We're on a news diet here, and diet.
Speaker 4 (02:04):

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Well, let's get you guys over to the canteen.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Listen.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
Before I left Cuba, I heard that he acon will
be coming through the Gulf of Mexico. They call it Hurricane.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Taylor because it is swift. It has gotta go to six.
I didn't even know there was a category six.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
You.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
We'll be here in.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Forty eight hours.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Good luck, bitches. Look the trees cry out at warning.
We must prepare, prepare, to return to this stone age.
But I'd rather be here drinking my.
Speaker 6 (02:40):
Own piss down the bath water throw.
Speaker 7 (02:50):
Citizens of Renewal will be boarding up windows and stockpiling rations.
Let's welcome the impending disaster as a community building exercise.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Renewal all survive. That would be all now, then, Kiki,
please tell me your story.
Speaker 6 (03:05):
Okay, I was a psychotherapist in Havana by my husband.
Hector took my money, he bid me and stole my children.
Why would any mother do in such a situation. I
took my children back and set off for a new life.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
My God, Kiki, you're a feminist hero.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
I know, and therefore I believe that I should lead
the preparations for the Huracan tailor, which I have renamed
uracambyonce in the spirit of impending diversity.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
I applaud your correction. Just tell us what to do.
Speaker 6 (03:43):
Please tell your people to indulge my every whim.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
I will save us all. Okay, Talkyo, come with me.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
It's Kyoko Karen should I go ahead?
Speaker 7 (03:53):
Kyoko speaks for me, she speaks for all oppressed people.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
I do follow me.
Speaker 6 (04:01):
I made sure paper and Paper are normalist than anyone.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Tell them to go play on the roof.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
I think you are a riptoid, Chris. I'm gonna use
enhanced interrogation techniques to find out you're.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Going to torture her, but you're a noted linguist.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
I'm going to inject Chris with a tranquilizer.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
She said, Casper, get the fuck away from me. Casper,
you have to listen to me.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
I'm kay, No you're not.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
But how did you get untied?
Speaker 4 (04:35):
I was a wee below. Don't move, that's my gun.
How dare you silence servants of failure? You have no right,
but I do? Why because I am king?
Speaker 5 (04:52):
Kiki?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
What are you doing in my office?
Speaker 4 (04:54):
She broke in?
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Is that my vodka?
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Your water is contaminated.
Speaker 6 (04:59):
We must own drink forty five liquids.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
And your vodka is gone?
Speaker 5 (05:04):
Kiki?
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Where are you going to do?
Speaker 4 (05:09):
We're all going get out of my way.
Speaker 7 (05:16):
Kiki.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Come out of the store womb.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Think of your children and meet ahead of them.
Speaker 7 (05:22):
Eat.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Please come out of there.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
No stop yelling at her.
Speaker 7 (05:28):
She clearly feels silentd Kiki, please tell us what you
want us to know.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
Only I know about Beyonce.
Speaker 7 (05:38):
Everybody knows about Beyonce.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
She's a huge star. She will crush everyone in her back.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Those are just rumors. Dosney's child who's holding her back?
No kids? The hurricane has been renamed Beyonce.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Oh, don't move. I have the gun and I am king.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Oh you're not Claude.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
I'm no CALLI, but I can certainly use your help.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
He's flying Casper. Nobody can use my help.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
Claude, If you are Kay, what are you doing on
this island?
Speaker 4 (06:12):
This is where the reptoids will emerge?
Speaker 5 (06:14):
That's right?
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Does that proof, Casper?
Speaker 5 (06:17):
There's only one way to find out for sure. Drink
the shake Claw.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
No Ah, Yes, the shake of Joan.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
How did you know who?
Speaker 3 (06:24):
I've been monitoring you, and as a gesture of good faith,
I will give.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
You back your gun.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Oh, you've been a good soldier for the cause, Casper.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Oh, shut up, Claude. You're making me mad.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
You're all making me laugh.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
It's not fair.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Reality is rarely fair.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Woman of frowns, Woman of frowns. Hm, the shake is delicious,
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
I think I'll have some more myself. You know, you
kind of look like what I thought K might look like.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Stop it, Claude, don't look at him. He doesn't like it.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
Fine, you are okay, claud If you were Kay, how
would you stop the invasion?
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Well, actually, it might be better if I share my
plan once.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
Joan takes effect. That way we can trust each other.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
That makes sense.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Well, my shake should be working soon.
Speaker 9 (07:18):
CALLI.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
If you were Kay, how would you stop the invasion?
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Well, I would.
Speaker 7 (07:22):
Walk right up to those darned wizards, and I would,
and then I could would I be armed?
Speaker 10 (07:29):
This is perhaps a conversation for another time. Midwife of Grimaces.
Speaker 6 (07:32):
You could just change my name every two minutes.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Someone give me another tranquilizer.
Speaker 8 (07:37):
Please.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
Are you working on your plan, Claude?
