YOUR MANOUSOS IS HERE!</b><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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!!<br /><br />Make sure you're subscribed in your favorite podcast player.

Hopefully it's not too bad for this one and the problem will be corrected by the equipment upgrade.]</i><br /><br />In the second part of this somewhat unloved episode, we catch up to Manousos. We follow him as he makes his way from Paraguay all the way to the Darien Gap!<br /><br />What's the Darien Gap? It's one of the most dangerous stretches of jungle anywhere in the world. It breaks up the Pan-American Highway right at the point where North America connects to South America. <br /><br />We're going to follow Manousos for a LONG time on his journey through South America. He's REALLY touring the Canary Islands, but we're supposed to THINK it's South America. We see him at the entrance to the Gap...and beyond. He makes his way through dense forest. Finally, he comes face to face with the dreaded Chunga Palm. Turns out, its spiny black needles can get you no matter how careful you are.<br /><br />After Manousos is air-lifted against his will, we make a major time jump. Carol has been alone and going a bit crazy for 36 days in Albuquerque. She's attempting to keep herself sane with a bit of Urban Golf. It's not working so well. When her fireworks display almost becomes suicidal, Carol makes a major decision.<br /><br />Make sure you're subscribed in your favorite podcast player.

It's the Verona Sky Villa at the otherwise uninhabited Westgate Hotel in the also unhinhabited Las Vegas, NV. <br /><br />Carol has sought out Mr. D. to tell him about this horror of cannibalism she's discovered in the hive. Too late! Diabate, and all of the other unjoined, are not only aware, they dont' seem to really care. John Cena...yes, THAT John Cena...steps in to explain via video. John's so good at it, who else would the hive get?<br /><br />Carol discovers she's an unjoined outcast. Khoumba doesn't want Carol hanging around to harsh his Vegas vibe. Carol delivers her message with her usual dose of happy sunshine. She then scarfs an avocado-egg-n-bacon sandwich and heads back to the ABQ.  <br /><br />Make sure you're subscribed in your favorite podcast player.

One of the other unjoined, the stylish ne'er do well Khoumba Diabate, has taken up residence at a palace in the sky. It's the Verona Sky Villa at the otherwise uninhabited Westgate Hotel in the also unhinhabited Las Vegas, NV. <br /><br />Carol has sought out Mr. D. to tell him about this horror of cannibalism she's discovered in the hive. Too late! Diabate, and all of the other unjoined, are not only aware, they dont' seem to really care. John Cena...yes, THAT John Cena...steps in to explain via video. John's so good at it, who else would the hive get?<br /><br />Carol discovers she's an unjoined outcast. Khoumba doesn't want Carol hanging around to harsh his Vegas vibe. Carol delivers her message with her usual dose of happy sunshine. She then scarfs an avocado-egg-n-bacon sandwich and heads back to the ABQ.  <br /><br />Make sure you're subscribed in your favorite podcast player.

WE'RE GOING TO FIND OUT WHY THEY CALLED IT, 'PLEASE, CAROL!"</b><br />Welcome back to the Ultimate breakdown of 'Plur1bus' Season One. After her talk with Larry, Carol is fairly certain the hive can't lie. She decides to help the difficult reveals along with a little Sodium Pentathol. You know...what the WW2 spies swore by as 'truth serum.' But first, Carol has to try it out on her self. The experiment is hilarious...and revealing. When Carol tries the same thing with Zosia, it doesn't go nearly as well. How bad is it? There are handcuffs and a defribrillator involved.  <br /><br />This is the SECOND part of the complete breakdown of the FOURTH episode of Season One: "Please, Carol." <br /><br />Make sure you're subscribed in your favorite podcast player.

WE'RE GOING TO FIND OUT WHY THEY CALLED IT, 'PLEASE, CAROL!"</b><br />Welcome back to the Ultimate breakdown of 'Plur1bus' Season One. After her talk with Larry, Carol is fairly certain the hive can't lie. She decides to help the difficult reveals along with a little Sodium Pentathol. You know...what the WW2 spies swore by as 'truth serum.' But first, Carol has to try it out on her self. The experiment is hilarious...and revealing. When Carol tries the same thing with Zosia, it doesn't go nearly as well. How bad is it? There are handcuffs and a defribrillator involved.  <br /><br />This is the SECOND part of the complete breakdown of the FOURTH episode of Season One: "Please, Carol." <br /><br />Make sure you're subscribed in your favorite podcast player.
