Commentary Transcript

(Commentary by: Dennis Dunjinman, Tampo, Trevor)

DENNIS: Welcome to our 24th e-mail, "security". I'm Dennis, and here is the Josh-man himself.

TAMPO: Uhh... isn't Joshua supposed to be here? Wait a sec... where am I?

DENNIS: Whoa! Tampo's in the booth! So Tampo, how's life? Whaling on Stinkoman? Outrunning the Death Seed Pla- uh, oops. So, Stlunko thinks your SuperCom will be okay, even after the virus, because your Chorch was fixing it. Another reason to upgrade on your security, because before, you thought he was breaking it.

TAMPO: Uh... ooh- "security". Well yeah, I don't exactly believe that, but... we were pretty naive at this point.

DENNIS: Heh heh. I don't think Mojo Jojo would have you executed. He's an incompetent villian, unlike the Boss trio reloaded.

TAMPO: Yeah, I mean, I've seen him once... it- I didn't enjoy the show. Now, this email, when I publicized it... It's the only email for me to have gotten no fan feedback on since "ten emails". Even with that best and worst survey I did.

DENNIS: Ooh. Thought-scanning. I wonder how you do that. Maybe you can read thoughts and intelligence or memories with that kind of technology, but how exactly does it work in robots and humanoid chickens?

TAMPO: Oh, it's simple. To Stlunko. I think he says it interprets the electrical signals that... "brains" create. Altough I'm too complex for it. Little minions however have much simpler minds.

DENNIS: And now we get a look at Sidekick Bob. You know, he's a pretty trustworthy friend, seeing as he saved his friend in need, even if it was The Trickster.

TAMPO: Yeah, he seems pretty loyal. It's a pity that he got into the wrong crowd.

DENNIS: Still, what happens if the brain chip runs out of energy? Isn't it running on Sidekick Bob's power, or can it reactivate?

TAMPO: I'm going to sound like Stlunko here, but... the only reason I know this is because Stlunko lectured me on it. Because he has a brain chip and he wants someone to know what to do in case he has a eject. Anyhoo... brain chips, when seperated from a power source for too long will eventually lose their electric charge. Once they lose their charge, they'll shut down and all memory and data like that will be lost. They'll crash. They can reboot, but it'll be a new robot.

DENNIS: To save his friend, he has to skive off your speech. Of course he was scanned, but how did Stlunko's scanners miss The Trickster's chip? I thought he was mostly infallible, until he gets his guard down. Note to Stlunko, never let guard down.

TAMPO: I'm guessing its electrical signal was too weak, because it wasn't fully charged in a body. It was... dangerously low. Too low.

DENNIS: For one thing, this Jaro was eerily right about a weapon, but hey, if he gets to skive, why can't the others? By the way, is your entire army male or have male-bot models?

TAMPO: Huh? Scythe? And as far as I know... our robot army is male. Now Stlunko was a super-scanning machine in this email.

DENNIS: Oh. You can see here how The Trickster got his name. But, that's an apt name, because he's always pulling tricks on you. Yun-Harla must be proud.

TAMPO: Err... yeah... of course what's-his-name is proud...

TREVOR: Hey, guys. Uh... am I in the wrong room?

TAMPO: Yes.

DENNIS: Hi Trevor. What's up? Were just talking about this Tampo e-mail, "security". You know, Tampo, do you think this really solves a mystery of how the Boss Trio Reloaded started, or did you already know this?

TAMPO: Well... it doesn't really solve the mystery... but it does show its origins. I guess. Here I am explaining what just happened. Now at the time, that little noisy minion... he was very annoying. He shouldn't have let him go. It would have... killed the Trickster before he became a threat.

TREVOR: Yeah, uh, I haven't seen this email yet.

DENNIS: So, while that new greggo is hatching conspiracies, let's talk about now. So, what plans will there be for Season 5 of Tampo E-mails?

TAMPO: Err... I haven't really gotten that far. Uh, it'll be great. Yeah... great.

DENNIS: As long as it's full of death threats... Wow. He might as well have BEEN the Greggonator, especially since he's now a greggo.

TAMPO: You like me getting death threats? Meanie...

TREVOR: Doesn't the Trickster become the a Greggo here? If the Gregginator's a Greggo... I think the Trickster became one a little too late. I mean, think about it...

DENNIS: This looks like a case of mistaken theft of identidy!

TREVOR: Or a case of too much speculating!

DENNIS: Out of all 31 traitors, we have only one chicken. Probably because Cohrch Commander decided to talk with his clique, and then expanded. I wonder what started those thoughts, anyway.

TAMPO: I don't know. They're learning machines; some of them, anyway. I guess if their programming gets too advanced, there's always a small chance of...

DENNIS: Mutiny? In space? That sounds like a name of a Choose Your Own Adventure book.

TREVOR: I think I read a book called Mutiny in Space. Or something like that.

TAMPO: Hey, look! It's back to me! Uh... a few hours later, apparently.
