Thanks. Thanks so much for joining us on the Arnidhana Pumcast. We've got a special guest this evening. You may know him from... Specialist.

Specialist as well. Well, not really. Actually, it's pretty accurate. Yeah. He might be on the spectrum, hit Sam Lingon. Hey guys, how you doing? I'm not on the spectrum. My psychologist, Draconson, I'm knowing you're it. I know. Sam's not on the spectrum my psychologist reckons. I'm knowing you're it

Sam's not on the spectrum. Yeah, he reads emotions. He just doesn't care for them. Right Last time I dropped the packet of matches he looked at many went there's 8,000 there But there was only 34 Right so But there was only 34. I don't know what that says. Right, so, uh, Boris. I like an art Australia. We've not everyone. We've just started. So today we thought we'd do another, the last recap episode went so well.

You guys were so positive. Oh, the responses we had. The response was huge. Just a context. They neither went good or bad as we just did it. We just did it so we don't know. We haven't actually released it. But I'm assuming. At this point.

I'm assuming. I think it's good to keep the illusion alive. So thank you so much for assuming. Makes. You look like a cunt. Yes, that's the saying. It makes you look like a cunt. And if you add all those lit, anyway.

Do you know where you were going with that when you said to a shoe? Yeah, okay. Because I just thought you said to a shoe that I thought I saw your mind just empty out. I've got nothing. You've got nothing. No, that's fucking off, man.

That's off. That's man. That's off. That's cool. That's blue. So today we thought we'd, it's a little overju. But we thought we'd recap and talk about a web series that we did that a lot, that a couple of people really enjoyed called 1999. Some of you might be familiar with it. It's not familiar with it. It's not familiar with it.

It's a sketch web series we did on YouTube. So it's a bunch of sketches set in an office building in 1999 in the lead up to Y2K. Wow. Great, that's great. That was like pitch, like exactly what we wrote in the pitch. No, pitch wasn't in that one. No, that's not what I was in trendy.

So trendy are a bunch of sketches we did, if you're not familiar with it, it's a different web series we did called trendy. And that's a bunch of sketches all set around things that are trendy like hip bars, hip coffees, drinking water. Had less of an impact than 99. Yes, people hated it.

I think a really great way to start this just because people want to know facts, people want to know things. I think we should maybe start with a fax with Zach. Alright, let's start with a fax with Zach about the year 1999. Tom played the song that some fans made now. Fax with Zach, Fax with Zach, Fax with Zach. We're going to the fax with Zach. Yeah, Google China is a subsidiary of Google China Rack is the number three search engine in China after they do and so so calm

What did you search? Oh, this is facts about Google China Back to the song Zack's girlfriend has been in China recently and they couldn't talk over Facebook because it's banned in China So I think Zack's been doing a lot of research on China and what you can actually Google. But by November 2013, it's search market share had declined to 1.7% from its August 2009 level of 36.2%. Zach over the last couple of weeks has been quite lonely and quite, he hasn't had a lot of physical affection, so he'd come into the office every morning and need a bit of a hug but not really ask for it.

On June 30, 2010, Google ended the Automatic Redirect of Google China to Google Hong Kong. Since that skill friend's been back he seemed a bit more relaxed and just up for having a laugh. The reason we made 1999 was we made the story, is we made a pilot for the ABC. How'd that go? Well, we didn't get the series, so we're still waiting to hear. Define. So we're still letting it go.

