Worst Episode Ever (a Simpsons Podcast)

Dan and the Yao to his Ming, Jack, and special guest Dan Ozzi collectively laugh while telling the angry loners who listen to WEE all about Season 16's Homer & Ned's Hail Mary Pass, a post-Super Bowl episode seen by 32 million people, in spite of its horrendous voice acting, ambiguous moral lesson and extended Homer gibberish. Did this episode inspire YouTube? Did Flanders kill a whole farm? Is Dan a Be-Sharper? All that plus the return of Dan's Illuminati product placement conspiracy, Dan Ozzi loves a good troll, and Jack explains why he was on all those white supremacist websites ten years ago.  NEXT WEEK: Season 20's Gone Maggie Gone www.weepodcast.com

Deleted scenes & outtakes from Episode 43: Self-Fulfilling Hashtag, including discussions about the couch gag, the whale's punny name, and bad time travel jokes. All that plus more hashtags, Harry's Dalek transformation, Dan's new air conditioner character and the thrilling mermaid-laden conclusion to Jack's Pancake Trilogy.  www.weepodcast.com

Returning guest Harry Nelson of the Harry Says Yes podcast rejoins Dan and Jack and suggests watching Season 21's The Squirt and the Whale, a bittersweer Lisa-y episode about wind and whales (the two things Lisa likes). After a windstorm comes to Springfield, Lisa devotes her efforts to saving a beached whale while Bart acts like an asshole and Homer does other things. Why does Jack pet every dog he sees seven times? Does random violence to strangers make Dan laugh? Will Pop-rika become the Internet's hottest selling spice? All that, plus the Tremors life-cycle, Harry drops his notes, and we talk about our #mydesktop wallpapers as we crush our golden iron fists. Next Week: Season 16's Homer and Ned's Hail Mary Pass www.weepodcast.com

Deleted scenes & outtakes from Episode 42: Show Your Work including conversations about Bart's suitcase shenanigans, the couch gag and the coyote/roadrunner scene. Also discussed is how Viagra led to the Iraq War, stupid fan theories about Don Draper and just how come Vlassic's mascot is a Stork. All that plus cotton commentary, Dan's Stephen King podcast, Harry's caveman editing, and Jack's Pancake Trilogy.  www.weepodcast.com

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. NEXT WEEK: Season 21's The Squirt and the Whale www.weepodcast.com

Deleted scenes & outtakes from Episode 41: Purgatorio, including discussions about Judge Constance Harm and the Season 1 classic There's No Disgrace Like Home. Also, Jack hates his fat legs and gradual transformation into Vincent D'Onofrio while Dan thinks Delroy Lindo made up his name.  www.weepodcast.com

This week Dan, Jack, and our intern (a talking mouse) watch Season 13's "Brawl in the Family," an episode reminiscent of both the heavenly classic and hellish post-classic eras. The Simpsons are broken apart, by Monopoly, by cougars, and by Vegas cocktail waitresses, all in one episode! Can Al Jean quantum leap and right what once went wrong with Homer and Flanders's Vegas wives? Was "Edna Krabappoly" a harbinger of The Simpsons collapsing in on itself? And how do you spend your time in an all boys high school? (Simpsons quizes!) All that, plus, our earliest memories, Groophic pushes his creationist agenda, and visions of a a world where Season 40 is a possibility.  NEXT WEEK: Season 22's The Scorpion's Tale www.weepodcast.com

Deleted scenes & outtakes from Episode 40: I've Seen Better Penises (A Simpsons Podcast) including all of the penises that didn't get cut (pun intended) as well as discussions about scenes from Midnight Towboy and its odd musical cues. Also, Jack's bedtime parabola, Meffrey Mulhall's bedside manner, and WEE introduce several new Groophic-derivative characters. www.weepodcast.com

Crack open a lobsterpolitan and settle in for Season 19's Midnight Towboy, not to be confused with Midnight Cowboy, which doesn't rhyme. Homer has been a plow truck driver, a regular truck driver, but a tow truck driver?! Where do they get their ideas?! Meanwhile, Jack & Dan celebrate their Fortyversary by having a mid-life crisis despite their lives being good enough while discussing extra beats, lingering jokes, and Maggie's IQ. How did Dan crash the stock market with his big soda? Is Groovic the Twophic that broke the Groophic's back? Will "Snap Into a Toe" take America's t-shirts by storm? All that plus Jack's Competitive Mighty Max podcast, WEE retcons itself... and Jeremy Piven. (Ohhh yeaaaah) NEXT WEEK: Season 13's Brawl in the Family www.weepodcast.com

Deleted scenes & outtakes from Episode 39: The Royal You, including several deleted conversations that didn't make the final cut. Jack & Dan talk about the Minecraft couch gag, the weird animation and jokes in the bedroom scene, name issues with Luca$ and Snake and the weird Coyote/Roadrunner gag, among many others. Also, Jack does his best Rossini impression while Dan reveals a story about an ex-girlfriend with an abrupt ending when-   www.weepodcast.com

