Summary
"I can't live the button-down life like you. I want it all: the terrifying lows, the dizzying highs, the creamy middles. Sure, I might offend a few of the bluenoses with my cocky stride and musky odors—oh, I'll never be the darling of the so-called 'City Fathers' who cluck their tongues, stroke their beards, and talk about 'What's to be done with this Homer Simpson?'" - Homer J. Simpson
Lisa becomes the victim of her own insecurities when she meets Allison Taylor: a perfectly nice girl who just happens to be younger and better than her at everything. As she struggles to accept being number two, Homer gains control of a sugar pile empire that could very well be stolen from under his nose by roving, tea-drinking Englishmen.
Our guest: Actor and improv comedian Betsy Sodaro, co-host of the podcasts A Funny Feeling and We Love Trash
