I've got a question for you.

Okay, well I'm ready. Okay, when was the last time you did something good for sponsor of the show Harry's Roses? Well, I guess the last time we did an ad was in a way good for them. Okay. I guess it didn't hurt them. Well, I've been contacted by the good people from Harry's and they are good people Yeah, and they've asked us to please stop doing ads for them really yeah apparently we were so successful last time Mm-hmm that they're they're just swamped they couldn't possibly sell another razor

Yeah, well, it's like when you couldn't possibly eat another peanut. Yes, do you? I've eaten a lot of peanuts in my time, Andy. By the way, I just want to say, when you said that they were the good people at Harry's Raysers, that's the kind of people you want handling racers. Is good people. Absolutely. You know.

They have really rigorous hiring policies. Yeah. And no one who's evil or even the slightest bit sort of stabby gets in. Oh yeah, Slacy. You don't want anybody Slacy. You check out the the resume and you know say Edward Garuth is one of your potential employees. If he's got the name Slacy and inverted commas between Edward and Garuth, he doesn't he doesn't make it in. No, or Not that they're profiling. No, or if he's talking about saying in his CV, there's like, you know, he says that he's really good with the Microsoft word sweet, you know, he, he's good at, he's done salsa dancing. Yes, and Slices a few faces, right? Not that you would be able to slice a face with once once the the blades are in a beautiful

Harry's Hoster and sure they wrestle them into that that safe format. I imagine a blade in its wild Involuntary it's absolutely a Mustang. You've got to break it before you can put it in there Not that their blades are broken. No, no, but if you were to break them, not that they're easy to break, they're not easy to break. No, exactly, that's why you need a professional. That's why you need to get a guy who's a professional slicer

to break these things open and then do more slicing. Anyway, it gives you a beautiful, clean shade. It actually does, I'm currently going back to just a moustache. And I've been using my Harry's razor on the remainder of my face. Andy. There's a part of it. That part of your face looks like you're a baby.

Yeah. But everything else is a man. I have, well, currently, two babies. And let me tell you, the hype is real, right? Believe the hype, they have smooth bottoms. But my baby you're third baby recently It just learned to talk and he he touched his own bottom and he said that's the smoothest dad's face Those are his first words. Oh my god. That's amazing. That's complicated

Yeah, no it is and just like just the image of a baby touching his bottom and saying something You know, it's yeah, it's graphic and interesting and I love it Anyway, Harry's raises is quite good. I think we're gonna be talking about a later talk about what this was information for you later Yeah, this is just a little this is just the 15 seconds Buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, b, b, b, b, b, b, b, b, b, b, b, b, b, b, b, b, b, b, b, b, b, b, b, b, b, b, b, b, b, b, b, pull up a one bat and crack yourself a wallero, because we're gonna get day on under with some... It puts your Billy in the bush fire. It's really not. It's really not have a hot cappab, Joe.

Joe, Joe. Joe is the name of the backpacker that you killed when you put in the bill. Oh, sorry. I'm actually too. Yeah. Hot cappab Joe. Joe is the name of the backpacker that you killed when you put in the Kappa So welcome everybody to the podcast where you know we're coming up with sketch ideas Yeah, it's a legal to eat another person. Absolutely, but is it illegal to drink another person? Well, I think we found a loophole.

I think a loophole. So smoothies are OK. Cannibalistic smoothies. A smoothie, exactly. Well, is a smoothie considered, I mean, with a good lawyer, I think you could get, you could, you know, because I think a bad lawyer would somehow, you'd lose a case where a smoothie was seen as drinking rather than eating.

Sure, sure. You've got to be able to argue that distinction. Absolutely. Because I mean, obviously it's thick. It's thick. But, you know, if you're getting it through a straw and, you know, sure, it's one of those straws with that little flat scoopy bit on the end. But if you're sucking, yeah, well, I'm sorry.

I mean, this premise, obviously, really is really resting on the hope that somewhere in the law, there is a, they forgot when they say that you can't eat a person, which I'm not 100% sure is illegal that you can't eat a person. Cause like, can I grab your hand? Can I ballism? What's your hand? Can I battleism?

What's battleism? Can I? Ballism, you're very good, Andy. In the law, does it actually say you cannot eat another person? Because if you can't, would it say be illegal for me to grab your hand and take that little bit of like kind of hardened skin next to your nails and chew on the

on your cladicles, chew on that and then swallow that. Would that be illegal? Is that like, is that kind of like legal in the same way that opening like your partner's mail is illegal? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha not so much a gray area of the law. It's what's called a brown area of the law. Oh, brown area. It's where it's just so distasteful that no one's ever really looked into it.

I see. So I could be getting away with this for years. Yeah, exactly. It's brown area. What can you do? I think it's okay to eat all the dead parts of a person. You know, so skin, hair. Why don't you do that?

Why do they have to kill a man? Yeah. Just to eat his body, that? What do they have to kill a man? Yeah. Just to eat his body, right? You've, there's so much eyelashes. Yeah eyelashes, you know, spit, all the spit that you kind of like. I lose, you lose like kilos of skin a year. Yeah, you should be allowed to vacuum a person's house

and then just eat the dust. Oh. I think, I think that's great. We have a few cannibal sketches. It's an ethical cannibal. I think it's, is it like that would be the equivalent of what's his name? A vampire guy in twilight, right? Because he's a good vampire. He doesn't eat the men or women. I think he sucks a lot of animals or something like that. So this is like that, right? If you're a cannibal, you can still do it

at a little or a dexter. You know, the serial killer, he only kills bad people. Obviously. Obviously, a cannibal and I only eat skin flakes from the floor. Yeah, or the parts that are already dead. So he goes, if I need hair clippings. Or like the eyes of a successful businessman Oh, I see yeah, yeah, or yeah, the um

