Cotton Hill crashes Bobby’s 12th birthday party, and suddenly the balloons aren’t the only thing deflating. In Shins of the Father, King of the Hill introduces its most complicated (and shinless) character—and Rob and Ronnie have a lot to say about him. From bean dip meltdowns to Cotton’s shotgun parenting style, this one’s as dense and hilarious as they come.

We also get into:

• The tragic comedy of Bobby’s stand-up act
• Why Bill might’ve had the best time at Bobby’s party
• Had Peggy heard the Hotel Arlen story?
• The bean dip anxiety spiral/middle school social pressure
• Luanne actually standing up for herself (!), corn pone threats included
• Cotton’s insane war story: feeding Fatty to sharks before things “took a turn for the worse”
• Dale’s disappearing kidney conspiracy
• Peggy’s lipstick monologue and Hank finally putting his foot down

It’s been 15 years… but Arlen is back, baby!

King of the Hill Season 14 has landed, and the Yep boys have thoughts. Ronnie and Rob binge-watched all ten episodes of the revival (twice, in some cases), and they're here to talk about all of it—the surprises, the animation, the voice changes, the emotional gut-punches, and of course… Saudi Arabia. It's a no-spoilers-barred convo about the return of the Hills.

Topics discussed:

• Why the first episode didn't work (but the rest of the season shines)
• Bobby Hill: Dallas restaurant owner, grown-up, still adorable!
• Dale's new voice(s)
• The Connie & Bobby relationship—sweet, awkward, and perfectly serialized
• Lauren Tom kicks ass
• The most upsetting voice recast (spoiler: it's Khan)
• Old characters in new contexts
• How the revival nails "slice of life" storytelling in modern Arlen

The new KOTH season airs TODAY! Rob and I are going to watch it and talk about it as soon as possible — follow this podcast wherever you're listening to get the new episode when it releases!

New neighbors just moved in—and the Hills are about to learn a lot more than they bargained for.... or not. It’s the episode that introduces the Souphanousinphones, kicks off Hank and Khan’s long-running feud, and features one of the greatest burgers ever grilled. The Yep boys dig into the culture clash, the passive-aggressive culinary warfare, and why Dale is so sure someone got blowdarted.

We talk about:

• How this episode was going to be (but thankfully wasn't) the King of the Hill pilot
• Bringing Doritos on a manufactured life boat situation
• Peggy’s spectacular display of unearned cultural confidence
• Avoiding neighbors
• The first appearance of Minh, and why she’s such a perfect character
• Hoping a pretty girl would move in next door (so you could never actually talk to her, just admire from inside your house)
• Hank’s descent into suspicion, snooping, and possible psychosis
• Domino's 30 minute delivery
• The delicate art of crafting a burger that makes Hank betray propane
• How Bobby and Connie’s sweet friendship mirrors their dads’ journey to tolerance
• That extremely weird Dale ending... 

Is the meat dog? Is the neighbor Japanese? Is nutmeg the secret to everything? We’re answering almost none of these questions—just talking it all through.

Life, death, and pooping... this episode has it all! Author and podcaster John Paul Scotto joins the Yep boys to crack open one of King of the Hill’s strangest early episodes—where Hank’s stubborn bowels just might kill him.

We talk about:

• How Hank’s constipation isn’t just physical, it’s emotional
• ALL the fluids
• Why this is probably the least “funny” episode so far… and why that’s actually brilliant
• Being made to decay and sucked by trees
• Peggy turning into Hank’s overbearing caretaker (with a little too much Megamucil)
• Doctor's attitudes
• Bobby being the only Hill with a healthy relationship to reality
• The genuinely tender moment that finally gets Hank’s plumbing moving again

It’s an awkward, oddly sweet look at marriage, privacy, and trying to keep the people you love alive—even if you have to sneak laxatives into their ice cream. (Sorry, Hank.)

In Season 1’s most emotionally raw and visually strange episode yet, Hank scrambles to fix Luanne’s heartbreak like she’s a busted carburetor—because he kind of wants his den back. But what starts as a mission of self-interest becomes something much more tender… even if Hank has to eat his feelings to get there.

We also discuss:

• The moment Bill might’ve fallen in love with Peggy

• The debut of Chuck Mangione and how “Feels So Good” became a recurring joke

• Boomhauer’s role as the quiet moral center of the group

• Peggy’s feminist monologue—so intense it was cut for syndication

• Rob crying on an 18-hour car ride because he didn’t ask for a girl’s number

• Ronnie playing video games all summer after getting dumped

• Buckley’s chocolates

• Bobby licking syrup off a plate at midnight while everyone else spirals

This one’s got heart, tears, VHS workout tapes, and possibly the origin of Hank’s unmentionable problem.

Hank has an intricate plan for how he and his hero Willie Nelson will play golf, write songs, and travel together. He’ll just have to make a good first impression…someday. But Bobby ain’t right and flings a golf club into the Red-Headed Stranger’s red head. And he smeared cheese all over Hank’s beloved guitar. And he rammed the riding mower into Hank’s trunk. What the boy needs is a hero, and not some sickly shut-in gamer. Willie takes a break from that IRS hullabaloo to guest star as himself, and the Yep guys are here to talk about that, prized possessions, Peggy’s jealousy, Boomhauer’s most iconic dang ol internet rant, man, and our own heroes.

In the third episode of King of the Hill, we find out a lot about some of our favorite characters. Bill’s a depressed drunk who’s kept his ex-wife’s socks. Dale’s a coward. Dang ol Boomhauer, man, he’ll hook up with a hippie, man. Gracia Ibanez has big ol honkin feet. And Bobby’s a shaman. Plus, we get another look at how growing up with shinless terror Cotton has Hank confused about how to be a good dad. It’s camping, bird thwacking, Slim Jims, and the funniest talkin park ranger ever this time on Yep.

A whole Texas town of misinformed, uncomfortable grown ups needs someone to cover Sex Ed over at the middle school because some nutjob scared off the Health teacher. Now it’s up to reigning Substitute Teacher of the Year Peggy Hill to overcome her own shame and say vaaaaagina!

Here on Yep, we talk about Genuwine’s sexy saddle, Bobby’s fear of being a slut, seeing boobs, which Friends doll to pump full of lead, Hank’s eventual devotion, Peggy’s resolve, and of course those threatening phone calls from—we don’t know who that is. It’s one of the best and funniest episodes of anything ever, plus we all get to learn about the eighteen stages of arousal!

In the first ever episode of King of the Hill, Bobby gets a black eye and Hank yells at the Mega-Lo-Mart, so a social worker comes around thinking Hank beats his boy. Boomhauer rambles about dang old something, man. Dale’s son looks like he might be someone else’s son. Luanne’s a better truck mechanic than the guys. And Bobby ain’t right…but Hank loves him, anyway. Here on Yep, we talk about how it all started in January 1997, back when Ronnie’s favorite band, The Smashing Pumpkins, had just followed a double album with a box set of 5 EPs, Rob thought Arlen might have been a real town, and Mike Judge and Greg Daniels created one of the best shows of all time.
