| 1 | The gang discuss A Message from Earth, whose article seems to have since been deleted and merged with that of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gliese_581c#A_Message_from_Earth Gliese 581c ]]. [[Franchise/FlashGordon Ming the Merciless]] makes another appearance. |

| 4 | !!Tropes: |
| 5 | * DiggingYourselfDeeper: Why does Gary know how Tinder works, despite being married? [[OccamsRazor Because he lives in the same world as you and he reads newspapers]]. Matt and Chris then point out that ''they'' don't know how Tinder works, leaving him floundering. |
| 6 | -->'''Gary:''' This is one of these things where you try and defend yourself and it just sounds worse, doesn't it? |
| 7 | -->'''Chris:''' Stop digging, old boy. |
| 8 | * FluffyTheTerrible: discussed. Gary claims that you'd have a very different reaction to learning that Earth was being invaded by the Glee People rather than The Third Warfleet of the K'Flaarghs. |
| 9 | * ForInconveniencePressOne: Gary suggests the message from Earth might have been this. |
| 10 | -->'''Chris:''' "If you are a hostile alien species, please press 2 to be reacted to with nuclear missiles." |
| 11 | * InMyLanguageThatSoundsLike: A possible explanation for why an invading alien force would be called something seemingly innocuous: |
| 12 | -->"We are the Glee People!" |
| 13 | -->"Ah, that's nice." |
| 14 | -->"In our world, this is bad!" |
| 15 | * TheInternetIsForPorn: On hearing that 501 messages from the internet were transmitted into space, Gary assumes the contents must have been "Porn, porn, porn, [[TheInternetIsForCats kittens]], 'Good afternoon Sir/Madam, [[GetRichQuickScheme I have a fantastic opportunity for you...]]'" |
| 16 | * ShoutOut: To Franchise/StarWars: |
| 17 | -->'''Gary:''' "Please note that Earth is only open between 9 and 5." |
| 18 | -->'''Chris:''' "Nine to five what? I have been travelling for parsecs!" |
| 19 | -->'''Tom:''' Obscure Star Wars reference! Nice. |