The the the the the back part of the eyes because it's always behind the eyes that people are dead behind Yeah, you're right. You could eat the behind the eyes. Maybe the brain, I suppose Could you eat a brain dead person or just their brain? Just their brain. So, but I have got a line for our, but I also think that the drinking a person thing is something as well, right? I've got a line for our lawyer to use. if the smoothies not thick you must a quit You've asked a quick right? If the smoothies not nest quick you must a quick. Oh wait, that doesn't make sense You definitely made it worse. Yeah, well, I thought a quit had a I IQ I see you at I see K

I, I, I, Q, I see Q at, I see K. I see Q. Anyway, drink, person is being written down as a, sort of a second part of this other sketch where the guy has been finding legal loopholes so that I mean, I mean, finding legal loopholes doesn't seem like the most, like ethical, like ethical thing to do, but I think the idea of an ethical cannibal. Yeah. If you, if you stand up and you say, you're on a, I have found a legal lo-pull it might prejudice the bench.

Yeah. And you don't want to prejudice the bench. Yeah. I guess like getting people to, like if you, you can get cremated, you can get buried. Surely you could say that I want my father's body to go to sort of ethical cannibals. Interesting. Yeah. I suppose it's not going to be the best kind of meal for a cannibal.

Like I think, you know, at the moment a lot of hospitals are no longer accepting bodies because they've just got too many bodies. They don't want any more donations, right? Really? Yeah, bodies for medical science. And, you know, I think a cannibal is probably going to want to... I think they don't want any more oldies. I mean, I'm not sure, but I have the feeling that a human body probably doesn't taste as good as I am. But, you know what? Luckily,

Luckily, all these aren't the only people that die. Thank Christ. Sure, look, I'm not 100% worried about the full... Right, that song. Only the old, die young. Is that a song? I'll write it down. If it's not a song, I mean, that's a great premise for a song? I'll write it down. If it's not a song, I mean that's a great premise for a song.

Only the dog. Fuck. Alright, I've got a premise for a song for you, I'll just do it. Only the dog day, young. I thought of this yesterday, so do you mind if I bring something in from off-pot? Alright, I'm going to allow an off-pot idea. Okay, you know how I've been learning the banjo? Yeah.

Right, I thought, I had a hard idea. Okay, you know how I've been learning the banjo. Yeah, yeah. Right. I thought, you know, there's so many great classic old banjo songs about, you know, like for example, John Henry, right? John Henry, he's the song about a man who he works all day on the railroad hammering in nails, right in the railroad. and then one day the shop format, or the format or whatever it is, brings down a steam machine that's supposed to hammer the nails.

And it's gonna take John Henry's job, and John Henry hammers, he's gonna beat that machine, right? So he hammers faster than the machine, and then eventually one day, John Henry dies with a hammer in his hand. There's another song called Pagan All, which is about somebody who makes shoes

and then they make a bring along a machine, replaces the person who makes the shoes. Pagan All. So but once all the jobs have been replaced by robots, we're not gonna be able to have those great banjo songs anymore. Oh no. So I figured I would write a banjo song about a banjo player that gets replaced by a robot. No, but that's good. And this is about a robot that gets replaced by a slightly better version of the robot. Oh, that's good. So we've got a construction line right right? And there's the ZenNFP HQ 12, right?

And it works every day in the construction line building, the building, whatever it's building, right? And then one day the shopwoman comes down and tells it that it's replacing it with the ZenNFP HQ 13. Yeah, I think that's really good. Yeah, okay. And then at the end, so this is like, you see the guy playing the band joke at the beginning, right there.

And then he tells the song. And then at the end of the song, the guy gets up and he goes, and he walks away and that's the last little reveal. They're all robots. Well, I thought a good reveal in the song would be if you revealed that the thing that the Zenf Zenf P HQ 12 had been building was the Zenf P HQ 13, right? It had built its own, like I don't know on the construction line, it built its own replacement. And so it really, it lived on like you do through a child.

Yeah, but you don't really do you? No, you definitely don't. No, you don't live on. You kind of, you die a lot of the time. In a sense, in the accurate sense, you're a dead. I mean, it's a shame that we always have to just get rid of the person that we're replacing rather than just both work together.

You know, like, that's interesting. Because like, why? Couldn't you just, you know, like... That's interesting. Because like why? Hmm. Couldn't you just, you know, like, I mean, obviously, when another man comes along, often you just both work together on the railroad. Yeah. You know, and instead of try to make lighter work. Well, yeah, the, the, the, the form doesn't bring down another man and say, here, this man's better at hammering these nails.

Yeah, you're out, you're out, yeah. I say, no, like,'s better at hammering in these nails. You're out. You're out, yeah. I say, no, it's both hammer nails. Let's both, yeah, we could hammer nails. We get this done in half the time. This man who's still... No, no, no, they want a 3% increase in efficiency. Yeah, but then, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then there's a guy who's single-handedly hammering the nails.

I mean, wielding a hammer with a single hand. Single hand. All right, he's replacing you. All right. Look, I don't know. Banjo song, robot replace. Yeah, I mean, it would also be good to have a song in which the man brings down the robot to replace Joe Henry. And then Joe Henry and the robot become quite good friends. And then they work together on the railroad. Yeah. Swap and stories. And then eventually work together on the railroad, swapping stories. And then eventually they become lovers. Oh, you see that would be nice.

Yeah. I think the... I mean, you can imagine a robot built for hammering in nails would be able to show you a good talk. Oh. I think you might mistake your, your penis as a nail, maybe. Well, that's a risk. I guess. And then really bring down a large block of dense metal onto it.

