Starting point is 00:00:00 This podcast is part of the Planet Broadcasting Network. Visit planet broadcasting.com for more podcasts from our great mates. Zach, come here, astronaut Zach. You are in the... uh, via my computers, they tell me that you are in the outer realm of space over... over Houston. Oh, I love Earth in the... Earth from space. It's so beautiful and profound. Yeah, what's it look like up there, buddy? You send a picture home from my wife. Let me tell you, it's beautiful and profound. I mean, I think I'd feel big with a little earth
Starting point is 00:00:41 down here, but I've never felt smaller because that's where I'm from. Wow, beautiful and profound. Look at all the lights. Let me tell you, it's just a myth, I can't see the Great Wall of China but I sure as hell can see your fat ass. Oh, fair enough. Make just remember who is going to get you home, big boy. We're just playing, we're just joking, we're just having a laugh. Houston out, Action Arts Act, out Houston. Houston out to Zach. Action on Mark, you should be riding around on that cowboy that is the outer air, or but tell me buddy, what?
Starting point is 00:01:17 Tell me what you see up there over. Bitbop, bitbop, bitbop, brudin, Houston, Houston are you there? Houston's here, come in, Big Buddy. I'm watching you on the big screen up here at NASA, the National Aeronautical Space, as astronauts, and I'm watching you boys flying up there, and this mighty pretty, I tell you that much. Brip-Roppa, this is astronaut Mark.
Starting point is 00:01:39 Just coming in, just, we've got a bit of a need, we've got a bit of a damage to the hull I'm done outside. I'm just outside having a look at it. I'm getting a little Protocol droid to come in to help me out with that Holding a mug there Mark I can see on the zoom. Well, you're just a little joke there Just a little joke there for, don't actually have a robot out here to help me. Just have a little Star Wars BB8. Well that's a mighty fun joke particularly for the Undone Club people who'll be watching you back here on earth and we're hoping you guys get home real safe and sound my boys. Let me tell you it's been a fun year Houston it's been a fun year up here
Starting point is 00:02:22 in the International Space Station with my best friend Mark But we're colleagues and my friends. We'd love to have a joke This is my last space walk before we head back after a year in space head back down to Houston And let me tell you make sure you keep the Make sure you keep that barbecue the burnt ends bubble tips nice and warm for me Because when I get home, I need to eat some real food. None of this dehydrated shit. Although I'd say that again.
Starting point is 00:02:49 Mark, what's your mission control here? What's your meridian set? Mission control. This is Mark, astronaut, Mark. Copy, copy, copy, copy, copy, copy, copy, copy, copy, copy, astronaut, Mark, copy, and actually, Mark, this is astronaut, Mark. This is an I'm in space floating in space down to see
Starting point is 00:03:05 and the deep blue looking at Earth looks like a beautiful marble. Oh, I'm not still mighty fine. Looks him up there. Oh, man, it looks like a little blue marble. I tell you what you really do. God, God is a beautiful God's real. You're looking down at the big blue marble. It looks like a little big blue marble.
Starting point is 00:03:19 That's God. I believe a God is beautiful. God exists. He's a beautiful God. Metalorian count about 12 over nine. Just checking in on my stats right now. Are you getting oxygen, getting a little low, but there's just been a bit of damage to the heart.
Starting point is 00:03:34 I'm just going to pull back from the Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral. We're watching your K-Age there, and your keyhole coming in. And getting that leg range points going and looking mighty fine, my boys. Houston, I'm going to tell you, I'm a little bit worried about that big astronaut at this conversation. Do you need me to maybe move the space station up a bit,
Starting point is 00:03:55 up a little bit from the path of the asteroid, because we got that asteroid coming in, just saw that data, beep, beep, beep, that data came up on my Apple watch. I thought that astronaut coming in, do you want, beep, that data came up on my Apple watch. I thought that astronaut coming in, do you want to move that space shuttle up? Just a little bit, because me and Mark, I'm outside, I'm on the left side of the ship
Starting point is 00:04:13 and Mark's on the right side of the ship. I'm on the right side of the ship. We give him the ship up if you want. We can do that. And we don't even need to be Houston, check Houston Copy Check. Copy two, three, four, or a copy check.
