409: Rock the Pote [ft. Chrissy Shackelford]

It is a time of chaos.

Without a ruler, the galaxy is paralyzed by lawlessness, unrest, and of course, the colossal all wheat.

Which looks like if evil were a circle and on fire.

Now, Captain Dar and their intrepid crew must survive the looming threats, reunite a fractured galaxy, and meet weird bug creatures and stuff.

This

is Mission to Zinc.

Alright, crew, listen.

I know we want to see that experience as a negative,

but we shouldn't think of that asteroid as being underpopulated.

We should think of us as always preaching the importance of Sisu, okay?

Captain, there were two people on that asteroid.

Yeah, that seems sort of like we're spinning our wheels.

Captain, I just don't know that we are getting anywhere by going to these random places.

I know that Sisu wants to reach out to every planet.

Every planet.

Dog, you know, I respect you.

It's like you're a sibling I never had.

Absolutely.

We get each other.

Yes.

If you were a ship, I would keep you inside of me to keep you warm.

But here's the thing.

I don't got damn much gas, so...

Wait, what, Margie?

You're out of gas?

But we just keep going to places and I keep...

I can't, you know, gas is Monday.

You know what I mean?

No.

Listen, I hear all of you,

but

we are doing something important.

And one of these days, it's going to feel like a win.

You know, it's going to feel good.

Right now it feels bad.

Right now it feels almost like I am leading us down a path full of failure and disappointment.

Okay, Captain, you're not wrong.

But, but, but, I'm sure, I'm positive that we have a win in our future.

We're going to have a win.

Captain Darr, I have an incoming transmission, temporary emergency, emissarial negotiations, missions, operations manager, Nermit Bundala.

All right, Nermit,

give me something good.

Need a win, buddy.

Don't worry.

Well, you're just setting them up and knocking them down.

Thanks for doing the hard work out there.

I gotta say, we're all a little bit tired of going to these, you know, these random, sometimes uninhabited planets.

These powered up planets.

you.

We have to go to every planet.

Hearts, minds, tentacles,

supply stocks, we're changing them.

Everyone matters in this galaxy.

This is the hard work.

Everyone matters.

Nice political slogan.

There are trillions of planets in the galaxy.

It matters to Sisu.

Sisu wants it, guys.

So, like, I don't understand what the chucking problem is.

She wants it.

We're going to do it.

Thank you guys.

And I've got great news for you.

Yeah, we were just telling you that we we're missing

this.

You guys get to go to another planet.

How many people live on this planet permanent?

This is okay, guys.

Alright, let's check.

Hey, not bad.

5.1 billion.

Okay.

That's actually not so bad.

That's pretty good.

You know, you get a couple asteroids with two people, you get a 5.1 billion, and all averages out.

We're doing it.

My point is we should skip the asteroid with two people, and then the average would be much higher.

Okay, and I just, don't be mad, I did get the coordinates wrong on the asteroid with two people.

That was not.

That was a mistake, Nermit?

Yeah, I had, I see that, I put it on a post-it, and look at these two post-its, they're the same color.

What does that have to do with that?

I wrote down the coordinates on this post-it.

What's the other number?

The other number.

Oh, well, the other number was the right planet.

No, but what were the wrong coordinates?

For the asteroid.

Oh, the right coordinates.

For the planet, a different planet you should have gone to.

Why did you not go to that?

Where did the wrong coordinates come from, Nerman?

I wrote them down on this.

Yeah, but why did you write them down anywhere?

It was.

It's a lottery ticket.

It's not even a coordinate?

Well, it is, obviously.

The asteroid was there.

So the reason why I don't have a win

is because

you were bad at your job.

Right.

But out of the armpit of loss comes the bustling

bustling

firepower of winning.

Yes, yes, of course.

It rolls off the tongue.

Out of the armpit of loss comes the bustling firepower of winning.

That's just like you're saying firepower

from an armpit.

I mean, I guess that should be.

Also, a bustling armpit?

I got

you saying my armpit can.

Oh boy.

How many weapons are there, Adrian?

Watch, so hold on.

Wow.

Yeah.

I just sort of like go this.

