This'll be a great episode to stab people with my hobo knife too.

Boyd Adkins IV

This will pair perfectly with Buffalo-j

For those playing at home, a hobo knife has a spoon for eating your can of beans.

First things first, “cleaning my gun with the safety off” is probably my favorite Homer line in the entire series. I cry with laughter every time I see it. As for the guitar versus banjo discussion, I’ll offer my opinion as a player of both. I would say, that the banjo (specifically a five string banjo) is easier to just pick up and play and learn the basics whereas the guitar is ultimately easier to master. I feel this way because a standard 5 string banjo is tuned to an open g chord, so you can very easily get decent sounding music out of it. But I think the layout and versatility of a guitar fretboard just ultimately makes it easier to progress on whereas on banjo it may be harder to break out of standard folk keys. I think the four string banjo is the easiest out of all them to play, but that’s because a four string banjo is tuned and picked in the same way as a mandolin, and of all the instruments I play, I think mandolin is the easiest.

former iowan here, ive been to the hobo festival a few years ago. there are no ACTUAL hobos there, but ppl are dressed as them. the highlight of the festival is the 'hobo stew' where the whole town has giant kettles and gives free stew to everyone; locals bring big containers and fill up. the stew isnt great, but the for the price its fine (needed way more hobo spices)

I so feel for Bob and Henry when it comes to Halloween Horror Nights: I love the set designs, costumes, animatronics, storytelling… but I also can never go to one of them because it’s just live jump scares over and over, and I am such a wimp. If they had just a scare actor-less version where I can just go through the mazes and appreciate the artistry, that would be much better. When it comes to Disney shorts based on old folk tales, the most recent one they did was in 2000, based on John Henry and directed by the legendary Mark Henn, which is actually really good. It’s done in this sketchy 2D style and it looks amazing. It got overshadowed and kinda buried by the company, but you can check it out if you have that Disney Short Films Blu-ray from a few years ago. I’m surprised you guys didn’t pick up on what's happened with Delaware to inadvertently shake off its boring reputation: Helping to inspire one of the most important and influential western cartoons of the 2010s. Rehoboth Beach, a city whose boardwalk directly inspired Steven Universe’s Beach City, right down to the buildings and signs. The beach just below it is even named "Dewey" Beach! In general I think it's great when creators like Rebecca Sugar bring in specific local references like that, it makes the work stand out from the rest. Everyone knows LA or NYC, but does everyone know a beachside city in Delaware? From what I've seen Family Guy episodes haven’t retired Quagmire outright, instead largely using him as either a boring nothing of a character, or to joke that they can’t do those kinds of "sex-crazy" jokes anymore. From what I've looked into (as in checking on twitter for a bit) it seems that Splash Mountain photo with the GameCube is legit, but the TV does not actually work, it's just a screenshot pasted on a flat surface made up to look like a TV. It's still impressive that (if it's legit) they managed to pose it perfectly for that moment.

I went to Disney World back in September so we were able to slip-in a trip before the Genie/Lightning Pass stuff took over. And the crowds weren't bad, so there were no long waits. We basically walked on the new Star Wars ride. My wife is a travel agent though so she stays up to date on all of the park stuff and Disney's M.O. these days with any price hike is to dangle the photos for free, so I'm pretty sure the attraction stuff is included. And as for Splash Mountain, not only will they not post pictures where flashing takes place (naturally), but now they won't if a rider takes their mask off. We didn't get a pic for that ride because a passenger on the ride took their mask off once they got past the queue, which is annoying. I am not surprised to hear that Flash Mountain largely originated with employees who just stole pictures. I knew someone in high school who worked in the photo department at CVS and he would come across intimate pictures when developing rolls of film and he definitely made an extra copy for himself. Gross - yes, but geez people of the late 1990s, don't hand over a roll of film to a teen that contains nudes. That's what Polaroid was invented for. I am one of the fools who did preorder that Mondo sixth scale Wolverine last summer and this podcast is rather timely as it just arrived on Monday. Summer Joe wasn't super pleased with himself for spending over 200 bucks on this thing, but Winter Joe is happy for his sacrifice because this figure is awesome! I'm a toy collector who usually opens the figure, poses it, then sticks it on a shelf where it will go unattended for months, but I've been messing around with this thing since it got here on Monday. I even just realized the claws are removable so you can move them around or have Wolverine do inappropriate one-claw gestures not suitable for his TV-Y7 rating. Admittedly, it did pain me a little to remove him from the meme-friendly packaging, but he comes with too much stuff to just leave him laying there pining over Jean anyway.

Fun fact! My great-grandmother was IN the Great Chicago Fire (she was not on fire, to clarify, just lived in Chicago during the fire). I'm not 100 years old, I'm just the child of a second marriage (old dad) who was also the child of a second marriage (my old dad also had an old dad). Anyway, don't worry, I won't bore you with fire facts, because my dad used to tell me about how his grandma (who herself was like 100 at the time) would tell him all about the Great Chicago Fire, and when I'd ask him to elaborate he would just say "It was bad. And that's why the buildings aren't made of wood anymore." So that's all I got.

This is the last episode I remember purposefully tuning in for. When the episode started and I heard the Delaware joke from “Behind the Laughter” I remembering thinking “oh, I guess we’re done”.

