[00:02:59] I'm still Laura.

[00:03:01] After all this time, right, we've reached the end of series three.

[00:03:05] We're exhausted. How are you all doing?

[00:03:07] This is the last episode.

[00:03:09] Feels like we're not even going out with a bang.

[00:03:11] We're going out with a...

[00:03:15] We're having a summer break.

[00:03:17] Yeah it's got to that time of the year again where...

[00:03:20] It gets too hot to record.

[00:03:22] It's not even peak temperature.

[00:03:24] We'll be back in like July.

[00:03:26] Absolutely mafting in this room but like...

[00:03:28] We want to go on holidays and stuff

[00:03:30] and it's really hard to when you've got podcasts.

[00:03:35] So... It's like a baby.

[00:03:37] Yeah it is. It requires constant attention.

[00:03:40] So we've reached our mid-year break.

[00:03:43] We have but it's been a good season. What have we done?

[00:03:46] We've done bagpuss.

[00:03:48] God that felt... That was ages ago!

[00:03:51] Oh my god!

[00:03:52] Pepper Pig. We've done...

[00:03:55] Tracy Beaker series two.

[00:03:58] Yeah. Young Dracula.

[00:04:00] The Saga.

[00:04:01] My god Young Dracula.

[00:04:02] This all feels like such a long time ago.

[00:04:04] We've fitted a lot of big ones into this series.

[00:04:06] Thomas the Tank Engine.

[00:04:07] Thomas the Tank Engine.

[00:04:08] Fimbles.

[00:04:09] Dick and Dom.

[00:04:10] Dick and Dom.

[00:04:11] Dick and Dom.

[00:04:12] Chuckle Vision last week.

[00:04:14] Oh yeah I've already kind of blanked Chuckle Vision.

[00:04:17] We've done a lot of...

[00:04:19] Not a lot but quite a few bonus episodes.

[00:04:22] Still got one in the bank that we've not edited.

[00:04:25] Two actually.

[00:04:26] Yeah you recorded with Jasmine.

[00:04:28] Again?

[00:04:29] Yeah so we're having a break but we've...

[00:04:32] It's a scheduled break.

[00:04:34] You won't be getting any episodes

[00:04:37] but we will still be recording and doing stuff.

[00:04:40] So if you want bonus content then...

[00:04:44] If you miss us very badly.

[00:04:46] Follow us on or subscribe to us on Patreon.

[00:04:50] We've got...

[00:04:51] We want to do a mailbag episode.

[00:04:53] Yes.

[00:04:54] Else you will tell you more.

[00:04:56] It'll be a bonus episode where we just read out and respond to messages.

[00:05:02] Things that you want to say.

[00:05:04] Things you have to say about children's TV.

[00:05:07] Things you want to say to us.

[00:05:09] Just something that you...

[00:05:10] If you have a comment or you know

[00:05:13] it could be an email, it could be on Instagram.

[00:05:15] Just get in contact with us and say somewhere in that message

[00:05:20] that you're happy for it to be on the episode basically.

[00:05:24] Also if you're on our Discord I can make a thread to submit these.

[00:05:28] Oh yeah that would be good.

[00:05:30] Yeah we can do that.

[00:05:32] If you're happy to say your name...

[00:05:36] How old are you?

[00:05:37] Age sex location.

[00:05:40] NHS number.

[00:05:43] And we'll be doing that as a bonus episode.

[00:05:46] Because it's a bonus episode if you're not subscribed to the Patreon

[00:05:50] but you still want to say something like

[00:05:53] either we will get you an MP3 of the episode to you or something

[00:05:58] or we potentially will actually release it just a little bit later

[00:06:04] so Patreons will get it first

[00:06:06] and eventually you'll be able to hear it.

[00:06:09] We wouldn't take your content and put it behind a payroll.

[00:06:13] We're not going to do that.

[00:06:14] Not permanently.

[00:06:17] We're also going to do an episode about nostalgic music

[00:06:21] which has been one that I specifically really wanted to do for a while

[00:06:25] and we're going to record a summer special

[00:06:31] which will be...

[00:06:35] High School Musical.

[00:06:36] Yay!

[00:06:37] Finally finally finally finally.

[00:06:39] Just the first one yeah?

[00:06:41] Just the first one for now.

[00:06:43] Just thought I'd check.

[00:06:45] So the reason that that's a bonus episode is because it doesn't exactly fit into the regular broadcasting.

[00:06:51] The remit of what this show is.

[00:06:53] So we're having a little departure for this series finale with an American show.

[00:06:59] I feel like we need to sort of justify why we're doing it

[00:07:02] and I think our justification is that it was on UK TV.

[00:07:05] Yes it was. I watched it as a kid.

[00:07:07] Did you watch it?

[00:07:08] We had Nickelodeon so yeah.

[00:07:10] Yeah they had American Telly.

[00:07:13] So that's how we actually define our seasons.

[00:07:16] It's just the time that we're not having a break.

[00:07:19] And also it's worth putting out there that we gave everyone four options

[00:07:24] and Rugrats is what they chose.

[00:07:26] Chosen by the viewers.

[00:07:27] Chosen by you guys.

[00:07:29] Obviously out with four that we wanted to do.

[00:07:31] What were they?

[00:07:32] So we did...

[00:07:34] Get your own back.

[00:07:35] Yes.

[00:07:36] Horrid Henry, Rugrats and...

[00:07:38] The Kipper?

[00:07:40] No it was one that no one voted for.

[00:07:43] What was it?

[00:07:45] Okay we're gonna find out for you.

[00:07:47] And in the Nightgarden which we have to do.

[00:07:49] We do have to do it but no one wanted us to do that for this season.

[00:07:53] So I think it's because our listeners are actually older.

[00:07:56] Yeah because we were too old for in the Nightgarden.

[00:07:59] Oh final bit of housekeeping.

[00:08:01] Thank you to everyone that's bought one of our posters.

[00:08:05] Yes thank you for keeping us going.

[00:08:07] Thank you, hope you enjoy them.

[00:08:09] And if you haven't got one it's limited edition merch so you can follow all the links on our social media

[00:08:15] and you will find our shop.

[00:08:18] So Rugrats.

[00:09:12] Anyone?

[00:09:21] So Meg was saying to me about 10 minutes ago that we...

[00:09:24] I mean we've all been watching quite a lot of Rugrats over the last few days

[00:09:27] and you said that you didn't have that much to say?

[00:09:30] Yeah annoyingly I just like it.

[00:09:32] I like it, it's good.

[00:09:34] I like the colours, I like the shapes.

[00:09:36] I really like the style, I like the voice actors.

[00:09:40] Annoyingly there's always more to say when you don't like something.

[00:09:43] Yeah I want to talk about the history of the Rugrats

[00:09:47] and by history of the Rugrats I sort of mean the history of Klaski Chupo.

[00:09:53] So Klaski Chupo is a husband and wife animating team

[00:10:00] who basically contributed to the, created the Golden Age of Nickelodeon.

[00:10:07] So the Golden Age of Nickelodeon is Rugrats, the Wild Thornberries

[00:10:12] Smashings!

[00:10:14] As told by Ginger.

[00:10:16] 90's 2000's.

[00:10:17] Ah real monsters, those ones.

[00:10:19] Right.

[00:10:20] So she's Klaski and he's Chupo.

[00:10:23] They're not married anymore but they were married for a long time,

[00:10:27] the whole time that they were colleagues they were married

[00:10:29] and they had two sons and those two sons inspired Rugrats.

[00:10:35] So their youngest son is actually who Tommy Pickles is based on.

[00:10:40] Tommy your daddy got the job!

[00:10:43] Instead of staying home and playing with you he's gonna go work every day.

[00:10:48] Don't be silly Chucky, my daddy went into that he always stays home and plays with me.

[00:10:53] Not anymore! He got the job now just like my daddy!

[00:10:57] Chucky listen maybe your dad goes to a job all day

[00:11:01] maybe other people's daddies go to jobs all day

[00:11:04] but not my daddy he stays right here at home with me.

[00:11:08] Mike's been very threatening to me this week.

[00:11:10] You've been very annoying.

[00:11:12] Listeners it's not always this highly struggle

[00:11:16] I don't know what it is about these two today.

[00:11:18] Something's happened that I missed.

[00:11:20] Yesterday she almost beat you up because she was mad at me.

[00:11:24] What? I don't remember.

[00:11:27] She was earlier when Laura apologised for being a bitch

[00:11:30] and then went right back into being a bitch.

[00:11:33] Yesterday Meg was really riled up and you were like what's going on

[00:11:37] and she was like threatening to punch you.

[00:11:40] I wasn't actually threatening I was just jumping around with my fists.

[00:11:45] I couldn't start over fine like it was funny.

[00:11:48] Like a sort of Charlie Chaplin character like stick them up.

[00:11:52] That's kind of what I was trying to reference but no one laughed at me.

[00:11:59] Earlier we were in the kitchen and I reached for the kettle

[00:12:04] that was full and boiled and Laura went that's mine!

[00:12:09] After apologising for being a bitch.

[00:12:12] I had quadrupled the amount of water you needed.

[00:12:15] I wasn't sure I've never made that thing before.

[00:12:18] So when she made her food because she didn't want anyone else to have that boiling hot water

[00:12:22] she just threw it down her neck.

[00:12:25] We went to A&E right after the end.

[00:12:30] I don't know what's got into us today.

[00:12:34] Are we just excited to be going on holiday?

[00:12:37] I'm not going on fucking holiday.

[00:12:40] Oh now I know why she's upset.

[00:12:42] I'm off to Edinburgh tomorrow.

[00:12:44] Edinburgh!

[00:12:48] That's two pickles!

[00:12:50] I want that nincompoop inventor here

[00:12:53] within 24 hours or another head will roll.

[00:13:01] Hello?

[00:13:02] Hello Mr Pickles?

[00:13:03] This is Kira Watanabe from Yoro Reptar.

[00:13:06] I'm sorry to call so late

[00:13:08] but the reptile that you designed is broken down

[00:13:11] and my boss is having a fit.

[00:13:13] Reptar's a hit? That's great.

[00:13:16] We need you to come to Paris on the next flight.

[00:13:19] Paris? Oh yeah, the city of lights.

[00:13:23] Madame kindly recommends that you

[00:13:25] come with my family and friends.

[00:13:30] Okie dokie!

[00:13:33] Hello Mr Pickles!

[00:13:36] Hey dude, we're going to France.

[00:13:41] No, I'm too tired to dance.

[00:13:45] France!

[00:13:47] So Arlene Klasky and Gabor Chupo

[00:13:53] or is it Gabor? Gabor? I don't know.

[00:13:55] Can I see? Chupo, yeah.

[00:13:57] Gabor. Gabor, ok.

[00:13:59] I think I know someone named that

[00:14:00] so I'm gonna confidently say Gabor.

[00:14:02] So they founded Klasky Chupo.

[00:14:05] In 1982 they animated from a spare bedroom in their flat.

[00:14:10] Relatable. Yeah.

[00:14:13] And they were known for creating logos and idents

[00:14:17] but like various...

[00:14:18] I can, yeah, very like advert flashiness

[00:14:22] from the 90s 2000 stuff.

[00:14:24] Yes. I can kind of see that, yeah.

[00:14:26] So they had like various clients

[00:14:28] and they would do that

[00:14:30] and then they got a reputation for being like really cool

[00:14:33] and really innovative.

[00:14:35] Moved to Hollywood, got a team of animators

[00:14:38] so their first big break was animating the shorts

[00:14:44] on the Tracy Ulman show known as The Simpsons.

[00:14:49] So it was their colourist, Georgie Kovacs-Peluche

[00:14:55] I'm so sorry about the pronunciation.

[00:14:58] He was, oh sorry they, I honestly don't know

[00:15:02] this is terrible but their colourist slash animator

[00:15:05] was the reason that The Simpsons are yellow

[00:15:09] and why Marge has blue hair.

[00:15:11] So you look at some of the characters from...

[00:15:14] Rugrats. Rugrats and they are,

[00:15:17] they've got unusual hair

[00:15:19] their skins are like a weird grey in the early ones.

[00:15:22] Yeah the twins are so grey.

[00:15:25] Quite scary.

[00:15:26] Do you think Aunt Jolly Call is right about the favourite?

[00:15:29] Nah she couldn't be.

[00:15:31] If Daddy and Mummy had a favourite they'd be much nicer to him.

[00:15:34] You're right. She treated it a lot better.