I kind of have to like.

Where does the mortar curve?

I have to do a deep hip bend.

Terrible design.

That's still not pointed off.

That's barely horizontal.

AJ, where's the mortar currently?

Yeah, where's the shoe?

Oh, it's swimming around somewhere in my

mouth.

It's more just like I'm sort of massage it up and I'm like, oh, right.

You can see it through the skin.

So guys, here's...

No, that's not a coordinate.

Yes, this I'm sure is it.

Nope.

And here you go.

Verifying these coordinates so we don't waste our time.

Okay, looks like it is populated.

Yeah, all right.

Yeah, Nermit signal and seven B.

Okay, so that's a small win.

Nermit, why don't you have them digitally?

Like, these coordinates, these are strings of a dozen or so letters and numbers.

Yeah.

These should be in a computer somewhere.

I use my power cable.

What?

To the missionator.

Well, yeah, so I use my Q, like the next office over, I go get it off theirs and I write it down and I come back to my office.

That's a terrible system, Nermit.

Arguably not a system.

This explains a lot.

Fellow no nadas, the all-week smiles upon you for finding your way here, blindfolded.

We gather to rejoice in our absolute ignorance of the all-week.

Yes, yes!

The less we know, the more perfect our minds.

For to know anything quantifiable of the infinite is by definition to know nothing.

So too is the infinite nature of our innocence.

Our lives are devoted to worshiping the utter incomprehension.

What did you say?

Who amongst us can guess what the mighty all weight could be?

I believe it is perchance an egg waiting to hatch.

Who may be?

Maybe.

What if it might be the eye of an enormous looking loop peeping about our seams?

Maybe, maybe.

I think perhaps it could be an ingrown star.

I mean, that's pretty unlikely, but I mean, it could be.

Maybe, maybe, maybe.

Yeah.

Sorry, I am not a Venus Marsh.

I must tell you that evidence,

evidence, all the more peaceful evidence suggests that the always is actually a rift in the fabric.

Listen to me.

The all-wheat can be known if only we can launch someone inside it to see what is on the other side.

And we have

very

time.

Stop it.

Stop covering your ears and eyes.

Scoot.

Scoot.

Oh, hit my expensive scooter.

Brothers and sisters, bop your ears until you forget those paws of this fact.

Bop!

Bop, I say, our unenlightened must be total.

When the all-week devours us all, or whatever, whatever happens, we shall be innocent of deigning to know what it is.

If it can even devour things, who knows?

It can, it will.

Support for the Phoenix's research comes from.

Nervous, right?

This is a bustling civilization.

This is great.

Wow.

But like, no spaceport.

A lot of lawns and gardens, houses made out of wood and bricks.

Oh, look at these little fences.

It's sort of little timey, you know?

Newspaper!

Newspaper!

Look at that jaunty little rock boy.

Oh, I like his little rock cap.

Wow, you got a real exastrophic too fast for us to catch up with him.

I really like this planet.

Charming.

Well, I guess let's, you know, door to door, I guess let's just...

Bock and boat, let's do it.

Yeah, all right.

It's like so literal.

This is actually a door that we're about to knock on.

Oh, the literature ribbon.

Alright, here we go.

Put it in the back.

Excuse me?

Hello?

Just put it, just roll it up and put it in the back.

Oh, is the house talking?

No, I think so.

I think someone's in there.

Okay, fine.

I'm coming out.

Oh, it's the dink.

What the dink is going on out here?

No.

Hi.

Oh, no.

So I'm Captain Jar.

No.

This is C53.

This is AJ.

And this is Pleck.

Am I dead?

No.

Am I dead?

No, you're alive.

You're alive.

This is a play that's dead people.

AJ.

What?

You're...

I'm sorry for whatever I did.

I don't know if this is like some sort of afterlife and you're here to torture me

for all my wrongs.

Calm down.

We are just here to

give you a little information about Sisu Gundu, the future savior of all quadrants here in the galaxy.

Okay.

Let me first.

Are you playing into

the middle of the moment?

Am I playing into what?

In the upcoming Adumanata?

I don't know what you're saying to me.

In the upcoming Galactic Election.

