All right, we've got many things brewing.
There's a lot of things brewing.
Sam Clark's here.
Sam Clark's wife is in the corner.
Welcome to your part of the podcast at any point.
So much like my own wife's contributions to the podcast.
The ladies, you've made a great sandwich.
And that is one of the many ideas that I've had.
So I'm about to go off on this tour.
This is the first thing.
Well, how to begin?
How to begin?
How to begin?
Hello, everybody.
Welcome to the show.
James and Forbes McCann, Cadamaran, Plan.
special guest visual element on the audio only podcast Sam Clark
Hello
Come on
Now the important what I want to say is
I've got all these things that we're working on together
The SOC video that's coming along
Slop Farm should be out very soon
Hopefully by the time that people hear this
Hopefully by the time and you've done some wonderful work on Slop Farm
Do you want to tell the people anything about Slop Farm
No I don't think so
Okay no good good good good
So that's coming out soon
we finally got advertising for the podcast
this is the final episode
of the podcast without advertising
that I'll be reading out
and some people out there
for other podcasts
you know what they'd be saying
they'd be going
oh no ads root
but people love that we're on the road to the boat
so they love that proper advertising
I've got I hold the copy
I printed that out at the local library
did you?
Yeah you have no idea
how convoluted it is
to print out three pages of black and white
paper there
but it is amazing.
They handed me a binder
full of information
as to how to use the printer
and I did actually have to use
the information in that binder.
I thought I know how to print
but they,
it wasn't set up well.
Want me to personalize it?
We'll be personalizing.
Don't worry about it.
This will be pretty personalized.
I wonder how long we can do
on this commercial.
Some people would like to limit it to one minute.
They're paying us for one minute.
Guess what?
They're probably getting more than a minute.
Okay.
We've got advertising on the podcast.
We've got a new comedy,
unspecial,
we're calling it.
What's,
yeah.
Slop farm.
Slop farm.
Like,
it's,
yeah.
Slop video.
Slop time.
Slop.
Slop.biddy slop.
Slop.
Slap.
We got other,
here's what I want to say.
Because people,
I mean,
this is probably the last time
we're going to have an opportunity
before the acceleration,
before the professionalization and acceleration,
to have people who,
already with us in on what's happening.
You know what I'm saying?
This is pre-bloom.
The door, the door's closing, the flower's opening.
We close the door, door close.
Another flower opens.
It's been an emotional day for me.
I'm not doing a good job on the podcast because my,
anyway, it's been an emotional day.
We've had this extra child and we love him.
And I came back from Perth.
I saw Josh Spiro.
Oh, man.
All right, here are some ideas I've been having of late.
Like I'll be coming back from, I'm doing this to in America.
Hopefully I come back with a bunch of money.
We have the money to make the movie.
There's a possibility that we have quite a lot of money in the near future.
Like actually, probably enough for the boat and then some.
I can see that.
I can see that in our future, Sam.
But I have all these other ideas.
Plans, if you will.
It's got to, your wife, soup and sandwich business.
Simms soup and sandwich
Triple S
pronounced
S
Come on down to
Sim soup and sandwich
For sure
Can you see that?
My wife would love that
Well I've been thinking a lot about a sandwich restaurant
And then that sandwich was great
And it just would be
Something about Australia
Something about
Do you know what I'm saying
I feel like we're in a moment
In this country
where people are ready for like tuck shop vibe.
You see what I'm saying?
Pauline.
AI, nostalgia, 90s, tazos, Samboys.
That sandwich we just had is like a perfect...
If we had that sandwich,
it was beetroot, avocado, shredded carrot, carrot.
There was some lettuce in that sandwich?
Ham.
Not mordella.
Excuse me, not ham.
Mortadella.
That's the modern twist.
The modern ham.
The modern ham.
And ham stands for,
have a mototerelle.
What was it?
Mortadella.
It's a ham sandwich.
Have a mortadella.
But I really,
I'm ready to get into the restaurant business.
I've been rearing to get into the restaurant business for a long time.
So let's think about that.
other thoughts I just think all day
I look at business ideas
I see business opportunities
my friend Max Kneebone
he works
he has a job
I'd like him to have a brewery
he loves brewing
wouldn't it be nice if he got to brew it would be nice
but I think it would be a net negative
given his job is like
really helping people who are in
some serious need of help
and by giving him his brewery
that's one less
that's more people who are
burnt who don't have that
getting drunk and getting burnt? No I just
mean like he's now helping people
with burns is his current job
and if you gave him a brewery
there's one less person who can help
people who are getting burnt. I don't think there's any limit
to the number of burns
helpers.
Here's what I would say. I would think
that
and I don't, I've never seen Max at work on the
Burns Ward but I believe
that another person in the world somewhere
could cure or
treat a burn the way he's treating the burn.
I'm not saying he's not doing it great,
but I bet there's a fungibility to burns treatment in the abstract,
which is what he's doing now.
But I think no one could make the beer that he's going to make,
the way he thinks about it, the way he works on it, you know?
I think there's more creative possibilities in beer.
You want to kind of do a burns treatment by the book.
You don't want the guy coming and going,
I've got an exciting new idea for,
your burns.
