105: A Critical Vulnerability [ft. John Murray]

The period of civil war has ended.

The rebels have defeated the evil galactic monarchy and established the harmonious Federated Alliance.

Now, Ambassador Pleck Dexeta and his intrepid crew travel the farthest reaches of the galaxy to explore astounding new worlds, discover their heroic destinies, and meet weird bug creatures and stuff.

This

is Mishman.

Ambassador Dexter, you look confused.

Oh, I'm just trying to make my way through this briefing of yours.

Oh, are you having trouble?

Well, no, it's just it's a lot of history, so I'm trying to kind of you know parse it out.

Uh, I'm reading about the Council of Seven.

An excellent subject to read about, Ambassador Dexter?

Yeah, they are the group of seven best friends who founded the Federated Alliance.

I mean, what a coincidence, right?

That they're seven best friends.

I'm afraid it was no accident, Ambassador Deck Setter.

Oh, were they friends before they founded the Alliance?

I suggest you read on in my informational briefing.

Well, it says here that they became seven best friends after agreeing to unite the galaxy with a federation of alliances.

It seems like founding a galaxy-wide government would be a great way to bond with six other people.

I guess so.

The six other most powerful people in the galaxy.

Exactly.

Well, I, for one, am glad they're friends, you know?

But how close are they really?

Well, Tara, you are welcome to read my informational briefing as well.

I mean, but that's information that they put out there.

I'm just saying I'm someone that could only really have one best friend.

I couldn't have six best friends.

Hmm.

I mean, it says here they have a standing brunch date.

Sure.

Every week.

I have a standing brunch date, and you guys always come.

You have to sit there while I pour my heart out to my fellow best friend ship?

I mean, the best ships of all are friendships.

Ugh, I don't get it.

I don't understand.

Come on.

Ambassador Dixon, I have an incoming transmission from Junior Missions Operations Manager Nermit McDeloy.

Hello, Nermit.

You start every call with a sigh, Nermit.

Well, no one.

I need to relax.

No, I you guys understand that a sigh is a response to something in one's life that is very stressful.

It's a a way of trying to let out an emotion that you're trying to hold in so hard.

I mean, yeah, that's true.

Why hold it in any longer, Nermit?

Okay, I'm sorry if I'm stressed.

I just, just before dialing you, I got a note that I'm supposed to be with my superiors about the quote keck situation.

So

I'm not exactly

sure.

Right.

So I'm not exactly looking forward to that, but I'm sure I will be able to represent us as having done as the best we could.

After all, we repelled them.

We did repel them, that's yeah, Dar repelled them.

Yeah,

is there a mission we are about to undertake?

Yes, the mission is

furnishings replacement.

I like this one, we love this one.

Our mission is to buy new furniture exactly.

So, if you look around you, you can, of course, see that that couch in the middle is

70% devoured and 22% burnt.

Yep.

I don't know, C53, that was a guess, but...

That's actually fairly accurate.

Hey,

71% consumed and 19% burned, but,

you know.

Not bad.

That's a pretty good thing.

That's actually very, very close.

Yeah.

So, anyway, between the Keck eating the furniture and Dar in heat burning them up,

we obviously need to outfit Bargie, and I've cut a deal where only 50% of it has to come out of your pay.

What?

What?

Yeah, that's normally if this happens,

it would just be completely out of the ambassador team's pay and I'm getting the company to pay for half.

But they should pay for all of it.

The bugs.

We were ambushed by bugs.

Yeah.

Frankly, also,

burning the furniture is a medical condition, so I feel like I'm being.

Yeah.

Also, I'm gonna interject here because if you're gonna furnish me, we're not gonna get some cheap couches, okay?

I only have one inside of me, and I want it to be furnished with the finest materials.

That makes sense.

Your body's a temple.

Mm-hmm.

Well, Plex, since you agree, why don't you uh why don't you cover the half?

Okay,

okay, sounds good.

Yeah, they're willing to have it on credit where you'll just owe them however many weeks of labor.

That's fine.

So, C53, if you just want to uh project the list of nearby, um, uh, malls,

as we are within a few light years of the nearby uh Tiger Nebula strip ball.

