Starting point is 00:00:00 This is CRet IT5 with our final off-season episode before Season 5. That's right, Season 5 is right around the corner. I'm asleep. Keep your head on a swivel. Perimeter setting. Hallway clear. Moving down other hallway. Oh, Sisu and that other hallway. Oh. Sisu and that other guy. Maybe I'll take a quick listen.
Starting point is 00:01:16 Looks serious. Maybe it's breakup. Don't get the hopes up. Put your hopes down on the ground. Oh, they's true. Don't get the hopes up. Put your hopes down on the ground. Oh, they're up. Rolfus, the wall has crumbled. And I just have to say this, and I'm only going to say this once, and don't you dare repeat it back to me.
Starting point is 00:01:34 Say it. Say it. You are my one and only. Oh, wow. Thank you for being so vulnerable. I wish I hadn't heard or seen this touching moment. Okay, AJ. You know what you have to do.
Starting point is 00:01:52 Dig deep. Hey, AJ. What are you up to, buddy? It's just, you know, I was using your arm as a pillow, you were using Dar's arm as a pillow, and, you know, when you leave, the circle just sort of gets broken, and without any heat, it's just, you know, we gotta stick together. Hey, hey, hey, get down on the ground. Get down on the ground. Wait, what? What are you talking about, AJ?
Starting point is 00:02:19 Present your fake. My fake? F-A-I-C. Federal Alliance Identification Card. Yeah, I know what it stands for. AJ, what year is it? I'm not a plate of glass. You get down on the ground.
Starting point is 00:02:30 What are you talking about? Hey, AJ. Whoa, whoa, whoa. You want to come back to the cuddle puddle? We're at headquarters. We got a giant 12-foot monster chest talons holding a toaster. Could be weaponized. Send backup.
Starting point is 00:02:43 Repeat, send backup. No, I'm not weaponized. The toaster is speaking. I've got the weakest one down on the ground. Okay, all right. Hey, guys, I think AJ, like, mind wiped or something, but, like, more than usual. I think we may be in a situation where AJ has done what Clint's used to refer to as a deep clean. It's a little more intense than a mind wipe.
Starting point is 00:03:05 Wow. Ugh. It can have little more intense than a mind wipe. Wow. Ugh. It can have some pretty severe effects. Yikes. How far back does the deep clean take you? Well, he's asking for a fake, which has existed for at least three years. He's trying to open fire on us right now.
Starting point is 00:03:19 Not firing guns, not throwing guns. Ow. Come on, what's the racket? Oh, hey, Nermit. I was having a great dream. We're just trying to... Something's wrong with AJ. I think he did a deep clean.
Starting point is 00:03:32 Got a hostage. I got a hostage. This little scorpion. It tickles. AJ. AJ, put the Lurd down. Okay, now there are two giant aliens with chest talons. You'll never
Starting point is 00:03:48 take me alive. Deploying butt gun. Oh, come on, AJ. It's empty. My butt gun is empty. Yeah, we know. He ran out of ammo for that like months ago. This is it. I can't figure one out.
Starting point is 00:04:03 Come here. I'm gonna give you a hug. Maybe there's another butt gun. No, there isn't. The paste is just... There isn't. I've checked before. Come here.
Starting point is 00:04:13 Please don't hurt me. Oh, AJ. AJ. It's going to be okay. We're going to figure this out. How do you know who I am? I mean, for one thing, it says it on your shoulder, but also, we're your friends. Yeah, we're your friends, AJ.
Starting point is 00:04:26 We're your family. Wait, so I did a deep clean? I think so, buddy. That sounds right. How deep? How deep we talking? I mean... What's the last Shirk movie you remember? Shirk who? Oh, no. Oh, no, AJ.
Starting point is 00:04:42 Okay. Okay, well, AJ, we'd be happy to try and jog your memory here. Yeah, okay, okay. Just treat me like I'm a newcomer to your adventures and just, like, do a kind of quick recap. I'll write it all down. I mean, if you're looking for brevity or clarity, you've got the wrong group.
