And let's just say...

...it's a game changer.

You're the first guest I've had here...

...voluntary.

That's a shocker.

If Lady Lisa was real...

...she would have about 17

restraining orders out on you.

Actually, if things were real,

things would play out a little differently.

Want to know how I know that?

"If She Was Real." A book written

and illustrated by Ludlow Laminsoff.

Oh, boy.

You should sell it at

Barnes & Unstable.

- Do you want a copy?

- No.

I have eight others.

Why am I here right now?

Why did you try to roofie me?

Right.

Thank you for reminding me.

Okay.

Follow me.

Earlier today our base in Guam

was attacked by this guy, "Galaga".

How would you know that?

I have a pen pal in Guam.

His name is Baubau.

Baubau was terribly frightened.

So I hacked into the government servers

to assure him everything was okay.

But you know what?

Everything was not okay.

Ludlow! Did you get me some giant

root beer while you were out?

- You remember my grandma, she's ah...

- Sure.

Still a character after all these years.

No, no, Grandma! It's funny...

...I didn't get a chance too because...

What happened? Ah, I remember now.

I'M TRYING TO SAVE THE

WORLD FROM ANNIHILATION!

ARE YOU NUTS?

YOU CRACKER!

Don't yell at me!

So look, I know that sometimes people

think of me as bit of a conspiracy nut.

Right.

But sometimes,

Brenner, sometimes...

...the conspiracies are real.

Have you been playing

"Space Invaders" a lot?

I have.

How did you know that?

Because you invading my space.

Back up.

Brenner, do you remember

when we were children,

and played in that

video game championship?

Of course, buddy.

Do you remember how there was a tape of

the event and all the games we played...?

...That was then put into a capsule

and shot out to the universe...

...looking for extraterrestrial life?

I have reason to believe that some

alien life force found that tape...

...And have send down real life versions

of what they saw...

...to attack us.

I spent a day on 4chan...

...searching for messages from the aliens

to prove my theory.

- And you want to know something?

- Tell me.

I came up absolutely empty.

So then as a distraction me,

I got up...

...and tried to watch an episode of "One

Tree Hill" I recorded on my VCR last night.

I've been binge watching to catch up.

You didn't have cable because...?

Because the government spies on us

through our cable boxes, Brenner.

That's been proven.

And you didn't want them to see you

dancing around for Lady Lisa? I get it.

No that tape was burned

3 months ago. Anyway.

In the middle of the UHF broadcast...

...Something peculiar interrupted

Sophia Bush's sexy shenanigans.