Oh, sounds high quality.

High quality or not, it does contain a furniture store.

Shall we proceed there?

Great, totally.

Yeah, your call on which mall, as they say.

No, I just said.

No, I just said the sentence that happened to rhyme.

Well, this is very exciting.

We are going to go.

We're going to outfit Bargie with a brand new couch.

Well talk like think about this.

This is a mission that has like a seriously high probability of success.

You guys are buying couches.

Yeah, what could pop what could possibly be?

What could go wrong?

What could go wrong?

Seems like we're tempting fate by saying it so many times.

Hello.

Can you hear me?

This is rebel leader Rolfus Tittle.

Support for the rebellion against the lame Federated Alliance comes from Miundis.

Being a Rebel involves a lot of calisthenics and a lot of desk work.

Either way, the most annoying situation possible is uncomfortable undergarments.

Luckily, the official underwear of the rebellion comes from Miundis.

Miundis will be the most comfortable pair of underwear you will ever own, made from sustainably sourced, naturally soft fabric that is three times softer than cotton.

Unlike Alliance issue skivvies, which are 20% as soft as rusted iron, not soft.

And get this: meundies comes with a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

You will love your undies or you get your money back.

Order now and get 20% off your first pair plus free shipping.

Just go to meundies.com/slash zix

for that special offer.

That's meundies.com/slash zix.

Rolf is tittle in very soft underwear.

Dropping the hot mic.

All right, guys, here we are.

Seeds furniture.

Here, you sit on your own chair.

Miss, I don't know.

You sit on that chair that hasn't been sold yet right now, and you tell me it's still functional.

Well, you know, I have a policy.

No sitting in the store.

I think, you know what, Miss, if you could just leave my store, I think that would be better.

Well, I hope you get the Black Death disease.

You know what?

I've already had it and I beat it, okay?

I'm in remission.

Thank you very much.

Well, you know what?

I'm gonna sit on every single chair at this point.

No, don't, please don't.

No, don't do that.

Don't.

I'm sitting on one.

Okay, I almost felt it's turned into Sam.

Okay, all right.

Get out of here.

You get out of here.

Get out of here.

You know what?

I couldn't.

Throw up.

Please do it outside.

That lady was super upset.

She seemed very angry.

I apologize.

She didn't punch him, though.

I apologize for that.

You can't please everybody, you know?

Sure.

You can't please everyone.

I mean, I gotta say,

this is beautiful furniture, but that lady seemed to have a real gripe.

Thing about building is that you gotta embrace the flaws.

And I just, I feel like that, you know, I leave things open.

I want to leave things just a little bit mysterious.

You know what I'm saying?

Sure.

Shouldn't some things be closed?

You know, whoever built you must have been a real tight ass.

Okay, Robot Man, because guess what?

They had to make you all perfect so you could have all these smart answers with me.

Right now, who knows?

I'd like let you cry and feel things.

I'm afraid I cannot cry.

You should have come to me first.

I'd have you crying, getting depressed.

It is a main point.

I could not have come to you before I was invented.

You see, right there, oh, your creator, if I could meet that guy, I would kick his ass.

This here, this basket chair.

You call this a pom-pom?

A pom-pom, yeah.

It comes with the Ottoman?

It comes with the Ottoman, yes.

You gonna sit in that?

I don't think you should sit in that.

I don't.

That seems like sizism.

It is, it is.

I'm blatantly, i'm gonna be honest you're gonna break all my stuff well it sounds like it breaks no matter what okay look your size isn't gonna help things

yeah you tried see okay all right

all right it's really i got no sitting policy but okay oh

it has turned into is this tank

i gotta say i feel like almost everything in here there's like one part of the like the chair, the couch, the pom-pom.

You touch it and it just falls apart.

No, I okay.

I feel like all you'd need to do is just cover up that one thing or reinforce that one thing.

Yeah.

You know, but

if you went to you know, architecture school or any contractor, I mean, I think that's just closed-minded thinking.

I gotta be honest with you guys.

I gotta be honest.

I've been in some crazy circles, okay?

