"I'm currently incarcerated... Convicted of a crime I didn't even commit! Huh! 'Attempted murder;' now, honestly, what is that? Do they give a Nobel Prize for 'attempted chemistry?' Do they?" - Bob Underdunk Terwilliger

Sideshow Bob returns and dabbles in the world of Springfield politics in ways that may remind you of Watergate and the 1988 US presidential election. But when he uses his new mayoral powers against the Simpsons, Bart and Lisa have to team up or else risk living in a motel that probably costs more than six dollars a night.

Your regularly scheduled episode of Talking Simpsons is being pushed to next week for a very good reason: we've decided to shift our priorities a bit and cover an infamous animated special that's the perfect fodder for our podcast. (And we haven't lost our minds—it's for a good cause.) So if you head on over to our Patreon shop, you'll see that we've covered "The Simpsons Guy," The Family Guy season 13 premiere that mashes up Our Favorite Family with... that other family. The price? A meager $10. And every penny of it will go to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota.

Can't afford an extra $10 this month? We'll see you next week, when we cover season six's Sideshow Bob Roberts. But just remember the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota is always accepting donations, so keep them in mind whenever you've got a little extra in the bank.

Again, if you'd like to hear our exclusive podcast all about the season 13 Family Guy episode, "The Simpsons Guy," just click right here to head over to our Patreon shop.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please DO NOT buy the episode via the iOS Patreon app! Apple personally jacks up the price by $4.50, and that extra fee goes directly to them.

"My son's making so much cash in the t-shirt game that I don't have to work another day in my life! ...Assuming my health does not deteriorate as I age." - Homer Simpson

When Bart's final baby tooth falls, he puts away his childish things and enters the burgeoning adult world of chestwear entrepreneurship. But when he's ripped off by an unscrupulous kook, Homer once again assumes his man of the house role by resolving things with the threat of nuclear annihilation.

We've reached the end of the month (and the beginning of a new year), which means it's time for another episode of our community podcast! This time around, we discuss the most recent Simpsons episodes—before the upcoming drought—and news about another upcoming Simpsons movie: Boots Riley's silver screen adaptation of Mr. Burns, a Post-Electric Play. And, as always, we read and respond to your comments and questions from the last round of episodes. It's all happening on Talk to the Audience: the podcast that's even more fun than Unnecessary Surgery Land!
