Description

Skeeter is missing! On “Muppet Babies,” Skeeter was seen with baby versions of Kermit, Piggy, Fozzie, Rowlf, Animal, Gonzo the Great, and her twin brother Scooter. All of them grew up to appear on Muppet shows and movies as adults…except Skeeter. On Skeeterial: A Muppet Babies Investigation, Matt Manser and Eileen Mary O’Connell (with the help of special guests) try to answer the question, what happened to Skeeter? Is she okay? Was she killed? We’ll watch every episode of the show to search for answers.

SKEETER? WHERE ARE YOU SKEETER!?! Matt and Eileen still have no idea where everyone's favorite gymnastics-enthusiast (Skeeter, we're talking about Skeeter) is, so this week they’ve called on the help of actress and writer, Amy Vorpahl. The three of them watched season 3 episode 11 of the Muppet Babies (“Around the Nursery in 80 Days”) to look for clues. Amy, a real life twin, offered some twin perspective about Scooter and Skeeter and helped Matt and Eileen discover their SECOND EVER FACT! But do they find Skeeter?

ACHOO! SKEETER IS STILL MISSING! Matt and Eileen still have no idea where Skeeter is, so they've enlisted the help of writer and Muppet Babies super fan Sara Clarke-Chan. The three of them watched season 3, episode 9 of The Muppet Babies ("Scooters Uncommon Cold") and along the way discussed archeology, another great documentary called "The Magic School Bus," and they got REAL, BABY INSIGHT! But did they find Skeeter? You better listen and find out!  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
EXTRA! EXTRA! SKEETER IS STILL MISSING! In "The Daily Muppet," the babies make their own newspaper for Nanny - even though she makes them sleep 8 babies to a crib! But the real front page story should be the disappearance of Skeeter, so Eli Magers (Pack Theater) helps Eileen and Matt with the investigation. They also discuss if Kermit is an evil dictator, if Gonzo is actually a God, and why Eli insists that all of Fozzie's friends actually call him "Fonzie." And we even give out the very real and official Skeeter-ial phone number you can ring at any time. But do they find Skeeter? Listen for yourself to get the facts, that are anything but "Fake news."  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
SKEETER, ARE YOU ALIVE!? Matt and Eileen still have no idea where Skeeter is, so they've called upon the help of their friend, comedian and musician Zach Olsen. The three of them watched season 3 episode 7 of The Muppet Babies ("Fozzie's Family Tree") and along the way discuss whether or not Skeeter could be The Count, Eileen's favorite dolphin, and the SUPER AMAZING SONG THAT'S IN THIS EPISODE! Oh, and maybe, just maybe, where Skeeter is.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
CONGRESS, HELP US FIND SKEETER! Matt and Eileen still haven't found Skeeter, so they enlisted the help of Tamra Brown (Liquid Feet) to help finally get to the bottom of the case. In this episode, Kermit becomes president of the nursery and goes to Washington...so can the government finally get involved in solving Skeeter's disappearance? They also talked about if Beaker is a sentient finger, Miss Piggy's "time's up" moment with Kermit, and if Nanny is in a polyamorous relationship with Statler and Waldorf. But do they find Skeeter?

SKEETER, WHERE THE FRICK ARE YOU!?!?! Matt and Eileen still aren't sure, so they brought in actress/writer Molly Fite to help crack the case.

SKEETER-IAL IS BACK, BUT SKEETER IS NOT! Eileen and Matt are back with our first new episode of 2018 - and we talk about the BRAND NEW REBOOT OF MUPPET BABIES - that somehow omits Skeeter! We also bring in Kate Huffman ("I'm Too Fat For This Show"), and we discuss if we would buy lemonade from a baby, and also serenade R. Kelly with a rendition of "I Believe I Can Fly." But do we find Skeeter? Listen and find out!  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
BREAKING NEWS! In the week before Thanksgiving, The Muppets' official YouTube channel posted - for real - a video titled "Happy Thanksgiving from Scooter & Lew Zealand!" Given that our leading theory is that Skeeter may have grown up to become Lew Zealand, this pairing seems like more than just a coincidence. In this episode, Eileen, Matt, and guest Robert Clarke-Chan watch the video (complete with audio clips!) and analyze for more possible clues about Skeeter. They also discuss if Lew Zealand is attracted to fish, and if a smile is a hug your face makes. But do they finally find Skeeter?

SKEETER, WHERE ARE YOU? ARE YOU SECRETLY LEW ZEALAND!?! Matt and Eileen are still knee-deep in this mystery, and they've brought back a couple of old friends to help with their investigation. Jeremy Schmidt and Ron Lechler host "The Twilight Zone Zone" but they returned to Skeeter-ial and learned about this Lew Zealand theory theory. The four of them watched season 3, episode 3 of The Muppet Babies ("The Weirdo Zone") and discussed Crazy Eights, MORE FIGHT CLUB, and maybe...just maybe...where Skeeter is!?

THE SKEETER/LEW ZEALAND MYSTERY CONTINUES!!! Matt and Eileen keep investigating the disappearance of Skeeter...and dig deeper into the possibility that SKEETER GREW UP TO BECOME LEW ZEALAND! They were joined by Charlie Mihelich (UCB, IO West) and they also discussed if Alanis Morissette or Arnold Schwarzenegger is involved in the mystery, who the Muppets' counterparts are on Peanuts, and, for some reason, how the investigation is affecting their dating lives.

