I'm Hello and welcome to the two in the thing tank to show where I I almost said I come up with five sketch ideas Many ways that's true. Oh God Elastair. I mean I'm I'm sorry You don't that I need to acknowledge it as well just to be totally upfront with what I'm obviously thinking and You know, I don't know where I'm coming what I'm coming at it from this angle. And I think it's a great angle to come at it from. Yeah, one of like real selfish, so so frotches.
Starting point is 00:01:30 I think it was the kind of angle that someone who comes up with a lot of ideas would come from. So I would never have thought to come at it from that direction. So that was clever. Yeah, it's excellent. I'm going to write it down. to come up, come at it from that direction. So that was clever. Yeah, check it out. I'm gonna write it down. Thanks, yeah, it's a sketch.
Starting point is 00:01:50 Hey, you're listening to Two in the Think Tank. And we're doing a show at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. We always plug it at the very, very end of the podcast, but by then, I mean. Who knows how many people are still listening to this? Who knows? So it goes from March 26th to April 21st.
Starting point is 00:02:07 It's at 9.15 pm. It's called magma. You can buy tickets now. And if you do, that helps us immensely by not feeling scared about the upcoming festival. I will still feel scared. Oh yeah. But like it'll be a good kind of anticipatory fear
Starting point is 00:02:24 as opposed to a clawing dread Mm-hmm And that's a very important distinction. No, it would be wonderful if you could come. It's gonna be very funny show Elste I know Yeah, I'm you know, I was that was directly directed at you It would be wonderful if you could come and well, I know it's going to be good because it's filled with loads of ideas that I know that you've come up with. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:02:48 I come up with five sketch ideas. Yes, Alistair. Do you ever grab your nose hairs that are poking out of your nostril and pull at them just with your fingers to pull them out? Yeah, I yank them out. And then occasionally I found myself doing it like work and stuff and I'm like, this is not okay.
Starting point is 00:03:08 I, it's weird that you should say this because I mean, I brought it up because that's something that I do. No way. And I, I mean, it's, it's crazily satisfying. Yeah. But also like, it hurts so much though, right? Yeah. It hurts so much.
Starting point is 00:03:24 But it's such a thick, it's such a thick hair. Yeah. Should we do together? Sure, thick, solid little hair. You really feel like you're uprooting something. And that pain that you get when you're pulling out is almost disappears instantly. There's no ongoing pain.
Starting point is 00:03:46 And it's replaced with a satisfaction and having pulled out this chunky hair. Also, the need to sneeze, I find a lot of it at the time. But also, the knowledge that you are more immaculately groomed than you were just moments earlier. Just a moment ago, yeah. It's momentarily immaculate, momentarily immaculate. Now, you say you do this.
Starting point is 00:04:09 Have you ever done it at work? And I don't think there's any limits to where I could do it. Because that's really reassuring to me, because this is one of those things where it's like, I have done it where I know I have, and I don't know if other people have seen, because I know, and I think that if they did see,
Starting point is 00:04:27 I also don't know if they've processed it, and the fact that you say you have probably done it work, and I've never seen it or certainly processed it, makes me feel that this might be one of those things that like people just filter out, and then I feel a lot better about having done it, you know? Sure, sure, sure. And there's certain behaviors that are probably not okay.
Starting point is 00:04:47 Well, I think this could be one that probably could be not okay, but I think your mind gets taken off of how gross it is by how violent it is. Oh, okay. Do you think that's a thing that happens a lot? Well, yeah, I think because... Sure, he was gross, but I didn't really notice that because he was so violent. Well, because you're not thinking about the hair when the really abrupt sort of, yeah,
Starting point is 00:05:12 arm movements are happening. Right, so you just be like, that guy's flailing. He's just flapping out, because, and this is what it is. Your eye is attracted by the yanking, by the motion. But because it takes you that fraction of a second to cotton on and be like, that man is moving quickly over there, his arm is moving. You're not there, you're not tuned in to see the moment in which the hand is pulling
Starting point is 00:05:36 away from the nose. You only get a fraction afterwards when it's just a little twitch. That's right, well, because I think what you're having to do, is you're having to go from sort of zero movement. And then I think you gotta get, you gotta get the kind of elbow to start the momentum down before you actually let the hand move. So that's the weight that kind of keeps him,
Starting point is 00:06:00 gets it moving first. And so then you're really, ah, like that, and you're going down. It's kind of a whiplash kind of motion. You're attempting to get some kind of whiplash, even though you know. Do you think it breaks the speed of sound? It feels like it does.
