Latest Episodes:

Gay Oven Theory (S6 EP 4 "Animal Instincts") Jul 10, 2026

Show notes

Join us for a classic 'Ryan and Jane complain for over 90 minutes' First Respodcast episode. Sorry! It's season 6! Take us as we are or leave us! We talked a lot about Buck's sperm AND came up with a brand new Buddie household item theory, does that make up for it??

Athena Grant Is On the Scene (S6 EP 3 "The Devil You Know") Jul 03, 2026

Show notes

CONTENT WARNING: This episode includes non-graphic discussion of CSA/pedophilia and child murder. It's a heavy episode of 9-1-1! We don't go into much detail but viewer discretion is advised. No timestamps because it's more like the general plot of the episode we're discussing than specific moments.

This week we cover one of 9-1-1's most harrowing (and in our opinion, effective) episodes: the culmination of Athena's life-long goal to solve the disappearance of her childhood neighbor. It's an episode with endless southern gothic orange grove atmosphere, supportive husband Bobby, and only the most tasteful of needle drops.

Terror! At the Happiness Symposium (S6 EP 2 "Crash and Learn") Jun 26, 2026

Show notes

We're crashing and learning this week discussing the 9-1-1 episode Crash and Learn. We have mixed feelings! While Athena does awesome moody Southern gothic things in her hometown, the 118 respond to some really lame calls, Buck is annoying, and Hen almost dies trying to be a doctor and a paramedic at the same time. The moral of the story? We're really excited for next week's episode.

Butthurt Buck Begins (S6 EP 1 "Let the Games Begin") Jun 19, 2026

Show notes

It's finally time to start unpacking season 6, and Jane's SISTER IS HERE!!! Haven't you always wanted to hear about 9-1-1 from the perspective of a viola DMA candidate? Us too. Unfortunately for her, Bobby and Athena do NOT make it to their cruise ship honeymoon in this episode.

Small Talk: The Episode (S5 EP 18 "Starting Over") Jun 05, 2026

Show notes

We've finally reached the conclusion of season 5! Hear us go in depth on this rather mediocre, anticlimactic finale. At least it had lesbianism!

To Catch a Thief (#FOMO AF) (S5 EP 15 "FOMO") May 08, 2026

Show notes

This week, it's your beloved co-host Ryan's BIRTHDAY!!!! So you'd better all be nice to him and accept all of his takes as correct. This episode of 9-1-1 is an emotional rollercoaster, from goofy reality TV antics to one of the show's most devastating calls. Season 9 finale? WHAT season 9 finale?!

Karma Police (S5 EP 14 "Dumb Luck") May 01, 2026

Show notes

It's a classic theme-driven 9-1-1 episode this week, this time exploring DUMB LUCK. And you better believe we'll hear that theme repeated over and over again. Hear us break down perhaps the one true good Lucy storyline of the show, the funniest needle drop in 9-1-1 history, and Eddie's continued frustrating writing.

Eddie on the Verge of a Stupid Breakdown (S5 EP 13 "Fear-o-Phobia") Apr 24, 2026

Show notes

It's a weird, silly, scary time on the Respodcast this week! Hear us lament the characteristic messiness of Eddie's storylines, debate the personhood of spiders, and do some rare Buck bashing (DESERVED!). Eek I'm so AFRAID!