Starting point is 00:04:23 We don't even need to be in the ship to do that because I'm on the left side Astronauts that is on the right side. We can just we can just hold on to the wings of the ship We can just because there's no gravity in space. No gravity. You just go a little bit So my Just stop it and then we just push it up just a little bit Houston my girl down there Houston you got contact with my girl Push it up just a little bit Houston Houston my girl down there Houston you got contact with my girl My boy, yes, your girls down here. She's looking my pre fuck the shit. What what He's a what
Starting point is 00:04:58 Houston girl She said come on you know me Houston. I'm just sold it. I'm just a sold the earth guy Houston you know me Houston. I'm just so I'm just a salty. I do Houston I was a driller I was a driller I Drill I'm a driller you said he's something to Houston. I know you're just playing. We're just couple boys And it's a bit ragging off and play just over there. I know you're just playing But I'm gonna say tell my girl tell my girl. I'll be down soon because I'm getting over astronaut marks, drive gravity free wristies. I'm ready to see my girl. I love for them gravity free wristies, I'll tell her when next time I'll shoot out of the hay boys what's your micrometer at?
Starting point is 00:05:37 Houston micrometer is about seven, eight, little low. That's okay, that's a little low. Yeah, but that's, oh, maybe can we, Houston, could we get extra support on the micro meter take down to bring it up just three to four notches on notch seven and we might get that notch up. That's up because with microbears, you wanna get the like golf, the lower, the better mark. Astronaut mark, moment man, Astronaut mark.
Starting point is 00:06:05 I'm just going to head around to the right side of the space shuttle. Okay. Because I can hear the asteroid coming. So I'm going to go to the right side, which we need to move. Should we switch the space shuttle up a little bit. Okay. I'm just going to go check. Because that seven reading is a little bit low.
Starting point is 00:06:22 And I think I'd love to move that Houston Diab permission to move the space shuttle up a little bit Houston here getting checking your face face photo Vel-Veltic and getting the plasma reading on the plunge and you're all clear from Houston okay all clear but then I so I'll just go around I'll just Houston come in Houston check oh my god. Oh no Houston check 24. Can you hear? I know a signal mark. Astronomark. What you read? I got my read on the astronaut's act He's saying things like oh my god He sounds like in a worried time like be like something's wrong Astronomark that read that read that was at seven. Now is at five.
Starting point is 00:07:06 Oh my god. It's gone down to it. That's gone down to it. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, it's like golf.

I was a test pilot, astronaut markers, a test pilot. We understand high-press, but it's 4.3 now. So this is getting bad with the astronaut on it, with the asteroid on its way. Zach, you got this into me, Zach, you got this into me. Houston, listen to me. Zach, a smart scientist. He, he being a pilot. He was a absolute top of his graduated top of his acting class and then it was one of the strongest in his year level.
Starting point is 00:07:51 And now... You should've seen him perform as Puck. It was incredible as Puck. In an amazing Puck, but me, I'm sold to the earth, I'm a drill man, I know mine's, I know how to drill down and get. That's why they trained me up here for such an emergency Mark I understand that but we're now at 3.8 so we've got to work together as a team
Starting point is 00:08:11 Hey, what was it before there was at four point it was at seven at the start and now it's going down at a very fast rate Houston get your book Houston you do your math. There is a problem Mark Houston. There is a problem Mark Houston. There is a problem. We've got we've got a bad situation Mark I need you to get the drills from the from the from the space cupboard on the outside But wait a you is that space cupboard. Oh, no, isn't the space cupboard on the right side of the ship? Oh, no under brains. You're the brawn But under one with the access to the space cupboard drill. I'm going to have to train you over radio over radio in the space. You're
Starting point is 00:08:53 going to have to train me and Houston, I have to figure out what you're going to do just yet in the scenario. I understood Houston, I'm'm gonna fuck it wife. Stop fucking bud. Houston does the math. Houston does the math, Stan. 1.5, the astronaut, asteroid is here, astronaut Mark. Boom. Boom. Oh no. Oh no, this is a bad bit. This is a bad bit.
