Updated for new season


The latest story arc of season 1 began on June of 2021, so now's as good a time as any to start listening.

to:

Season 1 of the podcast ended in October of 2021, after 113 episodes. Season 2 began in July of 2022. This season takes place in an alternate version of The latest story arc City, the otherwise-unnamed metropolis from Season 1. It focuses on a news crew working for City Action News (or CAN for short), as they investigate a seeming conspiracy centered around The Gottle Company, an agrochemical corporation with access to resources that may not be of this world. While the setting for season 2 is a version of The City from season 1, no knowledge of season 1 began on June of 2021, so now's as good a time as any to start listening.

* AluminumChristmasTrees: A subtle example, but Gerald Fingerson's apparent fondness for cashew chicken is an actual reference to a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cashew_chicken#Springfield-style_cashew_chicken variant of cashew chicken]] from Springfield, Missouri, the home of the podcast creators. It differs from the original recipe in that it's [[DeepFriedWhatever deep-fried]].

Ambiguous Disorder is not a trope anymore, but a redirect to a YMMV entry.


* AmbiguousDisorder: We just don't know what the hell is wrong with Keith. Luke, Keith's player, says that he [[TheLoonie prefers to play characters with bizarre behaviors]], and that [[TrollingCreator Keith is comparatively normal compared to some of his previous characters]].
