513: Déjà Two [ft. Jonathan Braylock]

It is a time of great unease.

The crew of the Bargerian Jade have finally made it home to their beloved quadrant.

But something is different.

Wrong.

Whack!

Now, our intrepid heroes must root out the bad vibes, master the three-sided coin of freshness, and face down foes like they've never imagined on their final mission to six

So let me get this tree.

Yes, AJ.

The lizard is the leader of the galaxy now.

AG, we're all still trembling at burn

minds around us right now.

Hey, Bargie, are you a direct tour now, or what are you?

Honestly, I don't know.

I'm just checking all my voicemails.

They all uploaded when I came back to six.

I have so many voicemails.

Yeah, that's almost a cycle's worth of voicemails, Bargie.

Here's one

from my son.

Oh, yeah.

Mom,

where are you?

You flew into this big flaming thing and then disappeared.

We're calling you about your extended warrant, please.

Yeah, don't listen to that one, Bargie.

That's I did that spin.

Bargie, I'm crazy.

Who is Todd?

Todd.

Who is it, Todd, right?

I don't think that's a good idea.

Yeah, no, Bargie, I hear that.

Who isn't Todd?

I mean, listen, I could talk about Bargie's voicemails for days, but.

Oh.

Nermit.

Nermit,

what is that wrapped around your shoulders?

I'm pretty sure I always wear this.

No, did you take it?

So you've never worn a flowy cape before.

Nermit, did you wrap a napkin around your neck?

Oh, I don't know.

I mean, I guess.

Oh, yeah, maybe I I don't wear this all the time.

Sorry, you don't know?

I mean, you're saying the napkin fell there.

Naturally.

You're dealing with the leader of the galaxy here.

Do you want me to take anybody out?

AJ, I guess I woke up and decided to dress for the job I have.

Nerman, Nermit, listen,

that's not you.

Whoever that is is someone else.

Don't crowd him.

You know, like, don't crowd him.

He's the leader of the galaxy.

AJ, you know, I'm going to need security.

And

I don't know why I have to look at it.

Nermit, You're going to figure out what is going on here.

Yes.

And we're going to make this right.

Yeah.

Nermit mark our words.

We will remove Nermit Bundaloy from power.

I don't know if that's the exact thing.

Bargie, we're going to get you inbox zero before this is all over.

I know how to

do it.

It's a message from my old age.

Bargie, Leximar Punch here.

Where have you been?

Let's do lunch.

I'm not available, but I want to do lunch soon.

Marge, where are you?

I'm going fast!

Where are you?

He seems nice.

I don't know.

Nermit, maybe in the meantime,

you should change your name, you know, to avoid confusion.

Tar, how dare you?

Excuse me.

After my name was stolen by the Emperor?

Listen, guys.

We'll get to the bottom of this at some point, but

I think we need need to seek out

some people that we know.

We need to figure out what the deal is.

We need to figure out

what's happened, what we're up against.

The vibes are bad.

Yeah, we know the vibes are bad.

Nermit, we know the vibes are bad, okay?

That's like saying we all like shrimp.

I like shrimp, everybody loves shrimp.

I want to see shrimp.

Wait, what?

What?

What was that?

What?

Oh, did someone say shrimp?

Oh,

Let's just get something straight right off the bat.

You all know exactly who I was.

I don't care how many adventures you've been on since the last time you saw me.

You will not forget

to be.

I could never forget you.

You tasked me with saving the entire Tellurian species.

Yeah.

You made me smart.

You made me stupid.

You made me super old for a second.

You put me on top of a huge obelisk that I had to carve into a reflective parabola to destroy an approaching asteroid.

See, I'm just remembering a lot of like shrimp-related stuff.

Like, no.

Yeah,

no, it was this.

There was a whole shrimp here.

There was a whole shrimp here.

Last time he arrived and said the exact same thing.

Did someone say shrimp?

Wait, wait, hold on, hold on.

Who is this guy?

My name is Two.

I am a part of the singularity.

We are beings that have so much power your tiny little brain couldn't possibly comprehend.

All you need to know is that when I am here, you do as I say.

From personal experience, I can confirm that's true.

