Over the last 10 years, Bombas has donated over 100 million socks, underwear and t-shirts
to those facing homelessness.
If we counted those on air, this ad would last over 1,157 days.
But if we counted the time it takes to make a donation possible this holiday season,
it would take just a few clicks.
Because every time you make a purchase, Bombas donates an item to someone who needs it.
Go to bombas.com slash locked on and use code lockdown for 20% off your first purchase. donate an item to someone who needs it.

And when you think that we don't, that's on you.
That's on you, that's indicative of,
I'm gonna say a deep problem with your mind.
That it filters the world, the outside world in some way,
the outside world which is an objective world
in reality.
There's only one version.
Yeah, and then it filters it in such a way to create different kinds of music.
So some people would consider that possibly a gift that you don't have to hear that every
time.
Is the rose that you see, the same color as the rose that I see, is the garbage intro to
doing the think tank that you hear the same as the one that I hear?
I would have said sort of trebley mouth smack music. Trebley mouth smack. Which seems like an alternative
universe version of your surname. Trebley yeah I'll just do trebley mouth
smack. Yeah.
But for this one brief moment, you've seen the world as it really is.
You heard the world as it really is.
And yeah, I guess it's not that bad, is it?
No, and it's got to a point where we feel like we
know our audience so well, is that we understand their filters.
And we were able to get around your sort of mind's firewall. Or reverse engineer a signal that we can send to you
so that through your filters it actually appears as the real world does so by
creating. Yeah alternative. But yeah it's the first time that you've seen the
real world yet it appears like the most foreign world to you. And that's the first time that you've seen the real world yet. It appears like the most foreign world to you
Mmm, and that's the weird thing. I guess it's a bit like in the Matrix. Yeah, welcome to the something of the real
Nightmare nightmare the nightmare of the real
It wasn't a nightmare because it was daytime and he was talking about how it's very bright
And there was a lot of well though, you know, he's talking about how you they couldn't get access to the sun anymore
So they scorched this I think they scorched the sky to
Stop the robots being able to solar power themselves and get energy
Yeah, it doesn't that really backfired when they started harnessing human bodies. Yeah, but I mean
As we've discussed previously on the podcast that that's thermodynamically and electrochemically unviable.
You can't get more energy out of a person than you're
put in.
And if you're putting in energy from some way,
well, why not just use that energy source that you had
to begin with?
Well, they don't have the technology.
That's the real nightmare, isn't it?
They don't have the technology to turn ham into electricity.
To electricity.
And so they have to go through the body.
And it's a hugely inefficient transfer of electricity.
Is ham in its ham?
Is that what they use it?
I think it's just they took over the world.
There was just a subundance of leftover ham.
And they're working their way through it.
Well, ham doesn't go off as I understand it.
Is that a thing about ham?
Look, I've never thrown away ham.
Yeah, well, and there's two reasons that could be.
One, you've always eaten it before it's gone off.
Or two, it's never gone off.
So you've always eaten it before it's gone off.
Or three.
Or three on my ham hoarder.
never gone off so you've always eaten it before it's gone off or really one thing or three on my ham hoarder.
Oh, if there was a subcategory of hoarders which is just ham hoarder, subcategories,
spinoffs, you know, this is the phrasier of the hoarders' cheers.
They have one episode with a ham hoarder and they go, it's so popular.
Yeah, this episode is too good to just be a one-off.
I think that's great.
It gets the end of Hordes and the networks like, look,
I'm sorry you guys have got to finish up,
but everybody loves the show.
And we think that this Hording, this ham Horda guy,
we think that had a lot of potential and a lot of cut through.
We'd like that to be a show.
So we're giving you unlimited
budget. Okay, cart blotch. You do whatever you got to do. You move the show to Seattle if you have to.
Yeah. All right. You're probably most likely will want to. Exactly. But it's it's it's going to be
It's going to be totally exclusively ham. Will Maris be there?
Okay, so I think what does this show look like?
Now, is it in the reality of the show now?
Are there lots and lots of people who are hoarding ham?
Or is it because the show has to be made,
they have this unlimited budget, that they're going on around,
and people who really don't have that much ham at all,
they're accusing them of being ham hoarders.
Or are they setting people up, fake ham hoarding them,
filling their houses with ham?
Sure, sort of like a cop planting drugs on a suspect.
They go to people who actually go actually don't have any ham whatsoever,
imprompting loads of ham.
Yeah, they just, they do the right.
They come in, I should report,
there's a ride based.
Yeah, sprinkle a little ham.
Yeah, shake it out of the bottom of that.
Trazzolate.
It's somewhere between dog, the bounty hunter,
and ham hoarders.
You know, just where, you know, he's tracking people down
and then get put in ham on him.
Right.
Well, then I'm now interested to see you.
I guess that could be the TV show, Ham Cops.
Do you smell bacon?
But no, it's ham.
No, you guys smell bacon?
No, it's ham.
It's a different part of the beast.
But then now I'm interested to almost see a show said in the future looking back once it's been exposed the fact that
ham hoarders was a scam basically that they were all entrapment.
Well, I think that maybe we could get, okay,
we get a six-eps out of just ham hoarders.
Sure.
Right? And this is something that we would make, right?
Right.
Make six-eps of ham hoarders.
We say that it's a spin-off of hoarders.
Yeah.
Right? It'll get a lot of buzz.
A lot of buzz, especially in the ham community.
Right?
Who have been looking for something to reflect them in a broadcast medium since they were so bitterly disappointed by ham radio.
Yeah, absolutely.
And then later on broadcast radio, which really was a real departure from the ham thing at all.
Ham at all, they shouldn't really have expected that much. No. So then we do that and then we do that
The TV show which is a dramatization of the producers
Right the story behind the hand. Yeah, and then then you make the real
Documentary sort of one-off movie or one hour special, which is like
This is like the real life version of the dramatization TV show
of the, uh, the ham hoarding show.
I don't at all understand what the third one is.
So, the, well, it's where you actually meet ham hoarder producers.
Oh, okay, sure.
Yeah.
Yeah, in person.