[00:15:38] Mummy and Daddy treated us both the same.

[00:15:40] Right exactly the same.

[00:15:42] So basically Gracie Films at first was like,

[00:15:45] we don't like that.

[00:15:47] So what they did was they appealed to Matt Groening

[00:15:51] who said the way that white people's skin is animated sometimes

[00:15:58] is a bit freakish and weird

[00:16:01] and having it be yellow takes away from that

[00:16:05] and makes it not like anything else that's ever been done.

[00:16:08] So Matt Groening convinced Gracie Films

[00:16:11] and then The Simpsons were yellow.

[00:16:14] So the reason they stopped, so they did that

[00:16:16] for the Tracy Ilman show for about three years

[00:16:19] then Gracie Films took over because of various disagreements.

[00:16:24] So they wanted to bring in their own producer

[00:16:27] and I think Chupo was like, no.

[00:16:32] No.

[00:16:35] Yeah basically the Gracie Executives were a bit miffed

[00:16:39] because they refused to comply with their demands

[00:16:42] and changes in the studio operations.

[00:16:45] So Gracie Films took over The Simpsons.

[00:16:48] Chupo actually said that he felt that they were trying to tell him

[00:16:51] how to run his business so they went their separate ways.

[00:16:56] So their youngest and Brandon inspired Rugrats

[00:16:58] which was their first proper TV show.

[00:17:03] Their oldest son actually died fairly recently

[00:17:06] at the age of 33 from liver cancer which is very sad

[00:17:10] and they're also divorced now.

[00:17:12] I don't know when that happened but yeah.

[00:17:14] Arlene Klasky is a Russian American Jewish woman.

[00:17:18] So she's basically Deity Pickles because Deity Pickles' parents

[00:17:22] Boris and Minska are Russian and Jewish.

[00:17:28] Yeah.

[00:17:30] Oh Mrs Pickles, you weren't dojo next week now dear.

[00:17:35] Geez well I guess we could try and squeeze you in somewhere.

[00:17:39] But Dr Litch, it's promised us the all natural Zen experience

[00:17:43] in the Tibetan terrace room.

[00:17:45] In my day, a woman just dropped her baby in the potato field

[00:17:49] and kept going.

[00:17:50] Ah yes, the old country room.

[00:17:54] Chupo is Hungarian so his family are as far as I know not religious

[00:18:00] and that's the same.

[00:18:01] Is that the dad?

[00:18:02] That's the dad yeah.

[00:18:03] Yeah he sort of says that there are nothing at some point.

[00:18:06] Right well Tommy Pickles is Jewish

[00:18:10] because it's his maternal side

[00:18:12] and they celebrate Christmas and Passover.

[00:18:16] I mean honestly if you do all of them

[00:18:18] you get the most presents and the most parties.

[00:18:20] Deity are you sure this whole ceremony is really necessary?

[00:18:24] It's so boring.

[00:18:25] Passover isn't boring, it's a very meaningful holiday.

[00:18:28] Well if it's so meaningful how come there's no presents?

[00:18:30] Stoo, the Passover Seder is a time for Jewish families

[00:18:33] to come together and retell the history of their people.

[00:18:36] We've been doing it for thousands of years.

[00:18:38] They're an interfaith family so Klaski and Chupo

[00:18:41] and writer Paul Jermaine that you might know

[00:18:44] from various writing credits and lots of cartoons

[00:18:48] they created the regrets.

[00:18:50] They thought what would it be like if babies could talk?

[00:18:53] Oh.

[00:19:17] How come all the grown-ups want to do is here Chucky say no?

[00:19:21] Yeah of course the adults don't know they're talking.

[00:19:25] Yeah so they actually to get around certain things

[00:19:28] a few seasons in they decided that if the babies were like

[00:19:32] in their prams being pushed around or something

[00:19:35] and the parents their faces weren't in the shot

[00:19:38] then the babies could talk to each other.

[00:19:41] So they can be in the room but stylistically

[00:19:44] they can't be in the same shot if the babies are talking.

[00:19:47] So more facts before we get into our opinions basically

[00:19:52] it's 13 year run ties the regrets with

[00:19:56] The King of the Hill as the 8th longest running

[00:19:59] American animated TV series

[00:20:02] and regrets is Nickelodeon's third longest

[00:20:06] running animation series.

[00:20:08] What are you laughing at?

[00:20:10] I flicked her knuckle and it really hurt.

[00:20:13] It hurt you?

[00:20:14] Yeah.

[00:20:15] Knuckles of steel over her.

[00:20:16] She does this a lot she'll hit me somewhere

[00:20:18] and it'll hurt her more than it hurts me.

[00:20:20] I don't hit her a lot.

[00:20:22] I don't hit you a lot because you hit me more.

[00:20:26] No I don't think I do anymore.

[00:20:28] Oh the words are pointing in time.

[00:20:31] The words anymore is doing a lot heavy lifting.

[00:20:34] The words please don't hit me.

[00:20:36] I'm a lot.

[00:20:38] You kept doing that and I was like

[00:20:40] I genuinely stopped cleaning.

[00:20:42] Ladies Rugrats is Nickelodeon's third longest running animation series

[00:20:46] behind SpongeBob SquarePants and the Fairly Odd Parents.

[00:20:50] So that makes it one of the longest running of all time

[00:20:54] basically 172 episodes which doesn't feel like that many.

[00:20:57] They are nothing on one piece.

[00:20:59] There's over a thousand which is ridiculous.

[00:21:01] Where's that from?

[00:21:02] Japan.

[00:21:03] Yes I thought you were going to say that.

[00:21:04] I've not watched it.

[00:21:05] I haven't got that fucking time.

[00:21:07] So it started in 1991.

[00:21:10] The final episode aired on August 1st 2004

[00:21:14] and that brought the total to 172 over nine seasons it was

[00:21:19] and there were three movies as we know.

[00:21:21] And there's the 2021 3D animated version.

[00:21:26] Yeah.

[00:21:28] Which is so...

[00:21:29] It looks terrifying.

[00:21:31] I've not seen it.

[00:21:33] It's also not...

[00:21:35] Consider it as 2021 it isn't good 3D animation.

[00:21:37] It's kind of like yucky old 3D animation

[00:21:40] that when you look at it is really off-putting.

[00:21:42] Yeah, really weird.

[00:21:43] Yeah, really weird.

[00:21:45] I feel like you might know about this Laura but I don't know.

[00:21:48] Have you heard of the 65 episode rule?

[00:21:52] No actually.

[00:21:53] So Nickelodeon and I think some other channels actually had

[00:21:57] a 65 episode rule for cartoons.

[00:22:02] Like upper limit?

[00:22:04] Yeah, so because basically that would equal 13 weeks of material

[00:22:11] to syndicate at one episode per weekday in the afternoon.

[00:22:15] Okay.

[00:22:16] Any more than that and it wouldn't be cost effective basically

[00:22:21] but Rugrats hit that 65 episode rule

[00:22:25] and so did Kim Possible and both of these shows...

[00:22:28] Kim Possible's Disney Channel though.

[00:22:30] Yeah, but these are like two of the first shows that did it.

[00:22:33] Oh wow.

[00:22:34] They hit that rule.

[00:22:36] So sorry the first two to hit that limit

[00:22:41] and get so popular that people just demanded

[00:22:45] that it be brought back.

[00:22:47] Like they were like this is so popular we can't not bring it back.

[00:22:51] That's fair.

[00:22:52] Kim Possible and Rugrats both rock.

[00:22:54] It's a party!

[00:22:56] You guys won't believe what they're trying to make me do.

[00:23:00] What Chucky?

[00:23:01] Yeah, what?

[00:23:02] They're trying to make me...

[00:23:04] They're trying to make me...

[00:23:06] Oh I can't say it.

[00:23:08] Just Chucky.

[00:23:10] They're trying to make me use that

[00:23:14] instead of my diaper.

[00:23:17] No that can't happen.

[00:23:20] Yeah, I wasn't gonna fit in your pants.

[00:23:23] But Chucky they can't do that to you.

[00:23:26] Those are doing it.

[00:23:27] They call it getting potty trained.

[00:23:30] It's the worstest thing that's happened to me

[00:23:32] since my mom put me on the bottle.

[00:23:34] What are you gonna do?

[00:23:36] I don't know.

[00:23:37] Let's try everything.

[00:23:39] Maybe you could put a lot of napkins in your pants

[00:23:41] and use them like a diaper.

[00:23:43] I tried it.

[00:23:44] Maybe you could poop in your room

[00:23:45] and hide it in your toy box.

[00:23:47] Tried it.

[00:23:48] Maybe you could just stop pooping all together.

[00:23:51] Tried it.

[00:23:52] It's no use.

[00:23:53] So 1998 was the first...

[00:23:56] Year of our birth?

[00:23:58] Year of our birth.

[00:23:59] So it's the second best thing that happened

[00:24:02] that the film opened in 1998.

[00:24:04] It was the first animated non-Disney

[00:24:08] feature length film

[00:24:10] to gross over a hundred million dollars

[00:24:12] in the United States.

[00:24:13] Nice.

[00:24:14] Like when it came out it was the number one

[00:24:16] US movie.

[00:24:18] Makes sense.

[00:24:21] He did it!

[00:24:22] He did it!

[00:24:23] Did what stew?

[00:24:24] Look, Dede, he got out of bed all on his own.

[00:24:26] He came in here and he did it.

[00:24:28] I'll say.

[00:24:29] Bravo, Chuckie.

[00:24:31] Way to go, Chuckie.

[00:24:32] You little potty animal.

[00:24:33] So because Klasky is Russian

[00:24:37] and Chupo is Hungarian,

[00:24:39] you can probably see,

[00:24:40] and we've spoken about this,

[00:24:41] their style is way more European

[00:24:44] than anything else.

[00:24:46] Like they weren't inspired by American

[00:24:48] or Japanese cartoons.

[00:24:50] They're kind of like clear lines

[00:24:53] and kind of cutesy.

[00:24:55] They are more inspired by a scratchy ugliness

[00:24:58] of like old Soviet cartoons, right?

[00:25:02] I love scratchy ugliness.

[00:25:03] We love Soviet art in this house.

[00:25:05] We do.

[00:25:06] Actually I got a big old Soviet poster once.

[00:25:09] Yeah.

[00:25:10] Where is that?

[00:25:11] It's too big.

[00:25:12] Rolled up because it needs a huge frame.

[00:25:16] It's massive.

[00:25:17] Or a lovely sack.

[00:25:18] Yeah, but I don't want to ruin it with blue tank.

[00:25:20] I didn't realize how big it would be

[00:25:22] and it's a series of Soviet posters

[00:25:25] but they've replaced the people with cats.

[00:25:28] It's great.

[00:25:29] Oh yes!

[00:25:31] I know.

[00:25:32] Yes, it's very cool.

[00:25:33] But yeah, that's the first thing

[00:25:35] I noticed about the Rugrats

[00:25:36] and it's one of the things

[00:25:37] I love the most about it.

[00:25:38] What do you think about the style of the art?

[00:25:40] I love it as well.

[00:25:41] I like the colours a lot.

[00:25:43] Like pink.

[00:25:44] Lots of pink.

[00:25:45] Very pink.

[00:25:46] It's quite lurid.

[00:25:48] Would you say?

[00:25:50] No.

[00:25:51] He wasn't lurid like sexual?

[00:25:54] No.

[00:25:55] Hang on, I need to google lurid and I will you do it.

[00:26:00] Oh no, you're right.

[00:26:01] I'm wrong.

[00:26:02] Oh it means it's both.

[00:26:03] I found this on the web for what does Laura woman with me do?

[00:26:06] What's he saying?

[00:26:07] Check it out.

[00:26:08] I don't know because you both ruined it by talking.

[00:26:12] So it's unpleasantly bright in colour

[00:26:14] especially so as to create a harsh or unnatural effect

[00:26:17] and presented in a shocking or sensational manner.

[00:26:19] Well there you go.

[00:26:20] That's how I like my sex.

[00:26:21] So I presented in a shocking and sense of off putting.

[00:26:26] Don't ask me any questions.

[00:26:28] I think I associated it with the sexual

[00:26:31] because like a lurid show is shocking and unpleasantly.

[00:26:36] Is that how you find sex?

[00:26:40] I think those are the circumstances in which I heard the word lurid.

[00:26:45] You're fully correct, I'm wrong.

[00:26:47] Thank you.

