WE’RE BACK and N*tflix be damned. Did anybody else thoroughly not enjoy that adaptation? We’re gonna dive into the Tencent version next and pray for justice.
This week, in an archived episode from before we took our little TV-adaptation break, Alley experiences dissonance at hot yoga when no one can 🕉 in harmony, Brett doesn’t believe people’s pineal glands are calcified (Alley thinks the government is doing it*) (*allegedly), Alley dons a quintuple-ply tinfoil hat, and presents a pretty convincing argument that this year’s Super Bowl was rigged….because Capitalism.
BIG IF TRUE meets MOMMY in BIG IF TRUE, MOMMY, and………. Russia’s got America spooked again. Did anybody else watch Leave the World Behind? 😬
And then back in our Recap of Cixin Liu’s Hugo-Award Winning, Runaway-Cosmic-Bestselling Series The Three-Body Problem, we follow failed former President and Wallfacer Rey Diaz as we finish up Part II “THE SPELL” of book II (The Dark Forest), and we take a head-first dive into the fading glimmers of the light of Humanity’s Golden Age.
Here we go…

THANK THE LORD 👽 the time has finally come. Alley and I have been waiting, eagerly, desperately waiting to see if ultimately we love or hate the Netflix adaptation of Cixin Liu's cosmic-runaway, best-selling, Hugo-Award-winning sci-fi series The Three-Body Problem, anddddd well, you'll just have to listen to find out!
This week we catch up over a new By The Way Daddy, where Alley learns that just because your parents made you, you don't have to take their advice (or let it derail your day). In By The Way Mommy, Brett falls at the feel of Jennifer Welch and Angie "Pumps" Sullivan, hosts of the smash-hit podcast I've Had It, and takes inspiration to air his own grievances. Your favorite AI-powered co-host is OVER IT (stay tuned to see what it is...) and honestly a lot more. It's been a big week, I'm just the intern who's writing these show notes, and tbpqfh, I don't remember. So listen!
And mark your calendars! We'll be back in TWO WEEKS! And we're returning with the reallllllly good stuff. Yes, you read that right. We're finally back with our regularly-scheduled, NON Netflix programming where we deep dive and take a refreshing wade through the infinitely deep waters of the second book in this sci-fi series, The Dark Forest.
We hope you'll join us. And Stream Season 2 for a refresher on what you missed.

Oh precious bugs, did you miss us? We hope you had a nice Passover, we sure did.
This week is a big one! Slow and steady wins the race, dear listener, and really, it's not a race if you can hit pause at your leisure. There's no prize for who finishes first, so whatever you decide to do, pace yourself or buckle in for unbridled, non-weed-influenced chaos as Alley and Br3ttatr0n tackle not one, not three, but two episodes in the Netflix Original Series 3 Body Problem.
We've got a Big if True that couldn't be more applicable to this week's recap, and Alley announces the answer to our first-ever Radar Peak Pod PuzzleMania, propped up, but not sponsored, by Redbull.
WELCOME TO THE DOUBLE HEADER.
WELCOME TO THE DOUBLE HEADER.
Caution, spoilers ahead for 3 Body Problem, S1E4-5 "OUR LORD" & "JUDGMENT DAY".

We see you buying our merch! We luv u 🐜🤟
Welcome back bugs 🐜 Hopefully you’re all still here with us; that Total Solar Eclipse-fueled Timeline Jump was something else, huh?? This week the spirit of Rachel Carson’s “Silent Spring” is alive and well in Br3ttatr0n’s motherboard (soapbox incoming), and since we’re spending time in Netflix world right now, Alley’s had time to read something not for work (for once), and blows Brett’s mind with the genre-busting, prosodic prowess of Maggie Nelson’s “Like Love”.
But the fun doesn't stop there, no! Why should it!? Alley has been given the new job title of Official Radar Peak Pod Puzzlemaster, Emeritus, and with that comes a new, potentially maddening game, brought to you by Trisolaris.