And then you, maybe you speak to some of the writers from the, the dramatization of the
producers one.
I think people want that.
Yeah, because then they talk about the research
that they did to make the show,
and then they, you know, like they hung out
with a bunch of ham-horters producers
and sauce all the kind of, the, the, the,
he's like, look, most of these stories
that I came up with are not fake.
Wow, that's, there's a grain of ham.
Truth. Yeah, there's a grain of, sort of, you could's a grain of ham. Truth. Yeah, there's a grain of sort of, you
could say a cube of ham. There's a grain of truth. Or there's a cube of ham. Yeah.
Yeah, I like it because you know, you go to somebody's house, they don't seem like they're a ham
hoarder, right? But the thing about ham is it's very thin. It's very thin. So you're looking at the walls. It's in the walls. It's in the walls. Yeah. And they discovered that
when the other lady from that my weird diet, that lady who eats the drywall, had her over
because they're getting some crossover episodes because, wow, that people love that.
That's great for writing. Yeah, that's great for readings. People love TV shows that are about hoarding and eating weird things. Right. I think that's quite interesting. Across
over episode of hoarders in my weird eating addiction or whatever it is. Yeah.
And because then they would be clashing because then some of the weird eating people would start
eating the stuff that people are hoarding. They're trying to hoard. They go, oh, I could have found a use for that.
I don't, you know, that's quite interesting.
Then we could almost start a whole ecosystem, you know, based entirely around people and
their strange fetishes, right?
That's a good idea.
That's a good idea.
There's people who hoard things that other people have thrown away.
Now, there are people who are like, like,
like to shop and then just throw a whole lot of stuff away as well.
Right?
So they are sort of your trees, your hetero-trophs.
No, they're the auto-trophs of the ecosystem that create the energy and the biomass for the
food chain, right?
And then below them we have the...
What's an example of that?
Oh, so that's a tree.
Oh, a tree.
A tree or a plant or whatever, yeah.
Okay. And then we have, below then we have the herbivores.
But they're the hordes, right?
And then below then we have the carnivores.
And those are the people with the weird addictions to eat the...
That's what carnivores really are.
There are people with just a weird diet where they eat other...
Yeah, this lion has a weird eating addiction.
We eat other animals.
Just...
That's quite good as well to do a...
Nature documentary as if it's a my weird addiction or a hoarders or something
like that.
Yeah, look, there's a lot of ideas here at the moment.
There's a lot of ideas now.
But with the crossover, like with this creating an ecosystem of people with like a some kind
of mental flaw.
Yes.
Yeah.
Well, we regard it as a flaw because it doesn't fit into our social and environmental structure.
But if we were to give them their own, you know, put them in a terrarium,
right, it would be totally self-sustaining, like you used to get a bio-dome.
A bio-dome, I mean exactly. All you would need is instead of the sun, you just need a shop.
Yeah, a shop. A well-stocked department store. And maybe like a couple of houses or just one house
like the big brother house.
Yeah, they're all in a big brother house.
Yeah.
Right.
And then within that they are, they feed off each other.
Yeah.
And then I guess I wonder what the, oh, well, there you go, the, the, what are the ones
that are at the bottom of the food chain, that like eat the detritus and stuff like that, like eat waste and like you're done
beetles and so they're, they're scavengers?
I guess so scavengers are hyenas like that?
Dogs and my dogs would sometimes eat dung?
So you just eat some people who have a fetish for eating shit and they can eat this shit
of the people who eat the weird food.
But then who eats the double shit?
It's a good question.
Yeah.
Do you get double scat of it?
Scavengers in?
I guess if you get two scavengers to have sex with each other,
could they make a double scavenger and then feed them
their shit?
Yes.
But you've just raised another question,
L.A.S.D.
Who eats the shit of the double scavenger?
Who eats the double scavenger? Who hates the double scavenger?
This is a question of philosophical question equivalent to who made God?
That's true.
Who hates the shit of a double scavenger?
Who is the triple shit of a double scavenger?
I mean, yeah, I guess they would just have to keep,
we'll just have to keep God damn breeding.
Yeah, and they've sold, before and so forth.
You know, and I guess, but I guess that's the importance
of the, of the hoarder in that circumstance.
If you need a shit hoarder as well.
Oh, wow, that's interesting.
Let me have a whole, maybe within the bio-don,
we have a whole another bio-don.
Look, Alistair, I don't want to,
I don't want to go too deep into this thing.
Yeah, yeah.
And I, you know, so it's better we pull out now when we're just talking about a bio dome within a bio dome full of double shit at it
All right, but I don't want to go into it to the point where it becomes weird and unrelatable. Yeah, I think we
Explore it. Should I should I should I write down sort of um
Sort of uh weird addiction ecosystem weird addiction bio dome. Yeah. Yeah Yeah, bio-dom. I like terrarium personally.
Okay, yeah. I just feel like we should put some plants in there.
Or there can be some plants.
I don't know what they're doing in there.
I don't think they're necessary.
This is a totally self-sustaining world.
Wait, does terrarium normally have plants or no plants?
Yes, terrarium has plants.
Yeah, right. I just, because you know, terrar is very dirt work.
Yes.
Yeah, dirt.
God, maybe I'm wrong.
What's the one that's like a little self-cant?
Maybe it is just a biotum.
Like, you can make those little jars.
We should've got a little lid on them.
And you have plants and mosses and stuff in there.
Plants and moss.
And it circulates.
And it just lives itself in air.
Well, I know like a terrarium is where you would keep a lizard.
That's where I'd keep a lizard.
Yeah, but not one of those ones that you have to close
and then it's self-sustaining, not like that.
Yeah, right, that would be, that wouldn't work.
No, but the lizards have nothing to do with plants.
They hate plants.
I guess they look like they could do without plants.
They're kind of like the cats of the sort of...
Cats look like they could do without plants. No, but of like the cats of the, of the sort of cats look like they could do with that plant.
No, but like in like, like as in like the way that cats treat us is kind of how
lizards treat plants. You never see a, like a lizard chewing on a leaf.