Starting point is 00:05:00 No, no, no, no, no, guys. No, I think we could really sum up what we've been up to in the last few years in a cogent and helpful way for AJ and, you know, anyone who might be new to our adventures. Well, all right. Fair enough. Let's give it a shot. Sure. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:16 I think the inevitable failure doesn't mean we shouldn't try. Yes. Wait. What? Let's lock and recap. First things first. Who are all of you? Oh's lock and recap. First things first, who are all of you? Oh, boy.
Starting point is 00:05:29 Okay. Well, I am Zima Knight, Plek Deck Setter, a warrior of the ancient religion known as the space, and your mentor. Oh, okay. I would really say it takes a village. Okay, sure. I would really say it takes a village. Okay, sure.
Starting point is 00:05:50 I'm Dar, uh, intimidatingly sexy alien. Currently, Captain, I consider myself also one of your mentors. Oh, yeah, you seem like a much better mentor. Okay. And, you know, uh, I have the heart of a dancer. Well, you're also jucking enormous, so I'm going to write that down. AJ, I am C-53 Protocol and Diplomatic Relations Droid, albeit somewhat humbled by having lost his droid frame. The cube holding my sentience is currently stored within this toaster.
Starting point is 00:06:18 So you're a toaster? No, I'm the cube. Yeah, but the voice is coming out of the toaster. Yes, well, that's because my cube is inside the toaster. You know, we just haven't found another frame to put my cube in. Toaster that thinks he's a robot. Got it. He does make great toast. You can make toast.
Starting point is 00:06:39 Obviously I can make toast. I'm inside a toaster. I am Mermit Bundeloy. My most recent title is Temporary Emergency Emissarial Negotiations and Missions Operations Manager. And I assign the missions to this crew. Tiny Lizard Man. His plumage is aggressive in some ways. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:06:57 Hey, just wanted to chime in and say I'm sorry that it's cold. The thing is I'm very tired. Pargy, you've got to conserve your energy. Right. But I want to shake got to conserve your energy. Right. But I want to shake, shake, shake my tush. No, Bargy, that's not how it's going to be. Don't do that.
Starting point is 00:07:13 I think that's the perfect way to call me Bargy. That's all I want to do. Wait. Is this who I think it is? Yes, it's me. I am the Bajirish. Oh, yes. This is incredible.
Starting point is 00:07:25 Oh, he knows Barji? Everybody knows Barji. Gotta love him. But also, usually my energy is a little high. Currently, I am running on whatever negative energy is. Okay. Can you do your famous catchphrase for me? Open your door, you jack-jacker. Oh, yeah. Classic.
Starting point is 00:07:44 Sit this juice, you jack-chuck-er. Oh, yeah. Classic. Sip this juice, you chuck-knock. Wow. Whoa. Cool. I love you since the day you opened your hatch, Peter. Yes. Man, I love you since the day you opened your hatch, Peter.
Starting point is 00:08:27 It's a classic. And hey, you've reached Rod. Oh, hi there. It's Tiff. And hey, you've reached Rod. We're so sorry we missed you. Yeah, sorry about that. We're probably... you know. Yeah, you know. You know what we're talking about. You know, you know. Don't they, Tiff?
Starting point is 00:08:42 Oh, they know, Rod. We're talking about... Dipsy. Just because you've grown up doesn't mean you've outgrown bedtime stories.

That's a 30-day free trial when you go to D-I-P-S-E-A Stories.com slash Zix.
Starting point is 00:09:58 DipsyStories.com slash Zix. And when you hear the beep, I think you know what to do. I think you know exactly what's happening. I think you know what that beep means. Recipient has exceeded allotted time. Okay. Tell me what happened. Sure, sure.
Starting point is 00:10:27 I first met the rest of the crew when I joined up with the Federated Alliance, who I didn't know was evil at the time, but obviously it turned out to be pretty evil. No, come on. How could they be evil? They cloned me and millions of other clients and they sent us out in the galaxy. And that's like cool. And then we, you know, we reinforced the law and, you know, kind of suppressed rebellion and freedom and.
Starting point is 00:10:52 Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's sort of like. They were evil, AJ. That's why we defected. That's why you defected too. Right.
