Announcement: stuff Stuff STUFF!

Hey there, it's Jeremy with Alden and Seth from Mission to Zix.

Hello.

Hey, hey.

It's the third week of the relaxed four-week max fun drive, and in the last two episodes, we've tugged on your heartstrings with pitches about why your support matters so much.

I think Seth more than me, honestly.

But no, Alden, you've tugged.

You tugged some strings.

I tugged.

Yeah, there were tug tugs.

You yanked, maybe.

I did.

I

kalima your heart strings.

I don't know what that is.

That's a template tom.

Yeah.

We tugged on those strings and yanked out hearts to, of course, express why your sport matters so much.

Not only because it lets us make the show, period, but it also keeps it free for everyone.

But that is not why we're here today.

Yeah, no.

Don't support Mission to Zix because it's the only way we can make the show.

We're talking about other stuff.

Literally, stuff.

That's right.

Support us for the massive trove of exclusive stuff you get by becoming a member.

Duh.

Do it for the stuff.

Yeah, in the words of old Derf.

It's a super dense collection of the stuff.

Wow.

You got like a Zucrew soundboard over there, Jeremy?

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

No, I'm cool.

I've also got AJ's.

Wow.

So first off, the new stuff.

We're talking our brand new Max FunDrive 2020 BoCo.

That's bonus content if you're not in the know.

Yeah.

I think most people are in the know at this point.

Okay.

All right.

I don't know.

I don't know where everyone stands.

We have an exclusive episode featuring returning amazing guest Matt Young of Hello from the Magic Tavern fame, playing an all-new character.

So we originally performed this episode as a live stream for Pod UK, but if you missed that, fear not.

Join Max Fun at any level and you will get this bonus episode.

Even if you did catch that live stream, the episode has now been edited and sound designed to become a prime episode.

It's all spiffed up.

I would say it's a special edition.

Yeah.

Do it, right?

That always bodes well for science fiction.

Oh, and also, I mean, if you're an AJ fan, you really don't want to miss this one because it sort of fills in some canon background for everyone's favorite clone.

AJ.

And Matt was also, obviously, super funny in this episode.

And a little spoiler alert, when we asked Matt to guest, he said, I'd love to play anyone's dad.

So we definitely took him up on that offer.

Should we give a little spoiler clip?

Yeah.

Is that on your soundboard, Jeremy?

Yeah, here.

Actually, I got it loaded up.

Cool.

Look, AJ, I'm not.

I haven't been the best dad, even though I'm kind of the best at being a dad.

But

it's up to us to forge a new relationship now because

my health isn't what it once was.

Oh, no.

The tube of blue liquid.

I didn't understand how important this was to you.

This is.

AJ, you gotta.

Yeah, I guess tube of blue liquid I always worried that you weren't gonna be proud of me because I wasn't, you know,

like

cylindrical.

And I, you know, I don't.

I mean, I have liquid in me, but I don't think the right amount or maybe the right color.

Yeah, it's not blue in there, but that's okay.

I know it's not blue.

Hey, it's okay.

I'm not you.

I don't want sticker alive.

Why do you think I'm making liquids?

I'm trying to use a liquid like tin salt.

It's worth mentioning that you don't have to wait to get that episode.

As soon as you back us on Max Fun, boom.

It's already up on the site.

You could be listening to it right now.

Yeah, I'm listening to it right now.

I can't hear what you're saying at all.

Oh, let's talk about all the stuff.

Should we just fight?

Does Alden also owe you money, Jeremy?

Yeah.

Can he really not hear us?

Well, he's looking pretty mad in this Zoom.

Okay.

And that is in addition to several more live episodes featuring hilarious returning guests, multiple ringtone packs, a full-length Berman Nundaloy album, other original music from the show, behind-the-scenes goodies, and maybe our favorite thing.

I think, just to, you know, go back to Berman Undelay for a second, it's rare when you have a podcast full of people who can sing, and then you give the guy who's tone deaf a full album.

Yeah, well, you know, we like to push the envelope.

I'm here with Alden Ford and Jeremy Vinn, both wonderful singers, didn't get their own album.

Me,

tone deaf, one of dozens of great decisions we've made over the course of Mission to Zix production.

But one of the things you get by joining Max Fund that is maybe our favorite thing is access to our Discord server where you can chat with other listeners.

We're there all the time.

Some of us, maybe too much, me.

And it's really fun.

It's such a great community.

It's this huge, active community of very kind and funny people.

And we love being a part of it.