No, no, it's just that your glass is half full, I'm half empty, I'm very much glass is half full.'s just that your glass is half full. I'm very half empty I'm very much glass glass is half full. Yeah, but your glass is half full of shit So for those of you who haven't seen the pilot features a character is a mark Zack and Broding in a sketch group called Auntie Donna And it's not going very well and then fourth member Adrian leaves which happened in actual life And it's them sort of working at how to move forward as a group And if they can still be a site and we're still hearing we're still waiting to hear from the ABC about whether that's gonna Go to see it. Yeah, absolutely and some of us are in denial about the phone call and emails we've received confirm

It was a lengthy and other people took what they said quite literally and didn't read between the lines So yeah, so will it just leave it at that. Let's agree to agree that we haven't heard just yet what's going to happen. But we haven't got the series. We can agree on that. Let's disagree to agree on that. Why do you think we're doing a like doing a pilot for Stan? Let's just say I remember the conversation going a little bit differently. When they said, we're a little something like this. We rise on a scene where all three of us tread very carefully. Oh guys, it's just my phone. It's a private number.

Let's just see what it is. We just realized the whole that we may have dug for ourselves because we love the ABC very much. Yeah, of course we do. And we can't wait to hear back from them about the pilot and whether we got a series or not. All right, we wouldn't be where we are today without the A-Bike. Just a quick, in this point in time, this is what, when we found out we didn't get the series,

do you remember that mark? I'm going to put that in inverted commas just for me. Um, do you remember how long was that like a year ago now? Oh, three or four years ago. Oh, no, actually, six months. Six, maybe ten months here. Anyway, but I had a full head hair at the time, is that right? Ah, that's how I remember it, yes.

So, um, so I've got a quiff of hair. No, no. It was slipped back, it was like a wild mane. I just, I think it's like James Dean. I don't start remit, No, no. It was slipped back. It was like a wild man. I just, I think, I think James Dean. I just don't remember. Okay. Okay. Because I remember when the ABC said to us, just wait to hear from us, maybe give us like

a year to figure out what we're doing. I remember Broden very, like just running his hands through his hair and pulling out a knit. Oh, that's true, the knit. You pulled out a whole knit. Remember the knit? In fact, the knits right here. Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun,

Hello. Ah, Mr. Knit. Hello, I brought a knit. We're just talking about you. Yes, I know. I've come here to climb back into your luscious, l- Oh, no. What?

Broded. Yeah. My own. You're What? Brody, my own. You're hitting my hair. My knit home, where did it go? I receded. I'll tell you what, I reckon this knit's a bit of a knit wit. Am I right, boys? You're gonna hell!

You're gonna hell, you can't. I'm just lost, my hand. Get him out of here, get him out of here. It's got their knit out of here. So that was the knit sketch. Just for those of you who don't know, Brody has a shaved head and doesn't Get him out of here. Get him out of here. Get this blood there, knit out of here. So that was the niche sketch. Just for those of you who don't know, Broden currently has a shaved head and doesn't have a lot of hair.

So that's the joke. Currently. Currently, but I'm gonna grow back. There's always a chance to share it. There is always a chance that it could come back just like any second now we could get a call from the AB. This isn't funny or related to anything,

but you know, Heston Blumenthal isn't balding. He just chooses to shave it because it's a hot for a shitcho. For those of you who don't know, Heston Blumenthal is an English chef and he's a lot of fancy experimentation with food and the ideas of presentation. He's one of the people at the forefront of molecular astronomy, although that's a name chosen

by the critics, not the chef. Just a bit of a context. Sam is, every time we do something, he's going to explain what that is, just for a bit of context. That's the joke. I'm going to keep doing it and it's going to be great. All right. Anyway, so are we still doing the scene already?

Do you want to? I'm very happy with that, if they say it. Yeah, but no, no. We love the ABC, can't wait to get that call. We were like, we were like, what are we gonna do if this show doesn't go to series and we wanna keep making stuff and being funny on screen?

And we said, well, let's try and make a YouTube series. And so he said, well, let's try and see if anyone wants to help us make a YouTube series. Yeah, and there was this funding available through the wonderful screen Australia who also helped fund our pilot and our two previous efforts with the ABC and Australia. What? The film Australia. They would have probably. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they definitely would have. I think even Wolverine, the first Wolverine movie, they'd be involved.