Starting point is 00:06:14 There's, you know, there's a sort of a, there's the popping version, like there's a pop, but only through this sense of touch. You know, you feel it kind of out. Mm, mm. It's one of those things that doesn't make a noise, but if it did, that's what it would be. Yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 00:06:33 Now, is there a sketch in this in some way? Nothing's coming to me right away. Well, what it has led me onto in my mind and can I move onto it? I just just like, you may attempt. Is that like, we have the sonic boom. Okay. Right. Which is when things go fast in the speed of sound.
Starting point is 00:06:50 But could we have booms in other areas when things go fast in the speed of smell or touch? Mm-hmm. You know? No. Like. And feel free to just say no. No, no, I mean, like I always love the idea of the speed of smell. Yeah. I think that makes me laugh straight away, but at the same time, I think it's really stupid.
Starting point is 00:07:14 Okay. Yeah. Well, I think you would need to have a smell that went faster than the speed of smell, right? In order to create a smellic boom. Right. Smellic. Smellic boom. Now the smellic boom would then have to be some sort of smell based phenomenon where there is a huge release of smell that has become pent up behind in front of the smell that is moving fast in the speed of smell. What could that be compared to? You know, what in our day to day experience could possibly be a smell like boom? The closest thing I guess that I experience is when you, let's say you've got two weeks off, work. And on the day you go back to work in the morning, you go get your backpack,
Starting point is 00:08:08 in which you're going to put your lunch in there, and you find the leftovers of the lunch from two weeks ago, and you open that. It really does hit you. The similar thing would be the fridge, or the freezer, that has become disconnected from the power or it stopped working. And when you open that door and that wharf that comes out of the freezer compartment or whatever it is, it's a very like intense, seems like fast moving stuff. Yeah, but it's not the same, you know. You're right, the parallel doesn't exist.
Starting point is 00:08:49 It's just an intense smell and the same. And if this was a riff about coming up with intense smells, that'd be great, but it's not. It's a riff about comparing two things that are impossible to compare, which is the thing that we try and do on the podcast all the time. And sometimes it works out,
Starting point is 00:09:03 and I'm gonna say this time, it's a bust, you know? But, you know, there are maybe with the pulling the hairs out of the nostril. Yes. And look, there may be women who do that. Maybe they do pull them out, yank them out like that. Maybe.
Starting point is 00:09:20 That could be the case. Maybe. But it feels like that would be one of the things that society is like forced women not to do. So not only have they forced women to groom in certain ways, you know, they feel all these, this pressure to remain here is all of different things. But then they feel pressure to not pull hairs out of their nose in public. I think that work while sitting at their computer.
Starting point is 00:09:48 I think it's interesting that all women pulling out of hair has been, become a thing that has hidden away from society. It's like death, you know, you never see it anymore. I think that like, I think, I think society should continue to force women to, oh, society can continue to force women to have to like rip out all their hair if society wants. But now... We don't want to take away society, it's a ton of it.
Starting point is 00:10:22 Exactly. I'm not going gonna tell society what to do when it comes to telling what to do. But now, or men, but now, all those things have to happen in the street, on the footpath, on a little table. So if people are gonna get hairs ripped out of them, it has to be done, so everybody can see. So society can understand the consequences
Starting point is 00:10:47 of what it's forcing people to do. It really is, not only do we want women to do this to get waxed or whatever it is, we don't want to see it happen, we want it to be done in a real nice clean looking, in a day spa type thing, that whether name doesn't even really allude to exactly what it is that's going on in there, so that we don't even have to think about it. It's not that the hair isn't just being a raise from the body, it's being a raise from history. It's like it was never there.
