Episode 127: Homer vs. The 18th Amendment or Are You Jonathan Davis or A Colby Cheese Sandwich

About this episode

The episode discusses Homer's antics in bringing alcohol back to Springfield while exploring connections to Prohibition and featuring a younger guest's perspective.

Patrick picked one of his favorites and we asked our niece Anora to join us to get a younger perspective on this fan favorite episode. Homer finds away to bring alcohol back to Springfield after an old law bans it from the town. As luck would have it Anora was able to make a lot of personal connections to the subject matter as she just finished learning about Prohibition in her history class and her school's musical. We also discuss: - The truth behind the Magic Mirror - More nicknames - One Man Show ideas - Oscars talk - EGOTs - Too many "k's" - The podcast branching out to other business opportunities - The Barbara Mandrel Effect - Buffalo's local connection to Prohibition - Cori spills the tea - Webster talk - Cori brings the positivity - Is St. Patrick's Day pinching still a thing - Confusing Princesses - Cori's odd pet - Stop, drop and roll education - Gen Z representation - The Anora bump Our Recommendations: - Patrick: Goes back to school - Cori: Oscar nominated films, Hamnet, Begonia, One Battle After Another - Bryan: The Bride and Conan on the Oscars - Anora: Birthday Party and her musical Mare (sadly it has already happened) Go support Patrick and check out…
