Starting point is 00:00:00 Hi icons, it's Danny Pellegrino from the Pop Culture Podcast, everything iconic, and I love Nordstrom. No place better to shop, particularly during the holiday season, because they have everything. They have holiday decor at Nordstrom. They have cozy cardigans from Barefoot Dreams, my fave. They have cold weather attire, party attire, plus free shipping and free returns. Free store pickup, you can also purchase a recycled fabric gift bag so your item arrives festive and wrapped. So check out Nordstrom this holiday season, a one-stop shop. You can explore more at Nordstrom in store or online at Nordstrom.com.
Starting point is 00:00:39 This podcast is part of the Planet Broadcasting Network. Visit Planet Broadcasting.com for more podcasts from our great mates. George said that I never do the drumbeat for the intro songs. And I just like to see the look on his face now, when he's listening to that. He is gonna be eating his words. He's gonna have nothing, he's gonna be nothing, he's gonna be a shell of a man.
Starting point is 00:01:12 No, he's gonna be the phantasmann you've ever seen. Because of all the words, he's eating. Yeah, I mean some words feel like they would be fattier than other words, right? Like the word auroborus. Oh yeah. That feels like that is just pure lad. Oh, it's just...
Starting point is 00:01:28 In your mouth. Like, it's just all material. Creamy, whereas surprisingly, like the word thin, well, it's not surprising because it fits, but you know these days, just something that works is surprising. I'm not surprised at all. No? It's one of those things that, yeah,
Starting point is 00:01:49 it just washes off me. Like a water off a duck who's expecting water. Wow. So the duck doesn't even, like, could a duck look shocked, do you think? It would have to try so hard. So hard that it would actually be disappointing Do you think? It would have to try so hard. So hard that it would actually be disappointing for the other ducks, how hard they would have
Starting point is 00:02:12 to look shocked at how shocked that duck looks. So it would just create this sort of chain reaction of ducks working very hard. Of effort. Yeah. That would be the end for ducks. Do you think so? I think one of the problems very hard. Of effort, yeah. That'd be the end for ducks. Do you think so? I think one of the problems for animals, and one of the reasons why we're able to mistreat them
Starting point is 00:02:32 as much as we do, thank God, is. And it's their fault, I'm hoping you're gonna tell us it's their fault. 100% their fault, because what it is, is they haven't taken, because so much of communication is body language, we know this. We say it all the time, animals must have overheard and yet animals make absolutely no effort to mimic our body language. Sure they can't speak English but they've got limbs and faces. They could use those limbs and faces
Starting point is 00:03:00 to sort of talk to us and express their pain and their suffering. And yet they don't. I've never once seen a pig with its arms crossed. Not once. Frowning. You know, I mean, I've seen they don't look happy a lot of the time. But that usually undermines everything I was trying to say. But it's not necessarily frowning. It could just be a resting nothing face. Yes. Resting pig face.
Starting point is 00:03:25 Yeah, resting pig face. But also, humans make a real effort with animals. If we drive past them, we sort of yell the sound of that animal out of the car. Moooo! Quack, quack! We're trying so hard. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:41 When we talk to dogs, we try to talk in a way that they would understand like a Oh no, a dog, you are you a dog, you're a dog, you're a dog, you're a dog, you're a dog, you're a dog, you're a dog, you're a bloody dog. We communicate concepts that they should be able to grasp like the fact that they're a dog. And yet, you know, it's just, it's just, it's got to be a two way street, you know. Yeah, and I guess I'm, I always find it humorous that along the way, along human society, there have been people who have tried to bridge the gap between human and animal communication. You know, like that guy who, who set up that house with, that was half filled up with water so that that woman could live with that dolphin.
Starting point is 00:04:26 Yeah, is that real? I believe so. Yeah. He, it, it, it, leading up to it, I think he had taken a lot of LSD and a lot of K to mean. K, K to mean? Yeah, not special K. No, no.
Starting point is 00:04:40 Although it's pretty special K. It is very special K. It's so special. And maybe it would have left his body looking You know he would have had that special K challenge body. Yes. I mean, I wish we were getting money from Kellogg's here Anyway, how is it that you eat special K and you're supposed to get a nice body when all it is is just white carbs Advertising yeah, it's probably advertising. It's probably about putting strawberries in it, mostly these strawberries. There to be great if you your body. Because again, to go back to body language. 70% of language is communicated by
Starting point is 00:05:15 your body, but your body doesn't understand anything. Like your body is putting it out there, but it can't pick up on anything. So you try and communicate to your body and tell it to lose weight. You sit there, your body is watching the ads as much as you are, and yet the body learns nothing about the fact that you should be losing weight from special K. It seems like a lot of the learning burden is rested upon the consciousness, and the body itself, sure, there's a bit of muscle memory. Right. But a lot of the memory gets done by the brain.
Starting point is 00:05:48 Sure. And where does that muscle memory come from? It comes from the brain telling the body to do things. A lot of conscious effort. Yes, teaching the body. Teaching the body. So, I mean, that's all good. So, like, I guess the body is kind of like a bad student in that it can learn learn but it really has
Starting point is 00:06:06 to be tutored and really like it needs one-on-one sort of training when we don't really have the time to spend time with every part of your body and teach it to do things. The body is very much a kinesthetic learner that learns by doing. You can't just describe things to your body. You can't do book learning for for example, for your body, which I think is a real shame, which is what they got around in the movie The Matrix, I believe, is that they could just download information straight into the body. Oh, it's in the body as well. That's right, because I mean, the plug goes into the brain, but I guess the nerves and everything
Starting point is 00:06:41 like that, they know about it too. I think there must be some muscle memory involved because you couldn't be like, I know come. Food. That would have been one of the most difficult things for those programmers, not only to be able to get the information into the brain, but then to be able to program it so that the muscles know what to do
Starting point is 00:06:58 and allowing for the differences in people's bodies. Is there a sketch in like giving people seminars or whatever in talking to their body? Like whispering to your thighs, right? So yeah, we've got the horse whisperer, we've got the people who can do sign language to chimpanzees. But like, can we just talk to our own body? Sure, whispering to thighs, yelling at asses. Yeah, having a stern talking to with your cheeks. Cheeks. What about just talking to your mouth? Hey, that's beautiful.
Starting point is 00:07:37 Okay, and what are these? I mean, and what are we trying to get out of these conferences or these? I mean, assume it's a conference, people are paying a lot of money. Well, it's all about like, because mindfulness, right, is about listening to your body and being aware of your body, but there's no sense that your body is aware of you. Okay? Yeah. You'll need to. We've got to listen
Starting point is 00:08:12 to the body, sure, but it's got to be a two way street. Yeah. And why is it that they expect like the ears to listen to the body? Yes. That what they're saying? Or are we listening with our insides? I mean, because when they say listen to your body, they're not saying listen to the sounds your body's making. No, that's a mistake. That's level one mistake. You can lose one, two, three years of Buddhist meditation. They're like, oh, okay, I'm like, I had a grumble.