[00:26:48] I watched the pilot before that was how I started my journey.

[00:26:54] My journey yes.

[00:26:55] Well I did watch it as a kid but I didn't remember it very well.

[00:26:58] Also because by the time we were watching it

[00:27:00] it wouldn't have presumably been coming out in order

[00:27:02] it would have been random reruns.

[00:27:03] Yeah yeah.

[00:27:05] Hey you guys guess what?

[00:27:07] I'm going to the doctor tomorrow and I'm going to get a rooster shot.

[00:27:11] A rooster shot?

[00:27:13] What's that?

[00:27:14] Something to turn you into a rooster?

[00:27:17] No it's not.

[00:27:18] Yeah me too go feathers on a beak.

[00:27:21] No it's an lay egg.

[00:27:23] No.

[00:27:24] Crap.

[00:27:25] No.

[00:27:26] The rooster shot?

[00:27:28] Rooster shot.

[00:27:30] Rooster shot?

[00:27:31] What's that?

[00:27:32] The most terrible estate that'll ever happen to ya.

[00:27:36] What I like about it is the camera work which is

[00:27:40] I should have asked Betty about this really but

[00:27:42] you technically can call something camera work or lighting.

[00:27:47] The framing.

[00:27:48] The framing in animation so it's quite different

[00:27:51] in that it's really really dynamic.

[00:27:53] Yeah.

[00:27:54] Like.

[00:27:55] Yeah which is fucking hard.

[00:27:56] Yeah not easy.

[00:27:58] But like I'm telling you.

[00:27:59] The definition of hard?

[00:28:01] I'd love to have the frame count on their average episode

[00:28:05] because those kind of camera movements are going to

[00:28:07] exponentially increase it no matter what you do.

[00:28:10] Like I'm trying to think of an example of a show

[00:28:12] that is basically like what, is it like a side runner

[00:28:17] when?

[00:28:18] Dolly shot?

[00:28:19] No you know games where you're just running along

[00:28:22] and it's like Mario.

[00:28:26] Oh side scroller.

[00:28:27] Side scroller.

[00:28:28] Side scroller.

[00:28:29] Lots of cartoons are like side scrollers where you're

[00:28:32] just seeing a scene like yeah static front on.

[00:28:36] Like the Simpsons is right?

[00:28:38] Like you can see a lot of the Simpsons in

[00:28:42] in regress, in the layout of the house,

[00:28:44] in the shots of the house.

[00:28:46] Yeah.

[00:28:47] Kind of in the character design.

[00:28:50] It does look like they live in the same neighborhood

[00:28:52] as the Simpsons.

[00:28:53] It does.

[00:28:54] They don't I checked.

[00:28:55] They don't even live in Los Angeles.

[00:28:56] But the difference is the, and it's very European

[00:29:01] the way that the camera is tilted all the time

[00:29:04] or it's constantly moving.

[00:29:07] I think it looks incredible just the photographs.

[00:29:10] I mean it's quite again alarming and lurid

[00:29:14] but it's really good.

[00:29:16] I like it.

[00:29:17] You can, I don't know the chronological order

[00:29:20] some of these things but like Cartoon Network

[00:29:22] looks like a lot of shows in Cartoon Network

[00:29:24] probably took inspiration from regress

[00:29:26] because there's a lot of like overlap

[00:29:28] and how kind of grungy some of the shows are.

[00:29:31] What sort of shows?

[00:29:32] Courage the Cowardly Dog.

[00:29:34] It's ugly but in like a good way.

[00:29:37] Kind of the cramped twins makes me think

[00:29:39] that the cramped twins.

[00:29:40] Eddie is also really ugly,

[00:29:42] especially the collars.

[00:29:44] Someone called it trailer park animation.

[00:29:46] Yeah.

[00:29:47] That's something I took from Twitter just then.

[00:29:49] Like recess, like,

[00:29:52] I had one in my head and it's gone.

[00:29:54] Oh, oh, oh, be this a butthead.

[00:29:56] Yeah.

[00:29:57] It makes me feel sick to look at I hate it.

[00:30:00] Daria?

[00:30:01] Kind of Daria

[00:30:03] but Daria is kind of a side scroller sort of.

[00:30:05] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:30:07] But it does look very cool.

[00:30:08] Yeah.

[00:30:09] That was MTV wasn't it Daria?

[00:30:11] I think so.

[00:30:12] I haven't watched it.

[00:30:13] I just know what it looks like.

[00:30:14] Could this came maybe be a queen instead?

[00:30:16] Sure, well not.

[00:30:17] Anyway, one day it was foretold that a leader of the Hebrew people

[00:30:20] would rise up and overthrow the Pharaoh.

[00:30:23] Uh-oh.

[00:30:24] The Pharaoh is very worried.

[00:30:26] So he told the Hebrews to throw older boy babies

[00:30:29] in the Nile River.

[00:30:31] Well, it was pretty scary at the time.

[00:30:33] Let me tell you.

[00:30:34] So Laura sent me someone's master's thesis the other day.

[00:30:39] Not one that had come across my desk just to be clear.

[00:30:43] I googled this.

[00:30:44] Yes, this is actually about the program.

[00:30:46] Yes.

[00:30:47] So I'm going to read a bit of that because it was genuinely

[00:30:52] really, really interesting and it's about the Jewishness

[00:30:58] of the Rugrats and they basically,

[00:31:02] the writer of this thesis comes from a Jewish atheist family.

[00:31:07] It's like multi-faith.

[00:31:08] I'm actually not sure.

[00:31:09] Terry Maguire.

[00:31:11] Terry Maguire.

[00:31:12] Thank you.

[00:31:13] Terry Maguire.

[00:31:14] I'm going to go into you today.

[00:31:16] She just shrugged at me.

[00:31:18] Look, I missed my nap.

[00:31:20] I don't have an afternoon nap.

[00:31:23] You're just a baby.

[00:31:25] Wow, wow, wow.

[00:31:27] Very apropos for today.

[00:31:29] How are you going method?

[00:31:35] Oh, she messed us up.

[00:31:37] She just dribbled water all down her front.

[00:31:45] Don't mention my father's name.

[00:31:48] Can't you see how it upsets my mother?

[00:31:50] They spoke about how the episode of Rugrats called

[00:31:56] Passover is held very fondly by,

[00:32:01] is remembered very fondly by a lot of Jewish families.

[00:32:06] It's actually sort of annual viewing for a lot of Jewish

[00:32:10] families like it was just depicted really well.

[00:32:13] So basically...

[00:32:15] Everyone gets locked in the attic.

[00:32:17] How relatable for our breasts?

[00:32:19] Wait, no, that's not what it is.

[00:32:21] Brits are a different thing.

[00:32:23] Yeah, they get locked in the attic with Boris

[00:32:26] and Boris tells them the story of Passover

[00:32:28] and it's sort of acted out by the babies.

[00:32:31] Pharaoh saw something in the bull rushes.

[00:32:34] Hey, you'll send the bull rushes.

[00:32:36] So a lot of what happens in the show

[00:32:38] is that the babies will play games

[00:32:40] and see them as those characters.

[00:32:42] So when they're in the episode journey

[00:32:45] to the center of the basement,

[00:32:47] you can see them as explorers

[00:32:49] because that's how they're imagining themselves.

[00:32:51] I like it.

[00:32:52] I really...

[00:32:53] I wait for that to start when I watch an episode

[00:32:55] and I'm like, cool, who's going to be the Pharaoh?

[00:32:57] I know, it's lovely.

[00:32:58] I love it.

[00:32:59] The Pharaoh in this case was Angelica.

[00:33:01] Angelica, of course.

[00:33:02] We'll go through the characters in a minute.

[00:33:04] We've failed to do that.

[00:33:06] But yeah, I'm going to read from this thesis

[00:33:09] by Terry McGuire.

[00:33:12] Despite the fact that Rugrats is a cartoon,

[00:33:14] it provides an impressive amount of realism.

[00:33:16] The aspect has a direct correlation

[00:33:18] to the personal and family lives

[00:33:20] of the show's creators, Arlene Klasky,

[00:33:22] Gabor Chupo, and Paul Germain.

[00:33:24] To a large extent, the intermarried aspects

[00:33:27] of the Rugrats mirrors the lives

[00:33:29] of the married couple Klasky and Chupo.

[00:33:31] Klasky, the daughter of Jewish Russian immigrants

[00:33:33] and Chupo, an atheist born in Hungary,

[00:33:35] raised two children together,

[00:33:37] and they fought without their struggles.

[00:33:39] However, Klasky was not the only Jewish influence

[00:33:41] at the helm.

[00:33:42] Paul Germain, the third creator,

[00:33:44] based the characters of Boris and Minska

[00:33:46] on beloved Jewish grandparents.

[00:33:48] The personal elements and family inspiration,

[00:33:50] which channeled the creative energy

[00:33:53] of the team, made Rugrats an instant classic.

[00:33:56] We'll just bust out of this play minute.

[00:33:59] Uh-oh.

[00:34:00] What's wrong, Tommy?

[00:34:01] I left my screwdriver in my other diaper.

[00:34:03] Now how are we going to get out of here?

[00:34:05] There's Tommy.

[00:34:07] Tommy Pickles.

[00:34:09] Say what you want to say about his head.

[00:34:12] He's got such a lumpy head.

[00:34:14] His head shaped like a French fancy,

[00:34:17] like one of those fondant fancies that you get

[00:34:19] with a little lumpy bit on top.

[00:34:21] Him and his little brother, Dill.

[00:34:23] Dill Pickles.

[00:34:25] Are the most old men looking babies

[00:34:28] on telly.

[00:34:31] Yes.

[00:34:32] So you've got Dill and Tommy.

[00:34:34] Yeah, let's go by the Pickles.

[00:34:36] The Pickles.

[00:34:37] So you got Dede and Stu.

[00:34:40] I love Dede and Stu.

[00:34:42] I love Dede and Stu.

[00:34:43] You can see where Tommy got his head shaped right.

[00:34:46] Hey, we were watching that.

[00:34:50] Dede, I thought you were at work.

[00:34:52] It's summertime, Stu.

[00:34:54] School's out.

[00:34:55] I haven't been at work for three weeks.

[00:34:57] I knew that.

[00:34:59] Stu, we need to talk.

[00:35:01] But the Rockford files is out in four minutes.

[00:35:03] Stu, it's been months since you've designed a new toy.

[00:35:06] Dede, once I perfect the bubble-rama 3000,

[00:35:09] our troubles are over.

[00:35:10] This baby will make the world's largest non-toxic soap bubble.

[00:35:13] If that doesn't put Pickles toys on the map, nothing will.

[00:35:17] Unfortunately there's still a few kinks.

[00:35:21] I've been going over our bills, Stu,

[00:35:23] and I thought maybe if you got a job

[00:35:25] outside the house we could...

[00:35:27] Dede, an inventor of my stature

[00:35:29] can't be worried about petty financial details.

[00:35:31] My mind has to be free to create.

[00:35:33] Oh, well when does an inventor of your stature

[00:35:36] intend to finish this bubble thing?

[00:35:38] Did Mozart's wife ask him how long it would take

[00:35:40] to finish his requiem?

[00:35:41] Stu, Mozart died without finishing his requiem.

[00:35:45] Here's an ad.

[00:35:46] Consolidated lard is looking for telephone representatives.

[00:35:50] Consolidated lard?

[00:35:54] Well, I'm an official wage slave, Dede.

[00:35:59] Stu, that's great.

[00:36:01] Hear that, Tommy.

[00:36:03] Your father got a job.

[00:36:07] I'm so proud of you.

[00:36:09] Oh yeah, tomorrow morning

[00:36:11] Stu Pickles will be cold calling customers

[00:36:13] about the wonders of rendered fat.

[00:36:15] I was saying to Els yesterday that I think Chuckie looks like

[00:36:18] he could be Dede and Stu's son

[00:36:21] because he's like a mixture of both of them.

[00:36:23] Yeah, they're all...

[00:36:25] I think they're all family

[00:36:27] apart from the twins who are like very close family friends.

[00:36:31] So, Dede and Stu are just couple girls.

[00:36:36] I love them. They're so cool.

[00:36:39] They always work together really well.

[00:36:41] Although Stu is a workshop I lay about.

[00:36:44] Kind of, yeah.

[00:36:45] It was the 90s, you could be.

[00:36:47] Yeah, because all of the...

[00:36:48] No, you couldn't be. She had to put him to work.

[00:36:50] Oh yeah.

