Talking Simpsons - They Saved Lisa's Brain With Podcast: The Ride
Added 2019-12-25 05:00:01 +0000 UTCThis week's episode is all about nerds coming together, so we called together the amazing nerds of Podcast: The Ride - Scott Gairdner, Mike Carlson, and Jason Sheridan! All three help us with chat about Mensa, pudding, the dangers of nerds AND random guest stars, among many other tangents. So listen now or else we'll make litter out of you literati!

If podcasts were comic books, this would be the ultimate DC-Marvel crossover. This. Is why I give you Patreon money.

2019-12-31 00:07:10 +0000 UTCThere’s a later episode where Stan Lee calls out Comic Book Guy for stalking Linda Carter, so yes he WOULD be #MeToo-d in the real world. Also good on you guys for calling out Devin Faraci, he’s still such a shit even as a “reformed buddhist reviewer”

2019-12-29 06:33:31 +0000 UTCI like how this podcast episode really lived up to its nerd theme, "nee nee nee!" That was cute. I remember in my gifted/enrichment classes, we did a lot of puzzles. There was a bit of trailing off and mumbling in the first part of the episode when you all were ragging on Shia LeBoeuf.

2019-12-27 04:10:13 +0000 UTCDog racing is basically over now as of this year, which is kinda cool honestly? I say kinda only because it should have been sooner. Similarly to Henry, Connecticut for whatever reason had a ton of dog racing tracks so when I saw it on the Simpsons I just figured it was super normal (albeit super scummy) good deadspin did a great article on it https://www.google.com/amp/s/deadspin.com/dog-racing-died-without-a-funeral-1837444498/amp

2019-12-27 03:37:00 +0000 UTCThis article sums up the whole Jamie Loftus/Mensa situation pretty well: https://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2018/10/mensa-update-one-of-them-threatened-to-kill-me-and.html. Basically she wrote an article making fun of Mensa after getting in, and then was harassed and threatened by an unmoderated Mensa sanctioned Facebook group for months. The whole story is fascinating and disturbing, I would definitely recommend taking a look. (Also, check out her podcast The Bechdel Cast if you get a chance)

2019-12-26 22:51:54 +0000 UTCYou do NOT want any part of Santa Con. Or New York Comic Con. Or any NYC con. Unless you want to experience new breeds of B.O. and other human filth.

2019-12-25 16:13:31 +0000 UTCAlways enjoyed the B-plot a little more than the A in this episode. It was always sorta cure that Homer wanted to pose for Marge, but she ultimately was more interested in how he decorated the basement for the pics, lol
