Happy day after Halloween, Broomheads! Your favorite dope monkeys are back with a new #DEEEMP and this one is a “steering wheel” episode if ever there was one. Craig learns everything not to do regarding band dynamics, and Paige is crushing hard on their new TA, Mr. O, who may be a recurring character in the Deeempiverse moving forward. We shall see!

Hey Broomheads! After a few weeks off, #DEEEMP is back and exactly the same as you remember it! We’re discussing the aftermath of the shooting at Degrassi, and Sean is trying to process the events, but not doing the best job. We take an excursion with an unlikely Gang of Four to some Canadian beach where we meet Sean’s oft-discussed parents, and it doesn’t disappoint. Meanwhile, JT is freezing Toby out because JT kinda sucks. We missed you guys, but we’re excited to be back, so enjoy!!!

Hey Broomheads, we’ve made it! We are finally at one of the most controversial Degrassi episodes of all time, the one where Caitlin buys Joey’s house! JK. This is the infamous “Rick shoots Jimmy” episode, which changes the course of the show moving forward. It’s as emotional a ride as you remember, and we spend 90 minutes on it. #DEEEMP

Hey Broomheads, #DEEEMP is back to discuss the demise of the surprisingly beloved Spaige. Also, Rick and Toby become friends and spread their brand of creepy like a kissing-borne virus. Rach and Pat also answer an email and discuss the merits of ABBA, The Bee Gees, Kenny Rogers, and Dolly Parton. It’s a fun one! Enjoy!

It’s Friday, so that means #DEEEMP is back, Broomheads! It’s a packed episode as we’ve got student-run car washes, drunk mothers, cohabitation, gay dads, Downtown Sasquatch, body odor, AND, if that’s not enough, we coin the term EXTREMEAGERS, which is both a trademark and a t-shirt that needs to be made. Let Rach and Pat accompany you on your last commute before the weekend! Enjoy!

Hey Broomheads, it’s time to get your #DEEEMP fix! This week on the podcast, Rachel and Pat take a medium dive on the work of Peter Gabriel, and a deep-ass dive on JT’s penis. Relax, it’s relevant! Oh, also Rick’s back and the kids at Degrassi are welcoming him back not with open arms, but with closed fists and tripping feet. Enjoy!

Hey Broomheads, after an off week, Rach and Pat are back to cover episode 403 for a second time! Beware, we didn’t rewatch the episode before recording so some of the details are pretty fuzzy and the episode goes off the rails pretty quickly, but that’s kinda the point! Have fun!

Hey Broomheads, #DEEEMP is back after a nearly month-long hiatus and we dive right into season 4: a season that sees Terri unceremoniously gone from the show, a new look for just about everyone, and some heavy bones material involving Paige and that slimy, evil rapist Deanlan, or is it Dyan? Since we’ve been gone for a spell, we went extra long this week. Also, it was a two-parter, so how could we not?! We’re very excited to be back and even more excited to get into one of the most controversial seasons in Degrassi history!

Hey Broomheads! The gang’s back to revisit a fun idea from season finales past: it’s another edition of The Degrassi Yearbook! We’re looking back on season three in true #DEEEMP fashion, with superlatives. Who was the best couple? Who had the best kiss? Who was the saddest?! Find out the definitive answers to these questions and hear Rach and Pat talk about a whole bunch of other fun stuff as well in this, a very special #DEEEMP!

Hey, Broomheads! Season 3 of Degrassi: The Next Generation went out with a whimper, but #DEEEMP is as strong as ever! We finally (kinda) get to Bollywood Nights, and Sean finally owns up to stealing Snake’s laptop while he was “on death’s door.” Caitlin finally morphs fully into a sitcom sidekick, all while Terri lays in a hospital bed somewhere, presumably, wrapping some one-ply around her Rick wound. Regardless, Rach and Pat have you covered, Dope Monkeys, so enjoy!
