Welcome back to the only sci-fi podcast brave enough to take Scrubs seriously and turn The Prince of Egypt into corporate canon.

This week on The Economy of Nothing:

• Cheyenne becomes Bob Kelso.
• Captain Tracy walks like an overly sexy Moses.
• Mr. Green brands the ship and burns the kitchen down.
• Ryan tries to cook… metaphorically.
• Mike Allen gets cold medicine. And a trophy.

When a ceremonial dragon egg vanishes from the palace vault, our crew is dispatched to recover it — or at least look like they’re recovering it. Cheyenne's secret orders, Mr. Green’s weaponized laser pointer, and Captain Tracy's ongoing breakdown collide in the messiest mission yet. This one has everything: rebel camps, wizards with interns, jungle fires, and one very angry baby dragon.
