Summary

One of the all-time great Marge episodes that sees her take a chance on herself and join the Springfield police force. A great look at the roadblocks many women face in the workplace, as well as the perception of women with positions of authority.

We also discuss the "car hole" vs "car hold" debate, how Herman managed to conduct illegal activities in the Simpsons' garage, what happened to Snake's brother and more.