Starting point is 00:08:45 Well, this is like, this is like slide two or three. After introductions in this seminar, first thing is let's get rid of that little literal interpretation of listening to your body, because a lot of people are going to get caught up in that. Listen to their body to your body. By the way, nothing that's ever actually been said. I'm sure. no, I have definitely heard it listen to your body. Yeah, okay, great. I've learned that I have to listen to my body.
Starting point is 00:09:11 It's telling me when I'm injured or when I'm tired or when I need to take a break or maybe I'm in danger or maybe there's money around the corner. And my body knows. What do you know? Yeah. Yeah, so I want to be able to talk like directly to your thumb or whatever it may be. Yeah. So I guess mean maybe each part of the body has its own language in some way. You've got to think about like what concepts would the thumb understand,
Starting point is 00:09:39 you know, bending and that kind of thing. Like the thumbs up feels like a pretty clear thing. But does the thumb even really know when the thumb is up? Does the thumb understand what that means? And does it know how much work it has to put in, like, how much collaboration? Maybe the thumb thinks that the thumbs up is all it. Yeah. It doesn't know that there's four other fingers who are all doing something to make the thumbs up meaningful. Did you just roll your eyes at me?
Starting point is 00:10:12 Not at all. No, I think I'd started thinking about something else. We just performed a sketch for our sketch show on stage and then I... It went really well. If you're thinking, if you're worried about the sketch show that we're doing a comedy festival We just performed live on stage and it was it was it was great. It was the first Live performance of the first sketch we're gonna do in the show Yeah, and it went it went well quite well. I mean, I forgot my first line Sure after that Alistair we were on a roll, but Andy did that so that The other audiences he did that to did that so that the other audiences, he did that to that audience so that the important audiences
Starting point is 00:10:49 to us, you guys don't have to go through that. Yeah, I also did tell them up the top that they weren't an important audience to me. And I tried to communicate it through my body language. Yes. All right, we got to get some sketch out of this, talking to your body seminar. Yeah. You know, it's somebody who teaches you how to talk to your body, how to talk the language
Starting point is 00:11:08 of different parts of your body. Are you just trying to get, what are you trying to get out of it? Like you're trying to get your body to work better? Yeah. Is it a pain reduction thing? You know what your body is telling you, but it doesn't know what you're saying to it. A lot of people focus on pain reduction, but they should be focused on pleasure, encouragement.
Starting point is 00:11:29 I think a lot of people are focused on that as well. Yeah, but people who are in a lot of pain. Yeah. Yeah, that's interesting, right? Like, as a medical therapy, that like sure you've got an injured back, right? But maybe we can drown that out by giving your lower leg such a good time.
Starting point is 00:11:50 Yeah, such a, if we could get your leg into a state of euphoria. Yeah, just utter bliss. Somewhere, you know, just below the thigh, but above the knee, I am absolutely experiencing the sublime. Below the thigh, but above the knee. So am absolutely experiencing the sublime. Below the thigh, but above the knee. So you reckon that your thigh isn't all the stuff between your hip and your knee?
Starting point is 00:12:14 Some of it must just be general leg. Just like. I mean, can't all be thigh. Surely, like you. Especially once the bone starts to change shape. You know, once it starts to move outward into that kind of double knuckle. Yeah, it's sort of shedding its vifleness
Starting point is 00:12:34 and becoming much more just generally leaky. That's right, but it's not quite knee. It's not quite knee, you know? Yeah, I'm trying to... I'm trying to picture what that is, like, you know, it's... Because the sausage has sausage ends, but the middle bit is all just plain sausage. So there must be some of your leg that is just leg. I believe so, yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:59 Is there any part of the leg that is uncategorised? Like that there are some regions in Africa which no country has claimed? I just want to know what part of the body that is uncategorized? Like that there are some regions in Africa which no country has claimed. I just wanna know what part of the body is yet to be categorized? Well, definitely above the shin and below the knee. There's a kind of- That calf, eh?
Starting point is 00:13:16 No, that's in the back. No, the calf is all the back, right? Okay, so you're right. Not what is that bit? Because the shin stops, I reckon about two-thirds of the way from the foot to the knee. And then just that bit up the top there. That's definitely just leg. That's just leg. That's pure leg. Right. And it's spread around. It's kind of like Alaska or whatever. Leg has, you know, it's part of one big part of the body, but it's
Starting point is 00:13:46 all over the place. I think also the part below the calf, but above the ankle. Yes. Yeah, that's a lot of, there's some leg there. There's a bit good leg, good leg territory. It's crazy that Alaska is part of the United States, but is like not connected to it. I like I understand Hawaii is some islands, but Alaska is like mainland that is just like in a separate bit Be amazing to find out that there was a bit of your leg that was sort of like in your armpit Sure or in your dog in your dog. Yeah next door under the television and that you could feel it Yeah, I mean if there was a part of your body that we external to yours We've got it. We've got to write down this by the way
Starting point is 00:14:24 I think the thing about bits like what's pure leg. Oh, what's pure leg? Okay? I mean, if there was a part of your body that was external to yours, we've got to write down this by the way. What is this? The thing about bits, like, what's pure leg? Oh, what's pure leg, okay. I think, I think, like, okay, how's that a sketch? I don't know. Well, I mean, look, it could just be, it's a doctor talking to camera or an anatomist, who's clarifying what the leg is.
Starting point is 00:14:43 I mean, the leg obviously is the whole, as a whole, but categorize these bits parts of the leg, these subsections. It would be, I guess it would be like if Africa, like you mentioned Africa, if the parts that aren't claimed by any country were just considered Africa. Yeah, well, they still are, aren't they?
