Episode 0.039: Rugrats In The Rhubarb
(46 MB; 1:40:37 MIN)
You'd think Doctor Despicable was finished with plant experiments after the JC Parrigin's fiasco, but nooo... we go to Eggleston, the Pie Capital Of The United States, where Doc has treated the rhubarb fields with a little something special. The local kids love it so much, they fall under its spell and begin worshipping some manner of mutation living amongst the rhubarb... Taliesin discusses creepy juvenile bloodsuckers, courtesy of Taliesin Meets The Vampires.

WHAT DID YOU DO TO DR. DESPICABLE?
Major bodily harm for Zombie Astronaut is fine. He's already dead (and doesn't have working lungs). But Dr. Despicable is very much alive and has a LOT of work to do!
You can't go around disemboweling him and then munching on his intestines.
This is not acceptable. I'm very very disappointed in you ZA.
And, I need the address to send the Get Well card and flowers.

Relax! The Metagalactic Pizza guy dies just about every time he's in the podcast, and even Bob Wolfenbridgen got squashed to death once, and that didn't stop him from coming back. Besides, Doc not only didn't die, but he's got all that experimental surgical equipment he loves using. Here's another opportunity!
I'd also like to mention I've been very polite and not munched on any of my cohorts brains (yet), but when you literally throw your guts at me, being a zombie, I'm gonna have to eat them. It's only fair.

The Metagalactic Pizza guy and Bob Wolfenbridgen are secondary characters. Also, I always assumed the Pizza guy was a clone It makes sense for an intergalactic pizza organization to have clones. I also imagine the Pizza headquarters to look like the Death Star.
I know you took a headshot in the Zombie Picnic podcast (a wound whose long term effects ((or lack thereof)) have yet to be explained).
BUT, disemboweling Dr. D at the end of the podcast was just as emotionally disturbing as seen Han Solo encased in carbonite. And I'm not even much of a sci-fi fan, it's just the best metaphor I have for a beloved character placed in peril.
Any harm that is headed in Dr. D's way should be deflected to a side character or to ZA, someone who can take it. Dr. D should be protected by his own genius and sheer chance. He's only human for Pie's Sake!

Now, now, my boy - never fear! Well, not in this case, though there are some situations in which fear is certainly called for. You've simply been taken in by Radio Magic! Merely the result of my own splendid acting, special radio make-up and the right sound effects. No real harm done - and as soon as Lobo returns with a compatible kidney donor, I'll be right as rain (some of that make-up is rather arduous to apply)! Really there's no need for cards or flowers. Not when you can send cash. I also accept Visa, MasterCard, PayPal and pie-related gift cards (no rhubarb, please, I've had enough of that for a while; perhaps a nice Key Lime; or cheesecake...). I appreciate your concern, but after almost 40 podcasts, I was due for a squashing.
Despicably Yours,
Dr D

I haven't hear anything interesting since the last time I heard an excellent mystery audio book years back! I really enjoyed this eposides and the ones you made me smile. *thumbs up* In other words... Don't give up!

Astronaut Linda -
I'm glad you're enjoying the podcast! We've been having a lot of fun recording them, so as long as people keep listening to them we'll keep cranking them out.

Where can I pick up a CD by the Von Martinez Experience?

That's a good question! Send me lots of money and I'll figure it out later.