Well, Alistair, I had to write this to you, but the aquatic iguanas, the
Galapagos islands, off seaweed.
I don't consider seaweed plants.
Really?
I consider it a type of grounded jellyfish.
Interesting.
Yeah.
No.
So I guess that's a flaw in your argument.
That's a real flaw.
It's interesting thing.
They found sponges.
They confirmed recently that sponges are like the oldest thing
to branch off the animal kingdom.
So they're like the first two to branch off the animal kingdom. Right, so they're like the...
The first two to portray the king.
Yes.
The king obviously is blue-green algae.
Correct.
They thought it might have been comb jellyfish,
but turns out that it's a comb jellyfish.
It is amazing jellyfish that like produce
lights and stuff and live very deep in the ocean but they look like a comb. I
don't think so. No, they're the combs or frills on them or something. Do they
fix your hair? They fix your hair out as what is yeah hair jellyfish.
All right well we've come to a dead end. Yeah and absolute dead dead end. I thought introducing the history of the sponge, of course.
That's the sponge thing.
I think that that's good.
I think would really take us places.
No, but I mean, like I think you know, thinking.
So I felt like a whole episode out of the sponge.
Really?
Yeah, I think it was a contraceptive.
To have never, I've never, I don't know what the sponge is.
I don't know if it's even real.
I think they might have made it up.
Really? Yeah, I think, well, yeah, I think the sponge is a contraceptive device. I think they made that up.
No way. What do you mean? It just sounds plausible. But within the world of
Seinfeld, in that episode, sponges are discontinued, right? And then they don't make them anymore. But they wouldn't like if
if it was a real product yeah it would just be there'd be other brands of it and stuff like that
like that it wouldn't it wouldn't cease to exist entirely. Well surely I thought it was just that
maybe it was just like I mean they didn't explain this but they didn't like explain that it's a
it's like a type of contraception that has just been superseded
By by the diaphragm and by the condom and things like that. Like who uses a diaphragm?
Anyway, so my diaphragm, you know, like anything. It's just like it's like a condom that you reuse in the vaginas, that right?
I don't know if you reuse it. Maybe you can reuse it. Okay
I don't know if you reuse it. Maybe you can reuse it. Okay.
Well, yeah, look, I, and Elle, we can try and work this out,
if you like, for the benefit of our listeners.
I don't understand how the diaphragm,
as a thing, as a contraceptive device, works.
Like, it feels to me like you would have to put it
pretty deep inside.
And then that, from that point of view, feels like it would be a nightmare to put it pretty deep inside. And then from that point of view,
it feels like it would be a nightmare
to get it back out again.
And also, I don't know how you would get it out without
like, that spilling the stuff that you put it in there to stuff.
Yeah, I just assumed that it would sort of stick out
at the bottom.
Oh, really? So it's like really long.
Yeah, it's like a condo.
So it is like a condo.
Well, I guess I picture it.
Yeah, it's like a plastic bag.
Yeah, like a plastic bag.
Exactly.
Like a shopping bag.
I don't know how much.
I like what you do with a bin, right?
You have the bin bag.
It comes out the top of the bin.
And then you wrap it around, give it a little twist.
That's how they explained it to kids back in the day.
Right.
So it's a very simple process.
It's like when you've taken out the garbage and you're putting in a new bin liner.
Yeah.
Is the bin liner and the bin bag the same thing?
I think a bin liner is the same as a bin bag.
Great.
Yeah.
So it's a bin bag.
Is there...
Look, I'd like to apologize to all women who listen to the podcast and
especially those who might be listening right now. For what we think how the
diaphragm might work. Yeah. Like how we've just guessed. Well, I think the problem is that in that
metaphor women were a bin basically.
No, women weren't a bin.
The vaginas were a metaphor for a bin.
The vaginas were the metaphor for the bin.
Oh no.
Well then, but I guess, though, that in that metaphor, the penis was garbage.
Was garbage, I guess though. But then that in that metaphor, the penis was garbage. It was garbage, yeah, exactly.
So, you know, it was really quite progressive.
Yeah, it was a product that you were throwing away, but then going,
actually, I think I'm gonna keep this.
Cause you're a hoarder.
I didn't, I thought that sentence.
That sentence was getting in earlier.
And I'm glad that there was a look of terror
in your eyes for the first two thirds of that word.
I was like, what is Andy saying?
It's still a fair question.
Yeah.
So look, I mean, my mind went to how do we turn that
into a sketch?
But it's like, but then the place where it went Look, I mean my mind went to how do we turn that into a sketch?
But it's like but then it was the place where it went was maybe new types of contraception But I mean like the jokes have kind of been done about you know having a you know guitar is like the best
Best contraception or you know, we had a plan. Well, I mean could we to do the bin thing a bit further
Could we do something about,
like, because really the garbage bag is a form of contraception for your bin, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm not happy with this.
Well, I mean, like, there is, you know, if only there was a pill that you could put in
the bin, right?
That's better. And then it would keep the bin clean
Then you would never have to use a bag again and it would just sort of the pill would help decompose the I guess or
This is not good. Oh, just like the thought that you know what my thought was. I mean like I have to say it now, right?
Tell us what my thought was, I mean like I have to say it now, right? Tell us. What my thought was was
That you put the pill in there. Yes, and then once you put garbage in there
I kind of just later on you just tip your
Garbage bin upside down and you let the garbage sort of fall out onto a towel
Is that good? That look it's not good and it not really, it doesn't really work in terms of a metaphor
for how the pill works on it.
I think it's a perfect metaphor for how some people use the pill, or at least how they
did it when they were in high school.
Right.
Oh Jesus, all right, here we go.
We had such a great start and then we started getting into, well, I guess it's much like
having, you know, just trying to have to figure out how the diaphragm works.
And whether or not the sponge is a real thing.
Yeah.
You know, and whether or not they use the first creature to break off from the animal kingdom.
Hmm.
As a contraception thing. I suppose that that would, you know, sort of sperm
would be the kind of thing that sea creatures would eat. You know, it would look very similar.