Starting point is 00:09:17 Oh no. Oh my god, what are we gonna do? Oh my god, I'm floating away into space. Oh no, floating into the way space flooding away into space. Oh no, I'm flooding into a space God Houston Houston Houston. Yes. Yes. I'm about I'm I'm flooding through space. I'm upside down. I'm upside down now But where are you where are you are you a NASA? Yeah, I'm a Houston This is for fucking my girl Chisthen what you did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did dumb cunt driller up here. I as a scientist know it's already turned to ice. It already turned to ice and it's floating away.
Starting point is 00:10:08 Mark, you gotta kill me in five minutes when that ice you cool comes down, made of your spit and possibly COVID. It will pierce my brain, I won't be able to fuck your wife in those. That wasn't just a little spit that was now an I start heading to Houston. So not only do we have our space shield completely destroyed from asteroid, we've got an I start heading to Houston. So not only do we have our space shield completely destroyed from
Starting point is 00:10:25 asteroid, we've got an ice start heading to Houston in the next five minutes. This is a disaster coming up after the break. So we're back. Oh no, we've got a disaster. Wait, wait, we can of course, just like the Fantastic Fantastic Four there are four of us and we can pull together Oh, we're dead. Oh, we're dead. Oh, we're dead. Oh, there was four of us. We're dead. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. I thought something would come to me. It didn't work. Oh, God. We're fucking dead. Wait a minute. come to me it didn't work. Oh God. We're fucking dead. Wait a minute. Have you guys ever heard of? Do you hear that space? Astronaut sneezing. That's my friend in the spaceship. They're coming now. It's astronaut. It's astronaut. Brody's house mate. Maybe it's
Starting point is 00:11:19 hello. What's the other? It's astronaut. Brody's house mate. How are you doing? What are you doing? It's a hospital, bro. It's a house mate. How are you? I said someone here at Houston who needs to take an anti-histamine. Who I live with. But it's me, the character of astronaut. Bro, it's a house mate. What the fuck is going on? And I'm here.
Starting point is 00:11:44 I've got a spaceship. I'm here to save you, but there's only one seat in my spaceship. So the moral dilemma is between Houston, astronaut, Zach, and astronaut Mark, they have to decide in the five minutes before the icicle kills Houston, and then in 20 minutes. 20 and a half minutes.
Starting point is 00:12:04 And then in the 10 minutes between that and me getting to you, you have to decide who takes the seat in the spaceship. It's a moral dilemma. Do we understand? Yes, but I just need some clarity. Are you two different characters, Zach? Yes. Oh, okay. Because I thought you were just actually not Zach putting on a voice in which case then I'll just get in the ship with you
Starting point is 00:12:30 No, it's a different character. I should not throw it in his house mate. I just sound like mookie wogies. We recorded two podcasts in a row and I didn't have time to think of a new character. We're banking on that. I'll give myself a new voice. And wall there. Oh Scottish.
Starting point is 00:12:47 Astronomers. Golden. They smit. God damn it. Like Hages. But red Hages. Now there's three of us up here in space and only one seat. Guys, I'm gonna get you on the same character. I've changed the character. What? So there's still so how many of us up there is there now? It's three of us this three of us. So there's not all character I'm making it sound less like oh Moogie, I thought there was four of us up here now. No, there's three up here. I 've got the one seat in the
Starting point is 00:13:21 Spaceship anyway over and out, I'll be there in 20. Beep. Hey, it's Houston here. Houston here. Houston here. Is there all of that, Houston? Listen, I, as a listener, to you two, have no fucking clue what's going on. I can't answer.