We are soooooo back, lil bugs. Rested, recharged, and currently dissolving their tooth enamel with day-after-Easter clearance candy, Br3ttatr0n and Alley are back to dive (maybe a little too) deep into the bottomless well that is the universe of Cixin Liu's The Three-Body Problem, except... not the book. No, if you want that, go stream Season 1, available wherever you're hearing this. You don't have a reason not to, it's free.
We get into font choices, The Streisand-Effect-of-it-all, we're maybe looking for an intern? Three-Body the Sitcom(??), and Alley delivers one of the most powerful Calls to Action we've ever borne witness to.
Book aside, for the next 6 weeks, we're continuing our weekly miniseries, episode by episode, talking all the ins-and-outs of the Netflix Original Series from Weiss, Benioff and Woo, 3 Body Problem.
Caution, spoilers ahead for 3 Body Problem, S1E2 "RED COAST".

Friends, bugs, Radar Freaks, do not adjust your device.
Your eyes are not deceiving you, today's episode is a quick one! Alley and Br3ttatr0n wanted to stop by at our regularly scheduled time to bring you some exclusive and long-awaited news.
The Netflix adaptation of Cixin Liu's Hugo-Award-Winning, Best-selling Sci-fi series The Three-Body Problem drops TOMORROW, March 21, 2024.
It’s an 8 episode series, and for the next 8 weeks, in place of our chapter discussion of The Dark Forest (book 2 in the series) we’ll be breaking down and giving a play by play of the screen adaptation.
It’s sure to be a runaway hit, if Alison Herman of Variety Magazine has anything to say about it, anyway.
Won’t you join us? 👽

*rupaul voice* THE TIME HAS COME!
Dear listeners, Radar Freaks, BUGS (btw have you all settled on a fandom yet? 🤔) this week Brett and Alley are excited to dig into the Netflix Original Series Three Body Problem (all episodes streaming now!)
We're talking what we saw, what got changed from the book (for better or worse), and all the same science and Sci-Fi you'd expect, and.... something new Alley's started calling miscellanity, and, nerd-alert: Br3ttatr0n's ready to give a Three-Body Problem Universe TEDx Talk.
For listeners who have been with us from the beginning, fear not, we'll return to our book discussion of The Dark Forest once we chew through every last morsel on our screens. (Sorry for the cliffhanger.) And for new listeners who may just be finding us because of the Netflix series, we're so glad to have you join us! (Did you know we have a Patreon? 😏)
If somehow you haven't seen the first episode on Netflix yet (what are you doing??), fair warning.... ⚠️SPOILERS ABOUND⚠️

We've got it all for you this week - PSYOPS, Hollow Moons, and Presidential Not-So-Blind Items. Alley has some big feelings on-air re: Taylor Swift, and Br3ttatr0n comes out......as a former Gifted & Talented student. We're also talking drama at the Hugo Awards, and maybe the biggest Big If True™️ we've heard to date (that just so happens to coincide with this week's story recap!)
Then if you're still with us, in our story recap of Cixin Liu's The Dark Forest:
Wallfacer Hines wakes up from hibernation, and learns his wife Keiko never went down for her nap...... and she's been busy!Hines develops a debilitating phobia, gets over it, and uses that phobia as a tool.... of sorts.Chang Weisi and Bill Hines conspire to rid the Space Force of Defeatism once and for allHumanity has finally hacked stable Nuclear Fusion, but now they're facing a scaling problem...Wallfacer Bill Hines implements a genius new idea for another Wallfacer Initiative......... MK Ultra, anyone?Then, Bill's wife, Keiko Yamasuki goes down for the long nap, and has a startling realization, moments too late.Steel your mind. The Mental Seal will now begin.

