Michael: Hey-oh! Time to go nuts, 'cause I brought donuts... Huh, no one's here. Shoot. That was gonna be a big laugh.
Judge: Hey, sweetie. Did you not get the message?
Michael: No. Why, was the meeting cancelled?
Judge: Uh, yeah. Forever. We dissolved the council.
Michael: What?
Judge: We don't need it anymore. Your system's working perfectly. Millions of humans passing their tests, you know. Oh, Vicky's really killing it on the training, so it's all good.
Michael: Well... [stutters] All right, well... Hang on, now. Look, how are we even sure that this is the right system? I mean, honestly, I think Shawn was right. This whole thing sucks and we should start from scratch.
Judge: Relax, worrywart. Take a load off. Huh? Enjoy yourself. You know what I just discovered recently? Podcasts. There's, like, a billion of them and they just keep coming.
Michael: Hmm.
Judge: Now scoot. I got a new Radiolab to listen to about how clams learn. [both chuckle] Pretty excited.
