Season 3 Coming March 20th... on Maximum Fun!

Hey, everybody, this is Alden Ford here.

As you probably know, I play Emissary Pleck Deck Setter.

We have some very exciting news for you.

Starting in season three, coming up next month, Mission to Zix will be moving to the Maximum Fun Network.

We're very excited about this.

It's an awesome podcast network full of like-minded comedians, artists, and geeks.

It's listener-supported, it's artist-owned, and we are honestly proud to be part of a network alongside so many amazing shows.

So for those of you just joining us, maybe you're a maximum fun listener and you're just hearing about the show now, welcome.

Mission to Zix is a ridiculous space adventure about a ragtag team of ambassadors in the farthest reaches of deep space.

Our show is improvised and then it's lovingly edited and it's obsessively sound designed to create one big crazy space epic.

And we hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoy making it.

So for those of you just tuning in, we have put together a little intro into the show, Mission to Zix.

Enjoy.

Emissary Jackson, we have an incoming transmission from Missions Operations Manager Nerman Bungaloy.

Oh, okay.

Hey, Nerman, what's up, bud?

Hey, guys, I know, I know it's a day off.

Yeah, I was gonna say I got this email and it was in all caps, so I knew I had to contact you immediately.

I don't think that's what all caps.

Some people just don't know how to use keyboards, so you don't have to like

pretty much you don't do that unless it's really urgent and important and it's not my aunt pretty much only types in all caps.

Yeah, you might want to look at those messages.

They may all be urgent.

From Dar's aunt?

Yeah.

Okay.

Dubious.

Anyway, here's the email.

Dear crew of the bargain.

Now you can probably just relax.

It's already

understand that we know it's all caps.

Okay.

Dear crew of the bargerian jade, what do you do?

Oh, wow.

What do we do?

Who sent this message?

Didn't put their first name, huh?

Jay Period Thorne.

I once stayed at a J period.

Oh, yeah?

It was a it was a tiny ship.

Oh,

like a fighter?

Like a little fighter jet.

Bargie, is it what's it like when you date a ship smaller than you?

Like, is it weird?

The dynamics?

No.

Oh, that's nice.

Can I ask you a question?

When you're like.

I have a question.

What do you do?

Okay, fair.

Well, Jay, we are a team of emissaries, sort of like ambassadors, you know, going from planet to planet, and we, you know, gather information,

resources, and, you know, we're sort of like a team of space heroes.

Heroes?

Yeah, heroes.

That's an exaggeration.

Okay.

That's a kind of strong word.

Space.

Space friends?

I want to make friends.

Okay, fair enough.

Yeah, one of us is a ship.

Yeah, that's okay.

Okay, fine.

C-53, what do you do?

Well, I am C-53.

I'm a critical and diplomatic relations droid.

I assist a Tulurian agent that is, of course, a Plectax Eric.

It's me communicating with alien species, helping him navigate the many social guidelines that he may not be familiar with.

That's most of them, I'd say.

Yes, well, I didn't want to.

No, it's okay.

That's all right.

Yeah, I'm generally doing a lot of work.

Okay, good.

See, that was like a great answer.

That was very informative.

It was, yeah, I just realized I never said my name.

I'm Pleck.

Yes, that's why I said it.

Darb, what do you do exactly?

Well, I would say my sexual appetite is insatiable.

I guess I sort of meant to do many different

types of

question about your ship-based duties, huh?

Yeah.

Oh, my technical position is security officer, but I do whatever the juck I want.

I mean, that's true.

Yeah.

That is accurate.

Wow.

Oh, Dari, you also didn't even tell this person how tall you are.

You're huge.

You're like 12 feet tall.

12 feet tall?

What?

What is this measurement?

I don't know.

I think it's probably based on like a Tellurian foot, like one of my feet.

I'm 12 of you.

Let's see for ourselves.

I am way taller than 12 of these foots.

Okay, avoid situations.

Alright, fine.

Can you drop your measuring plack?

And I'm Bargeri and Jade.

Oh, yeah, Bargie.

Ship of the stars.

I used to be the greatest Hollowwar you've ever seen.

I was in every single movie.

Name a movie, I was probably in it, either in the background, foreground, upground, downground.

You know, I was part of all the greatest historical moments of Hollywood.

And now I'm working here for you, because it all went away.

So

we're the crew of you.

Yeah, yeah, whatever.

Also, I'm the ship.

I am, uh, to clarify the ship that you're all in, if you want to get technical about it.

Yes.

Yeah, thanks.

Thanks, Bargie.

It's a pleasure.

Yeah.

All right, that's it.

And I am, of course, Missions Operations Manager Nerman Bundeloye.

I'm alert.

My species is halfway evolving from lizards into birds, which is, I think, overly technical.

I assign the missions to this, possibly the best crew in, I'd say, the best quadrant, the Zig Squadron of the Trimillion Second.

Objectively false.

What about this other person that we're not talking about?

The someone else in the ship.

What?

What do you mean there's someone else in the ship?

Oh boy.

Wow, that's bad.

Okay.

My pets and size!

Oh boy, Norman, this guy's butt's on fire.

We got a species that their butts are on fire, or is it a...

Oh, well, that's not sad.

Are you okay?

Why do you?

Oh.

How have you to see this?

Why are you asking questions about it?

But now we're just in sort of a QA type moment.

Hey, buddy, we didn't stow away on this ship.

Also, if your whole species butts are on fire, isn't that like what you are?

Why would we?

I'm a cruel joke of the universe!

Do something!

And there you have it.

Integrity.

Always integrity.

You can listen to the first two seasons of Mission to Zix right now, all featuring this amazing voice cast and a ton of incredible guest comedians every episode.

And get ready for season three to launch on March 20th, Wednesday, March 20th, on Maximum Fun.

Very excited.

See you there.
