Hello, listener. And welcome to Q&A 3. The year is 6057. All is death.

And then we have a guy, Alex, Alex, Alex and Johnny. Johnny stays in a dark and bitter future of only Q&As in the future.

There are only questions and Johnny has all the answers. Hello, hello. Are you ready for some more Q&As, Johnny?

entertainment and an exploratory sort of sense. Like I think the later series are a lot more