I used to be, okay, I used to be a big-time deal.

Okay, I used to be a big-time deal.

You made chairs that fell apart for like for celebrities?

Okay, okay.

I make more than chairs.

I'm more than a chair and table guy.

No, you know.

Does the name Zwog Tambuy mean anything to any of you?

Of course.

The architect of the Planet Crusher weapon.

You're looking at him right here and flushing.

You're the Zwag Tambuye.

I'm Zwog Tambu.

You designed the Planet Crusher.

I designed the Planet Crusher, yeah.

I'm a big deal, okay?

Tons of fun.

I'm a big deal.

This is huge.

Wow, what an honor.

c53 can i talk to you for a second

can i just stand behind this big chair go ahead don't touch it c53 yes this is the guy who built the planet crusher yes the the monarchy super weapon yes the crushed planets yes the planet crusher

he's like he's a he's like a war criminal he's not like a war criminal

well we caught we caught him right we don't catch anybody we are a diplomatic relations team we don't have the authority to bring him in

wow i okay all Alright, alright.

I guess we'll just keep talking to him then, right?

Yes, of course.

And it's a deal.

Fine, fine.

Twisted my arm.

You get the couch.

Thank you.

You bought a couch?

I did buy a couch.

I

think Bargie would like it.

It's a beautiful couch.

Yeah, I would say don't ever touch it, sit on it, just, yeah.

I must ask him.

Yes.

Swab.

Yes.

Why would you leave the planet crusher with such a massive critical vulnerability?

The exhaust port.

You see, the way it works in construction, guys, you build something and then you got a seven-month period where your client can come back and be like, hey...

I got problems with this.

You got to fix that and stuff like that.

I gave the monarchy a good seven months there to have any complaints about any structural design problems.

No one complained a bit, okay?

But they flew a small fighter inside and blew up the entire thing.

The reactor was like visible from the outside.

You know, the things you're describing, you know what?

I'm disappointed.

It was my work to see destroyed, but I was, I said to them, I was like, is there anything you want me to fix?

No one in the monarchy ever complained, even near the end.

Everyone was very sick.

They did crush a lot of planets.

Yes, they did.

It's hard.

I mean,

I feel guilty about that.

Do you really?

I do.

I gotta be honest.

I built it, which is kind of, you know, I just build things.

I don't figure out the purpose for them, you know?

That's not yours.

I designed it.

But the planet crusher's entire job, it's a cube that opens up and then like an enormous mouth crushes a planet.

True, true.

It could be exactly.

See, robot master.

What other things could it be used for?

Come on.

Imagine crushing a smaller planet crusher with a larger one.

I would have loved to have seen that.

You may not have emotions, but you get me.

You know what?

I like this idea.

What, whoever programmed this part, this is...

I'm down with it.

Well, it's just too bad.

All those planet crushers were destroyed so easily.

Look, uh,

I know you're trying to get a rise out of me, okay?

I know I've been poked and prodded about this before, but you want to know what?

You know what?

I went through some dark periods after the monarchy got thrown over.

I got

uh down.

I got low.

I got low.

I was on the brink of doing myself in.

But then I thought, you know what?

Maybe I'm gonna start being the best me, and I'm gonna get out there and make things right.

So started doing a 12-step, started going to meetings.

12-step what?

Recovery program.

Do you know of those?

No, I don't.

Okay.

You go and you meet with other beings.

Other like super weapon designers?

I met with a well, you know, it's anonymous.

I don't want to get into it too much, but I did meet a lot of people from the monarchy around that time.

A lot of the major players do go to these meetings.

You deal with the.

They have guilt?

They have guilt.

You deal with the atrocities that you did.

And you're just trying to find a place in the Federated Alliance world now where you fit in and how you can make up for the mistakes that you made.

I mean, you're one of the most unlikable people,

maybe in the entire universe, because not only did you help the monarchy, you then ultimately helped the Federated Alliance.

I mean, you have no friends, and not by being a spy or something.

Yeah, you weren't a turncoat, you just did

very bad at your job.

