Listen as they try to make sense of the storylines and the over-the-top outfits, give all of the characters nicknames only you will understand, and try to place the topics into the current political and cultural climate.

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!

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!