[00:36:51] All of the...

[00:36:54] You know what? Let's name the characters first.

[00:36:56] Yeah, yeah, we'll go.

[00:36:57] So, we've got the Pickles.

[00:36:58] Yeah, the Pickles and their grandad lives with them.

[00:37:01] Oh yeah.

[00:37:02] What's his name again?

[00:37:04] I can't remember his name, but the grandad lives with them.

[00:37:06] Grandad Pickles.

[00:37:07] So, the father of Stu lives with them.

[00:37:10] Then you've got Dede's brother, Chaz.

[00:37:15] And Chaz is a single father, father of Chuckie.

[00:37:20] It can't be done, Dede. It just can't be done.

[00:37:23] Oh no, Charles. Don't get discouraged.

[00:37:26] Everybody gets potty trained sooner or later.

[00:37:28] Not Chuckie. Not my son.

[00:37:30] He's gonna be taking diapers to work with him in his briefcase.

[00:37:33] Now listen, Charles. I've been reading all about potty training in lip shits,

[00:37:37] and it's really quite simple.

[00:37:39] Bye-bye, Chuckie. Be a good boy for Dede and Stu, okay?

[00:37:43] Use your potty. Don't eat any earthworms.

[00:37:46] Bye, Charles.

[00:37:47] Breathe any noxious fumes.

[00:37:49] Bye, Charles.

[00:37:50] Drink any radioactive waste.

[00:37:51] Bye, Charles.

[00:37:52] Or...

[00:37:53] My goodness. What a worry board.

[00:37:56] Chuckie is the bespectacled sort of nervous child

[00:38:01] who's kind of the voice of reason.

[00:38:05] He's like...

[00:38:06] I don't think that's a such a good idea.

[00:38:08] He's the voice of us constantly got a cold.

[00:38:10] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:38:11] Grandpa Lou.

[00:38:12] Grandpa Lou.

[00:38:13] Yeah, uh, Lou, Stu and Lou.

[00:38:16] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:38:17] Yeah, so Chuckie talks a bit like this.

[00:38:19] Like always sounds like he's got a cold.

[00:38:21] Like he sounds like he needs to go...

[00:38:22] Yeah, he sounds like he needs a parent to come up to him and go,

[00:38:26] blow.

[00:38:27] Yeah, love Chuckie.

[00:38:29] Chuckie's so cute and all of the most emotional episodes revolve

[00:38:33] around him not having a mum.

[00:38:35] Well, it's kind of complicated.

[00:38:37] See, this is what the world would be like if he was never born.

[00:38:40] Wow.

[00:38:41] Why is it so messy?

[00:38:42] Without you around, your dad just doesn't see any reason to clean up.

[00:38:46] So what do you want to do now, Saki?

[00:38:48] I don't know, Chas.

[00:38:49] What do you think we should do?

[00:38:51] Who's my dad talking to?

[00:38:53] Chuckie, you may not like what you're about to see.

[00:38:56] We could just watch C-span.

[00:38:58] They're showing the proceedings of the House Ways and Meets Committee today.

[00:39:02] My dad is talking to a sock.

[00:39:04] Who else would he talk to?

[00:39:06] You don't exist, remember?

[00:39:08] So Chas is...

[00:39:09] I mean, you can also very much see why Chuckie is the way he is

[00:39:13] because Chas is also like a very nervous sort of man.

[00:39:16] He's so stupid.

[00:39:17] Yeah, he's dumb.

[00:39:18] He's got a really bad case of the like incompetent parents thing

[00:39:22] that happens in animated shows

[00:39:24] where in order for the kids to be left alone

[00:39:26] or like the parents have to be just mind-blumbingly stupid.

[00:39:30] Yeah, they have to not be looking at their kids all the time.

[00:39:34] Head in the sand.

[00:39:36] Yeah, so you got Chas and Chuckie, adorable, very, very ginger.

[00:39:41] The whole DD side of the family is really ginger.

[00:39:45] Then you've got Stu's brother, Drew,

[00:39:49] and his wife, Charlotte.

[00:39:52] Business boss.

[00:39:53] She's like a 90s business boss

[00:39:55] and she actually says in the show,

[00:39:57] Girl boss.

[00:39:58] I'm a 90s business mom.

[00:39:59] Like I'm an organised business mom.

[00:40:01] She has a car fax machine.

[00:40:05] Okay, I've got to run.

[00:40:06] Bye, honey. Be good.

[00:40:08] Bye-bye, Tommy.

[00:40:17] I've got you.

[00:40:18] Honey, you know I'm staging a takeover

[00:40:20] of famous Ethel's cookie company.

[00:40:22] Well, I'm bungee jumping with the CEO

[00:40:24] of Cyber Systems International.

[00:40:26] I can't take the kids up on the balloon with me, can I?

[00:40:28] I can take care of the baby, Mommy.

[00:40:31] Of course you could, sweetie,

[00:40:33] but Mommy and Daddy would feel better

[00:40:35] if you had a grown-up around.

[00:40:36] Look, Drew, we're both successful executives.

[00:40:38] We can solve this.

[00:40:39] Let's brainstorm.

[00:40:40] What about Betty and Howard?

[00:40:41] Now they took the twins to the big tractor pole.

[00:40:43] They spoil those kids, Chas.

[00:40:45] He went to a therapist convention.

[00:40:46] Chas isn't a therapist.

[00:40:47] I know he's hoping a fine one.

[00:40:49] Well, don't we know any sitters?

[00:40:50] Well, yeah, but for some reason

[00:40:51] we have trouble getting anyone

[00:40:52] to come back a second time.

[00:40:53] To work with me.

[00:40:58] Are you sure?

[00:40:59] They're good kids.

[00:41:00] I'm an organized 90s mom.

[00:41:01] How hard could it be?

[00:41:03] So their daughter is Angelica.

[00:41:06] Yes.

[00:41:07] And the show just does a great job

[00:41:09] at like showing why the kids are the way they are.

[00:41:12] Yeah.

[00:41:13] Angelica is the way she is

[00:41:14] because she's spoiled.

[00:41:16] Yeah.

[00:41:17] Because the parents just give her

[00:41:19] everything she wants to shut her up basically.

[00:41:22] Permissive.

[00:41:23] Yeah.

[00:41:24] And the show's very good at saying like

[00:41:29] Angelica is like this because her mom

[00:41:31] is like this and this is bad.

[00:41:33] Like she's kind of a yuppie.

[00:41:35] Hold on, Jonathan.

[00:41:36] There's an alarming crowd at my in-laws

[00:41:38] indicating either a yard sale or a family tragedy.

[00:41:41] Let me get back to you.

[00:41:42] Hmm.

[00:41:43] It's very, very...

[00:41:44] Is that wasp?

[00:41:45] Is that what they call them?

[00:41:46] Well, kind of, but more a kind of

[00:41:49] stereotype of like the 90s boss babe.

[00:41:53] Yeah.

[00:41:54] Yeah.

[00:41:55] Well, because it's also they live in Los Angeles.

[00:41:57] So she's peak that as well.

[00:41:58] She's like on the phone to the Sultan of Brunei

[00:42:00] at one point.

[00:42:01] It's like, okay.

[00:42:02] What is your job?

[00:42:03] She is the boss of some...

[00:42:07] I don't know.

[00:42:09] I don't know.

[00:42:10] And Drew is an accountant.

[00:42:14] He's kind of like a lesser version of Charlotte.

[00:42:17] He's almost like a kept man.

[00:42:19] It's the first episode.

[00:42:21] He says he's in investment banking.

[00:42:23] Oh, that makes more sense.

[00:42:25] Yeah.

[00:42:26] But he's very like submissive.

[00:42:29] Like Charlotte's whole thing is that she's always

[00:42:32] on the phone to Jonathan who's her PA.

[00:42:35] Like she's always on the phone in every scene.

[00:42:38] All of her hair is scraped up into a pink scrunchie

[00:42:41] like right just above her crown.

[00:42:43] Always in a suit.

[00:42:45] Yeah.

[00:42:46] And you do wonder is she having like an affair with Jonathan?

[00:42:49] No.

[00:42:50] No way.

[00:42:51] Not even to her PA.

[00:42:52] Because then you meet Jonathan.

[00:42:53] He's her bitch.

[00:42:54] Yeah, you meet Jonathan and it's like, oh, this is a gay character.

[00:42:57] She likes men to be her bitch.

[00:42:59] True.

[00:43:00] True.

[00:43:01] Because you look at Drew and you're like how on earth did he get her?

[00:43:04] And actually she got him.

[00:43:06] Yeah.

[00:43:07] And it was exactly what she wanted.

[00:43:09] Yeah.

[00:43:10] Daddy, why can't I watch Shirley La Cones at our house?

[00:43:14] I'll never be able to hear it with that new baby squack

[00:43:17] in the whole time.

[00:43:19] Sweetheart, Daddy's got to put in a little overtime today

[00:43:22] so that mommy won't be so ashamed of his quarterly earnings.

[00:43:25] Hi, Uncle Stu.

[00:43:26] Sorry to hear your pony is so slow.

[00:43:28] But we don't have a pony, Aunt Yelike.

[00:43:30] Then how come you told mommy Aunt Titi got saddled with a loser?

[00:43:35] Loser?

[00:43:36] He, he, I, excuse me bro.

[00:43:39] My tax deductions are crying.

[00:43:41] You can't deduct them if you don't have any income.

[00:43:46] Because she's a, she's a boss mum who will always get what she wants.

[00:43:51] Which is why Aunt Yelike is a bitch because her mum is a bitch

[00:43:58] and her dad is a push out.

[00:44:00] But Aunt Yelike is still thinks he's better than his brother.

[00:44:05] Yeah.

[00:44:06] He thinks he's got a job for a start.

[00:44:08] Yeah.

[00:44:09] But the, what Stu?

[00:44:10] Stu is a toy inventor.

[00:44:15] They should, they should be extremely wealthy if he created the Raptor thing.

[00:44:20] I don't know if he did create Raptor.

[00:44:22] Okay.

[00:44:23] So he's in product design is what I'm hearing from his own basement.

[00:44:26] Yeah.

[00:44:27] He's like, I made this with paper clips and gum.

[00:44:29] Why didn't they follow my instructions?

[00:44:31] So Dede's a school teacher and he's an inventor.

[00:44:34] So they're very like the two main parents are quite artsy.

[00:44:38] They're quite Bohemian.

[00:44:40] They're quite artsy.

[00:44:42] They're, I mean they're all kind of if we set it where it, when it's set,

[00:44:47] they're boomer parents is what they are.

[00:44:50] But they're actually not that wealthy any of them.

[00:44:54] Well apart from Charlotte and Drew.

[00:44:56] Well, Drew because of Charlotte.

[00:44:58] Oh my God, Drew and Stu.

[00:45:00] And Lou.

[00:45:01] And Lou.

[00:45:02] Why, oh my God.

[00:45:03] I mean he's real on it.

[00:45:04] Yeah.

[00:45:05] Why would you do that to your kids?

[00:45:06] Well, you got Stuart, you got Druart.

[00:45:10] And you got Lewin.

[00:45:16] Oh, isn't that cute?

[00:45:18] It's almost like they're actually playing with each other rather than next to each other.

[00:45:23] Yes, but according to Lipschitz there won't be any real binary interaction for several months yet.

[00:45:29] Oh, have you read Lipschitz?

[00:45:31] It's my Bible.

[00:45:33] So what I love about the show is that I don't really know how to word this.

[00:45:41] I love the Bohemian nineties of all the parents.

[00:45:46] And the parents are what I love most about the show actually, which is really boring.

[00:45:52] Like did you, when you were a kid, love the parents the most?

[00:45:56] No, I didn't understand anything they were saying but now I'm watching it and I'm like,

[00:46:01] well these bits aren't for kids.

[00:46:03] There's a bit at the beginning of the film where Drew and Stu were arguing again

[00:46:09] and the kids start crying and Stu says,

[00:46:14] sorry, Drew, I've got to go.

[00:46:16] My write-offs are crying.

[00:46:18] And Drew says, you can't write them off if you don't have an income.

[00:46:21] That's so funny.

[00:46:24] It's also like they start the Paris film with a godfather reference

[00:46:27] and it's like what kid knows what's going on?

[00:46:30] With the actual godfather music.

[00:46:32] Yeah, what kid knows what's going on?

[00:46:34] They don't.

[00:46:35] It's very still enjoyable for a kid to watch but also that a parent is having fun as well.

