Heavy episode, because we have a lot of a copyrighted feature of John Syracuse called follow up.
This is, this is where, you know, can I tell you where Mastodon is a Viking? Jesus.
We're going to follow up on the Simpsons and one in particular, one now, Ralph Wiggum.
I thought we covered it pretty well last episode, but there was at least one tidbit that I think we didn't say, and I wanted to get that in.
The reason it sticks in all of our minds is we all find it funny and interesting, and it's been around at this point like decades.
John, it ends up almost being a secret weird thing where it is actually funny both ways.
But I mean, I've always thought that was just because that was still pretty early on in Ralph's tenure.
And it was still funny whenever he would say something like, I bent my Wookiee or whatever.
Yeah, so last episode we read a tweet from Josh Weinstein who said that it was the simplest answer, which is that Ralph dreams of being a Viking.
