(Recorded live at PianoFight in San Francisco on January 28, 2018.) Talking Simpsons breaks format once again for our second live show as we explore the greatest hits of Homer's side gigs. Though The Simpsons started out as a fairly realistic show about a guy with a working-class job, it wasn't long before Homer found himself in space, part of a Grammy-winning band, and behind the wheel of a monorail as a mono-thingie-guy. Join us for an exciting exploration of Homer's adventures in employment, and thrill as our great audience decides which job reigns supreme! Special thanks to PianoFight for being such a great and accommodating venue!

Spirituality, restaurants, and pogs all in one episode - you know it's a classic Simpsons. After befouling church with rock and/or roll, Bart sell his soul to Milhouse only to deeply regret it soon after. Meanwhile, Moe loses the dank and makes his bar into a family feedback, with expensive fries and crazy crap on the walls. So listen along as we revisit this one. ♪ It's good, good, good, good, good, good, good. ♪

Recorded at SF Sketchfest Nightlife on January 18, 2018, Bob, Henry, and Chris all did our first live show and it was a ton of fun.