But you need the new burns person to be like,
have,
want that beer and feel good about having that beer.
Like,
maybe that's the step up.
I couldn't agree more that.
And imagine if you've been cured of your burns,
get to go and have one of those fancy new Max beers
on your legs that now work,
you know?
Everyone's still being helped.
I would like,
was there a big scream there?
It was a train.
I see.
A book deal.
I'd like to give a couple friends a book deal and start a publishing house,
and I'd like us to have a printer.
We need a printer.
I would love to do a coffee table book.
What's in a coffee table book?
Behind the scenes, pictures of us through the years.
Nice.
I love it.
You've started making.
You've got a collection.
I've been, yeah, because I got the drop box.
I don't know.
I sent you the first drop box link,
That feels like a big step in our...
Yeah.
Are they all by you or other people taking...
There's other people.
There's other people things.
Was Andy Warhol's Polaroids.
He went around with the Polaroid camera and it's just Polaroids that Andy Warhol took.
And there's a big version of that book that's more expensive and a smaller version of that book, which has fewer Polaroids.
But all the Polaroids from the small one are in the big one, but not vice versa.
So I was at the art gallery and I was looking through both of them.
And I was seeing which ones they had cut from...
The big book going out and the small book.
And the sexual ones, they were all cut.
You got it by the big book for, you know, Andy Warhol
taking a picture of two people in the shower.
He was doing that kind of stuff.
Oh, he was just like, you know, people were his house.
And he would like open the shower and take a Polaroid.
And he'd be like giving him a thumbs up.
Hey, Andy.
He got O.J. Simpson in there.
Andy Warhol was just walking.
It's O.J.
I love Andy.
This has been a big thing for me is, uh,
I read Andy Warhol.
book, The Philosophy of Andy Warhol, from A to B and back again.
It's really fun.
And it's really made, it's opened my eyes.
The museum is coming along.
And I think a lot of these...
Can you explain the museum thing to me?
Yes, I can.
People deserve to have the museum explained.
I'm afraid of the AI.
I don't know how you feel about the AI.
We don't use it.
No, yeah, I just don't really interact with it too much.
I did ask some questions the other day,
and it sort of helped me clarify what I was thinking.
I find I can't use it without just demanding it, say, something racist.
And it never...
I managed to resist that somehow.
I'm not doing it, and I go, come on!
Do it!
It won't do it.
It won't do it.
Wow.
But eventually, no matter what I start out asking AI,
I just when I feel like it's lying to me or twisting,
you know, it'll start with me going,
what's a good recipe for duck?
And then it ends with me going,
say they were in the Stone Age.
Say it was the Stone Age.
Why won't you say it?
No, it won't say it.
But I, look, look,
so I am worried about the AI.
And I was thinking about what,
well, I had a vision and I wrote a,
actually wrote about it.
But the vision is what I see in my,
vision. There's been a flood. There's been a lot of water. And I'm standing on the high ground
in a village. Like what was a village in a valley is now an archipelago because the water's come up.
And those of us who were on the high ground, we get to keep going. And those who built their
homes down in the valley have been destroyed by the flood. Now the flood is the AI and the
mountain tops,
which is the new islands,
those are the things that can sustain AI,
that won't be done by the AI.
You see what I'm saying?
So like entry-level legal work,
the AI is just going to do this.
Sorry, you're down there in the water.
Owning a museum,
AI can't do that because real objects have a vibration.
And I'm saying that the museum,
the opportunity to pay and go on look at new object,
vibrationist object.
If I say, hey, I've got the knife.
It's on a plinth.
And it's the knife that the first semi-sambuage professionally
opened up.
It was the first knife at that restaurant.
People would want to come and see that knife after that restaurant.
I mean, I just take it back.
If it was the first, I mean, I'm just thinking about things.
Food, you know.
McDonald's spatula.
ever.
The first one.
At the first McDonald's restaurant,
the first spatula that was used to turn a McDonald's patty, ever.
I think I'd pay $5 to look at that spatula.
I'd pay $5 to go into a room that had 30 or 40 things like that spatula.
And I have paid that money before.
I paid to go into the Billy the Kid Museum,
see an ash tray from the 1920s.
AI can't do that.
It's safety from the AI.
Okay.
A van Gogh.
I'm going up and down
in highbrow lowbrow
what could
you know what could be in the culture
but there are there are things
that would be nice to go
you go ooh
not a relic
not a saintly thing
you know
although that you know
because you can't buy
and sell them
but there are things
we'd all like to see
I don't know who you're
so you love
Nigella Lawson's
cameraman
yes
whose name is
Neville Kidd
what if we had a pair
of his shoes
you wouldn't want to go
and see Neville Kidd's shoes
Yeah, I mean
Yeah, I suppose I would
Someone said, we've got Neville Kidd's shoes in here
Can I have a dollar?
You'd go
How often am I going to get to see Neville kids' shoes?
All right.
