Listener Suggestions and Shout Outs

• Bluesky
• Chris Lloyd - The tom sawyer reference in the brohnopsis is because he goes to his own funeral in the book
• Email!
• Rob Roberts
• Another great season of R+M. I cannot imagine a life without this amazing podcast to go to after each episode. Many thanks!
• I'm a sucker for the more sentimental episodes like "Field of Dreams" and "Ricks Days, Seven Nights", so I loved the finale. I can't wait to hear which are your favorite episodes this season. For what it's worth, Jer Bud (w/ the return of Snowball) was one of my least best episodes. However, I went back and watched it again recently and found it more entertaining. The Jerry part of the story is just so good. His line "You are ALL my wife now!" was so reminiscent of the time he said, "I'm the Jesus Christ of Christmas!" So funny!
• Two things before I close:

1. Thank goodness for the return of the pool!
2. I was so glad to hear neither of you remembered where the Mr. Poopy Butthole saga left off. I too was clueless during the close. I gotta go back (or I will just wait for Unity to chime in during the next podcast).

• Thanks for all you do!

If you've done everything and gone everywhere, he eventually just lets new odd things play out. He also specifically points out when HE feels him and morty are truly screwed, implying to me at least he lets a lot of stuff simply play out while having the ability to just end anything and everything

From Mike van Dooyeweert (DOY-uh-vayrt)

Hi Travis and Brondon,

Something that didn't even cross my mind while watching, but only when you were started talking about it: could the whole 'drug lab', the barrels and especially the opening sequence be a nod to Breaking Bad?

The cold open did, in hindsight, remind me of the cold opens you'd often see on Breaking Bad, especially in the seasons with the underground lab.

Greetings from the Netherlands

From Ranma:

I once again want to ask if you are going to review the comics and not just a general one but an issue by issue review. i bring this up because Jerry in this rickuiem mort a dream reminded me so much of the comic version. we all know that early seasons Jerry would have ran and never look back yet here he goes full in in trying to help and only panics in the end. Jerry Smith the phil dunphy/jack carter of the rick and morty universe.

Episode Details

• Air Date: 7/12/2026
• Written by: Heather Anne Campbell
• Directed by: Douglas Einar Olsen
• Guest Stars: Bill Camp, Andy Serkis

Broh-nopsis: Hold still broh. It'll make you nice broh.

Our Synopsis: It's hard to see the world through other's eyes, unless you have a brain parasite.

Discussion

• Title Reference: Requiem for a Dream - Movie (2000)
• Themes (A/B Plot): Empathy Bug (Sympathid) — Rick's chasing personal happiness and Morty isn't helping; Jerry Cosplaying as a Serial Killer — Rick sends Summer and Jerry shopping, Jerry ends up having tea with a killer

Favorite Bits

• Rick's apartment gags: reading Being and Time, the bedroom wall of Abredolf Lickler and Dr. Xenon Bloom, the butt food dispenser, farting alien earbuds
• Morty wrecking Rick's distillery for a ride to buy Pokemon cards (and the portal later dropping a pack right back)
• Rick's credit card blocking Jerry's purchases
• The sympathid/empathy effect throughout — the empathy montage, the Dancing with the Stars bit (real dancing, fake trust), Rick and Morty swapping ship seats depending who has empathy
• Jerry's full serial-killer turn as "The Birthday Butcher," with a metaphorical parent-kill double and a quadruple-kill twins joke
• The drum-hoarding subplot — Jerry wants to save the girl, Summer just wants the drums — plus the bus bully and the paycheck-to-paycheck irony
• Random Jessica sighting in history class, "Miss Under-stood," the jar of wallets on the fridge
• Morty's empathy whiplash — sympathizing with an explosion, then losing all empathy right after
• The unhinged police standoff — the negotiator, "his juice is coming out," "I want a hug" then gunshots, an entire police force out of bullets
• Rick killing the parasite with vodka

Best/Worst Parts

• Opening sequence as a whole
• The stark scene change when the sympathid is removed (and turns out giant)
• Morty and the teacher post-credits bit, including the shushing

• "If we're in the writers' room and Heather starts to giggle before a pitch, then you know you're about to hear either, 'What if they all killed themselves?' or something that's going to make you go, 'Jesus, Heather!' It genuinely starts with her giggling. She derives joy from that."

Listener Suggestions and Shout Outs

• Matt Hart - Rick and Morty season 9 is back and what a killer episode to kick it off. The Return of Evil Morty! But, what do you think about the lack of Evil Morty tune?
• @caryw.7626 - How could you talk about the baddie they fight together and not mention The Borg? My thought when it showed up was, oh are they really borging this? Then I realized I don't think there have ever been any borg-like aliens they've had to fight. Hive type, yes. Assimilation type, yes. But none specifically came so close to the borg till this one.
• Generational_Pi - Infinite Universes seems narrow when it comes to family dynamics…
• Scary Terry did a decent job predicting the new episode

I'm sure you've seen the Kickstarter for the Rick and Morty Butter Bot and so I reached out to Albert Gajšak, CEO of Circuit Mess, to chat about his purpose and how Circuit Mess and Geek Club are focused on success.

• This is ALL pertinent news, today! If you haven't checked it out yet, head over to the Kickstarter to watch videos, see what modules they're planning to add, and, frankly, to see how cool this little thing is!

Hey everyone! This is Brandon for Apathetic Enthusiasm and Interdimensional RSS. I wanted to let you know that we’ll be taking a hiatus for some undetermined amount of time. Maybe a week, maybe a month, maybe a year, but whatever time, not forever. 

The reason I’m giving you this message and not Travis is because he’s spending precious time with his wonderful family. They recently found out that his oldest daughter, Allie, was diagnosed with Precursor B-Cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. 

So to relieve him from the pressure of making him record all the time, because I’m definitely the one making him do this all the time, we’re going to take a little break. I may push out some content on my own, he may drop in, but it’s important for me to support him and his family (and to keep him off of this microphone for a minute)

If you want to support his daughter Allie and Travis’ family, there is a gofundme set up. There’ll be a link in the show notes, but you can also google Allie Menard. She’s the top search result there, and it’s for a good reason. She is an amazing kid and she has an amazing family.

There’s also an Allie needing money for court fines… that is a different Allie.

On behalf of Travis and his family, thanks for all your, positive thoughts, prayers, and support!

Gofundme: https://www.gofundme.com/f/xj842s-support-allies-fight-against-leukemia
