What happens when you plan a 4 day stretch of nothing before a crucial battle in the most important war on the planet? Stress, nerves, and a WHOLE lot of tripping balls. There's quite a bit to unpack here, but the meat of the episode is Aang has weird dreams, and Zuko attends a meeting that bums him out. (Meetings, amirite?) We sit down with the host of Of the Eldest Gods to go over some truly strange and surreal dreams. Seriously, what the F did I just watch??? Our music is by my brother J.Curt...

After our heroes tell spooky stories in the woods, they are invited back to a totally innocent and benign old woman's house for tea and other completely innocent things. Toph hears screams under the earth. Do we care? Why would we? This gram gram type appears to have a kinship with Katara, but she turns out to be the main villain the Golden Girls 3: endgame. We have a fantastic time with our Pod Daddy Christina from The Restricted Section! Chill hangs and fun vibes this time around folks. Sorry ...

Today a BFF of the pod joins us to talk about one of her favorite episodes! If you've listened through this show, you know the name TImelord Iroh, and we're thrilled to have her on this week's main-feed episode! This week, the gaang gets distracted from the DMs main quest by wandering into town and ripping-off a bunch of strangers, but Toph is drawing heat from the fuzz and it's causing drama in the group. How will our heroes get out of this one? Will their "one last job" end the way most "one l...

This week, we're joined by our new friend Honey to talk all things Roku, Sozin, and friendship! Roku, the plot-focused DM decides to give Aang a lore dump while he sleeps, but that's not the only dump that will be had!

Sorry for the delay, Patch! This week, we sit down with our good friend Xander about Swords, Stances, and weapons training! Xander has been studying martial arts and bladed weapons since the tender age of five! We get into the esoteric nitty-gritty of footwork, combat philosophy and the nature of learning a martial skill! (Spoilers, you can't be trained in bladed combat in 2 days, sorry Sokka) After the gaang leaps into action like a bunch of power-leveled mages, Sokka is left feeling a little.....

Hey folks! On this week's episode, The Gaang passes through a fishing village plagued from the pollution of a local metalworking factory. Moved by their plight, Katara decides to take action, at the cost of Sokka's meticulous and exacting schedule. She becomes a vigilante, healing the sick, feeding the hungry, and performing acts of eco-terrorism! We're joined today by Katie Bowers of Fandom Forward and Johnnie Jae from A Tribe Called Geek to have an important conversation about activism, advoca...

Hey folks, no new episode this week, but we won't leave y'all hangin! Please enjoy this bonus episode from our Patreon series "There is no Pod in Ba Sing Se", where we watch movies we wished didn't exist. This episode, we take a look at the Oscar-Nominated flop, The Golden Compass! A movie so bad the other two adaptation films were quietly canned after its release. While not a horrible film, it plays fast-and-loose with the source material in a way that we simply cannot abide. We meet up with fr...

SURPRISE! two weeks, two episodes! THAT'S VALUE! This week, we're joined by MNCN crewmate and friend of the pod, Taylor, to relate to Aang's totalitarian, fascist education as a teacher in the American School System! The Gaang has made it to the Earth Kingdom, and while Sokka wants to hide in a cave and eat crickets until invasion day, Aang has other plans. Low profile, you say? How about a youth-rebellion DANCE PARTY??? Aang goes to school to learn a bunch of lies from the Fire Nation governmen...

This episode, we start the DnD session with a big recap. Aang's been out of the campaign for a while, and needs to catch up on all the shit that happened while his character was dea- I mean in a coma! No death or dying here folks! The Gaang encounters a Fire Nation ship, Aang encounters the demons of his guilt and trauma, and Zuko encounters his Honor, though it might not take the form he's looking for. WE'RE BACK FOR ANOTHER SEASON! More bits! More Memes! More... surprisingly deep introspection...

In our Season 2 Finale episode, the extremely funny Erin and Zoey of Lore Olympod stop by to talk about Busty Rabbits, good good cats, and also Avatar at some point! This week, The Gaang reconvenes to discover that the Kiyoshi warriors aren't the Kiyoshi warriors. (I'm shocked, SHOCKED I tell you!) Geopolitical hijinks ensue. Zuko decides this life of peace and inner-calm isn't for him, and he decides to rip out his poor uncle's heart, and beat it with a stick. This was such a fun episode! We sp...

ATTENTION! The version of the episode that was uploaded earlier had the wrong audio. Sorry y'all, I (Zach) had a real oopsie. Here we go again! This week, our Gaang pulls a Scooby Doo crew and splits up for a while, and we chat with friend and fellow podcaster Ethan Hulen about meditation, Zuko's angst, and the benefits of trying out standup routines on airplanes. Aang opens his chakras, Sokka gets some dad time, Toph spends the episode getting un-kidnapped, and Katara does the opposite. Follow ...

Our heroes are on a roll! They got Appa back, escaped from the Dai Li and feel like a bunch of winners, why break the momentum? They storm the castle, only to find an incredulous Earth King in need of convincing. Sokka will need to don his detective hat, and roll some truly prodigious Diplomacy rolls to sway the King in their favor. And failing that, they could always bribe Bosco with some fish!

This week, Special Guest and Youtube Political Streamer Vaush stops by to nerd out with us about his all-time favorite show! (Spoilers, it's Avatar) He has some insightful things to say about cartoons, power structures, and the nuances of politics in a show made for a younger audience. Our Heroes have settled into the overbearing monotony of the Earth King's hospitality, and after shutting the front door in Joo-Di's face, decide to take matters into their own hands. They find Jet post brainwash,...