There'd be something about you
It would mean something to see it
Maybe not the shoes
Maybe his arm
Do you know what I just
I sort of know
I'm trying to think of like
What would I go and pay to see
Well that's the purpose
That's what a plinth is for
it tells you what you've come to pay to see
yeah
because it's not on the floor
it's on a table that only exists
to raise it up to be seen
and by something going on a plinth
it gets plinth value
this is a thought that my friend lucian
who actually I don't know very well but I'd really like to be friends
with lucian
she was talking about she did a show I think in the fringe
about plinths and the power that plinths have
over us all and it's really got me thinking about
the power of the plinth.
If it's on a plinth, it's worth seeing.
And we then get to decide
what the plinth gives electricity to.
People want...
It's called the Museum of Greatness.
I mean, I could...
Right now. Right now.
Right now. Right now.
What about right now?
I mean, I look around your house.
I see beautiful...
I see beautiful. There are beautiful things all over this house.
That vase.
You know, at the moment,
it's a vase.
It's a nice vase in a room.
If it were on a plinth.
Hmm?
So who's determining what plinths will be used?
The plinths or what goes on the plinths?
No, the plinths themselves.
Well, that's, I mean, we would usually have an open,
creative conversation about a thing like that.
You and I, yeah?
But I can see, like with Organauer, it took,
I feel like organ hour took some convincing.
Organa took no convincing
I knew exactly what you wanted to do
from the moment that we spoke about it on the podcast
you then continued over the next weeks
to be like
oh you just don't get organ hour
I then deliver organ hour
to exactly exactly
if not better than the specs you set out
and I'm still now being accused
of not understanding organaer
but the museum of graham
of greatness. Here's what I would love to see as a museum of greatness or instead of the
Museum of Greatness. Okay. Regurgitator. You know how they had the thing where they were like in
the mall or they were somewhere for, you know, and they were doing the album. And they were in like a
glass cube and everyone could come and see them recording that album for however wrong that that took.
I would love to see that exact set up with multiple rooms that you could see in past Perspect Glass of
people restoring
antique objects and cleaning
really dirty rugs
and things like that.
I like this.
But do we then see the rugs?
Well, yeah.
Like, you see, like, it's like a live stream
or it's like a big brother,
but it's like people restoring and cleaning things.
Like a dirty rug that then you go,
whoa, look, it's now looks heaps better or, you know.
So like on YouTube, how you,
I'm guessing that you're watching this thing.
on YouTube because I know people who, you know,
there'll be a rusted thing, they paint, they sandblaster.
Yeah, there's a hole in a Louis Vuitton bag, like,
okay, let's re-canvass that bag.
All right, so you're saying sort of a theatre
when you just watch, like an operating theater.
Yes.
But with seats like a theatre play.
Well, yeah.
You think important to have a glass wall?
I think so.
I think the people doing the cleaning need to live there 24-7 while this is happening.
it be like a big brother situation with those people that are doing the cleaning?
They're working in shifts?
No, I don't think so.
I think this is their dedicated.
Slaves?
I think depending on how well they do with their object, they can be remunerated to a degree,
you know, to a percentage of, you know, what it's sold for or what the value now is.
There's a term for this.
When the church would board people up.
And someone would go, I want to just be in this room forever.
And they'd go, cool.
And they'd put a wall up.
Entombed.
Like on the church, they would entomb them.
Yeah.
So like, at our church, like, there's a side chapel.
So it'd be like, oh, there's a lady in there.
And they just build a wall in front of it.
And you just always know that there's an anchorite.
They're called anchorites.
And, you know, she's in there.
Maybe there's a little hole.
And maybe like once a year, she opens up a little window.
and you can go and listen to
or maybe all members of the public
different anchor rights, different rules
but people can come to them and say,
what are you thinking about in there?
Any new ideas?
What's going on?
Do you have anything you wanted to share with it?
There have been,
I think the last anchorite was in like the 60s,
but it used to be more common.
And there are women who are shut-ins.
Yes.
You know, who are, it's mostly women,
but what do they call that?
People who are afraid of going out.
Agoraphobic.
What if you could be agoraphobic for God?
It's an anchorite.
but I'm saying an anchorite for fixing a Louis Vuitton bag
yeah well that's see that that sounds like an exhibition to me
okay like if it was an art gallery an art museum
it could be like here's a live art piece
go and have a look at man who's living here
for a week just for a week don't make it more than
regurgitator only had to make and have them in a week once
then they stopped
I don't know why I'm seeing this is like a real
as a farm
No then why
I'm saying what the museum is
It would be nice to be able to pay
I like the museum that we have in Adelaide
I do like it
I like the art calorie
Yep
I think it would be nice to have
More places that you could
Go it's a Saturday
We've got a lot of food options
We've got a lot of places to eat
We've got a lot of shopping options
But you can go to the cinema
Have you even a play
Maybe even the beach
Maybe a nature walk
But there's something about
We're going to
See the
Museum of Greatness
There's something new on a plinth
Something a little exciting
I think that's a gift you give people
It's like show business
I think this thing of show
The thing of having a show
You know
With stand up
I have to get my ass together
I have to get on a jet plane
I have to get up on time.
If I miss it, I need to buy a Jet Star flight.
I need to fly as happened recently.
And I have to fly all the way to Perth.
You should slap it or have a nap.
Slop it over there.
Do a show.
Sit down.
Do a show.
Sit down.
Do a show.
Sit down.
