Hi everybody, welcome! Thanks so much for coming to the show!
It's so great to see everybody here. What a great crowd.
This is it?
Sort of. I mean, you know, it's not it-it, but it's it for now, for live shows for now.
We have a lot of fun surprises in store for you.
Thanks for making it out.
We are in our fifth and final season.
The finale is
in process.
It's very good and very
poignant.
Both from the characters'
perspectives and our own.
We are so glad we got to do another show here
at the Bell House. Now, because in the show, we are nearing our last episode and uh it sort of wouldn't fit for us to
put an episode in in this timeline so we're going to set this between episodes 517 and 518 so what
we normally would do would be to ask someone who has a particularly good jeremy crutchley impression
to read our new crawl for us but But somebody actually already volunteered to do that,
so we're going to bring them out now.
Come on out.
It's Jeremy Crutchley, ladies and gentlemen.
Oh, yeah.
You gotta get the real thing.
Fun fact.
This is the first time we've ever met him in person,
so this is just as exciting for us.
All right.
So, Jeremy, whenever you're ready, you and Shane can take it away.
Thank you.
The end of the space road is on the horizon.
The ass end.
Ah, the intrepid crew of the Bargerian Jade.
Zeman Knight Plek Dexeta.
C-53.
Da!
A-J-2884!
Nermut Bundeloy!
And Justin Ballweed.
They blast towards their destinies full of hope, fear
and a nagging suspicion that they've sort of left a lot of loose ends
stangling about
as their inevitable confrontation with their whack arch enemy
Corbales
draws closer Arch-enemy Kor-Bael-thor!
Draws closer and closer and closer.
The crew has brief respite in hyperspace as they confront the reality that their stories
and perhaps their lives are finally drawing to a close.
Really, I think they should be phoning their moms
or something, something, whatever.
It's not up to me.
I'll be okay, I'll be okay.
Now, with mere hours left before it all comes to an end,
our heroes
must take
stock of their lives,
their friendships, their
to-do lists,
before it is all
too late
on their nearly
finished Too late on their nearly finished mission to
Zix! Thank you. Wow.
Wow what?
I was just thinking, you know, it's sort of the end, you know,
as I'm looking out the window and seeing all the...
End of what?
The what? What's the end, you know, as I'm looking out the window and seeing all the... End of what? The what?
What's the end of?
The end of our journey. We're almost to Muffalata Secundus. We're about to
confront Kor Baelvor. Yeah, but we're
going to do something after that, right?
Not for a while,
probably. Really? We're just going to
like, stop doing something? Well, I mean, chances
are good we're going to die, AJ, but even
if we don't, I think we deserve a break, right?
What?
What?
What, Bargy?
What is it?
What did you say?
Die?
Yeah, I mean, I don't want to scare you guys, but, like, this is a big deal.
We're about to confront somebody who has been preparing to defeat us for years.
Check, check.
Why are we all talking into microphones right now?
Yeah, actually, that's sort of a good question,
Dar. Alright, everyone
calm down, okay?
Yeah, Bargy, listen, I know
you and C-53 have been rushing around
the ship, sort of like setting stuff up, and I
kind of tried to ignore it, but
there's a lot going on
yeah we're all on mic also seriously we're not doing anything after we we'll do something we're
gonna hang out obviously I just don't want to make any promises I mean we're not going on a
mission are we gonna really really hang out are we just gonna say we're going to I mean that's a
good question don't worry about it I have a sound guy coming in right now.
He's setting up the mics.
He's fixing it up.
It's got a switch.
C-53.
You know.
C-53.
Wow.
You know, I'm still getting used to this kek body.
It's got some hair and stuff.
Yeah, don't do that.
No, it doesn't.
You know, Stephen, you're the one of us who should be,
that should be your first move looking for this witch.
Well, fair enough.
So what are the mics for?
Well, Bargy and I realized, you know,
we haven't done a proper finale for Cube to Cube.
Wait.
What's Cube to Cube?
Now, AJ, you know what Cube to Cube is.
You've been on.
I like that question.
I feel like someone should answer that question for everybody present.
Wait.
Is this the podcast where you guys do drugs?
It's about more than that.
It's about pop culture.
It's about, um...
You know, previous episodes of the podcast.
