Episode 405 of Friends Talking Nerdy is a multi-layered celebration of television, podcast history, and modern pop culture commentary. In this episode, Professor Aubrey and Tim the Nerd dive deep into a vibrant discussion that spans classic animated comedy, nostalgic podcast moments, and the cutting-edge world of professional wrestling. Here's a detailed breakdown of the episode's segments and highlights: A Deep Dive into The Simpsons LegacyFavorite Episodes Explored:Professor Aubrey and Tim kick off the episode by reminiscing about some of the most memorable installments of The Simpsons. They revisit iconic episodes such as:"I Love Lisa" and its heartfelt look at family and affection."Marge Verses The Monorail" with its signature humor and zany town antics."A Fish Called Selma" and the satirical take on celebrity culture."Homer Goes To College" which humorously critiques higher education."Cape Feare" for its blend of suspense and humor."Homer Loves Flanders" as a quirky exploration of neighborly relationships."A Star Is Burns" where clever parodies of media events are on display."Homer At The Bat" with its all-star assembly of sports legends and absurdity."22 Short Films About Springfield" for its unique narrative format.The timeless Treehouse of Horror specials, which consistently push creative boundaries with their spooky, satirical twist on classic horror tropes. A Nostalgic Journey Back to the Podcast ArchivesTim the Nerd takes a reflective trip down memory lane by revisiting a beloved clip from Episode 46, part 7 of the Friends Talking Nerdy Greatest Movie Ever Championship Tournament. This segment serves both as a nostalgic callback and a source of insightful commentary:Behind the Scenes Memories: Tim shares intimate behind-the-scenes stories about the making of that episode, offering fans a rare glimpse into the creative process and the evolution of the podcast's style.Key Lessons and Growth: He reflects on the lessons learned from those early days—lessons that have shaped how he approaches content creation and storytelling in the current iteration of the podcast. Tim's reflections highlight how formative experiences can foster creativity and set the stage for future successes. A Critical Take on Extreme Wrestling MomentsShifting gears from television and podcast retrospectives, Tim the Nerd addresses a recent hot topic from the world of professional wrestling. He critiques a controversial segment from AEW Dynamite, where Cope suplexed Jon Moxley onto a spiked board, which shockingly ended with the board getting stuck in Moxley's back.Critique of Extremism in Wrestling: Tim argues that such extreme moments, while they may appeal to a niche audience, are not a sustainable strategy for drawing in casual viewers. He discusses how pushing the envelope too far can alienate parts of the wrestling fanbase, especially those who prefer storytelling and character-driven narratives over shock value.Impact on Audience Perception: The segment leads to a broader discussion on how media and entertainment should balance spectacle with substance. Tim's insights are particularly pointed, suggesting that while extreme acts have their place, relying on them might marginalize potential new fans who are looking for more relatable or thoughtfully crafted content.As always, we wish to thank Christopher Lazarek for his wonderful theme song.

Tom and Josh discuss the greatest episode about baseball (or more accurately, softball) ever created: The Simpsons' "Homer at the Bat." We fanboy out about the Simpsons, before getting into the episode, the premise to get so many athlete cameos into a single game, the stars featured, the stars not featured because they were long dead, we engage in a fierce debate about British history, and fanboy out about the Simpsons a bit more.
Deze week buigen we ons over ‘Homer at the bat'! Een aflevering bomvol baseballsterren, Homer die op zijn eigen manier een held mag zijn en een historische discussie over Pitt The Elder en Lord Palmerston. Wie houdt er nu niet van deze aflevering? Wel, Julian eigenlijk, die niet wild enthousiast is, maar Mathieu en Bert halen in deze 'The Thompsons' alles uit de kast om hem van het tegendeel te overtuigen. En van het feit dat hij eindelijk die sideburns moet afscheren, dat ook natuurlijk.
The Yankees do 2 things more than anybody else, win World Series and retire numbers. They're going to do one for sure next year. Scott Hatteberg hit a big walk off home run in 2002 to extend the A's record winning streak, so why did he get fined for it? Last week was the 30th anniversary of maybe the greatest baseball themed episode in television history. We look back at the crazy game between Springfield and Shellbyville and some of the greatest MLB cameo's ever. Plus we find out who turned down the opportunity at immortality. In Wax Pack Heroes we take on a couple of packs of 1988 Fleer.