The Simpsons do competitive eating!.... Kind of? We're broadcasting live from and in the fourth person from WEE's French-Canadian death camp studio to talk about Season 25's "Luca$," which doesn't have all that much to do with the character named Luca$, nor the Robert Wuhl series Arli$$. But it does have Zach Galifianakis! Will we be blindsided by incohesion and puns within puns? Do the writers throw in random jokes for shits & giggles, or just shits? Why will Jack start his own PlayStadium corporation? All that, plus, Jack's Groophic impression, an alternate universe with Dack and Jan, and spoiler alerts for Interstellar: Murph. NEXT WEEK: Season 19's Midnight Towboy www.weepodcast.com

​Deleted scenes & outtakes from Episode 38: Extra Beat Alarm including discussions about Sober Barney, Jim-Jam Bonks, and the Oktoberfest scene. Also, Jack & Dan quote half of 1989's Batman, because as our plastic surgeon always says "If you gotta go... go with a smile."

In this WEE episode with too many beats, Dan & Jack cover a Simpsons episode with too many beats—season 15’s Co-Dependent’s Day. This much-reviled storyline features Homer framing Marge for his DUI and an entire act devoted to Cosmic Wars. WEE were this close to naming this week’s episode “A Crappy Nail in a Shitty Piece of Wood,” so you know it’s going to be a good one. Is this Homer’s lowest point ever? Do Jack & Dan record every episode upside-down? Who starred in the short-lived revival Laugh Command ’89? All this plus Dan smokes too much hashtag, Jack sings as much of Rehab as he can legally afford, Business Disney Corner and no Leonardo DiCaprio whatsoever… for now. NEXT WEEK: Season 25's Luca$ www.weepodcast.com

Deleted scenes & outtakes from Episode 37: Tweaks & Twists, including discussions about the evolution of Simpsons voices and the over-explainy angry whisper. Also, Jack's 90's Movie Minute, cat mailmen, and is Dan actually Edward Snowden? www.weepodcast.com

The Simpsons go to Africa this week while Jack & Dan stay put in WEE Studios with returning special guest Nick Noga. Season 12’s Simpson Safari, one of our most requested episodes (even Mike Reiss hates it) has a bag-boy strike (they happen!) twist and tweak itself into monkey and diamond-related hijinks with many of Africa’s famous landmarks and tragic quagmires used for comic fodder. Will Nick point out WEE’s flawed ranking system and ever-increasing disconnect with actual Simpsons commentary? Does John Swartzwelder save the episode with a strong first act? Can Jack effectively capture the typical episode-summarizing blurb Dan usually writes for each new podcast, or will he succumb to his natural tendency to use too many clauses and run-on sentences until everyone has finally given up on whatever he was trying to say? All this, plus Amazon’s Cat Drones, the Laugh Command Lunch Box, Jack’s frozen bread and Blood Diamond’s very own Leonardo DiCaprio. NEXT WEEK: Season 15's Co-Dependent's Day www.weepodcas

Deleted Scenes & Outtakes from Episode 36: DiCaprioes including discussions about the couch gag, the Westminster Abbey scene, Homer's habit of forgetting Maggie and, of course, more DiCaprioes. 

Happy Father's Day to all our WEE Dads who may or may not have ever had sex. In their honor, WEE watch Season 20's Father Knows Worst, a story about helicopter dads, brokeback jugglers and weirdly intricate scene transitions. When Homer tries to become a better father it backfires, which describes a number of better episodes as well. How many different plot threads can they cram into a first act? Can the show get so cartoony in an otherwise realistic plot? And was Charles really in charge or was he just some weird drifter? Plus, amazing mazes, Oscar Wilde, and a special appearance (or several) by dad-bod enthusiast and Inception star, Leonardo DiCaprio (aka the Fifth Manson). NEXT WEEK: Season 12's Simpson Safari www.weepodcast.com

Deleted scenes & outtakes from Episode 35: WEE After Dark, including discussions about Willie, Hot Pepsi, Graystache and Halloween. Also, Bilk Buds Dan & Jack try and fail to write their own birthday song and rattle off possible titles for the Nelson Prequel while Dan Hedalek stops by with 17 new characters, including Hugh Stretch. www.weepodcast.com

It's Jack's birthday! It's Dan's birthday! It's Nelson Muntz's birthday! Yes, our birthdays are within two days of each other's, and to celebrate, we watch Season 18's The Haw-Hawed Couple, where Nelson has a birthday, nobody comes, and then he and Bart become best friends (and beat up Doctor Octopus). AND the origin of The Book Job's Angelica Button! What a jam-packed episode! Is this the best Homer plot we've seen on this show? Is this the best animated "Goodfellas" parody ever? And how come the Ullman Era voices sounded so much like the Rat Pack? Plus, the secret power source of WEE Studios, mixed up Draculas, and things you can do with a jacuzzi suit. We earn our explicit tag this week, listeners, so keep wee ears away from WEE this week. NEXT WEEK: Season 20's Father Knows Worst www.weepodcast.com

Deleted scenes & outtakes from episode 34: MacGayver, including discussions about Lenny & Carl, Marge's mom, and a Cornelius Vanderbilt update. Also, it's very hot in WEE Studios, and Jack & Dan talk about Billy Joel, Road Dogg and South Park: The Stick of Truth video game.