Starting point is 00:11:18 Well, I think maybe while... Or they should hang up all the strips of used wax on, at least, you know, with all the hairs in it, out the front. Well, I think that maybe while we're doing this Andy, because I think what you're touching on is sort of part of a bigger problem. I'm so glad there's more to this.
Starting point is 00:11:37 Yeah, it's much like people eating meat. You know, people talk about, it's the murder of these animals that is happening behind closed doors and people are disconnected from it. I think that should probably also be happening on little benches in public. Little benches in the street. But then what's going to happen if we just have it in little benches? People are just going to stay inside and not look outside.
Starting point is 00:12:03 I think maybe it should just be in all the places where people are looking, you know, where people, you can go in people's houses and that's where you kill chickens. Yes. You wanna have a meat industry? You wanna have people that are hair free, right? And it all starts because of a guy getting given shit
Starting point is 00:12:22 for yanking the nose hairs out of his nose while sitting at his desk. Because he's really taking a stand. He's saying that his society wants me to not have nostril hair. Society has to know what's involved in that, right? And that is me yanking him out and filling this pain and having a sneeze, you know?
Starting point is 00:12:41 Yeah. You can't expect me to hide this from you anymore. Yeah, it is. I'm not gonna molly coddle you, society. You know? You can't expect me to hide this from you anymore. I'm not going to molly coddle you, society. I'll do what you want, but you have to watch me while I do it. My name is Wyatt Knight. Yeah. Is that a thing?
Starting point is 00:12:58 Is that the people, is that name sort of already allocated as like an online? I don't know. I've never seen it before. Oh, it's good though. You should use that. You should be able to become a right wing sort of satirist of some kind. Mm. Do it. Mm? Oh, sure. I mean, uh,
Starting point is 00:13:15 No. I think that's, is that a more of a left thing though? White knight. Yeah, like it's a more of a thing that left people kind of complain about. Is it? I don't know. Are we all complaining about so many things? I mean, we're complaining about so many things. We should just find something in common.
Starting point is 00:13:32 I mean, that'd be great. I think that is a thing, Alistair, what we just talked about. Public hair removal. Public hair removal, the murder of animals. What's the other things we're disconnected from Andy? That we do that's bad. public hair removal. Public hair removal, the murder of animals, what's the other things we're disconnected from Andy? That we do that's bad. Public climate change, how should we...
Starting point is 00:13:51 Should we fall? I mean, the death of polar bears or whatever. Yeah, and all the insects. Should we watch the insects die? This death of the insects thing asked here. This is my new favorite thing to be depressed about. I didn't even know about the total collapse of insect. I knew about the bees, but then I thought maybe the bees were having a comeback.
Starting point is 00:14:09 I thought maybe the bees were going to be okay. But now it turns out that just like all insects are dying, all insect populations. And there's like, we're on track at the current rate to have killed all insects by the end of the century. Now that that's not gonna happen, right? We're not gonna have killed all insects by the end of the century, because like, it's not gonna be a strict linear replication of the rate at which we're currently wiping them out, because some insects will be more resistant to the things that we're doing to wipe them out.
Starting point is 00:14:39 And as we progressively wipe out more insects, the ones that remain will be the ones that are the more resistant. So it'll taper off, right? But still, it is such a huge impact to be having as this, oh my god, god damn. Pesticides spray an amount of planes onto crops. I've now started, like, for the first time ever, I consciously bought organic food this week. I've never done that. Well, if it makes you feel better,
Starting point is 00:15:07 organic food doesn't necessarily mean that no pesticide was used. You know what, Al, that makes me feel so much better. That is a huge weight off my mind, yeah. What does organic mean? Does it, one of those things that doesn't mean anything? What's one of those things that has multiple definitions and also?
