episode fifty-one: I look damn good in jodhpurs

The crew aboard the Oz 9 are stalactites, holding tight to the ceiling in unexpected zero Gs, and the crew on the ground are stalagmites, who might survive if a crabby, oddly dressed ancient god decides to let them go.

You know, same old same old.

Oz 9 is back from holiday break, though why a crew that typically works a solid seven-minute day needs a break is yet to be determined.

We hope you missed us as much as we very nearly missed that very important satellite. Hey, who needs news in this day and age, amirite?

Thanks to the awesome Ann Sloan for providing the trailer for her very funny Carlotta Beautox Chronicles podcast!

It doesn’t get much more trivial than this

To punish Kevin Hall for having the gall to … something, I can’t remember what it was he did, but for sure he did something really bad to merit this kind of response…. Anyway, maybe just to be mean, we made him relisten to Oz 9, write a bunch of trivia questions, then ask them to four people who between them could barely scrape up an answer to the question of what they had for breakfast on that particular day.

It’s nearly 90 minutes of “uhhhhhh…..” and “hang on, I know I know this one,” and “seriously, Kevin, where are you getting these questions?!” and very few answers, but if you like that sort of thing, it’s good for an occasional laugh.

Seriously, thanks to Kevin for enduring, and for Bryan, Corey, and Jess for being amazing, fantastic sports.

Diary of a Oz9ivist: Is this a cheese dream?

What happens when the alien aboard your ship gets hungry?

Usually really gross things involving lots of blood and gore and that, but fortunately for us, the grossest thing in this episode is a small critter popping out of an orifice. Which is actually less gross than it sounds. Wait for it.

The ships of Samantha Lyons and the Oz 9 have stumbled into one another in space, and Leet’s had lots of caffeine, and there’s some dancing.

Our thanks to the glorious Beccy Stirrup, creator, writer, and actor on Diary of a Space Archivist for creating this with us!

Please note that Oz 9 will be taking a brief holiday hiatus and we’ll be back in January of 2021. Happy hols to alls!

episode fifty: M’Lady of Little Chadwick upon Bad Patter

Humans on the receiving end of divine affections don’t do so well, mythologically speaking. However, after having seen Donna in action, the smart money is on the homo sapien. Pluto better watch his gold lamé onesie, if he knows what’s good for him.

With this episode, we are officially halfway through Season 3 of Oz 9, so let’s all take a moment to realize this crew of idiots has managed to survive this long. Well, apart from Matt, that guard in the tunnel, Lady Nibble-Biscuit, the mime, several thousand pod-occupants, 1/3 of Sweden…. never mind.

As this gaggle of ninnies is still out there, do please be careful. Wear your mask, wash your hands, carry Idiot Repellant, and join us for WiFiSciFi on December 6!

episode forty-nine: I’m soft, squishy, and covered in Hollandaise sauce

I’d apologize for this being so late, but if you think about it, I gave you an extra 16-and-a-half Oz-free hours, which is, like, a decade in idiot years.

It’s been a long day aboard the Oz 9. You think bad decision making is easy — Doritos for dinner? Yes, please. Easy! Go for a run or drink chocolate milk with vodka? Vodka. Definitely. Easy! —and yet, it’s exhausting.

So, you’ll get no apology from me, unless I come across one on my way to the couch.

episode forty-eight: Putting the freeze on boogerology

Remember how there was that one week you were sick or maybe just on vacation but too poor to go anywhere? And you watched daytime TV, and even though you knew it was ridiculous and cheesy, by Friday you were desperate to know if little Suzy really was Armoire’s daughter and if Aristato would find Nectarina in time to stop her from marrying … I don’t know, Ponderosa Jutjaw or whatever?

Just stay with me, this is relevant.

What I’m saying is, it’s totally possible to get swept up in a story, even if the story is kind of nonsense and the characters are slightly less intelligent than waffles.

Don’t believe me? This is episode 48.

episode forty-seven: Chasing Lord Lunchable

What would you do if everything in your garden suddenly attacked you? Carrots shooting themselves at your eyes, radishes nibbling tiny, spicy holes in your ankles, kohlrabi shouting at you, probably in German, given how “kohlrabi” is spelled — does it seem German to you? just me? — and let’s not even talk about what the watermelon is trying to do. I just caught a mosquito with my … nope, there it is again.

Would you ever be able to eat a salad again?

This is vaguely relevant to episode 47, but only sort of. Meanwhile, I’m going to have nightmares about cauliflower.

episode forty-six: It’s invasion of the body snackers

Probably the most remarkable thing that happens in this entire episode is that Le Bichon Frise pronounces “assassinate” correctly.

I know. We were pretty shocked too.

It happens at the bottom of page 3, so if you just want to hear that and skip the rest, I don’t suppose anyone would blame you.

Oh, and there’s a bit about a butterfly that’s funny. You might want to stick around for that. And the discount code for the chocolate. That’s never a bad thing.

Up to you.

episode forty-five: Who doesn’t love a decorative bunting?

It’s really late. The kind of late that keeps on getting later until it circles back round to early. When I’m this blurry and tired, I’m likely to say anything. Like how much more bearable life became on this ship with we busted Dr. Theo out of his pod. Geeky never looked so good….

See, now what did I say? Stop with the questions and the “oooo tell me everything” eyes. Dr. Theo is extremely fond of his personal space, and that’s all there is to it. So shut up. I’m going to bed.