Starting point is 00:13:39 Recap exactly what's happening up there. I'm busy down here, fucking your wives. Well, don't, stop that. I'm busy down here fucking your wives. Well, don't get... Stop that. I need semi-major access. I need SF-OF spaceflight operation facility and I need shepherd moons, ingrevitational content with the ring particles yesterday.
Starting point is 00:13:55 God damn it Houston, I can't give you that. That information is in the cockpit and that cockpit is half way to Mars now. We're floating through space and we're F Houston. We are F'd, but I'll tell you what, your Scottish housemate who sounded like Mugi, but due to notes from my peers,
Starting point is 00:14:15 I changed their accent. He is coming in a, on a, in a spaceship to save us, but there's only one seat in the spaceship. And now there's a moral dilemma. Astronaut Zack, astronaut Mark. Who, who lives? Me. Doesn't matter. I'll take it. The weather's first.
Starting point is 00:14:36 Yeah, I'll take it. I'm happy to. Shotgun. No, you can't shotgun that. Great. I got in the ship. And oh, yes, that's how I got in the ship and oh, yes And here he is now I'm going home. Oh my no This is probably a good time to say Zack's dead you spit really well like it was an awesome fucking Yes, yes, it landed about a meter from me like really impressive. Yeah, fuck my my maths in my brain
Starting point is 00:15:08 With just off, but it's okay because I'm in this very fucking impressive to be honest. Yeah, well I'm not a fucking idiot. I'm not a fucking national for no fucking reason mate I'm here because I understand this shit. All right alright I get it you just spat like that's impossible man obviously it's not impossible I did it very purposefully I fucked up I wanted that Zach is still gone by the way he died I died I gave us a little moral good earth most coming back to earth I could see him. He's landing. Hang in there, buddy. I'm landing. I'm landing.
Starting point is 00:15:47 I'm landing. I'm landing. He's landing, Kel Rizian. Ah! Mark? Mark, it's Houston. Do you copy? I...
Starting point is 00:16:00 Mark. I copy. Oh no. Mark has come back to Earth with a duck of a duck voice. I copy you, brodan. Oh, okay. Well, welcome back, astronaut Mark. Um... What... what are you happy to be home?
Starting point is 00:16:18 I have returned to Earth with superpowers. Oh my God, that's incredible. This is huge for science and you're... What is your superpower? I superpowers, I can smell other people's thoughts when they happen. What? I can smell other people's thoughts. I can smell them, but they have to be in the same room as me.
Starting point is 00:16:49 Ahaha! You are all doomed! So you have the power of someone who doesn't have a cold? Yes! And now if you fart, I will be able to smell it and try and figure out who in the room it was based on my proximity to them and maybe- That's a pretty useless power in these days. No!
Starting point is 00:17:12 No, no, it's pretty good. It's a pretty good power. Sorry, time out, time out. Jack, you're alive. Yeah, now obviously I've made a bit of a visual joke here, something we said we wouldn't do at the top of the podcast, but I've made a bit of a visual joke here something we said we wouldn't do at the top of the podcast, but I've come back as Tiny's act I've been reincarnated. It's tiny's act
Starting point is 00:17:36 So I died in space because some kind didn't say yes and and now I died Now I come back I did say yes and and now I died. Oh, I've gone though. Now I come back. I did say yes and. I did say yes and. I know you did. This is extra terrestrial improv. And then so I died. But I've been reincarnated as a tiny version of myself
Starting point is 00:18:01 living in the grass. Well, let me tell you something. I can ride on ants like a horse. You've come back to get revenge on me for taking that seat. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, bro. Yeah, you two, me. Well, can you see me? I'm tiny now. Well, I can see you on the zoom. And Brodham was going to say something. And then I think I need to maybe clarify some specifics about me being tiny.
Starting point is 00:18:32 OK, Brodham. You're listening to the sci-fi, anti-donor episode, where great sci-fi ideas come to life. Oh, look, a comment. Now, Now Zach you want to explain some of the details of your... Well I just less the explanation. I just I realize that maybe me being reincarnated as a tiny version of myself might be a little confusing. So I was just wanting to, if you guys have any questions, just let me know. Do you have all your old memories? But yes, but tiny small. Do you now care, because you seem to not care that Mark, you, that he he Mark killed me. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:25 Yeah. Do you care that I'm fucking your wife now? Or have you left that guy? No, that's that was that was normal size X wife. So tiny Zach, I've been reincarnated. I'm completely new. Oh, okay. And do you have a, I've got a wife.
