Tuberculosis vs Jaguar w/ grapple shoes
Results:
- Well, only one of them can die and lets face it, Jaguar has never died….
- Trained assassin > dormant disease
- “Danny Trejo > Everything”
- @Tariq Purely depends on mental game. If Jag thinks he is fighting for his daughter- he takes on that shit, easy W. If not, he will die a coughy mess. Since he learned the truth already, it goes to TB.
- @Tyler Tigno – between tuberculosis vs Jaguar I’d have to go with my man jaguar…I mean I don’t care if he was just a pickle; jaguar went toe too toe with rick and lived!!

What happened?
- A pretty straightforward affair. During a routine mission, Jaguar gets intel that his daughter might still be alive through some convoluted conspiratorial web. It leads him to a secret Center for Disease Control facility. Once there, he discovers that the site is completely locked down. Breaking in, he finds bodies of scientists strewn about, bloodied, with holes in their chests. He walks through the building more and hears a knocking from a closet. Opening it up, he sees a survivor… whose chest almost immediately bursts. A dormant, enlarged tuberculosis jumps at Jaguar. The cell screeches and soon, hundreds of dormant TB cells are making their way at Jaguar. He manages to fight them off, but there are so many. He retreats to one of the labs where he finds an enlarging machine and decaying bodies of what look to be transients. He manages to start a fire using a combination of chemicals found in the lab, escaping from the CDC facility. He turns his back and walks away, hearing the screeches of TB, just as the entire building explodes. He didn’t get what he came for, but the CDC better pay him as the best damned Disease Controller around

S1E2 – “Lawnmower Dog”
- Originally aired: December 9, 2013
- Written by Ryan Ridley
- Directed by John Rice
Synopsis
- [Reddit Copy] Morty’s small, white dog Snuffles gets on the nerves of the family, so Rick quickly builds a knowledge enhancing helmet for the dog. In the meantime, Rick and Morty decide to incept the dreams of Morty’s math teacher, Mr. Goldenfold in order to convince him to give Morty A’s in math. While the duo are sent on an epic dream world journey, Snuffles slowly gains sentience, which leads to a slew of even more problems.
Production Notes

Tweets
- Dominick Cobb – In S1E02 after @RickandMorty Incept Mr. Goldenfold the earpiece is still in his ear as he walks away. Did they have to get it back before they could incept Snowflake (Snuffles)?! Did Goldenfold realize it at some other point?! Did it self destruct?!

Reviews
- Randalmeister – This is one of two podcasts to which I listen to get news and discussion about one of my favorite shows. Travis and Brandon are both thought provoking and entertaining. If you’re a Rick and Morty fan, I believe Interdimensional RSS is a must have companion piece. (five stars)
