The Simpsons - since its first episode way back in 1989, it's entertained millions, maybe even billions around the world. It's more than just a show, it's almost a way of life. Hardcore fans, like hosts Nick Konarowski and Shane Lynch, know all the episodes, lines and characters. But is it really as good as we remember it? Or is the powerful drug of nostalgia washing over us, making it seem better than it was? Nick and Shane aim to find out, by going back to the beginning. They start with a rating based on memories and following a real-time watch-through, they discuss if it was better or worse than they recall. Plus, they talk about a bunch of other stuff in life @simpsons_EBE New Episodes Every FRIDAY! Donate> https://www.buymeacoffee.com/simpsonsEBE

For a couple Canadian boys, this hockey-themed episode was everything.
The story is fantastic and Homer steals the show with multiple classic moments.
Also, did the ending penalty shot inaccuracy bug you???

For the first time in Season 6, one of the guys gives a rating of under 8 for a non-clipshow. Thoughts?
Also, this episode is stolen by a character who isn't involved in the plot, but has two fantastic lines.

Is this episode to ethics heavy? Or does it manage to find a good balance of humour and heavier subject matter. Listen to find out and to hear Nick go off on Italian bread for some reason.

Joined by Crave Doughnuts Co-Owner Jeremy Black, we delve into the episode with arguably the worst title name in show history. Act I with "grease me up woman" is fantastic, but it's all downhill from there.

Nick gets heated about Adam Sandler for some reason before the guys dive into another classic. One thinks it's the third straight 10/10 episode, the other thinks it's not quite there.

Could it be? Back-to-back 10/10 episodes? We certainly think so. We also talk about CFL vs NFL and Nick gets riled up over Jeff Dunham again.