Starting point is 00:15:01 They are Africa. Yeah, and it's just because there's no lower level, there's no lower level. Right, sub-Africa. A sub-classification of Africa. So it's just, it remains Africa all the way down. Yes. So Africa, the continent of Africa,
Starting point is 00:15:17 is equally Africa, everywhere in Africa. Right? There are no bits of Africa that are more Africa than anywhere else, and there are no bits that are less Africa than anywhere else. So everywhere in Africa is at a base level of like a certain amount of Africa. Okay, but what about Egypt? That kind of feels like it's not Africa. I mean I don't want to get into trouble but I think you're right. I mean look I feel like it's a rank call of Africa in its Africa, I guess Egypt is ranking
Starting point is 00:15:53 a lot. Egypt feels more Middle East. Egypt, to me, feels more like a showroom. You know, like it feels like sort of a place where you go to look at pyramids and stuff like that. Yeah, it's kind of like an open-air museum. I don't really believe that the people there are actually in a real society. I think it's just sort of put on to kind of just maintain the museumness of it. Yeah, and I believe we have at least one listener who's in Egypt. Yeah, but I would both like to apologize and say you're welcome
Starting point is 00:16:27 Yeah, to you for for both insulting your country, but also summarizing it perfectly So sorry, where were you going with this Africa thing? No, where no where at all. No, I mean, I you know, I guess I guess if Alistair, look, there's in my mind, Africa, the property of being Africa, and any continent, but I'm just using that as an example, is a certain amount of liquid in a big tank. We have a tank full of Africanness. And if you've got the commoner of Africa, you spread that all over Africa. So you can work out the like per square foot, every part of Africa is 0.001 to Africa. So it's not that much Africa. It's not that much Africa, because Africa is quite big. And then something. I've got to think about it. You should have just had more water.
Starting point is 00:17:25 Yeah. Okay, right. So there wasn't anything more to it. There's nothing more to that. But even mountainous areas, they're the same amount of Africa. I think there would have to be Africa would have to be some kind of a property that doesn't run downhill, right? Because that would mean that valleys were more Africa than mountain tops.
Starting point is 00:17:42 And I guess it makes you think though about this whole Egypt fiasco that we kind of encountered before. Yeah. Is that, you know, maybe that's the thing. Is that Africa, I mean, Egypt has equal amount property of Africa, but I don't have any of that Africa in my brain, you know. Right. And so it's a, maybe I've kind of got a blockage or something like that.
Starting point is 00:18:03 Maybe I kind of got, I have some Africa blindness. Or maybe it's just all, it's all been absorbed by the sand. Do you think that could happen? I think maybe the property is hugely absorbent. It's very readily absorbed. Do you think in the talking to your body seminar, you could convince your hands of something? Yeah, I think that would be great. Yeah, could you hypnotize your knees?
Starting point is 00:18:26 You could hypnotize your hips of something. Yeah, I think that would be great. Yeah, could you hypnotize your knees? You could hypnotize your hips. Yeah. How would you feel if instead, like, you know, let's say you had a bad hip and they decided to actually just remove the hip, but just put the knee there. So you just lose that whole part of the leg and like that whole thigh bit. Yep. Right. And then and then it's just knee. So they just kind of they keep a bit of extra leg so they can jam it in. Yep. Up up up up the top there where the hip would be. Up the top there. And then you just can sort of just bend and you can sort of curtsy. It would be you'd be in a kind of constant curtsy.
Starting point is 00:19:05 Well, yeah, but you could also definitely like walk along whenever there's like one of those little ledges and long next to it, like a garden by the side of the footpath. You could have one foot up on that and then one on the ground. Wait, okay. Well, you've got a shorter leg, right? One of your legs is shorter. Oh, no, I was picturing both. I'm sorry. I was picturing both.
Starting point is 00:19:23 Are you doing both? I was picturing just one. Oh, yeah I was picturing both. Are you doing both? How was picturing just one? Oh yeah, but I mean, obviously, if you were just doing one, you could do that. Or I guess most of the time, you could sort of have a paint can under your foot. A paint can. You know, and hold it with the string, like those old times. Yeah, hold it with the string.
Starting point is 00:19:39 All those old timey stilts. Yeah. Couple of times. I mean, I guess they're old timey, but they're still within the existence of the paint can. How far do you think you could make it in business, right? On a pair of old-timey stills. Like how old-timey are we talking? Like those long sticks or the paint can?
Starting point is 00:19:59 I'm talking the paint cans, the streams. You know, there's a big premium placed on. I think there's a statistic that people who are taller get further in business, right? And it's, I'm just wondering if that is purely a function of height above the ground, and whether or not you could gain that system by walking around on two paint cans.
Starting point is 00:20:24 Yeah, well, I think the gaining of the ground might be more difficult now that you've got this kind of walking impediment, you know, but people might offer you still the... I mean, I think the higher ground is higher ground. I mean, you know, sunsuits out of war. I don't think he cared what kind of ground it was. That's true. Whether it has been a pile of paint cans. Yeah, that's true.
Starting point is 00:20:47 A couple of paint cans. And I think that like... It's like the, you know, when you go on an airplane. And... You get higher ground. You know, a lot of people in airplanes get promoted. No, that's not ground. Oh.
Starting point is 00:21:02 I see that as... I mean, the top of a paint can isn't really ground either. That's not ground. Oh, I see I see that as I mean the top of a paint can isn't really ground either. That's true I mean the earth is the earth ground because that's just flying through space so is an aeroplane Yeah, that's just a bit of ground up there now, isn't it and and and paint cans came from the ground? Yes, and so did planes So in a way, you're just flying around in some ground some ground. Yes. Let's get this ground off the ground Says the pilot. Yeah I can't remember what I was gonna say. No, there's there's ads in the air and the Look at Alice said this is nothing right there's ads in in flight magazines always
Starting point is 00:21:38 Don't I see which are for these shoes that cl- that they say the shoes that make taller. Right? Have you seen this ad in your Inflite magazines? And there's two photos, one's with a guy and a girl, and she's taller than him. The next one, he's wearing some different shoes, and he's as tall as she is. Sure. And it's advertising these shoes, which are supposed to make you, I guess,
Starting point is 00:22:00 feel better about yourself because you're a bit taller. You might be as tall as a girl. But if we ignore the fact that it's shoes, and we make it paint cans. I guess feel better about yourself because you're a bit taller. You might be as tall as a girl. Right. But if we ignore the fact that it's shoes and we make it paint cans. Paint cans, yeah. Look, I think anyone, first of all, I think anybody would fall for anything. Yes. And I think in this day and age, if somebody wants to walk around with paint cans,
Starting point is 00:22:19 I mean, people walk around with razor scooters. Yeah. And they seem to be too embarrassed about that. So I think paincans are not that far off of that. If you could get a wheeled paincane, I mean, that's great the way because you see businessmen and women getting to work on razor scooters. And that was the thing that was for kids
Starting point is 00:22:42 and somehow it's crossed over and it's more or less accepted. I think business people get no work on paint cans, that's solid. Yeah, but you know, even in, you know, they're getting up from a business meeting sort of to none of your cans. I don't know, I like that. It would make your strides longer, wouldn't it? Having the somewhat, but you are trying to hold these on the bottom of your feet by pulling up. Yeah it's not quite the same as stills. Yeah and even regular stills like they're not I guess there's those stills that people you know you can get now that you don't need to like you know like those
Starting point is 00:23:17 there's a long ones with a stick where you're kind of just standing on the edge like you're sort of in between two sticks of bamboo with a branch even though bamboo doesn't have a branch, does bamboo have branches? Must have little branches. I guess at the top, there's some. Yeah, of course, because that's where the leaves are. Tempest on, yeah. Anyway, I was thinking that also, if we're offering this to people, would it be great
Starting point is 00:23:40 if there was a product that could make you shorter? Yes. Well, I mean a chair kind of does that. if there was a product that could make you shorter. Yes. Well, I mean, a chair kind of does that. Yeah, so maybe a wheelchair for people who want to be shorter. Right. Or, I guess there could just be a platform
Starting point is 00:23:57 that, you know, like, let's say you, you wear it sort of like a, you know, like one of those barrels that a man would wear with the straps over his shoulders. He's lost all his money. I think I say, you know, he picks up one of the barrels from the, like, I feel like at a casino they should have like in the cloak room near the front door. There's a bunch of courtesy barrels for people who've lost everything. Yeah, which, you know, I feel like probably a barrel's more expensive than any clothes that I would ever own.
