Starting point is 00:02:14 I didn't get cloud number seven. Cloud number seven? The pot. Cloud number seven. I sent myself tape I didn't hear back, and then I look on hollow news, and jajang, jajang, got cloud number seven. Man. Man. A cloud? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:35 See, that's the thing, Bart. I think it... No, that's not... Beano... Why? Love typecasting. No, that's not... Be no... You love typecasting? Be no love typecasting. Why? Why?
Starting point is 00:02:52 What is there to love about typecasting? Be no know that hollow is a visual medium. That's true. That's true. Yeah, that's true. Anyway, I'm not... I'm just not in the best of moods, so I apologize if I say things that are just grumpy or offensive or whatever. That's fine. You know, Bargy, listen, we're here for you.
Starting point is 00:03:09 We support your career choices. I think you maybe need a new agent, though. You've been getting a lot of distant... A new agent? Yeah. I don't have an agent. Oh, that'll... Yeah, that'll do.
Starting point is 00:03:19 Okay. Sorry. Well, that statement could remain true. It makes me feel really good. Okay. Yeah. Whether you have an agent or not, you still need a new agent. Thank you, C-33.
Starting point is 00:03:28 I don't think that's what he meant. You know, maybe, I mean, this sounds crazy, Bargy, but, I mean, Beano seems to know a lot about the holo industry. You're suggesting Beano become Bargy's agent? I mean, look, he hasn't really pulled his weight on the ship. I feel like maybe this is a chance. Maybe he could be working on something. Keeps him busy, keeps him out of our hair.
Starting point is 00:03:55 Bino take 20%. 20%? That seems high, Bino. Bino take 20%. No, why? Bino, no. No why Bino no Okay I can't remember
Starting point is 00:04:10 I was just The thing is I was looking at this control Oh never mind Hey Hey Hey Hey guys Hey. Hey, Nermit. Hey, guys.
Starting point is 00:04:29 Hey, you're pretty chill. Operations Manager Bundley, are you all right? Oh, I'm, like, more than all right. I, uh, we just had a rebellion meditation retreat. Whoa. Yeah. Okay. Really, like, changed how I was thinking about stuff. Huh.
Starting point is 00:04:49 How were you thinking about stuff? I just, I don't know, like, I don't think of myself this way, but I realized, like, maybe I was a little, like, uptight. You? Yeah, no, I know, like, I know we all think of me as, like, a carefree guy and stuff. Is that Nermit? Oh, yes. Nermit Bundeloy.
Starting point is 00:05:12 Why did you send me so much sand? Oh, so at the meditation retreat, you go into this big sand bin, or other people dig in it, but I went in it. And you go in, and you think about the people who but I went in it, and you go in and you think about the people who are really important to you, and then you... Send them sand? Yeah. And they charged a lot, so you're welcome.
Starting point is 00:05:33 I have sand in places I shouldn't have sand in. It's in all of my chutes and flaps. I can just feel little grains. I mean, it might be on you for jucking the sand. Yeah. That's a good point, Dara. I think it's sort of, I think the sand's sort of for looking at, you know?
Starting point is 00:05:53 It comes in that unusually shaped bottle so you can just sort of put it on a shelf. The bottle is so sexual. Yeah. I did see the bottle. That's fair. Bino hates sand. So coarse. So rough.
Starting point is 00:06:09 Bino. I agree with Bino on this. Bino. Bino, where did you develop all these opinions about sand? There's no sand aboard the ship. Bino, no. I electronic messaged you all a coupon for the retreat. Cool.
Starting point is 00:06:29 Yeah, sweet. Yeah, cool, thanks. We bounced them immediately to the spam folder. Well, listen, Norman, I'm glad you're feeling chill. You know, that's good. Thank you so much. Just calling to sort of follow up on being relaxed? No, I was just going to, like, give you a mission.
Starting point is 00:06:52 Are you trans-drowning right now? Is there something else you want to tell us about this retreat? It stressed me out. What? I was super, honestly, thank you for asking. It was so weird. It was so weird, and I don't know what I was supposed to feel
Starting point is 00:07:11 when I had to send somebody sand. I don't know. Anyway, it was, I guess you'd call it a cult. A cult. I went to a cult. Okay. And you sent us a coupon for it. Your mission. Yeah, sure. Yeah, give us a coupon for it. I, uh, your mission. Yeah, sure.
