Episode Summary

It’s Tuesday in Maple Grove, which can only mean one thing: the blood bus has arrived, bringing with it free coffee, dusty cookies, and enough medical confusion to qualify as an Olympic sport. John (Dusty) shows up buzzing with newfound confidence after “unlocking” a diagnostic talent he calls Clue-dini — a skill that terrifies Fred (Farts), irritates Hope, and confuses everyone else.

Inside the bus, Dr. Bobby is running at three espressos and one questionable muffin, proudly unveiling his latest scientific initiative: The Dough Division, a team of basement hobbyists creating experimental rye bread so dense it briefly lowers IQ.

Gigi arrives to deliver the R-word of the day.

Hope narrates the spiral as the Old Farts Corner becomes ground zero for Clue-dini guesses, candy-based emergencies, rye-bread philosophy, and the kind of small-town nonsense that makes Tuesday the most dangerous day of the week.

Voices You’ll Hear

• John (Dusty) – self-appointed medical mystic with a brand-new overinflated ego

• Fred (Farts) – cookie victim, skeptic of all diagnostics, and Old Farts Corner loyalist

• Hope – narrator, composed observer, and keeper of Maple Grove sanity

• Dr. Bobby – espresso-powered physician, rye-bread innovator, and peppermint-breath surgeon

• Lyle – Jiffy Lube correspondent and practical witness to Jiffy Bread’s industrial uses

• Dr. Fritz (Dr. Freudy Enslip) – still trapped in Mini-Freudy mode, practitioner of fun-sized psychology

• Curtis – candy-powered man-child with teenage ailments and boundless confidence

• Gigi – teacher of the R-word, arriving just in time to label Curtis’ condition

Sound Stage

• The Blood Bus – narrow aisles, metallic footsteps, clanking equipment, thin paper cups, squeaky recliners

• Old Farts Corner – mismatched chairs, cookie shrapnel, diagnostic whispering, and Fred’s ongoing dental trauma

Sound & Style

Immersive stereo mix featuring bus ambience, coffee pours, harmonica wipes, and the chaotic clatter of improvised medicine. Americana warmth blends with medical absurdity — a Tuesday symphony of misguided diagnostics, dubious remedies, and rye-bread science.

For New Listeners

Start with Episode 1 for the origins of booths, bacon, and burnt coffee — but Drip, Drip, Horray! stands beautifully on its own as a perfect example of Maple Grove’s unpredictable blood-bus tradition.

Between plastic cobwebs, questionable formaldehyde fumes, and Clifford Booth’s official booth inspection, the town’s annual Trunk or Treat contest descends into a perfect storm of sugar, sarcasm, and suspicious snacks. Hope narrates as the boys judge costumes gone wild — from Dr. Bobby’s “anatomically accurate” heart display to Aria’s pumpkin-spice rampage and Dr. Fritz’s miniature therapy machine. Just as the night seems lost to glitter and caffeine vapors, Curtis arrives and … well, tune in to find out! Clifford accidentally delivers the most ironic moment in Maple Grove history — and the boys prove that no holiday is safe from their booth-based nonsense. Voices You’ll Hear • John (Dusty) – grumpy booth architect and seasonal decorator with trust issues around glitter • Fred (Farts) – cider brewer, coffin carpenter, and self-appointed booth engineer • Hope – narrator and weary witness to Maple Grove’s holiday madness • Aria – Pumpkin Nickle Spice Fairy and chaos in polyester form • Dr. Bobby – blood-bus hero turned walking biohazard • Dr. Fritz (Dr. Freudy Enslip) – returning therapist in “Mini Freudy” mode with fun-sized trauma analysis • Curtis – mad inventor • Clifford Booth – referee, booth commissioner, and unwitting star of the night Sound Stage • Maple Gump Park – Trunk or Treat Festival: gravel crunches, laughing kids, howling winds, and booth setups in a haunted parking lot. • The Booth of Doom: creaking coffins, bubbling cauldrons, plastic bats, and Fred’s murky jug of “experimental cider.” Sound & Style Immersive stereo mix with seasonal ambience, harmonica stings, and spooky banjo licks. Americana warmth meets Halloween camp — equal parts ghost-story and county-fair parade. Expect pumpkin-spice shakers, squirrel roars, and the occasional formal-referee whistle of doom. For New Listeners Start with Episode 1 to learn how booths, bacon, and burnt coffee became sacred traditions in Maple Grove. But if you like your laughter haunted and your coffee questionable, this Halloween special stands beautifully (and chaotically) on its own.