Eat some Chinese food.
Go to bed.
Fly back.
What if the show never left?
What if the show was always going?
And it was the museum.
A museum is a kind of show business, is what I'm saying.
This would be based in Adelaide, would it?
The Museum of Greatness?
I think Adelaide would be the perfect place for the museum of greatness.
I've just jarred my finger on the chair, pointlessly.
Did you see that happen?
I did, yeah.
It was bizarre.
Yeah, Adelaide.
Adelaide, because I think it's a gift to our town
that you would want something of such international quality
that people would come from far afield.
Hello, we come out to look at a museum of greatness in Adela.
MoMA.
Mona?
Oh, Momama.
The Museum of Old New Art.
There are museums that, the Louvre.
People go to the Louvre.
Yeah, I've heard of the Louvre.
They just did it.
And you go all the way to Paris and go, why are you in Paris?
You go, well, I reckon I'm going to look at the Louvre.
Did you want to see the Schoenzel?
No, mostly the Louvre.
But why wouldn't we have our Louvre?
They're looking for the Moog?
That you do have that going for you.
The mug.
The mug.
We mug.
Wow.
We can move on.
I don't know.
Look, it's cool.
Hey.
You know.
If you don't see the museum, you don't see the museum.
You saw organ hours so clearly.
Oh, you don't get to say that now.
You don't get to pretend like, no, no.
Here's what I see.
I see tickets.
I see velvet rope.
I see beautiful carpets.
I see crisp walls.
I see lovely, lovely lighting.
I see a gift shop.
I see.
It's just what I see.
I see an old man in a dark suit.
He's the security guard.
White gloves.
Asking people to take a step back,
but being good about it.
I think we'll know we've made it
when just up oil decides to glue themselves to the organ.
That's how, that's what I'm saying.
That's good press.
So why wouldn't we, we start them.
museum. We have the first day of the museum. That's a big hit, right? We just leverage that.
This is, this is the people just come because there's a new museum. I'll promote it.
We'll leverage everything we've got. There's a line around the block. You know, first day of the
museum. I can see it now as a marketing. Small museum in town, but whatever, a thousand people
come to get into this to the museum. Big line. You get footage of huge, I can't.
Imagine seeing that in Adelaide.
The longest lines you see in town are people trying to buy gold in Sydney
or Asians waiting for a new shoe.
Asians love waiting for a new shoe.
But this is for a museum.
People never seen lines like this for.
So the second day, of course, the news, they're covering,
there's Channel 7, they're going,
a new museum is opened in Adelaide.
Look at the line around the block.
What's in the museum?
Oh, we couldn't tell you.
You have to come and see it yourself, but it's great.
Next day, second day, people have seen that new story.
You get the mainstream people coming in.
That's big.
That's big.
It gets you on the map.
But what happened?
What you do that day to get people in on the third day?
Just stop oil come in.
They glue themselves.
We organize, we say, come on.
Come on.
No one's looking.
It's time to glue.
Then we get international coverage.
A new museum.
just its third day.
And like, but that's the regurgitator moment.
That's the moment where you put up the perspex,
the perspex sort of box around the Justop oil gluing protest,
and then you let that be a object of greatness.
I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to, I agree,
but this is what I'm saying.
Maybe there are a lot of nice objects in the museum,
and Justup Oil destroy or damage, a lot of them.
And then the war goes,
up, okay, the perspex, the glass.
And we're watching, yeah, the healing of those objects.
Is that what you're saying?
I'm saying that we had a little bit of a ton bag.
It got destroyed.
And now, over the next week, come and see a man repair that.
That's awesome.
I do love that.
What I was sort of saying is, just up, well, come in.
The young lady glues her hand to the organ, the organ, our organ that's there.
At that point, we have it all ready to go.
Four men come out with four.
Perspect walls,
Perspex walls,
and we entomb the Justup oil lady,
and now she's the anchorer,
and she's glued to the organ,
what's she going to do?
Is that a prisoner?
That's a prisoner.
But that's a museum thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no, no.
This is all planned.
This is all planned.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But a space where you could plan,
you could have excitement,
and people go,
oh, I wonder what the plan is down.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because you know what the plan is down at the state museum?
It's just, we've got those,
We've got those
We've got a wall full of didgeridoo's.
They're not moving.
No one's trying to destroy.
There's no drama.
You're not allowed to play them either.
No, no, no, especially not ladies.
Make you go barren.
I love this chair.
I've never noticed this chair before.
This is a very like,
what is this?
70s chair?
80s chair?
It's got real design.
It's got great design.
You were going to sell this chair?
Yeah.
I wish I'd known.
You had this chair ready for sale before I bought my office chair.
I bought an IKEA office chair.
Have you been back to IKEA since we last?
I need to buy this office chair.
Okay.
It looks like my...
But you've managed to stay away since then.
Well, it's been pretty...
It's been a busy...
I haven't had any time to do nothing.
Because we've got a new baby.
And I've been in bloody...
Where have I been?
I've been all over.
I'm sorry.
And that's why the podcast has been slow.