Or what, I guess, is my like,

removed Plex arms and legs temporarily

and put them on me now.

Yeah, with

maybe something like this.

Oh, oh, oh,

it's smoking.

That's right.

The ventilation is not great here.

You should not

do those things.

AJ2 is one of the most powerful beings we've ever interacted with.

Yeah, AJ, he can change reality at will.

He puts entire species through rigorous tests to make sure they deserve to exist in the universe.

That's right.

AJ, if Pleck had failed his test, the entire Tellurian race would have been eradicated from the universe.

Wow, it totally feels like something he would have failed, though, right?

Yeah, honestly, it's kind of amazing.

Against all odds, I

I need all of you to follow me into the

room.

Okay.

He just magically transported himself to the ship.

Can you believe that?

Well, he transported himself into the closet and then sort of busted out of the closet.

Sort of more dramatic last time.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Actually, before you enter, before you enter this room, just give me like five minutes.

Give him five minutes.

Does this magic take like five minutes?

Wait, wait, wait.

You need us to give you five minutes?

Yeah, I just need you to give me five minutes.

I uh

I have a phone call to make

to other people in the singularity.

Surely the singularity communicates outside of our perception of time and space.

He's using the term phone call for all of you to talk about.

Okay.

All right, sure.

If you're calling Todd, just

tell him Barb he's not interested.

I'm not interested.

Yes, he's calling Todd.

Man, think about what mind-bending, reality-altering shenanigans he's pulling in there.

Well, but

I'm just more curious if one of us hadn't said shrimp, how long would he have been in the

storage?

Yeah, but the other question is, why is he still harping on the shrimp thing?

What is shrimp?

What was happening

about?

What was it about the shrimp?

Just to be clear, was the first time he visited, was he like kind of just kind of come out of the closet?

No, no, he just sort of disappeared.

He had a cloak that looked like a starfield.

Yeah, also, what happened to his cloak?

It looks just like a regular cloak that you'd get at like a second-hand store.

Okay, a lot of dissing cloaks.

Two.

Well, also, did the toilet just flash?

What?

No.

I

have your tests ready.

Oh, okay.

Wait, so we just test?

What's the deal?

AJ, you gotta keep up just a little bit.

I mean, this is like a lot.

AJ, all you need to know is that you cannot cross two.

He will will ruin your entire life.

I asked you to come into the room.

Yes, yes, put on.

Okay, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, we don't.

We're coming in.

Oh, wow, look at all these pulleys.

Okay, yeah, a lot of cranks

here.

If you are able

to get

this marble to the end of that maze, I will let this entire ship live.

But if you don't,

you heard me, Pargi.

If you don't, I will incinerate you and all of the entities that live inside of it.

Uh

oh, Darsh is picking up the marble.

Yeah, is that legal too?

Can they just pick up the marble and put it over there?

Damn it, I didn't think it was.

Alright.

Okay, everybody out.

Everybody out.

Yeah, I knew that wasn't it.

You nailed it.

Yeah, we're going.

So we're getting

out.

I mean, he's going to snap his fingers.

We got to go.

Yeah, okay,

at the risk of bringing your scorn upon us.

What is happening?

What are you testing us for?

Anything you need, we'll do it.

I just want to know what's happening.

Something has happened to this galaxy.

The galaxy that I manage.

Thanks to all of you.

The vibes are off.

Okay?

Wait, it's our fault.

If you don't complete these tasks, I will know that you are not ready to restore this galaxy to its rightful place.

And your punishment will be death.

Oh, oh, hold on, hold on.

Richard, Richard, you're 20 minutes late for your shift.

Oh, uh, I, yeah,

I'm a sick, uh, you know, I won't be in for the next couple days.

Any focal cakes are gonna make themselves, Richard.

Well, you don't want me in there.

You know, I'll get everybody sick.

Yeah, it's really bad.

I got it, I don't know, from

some Pelorian.

Take all the time you need.

Alright, thank you.

Bye.

Now,

two, I don't presume to know the goings-on of the singularity, but

that was surely you faking sick from

some sort of job, some sort of job.

That was a test for that person.

See, I run multiple tests at once now.

I have elevated.

