From encounters with magnificent space whales to battling intergalactic corporate scumbags, there is nothing this crew can't make way more complicated than it needs to be. Tag along every Wednesday and listen in as we learn that the true friends were the ones you decompressed and maybe accidentally spaced along the way.

    Whelp, there's a space monster. And after Stardaddy made fun of us for being so careful and everything. It's almost like he *wants* us to perish in the terrible tesseracting maw of a horrific inter-dimensional creature the likes of which no human has yet to survive. I'm starting to think he's not really rooting for us you guys.

    We're back from the Thanksgiving break and ready to find out what, exactly, has happened to Hopper. Was he whisked to another dimension? Were his molecules separated and strewn about the cosmos? Is he just hiding behind a convenient curtain ready to give Mackie a mild cardiac event? No matter what the outcome, we can be certain of one thing: it is absolutely, definitely, 1000 % not CB's fault. This time.