Starting point is 00:15:22 Oh, great. That's really good. That's what we need in the thing that could potentially save all of humanity a bit of vagueness. Yeah, but I think you could still save humanity by still using chemicals. You just need to get rid of the water.
Starting point is 00:15:35 This would be great though, if we could do it with chemicals. Whatever we do, if we could do it with chemicals, that would be good. As long as chemicals are involved, we don't know the solution, but we know it will involve chemicals. Well, how much chemicals? Good question. We don't know what time, but we do know how much. We're going to take it to the edge and pull it back a little bit. Yeah, exactly. Or
Starting point is 00:15:55 it's going to seem like almost too much chemicals. We're going to keep putting them out there until it seems like everything's going bad, and then we'll stop it, bring it back a little, it'll be fun. Well, maybe every time you spray bug killer, you should have to also spray bug food. Right. That's the thing. But there's things like, for example, I think here's something that you can, it's a chemical, you can synthesize moth pheromone, right, and you can put it out there or whatever, and then they get makes the moths, I'm not sure if it's one of the moths pheromones that makes them go away. Right.
Starting point is 00:16:35 Or you, or you, no, I think you spray it and then it... Lose them some way. Or it's like, yeah, or it's the male p feremon and then they can't smell the females in there So they don't come to the area and they don't breed and it doesn't cause Right, so this is we're getting rid of moths That you know Well, what do you think the problem is with with growing crops? Is it moths? Well, sometimes it's moths. Oh, no moths. Yeah, I love moths
Starting point is 00:17:04 Yeah, I'd never thought about moths. Oh, no, moths. Yeah. Oh, I love moths. Do you? I'd never thought about moths as being a pest. No, they already got dusty wings. Oh, I could have any clothes and stuff, don't they? You're clothes, that's a pest, that's a pestful thing too. Yeah, very pestful. Well, what about this, right? You can have insect spray.
Starting point is 00:17:21 Yeah. You can have bug spray, but in the insect spray is like some very fine black powder, right? So that when you spray it, it's sure it's killing insects and destroying all insect populations, but then that very fine black powder goes up into the atmosphere and blocks some of the sun's light so that we don't die from global warming. So it'll just be a little, you know, it'll balance out. So okay. It's somehow blacks blocks out the sun. Well, this idea of putting the stuff that the volcanic
Starting point is 00:17:52 ash, ash kind of thing, the sulfuric thing. Solved dioxide, I wonder. Yeah, whatever up into the air. We talk about every week on this forecast. Well, because you can do it and it'll cost like $10 million a year or under, which is hugely cheap. No, that's nothing. Yeah, to fix the world problem. The only problem with it is that it doesn't. One of those are a problem. Yeah, is that it depletes the ozone layer.
Starting point is 00:18:17 Oh, fuck, really? Yeah. Oh, that was the thing that was going to save us. And well, yeah, that's what it was. I was wondering if it might deplete the ozone layer actually, because I was like, I wonder if they're gonna be any negative consequences to this gas, if I get a pump out of the air.
Starting point is 00:18:31 Did you look it up, did you? I just listened to a podcast between seeing you at work and seeing you here. I listened to a podcast that was about exactly about this. We have spent so much time together today. Wow, so you listen to this, and then just in time to destroy my one hope. Well, there's a lot of it.
Starting point is 00:18:47 Anyway, fortunately, I didn't say self-adilance, I said some black stuff, some black pair. But Andy, we could, we could, while they're trying to come up with a solution, we could come up with a solution to save ourselves, make our human form resistant to everything. Death. No, we're going to have to die. This is also why I'm skeptical of people who eat healthy food. You're still going to live at max 100 years old. Yeah, those are the people to be skeptical of alasteg.
Starting point is 00:19:19 Good on you. These people eating healthy food. No, no, but I was like, you know, looking after themselves. So we have to isolate ourselves. We have to be able to live without there being an ecosystem. Okay. Now, maybe I feel like Likens could be the solution here.