I don't think it's it was a volume.

I don't know what any of those words mean.

I swear, you can have anything in the house.

You know what dub means?

Miss, you know, maybe we should take a step back, guys.

Yeah, yeah, sure.

Okay, let's start simply.

Do you understand the word food?

The thing you get in when you're on the beach vacation.

Uh, no, that's a boat.

That's a boat.

That's a boat.

Oh,

I got an idea.

We came in a ship over there.

Marcy, say something.

Okay.

I am bitty in the movie.

Okay.

Yeah, AJ, that didn't clarify anything.

Yeah.

Miss, you know what?

I'm just going to leave you a little of our literature.

It's here on this holographic chip.

Feel free to peruse whenever you get a chance.

We really hope to see you at the end of the day.

Okay.

All right.

You know what?

Oh, go.

Wow.

Wow.

Yeah, well.

You know, not everyone wants to talk about it.

This is a pretty chilly reception.

Yeah.

She was not interested.

Well, are we.

I'm just going to take one second.

Check my clothes.

Make sure we're using non-seven

because sure yeah

Oh looks like I can finally get that newspaper

hey um uh newspaper rock boy

Wow pretty non-standard reaction to buying a newspaper from a frequent money okay I've gotten strong reactions before but look at them go that was rude

sure.

What's up?

You know, I could hit him for 50 seconds.

Put your gun down, AJ.

Yeah, I was about to say this.

AJ, put AJ, don't shoot the child.

All the time.

Um.

Oh boy.

The primo directivo?

Wait.

Okay.

C53, what is the primo directivo?

You are rude.

What?

You haven't heard the primo directivo?

I don't know what that.

What is what do those words even mean?

What is the primo directivo?

It is the first order for all space travel civilizations.

You just land on some planet that doesn't know what space travel is and start telling them about space travel.

Uh, okay.

People find out that we broke the pre-real deer tea and Sisu Seiso.

That's a huge knowledge.

Alright, I hate to say it, but we are

in trouble and we need to get back into that house.

Okay.

Yes.

Hello again.

You know what?

We're gonna need to come inside.

Oh!

I'm hosting all of a sudden.

So people crash land on my porch, and now all of a sudden I'm supposed to have cookies.

Yeah, come in.

You eat shit-that's right,

you don't.

You got dietary restrictions?

C-53 can't eat.

Yeah, okay, so I would call that a dietary restriction.

This might be a shock for you.

I'm a sentient robot.

I don't know what sentient is.

Okay.

Well, let me show you the house.

Oh.

Wow.

Welcome.

So, this is kind of the sitting area.

This is lovely.

Thank you so much.

Yeah, it smells very bad here.

that's really messed up because I just put in an air freshener.

Did you?

Yeah.

Uh, well, sorry, it doesn't smell bad.

I was wrong.

Doesn't smell like puts in here.

Does anyone else think it smells like puts in here?

Alright, AJ.

Uh, listen, Miss.

Sorry, what was your name?

Roop?

Okay, uh, listen, whoop, we should sort of explain our situation.

We, and I would prefer if you would keep this just sort of between us.

We are visitors from outside of your planet.

What's the planet?

The lack of contact with the greater coin community has really a detrimental effect on my vocabulary.

I think that that was a big leap planet.

I think we should have started.

We're from out of town.

Yeah.

Two towns over, Dang Fango.

Can you imagine a town that is

so far in the sky?

It's on a star.

You see it?

You take a skywow skywow to it?

A what?

Skywow?

That thing.

It goes in the air.

It's got wings.

You have to show up and you go through a big metal thing and they make you take out your lotions and stuff.

A Skywow.

That's an airplane.

But

you would take a Skywow.

But imagine if a Skywow could go up and then just keep going up.

And imagine if that Skywow could sing and dance and act.

If it was a triple thing.

Yeah, AJ, that's not really relevant to this.

No, she's got it all, is what I'm talking about.

I know.

I know.

Oh, you're talking about my sister.

Bam!

Oh, the triple threat of town.

Sorry, your sister's name is Bam?

Bam!

Okay.

Wow.

Triple threat.

Yeah.

