This log is your log! Lisa joins an environmentalist group and moves into a giant tree to stop it being logged. Mild amusement ensues. Rob and Andy recorded this hours before they were due to be hit by a killer cyclone bearing down on them like a shotgun full of... rain. [Synopis at 6:40]
On this episode of NMD, Rob and Andy branch out and tackle Season 27, Episode 9 "Barthood". This epsiode presented very different themes for Rob, Andy, and many of our listeners, but overall a great representation of a present-era Simpsons episode. Enjoy!
Homer becomes the Mayor of New Springfield driving away the residents despite ample parking and daily Who concerts. Come for one of the best deleted scenes of all time and Rob's tone-deaf remarks about 9/11. [Synopsis at 9:50] NEXT UP: S27E09 Barthood
IT'S UPLATE WITH ROB AND ANDY!!! On this episode, we have a classic 3-part Treehouse of Horror episode! We first get Homer's death as predicated by his horoscope, next is the 'Grimm' tales where Bart and Lisa are held captive by a witch, and finally the Dolphins (as led by Snorky) taking back control of the land. As always, we love recording for ToH episodes, and hope you enjoy it too!
It's the final countdown! In the last ep of season 11 the Simpsons breaks the mould with a behind the scenes documentary ala "Behind the Music" revealing how the family got famous, feuded and had misunderstandings about cops being prostitutes. Rob and Andy discuss new years resolutions, what the final season of the podcast will hold and how Rob completely innocently maced his genitals. Happy new year! [Synopsis at 19:00]

The guys talk sovereign citizens and give their election predictions. [Synopsis at 20:00]
SORRY FOR THE LATE UPLOAD!!! (Ohhh I'm a livin' joke) Andy here. Sorry loyal NMD listeners, it's been quite a week and life has gotten in the way. Nevertheless, the episode is here!! On this week's episode, Bart finds a way into an Indian casino and is shown a rather unflattering vision of his future. Bart is a broke, untalented musician mooching off anyone and everyone, where as Lisa is the President of the USA. We also have a delightful B plot of Homer searching for Lincoln's gold.

Burns goes off to the Mayo clinic to discover that he is "indestructable" leaving the Simpsons to housesit. Predictably, Homer takes Burns's boat out to international waters for a booze cruise / monkey knife fight.

[Synopsis at 25:40] Next ep will be on 18 August 2024.

It's that time of the year for another UP LATE! with Rob & Andy!!! Recording live from the fabulous Sunshine Coast during a boys weekend away, Rob and Andy breakdown Treehouse of Horror 10. This episode follows the usual 3-part format of THOH episodes with Flanders as a wearwold, Stretch Dude and Clobber Girl, and the Destruction of Humanity. A wonderful THOH episode, which lives up to the usual reputation of bringing quality storylines with good laughs. Enjoy!
Not the Jay Sherman episode (as we falsely advertised last week) but the ep where Homer becomes a food critic and ends up being nearly murdered by Springfield's criticised restaurateurs. Bonkers premise but lots of laughs. [Synopsis at 7:50]
On this week's episode, Bart is causing chaos which almost results in his expulsion from school. He is given an experimental drug named Focusyn in an attempt to curb his rambunctious behaviour, which initially works, however quickly sends his down a path of paranoia and erratic behaviour.

Homer goes to a test screening of Mel Gibson's latest movie, provides non-constructive criticism and for some reason Mel and Homer form an unlikely friendship and ruin the movie. Rob gives some Mad Max tid bits relevant to this episode. Also happy Australia Day! [synopsis at 11:40]
