Coming atcha with our 92nd Episode, this ones a Valentine's Themed episode where the Simpsons give their take on 3 "classic" love stories. We are slightly taken aback with some of the double entendres used in the second segment but they save it with a classic dig at their eventual overlords Disney. Listen in as we discuss this as well as our usual form of non-sensical ramblings such as:

- Learning which actors have died

- Does anyone even want an Eddie Furlong podcast?

- Listener emails

- A new nickname for Scandoval

- A brief history of the Sex Pistols

- The worst sibling from Succession

- Arguably too much Kieran Culkin talk

All this and so much more!

PLEASE NOTE: Patrick muted his mic for a portion of this recording and we did our best to fix the audio so you could hear him. It only lasts about 10 minutes but if you're annoyed it's fixed by the 1:15:50 mark, so feel free to fast forward if you'd like. Thank you for your understanding and our apologies!

In this episode we see the real story of everyone's favorite Northern Kentucky family, The Simpsons (warts and all) ala a parody of VH1's seminal hit Behind the Music. Bryan tells us about the origins of the episode as well as other places the Simpsons are reportedy from. Brenden learns about Tiger Beat and VH1, and tells us why they call him the Apple Meister. Cori is shocked to find out that VHS tapes still existed in the early 2000's and discusses a few more crushes. We also talk about big budget music videos, all the Tiger Beat worthy boys from back in the day and come up with some new prank show names. Even Dean makes a brief but memorable appearance, our apolgies if you can hear is collar during parts of the episode. We had a lot of fun with this one and for the first time ever all seem to agree on our thoughts about the episode. We hope you enjoy it!

This is the second of two Sideshow Bob episodes as we see what happened to Sideshow Bob after his last attempt to get Bart, when the family meets up with him unexpectedly in Italy. Brenden had to set this one out due to scheduling conflicts so Cori and Bryan take it over. Cori gets upset over the dumming down of the Italian language for this episode and she may have her own vendetta against Disney? Bryan tells the truth behind Veggie Tales and discusses the joys of the tv cart being rolled into your classroom. Lastly, Cori tells us that she had a shot to be on the Mickey Mouseclub, if only she lived in Orlandon in the 90s. This was another fun one and we hope that you can join us.

In this episode we have the first of two upcoming episodes featuring the the triumphant return of fan favorite Sideshow Bob. This episode shows us the importance of backdoor deals and Bob helps the Simpson family discover who is trying to kill Homer. He is actually an huge help and puts his hatred of Bart on the backburner, with a little persuasion from an electric zapper.

For the first time in a long time we do talk about Twitter, as it is brought up a few times in the Eye on Springfield segment. London makes a brief appearance to tell us all about Charley DiMillio. Brenden thinks that Frasier and Kramer are the same person and is told all about George Foreman and his famous grill. Bryan looks back fondly on RC Cola and has to set Brenden straight on the difference between it and Crown Royal. Is Milwaukee a state? We take a moment to discuss. Cori also tells us about a true to life experience inspired by Wayne's World and involving the band Reel Big Fish.

That trip to the Swordfish Museum can wait listen to this episode now on Spotify, Stitcher, Apple and Google Podcasts or wherever you find your podcasts.

On this episode we take a look at the Simpson family trip to New York City and discuss how this eisode had a lot of funny moments but realy doesn't offer much in the way of story. Brenden tells his story of getting his first speeding ticket while weighing in on Billie Ellish and is shocked to find out how long ago Ferris Bueller was released. Bryan pitches some new story ideas that might have improved the episode and discusses a joke from the episode that doesn't really hold up. Cori tells a story about having to pee during her sonogram and announces that she is retiring the News and Views segment. We also argue about the timing of the Trump/Simpsons connection and it's contribution to the Simpsons prediction phenomenon. So sit back, relax, pour yourself a tall glass of crab juice and enjoy the ride. 

Do you like Boy Bands? Well if so have we got a doozey for you! In this episode we see a government conspiracy lead to the formation of Springfield's first boyband the Party Posse. And let's not forget about the special appearance by N'Sync. Cori has a lot to say about boy bands and sends us down an extensive boy band breakdown, as well as telling us which band she met at a local K-Mart in her youth. She also ranks her favorite members of N'Sync. Bryan tells us who the Simpson's creators originally wanted instead of N'Sync and the joke that they played on Justin Timberlake.  Brenden learns about VJs and asks if this episode ripped of the Josie and the Pusscats movie that came out around the same time. So come kick it with us old school, Word!