It's my first.
fault but it's really starting up i mean sloppy slip slip i so i so believe in slip slip slipie top
the restaurant simisada soup and sandwiches drive-through sandwich restaurant
northeastern suburbs
ermina northeastern suburbs
Morialta

A
Tea tree plaza

si miso soup sandwich
It has to be a little closer than that
I would think
towns like you want somewhere where people are really driving
really doing some driving
but I think the northeast is more like
aspirational in that way
Paradise.
Drive-thru.

Because one of our favorite comedians.
ever in the whole world, Brad Hollis.
Yeah.
Simi once offered Brad a BLT and said to Brad, would you like a BLT?
And he paused for a moment, had a real moment of thought and said to himself,
Bacon, lettuce, tomato.
Yeah, yes, I would.
Thank you.
We are trying to track Brad down again.
Brad.
Brad is number one.
Brad, we love you, we miss you.

Better have that sandwich in there.
You get one more sandwich.
Yeah, the sixth is the monthly rotation special sandwich.
Well, then let's make it seven.
Because that's S2.
Because I think you need a vegetarian sandwich.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think you do.
Sam, you don't think you need a vegetarian sandwich?
No, I think you do.
I'm just trying to think what it would be.
I'd love a potato bake sandwich.
Chippy sandwich.
Chippy sandwich?
Chippy sandwich?
That's like potato bake, effectively.
You'd like baked potato in the sandwich?
What's Andy Cooks?
Potato bake.
Chips?
Chips in a sandwich?
Sandwich chips.
You know Andy Cooks?
No.
He's a YouTube guy, chef.
Yeah.
It's great.
But he released Red Rock.
They did how they do their chef chips?
Yeah.
Potato bake crisps.
Yes.
because you do white braided butter and you're hearing this this is a good idea we're going to have money for this idea
this is good yeah i still stand by as a first stop to doing this i still think no choices
you can have each one of these sandwiches one thing at a time build up the see first this is my business
model i'm just going to quickly set this is my idea right now coming to me start with the city start
with the city people okay get the city people
people. Hey city people. Cool urban trendsetters.
Magazines writing stories about it. All the top cool people buying the tea towels,
sandwiches, super samper. Then, then you go suburban. Then you go, we got the six seven sandwiches.
Six seven. The kids love it. You take those sandwiches. In the city, you go off a one at
the time. That's the sandwich you get in. But then, in the suburbs with the drive-thru, get six or seven.
And it's a drive-thru, but it's the same sandwich.
If you could have a drive-thru, Lucia's number one,
go and drive-off and get it most days, I reckon.
Drive-through, when you're driving, when you're driving,
you can't get out of that car for whatever reason.
When you're driving, you just want something.
Sometimes you go, isn't there anyone who can give me something
that won't kill me without leaving my car?
Something for the kids?
Something for the soul.
Somewhere where there's a museum.
Drive-thru a museum?
Here's the third location.
Museum cafe.
Yep.
People love taking a break on their museum.
I might have to go to bed.
You're tired.
It's been a bad day.
I think that's a good reset.
I think that's a good slope.
Slow one goes back.
Slop Farm out now.
Check out Slop Farm.
Slop Farm.
Next week's episode, season three.
Yeah, yeah.
No, season two continued.
Mid-season break.
Did you see the UK SNL have a show now?
I did see that.
I saw an advertisement for that.
Yeah.
They've worked so hard on it.
And there's some nice people involved.
Who we met.
We met a lot of the people involved.
Did we?
Bella was working on it.
We met her at the Sam Campbell gig.
And there's a couple other people working on who we met when we were in the UK.
I think Finn must have been writing on it because some of the jokes were so obviously Finn Taylor jokes.
I wonder why they struggle.
over there in the UK to make funny things,
like in a mainstream sense,
because there's so many funny people there.
There are.
So you're asking is what's wrong with them?
What's wrong with the,
I mean, it's a similar problem that we have here.
What's wrong with the mainstream outlet of comedies?
Like, why?
I was thinking the other day,
that show, that last one laughing shows,
what's called?
Man, I wish I was on that show.
You would do well on that.
If I could get on the season two,
the Australian version of that show, I'd win.
I wouldn't make any way of life.
Yes, there was.
Oh, dear.
And no disrespect.
Walid Ali didn't have you going.
They have.
I don't laugh very much.
No.
It's a problem when I have people on the podcast that I don't laugh.
You don't have to laugh.
For a comedy podcast, it is unusual to have a guest on and for the host to not.
I mean on this podcast, I don't think there's been maybe people listening have been laughing, you know, but this is not a room full of loud laughers.
For people working in the comedy industry?
It's a very sullen environment here at Sam Clark's studio.
Sad.
Sim Sam.
It's a very critical environment.
Sim Sam.
No.
Hey, actually on that note, can I bring something up?
Yeah.
I think you need to have your haircut.
What haircut are you angling for?
I, so I don't want to get involved that far.
Okay, you just think I need a haircut.
I think that, yeah, I think it's time for you to,
there's always something happens around that.
Okay.
Well, it's just something happening.
Yeah, I'm going to leave the moustache.
But this is the,
shave the beard off, this is all happening the next two days.
This is still the haircut from that famous photo that I really quite like on the Instagram,
like where you look, where it's like anime character style.