Starting point is 00:24:23 I've looked at barrels on Gumtree, then they don't come cheap, also incredibly heavy, I imagine. Yeah, and that's strapping mechanism, that's even, you know, then you've got to pay for the labor for that. Yeah, but if, you know, the casinos willing to put that money forward, you know, for the people who lose, I guess that's a nice courtesy. Yeah. I mean, I think they should stop accepting people's clothes as money.
Starting point is 00:24:45 But that's how they do it. I guess the people that frequent casinos often have expensive clothes. I think, yeah, but also, I mean, I like at the end of the night, the head of the casino, James Packer or whatever, go up and down, goes through the clothes. Picks what he likes. Picks what he likes. It's like he has his own sort of secondhand show. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:05 It's how he's done so well. It's done. It's been money on the clothes. That's how you... I'd like to go from Walmart who was, you know, used to just drive his own truck. He's like, oh, I like my old truck. More on Buffett. What? What is that? That's what I think.
Starting point is 00:25:18 Oh. I'm sorry. I have such an itchy nose. You probably know something scratching my nose. No, I did. It's so itchy. I look, I like watching Giac oh man that guy scratches his nose yeah and pulls on his shirt pulls on his shirt scratches his nose like that if you haven't if you haven't seen this philosopher Z eyes Eddie K check out some Giac there's some there's some lines
Starting point is 00:25:39 in there anyway where I was going with this set of the barrel he's got a little platform that comes up to about me high. Yes. Right? On there, on his knees, it looks like he's got shoes. Right. Right. But he walks around, I would say it goes about two,
Starting point is 00:25:54 three meters out on every side. So it's kind of round like that. And then when he's standing at traffic lights and things like that, people just think it's a little, it's a raised platform. Right, so he's still walking on his feet. Yeah, but there his actual feet and lower legs are below the platform and on the platform are shoes that sort of
Starting point is 00:26:15 Emerge from around his knee. Yeah, yeah, so that's those are just fake shoes But I guess they have to make it look like he's walking and this is great. Yeah, and, but then that way, because I think a lot of really tall people feel like they stand out. Yeah, right. You just look like you're on a platform. People on platforms don't stand out. Absolutely, but I mean other people will come. There's one thing we've found, it's that podiums don't draw attention to the camera. No, but other people will stand up onto the podium with him.
Starting point is 00:26:41 Oh wow. See, that's the idea is that he becomes the ground, part and part, right? This checks out. Yeah, and because I think also a lot of, really tall people feel like they can, they're targeted, you know, if they, if there's a mad man in the supermarket,
Starting point is 00:26:59 you know, some guy with some, you know, like just violent streak, alpha, alpha, you know, uh, streak. Right. They'll go for the biggest guy. That's, you know, in prison, in prison, that would be the perfect. You go find the biggest guy you punch him. You punch him in the head. No one takes you, no one's going to mess with you after that. Yeah. But a guy just standing on a podium, looking kind of short. Yeah. This will look great.
Starting point is 00:27:28 And he won't be alone on the podium. No, he also won't be able to get through doors. Well, I mean, is that a small price to pay? Yes, it's nothing. Like a small price to pay to have to sort of be on a feel like you fit in. Yeah. Because he probably has some kind of body this more for you.
Starting point is 00:27:47 Alistair, I think if you want to write this down. Paint cans. Paint cans, I think, like, I think the idea that people talking about that in the office, right, this guy's like got promoted. He's on the up and up in a company. And everyone's talking about it, about how he's sort of the chosen one. He's been the up and up in a company and everyone's talking about it about how he's sort of the chosen one He's been fast tracked. Everyone's kind of aware that he's standing on paint cans But I think the fact that he's like that doesn't change the fact that he looks kind of tall
Starting point is 00:28:16 Mm-hmm and and that's quite imposing and it seems to be working for him, right? Like a lot of people notice the paint cans. Yeah. And all you notice is that like this guy seems tall. Yeah. He sloshes a bit and clanks when he walks. And I find those very appealing. And then, you know, he could actually have quite about, you know, he could choose that for different days
Starting point is 00:28:39 how he's feeling, whether he wants that kind of hollow, metallic sound of tonk, tonk, or whether he wants that kind of hollow metallic sound of tongue, tongue, tongue, or whether he wants a kind of more like seasidey, gluggy sort of, I know, I'm near a big pool of molten sort of sulfur, sulfur or tar pit or something like that kind of sound, like that, or you know, or just being in an aquarium, that kind of trapped sound, trapped liquid, you know, blubbling, blubbling, being in a submarine or something like that. It is interesting that like, we choose every day, we make a big effort to like, I know I do, to like choose what you want to look like that day. And often we also put effort into what we smell like, but we don't put any effort into what we sound like.
Starting point is 00:29:28 In terms of us walking around, it's just all. Yeah, I feel like it's swishing. It's like tap dances and maybe like moris dances. You know, we'll get their shoes specifically for that. But I think that's with bells as well. That's with bells. Sure. But like the rest of us, we just sort of treat our acoustic personhood,
Starting point is 00:29:47 like it's not something we have any control over. I don't think it'll be like that in the future. No, no, no, absolutely. Like, like, sound will be as much a part of fashion as sight. Maybe the main part. Yeah. Yeah, well, as the earth becomes more polluted and there's more smog, and sight. Maybe the main part. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:05 Well, as the earth becomes more polluted and there's more smog, you'll be less able to see people but you'll be able to hear them coming. Absolutely. And I think being able to pair a good sound with a good outfit is going to be really important. Yeah. I think, you know, when you're kind of moving your arms forward and back like that, that is like some great opportunity for like, you know, if you can get like the sound of like, you know, a zipper opening and closing.