Like origins. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And like what other shit that opening montage should have been the whole film they do it fun I can't even think just on the Australian and the Wolverine and movies Hollywood movies. So who's excited about Logan? What a title. Oh, is that what they've called it Logan? Logan I like it. Yeah, I'll check it. I can't wait to see them fuck it up again. I'm excited. I'm excited for the third act of big monster Yeah, yeah, I can't wait for them to for Hugh Jackman to be like no this time We've finally done the film. We've finally done the character justice and then it not be good So yeah, if you're a fan in China, you're not because YouTube you can't watch YouTube

You've got your own you've got your own one But so screen Australia had this initiative called skip ahead where they were giving a bunch of counts a bunch of money to make Content specifically for YouTube because it was also half funded by Google and and and YouTube And we were like it was it was a good amount of money It wasn't a lot of money, but it was a very good amount of money the most money we'd ever had But to the point where we were like okay, so there's only so much money We're gonna have to set everything in one location right? Well, and a big thing for us is we usually as soon as we get money

We were like we we then do all our most expensive ideas You know walls moving away for funeral. Yeah like a a ABC pilot, which could potentially go to series any moment, we had like 10 locations and shot it in five days, which is huge and a ridiculous effort, especially for the amount of money that we had. So we just sort of said, let's spend this money not on locations, but on taking three weeks off our part-time jobs to write the series. Yeah. You could write it good.

And we thought what's a cool place to set a sketch series. And we thought the moon. I wasn't. And then our producer came back and said, no. I can't do the moon. I wasn't. And then our producer came back and said, no. Can't do the moon. No. And we went, all right. So we said an office in Richmond. We went, we went, we went, she said much closer, much closer. We pretty much went, what's the, what's, let's set it in a decade, you know, decades of funny, the 90s is really funny And then we wait we we very gradually just talked through to the point when we went let's set something in

99 in an office high-rise building on the lead lead up to Y2K Thinking was there was a lot of sitcoms and comedy set in like mundane offices, you know the office I can't be bothered. Well, because, because also remember, the UK office you were. Remember originally the idea was that it was going to be a house party and all the sketches in the, in the, we are the first of all there was, there was first, but even before that we were going to do Rumpers Room 2. Oh, yeah, we thought about, because what's interesting

about that is that we shot Rumpers Room in the Rumpers Room 2. Oh, are we? Yeah, we thought about, because what's interesting about that is that we shot Rumpus Room in the Rumpus Room of my ex-girlfriend's home and we no longer speak. But what we were going to do is spend the money. Talk about that, Mum. Nah. Nah. And we were thought about spending the money on building an exact replica set of the Rumpus Room and then shooting a whole bunch of sketches including a Rumpers Room

too. Return to Rumpers Room. We should do it one day. It's very fun. That's a Rumpers Room. Exactly. Same colors. On photographs and the footage from Rumpers Room. Tom, this is not your podcast. You had yours. Oh, they sold the house. So we're going to set it in like the high rise like money never sleeps sort of. Right. Yeah. So it was like some business. So it was Rumpus Room 2. Then it was, oh, we're going to do like a house party where different sketches set around a house party on New Year's Eve and it leads to sort of a New Year's thing happening at the end plot wise.

But then, yeah, what did you say, fuck it? Like a big business. What's the one with Leo de Caprio? A wolf of Wall Street. A wolf of Wall Street, yeah. So then, yeah, the next idea was, yeah, this is exciting. It's not going to be mundane. It's not going to be mundane, it's not going to be cubicles, it's going to be big sexy oak tables and then

to get our producer said, can't afford big sexy oak tables. We need to try a little bit. Try setting it in a mundane office and we said, okay, which would have been great. That really was like all those sketches were supposed to be set in like, you know, with like, yeah, like massive views of the city and huge glass walls and, you know, really, really expensive, high-rise stuff. But, yeah, the budget just couldn't get us there. We ended up shooting in an office that was available

and the time we needed it took ages and ages for our producer to find it. But we ended up shooting in a place called, and I shit you not, cock ram. So cock ram is a construction company, isn't it Sam? Yeah. It's funny, sorry, for anyone who's lacking clarity there, it's funny because it's cock and ram.