Some may call it a very irritating experience.
So you guys are doing, like, a finale?
Yeah.
Why? Well, AJ, a finale? Yeah. Why?
Well, AJ, you just said we might all die, so...
Right, but, like, it's a podcast.
It doesn't need a finale.
Yeah, that's a pretty good point.
That's a good...
Whoa, AJ, the sound guy did not like that comment.
Yeah, AJ, don't tempt the board op.
You know, they're going to...
I'm just saying, it's like, it's a podcast.
Just don't put it out anymore.
I guess my question, though, is, Bargy, C-53,
like, usually you guys just do it.
You know, C-53's got a mic.
Bargy's recording internally.
What's all the mics about?
Like, why are you doing it like this?
When you do a finale, Black Daniel, you put out all the stops.
You make it a show.
You bring in a live audience.
Wait, there's...
Who are these?
Barchi, where did all these people come from?
Yeah, we're in hyperspace.
How did people get aboard the ship? Also, it's
a podcast. Why does it have
to be live? The whole
point of it is that it's
not live. Yeah,
it's also, there's no visual element to it.
Why are people going to come sit in a room
while we're just all talking to microphones?
That's insane.
Alright. Well, I don't know.
We put out the call on the previous episode
of the podcast and this is how many people
showed up. That's pretty good.
That's not bad. Well, I guess
the other question I have is
you guys don't have any hyper proton fuel.
What's the plan? Are you guys just going to do
it normal?
Yeah. Sure.
You never needed it.
You never needed drugs to be cool.
All right, well, I guess we have a few hours
until we get to Muffalata Secundus.
And Nervin is our director.
Hello.
I've got a clipboard here.
Okay, so everyone, you should check your email
because you've got the rundown of the day,
and we've got talent listed in descending order of importance.
Ascending order.
Descending.
I'm the director.
Okay.
Talent, it's a podcast, I mean, right?
AJ, relax.
I can see your shit-eating grin through your helmet.
Nermit, you say descending order of
importance? Why are there three empty spaces
before my name at the bottom?
Several of the guests were not
able to make it. So at least
I should... They're still more
important than me. Their absence is still... Okay.
Alright. It says
sound op. What does that do?
Sound op. Yeah, so you...
Here's a soundboard for you.
It's a simple keypad, easy.
So you're just going to fire the sound cues during the show.
None of these are labeled.
Yeah, Plek, they all each make a separate sound.
No, I know that, but how do I know which sound each one makes?
It's a podcast.
Just wing it.
Nobody's going to give a shit.
Don't worry about it.
I can see your eyes scrunching up again through your helmet like you're saying,
I just said something funny.
Can I just say something?
If we've got real people here watching a real show for the end of Cube to Cube,
we can't be self-indulgent and spend an hour and a half
chucking around before we get to the show.
Can we get started?
Okay.
Some would say that is the show.
Okay, I'm just going to hit one of these buttons.
All right.
Oh, that's a good one, yeah.
All right, all right.
Cube to Cube.
Hey, all right.
Welcome to the final episode of Cube to Cube.
No more.
That's right.
It's over after this.
See?
No more.
Finito.
It's done so.
That's right.
The squid.
This is, well, this is the end of a long road.
Everyone nod if you can hear me on your headsets.
Great.
Oh, great.
Seems like we could have done that before we started recording.
Now, as you know, Cube to Cube is a podcast about so many things.
That's right.
Movies.
Uh-huh.
Memories.
Yep.
Hyper-proton fuel.
I mean, probably first and foremost, yeah.
And solid and gaseous members of our society.
Yes, very true.
And today, for our final episode, we will be taking a moment to honor each and every one.
Every member of our society is going to be honored on today's episode.
All right, let's just name names.
Let's just name names.
Oh, sure.
Korg.
Ferris Helfer.
Tabulon 5.
Hap and Tofentisk.
Timbalo Jimbae.
Papa.
Yeah, what is it, AJ?
So this is the podcast?
Yeah.
I'm just glad they have a creative outlet, you know?
Yeah, sure.
No, it's super important.
Now, as you know, back in the day,
C&I used to be talking mile a minute.
That's right.
We used to be insane.
We would have hyper proton fuel from top to bottom of our sentient beings, but not today.
