choices that we're coming up with. And she said that she remembered there's an episode where you find out his middle name, what J stands for, and it ends up being J, which is brilliant.

That seems very much like something that Homer's dad would do to him. Yes, yes. Grandpa Simpson. Right, right. Well, we couldn't have full last names, as was the fashion of the time.

So I tied an onion to my milk.

Terrible, terrible Abe Simpson impression, but whatever.

what is principal skinner's real name now this was a whole this was a whole thing what's his real name do you remember there's an episode where we learn that he's been living a secret

life it goes back i believe to vietnam i think right so seymour skinner is not his real name that's an assumed identity he stole seymour skinner's seymour skinner was a real person i believe

We'll be right back.

Like maybe somebody he was a NAMM with? I think so. And he ended up stealing that person's identity.

Does that mean his mom is the mom of this other person?

I think they get into it all in one episode. And then at the end of the episode, they say, now let's never speak of this again. And then they just move on with regular canon, which is kind of I think that that was a controversial thing. So I think some people love it and some people hate it. Right.

It's a bit of a cop out. But, I mean, we're talking about a cartoon world. Yes, but I thought it was hilarious.

I thought it was a way of almost teasing the hardcore fans. Like, okay, everything you know about him is fake, but at the end of the episode, let's just go back to the way things were. Seymour Skinner, Principal, everything's fine. Don't worry about it. Steamed hams. Here are your choices. Armin Tamzerian. Oh, that's it. Tobin Kurzweil, Konstantin Bardozovich, or John Coctosin.

How many beers in were you guys when John Coctosin got written?

Well, I put that in there. Do you recognize that name? No. John Coctosin is – I was several beers in to answer your question, but I put that in there because that's the assumed name that Fletch uses at one point during a Fletch film, and I love it. I think about it all the time. He has to make it up on the fly, and he says, John Coctosin, and he just kind of keeps going.

Dr. Rosenpenis?

That's right. That's another name.

It's Tanzarian. It's Armin Tanzarian. You are absolutely right. As soon as you heard it, you said, that's the one. Which is less fun. I'm sorry. I'll let you finish. No, no, it doesn't matter. No, no, it's more fun when we hear the whole thing. I just am like, oh, yeah, that's got to be it. So here's the thing. That sounds like a very Armenian name. And I didn't know any Armenian folks growing up. Now I know a lot of Armenian folks because I lived in L.A. where there are a lot of Armenian Americans. And Armin Tanzarian, it stood out to me as a kid or as a teenager because I was like, that's an exotic name. And then I probably know someone named Armin Tanzarian now. Really?

So when you heard that, and you jumped on that right away, it wasn't because you knew for sure that it was Principal Skinner's name. Like, you didn't remember that episode suddenly. It just was a name that stood out to you in some vague way.

Tanzarian, the name Tanzarian has lived in my brain ever since I saw that episode. Okay, interesting. Okay. Just somewhere in the back corner. Love it.

Question number seven. Only three more to go here. That stinks. No, I'm sorry. You have to say, love it.

um what is comic book guy's name whoa comic book guy oh now this is a tough one worst question ever point uh comic book guy's name i don't know if i've ever heard that so can you please

give me the option dennis kroger jeffrey albertson pierre aldi or fred meyer

oh my gosh i i'm gonna go with albertson jeffrey albertson is your final answer

yes you are killing it and i'm giving you the extra point for making me laugh with worst question ever in comic book guys uh i do really appreciate going with the uh grocery store

grocery chain last names so uh what i did there was i thought this is a really clever thing that you guys did with the with the fake names but i was like i wonder they probably wouldn't have done kroger because that's a real thing in la so it must have been albertson which they didn't have in la so some writer just thought that was a generic name for him but to us it is a grocery

store and then by the time you heard pierre aldi you knew it was a joke and fred meyer would have too weird okay question number eight what is professor frank's first name uh john right jonathan i'm giving it to you jonathan one point i want to isn't that a real person

i feel like there's a backstory on on on professor professor frank that was a horrible horrible professor frank impersonation i apologize it was terrible but it was theater I feel like there's some kind of story about it being John

oh wait did you already see his middle name oh no I did I'm sorry I ruined it you're losing points now I'm giving you negative three for looking that up

for the listeners who haven't looked it up let's go with the question because it's amazing

question number nine listeners this is just for you listeners you can win the game if you get this right. Email me at andrewatbtl.net if you get this right. Don't do that. What is Professor Frink's middle name? Poindexter, Dorkenheimer, Nerdlebomb, or Geekly? And Luke, the answer is

for all the marbles. Well, if I hadn't seen, if I hadn't accidentally stumbled across it, I would have definitely picked Poindexter.

Poindexter, yep. Which would have been wrong, because Poindexter seems like the thing they would have named him, but it is, in fact, because I cheated, Nerdlebaum?

Nerdlebaum, indeed. I'm not giving you negative three, I'm giving you negative two, because you're just trying to keep the show going. But that does take us, Luke, here to our final question.

So I'm basically eight out of nine, because I got that one wrong, because, I mean, I legit would have guessed Poindexter.

Out of a possible 10 points total, out of a possible nine up to this point, you have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and a half minus. Great. But then minus two would be nine and a half. So out of a possible nine, you're already at nine and a half. You're still ahead of the game here. Okay, ready? So question number 10, what is Bumblebee Man's name? You knew it was coming. What is Bumblebee Man's name?

I wonder if it's something that sounds I mean Bumblebee Man's character is off of Telemundo right? Yes So I'm wondering if it's something that sounds like it would have gotten its origin in Latin America or if they went with a different kind of humor which was a very sort of non you know is it like Jorge or something? Here are your

options. Okay Jorge Insectavio Pedro Chespirito, Buzz Smaldron, or Sting?

I think it's, I'm going to guess Jorge. I'm going to go with my first instinct.

You did think it was Jorge before I ever even said it, but you were wrong, unfortunately. It was Pedro Chespirito. Pedro Chespirito. Yes, I'm not sure what the backstory is there, or if there's a play on words that I'm not getting. We came up with Jorge Insectavio. In fact, I'm guessing that Genevieve did. That's a good name. So I'm not taking away any points from that, but you're not earning any either. So out of a possible 10 points, you end up getting 9.5, which is not bad. Not too shabby. Not too shabby at all.

Now, there must have been a whole thing with bees, because remember there was a Saturday Night Live? Speaking of John Lovitz, it stinks. Remember that was a whole thing they did with John Belushi? They were bees. And that was topical, though, right?

Because there really was some scare in the 70s about a certain –

I think they were like the killer bees or Africanized bees were coming for the U.S. or something.

And so I think that they created that character for that. Then the character just sort of stuck around. And then it does seem like this bee character is – yeah, it lives somewhere in that space between Telemundo and a reference to SNL. Yeah.

All right. So 9.5 out of 10. That's really good though.

and that's that's and then he kissed me sorry i'm wrong on that but one fine day does well there's a movie called one fine day which i think is very underrated it's george clooney it's michelle pfeiffer i believe it has a young anne veal in it egg oh meg uh her um meg uh whitman i think is her name in real life um i think she plays the daughter in the film one fine day it's a great movie a great little rom-com would recommend but anyway i also love this song it's such a good song