I heard every single one.

Yeah, that guy sounded mad that you were late for work.

Aren't you at work now?

You're in the singularity.

There's a lot of complications to this, you know.

Uh, he thinks that I'm working.

It's a long play, okay?

It's a long play.

Okay, and the long play

is

I don't have my powers.

Okay, that explains a lot.

My powers are God.

Then how did you appear in that closet and then break out of the closet when we

stowaway?

You were on the ship the whole time?

Yes, I saw you at the ship stop and I snuck on board.

I just thought that.

I need your help, okay?

Whoa.

Really?

Also, he was like, hey, if I pay you five Nermos, can I just hang out inside you?

And I was like, yeah, whatever.

Bargain, you knew he paid you to get on the ship when you was here.

Nobody asked.

I mean,

if there are stowaways who paid you?

Yeah.

Does that mean should we just be asking all the time if there are stowaways?

Yeah, there's currently three stowaways.

Three?

Judy, who else?

Well, there's two.

This is a real math problem.

Yeah, exactly.

Two plus two is three.

But there's three.

No, but two plus two is two case.

Oh, my.

I mean, I don't have my powers anymore, but this is a sad crew.

All right, so why did I niche my lot to you all?

Yeah, suddenly the shoe is on the other foot, isn't it?

Wait, so what I want to know is, how'd you make that marble thing?

I think he sort of built this in the few minutes that we were hanging out outside.

Yeah, I'm actually really good with my hands.

Yeah, I know.

It's like actually pretty good.

Yeah, yeah.

I'm trying to get another job.

It's a long story, okay?

I've had to do a lot of things I didn't want to do without my powers.

You guys don't understand how many people want to kill you

when you've put them in life and death situation and then have erased, you know, entire species of

yeah.

Well, I guess there are probably a lot of people that have.

yeah, wait, two, I never thought to ask this of you, but I know Tellurian survived.

How many races did you eliminate?

Um, let's see.

Oh, this is already much higher than I thought.

There were uh Zactoids, there were

the Lakmas, which, I mean, they were made out of lava, they just moved around on this planet, they like formed into rocks.

Honestly, super radical.

Yeah, but they never did anything, and you know,

just

maybe in the singularity, we're very, we're very much about production.

You know, you gotta keep it up.

You gotta keep up the evolution.

And if you don't,

wow.

That snapping is me erasing the lockdowns from existence.

How did you lose your powers?

Oh, how did I lose my powers?

What a great question.

I don't know why I'm getting so close to Pleck.

Yeah, excuse me.

Hey,

hey, you.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You were supposed to save the galaxy.

Yeah,

I know.

I know that.

Really?

What?

Yeah.

Yes.

Darn it.

Haven't you been paying attention?

That's been true this whole time.

I mean, I've heard it a couple of times.

I just never thought...

I never thought anyone but you believed that.

Well, it would be kind of like, it'd be nice if he did.

Wow.

My own noob.

My own noob.

I mean,

I think we're all back or not.

Yeah.

Okay.

Okay.

So, okay, just show of hands.

Who thought that I was maybe gonna save the galaxy?

Who thought it would even be a remote possibility?

Oh, wow, me and two.

Only people raising our hands.

Thank you so much.

One of the other soul aces, also.

Well, show yourself.

You know, I just I just feel like I thought I thought it was bad.

I didn't think it was this bad.

You know?

Well, and to be clear, I also didn't think you were gonna save the galaxy, but you know, Bino really tasked me to

beano was the one who told you to test us?

Wait, wait.

Wait, did you was that not revealed to you at some point?

Beano is the key to the entire singularity.

We.

Yeah, Bino pitched that as one of the episodes of Beano and Baiji, but I didn't really understand it.

You

have been disrespecting Bino this entire time I let him down.

We all loved Bino.

He saved our lives several several times, and we would have done anything for him, but

why is Bino not here?

Why is Bino not here?

He was inside the Allweed.

He was the Allweed.

He turned into this huge, muscular,

very sexy.

I mean,

hot, hot Bean, and he saved us.

He's the reason we got transported to another galaxy.

And you came back without him?

I don't know that we left with him.

You know?