Cock sounds like a penis. Ram is a verb. Oh, cock doesn't sound like a penis. It is a penis. I always thought it was because it was like a chicken and a sheep. No, no doesn't show us. It is a penis. I always thought it was because it was like a chicken and a sheep. No, no, no, no, no.

It's just a chicken stuff. It's like two cheeky animals. No, it's a building. It's as though you're ramming your cock into something, be it a church farm. Oh, that's John Spine. Or an anus. Or a bag of a lube.

A male. Fruit. Fruit could be fruitube, a male. Fruit. Fruit, it could be fruit. Perhaps a sweet American apple pie. Oh, I love that movie. Or a mugger chain. Oh, great way to bring the conversation back on. Yeah, because we've talked for 15 minutes

and very little of that has been useful about 90 seconds. No, there's been some good stuff. You know, they've been some good stuff from there, about it. You okay? They've been, we've covered some interesting things. You're right. Yeah.

Stories from the set. Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duhden. I've got nothing. Yeah, it's pretty. The Batman versus Superman trailer, the second one that reveals Doomsday is that the end came out while we were filming Touchy Tim. And it was very distracting and we were all talking about what people's thoughts and feelings on the reveal of Doomsday was. That's what I remember. I'm sure I was very excited about Doomsday. I thought it'd be good to talk about how we came to the sketches that we ended up shooting. And maybe some that didn't make the cut and then some how some sketches became the sketches that they wanted to we wanted to do. Now stories from set. So can I can I quickly interject if you

right now get your rewindy buttons ready it's gonna be a fun challenge to find the exact moment that Broden regretted speaking in his head voice. No, I'm not born. I'm very old. Broden, let us know. I'm generating energy. Let us know on Twitter what you think was the exact moment that Broden came up. That hasn't happened yet. He's still doing it.

I've got some questions for Broden. Do you want to talk about maybe Bigger toBill and Bogan Brad and where that came from? I think, well I did all that happy to... So now he's not just talking in head voice, now he's adopted the character of like a 1920s Dame. Well, it dawned up here. I'd be happy to tell you about Berm. Yeah, now I'm on board.

So. Yeah. So, yeah, well how do you do? Tell me all about that sketch. What is your name? Oh my name is John. Oh John Well, you are the most handsome man of the fair. Thank you. Tell me. Tell me. Are you heading to the booth? Oh no fears are nice sort of thing. I'm just ripping off my true Maxwell's character. He's Andrew Maxwell, who's Canadian? British comedian.

Yeah, he's carrot. Yeah, yeah, he do, I'll have you a little sketch. We got to do a podcast with him with him. He's very funny. He's in Oles. We had, yeah. Anyway, go on, go on. We had the idea for a character who...

the start of sentence sounded bad. the end of the sentences sounded good And with yeah, we tried doing it for our live show the previous year and we couldn't quite get it right I loved it. I was always a huge supporter of it. Yeah, but it just it didn't we remember we tested it in front of a bunch of comedians and friends I didn't care that it didn't do well It was just there was just something about it that wasn't leaking. It wasn't a song and it wasn't a song or was a scene. It was a scene and they're quite worthy jokes and it was potentially a bit sort of like. One issue was that people weren't laughing. Yeah. It was one big issue for us when that happens and you've been surprised how often it does. And why we were trying to make that sketch work for 1999,

we were also watching a lot of the lonely island and being really impressed by how they went about what they went about on YouTube. And then I think I forget who it was, but someone said, why don't we make it a song and see how that works? And so that we changed it to bigger-to-build. Because we had the song thing, we were like, let's try to do songs in this. And if a sketch isn't quite clicking, let's always try a song.