Starting point is 00:19:40 I don't know why I know. Well, for me it doesn't have to be my time wife. Because I came back with superpowers, my wife was so amazed and impressed with them that she's come back to me. Well, that I'm hoping that she will at least. I haven't had a chance to see her yet. She said she was pretty excited about it. Really?
Starting point is 00:20:03 Oh, guys, I've had a heart attack. What now? I'm dying. What is this? Well, you know, that's very nonchalant about that. And nonchalant. And I'll be reading. You talk now. I'll be reading, carnated later.
Starting point is 00:20:16 It's nonchalant and nonchalant. Because I, yes. I never got to tell Tiny's act that I was fucking his tiny wife, too. I never got to tell Tiny's act that I was fucking his tiny wife too. I never got to tell Tiny's act that he farted and I could smell it. I didn't want to be rude. You know what I say? I say, how does that work?
Starting point is 00:20:33 Because, Brodin, my powers are growing. As you see when you first get your powers, there are limits to them. But of course, now my powers are growing and now my powers include that if anyone farts over Zoom, I can smell their farts. Is this the sort of power that will eventually kill you? Is this a power? So here's my question to you Mark and we'll get to who I've reincarnated as soon. But my question to you Mark is, is it a power like in a superhero movie or is it more like a power in mid 90s? mid 90s
Starting point is 00:21:12 Middling drama like powder that goes for two and a half hours and makes you cry Where the power at first is amazing and misunderstood and then it you eventually realize that that very power is killing you. Yes. No, it's more like the power in the movie Handcock. Have you seen Handcock? I've not seen Handcock. Eventually, the twist at the end of this is that I am an angel. Yeah, right. Is that any of the twist at the end of Handcock? Spoilers. Like two thirds in.
Starting point is 00:21:46 Yeah, it's like two thirds in. Himself and Shally's The Ron, I believe is. They're both angels. Yeah, they're both angels. They're angels. And of course. We'll never take towards one another. Yeah, they can't get away from it.
Starting point is 00:21:59 We've got like that. We've got that. Lover twist, don't know, like Lover twist like that. I'm trying to think of other films that have twist like that, but I can't. So what, okay, so angels in America. Now that's no. Yeah, the twist, the twist at the end is that there's angels,
Starting point is 00:22:17 isn't that right? I've not seen it. No, no. Now, okay, so here's where we are, just to recap everybody, the space episode of the podcast. Two people. One died in space. That was astronaut Zach died in space. Mark came back to Earth with the power, which is growing, I'm not dead, where he can now smell people and other zooms, farts. On zoom, no, someone who's, he's on zoom with, he can smell their fart, he's safe fart.
Starting point is 00:22:47 And I still can't tell who did it. I have to just use like normal, just like trying guess who's lying. Well, the rule usually is those who smell the Delta. Is it possible that you are farting? Smelling your own fart. No, you're smelling your own fart. Absolutely, but how do you know?
Starting point is 00:23:04 That we're doing it. We're smelling your own farts. Absolutely. That's the looping. We're doing it. Absolutely not. In medicine and science, I'm a scientist. Well, I was a scientist in my past life. And in science, the most likely thing is probably the one, the thing that's happening.
