Stood in my kitchen making a sandwich at the end going "OH NO". Most dramatic sandwich.

Jazz

Ikr Tennessee born and bread. Or that Jonny cash was from Arkansas originally

Jonathan Ingram

I can't believe Dolly Pardon wasn't mentioned.

Tricia Shaffer sees dead armadillos in Raleigh

One correction is needed. Hank Williams senior Junior and the third. Alabama home grown. Yes they went to Nashville. But sweet home Alabama

Jonathan Ingram

Drink every time a Leif says "oh yeah"

River Brown

DAVIIID!!! ❤️

Petting dogs

I just realized she didn't bring her cigaretts.

Mrs White, in the Hall, with a Laser Saw!!

Oh god yeah. I walk around my house talking to myself like even older Leif. When I'm alone of course.

Mrs White, in the Hall, with a Laser Saw!!

David is easily becoming my favourite character

Radiant Audio

Caspar X Ava fans are happy to live off of crumbs but today have been gloriously fed 💜💜

MarshHag

Although I agree. She seems so lonely and sad. Her character has a wisdom that comes from a sad place that she’s trying to fill with her cooking. I know it’s all fictional stuff. But I genuinely feel bad for her character

Drought Breaker

Yeah I keep trying to find other podcasts but they are so corny. I know that this is science fiction, but the dialog is realistic. I feel if this were real these are the conversations they would be having.

Mrs White, in the Hall, with a Laser Saw!!

Yeah I thought Jeremiah should have offered one to the diner.

Mrs White, in the Hall, with a Laser Saw!!

I understand what Marguerite was saying when she talked about the diner and theater not being points of null entropy. But Chuck called the diner a point in null entropy. Also I really have a hard time picturing Casper cleaning the dusty diner after it whisks him away to Gerion 2 (spelling?).

Tricia Shaffer

Ava, you must rescue her. What was the plan!?!?

Blacksquirrel

Dolly would forgive him, so I can, too. 😆

Sour_yell

I said that about Dolly during Night Breakfast.

Mrs White, in the Hall, with a Laser Saw!!

No woman "needs" a man. No person "needs" another person. We should, be like Gloria, happy being single.

Mrs White, in the Hall, with a Laser Saw!!

Gloria could have fallen for the Scot!

Clementine's alter ego

I JUST REWATCHED THIS AND I ÑEED THE NEXT GODDAMN EPISODE RIGHT NOW 😭😭😭

Ankit invites you all to the Carne Asada

Curse you midnight burger for making grin like a dummy while at work ❤️

Kaizore

The laugh that accompanied it 😂😂😭

Ankit invites you all to the Carne Asada

I thought caspa was close to getting one from the cinema for a second !!

Eliza smyth

Or a pinball machine!

Ankit invites you all to the Carne Asada

Also, HELL YEAH DAVID!!!

Ankit invites you all to the Carne Asada

I can't wait for the inevitable "Ava alone" episode, I really hope there's a bit about her trying to cook for herself!

Slabz_mc_terpz

I think Gloria needs a man Is anybody else with me on this? She was about to settle for a motionless dinner and nothing else……..

Drought Breaker

He might be from an alternate universe Tennessee, he mentions music coming out of Memphis, not Nashville

Slabz_mc_terpz

I don't think the sister are calling as a distress call for help for themselves. I think they are calling to tell Casper to come inside out of the storm. Calling Casper into the egg filled with dragons where it is safe from the temperal weapon weilding villians

gathering of Bethany's drink from the water hole

Did anybody else scream out: “When one of them needs a jump!” after Paradise-Leif asked why you’d need 2 Cadillacs as they were about to jump?? Also—I NEED a Paradise spin-off à la Welcome to The Horizon!!

Dan Renk

Joe and Finlay having so much chemistry that their main characters are constantly accused of flirting, I love love 😂❤️

Vincent Krauss

THERE you are! I forgot the name so I searched for the words "Married" "Marry" and "Wedding" and hilariously none of those words are in your email so nothing came up. So sorry, we get a lot of email sometimes and I get buried in it. Emailing you back right now!

Midnight Burger

Right! I emailed months ago asking if I could pay to have Effie and Zebulon record an intro before the ceremony starts for my wedding next year but I didn’t hear back. After this episode I kinda wanna try again ‘cause it’d be so perfect!

47

Damn it. This show makes me cry in the best/worst way possible. 😭

Amanda Garcia

Loved hearing my tag in the credits!! I also love it when there are multiple Leaf’s. Even older Leaf is still my fav (RIP)

Drought Breaker

I love the Gloria snickers during Effie’s speech about the hero’s call to adventure. It’s so soft, but I loved it

DNICE

Two different David's moms, I believe.

Sarah Elkins

As someone who has lived in Tennessee my whole life, I loved the references! (Although Jeremiah not adding Dolly Parton to the list of musicians from TN is almost illegal here...) I went to college at UT of Knoxville and Jeremiah will be happy to know that the short film community up there is BOOMING. (Mr Yell has even won best script in one of the film festivals his director bestie entered!)

Sour_yell

Okay, I will sit out here alone in understanding that this was the direction that this crew needed to go in, but in absolute horror that David’s mom has now lost him twice.

Juniper

The reality of my name has really made these David-heavy episodes even more exciting for me, especially since I find that I relate to him A LOT and my father was also swept away by time when I was a kid. Wish he'd shop up in a transdimensional diner at some point too! Thank you for these stories. You're really adding a lot of colour to life for a lot of folks out there in this chaotic cosmos!