SEASON 3 PREMIERE - DID SKEETER BECOME LEW ZEALAND??? On the season 2 finale, a new Skeeter theory was presented that suggests that Skeeter could have grown up to become boomerang fish-throwing Muppet Lew Zealand. Could it be true? We don't know, but the photos make it seem like a possibility. With the help of Tommy Bechtold (ABC's "The Middle"), we dive further into this theory while also discussing the first episode of Muppet Babies season 3, "Pigerella." Tommy, Matt and Eileen also talked about if Britney Spears should have recorded a song called "Not a Tadpole, Not Yet a Frog." But did we find Skeeter?

IT'S THE SEASON 2 FINALE AND WE STILL DON'T KNOW WHERE SKEETER IS! But folks, this episode is a GAME CHANGER! Writer/author and Muppet super fan, Ben Greene joined Matt and Eileen on their very important, very serious quest to find the missing Muppet. The three of them watched Season 2, Episode 13 of The Muppet Babies ("When You Wish Upon A Muppet") and along the way, they discussed action figures, Ben's very secret horse notebook, and they unearthed the BIGGEST CLUE YET. This might change the entire investigation, so you DON'T want to miss this episode!  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information. Learn more about your ad choices.

THIS EPISODE IS NSFW! SKEETER, COME BACK! Still no answer on the disappearance of Skeeter from Muppet Babies. So in this episode, Matt and Eileen got some assistance from Kat Palardy ("New Girl," "Brooklyn Nine-Nine"), who (as an investigative exercise) led us in a game of "F***, MARRY, SKEETER." Like we said, THIS EPISODE IS NSFW! When solving a crime, sometimes stuff comes up that's not safe for work...but is Skeeter safe at all? We also discussed if Skeeter went to Burning Man, and how Matt used to play catch by himself by throwing a tennis ball against an old barn. But did we find Skeeter? Listen and find out! NOT SAFE FOR WORK!  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
SKEETER? SKEETER ARE YOU THERE!? Matt and Eileen still haven't found Skeeter, the missing Muppet who was seen on Muppet Babies but never as an adult Muppet with the rest of the gang. This week, Madeline Walter joins them on their quest! You know Madeline from the UCB Theatre and from her podcast, "Definitely Dying." But is Skeeter definitely dead!? The three of them watched season 2, episode 11 of The Muppet Babies ("The Muppet Museum of Art") to look for clues and along the way, they discussed sing-a-long tapes, fruit bowls, the movie "Room," and maybe, just maybe, where Skeeter is.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

SKEETER, COME BACK! Matt and Eileen couldn't find Skeeter at the Hollywood Bowl, so they went back to watching Muppet Babies episodes in the hopes of finding clues that will lead us to Skeeter. Joining us in the search is Lesley Tsina ("Community," "Transparent"). We discussed Lesley's book "Restart Me Up" (a real book about the fake history of Windows '95), plus we tried to find out if Bunson is actually an avocado, if FedEx drivers are bad parents, and if Skeeter is trapped in "Tron." But did we find Skeeter? Listen and find out!  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
BONUS EPISODE! The Muppets recently appeared LIVE IN CONCERT AT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL, and Matt and Eileen were there to investigate!

Did Scooter even mention his long lost twin? Joining us in the investigation is Bennie Arthur of "Drunk History." But is Skeeter history?

SKEETER, WE BEG OF YOU: PLEASE TELL US WHERE YOU ARE! Matt and Eileen still have no idea where Skeeter is but they're confident that this week's guest, Drew Seeley, can help them out. Drew is an actor and a singer, but if Skeeter is found, our hearts will be the ones singing. The three of them watched Season 2, episode 9 of The Muppet Babies ("What's New at the Zoo?") to look for clues and along the way, they discussed love triangles (and love squares and love pentagons), whether or not Skeeter could be at a zoo, and who would last the longest in a Muppet Fight Club...without spoiling the movie Fight Club FOR ONCE!  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

MORE MYSTERY! Matt and Eileen still can't fine Skeeter, so they enlisted the help of Pam Murphy ("Adam Ruins Everything," "30 Rock). They discussed the Muppet Babies episode titled "Musical Muppets," and talked about if Skeeter is stuck in Tron, if Eileen stared at the eclipse for too long, and a possible spoiler of the movie "Split."

HELLO? SKEETER? ARE YOU OUT THERE?!?! Matt and Eileen still have no idea where Skeeter is, so they've brought in Cassi Jerkins (Dumb Nerds Podcast) to help them crack this case. The three of them watched Season 2, episode 7 of the Muppet Babies ("I Want My Muppet TV!") and looked for clues. Along the way, they discussed Muppet puberty, which Muppet baby would be the best improviser, and they even held...a seance!? But did they find Skeeter?

THE MYSTERY CONTINUES! This week, Matt and Eileen are aided in the search by comedian Chet Wild...but they are not "wild" about Skeeter continuing to be missing! This week, the investigation continues by watching this"Muppet Babies" episode where Skeeter stars as Snow White! Could Piggy's jealousy have been the motivation for Skeeter's Demise? They also discuss if Nanny's on cocaine, if Bunson Honeydew is an actual talking honeydew, and if real snakes make a "boing" sound or if that's just fake snakes in prank jars of peanut brittle? (Speaking of brittle, that's how our hearts feel when we don't know where Skeeter is.)  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information. Learn more about your ad choices.
