After we hear all about working with Matt Groening, we learn about the interior life of Bart's teacher, all while also getting a masterclass in swearing, hockey Allstars, the many uses of zinc, and more. So grab your swear jar and listen along!

Because, again, I'm a complete nerd, I noticed some reused animation. When Homer says: "Marge, dogs love the outdoors", the animation is taken from "Itchy and Scratchy and Marge" when Homer announces he'll build Marge a spice rack. They flipped it horizontally. https://frinkiac.com/caption/S02E09/105869

Speaking of urban legends and slashing tires, idk if it’s true but people have always told me that If you’re going to slash someone’s tires, to only do 2 or 3 instead of all 4. Same effect but apparently insurance doesn’t cover it then, since you can’t prove it was a slashing as easily. Again this may be an urban legend, but I really hope it’s true. I appreciate the level of pettiness involved.

And your teacher is wrong. Wrong I say! Writing “Xmas” is literally keeping the Christ in Christmas. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christogram “The most commonly encountered Christogram in English-speaking countries in modern times is the Χ (or more accurately, Chi), representing the first letter of the word Christ, in such abbreviations as Xmas (for "Christmas") and Xian or Xtian (for "Christian").”

My mom was an elementary school teacher, and I remember her loving this episode and explaining that dating was really hard since there wasn't a ton of adult interaction aside from the other teachers, and most of them were older married women (my mom did mention that a lot of them did offer to set her up when she was single, though). As for the kids (in this case literally) picking up things in school, my favorite story from my mom's teaching days is the time when she was teaching second grade and one kid mentioned that another kid "had a toy" my mom asked the kid to put it away, and then realized to her horror, that the kid was playing with a (thankfully unused) condom. She was like "um, let me hold onto that for now . . ." and had to call the kid's parents to make sure everything was okay at home. Obviously, the kid's parents were super embarrassed and they deduced that the kid had probably found it in a drawer somewhere and thought it was cool and brought it in to school. My mom was just really glad that the kids were all too little to know what it was and that she didn't have to deal with that conversation in class. (I think this happened around 2005 or 2006 or so).

Bob's confession about the prank he and his friends played on another kid reminded me of a long-buried prank in my past. In my neighborhood, it was like a rite of passage to be allowed by one's parents to walk from our house to a nearby 7-11. It required crossing two busy roads, though the entire walk was probably a half mile at most. One of my friends and I did it one day (we were 10) and part of the walk would take us past another kid's house from our class who was a friend, but also that friend that no one really knows why they're friends with them because no one really likes him, he was just "there." Sort of like a Cartman. On our way back, we would pass a newspaper dispenser and a common prank was to pay a quarter to open the box and then just take all of the papers instead of one. We were going to do that, but when we opened it we found they were all gone so we just took the display paper. Apparently still needing to get that prank itch scratched, we used that paper to pick-up a discarded condom on the side of the road. Now, this was a common sight and honestly I think other kids would buy them for pranks and it was probably not a used condom in the traditional sense. We still didn't touch it, but we took that paper and shoved it in the previously mentioned kid's mailbox as his family had one of those plastic, dedicated newspaper mailboxes. The next day, the kid comes to school with an "incredible" story for us: "Some people had sex and then shoved their used condom into our family's mailbox!" He said his dad called the cops and we had a good laugh, but we also never came clean and that kid moved away maybe 3 years later.

My school also had a ‘rip a phone book in half guy’ come and tell us not to do drugs or something. Though he also had the gimmick of having lots of tattoos and we were encouraged to ask questions about them.

We had plenty of borderline illegal assemblies at my school (yes, we had guys ripping phonebooks in half but it was for Jesus, even though I went to a public school), various presentations like “Pepsi Presents: How to Handle Peer Pressure”, but my favorite was some old dude who would narrate super 8 footage of his various trips to parks. I grew up close to the Ohio border (not far from Youngstown), so I am super curious if this guy came to Bob’s school. I believe his name was Tom Diez or something like that.

The timing of this Gordie Howe episode is pretty good. Alex Ovechkin is currently sitting at 800 goals and will pass Howe any day now. Lots of people are goal post moving with "you have to count Howes WHL goals" at the moment as well.

Oh! I’ve had a real “Sleep? That’s where I’m a Viking” moment with the “old Sparkle” joke. I always thought it meant that the picture was of Sparkle when she was younger and more idealistic before this gig ground her down. No, it was literally just a different woman she replaced.

Any time I go to an anime or video game convention, they're always selling pretzels and not even the good kind, just a SuperPretzel, and they're now up to eight dollars.

Did anyone else catch Cody's ironically Skinner-esque misspeak? "It made me want to watch mother-- uh, OTHER episodes about Mrs. Krabappel." XD

The weirdest assembly I ever had was in high school when the defense attorney for Gary Ridgeway, the green river serial killer, came to talk at our school. He basically gave a true crime style overview of the case. It should be noted this was in the general area where the murders took place but also it was only a year or two after he was convicted

Great episode, was fun to hear Cody on the podcast! -- Talking about cussing as a kid reminded me of the time I had heard a friend on the school yard (this would've been like grade 1 or 2) say "cock sucker." I didn't know what it meant, other than it was probably bad, so I asked my older brother what it was after school, and he told me something to the effect of "it's a dirty word for penis" and that I shouldn't be saying it. A bit later on that afternoon, I was playing Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow (why I remember it this specifically, I'm not sure) and was getting frustrated at a portion where you're trying to navigate through a bunch of rushing enemy soldiers. He was needling me about dying a bunch (as older siblings can do), so I get especially mad after a bit and called him a cock sucker. I got a stern talking to from my mom after she got home from work that evening, and was told to never say it again (which I of course would then say a lot, just never in front of siblings/parents again for years). My mom was always fairly strict about swears even into my later teens as I would start defending my cussing to her, given how much she herself swears.

I found a version of the article Henry mentions with another quote from Groening: "If anything is going to cause kids to consider suicide, it's the bad cartoons on Saturday morning."