A song, and we try to do that. We don't like to throw ideas out. Yeah, we always want to try and see how far we can push it and turn, you know, if something's not working, can we make it work? It's a big thing for us. And that was one of the prime example of that. And going off that, two sketches which we would never going to do and were actually written later became two of our more successful sketches from that series.

Yeah, yeah, that's right. Which was what was the other world? What do you think of this? And same time? Yeah. We got originally spent on the series. Because originally the pitch, we felt really bad about this when we pitched it to Screen Australia and they went, that's great, makers do that.

It had a lot more of a plot sort of, like we had an intro sketch that introduced to the world, it was like this cool song and it was a bunch of mini sketches and a big thing. And then the final sketch was like sort of another song that wrapped the whole thing up, why 2K happened and then like potentially we weren't exactly sure, but computers went crazy.

We realized that the Simpsons had done it so we were like oh we can't do that. And also family guy and we were like oh we don't want to do a Y2K joke that's already been done. And we'd written those and we did a reading of the series and they were the bits that everyone hated the most was the intro and the ending. So we went, let's just fucking make it a sketch series and make it as funny as it can be and don't worry too much about plot and continuity and that kind of thing.

So yeah, so we ended up putting in this same ties was just a gag. Tom. Tom just said we're a bit blue. I think the issue is for those of you who don't know blue so blue is like an old school comedy term The sort of references to a scene language or obscene ideas adult things where words really commit into this Brody is a 19 20s Brody's 19 20s game

It makes me think of a character. I've been wanting to work on for quite a few years Which is a 19 70s damsel in distress. Oh right, right. I've been tied to the train tracks. It's a, why thank you very much Jack Nicholson. Oh, sort of though that. I'll riff on it in a later podcast. Why thank you so much.

I've got this Italian man thing. I'll be back in a while. I've got a picture to you as that. Very cool. So Mark has this sort of Italian man thing. I've been working on it. I've got a picture to you. So Mark has this sort of Italian man character and thinks it's the only character who can really do. No, he's got others like antique Joe, people love antique Joe. People do like antique Joe. We've got to do bargain boys three and bring back antique Joe.

We've got a bit of money. We've got to watch things survive last night. The challenge was like you have to sort five different objects in the different piles and then remember the number of them and then go to a thing which tells you which order they're in and then use that information to loop ropes around matching tent poles. Jesus. To fucking cross over and then dig a hole to get the treasure. I'm like, this show is dumb.

Is this Australians? Yeah, yeah. I legitimately, I don't have TV at the moment because I can't be bothered finding the cord in my box. And I moved a year ago. But is TV good at the moment? I bet you can't find the cord in your box. Excuse me?

I said, I said, I bet you, you were fuck forget it I don't know what I want to have to defend myself. What's your name lady? Broden. Alright. Alright. Beautiful name for a beautiful woman. Thank you very much Mark. And you were having the most handsome man at the debut table. Oh Thank you very much, Broden Kelly. Yeah, where? Hey, do you want to go steady? Well, I'm not very good at speaking in the wording. What was the dialect?

Oh, yeah. How apropos. Yeah, the... I think it's dialect. The dialect, like the. What's the book? Shakespeare's book? Lexicon. I don't know.

I know a fair lady's lexicon. No, lexicon is the corporation. Idiot. It's Luther Ones in Batman vs Superman Dawn of Justice. Shut up nerd. Nerd. Hey. Stop.

Pop culture has become very pop. The comic culture has become very popular in the last couple of years and we're no longer nerds. We're now it's a real legitimate art form and I will be at PAX and I'll be working at the insert coin booth for three hours. If you want to come check that out. Oh wow. Get mad nude.