Just a quick disclaimer Cori was feeling better but was still not 100% so we did the best we could to edit out her coughing but a few may have still made it in.

Oh how we've missed you! Have you missed us? So sorry for the delay but with coflicting scedules and sickness that ran rampant through the house we had a tough time getting this one out for you but here it is in all of it's glory! In this episode we see Krusty try to pivot to stop the bad ratings of Itchy and Scratchy by introducing a new character, everyone's favorite half Joe Camel and a third Fonzarelli, kung fu hippie from Gangsta City, the rappin surfer whose fool he pities, everyone's favorite Poochie. 

We were just coming back from a road trip to Pittsburgh so we were all a little bit punchy but think the episode turned pretty good, even if we went multiple days from watching the episode to recording the podcast. Cori sings some Nelly and has a question about Luther Vandross. Bryan tells us of the connection between Poochie and a certain character form Growing Pains, all while trying to discover the meaning of "debu." Brenden leads a discussion of fan boy culture and gets very upset over the concept of painting bricks. But through it all the family can at least agree on one thing, Roy's our boy! So join us for this deleriously delusional ride, you'll be glad you did!

Hot off the 2022 Winter Olympics, we bring you this travel episode, where Homer and Marge compete for Olympic curling glory during the 2010 Winter Olympics, in Vancouver, Canada. Lisa also develops an addictive habit until Bart helps her kick it. Cori discusses the origin of the Romper Room Shout Out and reveals the shocking truth, that she was originally left handed. Brenden is alientated once again, this time it's about Tom Brokow and he helps us to discover that Alaska is further away then we thought. Bryan gets annoyed with the inconsistencies of animated curling and we end the episode talking about funeral potatoes. So get out your brooms and get ready to be swept up in a really fun episode.

We choo-choo-choose you to listen to this classic episode where we take a look at I Love Lisa. Ralph Wiggum falls for Lisa but his interest is not reciprocated. Brenden helps us look at this episode in a different light by not only looking at things through Ralph's eyes but rather through Lisa's eyes. We question Ralph's actions and think that Lisa may not be completely in the wrong. Cori has us play a game where we guess which breakup lines she has used from the show. We also answer listener emails and tell childhood Valentine's Day stories. You might not have asked for it but we also bring you some great nose picking content and make sure to stick around for Cori's bold Super Bowl predictions. This is an all time great episode of the Simpsons and we had a blast recording this one, we hope you enjoy it as well!

For this episode we decided to give Marge some love and go back to the hey day of the show as we look at the season 6 episode, The Fear of Flying. In the episode Marge reveals that she has a deeprooted fear of flying and gets some help to try to overcome it. Our hosts break it all down for you with a lot of fun along the way. Cori says hello to some ball playing boys and asks the age old question are you Team Dylan or Team Brandon. Brenden and Bryan also discuss the history of the couch gag and whether it should be changed. They all talk about the similarities between the songs, It's Raining Men and Bodies, as well as having a discussion about a real dog wedding. We hope that you will send your tots and pears for Dean, and hope you enjoy the show!  

Well we admittedly made a mistake with this episode as there was some confusion between the episode that Brenden wanted and the episode that we took a look at. The episode shows Professor Frink develop his own cryptocurrency and becomes quite wealthy as well as finding some new friend. Not willing to become the second richest man in Springfield Mr. Burns decides to make his own and ultimately usurp Frink of his postion. This episode starts of with just Bryan and Brenden, as Cori was not feeling up to recording but she realizes that she couldn't stay away and shows up halfway through to defend Mariah Carey. Cailin also makes a brief appearance to give you a recommendation. 

The episode was the most cryptocurrency episode that ever cryptocurrencied. Along the way the gang is rather critical of this modern episode, but they do find their way to some high points. Bryan loves the Jim Parsons cryptocurrency bit, while Brenden has the realization that this episode is rather similar to a Dhar Mann video. After having a heatfelt moment Cori has another Hello Therapist moment as well as professing her love for googly eyes. Brenden ends the episode with a rant on cryptocurrency and apologizes for the confusion in selected this episode. I guess that's what we get for selected a current one.