But, you know, who's to say that that doesn't feel good? Yeah. Who will wait a judge? Yeah. I think you could also have it, like, because this robot's obviously built for like this brute force thing. But then if Joe Henry was then able to teach it, how to be gentle with that hammer, right? And teach it like a more sensitive, because I think as a man, Joe Henry would have like

an emotional connection with the nail and he would know how to work with the nail to hammer it in a way That's both good for him and for the nail and I think that the robot would come in not having that you know like like for example Romantic comedy in which Sandra Bullock is a you know career driven yeah She doesn't know how to love business She doesn't know how to love. Business woman. Doesn't know how to love. Exactly.

In this movie, the hammering robot is played by Sandra Bullock. Well, I mean, I guess it could be voiced by Sandra Bullock. Voice by Sandra Bullock. I think the contortion that would be required of Sandra Bullock's body is just, I think it's just a, like a method step too far that she's not willing to take. Sure. Okay, it's motion capture. But then again, but then again.

Emotion capture. That's where we put little listeners I was pointing to Andy. That's where we put little green balls on our heart, on our heart of the actor. And soul. We're able to capture the emotion and then tune that into a performance. Look, I think, okay, so I think it starts, I think it starts with a man playing a banjo, singing a song about a guy who gets replaced by a robot, but then learns to work with him. And then the relationship blossoms, and becomes becomes potentially sexual.

I think I think the the the moment where they try to figure out how to make it sexual they both have these urges but they don't know you know they're not compatible and they're like Mac and PC. Yeah wow. And except they're man and PC. and accept their man and PC. And then, so I think that's interesting. They find a way to turn it, you know. It's obviously, I'm assuming it's, I'm not gonna go into details. I just like, I think just like searching every little corner

on each other's bodies trying to find something to hold on to. And trying to find, you know, to and trying to find the beautiful. There's just this idea of you want to press yourselves against each other, but you don't know where. Well, that's like a very often first love of any kind. It involves a certain amount of searching and uncertainty. Exactly. This is just like any other love then the man dies because of his mortality Right, you know, and then the man gets replaced by a robot which replaces the the bigger robot But then they work together and they form some kind of relationship. So the other robot just moves on just like that doesn't it doesn't well Obviously, obviously it resists

I mean first it had to learn how to love then it had to learn how to resist Doesn't it? Doesn't, doesn't. Obviously it resists. I mean, first it had to learn how to love, then it had to learn how to resist. You know, resist moving on straight away. But then it has to learn how to love again. Love again. You know? And then that's a great sequel. I love it. We make the first movie. Then he's learning how to love again.

And very often the best way to learn is to teach. So in teaching the other, the newer or efficient robot to love it teaches itself to love again. Yeah. And then someone and so forth. Yeah. And then I don't know one of them. Maybe one of them. Then they send down a hologram or something like that. A hologram to build the railroad. Well, to simulate a railroad. So we don't actually need a railroad.

Turns out the railroad is just a metaphor. Exactly, yeah. Oh, it's just the... We've been building a metaphor this whole time. It's whole time. We've been able to build a metaphor for the futility of human endeavor. Yeah, and then the man who sing in the song turns out to be a banjo a banjo I'll imagine if they both both the robots then get replaced by banjos Imagine so I mean or the guy who's playing the banjo, his banjo gets replaced by a robot.

It's like maybe a little, like a keytar that sounds like a banjo, kind of banjo emulator on it. Is this getting worse or better? It's getting worse. Okay. I think, okay, Alisa, I could be going down really. Look, I think we might have found that,

we might have found a good narrative story there. No, I think we definitely have. I think the thing that we mentioned in there about first love and fumbling around and trying to find a way to connect, you know, because you want to do something but you don't quite know how or what. I think that's a funny thing to take and apply to something else, right? Like, like, whether it is, you know, what's the newest, you know, what's the, what, what, I'm like, okay, I don't know what I'm trying to say. I just wanted to apply that to a different...

Yeah, so like, it's like the kids in Blue Lagoon. Right. Right. It's the kids in Blue Lagoon. You know I know the baby from Blue Lagoon. Did I tell you that? Andy, ghost of university with Julian Assan. He knows the baby from Blue Lagoon.

I'm very much the nexus of all human achievement. All roads lead to Andy Matthews in some way. Sure Andy, you know the baby from Blue Lagoon. Well, not he's not a baby, he was a man now. Oh, yes. I know the man from Blue Lagoon. The man who died and then leaving these children alone on the island. I know the baby from Blue Lagoon.

Okay. Look, we'll go into that a little bit later. Obviously, this train of thought is too important to even. Is it the same baby from the never mind cover? It's the same baby. Yeah. They just, we found one baby that can swim underwater. That's right.

And we just go, okay, quick, get the get a photographer. You can't shut your water. You can't shut your water. You can't shut your water. I need to, you need like movie cameras that could film underwater. Yeah, but fortunately, when you first build a movie camera, it's able to work underwater

for the first two or three weeks of its life. It just seems to instinctively know how to work underwater. Then it loses its tail. Exactly. It's a set-stale of that instinct. Yeah. And you know if you've had a movie camera for a month or two months and you chuck it into a pool it instantly stops work. Well that's where movie cameras breed is underwater. Underwater. They spawn into the water. Yeah. Yeah. Of course.

Yeah. So much like the kids from Blue Lagoon, you know, the old man dies and then it's just this sort of, you know, teenage boy and this teenage girl and they got these urges. Right. And they don't know they've never seen anybody you know having do it having the sex you know so but they just have these urges and there's just something that kind of brings them together they just want to touch they know the feeling of touch feels good

and they long for it and then at some point just one thing slots into another and then just and then the next thing, you know, that's the thing. Well, they've got much less romantic, Alistair. They're all of a sudden. Well, at some point, it just becomes a puzzle, doesn't it? Right. And a really simple puzzle.