[00:46:40] You come to me on the day of this wedding and ask me to take care of the boys who made your brother cry?

[00:46:50] Um, no, he'll just want some new binky.

[00:46:54] That's it!

[00:46:56] A binky? I don't get to squeeze no one's head or pull no one's hair.

[00:47:01] No.

[00:47:02] Binky piece.

[00:47:04] Dumb baby, can't even make a good wish.

[00:47:06] Yeah, so in her head Angelica has placed herself as the godfather.

[00:47:10] With the bobfather?

[00:47:12] Yes, the bobfather. They always call God Bob and it's explained away by her parents saying...

[00:47:19] I can't believe Angelica saw that movie last night.

[00:47:23] I can't mother and merger at the same time.

[00:47:26] Besides, she only saw a scene or two.

[00:47:29] It couldn't have made an impression.

[00:47:31] The bobfather? We found this in our crib.

[00:47:37] But yeah, there's like little lines where you can actually see that the parents have rich inner lives

[00:47:43] and you can see the way they operate as couples.

[00:47:47] Like in the potty training episode.

[00:47:51] Well, we need to talk about this episode because it's really dark but Chucky is getting potty trained.

[00:47:57] It's not really dark.

[00:47:59] It is.

[00:48:00] Okay.

[00:48:01] But we'll get to that.

[00:48:02] So I love the relationship between Dee Dee and Steve because they can see that Chucky is about to we himself

[00:48:09] and they like, it's happening, it's happening and they carry him to the potty

[00:48:13] and they're like reading each other quotes from Dr. Lipschitz which all the parents talk about all the time.

[00:48:23] Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile.

[00:49:28] In like a very by the book sort of psychological pop psych 90s way.

[00:49:33] Yeah.

[00:49:34] And they're like saying this to each other and they sit together to like make sure it happens.

[00:49:40] And it's like, they're such a power couple and they're just sort of as young parents

[00:49:45] working their way through what they think is best.

[00:49:48] And it's so nice to see them actually have lives and they're like characters almost equal to the babies, to be honest.

[00:49:58] Which I never noticed growing up.

[00:50:01] Like, sorry.

[00:50:02] No, no, you go there's a line where they're taking their grandparents like grocery shopping and Dede is like,

[00:50:08] remember to take the calculator and it's like, oh, that's so real.

[00:50:13] Oh, yeah.

[00:50:14] Why would you need a calculator to figure out the tax because the states are well, they're on a budget.

[00:50:21] Oh, as you go around, you also although yeah, I don't be shopping before what I would do is if I have to do that,

[00:50:27] I'll put together the order like online like Tesco's or whatever.

[00:50:30] They didn't have one.

[00:50:31] No, I know, I know, but because Meg just asked me quite a month for the question.

[00:50:35] So I've put it together online and then gone to the shop.

[00:50:38] But yeah, it is actually you make a good point about tax.

[00:50:41] It's harder.

[00:50:42] Yeah, I do.

[00:50:43] I remember being on holiday being like, oh, I would like this souvenir parents give me the exact amount that's listed on the shelf.

[00:50:49] And then you go to the counter and they're like, oh, it's actually like three dollars more and you're like, why?

[00:50:54] Like tax.

[00:50:55] I went, what do you mean?

[00:50:57] Why wasn't it included?

[00:50:58] Why do you do this?

[00:51:00] And then you've got the twins and their parents.

[00:51:04] So they're not related.

[00:51:05] They're family friends.

[00:51:07] So I can't remember the mum's name.

[00:51:11] She gives such lesbian energy.

[00:51:15] Well, she's called lesbian mum and little bitch dad.

[00:51:20] Yeah.

[00:51:21] It reminds me of Howard and yours truly back in third grade used to sit behind him in class poking him with my index finger.

[00:51:27] Really?

[00:51:28] Yep.

[00:51:29] Took him 20 years to figure out it was just my way of saying, I like you.

[00:51:33] So Betty Deville, Betty Deville and Phil and Lil Deville, Phil and Lil of the twins.

[00:51:39] If they don't scare you.

[00:51:41] And they are scary aren't they?

[00:51:46] They are the scariest of the children.

[00:51:48] They're so scary.

[00:51:50] Their skin's almost gray.

[00:51:52] I hate them.

[00:51:53] I hate the twins.

[00:51:54] I hate their rancid.

[00:51:55] I hate their personalities.

[00:51:57] I hate the joke that they're always like eating worms and shit.

[00:52:01] I don't like the twins.

[00:52:03] Who are they?

[00:52:04] You haven't let it bother you.

[00:52:05] They're like a fish pond.

[00:52:06] They go, oh, feeding time.

[00:52:07] They pull a worm out of their pocket and they eat it.

[00:52:10] And I'm like, no.

[00:52:11] Phillion and Lilip are their full names.

[00:52:14] Is that true?

[00:52:15] No, it's not true.

[00:52:16] Philip.

[00:52:17] Philip and Lilian.

[00:52:19] So their mum wears her costume, her like cartoon costume that she wears every day.

[00:52:24] A bike shorts and a massive jumper with a female symbol on it.

[00:52:29] It's so Princess Diana though.

[00:52:31] It is.

[00:52:32] Yeah.

[00:52:33] And she has like a sweatband all the time.

[00:52:35] She has a sweatband and around her wrists as well.

[00:52:38] She's always ready to fucking go.

[00:52:40] I love the names Betty and Howard.

[00:52:42] It's so 70s.

[00:52:43] She's so Princess Diana.

[00:52:46] Actually a lot of the parents, a lot of parents give the sort of 70s aesthetic.

[00:52:51] But I guess in the 90s people really liked the 70s.

[00:52:55] So that kind of makes sense.

[00:52:57] 20 year thing.

[00:52:58] Exactly.

[00:52:59] Yeah.

[00:53:00] Yeah.

[00:53:01] Betty and Howard.

[00:53:02] And in the remake they made the 2021 remake they made her an actual lesbian.

[00:53:08] They weren't brave enough to do it in the 90s but now.

[00:53:11] But now, yeah she is which obviously some people were not that happy about and other people were

[00:53:16] delighted about which you know I think it's good that they did that but I also really,

[00:53:23] really want to know more about the marriage of Betty and Howard.

[00:53:27] Yeah.

[00:53:28] Because Howard is so rarely in the Rugrats.

[00:53:31] You never see him.

[00:53:33] He's actually got a job.

[00:53:35] Yeah I don't know what it is.

[00:53:36] No.

[00:53:37] But I want to know more about them and they don't give it to us.

[00:53:40] The men in this show, the dads in this show are all massive pushovers.

[00:53:44] All of them.

[00:53:45] Where can they be?

[00:53:46] We got to find them.

[00:53:48] Find what?

[00:53:49] Einstein here lost the kids.

[00:53:54] I lost the kids?

[00:53:56] She?

[00:53:57] Yeah the Carmichael's are a family that live over the road.

[00:54:01] They are kind of actually you know motherland.

[00:54:06] Yeah.

[00:54:07] You know the family in motherland that are introduced in the second season.

[00:54:11] So.

[00:54:12] Stuart Lee head.

[00:54:14] No what?

[00:54:15] Anthony Stuart.

[00:54:16] Anthony Stuart heads.

[00:54:18] And his wife.

[00:54:19] Yeah.

[00:54:20] Meg.

[00:54:21] Meg, yeah so Meg across the road they're a mixed race family.

[00:54:25] She's black and she's like so incredibly competent at everything.

[00:54:30] She's like a guest lecturer in every.

[00:54:33] Dr Lucy.

[00:54:34] Yeah Dr Lucy is the Rugrats one.

[00:54:37] Oh sorry I'm sorry.

[00:54:38] Yeah so both families have an over the road black family that are better than them.

[00:54:44] Yeah.

[00:54:45] Like Lucy and Meg they're both similar in that they can make everything.

[00:54:50] They're amazing chefs.

[00:54:51] They're amazing mums.

[00:54:52] They're power mums.

[00:54:54] They're nice.

[00:54:56] They're creative.

[00:54:58] They're geniuses.

[00:55:00] And this is a trope that I've seen twice but I like it and I encourage it.

[00:55:04] There's an episode of motherland where Meg like she's abroad.

[00:55:09] She like flies back from like Germany or somewhere gets to the school to see one of her children run one of the races at Sports Day.

[00:55:20] And then she's like right I've got to go to Reading for a meeting and she's back for the mums race and it's like she's like I'm super mom and it's like.

[00:55:30] Did you get a helicopter?

[00:55:31] What the fuck?

[00:55:32] You're disgustingly good at everything.

[00:55:34] Yeah that's Dr Lucy in this and cut her, come on, I'm Susie Carmichael her daughter the one the daughter that's young enough to talk to the babies she's the same.

[00:55:45] Nice lamb.

[00:55:48] It's the curse.

[00:55:50] Oh well I'll make another one.

[00:55:51] You made that lamp?

[00:55:52] A couple of years ago I got into recreating Tiffany lamps from original designs you know just for a hobby.

[00:55:58] It's so perfect.

[00:55:59] Or at least it was.

[00:56:01] Thanks that's what the Tiffany company said too.

[00:56:04] I'm Lucy Carmichael by the way, come on in I'll introduce you to the family.

[00:56:08] They're not in all of them but they do pop up.

[00:56:11] I hate it when people are really good at everything unless it's me and then I'll allow it.

[00:56:17] But when other people do it it's like who do you think you are? Pick a thing.

[00:56:21] She has a little brother Edwin.

[00:56:23] Do you know his, do you want me to tell you his full name?

[00:56:26] Yeah sure.

[00:56:27] Edwin Winston, Cranstall Louis, Xavier Quincy Carmichael the third.

[00:56:34] The third?

[00:56:35] The third.

[00:56:36] Quincy.

[00:56:37] Are you saying there's like two others with that name?

[00:56:39] At least.

[00:56:43] Because the dad's called Ron so.

[00:56:46] Yes the dad is called Ron and Stuart takes, Stuart takes an immediate liking to Ron because he writes for one of his favourite cartoons.

[00:56:54] Dummy Bears.

[00:56:55] Hero worship.

[00:56:56] Yeah.

[00:56:57] Yeah, Dummy Bears.

[00:56:58] Dummy Bears.

[00:56:59] Should we talk about...

[00:57:00] Dummy Bears.

[00:57:01] Oh no.

[00:57:02] No.

[00:57:03] Okay.

[00:57:04] Yeah that brings back memories.

[00:57:05] I hated that song.

[00:57:07] I'm a gummy bear.

[00:57:08] Oh my god.

[00:57:09] Yes I'm a gummy bear.

[00:57:11] It's right up there with Crazy Frog.

[00:57:13] I hate both of them so much.

[00:57:15] I like Crazy Frogs.

[00:57:16] Crazy Frogs more of a banger.

[00:57:17] Crazy Frogs actually a banger.

[00:57:18] I've heard Crazy Frog in clubs before and people go nuts for it.

[00:57:23] I remember when it would be advertised on the telly and like it comes up with that box at the end being like,

[00:57:28] ring this number if you would like to buy this is a ringtone.

[00:57:31] Yeah.

[00:57:32] Did you ever do that with any songs?

[00:57:34] No.

[00:57:35] I did it with...

[00:57:36] I remember this.

[00:57:37] Starry-Eye.

[00:57:38] Starry-Eye.

[00:57:39] Starry-Eye.

[00:57:40] Yeah that's quite embarrassing actually.

[00:57:42] I had my first phone in the era of the Alvin and the Chipmunks movies where there was like a craze for like...

[00:57:51] Chipmunk or fire.

[00:57:52] Chipmunk or fire.

[00:57:53] Yeah turning up the pitch on every song.

[00:57:56] So I had the monkey's daydream believer Chipmunkified on my phone for some reason.

[00:58:02] It was like a Samsung slide-up.

[00:58:04] I don't think I paid money for it.

[00:58:06] I think my friend Bluetooth did to me.

[00:58:08] Bluetooth.

[00:58:09] Well I remember when...

[00:58:10] The four air drops.

[00:58:11] I remember when Bluetooth was fairly new and I remember thinking what the fuck's this?

[00:58:18] It'll never catch on.

[00:58:19] Can you believe that?

[00:58:21] There are...

[00:58:22] So this is a...

[00:58:23] The Rugrats is a difficult one to talk about because there's so much of it.