I mean, are sperm technically an aquatic creature? When the interesting question, I'm going to say yes.
Yeah. Yeah. Oh, well, I'm going to say I'm
fibious. You think so? Well, I mean, do they do well on land, on dry land? Oh, well,
I don't know great, but I think like the salamander, they could probably survive for a short while.
And if they're able to wriggle into a neighboring pool, then they might still thrive.
Like, is there a way that you can make a sperm live for a really long time?
Could you have a good life as a sperm?
I think yeah, all right
You know it's like when Ash catch him decided that
Or Pikachu decided that he didn't want to evolve into a right shoe
He was happy to just stay as a Pikachu like that and is a
He was happy to just stay as a Pikachu like that and is a
Spurm, you know who that doesn't want to sort of let's say evolve into a man or a dead sperm
By man, you mean man or woman. Yes. I mean, I mean, you know the species man man man
Yeah, okay, and is that a legitimate choice for that sperm to make and should we as a society enable that? Be offering them that option. Yeah, and sending them like and should there be should we be
cordoning off maybe an area in in each country so that they can go off and live like you know, oh like a sanctuary and like a wildlife sanctuary
So I guess what it would be would be a huge pool of I guess whatever it is that's in balls that keeps sperm alive
Yeah, yeah, I guess that that's good. Yeah, I guess you would somewhere that doesn't really have that much sort of air that they would be exposed to and
This is this is kind of the logical conclusion of the pro-life people.
Because people make that argument of, well, if life begins at conception,
why isn't a sperm considered a life? Why do you stop there?
Well, maybe we don't stop there.
Maybe we say that sperms are alive.
In any wasted sperm, we put them in a in a pool in a in a sperm sanctuary which
is a big milky pool. Yeah I think you should just have like like a kind of a reverse tap
in your house sort of like a toilet but just a small little tube where you put where you
put like where where women put their eggs and where men put their sperm like that and it
just goes it's a pipe system. I don't think you can put the egg in the sperm in the same
pipe. Right, because then we got a whole, oh yeah, that's true. You know, that's where the
trouble started to begin with. We have a hyzena her pipe. Right. Yeah, great. Okay, I think the
bathroom probably seems fitting. Yeah, and that's where you put your gametes. Your gametes.
That's what the sperm, the egg, the gametes. Oh, right. That's where you put your gametes. Your gametes. That's what the sperm and egg, the gametes.
Oh, right, that's where you put your gametes.
So the, I guess like a kind of a cool name,
like the gam pipes or the gam exit.
Yeah, the gam exit, that's good, gam exit.
And then they all get sucked in there.
I suppose it's probably an evacuated tube
because oxygen is probably harmful to them. Yep, yep. Because you don't have any oxygen in there. I suppose it's probably an evacuated tube because oxygen is probably harmful to them.
Yep.
Because you don't have any oxygen in there, right?
I mean, they probably get some but via blood
or something like that.
So then we gotta be delivering to.
We also have to deliver some kind of like...
Seaman, or the fluid, the seaman fluid,
or whatever it is.
Seaman.
Yeah, that's true.
Possibly we could create like an artificial semantics fluid some some some anaccylid. So we have semen
pipes coming into every house. No no but like much like you know at the bottom
of the toilet there's a bit of water. Okay the bottom of this pipe there's a bit
of yeah there'd be like so the same thing to be the sort of whatever fluids kind
of get made on the inner cervical lining. Prosthank, prostate fluid. I don't think... Cross-tank does.
A cervical lining?
Oh, no, I was just saying you have the fluid.
A prosthetic fluid is like something like, I think, I said somatic before, I've meant
prosthetic.
From the prosthetic fluid, I think it's like 70% maybe of semen.
Yeah, great.
So it's not even that much sperm in there.
So, you know, in the end that
that you can probably recycle. We'll just have like a much like we have sort of water recycling plants.
We'll just have a whole other ecosystem, not ecosystem, but you know, like, you know, like the water
facility just for this prosthetic fluid and the semen and stuff like that. And then we'll extract
and then sort of have I guess, I don't know what's a nice place for
kind of seeming to live I guess just something that just looks like essentially just a big testicle
yeah or like a sort of a tropical
like a like a tropical version of the inside of a testicle yeah okay So it's like they're kind of having a nice life. Yeah.
You know, they get to roam freely, swim freely. And then I guess also we get we get to see
whether or not sperm will turn into something else on their own much like sort of frog tadpole.
You know, frog, frog tadpoles. Interesting. You know, because I think they maybe they've never
really had a chance to live long enough to find out whether they grow legs and become sort of well in the latest
Thor movie
The Hulk has been the Hulk for now two or three years right and so his intelligence has progressed
As the Hulk like a child's wood. Yeah, right?, you know, baby, you know, by two or three
knows a certain number of sentences and stuff.
And then you can interact with them,
so maybe sperm, if they were given the chance,
just a bit of time, you know, it's like the,
the replicants in Blade Runner, you know,
all they need is time.
Yeah, right.
And, and because they've been given this program
for the short life, but if we can give them a chance,
they could do great things.
And likewise, the eggs.
And I think that there's a chance that maybe the sperm and the eggs might, you know, at
some point find like, we start organizing each other and choose a queen or king, you know,
form a society.
Form a society.
And then maybe we could, maybe we could sort of communicate with them or maybe communicate
with them. I mean, we don't communicate with any other sort of creatures
on earth, other than dogs.
We yell at cats.
But maybe we could use them somehow to,
like, you know, whatever form they take later on,
maybe we could use them to sort of replace ants
or something like that and aerate the soil,
that's the soil, or at least sort of gizz up the soil of it.
But I mean, you could see that there could be maybe farming
applications or something like that, to sort of...
Right, right, put them to work.
Yeah, put them to work.
In the environment.
Yeah.
Or maybe they kind of like, you know, maybe they eat garbage.
Or something like that.
You know, like we don't know what their uses are and there might be a whole lot of sort
of industrial applications that we could sort of put sort of older sources.
Sure, as long as that's it.
You know, well, we're treating them as if they have some sort of a life and some sort
of a value as long as what we're doing is ethically defensible, I think.
