Yeah, Leif is probably my favorite, but I’m never gonna get over Casper.

Like, yeah he’s been running a dinner for years. His idea of flavor is mayonnaise and he barely knows how to flip a burger. He’s over 170 years old and kinda just forgot. He used to work at the DMV. He was a deadbeat dad. When he left his wife built the most advanced robot ever to hunt him down and confront him, who he then befriended. He’s having a “will they won’t they” with the woman he threw into an unknown astral entity. He’s constantly way more smug than he has any right to be and is riddled with self loathing. He was kidnapped and interrogated by aliens and was such a bastard the guy was ready to tear out his own hair after five minutes.

I love Casper.

oh to wander into a weird burger joint only to get a physics lesson, kickass Mexican food, a glimpse at a robotics project, and an appreciation for third spaces out of it.

avacaspar is insane because like. he pushed her off the edge of the parking lot into deep space. she calls him good boy and schmoopy. she tells him to stuff his apology up his ass. he wants to scream her achievements to the sky. she knows he has a birth mark/mole on the very back of his neck. they might sleep in the same booth. she never allows herself to be cared for except she asks him to keep bringing her pencils. he refuses to talk to her so the special people in the radio have to yodel at him four separate times to force him to do so. she's the first person he turns to when he's panicking about hearing things in his head. he crawls his way across three galaxies to find his way back to her and apologize to her. she tells him his plan about helping his estranged son is stupid as hell. she desperately doesn't want him to leave. he compares them to orpheus and eurydice. the most upsetting thing to her about being pushed into deep space is the fact that he didn't argue for her a little bit. he tells her he chooses her. he says they have a love language. she tells him she's glad he's here before they go into a black hole

bertbert is the number one character of all time. she’s an alien. she’s an investigative journalist. she’s blue. her most significant ex is someone she never even dated. she gets drunk off of earth’s atmosphere. she tells her best friend to be less reckless and not ten seconds later is imprisoned by a space cult. she once conducted an interview so risky she got brainwashed for 10+ years. one time she had to pretend to be julia roberts on thanksgiving. she’s even named after a patreon subscriber.

I need more people to listen to Midnight Burger

This isn't a "podcasts are the superior form of media" thing, it's a "this is the clearest and most nuanced philosophical discussion of third spaces and their necessity" thing

Midnight Burger is this time traveling, dimension hopping, space traveling burger joint/diner run by a neurotic dad, a Hispanic woman who used to run a taco truck that got shut down because of the pandemic and just loves people, an ex-space pirate genius engineer, a snarky physicist, and two Arkansan baptist ministers from the 30's who exist in an antique radio.

Every single episode is just one more discussion of the need for third spaces and the power of community mixed in with jokes and humor. There's an episode discussing the ethics of having sex with aliens and another where they kill John Wilkes Booth! And both things aren't even the main points of their episode!

I just really need more people to talk about this with