[00:58:27] Like I want to talk about the movies, I want to talk about the episodes I watched and like

[00:58:34] I'm sure that everyone who watched it has their own favourite episodes that they want to talk about

[00:58:40] and I do as well but I feel like there isn't enough time to go into that.

[00:58:45] So I might, because I know that you two haven't seen it, I might talk a little bit about the first movie.

[00:58:51] Yeah.

[00:58:52] If that's okay?

[00:58:54] So it takes the...

[00:58:56] This is where the character of Dil is introduced because it starts with Dee Dee being pregnant

[00:59:01] and then after that movie Dil is in the whole series.

[00:59:05] Yup.

[00:59:06] It's for my new sister.

[00:59:08] Are we gonna find her Tommy?

[00:59:10] Yeah.

[00:59:11] We don't even know what she looks like.

[00:59:13] She's a girl like me that we know she'll be pretty full.

[00:59:18] Oh brother, you dumb babies got a lot to learn about the facts of lies.

[00:59:23] Now get out of my way!

[00:59:25] I gotta get back to the dessert table before the grown-ups get all the good stuff.

[00:59:29] Angelica, can you help us find my baby sister?

[00:59:33] I wouldn't be in such a big hurry if I was you Tommy.

[00:59:36] Because when the new baby gets here, she's gonna get all the toys and the love and the attentions.

[00:59:42] And your mommy and daddy will forget all about you.

[00:59:46] It'll be like, look dude, there's that little bald kid in the house again.

[00:59:51] Why mommy and daddy won't forget me?

[00:59:53] That's what Spike said before you were born.

[00:59:57] Back when his name was Paul.

[00:59:59] Paul?

[01:00:00] Yeah.

[01:00:01] But then you came along and they put him out in the rain

[01:00:04] and he turned into a dog.

[01:00:06] That's not gonna happen to me Angelica.

[01:00:08] My mommy and daddy will love me no matter what.

[01:00:12] And the second movie, Rugrats in Paris, that's when Chas remaries

[01:00:16] and Kimmy and Kira.

[01:00:20] Kira is the new mom of wife, yes, of Chucky

[01:00:26] and he gets a sister called Kimmy.

[01:00:29] So after that film they are also in the show.

[01:00:33] But the first movie, I watched a lot as a kid actually

[01:00:37] and I can't remember why we owned the video of that but...

[01:00:41] Here's an hour long thing to put on for your kids that's bright coloured

[01:00:45] but the parents will still enjoy.

[01:00:46] It's like two hours or something.

[01:00:48] Keeps you occupied.

[01:00:49] It really takes to extreme that idea that the parents don't watch the kids

[01:00:55] because in the first movie they basically go get out the door

[01:01:01] and find themselves in like a surrounding forest

[01:01:05] like around their town and there's like a whole search

[01:01:09] like there's helicopters involved because they've watched the kids.

[01:01:12] I remember this, yeah.

[01:01:13] It looks kind of like a park.

[01:01:22] What is it? Bigger than...

[01:01:24] Bigger? This place has been ruined by the park

[01:01:28] and the backyard all put together.

[01:01:33] This is bad you guys. This is bad.

[01:01:37] And I was expecting to find the Rugrats in Paris movie

[01:01:41] way more emotional because watching the stuff about Tommy

[01:01:44] not having a mum and really wanting a mum was so sad.

[01:01:49] But I was watching it today and I was like

[01:01:51] they could have done more to pull on my heartstrings here.

[01:01:54] Yeah, I think the maniacal French villain lady

[01:01:58] sort of takes away from how sad it is.

[01:02:00] Yeah but as a kid I found those bits with Tommy really sad

[01:02:04] but watching the first movie I found just heartbreaking

[01:02:09] because it's a bunch of kids that are lost in the forest

[01:02:12] with a newborn and Tommy Pickles is like

[01:02:17] trying to look after this tiny baby

[01:02:20] and the way that he just takes on this responsibility

[01:02:25] and is so paranoid about him being a big brother now

[01:02:28] it's so sweet and his dad at the beginning of the film

[01:02:36] gives him a watch that he puts around his neck

[01:02:40] and he calls, he says you've got responsibility now.

[01:02:43] You must be on time.

[01:02:44] And Tommy thinks that this object is called a Sponsority

[01:02:48] and he thinks it's a compass

[01:02:52] so they're trying to use this watch with like a ticking second hand

[01:02:58] to get out the forest but they're walking in circles

[01:03:02] because it keeps moving.

[01:03:04] He's like my Sponsority is going to get us a home.

[01:03:08] Oh my God.

[01:03:09] And Chucky's feeling left out

[01:03:11] because he used to be Tommy's best friend.

[01:03:15] Will you help me Chucky?

[01:03:18] Sorry Tommy, but you're my bestest friend.

[01:03:23] Yeah, well if I'm your bestest friend

[01:03:26] then how come when I got thrown up on you didn't help me?

[01:03:30] Huh?

[01:03:31] And when I fall over Marne, you didn't help me

[01:03:35] and then when the monkey dropped me

[01:03:37] you didn't even care about my...

[01:03:44] They said Tommy, you don't got to bestest friend no more

[01:03:48] all you got is a brother.

[01:03:52] Well, um, fine.

[01:03:56] I'll go find him by myself.

[01:04:14] And basically the thing that made me cry

[01:04:17] uncontrollably that I posted on Instagram

[01:04:20] you might have seen it

[01:04:22] was at the end Spike, they're being chased by wolves

[01:04:26] and Spike, the dog, their family dog

[01:04:31] drags this wolf off a bridge

[01:04:34] and goes down with it to save the kids

[01:04:38] and throughout the movie

[01:04:40] the kids believe that in the forest there's a wizard

[01:04:44] that's going to grant them a wish

[01:04:45] and they're going to wish to go home

[01:04:47] and once they're saved from the wolves

[01:04:50] Stu in a raptor costume turns up

[01:04:53] and they think that that's the wizard

[01:04:57] and they say to him

[01:05:00] We wish we had our doggy back

[01:05:28] Spike!

[01:05:33] I'll kill you!

[01:05:34] You're alive!

[01:05:37] Thank you, Miss...

[01:05:56] Look at sweetheart, everything's gonna be okay!

[01:05:58] I'll kill you daddy!

[01:06:00] We want our doggy back

[01:06:02] and it's... I just broke down

[01:06:05] it was so sad.

[01:06:06] Elsie really doesn't like it when

[01:06:08] children are hurt or upset

[01:06:10] like it really really gets her crying

[01:06:13] I couldn't care less about the twins

[01:06:17] They could have drowned

[01:06:20] but Tommy and Chucky and Dill

[01:06:23] just seeing the brother relationship grow

[01:06:26] between Tommy and Dill in this film

[01:06:28] is so heartwarming

[01:06:30] What, monkeys?

[01:06:32] Oh, okay, I'll give you monkeys

[01:06:34] You have a monkey mommy

[01:06:36] and a monkey daddy

[01:06:40] I sure let my friends take you back to the optical

[01:06:42] but no, I said

[01:06:44] he didn't need...

[01:06:45] Well, I was wrong!

[01:06:50] Do you want monkeys?

[01:07:02] And monkeys want the Nanner's

[01:07:06] So everybody gets what they want

[01:07:38] I'm sorry, Dill

[01:07:40] I'm sorry, Dill

[01:07:42] It's okay, Dill

[01:07:47] Everything's gonna be okay

[01:07:51] Shame none of them will remember any of them

[01:07:54] Yeah, true

[01:07:56] I love all the things that they say wrong

[01:07:59] As Bob as my witness

[01:08:02] They say got better toys Chucky

[01:08:04] only they're all the way upstairs on the attic

[01:08:06] Sorry Tommy, I guess the tooth hurts sometimes

[01:08:10] Why C-A-GLE number one?

[01:08:12] A pirate's life is a life for me

[01:08:15] Yeah, I'm a hero and I'm about to love you

[01:08:18] See, then everything will be back to Norman

[01:08:21] Thank Bob, thank you Bob

[01:08:24] Come on guys, we're off to see the lizard

[01:08:27] Yeah, all this hurts

[01:08:30] Yeah, sometimes the tooth hurts

[01:08:34] It's so good

[01:08:36] It's got jokes

[01:08:38] It has got jokes, it's very funny

[01:08:40] The kids are funny, I was worried I would find it annoying

[01:08:44] Which I think is a fair thing to sometimes assume

[01:08:47] about loud kids TV

[01:08:49] Especially kids animations

[01:08:51] Yeah, the film

[01:08:53] There were parts of the first film where I was like

[01:08:55] this is a bit too much on my ears now

[01:08:57] like an hour in is a bit much

[01:08:59] The Paris one isn't actually that funny

[01:09:03] I think because they're trying to get the plot going

[01:09:06] and there's more focus on the emotional side of it

[01:09:09] There's not as many jokes

[01:09:11] At least the beginning I think is funnier than the rest of it

[01:09:14] Yeah

[01:09:16] I was reading reddit stuff to see how people felt about

[01:09:22] most notably the film

[01:09:24] A lot of people are like why isn't it set in Japan?

[01:09:27] Why have they got, like they say in the film

[01:09:30] why have they just put this big Japanese theme park

[01:09:33] in the middle of Paris and it's like

[01:09:35] guys they're trying to go for Disneyland Paris

[01:09:38] I think that's what they're doing

[01:09:40] So basically I'll explain

[01:09:42] The Rugrats as a TV show

[01:09:45] and the second film basically try and send up

[01:09:48] corporate commercialization of childhood

[01:09:51] Raptor is a Godzilla type creature

[01:09:56] and they're always playing with their raptor toy

[01:09:59] So Raptor gets mentioned a lot, he's almost a character

[01:10:02] And who's the doll?

[01:10:04] Cynthia is Angelica's doll

[01:10:07] Barbie, but Cynthia

[01:10:09] Oh Cynthia

[01:10:13] Are they taking care of you?

[01:10:15] Will they know to comb your hair

[01:10:18] or change you into your sports jumper

[01:10:20] with matching necrachips at lunchtime?

[01:10:23] So that's what that is

[01:10:25] Yeah, and just loads of people are complaining about it

[01:10:28] and it's like I think they had a point there

[01:10:32] Also logistically taking your child

[01:10:35] on a all the way to Japan

[01:10:37] If they're in Los Angeles it's about the same flight

[01:10:40] Oh yeah, of course

[01:10:42] 10 hours

[01:10:44] 10 and a half hours

[01:10:46] I thought you could go the other way around the world

[01:10:48] Like a road, planes only go in one direction

[01:10:50] Yeah, well it's like if you look at a map

[01:10:52] you can't go off the edge, can you?

[01:10:55] That's why you look at a globe

[01:10:57] Steve is

[01:10:59] Steve is the designer of the Raptor

[01:11:02] Raptor monster

[01:11:04] in this Raptor monster

[01:11:06] in this Paris Japan city

[01:11:09] and it breaks down

[01:11:11] so he's told you have to fly out immediately

[01:11:14] and he just takes full advantage of their money

[01:11:16] and brings everyone

[01:11:18] his whole family and family friends as well

[01:11:21] And they bring the fucking dog

[01:11:24] They do, they bring the dog

[01:11:26] Well the dog's got to be there

[01:11:28] and the granddad, everyone

[01:11:30] Friends and family

[01:11:32] A dog's family

[01:11:34] It's so expensive to fly a dog

[01:11:38] One of the reasons that it did really well

[01:11:41] with young kids as well as

[01:11:43] Well everyone basically is because kids

[01:11:46] are kind of obsessed with babies

[01:11:48] Yeah

[01:11:49] Because they are laughing at how they used to be

[01:11:53] very recently

[01:11:55] There's really interesting stuff about like

[01:11:57] because the oldest doll is like 5,000 years old

[01:12:00] I don't think it was a baby

[01:12:02] I think it was a human shape

[01:12:04] so it's not really clear

[01:12:06] And then like, I can't remember what decade

[01:12:08] there was like, suddenly executives

[01:12:10] realized that

[01:12:12] children love babies

[01:12:14] and then

[01:12:16] I think it was the 70s

[01:12:18] when the first baby doll started to come out

[01:12:20] and then they just fucking ran with it

[01:12:22] and now you'll find

[01:12:24] it wasn't the 70s, you've had baby dolls

[01:12:26] much longer than that

[01:12:28] The ones that are like the plastic ones

[01:12:30] that you play with, not like the porcelain ones

[01:12:32] Because the porcelain ones

[01:12:34] Yeah, plastic, yeah

[01:12:36] And in the 90s they even started pissing themselves

[01:12:38] Porcelain ones existed, I don't know why

[01:12:40] they didn't think that they could make them out of plastic

[01:12:42] because obviously they've always liked them

[01:12:44] But you couldn't play, you can give

[01:12:46] a young child a porcelain baby to play with

[01:12:48] It kind of makes sense because it's like

[01:12:50] yeah, that was you, not that long ago

[01:12:52] Like it makes sense that you're really interested

[01:12:54] Also children and toddlers

[01:12:56] absolutely love pretending to be adults

[01:12:59] Yeah, that's true

[01:13:01] You get a little kitchen for a kid

[01:13:03] They will love pretending to cook dinner

[01:13:05] Kids don't really have a concept of

[01:13:07] work recently

[01:13:09] There's a regular customer in

[01:13:11] where I work

[01:13:13] and

[01:13:15] she's pregnant and she has like a young kid

[01:13:17] and they both came in

[01:13:19] and there was like another mum with a baby

[01:13:21] and a pram and this kid was like

[01:13:23] so fascinated, like oh my god

[01:13:25] that's a baby

[01:13:27] He was just so interested

[01:13:29] It's like yeah, you're gonna have one of those

[01:13:31] Yeah there'll be one here soon

[01:13:33] My cousins when they were younger

[01:13:35] absolutely loved when they would go on a walk

[01:13:37] with my aunt, they loved pushing

[01:13:39] their own prams

[01:13:41] Like they had little tiny prams

[01:13:43] that they would put a bear in and push around

[01:13:45] It's just so cute

[01:13:47] I don't understand why kids like it

[01:13:50] Did you ever like it?