Starting point is 00:11:00 Right. Okay. But we don't say all hail the Federated Alliance anymore. No, we don't say that anymore. So wait, what would you guys do? Like, what was like a typical day? So basically, I would spend a lot of time preparing detailed mission instructions hours before calling them.
Starting point is 00:11:18 They would go do the mission. But like, even while they're there, I'd be prepping the next one. The missions were primarily a lot of prep work on the instructions, and then... The missions were primarily prep work? Yeah. I sort of think the missions were primarily missions. Yeah. I mean, that's a pretty limited view just from someone who goes on the mission.
Starting point is 00:11:37 All right, so this is what happens during the missions. Okay. They all interrupt each other. They all personally share too much information. Then they disappear for hours on end Sometimes days I get worried I call out their names
Starting point is 00:11:51 I wait by the door Oh, thank you, Bargy I go eat a snack I take a nap I go by the door again I go take a snack I do a nap I think you're sort of describing a cat.
Starting point is 00:12:06 Yeah, it's like getting kind of a limited picture of what we did. Then I turn on my belly, and I wave my belly around. No, I think, no, Barge, I think that's what I'm saying. Okay, this is a cat, this is a cat. That's what a cat does. Yeah, Barge, is this prep for some role, or? Yeah, AJ, you can rest your hand a little bit now. I don't think all that needs to go in the notebook.
Starting point is 00:12:27 Oh, okay. Meowgy was tough as hell. What should go in there is that I was a real horn dog in the beginning. You know, this is important because I'm a parent now. Should I put it in past tense? Yeah. Okay. Wait, so you're not in the Federated Alliance?
Starting point is 00:12:44 Did you leave or did they kick you out? Okay, so here's what happened. So the Federated Alliance was formed by the Council of Seven. It turned out that six of them were evil. Twist. Honestly, it was. But then it turned out that the seventh was even more evil. And so they...
Starting point is 00:13:06 Twist on a twist. What are you writing that part down on a twist? Double twist. Curly twist. AJ, you're running out of margins with all those twists. Listen, did we come to the realization that the Federated Alliance was evil a little bit later than we probably should have? Yes. But we made up for it. We blew up the Delegator, which was full of, well, clans mostly.
Starting point is 00:13:34 I probably should have. Oh, okay. Yeah. Oh, wait. Yeah, the Delegator. Something's coming back now. What? Yes.
Starting point is 00:13:43 Really? The Delegator, yes. Yeah, yeah. There's a name floating. What? Yes. Really? The telegator, yes. There's a name floating up to my head. Is it Sam Wink? No. No, it's Tiny... No. No, no, no, no. Don't say it. No, it's Tiny Toots. Tiny Toots!
Starting point is 00:13:59 No. Oh, no. Oh, she turned off the gravity. AJ, Tiny Toots was Bargy's nemesis. Much more popular ship and her ex. Bargy, turn the gravity back on, please. But tell us before you... Ow. Oh.
Starting point is 00:14:22 I'm going to write down in parentheses, I think they blew up the delegator. Alright, great. Okay, we destroyed the delegator and joined up with the rebellion against the Federated Alliance. And we also recorded at least 62 episodes of Bino and Bocci.
Starting point is 00:14:38 Yes. Not enough to get syndicated. But they had pretty good reviews. Wait, wait, wait. Hold on. What's a Beano? That's another part of it. We found a bean and when we put it in hot water,
Starting point is 00:14:54 it turned into Beano. Did Beano have nipples? Yes, exactly. That's Beano. Oh, I don't remember anything else about it. That's the only thing you remember? That's the weirdest thing. I would not love that.
Starting point is 00:15:08 Bino was a big part of our lives for a long time. But unfortunately, the show was on a streaming service called Teenie. That went down. That actually wasn't the reason that Bino went away. Bino went away because... It is the reason that Teenie went away.
