With only 10 shopping days left til Christmas, #DEEEMP is here to get you through the homestretch! This week’s episode of Degrassi is a largely uneventful one that focuses on Pat’s favorite punching bag, Mr. Mopsealot himself, Sean Cameron, but that doesn’t stop him and Rachel from having a lively discussion about everything from teenagers eating sushi to whether the Degrassi writers know what the phrase “down to Earth” really means. And, if that’s not exciting enough, our hosts manage to keep this thing pretty close to an hour long, so it won’t take you all damn weekend to listen to. It’s all killer, no filler on this week’s #DEEEMP, Broomheads, so kick back with 2 ozs of white wine and however many Schnapps you can handle and enjoy!

With the Holiday season in full swing, Degrassi brings a kind of throwaway episode that sees JT crushing on a teacher whose name was made solely to be mispronounced, while Jimmy and Spinner enter into a world of brutal honesty that ends with the not-so-shocking revelation that Spinner pisses on toilet seats. Rachel and Pat navigate the episode between melodica performances, deep Van Halen dives, and ceremonial burnings. It’s a great, #DEEEMPing time! Enjoy!

MERRY THANKSGIVING, BROOMHEADS! On this weeks Tangent: The Podcast (#DEEEMP), Rachel and Pat talk about everything from foot fetishes to Christmas songs and, pretty much, any other topic you could possibly think of. Oh, and Degrassi. They talk about Degrassi too. It takes a while, but they do!

On this week’s #DEEEMP, Rachel and Pat are here to help navigate Spike and Snake’s wedding in our longest episode yet! Hopefully, this one will help fill the void when we take next week off for Thanksgiving. There’s a lot to discuss here, from manufactured drama to the emergence of a true Degrassi star and even a bad, bad perm. We’re here for you, Broomheads! Happy Thanksgiving!

What’s up Broomheads! We recorded this week’s episode on the night of the midterm election before things were settled, so you can listen along as Pat has a full on meltdown. As for Degrassi, this was a pretty fraught episode that wasn’t always the easiest to talk about, but fear not, your favorite pals were up to the task. We extend our sincerest apologies, Florida.

This week on Degrassi: The Next Generation, Manny and Craig go on a date and have some different ideas about how it went. It’s like Rashomon, but with Canadian teenagers. Listen as Pat and Rach discuss all of it, plus “shipping,” the Halloween theme song, Manny’s full name, and a host of other fun topics on #DEEEMP!

This week on #DEEEMP, the heavy bones subside and are replaced by a Toby and Terri (TNT—DYNOMITE!) centric episode that allows Rachel and Pat to blather endlessly about the Auto Zone, the true mythology of witches (hint: they’re dentists), Silverchair, Ferris Bueller, and even Degrassi. Plus, we play a listener-suggested game that, in true #DEEEMP fashion, takes 20 minutes and goes off the rails almost immediately. In a text to Rachel after listening to the first edit of this episode, Pat said it was “PEERLESS,” which could mean a lot of different things, but have a listen and see if you agree!

Well, we’ve been asking for Degrassi: The Next Generation to go there and someone was listening (nearly two decades ago). In the go-thereiest episode thus far, Paige is front and center and Lauren Collins absolutely devastates in what may very well be the best acting the show has seen. We talk A LOT about this one, so carve out some time. It’ll be worth it.

Hey, Broomheads after a sick week we’re back with a brand new #DEEEMP and, boy, was this Degrassi episode... not great. But, that won’t stop Rachel and Pat from digging into it for almost an entire hour. Spinner’s farts, Ellie’s cartilage, and Ashley’s new haircut are all discussed, but the overwhelming specter of politics hang over us because, hey, it’s 2018 and that’s just life now. Enjoy!

It’s BONERDAY!!! On the latest #DEEEMP, Rachel and Pat discuss Spinner’s infamous granola boner, which leads to one of the most important discussions your two pals have ever had—which politicians have the saddest boners? Hint, hint: they’re all Republicans. All this and more on The Degrassi Every Ever Marathon Podcast!