Like if that was given to you as like an amusement for your desk at work, it wouldn't take you long to work it out, wouldn't it? It's hardly the bloody horseshoe with the two ropes and the knot on the end. I think it would be great if you could go down to national geographics. And you buy one of those little puzzles that comes in a packet and you got to figure it out. And it's just a penis and a vagina.

And you just got to figure it out, right? Could be made a wood. Are there people? Because people obviously, right, people like having sex with people. Yeah. But then sometimes people like having sex with like a silicon version of a bit of a person's anatomy. Yeah.

Right? And then are there people who like to watch two silicon versions of human anatomy just going at it? Like, can you remove yourself from the process entirely and then just have two six-to-way pleasure each other? I look, I've never seen this happen, but I could have, I mean, look, I think from what I've seen from the literature, there are some people who watch animated sort of point on the view in which there is no, there is no real People in there. Yeah, I think maybe the mind can suspend disbelief sure, you know and allow to

To imagine what those kind of things would Feel like or be like I guess much in the way that you know you could watch Snow White and the seven dwarves and you could picture what it would be like to be passed out for a while and some guy come and kiss you on the lips. You know? The... Alistair in many ways the perfect example. I don't know how you do it. Yeah, and then, anyway, look, so in that way I could see somebody just getting a rubber

butt and just like a big, a big dildo, just push them into each other on like on a YouTube clip and that would be popular But how far away can you take it from reality before like you did you know until like No, what's the furthest point you can take it from reality until and and and it still Cause any kind of around yeah a a rouse. Yeah, a rouse. Yeah. So, um, okay, rubber, you know, like these obviously are made to look like it that helps. Yeah. Yeah. Could you replace it, say, like, could you use a rubber penis or, or, or, you know, a rubber vagina and then replace one of them with a carrot? I imagine the penis. Yeah. Yeah. Which I show. Okay. So now it's a carrot and now it's not a rubber vagina. Now it's a...

An elevator door. It's an elevator door. Okay, look, and I think it's much like that philosophical question, right? That, you know, when is it a pile of rice? Yeah, like, you know, like if the body, if you were to replace yourself completely in one go, would you still be the same person? No. But if you were to slowly replace one little part of your brain at a

time, you know. It's grandfather's axe. It's the, you know, Jason's ego. Yeah, that's right. And so you start with two people having intercourse, right? Then you replace the, let's say, the woman with a rubber set of, you know, whatever's. Just a couple of, you know, yeah. And so then eventually you remove the guy, and are you still aroused now that you've got this rubber of shlong and this kind of, it's just this pile of meat, right? And then you replace the rubber butt or with a pile of meat, right? Yeah. Then you replace the rubber butt, or right now, with a pile of meat, right? And then you replace the dick with a carrot.

Right. And then you replace the meat with the elevated doors. And then you replace the carrot with a small remote control car. And then you replace the elevated doors with a wheeled. Oh, I was going to say a rim of paper, but a field is good. Just a field and you have a remote control car just driving around in a strawberry.

Now you're still around. Yeah. Okay. Now it's not a car. Okay. Now it's just a photograph of the first moon landing. And you're flicking it over the field. Does that still? Is the connection, is just through time,

through the timeline, a connection to the original sex act? Is that just sustain the arousal? Can you remove that land and replace it with just two clouds? Well, I think it's an interesting question, something that we as humanity need to grapple with, because as pornography I think it's an interesting question, something that we as humanity need to grapple with, because as pornography online becomes more and more extreme and continues to influence people's

sexual expectations, particularly young boys who are impressionable and that sort of thing and grab with the wrong idea of exactly what intimacy can or should be like. I think, you know, inevitably pornography will push more and more boundaries to the point where eventually we do have, you know, a pornographic film that is just a picture of the moon landing being flipped across an open field. A meadow. A meadow. And I worry about what that will do to our sons. Yeah, I mean, you know, on the thinking that that's what it's what sex is. Yeah, obviously nobody's seen the end of a pornographic film that could be how they all end, right? But, but you know, that is a problem. That is the fear that a young man and a young woman will both come together to lose their

virginities. Because of, well, maybe the lady will lay down and make herself as ground like as she can. And then the man will just cartwheel through the air. With a rough sketch of Neil Armstrong, it's just. It was just. Yes. And then only then will we realize we've gone too far, right? And we could have stopped all of this, but.

Yeah. But look, I think that's definitely a sketch. I think that's definitely a sketch. I don't know much. Look, I don't know much, but I know that's a sketch. Definitely a sketch. Harry's Razors. Yeah, what about it? Yeah, well, you mean the excellent people who make really good razors at a affordable price? A affordable price. German factory. They bought a German razor factory with over a hundred years of manufacturing experience. Well, you know who I, what I trust, German engineering.

German engineering. Even if I didn't shave, which I have to, unfortunately, that is the burden of man. The women of the world will not accept us unless we are a shaven or at least bearded. Shaven or at the very least not shaven. But even if I didn't shave, I would love to have precision German engineering in my house. And that's what Harry's razors are. Well, this, I would say, is probably the closest I've ever had precision German- German engineering to my body. Absolutely. It's as intimate as you can possibly be with precision German engineering, unless you've

got like a pacemaker or something like that, which is obviously a precision German- engineered pacemaker. We would have to be, but they don't make them. They don't make them. Because that's the guarantee that they gave to Harry's razors when they were making it. They said, we're not going to allow a more precise, a more German, a more engineered piece of technology to get any closer to the human body than this. That's right.