Like, it was hard to say what happened in the aftermath of the ALGIE.

I think he's always been in our hearts.

Okay.

Yeah.

Certainly.

It's always been in here.

I'm going to kill you.

Get him.

Just jump in.

Stop.

Oh, that is me.

Stop punching him in the shoulder so hard.

Oh, if I could only snap my god, my god, that's a part.

Stop snapping yourself.

Stop snapping yourself.

AJ, come on.

He ain't the powers anymore.

What am I supposed to do?

Because the powers doesn't mean you have to be mean to him.

Oh, AJ, look.

Look what you did.

You feel good about that, AJ?

You feel good about that?

What are you guys yelling about?

Hey, Justin.

Hey, Justin.

Hey, what I missed.

Oh, everyone, sit down.

I'm trying to slap.

Trying to what?

Trying to what?

Try to slap.

That's probably for the best, Justin.

Wait, what is he trying to do?

Sleep?

I assume it's sleep, but it's

very generous.

Justin's like 1.30 in the afternoon.

What were you doing?

See you later, too.

Oh, see you, Justin.

Wait, hold up.

Hey, wait a minute.

What?

How do you two know each other?

What are you talking about?

I know everybody in this galaxy.

How?

But how does he know you?

I have friends, Blake.

Wow.

You're so late.

Going back to that.

To where?

To slurp?

And I ask you, in the end, isn't embezzlement just another word

for love?

Wow.

Who would object to that?

The defense rests for this bar.

Okay, we're going to commercial in five, four, three.

Hello, I'm Quaid Blismo, and if you think it's easy defending financial murderers, handsy politicians, and high-society sociopaths day in and day out, think again.

Every night, I lie awake, questioning my life choices, ruminating on the consequences of my unscrupulousness, and praying to Rod that my off-planet bank account overflowing with nermos from residual checks, legal fees and hush money is never discovered by the authorities.

Needless to say, with all the stress I'm under, it's important to take time to seek out relaxation and pleasure in every possible area of my life.

From how I start my mornings to how I wind down after work and everything in between, I deserve to enjoy it all.

And so do you.

So allow me to present Exhibit D.

Dipsy Stories is an app full of sexy audio stories, and now they even have brand new written stories.

I like to print them out and sprinkle them in amongst my discovery documents to spice them up a little.

Dipsy helps bring sensual stories to life anytime, anywhere.

There are hundreds of stories to choose from, and they release new content every week, so there's always more to explore.

And get this for viewers of Pump Up the Justice, Dipsy is offering an extended 30-day free trial when you go to dipsystories.com/slash 6.

That's 30 days of full access for free when you go to DIPSEAStories.com/slash zix.

Leave your stress behind and go to dipsystories.com/slash 6, and you'll find joy and confidence in and out of the bedroom.

Not to mention the courtroom.

And that's a Quaid Blismo guarantee.

How was that?

Checking with the execs.

That's fine.

Okay, you're good.

Thank you.

We are back from halftime, ladies and gentlemen, T-Rock of the Justice, Honorable Haskell Nicole, Chris Dairy.

I have a question, or just kind of more of a comment.

It's not really a question, more of a comment.

So the fact that you're in charge of the galaxy and now that you have no power,

that is

bad, right?

I don't wouldn't say it's bad.

I mean, I'm excited.

Not about it.

Nerman, it is bad.

What are you talking about?

You want the random chaos of the galaxy?

What are you having?

Beating the upside down.

Hello?

Oh, he's asleep.

Yeah, they're part of the game.

Hold him upside down.

He just goes through.

Sorry, I just put him in.

there.

Listen, okay?

If chaos rules,

all of this is gonna go away.

All right?

Wait, what do you mean, chaos?

Listen, the singularity's job is to maintain order in the galaxy, alright?

The universe is a dumb, chaotic place, and if we didn't do this job, none of you would even be here, okay?

We take care of temporal anomalies, rogue species, time shifts, time warps, okay?

Adrian, I don't think that's what he's talking about.

Okay, okay.

Adrian, I think two is saying that without his powers, you know, nefarious forces might disrupt our reality without any repercussions.

Exactly.

Good nap.

Welcome back, Nermit.