Yeah.
Triangle head.
is that right
this is still that from that
I don't know
maybe yeah yeah
yeah yeah
this is just grown out
the website land page
yeah yeah yeah yeah okay wow
so you think time
that was a what
you do you do what you think is right
it's time it's time I was gonna ask you
because I've got to
I gotta find a
I'm gonna be wearing some sort of outfit
when I do this America tour
and record whatever it is
and I don't really
I have I was thinking
big Steve Harvey suit
Steve Harvey
Oh
Not have you been paying attention
What was it
Time crunch
Jeopardy
Family business
Family business
Family beardness
What kind of family business
Family business
Now this movie
I mean I kept having
We both having ideas for the movie
We haven't mentioned the movie
But the movie's coming as well
I'm really excited for the movie
I've had like a bit of a
Second Wind in
The Pre
the pre-planning of it and thinking about how I might execute it and stuff like that and having
lots of good chats and I still I still not really sold on exactly how we're going to do it.
The dichotomy is like between a total gorilla like just run and gun everything.
Yeah.
And then the other end of that spectrum is like, you know, three trucks rock up every day with all
the gear and, you know, it's like super hyperplanned and I think it's the two do.
I think the bits that are in the bar and the bits that are in the tent we can be very careful with.
And I think everything else we run and gun.
Yeah.
I was leaning, really leaning towards the run and gun thing and just, yeah, being a bit flexible.
It's our first one.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm really open to it being bad.
I would rather it's not.
Yeah.
But like I will not.
I would rather have fun with it and do interesting, strange things and take chances.
I think as long as we're having fun
The thing is like, you know,
a film is such a,
it's such a baked cake.
It's not a,
it's not a museum where you can continue the curation
and refresh and,
well,
like,
you do it,
it's done.
It's only so much the editing.
You can help yourself.
But if you,
if you shot a flat shot,
that's a flat shot forever.
I don't really know what a flat shot.
Oh,
you know,
if there's no like,
life?
If there's no life to the shot,
if there's,
if you haven't,
like,
if there was enough time,
or you didn't realize a good way to like make it look as good as it could look
with the time allocated in the gear that you have like I hate just like going back
and looking at things and being like I had that thing and I could have made it better this
way.
I mean I'll always do that.
I'll always do that.
Well, I'm glad we're doing this one before Brad's glove and we can follow it up with
Brad's, but we'll learn.
My hope is that we learn.
Yeah.
You know, I haven't directed people in some time.
I've used to be, never on a, never in a movie, but only in plays and things.
And I do find it, I found it really challenging to direct and to get what I wanted out of people.
But I would sometimes get it with the play.
And my hope is that, because you only have to get it once the way you want it on a film.
How did sock come out?
Have you a look at sock?
It hasn't been.
Haven't been made, no.
Slop, then sock.
Slop and sock.
And the same with poetry clips
It's just like because of the way
So I should say
So we did a video of me reading some poems
And then halfway through I take off a jacket
And the amount of sweat coming off of my tits
Perfectly under where a man's breast would be
Rendered the video
Unwatchable
Which you can't watch it anymore
It would be like if there was a naked penis on the screen
it would be well that's that's pulling focus this is no longer what it was this is now
this is now about having a sweaty tit so I would like to actually break that down because
you know we we sort of joked about it afterwards I looked at it yeah but like on the night
and I said oh the tit sweat and then you said help me like you should have helped me
was there something I could have done on the on the day
should I've gone, when you're about to take off the jacket,
should I've gone,
James, keep the jacket on.
No, this is fun.
This is, uh,
what,
here's what you could have done.
You could have gone,
and a lull,
you could have gone,
Jimmy, Jim.
I could have gone,
yeah,
you could have gone,
we got to go to a,
we've got to go to an intermission.
We got to go,
just for the cameras.
And I would have gone,
oh, okay.
You didn't even have to lie.
You could just said,
it's intermission time.
We need an intermission right now.
I would have gone,
uh,
okay.
And you would,
have quietly and discreetly and so that no one could hear because the audience might have noticed
I had some sort of my teeth. It's on video very noticeable. In the room you see it once you forget it,
you move on after a while you go, I guess he does have a big sweaty tit. But you would have taken
me aside and discreetly said, there's a lot of sweat under your tit. Okay? It's, we're going
to need to put the jacket on for the rest of it. And I would have said, fuck, it's hot. Thanks for letting me
no and you would have
that's fine
and then we would have had a beer together
I would have had a beer
you would have watched me have a beer
and then we would have come back
as this happened many times
then we would have come back
yep all right
but if there's a thing like that
I think you just have to be
because we don't want them to know
no but you're always within your right
to bring it all to a whole
all right
now the answer is not for me to have an earpiece
I'm happy with you having a earpiece
everyone's got the earpiece
Maybe it is.
Hey, maybe the earpiece is cool.
I know you love the,
I've never seen someone happier with an earpiece.
I just,
I don't know what is inside me,
but just things get me going.
Like broadcast things that traditionally happen
when we put it in our pod.
I just get excited by it.
I don't think I can do stand up with an earpiece.
No, no, you can't do stand up with an earpiece.
You can't, no, no, no.
