Just an epileptic tree here (and if this is clear from "Family Slays Together", I apologize - I haven't watched it yet):
ORB is BRO spelled backwards - as in Venture BRO. In fact, if you look at the entire message with the letters 22 12 20 underlined (as Mike has done in the capsule), you see that it directly spells BRO. (Why does Doc Venture reverse BRO to assume he's looking for an ORB?)
It's not like there's a lack of letters in the code to select from. There are three B's, three R's, and six O's that could have been used. In fact, the code 22 46 64 would directly spell out ORB.
Not only is BRO the actual clue, but it's confirmed by breaking the code numbers into two numbers instead of three. 22-12-20, if examined as two numbers, becomes 221-220. Which are "brothers" in the sense that they are integers in a direct sequence.
Perhaps the ORB has something to do with cloning?

Hmmm... poor phrasing on my part. Re-reading that, 221 and 220 as "integers in a direct sequence" is awkward and sucky. Should have said "consecutive numbers in reserve order." Much better. [irony]
Still... 221, 220... Like a count down, perhaps?
Or is it a meta-reference to season two, episodes 21 and 20?
Really, in an episode where the characters are solving cyphers from the arrangement of giant spider eyes, bricks in an Aztec ruin, and the appearance of numbers in a smoke ring, isn't anything fair game, here?

Wow I think you are being a little insane here. They numbers are listed 22 12 20 in order which is where ORB comes from. it has nothing to do with their order as they appear in the message, you substitute each letter as it comes. 22 represents O, 12 R, 20 B in that order. you are extrapolating data from where none exists. also your last point about 221 220 is kind of insane, no offense :P

1. I said it was an epileptic tree, so "insane theory" is a given.
2. Yeah, duh, 22 is O, 12 is R, 10 is B. Never said it wasn't. What I said was, if you run the numbers in direct sequence of 10 12 22, you get BRO. If you were to circle the letters in the code, and read left to right, you would see that it spells BRO.
3. Why, exactly, in a show called "Venture Bros", is reading BRO out of ORB any more insane than Billy finding clues in gunshot smoke, spider eyes, and Aztec ruins?
4. No offense taken. I said it was an epileptic tree, and I'm just throwing out ideas. Apology accepted.

I find it hard to believe that no one has mentioned the Robot Chicken Season 11 finale with the Venture Bros Season 8 scene at the very end: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKH-J3f2RkM
