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!
