I heartily endorse this event or product.

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

I am one of your host, Bob Mackey, currently pouring one out for a lost Hibbert,

and who is here with me today, as always. Ready to apply for the writer's room for Stewie Season 2, Henry Gilbert. And yes, this is Talk to the Audience. It is our community podcast. It posts at the end of the month on Patreon, the beginning of the month on the free feed. And in this podcast, we talk about what's happening in the world of The Simpsons, what's happening with us.

And then we spend the rest of the month on the free feed. And in this podcast, we talk about what's happening in the world of The Simpsons, what's happening with us, and then we spend the rest of the podcast going over your questions and comments that you left on our Patreon. And yes, it is a slow news month, which means we're going to be talking about other shows, but they're kind of on the same network or involve the same people. So it's only fair. And we have to release something, right?

Yes. Yeah. I guess it's going to be this way going forward with talk to the audiences. The lull between seasons is going to be like half of the year now instead of a quarter of the year with these 15

episode orders per season. Yeah, I feel like if the first episode is going to be a Traus of Horror,

then it's more like between February and October, which is like eight months.

Wow, yes, yeah.

We're getting four months of Broadcast Simpsons per year.

I guess at some point in that lull, it sounds like there's still going to be a Disney Plus episode here and there.

But otherwise, yes, we're just going to have a lot of like Simpsons silence throughout the year.

It's a different era.

But we're going to still do our jobs, damn it.

And I guess this is related, the first news item in that there's probably going to be an exclusive Disney Plus Simpsons episode.

It is likely going to be a talented Mr. Ripley parody named Simpsley. That's the title of the

episode. And that's all we know. But there's a collection, there's a handful of production season

37 episodes that I've yet to air. They could be pushed to broadcast season 38. And one or possibly more could be a Disney Plus exclusive.

We don't know yet, but we will report on it when we know.

It's a really interesting strategy by the Fox TV channel or network for this year and going

forward that they just decided they wanted to have like instead of X number of episodes per

season they want to take seven episodes from like each regular order of Bob's Berger
