    Jet-Lagered at The Denver Airport

    Our favorite trio makes their way to the Denver Airport this week to embark on a wild spring break. Joeba "Ain't Afraid to Fly" Fett, Ripley "Demon of the Sky" Scott, and their quirky sidekick Zero dive into the enigmatic depths beneath Denver Airport, far beyond the ordinary airport hustle. Amidst their humorous banter and playful references to past escapades, the trio explores conspiracy theories and rumored interdimensional gateways, bringing a lighthearted touch to the mysteries that allegedly lie beneath the terminal. The episode is peppered with amusing segments, including a whimsical interview with the airport's gargoyle, and wraps up with their return through the stargate, jokingly reflecting on their otherworldly spring break adventure and hinting at more slurred, intergalactic journeys ahead.

    Let's Get (S)MASHED!

    Let's Get (S)MASHED!

    In this uproarious episode of Close Encounters of the Slurred Kind, Joeba and Ripley find themselves on the surface of a dizzying planet ripped straight from an episode of interdimensional cable. Spock wields a lightsaber, Indiana Jones brandishes a phaser, and things only get weirder as the zany antics continue! Amidst the madness, the duo embarks on a quest to snag quantum computing chips for Zero FRUX, but not before a little fun first. As they traverse through pop culture mashups and intergalactic oddities, the banter flows as freely as the space rum. From ad-libbing plot premises for portmanteaus like "Doctor Who's the Boss" and "Guardians of the Galaxy Quest" the laughs go on and on. So sit back and grab your favorite cocktail mixer as we get SMASHED together in The Anti-Matter Minute!
