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!

Happy 5th of July, Broomheads! To celebrate, Rachel and Pat got together to dish about Sean’s hat, Sean’s shop teacher, and, perhaps most importantly, Sean’s ex, Amy. There’s also sea shanties, ska talk, and the return of Bob Hoskins. It’s a fun one! Enjoy!

Broomheads! #DEEEMP is back, with either the best show we’ve ever done or the worst one. We’re honestly not sure. Paige and Spinner are attempting to Ferris Bueller (or, to be more specific, Cameron Frye) Ashley out of her sad sack stupor, while Snake’s family learns his cancer fate. We’ll be off next week, so listen to this one slowly!

Hey, Broomheads! Rachel and Pat are back on #DEEEMP to discuss an all-time great Degrassi moment—JT’s french fry commercial, of course!—and the episode that surrounds it. We also meet Marco’s parents for the first time and, well, it’s... something. Oh, and Arnold Schwarzenegger stops by to sing some of his favorite emo songs, so you either don’t want to miss it or you DEFINITELY want to miss it. There’s really no in between.

Hey Broomheads! Rachel and Pat are back on #DEEEMP to dissect the epic battle of the bands between Craig’s Downtown Sasquatch and the Ashley-led Hell Hath No Fury. It’s a classic that we’ve dubbed a “steering wheel” episode, and if you’re interested to find out what that means (or about the placement of celebrities on the old Match Game panel), get to listening!
