Hey, Broomheads! #DEEEMP is back with a very, very special episode because, for the first time in #DEEEMP history we’re welcoming a third guest host—Rach and Pat’s great pal and self-proclaimed Broomhead Mayra Velasco! She’s gonna help Rach and Pat get to the bottom of Jimmy’s Dad, Liberty’s pregnancy timeline, and the Britney Spears song “Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman.” It’s fun! Mayra’s great and all the great pals of the show pay the gang a visit at some point or another. Even Steve Mnuchin.

Hey Broomheads! Rach and Pat are back on #DEEEMP for the record-breaking second week in a row! Craig is vowing to remain girlfriend-free for the time being, but he finds himself in the crosshairs of both Ellie and Manny. Meanwhile Joey J is punching way above his weight class with Diane, a young lady looking for love and a domestic used car, whatever that means. We hope you guys are safe and healthy and we’ll see you next week!

Hey Broomheads, your pals are back after a failed attempt at continuation last week! Some tech problems kept us from getting to two in a row, but fear not, we’re back on the horse! This week, Liberty and JT come to a crossroads in their relationship—the very same relationship that has been given about six minutes of screen time prior to this episode. Elsewhere, Darcy (is she a new student or the same person from last season, only she’s forgotten the school shorting?) is indoctrinating Spinner into “Friendship Club,” a club for Jesus. It’s fun! Hope everyone is safe and well and we’ll see you next week!

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!
