We welcome back fan-favorite guest Griffin Newman from the excellent podcast Blank Check for a classic country episode! We discuss Matt Groening's only solo writing credit on the series, how it ties into a biopic from 1980, the guest star power of Beverly D'Angelo, and so much more as Homer becomes imitates Colonel Parker in a more grounded way than Tom Hanks. So grab your moonshine, say Ya-Hoo, and listen along to this week's podcast!

Beverly D’Angelo, not Jeff Martin, wrote the first two songs for this episode. An amazing detail that I think is on the commentary track.

Funny that white man can't jump is being mentioned since it's the newest movie on the remake block...it's going to star "rapper" jack Harlow

This is one of those episodes that I can say is a very good episode of The Simpsons, but I don't really enjoy watching it. The "Homer and Marge are having real marital problems," episodes just don't play well for me, even though I think this is the best of those episodes where the conflict is real. The only thing I don't like is that scene of Marge parading the kids in front of Homer. That just feels too "Brooksy" to me, though I don't know if he had a hand in crafting that scene or not so I don't want to blame him. I much prefer an episode like "The Last Temptation of Homer" which doesn't feel like a marital problems episode because Marge isn't in on the conflict. It's all on Homer, it's a bit more absurd, and the humor undercuts the more painful conflict on the surface. Beverly D'Angelo is fantastic though and for some reason I always forget it's her that did the voice of Lurleen.

Bob is right on the money that theater audiences have gotten worse with a noticeable shift before/after Covid after so many have been pre-conditioned to movies being a 'home' experience and all that comes with that. More often than not I see a phone whipped out at full brightness whereas a few years ago an effort might have at least been made to hide it. One of the worst incidents I had recently was with a theatrical showing of Skinamarink which I would argue is a quieter movie than A Quiet Place where you really hear everything going on for long stretches. A mom brought in a gaggle of teenagers who were cracking jokes and getting out snapchat to record parts of the movie. After a certain point, a brave voice rang out "you need to shut those kids up or get them out of here" to uniting applause. The adult did in fact get the group out while cursing out the 'rudeness' of all of us shortly after. I know that theater chains don't pay their employees enough (as a former one) but I do desperately wish there were tighter rules along the lines of Alamo Drafthouse. I don't care how 'cringe' the theater ninja policies might seem; tickets ain't cheap and I yearn for cartoonishly big bouncer guys grabbing rude patrons by the jacket and giving them the heave ho

Fan favorite? Is t this the guy that never shuts up. He talks so much, Kevin Smith had to tell him to shut up so he could get a word in. I’ll listen til he starts rambling and acting like he knows more than Bob and Henry.

Great episode, great guest. This may be the ep I suggest to newbies to get into the show. Excellent work!

Neil Harris

It took me a lot of years to really appreciate this episode, at least in part because I was one of those snot nosed too cool for country music brats. It's become one of my top ten fav eps in recent years. Di Angelo is just amazing, her voice is incredible and perfect for Lurleen. Very sweet episode.

"Hey you let's fight." "THEMS FIGHTIN WORDS!" Is one of the most prominent Simpsons lines living rent free in my head. Like most sane people I can't stand the post 80s Nu-Country music style but I adore the songs in this episode and wish there were fully fleshed out fan covers.

during a pandemic rewatch of the series I was really struck by how good and fundamentally adult this episode is. 1992 and there isn't even a bart plot!

Disappointed there wasn't a Talking Simpsons sleepover 😔

Wow, on top of all of the other Beverly D’Angelo trivia this episode, I guess she must be enjoying those Simpsons ASCAP royalties the show’s writers so coveted.

Does anyone else hear the lyric "Your wife don't understand stand you, but I do" and think Lurleen is asking to be any man's homewrecker? I mean when you separate that song from Homer, what is that line supposed to mean? Maybe she's singing about an old flame?

I may or may not have complained about guests in the past but the last episode of Talk to the Audience really made me regret that, and I feel bad that (some) people are being negative about guests lately! All I really came here to say is that the sound of Marge’s grinding teeth kills me. I still listen to Go Simpsonic and Songs in the Key of Springfield on a regular basis, but I have to skip over “Bagged Me a Homer” simply because I know that cursed sound is coming.

Just a fantastic fucking episode of the podcast this week, gentleman. I also absolutely did not know much about Beverly D'Angelo's life so hearing that she wrote 2 of the the songs in this episode blew my mind. As much fame as the Vacation movies must've brought her, that really buries the lede on how talented she is

I love the Hee Haw parody. I'm old enough to remember life without cable and Hee Haw was back ground noise to my early childhood. It wasn't just my house but anyone we visited. I have weird nostalgia for it now. I often show it to the kids and say, this is the crap we had to watch! As always, you did a great job breaking down the episode

Until I saw Elvis, I had no Idea that colonel homer was a parody of Elvis's manager. And I love this episode.

Stephen C. Nedell

I can say that the title of Colonel isn't necessarily stolen valor but also an honorific bestowed by the Commonwealth of Kentucky up until the early 1980s. My father was one of the last recipients when we lived down there. The reason? A business client of his offered it too him as a thank you. So much for the sanctity of "Southern Honor", huh? Back then, Hee Haw was indeed regular Sunday viewing in my house and our next door neighbor, a KFC exec, was good friends with Hee Haw staple Grady Nutt who would even drop by our neighborhood on occasion. I too was taken in by the cartoon mule only to suffer immediate disappointment when the boring music stuff came on screen. When this episode first aired I was at the height of music snobbery and thought anything that wasn't 70s punk, 80s new wave or 90s alternative was garbage and considered country music to be the lowest form of communication. However in my old age I've come to appreciate classic country and blue grass music and will even find old Hee Haw videos on YouTube to watch *un*ironically. Final bit of trivia since you mentioned Conway Twitty, apparently his music was banned in my house growing up. Not because of his music but as I learned in the last couple of years he apparently hit on my mom back in front of my dad back in the late 60s or early 70s at some club. Needless to say I was pretty impressed and almost proud like how Petet Griffin felt when he learned Lois had slept with KISS. Thank you again for another fine analysis of great Simpsons.