Speaker 4 (07:41):
I am.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
I'd like to interview you privately in the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
That's inappropriate.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
Come this way, claud Yes, Casper.
Speaker 9 (07:57):
Damn, this wind is really whipping up. We'll be safe
in this cave for a while.
Speaker 8 (08:02):
How are you feeling, I'm still so tired with the
waterfall is beautiful, Kirk. I feel safe between the water
and you. Lena, Oh my goddess, what was that it
was Carl.
Speaker 9 (08:20):
I'd recognize that smell anywhere. He's somewhere in this cave.
Network keep quiet, hell, move on.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
Do you think there are cryptos on this island, Claude,
I wonder about Chris and Kelly.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Perhaps Joan will tell us more.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
Yeah, you know, I think I'm already feeling something. Oh yeah,
it's like you're shining, Emma. Yes, I see something in
your eyes.
Speaker 11 (09:06):
It's like a sunset, the sunset.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
Yeah, it's beautiful, but I wonder how long it's gonna last?
Do you ever get lonely? Clawed?
Speaker 4 (09:22):
I do?
Speaker 5 (09:25):
What have you lost?
Speaker 11 (09:27):
Are we trauma sharing?
Speaker 5 (09:29):
Now? Yeah? Kelly told me about it.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Well.
Speaker 11 (09:34):
I loved someone very much a long time ago. I
was told I couldn't love them, so I pushed them away.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
I hurt them.
Speaker 11 (09:47):
I'm alone now. It's an old story. Yeah, what have
you lost?
Speaker 5 (09:56):
Nothing? Because I never had anything and I don't eat anyone.
Speaker 11 (10:00):
Don't get lonely.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
I never used to, but since you all showed up,
I guess now I do.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Is that why you're kidnapping everybody?
Speaker 5 (10:12):
A little? But I really just want to know who's
K and I would like it to be you.
Speaker 11 (10:21):
Thank you, Casper the pharalh child? May I may I
kiss you?
Speaker 5 (10:34):
Okay? Whoa? Yeah? That really was? Can we do it again?
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Let's wait till uh John?
Speaker 5 (10:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
By the way, I've finished composing my next K drop
I was. I was hoping you would let me post
it to the faithful.
Speaker 10 (11:06):
Well, I would have to know that you're K first,
but I sure would like to hear it.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
All.
Speaker 11 (11:13):
Right, Here we go, friends of K Deep beneath the earth,
a great storm gathers. I k am writing to you
from an undisclosable location where I am convinced the reptoids
will launch their invasion.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
Do you mind if I play some music?
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Not at all.
Speaker 11 (11:35):
But meanwhile, your halls of power are infested with crypto reptoids,
a cabal which includes Biden, Trump, She Putin, and Marie Conda.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
Oh I know it.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
In fact, I have verified that a majority of our
Supreme Court justices are indeed cryptos, and probably one of
their spouses.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
These judicial mole rats have recently revoked long held rights.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Abortion was the first to go, but in coming days,
corporations will be granted the right to marry and adopt children.
In fact, all citizens will be forced into enter species
marriage in order to implement the reptoid's great replacement project
to establish a new slave class of hybrid offspring. I
call upon all pure bred humans to storm the Supreme Courthouse,
(12:21):
amputate the scaly thumbs on the scales of justice, where
lizard costumes to mock and confuse the enemy. Take selfies
with your webbed feet up on their reptoid desks.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
It's gonna be wild.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Every crypto must be eradicated from our great nation and
indeed the world.
Speaker 5 (12:39):
It's just what we've all been waiting for.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Once the government has been purified of crypto's, I will
call upon US forces to bomb this island and cauterize
the invasion at its source. If we work together, humanity
will prevail.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
My god, you are cape, of course I am, and
we don't have time to wait for Joan. You're right,
follow me, k.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Sir, Hi, what were you doing in the bathroom.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
I'm lifting the jamming caser. It's done. Your k drop
is posted, the die is cast.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
What do you mean?
Speaker 10 (13:17):
Claude is k and he's just ordered all cryptos and
the government be purged.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
Long live humanity.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Long live humanity. Thank you, Cusper. You will be remembered.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
You just started a civil war.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Well, yes we did a fuck load of racists are
gonna die racist.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
What do they have to do with it?
Speaker 4 (13:37):
You questioned me, Casper, you of all pete No, sir,
well I do.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
I don't think you're k at all.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
Well, now I'm confused about what to believe.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
I'll tell you what to believe.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
Girl.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
No, as you might have guessed from the length of
that pause, my name.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
Is Kay.

Speaker 5 (06:59):
Fine, you are okay, claud If you were Kay, how
would you stop the invasion?
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Well, actually, it might be better if I share my
plan once.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
Joan takes effect. That way we can trust each other.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
That makes sense.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Well, my shake should be working soon.
Speaker 9 (07:18):
CALLI.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
If you were Kay, how would you stop the invasion?
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Well, I would.