Starting point is 00:07:26 Yeah, give us a mission. So you are going to the planet Nash. Okay. Do you know it? It's an extremely, uh, dignified planet. Very polite society there. Absolutely. And you're going to go into the sub-cavern of the palace where the highest dignitary of Nosh resides. Amazed we're being allowed in the sub-base?
Starting point is 00:07:48 I know. So you're meeting with the high princess of Nosh. The high princess? Yes. Not the regular princess. No, no, no. I would have said that. Oh, sure.
Starting point is 00:08:00 And there should be, Barji, you should have received a package. It was shipped in the same ship in as Dar's sand. Yeah, I see. It's a dehumidifier. Yes. You'll understand when you get there. Like, you can't really get around this planet. Until you look at it now, it's broken.
Starting point is 00:08:20 It's full of sand. Well, I don't know what you're going to do, but you need... Well, we have a dehumidifier. We traded it with old Derv. You're going to need that on the mission because it is moit. Uh, no, no. We can't bring the dehumidifier on a mission. It's for here on the ship. You have to have it for the mission.
Starting point is 00:08:40 No, we can't bring it on a mission. That's not something we can do. Okay, C-53, calm. Okay, what is going on, C-53? All right. The dehumidifier cube slot is currently occupied by an experiment of mine.
Starting point is 00:08:57 So it can't... What kind of experiment? It cannot come on the mission. It's not ready for polite society yet. Repeat after me. Yes. The dehumidifier is going on the mission. No, I can't do that.
Starting point is 00:09:15 Okay, hold on a second. Normally, I am not the kind of person who needs to know exactly what's going on. But C-53, what the junk is happening right now? I would say that you are normally someone who never knows what's going on. But C-53, what the chuck is happening right now? I would say that you are normally someone who never knows what's going on. It's okay for me to say. It's okay for you to say. I apologize in advance for hiding this from you, but I was conducting an experiment.
Starting point is 00:09:37 I was caught by my own curiosity. Do you remember B-69-420? Oh. Yeah. Yeah. Bino don't remember it.69 420? Ugh. Yeah. Bino don't remember it. Bino need exposition. He's very hip to industry terms. Yeah, he's really.
Starting point is 00:09:57 I don't know what it is with Bino, but he's like. Bino wants you to lay some pipe. I don't think. Wait, I want you to lay some pipe. I don't think... Wait, I want... I think Bargy should tell Beano the story of B69-420 because her ducks were full of dust that whole day. All right, so it was a bot. Got B69-420.
Starting point is 00:10:19 You got it? Mm-hmm. He loved to pump it. He did love to pump it, yes. He loved defecation holes. He did. Yeah. And he made us full of dust.
Starting point is 00:10:29 Yes. Very high, yes. And then he killed himself. Tragically, shot his own cube during a game of Truthian Roulette. So how could it have been retrieved? He shot himself right in the cube with an ion cannon. Well, a cube destroyed is not necessarily a cube gone from the universe. I secretly retrieved all the fragments of that cube,
Starting point is 00:10:52 and I've been trying to restore the cube. It's very fragile, and I needed a place to test it, so I put it in the dehumidifier. I don't know that it's ready to go out. Bring him out. Bring him out. Bring him out. Bring him out. Thank you, Beano.
Starting point is 00:11:10 All right, all right. Just know that he may be very sensitive. He might not be ready for people yet, but here we go. I'll wheel him out. 69, 420, how are you doing today? Good morning, C-53. How are you today? I'm, I'm doing well. And yourself?
Starting point is 00:11:35 You, I mean, you're welcome. I mean, please. I mean, thank you. I mean, you're welcome. I mean, please. Hi. So I mean, please. So I'm still struggling. He's missing a lot of pieces of the cube. Oh, sure. Yeah, that's evident. But I'm making some very exciting progress. Well, you know, C-53, I gotta say, I'm really glad you did this.
Starting point is 00:12:04 Who's this chucking guy? Oh, there he is. There he is. I was playing dumb. Oh, it's drier than one of Dar's uppermost flaps in here. Oh, I could kiss this dehumidifier. Yes.
Starting point is 00:12:19 I did not see this coming. No one ever sees me coming, because it's always in the corner of my self. Well, you know, why don't we go on this mission? Wait, can I ask what is a boring but essential question? Oh, who's this drinking guy? Is this Junior Sea Captain Bungalow or whatever? I'll have you know I'm not a junior anymore.
