Kevin Nash

It is really weird to hear my name said so many times at the beginning of this episode. I use to get fan mail and phone calls for the real Kevin Nash years ago. I'm always surprised even I hear his name pop up.

Tony King

I'm English and love peanut butter, and I feel like many of us do. I don't know what kind of terrible English people you guys knew! 😀

This episode always sticks out in my mind because it was one of the first I saw as a kid back when I made it a point to start watching The Simpsons regularly in syndication.

Steven Jacobs

Minor nitpick, but how would the Moody Blues know Homer and Ned's names having never met them before?

mavrick

Revenge was so GOOD....for its time. just really great mechanics.

Brian Hortin

The Leftorium did finally close in the season 29 episode Left Behind. Before this the store had already been downsized to one side of a mall kiosk, Leftorium Express.

Carlos Hernandez

Is this episode the herald of trash to come? The t-shirt gun has been loaded.

Regarding "sequel" episodes in the earlier seasons, aside from Sideshow Bob, Herb Powell got a second episode as well. I don't know if Who Shot Mr. Burns or the clip shows are in the spirit of what you were talking about, but an argument could be made.

The impetus for Ned going wild Homer's way being the realizing that his lifelong denial of any urge he had reminds me of the shitty experience of playing "Never Have I Ever" in high school. One particular time, I ended up winning after I beat the friend I tied with in an online "purity test" I did with her. It was the hollowest victory I've probably ever had, because all it did was remind me of how sexless (and dateless) I was, despite having had things for several different people during high school.

So this is kinda cool, but I actually got to work with episode director Neil Affleck in an online animation collaboration group. I got to pitch storyboards and character designs to him over Skype, and he gave me good tips and feedback on both. I didn’t ask him anything Simpsons-related, unfortunately, but I did offhandedly mention Film Roman at one point, to no reaction.

white claws are a blue lives matter company so don't drink that bootlicker shit, plenty of other good ones out there that aren't on that meme status. oscar blue's wild basin ones fuck.

DrKarate

I can't believe the casino blew up this season! It feels like it was a mid teens gag. Still always love "IM-plosion?!"

Angel Young

I don't know if this will be covered on the season 10 deleted scenes but I remember hearing that the line where Barney has the same birthday as Lassie was suppose to be "Barney's birthday is April 20th same as Hitler's." In fact you can kind of tell in the lip sync that he wasn't supposed to say Lassie.

littleterr0r

Wait, you guys don't know what White Claws are?

My mom loved the moody blues so I have fond memories of listening to their tapes and cds growing up especially on long car trips Knight in white satin is good, your wildest dreams is another good one in a similar vein For something different Im just a singer

Kris

Seriously I'm going down a moody blues hole. Forgot how much I love this band

Jack Christmas

I think the continuity break of Flanders being 60 ultimately isn't really a big deal, but given how many, many ways you could get to the basic plot point "Ned wants Homer to help him have fun", it does feel somewhat lazy. At least with Principal and the Pauper, the major rewrite to Skinner's history (another Harry Shearer character. Huh) was really the only way to tell that story. There was a purpose. In Viva Ned Flanders, it was pretty much just for the shock/novelty and less than 1 minute of gags. And it wasn't even *that* funny. It's a bit disappointing. Also, I have a sudden urge to know - is Ned saying "And then there's Maude... and then there's Maude!" a deliberate reference to the 70s sitcom?

Tekrelm

Well, it finally happened: I know I've seen more recent episodes, but it was apparently at this exact point in the series that I stopped watching each new episode of the show as they aired, because I don't think I've ever seen this episode before. I know there are hundreds more unseen episodes out there, but it's a long-forgotten feeling, seeing an episode of The Simpsons for the first time.

Micah

Henry assuming a Steelworker could support himself and his partner on just 1 blue collar salary? The character is just another tragic victim of the gig economy

PurpleComet

Futurama has two jokes that are reminiscent of ones in this episode. In "The Day the Earth Stood Stupid", Fry mentions Bender has his power of attorney. Also in "A Fishful of Dollars" Fry bids one jillion dollars at an auction, causing the audience to gasp. The auctioneer then informs him that isn't a real number, causing a second gasp.

Very inspired choice of guest for this episode. One of the things I really appreciate about Bob and Henry is that you do your homework when you’ve got guests coming on. It would be easy to just toss random people on your podcast and make them talk about Simpsons, but you actually listen to their podcasts/watch their shows/enjoy their work and turn the podcast into a legit interview.

Davey K.

Both of you should go to Star Trek Las Vegas next year and try the hoof drinks! It's giant plastic cup the size and shape of a zebra leg filled tot he brim with your choice of drink. I'm sure you will find fellow podcasters doing the same.

Joe Hodgson

The line about Ned enjoying his white bread with a glass of water for dipping conjures up images of those hot dog eating contests that get broadcast on the fourth of July. To make it easier to eat the buns, contestants dunk those things in cups of water to suck 'em down quicker and I just find it so repulsive. The whole spectacle of an eating contest is pretty gross in general, but that detail especially makes me sick to my stomach for some reason.

Plaid

NRBQ are not the "Takin' Care of Business" guys. BTO are the TCB guys. As Homer will point out in a coming episode: that's just how they talked in the 70's, we didn't have a moment to spare.

John Harrison

Its a bizarre thing really, I'm a glutton but I enjoy eating. So the idea of eating as much as I can, as fast as I can is just repulsive to me. The two can happen, but independently of the other.

oldmetalpossum

I actually visited Las Vegas for the first time ever on the day this episode posted to the feed! It wasn't exactly like this episode made me think it was when I was a kid but there were still plenty of elderly folks robotically gambling.

Lockerus

No mention of the Ned Flanders-themed metal band Okilly Dokilly and their hit single "White Wine Spritzer"?