[01:13:52] I don't remember being that young

[01:13:54] Fair enough

[01:13:56] I definitely had

[01:13:58] baby

[01:14:00] toys

[01:14:02] toys that were babies to take care of

[01:14:04] I don't remember if I liked it or not

[01:14:06] I very quickly moved on to Bratz

[01:14:08] Polly Pocket

[01:14:10] Do you remember the little dolls that came in the shoes?

[01:14:13] Yes

[01:14:15] There was like a window on the bottom of the shoe

[01:14:17] Well the boys had cars

[01:14:19] and the girls had dolls

[01:14:21] This is like exclusively by Clarks

[01:14:23] I don't know

[01:14:25] I don't remember why I did this

[01:14:27] but you know the rainbow fairy books

[01:14:29] Me and my friend would use them

[01:14:31] I had dolls to play with

[01:14:33] but now we would take the books

[01:14:35] stand up the books

[01:14:37] and move the books around

[01:14:39] I was ahead of the curve on that

[01:14:41] I was reading those before they exploded in popularity

[01:14:43] I loved them

[01:14:45] I'm not like other girls

[01:14:47] No, I am exactly like other girls

[01:14:49] I'm a trendsetter

[01:14:51] What I properly loved

[01:14:53] was the Slovenian families

[01:14:55] Rich kid over here

[01:14:57] Did you have a dolls house though?

[01:14:59] Yeah, we had a dolls house

[01:15:01] I think it's still in Betty's room

[01:15:03] How you fucking took the dolls house to Singapore?

[01:15:05] I was 11

[01:15:07] Was it a nice one?

[01:15:09] All my Slovenian families with me

[01:15:11] I was 11

[01:15:13] I think my dolls house made the

[01:15:15] second year uni

[01:15:17] cool that my bedroom had

[01:15:19] because I don't remember getting rid of this dolls house

[01:15:21] I just remember it not being there one day

[01:15:25] That happened with so much of your stuff

[01:15:27] So much of my stuff

[01:15:29] Mum and Dad, where's all my stuff?

[01:15:31] Even like when

[01:15:33] coming home from second year uni

[01:15:35] living in Spain and then having to move back here

[01:15:37] I lost a load of clothes

[01:15:39] and all of my kitchen stuff

[01:15:41] I remember asking you

[01:15:43] where's those jeans with the heart shape cut out on the knees

[01:15:45] and you went I don't know

[01:15:47] I haven't got a clue

[01:15:49] There's like shirts

[01:15:51] and like a pair of dungarees

[01:15:53] that I don't have anymore

[01:15:55] All the kitchenware that would have been so useful

[01:15:57] for moving in here

[01:15:59] and then had to buy everything again

[01:16:01] And it's not like they kept it and are using it

[01:16:03] because they've got shit all as well

[01:16:05] They were like two mugs

[01:16:07] I went out and I bought my parents mugs

[01:16:09] and I was baking tray in a whisk

[01:16:11] because I was sick of having to cook

[01:16:13] like over Christmas

[01:16:15] cooking Christmas dinner

[01:16:17] really brought to light how

[01:16:19] stacked we are

[01:16:21] how little they have in their house

[01:16:23] Well you talk a little bit about when you came home

[01:16:25] to your parents and all they had was eggs

[01:16:27] Right

[01:16:29] So again

[01:16:31] we're back to eggs

[01:16:33] When I was a teenager

[01:16:35] my parents were doing like crossfit

[01:16:37] I remember what they were doing like

[01:16:39] um

[01:16:41] that like military diet

[01:16:43] where the first week of this diet is like

[01:16:45] three eggs for every meal and only that

[01:16:47] and then like

[01:16:49] you graduate into being able to have that egg

[01:16:51] cooked differently and on toast or something

[01:16:53] beer basically meant that

[01:16:55] they were getting through so many eggs

[01:16:57] and after that

[01:16:59] they just became an egg household

[01:17:01] and that would put me off

[01:17:03] eggs having to eat nine a day

[01:17:05] and you open the fridge and it was like

[01:17:07] this was at uni

[01:17:09] and I think that they'd ordered one of those

[01:17:11] like

[01:17:13] or around them

[01:17:15] you can get like groceries

[01:17:17] like vegetables delivered from a farm

[01:17:19] yeah

[01:17:21] and they got eggs and I think had two deliveries of it

[01:17:23] or something and I opened the fridge and there was like

[01:17:25] 56 eggs

[01:17:27] and it's all, every time I go home

[01:17:29] I open the fridge and basically it's like

[01:17:31] a head of lettuce

[01:17:33] well baked and I'm like

[01:17:35] is anyone in this house considered that I might want to eat

[01:17:37] something that's not an egg

[01:17:39] because your boyfriend calls in the egg people

[01:17:41] yeah he's like well when are we going to see the egg people

[01:17:43] like if you don't want to be called

[01:17:45] the egg people don't make that reputation

[01:17:47] for yourself

[01:17:49] because they have so many eggs in the house all the time

[01:17:51] to be fair I remember

[01:17:53] during Covid when you were living back home

[01:17:55] I facetime you were like

[01:17:57] we've accidentally done a thing

[01:17:59] so I was put in charge of doing all the like

[01:18:01] shopping and stuff because I was doing all the cooking as well

[01:18:03] but every week

[01:18:05] I would kind of, I knew what I wanted

[01:18:07] but there were things that you would just buy

[01:18:09] every week that I would then add to the basket

[01:18:11] and not really look to see if anyone was eating

[01:18:13] or not just assume

[01:18:15] and while we're on facetime I found

[01:18:17] three family sized

[01:18:19] unopened

[01:18:21] boxes of Cheerios in the cupboard

[01:18:23] and no one had like

[01:18:25] clearly for three weeks

[01:18:27] I'd not put that box of Cheerios away

[01:18:29] someone else had done it

[01:18:31] and no one had said to me wow we're really stacking up the Cheerios here