Starting point is 00:12:46 Oh, okay, so they let you carry your own weapon now? Well, I mean... Well, uh, well, uh, well, uh, well, uh, well, uh, please, thank you, you're welcome. No, please, you, thank, what? Mr. Dixer, look at how well he's roasting your ship. Yeah, he's wonderful. Wow. So I maybe have been more successful than I thought. Yeah, Dexter. Look at how well he's roasting Missions Operations Manager. Wonderful. Wow. So I maybe have been more successful than I thought.
Starting point is 00:13:08 Yeah, great job. Okay, just here. For the mission, I need to know, do you functionally dehumidify? Oh, I can suck the moisture out of anything. Okay. Drain it. Missions Operations Manager, Nermin Bundler. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:24 Are you okay with us bringing this dehumidifier on the mission? Yeah. Thank you, Nervin. Bye. See you later, Nervin. Bye. Bye. Welcome to Nosh.
Starting point is 00:13:44 Specifically, our sub-basement. I will present you to Her Royal Highness the High Princess shortly. At first I would like, as is our custom, to present you with charcuterie. Thank you very much.
Starting point is 00:13:59 Wow, thanks so much. I trust you have a dehumidifier for our climate. Absolutely we do. Dehumidifier right here. If he had hands, he would be making a weird gesture. Ah, wonderful. I'm sorry, who are you? I am the sub-priest to the High Princess.
Starting point is 00:14:19 Sure, sure. Does that mean you work in the sub-basement or you're subordinate to another priest? It's actually both. Oh, okay. All right. And what do you do about the giant piece of wood that has stuck up your defecation hole? I'm sorry? This guy's got to stick up his defecation hole, doesn't he? Do I? I mean, my species, it could happen.
Starting point is 00:14:41 Is that on the table? Well, many of us Noshians have very wide, flappy defecation holes. Oh, no, you should not have said that out loud. Why not? If I had hands, I'd do boxing training on them right now. Listen, you're just going to have to bear with us. We had a malfunction with our decommitted fire, and so this is the one we got. And can we get a little more
Starting point is 00:15:05 charcuterie here? Oh, you've already eaten all of it, haven't you? That talk of defecation holes did not slow me down. Darts. I'd like to leave just a tiny bit of the charcuterie left on the table. I don't believe in the shy bite. I'd like a little bit more. No.
Starting point is 00:15:25 In Nosh, you only get one Nosh. That's how it works. Sure, sure. I will take you into antechamber three, where you will wash yourself ritualistically, and then I will present you to the
Starting point is 00:15:34 high princess. Very well. Did you hear that man walk away? It sounded like two pieces of leather kept slapping together. I'm right behind you.
Starting point is 00:15:42 Oh! You gotta understand I don't have a neck or eyes I can't turn around And even look From the first thing I'm going all off What you guys say to me
Starting point is 00:15:53 Yeah I gotta say B68420 The fact that you can Pick all this information out With really only like A microphone And a humidity sensor Is pretty good
Starting point is 00:16:02 C53 is magic. Oh, yeah. I've made some modifications to the humidifier, obviously. Sure. Welcome to the washing room. You'll notice a very wide-sprayed bidet. I don't mind if I do. Oh, my.
Starting point is 00:16:19 Wow. If you could just get way up there. There's a lot of sand inside of me. Whoa, that's... You really got to blast it out. Wow. because I'm expecting my heat later this month, and then everything's going to turn to glass. Okay, we have... Whoa.
Starting point is 00:16:33 This is a very polite society for a culture that just sort of bidets together. When you're entering the place of royalty, one's defecation hole must be pristine. Pink one? Your trousers? Sure, thank you. And we'll just leave it on the setting that Dar asked for. That doesn't seem right. One's defecation hole must be pristine. Pink one? Your trousers? Sure. Thank you. And we'll just leave it on the setting that Dar asked for. That doesn't seem right.
Starting point is 00:16:51 You know, actually, if you could turn and look sort of the other direction while I'm doing this, because it's... Your eyes... I mean, even if we turn around, there are mirrors everywhere. That's true. It is custom for everyone to watch as this happens. MSR Dexeter, my protocols will not allow me to break eye contact with you while you perform your tasks. All right. Well, here we go.
Starting point is 00:17:13 And that butt is blasted. Is that the official? What? Yes, that's the custom. What? That butt is blasted. I don't understand. I've got to say, I sort of thought B69-420 was going to kind of be the outlier here,
Starting point is 00:17:28 but I feel like this is a planet for him. Please, thank you. You're welcome. How polite. Thank you very much. Okay, please bend over. Okay. Let the probe begin.
Starting point is 00:17:43 Did you say probe? Yes. Oh. Holy shit. Wish I had eyes. Shorter than I thought. Stronger than I thought. Heard that before. Up top.