Thank you.

Slap man?

I was a slap.

Okay, so you're saying it was Papa's fault that you lost your powers.

Okay.

Understandable, but

when did this happen?

When the all-weed exploded.

Okay?

And I know

that when that happened,

we lost Bino.

Wow.

You let him die?

And I lost my powers.

Hasn't he died like a bunch, though?

Yeah, well, it's hard to say.

I mean,

this death maybe felt a little more deathy.

You see that?

Yeah.

No energy happening there.

The only energy is sound.

You know, too, because

you've been snapping a lot.

It's just, I,

we believe that your powers are gone, man.

Okay.

Well, I used to snap all the time.

Yeah.

Now it doesn't do anything.

Yeah, that's true.

It just turns on my lights and turns them off sometimes.

Yeah, I've been.

I was going to say, can we just at least, yeah, Bargie, is that a function you can turn off?

Because this has been a rough afternoon.

Hey, look, you want to know what kind of shit goes down when a member of the singularity isn't around to keep things in order, huh?

Check this out.

Reign?

That seems strong.

Maybe my

first of many terms.

Not that I want to stand down.

I mean, if I.

Yep, that's Nermit alright.

There's two Nermit Bundaloi's now, okay?

So you're saying his existence is some kind of paradox.

I don't know.

One of them is not supposed to be here.

In order to restore balance, you need to kill

the wrong Nermit Bundaloi.

What?

Okay.

Wait, what?

How do we know which one is the wrong one?

I would kill both of them myself, just to be sure.

You know,

Archie.

Arch.

Two.

I don't know about this.

You'll know when I get my powers back, okay?

I mean, we could kill this one right now, and if I get my powers back, I don't know.

I don't think that's the one.

All right.

Well, yeah.

I mean, it's probably the one that's, you know, the leader of the galaxy.

That seems to be a good idea.

It could be seen

this one.

Sometimes.

All right.

You sure you don't want to kill this one?

Because we could do that.

I'm voting for everyone.

I mean, you don't get a vote.

This guy's going to be a good one.

That kind of sounds like.

Yeah, that sounds like something the wrong nerve bundler would say to sort of save his own skin.

Well, no, but so would we're the right one.

Yeah, good point.

Everyone,

we all know that this nermit is not the evil one, right, buddy?

Thank you.

Well, in the meantime, we will have to imprison you until we know that.

We're not taking any chances, but

we're going to put you in this shipping container here.

Yeah.

Hey, yeah.

No, what?

We'll put your mission in the nermit.

I mean,

you can assign us missions from there.

You'll just call in to us on the bridge.

Sorry, he needs a little responsibility.

So nice, you guys.

Thank you so much.

You know, Justin, having alert is a big responsibility.

Justin, I...

I don't tell anybody, but I'm on the alert.

No way!

Have fun.

Have fun in there.

See, and now I'm less confident that he's not the evil one, you know?

Mr.

Trickman, quick question from me, AJ.

You say Bino gave you your powers, but he's a being.

So

what?

How do you not understand?

Yeah, Bino is the source, okay?

Be no source is the source of the singularity.

The whole power.

Was the source.

Okay, that's what AJ guess.

What?

I'm just saying if we're gonna pretty insensitive

I could snap my fingers, I freaking would.

Well, you can, right?

Technically, you can still snap them.

You know what I meant.

Yeah.

Oh, but that dove was pretty cool.

That dove sort of just came out of your sleep.

Yeah,

I feel like I had to pick up some magic tricks when I lost my powers

just in case some

people came around and try to mess with me, you know.

You found magic tricks where end the altercation?

Yes, you know, sometimes when you pull a card out of a lemon, people freak out.

I love that trick.

You can pull a card out of a lemon, man.

Oh, oh, wait, hold on a second.

Just stand up.

Hey, AJ,

just shuffle these cards.

Alright,

see this.

Pick a card.

Any card.

Which one should I pick, you guys?

AJ.

It doesn't matter.

Which one should I pick?

Okay, I'll pick this one.

I'll pick this one.

All right, okay.

It's the nine of jewels.

Just shuffle them in here, and then oh, could you hold this lemon for me?