I could do an interview with an earpiece.
Yeah.
I think like it's like James Jam is earpiece kind of thing.
Something about the earpiece.
When I'm far away from you and things like that, possibly.
But there's, and we have the equipment to do that.
The listeners will not see that was a smile that Steve Harvey was unable to generate from Sam
was the thought of his friend wearing an earpiece.
That's where the love of the joy can.
I don't know what's wrong with me, James.
You love an earpiece.
Nothing wrong with that.
Sam McDonough said
Sam McDonough and Maggie said
you too.
You have an incredible synergy.
I thought that's really nice.
We have a synergy.
We have a great synergy.
I don't even know what that means
but it felt right like yes.
Would you please title this episode?
Synergy.
Yeah, eight S's and then synergy.
Synergy.
Yes.
I can see the shop
with a
Sandwiches are sold.
I see it.
See the shop where the sandwiches are sold.
She sells sandwiches by the seashore.
Drive-through.
Yeah.
Grainstripe,
Grainge, yeah.
Grange Beach striped.
We need to do a pod at a beach.
We need to do a pod in a car.
We need to do a pod on a treadmill.
I've started writing my bus takes for the bus takes.
Bus gives instead of subway takes.
Have you watched subway takes yet?
I haven't watched it yet.
It's just, have you seen subway takes, Sammy?
Yeah, he's always on a subway.
He's like, what's your take?
Yeah.
So I've been, so we'll get on a bus, we'll set up a camera,
we'll account for the vibrations of the bus somehow.
Bus takes.
And then I'm just writing out my takes.
One of which is Chinese is not one of the top five world cuisines.
Sorry, Chinese.
It's not top five.
That's, um, I don't know if I agree with that.
100% disagree.
Okay, Chinese for me is behind Indian.
Absolutely no doubt.
If a choice between Chinese and Indian,
Indian, if you can put one in a spaceship to preserve a future generation.
Indian.
Indian over Chinese.
What do the Chinese have to compete with garlic gnarling?
Nothing.
Sweet and sour eggplant.
Okay.
Samosas.
Now you could say spring lull.
I wasn't going to say spring lull.
I was going to say wanton.
I've got a trump card in my back pocket
that even if you pull out lemon chicken,
it's not going to top butter chicken.
Nothing beats butter chicken, nothing.
Yeah, it does.
Nothing beats.
Butter chicken is just orange slop.
I've never had.
You've never enjoyed your butter chicken?
There's been time.
This is really contentious in this household.
That's crazy.
Yeah, this is really big here.
because I had yet, my wife introduced me to butter chicken.
It's crazy.
In my 20s.
It's so expensive and you get nothing.
It's not expensive.
North Indian?
North Indian cuisine?
Beyond India?
It doesn't live in your memory.
Is this true?
I have a very bad food taste memory and it's true that I'll complain every time we go to get butter chicken
but at least 50, 60% of the time.
After I eat it, I'll be like, oh, that.
was really nice.
It's missing, it's missing the fresh element.
It is just like...
You get a yogurt.
You get the chutney.
You get the fresh bread, the roti.
Here's another one.
I'll give you another one over Chinese.
Vietnamese.
Surely we can accept Vietnamese.
Yep.
The sandwiches.
I will.
It's the best.
I'll accept that.
How about Italian?
You go Italian over Chinese?
Pizza over Chinese?
Jolato.
Yeah, I'd have...
Yes.
Come on.
So how many is that already over three?
I'm at three, but if you're not going Indian, I'll just keep going until I find someone to push out Chinese.
Because French, for me, French.
Okay, so I've never really interacted that much with any French.
A croissant, a baguette, beef bourguignon.
Oh dear.
Aratouille.
No, the French.
Well, we keep going.
Tex-Mex I got here.
I put that over Mexican.
It's good.
I go, I go, but I go text-mix over.
Yeah.
Because I've had mex and I go, huh, okay.
All right.
But when I go, yeah.
go our version of Mexican.
I love it.
Nachos.
Nachos.
Notcho's great.
Getting a bag of Doritos and some avocados and some sour cream and some colby cheese.
Yeah.
Sprinkle on top there.
And a couple of like jalapinos that have come in, you know, like the slightly pickled.
You know, you get the tub of jalapinos in the water.
Put a couple of them on there on the night.
Natchos.
The Basco and the nachos.
the salsa from like you get the salsa salsa from you get the Dorado I got
the Rio so I like that yeah yeah medium medium is a good one eh mediums a good one
but text mix to me is above China yeah so I think you've yeah I think you've made your case
well there and yeah even Thai green chicken curry I can't think of one I can't think of
even like if I'm going to go in Malaysian the Luxa is yeah the the queen
of soups.
I think of Minestrone as being the king of soups.
And Laksa as being the queen of soup.
You make a Mexican soup?
Simi makes a Mexican soup.
Make a Mexican soup.
Or back to an S again.
There's in Austin they had the soup peddler, which I love.
Soup monger.
Yep.
S&M.
Soupmonger.
It made me laugh.
I make myself laugh.
That's why I'd be no good on that show.
Soup monger.
sensational soups

It's soup sandwich o'clock.
Can you get soups only in...