Okay.

Uh.

You all are aliens, right?

are.

Oh, she figured it out.

You're from a different place, maybe a different time, but nonetheless.

We never said anything about time.

Time is now.

Nonetheless, you don't want anyone to know this you're here.

That should be for the best.

That should be for the best.

Yeah, so if you could just forget about us, we'll be on our way.

Or just look right into this.

Want to take pictures of us?

Permission to like just open up the air.

AJ, no, no.

Okay.

I just sent that picture to the local newspaper.

And now everybody knows who you are.

You said your name was Pleck.

You said your name was Captain.

Yep, that's me.

You said your name was I Don't Eat.

And you said your name was AJ.

Already sent to the paper.

Okay.

And now everybody's gonna know my name.

Whoop, look.

We're between a rock and a hard place.

Good, nice.

I didn't know that you didn't know about us.

We're in a little bit of trouble.

So, if you could just

help us out of this jam, that'd be great.

Okay, fine, fine, fine, fine.

I deleted the email.

Thank you.

You can do that?

Yeah, it's called unsending.

You can no, that is not a technology that we have.

What is unsending?

That would be brilliant.

No, once it goes, it goes into their server, and then you don't have access to it.

Nope, for up to 30 minutes, you're

unsend any email you'd like to.

Wow, I would unsend every email if they've read it in 30 minutes.

They immediately have to go to sleep, and then they are supposed to tell themselves it was a dream.

What a flawless system!

That's a good system.

Really?

Yeah.

But I know Jahir.

I know Jaheer.

I think I got you at my fingertips.

And I can make you do whatever the dink I want you to.

Oh.

I mean,

we're happy to help in any way we can.

Oh, no, no.

They're blackmailing us.

You're blackmailing us, right?

Guys, we are digs.

We're big time digs right now.

Okay, AJ.

Get up really quick.

That's right.

You are dinked.

And I am blackmailing you because I won't tell anyone about you and your little shit that talks and sings and sleeps.

If you help me sabotage my sister, get the poet for the town bell.

We're gonna need to dig into what that sentence means.

Every year, the town does a popularity contest.

They get a little palette and they pote and they put it in the box and everyone votes for who they want to be.

The town bell.

The town bell gets a sash, and then the town bell gets to perform for the next year, whatever they want, and everyone has to go and everyone has to cheer them on.

Is this something you would want to do if it was

okay?

Who wouldn't be the town bell?

Yeah, who would want to be poted town bell?

There's a commissioner who presides over the whole thing, makes sure all the poting goes smoothly.

Okay, so this actually helps a lot.

So we were actually coming from there.

We were going to pot.

No, we're not.

You can help me.

Oh, yeah.

Unfortunately,

is there

a poop for that coming up?

Yeah, the poop is tonight.

There's one wrinkle, though.

Holy

cow.

Yeah.

At the moment, we're balancing a lot of ours.

The commissioner is our father.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

That's a big wrinkle.

All I need you to do is sabotage my sister.

And I know she's gonna win it again.

I just need you to undermine her in some way.

Make her look like a real dip shit, not to be confused with the shifted.

Okay, yeah.

Well, how could we

three extraterrestrials and a robot?

Good counting, AJ.

Proud of you.

Undermine a local catalyst ship.

I don't know.

Pancer.

Set it on fire.

Okay.

spit it with goo.

Just because we're aliens doesn't mean we produce goo.

I do.

What?

What?

What actually comes out of my other armpit?

I have a mortar on one and an all-purpose goo on the other.

What is an all-purpose goo?

It's for binding, uh, spackling, things like that.

It's all-purpose.

Okay, alright.

I can't believe I haven't used my goo armpit before.

Yeah, it's weird that this is the first time we're just learning about this canon

of goo.

So in order, let's just recap.

Pants her, set her on fire, cover her in goo.

Are you a species that if we set fire to you, you would burn to death?

Am I a species?

That's very personal.

I may have said something in your language.

Species for you means someone who has sex for Monday.

Oh, okay.

I apologize.

So what were you asking me?

I don't eat buttons.

If I light you on fire, will you burn to death?

Okay.

So.

