Content

We welcome back our friend/video game historian Chris Kohler, as we take a trip through parenthood AND the early 1980s! Yes, this week we learn how Homer married Marge, as well as how Bart was born, how Homer got his job, and tons more in this classic ep full of memorable '80s trivia worth explaining. We'd tell you more about this podcast, but we don't want to be a "Mr. Blow-The-Podcast-for-Me" type!

Heyyyy, plus Chris will be at PRGE. Good timing.

My husband and I had some practical “yes, let’s get married at some point” discussions, and I told him I would only say yes if he proposed with an onion ring — mostly just to reiterate that I really didn’t want an engagement ring. I always thought he’d arrange to do it at the Simpsons Trivia show we used to attend monthly (Stonecutters LA!) but then the pandemic happened and IRL trivia events stopped happening, and I basically forgot about it. That year for my birthday we went hiking in Topanga Canyon because it was August 2020 and there was nothing else to do. Then, at one of the world’s least-likely places to find an onion ring, the top of a mountain in the part of LA where there’s basically nothing open ever regardless of pandemic, he proposed with a felt onion ring he ordered from Etsy. Two months later, on Halloween, we got married outside the Voodoo Donut at Universal City Walk for $300 (including coffee and donuts!) No Budgie the whale, but they did throw in a free Devil Flanders donut because they felt bad that we had to do it outside. It was the small, weird wedding of my dreams, and we didn’t have to invite any parents!

Chris made out much better than me with his Disney proposal. I proposed at Disney World, but I did it at a photo spot by the castle so it would be captured on film. We just got free buttons that say "I'm Engaged" or "We're Engaged," I can't remember, and of course a lifetime of memories and some nice pictures. Though a tip for anyone thinking of the same, do it at the start of your trip so you have those buttons for any dinner reservation to come since you're basically guaranteed to get some perk out of it, I just never got on a ride quicker. I'm surprised by Bob's mention that he has few peers with that name. Bob, or Robert, was super popular in my town. I had four or five Bobby or Bob friends at different points in my life growing up, only ever had one other Joe though. Maybe New Hampshire is just the secret Bob capital of the country. And to avoid sleep deprivation with a new baby, you gotta commit to full night shifts. I would be on feedings one night, my wife the next, and alternate from there that way at least one person is getting a decent night's sleep. For our second kid though my wife kind of got screwed because our daughter was a nipple purist and wouldn't drink from a bottle and I lacked the necessary equipment to get up with her. Babies are weird.

Oh, man. I grew up in Trenton NJ, home of the Champale factory. Maybe 3 miles away. I can confirm that the entire area smelled like farts from whatever the hell process was used to make the drink. The factory, IIRC, was torn down about 30 years ago, to make room for the Trenton Thunder minor league baseball stadium.

My feelings on this episode changed drastically since my kid was born a year and a half ago. Even though he was thoroughly planned for, becoming 50% responsible for the economic and overall well-being of another person builds in this strange sense of shame about not being able to do it well enough. Additionally, my wife and I have been together through al of our post college broke years and the effect financial burdens can have in a solid relationship are real.

I got camp deadly for my bday the following year

Chris Dobson

There were so many 80's kids named Chris that, in 4th Grade, I couldn't even be "Chris D.," because there was another kid named "Chris Dunn" in my class. Patty has so many hilarious lines in this episode and I love how, instead of having TV sitcom banter, Homer's response is to just angrily tell her to shut up. I find P&S extremely funny in my 30's and it's a shame they disappeared from the show in the Scully years and then Al Jean... well you'll get to it eventually.

Gayest Episode Ever

I like how the hosts specify that the both got married — “to separate people”

Thoren Murphy

I was blessed with cool parents who named me after Thorin Okenshield from "The Hobbit" in '89, way before it was mainstream. It was my Dad's idea and my mom's only note was to switch out the "I' for an "E". It looks better in my opinion.

Cossover

I always thought she a car but she was 50 % sure what the doctor was going to say and she need homer to be with her for that.

Harry Thornton

The moment with Homer blurting out Empire Strikes Back spoilers kinda happened with me: I remember coming out of Rogue One in 2016 with my mum and sister, excitedly talking about that film's climax, specifically the scene with Darth Vader in the hallway... before I stopped myself, instantly reminded of that scene from this episode.

Ben

I’m sorry, Henry, but I’m pretty sure that the “blow” in Gulp’n’Blow is meant to refer to “blow chunks* #quoteyFingers #KelseyGranmerVoice

Frank Grimes

In addition to taking shots at Kool Moe Dee, Mama said knock you out was also a response to critics in general who thought LL didn't have what it took to remain relevant in the ever changing landscape of Hip-Hop. By the time MSKYO was released, Gangsta Rap was the focus, so people/critics questioned if LL could keep up. Keep up he did, to critical acclaim. He would continue to be a mainstream staple and go at the least gold into 2006, while still staring in hit movies and TV.

Sean Riley

my dad did almost the exact thing homer did with the first star wars sequel. i called him and told him i was going to see the movie, literally his first response was "oh i saw that, i couldnt believe when han solo [...]!"

Baby monitors - overrated Cash, cash and more cash for delivery food and household items - underrated

I named my daughter Scarlett, which I thought was a safe unique choice until there was another Scarlett in her preschool and she had to use her last initial.

Watching this now as a 26-year-old is weird, given that it specifically places Homer & Marge at 24. I think it's the first time I've seen an episode of them as ADULTS where I'm now older than they are. Obviously, this is not as insane as what Bob and Henry are feeling as they passed Homer's oldest "present day" age (so far), but given that I was born at the tale end of season 7, it still feels odd to me. When I turned 24, I had recently gotten my master's degree, but was also in the early days of the COVID pandemic, so I was very jobless and had way too much free time, and was going through a rough one. So, in terms of Homer's living situation with Barney, I feel like I was still doing better than him (despite living with my parents still), but seeing that Homer gets married and has a kid, I feel weird. OBVIOUSLY people on average do those things later in life now (if at all), so it's a generational thing, but I was recently single and evidently having less sex than Homer... which is a strange place to be at.

Tashmon Dimps

Yeesh, that alternate name talk gave me PTSD to my high school days. My full name is Wungavu Tashmon Dimps (the same name as my father), and all my life I've gone by that middle name, Tashmon. As you can imagine, having the winning combination of a prefered middle name and it being uniquely Swahili in origin made the introduction to every school year a pain. Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy!

Tyler M.

This episode contains the first of two Supertramp references on the show. The other is Martin saying that the next caller will win Supertramp tickets in Bart’s Inner Child. Super curious who on staff was so obsessed with them.

Thad Komorowski

When I was an ignorant child, I thought Homer's shirt was some sort of crass gag about shooting MLK Jr. (the only prominent "JR" in my worldview at that point). Thankfully, my dad set me straight immediately.

Spyda K

Hearing Lisa suggest naming the new girl “Ariel” reminded me of my own family, and how my sister was named after a cartoon character. While I was named after my mom’s two grandfathers (first and middle name), my sister was given the name “Ariel” by my father. However, she was born the year before Disney’s The Little Mermaid premiered. My dad actually got the name from Princess Ariel of Thundarr the Barbarian.

Diamond Feit

I don't have the means to find the original strip but I'm 84% positive that the entire name association gag came from a Life in Hell strip, because I was a fan before The Simpsons ever aired and I remember reading that joke. It also stood out to me because there WAS a kid named Marcus in my grade and reading that strip made me realize his name was kinda funny. Also, there's an old SNL skit that has very similar energy featuring the one and only Nicolas Cage: https://youtu.be/goPerp_BWvs
