Episode 46: Space Tree Podcast

(Play Mr. Telephone Man by New Edition for this section.)

The opening theme shows a DJ and his female assistant and they smile wide and the title shows Space Tree Podcast. The song ends when the opening credits end.

Host: Welcome, space enthusiasts, to another episode of "The Space Tree Podcast," where we delve into the mysteries of the universe and the adventures that await beyond the stars. I'm your host, DJ Space Tree, and this is my lovely assistant Susan, and today we have a special treat for all the cosmic adventurers out there. Joining us today is Colonel Rawls, who is the captain of this space station.

Rawls enters.

Colonel Rawls: Thank you, DJ Space Tree. It's a pleasure to be here. I just got back from my honeymoon with my wife and it was amazing.

DJ Space Tree: Glad to hear that. Anyways, Captain, there have been rumors that you have been recently married. Is this true?

Colonel Rawls: Yeah. Charlene is my wife and we have a beautiful baby boy named Toby.

DJ Space Tree: Okay. Congrats on the marriage and your newborn son.

Colonel Rawls: Thank you. I'm gonna raise Toby to be a responsible young man.

DJ Space Tree: Good to hear. Anyways, we have some fans about to ask you some questions. QuadrarianGirl02 from Quadra asks "Have you ever left the Space Tree on several occasions?"

Colonel Rawls: Yeah. One time, my cadets got addicted to a milkshake called the Mississippi Queen, so I had to travel to Sweet Mountain to stop the ones responsible for this. It was Tenorman's army who caused it. That and I went on my honeymoon with my new wife.

DJ Space Tree: TheWimp97 from Fall Island asks "What missions do you send your cadets on?"

Colonel Rawls: It's classified.

DJ Space Tree: ILoveMyButterBear55 from Earth asks "Do you think Butters will be my future husband?" Wait what?

Colonel Rawls: Angela, I know it's you who sent that question!

In the barracks, Angela was listening to the podcast.

Angela: I wanna know if Butters will love me!

Butters: (From a different room) Not if you keep harassing me!

Angela: Just you all wait. Butters will be mine someday and I will marry him when we're adults!

Back in the podcast room...

Colonel Rawls: Any more questions?

DJ Space Tree: Well, you have one more and it's from DrillWisp42 from Planet Wisp. He asks "Will your cadets visit our planet again someday?"

Colonel Rawls: Yes. My cadets can visit any planet anytime. Except for when I send them on missions of course.

DJ Space Tree: Okay. Looks like we ran out of time for more questions. Now we're gonna go on a quick commercial break, and when we come back, we're gonna play a game called "How Often Do You Know Our Guest?" We'll be right back.

(Play What's Going On By Marvin Gaye for this short part and skip to 1:28.)

The commercial break is about to begin.

Announcer: The Space Tree Podcast is sponsored by Tegridy Farms. You can't have a life without Tegridy.

With Randy, who is in the barracks listening to the podcast.

Randy: Fuck yeah! My company is in the commercial!

Sharon: Has the Galaxy lost their minds?!

After the commercial break...

DJ Space Tree: Welcome back to "The Space Tree Podcast." Now it's time to play a game called "How Often Do You Know Our Guests?" Now to play the game.

(Play Hit The Road Jack by Ray Charles for this short part.)

The trivia shows 5 questions in order. The first one was "What is Rawls' favorite food?"

DJ Space Tree: First question: What is Rawls' favorite food? (The second one was "True or False: Rawls got married by Charlene.") Second question: Rawls got married by Charlene. True or False? (The third question was "What is Rawls' favorite TV show?") Third Question: What is Rawls' favorite TV show? (The fourth question was "Who is Colonel Rawls' favorite Earth celebrity?") Fourth Question: Who is Rawls' favorite TV show? (And the 5th and final question was "How does Rawls punish his cadets for disobeying him and doing bad things?") The lest question is... How does Rawls punish his cadets for disobeying him and doing bad things?

The song ends with the trivia screen disappears and cuts back to the podcast.

Colonel Rawls: That's an interesting selection of questions.

DJ Space Tree: Yup. Anyways, to all of you listeners out there, there will be a special prize for one of you if you manage go get all five of them correct.

In the barracks...

Bessie: Hmm...

Penny: What are the answers?

Millie (Mighty B): We've been here since last August, so I don't know.

With the South Park kids...

Butters: Well... We know the second one is true.

Pip: Maybe the fifth one is the push-ups.

Dougie: Yeah.

Angela enters and hugs Butters.

Angela: Oh Butterbear. I hope we get married like Rawls and Charlene.

Butters: Note to self: get a restraining order against Angela! (She hugs him tightly.) Angela, I don't want to marry you when we're older!

Angela: Well, too bad. We're getting married in the future, and I don't believe in divorce, so it's death to us part! Well, we'll have to wait until we're adults of course.

Butters screams in fear as Angela continues hugging him tightly. Damien laughs at this.

Damien: Have fun on the wedding!

Scott Malkinson gags at this.

Angela: Thanks Damien!

Back in the podcast room...

Susan: Time's up! DJ, let's read the answers.

DJ Space Tree: Okay. The answer to the first question is a cosmic pizza. The second answer is true. The answer to the third question is Star Trek. The answer to the fourth question is Chris Pratt.

Colonel Rawls: Loved his work in all three Guardians of the Galaxy movies and the Mario movie.

DJ Space Tree: And the answer to the last question is making them drop and give him several push-ups, and the person who won this game by getting all the answers correct is... (After a long silence) ...Lisa Loud from Earth.

(Play Mashed Potato Time by Dee Dee Sharp for this short part.)

Lisa celebrates in the barracks.

Lisa: Yes!

Lincoln: Congrats Lisa!

Luna: We're so proud of you!

Lisa: Thanks. I know what Rawls is into. He's into space related foods and movies.

She picks up the phone and calls the station.

Lana: Yeah. But I wonder if he visited Earth before.

DJ Space Tree: (From the radio) Lisa, your special reward is a one week trip to Wash World, and you get to take one person with you!

Lisa: Thanks. And I know the perfect person I'm gonna take.

Lynn: Please say it's one of us.

Lisa: I'm taking Darcy with me.

Darcy: Really? Thanks Lisa!

Lisa: You're welcome. Anything for my best friend.

Back in the podcast room...

DJ Space Tree: Congrats to our winner Lisa Loud. I hope she enjoys her special prize! Thanks for coming here Rawls.

Colonel Rawls: You're welcome. I'll see you later.

Rawls leaves.

DJ Space Tree: See you later. Anyways, it's time for... (Susan whispers in his ear.) Wait. We don't have anymore time left?

Susan: No.

DJ Space Tree: Okay. Looks like it's time to end the episode.

(Play Hello Mr. Postman by the Marvelettes for the rest of this chapter.)
