The Super Bowl may be long past but Cori picked an episode with a football title that actually had little to do about football. Surprisingly enough it was oddly relevant to this year's Super Bowl Halftime Show. Who knew? This one takes two seemingly unrelated stories and smashes them together while making sure to get a ton of sports celebrity appearances crammed in as well, for good measure. Go give it a listen, because hey what else are you doing?

We also discuss:

- New and creative ways to greet our fellow Rad Panthers on the street.

- New nicknames that no one asked for.

- Pleas to straight edgers and vegetarians.

- Revealing Comic Book Guy's actual name.

- Shocking viewing statistics.

- Super Bowl Halftime Show thoughts.

- New sponsorships.

- Scary guarantees.

- Happy Birthday greetings.

All of this and so much more!

Cailin sits this one out and it is too bad she did as there are many fantastic Moe lines in this one. Bryan leads the discussion on the status of certain outdated characters and if they should be retired or not. The family also mentions how this episode holds a mirror (and no not Cori's Romper Room Mirror) up to society and how it still holds true today. It may be 2020 but there is talk about Smashmouth and how the Heavenly Hills Mall looks oddly familiar. If you like what you hear tell a friend and don't forget to rate and subscribe.

It's summertime and what goes well with summer? Baseball of course! In this episode the gang decides to dive into this baseball themed episode from Season 3, Homer at the Bat. Cailin sits this one out so no Useless Weather Update, how will we survive without a pollen count?

It's Cailin's turn to pick and to the surprise of no one she chooses a Moe-centric episode. This time we breakdown this absolute classic from Season 3. Brenden sits this episode out but Cori tries to pinch hit in his absence.  The rest of the family reminisces about spending time at Moe's Tavern and drinking Flaming Moe's at Universal Studios.

PLEASE NOTE: This episode was recorded right as the reaction to the death of George Floyd was starting so yes his death was discussed, briefly, but not to the level that this subject deserves as it was all still unfolding at the time.

In this episode the Budnik/Scarupa clan is back to tackle this episode from Season 7.  Cori continues to wonder about Gigi Hadid and uses this episode to deal with some childhood trauma  ("Hello therapist?").  Cailin tells an inadvertent Haiku during the Useless Weather Update and can't stop laughing at Cori.  Bryan tries to hold everything together and mentions how Simpsons creator Bill Oakley finally admits that the show can tell the future.  Brenden continues to question everything and is very excited to talk about the terrible idea of having children on a reality show.  So grab your best rag on a stick and set up the drinking bird because it is time for a new episode!

The drudgery that is Season 1 is now OVER!!  In this episode the gang changes up the format and Cori chooses a doozey, Episode 16 from Season 8, A Brother from Another Series.  Kelsey Grammer and David Hyde Pierce do what they do best, playing brothers, not as the Cranes but this time as the Terwilligers, Sideshow Bob and Cecil.  Listen to our group as they breakdown yet another Sideshow Bob, diabolical scheme, but this time perhaps, Bob is innocent.  The gang discusses their experiences over the holidays and Brenden mentions how things are, not quite the same as they used to be.  Cori gives some shout outs to some celebrity listeners, while Cailin stays fairly quiet, but still reminds us that, "We're going to get sued!"  Bryan brings us another Tapped out update, to the delight of everyone else, and even London makes another brief appearance (even it if was off mic).  Listen in as Bryan and Cori toss up some salad and make some scrambled eggs through their discussion and feelings about Frasier and how it relates to this episode.  Cori upped the ante and did her research for this one.  She brought in some great behind the scenes tidbits and interesting facts about this episode from what many would call the heyday of The Simpsons.  You don't want to miss this one!  Thank you, as always, to our sponsor Anchor, and of course you for listening!

With Halloween quickly upon us we decided to switch things up and go off script a bit.  For this episode we decided to jump ahead a bit to Season 2 and take a look at the first Treehouse of Horror episode.  We have a lot of fun on this one and have a hard time finding anything wrong with this episode.

On this episode we take you back to a long forgotten episode that the Simpson's team has been trying to remove from existence for it's questionable content and the involvement of Edward Furlong. It's hard to find but we found it and we're bringing it to you.

Edward Furlong comes to town and puts one over on the town of Springfield in an attempt for him to make it big again. Looking at the episode through a 2025 lens we can see why it only aired once (never in syndication) and is not available on Disney+. Give it a listen to hear how we feel about it.

We also discuss:

- Confusion around a new approach to watch the Simpsons on Disney+

- Patting ourselves on the back

- The many trials and tribulations of Edward Furlong

- Crazy stuff Cori's Grandma loved

We chose a recent episode, so recent that it originally aired only a few weeks ago. A star studded Series Finale fake out that starts as a tribute to the long running series turns into a nice little story about Bart being forced to deal with change.

- A "Hello Therapist" segment right off the bat

- Cori spills all the tea on her beef with Kerri Russell

- Homeboys from Outer Space and other ridiculous shows from the past

- Poorly timed applause

- Would this be a satisfying finale?
