Episode notes
Tomato Seedlings Versus Snails
- Blindboy recounts growing San Marzano tomato seedlings and a snail infestation from cat food nearby.
- He resists killing snails, relocates them gently, and accepts losing some plants as synchronicity.

- Blindboy describes painting snail shells as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles when toys weren't available in Ireland.
- He used those painted snails to role-play slow-motion turtle battles and later gently relocated snails from his tomato seedlings.

- The original 1983 TMNT comic was dark, adult, and subversive rather than kid-friendly.
- Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird created a postmodern mashup using parody, satire, and genre detournement.