Anyway, what were we talking about? Let's talk about breakfast goat. Oh my God, Zacharwayne just steered the podcast. Well, I'm trying to think of some other sketches that got cut. We had a bunch of sketches that got, we've got a pretty high burn rate when we're writing sketches. Our Tom's going to say somebody's going use my sketch um can't at a party I love I can't at the party which was the whole idea was about that that can't

who when everyone's having a good time listening to Beyonce he unplugged the iPhone pulls out his acoustic guitar ukulele or accordion and then starts performing for the party and everyone was just having a good time dancing to Beyonce that fucking cunt. So we had a sketch about that didn't really work because it wasn't said it could have worked. I don't know what it should ever yeah we should think every time we put it in front of anyone they didn't laugh. That's very true. That's true. No, that is a strong argument for why we should keep us doing it But maybe it's because they're wrong

um and And yeah, and so there was that one we had one called that Zach mentioned before called breakfast go Which is a which is a very I don't know about this sketch, I still, there's something there, but I don't know what it came to me in a fever dream one night. And essentially, the idea is, some abroad and comes up to, no, Zach comes up to Mark, I think, the characters, and goes, hey you what's for breakfast and their songs that And I know we haven't agreed on what lunch ladies was isn't it?

Well, that's what it was in 90. Yeah, we added that later because this was the original I'm sure it was sort of a tie in the potentially the lunch lady from the end of Okay, well cocaine yeah, yeah, was going to be in this. Yeah. Yeah. And what and then a song would just start. A boom. A boom. We got milk eggs, eggs and milk, a bread and butter and milk and actually got cereals. A milk and eggs bread and butter. And we got eggs. We got cereals and some eggs. We got milk and eggs and some eggs we got milk eggs and some bread we got cereals yogurt and milk and I've got this goat I've got this goat look at the goat here's the goat we got milk and eggs we got bread milk and this goat say hello goat We got eggs milk and a goat. Hello. We've got eggs, milk, and a goat.

Hello. What are your ones? Look at the goats. And then, then Zach would go, what was, and then Zach went, oh, no, I kind of feel like waffles, do you want to do that line? I don't remember it. You go, oh no.

I don't know, he just said it to you. Yeah, I just said the line. Do you remember this line? Oh yeah. Just for the record, the goat, the goat was a brood and a horse. Yeah, more of a the last thing you remember this line. Oh yeah, just for the record, the goat was a broden voice. Yeah, more of a broden voice, not the lady voice. What do you do it? What have you do it? Oh yeah, okay. Hello. Like that.

Right, hello. And then every time I mentioned the goat, you cut the goat and it would be broden dressed as a goat and it just go, hello. And then Zach would go, I don't really feel like any of that. I feel like waffles. Yeah, I feel like waffles yeah like waffles and then someone come in well then I'll ride the ghost to the supermarket and we'll buy you some waffles because he's a goat and we'll get on the go and ride him down to the supermarket and buy your waffles because I love this goat and the goat can fly

and the goat will take me into the sky and will fly away into the clouds and maybe we can have some hash browns and all this just that face out. Sometimes we get put in a subreddit on reddit called not Timonero and it would be the number one, not Timonero because the visual... If it existed... I don't know if this was part of the song or just what I saw as soon as I heard it

But the visual was that our sitting on the goat yeah, and then floating away into the sky And it would have been the greatest sketch of all time if you think this that sketch is a good sketch or a bad sketch Let us know because maybe we'll make it one day. I'm still unsure. I don't know what it's saying. Yeah, I don't know what I'm saying. I'm just wondering if we can get in a goat flies away. If we ever get a TV show, anywhere like a sketch show, I imagine that's gonna eventually be in it.

It's gonna have to be in it. It's season three. That's gonna be a narrative as well, quite easily. Yeah, yeah, do put the pressure on Twitter. Sam's the biggest hater of breakfast go. So just sort of if we can get on Twitter and tell say he's on social media this week, we've worked on it this early. Sam doesn't release this in four weeks.

Sam doesn't like it, Broden likes it, Tom likes it, Zach really likes it. I don't have confidence in my own ideas, so I don't like it, Brodon likes it, Tom likes it, Zach really likes it, I don't have confidence in my own ideas, so I don't like it. So get on Twitter and cyberbullys him. Yeah, cyberbullys him. Why don't you try it again? Unless you think it's a stupid idea. What's the joke? Just tell Sam what's the joke.

