Talking Simpsons

Matt Burnett is co-creator of Cartoon Network's fantastic Craig of the Creek, as well as one of the first writers for Steven Universe, and he joins Bob and Henry for Lisa's first crush. Much to Milhouse's dismay, Lisa has a thing for Nelson Muntz, and it leads to painful consequences for everyone. All while Homer annoys the town with auto-dialing happiness!

This week we're joined by writer/illustrator/Twitter badass Kate Leth, a perfect guest as we delve deep into the most sex-positive episode of The Simpsons ever.
