I heartily endorse this event or product.

Ahoy, hoy, everybody, and welcome to talk to the audience where this is always death.

I am one of your host, Canada's number one, Ella McKay Challenge record holder, Bob Mackie, and who is here with me today, as always. I also want to move to Palm Springfield, Henry Gilbert. And yes, this is Talk to the Audience. It's our community podcast. It launches at the end of the month on Patreon, the beginning of the month on the free feed.

And in this podcast, we talk about Simpsons News, what's happening in our world. And then we also

talk about your questions and comments that were left on the last round of episodes on

the Patreon at patreon.com slash Talking Simpsons. So we're closing out the year this month.

There are a few news items, but notably there were a lot of new episodes, four, to be exact, that we need to speak about today.

Yeah, just weekly ones and not even a Christmas episode.

This wasn't like last year where they had a Christmas two-parter that had to become a Disney Plus original because of Fox scheduling stuff.

Like no Christmas episode this year. Maybe that's an Al Jean thing that's now over. had to become a Disney Plus original because of Fox scheduling stuff.

Like no Christmas episode this year. Maybe that's an Al Jean thing that's now over. I don't know. Yeah, he seemed to really like going back to the Christmas specials. And if you didn't see that Christmas one last year, it's very well hidden on Disney Plus. So it could be a new episode for you this year. Actually, I don't know how to find it now. Carolyn O'Meigh was doing a watch-through and the first tweet or the first post about it was

instructions on how to actually reach that episode. I think it's in like season negative. Like you have to do the season drop-down menu on Disney Plus and then go above season one to exclusives. That's how I remember getting it last year.

It could have changed.

Disney Plus is doing a lot of things.

Maybe you have to talk with ChatGTP now to get Disney to do it with their official partner.

Yeah, I don't know why they are hiding this, but think of it as a fun game that you're playing.

I did watch The Family Guy has an original, which is just like like it's the Christmas episode they did this year. It was fine. It was fine. Not that great. Normally I actually am more complimentary of family guy, but it was basically family guy doing a hallmark Christmas movie recasting the characters and stuff, but it was a lot of lame jokes, honestly.

I'm a little tired of that premise. I think we need to move on. I think so, too. Well, also now everybody does the Hallmark movies. Like, I only know about Netflix's version of the Hallmark

Christmas movies because I watched the Tricks and Caughty videos about them watching like a dozen of them.

And the only key difference I can see in the Netflix ones is that they discovered the gay people watch them. So they always put like one or two token gays in their Christmas specials, which you would never see in a Hallmark one. And that's why Candice Cameron fled that network. It's right. She would never take that deal. It would be in front to her religion. We need to respect him now more than ever.

Absolutely. So let's talk about these new episodes. I normally, these are hit or miss with me, but I mostly enjoyed all of these this month. The first one was the Day of the Jackup.

So in this episode, Mr. Burns built his own version of the Las Vegas sphere, known in the episode