And it gets up real close, but it's a real general. I haven't cut myself a single time since I've been using this razor, and I used to cut myself all the time. I just went on a trip. I had to use a, for some reason I didn't bring my Harry's razor with me. And you know what? And I just used a regular supermarket brand. I lost it. This is a modern day tragedy. Disposable razor which creates landfill and sadness within the sort of the... At Nordstrom, you can shop the best holiday gifts for everyone you love, all in one place.

Yeah, that's right. That's what I've created. Is what I've created. And I cut myself multiple times. I'm a bag of scars. Bag of scars. Bag of scars. Anyway, but what people should do,

because we're not just talking about the raises. Oh my god, no. No, we're, we're, I mean, I wish we were. We're sure. But we are laying open a path to you to have this kind of happiness in your life yourselves. If you go to harries.com for slash think tank, you can get for only the cost of shipping. You can get $13 worth of value, which includes a Razer, a precision engineer. You get your handle, you get your precision engineer, Harry's blades.

You get your, your lathering thing, foam, shaving cream. And you get yourself a little travel clippy case for your blades. So you can almost there next time, take it away with you, keep it nice and safe. Such a fool. You're such a fool. All right, and you get that for just the cost of shipping. That's over $13 worth of value. So that is a bloody great start.

Even if you're not gonna do anything else, you go along, you get yourself that. Yeah. All right, you treat yourself, okay, on us. And you're worth it. You absolutely are. All right, we know it. We know that you are worth it.

All right, so. Harrys.com. forward slash think think tank $10 worth of value. I'll say I'm not totally sure if I'm correct on these statistics, but I believe that Harry's have sold over four trillion raises. Are you kidding? Yeah. In 18.6 billion different countries. That's those are staggering figures.

They're absolutely staggering. And your figure will look staggering once you shave it with a Harry's razor. I mean, staggering is already, it's not a great way to walk, but it's a great way to look. Yes. You know? Right, it's something to inflict on others,

because I don't think it's you that are staggering No, well if something is staggering. Yeah, I don't think that I Think I think when you use staggering like he looked staggering. Yeah, right. I don't think it's because he is Staggering himself. No, I think it's because he causes you to stagger. Oh With the extent to which he is staggering. Yeah, right Like when when you say that somebody is breath-taking, they're not taking breaths. No, no, no, they're causing you to take a breath. They're taking your breath.

That's right. Away. What to do with, I don't know. Well, and that's the thing, is that with most breaths, that's probably where you want them to go. It's away. Away? Because if they were to linger within your sort of chest cavity,

that would probably cause some kind of stagnant air scenario, possibly a mold problem. And that's where respiratory problems arise. That's right. So when you don't breathe out, so I think we need to remind the listeners to breathe out. And we need to remind listeners of the important work that good looking people are doing. Sure.

Taking our breaths away. And allowing, you know, it's part of the sort of the air cycle, much like the water cycle that takes water up into the sky, then back into the ocean and, you know, what not. Good looking people, much like the sun well like garbage men garbage men garbage persons yeah, who can also be attractive? Absolutely they they they take away your garbage These people take away your breath and while the garbage men dump it into landfill These good-looking people I presume dump it into airfield. Yeah, that's right and And so I don't know if there's a sketch

idea in there. I don't think there is. Landfill, but fill is spelled PHIL. Now, Alistair, I want you to forget I said that, okay? I want you to forget that those words came out How could land be spelled? Gland fill. It's a great product name. Hey, I think it's my alternative to Viagra. Oh, no, it's a doctor. Yes. Oh, Gland fill. No, but I think we still need it to be PHIL.

It's gland film. He's a doctor. He's in... He's... You come to him with your, uh, with your sort of thyroid problems. A thyroid gland? Yeah, a thyroid's a gland. It's... Elisdate, this is so depressing that we're doing this.

This is like... You know, again, this is the stuff we swore that we would not do. Well, you know. We took it oath, Andy. We took it oath. We took a sacred oath. We took the comedy sketch idea podcast oath. Yeah, which, you know, was a note that we've basically manufactured along the way because as you know, we, it was upon

re-listening to a couple of old, earlier episodes that it made you want to take a note. Yeah, that we, we used way too many wordplay based sketches, but you know, at the same time, you got to put, you know, you can't have rules. That's right. You don't be too hard on yourself. I mean, yeah, and gland fill, you know, obviously, not, not,

you know, doesn't seem like the Shave and right face and every time you say it is like a dagger how He's just bring it back up. Oh I don't know what a thyroid even looks like. What would you picture a thyroid looks like? Okay, so I picture a thyroid looks a little bit like a shallot. Really? Yeah.

Ah, no, I always picture a gland. Like a little white shallot. No, I, a little white shallot. So you picture a gland, it's white. Yeah. What color do you picture a gland? Oh, it definitely looks like it's flesh colored. Really?

Yeah, in my mind a gland is definitely flesh. No, no, no, because a gland is full of like Something no, I think you're Whatever the ligament no, no, no, no, a gland is full of a thing right some stuff Right, yeah, we're like like but which is equivalent to like pass or something when you feel something out with pass It goes white I think it's got a blend in that's got a blend in with the look of the body I think it's got a blend in that's got a blend in with the look of the body

Blends in with the look of the body right these are things internal organs internal organs. They all look distinct They've all got their own personal personalities. No, I don't know look I think it kind of would look like you know when they like it would just look like a Little bit like the top of an a like a long aorta, You know like the part on the heart They kind of sticks out. Yeah What's the what's the big tube? What's the big hole the big hole where the blood comes in comes out? Isn't the aorta? Yeah, but it goes into a tube doesn't just come in and come out to the loose in your audience I'm talking about the tube. I'm talking about this so it's like it's kind of like heart a bit hard colored less less dark Right dark so the hearts a little dark for me. I don't, I don't know if this is something that we can work out from first principles.