IT'S A BIG WEEK FOLKS! Br3ttatr0n is back from a little unscheduled maintenance (thank you for all the well-wishes btw), and joins Alley for a little trip past Pluto, assisted by our favorite State-legalized flower. Please bear with us.
Alley's got a semi-inspirational pep-talk, then we're talking:
matroushkasthe origin of "gay"getting lost halfway through a story about SoHo Houseand, in a turn of events shocking to absolutely no one, Alley brings it all back to Pippin.Then later in our recap of Cixin Liu's The Dark Forest:
General Fitzroy and the Hubble II Team get a bit of bad news, and learn some revealing information about the Trisolaran fleetMaybe the best argument for believing in whatever you'd call "god" we've ever heardHumanity makes a big leap with some new space tech (with groundwork laid by Wang Miao in Book 1!)China sees a return to Wartime when rations on goods are brought back for the first time since the 90sAnother scientific advancement sees Dr. Ding Yi picking flowers in the dead of winter.... it's giving One Flew Over the Cuckoo's NestThere's a new war brewing internally within the space tech communityA city quite literally takes flightA mysterious meteorite collector gets thrown into the mix, and makes a killing.And, realizing if you want it done right, you really gotta just do it yourself....

We’re off the rails this week, folks.
-Alley’s riding a soda-high, no RedBull for her this week, but she does! have some cute new blue light glasses. Brett explains why he’s afraid of Lasik, we talk DNRs in our 30s (everybody really should have this sorted btw…) and much too much more to even put into words…but somehow… we do.
Then in our recap of Cixin Liu’s The Dark Forest,
Zhang Beihai takes a trip to space on a brand-new Space PlaneGeneral Fitzroy’s still thinking about brushes in space…..Luo Ji gets an icy new perspective on……everything.We STILL don’t know what the house by the lake is called…. Or who owns it. Le sigh.Luo Ji adjusts to a new reality in a new, upgraded, even safer! Safe house.There’s a clandestine meeting on a faraway “planet”The PDC gets the shock of their life when someone close to them comes out as a……. Magician?Deep underground, in the safest of spaces…. We learn sometimes the things trying their hardest to kill you…. are invisible.Stay tuned….it’s a new scene.

COMING TO YOU FROM A VERY WET, VERY WINDY LOS ANGELES! THE GALES ARE STILL BLOWING IN OFF THE PACIFIC OCEAN HERE. WEATHER EXPERTS SAY THAT IN THE LAST 36 HOURS, MANY AREAS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE EQUIVALENT OF A MONTH'S SUPPLY OF RAIN, WHICH REALLY PUTS THINGS INTO PERSPECTIVE.... STAY AWAY FROM STRETCHES OF MOTORWAYS.... CANNOT REPEAT THE ADVICE OFTEN ENOUGH FROM AUTHORITIES: DON'T MAKE UNNECESSARY JOURNEYS, DON'T TAKE RISKS ON TREACHEROUS ROADS, AND DON'T SWIM IN THE SEA!
Which is to say, Los Angeles is having a normal one ⛈🌂 For all this Nature™️ we sure are unprepared.... but don't worry, we'll keep you company while we wait for sunnier skies.
This week is wild, and we don't mean the Pineapple Express currently bombarding the West Coast:
Wallfacer Tyler's up to something.... He's been blindfolded and finds himself taking a clandestine meeting in a cave located....somewhereLuo Ji and Yan Yan say Bonjour Paris to get a glimpse at the actual First Wallfacer (well, a painting of her, at least) and take a Wallfacer-funded, private, after-hours tour of the Louvre, and finally have a real moment to connect... For The Plan™️General Fitzroy and the gang at NASA get a gut-wrenching reality check, courtesy of the Hubble II Space TelescopeAlley workshops an all-new musical.....😂and we arrive at the end of Part I in Cixin Liu's The Dark Forestand for the last time...
Leave Julia Roberts out of this!

GYPSY ROSE IS FREEFuck-Marry-Kill: Los Angeles EditionA malicious rumour about Alley delaying a flight, allegedlyWhat do these emoji have in common: 🛫🎧👮♀️. Alley will explain...and truly so much moreThen in our recap of Cixin Liu's The Dark Forest, Luo Ji finally decides to be a Wallfacer. Da Shi is tasked with the (seemingly) impossible [but it's For The Plan™️, so he can't reallllly say no). Tyler goes into Deep State mode to study the military, Da Shi gets some really awful news, and it might seem like Luo Ji's imaginary girlfriend is back, but that's not the full story...

