It's time to crash a wedding, y'all. But not just any wedding, the six day festival celebrating some evil (okay, maybe not evil but definitely imperialist) fail son who can't even get past a yellow belt in karate. Hold onto your togas, it's gonna be a bumpy ride!

Come for the last bit of recon before shenanigans ensue, stay for the ensuing shenanigans! Also, Mackie the Court Eu**ch makes his first appearance and boy is it a doozy.If you enjoy the mildly unhinged antics of Stardaddy and his band of merry ma...

Guess who has nine thumbs and just discovered the bodies of some suspiciously radioactive space monster hunters?

Alright, we've been stalling long enough. Time to see what eldritch space horror could be lurking behind this incredibly open, visibly unguarded door. I'm sure it will be fine.If you enjoy the mildly unhinged antics of Stardaddy and his band of me...

It's party splittin' time!

Have you been missing a good ol' fashioned split party spy thriller experience? Well this week we have got two, count 'em two missions improbable just for you. First, Mackie and Auggie kick off a competent approach to dismantling a pre-tech jammin...

Sh*t's about to get lit! Probably, maybe, I mean CB is up to something and the last few times CB has been up to something explosions pretty reliably follow after. Meanwhile, Team B makes one kiwi-voiced pleasure bot very happy indeed. In unrelated news, the crew of the Irish Goodbye is mysteriously plagued by a large tentacled creature with an indeterminate number of suppurating side holes and a pair of bazongas you wouldn't believe.

Y'all, this week we get into some real high powered, metal album cover, Fast and Furious, yippee kiyay, action s**t. Hold onto your mother-truckin' seats as the squishiest parts of Team Meatbag do something real dumb but real cool. Pick your jaw up off the floor as Hopper is nearly Terminator 2'd. And definitely strap in for some of Stardaddy's grossest battle descriptions. It's a fun one, is what I'm saying here.

It's time to recruit some allies! Or, well, it's time to intentionally meet some of the locals and hope they don't knock us out and steal our s**t. I mean, we wouldn't even blame them and Augie could always use a few more neurosis amiright?

Exploration is back on the menu, boys! With Mackie and CB headed back to check up on the shuttle, Hopper embarks on a bit of solo scrounging.

Also, we've got a great big announcement this week which means a longer than usual intro! We hope you'll give it a listen but just in case you're jonesing for the next bit of action ASAP, you can fast forward to about the 17 minute mark. (PS: The announcement is a potential new show *insert whatever emoji connotes concerned excitement*)

With plans to deal with those pesky space pirates firmly set, Team Meatbag hits the hay secure in the knowledge that nothing could possible derail their elaborate ploy. See if you can predict what happens next. If you guessed first contact with the theoretically cannibalistic locals, then either you are great at picking up on foreshadowing or you really need to stop bugging our recording sessions.

As Stardaddy wonders just how many red flags it takes for Team Meatbag to look for a safer location to spend the night, CB splits off from the main party and investigates a derelict freighter. Meanwhile, Augie leads Mackie, Hopper, and their "army" of robots on a deeper investigation of the sink hole-ridden Control Center.

So if you get stranded on an alien planet with no food, no shelter, and the potential to stumble into a camp of cannibals at any moment, what are you gonna do? Keep exploring, obviously! This week Team Meatbag bravely ignores their grave situation in favor of fat pre-tech loots and/or a place to hole up for long enough to avoid the space pirates above.

This week Team Meatbag discovers the price of being friendly to strangers in space. Oh, and also we get to do more exploring, which is still very neat and definitely not overshadowed by the big oopsy we may be responsible for after sharing rudders without a background check.

This week we get down to business exploring a whole new planet full of pre-tech ruins. What happened to this civilization? Who were they and what can we learn about the catastrophe that cut them off from the rest of our sector? What kind of weird flora and fauna will we discover and can we eat any of them? If you've ever dreamed of being on the Away Team, this arc is most definitely for you!

Y'all, it's time for some bona fide exploration! This week the crew of the Irish Goodbye makes landfall on Cuatlicue One and call me crazy, but I think they might just manage to leave this ol' rock at least as decayed and abandoned as they found i...

27/03/2023

We've got a brand new solar system to explore and by-gummit, we're gonna explore it!

Still reeling from their recent loss, Team Meatbag cautiously explores the uncharted Cuatlicue system. A surprising discovery interrupts plans to check out one of the previously inhabited planets and CB uncharacteristically advises discretion. If...

Y'all, this one is a very special episode and it turned out such a wonderful little encapsulation of what we do as a show

Man, this week is a big one. Three years ago we started recording this shout into the void, just five Memphis nerds and the insane urge to make other people listen to our silly voices. Since then we've weathered a pandemic, lost and gained jobs, a...

We finally got an animal companion! And we are definitely not selling him to that kitchen like we planned, ok guys?

With the results of CB's cattle rustlin' at least partially in their rear viewport, Team Meatbag attempts to evade a new threat. Meanwhile, CB gets her brand new bestie situated in the shuttle bay and Augie shows off his super prestigious flight ...

What happens when you've got a perfectly nice planet full of charming villages and big giant cow creatures then add one standard group of PCs? Let's just say it starts with Stamp and ends with ede.

At least we all hit our goals and got those sweet, sweet experience points!

Whelp, if you've listened this far then you know that C.B.'s done it again. And by it, I of course mean encouraged a heard of giant space cows to invade the perfectly nice town of absent landlords in an effort to assuage her insatiable appetite fo...

This week we take an important stand against anti-cyborg bigotry:

Hey, remember that crazy, paradigm shattering thing that Mackie and Hopper brought up at the very end of last week's episode? Yeah, we're gonna kick off with a bit more of that. Meanwhile, Anton and CB field an intriguing offer at the seediest bar...

Y'all, we made it to our 100th episode and ho-ly monkeys is it a good one! We are so incredibly thankful to our listeners and community members for being a part of this silly little project. We do this thing because we're all super into the sound of our own voices, of course, but it sure does give us a boost to know there's folks out there listening.

That's right, folks, it's episode 100! We've got a real girthy one for you today so strap in! We kick things off with our usual brand of highly professional intro followed by a truly heartwarming round of messages from some of our fav listeners. ...