Yeah, you know. If what you can call we're using, I know, I think we first principles. I think that we can, we can come up with what we think. I'm still, I'm still saying white. Yeah, I know. I'm saying it's like swollen up with all the little contents, whatever they may be. Contents some kind of hormonal secretion or, you know, I reckon it's about the size of your thumb. I agree. Obviously, we agree that it's about the size of your thumb. Everybody knows that.

I reckon if you squeeze it, it's real squishy. No, I think it's quite hard and taught. Really? No, I reckon it's real squishy. Like it feels like it would be full of gristle or something. I think it basically feels like a shallot. No, no, there's no way it feels like a shallot. I reckon it feels more, it feels more like a springy silly

putty kind of thing. Like a sort of like a wet stress ball too. No, no, it's definitely tighter than that. I'm sorry. All right. Well, I don't know if there's any sketch ideas on that either. Oh, I'll stay. I'm really sorry. How do you think the earth feels about vegetables? You know, like things growing in it. Sure. Right. Because like, from its point of view, like they feel like an ingrown here, like I imagine having a sweet potato growing in you would be kind of like irritating.

Sure. Like so that it's kind of is the earth being sort of personified like it's like it's mother Gaia. Gaia, Gaia, Gaia. Do you say Gaia, Gaia? Gaia, Gaia. I think Gaia, I say Gaia Gaia Gaia Gaia Gaia Gaia Gaia Gaia Gaia I think I say Gaia Yeah, and so the so vegetables are just like the the the the black that's right the black

Another black hole the black heads like heads. Yeah, I mean I've always kind of seen trees as sort of the hair of the of the earth world Alisa could I just change this slightly yeah, right so I'll say I could I just change this slightly. Yeah. Right. So farmers, right, when they harvesting the, say the wheat, right, they have that big combine harvest, they drive along. It's basically like a shaver, like an electric shaver for the ground, right. Can we have a farmer who instead uses wax strips. The way he harvests the the the wheat is to soften up some wax and then spread it down. He has one big truck that goes along that spreads down a long

layer of wax. Another one that lays down a big sheet. Like we're like people running, so to like they do on like the football fields or something like that. Like the cricket fields when they have to bring the tarp when it's raining and they have to bring the tarp. Oh, but when it's raining, and they run out with the tarp. They run out with the tarp like that. And then so this people running over the wheat like that,

and then just kind of like getting a stick in it on there, and then they come along and then they got tried it. And then they've just got like this catapult on the other end that yanks it off. Yeah. Well, they run back with it. Yeah, but that would be slow and painful. Sure. But I do accept that. Now, what are the benefits of this? Okay. I guess it takes

longer for the weight to grow back, which is something farmers would obviously be into. You get it at the root, which kills the, kills the plan. Yeah. I guess it gives you a fresh start. Fresh start. You maybe you don't have to plow. It's the, yeah, well, there you go, no plow. Oh, I would upturn the dirt a little bit. Yeah. You, when it grows back, it's softer. You know, you don't get that bristly weight.

Well, you know, there's a lot of bread that's a bit too firm for my liking. And I could blame the wheat. Is there anything in this? I do think so. I think that there is like, look, I think just the idea of somebody waxing the field. Waxing the field. One guy who gets sort of laser wheat removal.

And then he gets wheat, rather than growing more wheat, he just gets wheat tattooed onto the field. So it looks like there's wheat. But it's only exactly where he wants it, right? It's only in those perfect rows. Well, yeah, because it's one of those, you know, like there's those farmers that get paid not to grow apples or whatever. I didn't know about this, but that sounds like a good scam.

Yeah, it's a great scam. It's one of those people who, yeah, I think it's like they go, well, if there are too many apples and that ruins the price of apples. And so some people go and dump apples in the sea or whatever. I don't know if this is a rumor or a real thing. Yeah, right But they dump apples in the sea or they pay some people not to grow things. Yeah, so instead to still just look like he's kind of You know, he's having a productive year. He just tattoos sort of an apple orchard on the ground It gets one of those guys who does stuff with chalk on the pavement. Oh, yeah

I think he just does that but with they get one of the dirt version of that, who does it with apple trees. I think I think I think those guys who draw the 3d versions of things on the ground, you've got to be standing in exactly the right spot for it to look right. Yeah, I think that's a great power. It's it's an amazing like, you know, if you and people say, are we are we just everything we're just a simulation, are we just living in a simulation? Well, are we just standing in front of a really good bit of pavement art? How do I know? How do I know that you, Alistair,

aren't just a trick that's been created with forced perspective, that you only look real because of where I'm sitting? There's always that risk, Andy. There is always that risk. I mean, I guess if something were it came out that the Grand Canyon was actually just that. That's really funny. Yeah. Yeah. That's why they have that little observation booth. Yeah. I mean you go and stand on that

thing because the Grand Canyon's just drawn on. Yeah they had to put like one point where you can look at it. I guess you could just have like a sort of an art doco kind of thing where you're talking to the artist who did do it and who are. If the earth was actually flat and all the curvature of the earth it was just a trick down with force perspective by a really good pavement artist. I think that's something. I think to say that there are people who are flat earthers, right? But I don't think even they have gone so far as to say that everything is flat.

And because even they would accept that like trees and balls and stuff come rise out of the earth. But now I'm beyond that. I'm a strict two-dimensionalist. I believe that the earth is two-dimensional. And like a flat completist or a flat... What's another word that kind of means like all encompasses? Or something like that? Absolutist?