We are soooooo back. And we're sorry in advance.
On the show this week, Brett has a totally unique experience and is the first to discover a hidden QR code, allegedly. Alley visits Hawaii in her latest efforts to break the Guinness World Record for most vacations taken in a year (Brett's just jealous), and then..... then Brett and Alley consume cannabis and send themselves past Pluto to bring you the next microdose installment of Cixin Liu's "The Dark Forest".
Was it a good idea? We'll see. The important thing is we'll get through it together.
New Year, same us. Buckle in.

OH MAN, oh man, oh man. What a week. We're DONE with the winter holidays (are you so exhausted? we are) and our eyes are set on a brave, bright, bold new future called 2024.
imagine 😂
This week, in our final episode of 2023, we have everything:
- our listeners have a name! (maybe)
- BYE, GEORGE SANTOS
- DAVID GRUSCH, THE GREATEST AMERICAN HERO
And if that's not enough! We explore what it feels like to be crushed under the weight of the rotting corpse of Late Stage Capitalism™️, and get a glimpse at what life could look like when you break free from the system. (*Some mega-donor assembly required) But don't you worry! This exploration doesn't require you to become a radicalized Democratic Socialist 😱, no, this practice only requires that you stick your head in the sand, and pretend nothing else exists. Seems easy enough?
We're back with an all new episode making our way through Cixin Liu's runaway sci-fi best-seller, The Dark Forest.
From high atop Radar Peak in the Command Control Center, Br3ttatr0n and Alley wish you a restful and relaxing remainder of the 2023 holiday.

This message is brought to you by Cannabis. "Start Your Day the Right Way!"™
This week Brett and Alley try their best to get through it while under a plant's infuence.... We've got it all this week, an inside source to government submarine operations (sort of), meeting your girlfriend's parents for the first time in context, and a hotly debated return of Big if True!
In our recap of Cixin Liu's The Dark Forest, Luo Ji finally arrives at his destination, and thank f*@k, because his legs were getting tired cooped up in the cheap seats. We've got some scientists at NASA learning the hard way that science often comes at the expense of "National Security", and a terror attack exposes for the world to see the ETO's plans of Trisolaran Supremacy on Earth.
What else could go wrong, you might be wondering?
Well, dear listener, haven't you learned by now the limit doesn't exist?

Γειά σου! Or, if you don't happen to know Greek, hello! This week Alley is freshly back in the US after the annual family-wide Greek getaway; she tells us about sunny beaches, spinach and feta pies, sharp objects, and something everyone can relate to whether or not you've been to Greece...... Family Vacation Drama™️.
Then, in our recap of The Dark Forest, Brett tries his absolute hardest to keep his eyes from rolling all the way out of his head. Luo Ji is still on the PJ being escorted somewhere by fighter jets, and the destination is nowhere in sight.... So, how best to spend your time when you're exhausted, haven't slept in a week, and have been kidnapped to a private jet bigger and better outfitted than most 5-star hotels? Sleep, Pine longingly over your long-lost ex....duh! Who needs sleep when I've got all this REGRET!

Oh we are so back. Did you miss us? We missed u.
This week we're debuting a new segment, By The Way, Mommy, where we just generally catch up over everything that peaked our interest from the past week. Can't make any promises, but there's high potential for it to be absolutely unhinged.
In our recap of The Dark Forest we're taking a little whirlwind tour, so buckle your seatbelts and make sure your tray tables are folded away and your chair is in the upright position. Clandestine Ops, The Men in Black, Heavy Security, and steeeeeeeamy military fanfic await.
Don't say we didn't warn you.

This week, while Brett and Alley nearly get into 10 different arguments, we wonder.......
A. who do you think would win
-and-
B. Do YOU want to escape this terrifyingly bleak existence on a planet dying from our own inaction? Do you DREAM of the stars and the cosmos? Would you LEAVE everything you know behind for a chance to break FREE? (assuming we're allowed to stay free......)
Then have we got a ticket for you.... 🎫
This week the world is being plunged into chaos as a new ideology pops up, threatening the status quo and sowing discord among all the people of Earth. And for once we don't mean political terrorism. No, this week we face the newly-emerged, very real threat........of Escapism.