Starting point is 00:30:30 Sure. The crickets have been doing this for a long time. Crickets, they definitely, they wear their outfit on their ears or in your ears. Yeah. So, you know, I think that's something, can you write that down as a thing? You know, like it's the catwalk, but you know, the room's full of smoke and dark. Sure, you could, I mean, you could do a, it's like the catwalk, but it's like a radio play. Yeah. It's the catwalk podcast for your fashion ears.
Starting point is 00:31:02 I'm just trying to think of a pun fashionista. I mean, I picture, you know, Foley guys are gonna become some of the most fashionable people in the world, because they'll know about how to make themselves sound, even like specific things. You get somebody who's like your personal shopper who can design for your personal soundscape, and they're a foley guy and they're like, right, we're going to put some cheese graters
Starting point is 00:31:31 between your thighs, right? Yeah. And you're going to have that sound. And the idea that you could make it sound like when you're walking, sure, you're walking through the city, but you could make it sound like you're walking through the forest of twigs. I love that. Yes. Or... Your shoes are full of like leaves. Yeah, full of leaves. Or you know, or... Or snow? Snow like that. Cunch, cunch, cunch. I love that sound. Yeah, breaking. So you can,
Starting point is 00:31:59 you know, like when you walk, you step through really thin ice, that's a really nice crunchy-less. Crisp. Really crisp and crunchy sound. If you could get that every step, it would be like orgasming every time you move your leg, which I think would really take away from your back pain. Are you working way too hard for way too little? There's never been a better time to consider a career in IT. from your back pain. career evaluation. You could start your new career in months, not years. Take classes online
Starting point is 00:32:45 or on campus, and financial aid is available to qualified students, including the GI Bill. Now is the time, mycomputercareer.edu. I think, yeah, as is so often the case, though, like, do you think that a lot of the pressure for this to sound good is going to fall on women because of the way society, you know, is it you think this is we're just finding another way for companies to market to and to put pressure on, you know, women. Sure. So they're going to have to it's going to be a more of a burden on their time and their
Starting point is 00:33:19 self-esteem feeling like they don't sound good enough. Yeah, so like they'll be considered commercials on TV that'll be like, oh, got a big date tonight. Yeah. And then like, oh, you're not gonna go out like that with just the sound of like sat and rubbing against cotton. And then she's like walking and then the guy's like waiting at the bar, I was like,
Starting point is 00:33:41 shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, and you see him like grabbing his ears, going, ah, what's that high pitched, whooshing sound. Yeah. And you go, you should have chosen a musical clothes. You should have collected like a tambourine jumper. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:57 And then, whatever it is, I mean, whether possibly it is to like, they want you to be totally silent like that your body like because we don't want our bodies to smell. Maybe we also don't want our bodies to make any noise. That could be a way of it. Like everything's like cushioned and totally. Yeah. But also with your arms rubbing against your sides like that, right? If you just put a pick, like a guitar pick there, that's the perfect strumming motion.
Starting point is 00:34:33 So you can strum. If you can strum, you can strum. You can strum, you can strum. And then people could start hollowing out like, let's say we find We let's say we find like This is where the body horror comes in isn't it? It was only a matter of talk. Well, I mean, I think it's only a matter of time before we find more efficient Alternatives to our organs. Yes, right? The spleen the heart things like that heart You can have a little motor that passes
Starting point is 00:35:07 the fluid liquid, what's the life blood? Life blood. What's the life blood? What's the life blood of the body? Blood, life blood. So you can get that, get that, so just tuck that right up, like under the shoulder, right, get the lungs out of there.
Starting point is 00:35:25 You could probably just, there's probably like a paper, like just a paper sheet of paper that you could sort of do, a lot of that. You know, it's all circuits these days. It's all circuits, it's a paper thing. Yeah, right, printed circuits. Get the blood running through that, like that, get that oxygen out of there real quick,
Starting point is 00:35:42 like that. Anyway, hollow that chest cavity out, right? Then you got this kind of like this nice hollow place in which you can get some resonance. Right, it's a resonating chamber. Resonating chamber, right? Maybe you could replace. I mean, bone seems like it would be a good material for a room.
Starting point is 00:36:00 The ribs are already very close to being a zylophone. They're not that far. Yeah, I think it's been noticed by a number of like children's cartoons. At least fake children's cartoons like in the Simpsons. Yes. Actually a children's cartoon was quite violent and probably not suited the children which I believe to bring this up. Which I think maybe they covered in the episode where Marge gets upset with it's she is scratchy and then they lose the TV show and then that guy gets that gold house. I don't want anything except for my gold house and my rocket car, liver and onions. Anyway, do you think we've covered that? Anyway, so there'll be that, but then I think it'll be nice to maybe fill in all the other areas with a sort of
Starting point is 00:36:48 more bone. But you know how they do with those violins? You can get an old violin, which sounds great, one of those ones. You know that one? $2 million. $10. It's about a various. It's about a various like that.
Starting point is 00:37:02 Or you can get a new one, and you can treat it with biochemical stuff which does artificial aging and it sounds as good and experts can't tell the difference. Do that to your bones. Get some all sorts of... Real old bones, that's what everybody wants. Old bones. Well, I mean, that'll be a nice thing. You get there, you get, you can get Neanderthal bones in there, get that other one.
Starting point is 00:37:23 Who's that? What's that other? There's another thing that apparently we interbred with. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, some kind of cave people, like seven or all. Seven buys and times or whatever like that. Yeah, one of them once. Right. And anyway, it's amazing.
Starting point is 00:37:35 Get those bones in there, get your chest sound that's best. Right? Don't need skin anymore, that'll just, that'll deaden the sound, unless you're trying to make a drum and you need skin anymore. That'll just, that'll deaden the sound unless you're trying to make a drum. And you need skin. Absolutely on board, else. But imagine this chest snare.
Starting point is 00:37:54 Do, do, do, do. Right, I think that's a cool thing. I think, yeah, I feel the one man band, they always look a bit silly because the band is all outside the man. If you can make that in the man. It's not really just a man. It's one man and his instruments band.
Starting point is 00:38:11 Yes. I mean, the instruments are doing a lot of the work. I mean, it's really a one band man. Yes. Wait. No, that would be like somebody like John Lennon or something like that. I mean, John Lennon's on a good example
Starting point is 00:38:30 because I think I imagine he was probably in another band before. Right, so the one example that you came up with this in a good example? Yeah, you're right. You're right. But I'm not gonna let that make me sad. Wait, I saw this as a little... My nose is so itchy. Maybe I touched all this dust on the table and I rubbed that on my nose and I was rubbing
Starting point is 00:38:49 my nose because it's so itchy. It's got worse. Do you think that means that maybe you could be getting it better at philosophy? Good be. Every second. That was more fashion sound, I think. That was all kind of fashion. It's all within the acoustic.