Thank you.

All right.

Just get it.

And then.

Oh, let me get that lemon back.

All right.

Oh, here we go.

All right.

Does anybody have a knife?

It's okay.

I have one.

Oh,

pull it out of nowhere.

All right.

Wow.

Lemon.

All right.

Yeah, I think we all saw that, Barge.

You see.

It was my card.

Wow.

Whoa.

That's pretty cool.

Yeah.

I feel like when I've seen that trick in the past, there was some context that gave, you know, sort of a reason for the lemon to be there, but you just kind of produced the lemon.

Yeah, there's a little bit of narrative.

Why are you giving her such a hard time?

Bargie, that's it.

That's it.

That's what's part of the trick.

Yeah.

You're all done?

You're all done with your

little talk.

Okay,

the universe is going to shit.

All right.

Okay, it's absolute chaos in this galaxy, and I don't even know what's happening anymore because I don't have the powers.

Yeah.

You need to fix it.

Because if you can't, no one can.

Wow.

Okay.

Hey, can I ask you all a question?

Sure.

You said you were in another galaxy.

Yeah, yeah.

Was there a was there somebody from the singularity there?

Huh.

Yeah, there wasn't any.

We didn't meet anybody from the singularity.

You're the only person from the singularity we've ever met.

Oh.

There are a lot of single people.

And it wasn't.

Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.

So you're saying

if the singularity

in the theme games are...

Wow, Cleck, you're really not getting this here.

Let me explain it to you.

For Singularity.

No, no, Cleck.

I just...

It would really be a lot faster if I just said it myself.

Okay,

maybe it's a slide.

Okay, when Nevino disappeared, every member of the Singularity lost their powers, including

the Singularity member from the Them galaxy.

This is bad, it's worse than we thought.

You're not just tasked to save the galaxy, Pleck.

You're

tasked to save the universe.

What

it's true: the Zimus, the prophecy, all of it.

It's all true.

Yeah, thank you, AJ.

Look, there has to be a balance between good and evil.

The good was supposed to be you, Pleck, and yet you couldn't do it.

I still could.

I'm still...

I'm back.

I'm here now.

I'm back now.

Here.

Two, maybe Pleck's prophecy hasn't actually been fulfilled yet.

There may still be time.

That is true.

But how?

Without Bino, what can I do?

This is the easiest way I can explain it.

Bino exists outside of time and space, okay?

Okay.

If he's not here, there is no balance.

And if there's no balance, there is no Bino.

So if you fix one, you fix the other.

You see what I'm saying?

I guess I just don't know how...

Picture scales, okay?

You know what scales are, don't you, Pleck?

Like on a lizard or musical scales?

No, I'm talking about a balance of scales.

Wow, a third one I didn't even consider.

Okay.

Wow.

Okay,

now I'm putting it in.

Now I'm picturing it.

Now I've got it.

You guys have been traveling space with him?

Yeah, it's a challenge.

Yeah.

Okay.

So, if the scale is out of balance, you have to put a little bit of weight on one to balance out the other.

So if you save the galaxy, you save Bino.

And if you save Bino,

you save the galaxy.

See what I'm saying?

I

do not understand what you're saying.

I guess I just don't know how Bino.

But Bino knows.

Bino no,

and that's all that matters.

Oh,

okay.

Thank you.

Okay, well, AJ gets it, so I guess.

Okay, great.

So you could just explain it to him at a later point.

Oh, please don't try to.

No.

Not no.

Yeah.

So

can we do that?

Let's do do it.

Just point me in the direction.

Okay, I don't think

it's a shot.

Okay,

I'm starting to like this guy.

I mean, he's definitely gungy.

He grows on you.

He grows on you.

We didn't think we were gonna like him.

Kind of everybody.

I really didn't like him when I first got here.

I didn't like his face.

Commonly comment questions you were asking.

Yeah.

Oh, hold on one second.

Hold on.

Hold on one second.

Hello?

Hey,

Phil.

Yeah, hey, Phil.

What?

Why are you calling me?

Okay, yeah, okay.

Bye.

Bye, Phil.

Oh, my God.

You have a room?

Yeah, yeah, okay.