Starting point is 00:19:41 We just need to form a symbiotic relationship with one other creature that is capable of producing its own food. Well, I think we just need a micro system. We don't want to rely on the bigger ecosystem. We want to have like a like a biodome. Or even a terrarium. I mean, is that so crazy? Yeah, just a terrarium. And it doesn't even have to, this is the thing, the terrarium doesn't even have to go all the way to the ground. Right? It can just start sort of just below the anus, right around your thighs. And then terrarium up here, up over your head, you can still walk around, but you're shitting, right? Inside the terrarium, of course. Your shit is going into the sort of the ground at the bottom of the terrarium.
Starting point is 00:20:23 The foods are growing up around your body. You're eating those foods and you're shitting them back out again. And it's a totally self-contained little system. Your little legs are still poking out the bottom, so you can still go about your business. Maybe you've got a series of magnets and long poles that'll allow you to interact with the toxic environment around you. But within your little terrarium, you're fine. But do you want to have other people in your life or is that?
Starting point is 00:20:45 No, you can touch it with your magnets and your poles. Or you can touch their magnets and poles with your magnets and poles. Okay, that's good, but I guess if you can't interact with them, then you need to also be growing sort of your emotional, like you kind of need to have like a, you can't just have sustenance You know like a man can't live on bananas alone. No, it's you got you need some spiritual
Starting point is 00:21:11 fulfillment so that needs to kind of be growing in there DVDs could we We had DVDs is good. I was gonna suggest creating a small like a small erase of humans that are just created for your entertainment Thrive in your terrarium. Maybe they could think that you're God. Maybe you could be the God. Look in there. I think we're getting to the bottom of exactly what existence is. We are all living in God's terrarium to amuse him.
Starting point is 00:21:37 Well, he tries to survive in some sort of bigger hostile environment that we couldn't possibly imagine. I mean, is that so crazy? Feels like space is a pretty hostile environment, and that's where God lives. Well, God could have access to another dimension in which he's an underling. Mm, yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:55 Yeah, we could all be a form of escapism for a God who works a really dull job. Yeah, or, you know, he's not as merciful as he could be because he was mistreated by those around him. And anything about it, again, we talked about God's brother Todd, a long, long time ago on this show. But I think God Todd, I think that God itself doesn't really sound like a winner's name.
Starting point is 00:22:25 Like if you take God away from all your knowledge about God and you just heard the name God, he sounds like a doork. He sounds like somebody who doesn't have a good job. Are you think chod? Chod. Well, you think there's a better name? There's closer to Chad. I feel more like a winner's name. Like a winner's name? There's closer to Chad. I feel like a winner's name.
Starting point is 00:22:45 Like a winner's name, like Chad. Like Chad. You're right. Chad's winning. Chad. So there's Chad. He's the jock. There's Todd.
Starting point is 00:22:57 Yeah. He's a real slacker no-oper. And then there's God in the middle. Right. And he's not doing so great. So wait, this terrarium idea, the wearable terrarium, so that you, you know, your portable ecosystems, so that you can live outside of the thing.
Starting point is 00:23:16 How big do you think it has to be? I reckon it's like a sphere. A sort of a sphere? Well, maybe not a sphere. I'm sort of like a picture. I'm picturing a shape like a big piece of corn. You know, like a corn kernel? So, like, you're like a corn costume.
Starting point is 00:23:33 It's like you're in a big corn costume. Big transparent corn costume. Maybe you don't want it to be transparent. Maybe you don't want to see what's going on outside. Right? Maybe you're just blundering around the wasteland. Yeah. All you can see inside your terrarium, or your tidy little people in your banana tree, and your layer of shit around the ground, or the wasteland.
