Hey Broomheads, #DEEEMP is back with a lot of Matty O., but no euchre, so it’s a trade off. Mr. O and Paige are in the crosshairs after maybe being spotted having a chemistry-less picnic in a parking lot. Meanwhile, Emma’s taking a break from boys in favor of mocktails and tie-dye, but her pals have starry eyes for (gulp) Chester?!?!! We don’t get it, but maybe you will! Enjoy Broomheads, and thanks for listening!

Happy New Year Broomheads! Mr. O returns to Degrassi this week to continue his relationship with his high school student, while Ellie finds herself neck deep in the dangerous world of high stakes euchre. It’s all incredibly scandalous, and Pat & Rach are here to dig through it all as only they can on #DEEEMP!

Happy Holidays, Broomheads! If you need to get away for a half hour, your pals, Rach and Pat, are here for you!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, to all the Dope Monkeys out there for an amazing year of #DEEEMP, and we can’t wait to keep it going in 2020!

Hey Broomheads, #DEEEMP is back with the last episode before the holidays and it’s some heavy bones! Jimmy’s back at Degrassi, and for Spinner that comes with some complicated emotions. Meanwhile in Grade 10, JT and Liberty make out in a hot tub a few times and #DEEEMP coins the term “Toxic Dadsculity,” which, you’re welcome, world! This is the last regular #DEEEMP for the year (decade!), but check back next week, Dope Monkeys, cuz Rach and Pat will have a little something extra for your holiday stocking!

Hey, Broomheads! After a small hiatus #DEEEMP is back with a super sized episode that should more than make up for our absence! This week we tackle the famous “blowjobs for bracelets” two parter and it’s a doozy, we promise. We recorded this on Rach’s birthday, got a bit drunker than usual, and struggled mightily with both the episode’s timeline and the character’s oftentimes too-similar names. It’s all very fun, so come hang with us while you Holiday shop!

Hey Broomheads! Rach and Pat are back on #DEEEMP to discuss new principals, new relationships, and new Chesters! Just a programming note, #DEEEMP will be away for the next two weeks, so drink this one in slowly and we’ll see you after Thanksgiving, but before Christmas!

Hey Broomheads! After a week of nice and easy fun, Degrassi comes rip-roaring back with some heavy, heavy bones. If a school shooting wasn’t enough to call season 4 the shows most “go thereiest” yet, then surely an unexpected manic episode and a bipolar diagnosis should seal the deal. We’ve got Craig in crisis, Liberty adapting horror novels, and AUNT SALLY! It’s a stacked Degrassi and a stacked #DEEEMP, so enjoy over a nice, big bowl of radishes!