Starting point is 00:17:58 I wish I had hands. He's been asking for hands for so long. Do not give him hands. Well, obviously. You know I'll be cranking my node the second I get hands. He's expressed a lot of interest in being able to play with his own node. All right, listen. Subpriest.
Starting point is 00:18:18 You never told me your name, Subpriest. Okay. Subpriest. Emissaries. Dehumidifier. I would like to introduce you to the High Princess of Nosh. Hey.
Starting point is 00:18:36 Hello. High Priestess. I'm Emissary Plec Dex Center. Thank you for setting up this meeting. That's freaking sweet. Oh, boy. Wow. We are honored to stand before you.
Starting point is 00:18:51 Ah, hell yeah. Detecting a change in barometric pressure. Listen, hi, princess. We really appreciate your offer. Show me your butts. Turn around. I don't do business without looking at those. Well, it is very clean.
Starting point is 00:19:11 I'm glad you asked. Very clean. And here you go. Nice, nice. I don't have a fully formed what you'd know as buttocks, but here is my posterior. I like it. This feels like a good time to ask again. Is there more snacks?
Starting point is 00:19:27 No. This is our chef. Hello. We prepare one plate of charcuterie for visitors. I will be in the kitchen where there is no food.
Starting point is 00:19:40 They just get enough food to make one charcuterie plate each day. All right, let's talk business, huh? Let's talk freaking sweet business. Very well. Sure.
Starting point is 00:19:49 We understand you are interested in providing resources by way of croons for the rebellion. We'd very much like to set the terms. Well, it's... We heard you're super wet downstairs. We are so wet, and it's so so humid and it's freaking hot. Okay? Sure. Okay? Should I turn up the dehumidifier? Okay. Please.
Starting point is 00:20:11 Thank you. Yeah, it's... Alright, that feels good. It feels like really jerking sweet. Jerking sweet? That may be a regional term. It is a regional term. Yes. I'm full.
Starting point is 00:20:28 I'm going to need to empty the tank. By all means. We have a big slop kitchen in the... Well, never mind. Sorry. Why is this a show? Why is this a show? I wasn't supposed to reveal we have a slop kitchen.
Starting point is 00:20:45 We do. You can dump things. Yep. I'm just going to take this tank over. Don't look at all the food. Chef, you have a ton of food in here. Why don't you tell other people about all this food? We have rules about one plate. If you know there's more food, they'll come back.
Starting point is 00:21:02 There's chest talons and me. I reveal there's a slop kitchen. It's a secret. And now you just dump the bucket. I don't have eyes. What is a slop kitchen? Is it where you make slop? Or is it where slop goes once it's prepared? It's A.
Starting point is 00:21:16 So you make slop? Yeah. Oh, okay. Fair enough. Yeah. I was born out of my mother's slop kitchen. Okay, well... Alright, that's our first half. We're going to take a break and get right back to it. So, you are willing to barter with the High Princess for the croon that you require? Yeah, absolutely. Can I, I'm sorry, Darcy, can I talk to you for just a second?
Starting point is 00:22:00 Oh yeah, I love these huddles. It's not customary to have an aside on Nosh. Well, it's customary for us. Oh, oh, very well. Wow. Guys, I gotta say, have you noticed some sort of inconsistencies with these guys? Like, they put out food, but then there's a slop kitchen.
Starting point is 00:22:19 And they say jerky is a part of their culture, but it wasn't on the charcuterie plate at all. Yeah, very weird. Sure, yeah. Where was the jerky is a part of their culture, but it wasn't on the charcuterie plate at all. Yeah, very weird. Yeah, where was the jerky? That was the weirdest thing that we've ever had. We're talking about inconsistencies that we've noticed. I don't know what it's like at the Roncas at Cybernetics Corporation, but when you put out a charcuterie plate, there's Jack and Jerky on that plate.
Starting point is 00:22:40 Jerky. I'm a serial dick center. I am a protocol droid. I know exactly what the composition of a charcuterie is. Yes, you're right. How dare you suggest that? Okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm not being aware of the appropriate ratio of jerky to other salted meats.
Starting point is 00:22:56 You're right, you're right. I'm just saying I feel like something is, something's going on here. I think you might be right. It is really unusual behavior. Yeah. I mean, I will go on record as saying I thought it might be right. It is really unusual behavior. Yeah. I mean, I will go on record as saying I thought it was weird when they washed our buttholes a bunch of times. You'll find that on many. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:14 That's very common. Okay. All right. And honestly, I appreciated it. Okay. We have tolerated your aside, but how long will it be? Yes, you're right. What's 69 times 2?