Starting point is 00:23:53 Oh, they're mixing that in with the hay and things like that. Yeah. Yeah. Are they doing that? How they could maintain it? This little species. Oh, your arms on the inside or on the outside? Your arms are on the inside, and then you've got some little sticks that poke out through holes and some magnets. I think it wouldn't be good to have holes. But they're not really holes. They're like sealed.
Starting point is 00:24:13 They got rubber in them. Yeah, that's what you want. They got those like dinky rubber that looks like an old-fashioned gear stick. If you had one of those little like trays like in a, you know, like one of those places where they accept cash, but they have like that, that tink thing that opens up and then you put something in, then it has to close and then you open it on your stuff. You get some sort of very suspicious train station or something. Or like, or like just like when you're going into jail.
Starting point is 00:24:39 Mmm. So like a little airlock. Yeah, a little airlock. But for the thing that it blocks from escaping is trust. But you would need a bit of air so that, you know, like when you're in the sun in a room that has no ventilation, wouldn't that be bad? That does sound pretty bad. It sounds like a classic dog's diet and hot car's type scenario, doesn't it?
Starting point is 00:24:59 Well, it's just that it's got an open bottom. But still, I think that hot air rising thing you've been doing. Yeah, I think it's got to be sealed off, but then it's got to have some kind of air conditioning system that pumps, you know, that just... Semipermiable membrane? Or could be a semi-permeable membrane, Alistair? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:18 Could it use reverse osmosis? Well, I don't know, Andy. No, I don't know either. We don't even really know what any of those things are that we just said. But how is this like, I mean obviously I like aspects of this. But how are we making it a sketch? I think we're silly good. Are we just starting this guy?
Starting point is 00:25:41 Are we just starting on him and he's living his life? She's living her life. It does sound like a short film, doesn't it? Sounds quite romantic as a short film. You think so? Yeah. Look, I think maybe, what if this is... They're trying to get biodiversity. They're going to be looking for biodiversity.
Starting point is 00:26:04 But this is sort of basically, this is an extreme version of what the right-wing people have now twisted their messaging around to be, right? Not that we should, because before they were saying, well, there is no climate change. And now it's kind of pretty undeniable. And now they're sort of saying, well, look, it's not worth the economic damage to change our economy. Instead, we'll just totally rebuild society in some way that allows us to adapt to this thing
Starting point is 00:26:29 that we have no way of predicting, except for the fact that we know that it's gonna be disastrous, right? And this is the sort of the end game scenario of that, where, and they would love this because it's all about the individual, right? There's no social responsibility for any of these things. It's up to the individual to build their own terrarium that they can walk around and
Starting point is 00:26:52 survive in, right? Sure. Nobody ever said you had a right to clean air. Nobody ever said that you had a right to a livable planet, okay? Sensible thinking individuals who take care of their money and know how to look after their families will build themselves corn kernels shaped inverted terrariums. Right, yeah, I kind of picture it like more like a glass
Starting point is 00:27:17 dildo kind of scenario. Or you know, like, you know those guys that used to dress up in the Simpsons as the Duff Beers. Mm, and they said their face sticking out. Mostly like their face was kind of sticking out, but maybe that could just be a sort of like a bulbous window. Yeah, bulbous window. Bulbas window and then inside there.
Starting point is 00:27:38 And you get a reptile park, you look through the bulbous window. It's like you're in there amongst all the snakes. I love it. Yeah. Yeah, just right down the words bulbous window. You're right over bulbous window. It's like you're in there amongst all the snakes. I love it. Yeah. Yeah. Just write down the words bulbous window. You're right. I wrote bulbous window. Yeah. Yeah. You know, they said the eye is the window to the soul. Yeah. It's a pretty bulbous window. The eye. Sure. Yeah. Bulbas window was um... 1960s uh... political sadarist Which is better reference to anything in particular? I don't know. Some of these are... I feel like it sounds like Aldous Huxley Oh wow. Yeah, okay. Boba Swindow. Uh, Fahrenheit 451. Is that Boba Swindow?