Starting point is 00:39:04 I think maybe I kept going because you made it seem like you didn't want me to keep going. I think that's gotta be, that's a great reason for you to keep going and I'm glad you kept going. Thank you. Bloody minded. Bloody minded actually, you could just be having some kind of stroke, some sort of bleak.
Starting point is 00:39:21 Yeah, bloody minded is actually like, oh he's very bloody minded. Oh, is he like, is he stubborn? No, he was having an aneurysm. Aneurysm, that's the word I was looking for. Oh, dear. Maybe that's where it all comes from. Is that a sketch?
Starting point is 00:39:36 People who have aneurysms are very stubborn about not wanting to talk anymore, not being able to move the left side of their body. They're so stubborn. For left side of your body, it's become very lazy. What do you think about this thing? I listened to this guy talking about how he was talking about the brain. He was basically saying that he thinks from evidence that they looked at. Well, I'm convinced. Right, so there's evidence, I'm pretty sure, that each hemisphere of the brain had its own personality, so that we are in effect, even though we are one consciousness,
Starting point is 00:40:15 we are two consciousnesses together as one. Forming a consensus or something like that. But is it the case of like, is one side of the brain just like trapped in there and can't really do anything? Or can both of them contribute to our outcomes? I think like a lot of how they were making these decisions was they could block one eye. Yeah, right. Give it some information.
Starting point is 00:40:40 Give it some information and see what it's like. Do you like sort of strudel? And then they show us, and one side of the brain loves strudel. And the other side of the brain. Oh, it's like, no, not more strudel. Not strudel. I don't have, I'm trapped in here.
Starting point is 00:40:55 It's very sugar-conscious. I'm just not conscious. I hate strudel. Yeah, but he's not even aware of the strudel at the time because I don't know whether, you know, he was listening with the ear. One of the ears. Can you block one side of the strutal at the time because the odd, I mean, I don't know whether, you know, he was listening with the ear. One of the ears. Can you block one side of the tongue as well and feed it the strutal?
Starting point is 00:41:10 That would be nice, yeah. A guy who's trying to preference one of his, he only likes one of his personalities, one of his hemispheres personalities and so he's... I both love this and I hate this, Alistair. Yeah. Like, I love the idea and I just find it so irritating that like how could you possibly prove this? What do we do with this information?
Starting point is 00:41:32 Well, I mean, it's quite, I mean, it was interesting in that, I suppose maybe there's, it gives the possibility of fusing more minds together and maybe the idea of like what occurs in group think You know that outcomes this kind of thing that is greater than than than the two I don't know if you was saying that they're greater than the two, but you know Is there a sort of melding of? Consciousness is to get this kind of one thing. You know all those things where you forget it like hundred people to guess up
Starting point is 00:42:02 You know how many jelly beans are in a thing, you can get. Family Feud. You get me. So that I say. Family Feud is an example of some of the greatest thinking known to man, at least the example of when we come together, what we can achieve. I mean, if family Feud was a way of like, if that was our form our democracy instead of sort of the representative democracy that we had if we had a family-fued style
Starting point is 00:42:31 democracy where you know everybody guesses what the decision is whatever the outcome of the the plebsite is and then you know here's what I thought right so this guy so this person's getting, this person's attending this study where they're doing that, or they're testing about the two personalities, right? And he or she finds out that they have one one of the personalities in one of their hemispheres, or the personality of one of their hemispheres,
Starting point is 00:43:05 has an opinion or something like that that is a deal breaker for them. Yeah, wow. Right. Okay. You know, they, it could either be like, I mean, I think it's probably more than something like they like a type of music, but it could be, you know, they show an opinion that is a little bit too right wing for them. Yeah, they think that they think that, like, corporal punishment works for kids, and you should smack kids. Exactly. So, they, then they really work to try to just block out entirely that personality
Starting point is 00:43:35 from having an experience. So, they coat half of their tongue and wax, they wear something wearing an eye patch, and they completely block up one of their ears like that. And then they try to, I guess touch is probably more complicated, I imagine. Or maybe not. Or a thick glove? Yeah, or maybe they could just completely like, they completely like, you know. Refused to use that side of their body.
Starting point is 00:43:59 Yeah, but they like, you know, they just put it into a material that basically feels nothing. Yeah. Maybe they even take it into a material that basically feels nothing. Yeah. Maybe they even take it, they rub a numbing agent, they grab all that numbing agent inside some of those condoms and they just rub them so they all rub in the inside of condoms on the one side of their body. There's a numbing agent in condoms? I think there's some condoms that you can get that have a numbing agent because people want to use that to make them last longer.
Starting point is 00:44:23 Wow, all right, but to have less of a good time. Well, I would say that 85% of the good time comes from just knowing you had sex. A lot of stuff. 15% of it is the pleasures of the flesh. But it feels almost exactly the same to masturbate. I'll count tell the difference. I can't. I can't. I don't know. And also imagining, which some people do when they're masturbating whatever, that they're having sex and then they're masturbating. The brain doesn't know the difference between an imagination and a memory.
Starting point is 00:45:09 Really? It can't really. I don't think there is any real difference to the brain. That's why it's all that stuff. We're rewriting it actually. Brain so dumb. Brain so dumb. We should have a seminar so that you can learn how to talk to your brain.
Starting point is 00:45:20 Yes. I'll say I've totally forgotten where we were at. It was one guy. Getting pretty confusing. Trying to block it. It was one guy. Getting pretty confusing. Trying to block it. It wasn't confusing. No, okay, okay. Guys trying to block out half of his brain.
Starting point is 00:45:29 Yeah, great. I also think though, like what if you could prove that only one of those hemispheres of your brain committed a crime, right? Oh yeah, that'd be great. A lawyer could be. I think this could be quite a new, this could be a new frontier
Starting point is 00:45:42 because we are all about new frontiers in legal defense in the podcast. Absolutely. We haven't come up with one for a while, but if you could put it to somebody that had put it to the court, that only the left hemisphere done the murder. I think this is a great angle, Andy.
Starting point is 00:45:58 And I like the idea that that way, you don't have to punish the right hemisphere, and you could sort of put, I like the imagery of having a little prison for your hand. And maybe your leg is in a cage as well. Yeah, prison for only half of your body. Yeah. And if you sort of wheel it around,
Starting point is 00:46:19 maybe, and then you, it's almost like visiting time, visiting hours. But that sheet of glass and the, the president just goes down the middle of your body. Oh yeah, so like a, kind of like the comb, the dog comb. Yes. But maybe like I guess for your face,
Starting point is 00:46:34 it could just go over half of your face. Yeah. Like that. And you know, I guess you could sort of use a little bit of that plastic cone that the Gary Oldman had and fifth element. He's got that, he's got that plastic thing over his head. What if you keep going all the way over the face,
Starting point is 00:46:50 give it a bit of a phantom of the opera. So go from Gary Oldman fifth element down to a phantom of the opera, down to dog cone, and all the way up the back, like that. And then I think you got yourself a half a head prison. Half head prison or a shirt. And then like I guess you let that half a head out for like half an hour every day to exercise. Yeah, but I guess it has to be under under supervision. Yeah. And then occasionally you get to take that half out and
Starting point is 00:47:20 make love to your wife with it. I think you're also like, it'd be quite interesting to see like inside the prison and some of the cells you look in, and there's just like an arm in there, just like sticking through the wall. Yeah, sort of like a glory hole. Yeah, but it's a punishment hole. Punishment hole?
