"That's why I have chosen to be heartened by being lousy at this, even after all these years. To learn how much an exquisite cashmere throw costs, and then to retain that information, would be a difficult defeat to swallow. After a brief chat with Matt about the state of The Simpsons, the tyranny of The Eight Seasons, and the challenge of writing in what he called the post-post-post- Simpsons universe, we turned to the challenge at hand."
"Matt, who lost his house in this year's Los Angeles fires and is currently in his Not Accumulating Shit era, came in with a unique perspective and an admirably insouciant approach to playing the game at all. Most of the episode, with some delightful and unmotivated interruptions from Matt to tell stories about a dispute over double boilers in the writing room of a 1990s sitcom, and played-out podcast tropes relating to Halloween candy, is just It Not Working."
Seven annual attempts at a Williams-Sonoma Catalog Price Is Right game occurred, with 2019–2020 excluded due to lack of employment and a podcast. The player consistently fails at estimating luxury kitchen and home goods prices and prefers remaining ignorant of expensive retail costs. A Simpsons showrunner guest, recently displaced by Los Angeles fires and embracing a Not Accumulating Shit approach, contributed irreverent stories and interruptions. The episode featured guesses on stand mixers, Denizli cotton pricing, the SMEG x Porsche blender collaboration, parlor-style dessert costs, and a coffee gadget, with anecdotes about a 1990s sitcom dispute over double boilers and Halloween candy tropes.
