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!

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!