Maybe this is the best plan.

This one is

a show that we get out of here.

I mean, that does seem.

Hey Jay.

Does anyone else smell butts?

I don't actually smell butts, AJ.

I'm not really sure what you're talking about.

Maybe you smell butt.

Anyone who smells butts?

Maybe it might be you.

Maybe it might be me.

AJ, it might be you.

Yeah, is it the helmet?

Is it going to be cold?

Yeah, it might be.

How often do you change those filters?

Change the.

Here, I'm just going to tap this.

Oh, wow.

Yeah, you got to change that filter.

Sorry.

Look at this juice coming up.

AJ, your filters smell like butts.

Okay, alright, might be.

This one's on old AJ.

Let's put the filters back in.

No, you gotta.

Don't put it back in.

Yeah, what am I gonna do?

I don't know about the air here.

I'm off to the performance.

I'll see you there.

Okay.

So let me get this straight.

The plan is, we, a mismatched group of aliens, are going into a crowd of people who don't know we exist to preserve the Primo Directivo?

That's the gist of it, yeah.

Yeah, when you say it sort of like that, it seems like not a great plan.

AJ, uh, quick aside.

Yeah.

Just, you know, maybe also have your gun ready.

You got it, Captain.

Okay, this is it.

Yeah, this is the night.

The night of the year.

Welcome, welcome, Design Commissioner.

It's my day.

The greatest day of the year here when we crown the town bell and

I know there's not a lot of suspense about who it's gonna be, but it's still an exciting moment.

Coding is important.

Every voice counts.

Uh, whoop.

Um, yeah.

How is her how many years has your sister been the town bell?

32.

Oh, good boy, yeah.

She won it first year she was born.

Wow.

Everyone said the baby had like a way about her.

Yeah,

look, there she is, still deserving of it, even after 32 years.

AJ, how's the goo coming?

Papa, I'm secreting as fast as I can, but my glands can only do so much.

Let's hide.

Yeah, don't ask me.

You don't want to know about the glands and the goo.

And we want to thank all of the contestants who submitted themselves to this for some reason.

Are you the only one competing against your sister?

You know, people kind of started dropping off once they realized that BAM was gonna win it every year.

So it's just been me, and then sometimes people throw in objects just as a fun joke.

Objects!

Will it be woo?

Will it be this broom?

Will it be this gum wrapper?

Gum wrapper!

Yeah, that one, ooh, that one gets really close every year.

The same wrapper is running multiple years in a row.

Yeah, and it has gotten a huge makeover over the past year.

A lot of work done.

Wow.

Will it be this old steak?

Oh,

oh.

That feels like someone thought that was the trash.

Or will it be BAM?

I hate when she luxuriates in her own name.

Yeah.

Hi, everybody.

All right, AJ.

Yeah.

You sneak under the stage.

Got it.

Perfect pants position.

I'm gonna advance the sister at the right moment.

Okay, excellent.

That's great.

I'm hiding here.

Now I've disguised myself as this fine machine, and you know, this might seem a little aggressive, but I have a fling attachment.

Wow, that's great.

Yeah, well, you know, you're gonna get the jug top.

I'm hoping that the hood of this robe is going to keep anyone from noticing I'm not made of rocks.

Great, great.

And I put on this beard.

Yeah, Dar, I'm not sure if that will.

I mean, look at the audience.

They all have beards.

Yeah, but Dar, you're much larger.

Stage crew coming through.

Oh, Ko-woo-woo!

You grew a beard.

Yes.

Thank you.

Okay, all right, it works.

This species is weird.

Yeah.

Oh, we don't call each other species unless we're actually species.

Oh, right, right, right.

Right, right, right.

We're gonna get position.

Okay.

This competition is not about your looks, it's about the energy that you possess.

My sister knows about that, isn't that right?

Where is she?

I'm right here.

Sister, I may be a triple friend, but that's because you're the one who rises me up.

What the dink?

She's got a heart.

And sister,

this year I want you to also

be my co-bear.

What?

Okay, now, now.

Now, now, go now, AJ.

It's your role here.

No, see, fire.

No!

First, try!

Take back up!

