Summary
“Grandma, would you tell us that old adage again?” “Yes dears. A long time ago, your ancestors used to say: if all the computers in the world shut down, it’s because the furries logged off for a day.” In this season 6 premiere, Hannah and Maia chat about the most maligned subculture on the internet: furries - a group of people with an above-average interest in anthropomorphic creatures, who everyone seems to despise. Thanks to some unflattering depictions in popular media like CSI and the Tyra Show, the world believes furries to be a group of maladjusted sexual deviants. But have furries gotten a bad rap? Is it really sexual deviancy, or a post-humanist movement that has been way ahead of us this whole time? We may very well be f*cking with the wrong group of people (after all, they created their own ISP before the White House did). Tangents include: the emotional power of Aquamarine, Tyra teaching Hannah about Islamophobia, and the Kyle Jenner-ification of My Little Pony.

| 0:46.8 | Hannah and I both underwent pretty intense moves, essentially, almost immediately after we concluded last season. Hannah, do you want to |
| 0:57.6 | update everyone about where you are? I know our patrons know where we're at, but not the general |
| 1:01.9 | audience. Yes. If you guys want to know what's up with our lives and you're so curious, you got to |
