    Somehow, the episodes continue to get funnier each week. In this all-time classic, FG1 laughs the hardest he has since Scott was on the show, FG2 is CRAZY, DPJ is stalked, Celeste gets a performance review, and a new guest star appears. Topics include FG2's unwillingness to move on from the BHR, the story of Lamborama (again), rolls, and Blazers. Topics not included: Neil Boyle. Sorry, Neil.

    FG2 repeats a story almost as much as FG1 in this one-of-a-kind episode, featuring Tony Pasquesi, a.k.a. The Squeeze. The cast examines itself in the roles of Harry Potter, in which, FG2 is Harry Potter and FG1 is old. Jackson, while quite young, is ill and exhausted, and is losing his essence day by day, courtesy of the Dark Crystal (the title of the next BHR spinoff show). FG2 is the main character of every show and expects a letter from FG1 when she graduates, FG1 and The Squeeze have never been in a fight, and Celeste abandoned town because she had no one to enjoy her natural habitat with.

    The Blackhole is back for what could be FG2's final first episode. Fall episode 1 kicks off with structured discussion (thanks to Producer Guy), spoiler alerts (THIS WAS NOT MADE FOR KIDS), and maybe one of the hardest laughs in BHR history. Celeste and Black ditch the crew, and the team almost forgets Neil Boyle.

    FG1 is OLD. If you didn't believe it at first, watch today's episode as he tries to write Celeste A CHECK?!?!?!! For TWENTY DOLLARS?!?!! In other news, Celeste's life is full of boys and booze. In today's episode, she uses the Blackhole livestream as a mirror while she straightens her hair. FG2 shakes her head quite a bit for a 20 minute episode. She is angry but happy to be in Winona. The aftershow featured a drag race between FG1 and FG2.  It was quite apparent why FG2 gets speeding tickets. Hi to Neil Boyle.

    FG1, FG2, and Celeste catch up after a long hiatus for an impromptu summer episode discussing recent engagements, future engagements, relationship statuses, and Celeste's speeding tickets. FG2 has a new office, hates sand (so much it is unexplainable), and will be returning to Winona in a few weeks. Celeste simultaneously does and does not have a social life, works all the time, and drives too fast (because Winona is "too slow"). FG1 is old, bought a new lawnmower, and is NOT recording podcasts. Celeste and FG2 are the only active HCs. Special shoutouts to both Neil Boyle and José Dulak.

    The team returns with special appearances from Black and LP who only show up to live shows on even-numbered Wednesdays. FG2 is sick, Savannah has Celeste disease, and blind professors are proctoring exams. Discussions are had on people being angry (mostly FG2 but also Savannah), people being old (FG1), and people being annoying (that's everyone else). FG1 prepares to move into his new office while FG2 creates her evil scheme to get an office. Arguments are had over who is Hefel's favorite as everyone in the world fights for his attention and approval.

    In this week's episode of the Blackhole, Celeste joins early to discuss topics such as how she would NEVER drink hose water, loves to ride horses, and is excited to go tanning. FG1 is old and takes many naps - "If I lay down, it's death" - in his own words. FG2 is short and mad about some random stuff. She was also a tank of a child.

    This week's episode improved significantly from last week's. Cast members actually make an appearance. Founder Girl even smiled, maybe even laughed. FG1 still doesn't know how to use technology (probably because he's old), which makes FG2 angry (along with other things). Jackson and Jeff walk down the stairs, Savannah had a successful outing, everything is Office Space, and Hefel is, in fact, not Jackson's dad. Celeste is MIA. Matt Klosky appears. He is not nobody, and, therefore, is somebody.