We don't do a gazpacho in the summer months?
What's a gazpacho?
Cold tomato soup from Spain.
Is it only winter soups?
You know what I like is seasonal soup?
Like, you can own...
It's only open.
Like, on the first day of winter?
Bang.
The soup shop.
Soup cart.
Remember the pie cart?
Yeah.
Sups.
And you go, ooh, it's winter soup time.
People look for you.
to it. The McRib is back.
Is it?
No, it's the feeling you get to go.
Remember the McRib?
I kind of have a weird feeling about mass-produced soup or even just like, not mass-produced
factory, but like I don't like the thought that all the soup would be done in one pot.
Yeah.
I want each person's soup to be done individually.
charge a lot of money for that soup
and I like that
you know what I like one of my favorite soups
Borsh
Borsh
I love a borsh soup
Sounds like you're
like sort of abbreviating something
Folks need poulches
Holes need a bosh soups
That's a Vince Staples
The song lyric improved
Having a borsh
Having a borsh
Having a borsh
Oh, God.
Yeah.
Borsh.
We Borsh.
We Borsh.
Had to have a Borsh.
You get Bacherin in the Borsh?
What?
Like, what?
Borsh.
Bosh. Is that the name of the museum now?
B-R-S-C-H-T, I think.
Borsh.
Borsh.
Wow.
Borsh-N-B-B-S-E.
That's the Swedish chef.
Chinese beat Swedish for me.
I love IKEA.
I love the IKEA food, but Chinese beats me.
Well, I had the IKEA food for the first time with you the other week.
It was my first time the other month.
You had a good time.
And it was really nice and we've been back.
It beats butter chicken.
That $11 schnitzel beats butter chicken, obviously.
I don't think it beats Chinese.
What the heck.
I don't think it beats Chinese either, but it sure beats Indian.
You're crazy.
Is there a German soup?
Borsch.
No, no, that's a Slav soup.
SS.
All right.
Okay.
Podcast was getting better and better towards the end there.
Yep.
Have you ever done a sleep study?
This is something that I've been.
No.
What happens there?
Well, I've never done it, but I was thinking about doing it.
And they, like, you go to a place.
Is this for money?
And it's all, were they?
No.
Oh, no, no, no.
You pay for it.
Oh, okay.
No, that I like.
Yeah.
No, it's a, it's a, it's a,
I'd like to think we're making enough money now that you don't have to start doing medical tests.
Yeah.
You're not submitting yourself for medical tests.
Not anymore.
Not anymore.
Did you ever do that?
No,
I never do that.
It seems like something you would have thought about.
No, it stops at the medicine stuff.
Yeah.
But you'd let them,
you'd go into a room and have them watch you sleep for a few days
where they poke you with a stick.
Yeah.
But no,
but now I would do that for my own informational purposes.
You want to know how you sleep?
Yeah.
Get the app.
But what do you mean get the app?
There's an app you can get that you put on your bed,
you put your phone next to your bed,
you put your phone next to your bed while asleep.
And it tells you about how you,
sleep was.
It's like measuring the movements in the bed.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
It's cool.
That would be cool.
I don't.
Because my, yeah, because my mom, she got, um, she got, um, a sleep study done and said like,
you know, out of, in a minute, you, you stop breathing like over 60 times.
So every second she stops breathing.
But I don't understand that because, but also it's like, I'm not always breathing.
I breathe in
I wait
I breathe out
I got my blood pressure done
and I was thinking about that
with the second blood pressure number
which is your blood pressure between beats
and it was like
on the beats
great blood pressure
between the beats
it was high
but isn't that what it's doing
it's pumping
like you wouldn't you expect
I didn't know
I didn't have thought about
the pressure being different between
like I guess as it's pumping
it's flowing so it's higher
You know in Venus
The wind is very
Mild
But the air is 60 times thicker
Than earth
So even a mild breeze is very powerful
Did you know that?
How could I know that?
This has been yet another episode
Slop Farm out now
Made by Sam Clark
Written and Performed by
performed by James Donald Fawkes we can.
I'm going to go home.
I'm going to have a nap.
How about you?
I'm going to edit Slop Farm.
You're going to finish up Slop Farm?
Yeah.
I feel good and nervous, ultimately,
because this is showing Slop Farm listeners
is me doing comedy badly.
I did have a thought for the intro of Slop Farm.
You may not want to do it.
You know when Aboriginal people die,
they have viewers
that have been advised that this program contains
audio and video,
whatever it is,
of persons who have died.
I could say that,
but like jokes that have died.
Anyway,
we don't have to do that.
Because it's me doing comedy.
We did a bunch of shows,
and then there's like some bits
that didn't work or very local or strange or whatever.
So we're using that.
And that's the slop farm.
Because the good stuff has to be kept
for the special that's being recorded.
But you still deserve a little something.
Mm.
This is a rarity's b-sides, outtake type operator.
I feel vulnerable.
But I feel a little less vulnerable when I use my...
Anyway, we won't advise...
We won't...
So the next episode, I think after this top time, will just be me
reading this one-minute advertisement.
I'm not going to spoil it now.
This is going to be...
This is huge for us.
Huge.
All right.
Thank you.
