The year is 1987, and NASA launches the last of America's deep space probes.

In a freak mishap, Ranger 3 and its pilot, Captain William Buck Rogers, are blown out of their trajectory into an orbit which freezes his life support systems,

and returns Buck Rogers to Earth 500 years later.

All right ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Catcast Episode 393. I am your host, GBD here in New York, New York, in a bathroom once again,

and of course as always we are joined by a man who most definitely comes with a power cord, Wombat.

That's so true. That was your nickname in college. That was, they called me PowerCore.

Not Wombat, that wasn't my nickname in college. PowerCore is actually a pretty good nickname. That is a good nickname. I wish I could have thought of that when I was in college.

And then I said, don't call me Wombat, call me PowerCore. Ship right, did you have a nickname in college?

I once wore a power cord as a belt one day in college. Why?

I didn't have, I couldn't find my belt.

And that was exactly what you thought?

Yeah, it was in college, it's fine. I had a...

Hilt Billy University, is that where he went?

I went to school in the south.

But yeah, I had an orange extension cable.

And I figured out that if I wrapped around my waist twice, it plugged into itself.

So it's a belt.

You know, I can see a Kickstarter in the future for a belt that turns into an extension cord.

People would buy it, I think it could do pretty well. Wombat, get on that. Forget about your Patreon. Get that going.

Okay, I'll get that started right after I start my Patreon.

No, no, no, before I think.

Okay, I'll start that first. Got it.