[01:18:33] we just had

[01:18:35] and there was an open box as well

[01:18:37] but they were unopened

[01:18:39] I was like why did nobody say to me

[01:18:41] stop buying Cheerios

[01:18:43] I have a great screenshot of you

[01:18:45] juggling boxes of Cheerios

[01:18:47] boxes of Cheerios

[01:18:49] oh lockdown

[01:18:51] something that I want to say

[01:18:53] about the Rugrats

[01:18:55] is the logo

[01:18:57] it's so fun

[01:18:59] we've spoken about this before

[01:19:01] about that kind of

[01:19:03] global village coffee house style

[01:19:05] like the sort of 90s

[01:19:07] computer style

[01:19:09] I really think

[01:19:11] that the Rugrats

[01:19:13] ident

[01:19:15] just is that you could see it on the wall

[01:19:17] of a coffee shop

[01:19:19] like a cyber coffee shop

[01:19:21] kind of

[01:19:23] their colour scheme and some of their vibes are like

[01:19:25] you know those

[01:19:27] YouTube videos that are like

[01:19:29] vaporwave low five beats to chill to

[01:19:31] where it's got like a

[01:19:33] tri-coloured Bart Simpson smoking

[01:19:35] yeah you totally could make one of those

[01:19:37] a little adult swim

[01:19:39] at places

[01:19:41] in a child way

[01:19:43] it might do our logo but in the Rugrats style

[01:19:45] oh I completely

[01:19:47] forgot to say about why

[01:19:49] the episode with the potty training

[01:19:51] was dark

[01:19:53] and the Rugrats gets a little bit scary

[01:19:55] there's an episode

[01:19:57] where there's a new

[01:19:59] um

[01:20:01] toy that has been invented by

[01:20:03] Stu and brought into the house and all the kids are

[01:20:05] absolutely terrified of it

[01:20:07] and he thinks that they really like

[01:20:09] it so he makes like

[01:20:11] an army of them

[01:20:13] and it's really quite

[01:20:15] freaky but in the second

[01:20:17] half of the potty training episode

[01:20:19] Chucky has a dream that he's

[01:20:21] in prison and it's gone all black and white

[01:20:23] like he's behind bars

[01:20:25] and then the twins

[01:20:27] come in and they're like

[01:20:29] it's time Chucky

[01:20:31] it's time for you to go to the chair

[01:20:33] and they take him to

[01:20:35] the chair in fact on the way

[01:20:37] Tommy is a priest

[01:20:39] and he's saying to him

[01:20:41] like my child is there anything I can get for you

[01:20:43] last right

[01:20:45] yeah

[01:20:51] not anymore

[01:20:53] thing I can get for you my son

[01:21:13] any last request for you now

[01:21:15] but it's not right

[01:21:17] not right I tell you don't want to make me do it

[01:21:19] no no

[01:21:21] don't be being a baby my son

[01:21:23] what's the little people think

[01:21:29] I'll try

[01:21:31] I'll try

[01:21:35] that's a chair

[01:21:37] wait

[01:21:40] listen listen I'm only two

[01:21:44] everybody's gotta go someday

[01:21:54] they lead Tommy to the chair

[01:21:56] and the chair is obviously a toilet

[01:21:58] and then Angelica

[01:22:00] is there in like a hangman

[01:22:02] of course she is

[01:22:04] and it's terrifying

[01:22:06] because I don't want to

[01:22:08] end the episode talking about the chair

[01:22:10] let's talk about the fact

[01:22:12] that none of us have seen it but the third film

[01:22:14] is Rugrats Go Wild

[01:22:16] I've seen it but not recently

[01:22:18] I remember it back in the day

[01:22:20] it's a crossover between

[01:22:22] the Rugrats and the Wild Thornberries

[01:22:24] and the Wild Thornberries is something I want to do

[01:22:26] because Tim Curry's in it and I love it

[01:22:28] that was smashing

[01:22:30] tell them what happened

[01:22:32] when you lost your phone and Antwerp

[01:22:34] ah yes

[01:22:36] my

[01:22:38] I was in the maz

[01:22:40] and I

[01:22:42] I don't know I couldn't find my phone

[01:22:44] and I went to

[01:22:46] everyone there was so nice

[01:22:48] I went to one of the staff members

[01:22:50] and I said have you seen a phone

[01:22:52] and he went yes it's downstairs

[01:22:54] I brought it to reception and I was like oh thank you so much

[01:22:56] and then because I was going to get it on my way out

[01:22:58] every time I passed that same guy

[01:23:00] he was like have you got your phone

[01:23:02] you can get it in reception and I was like yeah thank you

[01:23:04] thanks we're not going all the way down

[01:23:06] come all the way back up and it's tall building

[01:23:08] yeah with the main escalators closed

[01:23:10] so yeah yeah yeah

[01:23:12] I

[01:23:14] went to

[01:23:16] get my phone and they said

[01:23:18] what's the background

[01:23:20] so they could check it was me and I said

[01:23:22] um

[01:23:24] a clown

[01:23:26] and everyone behind the desk

[01:23:28] laughed at me and they were like yes

[01:23:30] yeah and it's basically

[01:23:32] a picture of Tim Curry in it

[01:23:34] I like him what can I say

[01:23:36] that was smashing

[01:23:38] when that was happening

[01:23:40] I

[01:23:42] and a friend of the

[01:23:44] Polynesia were back at our Airbnb

[01:23:46] hanging out of our arses

[01:23:48] and

[01:23:50] I just worked up the courage

[01:23:52] to get in the shower

[01:23:54] and it was probably about

[01:23:56] three o'clock in the afternoon

[01:23:58] and I looked at my

[01:24:00] phone before I got in the shower

[01:24:02] and I um saw the message from Laura

[01:24:04] that said Elsie's lost her phone

[01:24:06] and I went like this

[01:24:08] I went

[01:24:10] aside at my phone

[01:24:12] and I put a face down on the countertop and I was like

[01:24:14] that's a jump for when I've

[01:24:16] got an hour

[01:24:18] when I've tackled this shower and I've got an hour of it

[01:24:20] well I could stand up straight

[01:24:22] well because my immediate thought was like

[01:24:24] could this holiday not get any fucking worse

[01:24:26] and it was actually quite a good

[01:24:28] trip but I felt

[01:24:30] I felt sick out of my mind

[01:24:32] we had a

[01:24:34] lot of margaritas

[01:24:36] and

[01:24:38] the crisis lasted

[01:24:40] so short a time

[01:24:42] that it was solved by the time I got out of the shower

[01:24:44] and I was so grateful I didn't have to do anything

[01:24:46] Elsie was the least hungover

[01:24:48] of all of us and then I was not

[01:24:50] I was just drinking beer

[01:24:52] I wasn't really

[01:24:54] really hungover because mine usually terrible

[01:24:56] but one thing that I can't do

[01:24:58] is when I'm hungover it always like move my head down

[01:25:00] and all of the little

[01:25:02] descriptions of all the items

[01:25:04] at the mass are down

[01:25:06] so I was walking around this museum

[01:25:08] trying to keep my head really still and just trying to look

[01:25:10] down and read but that made it

[01:25:12] all of the expressions were basically on the floor

[01:25:14] I couldn't I was like I can't

[01:25:16] what's happening Elsie can you explain

[01:25:18] because I just couldn't tilt my head down

[01:25:20] I was nearly sick in the mass

[01:25:22] I had a great night

[01:25:24] but they went

[01:25:26] without me understandably

[01:25:28] to the one museum

[01:25:30] I really really wanted to go to

[01:25:32] and didn't go because

[01:25:34] I was in a danger zone for six hours

[01:25:36] does anyone have any

[01:25:38] does anyone have any final comments about the Rugrats

[01:25:40] again I've been very quiet

[01:25:42] this episode because I simply don't

[01:25:44] all I can say is that

[01:25:46] I like it I don't

[01:25:48] it makes the jokes for me

[01:25:50] I don't know it's good

[01:25:52] it's enjoyable

[01:25:54] it's that it's

[01:25:56] for adults as well and I

[01:25:58] feel like we're getting

[01:26:00] increasingly

[01:26:02] less stuff that is also

[01:26:04] enjoyable for grown-ups

[01:26:06] is that fair to say?

[01:26:08] I think when it happens now it's more notable

[01:26:10] like everyone's crazy about Bluey

[01:26:12] because everyone can enjoy it

[01:26:14] and it's being seen as super notable

[01:26:16] for being so widely

[01:26:18] enjoyable when

[01:26:20] every other kids show

[01:26:22] is not like

[01:26:24] I'm trying to think of another one

[01:26:26] Adventure Time was kind of the kid

[01:26:28] yeah Adventure Time

[01:26:30] you had something you wanted to say

[01:26:32] you said it's moving forward from the other side

[01:26:34] one thing I noticed and I really liked

[01:26:36] because I think this is

[01:26:38] very accurate to real life

[01:26:40] and something that isn't either talked about or depicted

[01:26:42] super often is how intuitive

[01:26:44] very young kids can be

[01:26:46] and how they can pick up on stuff

[01:26:48] the adults

[01:26:50] can't see

[01:26:52] so in the movie

[01:26:54] the villain is trying to marry

[01:26:56] chas

[01:26:58] and he is sort of just going

[01:27:00] with it and not really realizing how awful

[01:27:02] she is and all the kids are like

[01:27:04] please don't

[01:27:06] please fucking don't marry this woman

[01:27:08] and the kids are so immediately picking up

[01:27:10] on how horrible her vibe is

[01:27:12] but the adults are just no she's fine

[01:27:14] let's get all the way to getting married and not to

[01:27:16] damn

[01:27:18] it's okay it's okay daddy's here

[01:27:20] and so

[01:27:22] is his new mommy

[01:27:24] come here little boy

[01:27:26] no no no

[01:27:28] no no no

[01:27:30] madame

[01:27:32] our kidnapping

[01:27:34] the plot has failed

[01:27:36] ignore that unemployed

[01:27:38] fool

[01:27:40] the wedding is off

[01:27:42] you were not the woman I thought you were

[01:27:44] hey lady

[01:27:46] your plan to trick mr yummy sushi

[01:27:48] didn't work after all

[01:27:50] pretty flower girls should be seen

[01:27:52] not her I would like to hear

[01:27:54] what the little one has to say

[01:27:56] okay but listen good

[01:27:58] cause I'm tired of telling this story

[01:28:00] that cuckoo lady told

[01:28:02] her boss she had a kids heart in a

[01:28:04] jar and she was gonna marry mr

[01:28:06] chucky's daddy just so she could be

[01:28:08] president listen you traitor

[01:28:10] now mrs labouche

[01:28:12] you are dismissed

[01:28:14] you know 16 17

[01:28:16] babies have no effect on me and now I'm

[01:28:18] just like that is the cutest thing I've

[01:28:20] ever seen

[01:28:22] yeah but not in regrets

[01:28:24] they're so ugly

[01:28:26] why did their heads so lumpy

[01:28:28] why do they look like that

[01:28:30] their voices adorable so we got

[01:28:32] up a picture of the cast and they're all

[01:28:34] blonde women oh yeah

[01:28:36] so Nancy Cartwright's in it

[01:28:38] Tara Strong

[01:28:40] what's the other really famous voice

[01:28:42] actress who goes by two letters

[01:28:44] I don't know eG

[01:28:46] daily eG daily

[01:28:48] yeah if you get like a picture of

[01:28:50] the cast it's like all blonde

[01:28:52] women in that now in their 50s I think

[01:28:54] yeah it's like a cast of real house

[01:28:56] life it's like oh the Beverly Hills

[01:28:58] yeah it's like any

[01:29:00] little boy or baby is

[01:29:02] voiced by a woman always yeah like

[01:29:04] Tara Strong is Timmy Turner yeah yeah

[01:29:06] and they do a fantastic job

[01:29:08] their voices are actually very cute

[01:29:10] actually annoying like I thought they would be

[01:29:12] no I

[01:29:14] think there's very little to say

[01:29:16] wrong with it

[01:29:18] I love it really love it

[01:29:20] held the test of time stood the

[01:29:22] test of time quite well well it's

[01:29:24] kind of

[01:29:26] it was kind of before it's time it's aged

[01:29:28] really well yeah like you've got

[01:29:30] the marriage between

[01:29:32] Chas and Kira

[01:29:34] and like they adopt each other's

[01:29:36] children and then that's like a

[01:29:38] into like a mixed race no

[01:29:40] um like blended family

[01:29:42] yeah yeah

[01:29:44] excuse me everybody

[01:29:46] excuse me everybody

[01:29:48] well as you know

[01:29:50] a couple of weeks ago Kira and I

[01:29:52] celebrated our marriage

[01:29:54] well today

[01:29:59] we'd like to celebrate our family

[01:30:03] Chucky, Kitty

[01:30:05] it's something we'd like to tell you

[01:30:07] I don't know if you could

[01:30:09] understand this sweetheart

[01:30:11] but I've adopted you

[01:30:13] and I've

[01:30:15] adopted you Chucky

[01:30:19] what that means is

[01:30:21] we love you so much

[01:30:23] we want the world to know

[01:30:25] that we're a family

[01:30:33] now we've got two great kids

[01:30:35] and you've got the mum

[01:30:37] that almost was a lesbian and then wasn't

[01:30:39] but they've got an interesting

[01:30:41] the definition of queering heterosexuality

[01:30:45] it also like it still is visually

[01:30:47] distinct enough because I think with like animated

[01:30:49] shows especially when loads of them are being made

[01:30:51] even to like the adult animation

[01:30:53] shows that being put up by Netflix they all

[01:30:55] look the same but

[01:30:57] Rugrats is still to this day really visually distinct

[01:30:59] and sort of ugly in a beautiful way

[01:31:01] not ugly in a big mouth way

[01:31:03] sorry it's true

[01:31:05] it is though

[01:31:07] it is so ugly

[01:31:09] so now

[01:31:11] we've I think we've got to the end of

[01:31:13] what we have to say about Rugrats

[01:31:15] there's always so much more but we only have so much time

[01:31:17] and Laura is going to

[01:31:19] talk about something unrelated

[01:31:21] but it was brought up in an earlier episode

[01:31:23] and a lot of you had questions

[01:31:25] two episodes ago

[01:31:27] kind of just casually dropping in there

[01:31:29] in

[01:31:31] January

[01:31:33] I think I was first told that I might

[01:31:35] have MS

[01:31:37] and then in

[01:31:39] end of April it was confirmed I have MS

[01:31:41] um yeah we got a couple

[01:31:43] questions because some people are like what's MS

[01:31:45] which is totally fair

[01:31:47] multiple sclerosis

[01:31:49] sclerosis can't say our own

[01:31:51] condition

[01:31:53] every other nurse I talk to now

[01:31:55] they're like oh what do you do

[01:31:57] I'm like oh what in

[01:31:59] cognitive neuroscience and they go in that

[01:32:01] ironic

[01:32:03] it's like right on your wedding day

[01:32:05] but yeah so

[01:32:07] we had some questions about what it is

[01:32:09] basically

[01:32:11] it's an autoimmune disease where

[01:32:13] your immune system is eating

[01:32:15] attacking your

[01:32:17] myelin sheath which is around

[01:32:19] your neurons that speeds up

[01:32:21] reactions

[01:32:23] yeah like the speed of thought

[01:32:25] is really aided by the myelin sheath

[01:32:27] um

[01:32:29] and yeah so it's eating that

[01:32:31] away which is so fun to think about

[01:32:33] the way I found out

[01:32:35] the route that I found out

[01:32:37] that I have MS was more unusual

[01:32:39] because I had a visual problem

[01:32:41] when usually the first signs are motor

[01:32:43] problems and my GP

[01:32:45] wanted to dismiss it as atypical

[01:32:47] migraines and I was like no

[01:32:49] no we're gonna keep pushing this

[01:32:51] so if you have anything really fucked up happening

[01:32:53] to your vision maybe push

[01:32:55] for an MRI

[01:32:57] cause I have no other symptoms

[01:32:59] just that one episode

[01:33:01] but yeah

[01:33:03] I'm about to start treatment

[01:33:05] yeah just to reassure people that

[01:33:07] I mean I'm fine oh yeah I have

[01:33:09] I wasn't told this by my doctor

[01:33:11] but I get like the minutes from my doctor's appointment

[01:33:13] and it has my disability

[01:33:15] rating

[01:33:17] which is called ESSD

[01:33:19] and mine's zero

[01:33:21] wow it's quite impressive to have

[01:33:23] a MS and have a disability rating zero

[01:33:25] she could have been less disabled

[01:33:27] which is you know great right now

[01:33:29] that's kind of I mean

[01:33:31] you have bad vision

[01:33:33] so surely that would bring it above zero

[01:33:35] no so ESSD

[01:33:37] ESSD is um

[01:33:39] physical disability is it okay

[01:33:41] yeah so my mobility is fine

[01:33:43] right okay um but I mean if anyone has any questions

[01:33:45] I'm more than happy to answer them

[01:33:47] because yeah like

[01:33:49] this is super young to find it

[01:33:51] and also yeah vision stuff coming first

[01:33:53] is really unusual and most people would probably

[01:33:55] ignore it or accept what the GP said

[01:33:57] so um that brings us

[01:33:59] background to reminding you

[01:34:01] about the post box

[01:34:03] episode
