The Simpsons go to Africa this week while Jack & Dan stay put in WEE Studios with returning special guest Nick Noga. Season 12’s Simpson Safari, one of our most requested episodes (even Mike Reiss hates it) has a bag-boy strike (they happen!) twist and tweak itself into monkey and diamond-related hijinks with many of Africa’s famous landmarks and tragic quagmires used for comic fodder. Will Nick point out WEE’s flawed ranking system and ever-increasing disconnect with actual Simpsons commentary? Does John Swartzwelder save the episode with a strong first act? Can Jack effectively capture the typical episode-summarizing blurb Dan usually writes for each new podcast, or will he succumb to his natural tendency to use too many clauses and run-on sentences until everyone has finally given up on whatever he was trying to say? All this, plus Amazon’s Cat Drones, the Laugh Command Lunch Box, Jack’s frozen bread and Blood Diamond’s very own Leonardo DiCaprio.

NEXT WEEK: Season 15's Co-Dependent's Day

Happy Father's Day to all our WEE Dads who may or may not have ever had sex. In their honor, WEE watch Season 20's Father Knows Worst, a story about helicopter dads, brokeback jugglers and weirdly intricate scene transitions. When Homer tries to become a better father it backfires, which describes a number of better episodes as well. How many different plot threads can they cram into a first act? Can the show get so cartoony in an otherwise realistic plot? And was Charles really in charge or was he just some weird drifter? Plus, amazing mazes, Oscar Wilde, and a special appearance (or several) by dad-bod enthusiast and Inception star, Leonardo DiCaprio (aka the Fifth Manson).

NEXT WEEK: Season 12's Simpson Safari

It's Jack's birthday! It's Dan's birthday! It's Nelson Muntz's birthday! Yes, our birthdays are within two days of each other's, and to celebrate, we watch Season 18's The Haw-Hawed Couple, where Nelson has a birthday, nobody comes, and then he and Bart become best friends (and beat up Doctor Octopus). AND the origin of The Book Job's Angelica Button! What a jam-packed episode! Is this the best Homer plot we've seen on this show? Is this the best animated "Goodfellas" parody ever? And how come the Ullman Era voices sounded so much like the Rat Pack? Plus, the secret power source of WEE Studios, mixed up Draculas, and things you can do with a jacuzzi suit. We earn our explicit tag this week, listeners, so keep wee ears away from WEE this week.

This week, from a very hot WEE Studios, Dan & Jack celebrate LGBTQ Pride Month with Season 16's jumpy-aroundy episode "There's Something About Marrying," the episode where Springfield legalizes gay marriage and Patty comes out of the closet. Do the writers come out in favor or against gay marriage? How does this episode stack up against Homer's Phobia? And when will the famous publishing house Marhouse & Barton publish Dan's fan fiction? Plus, WEE twist the ceiling fan, learn about Huell Howser, and devolve our Ullman-era Simpsons voices into bad Sammy Davis Jr. impressions. We resisted our urges to create characters out of every misspoken word in an attempt to keep this episode on track. Did it work?

Deleted scenes & outtakes from episode 33, South Park Did It including a discussion about the couch gag, the lame "jewels" joke, and the banner ads Marge encounters.  Also, the true origin of Laugh Command and some regret about a recent episode ranking, all while Dan perfects his John Travolta and Jack gets distracted by fireworks.
