Today we're talking about the classic Simpsons' episode from Season 4, Episode 14 and we've got our first ever RETURNING GUEST Clayton Margeson!! The 3 of us discuss why this is the best Simpsons episode we've reviewed so far: "I Love You, Pepsi", Krusty's terrible SNL appearance, and Tom, the perfect Big Brother, full of barely contained rage.

We also talk about why the "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" jokes don't land, Jesus as a hog-caller, and the history of 1900 numbers.