Yeah, I'm a flat absolutist. Absolutist. And yeah, it's just those sketches. I tell you no. If you look closely, there's a hat with some coins in it, just at your feet there. Everything is actually just like that hologram on your credit card. It's a 3D projection on a 2D surface.

Right, Alistair, this is actually sounding a little bit too much like something someone would say. Well, I know, but that's what we're trying to do, right? We're trying to create all these people there. If you follow any conspiracy theory, you can see how it makes sense. Yeah, well, there's someone along the line

has a compelling sentence that you'll be like, oh yeah, if that's the only thing that I take to be true, but I can I can believe this. When when I see flat earth or stuff, there's always that part where they go, well, there's not enough evidence that the earth is flat and you go, look, for a moment there, I'm willing to go with you. Just to see. And like this guy who's about to launch a rocket, and he's built his own rocket so that he can prove, he can go up and space and prove that it's actually...

That he has flat. Yeah, wow. I look forward to. Man, that's gonna be big. I wanna know. Yeah, absolutely. I guess it's been very strictly controlled who gets to go up there.

I wonder though, I feel like they could have got to his rocket somehow. Trick this rocket. Trick this rocket to make, like as in, so that he doesn't make it up. Yeah, yeah, or, you know, someone would have snuck in and done something to the lens on the rocket, so that. Just put a fisheye lens.

fisheye lens on the rocket. Oh, that's classic. And I guess that's how they could have tricked. That's how they could have tricked the you know, the Apollo, the astral. Yeah, it's why that helmet is round like that. I'll say this is another stupid word play thing. Okay, here we go. I'm ready. But, um, do you think that the computer in 2001, a space Odyssey, how do you think that the computer in 2001 has space obviously how? Do you think that that was a PC? Because there's a real missed opportunity in that movie for Dave when Hal goes insane to have been outside the ship saying,

this is PC Gone Mad. I just think they should have included that line. Would have been really a real fun. Oh, now this is what I call PC God mad. Yeah. Do you think that we could get, or what's his name? Stanley Kubrick, to go back and edit that into the cut

of the film? I mean, it's gonna be hard to go back and get him to come back to life and stuff like that. But I think he was a guy who loved sort of throw away wordplay kind of stuff like that. Yeah, he got a wacky, you know. It's just a good line. You'd be crazy not to put it in. It's like it wants to be in the film. Yeah, and I kind of like, I think the movie kind of does drag on a lot and there's an element of it. Yeah, around two-thirds of the way in, if they were just one good zinger. Yeah, is like you know a lot of people are kind of watching this movie going what is this about yeah, and I think

I Think like you could actually end it after the line Mm-hmm, whatever I think I hear there's like some I'd never made it to the end But there's some like kaleidoscopic Yeah, he goes full through and there's a baby and stuff. Yeah Yeah, I think it goes full through and there's a baby and stuff. Yeah, I think he sees a baby or he becomes a baby. I guess he's in the Simpson's area. And I think, yeah, I think maybe if after that you could still keep the kaleidoscopic stuff

and the baby and stuff. But then it's the guy celebrating the pun for the kind of the rest of the yeah, great. Could we remake it as 2000 pun, a space odyssey, and we just re-dub the entire film where everyone's just cracking puns the whole time. And you know, obviously you still have that incredible visual artistry. Like the film looks amazing. The fact that they were able to do that stuff in what the 70s is just mind blowing. It looks better than a lot of CGI today. I think that there's a huge market for this. But then just puns across the top of it.

People go back and they will re-release a movie with better visual effects, or they'll restore the grade of the film. But nobody's going back and rewriting the script so it's funnier. Yeah, that's true. But I think we have the technology now. Now, too. And we have the writing ability. Yeah.

Absolutely. To now write. Or the lack of writing ability. Exactly. Yes, the lack of shame. We've developed the lack of shame to allow us to rewrite 2000 pun. Yeah, a space honestly. Yeah. I mean, we could even work work a pun into a space. I know I've been trying this whole time. Don't worry What about a space pundancy Alistair, that is perfect

That is perfect. Yeah. Yeah, I look something, something, you know, in that early part with the monkeys and stuff, you know, because one of them, one of them, I guess you would say, I mean, look, this is not good. But one of them is going, ape shit, right? But I think, like,

I think in terms of like box office, that would, I think that would politely do better than maybe Titanic, which still my high watermark for. And that- Titanic is your high watermark. That's what I watermark, which is way above. That's really insensitive thing to say. Yeah.

I'll stay. Look, Andy, we have six. Yeah, I think there's a bit of a dip there after the second Harry's ad, but bloody hell, I mean, we satisfied ourselves. I can rest easy. Yeah, look, I'm going to rest easy. I think this episode really is carrying off the first half. Even to be honest, it's resting off of the two.

The second and the third sketches, which I think are my strong favorites. But look, they're like a through the Malester. Right, here we go. We got the ethical cannibal, which is a person who only kind of eats like. This is our second ethical cannibalism. Possibly our third ethical cannibalism sketch. Oh, because we get soy boy. So, boy. Which are now, you know, soy boy is now, is now like a sort of alt-right insult. Really?

Yeah, because they're... Because they're accusing people of being vegans or something? Yeah, I think it's kind of like that thing with, it's based off of that myth that eating soy products increases your estrogen. Right. Sure. And so they're all about hypermasculinity and all that kind of garbage, whatever. As if all of masculinity rests within one compound in your body.

