#136 - Internet Poisoning
We made an episode
01:49:4325/11/2024
#135 - Moral Outage
The internet has been restored on Homeworld and attention on the conflict between the Pink and the Pale has receded back to the niche echo chambers it had previously manifested. Space Pirate (and official Devil) Annabelle Blackbush is taking advantage of the stupor to make backroom deals on the black market and profiteer off the lunar conflict. And through all of this, Stan is now faced with a moral quandary.
01:40:0009/11/2024
#134 - High Freaktose Porn Syrup
Oops! Todd lost an episode so you're skipping one! In the last one we explored the romantic past between Stan and the space pirate Anabel. In this episode, we sort of do a Halloween special except not really. In keeping with the theme of the month, we look at sugar addiction and how it destroys lives. All that and a few tangents if you would just push play!
01:14:1401/11/2024
#132 - The Ballad of Pink Toni
Stan has had quite enough of all the stone-aged nonsense so he’s taking initiative and heading to the Pink to see what can be done. An old military pal is among the Homeworld expats living on the small moon and Stan suspects he’ll have some intel. But the last thing he expects is for the entire debacle to lead back to the venerated and revered figurehead of the Pinktonian people: Pink Toni! This disharmony between heavenly bodies is a far larger conspiracy than anybody first assumed, but what the hell are Tucker and Todd going to do about it?!
01:19:1622/10/2024
#131 - Better Help
In order to provide relief in the wake of the global internet shortage, world organizations are arranging outreach camps where affected individuals can seek resources. Naturally, this means a black market has surfaced to exploit the desperation of the downtrodden. Todd's gambling addiction in particular has been difficult to satiate and so the boys are in search of counselling. Luckily for them, Better Help is the hottest new service offering help for betters. But is something nefarious afoot behind the scenes?
01:27:1615/10/2024
#130 - The Pink Beyond the Pale
Tucker and Todd were actually on the cusp of accomplishing something productive when their respective addictions start calling. But some sort of internet outage is making it difficult for almost everyone in town to access their vices. Little does anyone realize that the trade routes from PlaNET to Homeworld have been shut down. A much larger issue is about to become everyone’s worst nightmare and send the entire planet into withdrawals!
56:4302/10/2024
#129 - A Most Sobering Octobering
We're back! We took the summer off and now we're as refreshed as two thirtysomething men with failing nervous systems can be! So we're here to tell stories again. And this time around, we'd like to discuss Addiction. We've hinted at Tucker and Todd struggling with various vices over the years but never shined a light on the depth of the issue. So this month while we take a break from some of our unhealthy habits, let us explore where they come from and what they look like on the Outside!!!!
54:5230/09/2024
#128 - Nickers and Neigh-bors
A year ago we made a list of mashups between subgenres that we don't often see paired together. One of our favorite combinations off that list was Fantasy-Western. Brickwork and thatched-roof fairytale towns plagued with bank robbers and cattle rustlers. A medieval civilization in its Wild West era. Six-shooters and spellcraft. So in this episode we do a bunch of worldbuilding!
01:36:3612/06/2024
#127 - How the Who Stole Grinchmas
We all know the story about the Grinch who got bumped off course to his home and ended up raised in a village of hedonistic Whos. But what happened to the baby Who girl bumped off her course? Where did she end up? What is her story? We’ll find out in this episode.
01:35:3707/06/2024
#126 - Would a Bear Shit on a Pope?
So two episodes back we brainstormed ideas for skits inspired by the #manorbear thought experiment. This week we recorded the dialogue for the skits we wrote. It's a bit of a silly, giggly mess but we had a lot of fun so we hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
01:34:0724/05/2024
#125 - Sugar & Bones
A couple years ago, Todd was eating a bowl of Jell-o and observed that it was sort of insane to just eat a soup of sugar and bones, given that gelatin is boiled animal bits. Tucker observed that this was metal as hell. And thus was born Sugar & Bones the band, a blistering blues-metal duo who accidentally received possessed rock instruments as the result of a bungled Crossroads deal. In this episode, we flesh them out a bit more and brainstorm a concept for their upcoming third album!
01:33:5315/05/2024
#124 - 3rd Anniversary Special - Origin of Stan
We've been doing this for 3 years! So to celebrate in Snideful tradition, we discuss the lore of one of our main cast of characters. This year we're talking about our favorite grumpy, colorful, stuffed bear: Stan! We'll talk about his birth on the Isle of Misfit Toys, his journey to Bearville, and the life he lived in the Outside before he was magicked into realspace!
01:30:3308/05/2024
#123 - Man or Bear
This week Todd made an account on Threads and spent a lot of time observing the thought experiment regarding the relative safety of an average bear vs an average man. Tucker noticed the debate spilling over into YouTube video essays and so we figured we'd try to make some humor out of the whole thing. We concoct a handful of skits about men, bears, predators, mad honey, and scheiße porn. All that and bearly anything more!
01:26:4204/05/2024
#122 - Wheel Talk
It's the finale episode of Season 7! Tucker and Todd have been putting off writing their comic book all season but the battle raging throughout the Keep of the Code has finally provided them with the downtime to make some progress. They walk through the outline of their epic tale and discover some improbable coincidences between its plot and the harrowing events they've trudged through since Jay left. We tie up all the loose threads and plant the seeds for the second half of the Zodiac Saga!
01:34:0725/04/2024

And Galter wants to take advantage of that ancestry to escape to the Outside.

