Lost Verizon

Denis Leary as himself
Brian Grazer as himself

"Lost Verizon" is the second episode of The Simpsons' twentieth season. It first aired on the Fox network in the United States on October 5, 2008. Bart becomes jealous of his friends and their cell phones. Working at a golf course, Bart takes the cell phone of Denis Leary (which looks like a "Verizon Wireless LG Chocolate Phone") after the star comedian throws it away in anger. Marge, per Leary's advice, activates the GPS system on the phone to track down Bart's every move; catching on, Bart attaches the GPS chip to a bird that migrates to Machu Picchu, Peru. Leary and Brian Grazer (who also appeared in "When You Dish Upon a Star" as himself) both guest star as themselves. It was directed by Raymond S. Persi and written by John Frink.

When Principal Skinner makes a fool of himself on a freeway, Milhouse manages to catch the scene on his phone. He calls most of his friends to see Skinner getting beaten up by a drunken-(as-always) Barney, but cannot call Bart. When Nelson asks why, Milhouse explains that Bart does not have a cell phone. Bart is taunted for missing out on laughing at Skinner. Bart asks Marge for a phone; Marge explains that, because Mr. Burns has cut Homer's pay, she cannot afford it (or a dream trip for Lisa to Machu Picchu). A depressed Bart takes a walk past the Springfield Glen Country Club, and is hit by a golf ball. He angrily runs onto the golf course to find who hit him, and finds it was Dr. Julius Hibbert. Hibbert pays Bart a dollar for the ball. Bart realizes he can earn enough money for a cell phone by retrieving golf balls.
