Hello, Carol: The Ultimate 'Plur1bus' Podcast

INTRODUCING 'OUT TO CLEAN: THE ULTIMATE SILO PODCAST'
Hey there fans of the 'ultimate' podcast format! It's Allen and I've got some exciting news. I'm introducing a brand new 'ultimate' podcast covering the first three seasons of the AppleTV series SILO.

SILO has been the most requested series for me to do as an 'ultimate' title. I wasn't ready to take it on until I saw the incredible Season 3. I'm really hooked! To the point I'm ready to go 'ultimate'!! 

"Out to Clean: The Ultimate SILO Podcast" premieres on Thursday, Nov. 5th. Make sure to subscribe right here and be ready to go 'down deep' starting 11/5.

"LA CHICA O EL MUNDO" - PT02 - TIME TO BREAK A FEW EGGS...
Oh, my goodness, individuals and weirdos!! This is IT! The final episode of the Ultimate Breakdown of "Plur1bus." More than five months and over 20 hours of discussion about the nine hours of Season One of "Plur1bus."

We get back into it with Carol passed out on the couch. While she was drinking and watching Golden Girls, Manousos was busy across the cul-de-sac! He invited Zosia over so she could tell him TODO! Carol didn't like it, pulled her back home, and Manousos dialed zero for "another one." He is up to some serious experimentation on the hive and he's not afraid to kill a few milliion hive minders as he's doing it. 

Manousos' scary experiment spurred another exodus. The hive is once again leaving the ABQ. This time, Carol Sturka is going with it. She's chasing happiness in the form of Zosia. She finds it...for a few days, at least. Over hot cider at Big Sky, Carol finds out how the hive has been working to deceive her. The little bastards have her eggs! The ones she froze with Helen! They are going to manufacture stem cells from her blood. It's a sensitive process, so it could take anywhere from one to three months...maybe longer. 

Rather than sit back and wait for the hive to show up with her specially made joining-juice, Carol decides to fight back. She has an A-Bomb delivered to her driveway. No idea what she plans to do with it...and THAT is the end of the season!!

"LA CHICA O EL MUNDO" - PT01 - OH, CAROL! YOUR MANOUSOS IS HERE!
Before we do anything, do you remember the Peruvian girl from the second episode? Her name was Kusimayu. She's from Peru and was really bummed she did NOT become a member of the hive. In the open of this episode, her bespoke virus is ready. We jump ahead a few days to see it arrive in her village. She takes a whiff, shakes a bit, and voila, she is in the hive. Once she's joined, the members of her village abandon the place. She even lets the goats and livestock go.

Over in the ABQ around eleven days earlier, Manousos is about to arrive. Carol and Zosia are tracking his progress from an overhead shot on Carol's TV.

He arrives...things are tense...they talk out in the field...then Carol decides she's tired. It's more than that...it's ALWAYS more than that, isn't it?? But that gets you started before you hit 'play' on Part One of the SEASON FINALE of Pluribus!!

"CHARM OFFENSIVE" - PT02 - REALITY DATING AT ITS FINEST!!
Carol and Zosia continue their whirlwind romance around the ABQ. We're off to play some croquet...or how about a couple's massage...maybe even a night of stargazing?? Reality TV show producers could not come up with more unique or TV-friendly activities if they tried. The hive has even recreated the diner where Carol wrote her first Wycaro title. That's quite a feat considering it burned down maybe 20 years ago. They were also able to find the original waitress who had made Carol feel so welcome as she was chugging free coffee and scratching things out on legal pads.

There's even a super-steamy, wow-they-finally-did-it kiss!! Stursia is happening. Zosia shares some childhood memories that are decidedly 'pre-Hive'.

And, of course, we check in with Manousos as he continues to make his way to the ABQ. It's all coming together for the big Finale in the next episode.

"CHARM OFFENSIVE" - PT01 - THE GANG IS BACK IN THE ABQ!!
After a biblical stint of 36 days alone in the desert, Carol gave up and gave in. She painted a huge "come back" in the middle of the cul-de-sac. Within minutes, she was clutching Zosia in a tearful embrace. Jets are streaming through the sky towards the Sunport. All will be back to a hive mind level of normal in just a couple of hours. 

Carol isn't sure how to act around people. She mixes up some room temperature pink Lemonade and tries to make small talk about fine art and wild animals. She is nervous and tongue-tied but obviously relieved to be around people, even if they are weirdos. Zosia...and the hive...is just glad to be back with Carol. 

We're going to tour the hive mind's sleeping quarters and hike the mountains out around town. It's like if a first date were organized by a Reality TV dating show. 

We're also going to check in on Manousos. What happened to him after being extricated from the Darien Gap? We'll catch up with him in Panama. He made it through the gap!! He's a bit worse for wear...but he manages to nab himself an ambulance for the northern leg of his trip to New Mexico.