We decided to slow it down and also talk about murder.
Yeah, Plek.
Okay, that's fine.
This is back when we were more of a true crime podcast.
Yeah, we can work that in.
Sure.
We're going to murder someone soon.
What?
I have suggestions.
Oh, yeah.
We'd love to hear them.
Dar, how do you think we should kill Kor Baelvor?
Oh.
Oh, suggestions for killing Kor Baelvor.
Yeah, that's who we're on the way to go kill, I assume.
I hope it doesn't come to that. Okay. that's who we're on the way to go kill, I assume. You know, I hope it doesn't
come to that, but
okay, it's gonna be a while.
We don't have to watch it.
You know, Cor's kind of like a misunderstood
guy, you know?
What about him have we misunderstood?
It's just that maybe
he's like felt a little
vengeful for
past wrongdoings.
You know, that could really drive a sentient crazy, you know?
See? I found hyper protons, too!
Oh, yes! Yes!
Let's go!
Let's do it!
Time for housekeeping, motherjuckers!
Woo! It's time for some housekeeping!
Housekeeping.
Barge, what do you got going on?
Today we're going to talk about the things that we didn't talk about
in the other parts of the show.
What are five nouns we forgot to mention in all 1,000 episodes?
Never talked about bananas.
You did it.
They never talked about playgrounds.
Never did.
Never talked about going on a luxury cruise with your parents.
Never did.
You almost did, but I said don't you dare.
Yeah, and I didn't do it, but we're bringing it up now.
We didn't talk about fashionable headbands
not making a comeback.
And then that fifth thing we didn't talk about was water,
which is weird.
Wow.
So this is a segment?
Yep, it's a segment, brother.
Watch out.
So, oh, listen.
Hey, audience, like, say no to drugs.
Boo.
Nerd.
And I'm not saying that just because I can't process most drugs.
Ooh, yeah, let's get into it.
Let's dive deep with AJ.
It's called the AJ Minute.
All right, AJ Minute, let's kick it off.
You know what I'm talking is gonna say.
Why don't we throw it over to you, AJ?
AJ Minute, take it.
AJ, go.
Take it.
AJ, 58 seconds.
Oh, oh.
57.
I don't do drugs because I lack a gland that can process them
because it was too expensive for the cloners to make,
and so they just left it out.
I don't have the enzymes to break down a drug.
Well, that's what was on his mind today,
and that's all we got from our friend AJ.
That's a great jingle.
It's terrific.
Everyone, AJ has moved up a slot on the talent list.
The audience is loving the segment.
Hey, nice job, AJ.
You're up.
Uh, what?
Now, the theme of today's episode
is accepting the inevitable F.
And also, it's time for some voicemail.
Oh, voicemail.
That's right.
Can we get that playback?
Maybe.
What was that?
Wrong.
Sorry.
I don't know labels on these.
Plek, are you going to do your job or are you going to pretend?
But I – okay.
Well, we know that one's pop culture.
Okay, yeah.
I was kidding.
I was, I was kidding.
No.
That's over for two, buddy.
Guys, listen.
I'm giving you one more chance.
Yeah!
All right.
Okay.
Plek, you're back in the show. Thank you. All right. Okay. Black, you're back in the show.
Thank you.
All right.
Marge, do we have any good voicemails?
We have a bunch of new voicemails.
I don't know who they are yet until they show up.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
Any guests at any moment now can just come out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And leave some sort of voicemail
that Bargy has queued up for the show.
Here it is.
Hello, this is Bert Brock.
Bert Brock.
I don't know Bert Brock.
Bert Brock.
I was wondering if you'd ever come back.
Now that you're gone, would you come back? Because a lot of people have asked me
if I'd come back.
And I'm wondering, is there a future
beyond this, the end?
And also, did Plek
ever jug?
Well, to answer the second
question first, no.
No, the answer's no.
That voicemail...
Wow.
I feel like that voicemail, for the first three quarters of it,
I was like, this guy's calling into the wrong podcast.
And then it got real specific at the end.
Uh-huh, yeah, yeah.
Pretty weird.
Barge, what do you think?
I think you just accept what's coming to you,
and you never look back, and you never do things twice.
And, you know, you have no regrets, is what I say. Wow.
That's good advice, Margie.