Damarin, known to the otters as Slippery Slope

So you got a david instead of a cat ❤️

Eliza smyth

Boiler of her grits, lol Great episode, so good, so freaking good..... This show is the best way to spend time on a plane! Looking for a used Earthshaker, anyone have a lead on one?

would_not _believe_me

Given the Cadillac analogy I can’t stop imagining putting a supercharger in the dinner. Plus I love that Effy and Zebulon are speed running marriage, imagine a sub thirty marriage.

DigitalFloofLostInTime

God, it’s been too long. This hit like Ava getting a cigarette. 🩵

Kyle

How much to get Zebulon and Effie to officiate my wedding i can no longer get married with out them doing it

Jose Zetino

DAVID YOU LITTLE AWESOME BRAT YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Ahem. Two thumbs up from the balcony, loved this one. Loved Jeremiah and Gloria talking and making tacos. Loved Marguerite and P.J.'s wedding, and the Background Music participating as Zeb & Effie did a speed-run ceremony! Loved ... and teared up and got all angsty... Casper saying good-bye to David. To be immediately made better by David stowing away! THE WOLVES ARE BACK WOOOO and there are PUPPIES and they missed GLORIA of course they did, and MOMMY IS GOING TO MESS UP SOME BAD GUYS and Leif and Leif kinda brain-melding that was faaabulous, and terrible fun movies, and Ava, you dummy, that was not a good plan, Mucklewains, make sure she doesn't get frozen in a chem-block somewhere, I just... Man, I loved this guys. I hated how close I was to believing it was ALL OVER NOOO but then I went NOOO they wouldn't do that to us but YAY WE HAVE LIFT-OFF and I guess Mungo just lives in Pasadena now, oh well. *giggling madly*

butterflykiki

Omg I was so heartbroken when they left… Thank Joe David made it!!

DNICE

*Inserts "Is it Though" sticker*

Midnight Burger

Oh thank GOD David made it!!!!!!!!

Sarah G

I like the idea of a 70s public bus being another central point of null entropy.

Danielknits

DAVID!!

Xx_RANSOM_xX

Also, it brings me great joy to find out that Ava named her car after mocking Gloria for being that type during the Boofar episode.

ReVibe

Please tell me that Neal and Julie did one of those "get ordained online" things to marry people before this episode. That would be amazing.

ReVibe

“We do what we want.” The best line.

Josh

OMG YOU GUYS IM BAWLING AT WORK WTF 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Marissa Lulling

I live on the puget sound!! It was so neat to hear where I'm from on midnight burger 🥹

BEANS!!

Just finished the episode and omg... I always forget how amAzing this podcast is a little bit by the next drop... I have been sitting at my table unmoving just listening for the last hour. Let's go get Ava! <3

Caitlin VdJ

I screamed the same and very much screamed it when Casper sent David home :'(

Caitlin VdJ

The ungodly screech of "jumpstart" I yelled when Paradise Leif said "when do you need two Cadillacs" omg. Absolutely the thing I needed as a pick me up before the work day started today

Mrunmayi Salil

I’M ON THE LIST, HELL YEAH 😭

potionmaestro

My girlfriend is far more intelligent than I am. I relate to Casper and the privileges he’s allowed.

Papitos

I must know if that “how’s that going by the way” line regarding the gabber was a last minute add 😬😭💀

Twinkletots

Joe! Finley! The rest! Thank you so much. This weekend has sucked and I haven't felt myself, I don't think any of us have. I had entirely forgotten that this morning was s drop day (night breakfast is a little past my bed time on a work night). I have been laughing like a lunatic on the bus for 20 minutes! Had to pause to come and thank you for giving us this amazing gift. Just the tonic of humor and escapism I needed today. Love you all!

Maggie's Yarm

The 15th is officially my favourite day of the month because I am, obsessed

Salazar, The Dough Mage

Omg! I was so sad that David wasn't there... Thank god! He's still here! And we're back up! Can't wait to see where you are going to take us next! You keep amazing me with your story writing, never in my life have I been this captured every single minute of it... I love this podcast and all of you actors so much... Thanks for making me happy! ❤️

Mirjam Pomper

Cave City watermelon really is the best. I love when y'all drop the Arkansas Lore.

Emilee with two Es

YEESSSSSS DAVID

J Burns

Amazing episode as always.... But oh my God the rollercoaster of emotions I just went through, I feel sick from the stress! Also don't know if anyone else agrees, but I think this podcast has ruined all other podcasts for me. I listen to other podcasts I follow and just get sad it's not Midnight Burger.

Tony! Toni! Toné!

CALLED THE ENDING!!! Hell yeah!

Kennedy

ZEBULON WAS BORN IN MY HOMETOWN :DDDDD

River Brown

How much do I love Jeremiah 💓

Christine Bryant-Simas

Haha, I love the movie callout in the artwork!

Sarah Elkins

Ooh the excitement is rampant

Blacksquirrel

Every episode hits me in a new way. Thank you Joe, Finlay, and every single cast member for the awe-inspiring talent.

Snorts MuhGorts

I love how it was right after my name :3

Em

Boofar Deez Nuts is gold, i fear

I'm pretty sure midnight Burger is just ''tacos al pastor'' (dont read out- pastor pronounced the Jesus kind of pastor thx Joe)
