Ain’t nothin’ ticking with that gear setup

You don’t understand, we updated to an atomic clock synchronized to a Stratum 0 Nuclear clock that is set with a Thorium-229 isomer. She doesn’t Tick anymore.

Sonny listen up because it doesn’t matter what generation you’re from if it has a pulse it Ticks and Thorium-229 oh she has a pulse alright.

The numbers are backwards. Is that part of the joke?
