It's the first episode of 2022! Before we dive in to Season 9, what better way to begin than to look at the potential end? Your three hosts sit down to discuss their thoughts about how The Simpsons could, and maybe should, choose to bow out (if and when the time comes).

Would it be better to end the show with a random story, or should it have a definitive end? Should the show come to a natural conclusion once the main cast are unable to do it anymore? Were the last 30 seasons all just a dream? Let us know your thoughts...
