It’s the first episode! I’m joined by comedian Andrew Tisher as we discuss Season Six, Episode 24 of The Simpsons, The Lemon of Troy. Andrew shares his family’s love of the Simpsons, we talk about phrases you hear in comedies that you never hear in real life, and I present my theory that Bart=Achilles. We wrap up with a great conversation about Ned Flanders and how his character has changed over the years.
