I heartily endorse this event or product.

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

I'm one of your host host the guy who thinks 37

seasons isn't nearly enough bob macky and who is here with me today joining me as a special guest in the room here

it's me nina mystery men matsumoto that's right we're calling her that from now on and yes this is talk to

the audience welcome this is our community podcast it launches at the end of the month on patreon at the beginning of the month on the free feed. And on this podcast, we talk about Simpson's news. We talk about what's happening in our neck of the woods. And we answer your questions and comments from the last month's worth of episodes. And one key member is missing. You might notice, Henry Gilbert, he is on assignment this month. And by that I mean, he's on his second Japan vacation this year, though actually he is in Los Angeles again right now as we record this. Yeah, Henry goes to Japan more often than my parents now, and they're from there. Yes, we're calling Henry out, and I know he's listening in Japan. Henry, you put the podcast down, you go back to eating ramen or whatever, and you wait until you get back. He goes to L.A. so often, I'm beginning to suspect he's embroiled in some kind of, I don't know, mafia trouble. Or he has a second podcast network that we don't know about. He's infiltrating Forever Dog, perhaps. I think Earwolf is dead. Headgum. Did he kill Earwolf? No, we're still looking for the culprit on that one. Okay. I think it was equity. But he might be part of whatever podcast mafia he's part of down there. And on this podcast, we're actually going to hear a bit from Henry about his last LA vacation. And you might be wondering, how does a podcaster afford to take all these vacations? I say follow the money. Who is funding this lavish lifestyle?

I need to know. Wait, I think it's our listeners. Oh, oh, well. This is what my Patreon dollars pay for. Does this mean we can also go on all these trips if we want? Well, here's the thing, folks. We're actually going to Japan about a month ourselves. True, but it won't be our second time in a year. No, but it's for research.

And we have not been to L.A. in a while.

I have not been to L. be our second time in a year. No, but it's for research.

And we have not been to L.A. in a while. I have not been to L.A. since I went last year and got COVID and you were there. Yes, I remember. So it's only been a scant 16 months. Well, we have a condo to pay for. That's true. We have to pay off this property that your Patreon dollars paid for. And of course we we appreciate it. So yes, Nina is here.

Henry on assignment.

And Henry will be back in a while, but we've recorded podcasts well in advance.

I think we have finished all of our November recordings as of this talk to the audience recording except for a few movie podcasts.

So don't worry, there will not be a gap in the programming schedule.

So there's actually not a lot of Simpsons news this month because we're in that weird gap between

Comic-Con and the launch of the new season.

And of course, this is being recorded on September 19th.

And the season premiere is right around the corner, so we have not seen it yet.

But I have a little bit more information about the season premiere of broadcast season 37. The title, which we didn't have last time, is called Thrifty

Ways to Thieve Your Mother, which is a parody of the 1975 Paul Simon's song, 50 Ways to Leave

Your Lover. Topical. I'm guessing that is the work of Alfred Jean. Probably. Very, very sweaty

title, as it's a style now. I'm guessing it's a Marge episode. Yes. We covered the plot elements last time, but I think it's about Lisa kind of pilfering Marge's 90s clothing and becoming like a fashion icon, something like that. But it's on all the wikis. It's on last month's talk to the audience. So Marge was a 90s girl now.