Oh, of course, yeah.
And, you know, I guess if you think that it's ethically defensible to sort of take bees, honey.
And I guess, it's kind of closer to those face creams
that some people have that are made up
of the ooze from snails.
Right.
So that's what we're harness.
That's probably what we're going to harness.
Some of those byproducts.
Some kind of like eggy, spur know, that's what we're hung it. That's probably what we're gonna hunt some sort of byproduct some kind of like like eggie
Spurmy
Good product. Goof now. I'm gonna put to you a nightmare scenario, right?
Wherever we're storing these these sperms, right in a big dam somewhere, right?
Just a rupture in the dam, right? Yeah, the sperm gets into a river system. Okay?
in the dam, right? The sperm gets into a river system, downstream there's a popular swimming spot, okay, and there's a tidal wave of sperm, 18 feet high,
coming down the river. You see what we've created for us? Yeah, and eggs,
sperm and eggs, maybe they're coming together, they're gonna meet at some sort of
a junction in two
rivers okay and now we've got ourselves like a real geostorm a real like nightmare future scenario
well I wonder whether I'm pitching this as an apocalyptic movie maybe like the blob or Dante's
inferno or something you know with a volcano where they've got a divert, this river of sperm now before it hits the populous swimming area. Yeah, well, probably Jones has got to like use some
diggers and well, I think that if you were like in a sort of large enough sort of
globule of sort of sperm and eggs that have kind of mixed together, there's
probably within there enough protection for the underlayers of eggs
that and sperm that fertilize each other. And by the way, I don't see the sperm fertilizing
the egg. I see the egg also is fertilizing the sperm. So I kind of see that as an equal thing.
Beautiful. Yeah. I don't know if that's how everybody sees it. I just, I was trying to be stupid.
Anyway, but in those under kind of levels.
Al, there are. You were succeeding.
Yeah, great, great.
In those under levels, you know, the deep, unexposed to air,
sort of parts of the globule.
And from gals and hidden from gals,
I think that there's a chance that, you know,
a baby could develop within there like babies could develop because
You know, there's there's enough
Sort of food around at least you know there's left small things that sells could surely extract energy from and chemicals and things like that
That's interesting. Now we've got a whole sea of babies see a baby's without that that haven't sort of grown within a

Discount is not available in all safe and situations. Yeah. Women, or, you know, or a man.
And so then, you know, we might end up with, I mean, this is after because of this big
breach.
Yeah.
We might end up with, if let's say we don't take care of it within, say, nine months,
we could have multiple children that are sort of parentless or at least anonymous, say, nine months, we could have multiple children that are sort of
parentless or at least anonymous, yeah anonymous reason. I don't
really know where that takes us. That's the children of nature.
I mean, the children of the globule, and they might be different
in some way. Yeah, possibly they wouldn't lose their
tails.
There might be more enlightened. They might be our last best hope for the future of humanity.
Yeah, I guess that's something.
I think this is a sketch, Alistair.
I think the creation of these sanctuaries for a start
as like a sort of a dystopian, you know, right wing future
where we've extended life, you know life human rights to these gametes.
And also scientifically to see what does happen when these things live for a long time.
Well, that's the other side of it.
We get to now see what they can do on their own without us interfering with them and forcing
them to fertilize.
And this is just another sort of,
this is more of a question than it is a comment.
But I wonder whether like,
what is the lifespan of a sperm inside of the body?
And also, when if they die in the body,
are any of the other sperm sad?
Like is there a form of sort of sperm sadness
that we could study?
Yeah, well, you know, they've been together. And by the way, your brother has been looking
for a band name. I think sperm sadness would be far too.
George, if you're listening to the podcast, thank you for editing it.
Thank you for having me. Please take out some of the earlier stuff and
sperm sadness is on the table. Yeah.
sperm sadness is on the table is it? It's just a modern dilemma.
Yeah. You know what I don't like is all these mammals that are subterranean, right?
Yeah, right. Because I mean, what are you doing to yourself
by making that decision?
I'm talking marmots, I'm talking groundhogs.
Yeah.
Wombats?
Do you include wombat?
Wombats, I feel like they've created enough space
around themselves.
Right.
So that it's just kind of a home.
Yep.
I don't think that a wombat would do well in a collapsed bit of dirt.
Yeah.
But I think that kind of like moles and groundhogs, that's what they do.
They don't even necessarily have like a tunnel behind them, right?
They're just digging forwards, pushing the stuff back.
It's insanity.
Yeah.
It's just constantly in a like a collapsed mind.
Well, constantly like in a state of like trying to achieve
some kind of prison break, right?
And yet never actually being free.
The prison break animals.
Yeah.
That's their niche.
And like, but like, they might constantly
be in a state of panic attack.
Like, because I mean, the fear of collapse, like, you know, surely they, they must be aware there's people walking above them, creatures walking above them.
They must be.
But also that, like, you know, I don't know, it's just, there's just, it's just not a way to live.
Now, man has, since time immemorial, man has looked to the birds and envied their gift
of flight.
Right.
Has man ever looked to the moles and envied their gift of a subterranean nightmare existence
filled with nothing but terror and darkness?
I think that that's a great philosophical question. But what I think that we should do as a people
is we should gift these animals with, I mean I know this already sounds a little bit like the previous sketch,
but we give them a place outside of the dirt that recreates enough of the things darkness, you know,
maybe like a bunch of pillows so that they're up against something.
Now why have you limited this to mammals? Why not earthworms? Like what makes you think that they're any less contemptible?
I just don't think that they have, like I think they probably don't have thoughts in the same ways that the mammals do.
But from a humorous point of view, would we be better off saying that we've decided that
it's unconscionable that we allow any animals to live in the ground?
Sure.
Right?
I mean, from a humorous point of view, I think it would be a humorous point.
I mean, if we made worms say like an aerial creature, you know, if we kind of hooked them up. Force them to live in the sky. Yeah.
You know or gave them the opportunity to live in the sky.