Speaker 7 (07:22):
Walk right up to those darned wizards, and I would,
and then I could would I be armed?
Speaker 10 (07:29):
This is perhaps a conversation for another time. Midwife of Grimaces.
Speaker 6 (07:32):
You could just change my name every two minutes.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Someone give me another tranquilizer.
Speaker 8 (07:37):
Please.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
Are you working on your plan, Claude?
Speaker 4 (07:41):
I am.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
I'd like to interview you privately in the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
That's inappropriate.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
Come this way, claud Yes, Casper.
Speaker 9 (07:57):
Damn, this wind is really whipping up. We'll be safe
in this cave for a while.
Speaker 8 (08:02):
How are you feeling, I'm still so tired with the
waterfall is beautiful, Kirk. I feel safe between the water
and you. Lena, Oh my goddess, what was that it
was Carl.
Speaker 9 (08:20):
I'd recognize that smell anywhere. He's somewhere in this cave.
Network keep quiet, hell, move on.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
Do you think there are cryptos on this island, Claude,
I wonder about Chris and Kelly.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Perhaps Joan will tell us more.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
Yeah, you know, I think I'm already feeling something. Oh yeah,
it's like you're shining, Emma. Yes, I see something in
your eyes.
Speaker 11 (09:06):
It's like a sunset, the sunset.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
Yeah, it's beautiful, but I wonder how long it's gonna last?
Do you ever get lonely? Clawed?
Speaker 4 (09:22):
I do?
Speaker 5 (09:25):
What have you lost?
Speaker 11 (09:27):
Are we trauma sharing?
Speaker 5 (09:29):
Now? Yeah? Kelly told me about it.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Well.
Speaker 11 (09:34):
I loved someone very much a long time ago. I
was told I couldn't love them, so I pushed them away.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
I hurt them.
Speaker 11 (09:47):
I'm alone now. It's an old story. Yeah, what have
you lost?
Speaker 5 (09:56):
Nothing? Because I never had anything and I don't eat anyone.
Speaker 11 (10:00):
Don't get lonely.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
I never used to, but since you all showed up,
I guess now I do.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Is that why you're kidnapping everybody?
Speaker 5 (10:12):
A little? But I really just want to know who's
K and I would like it to be you.
Speaker 11 (10:21):
Thank you, Casper the pharalh child? May I may I
kiss you?
Speaker 5 (10:34):
Okay? Whoa? Yeah? That really was? Can we do it again?
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Let's wait till uh John?
Speaker 5 (10:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
By the way, I've finished composing my next K drop
I was. I was hoping you would let me post
it to the faithful.
Speaker 10 (11:06):
Well, I would have to know that you're K first,
but I sure would like to hear it.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
All.
Speaker 11 (11:13):
Right, Here we go, friends of K Deep beneath the earth,
a great storm gathers. I k am writing to you
from an undisclosable location where I am convinced the reptoids
will launch their invasion.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
Do you mind if I play some music?
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Not at all.
Speaker 11 (11:35):
But meanwhile, your halls of power are infested with crypto reptoids,
a cabal which includes Biden, Trump, She Putin, and Marie Conda.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
Oh I know it.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
In fact, I have verified that a majority of our
Supreme Court justices are indeed cryptos, and probably one of
their spouses.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
These judicial mole rats have recently revoked long held rights.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Abortion was the first to go, but in coming days,
corporations will be granted the right to marry and adopt children.
In fact, all citizens will be forced into enter species
marriage in order to implement the reptoid's great replacement project
to establish a new slave class of hybrid offspring. I
call upon all pure bred humans to storm the Supreme Courthouse,
(12:21):
amputate the scaly thumbs on the scales of justice, where
lizard costumes to mock and confuse the enemy. Take selfies
with your webbed feet up on their reptoid desks.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
It's gonna be wild.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Every crypto must be eradicated from our great nation and
indeed the world.
Speaker 5 (12:39):
It's just what we've all been waiting for.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Once the government has been purified of crypto's, I will
call upon US forces to bomb this island and cauterize
the invasion at its source. If we work together, humanity
will prevail.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
My god, you are cape, of course I am, and
we don't have time to wait for Joan. You're right,
follow me, k.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Sir, Hi, what were you doing in the bathroom.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
I'm lifting the jamming caser. It's done. Your k drop
is posted, the die is cast.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
What do you mean?
Speaker 10 (13:17):
Claude is k and he's just ordered all cryptos and
the government be purged.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
Long live humanity.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Long live humanity. Thank you, Cusper. You will be remembered.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
You just started a civil war.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Well, yes we did a fuck load of racists are
gonna die racist.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
What do they have to do with it?
Speaker 4 (13:37):
You questioned me, Casper, you of all pete No, sir,
well I do.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
I don't think you're k at all.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
Well, now I'm confused about what to believe.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
I'll tell you what to believe.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
Girl.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
No, as you might have guessed from the length of
that pause, my name.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
Is Kay.