Starting point is 00:23:26 Dinner for four. I believe it's 138. Get a load of this chucking guy. Why don't you go back to the slob kitchen you came from? Why is the chef still here? It's customary for the chef
Starting point is 00:23:46 to participate in the barter sequence. Come on, are we doing this or not? Please, Princess, whenever you are ready. We are up to the task. Did we establish any kind of game plan in our side? Nope. Sort of got pulled out of it.
Starting point is 00:24:01 By the chef, apparently. Really calling the shots over here, chef. Hey, chef, what comes after 69? 70. Mouthwash? Oh. I am so happy he's back.
Starting point is 00:24:18 Your humidifier is very polite. See, I don't know if that's the thing. It seems sort of weird. He's sort of the opposite of polite. Not, I don't know if that's the thing. It seems sort of weird. He's sort of the opposite of polite. Not on nosh. Okay. Do you know what nosh means? Hi, princess. Will you tell them what nosh
Starting point is 00:24:34 means? Is it an acronym? Yeah. Nice. Other. Simple. Hi. Nice other simple hi. Nice other simple hi. Now I'm completely clear on everything.
Starting point is 00:25:00 But there's also another meaning for nosh. Okay, great. Sure, good. Are we going to hear about it from the chef? It's still an acronym, but it's a different one. See? I'm sorry. You shall listen to the second acronym. Yes.
Starting point is 00:25:13 Or the trade will not take place. Okay, all right. Great. It stands for... I think he's stalling. No, no, I know what it is going to be. Okay, good. No, no, I know what it is going to be. Okay, good.
Starting point is 00:25:31 Why would we know the acronyms for our own planet? It stands for neither of Silly's have it. You used two words for one letter, sir. It is customary. Yes, to you. That seems like a cop-out. Here on Nosh, have it is hyphenated. It works customary. Yes. Chad seems like a cop out. Here on Nosh, have it is hyphenated. It works.
Starting point is 00:25:49 Yeah. Not with these guys. Thank you. Thank you. Again, your dehumidifier is fantastic. Did I accidentally create a protocol droid
Starting point is 00:25:58 that's perfect for one insane planet? I think you did. We're gonna... We're gonna take your custom and have an aside of our own. Are they turned that way? Yes. I think we should do the challenges.
Starting point is 00:26:13 Yes, I think so too. Time for the challenges. They're gonna make you guys do challenges. What? Sorry, you just left me over here. That's true. That's true. We did the aside right next to him.
Starting point is 00:26:26 Yes. Challenges. What shape shall they take? All right. Okay. Chef, bring it out. I've got it all planned out. All right.
Starting point is 00:26:40 As you can see behind here, welcome to the slop kitchen. All right. You'll notice a costume for each of you. Okay. I call that one. I'll take this one. You'll notice three bound scripts.
Starting point is 00:26:57 Okay. Okay. And you know what there also is? A fourth one. Oh. You have 30 seconds to repair, and then you will perform this one act play.
Starting point is 00:27:11 Okay. It is the one act play challenge. Customary or nosh. And the one act play explains how I came into power. And you will notice that it fully explains both versions of the acronym of nosh. Oh, good.
Starting point is 00:27:22 notice that it fully explains both versions of the acronym of NOSH. Oh, good. Alright, well, let's just take a look at these scripts. Apparently, I'm playing the chef. Alright, and Plek is playing the hype princess. Perfect. Looks like B-16 and 420 is the sub-priest.
Starting point is 00:27:40 I have no eyes, so can I riff? Yeah. And I will be playing the bidet Okay Well, I think that was our time Yes Now it's curtain on opening night and closing night of Nosh And I will be doing stage direction
Starting point is 00:28:01 Oh, thank you Interior, sub-basement, night. My lady. Yo. It is customary to say yo. Very good. It's actually the wine. What shall this world be named?
Starting point is 00:28:27 Yo, how about we call it Nosh? Tis a fine name, my princess. But this word, Nosh, what does it mean? It's an acronym. It's two acronyms. When visitors come to our planet, we must explain to them what the planet's name means. We should give them one acronym. If they press us, we should give them a second.
Starting point is 00:28:49 Very good. To add layers, we should also maybe act like we're not sure what the acronym is. We cut to the bidet. Oh, wow. Okay. Very good. That was very good.