It doesn't matter, it's the greatest sketch of all time. I think the joke is that he's saying, for me the joke was, there's only about four things in the fridge for breakfast, but then he's also, so he's going, we've only got milk, eggs, butter and bread, but I'm gonna make a whole song about it, offer them to you many times. And then also what I have is this goat.

The joke is, is fucking sick, can't. It's absurd and silly, and then he goes, no, I don't really want any of those things. I want something else. And then he's like, well, then let's use the goat to get those things, but then the goat flies. It was a dream. I was really?

I see. Yeah, I woke up one morning from Edinburgh and I had this dream that there was a goat in our Edinburgh apartment apartment and I was offering exact breakfast foods. Yeah, so that's why I like breakfast goat, but that's that's the but I don't know if I like it because I hate myself and my own. Yeah, I was really happy with 1999. I was I had severe severe stress and anxiety about a big bad. I thought I really, up to the point where we put the first sketch up, bigoted bill, I really didn't know how it was going to go.

Yeah, because we had never done, that was actually the first time we'd ever released that much content in a row. It was kind of our first, like, Rumpus Room was sort of a sketch series, but it was more a like short form television show. This was the first time we'd ever written a whole bunch of sketches as a series that had kind of one look and then released them and you know planned about 15 weeks of content. So it was super scary for us. And I give it, if it didn't get a response on the first one, that would have just been an awful three.

Yeah, and we set ourselves a goal we were like at the time more only on about 65,000 subscribers. We said we would love to get to 100,000 subscribers. We thought that would be crazy, but we would love that. And we would really love if every sketch got 100,000 views. And the response to it was so exceeded all of our expectations. It was huge. Like, bigger to build the most watch video from that series, it's on almost 800,000 hits.

All of them are pretty much on or over 200,000. Like crazy, crazy, crazy response. And so positive and so overwhelming for us. It was beautiful. It was beautiful. So yeah, we're just about to start. We're just about to start writing another YouTube series. So I think this has actually been good for us

to discuss this. Yes, very much. Yeah, we've got a couple of ideas. He's got to be in it. It would make sense in that series, actually. It would make sense in any series. Well, I think it's great to sketch ever. As that web series is probably going to be a tenth

of the funding, it probably will make it in. Yeah, that's true. That's true. Yeah, we're funding this next one ourselves. So that's what we've got coming up for you, cats just by the way. We're working on that. We assume that most of you are cats.

Yeah, yeah, we understand that we've got a lot of V-line fans. Yeah. And so, do you think the age of print media is dead? I think it's I think it's going to be dead. It's not dead yet. I feel like it's clutching onto straw. I think what you're talking about here is I think the age of print media as we know it. The print media as a boutique service. Do you believe it? Yeah. It is not. You're talking to smash my head against this microphone. Theat is not dead. I think Print Media night died,

but as long as we don't lose our journalists, we're all in your bleeding. And they're in some way in the underworld. And I think the Bureau of Investigative Journalism in the UK, there's similar organizations throughout the world prove that Print Media or at least the tenants of Print Media will survive just not in the form we know.

Zack knows too much about shit, no one cares about. So what we're writing is... You know what Mark? We're writing a... You know who does who does care or all the people that have Mark can you tell us about the new DC Batman Revolt? Absolutely so basically what's happened is Ben Affleck is going to be right everybody. Good night everybody. Just like if people like this recap and it's called the Like the recap thing that is like the villain. serious the villain is going to be death stroke, which is a really interesting villain if you like the recap, let us know.

It's not a straight call death stroke. That's different. So he's a play by magic Mike's hot friend. Yeah, yeah. So so what's going on? I'm also going to watch different things. It's all part of the DCU, which which sort of started with man and steel. It's going and you've been listening to the Antidona podcast.
