Summary

Bart wants a brother, so he (kinda) kidnaps an orphan for a day. Honestly, this was a fairly weak story that was filled with the usual unjustified rudeness and angst that tended to pop up in the "teen era" of the show.

There's also a really odd South Park parody that doesn't seem to know why it's there.Despite all this, Dando was once again a big fan of the Homer/Marge story. Maybe this is confirmation that he is indeed getting old.

We also discuss "grape snakes", the best Monopoly token, the stand-out performance from Jordan Nagai and more.

It's, oh, brother, where Bart thou, I'm Dan.

1:14.4

And I am Guy. Neither was our brothers. No, I actually thought about this when I was watching this and I'm writing my notes and I went, I wonder if I ever felt the way that Bart feels. And I don't think I ever wished I had a brother. I don't think that thought ever came across. There were times where I kind of wish I had someone to kick the footy with, maybe. But I guess maybe because my sister, Stacey, shout out to Stacey, was always willing to sort of great and kick the footy and do things like that. I never sort of missed that. But that brotherly connection, I guess I kind of did. It would have been nice, I guess, to have that brotherly connection? What about you? You had four sisters, did you? Four sisters, yeah, and being the youngest of the family. You were Charlie. Correct, yeah, yeah. So, I mean, I know, it was a great way to grow up. I love my sisters very, very much. They were also a lot older than you. That's true, but I also, yeah, had a lot of sort of time to myself. Were you almost like an only child because I was so much older? To some degree. What's the age get between you and yet the youngest sister?

It's eight years. sort of time to myself. Were you almost like an only child because I was so much older? To some degree. What's the age gap between you and yet the youngest sister?

1:31.7

1:44.6

So by the time she was the teenager, you were still like seven, eight. So you were always like an only child, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I mean, she didn't want anything to do with a little brat like me. Yeah. Did I find myself wishing, oh, I wish I had a brother, or even wish they had a sibling close to my age?

1:45.1

No, not really.

1:44.6

I was pretty happy with my own I wish I had a brother, or even wish they had a sibling close to my age?

1:45.1

No, not really.

2:02.2

I was pretty happy with my own company and lost from a young age. And, you know, I formed good male friendships when I was young, and they were, you know, essentially like my brothers. J.P? Yeah, JP. Well, JP, who is the main one I'm thinking of. He was my best friend when I was growing up and still a very, very good mate.

2:34.2

We had a very nice catch-up the other night. Steak and beers. Good stuff. But he doesn't have any sisters. He has two brothers. Okay. And once I always envied their relationship, but I thought, that's a nice relationship about because they're very close. You can tell they're good friends as well as brothers. Sometimes it comes across my mind, I go, well, Nicola and I've produced this, you know, this prodigy athlete in Elliott. Maybe we should try and produce a couple more, make more money.