Starting point is 00:15:25 That's true. I thought that's whyano went away. Beano went away because... It is the reason that Teenie went away. That's true. I thought that's why he went away. I thought everyone forgot that Teenie was a thing. You know my only question? Why was it called Teenie? Well, it's interesting, AJ, because Teenie was actually
Starting point is 00:15:39 a hybrid of Teen Scene Network. Okay. You know, like a network that just made small videos. Yeah. They were very small. They were so tiny. Oh yeah, they were physically very small too. Yeah, physically the image was... I mean, many species were
Starting point is 00:15:57 barely even able to perceive the videos at all. They were so small. So it just cost a lot per month. Yeah, it was overpriced. 15 crown a month, get the jack lot per month. Yeah, it was overpriced. 15 krune a month? Get the check out of here. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:08 So from what you guys are saying, you guys were very much involved in teeny for a lot of the time that you were at a crude before you met me. It was sort of like a lot of people were talking about teeny. I don't think I ever really watched anything on it. I was really more of a pickpock. Yeah. I'm a pickpock. But I mean, the amount that you guys are talking to me about Teeny
Starting point is 00:16:27 makes me think that you spent a lot of time... It was just in the zeitgeist. It was just in the zeitgeist for a long time. Everybody was making fun of it. But you're right. Pickpock was a much more popular service. It's an app where you see videos of people who steal from one another. Okay, chapter two, the rebellion. So now
Starting point is 00:16:45 this was the rebellion against the Federated Alliance all Hitler Federated Alliance. Yes, exactly, AJ. That's correct. We just don't say that. We were fighting the forces of wackness in the Federated Alliance, which, you know, sort of culminated in the
Starting point is 00:17:01 battle of the planet crusher crushers. Which, of course, was a weapon capable of crushing a weapon that was capable of crushing a planet. Exactly. And, I mean, I like to think we were sort of instrumental in that whole thing. Not to put too fine a point on it. The Battle of the Planet Crusher Crushers. Yes. Right, exactly.
Starting point is 00:17:20 Something else is coming back to me. Okay, what is it? A name. Oh, no. That I said earlier. No, AJ, stop. A name. Oh, no. That I said earlier. No, AJ, stop. Come on. AJ, are we literate to nothing?
Starting point is 00:17:29 Why could you not stop me? No. No. Let out the gravity. You say it's like I'm more tired just emotionally dealing with that baggage. How do you only remember that one thing? It's alliterative. I have no limbs.
Starting point is 00:17:48 Every one of these crashes really hurts. Yeah, right on the old lever. And then, of course, you know, Bino granted Bargy's wish to become a star, and we were stranded in Hollywood for some time, during which I became Zima Warrior, and that's when you met us. That's when I met
Starting point is 00:18:08 you guys? Yeah. You were in a strike team of Clint's sent by the Emperor to assassinate me and everyone else on the crew. I took your strike team out with my wood saber, and you decided to join me to learn the ways of this... Wait, wait, what? You took them out with what? With my wood saber. It's a dinglehopper. It's a
Starting point is 00:18:23 stick that you like to carry around and wield, and sometimes it gives him out with what? With my wood saber. It's the dinglehopper. It's a stick. It's the ancient weapon. That he likes to carry around and wield and sometimes it gives him splinters. Okay, it's more than that. It's an ancient weapon of the fabled Zeman Knights. It's made out of a stick. Yes, it is. Yes, thank you, C-53. It's made out of a stick, but it is not a stick. You know what else is made out
Starting point is 00:18:39 of a stick? Hmm. A stick. Yeah, well. Can I see it? Funny you should ask that. It was actually magically swapped by the Emperor in the All Weed. What? With this plastic tube. Ooh, I like this. This I like. Okay, you know what?
Starting point is 00:18:56 Yeah. It found its way back to him. Oh, why indeed? Okay, alright. So I met you guys in Hollywood and joined the team. So what happened when I joined it? Like, pretty cool stuff, right? Yeah, I mean, yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:11 Yeah, you know. We got a little dumber over, like, on average, I would say. Ouch. Dumber on average, but, like, we have way more hours of room tone than we ever had. You know, then for a long time, our entire life was dominated by the fact that Bargy was under investigation for money laundering, treason, witness tampering. Financial murder, if I recall correctly. Financial murder. It was also when Horsehat was born.
Starting point is 00:19:39 Yeah. Whoa, that's a baby? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Big time. Well, it wasn't just horse hat. I carried two very special children. Beano, the thing with nipples, you might remember.
