This week we have a mix of dingos and lobsters as we're joined again by Imran Khan! After some blissful sick days playing video games, Lisa is thrust back into school unprepared for a test, leading her to cheat and make things more and more complicated. In a totally unrelated story, Homer befriends a lobster named Pinchy and, well, things don't turn out so well for one of them... Listen now, mate!

If you missed the chance to see one of our many live shows in San Francisco and Portland, the good news is we'll soon be headed to Seattle to do a panel at PAX West 2019 with special guest, the great comedian and professional comedy writer, Mike Drucker!

When: Saturday, August 31st at 12:30pm
Where: PAX West, The Sasquatch Theatre

And here's the panel description, straight from the PAX website:

Anyone who grew up in the ‘90s knows about the (mostly terrible) legacy of Simpsons video games, but what about the fictional games within the show itself? On this panel, join Talking Simpsons Podcast hosts Bob Mackey and Henry Gilbert, and comedy writer Mike Drucker (Nintendo, Marvel, Adam Ruins Everything, The Tonight Show, The Onion, and Full Frontal with Samantha Bee), as they give you a guided tour of the various ways The Simpsons has parodied the medium of video games. From Bonestorm to Escape from Grandma’s House to Robert Goulet Destroyer, we’ll walk our captive audience through the many, many games available exclusively in Springfield!

That's not all—if you attend, you'll also have a chance to buy one of our amazing show posters drawn by the amazing Nina Matsumoto! BE THERE!

Try not to freak out as you listen along to this week's far out podcast!