Then you get jugged up, baby!
Oh, boy.
Okay, all right.
Do we got another voicemail?
Oh, there it is.
Okay, yeah, there it is.
We're sorry.
Hi, I couldn't tell if it beeped, so I'm just going to start my voicemail now.
Hi, I am a ship.
Okay.
Big fan, Bargy.
Really big.
I'm a really big ship. And I was wondering how you keep passengers off of you,
how you just stand up for yourself and say, no, you cannot board.
Also, did Plek ever...
You know, I don't even want to think about it.
To answer your second question first, no.
Yeah.
And honestly, for the second one, I want you to answer it secretly.
Barge, this is a great honor.
You're a good part of me, so I just want to know.
Okay.
Do you feel you feel the same way that I do?
How does Barge keep passengers to offer?
Well, a lot of times you take off with the back door open.
Yeah, I do that.
It's hard to hang on.
Yeah.
You know, I've got these cat claws, and before I had clamp hands, you know,
and sometimes people just don't have the grip.
Hey, Nermit?
Yeah?
Is this going well to you?
Oh, yeah.
It is?
This is by far the best episode of Cube to Cube.
Wow.
Also, craft services just got here about two hours late.
It's going to be awkward, but we can kind of individually go eat.
Anyway.
Nermit.
Nermit.
Your whole thing is organization.
It really feels like you're flying by the seat of your pants right now.
My pants were eaten by rats.
I know.
You got to get more pants, bud.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
I'm going to press another one of these buttons.
Okay.
Oh, Nermit. One of these buttons. Okay. Oh, Nermit.
One of these buttons
plays speeder ride?
Nermit, you loaded
your own single
onto the soundboard?
That's Bermit's single.
How do I turn this off?
Okay.
Black, you're about to lose
that board op job.
I literally...
Nermit just handed this to me like 10 minutes ago.
Should we have the professional sound person we hired do it?
I could take over for you.
Oh, sure.
I think that would be for the best.
Cool, thanks.
I don't know why you guys asked me to do it in the first place.
Sorry for trying to involve you.
Also, just a warning that we are about to start recording.
Nerman!
Wait, wait, Nerman, Nerman!
Yeah.
Are you telling me we just missed all that gold,
all those fantastic boys?
If you record the first bit, you're just going to ramp up.
Start on the top of the 30,000-foot flight, baby.
We're only at 30,000 feet?
We should be flying much higher.
Hey, here's a question.
If we are all going to die,
is this how we want to spend
kind of some of our last moments?
Yeah, I mean, actually,
AJ really brings up a good point.
This is a new segment we're calling
Confessions.
Ooh, I like it, Barge.
All right.
AJ, what do you got?
Is this how you want
to be spending
your final moments?
I don't get
the whole podcast thing.
I'm sort of like,
what's a podcast?
That's, I guess,
what I'm asking.
Well, the term podcast
originally came from,
you know,
the planet
Klelelux,
and people would
be birthed into those pods
and they would have to cast out
an embryonic tendril
into the brain of
a nearby mammal, and
then broadcast their thoughts
into that brain so it would tear open
the pod and release them. And sometimes
you get ad sponsorship. Yeah,
also that was part of it, yeah. Oh, speaking
of, I think we have an ad right now. AJ, maybe you should ad sponsorship. Yeah, also that was part of it. Oh, speaking of, I think we have an ad right now.
AJ, maybe you should read it.
Okay.
Wow.
When I'm flying through space and I want to keep things cool,
nothing's better than a cool pack coal sack.
I know that we do a lot of these sorts of things, but this is something I actually use.
Yeah, so type in the code C2C and get 20% off a pack.
Look at how well you read all that.
So now they think that I actually use this?
Yeah. Because I said it on a podcast? You read all that. So now they think that I actually use this?
Yeah.
Is that because I said it on a podcast?
Everyone believes it 100%. Okay.
Well, this is a part of the podcast where I say the stakes just got a little higher
because my hall will not close officially, and we're starting to lose stuff.
So I say we fall in love with this podcast.
The studio audience is much smaller. We're losing audience members. officially, and we're starting to lose stuff. So I say we follow you on with this podcast.
We're losing
audience members. Oh, I guarantee we're losing
audience members.
Yeah.
