      On this episode Cori decided to pick the episode right after the last one we did. Why did she do that you ask? Could it be that she knows and loves the episode? Maybe it's because it's a Grandpa episode? Maybe it was just pure laziness? You'll have to listen to find out.

    • Episode 97: Gone Maggie Gone or When One Romper Room Shout Out Goes Off the Rail, God Opens Up... Another Rail

    • Episode 94: Much Apu About Nothing or Discourse not Concourse

      We take a look at this episode which serves as a social commentary that unfortunately still rings true. Mayor Quimby finds a scapegoat to justify the cost of high taxes and sadly some of our favorites are right in the crosshairs.

      We're here, we're queer, we don't want any more bears, but we do bring the following to the table:

      - Taking a clear stance on how we feel about murder

      - Could this be the fastest we've ever gotten to talking about an episode

      - Animation goofs

      - The shockingly low salary for Nuclear Safety Inspectors

      - How a misunderstanding led to Bryan and Cori's love story

      - The whirlwind Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman relationship

      - Jokes that don't land

      - Fits of laughter

      - Patrick's US Citizenship test backfires

      - Our thoughts on the Apu controversy


      We hope you enjoy this one and thank you for your support!
