Talking Simpsons - Treehouse Of Horror VII With Louis Peitzman

I put a tooth in a baby food jar filled with coke, based on this episode, and I will say it was pretty dissolved after a while (though, I have no idea how long that was.)

Great hearing Louis on the show, hope he appears again in the future! -- For the brief bit of time in the episode before we see Hugo, and only hear his chains and moaning, he reminds me of Lisa Trevor from the Resident Evil remake - it's actually pretty genuinely creepy. I love the gag at the end of putting Bart up in the attic/ vents, and an early episode makes that area seem plausible since there was a gag with Bart going into the crawl space and Marge trying to get him out with a broom.

I used to work with a guy named Bill Watson and couldn't resist making the reference. He said he'd heard it all his life and was not amused.

Yep me too. I still heard it in this listening before they said it

I think the waffle iron is in the shop because of Homer making his space age moon waffles. If you watch the "Binging with Babish" episode where he makes the delicacy, he ends up doing the smart thing and throwing the iron out after being unable to remove the burnt on caramel.

Also, Pho itself is extremely salty. I literally just got back from eating a bowl at my fav local spot!

Bob Dole even did a commercial for Pepsi! He's parodying his Viagra commercial: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzvOBKjiQPU" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzvOBKjiQPU</a> it's cute. He was actually a pretty decent commercial actor back in the day. I love the scene where the real Bob and Bill float away into space, naked.

I blame the Kang Bros.

SAME.

You are not the only one!

Of course Kodos didn't win. America isn't ready for a female alien overlord.

The Genesis Tub and The Little People share many similarities with a 1941 short story titled 'Microscopic God'. In which a scientist creates artificial life inside his laboratory which eventually develops into an advanced civilization capable of generating an impenetrable forcefield to cut itself off from humanity. I read the story in an old science fiction compilation over 20 years ago but at the time it immediately reminded me of this episode.

It's more likely that you have a mild food allergy to something like fish sauce or another ingredient you don't run into all that much, or just need to eat less salt.

RadioShacks basically still exist in Canada completely unchanged from the late 90's early 2000's. The Canadian stores which are now called The Source from the rebranding when Circuit City bought RadioShack got bought by Bell and they survive by upselling cable, internet and cell plans when you buy a TV, laptop etc. They still have the RC car section that just now includes drones, and the massive wall of overpriced cables and they still always have what you need no matter how obscure a cable it is if you're willing to pay through the nose for it.

I grew up eating Chinese food, but one day while having Pho, I started to have breathing issues. Ever since then, I've had various reactions to foods with MSG as an ingredient. The debunking of MSG as a dietary hazard makes perfect sense to me (not to mention its racist roots with Chinese restaurant syndrome). So, maybe it's psychosomatic? I really never even thought about MSG (except for a reference in the movie Surf Ninjas) before the Pho incident. I don't like being on the outside of scientific consensus, but I do feel so much better when I abstain/limit MSG consumption.

Wow, I always thought Hank Azaria was saying "Clock Building", SOMEONE TELL ME I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. My life is a lie. "Clark Building" is much funnier though.

Yes, the beginning of my favorite season of the series, ever!