 In this episode we reach the conclusion of the biggest mystery in Springfield's history, as we fond out who shot Mr. Burns. Everyone is a suspect and the Budnik/Scarupa family discusses their thoughts on the final reveal. Brenden comes up with a rather interesting proposal for 1995 Matt Groening. Cori and Bryan both look back on this episode and reveal that they have different impressions of this episode now that they had back in the day. We also reveal, which of our lucky listeners is the winner of the custom made Treehouse of Horror XVI poster. This one's a doozey and we hope you come along for the ride!

*Audio note, Brenden had his mic muted for a small portion of the episode, so our apologies for the any audio issues you may encounter.

Happy Halloween everyone!!! Oh wait Halloween already happened? Well true to Simpsons form we are posting this Bonus Super Sized episode after Halloween, so deal with it. We are joined by returning guests, Suzie, Mike and Maurice from The Boogeyman's Closet to discuss 3 of the greatest Treehouse of Horror segments of all time (Attack of the 50 Ft. Eyesores, Nightmare on Evergreen Terrace and Homer_3). There is so much to say about this episode and we had a ton of fun recording it! We hope you absolutely love it! Thank you again to Suzie, Mike and Maurice for coming back and make sure to check out their podcast here: https://thebogeymanscloset.podbean.com/ or wherever you find your podcasts, well that is if you are over 18 :-) 

In this episode the Budnik-Scarupa family sees Mr. Burns turn maniacal in his plot to block out the sun, in order to force the residents of Springfield into using more energy from his plant. Of course the residents don't take this lightly and someone takes matters into their own hands, but who was it? Along the way we discuss the popping collars trend, alienating Brenden, once again, with timely references and Cori has trouble pronouncing certain words. She also accuses Bryan of forcing her to record even though she is sick, so we'll let you be the judge of that. This is an episode that we think will really blow smoke up your dress! Please be advised if you don't know how the Mr. Burns saga ends there is a spoiler at the end that you may want to avoid. Thanks for listening! 

Months ago our friend Jessica Alvarez mentioned that she was watching Homerpalooza and was having a tough time accepting the fact that the then current bands, shown in the episode, are now the "old people" bands. She requested we take a look at this episode which we not only did but but one better and invited her to join us to get her take on it. Like Homer in the episode, we struggle with accepting that the bands shown are no longer relevant and wonder if the same can be said about us? Cori reveals a musical secret that she has held on to for may years. Bryan reveals the one concert he regrets not going to. Jess even comes up with a fantastic description of Emo music that we are still laughing about! This episode was a long time coming but we think it was well worth the wait and hope you enjoy it!     

In this episode Homer stumbles upon a Chili Cookoff where he eats some insanity peppers that cause him to hallucinate. During his trip he meets a spiritual guide voiced by the late great Johnny Cash and heads out on a quest to find his soulmate. Along the way the Budnik Scarupa family welcomes in friend of the family Don Johnson, no not that Don Johnson, Buffalo's own Don Johnson. They discuss Chris Pratt (again) and Brenden is obsessed with bringing up the newly announced Mario Bros. movie and needless to say he is not too happy about it. Cori lets us in on a little secret and Brenden shocks them all with the realization that there is a connection to oranges and smoking cigarettes. Don really helps to bring the laughs on this one and we hope that you enjoy it! So grab your chili eating spoon, put on that Time for Chili hat and strap yourself in for a wild ride!

In this episode we see Homer go on a wild ride from saying some rather upsetting things about his family to rocking out with a bunch of rock and roll legends, which ultimately ends in a riot. Would you expect anything less from the citizens of Springfield? The Budnik-Scarupa family also discusses their non existent Patreon levels and a HUGE announcement about everyone's favorite show, Manifest. They also debate whether or not Nick Jonas is a rock star and how to determine the difference between average and slightly above average. And who could forget yet another timely reference as Cori goes on a rant about Lancelot Link Secret Chimp. We bet you'll be singing the theme song when we're through. So did this episode really happen or is it all part of Homer's drunken hallucination? Either way, you should come along for the ride, because it may only be rock and roll but we like it! 

In this episode we take you all the way back to 1984 and Brenden is totally alienated with all of the references as Bryan and Cori reminisce. The cookie butter ghost returns and the family gets confused over the difference between Rod and Todd. Brenden gets offended over one of Homer's lines which leads to a discussion on some of the problematic jokes in the episode. The family is split on their feelings on this episode but we still had a great time and we hope you will too!
