2024-11-07 02:48:20 +0000 UTCI like how Gloria's journey began with Ava showing her mushrooms in season one episode one, and now season three ends with Brody showing her mushrooms.

2024-08-26 19:11:18 +0000 UTCThe Leifs have had great speeches. Of course even older Leifs speech before he blows up the wind chimes is great. My favorite is the nonsense thing he says when normal time Leif asks if he is happy. "Happy, happy? I am Leif, I am." I picture him walking away. Normal time Leif just says okay, like her was talking to a crazy person.

2024-03-22 02:56:09 +0000 UTCThe only thing I hate...is having to wait for the next season. I travel too much and you all have provided so much joy in my travels. Time and space well you'll have clearly figured out how to bend it by making it feel like every episode is seconds not hours.

2024-01-23 22:57:17 +0000 UTCCaspar and Ava talking about her discovery and understanding, him making her yell it out, and Ava have a dramatic character growth with “Don’t go”. I crave the next season so badly.

2023-11-28 21:24:38 +0000 UTCThis podcast has no right being as exceptional as it is. Thank you for providing a beautiful escape from the hard realities of life. Thank you for always being out there, somewhere, looking for me 🩵

2023-11-27 07:50:22 +0000 UTCI listened to this at Work and I'm pretty sure my coworkers have Concerns. I laughed, I damn near cried, I rubbed my evil little hands together like a raccoon, it was a joy.

2023-11-18 17:22:54 +0000 UTCI put off listening to this episode because I knew that my name callout would be in it. Back in April, right around when I became a patron, my Maine Coon cat, Riot, unexpectedly passed away. I requested that his name be mentioned so he could be immortalized in the stars. When I heard he was a space chicken, I simultaneously burst into tears and laughter. It’s just like how when Caspar and Ex were talking about how she had to confront infinite versions of him and one time he was a lion fish. I miss him so much, but am so thankful to Midnight Burger and its crew for helping me grieve and celebrate him in the multiverse. It was the perfect tribute - being able to imagine that he continued on past the earth’s destruction and is part of a new generation of humanity. Thank you. 🍔

2023-10-21 03:22:37 +0000 UTCAbsolutely loved this. So many great call backs to previous chapters too. If Gloria could check the walk-in for more 3 hour episodes that’d be great 😁

2023-10-21 00:21:25 +0000 UTCYeah, something weird is going on, there's definitely a discrepancy between the desktop and the app. This "brand new Patreon" has beta test vibes. I saw your comments and they were lovely. And thank YOU for being here with us for it all!
Midnight Burger
2023-10-18 11:54:21 +0000 UTCWell. I have no idea why my comment doesn't show up in the browser but only on the app – @Joe I swear I put my heart into it but Patreon evidently only liked the part where I cursed

2023-10-18 04:27:59 +0000 UTCI spent the last 3 days relistening to all of the episodes, capping it off with the series finale. How is every episode better than the one before it?! It was perfect. I loved it, and Casper and Ava need to get a room already.

2023-10-17 21:03:59 +0000 UTCYou guys are the best! What a gift of a season finale!!! Not only is it the longest podcast episode I’ve ever listened, but it’s also crammed full of everything I love about Midnight Burger. I want to say thank you so much for bringing your wonderful stories about a time travelling dimension spanning diner to us, it has brought me joy and solace every time I listen. And it has help banish the boredom of long hours of very repetitive work. Also hearing Alan Burgon was such a treat too!!! Bravo Midnight Burger bravo 👏🏻💙

2023-10-16 21:47:58 +0000 UTCJesus f*cking christ (sorry, Effie&Zeb <3), not only did I go through all the stages of grief in the span of three hours, I also invented some new ones. To (mis)quote Clementine, I'm literally feeling every human emotion, and it's overwhelming – but since I arrived at the end of the wonderful journey that was this episode with a smile splitting my face in two and tears of happiness in my eyes, I too would like to say just one thing. Thank you. This is an extremely difficult time, both on a personal and global level, and in the midst of all this pain is truly immense the joy and hope that an incredible story like this can give. You know...? Just this once, everybody lives. I'm now listening to the episode for the third time and the roller coaster of emotions doesn't seem to want to stop, but every time I get to the end I have a little more hope in my very own emotional pocket, and it's a priceless feeling. Thank you so, so much, Joe, for sharing this story with us. And thank you so much Finlay and the entire cast, you all bring it to life with absolutely incredible brilliance. Your work is so, so treasured. A huge, bone-crushing hug is now heading your way with this message 💌

2023-10-15 21:00:40 +0000 UTCThis show is a lot of things. It’s smart, it’s hilarious, it’s emotionally impactful. It’s also been the best brain balm. I love this show. And after the week that Oct 7-13, and feeling so disconnected, it’s nearly everything to know you’re out there, somewhere💛

Brilliant writing, tying all the stories up.. so good . Lovely to hear all the peeps. That was so awesome thank you so much for bringing us midnight burger Joe and the whole cast . Its bloody brilliant 😍😍😍

2023-10-15 16:30:22 +0000 UTCYou feed us so well. It's fitting the show is about a diner
Purplesaline
2023-10-15 10:38:11 +0000 UTCWhy do I feel like an old lady who is having bad, bad thoughts about Leif? I think I am a little in love with him. Not to mention, it has one of my favorite lines relevant to our current political climate "We took people and made them symbols of a problem". It made me tear up. Great show!!! So sad it will be months to the next season. What will I do with myself in that time? Time to go back to the beginning.

Also I want to hug everyone. Wow, am I going to miss this show for five months. *pout* .... Brodie is darling, and yay, Gloria, go for it! *hugs Leif twice, he knows why* And yay, SCHNAPPS. [Your face is drunk. BWAH.] *cackling and enjoying all of this so, so much* (And I'm glad things worked out with both C's the way they did. WHEW, dangit.)