Starting point is 00:19:52 Okay. The thing with nipples? Please, I carried Beano to term in my oven. How dare you play. But right as the trial ended, we were captured again by the emperor where Kor Baelvor used a whack ritual to open a... Wait. What? His name's Kor Baelvor?
Starting point is 00:20:11 That's the coolest name ever. Yeah. He was sort of like the henchman of... Yeah, but does he have like a song? He should have a song. It should be like... Yeah. Believe it or not, you've suggested this exact thing before, Eugene.
Starting point is 00:20:24 The same riff? Kor Baelvor! Yeah, you have or not, you suggested this exact thing before, AJ. The same riff? Cobail! Yeah, you have. Oh, okay. Great. I was right then and I'm right now. And unfortunately, after the Emperor abducted us into the Planet Crusher Crusher, when Plek knocked him off a catwalk during the-
Starting point is 00:20:42 Defeating him. Defeating him. Defeating him and also... Rendering him infinitely more powerful. Yes. Kor sort of orchestrated a whack ritual simultaneous to the Emperor being thrown off the catwalk with Beano. Juck, yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:58 Yeah. The whole thing imploded and turned into sort of a gigantic celestial butthole. The most gargantuan horror the galaxy's ever seen. Known as the All Wheat. Okay. Yeah. No questions. That all makes sense to you?
Starting point is 00:21:14 What? You had seven questions about Teenie and nothing about the All Wheat? Well, to be fair, Teenie was sort of a hard phenomenon to understand. It was a hard pitch on paper for sure. Teenie. Then we all headed to an ice planet to find the former rebel commander, Sisu Gundu. And you and Nermit killed a bunch of ice beasts, including the coolest ice beast, Dale.
Starting point is 00:21:36 Come on. It's just what happened. I'm just trying to tell him what happened. A, AJ put me up to it. Lizard man, take a shot. Sounds right. And B, we had no way of knowing that Dale was known for baking cookies. Well, we know now.
Starting point is 00:21:49 He was also known for a lot more, like being a loving father, a pillar of his community. A generous lover. Yeah, his wife would not stop bragging about what a generous lover he was. Wow, that sounds like a great guy. You dared me to shoot him, AJ, so... I don't remember. So, we spent several months not only preparing to
Starting point is 00:22:13 face the All Wheat, but also helping Sisu Gundu prepare her campaign to be the new Galactic Leader. I discovered my destiny of going into the All Wheat. These guys followed me in and we defeated the Emperor a second time. Yeah, we had to go into the All Wheat
Starting point is 00:22:30 because Plek rode a wooden rocket into the All Wheat and we thought he might die, so we went after him. I didn't die. It worked. Turns out that Beano was the other half of the All Wheat. Okay. Turns out that Beano in his infinite wisdom actually sort of had a soft spot for us.
Starting point is 00:22:48 Maybe in large part due to the Teenie series he had with Bargy. Remember Teenie? Yeah. It comes back to Teenie. Actually, now I don't know why it was such a huge flop. Yeah. No, it was a great idea. It was just poorly managed.
Starting point is 00:23:02 It was just too tiny. Poorly executed. Teenie thought people wanted like, you know, 10 minute episodes. What they want are 40 minute recaps. Not only 10 minute episodes, but they were on one centimeter by one centimeter. They were very small. That's the problem that I think. Oh yeah, and sometimes you'd have to go 360 and spin it.
Starting point is 00:23:22 Oh, yeah, and sometimes you'd have to go 360 and spin it. Wait, wait, wait. Some videos were only visible in 360 mode where you had to spin your phone at a constant rate. Yeah, otherwise the video itself would spin. You had to spin it in the opposite direction to keep it stable. Yeah, don't you guys remember Rip Cicero tried to warn us about it, but we kept believing in it. Also, it wouldn't let you do screenshots,
Starting point is 00:23:44 which just made the whole experience unshareable online. Whoa, that seems like, how would anyone do that? You didn't know what you were watching. But how do you create earned media that way? You remember that? Is that baked in? All Clint's have basic digital marketing. Even a deep clean doesn't remove digital marketing strategy. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:24:02 Anyway. So we, yeah, destroyed the... But you are forgetting another event that happened, which is Dar died. Oh, yeah. Dar died. Oh, right. I mean, that's a pretty gentle way of... I mean, you could say that Dar
Starting point is 00:24:17 is constantly dying in an endless time loop that will stretch to infinity. Why is my nose bleeding? Why would you say that? You could say that, but why would you say that? It's probably still too soon. Luckily, in a subsequent mission, due to
Starting point is 00:24:33 time travel, there became two Dars, so the extra Dar was able to replace Dar who died. And that's the Dar you see before you today. Right. Well, you guys can talk about this all you want, but I will not be writing it down. Because I do not understand what you're talking about. Well, let me tell you this, AJ.
