We celebrate what may be the greatest musical episode of the Simpsons by covering it LIVE on the rooftop of the Volstead for SXSW in Austin, TX!

Welcome to a very special episode of Eat My Shorts! You may be getting the sense that we overuse the word special, but you are, once again, dead wrong. Can’t get to South by Southwest in Austin TX this year? This week we’re bringing South by Southwest to YOU! No, you’re not reading these words wrong–this week’s show was recorded live on the roof of the Volstead bar on the East Side. Please excuse the minor sound issues, because it is a great episode!

We cover the Simpsons season 5 premiere chronicling the rise & fall of the Be Sharps, and we compare it to the trajectory of the Beatles, the hip obscure rock band the Be Sharps were based on. We also talk about flea markets, Homer’s cooking, and have some fun interacting with our live audience.