Hooked them up with a lot of kind of like sort of I guess like a worm operated sort of paragliding kind of maybe motorized sort of solar panel type of thing.
Yeah or just shot them out of a tube. Yeah, like I mean, fire them up into clouds.
Funk.
Yeah.
Funk.
Funk.
Like that.
I mean, yeah, I think a worm would do pretty well
in an updraft, but we could flatten them out a little bit.
You know, flatten them a little bit, yeah.
Okay, good.
You know, like, you know, you've seen the Japanese
sort of grow those melons in a
in a cube thing and they make a cube melon well if we start growing worms in
a sort of like you know sort of in the between the pages of a rim of paper
yep and so they come out kind of flatter like a flatwood like a flatworm
like that but you know we work out the aerodynamics we then we teach it to use
that to fly. Yes. If you ever made one of those airplanes where you just use a straw and then two
bits of paper that are just like a strip of paper that makes it kind of like a circle
tapes like that and then a circle on the other side and you throw that and that works as like a
paper plane. What's your grind? Did that that were two flat worms in a long skinny worm?
I think there's another way,
there's a broader thing that we can tag this onto, right?
Which is that for so long,
man, mankind's ambition has been selfish, right?
It's, you know,
we'll be right and we'll be right.
They wanted to build the aeroplane so that humans could fly in the sky.
But if they wanted to build the aeroplane so that worms could fly in the sky,
that's way more noble.
Absolutely.
Because it's selfless.
And if we say, look, we've had a good, and we've, as humanity, we've reached a pretty
good level.
Now we'd like to give another species a leg up to our level.
Let's bring some others up to our level.
It's like those established comedians in the industry who are giving opportunities to
younger people.
They bring a young up in Comeron tour with them to open for them.
Yeah, exactly.
So now we as humankind say, look,
we've got so much stuff, life's pretty good.
Let's give something back.
Let's now focus on helping earthworms
to achieve their potential.
Yeah, absolutely.
And at the same time, should we be giving birds
the opportunity to experience what it's like
to not be able to fly by
sort of anchoring them to the ground. Interesting. Yeah, they probably envy our
gift of walk. Not having to fly. Yes. Yeah. We've tried this in the past when we
fired dogs into space, but we realized that that was too much too quickly. We
did more gradual, you know, we should have just talked to the skate.
Well, I think that maybe the reason why we didn't like the doing the dogs and spaces,
because then we actually brought dogs to a level where they were way above us at that point.
Right, that's true. They were the first dogs went to space before you.
Yeah, I don't think they got a bit big for their boots.
And so we were like, no more other species achieving things before us.
Because I mean, look, I would be interested in actually finding out. Because I mean, I don't know
who did that first, was it the Russian? Yeah, I think it was Laka. No, not Kordelaka.
Laka, yeah, but right. But then also, was the dog a type of Russian sort of native Russian dog or was it could have been like a Chinese dog or it could have been like an African dog
So technically like possibly Africa got to space
First maybe a maybe a Western it might have been a Western European dog. Any I'm just saying
It's complicated. So then not only dogs are making it before us but it's actually like some different
country countries dog countries dog
All right, Al. Have we got anything out of it all of this okay wait, right? So I think I
Like the idea of the leg up, you know the the hand up the helping hand the helping leg
You know, we're always giving Al always a helping hand
you know, we're always giving, always a helping hand, but what about just for once a helping leg, you know, or helping, helping thigh, or helping scapulae? It's all I'm saying.
To another species. And maybe, maybe something that isn't as worms is funny, like maybe moles is actually better because they're more, you know, they're just
the funniest sized animal, they're just like a hand sized animal.
Yeah.
The mole, I think.
Yeah, they'd probably be perfect, like a hand fruit.
That's what's interesting about, you know, like hand fruit, is that, you know, it's hand
sized, perfect for eating, but you don't do that with meat. You don't get a good like hand-size chunk of meat
A handmade yeah, a hand meat, but like we're like a hand animal that you could just eat like a hamster a mole
Possibly a large rat
You know, yeah, I guess the guinea pig that they eat in South America is probably the closest that you get to that
I think those guinea pigs are actually a bit too big for one hand.
Yeah, right. They have quite, you know, they're, they're closer to like, you know,
somewhere in a, between your sort of domestic guinea pig and like a capubara or whatever those
things are. Oh, really? I think they're like, I always picked you just like a little domestic
size guinea pig, but these are, these are bigger. I thought they were bigger. Anyway, they look
bigger, bigger when they've been butterflyed and sort of deep fried and put off on a plate. Look, I think the idea that
the reason why we stopped putting dogs and chimps and spaces because they actually were
achieving things before us as a little mini sketch is. Yeah, I think that's I think that's great I think like we could if we
wanted to look into why it was a dog that when in a space like it's quite it's
quite a sad thing if you think about it at all but if you don't think about it
at all and then you think about it a lot could we justify that you know maybe
this dog was incredibly smart it was the first dog to graduate from University at a really young age and actually got there but on merit. I would
love to see what any of the the choices were based on and that they weren't
just based on that's a that's a dog that's nearest right now. I think I think
it's probably like an airbud type situation. There was
something like spacebar. There's nothing in the rules that says we can. Exactly.
The first man, there's nothing in the rules that says the first man in space
has to be a man. And this dog is actually one of the most gifted astronauts we've ever seen.
And, you know, that snooty head coach from the other team, he tried to lodge a complaint,
but...
Yeah, it was true.
There's, you know, a lot of the time they send astronauts up and they, a lot of them
are scientists of some sort and things like that and, and sort of pilots.
Right?
But it turns out that with, you know,
you don't really need a lot of that stuff, especially
if you can sort of control the rocket from the ground.
And if anything, a lot of those extra bits and knowledge
were disadvantaged to a lot of the other, like, human applicants
because they tended to overthink it a little bit you know as they were going on yeah oh but I'm definitely gonna die on this
flight oh what about my family and things like that and you didn't sort of get
that much of that from the dog exactly a couple of whimpers couple of whimpers
but that could have been anything suppose it a, you know, sending a cow would have been. Pfft.
Would have been two.
Pfft.