Starting point is 00:24:53 It makes sense, and it's airtight. AJ, I can see your helmet is filling up with blood. You should probably let something out. How many spokes whiny? It's timey with a W. Got it. So we destroyed the Al we, of course. Yes.
Starting point is 00:25:09 Yeah. And that opened up a rift in reality. We fell through it, and we don't know where we are now. And now we've been adrift for so long that Bargy's out of fuel and has shut off all but the absolute bare minimum of life support systems. So. There's only one way that I know that I'm alive, and that's if I shake. No, Barchi, you need to conserve your energy. Don't shake that. Shake.
Starting point is 00:25:34 Don't shake the tush. Tush. You're going to wake up all those other guys, and they're kind of annoying. Shake. Wait, what other guys? Tush. What are the other people that were in the all week with us? They're on the ship now.
Starting point is 00:25:47 Yeah. Sisu Gundu. Rolfus Tittle. Wait, who? Rolfus Tittle? I keep hearing static when you say that name. He's the guy you were cloned from. Huh?
Starting point is 00:25:58 Rolfus Tittle is the source of your DNA, AJ. So I'm not surprised you probably can't hear me saying his name. Rolfus Tittle. Rolfus Tittle. No, I can't hear it. And none of that sounds right, so I will not remember that. Okay. Okay. Then you're caught up because you didn't remember it before. Well, this is actually an amazing recap. It's super clear. I don't know, AJ. I think anyone trying to familiarize themselves with our situation based on what you wrote would be very very confused i would say turned off yeah maybe alienated might be the word yeah uh i mean seems to me that this is a crew of misfits aboard a
Starting point is 00:26:41 kang tanker ship that go for a bunch of madcap adventures in a galaxy full of delightful and interesting creatures. Wow. It's essentially a workplace comedy set in a fantastic universe. Also with a little bit of found family thrown in. Okay. Huh. Okay, yeah. I don't know if I've ever thought of it that way, but yeah, I mean, I guess that's exactly... That's a remarkably
Starting point is 00:26:59 skilled distillation of the random tidbits we've just said for the last half hour. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that's just like, that's how I would describe it if I was pitching it to Teenie or something. Yeah. Wait, Caesar, come back.
Starting point is 00:27:12 Come on. No, Rolfus. You know what? I'd rather get with all of your clones. I bet they know something. Huh? Oh, no. They probably know respect better than you.
Starting point is 00:27:23 What? Oh, hi, AJ. What's happening to AJ? He's just spinning on his heels. He's spinning. Oh, wow. I got all my memories back. What? Really?
Starting point is 00:27:42 Yeah. What? By the power of of power of love uh is that what it was or or the other thing is sometimes when the event that triggers the mind wipe is negated then it actually negates the mind wipe as well that makes sense but it could also be the power of love yeah probably one of those two. Bottom line, all my memories are back. But there's like one thing, Papa, I wanted to say.
Starting point is 00:28:12 Oh, yeah, what is it? You said that we met when I was on the strike team in Hollywood. But we actually met before that. What? Yeah. No, the first time we met was on Hollywood. You were sent to kill me. No. AJ, what are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:28:28 Hey, AJ. I definitely remember this. When was that beat? Please explain. You don't remember? Okay. AJ. When do you think the first time you met is?
Starting point is 00:28:37 Well, I met Papa on his first day of work on the Bargerian Jade. That's me. Papa was all, like, starry-eyed, and you're like, wow, the Bargerian Jade. And's me!
