episode sixty-eight: Hold our swamp hooch

This episode is dedicated to the memory of Granny Shelp,
who held the codes to Gated Galaxies, and the key to our hearts.
Much love to one of our forever space monkeys.

Leet’s been boiling up … well, we’re not sure what those are. He thought they were apples, and he was trying to make apple cider. Or maybe apple sauce, we’re not really clear what he was aiming for. In any event, he ended up with something that can only be contained in these special jars the Albatros makes from clay from the bioswamp; it burns right through everything else.

Anyway, if someone invites you to have a swig of swamp hooch, we really suggest you run away. Maybe punch them first, because clearly they’re trying to kill you, and that’ll give you a little more time to escape.

episode sixty-seven: I haf been tinkering vis my shavink foam

We hope you all had a great holiday season. 

We didn’t.

Something blew up and it stunk like crazy, but we still have no idea what it was, and Dr. von Haber Zetzer’s not talking. We’re not sure if that’s because he’s guilty or in shock, but either way, we’re not prying an answer out of him any time soon.

episode sixty-four: Is there anyone on the bridge whose name isn’t completely douchey?

Yeah, it’s kind of a long title, but it’s an important question. 

This episode is a flashback in which random, weird stuff happens, just in case you were wondering if 2021 and 2022 were the weirdest history gets.

episode sixty-two: I sent him a hippotigrus

It’s true many people complain that Oz 9 is not only NOT educational, it may in fact “leach information out of your brain as you listen.” (thanks, mom — real nice)

We beg to differ. Did you know zebras were once called “hippotigruses” (hippotigri? whatever)? Think of how much you’ve learned about plants and space and maths and fugu and Sweden!

Anyway, if we’re making you dumber, I think you know exactly what Olivia would have to say to that. Because that’s ANOTHER THING YOU LEARNED.

episode sixty-one: The “tilslørte bondepiker” maneuver

LOOK. I never said it would be the MORNING of September 19, I just said it would be ON September 19, so I DON’T WANT TO HEAR IT.

It’s episode 61, and incredibly, it seems our crew might have actually lost some brain cells over the hiatus. I swear, if there’s a skull and crossbones on it, this crew wants to eat it, marry it, or at least put it in the garage next to something flammable.

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.

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