Hey Folks, Work sucks and life's hard, so we're delaying the next full episode until the 20th. BUT..... You ever wonder what Horror movies we're into in this, the month of.... SPOOKTOBER??? You haven't? WELL HERE'S AN UNRELATED MINISODE ABOUT THAT VERY TOPIC! Surprise! This week we answer a question that nobody asked, because we're nerds and we like things.

This one's heavy Cabbage Patch. We need some big cabbage energy to get us through this one. Luckily we're joined by our dear friend Charlie to help and comfort us in our hour of need. Appa is alone and lost without the Gaang's company. He escapes the clutches of many would-be captors, and licks an old Guru. and HE'S GOING TO BE FINE! EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE! I'm not just saying this to keep myself from sobbing, it's a truth. Next episode the Appa drought comes to an end, folks. This episode we s...

Aside from laughing a lot, we talk shop about one of the best episodes of season 2, and have a Haiku battle FOR THE AGES!

Our heroes have finally arrived in Ba Sing Sae! The hard part is over, or so they think! Turns out an "audience with the KING" is a little more exclusive then the gaang thought, imagine that? We see the king's bear, Iroh gets deep in the tea, and Jet seems to be the only one to notice that kid looks a lot like the prince's wanted posters. This week we are joined by the wonderful Mary Clay Watt of That's What I'm Tolkien About! We share some laughs and some sobering realities about propaganda and...

This episode we sit down with fellow nerd, mechanical engineer and friend of the pod Sean Watson to pick his brain about the big... erm.... shaft? no, head? The Drill, the one the Fire Nation built that DEFINITELY doesn't look like a giant penis. we promise. We talk shop about a marvel of fantasy engineering, and the slurry that runs through its veins. The Gaang has made it to Ba Sing Sae, but their relief is immediately dashed when the Birds of Prey show up with their new whip, and it's a 100,0...

Hey Folks. This week, Alex, Zach, and special guest Rori the bird dive into a truly treacherous episode. We encounter grifters, old friends, new flames, the Cabbage Man, it's a truly star studded episode. From Katara destroying ancient documents to the TSA destroying the Cabbage Guy's valuable stock, we have a veritable whose-who of the Avatar Cannon. Will the Gaang make it over the Serpent's Pass? Will Shout Wolf ever give me a win? (no) How will the Gaang deliver this dang baby without Sokka g...

Hey folks, in this episode the Gaang is lost in the desert, without a mode of transportation, as well as a dear companion. How will they cope with the loss of their flying friend, and how will Katara manage to keep all her drunk friends safe as they make their way home from the bar? Will Sokka ever stop tripping balls? This week, we process Appa's loss in 3 very important steps. 1.) Try really hard not to cry 2.) Record Pod 3.) Cry a lot Relevant links! Soul Cap's Fina petition How to Change You...

Welcome to our guest and friend of the show Christina Kann! (The Restricted Section) the DM of the group has invited their friend to join the party for a one-shot involving some (rolls some dice) ancient library in the desert? Sure, why not? Our heroes are finally on Sokka's mini-vacation, and he uses it to do homework. Along the way they meet the amalgamation of Indiana Jones, Milo Thatch, and Ms. Frizzle, and he has a map to the quest location! Good thing we have a happy fuzzball to fly us aro...

It's time folks. Sometimes you gotta quest, sometimes you gotta save the world, and other times you need to grind up to the next level before the dungeon. While our gang tries to stat-boost Aang with the power of montage music, Zuko resumes his training with Iroh, it would be in teamaking but Iroh knows his nephew is a lost cause. All this AND a third plot about Sokka having an existential crisis about meat consumption? In this episode a lot goes on and almost nothing happens. https://www.movien...

Hey folks! We just got in from Pittsburgh and boy are our arms tired... and our legs, and our backs.... and our souls.... We can very much relate to this episode, as the gang keeps having to break their lease and move on VERY short notice. After the third Uhaul, they get mad and split up. Will our gang reunite?

Did I record this.... It's been days.... I've been wandering through the desert of our house, ambulatory, without a cohost.... This week on My Cabbages, Alex is traveling, leaving Zach to record the episode on his own. Will he be able to hack it? Will he finish the rest of the wine in the fridge? (yes) Meanwhile, Zuko goes through a solitary journey of his own, recounting some not-so-fond memories of horrible abuse of defenseless shelled birds.

Hey Cabbagepatch! Sorry for the late episode! A power surge wiped out half of my editing timeline. In THIS episode, our heroes attempt to end their search for an earthbending teacher as Ang enrolls in an Earthbending after-school Strip Mall dojo. After eating dirt and moving on, they find an underground wrestling league that Sokka is wayyy too stoked about. Will our heroes find their long sought after Earthbending Teacher, or will they just kidnap a little girl? .....Yes? Big news coming up soon...

In this episode, Aang gets canceled over some of Kiyoshi's old tweets. Can't they see he was a whole different person back then!? In order to prove his innocence, Private Detective Sokka is on the case, but which Sherlock Holmes is he? As he awaits his verdict in prison, Aang learns that this town seems to just lock up any man with emotional intelligence. WE HAVE A YOUTUBE CHANNEL NOW! Go give us a sub!

This Episode our gang finds a smelly swamp. Gross! The inconsequential nature of this one-shot splits the party as our heroes each hallucinate a different person from their lives. As they experience Ghibli, but smellier, will they find the mysterious green man in the swamps with the answers to their questions? Am I talking about Shrek or yoda? Y-Yes?