Starting point is 00:29:13 It felt like I was looking into a mirror. It was wonderful. I'm a box. Interior, sub-basement, night, continuous. I have prepared the two different meanings of now. Excellent. Which shall be the one we read first to visitors. I remember it.
Starting point is 00:29:34 We all remember it. We came up with it. Read it for us now. Nice. We cut to the bidet Alden here with a little narration at this point in the show Allie spit a bunch of water onto Seth's head wow
Starting point is 00:30:00 wow that was great that was so good interior sub-basement night moments later Wow, that was great. That was so good. Interior sub-basement night, moments later. And that was both meetings. Wonderful, wonderful. Wow, that was hella sweet. That was great.
Starting point is 00:30:22 Thank you. Wow, you've passed the one-act challenge. Yes. And now a brief ceremony. The noshka goes to the bidet. That's well-deserved. Well-deserved, Dara. My favorite part of one-act plays are, of course, the two cutaways.
Starting point is 00:30:42 Very easy to pull off live. It is customary in our planet to cut away twice during a one-act play. Next challenge. Yes, of course. Arm wrestling. Two of you will have to arm wrestle each other, and the winners will arm wrestle each other, and that winner will parlay with us for the croon.
Starting point is 00:31:06 It's an arm wrestling tournament? Not more of a dehumidifier than anything else. It must be four. No more, no less. But B69 420 doesn't have an arm. C53, the time has come. Please. B69 420, I can't be sure you're ready for this.
Starting point is 00:31:30 I'm ready. What other choice do we have? One of us has to win the arm wrestling tournament to parlay. You know, CP53, you do have that helper arm, that third helper arm. That's right. I don't even really use it very much. Very well. Allow me to detach this arm and affix it to you.
Starting point is 00:31:47 Oh, hell yeah! Yes! Yeah! Yeah! No! No! I regret this immediately. Chef! Chef!
Starting point is 00:32:02 Look at me, Chef! Look me in the eyes, Chef! Oh, boy! Very good. We're gonna need the slop kitchen. Please! Thank you! You are... They passed the challenge.
Starting point is 00:32:20 They passed the challenge. You have passed the arm wrestling challenge. Yes. Yes. But does that mean They pass the challenge. You have passed the arm wrestling challenge. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yeah. Does that mean B69420 parlays with you? Yes.
Starting point is 00:32:31 Dehumidifier, you will parlay with the high princess. I got this, guys. I'm very concerned about this. Humidifier, I feel like you, like, you, like, get me. You know what I mean? I do know what you mean. Guys, I can't go back on this ship with these dorks. I want to live with you guys.
Starting point is 00:32:56 Down here in sub-basement night continuous. What say you, High Princess? Let's do this. The parlay is complete. Wow. Do they get the crew? Wow. Thank you to the chef for reminding us why we were here in the first place.
Starting point is 00:33:11 Very important. Yeah. They won the arm wrestling contest, won the dehumidifier masturbated, as is custom, and they successfully performed the one-act play with two asides. What say you, High Princess? Yes. Oh, great. Fantastic. They win, and they get a check.
Starting point is 00:33:31 Oh, wow. It's one of those big checks. Oversized novelty checks. Yeah, just don't cash it in for a couple months. Ah! I know that was technically a win, but it felt like a loss. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, I got to say, I really learned something about the galaxy today. Oh, tell us, Fleck.
Starting point is 00:34:02 What did you learn? Summarize it. Well, I think we've had it pretty easy going to a lot of these planets where everything kind of makes sense. There's a lot of analogous sort of situations that we can kind of say, hey, look, we've never been here,
Starting point is 00:34:15 but we kind of get it. We were in over our heads on this one, and I think we nailed it. I mean, I have a protocol, Jordan. I haven't heard of any of this. Yeah. It just seems weird. I'm feeling a lot better.
Starting point is 00:34:30 Oh, congratulations. That's great. You know, I was like, my career's over. There's really nothing happening, you know. But I had a talk. With who? With Bino. Oh.
Starting point is 00:34:40 Bino had a five-year plan for Bargy. Bino, what's a five-year plan? Uh, it starts with generals. Just feeling it out. Bino had a couple of contacts I didn't know. Bino, no. Bino had a couple of contacts? Bino's only ever been on the show.
Starting point is 00:35:02 I don't know. He said he knows some of the great people in Hollywood, you know? He knows Josh Lorraine. He knows Jim the Cat. He don't go way back. He don't go way back? It doesn't seem possible. Margie, did you agree to 20%?