Yeah, I could have told you that.
Well, Marge,
you know, since it's the finale, I think we ought to
take some calls from listeners.
Oh, okay, sure, yeah.
Yeah, do we have anyone on the soundboard?
Incoming call.
Okay, great.
Hey, you're on with Seepin' the Squid.
What's your question, caller?
What do you want?
Wow, I made it through?
Yes, you did.
You're our first and only caller.
Wow.
Okay, big, big fan.
And, Bargy, I have seen all of your
Hollows and I read all of
The gossip columns about you and I know
Everything about your love life
So my question is
If I'm a droid and I'm in love
With a Tolorian
How much negging is too much negging?
Well, why don't we go to a clip to my last date
Uh, Virgie.
What's wrong with your face?
We dated for 19 months.
Wow.
It's a long relationship.
Um, that was really helpful.
Thank you.
I'm not sure how, but I'm glad you got some closure, caller.
Yeah, thank you so much.
Big fan.
Okay.
Hey, wow.
Director, do we have any other call callers in we do we have another call
coming in great it's happening caller you're on with seafin the squid what is your question
uh hi seafin the squid uh my name is eric seven hello eric seven and And I just wanted to ask,
what is your morning skincare routine like?
The junk?
Sorry, is that a question for the bug or for the ship?
That's a question for the ship.
I'm looking to know what your morning skincare routine is
for your metal exterior chassis,
your bow, your stern,
your port, and your starboard.
Well, funny you ask, because it's our latest ad sponsor.
AJ, take it away.
Hey, everybody, it's me latest ad sponsor. AJ, take it away.
Hey, everybody.
It's me, Bargy.
When I get started in the morning,
you want to know how I get my glow?
Well, that's easy.
Chipsh Shine 9000.
It's an exfoliant and industrial strength metal cleaner.
Just a dab on my hull or my bow or my stern or my port. Uh-huh.
Or aft even.
Uh-huh.
Sometimes on the radar dish. Or aft, even. Mm-hmm. Sometimes on the radar
dish. Code is
C2C.
This is Bajie, and I approve of this ad.
Thank you, caller.
Thank you, first time, long time.
That was really
confusing.
Yeah, you put the story of
the podcast into the ads.
I get that part. I'm told advertisers
hate it. Yeah, advertisers
hate it. Yeah, we haven't had
any ads in a while. I wonder if that's...
Probably unrelated. Okay.
But I think this relates to our
new segment that we will create
a new song for called Plex
Breakdown.
Plex Breakdown!
I like this new sound guy.
Yeah, this guy
can follow me.
Now when you say Plex Breakdown, do you want
me to have a breakdown or break something down?
Just keep talking the way you want.
Whatever you want to do, buddy.
They both qualify.
Okay, Plex Dexeter here. Thanks for listening to the show. Okay. They both qualify. Okay.
Plec Dexeter here.
Thanks for listening to the show.
I hope you're enjoying the finale.
I just want to say a couple things.
One, if my parents are listening to this,
I would like to apologize for not calling you
as I head to what probably will be my last adventure.
Sorry to interrupt.
Please tie it into murder as well.
This is the murder song? You don't have another song as well. This is the murder song?
You don't have another song?
You got to play the murder song?
Now that's a breakdown.
Okay.
I hope he has tissues.
What?
Do you have tissues with you, Papa?
In case you cry.
Oh, yeah.
No, no.
I don't need that.
Cleck, this segment is testing amazingly with our live focus groups. I refuse
to believe that. Go deep. Go deep.
Go deep.
I just want to say
I think this is probably as good a time as
any. We're headed
towards our destinies.
Some of us have prophecies. Some of us
don't, but I think we can all agree.
A humble brag. Wait, what?
I mean, we're all in it together is what I'm saying.
Raise your hand if you have a prophecy.
Okay.
Okay.
Oh, wow, the sound guy?
Wow.
Wait, hold on. Sound guy, what's your prophecy?
It had something to do with a worm.
I don't totally remember
what the thing was, but I think I with a worm. I don't totally remember what the thing was,
but I think I beat a worm or something.
I bet you that will all come to light very soon.
You know enough about a prophecy about you
to know it's about a worm and that's it?
I mean...
Oh, sorry.
Has your prophecy always been crystal clear, Fleck?