Yeah. Yeah. Anyway. So we got that ethical cannibal. He only eats the dead parts of of human bodies the hair You know he'll he'll vacuum your he'll come and vacuum your house and then yeah, and then instead of like eat the powder And possibly a dust might Yeah, well, you know an ethical dust might ethical dust. Yeah, I guess they're not there. No ethical well because ethical dust might ethical dust might yeah I guess they're not they're not ethical well because ethical dust might Well because dust mights will shit in your bed or whatever right yeah yeah, I think so that's not ethical

I think he won't do that he won't do that yeah It's actually quite good like I think I think you know if he comes around if you especially if you got allergies or something like that Oh, it's so good yeah yeah and then canable here Oh, it's so good. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then... Cannibal here. Not, not, not. Ethical cannibal. Ethical cannibal? Oh, how do you think ethical cannibals here? What do you mean, an ethical cannibal? What's an ethical cannibal? Yeah, and then he goes, oh, get the nail clipping. It's got the nail clippings. He's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's he he's he he's he yeah and they give him a ziplock bag. Oh, thank you so much, madam. Thank you very much, yeah, these all bull up nicely.

You kinda get those on the board for a couple hours and they soften rolled up. You're gonna have them with like a nice. Mind if I have a quick zipper in with a Dyson bag. Oh, what's he doing? What's he up to? Oh, honey, it's gonna ease off on your allergies. Oh well I suppose I'm off I mean,

it just seems a bit odd to me. Anyway, so that's a great dynamic in the family there is the crazy British wife who's obviously very switched on to these things and looking after her husband's allergies. And then there's the irritated British husband. It doesn't seem to understand anything, but does have allergies.

But he's very slightly conservative. He doesn't like that the world is changing. Yes. And then of course there's the flamboyant ethical cannibal who's also British. Also British likes talking about the culinary aspects of being a cannibal. Very open about it. Obviously then there's the scene that sketch of thousands of the banjo song rocket replace that's what I call

this here rocket replace also banjo song so I wrote rocket replace robot replace robot replace robot replace you know and so the man gets replaced by the robot but then rather than just being replaced by it it becomes its friend and it's a nail it's a robot that nails nails things in the real world I think we sort of switched at some point I think there was it like the songs got to have a level of simplicity to it but then I think that there was a film in there as well which is where they fall in love, and you know, they're intimate with one another. Well, I think maybe at first, he get the man gets replaced, right?

And it's a bit of a sad story about that. But then the man realizes that he convinces his boss that why just replacing, and why can't we work together? Right. And so then he gets to start working, he gets to keep working, right? The man, the boss gets higher productivity. Yeah.

And then this guy has to confront his own replacement. The robot voice by Sandra Bullock. The robot voice by Sandra Bullock. And then, you wouldn't think that they would get along. Not. They're like chalk and cheese. They're like robot and man. And then they do eventually get along.

And then they fall in love. Have we seen a buddy cop movie in which one of them is a robot? Look, I didn't see that South African one. Oh, what was that? Oh, it's got like a... Oh, Chappy, is that Chappy? Yeah, Chappy. I don't know if he's a cop. I probably wasn't a cop. He looked was a like a robot streeter chin or something

Why don't we get a robotic straight edge? Yeah Future Dickens. I think when the future You know when when you know that they he wrote he wrote that great book years ago But people say that he's gonna one day come back and write another book. I don't know if he's going to write a book. I mean, it'd be awful to have to come back from the debt and then just be forced to write people. People say Dickens is going to come back and write another book. That's what they say. Well, he's a visionary. I mean, he saw that two cities would one day come together. Is that what happens in the tale two cities?

I don't know, is it about urban sprawl and that at some point the two cities become? What it is, it's basically a blueprint for the urban future urban planning of Melbourne and Ballarat. Great, I mean, we're going to spread out the Ballarat. And it's going to be big spread. It's going to be really good. Next one, next sketch idea is replacing sex people with, oh my God, it's just what I'm trying to write these things while we're talking. So this is the one in which we've replaced parts

of the sexual experience with approximations to that. And we gradually, like your grandfather's ax, we've replaced them with more and more parts. And then we look at it objectively and we say, is this still a sexual act? Is this? Is throwing the photograph of Neil Armstrong landing on the moon across an open meadow still in some way sex? Can you still get off on that if you've been paying attention? Yeah and I my theory is yes. Yes.

Yeah. As long as you see yourself as either the meadow or the further. You've got to be able to identify with it. I think that's obviously the that relies on the skill of the pornographer, the filmmaker to make you still connect with the field or the photograph. I think let's not insult them by calling them filmmakers, they're pornographers. Sure. Then we have the waxing the wheat. It's just the farmer who's just fine. He doesn't like to shave it.

He doesn't like to use a thresher. Yeah. It's a thresher, it's his thing. Yeah. Then we got, Combine, have a step. Obviously, we got the, this kind of starts with the story about the,

that the grand canyon is actually a 3D painting on the ground. But then it kind of goes deeper into these flat absolutists, these people who it's actually everything is flat, and trees are flat, you're flat. We actually are just two two dimensional creatures, we're cartoons essentially, very realistic ones. But we've been tricked by a cany street artist. Yeah. Possibly Banksy. Yep. And look, I think the idea of your flat assilutus is actually very good,

and I take back to the second half of the year. Oh, I'm starting to come around. Yeah. Yeah. Great. And then we got 2000 in pun space honestly. And that is when we bring back some of the serious classics and really, really insult their memory and their reality and their work and their genius. Yeah, and the genius. And we just throw in some wood. Pithy puns. Pithy?

Pithy. I don't have to be pithy. So you know what? Thank you so much for listening to Two in the Think Tank. You can find us on Twitter. On Twitter. On at Two in Tank. I'm at Alistair TV. I'm at Stupid Old Andy. We're also on Facebook, you can like us and we love it. And we're going to ask you if you have any good sketch ideas. Yeah, we are sometimes.
