195. Time Fountain: Fountain of Time! Chapter 3 Apr 06, 2021

Show notes

Listen, I'm gonna level with ya... this is the wildest one yet. That's partly due to the story, and partly due to the fact that the hosts seem to have just sort of, broken? I mean I can give you the names of songs in this one but it's not going to guide this experience in a meaningful way. Still want 'em?? Okay: "Dig a Little Hole", "How Many Stacks?", "A Gibson Girl", "The Lady is an Ocean", and "Perfect Lunch". Most importantly, it's the triumphant return of DANA "WIX ON THE STIX" WICKENS!

192. Crystal Corner (With the FamBand) Mar 16, 2021

Show notes

In this episode of Zach and Jess are powered by the arcane and unknowable power that is crystals! This is fortunate because their brains are melted this week, so any help is appreciated.

Song’s include: Jessie Two Drinks, I Do Not Know A Single Thing’s, We’re All Just Pig Puppet’s In The Wind, Heavy Tho?, Magic2Me, and Valley (girl)!

Show notes

Rory O'Malley (Central Park, Hamilton, Book of Mormon) returns to help Zach and Jess face the prospect of the singularity in Bad Robot! Can you program your robots to be your nice children? Are any and all robots also cars? And how could J.Crew possibly be involved? Well, with songs like "They Grow Up as Fast as You Program Them To," "Hot Dog," and "More Buttons than Holes" it's time to move over J.J. Abrams because THIS is the only Bad Robot that matters.