I think it's a good one, though.
Okay. Probably. I hope so. Good luck, man. Keep us a good one, though. Okay.
Probably.
I hope so.
Good luck, man.
Keep us posted.
Hey, Nermit.
Yeah.
Do you still think this is going well?
AJ, I haven't actually started recording yet.
Nermit!
I think I'm going to record.
Yeah?
We haven't recorded any of this.
No, but it's getting.
Once it's.
We're going to.
I need you to turn the recorder on right now.
Fine.
And I want a caller.
Okay.
You're on with Zeef and the Squid.
What is your question?
Hey, this is Jack.
Oh.
Father of Cheyenne, the very handsome piano ball.
Oh, damn, Blake.
Listen, things have been weird since you left.
A bunch of kids built a big golf course.
Oh, no.
And pushed a piano ball into one of the holes.
And we can't get out.
So we need a lot of people
to sing a big chord
so we can grow legs
to get out of the golf hole.
Wait.
Oh, this is a tough voicemail
to get when we're on the way
somewhere else.
Yeah.
And in a different galaxy.
Yeah.
But we have a couple hundred people here
who could maybe all sing
this chord together.
Oh, that's a good point.
Also, if the chord is bad, we'll explode. Oh, that's a good point. Also, if the chord is bad,
we'll explode.
Oh, wow.
Oh, thanks.
So it's really up to you what chord you want to do.
Oh, okay.
As long as it's a good chord.
I think
AJ should kick it off, right?
Why me? Oh, yeah, because I was in
Clint's sink. That's right.
I do have a history in the biz.
Okay.
So, all right, we got to get him out of this golf hole.
Okay.
So let's start, audience, with some of you go,
bah.
There you go.
Good, good.
And some of you go, ah. And some of you go, and some of you go,
AJ, I don't think your military
great pitch correction is working.
It's good.
Oh, no!
Oh, no!
Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no!
Oh, no!
Oh, no!
Oh, no!
It worked!
Oh, yeah!
Wow.
See? Told you.
Wow, that really could have gone either way
for a second there.
Wait, what are you guys even doing?
Oh, hey, Justin.
Hey, Justin.
We're just doing Cube to Cube.
What are you doing right now?
I don't...
I'm trying to slap.
It's Justin.
I'm trying to slap.
Justin, we know.
Sorry, we're just doing the last Cube to Cube.
Wait.
You know, Cube to Cube, the podcast that Bargie and I do.
Justin, as a young person, do you listen to podcasts?
No, I only watch Talk Talks.
Ah, yeah.
Yeah, sure.
You know, it's even your third year at Bargy.
Maybe you should consider doing a Talk Talk thing instead.
Well, we put a couple of episodes of Cube to Cube on Talk Talk,
and they were roundly criticized.
You guys have a problem.
You should stop doing drugs.
Hey, buddy, why don't you back off?
I care about you.
It's not good. Do you think this is good?
We haven't even started recording because you guys are talking about it.
I told you to start recording.
I might.
Now that's a breakdown.
I'm sick of it. I'm sick of always everyone being like, no, AJ, no, AJ.
It's like, I'm awesome.
I kick ass.
Yeah, okay.
Oh, yeah?
Well, I'm sick of you dumping on my podcast.
This podcast brings a lot of people a lot of joy.
So why don't you back off, tough guy?
And I say, why don't you integrate what you're saying right now to this latest angry so we can actually get some jerking money out of this.
You know, sometimes when I'm thirsty, the thing I really want to reach for is a big old glass of gurt milk.
It's already got the vitamins that I need.
And it's already got the vitamins that i need and it's tasty too when i'm having an emotional breakdown how did you guys like write this in the copy we've got a lot of live writers
just working on this when i'm having an emotional breakdown arguing with my friends about what exactly a podcast is,
I really like a tall, cool glass of Gurt Milk right by my side.
Gurt Milk.
Gurt Milk?
It's a great tag.
To be clear, Gurt is not a brand.
It's an animal.
Yeah.
That was not a paid sponsorship, just sort of. If it's not a paid sponsorship, what is it? Oh, that's kind is not a brand. It's an animal. Yeah. That was not a paid sponsorship. Just sort of.
If it's not a paid sponsorship, what is it?
