Bonus: About Ryan Guzman... Jul 24, 2025

Show notes

In light of Ryan Guzman's recent mask-off moment, we sat down to have an honest conversation about parasociality, the limits of benefit of the doubt, the divorced-dad-to-redpill pipeline, and why we plan to keep buddiemaxxing out of spite.

Bonus: Fanon is Not Enough: Our Thoughts on 8x09 and 8x10 Feat. Justin Gross Mar 24, 2025

Show notes

Content warning: This episode includes some mild talk of suicide, including a reference in our opening bit. It's all related to the content of 8x09, but if you haven't seen said episode or don't want to relive it, be aware!

Enjoy this already obsolete bonus discussion of 9-1-1 season 8 episodes 9 and 10. Fair warning, this is a bit of a cynical episode in which we air a lot of grievances with season 8 and the general direction of the show. If you were expecting a high-spirits buddiemaxxing episode, this might not be the one for you! We covered a lot of topics, so here are timestamps:

00:00 Intro

6:55 Is Buddie queerbait?/Ryan Guzman opinions

28:11 Buddie in 8x09 and 8x10

48:25 Season 8 in general, the show's declining quality

1:05:06 The Maddie stuff/Why won't the show take risks?

1:27:29 Advice to Tim Minear/Who we would kill off

1:40:36 Miscellaneous joking around

1:44:09 Maddie goaded a guy into killing himself

1:50:36 Closing thoughts

On today's First Respodcast, we cover the second-ever episode of 9-1-1. Featuring plenty of talk of Final Destination 3, Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, and just how far we'd go for the affections of one Evan "County Fair Spider-Man" Buckley.

Show notes

Let the first respodcasting begin! Jane and Ryan introduce themselves, go on way too many tangents, reveal our embarrassing list of podcast-titles-that-might-have-been, and somewhere in between manage to discuss season 1, episode 1 of 9-1-1. And it only takes us... TWO HOURS?!?!
