episode fifty-nine: Quality control. Also, nibbles.

You’ve been awesome! No, really. I’d love to be able to reward your patience, but instead I just have an episode. I know it’s not much, but I made it myself. 

One more episode to close out the season: are you ready?

No. You’re not. Sorry, but you are SO not ready.

episode fifty-eight: Spucked into sace

With just three episodes (well, this one plus two more) left in the season, is that a cliff I see ahead? With a small branch protruding from its face, just right for hanging?

Things are moving along at a rapid pace, much like the Oz 9 isn’t, and there are surprises, tears, laughter, warming of hearts, girding of loins, rending of garments, and possibly smoochies ahead.

Oh, and you’re gonna want to stick through the credits this time. YES, WE DID THAT THING WHERE WE PUT SOMETHING IMPORTANT AFTER THE CREDITS, WOULD IT KILL YOU TO LISTEN TO THEM ONCE IN A WHILE?

Sheesh.

episode fifty-seven: But then I also say higgledy piggledy

This episode begins with a funeral, so you might want to have tissues handy.

The production assistant was supposed to get hypo-allergenic flowers for the ceremony but managed to find hyper-allergenic ones, which don’t only make you sneeze, they cram themselves up your nose until you beg for mercy. 

The PA has been fwipped, so if you have even remotely appropriate experience, we’re hiring.

episode fifty-six: Our future together is suddenly in doubt

I’m contractually obligated to tell you that we’re running a Kickstarter campaign to try to fund turning Oz 9 into a comic book. So please give us money, if you can, or tell other people to give us money. Or both. Thanks and whatever. (GOOD NEWS, WE’RE FUNDED!)

Here’s a surprise: Jessie doesn’t like comics. She says they’re too colourful and she’s never read one. I would have recommended she read them when she’s not in a bad mood, but maybe that’s what she’s already doing?

Until next time, Space Monkeys!

Bonus episode: Mission: *FWIP*!

A rift in time and space causes four members of the Oz 9 crew to get pulled off the space ship (bringing the median IQ up a significant number of notches) and swapped with four members of the EMF (aaaaaaaaaaand we’re back to where we were, IQ-wise).

This is part two of a special two-part crossover with the frankly hilarious secret agent comedy, Mission: Rejected. If you haven’t heard part one yet, stop, put us on pause, go out, listen to part 1 on the Mission: Rejected feed, come back, take us off pause, because from this moment forward….

I’d say “spoilers,” but let’s face it… it’s mostly nonsense. 

Be sure to listen to the fantastic comedy being dished up at Mission: Rejected (https://missionrejected.simplecast.com/). You won’t regret it. Much.

episode fifty-five: Monkey Man, gather the sweets

OK, OK, yes, it’s late AGAIN. We know. We’ve been having a really rough time lately, the kids are sick, the roof caved in when we had that thunderstorm last week, and then there was that other thing….

No, you’re right. None of that is true. Our alarm is a bored dude just saying “alarm alarm alarm” over and over, so clearly this is not a well-financed, slick-and-professional thing we’ve got going here. 

Throw some money at our Patreon or Kofi, and maybe we can talk about maintaining a schedule. It won’t happen, but we can talk.

Our next episode is extra special, and we’re super excited to bring it to you. Plus, someone else is doing the production, so it’ll probably be on time!

Until then, Space Monkeys!

episode fifty-four: Remove the bejesus with fear

All the backstory you never wanted and then some. We find out some stuff about Le Bichon Frise, some other stuff about Donna, blah blah blah. Greg falls over at one point, so that’s pretty funny. 

I’d say “sorry it’s so late,” but I feel like I ought to be it before I say it. So…. It’s late.

episode fifty-three: Where’s Grammar Girl when you need her?

The universe may be crashing around your ears, but as long as you know the difference between who and whom and how to scoop up a dangling participle, you’ll be all right. It’s kind of like knowing where your towel is.

In this very special episode, a guest pops onto the ship and into Leet’s arms, and for a few moments at least, all seems right with the world.

A very few moments. And not really “right” so much as “slightly less wrong.”

Many thanks to our very special guest, Mignon Fogarty, educator, author, speaker, and host of the brilliant, award-winning Grammar Girl’s Quick and Dirty Tips to Better Writing podcast!

episode fifty-two: Everyone knows about böckling

Do you know how to disable an invisible alarm? Yeah, well, listen close; someone on our crew is about to tell you.

Well, maybe… we’re not entirely sure it works, so I don’t know that I’d test it at the Louvre. Maybe Paddy MacDougal’s Museum O’Naughty Limericks and Saucy Sea Shanties first.

Just steer clear of the green milkshakes. Actually, that’s a really good lesson for the Oz 9 as well.

Anyway, here’s the episode, it’s late, and there are probably half a dozen limericks at Paddy’s that could push it down and steal its lunch money, but never mind. Someone bring me some wine, and don’t spare the chickens.
