This week we get biblical with special guest David Dedrick, the colorist on the comic Sparks and the cohost of Sneaky Dragon podcast! David assists us with some religious history as us heathens learn about the Old Testament Springfield style. That means dead unicorns, eating frogs, Jesus in small claims court, giant corn holders, and so much more! Bring the German potato salad and listen along!

Ironically the main churches I went too actually had the opposite temperature problem, they keep the air conditioner going on all the time even when it's cold outside. I made my mom laugh when I crafted the theory of "the reason they're making our church so cold is because they need to be the opposite of Hell, which is hot."

In terms of jokes that sort of sell out the show in this era, "Nope!" may be my favorite.

Frank Grimes

Between this and tall tales, are probably my least favorite retold stories from the simpsons perspective.

The people talking about Strangers With Candy were probably mixing it up with Unbreakable where Sedaris plays a very Jerri Blank like character.

The VeggieTales version of Jericho is one of the videos that I watched as a kid. Josh and the Big Wall is a pretty sanitized version of the story. The Israelite veggies walk around the wall and blow their horns as instructed by God. The wall falls down and the people of Jericho (French peas) are seemingly unharmed but run away when Joshua says this is his land now. The most memorable part of the video for me was that the guards on the top of the wall are played by the VeggieTales’ stereotype of the French peas. This is used as an excuse to do their take on the French knights from Monty Python and the Holy Grail complete with silly accents, insulting people on the ground, and throwing things. This video has the main song of the story and is about as good as these cartoons got in my experience. https://youtu.be/QXM2o_Hb9Ls

Maybe it's the bad taste of the later "Tall Tales" type stories, but I really don't like any of these short stories episodes outside of the Halloween context. The pace gets to be too fast for much of anything to happen, which is probably why the 2nd and 3rd stories feel so incomplete, especially with the 30-seconds of King Solomon parody. Also I know multi-millionaires don't need defending, but Judge Judy is a good jurist, clearly knows what she's talking about, and does it in a way that's entertaining. I remember in law school a friend's spouse knew almost as much about contract law as we did based almost entirely on watching Judge Judy before bed.

Thanks so much for having a progressive Christian on this show. As someone who has fallen in and out of God-bothering over the last 20 years, it made me really happy to have a non-shitty believer along for this particular ride.

I certainly remember watching this episode in the past, and it's got some good bits, but I think because it's an out of continuity thing that isn't Halloween-themed, I kind of just jettison it from my mind when thinking about the Simpsons. I'm not saying this is some definitive breaking point for the show (because there isn't one and I still like episodes after this), but I think it's the first one that's really made me go "why does this one exist?" It's not even bad, but it just seems like something that only exists because the show went on long enough to have the writers ask enough "what if?" questions to get to this premise. It's just very odd to me.

Thanks to this episode, my friends and wife have used "To us, he was X the consensus builder" for various fictional villains pretty consistently for 20 years.

For when you get to Simpsons Tall Tales, here's what makes a hobo knife a hobo knife: It has a spoon in it for eating your can of beans.

Joe Hodgson

Oh man, I think you guys inadvertently revealed that the beginning of each edition of Talking Simpsons contains the podcast equivalent of an online recipe blog. "Who are you, Guest Star, and what do you do? How did we get here?" and that realization gave me a good chuckle. Though in this case I wouldn't describe it as suffering, as Bob put it, nor do I intend for that to sound like criticism so put your pitchforks away Talking Simpsons fans.

My favorite thing about Left Behind was the RTS game had a quote on the back of the box talking about how good Left Behind is that was from the wife of the writer.

Mannequin on the Moon

Great episode. I watched this one a few times while writing a comic book continuation of it years ago. We did Noah, The Prodigal Son and Abraham sacrificing his son. I got to tell Tim Long about it at a Canadian comedy festival and... he didn’t care. But the important thing is Dave was a swell guest packed to busting with great Bible context.

Bob says that it's the "wrong religion" when Homer asked for more wives, but polygamy was allowed in the Old Testament. In fact, King Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines! In the New Testament polygamy started to be frowned upon. I thought this episode was pretty weak. Nearly all the jokes are duds, I groaned at the People magazine gag. Well, I chuckled at "a king fit for a meal". Also Homer's "I didn't say stop" was a nice callback to Lisa's jug in "Homer the Vigilante". Otherwise I'll still be skipping this one on my next rewatch.

You interpreted Lisa's character in the Moses story as a made-up one. I'm not sure how intentional it was, but her role actually does line up quite a bit with Aaron, Moses' brother and hype-man. Contrary to the image of a bellowing Heston, biblical Moses actually was a bit more like Milhouse --too shy to confront the Pharaoh on his own. Aaron, as a priest, did a lot of the heavy lifting of talking to people on his behalf. Shoutout to the Apocrypals podcast. Been getting a lot of the more historical and analytical non-believer perspective on Bible from there after just having the surface-level Sunday School memory of those stories for so long.

I love Bob's Strangers With Candy dinner story because I've been present a few times when people we're having dinner with were saying the wrong facts or opinions he strongly disagrees with and I'm always amazed by how he holds back from saying anything out of politeness, and with a straight face too, when I know he's dying inside. He's the anti-That Guy. I wasn't present at that dinner, but I can imagine his pain

John Harrison

I enjoyed the guest for this episode, it was nice to have someone who knew a bit about the Bible.