I can't afford my own room.

I've never had to make money before.

I don't even understand this concept.

It's so barbaric.

You know, too, it seems like losing your powers has really tested you.

Damn it.

You're right.

You got me, and I don't like how it feels.

I don't.

I mean, tell that to the species you eradicated.

No, I can't.

They're all gone.

They're not here anymore.

Yeah, erased from reality, right?

Not just killed.

They never exist.

That's right.

You keep saying we have to, like, bring balance back to the galaxy in order for you to get back your powers.

That's right.

But isn't the real reward just bringing balance back to the galaxy and finding Bino?

I mean, like, isn't you getting your powers back kind of like a bonus?

Like, wouldn't good winning over evil being kind of like the best thing to happen?

Yeah, but AJ, you gotta appreciate his perspective.

No, I've seen it from a lot of people, but I'm also just kind of seeing it from our perspective where it's like, isn't bringing balance kind of the big mission?

Um, AJ, uh, pick a card.

Yes,

okay, which one should I pick, you guys?

AJ, it doesn't matter which one.

It does sort of matter because I want it to be the one that he picks.

Do you know what I mean?

Yeah, it's got to be the one that's going to be the one he picks.

Well, we don't know that.

We don't know that.

It depends on me.

Okay, I want to pick.

Somebody tell me to stop.

AJ, we all want you to stop.

Okay, okay, okay.

Oh, pick this one.

Alright, okay.

And just look over there.

Okay.

Alright, now look in your pocket.

Telling me to look over there?

Okay.

Look at your pocket.

Yeah, yeah, too.

You gotta work out your pattern, Punt.

The card wasn't here.

It was in your pocket the whole time.

That's crazy.

It wasn't in my pocket when I, but then I looked away.

Crazy that the magic happened while I looked away.

That's the crazy thing.

Wow, this was way too easy.

Are you sure you don't have your powers?

Are you sure?

Oh.

I'll get those.

Don't worry.

You're not going to pick them up.

I'll get them.

You just snapped snapped and threw them all on the ground.

Yeah.

I think that was a mistake.

I'll get him.

Oh,

Farah.

Norman keeps talking about being the Galactic Leader.

I'm like, whoa, Swap.

I am worried about Justin.

I think Justin might be low-level depressed because it's like mid-afternoon and he's in bed.

Yeah, he's sleeping.

But he's a teenager.

I think teenagers' bodies are weird.

I don't like my new pet.

My new pet socks.

I miss my parents and I miss Saturday.

now!

If the bar is replacing your parents, no pet is gonna be enough.

Yeah, especially if the pet is clear man.

I think that's asking too much of me.

Hey, dude, I don't know you very well, man.

Yeah.

But I want to promise you this:

we will get your powers back.

But before that, we will go get you some milk for your roommate.

Oh, really?

Yeah, right?

That would be really nice.

I mean, I don't know if you can.

Yes, at least you'd also give me a ride back.

We can do it.

We can drop you off and get you milk.

Yeah, milk first, then saving the universe.

Yeah.

Which this time definitely will do right, you know, somehow.

Yeah.

Thank you, Darn.

Okay.

I would normally demand to come with you, but I do think one of you might die in the process of this, and I don't want that to be me, so I don't want to be on this ship.

Yeah, okay, fair enough.

And one last thing:

word of advice:

Don't trust each other always.

Don't trust each other.

Tell me something I don't know.

Does that mean never trust each other or don't always

trust each other?

Pleck?

Don't trust each other

always.

Two to lose.

That's more confusing.

Oh, we just kind of crashed into a bunch of boxes.

Two, you okay back there?

Yeah, this is great.

I like it.

It just looked like you hit your head pretty hard on the side of the.

Okay.

Do you still want us to get the milk or what?

Yeah, please, if you can just get the milk outside.

I'm gonna take a

little nap.

If you hit it that hard, you probably shouldn't go to sleep because there's a concussion risk.

That'll be fine.

Just give me some napkins and napkins.

That doesn't sound like enough.

Here, why don't you take this?

That's my cloak.

I mean, it's a napkin, or it.

Well, it was my cloak.

Before that was a napkin, and then it was a napkin again.

