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?

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.

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!

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.

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-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.
