Summary
"I'm currently incarcerated... Convicted of a crime I didn't even commit! Huh! 'Attempted murder;' now, honestly, what is that? Do they give a Nobel Prize for 'attempted chemistry?' Do they?" - Bob Underdunk Terwilliger
Sideshow Bob returns and dabbles in the world of Springfield politics in ways that may remind you of Watergate and the 1988 US presidential election. But when he uses his new mayoral powers against the Simpsons, Bart and Lisa have to team up or else risk living in a motel that probably costs more than six dollars a night.
Our guest: Chris Wade, producer of the Chapo Trap House podcast
