Dirty Pair: Project P.O.D.

A strange energy is in the air during this recording as we get back to the business of talking about Dirty Pair. And what better way for us to knock the rust off of our somewhat atrophied podcasting muscles than to tackle a story of love, loss, and desperation. And a hyper-intelligent Nazi mouse. Really it's mostly about the Nazi mouse. I mean, if you ran into something like that you'd probably talk about it, right? We thought so too, and so we spend some time unpacking the weird security system at the heart of this episode.

We finally managed to read a calendar properly, so when you hear that the next episode will arrive on October 19th, you can be confident that it will, in fact, arrive on October 19th. I'm really calling my shot here, I hope nothing bad happens to me.

We near the halfway point of this podcasting venture with a splendid little episode about being overworked, the damage that can do to your relationships, and the importance of vacation. Also, the cops are shit - it wasn't until doing this podcast that I realized how poorly they do their job throughout this series, but it sure has become a recurring theme.

Kei and Yuri hate kids, love parties, tolerate their boss-dad Gooley, and at the end of the day, no matter what happens, they have each other. Spirits willing and the creek don't rise, you'll have a new episode of this podcast to listen to on October 5th.

Here we are once again for another episode of Dirty Pair, and this time we spend a lot of time being angry about monarchies in general and one specific prince, whom Kei and Yuri have to get back to his homeworld before a dastardly drug-dealing duke puts his divine right to rule to the ultimate test. Do things go smoothly? Of course they don't. Does Yuri get a face-full of Kei's ass? You bet she does! Does one of our podcast hosts - I won't spoil which one - go on a rant and wish misfortune upon a twelve year old child?

Well, you'll just have to listen to find out.

Thank you as always for listening; next episode releases September 21, and we're all very excited about it.

Shucks howdy pardn'r, welcome to this here podcast 'bout that there Dirty Pair. This time we travel to a mysterious planet full of Sergio Leone tropes to watch as the Lovely Angels turn their prodigious skills towards resolving a conflict between warring crime families who threaten to disrupt the production of a powerful energy source! Everything goes totally according to plan, for sure, and nobody makes any catastrophic mistakes and the planet definitely does not blow up at the end.

Well, probably, maybe.

The great deceiver would have you believe that the next episode releases today, but the next episode clearly can't do that as this episode releases today. The next episode will actually find its way to you on September 7th. Don't forget!

Oh wow, oh wow do we have an episode this time. It's got everything you could want in it: an audio clip from a different show, the most oblique reference to Sincere Engineer that I could think of at the time, and far more discussion of Metal Gear than I remember having, but I guess that sneaks up on you. You wanna know what makes a woman explode? Don't we all. Does this episode of Dirty Pair answer that question? It depends on whether you think they're roommates or roommates (oh my god they were roommates).

Look, all I'm saying is... joint bank account. Also that I said the next episode would come out August 10th, which as we all know is today and also when this episode released. I never said I was good at reading the calendar. Thank you once again for listening to this podcast, which I deeply enjoyed recording and editing together. We will meet again in a fortnight (not in Fortnite), which is otherwise known as August 24th.

We've made it to episode 7, which means we've made it to The Episode You Probably Heard About. In celebration, we've prepared our longest discussion yet on just what makes this episode stand out from every other episode of Dirty Pair thus far (and moving forward, honestly). Kei and Yuri do a cool dance, there's a song about hamburgers, someone does an Interstellar on purpose, and above all, we find out if two crazy kids can make it in this mixed up world of ours.

Also, we had to uh, drop the audio quality a step or two on this one so it came in under the size limits that we're working with on Acast. Wasn't expecting that to ever come up as an issue but, well, here we are! Hopefully it still sounds good (I checked; it does still sound good).

Our next episode will appear as if by magic on August 10th! Thanks for listening!

We return once more, or perhaps we don't and this podcast is merely a decoy! The only way to know for sure is to listen to see if this podcast explodes at some point, that's the real one! Things get complicated for the Lovely Angels as they encounter a childhood friend while on a dangerous mission to lead some pirates astray and maybe deliver some kinda prism stone to some other kinda wild-looking space station. Kei remembers a guy who sucks, Yuri does her nails, Mughi makes a quiche. One of these things ends in disaster! All these things and more are discussed on this week's (fortnight's?) episode of Dirty Pair: Project P.O.D!

Thank you again for listening, and please ignore the deceitful decoy who would have you believe that the next episode releases on the 20th, their words are lies; pay them no mind. We'll see you back here for Episode 7: The One Everyone Knows, if They Know One Episode on July 27th. Not the 20th. Who would even make that kind of mistake?

You might think that I was on vacation and sat down in the midst of this to edit together this podcast and you'd be RIGHT. Coming in as hot as it's ever come in, episode 5 contains another brief Gundam digression, some tips on the building and painting of plastic models, and, of course, a whole lot of talk about Criados and the heartbeat of Criados. How determined is Kei to go on a date (Very Determined)? How will Yuri handle Kei's determination (with patience and grace, probably)? And just what is the song of the summer?

Oh, and something happens to Nanmo.

I know that I say in the episode that the next episode of the podcast drops July 6, but obviously that isn't true! The next episode doesn't drop until July 13! It's almost like we recorded a batch of these episodes and I was reading the calendar wrong the entire time. Ah, well, eventually we'll reach the end or I'll stop making the mistake of trying to say when these things publish ahead of time. Until then, dear listeners, until then!

I'll not sugarcoat it: we spend an inordinate amount of time talking about throwing an apple core into the trash in this episode. It's good talk, though, so I won't hear any complaints. If apple cores going into trash cans isn't your thing, however, never fear! We also talk about thumb wrestling, cheesecake, gender reveals, and the ethics of biotech.

Well, sort of, anyway. In context.

Oh, and don't worry - Mughi gets the proper amount of respect and praise in this episode as a giant cat who knows how to use the toilet deserves. Which is to say, a lot of respect and praise.

Speaking of things you shouldn't worry about, there's some kinda audio crunchiness with Paul's vocals a couple times here, but he cleaned it up pretty nice so maybe you didn't even notice it until I said something about it! Whoops!

You there, what day is it? Why, it's new Project P.O.D. Day! The day where we deliver unto you the final episode from our first marathon recording session, which means that this one took a little extra time to edit because there were a lot more protracted silences as we attempted to hold onto our scattered thoughts and not just say UHHHHHH a lot (we failed). But we persevered, and have delivered unto you this hot and ready episode all about the mysterious Golem Chip and Kei and Yuri's interrupted vacation plans. Much like this podcast, episode three is where the show really starts to come into its own, and we get a real action-packed episode with some satisfying twists and turns. Come for the casino intrigue, stay for Kei's seductive bait, the girls establishing they operate on the "dibs" system, Yuri's poker skills, a wrestling match, Mughi and Nanmo providing the best backup possible and (most importantly) the noise Kei makes when Yuri rips her dress off! Oh, and I guess there's some weird old fortune teller who's probably not important.

Next episode we'll be discussing "The Case Smells Like Cheesecake and Death!" These episode titles really are the best in the business. Pod drops on June 15, please look forward to it.