Oh, that's kind of a good question.
Nermit.
Yeah.
So we just read it for what?
You don't love animals?
No, I do, but like. AJ, you don't love animals?
I do love animals.
AJ, you don't love animals?
What's happening?
Well, that's what was on his mind today.
That's all we got from our friend AJ.
Oh.
That was another AJ minute that had a pen but not a start.
Yeah.
I just find it sort of strange that we've done four ads without having rolled yet.
Now, I don't want to alarm anybody, but it's a final voicemail from a group of people.
Oh, multiple people left a voicemail together?
We're sorry.
Multiple people.
Okay, great.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
That's a huge...
How many people do you think are on this voicemail?
Oh, wow.
That's a giant...
A lot of people share a phone.
It's normal.
Yeah, sure.
All right, let's play it.
Hi, my name's Laird Trammell,
and I work for the Intergalactic Universal Census.
And you members of the Bargerian Jade
have not returned any of the census forms.
True.
And have made my life
jucking miserable.
And I found that you have time
for a podcast,
but not time for the forms.
That's a tough one.
Oh, right, I forgot.
This is that census worm
that has like ten or nine heads.
Oh, yeah.
So it's less of a question,
more of an airing of grievance.
Although there is one question.
If Plek has jucked and has sired children, then I'm going to need to know that number because that's extra people to put on that.
Oh, sure, yeah, it's a census question.
You can at least fill that part of the form in.
What do the other heads of the census aliens have to say?
Yeah, the other heads have grievances?
What are they?
Oh, look, how's it going?
I was just calling.
It was my first time
listening to a long-time caller. I'm really excited
to talk to you, but I want to get a personal invitation
to Bargey. Come on!
It's a total ball proposal
considering our slip show.
What? Yes, okay. I'll be there.
Bargey, it's a voicemail.
Wait.
That was one of the census worm heads?
Yeah. Keep it going.
I'm so excited to see you. I love you. I love you. Wait, that was one of the census worm heads? Yeah, keep it going.
I think we got to play the murder music. I think that would curse me.
Yeah, not good.
Jontawa, Jontawa.
Yeah, one of them speaks Jontawa Juntawa Juntawa Juntawa that checks out
Juntawa
that's good
that's good
you know when you're one of many heads
on one body and you have a crush on one of the other heads
what do you
what do you do to get together
head to tension
hi I am the final ahead of the tension?
Hi, I am the final head of the census,
and I just wanted to point out that we are at the end of the census, and sometimes reaching the end is the most important yet most difficult part
to just say we're done with the sentence.
Very wise.
Very wise.
That's a good point.
That's a good point.
I didn't get it.
What?
The end is hard, but it's also important?
Nah.
Right?
Well, see, I think that, uh, I think we should, uh,
I think we should, uh... Start recording?
I think we should.
I agree.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
I'm going to see
if you feel what I'm feeling.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm feeling what you're feeling.
We better do some hyper-pro talk.
You're my good friend.
I mean mean are people

I'm Lisa Hanawalt. And I'm Emily Heller. Nine years ago, we started a podcast to try and learn
something new every episode. Things have gone a little off the rails since then.
Tune in to hear about...
Low-stakes neighborhood drama.
Gardening.
The sordid, nasty underbelly of the horse girl lifestyle.
Hot sauce.
Addiction to TV and sweaty takes on celebrity culture.
And the weirdest, grossest stuff you can find on wikipedia.org.
We'll read all of it, no matter how gross.
There's something for everyone on our podcast, Baby Geniuses.
Hosted by us, two horny adult idiots.
Hang out with us as we try and fail to retain any knowledge at all.
Every other week on Maximum Fun.

Comedy and culture.
Artist owned.
Audience supported.
So one thing we like to do is invite you,
if you're willing, to be in the show.
The podcast.
We have one more episode.
We need some crowd sound.
So if you'd like to do that,
please do.
If you don't want to do it,
just don't say anything.
So, Mujan, you had an idea of where we'd start.
Oh, sure. Okay.
So, this is very important.
This is a big part of the episode.
If everyone could just meow like a tiny cat.
It's not on the sheet, and it's not for the show.
Shut up. It's on the sheet.
Shut up. It's on the sheet.
I'll do an example.