We're talkin' podcast / James and Nick watch the Simpsons / We're talkin' podcast / A show on television / Bart the Lover's expansion of the lore / Steve Sax, and his run in with the law.... etc etc. Hello! This week we've got two absolute belters to discuss - Bart the Lover, the stealth highlight of the season so far, and Homer at the Bat, in which there's an outside chance of seven misfortunes, but nine misfortunes are unlikely (it's the softball ep that everyone loves). Your two podfriends discuss the yo-yo crazes of their youth, come up with some new Tinder banter, and consider the possibility that Colossus is in league with Shellbyville. We even sing! Something for everyone.Twitter: @KeySpringfieldFB: facebook.com/podsinthekeyofspringfieldInsta: podsinthekeyofspringfieldEmail: podsinthekeyofspringfield@gmail.com
"Homer At The Bat" aired 25 whole years ago. "Springfield Of Dreams" aired a whole two (2) days ago. "Springfield Of Dreams: The Podcast" is airing right now, the second you press play on your mobile device. "But Coley, I listen to podcasts on my laptop. Why do you have to assume I'm streaming this on my iPhone or Adroid?" Well, loyal listener. Perhaps you're the type of person who doesn't listen to podcasts in the traditional sense. Maybe you are a laptop consumer, or some sort of other weirdo or vagabond who refuses to adhere to the rules of modern society. To you I say, "A laptop is very much a mobile device. You can take that sucker anywhere your heart desires. Remember what the original computers looked like? How they'd take up several rooms just to be able to print those sheets of paper that you had to tear the perforated sides off of yourself like some sort of common poor? And people at the time only thought computers were going to get BIGGER over time? Unfathomable how dumb people were years ago. Truly incomprehensible."
The Wrassle Nerds return to go back in time a week with MrMostDaysOff & the WizKid to discuss the very highly rated "Homer at the Bat". Homer's company softball team gets replaced with ringers so Mr. Burns can win a 1 million dollar bet, but in traditional Simpson's style not everything goes as planned This episode is packed full of MLB guest stars, such as Ken Griffy Jr and Roger Clemens. It also delivers tons of great jokes and another classic Simpsons song that we absolutely butcher!

Dando and Mitch review 'Homer At The Bat', one of the greatest Simpsons episodes of all time. After the Springfield Power Plant softball team make the Championship game, Mr Burns invests in nine Major League players to ensure victory.
SHAVE THOSE SIDEBURNS, MATTINGLY! IT'S TIME FOR A PODCAST! This week we're talkin' softball with "Homer At The Bat" and the hilarious George Watsky (@gwatsky). We discuss an all-podcaster softball league, The Brooklyn Tip-Tops, and telling time via Simpsons reruns. We tried to give 110% this week BUT THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE. NO PODCAST CAN GIVE MORE THAN ONE HUNDRED PERCENT. BY DEFINITION THAT IS THE MOST A PODCAST CAN GIVE!
Hello Nation! This podcast is late, that is to say it's later than we'd like. Also Matt's audio sounds like he was recording in a snowstorm- rest assured, it's like 50 degrees here. Apologies for both, Podcast Krampus strikes again! In this episode we review/geek out over the Season 3 Simpsons episode "Homer At The Bat". We cover the episode's history, the player guest stars, and why Jose Canseco is THE WORST. We also talk about our Super Beef, The Confounding Rockies, Air Bud Junkballs, and What's Worse Than Jose Canseco. Also baseball. @thatBBshow on Twitter and That Baseball Show on FB- Grampy Bowman approves!
The Guest House is overflowing this week as we talk about one of the greatest episodes of all time! Dr. Ife Abiola joins us as we talk about Bart the Lover and Homer at the Bat. We talk about Mrs. Krabappel's home life, what a world without Zinc is like, and heap praise on the pro baseball players who make a big impact on the series (except Jose Canseco, he's a jerk).
