Episode 31: Brush With Greatness and Other Dieting Tips
Listen now
Description
My good buddy Chris Prentice is back, to discuss "Brush with Greatness," which is a very funny episode about Marge painting Mr. Burns in the nude.  There's more to it than that, of course. Primarily a poignant subplot about Homer wanting to shed a few pounds after getting stuck in a water slide. Ringo Starr was the first Beatle to make an appearance on The Simpsons, as the object of teen Marge's affections, who comes in as a Deus Ex Machina to inspire her at the last minute to paint her heart out and make Mr. Burns "beautiful," even though he is a terrible man. Chris and I talk about all of that...and the realities of being self-consciously overweight, and also about annoying DVD menus. And stuff. Good times! Dig in.
