Talking Simpsons - Bart-Mangled Banner With Brendan James
"Son, I've learned one thing in this life. To stay out of trouble, just say nothing. Don't rock the boat. Don't even get IN the boat! Just buy some ice cream and walk around the pier. But don't go in the bathrooms; they're filthy." - Homer Simpson When Bart unwittingly moons the American flag, the town of Springfield ends up in hot water, and The Simpsons eventually find themselves imprisoned in a reeducation camp. As this political satire unfolds, we must ask ourselves if it's possible to be critical of the current administration while refusing to mention the President—or any other politician—by name.

Talking Simpsons - The Boy Who Knew Too Much With Jordan Morris
"I know you can read my thoughts, Bart. Just a little reminder: if I find out you cut class, your ass is mine. Yes, you heard me. I think words I would never say." - Seymour Skinner When Bart plays hooky and witnesses what results in Springfield's trial of the century, he finds himself up to his neck in hot chowder. Or is it chowdah? Whatever the case, if you don't listen for our sake, do it for McGarnigal.

Talking Simpsons - The Way We Weren't
"She was the prettiest girl I'd ever seen... Uh, until I met your mother—who made that girl look like a Godzilla made of garbage!" - Homer Simpson In yet another canon-defying flashback episode, we head to summer camp, where many established characters somehow know each other despite their differing ages and backgrounds. As Homer and Marge weave their different takes on this tale of the past, it's revealed the two actually met as children in a series of convoluted events that mostly check out—unless you're an insane fan obsessed with continuity. But those people certainly wouldn't be listening to THIS podcast. Support this podcast and get over 200 ad-free bonus episodes by visiting Patreon.com/TalkingSimpsons and becoming a patron!
