S22E21 - 500 Keys

Birthday boys Dan and Jack gift themselves with a possibly good Season 22 episode, 500 Keys, featuring four key-based storylines that may or may not intertwine or actually be entertaining or logical. Who has the dirtiest of butts? What is the only reason Dr. Manhattan exists? What's the number one video on YouTube? What's your favorite unit of measurement from the back of a marble notebook? All that plus two mugs, giant neon mug helmets, Mike Muggings, and our favorite root beer brand.

S22E09 - Donnie Fatso

Coming to you from the pitch black darkness of WEE Studios, Dan and Jack watch Season 22's un-Advent-ful adventure Donnie Fatso, where Homer goes into the Mafia undercover for Jon Hamm and Fat Tony dies only to gets Landfilled.

All that plus the Mr. Mxyzptlk/Vlassic connection, Worst Episode Ever gets a new title, and a preview of our new podcast: Gremlins 2: The New Cast.

S22E15 - The Scorpion's Tale

Special guest Harry Nelson of the Harry Says Yes podcast joins Jack & Dan to discuss Season 22's The Scorpion's Tale, an episode that features Werner Herzog as a pharmaceutical giant/Willy Wonka character and eyeballs popping out of everyone's heads. Topics include why Simpsons writers need to start showing their work, the means needing to justify the ends when it comes to jokes and storytelling and a classic all over Web of Spider-Man plot. Why is Dan buying so much syrup? Is Jack the Robot Devil? Will there be a Choose Your Own Podcast adventure played out over WEE, Harry Says Yes and Desert Masturbation 101? All that, plus Harry won't shut up, Dan's product placement conspiracy theory expands and Jack begins to talk about some pancakes he ate before thinking better of it.

S22E17 - Love is a Many Strangled Thing

Our Thirtyversary brings returning guest Brice Canedo-Pullan (the Grover Cleveland of WEE guests) and our very first Season 22 episode, Love is a Many Strangled Thing. When Homer makes Bart pee himself at a football game, he visits Paul Rudd and Kareem Abdul Jabar to rid himself of his desire to strangle Bart. Sure. Why not. What's the deal with this episode's completely insane story structure? Is he Paul Rudd or Paul Blandd? Will WEE ever get published on time? (Actually, we're switching to Thursday releases from now on.) Plus, the official Dalek theme music, more talk about Stephen King's The Stand, and yes, a little bit more Groophic. This one went so long that our usual deleted scenes is probably going to be a second full episode. That's either thanks for your patience or punishment for your complaining.
