How are you? Good to see you.

You guys want red wine?

Yes. I would love red wine.

- Lee?

- I've been cooking. I've been cooking.

- How have you been?

- I've been good. I've been really good.

- You?

- I've been great.

Yeah. Life is looking very different

from how it was a while back.

- In a good way, so...

- Well, cool. That's good to hear.

- I would hope so. There you go.

- Thank you.

Not A, C, E.

"Horace, listen.

I'll be down at the pyramid.

Come on down and join.

We gotta talk about

some deity stuff."

Does everyone else

still not have service?

My phone is completely broken.

I'm living in the moment, but...

- Nothing.

- I got zero.

That's weird.

Maybe the tower's down.

The tower's down?

I'm telling you guys...

- It's not down.

- That would be a big news story.

Comet. Comet.

- Miller's Comet.

- Yes. Thank you.

I read something this morning

about a comet in the 1930s.

It was in Finland.

- Knocked out all of the...

- I actually...

the cell towers?

Actually, it was in 1923.

And, yes, it was in Finland.

- Um...

- Thank you, Wikipedia.

It was actually crazy,

because it affected the people.

After it passed,

they would get lost.

They would end up in the wrong home.

They would forget things.

They wouldn't really

know where they were.

And I remember reading

about this one woman...

who called the police and said,

"The man in my house

is not my husband."

And then police came over...

and they said,

"This is your husband,"

And she said, "No. This

is not my husband.

- I killed my husband yesterday.

- Awesome.

That's how I know it's not him."

But they couldn't arrest her,

because he was standing...

right there in front in them.

Do they have any theories of why?

Think how lucky she is.

She gets to kill him again.

Clearly she wants to kill this man.

- It's just the Finnish.

- The Finns.

The Finns or Finnish?

- You guys remember Halley's Comet?

- Yes.

I mean, it was such a big deal.

I remember at my school, we all had

to, like, reenact Halley's Comet.

So, they assigned each of us

something celestial to do.

My sister got to be Halley's Comet.

I was very jealous.

I've never met your sister.

Have you guys met her sister?

There's a picture of her right

over there on the mantel, but...

- She's only a fleeting comet.

- she looks a little ridiculous.

- That's your sister?

- But why did you put it...

It's the door to nowhere.

In feng shui, a useless door,

which this is obviously

a useless door,

you put a picture of someone...

you have unresolved issues with...

and it causes all of

this weird energy flow.

I don't even like being over here.

- It's freaky.
