23 AUG 2017 · Episode 9 begins on Earth with the anticipation of the arrival of the return of our diplomatic space travelers. While we wait, we, once again, hear from YMI News anchor, Merf Derkson as he interviews representatives from NASA (Dr. Star Burstling), the founder of new social network system called “Faceyouspace” (Buffy Lighthead) and the representative from the UN (Ambassador Isha Shami) with the addition of a representative from Quirdmut known as “Yrag”. An upsetting exchange between Yrag and the UN Ambassador ends up with the Ambassador having a total breakdown necessitating his removal. (In other words… it got a little ugly!) No matter! The ship arrives home and all parties disembark happy, healthy and no longer glowing. It appears that, after all they’ve been through, Justin and Snood may have formed a lasting friendship as they go “off duty” in the direction of a local pub to have a beer. The whole thing ends surprisingly well, but not before a word from our sponsor. Who knows where this whole thing will take us next… But, I know I’m willing to find out. How about you?

22 AUG 2017 · Well, time for a little something different ... in Episode 8 we open with a lovely little musical interlude and Benjamin Wickerdents returns to update us in his own way. The journey home has begun, and yet, there's more to be told. Everyone seems a little bit worse for wear and yet, it's one small step for mankind, one giant problem for mankind's digestive systems.

21 AUG 2017 · We now find ourselves back on our space ship to begin our journey back to Earth. Of course, Chase and Lilac are completely hung over after the previous evening’s festivities (Not that they actually remember anything about it). In the meantime, Senator Manley has quickly found his way back to the Oval Office and reclaimed the seat at the Presidential desk where he proclaims that he’s thinking of running for the office when he returns home. Suddenly, Senator Lotte makes the observation that the engines have stopped running and panic ensues. But, not to worry! Snood to the rescue! Snood manages to calm them all down by explaining that the problem is a minor one and will be repaired very shortly. (Can you get a flat tire in space?) Suddenly somebody yells, “Lunch!” and they all quickly forget the mechanical problems in lieu of their empty stomachs.

20 AUG 2017 · Turns out Senator Lotte is a real “Groupie type” and it just so happens the performance this evening is by an intergalactic star. After enjoying a little too much of the available “intoxicants”, with the help of Snood Mona takes off back stage to get an autograph and somehow manages to get involved with one of the musicians. (She never could resist a guitar player. Did I say guitar player? Oh well… close enough.) In the meantime, Senator Manley takes to the dance floor with the same ship’s crew member that he got involved with on the first day of our journey and who knows where this is going? The evening is brought to a close with the chaos of a backstage brawl necessitating the intervention of Justin and Snood. (Oh boy!) Good thing Snood thought ahead and saw to it that Chase and Lilac were served a rather “special” brew that, as luck would have it, manages to cause temporary loss of memory. (Clever Snood.)

19 AUG 2017 · In this brief episode, we go on a tour with Chase and Lilac and learn about some strange food sources on Quirdmut. We also find out more about the product they call “Gunk”. They are overrun with the stuff and would really like us to take it off their hands. Turns out it’s something we could really use… Oil! (Who knew!) OPEC is not happy! On another note… we find out that our delegation is going to spend their evening at a Quirdmutian version of what we call a “nightclub”. (I’ve got a bad feeling about this.)

18 AUG 2017 · It was bound to happen. Chase and Lilac finally corner our two Senators in the Oval Office for their first interview of the journey. When Senator Lotte is questioned about her assignment to establish trade relations, she becomes so caught up in the moment and faints flat out on the floor. Senator Manley, on the other hand, goes into a little too much detail about his assignment to handle intergalactic monetary exchanges and figuring out how to impose taxes on everything and, of course, once again sticks his foot in it. His only solution is to try to appear concerned for his fellow Senator who lays unconscious on the floor. This just keeps getting better and better. Maybe these two weren’t the best choices to represent our planet. But, it’s too late now! We just landed on Quirdmut!

17 AUG 2017 · These Quirdmutians really did their homework. In our last episode we found out that, in an effort to provide accommodations that feel comfortable and familiar, they fashioned their “Gathering Room” to look like the Oval Office in the White House and now we find that their dining room is an exact replica of a five star restaurant in Washington D.C. Our two Senators are beyond delighted. Speaking of the Senators, things begin to unravel as Senator Manley has a rather unsettling experience with one of the ship’s crew (Ewwww!). In his upset state he manages to slip and admit things in earshot of our YMI News team about his conduct in the Senate. While Senator Manley tries to back pedal, Senator Lotte reveals her massive tendencies toward hypochondria. It is now painfully obvious that Justin Thyme may have his hands full with these two. Oh well!... Chocolate cake anyone?

16 AUG 2017 · How Amazing!!! The speed of their advanced propulsion system has already taken the space ship out of range of any visibility of Earth in a matter of minutes, a fact that does not escape our crack reporters, Chase Storyman and Lilac Hellowitz of YMI News. Right off the bat we meet our host, a very friendly Quirtmutian by the name of “Snood” and friendly relationships are formed. Snood gathers our reporters along with Senators Les Manley and Mona Lotte, as well as White House emissary, Justin Thyme in the “Gathering Room”. Did I say “Gathering Room”? How about a complete reproduction of the Oval Office? You heard me… The OVAL OFFICE! These ETs really aim to please. Of course, Senator Manley about has a stroke and rushes to be the first to sit behind “the desk”. (Lots of luck getting him to give it up). However, sooner or later… Everybody’s gotta eat.

15 AUG 2017 · Hey everyone, we're so very excited to finally get out to you, the first in a series of 9 episodes where those pesky senators, Les Manley and Mona Lotte, travel with our oh so reputable media representatives, Chase Storyman and Lilac Hellowitz, to the planet Quirdmut for our planet's first diplomatic mission. In this episode, we are introduced to the story by narrator, Benjamin Wickerdents, an amusingly delightful character that you will see again soon in his own show. We meet our media who are doing their usual talking heads reporting of whatever they can think of while the space ship is getting ready to take off. The original story, Friends in High Places, was written as a stage play and has been highly popular. In Friends in High Places, aliens land on The Mall in Washington DC and meet our ... not so honest President who has bankrupted the country and is looking for a way out before the country finds out the truth. As it would happen, the aliens have some "waste" products from their society that they need to get rid of, that here on Earth, are very profitable commodities such as the Platinum the spaceship leaves all of Washington DC dusted with from its operations to the "goo" byproduct we here on Earth know as ... oil. To make matters even more interesting, our new alien friends have some customs that to us are a bit ... well ... embarrassing, but totally normal to them and in the end, good wins out with a new and honest President and a great relationship with our first alien species. It's a fun ride. After the play ends, The Quirdmut Report picks up where our media and senators now get to travel to the Planet Quirdmut (home of the aliens) The Quirdmut Report is a "Theatre in the Dark" presentation by TLC Scripts (J&G Unlimited). It is a "spin-off" from the highly popular play, "Friends In High Places." To learn more about these works, please visit us online at http://www.TLCScripts.com.
