We'll never not have something to say about The Simpsons. Or the recent bumper crop of quality Simpsons memes. What's more difficult to talk about is this abysmal collection of surreal Simpsons minigames. So instead we do what we always do, and range far afield.

Nevada is home to a lot of intense people, and Autumn Greer joins me to talk about one of the most extreme: Collie Entragian.

It's an evolutionary dead end that lives as a footnote about the PlayStation, and little more. But you shouldn't ignore it.