Yeah, yeah, I, you know, uh, these words are all true, all right, and they're all things I've come to terms with, all right?

I, I've, I have faced these things.

I mean, all I can do is say my name is wog tambuille and i am sorry and i wake up each morning i'm like how am i going to make it better all right i i spend countless hours writing apology notes i'm just i'm sending out stationary left and right trying to make up for all the people that were murdered on the planets the people on the planet crushers you know

right now a rough number i'm at about like uh 20 you know i really try to make them personal well then they will take some time i yeah could you give me a number on that robot man or uh how long how long will it take?

You will be dead long before you finish that.

All right, all right.

So I'm going to prove you wrong.

I don't think so.

So the race is on, Robot Man.

Swag, I have to say, I mean, I appreciate your optimism, you know?

As someone who, as a fellow optimist, I think it's really important that you, you know, you look forward to those things.

You want to make things better for yourself.

You got to find a little bit of the universe inside yourself.

You got to forgive yourself, you know?

I mean,

you look at yourself, right?

And you think, I'm overweight.

Nobody likes me.

You know, you gotta you gotta forgive yourself are you talking to Darth

you know what you don't think you think that but I know you think that

after doing that I love myself okay you know you tell yourself that man you know what guys I think things have gotten a little bit heated I mean we're we're talking to a mass murderer

So I mean it's bound to happen at some point.

Why don't we all just go get a blue Julius and just relax?

This is Strip Mall.

All right.

You know what?

I really like you guys.

I don't want you to go running away.

I'll buy.

How about I buy some Blue Julius?

I get a discount.

I know.

I know Tom next door.

Thank you.

Okay.

Hey, I'll take you up on that.

Can you do me a favor, though?

Can you just tell Tom that we're like really, really good friends?

Oh, God.

Okay.

Hello?

This is Rebel Leader Sisu Gundu with an important announcement.

A lot of life as a rebel is spent doing what I'm doing right now.

Huddling in a covert, waiting out a seemingly endless Alliance airstrike.

And how do we pass the time?

Well, we listen to one of our favorite podcasts with special guest Lauren Lapkus.

In this completely improvised comedy show, do you like audio shows where everything is made up?

Is that your thing?

Well, in this show, guest comedians invent a radio show on the spot.

And ow!

Oh, that one, that one hurt.

Hilarious comedian Lauren Lapkiss has no idea what character she'll be told to play.

It is so fun.

We barely even notice the perpetual aerial bombardments.

Episodes include guests like Nick Kroll, Kate Burlett, Bobby Moynihan, and other stars of hit comedies.

That's with special guest Lauren Lapkiss, L-A-P-K-U-S, on Apple, or wherever you get your podcast.

Long live the rebellion!

Well, yeah, you know what?

That was delightful.

I really feel like after Blue Julius, I feel great.

You can't go wrong with the Blue Julius.

Tom is a nice guy.

He's, I told you.

I told you.

It's good that he's gonna hang our picture in the store now.

That's nice.

Well, I drank the whole thing.

You did.

You did drink the whole thing.

I didn't know that was uncommon.

Am I going to feel, like, weird?

Not a lot of people do that.

I don't know.

We'll see how it goes.

You will probably feel weird later.

You're going to call Tom.

I just need to know that now.

Am I going to call him?

You're going to give him a call, because he's very, he's very delicate.

It's really none of your business.

Man, I hope you do.

When Tom hit on you, I thought that's interesting, because he's looking for a partner in life.

Oh, I can assure you, I will not be a life partner.

Am I

wrong in thinking I

keep bombing?

Oh, yeah, it's uh, it's by uh the specspace.

It's where I work and sleep, it's where I stay.

Uh, you guys, uh, you want to come check it out?

If you gotta go to work, I understand.

I mean, we'd hung out.

We're sort of at work, I think.

Sure?

Yeah.

What do you guys do?

Uh, we we don't work for the Federated Alliance, do you?

Don't be tell you right now.

Yeah, I wouldn't want one of those guys.

I got a lot of trouble.

I probably had a couple of wanted lists with that bunch.

Oh,

I think you're pretty knowledgeable.

Let me get my keys.