01:38:4018/04/2024

Through some absurd confluence of events, it seems Jordy Puppetson may have the presidency in the bag. Elsewhere, Galter the Gray is about to cross two hells of a path. Meanwhile in the Outside, Thinos is closing in on the Pinkmanian macguffin which will unlock the Zodiac and unleash the eldritch gods of storytelling. But the Keepers of the Alphanumeric Code are hot on their heels.
01:32:0511/04/2024
#119 - Bemusement Park
Thinos and his ramshackle collection of fanatics, Fantasology cultists, and BE Agency goons are doing their best to follow the signal given off by their ancient Pinkmanian gizmo. But somehow it's led them to one of the BEA's own joint projects with Auntie Imperialism: a Bemusement Park designed to syphon confusion out of human visitors on Homeworld and store it as psionic energy for their nefarious schemes. Little do our baddies know, Tucker and Todd have also arrived in the Outside for a meeting with Dad and Mylo. Their chaotic energy is surely interfering with the Pinkmanian dowsing rod, but that can only mean Thinos will soon be on his way to the Keep of the Alphanumeric Code!
01:40:5030/03/2024
#118 - The Monsterian Candidate
After weeks of coaching and training, Jordy Puppetson is finally ready for his first press rally. An entire media circus has turned up and all eyes are on the would-be President.

01:22:5514/03/2024

01:35:3007/03/2024
#116 - This One Has 'Sexy' in the Title
In this episode, Jay has traced a clue to an information desk but hasn't the first clue that she's about to run into the mother of all information dumps. Meanwhile, Galter the Grey is finally taking steps to polish the turd that will become their Mashurian Candidate. And elsewhere in the Outside, the voice in Thinnos' head is summoning more pawns into the fold.
01:08:4824/02/2024
#115 - Unthinished Business
Returning to the episodic plot of Season 7. In this third episode of the season,

01:25:4717/02/2024
#114 - Relapse
Oops! We're back. Todd decided to quit being a whinging pusso and climb back in the saddle. So here we are attempting to resurrect our media empire. We had a number of projects bouncing around in our heads unrelated to Tucker and Todd so we used this first episode back to practice talking again and flesh out some of those ideas. We invite you to join us!
01:23:1617/02/2024
#113 - Destiny, Manifest
Finally accepting their newfound independence, Tucker and Todd resign themselves to developing their new omnipotent comic book villain. Little do they realize their brainstorming is flapping butterfly wings in another dimension. Meanwhile in the same dimension but just slightly elsewhere on the planet, CongressJudge Deedee Megadoodoo is cooking up a new scheme to wrest control of the Homelandian people.
01:30:3524/11/2023
#112 - Straight Outta Hometown
It's the premiere episode of Season 7! At the end of last season, Straight Woman parted ways with Tucker and Todd, leaving them aghast and agape and deep in denial.

Perhaps they can point her in the direction of answers...

All that and only a little bit more as we storyboard this Season 6 premiere of The Tucker & Todd Show!
01:26:4013/07/2023
#100.1 - The Rest of the Story So Far
We got a bit carried away with the level of detail we were expanding into throughout the previous episode and only made it about 3/5 of the way through the timeline.
This time around we do our best to expedite the process and sail through the back end of the timeline leading up to our current season (we're starting Season 6 next week).
If you're just joining us and want to get caught up with the plot, you can skip the first 99 episodes and just scrub through these two. See you for the next recap in Episode #200!!!
01:06:5706/07/2023
#100 - The Story So Far
Last month we celebrated our 2 Year Anniversary and decided that our official tradition would be generating and developing origin stories for our main characters. At the same time, we decided that for every hundred episodes, we'd do a recap of the story.
This episode marks our 100th storyboarding session in the Snideful Writers' Room so Todd made a list of all the major plotlines on our timeline since we set out. In this episode, we run through the first 3/5 of that list. In the next we'll finish them off.
01:37:5427/06/2023
#099 - Tucker and Todd Make a Tier List
In the last episode, we concluded storyboarding the fifth season of our animated series. The episode following this one marks our 100th episode of the main podcast feed. So we didn't want to wedge a milestone episode between two storyboarding eps. So this week we're trying something new. We think the "Tier List" template is rife with possibilities for our particular brand of humor and/or commentary. To start off, we rank our current favorite ideas of tier lists to make moving forward. Is this good content for the audio version of the podcast? I guess we'll find out.
53:4323/06/2023

01:37:1923/05/2023

Little does she know that the culprit will soon become her most trusted companion and play a pivotal role in the forming of a witch’s coven that will survive millennia. Which is only too convenient because when present Dawn eventually finds her way back to Earth in realspace, several of the sisters of the Coven of Dawn are only too prepared to aid in her return to power.