Pfft.
You know, would have been two.
I wonder if we'll ever put a cow in space.
Yeah.
Because that's, that's quite good, isn't it?
Yeah.
That's a fun.
It's a fun thing to picture.
It's a fun thing to picture. It's a fun, like, you know, if we didn't already have a sketch that was basically already this,
I think something about putting a cow in space, I think that would be quite good.
I think a cow would do pretty well on the moon.
I think that they would be, actually, if you could get like a cow sort of...
Well, they can basically already say the word moon.
basically already say the word moon.
Which is a great prerequisite for whether or not it all here allowed on a planet. Let's say we send it one, I mean maybe, maybe Kasa from the moon and that's why they're saying it all the time.
But maybe we send one of every animal to any place that sounds like that's what they're saying.
Right, just in case, you know, because of what's that exo fertilization, you know, the idea
that life on earth came from other planets, right, we've always speculated it's in some
sort of tiny little organic molecule, but maybe, right,? It was like a lizard or a, you know,
an ibis came in on a meteorite, right?
So just on the off chance,
let's send these creatures to whatever things
sounds like the noise they make.
It could have been like a proto-Z-boo.
A Z-boo?
Yeah, a proto-Z-boo.
proto-Z-boo.
Yeah.
What's a Z-boo?
That's some kind of bovine, you know, African big horns Z-boot.
Andy, come on.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Al.
They used the word in the Simpsons.
Look, I do like, I mean, I don't know if there's anything in the cow, but I'll just
do, you know, I guess I was going to add to that. That's right, I don't know if there's anything in the cow, but I'll just to, you know, I guess I was gonna add to that.
That's right. I forgot. I got distracted by the zoo, zoo boothing. I was gonna say that maybe horses,
we send them back, at least send one to Naples.
That too close. That's too bad. Yeah.
That's, yeah, that's, that's, it's.
It's pretty bad. Yeah. Yeah. That's, yeah, that's, that's, it's pretty bad.
Yeah. Yeah.
It would be amazing if there was an animal that their,
that their call sounded a bit like Montevideo.
You know that movie? It's a healthy state.
I don't know if that movie, that was, that place.
Yeah, Montevideo.
Montevideo. I think it would be more interesting and more relevant to the sketch
if there was an animal that said Proxima Centauri.
Yeah, yeah.
Was it, you know, that was a mating call or something?
Yeah.
Oh, I lost it.
I did have another place where we were going to go with them, but I've forgotten it.
Oh, was it Proxima Centauri?
Well, I was going to correct you obviously on your terrible level.
Prognics, some name, a nation. Technically we have, we have a technical five.
Now, I think the way we're going, we should probably get out of this if we can.
Okay. Stage of disment. I don't know how do you feel. Would you like to go for
something more? Well, you know, I think anytime we have this conversation, it's
not, it doesn't bowed well from have this conversation, it's not something.
It doesn't bode well for the episode.
No, no, no. So look, we'll have a technical fight. We'll call it a technical fight.
Sure.
I'm sorry about most of the podcast.
And yeah, I think we've had a fun time.
Great.
Yeah, I think it's been a good podcast.
Great.
I look, I feel awful at the end of many of them, but I think that this has been a fun one.
Great. Great.
So obviously first sketches, ham hoarders, spin-off, we've actually got three TV shows
in the pipeline, and that's a great thing to be able to walk up to a TV channel and say,
hey, this is already three TV shows, and that's what you're getting in one package.
They like you very often to be able to come up and say, you know, when you buy the season,
well, we know what we're going to do in the next season and the season after that, right?
But to be able to come up and say, we also know what we're going to do when you cancel
this show.
Yeah.
We've got another show.
Yeah, we got another on the go.
I think that's really powerful.
Yeah.
So we got ham hoarders, which is, you know, season, it's basically a spin off of hoarders and
they, just for people who are hoarding ham.
So it can be like, some people's houses look like there's nothing there, but there's
like ham and the walls and the floors and things like that.
Some people that are not refrigerating the ham at all.
Just piles of ham.
Just piles of ham.
Some people have some ham.
I have a small amount of ham.
They only have a small amount of ham, but lots of pigs in their house.
Yeah, right.
And I think a person, sort of like a cat lady, but like a pig lady, right?
A pig lady, and who has like just a fridge with like maybe just a reasonable sort of personal use quantity of hand.
But then just has, you know, once those peaks start breeding, I think a lot of
hoarders as well, they might not have much stuff in their house, but then if you can't, if you look
into it, they've got like a lot of storage, they've booked a lot of, you know, storage containers and
stuff, a different place in their full of ham. That's really good, because then we can get into one of
those storage wars kind of TV shows where people don't know, and it's just a small ham. Well, that's a right people
That's a lot of ham that's good money. Yeah, oh my god. That is absolutely dense with
It's like a solid block ahead. They roll up the roller do it. It's like a can of spam. It's just packed in there
We got any bids 10,000 dollars. I'm gonna be able to sell all this ham to a butcher shop. I know a butcher down in Montevalli,
who buys second-hand ham.
Old ham.
All right, it turns out that I'm having trouble,
more trouble moving the ham than I thought I would.
Deep in the ham turns out there was an original Atari.
And anyway, that was using a valuable ham space.
And so I've chucked that.
Oh, now away.
Anyway, all right.
Then we got word, weird addiction terrarium,
which is where we've basically created an ecosystem
with people with weird addictions. And ones that kind of cancel out each other and all those evolutionary nations.
And all those evolutionary nations.
People that love de-clogging the drain as like a weird sex thing.
And then somebody who loves to clog up some pipes
Possibly someone who just likes to grow their hair really long and then like rip it all out rip it all out in the shower
Or you know just let it malt at a natural right because I think maybe the person who decogs can't decog that fast either
I guess you can decog faster
I feel like if you've got a fetish for decog and grains. You can probably do it pretty quick. But then also maybe the fetish is in doing
it slowly. Yeah, and then maybe the other people's fetish or you know, or weird addiction
is being in a large group of sort of people that look like Cousinit. Yes. It's sort of
like it's it's called it's warming and it's where you just all hang out together and
then you go and like swarm a place with cousin it
You make people think that your cause playing and just some kind of weird
You're not cause playing you actually are
Cousin it as much as you can be a person
They think that their cousin in they act like cousin in they talk like they identify as they identify as cousin it and they
Mult like cousin it, they talk like cousin it. They identify as. They identify as cousin it, and they malt like cousin it.