I'll unlock the workshop here.

Okay, here we go.

The inside of your apartment is much larger than it looks from the outside.

Yeah, it's bigger than the store.

Yes, I figured out a way to bend matter.

Oh, yeah, totally, yeah.

It's pretty big.

I don't actually know the square footage.

It keeps expanding on its own.

Yeah.

How did you do that?

Oh, man.

You know,

physics, quantum physics, that stuff just comes easy to me.

Let's keep uh here.

Uh, so you gotta kind of swim?

You swim?

Yeah.

Oh, yes.

Okay, yeah, just gotta kind of glide around.

Okay, I don't, you know, you're probably like, oh, where's the oxygen coming from?

I'm pumping oxygen into this place.

So don't, don't, we're gonna be okay on it.

You know what?

I leave the architecture to the architect, am I right?

Okay, alright, so yeah, so, yeah, if you swim, see that over there, that kind of star thing we're swimming towards?

That's that's a planet crusher.

Oh my gosh.

You're making another planet crusher?

Yeah, I got another planet crusher, yeah.

For what purpose?

Well, I was working on it the last time, you know, because one and two, kaboom.

Yep.

So that was like monarchy.

They just, you know, they had so much money, just a slushed fund of cash.

They were like, build a corrupt.

Yeah, very corrupt.

Yeah.

They were like, build another one.

They were like, we need another one.

Because, you know, it's like funding.

Even though corrupt, it's funding.

You know, it's like they get so much money.

If they don't spend that money, someone else takes that money and puts it towards something else.

So they were like, we got this budget.

So build another one.

And of course they were like, this time, get it right.

But

correct me if i'm wrong i believe i still see an exposed exhaust port on my planet crusher so you're talking about this thing we're entering in right now we're literally swimming through a massive vulnerability in this planet crusher it's bigger than the last two honestly the last one was big enough for a fighter you could land a ship in here

you got me This time I was like, you know what?

What happens if I make it bigger?

Because the last two have been smaller.

So this time, everyone was like, that can't be the way in, right?

That can't be.

So I made it bigger.

So, like, you're hoping that the first two planet crushers have set up some sort of like people will be looking for an extremely small hole, right?

And then we'll be surprised to see a very large hole.

So they'd probably be like, God, I can't be.

I'm going to go, they'll fly around.

I think that's a flawed logic.

You think so?

I don't know what to do.

You think so?

Can I ask you?

Can I ask you

who is.

Do you have a buyer for this?

Well, you know what?

I got it on

some message boards.

I'm looking.

Right now, I'm living in it.

All right, right now, I'm just using this as a crash pad.

I mean, we can go in.

You want to go, you know, I got like, it's, I got, you know, if you guys want to spend the night.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I just feel like, I just feel like if I were on a super weapon,

I don't know how I would, I would feel bad about myself.

I mean, hey, this doesn't have to be a super weapon.

This could be a super hotel.

Is it filled with all your shitty furniture?

You know what?

Okay, I know that you have so much self-hate inside, but okay, I'm not gonna take the bait.

I'm not taking the bait, okay?

You're not.

Guys, guys, guys, let's calm down.

I mean, can we both agree that the real evil is this enormous cube machine that is designed to eat planets?

Created by him.

That's not fair to the machine.

Oh, yeah, robot man.

Stick up for your kind.

You gotta do that.

You gotta do that.

I can't say the shrimp is inherently evil.

Yeah.

I mean, you, you know, we don't know each other.

I had a family.

I got kids.

Yes, I had a wife.

I got wife and kids.

Where are they?

I divorced me, of course, after the crash.

I know my kids don't speak to me.

I killed most of the friends.

Their friends got killed by the planet crusher.

No, yeah.

I mean, it was just, you know, part of the job.

My wife, you know, she was used to a really high standard of living once the divorce came.

I got that black death disease.

I got back into the heavy addiction.

You know, she just, she couldn't stay anymore.

She couldn't stay anymore.

You know?

I feel like the machine you need to be working on, Zwag,

is

the machine of the relationships in your life.

I thought that was a very beautiful metaphor.

