(BONUS #11) Wastin' Away at Topgolf: Season 8 (and The Lone Gunmen) in Gestation
This week we are doing something a little different and taking a look back at Season 8 and The Lone Gunmen as a whole! We argue about whether or not sloughing off all your skin would be relaxing or not, add Chris Owens to the Famous Chris ranking (naturally), wonder if we need to do a T2 bonus episode, discuss the pros and cons of Mulder and Scully as parents, and have a very controversial ranking of “Patience”. We rank the episodes, recommend a few The Lone Gunmen episodes, answer emails and questions, assemble a bingo card/drinking game for listening to our podcast, and each assemble our own Topgolf Fantasy team and pit them head to head. It gets pretty intense.Note: Check out our Topgolf Fantasy team poll on Instagram on December 5!Send us an email at [email protected] or follow us on Instagram!

S8 E21: "Existence Is Futile"
This week we are joining an alien cult to witness the birth of Scully’s baby while we discuss “Existence”! We’re talking aliens parachuting out of a ship in race cars like in The Fast and the Furious, Skinner getting karate chopped in the head in the goofiest way possible, whether or not we’re still on the Crane Train, how Doggett’s Topgolf crew has been defecting all year, how this is Reyes’ fourth rodeo, and the ridiculous amount of Baby Jesus references. We discuss Mulder warning Doggett about secret informants, wonder what The Lone Gunmen got Scully as a gift, and (some of us) get sad that they massacred our boy! Also: welcome to yet another William in a long line of Williams. You were apparently named after Scuba Bill and nobody else.Send us an email at [email protected] or follow us on Instagram!

TLG E12: "Never Meet Your Captain Tobys" & E13: "The Spies Who Went Into the Vault"
This week we are wrapping up The Lone Gunmen while we discuss “The Cap’n Toby Show” and “All About Yves”! We’re talking your classic hot dog mascot costume mixup, how grim it is that Jimmy is now living in their creepy warehouse with them, sexy spy fights, how we simply must stop making fun of Langly’s hair, and how we are now massive fans of the half-man half-crab Clarence the Crab. We have a hot debate on whether Morris Fletcher is fun to hate or just hateable, get sad that our Kimmy banishment didn’t work, get excited about the John Gillnitz cameo, want to see Fletcher really sleazing up a Backroom Boys meeting, wonder whether we’d rather spend a day with Fletcher or Kimmy, and get kind of sad that the show finally came into its own in the last episode. To be continued, my ass!Note: Please submit Season 8 and The Lone Gunmen questions by Friday November 22nd!Send us an email at [email protected] or follow us on Instagram!

S8 E20: "Eau de X-Files: The Essence of Scully"
This week we are attending a species reveal party for Scully’s baby while we discuss “Essence”! We’re talking Margaret and Scully getting into mortal combat, karate chop decapitation, fake “friends” and “family” at this baby shower, Doggett conducting Doggett Activities (watching NASCAR and cleaning his gun), the strengthening evidence of Mulder’s cat energy, and wonder who can look more sad: Mulder or Doggett? The answer may surprise you. We cheer on the awkward evidence guy, wonder whether Reyes is just able to fast travel now, wonder whether Scully had a special evening with Zeus himself, debate just how long Krycek would have stood in that hallway, get really excited about Agent Crane and his radical airport controller moves, and lose our minds about Mulder pulling out of a parking spot. It has to be seen to be believed.Note: Please submit Season 8 and The Lone Gunmen questions by November 23rd (or 23th)!Send us an email at [email protected] or follow us on Instagram!

TLG E10: "It Takes Three to Tango" & E11: "...And They Were Roommates!"
This week we are infiltrating a tango competition and tracking down blackmailing brothers while we discuss The Lone Gunmen episodes “Tango de los Pistoleros” and “The Lying Game”! We’re talking baby boy Schnauz, Frohike’s Miami trauma, how the only excitement these boys get is playing catch with toilet paper, how Ella summoned Kimmy back into existence, the Frojack, and secret tango pasts. We welcome back Skinner: the real star of the show, note that Byers has a type (mysterious blonde women with ugly sunglasses), theorize that Doggett is a big ellipsis guy, get really scared of Jimmy in a Skinner mask, celebrate Ally Byers, and answer the age-old question of whether Skinner would sleep with his clone. Also, we celebrate the show giving us the greatest Skinner line of all time: I’m taking your computer and shutting off your internet service. This is going to be the next big X-Files meme. Mark our words.Note: Please submit Season 8 and The Lone Gunmen questions by November 23rd (or 23th)!Send us an email at [email protected] or follow us on Twitter and Instagram!
