The comedy highlight came with Gordo’s Clyde Clockin character, an alien expert from the fictional “Clyde Warren University” who claimed the viral ring doorbell footage showed authentic alien activity. The bit combined conspiracy theory parody with local sports references, as Clyde insisted that various celebrities including Mavericks coach Jason Kidd were actually aliens studying human behavior.

Funny moments or memorable Gordo bits:
- [00:07:16] Gordo’s apparent non-sequitur comment about taking “a dump at his house” during the xylophone story
- [00:08:05-00:08:29] The absurd image of Junior locked in a tug-of-war with a three-year-old over a xylophone stick, with Junior apparently losing due to the child’s “astonishingly tight” grip
- [00:10:11-00:10:38] Extended bit about an alien getting kicked out of its spacecraft by fellow aliens and having to walk home with an emergency blanket
How the show wrapped up:
- [00:13:34-00:13:51] The show concluded with discussion about public gullibility, with the hosts speculating that a nationwide poll would show 70% or more of people believing the Ring camera footage shows a real alien, with one host suggesting it would be “99-1 alien” due to superstition being “on a bull run” in the information age
Notable quotes:
- [00:09:51] “Gosh, I wish we had had video of junior tug of war with the stick”
- [00:12:11] “I’m not calling the police on an alien”
- [00:13:47-00:13:51] “It’d be 99 one alien in the information age. We have superstition has been on a bull run”
This final portion of The Musers showcased the show’s typical blend of personal parenting stories and pop culture mysteries. The “Jerk Kids” segment featured a relatable tale of playground politics gone wrong, complete with the absurd visual of a grown man wrestling with a toddler over a toy. The discussion touched on the challenges of protective parenting and when to intervene versus letting children solve their own problems.
The “Alien Talk” segment demonstrated the hosts’ analytical approach to viral content, examining a Ring doorbell video that allegedly captured extraterrestrial activity. While initially intrigued by the footage, the hosts methodically worked through logical explanations involving camera distortion, compression artifacts, and the power of suggestion. The technical expert’s explanation about night vision mode and image processing provided a rational counterpoint to the sensational claims.
The show wrapped with a somewhat pessimistic view of public critical thinking, suggesting that despite readily available explanations for the mysterious footage, most Americans would still choose to believe in the alien interpretation. This commentary on “superstition being on a bull run” served as both entertainment and social observation, typical of The Musers’ approach to balancing humor with occasional deeper insights about contemporary culture and media consumption.