I thought it was...

It didn't need.

I don't think I just needed anything.

Yeah, you kind of tripped down the steps on the last part there on that metaphor.

Yeah, well, I just didn't.

I mean...

I thought you were going to compare him to a machine.

No.

Okay, yeah, I'll try it again.

Okay, so Swag.

Yeah, yeah.

I feel like you've made all these machines.

I have, yeah.

I feel like what you really need to do is make a machine that will crush the planets of the people around you, but in a way that...

Is that worse?

That's worse.

I'm more confused.

You know, you're bringing up weird feelings.

I don't wanna...

you're making me want to go out and drink again.

Stop talking.

Have you thought about making a machine that will create life?

Oh, man.

Am I right to say this is a pocket universe, right?

This is a pocket universe, yeah.

Yeah, it's what's crazy is I got a planet growing too.

Yeah

for what what is that?

What does that mean?

No, it just naturally happens.

You create a universe and all of a sudden these kind of scientific collisions happen and then like a star slowly kind of burns out, becomes kind of a landmass.

From there, atmospheres kind of develop.

Like, yeah, I got a.

Yeah, yeah.

My last place, I had a whole colony of people.

Yeah, it's

tough.

What happened to them?

Oh, well, I sold it.

I sold it.

I sold it.

So,

just to clarify, you were a person who

created a weapon of mass destruction.

Two, two, two, two of them.

Three, if you count this one, I do count this one.

Are single-handedly responsible for the downfall of an entire empire.

Yeah.

Sort of on accident.

Yeah.

And you also sold a civilization of people as well.

Well, I sold it to a construction company that was building condos.

They demolished that.

So that universe probably collapsed under that construction.

So.

That's a shit.

Yeah.

You know, it was, you know, it was a time to sell.

I'll tell you right now.

The fact that you beat the Black Death Disease.

I mean, I gotta say,

I wish you hadn't.

Hey, man.

Hey, that's true.

No, no, no.

I think that is

pretty low.

I have to say, this is the first time I really, really like you.

That's pretty low.

I gotta be honest.

That's pretty low.

All right, I got you invited.

I mean, I was gonna, you know, I'm inviting you into my, this is basically my home right now.

Nermit, you will not believe who we just met.

Junior Missions Operations Manager, Nermit, by the way, I think you are going to be very proud.

Yes.

Zwag Tambui.

Arrest him now, please.

Creator of the hated planet crusher.

Cleck.

Well,

yes.

Can you please tell me, according to

Federated Alliance guidelines, how long do you have to report a criminal of this magnitude?

Oof, boy.

It's either it's four minutes.

Okay.

Shorter than I thought.

We're all literally guilty of treason for colluding with this character because we did not call in the clints immediately within the four-minute window.

I will mark this particular transmission low priority.

Please do that because if this is actually reviewed by anyone above me, we are all going to be literally lit on fire.

When you say literally you mean

literally like burnt up they'll they'll make barge into ingots what but why they'll melt you down

do you realize that because the keck attacked us i was literally bent over my superior's desk and spanked

literally

i mean literally i was

describe it pick me a picture nermi please well he invited me in and he said don't bother sitting down

uh music under this uh thing he said take down your trousers now take down your under under trousers.

I don't need to explain this to you.

I don't.

I got spoke.

That's ridiculous.

No, I.

He said,

he said, have you been a bad boy?

Yes, I've been a bad boy.

That's how it lands.

That's an official way they interrogate you after.

And the sick thing is, he knew I had been a bad boy.

I knew I'd been a bad boy.

He didn't have to ask me the question, even.

Well, he did, according to protocol.

In any case he hit me with me with the mallet on my buttocks 14 times that was the it was the number with the mallet listen i'm sorry to interrupt but can you get rid of all this sand oh oh no that was the couch we got what is all this sand i don't care what my rules bargie is right you need to eject any bit of sand that came from an object made by zwagtambui if there is a clint that scans that sand and sees that it had an origin source of a war criminal who created the planet crusher that's again, they're just gonna torch us.

Literally.

Literally.

Why?

Are you making fun of me?