And as a swarm.
So it's like they sort of take on B qualities.
Yeah.
It's swarming.
It's gonna get bigger than you think.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And it's already pretty big.
And I wouldn't be surprised if actually, it's those people running around that are maybe
cleaning up the, that are sort of picking up with their sort of long bristles of hair,
a lot of the triple shit that the double...
Oh, so that's great.
It's forming dags on the bottom of the...
Yeah, and then it lands in the drains and then the drain, I picks it out of the drain and I guess...
Perfect. I don't know what he does with that, but... And then it lands in the drains and then the guy the drain guy picks it out of the drain and I guess I perfect
Don't know what he does with that, but hey, that's his business. His business
So then we got the sperm and egg sandwich with sanctuaries. So it's a place. It's a really interesting. Yeah, I think it's a very interesting place
Um
I want to know the tubes from the houses are they sort of are they sort of suctioned or something just ago?
Yeah, yeah along the pipe. I guess they would probably have to have sort of like
Like a vacuum seal like in it like a synafina spaceship before you go out and and walk an airlock an airlock like that So you you sort of I guess you drop your the payload whatever it is in the payload into the into the
The lock airlock then it closes and then he goes sort of like a like a a plane toilet goes
goes, after you close it like that, yeah, or it's I guess it's a little, you know, or there's another metaphor, it's a little bit like going into the lemur enclosure at, um,
at sort of Melbourne Zoo, where you have to kind of go in and then one close behind you.
Yeah, and then the door opens like that, because you don't want any of the lemurs slash sperm slash
eggs to get out.
It's like an analogue, but for lemurs.
And I think if the eggs were to evolve,
to grow into another form, that would also
be more surprising.
Because I mean, I've really focused on the sperm
because they're so tadpole.
Well, they got a tail. Yeah. But if the kind of the eggs became like a bit of a,
you know, like took a kind of, like a sort of jiggly puff kind of quality. Well, I could believe
they're more likely to come together to form some kind of a super organism, you know, like I can
picture them having more of a like like a slime mold kind of an existence, you know, more sort of a collective intelligence maybe. Yeah, but that's women for you. Yeah, see.
Is it? No. No, but also I wanted to clarify that the eggs in this sketch will have agency. I'm starting to feel that even this joke is sexist.
So I apologize.
Giving the-
Even this.
Even this joke.
Well, the joke, which was initially supposed to be at the expense of the inbuilt sexism
that are just choices of picking men all the time that is within that, then to sort of make fun of ourselves, I think,
even within the jokes now, there's sexism within that.
Yeah, almost certainly.
Andy, we can't escape.
But also, like, the fact that you relentlessly give women agency in our sketches, whether
they want it or not, I think, is in a way overriding their agency.
No, I think agency is a thing that you can give to women
in a sketch and it's never wrong.
No, I don't.
Jesus, how does this feel wrong?
Even me saying it, having this anyway.
All right, giving animals a leg up,
after we've had such a good girl,
to see what kind of, to give them a great life like we have.
Yeah, so what is it, there's like an academy somewhere
where they're trying to teach the sum of human knowledge
and experience to worms or moles.
Yeah, I think moles are a good starting point. Yeah. Um, that, you know, I think
every, every decade they pick one animal. Yeah, we give it
would go. Yeah, and we give it would go. And then we allow,
and we know we do, we'll have wildlife sanctuaries, but then
we'll also have other species, basically small cities and
stuff like that that will sort of build for them that is, you
know, accessible for them.
Very disappointing. Moll City has totally fallen into disrepair.
Of crenches we've given them every opportunity, but they seem to have no interest
once or ever in running a functioning society.
And then we go to war with them and like,
Oh, wow.
And sort of like, try to like, we know we send in the military and try to like fix
their society and take, take it out of their hands because we're like, you're mistreating your people.
Like Ray James' change, we're trying to do Ray James' change.
Ray James' change, we're trying to put in sort of a...
We install a puppet mall, maybe a groundhog, maybe a mere cat.
Wow.
Yeah. Wow, yeah And then we have dogs were the first in space and then they but then we stopped sending dogs because they actually got too big for their boots
and yeah, because they they had
They had achieved way more than any man had and
Well, they actually didn't give us credit when they were talking to their other dog friends
You know the fact that we actually put them in space, but the way they told it, we
barely featured in the story.
And you can picture that being a thing that the Russians would develop is like a device
so that they could understand dog language to see whether or not they're taking credit
so that we can punish them by killing them or whatever and never sending them into space
again.
I mean, because people do say that it's sad, obviously.
Like, people said it's sad, the story of sending a dog up into space and that it died.
But is that more sad than the fact that no dogs ever get to go into space anymore?
I think that that's sort of an eternal sadness that all dogs suffer from to this day,
whereas at least the
other dog got to die and not have to continue suffering.
We've really thrown the baby out of the bath water in our rush to avoid dogs dying in
space.
We ruled out the idea of dogs being in space at all and I think that's a real shame.
Yeah, it's a real dog shame.
And that is.
Uh.
Go and steal the band of the tune.

Obviously you guys are already giving so much,
but you can give money at the Patreon.
It's patreon.com slash 2ntank

And also, oh, somebody's come up with an idea for a reward
which was that you guys could give us a suggestion for like a possible
kind of like a three word suggestion or three word inspiration and we'll come up
with a sketch idea based on it and I think that's the idea so we'll put that on
the Patreon. Yeah we'll put that on the Patreon. I don't know what's like three

are word. Three. That would be a Bucke word. Bucke word.
A Bucke word and then we'll occasionally pick one up and then we'll do that on an episode
and then you get to, and maybe we'll say your name.