Starting point is 00:23:23 So what's probably happening, Mark, is you're smelling your own farts. And there's no power at all. You came back to earth, you smell your own farts. That happened in a room with other people now that the COVID pandemic is happening. You're smelling your own farts in a room alone. And potentially, Mark isn't such denial about farting,
Starting point is 00:23:44 because he who denies it supplies it. He's in deep denial and he's rationalizing in his head that other people are farting even when there's no one around him. Yeah, totally. He's become quite profound. That's quite beautiful. Yeah. There was never any powers at all. We've gone from a handcock twist
Starting point is 00:24:06 to a... You never mind twist. Oh, okay. What were you gonna go with? Oh, six cents, the whole film, he's denying to himself that he's passed. Yeah, so I was going to be a whole mind. This whole podcast, the same, yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:21 He is denying the fact that he is he ate too many beans earlier. Well, we'll see. It's not a Jacob's ladder twist. Maybe we'll do a Jacob's ladder twist on my end. Maybe we'll do it on them. I don't know what that film is. I don't want to know. I want you to just do that twist. Now, for the audience as well, I'm recapping what Zach is. Zach was in space. He missed that on a seat home. An asteroid came and killed everyone. An asteroid came and killed everyone.
Starting point is 00:24:51 That's correct. It's hard. I was struggling with it as well. Asteroid, astronaut, they're very similar words. Guys, I was struggling to grow up a bit. Whoa, whoa, look at much. This new Zach is really different. Someone can say, someone can fuck up their words.
Starting point is 00:25:04 And it's just so cool and accepting of it. This is that could be cool, man. Interesting. Anyway, he came back. Then he was reincarnated as tiny Zach, whose tiny wife, fucking, we fucked. And then he died of a heart attack before we even got to know tiny Zach, maybe because his heart was too small to pump the tiny blood through his tiny blood. Finally enough to be, he had a full human, full human-sized heart. maybe because his heart was too small to pump the tiny blood through his tiny blood. He had a full human-sized heart.
Starting point is 00:25:27 I know what that'd kill you. Yeah. Now, we're meeting the third reincarnation of Zach. Obviously, Zach is a Hindu because he's reincarnating like that. So, please welcome the third incarnation of Zach who you? I'm Darwin's Zach. As in like the evolutionist? No, no, as in the city and the Northern Territory.
Starting point is 00:25:59 Right. You are Zach who lives in Darwin. Yeah. So I'm very similar to the Zach you knew. Uh-huh. There's a few subtle differences, you know, you've noticed the thing about me not picking on someone for mispronouncing their words.
Starting point is 00:26:14 But the main thing is I now live in Darwin. OK. My, he's my, I'm going to, I'm going to test him on this to see if it's real. Mm-hmm. What do you prefer? Shorts or long pants? Do you know what, Broden? I prefer long pants, but unfortunately I don't get to wear them very often due to the hot
Starting point is 00:26:33 weather in Darwin. Trick question, yes. He is, for those overseas, Darwin is one of the hottest parts of Australia. It's in the northern end, ridiculously humid weather, usually 38 degrees, and that, you know, 80, 90 in the other fucking one, when it Fahrenheit sells it. Up to the close to 100, it's a very hot, awful place in, as far as heat. He said the right answer to that. Question two. Ever been bitten by a crocodile? No, although when my mum came and visited after I moved to Darwin
Starting point is 00:27:08 from Victoria, she came and visited and we took her to the crocodile farm. Well, there you go. Okay, this is checking out. And Mark, have you got a third question for Darwin's act? Just did you ever live in Victoria or so, so, so you're just Zach now and you're in Darwin Well, Zach was Zach now was an astronaut. Yeah, or he was tiny. So yes, so just I am
Starting point is 00:27:36 so You talk about yet like I died and was reincarnated as Darwin's act. Right. But another way I could have done, I could have reached the same destination with a different journey which would be just moving to Darwin. Okay. So it's like, this is a Zack that was born and raised in Darwin.
Starting point is 00:27:58 No, no, no. So much like many people in Darwin, I lived in Victoria for a few years and I came to Darwin chasing a game. You know what? This whole podcast has been designed to help us develop new characters, little sketch ideas. And we started it with the hope that we would find new stuff and we would take our rehearsal process and turn that into something that the audience could enjoy because it's a great energy that people don't usually get to see.
