It is Thursday, July 31st, 2025, and this is your transfer update featuring the latest on Alexander Isaac, Louis Diaz's move to Bavaria, Eberichie Eze's potential move across London, and Granite Jacker returning to wearing red and white in the Premier League. Wonderful stuff. My name's Ryan Bailey. Joining me today. Hello, Taylor Rockwell. Hello, Ryan Bailey. Listeners, a bit of backstory. Before we started recording, I went on like a 10-minute monologue about my thoughts on the TV show, the miniseriescence, which Ryan has seen and Graham has not,

and they both indulge me.

So I thank them for that. But I'm coming in heavy, if not hot. We'll see how that changes over the course of this episode. Yeah, some gear changes afoot, I think, Taylor, is what's on the docket here. Graham Rutherland, hello. How are you? Hello, Ryan Bailey. I've been re-watching The Simpsons, so my 10-minute monologue is coming up, which, to be fair, is no different from a standard episode for us. So that'll fit in nicely. So I'm interested in the Simpsons re-watching journey, Graham. Can you trace the moment when sort of Homer, so Bart becomes the main character from Homer? Or is it the other way around? No, it's kind of, no, it's part started off as kind of the main character then Homer developed into it, right?

Well, Homer becomes the main character from Homer, or is it the other way around? No, it's kind of, Bart started off as kind of the main character, and Homer developed into it, right? Well, Homer, they basically, you know how with them, the minions and Despicable Me? Have you ever seen Despickel Me, Ryan? Are you familiar with those films, right? But the minions were like this. Yeah, they were like this site, thanks Taylor. they were like this side show and then people like the minions and were like,

oh, we're just going to lean into the minions doing stupid things. That's essentially what they did with Homer. Like they just, they were just like, we'll just make them an absolute idiot. I think it happens like what, season six, seven is when like the switch, the hand, the switch over there and tone comes. They flanderize Homer. That's a weird one. Yeah.

I always point to the Jurassic Park parody where they go to Krusty World and the robots become sentient.

And I think Homer delivers the line.

Nobody ruins the family vacation except for me or maybe the boy.

That feels like maybe when it became about the two of them kind of switching off, who's the main character? That might have been the same episode with the Bort license plates. Are you talking to me? No, my son is also named Bort. Come along, Bort. If this is anybody about Steve Allen, you're stealing my bit, is a top 10 Simpsons line for me.

So there we go.

I love The Simpsons as well.

Yay, that's more fun. That's more fun than Manosphere murder. Let's do Simpsons things. Yeah, I tend to find that is the case. And we're keeping things nice and fresh and contemporary with our Simpsons chat, of course, as well. Before we get to our transfer chat,
