No Money Down Podcast (Simpsons Trivia)

Springfield swoons for a new adventourous billionare Arthur Fortune. So naturally Mr Burns helicopters(!?) to Scotland to find and bring back the Loch Ness monster. He succeeds and then gets Nessie a job at a casino. Boy when you write it out this plot is pretty bonkers. But strangely a good episode. [Synopsis at 12:52]

On this week's episode, we discuss S10E20 - The Old Man and the 'C' Student. After destroying Springfield's hopes of hosting the Olympic Games, Bart is assigned community service at the Springfield Retirement Castle. He busts the old folks out and takes them on a sea voyage which ends in disaster, however he gets to spend some quality time with Grampa. A decent episode, very much at home in Season...

Homer's failed attempt to construct a BBQ is mistaken for "outsider art" and Homer lives out Marge's dream of becoming an artist. After art fans become bored with his work he wins them back by flooding the town to create a conceptual art piece called the grand canals of Sprinfield - which the townspeople are inexplicably cool with. Rob and Andy talk how to rate art and various guff. [Synopsis at 1...

Homer buys a Canyonero not realising its a ladies model and promptly offloads it to Marge who develops a road rage habit and has to attend traffic school and ultimately has her licence taken away until she ultimately saves the family from some rampaging escaped zoo animals. Rob and Andy confess to police run ins on the road. [Synopsis at 9:00]

In this fortnight's episode, Apu attempts to make up for decieving Majnula with his working hours by showering her with Valentine's Day gifts. This, in turn, makes all the other men in Springfield look bad so they attempt to sabotage Apu's efforts. Rob talks about how Valentine's Day "grinds his gears", and we discuss the recent success of the Australian Women's football team. Enjoy!!

After a character in a TV show who has Homer's name is retooled to be a buffoon and Homer is ridiculed he changes his name to Max Power.

The guys discuss characters that have been changed as the show goes on and the story behind why Rob can't reveal his identity on air. [Synopsis...

On this fortnight's episode, Homer is unknowingly and innocently swindled into four (4) new tyres and fake Superbowl tickets. Meanwhile, Marge and Lisa are assembling Vicent Price's "Egg Magic" and speak to him from BEYONG THE GRAAAAVE to organise deliver of the missing feet. Rob and Andy were pretty devided in terms of our ratings for this one, so tune in to see what you think! Enjoy!!

On this episode, Andy is back with his pal Rob to bring you Wild Bart's Can't be Broken. After Homer and his friends trash the school, the kids of Springfield are blamed. As such, a curfew is enforced. To get bakc at the adults, the kids start a radio broadcast to reveal all of the adults secrets. A great season 10 episode which had some great laughs and memorable moments. Enjoy!!

Flanders worries that he hasn't lived a day in his life so enlists Homer to show him how to have a good time. They go to Vegas, marry cocktail waitresses and the rest is a classically hilarious Simpsons ep. On the podcast, Nathan (aka Poochie) fills in for Andy this week following a pay dispute proving we don't need him at all any more. Nah we're sending our love to Chloe who's not well. xoxo. [Sy...

It's the BI-MON-SCI-FI-CON! A contrived riot of nerds threatens the Mayor (who is there for some reason) until Homer steps in to become his bodyguard. Homer forces Quimby to end the mafia's rat-milking operation. Hilarity ensues. (Presumably at the plant a chicken/brick fills in for Homer) [Synopsis at 11:15]

In this episode, Homer's lack of care causes Grampa's kidney to explode. Instead of giving him (an already promised) kidney, Homer skips town and tries to run away. After being crushed by a car, Dr. Hibbert helps himself to one of Homer's kidney's which saves Grampa's life, much to Homer's disappointment. A solid B episode in our opinion, and a preemptive apology for the rabbit hole's we go down o...

On this week's episode, Andy shares a prank on his wife, Rob talk about deterring his kids from drugs, and we dive deep into Season 10 Episode 6 - D'oh-in In The Wind'. This episode didn't get a lot of love from us, but it still had some great parts. Fair to say this won't be anyone's favourite of all time, and was rated largely consistently throughout our listeners. We had a great time putting th...

Homer parasails his way through Alec Balwin and Kim Basinger's skylight and (seemingly instantly) into their hearts becoming a sort of assistant to them and their (seeming) best friend Ron Howard. Homer betrays them by giving away their location to the townspeople. Rob and Andy had contrasting fortnights with Rob welcoming his 2nd child (Georgia) and Andy's car getting totalled and getting into a...

On this week's episode, Rob and Andy talk about new fatherhood, neighbourly disputes, and after a while talk a little about the SImpsons. But seriously, this is another example of a very solid Season 10 episode, which honestly just keeps suprising us! A great emotional story between Bart and Marge with some great humour thrown in too. What's not to love!!

Homer becomes obsessed with Thomas Edison and tries to become an inventor. Predictably his inventions are awful and no one in their right mind would buy them... or accept them as gifts. [Synopsis at 9:47]

We're back to regular scheduled programming this week and it's time to kick-start Season 10! What an episode this is. A fantastic A and B plot with plenty of iconic moments and character development. Remember to save that retirement grease, and strap in for some Season 10 fun. Enjoy!!

Stay up late, pur yourself an eggcup of whiskey and join Rob and Andy for trivia on THOH9. 1. Hell Toupe - Homer gets possessed by Snake's transplanted hair 2. Terror of Tiny Toon - Bart and Lisa get sucked into an Itchy and Scratchy cartoon. 3. Starship Poopers - It is revealed that Kang is Maggie's father and the family turns to Jerry SPringer to solve their problems. [Synopsis at 9:15]

On this week's episode, Rob talks about his dreams and a good alternative to pasta, and Andy outsources his podcast responsibilities to ChatGPT. But essentially, Marge and Homer's love life is lacking in spice, so they turn to sexy new alternatives to bring the spark back. The episode gets a B from us, and is a nice one to wrap up Season 9 with. Enjoy guys!

Come for the trivia on the heartwarming story of Homer breaking Lisa into a museum just to see the ISIS exhibit (I guess she just thinks they're neat). Stay for the initial banter about Andy's flesh eating virus and Chat GPT (the AI program that will soon be our master). [Synopsis at 13:35]

We come to you this week from....THE POOL!! Rob and Andy record for S09E23 - King of the Hill from Rob's pool in one of our more brilliant ideas! Anyway, this week's episode sees Homer overcome the shame of his deteriorating health by getting fit, on the (power) sauce, and climbing the "Murderhorn". A wonderful example of a Season 9 episode, and we loved recording for this one. Enjoy guys!

Merry Xmas and welcome to a special pub trivia edition where the questions are general knowledge questions (but Simpsons knowledge will give you a good hint). But first the guys air their Festivus grievances incl Mariah Carey, Die Hard and don't-make-me-tap-the-sign bureaucrats. [Trivia at 19:20]