One wrong swirl of ketchup ignites the Great Condiment War — a full-scale tabletop skirmish complete with sliding ramekins, tactical relish, and mustard militias. Hope narrates as Aria fights to keep the peace (and her sanity), while Fred invents a “scientific” rating system called the Z.E.S.T.Y. Scale — the Zero-Bias Estimation of a Sauce’s and Topping’s Yummyness. Ketchup becomes democracy, mustard becomes tyranny, and soy sauce sneaks in like a salty saboteur. By the end, the table’s a Jackson Pollock of sauces, the boys are humbled, and Aria walks away with new shoes — and no pie for them. It’s a sticky, salty, sweet-and-sour serving— proof that friendship can survive almost anything… except maybe honey mustard. Voices You’ll Hear • John (Dusty) – grizzled philosopher-soldier of the Mustard Militia • Fred (Farts) – sentimental ketchup loyalist and creator of the Z.E.S.T.Y. Scale • Aria – sarcastic waitress, part referee, part hostage to flavor • Hope – narrator and voice of reason in a war of condiments • Gigi – R-Word cameo, bringing harmonic punctuation to the chaos Sound Stage • The Polyester Lounge Booth #3 – clinking plates, squirting bottles, the sizzle of fries, and the rhythmic thump of plastic sliding across Formica. Sound & Style Immersive stereo layering brings each squirt and slide to life. Banjo licks, harmonica stings, and narrator asides create a fast-paced farce that feels part cooking show, part war documentary. Equal parts satire and slapstick, the episode closes with Hope’s warm moral about messy friendship and the price of no pie. For New Listeners Condiments Clash is best enjoyed after Episode 9 (Freudean Fouls) and Episode 10 (Jingle Jamboree), but stands strong on its own as a sauce-splattered masterclass in Dusty and Farts logic. If you like your comedy served extra crispy with a side of chaos, pull up a booth and pass the napkins. Credits Written, scored, and produced by Brian Clark — with screen-reader wizardry, a microphone, and a half-empty bottle of horseradish for inspiration.

Joined by Pearlie Fae & The Rusty Hinges, the gang relives the glory, chaos, and coffee-stained creativity that birthed every jingle from Hush, That’s Just the Wind to the brand-new Jingle 6. Between Hope’s dry narration, Pearlie’s smoky charm, Gigi’s harmonica squeals, and Fred and John’s constant interruptions, the episode slides between live banter and musical nostalgia. From goat songs to gnome ballads, it’s a celebration of all things Dusty Farts—part variety show, part train wreck, and entirely heartfelt. Voices You’ll Hear • John (Dusty) – ever-confused booth philosopher, offering commentary no one requested • Fred (Farts) – snack-enthusiast and self-appointed jingle critic • Aria – waitress, emcee, and reluctant host wrangling chaos with caffeinated precision • Pearlie Fae – smoky-voiced songbird of Maple Grove, proud front-woman of The Rusty Hinges • Gigi – deadpan harmonica prodigy with timing sharper than Fred’s wit • Hope – narrator, part historian, part hostage to the nonsense Sound Stage • Archival clips of jingles weave through the episode—each introduced with loving sarcasm and small-town pride. Sound & Style Immersive stereo mix featuring live music transitions, harmonica licks, and banjo strums. Americana meets mockumentary as Hope’s narration anchors the chaos between jingles. The tone swings from warm nostalgia to unfiltered comedy — like a behind-the-scenes special that accidentally became a concert. For New Listeners This episode is a perfect entry point for anyone curious about the Dusty Farts soundtrack. You’ll hear snippets from earlier episodes and meet the band that keeps Maple Grove’s coffee cups rattlin’. Start here for the music — then go back for the madness.

Between misread squirrels, casserole visions, and Aria’s sharp tongue, the booth becomes ground zero for psychoanalysis no one asked for. Hope narrates the chaos, while Gigi tries to teach the kids an “R” word that feels uncomfortably at home among midlife crises. By the end, our heroes prove once again that their subconscious is best left unexamined, and that friendship can survive even the strangest of group sessions.

Credits Written, scored, and produced by Brian Clark — brewed with screen reader wizardry, a microphone, and just enough expired hot sauce to fuel 22 minutes of questionable pugilism.

When Curtis tags their vinyl with Sharpie graffiti, John (Dusty) and Fred (Farts) declare war on turf encroachment, only to get dragged into rivalries stranger than a squirrel staring contest. Lyle gets saddled with a new nickname, Curtis fires off insults with GPS precision, and even the grease boys become unwilling competitors in an Olympic-style filter ballet. Somewhere between betting on postal carriers like racehorses, debating thermostat truces, and critiquing rookie mechanics as if the fate of the free world depended on torque angles, Fred makes a surprising gesture: handing off his “smart” watch to someone who needs it more. Hope calls it random, but it’s anything but—because behind the sarcasm and sludge, Dusty and Farts still manage to deliver a little heart along with the burnt coffee.

His latest scheme? Hosting a full-on Parking Lot Pugilism Pageant — complete with Marquis of Sheepsberry rules, goat referees, and Steve pressed into service as a carnival-style announcer. As always, Aria serves sass alongside coffee while the boys argue over thermostat settings that somehow escalate into a literal goat-punching contest.

With coffee dispensed by “Tiny Trickle,” the world’s first espresso gnome, the boys put their C.A.F.E. rating system to the test—sawdust brew and all. Between demolition derby critiques, toilet throne debates, and live announcements about unionized garden gnomes, chaos reigns. Gigi stops by with real coffee (and some life news), while Doctor Bobby goes on a quest for a drain snake that somehow turns into colonoscopy philosophy.
