episode 120: That volcano outside Hveragerði

Published February 15, 2026

We assume our title will send tens of you dashing to Google Translate or similar to check Joe’s [Jesus!] pronunciation, so spoiler alert, he’s spot on. Or not. Apologies to Icelanders.

So…. 120’s out. That’s a thing we finally did. With it, season six concludes and begins its long trudge toward inevitable oblivion. But with goats, so it’s not so bad.

Stay tuned for a special announcement at the end, and no, I’m not going to tell you here or even give you a hint. LISTEN TO THE SHOW. That’s why we made it. Sheesh!

I will give you one spoiler, though: the volcano is a red herring. For now.

Right, don’t tell your parents we suggested this, but we kinda think the title of this episode would make a hell of a Halloween costume….

Ahem.

The away ship is basically nestled in the Oz 9’s armpit, the ship’s assassin is expiring faster than yesterday’s dairy-based leftovers on the back seat of a hot car, the crew have to figure out how to hijack their own ship without weapons, strategy, or sufficient intellect to stay out of a silk tunnel when wearing pointy shoes, and it’s TUESDAY.

Also, that’s the last time I let Cpt. Jessie write the show notes.

Just listen. You’ll figure it out.

episode 118: Easy, M Night Shamalamadingdong

Published October 9, 2025

Hello? <tap tap> Anybody out there?

Oh, yeah, hey. It’s been a minute. Soooooooo… where were we?

<deep breath> Right. When last we left our crew, they had managed to make it on the Maggies II and III and blast off from Planet Bob. Just barely before Planet Bob sort of … blasted. Now that word feels funny. Blasted.

Question is, did the ships and their contents survive the explosion? Well, considering this episode is, what, 26 minutes long, I’m gonna go with “probably,” or this is gonna be a hella awkward silence.

If Nattertop and Phil, the spiders aboard Maggie II and III respectively, survived, they certainly have their work cut out for them. Assuming, of course, the spiders plan to heal the crew …

episode 117: New respect for gerbils

Published August 26, 2025

Yes, you read that title correctly. We have a profound respect for gerbils up here and won’t hear a word against them. If you take issue with that, or indeed with Rodentia in general, well, we would remind you that the characteristic that defines Rodentia is a “single pair of continuously growing incisors in each of the upper and lower jaws,”* so let THAT keep you awake at night.

episode 116: No narration after meanwhile

Published August 10, 2025

Look, when your life is in the hands of someone who only recently gave up huffing glue, you keep your will updated and hope for the best.

Such is the situation our four guests find themselves in, but hey, they agreed to be part of this season of I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Off This Toxic Planet, so on their own heads be it, really.

Dr Theo (swoon) has sabotaged their escape “plan” for purposes that are hazy at best and really f*&king stupid at worst, and now the crew are stuck on a planet that’s trying its celestial best to kill them.

Will they survive? More importantly, will IaCGMOTTP be renewed for another season? Until next time, Space Monkeys, go get some sun. Really, you’re looking a little peaky.

Thanks as ever to the wonderful Mission: Rejected podcast for lending us their voices and talent and not immediately sending us a Cease & Desist order after reflecting upon their choices. (They recently did a live show — you can see the hilarious video here.)

episode 115: Are you … twerking?

Published July 27, 2025

Stuck on Planet Bob where pretty much everything is awful all the time, the crew is freezing and desperate for a safe place to … well, to screw up, if their past is any indication. Huddled for warmth, buffeted by high winds, they suddenly hear the faint sounds of laughter and applause. Because of course they do.

Our thanks and a hearty recommendation to listen to https://www.missionrejected.com/⁠https://www.missionrejected.com/⁠, an extremely funny podcast about the team who gets the mission when the first guy rejects it.

Until next time, Space Monkeys, yes, you probably ought to get that thing looked at.

episode 114: Cigars, piles of meat, and someone else’s liquor

Published June 26, 2025

The crew are tramping aimlessly across the blistering and occasionally freezing surface of Planet KTAALNS (Kill Them All And Leave No Survivors, otherwise known as “Bob”) and things are pretty grim. Like, not even Brothers Grimm, more Quintuplets Grimm, plus a few singles and a couple sets of Twins Grimm. Just very very grim.

I mean, they might survive, but even if they do, they’re going to smell really bad, and does anyone need that right now?

episode 113: Into the clown car, y’all

Published June 1, 2025

Have you ever been invited to a party you really REALLY didn’t want to go to? Like, you won’t know very many people, you’re not sure how to dress for it, and the atmosphere is toxic? But you’re being frog-marched by an army of ants onto an away ship, so you don’t really have a choice, and you’re sure the chances of getting anything decent to eat are hovering at slightly below zero?

Yeah, well, welcome to our world. Planet KTAALNS (Kill Them All And Leave No Survivors, or, affectionately, “Bob”) awaits our bedraggled little crew, and it looks like this particularly party is going to be their last.

episode 112: Don’t piss off your narrators

Published April 27, 2025

I’M SORRY, WHAT? HANG ON, LET ME GET TO A QUIETER PLACE, JUST A SECOND….

Phew. That’s better. Things have gone bananarama aboard the Oz 9, and the crew has spent the last few hours trying not to get dysentery or squashed crossing a digital freeway. A few folks are hanging out in Meanwhile, which is basically a Narrators’ Neverland with a few extra lost boys, and someone keeps trying to stick a fish in my ear.

You’re welcome to join the fracas, if you really want to, but wear a helmet and avoid Wiggy. He’s an asshole.