No, no, no, sister, what's happening?

No!

Alright, clack.

What is this?

Clack, lift, lift.

And they go to the go.

Oh, my bad!

My bad in this fountain!

My bad!

Why did you still do this?

I lose the plants.

She was being so nice, I was getting attention.

Do we agree?

We sabotage her and you let us know.

Look at her bottom half is melting and it smells like butts in here.

Okay, so it's not just me.

What is this sabotage of my delightful daughter, Bam?

That was a triple threat.

Pants, fire, goo.

It was these freaks.

They came from another planet just to sabotage my beautiful sister.

They're aliens.

And they want us to do something called Vogue, which seems like some dinked-up sex thing, if you ask me.

No, it's not at all.

It can be.

And they're ruining everything.

They said they want to hurt the Commissioner, I heard, maybe.

We never said that.

We gotta go.

We gotta go.

Get him, Commissioner.

Whoa.

Get him before they leave in a skywow that goes upward.

I will never understand this.

Security, grab those aliens.

We gotta read the votes are counted.

We're calling the winner.

Security, grab those aliens and everyone clap for the new bell.

The gum wrapper.

Wait, if aliens exist, then what's the point of any of this?

Alright, so let me get this straight, okay?

You broke the Primo...

What was it, Narativo?

Primo Directivo.

I mean, we didn't set out.

Yeah, we didn't know we were doing it.

Right.

But at the end of the day, the most important thing in the story is we can unsend emails now?

Wow.

I mean, I don't really know how the technology works, Bargie.

Wow, I'm gonna start right now.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

They can do it.

I don't know how

ship.

Hey, it was small the entire time.

He knows what that means.

No, Bargie, I wouldn't send that.

To Derek, that's a dumb name.

No one should be named Derek.

I mean, Bargie, you can unsend these by not writing them in the first place.

Yeah, you haven't sent them to them.

To Bernick Funda Soy, that's not a name.

Why did you have an easier name like Derek?

Hollywood Media tonight is a drunk text.

No, no, no.

Texts aren't even emails.

Yeah, we don't know anything about that.

You're corny.

You know what?

I'm gonna email every single coin I know.

I don't hate coins.

No.

Corn number one,

corn number two.

Bargie, Bargie, we don't have this technology.

I'm gonna send you a very terrible email right now, but you'll never get it.

No, I'm reading it now, but

you just got it.

I just got it.

That's very.

What do you mean you just got it?

It's a photo of my butt.

Where did you get that?

Captain Dora, I have an incoming transmission from temporary emergency ministerial negotiations missions operations manager.

Bundel boy.

Oh, no.

Hey, Nerm.

Bargie, this is so hateful, okay?

I understand that my music is not for everyone.

But how can something be pandering and esoteric?

It doesn't even make sense.

Okay.

I would never speak like that.

I'm an artist.

You don't set that email?

Plexent.

Nermit, Nermit.

Nermit, listen, can you do us a favor?

Just go to sleep and try to convince yourself that that email from Barjie was a dream.

Okay.

Sounds good, bye.

Oh, wow.

We hung up.

Video games.

You like them?

Maybe you wish you had more time for them.

It's a brand new podcast about video games.

A podcast about video games?

But I don't have time for that.

Sure, you do.

Once a week, Kickback as three video game experts give you everything from critical takes on the hottest new releases, to scoops interviews and explanations about how video games work to fascinating and sometimes weird stories about the games we love.

Hey podcast fan!

We have a quick favor to ask.

We'd like to get a better idea of who you are and what you care about.

So if you have a couple moments to spare, go to maximumfund.org/slash ad survey.

There, we've got a short, anonymous survey that won't take any more than 10 minutes to fill out.

Plus, if you finish it, you'll get a 10% discount on our merch at the Max Fun store.

MaxFun shows have always relied on support from our members and always will.

The survey will help keep the few ads we do run relevant and interesting for you.

Again, that's maximumfund.org/slash/ad survey, all one word.

And thanks for your help, help.

They're just looking to perform.

So the four of us are in costume, and we are.

Sorry when my cats ran over me.

I'm under a blanket, so that was very scary.

Okay.
