Content

For this ep of early '90s wealth, we're joined by Chris Wade from the awesome podcasts Chapo Trap House, And Introducing..., and Hell of Presidents! After we discuss the greatness of Danny DeVito, we chat about Homer's discovery of a missing brother who happens to be a rich car manufacturer. Somehow all this leads to Homer ruining Uncie Herb's life, though we have some opinions on that. Listen now for something as strong as a gorilla, yet as soft and yielding as a Nerf ball!

Love this episode but, despite being a devout Simpsons watcher in the UK for many years, never actually saw it until it was released as a stand-alone promotional VHS in 1999(!) I have no idea how that happened unless for some reason the episode was never delivered to air or something. Does anyone else have any info on this? ^_^ For so many years, I thought the flashbacks in the sequel "baby monitor" episode were original animation. I was shocked to discover they came from a previously-unseen Herb episode! Also, I have a weird recollection that the episode was edited differently, with the scene of Herb in the boardroom being before Homer's call to him, but I could be mistaken (anyone got a working VCR so I can check? :P) Keep up the awesome work.

Managed to find the VHS opening, featuring credits and commercials including a Futurama promo, Virtual Springfield and more! https://youtu.be/o65C7qSLUYU

Another version. This one shows an extra moment of title text after the opening credits. Weird. https://youtu.be/8SfY2UG5QNA

Admittedly the chronology is always a mess and doesn’t actually matter, but I do need to nitpick with Chris a little - Skinner is an elementary school principal, so it can be assumed that he’s referring to the kid graduating from HIS school, not high school. It’s not entirely clear how many grades Springfield Elementary has - if it’s K-4 or K-5, that would work with the joke. (In Who Shot Mr. Burns, it’s implied that the elementary school is K-8 since it feeds right into the high school, which ruins the joke again, but by that point time was already totally elastic.) This has been Pedantry Corner!

As a child, I was led to believe by this episode that asking if someone's kid was born in wedlock was a perfectly common and normal question—mostly due to Homer's casual, ready response I think. Thankfully, I don't think I ever actually asked anyone this, probably because it still felt like a "grownup" question. I also really loved the Detroit setting. Growing up in Michigan, most people in my family worked in the auto industry, but like in the factories, making the cars. Herb felt like getting a real peek at how the "other hafl" (i.e., my grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins' bosses) lived. So basically I was a stupid child who believed that every part of this episode was true. I always enjoy every episode of TS, but I really enjoyed this one a little extra. Solid episode of The Simpsons, solid guest, lots of nostalgia, lots of cool history—all of the things I love about you guys crammed into one.

Something I noticed is right before the car is unveiled during the preview commercial there’s a voice singing in the background “Whatever Homer wants, Homer gets…” This is actually a reference to the song “Whatever Lola Wants” from the 1955 musical “Damn Yankees!” Where a baseball player sells his soul to the devil to become a star player. With Lola being the devils secretary he sends in to tempt said baseball player.

I see four of our free episodes on YouTube, and we're cool if 10k new people get exposed to our podcast.

Many people also actually made money on cheap real estate in Florida during the 90’s. Not everything was a person falling for something.

Abe's line "she did things your mother never would, like have sex for money" is one of my all-time favourite lines from the show. So blunt and and stupid, it gets me every damn time. I don't think I had noticed before that baby Herb had the Homer beard line when given back to Abe at the carnival, but I'm very glad it was pointed out because I love that image. I definitely agree with the consensus that it's weird and almost too outlandish that Herb could actually made destitute by his business failing from this one bold move, given that (to quote Catwoman) "the rich don't even go broke like the rest of us." Awesome episode, guys

You can buy a pretty nice car for $80k.

Small joke i noticed is that at the beginning herb is telling his board that they don't want to name a car after persephone. But what do they end up doing? Naming the car after a dead Greek author and poet

When this episode first aired I had just started driving and was addicted to the local Kwik E Mart's version of the Super Big Gulp and its 64 beautiful ounces of Mountain Dew. I learned what it felt like when doves cry when I heard Homer's lament over not having a big enough cup holder for *my* drink.