Starting point is 00:47:41 I mean, it's really easy. Which a glory hole can be if you use it right. I mean, I think the term glory is already sarcastic. It's got to be in glory, doesn't it? In glorious and in glorious hall. And in, to me, I still take that as glory. Yeah. Anything at all, really. Anything with the word glory. Gloria, I take that as to just mean glory. All right. I mean, I feel like we've got enough ideas out. Right? We've hit the big six ideas.
Starting point is 00:48:18 Yep. Do you think you could take us through them? Great, Andy. Well, we've got the talking to the Baldy Seminar. Yeah. I mean, it's a very body-focused episode. Hmm. Yes. Well, you know what?
Starting point is 00:48:35 I think it's all we got, Andy. If we, do you think that there's a soul? No. Yeah. So then it's all we got. Yeah. I don't think that there's a soul either. But I like to think that whatever other people
Starting point is 00:48:48 consider to be the soul is just whatever takes a bunch of non-living atoms, make some come together. You know that life spark, what's the difference between, you know, your grandpa laying in bed and the body of your grandpa. Yeah, like moments after he died. Whatever the difference between his two, that little energy spark there, that's probably
Starting point is 00:49:14 what I think that they think this all is, or that's what I'm naming. What do you think this all is? I know they think it's got more to that, but I think that that's what they think. Yeah, I know that they think there's more to it than that, but I don't think there is. I think that's all there is to it. That's all there is. Do you have anything to add about,
Starting point is 00:49:33 because I think this is the talking to the body seminar, I feel like you know more than I do. Look, to be honest, you want to know what I'm picturing. I'm picturing a person talking into a pipe and the pipe is connected to their upper arm, to their bicep. That's what I'm picturing. I'm picturing a person talking into a pipe and the pipe is connected to their upper arm, to their bicep. That's what I'm picturing. So it's really low level stuff, Alistair.
Starting point is 00:49:50 Yeah. But like one of those sort of speaking pipes, like, speaking tube. Yeah. And I think like it's trying to, it's trying to, one of the things is trying to focus on that body part, right? It's trying to cut things out
Starting point is 00:50:04 because very often the information would get to that body part through like your ear or whatever like that. But like you want to be able to talk directly to your left nipple. You should be able to do that. Sure, yeah. Do you think this is a part of the body that only understands mine? Yeah, I reckon. Hand.
Starting point is 00:50:23 Do you think you could communicate to your arm and hand via a story, but through sort of hand puppet tearing? Like if you put your hand in the shape of different, like a duck, and then like a walking and things like that, you could sort of talk to your hand like that. I think that's something. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:40 Then we've got what's pure leg? This is the, what the, this is an anatomist talk. This is my favorite concept from the entire podcast. It feels the least like a sketch, but I love it so much. Yeah, it's the part of the leg that's leg all the way down. It never becomes a subcategory of leg, never becomes thigh, it's not a knee, things like that. It's just leg, no matter what. Now, do you think that you could get that bit of leg and get the DNA from that bit of leg
Starting point is 00:51:11 and grow something in a lab that was just like all leg? Well, that's the hope. I think we're gonna let it stop. I think we're gonna let it stop. We're gonna let it stop. We're gonna let it stop. We're gonna let it stop. So that we're trying to just get something that is leg minus
Starting point is 00:51:27 any extraneous bits. Maybe at some point we can get a sort of a leg concentrate, like a 25 times concentrate of leg. Sort of more leg than you, than anyone's ever had in a human whole human body, but like let's say fitting in the size of let's say a 10 cent piece. Wow. Like a neutron star. It's just like pure leg.
Starting point is 00:51:45 Pure leg. And then you give it to somebody, I don't know, in their birth there or something like that. And then you go, that's more legs than you have. And then what, what happened if they ate that? Do you think they would become leg? I think there's a lot of theories. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:01 And what would happen? And then we have, obviously, there's the business paint cans, which is for walking around on what would happen. And then we have, obviously, there's the business paint cans, which is for walking around on stilts. And also, also feel better about yourself. And I think the positive effect that it would have. What I like about this in particular is that it makes it seem like business people are incredibly stupid.
Starting point is 00:52:18 Right? I love it. I love the idea that they realize that they're paint cans, but they're still so susceptible to the height and this base level animalistic power play. And also that it kind of plays to what happens in business where you overlook stuff. Sometimes especially if somebody who's above you
Starting point is 00:52:42 and are ranking, you're not gonna speak up because it's gonna affect your chances. You're always networking, you're always trying to climb, you're always trying to get ahead. And it's the same, you realize that that person's doing the same thing. And if you make fun of them, well, he might be in charge of you later on anyway.
Starting point is 00:52:57 Right? And then you could, you know, that can comment, could really fun come your way. I mean, really, your best chance is to just get yourself some slightly bigger paint cans. what you're going to do is open like a paint can walk absolutely arms can a subcategory of that sketch is also the floor platform that makes you look shorter which is where you wear it sort of like a barrel that you would wear after losing all your money at a casino but it
Starting point is 00:53:24 goes down lower goes all the way down to the knee and it's a floor platform, platform platform. And it allows you, and then you have fake feet just at your knees there. You just want to feel normal. You just want to feel normal. And if people stand on it and you carry the weight on your shoulders, which is the best place, so keep your back straight. Then we have the fashion sound. This is the future and it's about the sound of fashion. What do you want to sound like? Could your clothes be strumming as you walk?
Starting point is 00:54:00 Could you be totally silent? Squeaky shoes. I have to... This is just... What about like the sound of... You know, of like that heavenly sound that you were just... Was that what you were trying to do? Trying to... Yeah, I mean, I feel like mine, it was if anything more heavenly in yours was more like a dial tone. l-tone. That was kind of closer to a dial tone because it takes two. Anyway, yeah, so the internet also involves the possibility of sort of hollowing out your chest cavity and making a full- the possibility. The possibility. You could run strings from
Starting point is 00:54:41 your chin to your sort of just above your pubic area. Yeah, and then when lifting your chin up and down, you can change the tune. Even if you got the, if you remember, it was just that one string like that Chinese instrument. Ooh. I know it.
