It’s another presidential-themed episode as we discuss Season 7 Episode 13, Two Bad Neighbors- Ex-President George HW Bush moves to Springfield, much to Homer’s dismay.
I’m joined today by Jamison Webb; actor, comedian and fellow prez-head. We talk about his appearance on Curb Your Enthusiasm, Bush’s best one-liners, and why he’s a mix of Flanders and Smithers (spoiler: the man’s a wimp!).