Starting point is 00:28:31 You see the live polished versions of the show, you see our finished YouTube videos, you see the final product. Sometimes those ideas come from a dumb little idea. The podcast was a way for the audience to see that process. The South African sands, Mogi Wogi, you know, the large development of pizza man as a character and others. This isn't going to be developed into anything beyond this. No, you don't see a future for Darwin's egg. The space, the idea of YouTube floating in space, I'm Houston,
Starting point is 00:29:06 and then very gradually you all die. One starts to smell his own farts. One keeps killing himself and reincarnating himself. But he's the thing. Brody and Brody. Oh, well, I'll let Mark go. Well, here's the thing. What I was going to say is, what if I were to tell you
Starting point is 00:29:22 that maybe the reason that it is working is because we never left space this entire time. What if I were to tell you? Are you telling me that Zach never died? Are you telling me that you never came back to Earth? Are you telling me this whole time you're all been in space and I've been hallucinating? What if I want to tell you I've been in space as has Zach this entire let's see if Zach is gonna pop out your mind. Let's see if Zach is going to hop on board and go with this.
Starting point is 00:30:05 I can't wait. Wait, let me ask that very special question to Zach. Zach. Yeah. Are you in space still? Broden, let me ask you a question. And this is a question for you as well, astronaut Mark. Yes.
Starting point is 00:30:22 What if this entire time space, astronaut's act was the hallucinations I was having after taking some acid and going to the Darwin markets, Thursday night markets, and the actual twist is that the actual twist is what you thought was the structure of the story with short flat board yet. Backs. Yeah, I'm getting lost. I'm struggling with it. So the short bursts of me being Darwin's act.
Starting point is 00:31:10 You thought this was an aside, is actually, Broden, the core of the story and all the space stuff was in my mind. And actually it was me dealing with the fact because of the reincarnation stuff and the fart stuff, dealing with the fact that I am dying. And this entire podcast happened in the space of a few seconds as Darwin's act dies and goes to heaven. What if I were to tell you that? This is the Jordan movie. And it's close to the twist of that film.
Starting point is 00:31:57 And trying to structurally go with that twist. What would you feel about that, Brian and Emma? I think they're both plausible endings. I think it's great. I'm moved by both. But what if I would tell you, Zach? Oh, no. That this whole time, while we've been in space, and you've been describing that convoluted ending to a film that I haven't seen. But I was it, can I be very clear? I wasn't talking about the
Starting point is 00:32:24 ending of Jacob's letter. I was trying, I wasn't, can I be very clear? I wasn't talking about the ending of Jacob's letter. I was trying, I'm just using structurally what he did with that twist. What if I was telling you this whole time that I was tiny, Zach? Oh my God. What if I was to tell you both? What if I'm, can I just be really clear mark just make sure
Starting point is 00:32:48 Just make sure when you become tiny Zach just because we are we are video recording these for the for the Anti-donna club pal by patreon. Uh-huh Just make sure when you when you become as Tiny's act just make sure you rename yourself in the zoom guys I've got the actual twist and you're worrying about semantics. Let me do the final twist. What, I just want to make sure that's nice and clear. Just because if people are watching, I've got the Patreon on the Antidona Club.
Starting point is 00:33:15 I just want to make sure that they see a tiny Zach, that one and that. What if I was to tell you both? Well, I'm just setting it up for you. What if I was to tell you both? Well, I'm just setting it up for this. What if I was to tell you both? Setting up. That the fight, the space and the worrying about the conflict and the fire is me and Houston and I'm struggling, how am I going to bring these people down to earth? How am I going to get them back?