Starting point is 00:54:57 You know the Chinese instrument? Yeah. I think that guy who makes all the sound with his body. Bobby McFarron. Bobby McFarron? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I'm gonna change my name to... If you're human Harnett. I'm gonna do it. And you could after you replace it with that
Starting point is 00:55:10 little fish in my robot. Yeah. And I'm gonna call myself Body McFarran. Great. Yeah. Has a real slap in the face. Yeah. And then we got one guy trying to block out one of his hemispheres after... A slap in the face that would make a real pleasing sort of bongo noise. Yeah. Bunk. And you're not gonna like this. I know you're ready to go. But okay, so we've got one guy trying to block out one of his hemispheres personalities and then also the guy who's, this is a separate sketch where the guy is trying to use a legal defense of blocking out one of, only having one of his hemispheres get.
Starting point is 00:55:48 I think the legal defense I've now lost interest in. I'm interested in the consequences of the punishment. Yeah, right. Sure. That's what I want to see. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Whether or not we have to see some legal offense in order to justify it. Yeah. We have to come up with a sketch idea for some of these three words.
Starting point is 00:55:58 Somebody sent us in three words, so we're sorry to do that after we've done the summary, but here we go. Sure. I want you to know this is for Daniel Pierce. Who at Daniel Pierce has actually already got three words up. Right. But this is to show an example of the kind of freedom you get once you start.
Starting point is 00:56:14 You'll be buying to this Patreon three words thing. Right. It's on for young adults. It's on. Yeah. Don't if you send in three words, we're just going to go through them mostly in order. Yeah. And so if we've forgotten you let us know, by the way. Okay, three words are banana, unicycle, cafe.
Starting point is 00:56:31 Okay, the first thing I think is banana and the unicycle I'm thinking, it's right for you're writing along, you're right over a banana peel, you've put all your eggs in one wheel with a unicycle. Of course. You've thrown caution of the way you said, all these suckers out there were their two wheeled bicycles. Uh-huh. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:53 I don't need that. I'm that confident in my one wheel. Sure. And maybe you're on your way to the cafe. Now, Alistair, that's a bad idea. I just want you to know that. Okay. Sure. But what about this? Yes. Okay. A cafe.
Starting point is 00:57:08 Yes. That's on a unicycle. Oh, okay. Interesting. And they only sell bananas. Okay. What about this? Okay. With banana. I mean, okay, because you've definitely could have, you've
Starting point is 00:57:28 had your, we've had your roller skate diners, right? People, the servers in the diner, they're coming, bringing the food to you on roller skate. Right? We haven't had that on many other forms of transport. Sure. And I think that's interesting. So, okay. I think like, you know, the rise of scooters, the people sliding in. The pogo sticks. People sliding in on discarded banana peels. Yeah, I mean, that's something. People, we haven't had people falling to your table.
Starting point is 00:58:01 Yeah, right? That's true, yeah, yeah. It's, I've noticed that most people who serve me when I'm at a restaurant or you know at a cafe or something like that are not getting injured. Right. They're not careening out of control. Yeah. And what do people love watching? Things like... File videos. File videos, funniest home videos, things like that. People, you know, some of the most genuine belly laughs that you will get in life are from watching somebody hurt themselves. as home videos, things like that. People, some of the most genuine belly laughs
Starting point is 00:58:25 that you will get in life are from watching somebody hurt themselves. Okay, we've got theater restaurants, right? And that's people putting on a show they've written some crap about dinosaurs and vampires. And that's somehow tied into your meal experience. But people, theater is dead. Yeah, absolutely. What is big now is real life, fail videos online. So this is a theater restaurant experience
Starting point is 00:58:53 where it's all structured pratfalls, or maybe not even structured. Maybe it's genuine accidents taking place. They sort of heard in at the back, they've just got just a whole pen filled with buffoons. Some are drunk, some are just accident prone. On the way in, there's different things that they're handed. One person might be handed a baseball bat
Starting point is 00:59:23 and they set up a, like they give you your plate of food, but then also a baseball bat and they set up a like they give you your play to food But then also a baseball bat and then it's gonna be a Panyada or one person has is has a skateboard and a chainsaw Right, and they wheel them out and they got your enchiladas. Yeah, there's a kid. He's got a football. He's dad's up a ladder What's gonna happen? Yeah, there's you you know, there's, there's a sets of shelves and there's people driving little bumper cars around. Right, what's gonna happen? I'm telling you what, the shelves, they're flimsy. They're gonna fall.
Starting point is 00:59:57 They're gonna fall. That's what we're suggesting. I'm sorry. I'm sorry if we didn't make it clear. A lot of the time, I just let the theater of the mind take over but yeah Well, theater of the mind that's not bad. That's what we can call it. Theater restaurant of the mind. Now that's where nothing really happens They just they just sort of describe stuff and oh, that's kind of like this podcast. Yeah, in a way If you're reading while you're listening is there engaging in some theater restaurant in mind. So yeah, I think
Starting point is 01:00:32 Yeah, cuz it's it's all the worlds of stage and we're just trying to compete with, we're going where the eyes are, where are the views? What do people want? You know that Dracula's restaurant, theatre restaurant in Melbourne, it's just closed down. I've heard. About a month ago. I know. Long running, it's been around for years and years and years. Now it's closed down because it can't compete. It can't compete. And so what we're going to open up a place with, you know, I think it would also be fair to have other, like, you know, don't just limit yourself to fill videos. Because I think it's going to niche. It's going to, what about animal versus other type of animal videos as well?
Starting point is 01:01:06 So you know, like, there's nothing that would make me happier than to see a tiger versus a crocodile. And that's having your own tray. While you're having sort of, you know, a couple of, a couple of prasicos. I don't know what prasico is. It's just a Italian sparkling wine. Oh, great. Well, now I know what prasico is. It's just Italian sparkling wine. Oh, great. Well now I know what Prosecco is.
Starting point is 01:01:26 Thank you, I'll stand. I think it's just the Italian way probably has a specific brewing method or whatever. I didn't know if I died just then. Right, and it turned out that all that was keeping me alive. Was that like, secretly my purpose was to find out what Prosecco was. I didn't realize it as soon as you told me that's it. Do you think I'll be present when you die? Definitely.
Starting point is 01:01:46 Definitely. Because you're always around when I'm my most stressed. And you don't do it to me in the next five years. And you're also always around when I J walk at that bit right now work And that's probably where I'm gonna die literally saved your life multiple times and you will never admit it I'll never get it now. I'll never say thank you You're too proud. I've stopped you a yell and he stopped And you look and you pretend like you knew there was a car coming. You don't know. I don't know. And it makes me wonder how I've lived this long because you haven't always been around.