You can join the TooMuch Alden channel, the Why Is Alden here all the time channel.

Yep.

It's a webcam of my office that's on all the time, whether I want to be or not.

Just beware of the Benis channel.

That's a real channel.

Oh, yeah.

Don't go in.

Don't go into that.

Yeah, that's a real channel.

Don't go into the Benis channel.

That's a real too hot for this promo kind of channel.

So that's true.

You got to join if you want the Benis.

That's not a good reason, honestly.

Yeah, it's a terrible reason to join, but it is a reason.

Yeah.

Certainly add it to the list

at the bottom of the list.

Sure, yeah.

It's a huge amount of stuff that you will get if you become a Max Fun member.

And that's not even mentioning the physical stuff, the stuff,

the capital S stuff that you get when you join Maximum Fun.

Most notably, perhaps, is pins.

If you join or upgrade at the $10 level or higher, you can get our brand new pro all-wheat enamel pin declaring, I'm with the all wheat.

I love this pin.

You know, it's like a vintage political pin design showing your support for your favorite evil planet-consuming black hole that's on fire.

Yeah, out of all of the possible ones that you could support, the best one, I think.

And then also at $20 per month, you get this awesome custom deck of max fun playing cards and six custom dice.

What?

For $20 per month.

Oh, boy.

Plus the pin and all the bonus content that we talked about.

Boy, that sounds fun.

Yeah.

And at $35 per month, a maximum fun camp mug engraved with their rocket logo.

Our rocket logo.

Can I say, is that too bold?

You can.

I don't know.

We're on the network.

You can say that.

And our show has a rocket in it, kind of.

Oh, okay.

So we're

allowed to appropriate it.

In an attempt to be sort of inside, I actually

just approached our own explaining this.

I apologize.

So, you know, you can choose whatever level is right for you at maximumfund.org slash join.

Yep.

Just pick mission to zix when you enter your info and boom, you're making the show with us.

I mean, not in person, but on a conceptual level.

And as a reminder, please do not join because it's the only way we can make the show.

Join

so you can fill your own personal vault with all this physical and digital stuff.

And certainly also don't join for Penis on the Discord.

That's a bad idea.

I'm getting an email from MaxFun.

They're getting too many members.

Too many members joining for Penis.

Oh, they're shutting down the drive because they've quadrupled.

They're shutting down the drive.

But honestly, thank you to everyone who has signed up.

And if you're considering signing up, it means the world to us.

And these items are just but a token of our gratitude to you.

Hello, am I in the right room?

Oh, Mujan.

Solf Agari.

Oh, hi.

Sorry, I was just standing in the back.

I can't believe it.

Mujan is here in this empty digital room

that we were all standing in.

I was waving my hand back and forth, but no one was paying attention.

Oh, it's probably because we don't have physical bodies.

Oh, yeah.

That's probably what it is.

Anyway, you guys forgot something really important, so I just unmuted myself to make sure.

What did we forget?

What is it?

We're actually going to be doing something this Saturday.

We're going to have a live listen in honor of Max Fun this Saturday.

I love those.

With Cast of Mission Disex.

I don't know if you guys have heard of them.

They're a podcast about space.

Yeah, we're actually talking to listeners of the show right now.

And investments and space.

Wait, it's about space and investments?

Yeah.

Okay.

Space, daily news and investments.

That doesn't really sound like my thing.

Yeah, we're doing a live listen at 7 o'clock Eastern Time this Saturday, August 1st, with a favorite episode of ours with a special guest.

It's going to be a lot of fun.

It'll be on our YouTube page.

Very cool.

You're talking about youtube.com/slash mission to zix.

That's right.

Viewer questions will be answering.

Yeah.

Maybe some gentle ribbing between cast members.

Oh, some jocular conversation.

No, Mujan, thank you for this important information.

I can't believe we forgot it.

We will be there.

You will be there.

You listening to us right now will be there, hopefully.

And that guy will be there too.

That other guy who's silent, who's also in this virtual virtual world.

Oh, there's someone else floating on the street ether.

Who is that?

We should go.

We should go.

I think it's his room.

I didn't realize he was just watching us this whole time.

Folks, thank you so much for listening to the show.

Thank you for supporting the show.

Thank you in advance for being here on Saturday to see us do a live listen.

We love you, and we will see you next week with an all-new episode.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Happy Max Fun Drive.

Happy Max Max.

Thanks, everybody.

Oh, what was that sound effect?

That's for my private stock.
