This episode of STME features the one and only Bill Oakley, legendary Simpsons writer, co-creator of Mission Hill, and originator of the Simpsons "Steamed Hams" joke which spiraled into an internet phenomenon and later the namesake of his newfound food influencer career. We talk Simpsons, Mission Hill, The Mullets, and of course, burgers.

Which One

This Groundskeeper Willie video’s going to have it ALL - the length and girth of a Dan Carlin history podcast, the tightly-scripted humor of a VH1 Behind the Music OR BETTER, that’s just an entry-level promise, and of course we’ll learn a ton of fun facts by cataloging and explaining every single joke or reference Willie’s ever made in an ADD-fueled, Connections-inspired stream-of-consciousness frenzy! By the end of this mind-boggling journey, you’ll ken ‘em all. We’ll also create a full fictive timeline of Willie’s life, track his thirty-year relationship to Skinner and the janitorial arts, construct a couple After Hours-style pop culture theories, play a round of Scottish SLANG-WHANG, and get real about The Problem With Apu - I mean Willie - as a Scottish and blue collar stereotype. Plus I’ll even explain why and how he works as a sitcom character and engine for bits, like I did with my recent Arrested Development video, since people seemed to like that.

How The Simpsons’ Planet of the Apes Musical Was Born | Simpsons Taught Me Everything

Film Director Brandon Faris co-founded video production studio LEAPFrame in 2013, but his real first love is music. After studying sound production, he took on stints engineering music for commercials (he wrote a song a for Ford Truck ad!) and as a youth minister before learning to edit video by creating classic spots and mini-documentaries for Current TV. We talk about how he got his first videos on air, why he started his own podcast (Filmmakers Drinking Bourbon), and how he’s really a fashionista at heart.

We also discussed:

- Why getting a job as a used car salesman literally made him cry
- Realizing his sweet spot was between somewhere between editing in a dark room and new business development
- Product-izing and packaging the video production process
- How he always has multiple books in circulation (how?)
- Why he converted to a 15-piece capsule wardrobe (again, how?)
