Yeah, he's in like a really good moon, and Kirk is like, cut that shit out. There's clearly something wrong with him. He's acting happy to be here. Because now he's part of like the hive mind on the planet. It's very borgesque. Exactly. You're right. Wait a minute.

He would have badmouthed me by now. And it's a, so we beam down on a way team, which is Kirk, Spock, Bones, and three or two to three other guys. Two or three other Irish guys. Yeah. We'll meet potato motherfuckers. And they're going, they dress as the style of the time in these old westy kind of suits. Except for Spock, who's dressed like fucking little John. He's got this like fucking hood on.

I think to hide his ears. Well, yeah, but like, get a fucking top hat. Well, so these other people, these enforcers have robes. So I guess he's trying to look at that part. That's pretty good. Yeah, give me one of those robes. I'll be a big, big swinging dick motherfucker on the planet. I'll impersonating a police officer.

A bit of Star Trek trivia. I was totally nude under that robe. Speaking of swinging dicks. Don't you know, Jim, I'm a wizard. That's where you got the idea for those photographers, those nude photography. Oh, that's right. His nude photography.

But that's actually a really good point, though. He doesn't know what the robe. signifies yet he wears it oh fuck I dress like the villain so all these people are coming up to them like oh are you here for the festival are you here for the festival some real fucking uh wicker man shit

yeah if you ask me yes we're here for the festival the red hour dude this is awesome it's just the purge it's a fucking great because also like they're asking this person like oh we're here for you know they say that they're there for the festival we need like rooms for the night or whatever Because they're, quote, in from the valley.

I see the clock says 11.30. And they're like, well, you better hurry. It's almost the red hour. And then by the time they're done talking to this guy, it's noon. That's what it's like in small towns, man. People just talk your fucking ear up for literally hours. Has it been 30 minutes? Yeah, 30 minutes talking about the festival,

yet they don't know anything about it when it begins, which I guess the festival is this purge hour. It's just the purge. It hits the red hour, which I read on the Tribune trivia for this episode. Do you see this shit? Oh, it's unresolved that don't really actually talk about it for the rest of the episode?

Yeah, that's true. Maybe, but that's not trivia. That's common. It's the plot. Ben Stiller named his production company Red Hour after this episode. Oh, that's cool. Because he flips the fuck out all that?

I don't know. Maybe he's just a fan of this app. Maybe he's a huge trekner. I think he is, actually. On the Ben Stiller show, he would do, but I think he did a bad shat. Or a better shatner than me for sure. Oh, yeah.

Fuck, you know what? Well, thank you. Thank you, Ben, for becoming a patron because every big Star Trek fan listens to this episode. So all these people turn on a dime. They're like, oh, the Red Hour is upon us. The festival has begun, and they start breaking windows

and fucking fighting and fucking and farting all over town. Holding their hair out.