Bradford A Barker

Did every mid- to late-30s subscriber here have the same childhood? Those references to the always-running Blow Pops ad from the late 80s/early 90s has its "Sour Apple" line-read seared in my memory. And then the Box Car Children, Book 1 vs 2 and on! Mystery novel series were the Kids Police Procedural for the Scholastic Book Fair set, I guess.

SlothIsLegend

I remember seeing this one a ton in syndication, too. A nice light romp and the hobo is probably one of my favorite one-off characters in the entire show. The way he gets immediately nude and instructs Homer on how to sponge him…so funny.

Adam Wingard, the director of Godzilla vs. Kong has been responsible for two of my favorite horror movies of the 2010s (The Guest and You’re Next). Both are really worth checking out and while GvK isn’t my thing, I’m glad he made such a successful movie and am curious if his Face-Off sequel will ever see the light of day.

Cossover

They still most network will play a ad over the ending or the next show sometimes.

James Babbo

Thanks so much for pointing out that audio flub of using Godzilla's roar on Rodan (I hope someone got fired for that one!) but I can't help thinking now that SUPER7 has licenses for both The Simpsons & TOHO's monsters (the announcement was just made on Twitter for a whole new line featuring Godzilla, Rodan, Mothra & others) wouldn't it be cool if they made a series of Godzilla figures based on their appearances on The Simpsons! They could do it! Except for Gamera which is owned by TOHO's rival studio DAEI. I'd buy 'em all!

Gayest Episode Ever

I am posting this because I would have nowhere else to share this information, because college was a long time ago, but after having read Huck Finn in high school and not being impressed by it as being significantly different from Tom Sawyer, I had to read it again for a college class called The American Novel, which began with Huck Finn and ended with Blade Runner — which is to say, the movie and not the Philip K. Dick novel that inspired it. Not only did my professor find thematic linkages between Huck Finn and Blade Runner, but she taught Huck Finn so thoroughly that afterward I felt I had never read it before. It’s not a book for kids the way Tom Sawyer is; it’s a spinoff using a character from that book to tell stories about America that are really deep and also funny in a way I didn’t understand in high school. I wrote a paper about Huck Finn and The Simpsons as satire of specific American conventions (I don’t remember what exactly), and to this day I will sing its praises as a really good book — but you might not ever appreciate it in full if you don’t get Candace Waid to teach it to you. College was dumb, but that one professor is a good argument for why it’s worth it. With that out of my system, I will never speak kindly about college again.

This is a favorite of mine from the Scully era, because it is so packed with memorable jokes that I love to quote or they still make me laugh thinking about them. -OH BOY, BUFFALO TESTICLES -The buffalo killed with the apple -That woman's showing her privates -> All for Silas, All for Silas -This ain't 5 X whiskey, I can still see! -Dillinger Bullets are weak, POWERFUL weak. -Cornpone, tackback -Those are the last two buffalo! As the boys have broken down many episodes this season that are not great conceptually but have tons of jokes, I think Simpsons Tall Tales is the pinnacle of that.

Parker Thompson

Blaming the fire on Mrs. O'leary was just an excuse to beat up the Irish

There actually was a recent-ish episode of "Family Guy" where Quagmire is talking on some kind of interview show and his credit is something among the lines of "retired pervert due to rising of the Metoo movement." Now he's a weird cat guy which I prefer more.

Ben Fraser

Did they not explain why Maggie isn't in this episode at all, or did I just miss it?

Alex Forsyth

I'm going to have to be pedantic about the 2 cents joke. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was published in 1884 and takes place "40 to 50 years ago". America had half cents and they were minted until 1857. So one cent isn't the only cheaper price their bill could have been.

Growing up in rural North Carolina, we had cornbread at just about every major holiday meal. When I finally got to civilization, I realized that what they called "cornbread" (big, spongy, fluffy cakes, baked in an oven) wasn't what *I* called "cornbread" (thin, crispy, fried in a skillet). After the advent of the Internet, I was able to find out that what I'd always called cornbread was, in fact, corn pone. And lemme tell ya, that stuff is *delicious*. Mix up a slurry of corn meal, water, and a little salt, fry it in a pan with vegetable oil (you CAN use bacon drippins/lard if you're old-school and don't care about your circulatory system all that much), fry it 'til it starts crisping up on the edges, flip it over, pull it out when it's golden brown- just excellent.

I remembered the opening "The Simpsons are going to Delaware!" dialogue from Behind the Laughter and how Homer said it'd be the last season, so naive kid me thought this was their way of stealthily announcing this was the final episode ever

Dylan (batmanboy11) Freitag

This isn't a bad episode, especially by the standards of some of the duds of seasons 11 and 12, but I'm really lukewarm on it. Some of the jokes land (especially in the Johnny Appleseed and Paul Bunyan stories), but I guess I just really feel the half-assed nature of it due to its placement at the end of a long season of work. I also think, if I may play "editor" on a 20 year old episode of TV, I would've placed the Tom Sawyer segment in the middle since IMO it's easily the weakest (even if that wouldn't let them have the homeless guy make a joke about how it's not a tall tale but he's out of tall tales).

Bradford A Barker

The opening of the first hobo song is a favorite Simpsons joke of mine. Season 12 gave me a hope that, sure, it isn't going to ever be as good as 3-8 again, but if each episode has a moment like that, there's still enough of a spark to keep up with it. I think I made it two eps into season 13 and had to bail.