Starting point is 00:33:36 And there's all these fuck things happening. Then I close my eyes and I open them and I'm a monk and I've got a can of petrol with me. Oh, that's cool. I've forgotten about that twist. This is a good twist. But let's not say which movie that is because you know, that's... I was one of the psychopaths and I said myself on fire. Oh, I thought the twist was going to be this whole time we're on the photo shoot for
Starting point is 00:34:07 the cover of the rage against the machine album. No, seven psychopaths. Can I ask you very quickly, Broden? Yeah. If you're going to do that, I know we said we wouldn't get into the into the depths of the visuals here because this is mostly an audio podcast for most people except for the power by Patreon. If you do become the monk, could you just rename yourself in the zoom into burning monk? Sure, I just, I know that that is semantics. There is no, then yeah. And now only And I think it only comes up like when you talk as well. Occasionally, I worry that maybe this is making an audio podcast unlistenable for the sake of a few
Starting point is 00:34:53 Patreon people. I did on a club, PowerPatreon. I did on a club, PowerPatreon. So you've changed your name to semantics. What I've asked you to do is change your name to Burning Munk or something to that effect effect and also if you could change your background to the image The the the man self-imulating in protest to the Vietnam government. I think that'll be really funny. I don't think so That's potentially is that unless someone gets the honey down a club
Starting point is 00:35:29 6,000 what if I would tell you. Oh no, no more twists, we gotta go home. What if I would tell you that I have been in space this whole time? Well technically we'll have all been in space because earth is in space, we're all in space now. So sorry Mark, to be pedantic about this, but your name is still quite exact. I'll change that now. So if you could just rename yourself.
Starting point is 00:35:54 I'm so sorry. I am so sorry, man. But what if I would have just had to do an extra mark because it's just a bit quicker? And I mean, it's only for people that are Subscribing to the page what if I would tell you don't have to do this you don't have to keep doing this What if I want to tell you that this entire time? It wasn't me who was in space is that down and that but rather I I am mad. Oh my God. And what if I were to tell you when I got into that ship sacrificing the other astronaut? I killed myself.
Starting point is 00:36:44 Yeah, right. because it was me So his is what I was so guilty no see guys I need to know something there's no way this is a shit idea. This is all shit This is all dog shit and there's no way talking more you can't talk out of this. We, this, fuck it, this story and this comedy, Pogasuck shit. Broden, can I say, is it a fucking married episode? There was married to a gravity parody, but I don't think, I think we just, we came a little undone pretty early on. I think it was pretty strong up top.
Starting point is 00:37:20 But what if I just say to you, Broden, that, you know, you talked a little bit about how sometimes we extract things from the podcast and make sketches out of them. It doesn't have to be a gravity parody, it doesn't have to be the thing. I really like and want to pitch to you guys Darwin's act as a six-part sitcom that we pitched to SBS. Oh, I thought you were gonna do, we could distract from this episode the idea
Starting point is 00:37:48 that all the twists, twists on top of twists, on top of twists could be a really great way in a long form narrative show or in a live show. We had that idea at one point, did you still do like a five minute show that then was an hour of twists? If not, that's a great idea. That's a great idea.
Starting point is 00:38:04 That's a great idea. Hey, hey, hey, we did it. We got something, we got something hour of twists. If not, that's a great idea. That's a great idea. Hey, hey, we got something out of it. What if I was to tell you that these tangents are the purpose of the episode? Yeah. Is there any legs in Darwin's act? No, no, absolutely. So basically, it's funny.
Starting point is 00:38:24 It is funny, sure. It's basically about a guy who, he has a breakdown at his job in Victoria that he moves down for six, for a while. It's like sea change, but funny. Comedy is personal. One person can find something incredibly funny. Another person can say it's not funny.
Starting point is 00:38:42 There's a spectrum of, you know, nothing is not funny. It's all in the eye of the beholder. But let me tell you something unequivocally. Darwin's Zach is not funny. What if I were to tell you, Asha Kedi is interested in playing the part of Darwin's Zach? Now I want to talk. Now I want to talk.
Starting point is 00:38:57 Let's talk. Let's talk. Asha Kedi has expressed interest. She's, well, now I'm thinking prime time. Now I'm thinking SPS is too small for this. Yeah, now I'm thinking Channel 10. Let's, all right. And join us next week when we premiere the pilot episode
Starting point is 00:39:17 of Darwin's Act starring Asha Kedi. We're gonna be doing a live reading of the pilot script. So join us next week at Darwin's Zach and Asha Ketty. See you next week.
