Live Show! Vinyl! Juntawa!

Hey everybody, Alden Ford here along with Seth Lind and Mujan Zulfagari.

Hey, hello.

We are here with a very special reminder and a very special announcement as we sew up our last episodes of the show, which, by the way, are truly bonkers.

There's some stuff coming up that is both outlandish, outlandish,

but also very

sonically complex.

Oh, yeah.

We are so excited for you to hear them.

But as we

near the end,

we are not only excited for these crazy last couple episodes, but also all of the fun stuff we have planned.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, first, I think everyone should right now run to their physical calendars that are still hanging on the walls.

Yeah.

Take out that red pen that you used to circle jobs in the newspaper and circle circle the date Sunday, April 10th.

Mujan is 78 years old.

What?

She looks for jobs in the newspaper and has a physical calendar on the wall.

I'm going to be a working girl.

Yeah.

Anyway, this is our way of telling you that we have that big live show coming up on Sunday, April 10th.

Yeah.

Sunday, April 10th at the Bell House in Brooklyn.

You might remember C-Red IT5 having told you about this at the top of our BTS episode, but we're here to share some of what you might expect at this bunkers show.

Yeah, we are going all out on this one.

It's a matinee show, which really appeals to the elderly Septuagarians like Mujan.

Coming.

Wow.

Lead with matinee.

It's at 2 p.m.

in the afternoon.

Crazy as it gets, but it's an overstuffed show.

We're going to have crazy guests.

We're going to have amazing giveaways.

We're going to debut some brand new merch at the show.

We're going to do trivia.

We're going to have a great time.

And afterwards, we're all going to go out to a local watering hole as a group and have some fun together and meet each other.

Yeah, it's it's a live show, but it's more than that, it's a celebration of the end of Zix before we get to the series finale.

Yeah, it's like a preemptive wake.

Yeah, and also, if you can't make it, let's just say you live very far away, there's actually gonna be a live stream that's available for everyone to watch.

And because it is a matinee, it happens to be perhaps a time that per other time zones, it won't be a bad hour, hopefully.

Quickly get your European friends into Zix.

It's 2 p.m.

Eastern, which I believe is 6 p.m.

or 1800 GMT, as it's known around the world.

And there are things we will not tell you about this live show that are happening that we're very excited about.

Yeah.

We don't want to give things away.

So don't miss it.

And also, most importantly than all, we haven't even said this.

Something you will, like, you can expect a live show, and this is a big spoiler, is Jantawa.

Oh, sure.

there will be a lot of that

language sorry i just wanted to put it out there anatomically correct but still still dirty yeah it's a magnet very descriptive we really hope to see you at the show and if we don't we really hope to see you on that old live stream but alden where are the tickets oh i'm so glad you asked mujan now if you're purely depending on your calendar and your newspapers at this point you may be disappointed to know that you have to buy tickets on the internet well you can first put on your calendar to like get internet installed, get a computer.

Exactly.

And then the next thing can be going to mission to zix.space.

Or thebellhouseny.com.

Yeah, this first one links to the second one, if you can believe it.

Sure.

Tickets are 20 bucks for the live show, but you can watch the live stream for the low, low price of $10.

Yeah.

So plan your travel to either the place in your house where you'll be watching the live stream or hopefully the show.

Yeah, exactly.

Warn the couch.

In addition to that friendly reminder, we also have a very exciting announcement for you.

Truly.

Yeah.

If you happen to not be among the elite few who follow us on social media, it's rare air over there on our social media bitch.

Ben, you maybe have not heard about what is perhaps the most ludicrous thing we've decided to do after a series of ludicrous decisions in making this show.

Yeah.

Alden, you're kind of responsible for Do you want to describe it?

We are at long last releasing a comprehensive soundtrack to Mission to Zix, including orchestral cues without the voiceover, so you can hear every last one of those 65 instruments, original songs by Shane O'Connell.

Aka Jordan Bakorkin.

Yes, yes.

Some brand new surprises that you haven't heard yet.

And we're releasing them on a full-length, stuff stuff-to-the-gills, to

impeccably produced, remastered vinyl LP.

And we're doing a pre-order for this because it is such a crazy thing to do that we want to make sure we get an accurate headcount.

People have maybe even told Alden not to do this.

It's possible advised against it.

Caps, perhaps.

Yeah.

It's possible that emails were only a subject line that said why were sent.

Why are you doing this?

But history shall prove me right.

In fact, we actually already launched the campaign last week and we have already met our goal.

And we are well on our way to our first of several amazing stretch goals for this crazy vinyl.

We have brand new cover art by Eric Goyce.

We have an amazing, brand new poster that no one's ever seen that will be bundled with the vinyl.

We've got a bunch of crazy stretch goals like colored vinyl, a brand new top-secret collab between two characters, and even at a thousand records sold, a separate 45 rpm single of two of the show's greatest hits and not to tiny toot our own captain horns but um wow but wow never use that name sorry sorry mujan but we reached this goal in one day from posting this on social media and yeah that means the record is definitely happening but fear not we are adding a brand new super premium tier that's right just this very moment we have released a brand new tier for the vinyl which includes a second full-length album, which is the first and last physical release of Bermaful Nelodes by Bermint Nundaloy.

So if you have a little extra croon, you can get both the record and Bermaful Nelodies.

Both albums are signed by us.

In addition, if you buy that tier, Bermint Nundaloy will crank out a little ditty, a little custom diddy for you.

That's right.

Yeah.

And also, you know, there are artists, and then there are artists like Bermuda Nundaloy, you know?

It's true.

It's true.

We don't have to elaborate.

I'm not sure what to do.

But you're absolutely right.

But truly, we are so excited about this album.

It's not just a ridiculous, ambitious, silly thing we're doing.

It's something that...

I think really elevates and showcases some of the amazing work that Shane and Brendan and others on the show have done and given it a platform that I think it really deserves.

And so it's really exciting for us to be able to release this in a really cool package in a way that sounds really great.

Yeah.

And if you're worried about the 44-minute runtime of a standard LP, don't worry.

We are also releasing the entire track list of the LP as well as dozens of other tracks that didn't fit on the record as a digital download, which you will get with every purchase of the record.

Or if analog is dead to you, then you can also purchase just the digital version for a small nominal fee.

Now, did we already say where to get this or where to go?

Actually, Mujan, you bring up an excellent point.

You can find the link to our campaign on our website, missionisx.space.

Ever heard of it?

Question?

Click on the big picture of the record.

Yes.

And related to the music, we wanted to leave you with a little something new.

Yeah,

as you know, for the last three seasons, we have been utilizing a 65-piece orchestra to record our intro and interstitial music.

As we close out the show, we've one-upped ourselves once again, and we are adding a 24-piece choir to the mix.

We just recorded with them this week.

They sounded phenomenal.

We can't wait for you guys to hear them in these last moments of the show.

And so we're just going to leave you with a little taste of things to come.

We will say this many times before before we close out the show, but thank you.

Thank you, thank you for being with us on this crazy journey.

We are so excited for you to hear how this particular story ends.

And thank you also for your patience as we get these last moments sewn up in all of their ambitious, ridiculous sonic glory.

Yes.

And Jantawa.

Mujan, don't

we don't have to be able to do that?

But I'm being real.

I'm being real.
