I work for the Milwaukee County Historical Society and the bus thing made me laugh so hard. Thanks for making my day!

Who puts their wallet in their front pocket? I do! It was causing me significant sciatica pain because it misaligned my back when sitting. It also deters pick-pocketing.

Hassan Khalatbari

The guest talked over every clip. Please fire him for that blunder.

RE: Monorails as public transit, from my understanding it's still very divisive among public transit advocates, though there's a good argument that they're way too impractical and expensive for a problem that can be solved by better, cheaper, and more efficient transport solutions. This video by Adam Something is a good rundown of why (and yes, there's a reference to the Simpsons in the thumbnail) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9f__nhlHC1g I actually have some personal experience with monorails, briefly riding one in Sydney in 2012... a year before it was demolished. And yes, a group of aussie comedians made a parody of that event referencing this episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q85NGPeIOxE

I thought Chris was going to ask, "Can Batman outrun the Flash?" during the "Batman's a scientist!" discussion.

On the community pod didn’t yall say this one was super long? Or was that something else

I love The Music Man. But I'm from Iowa so I think that's required. And Meredith Willson is probably the most famous Iowan after Carson, John Wayne, and Slipknot.

Fun fact, William Shatner has also opened a monorail! At Alton towers theme park in England in 1987.

I used to know a couple who lived in Pittsburg, NH. This was in 2012 so fairly recent. If you've never looked that closely at the state of New Hampshire on a map, Pittsburg is the northern most town in the state and borders Canada. They lived on a private, dirt, road and to get to work in the winter they did indeed need to use chains on their wheels. Even though the road was plowed, it wasn't always plowed in a timely fashion. The chains were pretty annoying because once you get to the end of the dirt road you need to get out of the car, unfasten the chains, drive forward off of the chains, then get out and put them away. A couple of years ago my dad also gave me the chains kit to my Dodge Caravan. It wasn't a poorly thought out gift or anything, he just worked at a car dealership and a van came in on trade that actually had those so he gave them to me. They're in the my basement and if I ever actually need them that's where they surely will be just so I can say, "Damn, I actually could have used those things."

I still consider this the best episode of the series, hands-down. One of my favorite subtle jokes is that the episode is book-ended with Homer doing severe damage to the streets of Springfield (first with the snow chains and piano, then with his improvised anchor).

While Airplane! does borrow heavily from the elements of the Airport series of films, its primary inspiration is the 1957 Dana Andrews movie Zero Hour! The plot, characters, some direct lines of dialogue, and even the exclamation point in the title are directly ripped from this Paramount feature, and apparently it was chosen because Abraham’s and the Zucker’s would tape late night TV for comedy material and ended up with a recording of the entire Zero Hour! film, and according to Jerry Zucker they thought it was a “perfectly classically structured film”, so they lifted it wholesale.

Carlos Ramirez

Great episode even though I don’t like that you guys were pig on a time table for the biggest episode, also I sometimes for got you guys had an audience… if I were there I’d be obnoxiously enthused, even though I’m sure that’s the opposite of what you want… I guess what I’m trying to say is people should WANT to see you guys where ever you are, great ep and congrats

Jeffrey Allred

Great episode! I finally watched The Music Man yesterday and it was amazing as expected. Do you think you guys can do it for April’s non-cartoon movie sometime? I’d love to hear your guys breakdown.

Christmas Ape

This is one of the most famous episodes of The Simpsons, so of course I'm going to comment on two of the obscure, tangentially-related clips you played: -The funniest moment in Steel Justice is the flashback to the son's death in a drive-by bazooka attack. -That particular episode of In Search Of has some dire predictions for the distant future year of 1990.

To Boldly Joe... Moore

The musical score in this episode is so underrated. It's just perfect! 😁 Great review, guys! Laughed all the way through! 😄