And to a napkin-ness, it returns.

What's going on, yellow trooper?

You've hardly touched your triple mocha frappuchai latte.

You'll need lots of energy to operate the torto's left arm if that monster ever comes back.

I've been thinking, Blue Trooper, the monster was made out of ill-fitting jackets, out-of-style jeans, and old worn-out sneakers.

What could it mean?

The monster's stupid and it sucks.

That's what it means, bro.

But what if, somehow, the monster reflected something we've been struggling with in our daily lives?

Maybe it's time for the Tordo Troopers to get a style upgrade.

But between keeping the planet safe from magical growing monsters and keeping up with our schoolwork, how will we ever find the time?

Well, I've been doing some research, and it appears that there's a store that is somehow personalized to our sizes and styles.

Did Blue Somers grow?

Not if my calculations are correct.

It's called Stitch Fix Freestyle, a shop built just for you, and also the rest of the Torto Troopers, and also everyone else.

I'm too attractive to understand you.

God, who's my real name when I'm wearing my helmet, Barista?

Rod.

Sorry.

Stitchfix.com slash 6.

Wow, this is your apartment.

Yeah, yeah, it's where I live.

It's a swear.

This is where my live is where I live.

Dude, you need to see a doctor.

I think

you hit your head pretty hard.

What?

Nah, nah, I'm uh

I'm okay.

Uh oh.

Dude, I really, yeah.

Hey, Phil.

Phil, I got the milk.

Oh, okay.

Just leave it in the fridge.

Yeah, no duh, Phil.

Classic milk.

Okay.

I don't drink that.

I'm lactose intolerant.

Wait, Phil, if you're lactose intolerant, why are you asking for milk?

Hmm, that's a fair question.

Yeah,

what is wrong with you?

Who are these guys?

These are the people that are gonna save the galaxy.

Yeah, we agreed.

If we're gonna have people over, we let each other know right ahead of time.

Okay, yeah, we're not coming in.

Yeah, we're just dropping off, too.

Listen, too.

Thank you for giving us another chance, I guess.

We're gonna make things right.

I believe in you, Plec.

Also, Phil, if I want to have people over, I can, okay?

I don't like how much you control our shared space.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

I want you all to hear this.

Okay, all right.

Oh, your name is on the lease.

Okay, here we go again.

You know what, Phil?

If I had my powers, I would snap you out of existence.

Whatever, I invited my friend over.

This is Todd.

I broke his own rule.

I'm the one who asked for the milk.

I'm losing my mind.

I need the nutrients from the milk.

Is that the same Todd?

Sounds like it from the voicemail.

Yep, it's him.

That's what I have.

Hardly at all.

Okay, time to go.

What does that have to do with anything?

You know, if you understood our love, fella.

I really need my powers back.

We nailed it.

Hi, I'm Biz and I'm Teresa.

And we're the hosts of One Bad Mother, a podcast about parenting.

Parenting is hard, and we have no advice, but we do see you doing it.

Honk if you like to do it.

What was this?

Didn't we have a bumper sticker a while back that was like honk if you did it?

That's what I thought.

I think it was honk if you're doing it.

Why did we not ever make those?

We did make them.

I think they're still in the Max Fun store.

Honk Honk.

You're new, Annette.

Thanks, Biz.

So are you.

Each week, we'll be here to remind you that you're doing a good job.

You can find us on maximumfun.org.

Honk Konk, toot toot.

Comedy and culture.

Artist owned, audience supported.

That's not you.

Whoever that is is is someone else posing as you

or a shadow version of you,

a mirror universe version.

Well, we're going to have to get them out of there then because I won

the election.

Yeah, as I said, I think whatever put anti-you in that position.

A right-in vote.

Yeah, okay, great.

But it was some sort of machinations that are not okay.

We need to fix it.

Pleck, are you against democracy?

Are you saying that we should overturn the election, Pleck?

No.

Oh, yikes.

No, I'm just saying it was stolen.

That's something that you want to really commit to.

We're all going to have to quit now.

This is a little awkward.

This is getting too political.

I'm not getting the vaccine, everyone.

Good stuff.

Pick up from

Nermit.