Starting point is 00:28:20 No, that's some... Fuck. Brake New World. Brave New World. He also did Island. Mmm. Sure, sure, sure. He also did... Island. Was that the one with you and McGregor? I think it's a different movie. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:33 Because I think this Island is... Is this the one with John Claude Van Dam? Yeah, it's the one with John Claude Van Dam. Yeah. He also did... Door to Perception. Mmm. Which one called Van Dam? That's right. John Claude Van Dam. Yes, he also did doors of perception. Which one called Van Dam?
Starting point is 00:28:46 That's right. Chalde Van Dam takes masculine with a babysitter and sees through the doors of perception. And once he has, he'll never be able to go back. The same man that he was when he first went through the door. Also, he round kicks someone to the head. himself. Sean Claude Van Dam, dirty ape. MC Escher Van Dam.
Starting point is 00:29:22 Right? Is there... What's Van Dam does Right? Is there... Why, what's... Van Dam does have that... Claude. What's his VD? What's your own Claude? GC.
Starting point is 00:29:34 Okay. VD. What are we doing here? Okay, wait, wait. G-A-J-C Escher Dam. Right? And he's not a round-kicks people. G.A. J.C. Escher Dam. Right? And he's not a round-kicks people, but he's always kicking up.
Starting point is 00:29:54 I mean, the ability to... I guess that's really what happened in that movie inception, isn't it? Like, someone who had a sort of a superpower of being able to MC Escher things, so that it looks like you're sort of punching in one direction, but actually you're punching in a direction that tricks the eye and it does some impossible twist around
Starting point is 00:30:20 and then it hits them in some other direction. That'd be pretty cool. That would be cool. Or if you were like an elastered girl type person, and you could actually punch backwards, but then go all the way around the earth and punch the person in front of you in the back of the head. Be real hard to aim though,
Starting point is 00:30:37 because you wouldn't actually be able to see where you were punching. Yeah, you get a feel for it. I don't know that you would. I don't know that you would. You know, you'd need a little GoPro on the end of your wrist, right? And then a little monitor on your face and you'd be, oh, Evelyn, you'd be weaving around Evelyn from the incredible two did make a little camera for the suit, but she put it on the chest rather than on the fist, but I'm sure she could put it on the on. I think you could just move the chest one.
Starting point is 00:31:07 You mean Edna? No, Evelyn. Evelyn. Evelyn made the suit? Yeah. Yeah, she put the camera into the suit because she was the inventor. I think they did get somebody else to design the suit and Edna was unhappy about it. Gotcha. Okay, I'm so sorry. No, and I shouldn't have challenged you in your knowledge of the Incredibles too. It's just that I not only have I seen the movie many times,
Starting point is 00:31:29 but we also have a CD that summarizes the movie in about 19 minutes, and I've heard that almost every day. So wait, is it like somebody just telling you the story? Yeah, it goes with a book. Yeah, and do they have the characters's voices in there and stuff as well? One of them, yeah. That's pretty cool, though. And all electric elasticycle.
Starting point is 00:31:52 This actually sounds like the way I would love to consume all media. Yeah. Because it sounds like it's an audio version of Reading the Wikipedia Page, which is, in a way, this is my two favorite things. Podcasts, so listening and reading the Wikipedia page of really high quality art that I would otherwise, you know. Andy, I would all be really invested in. I have to get emotionally invested in.
Starting point is 00:32:17 I have to get emotionally invested in. I have to get emotionally invested in. I have to get emotionally invested in. I have to get emotionally invested in. I have to get emotionally invested in. I have to get emotionally invested in. I have to get emotionally invested in. I have to get emotionally invested in. I have to get emotionally invested in. I have to get emotionally invested in. I have to get emotionally invested in. I must be possible to do that. I wonder if there's any rights issues with that.
Starting point is 00:32:25 They can't be, right? Wikipedia, it's all free. You're allowed to do whatever you want. You can just go and read it all out. Pretty sure. I'll read out Wikipedia to you. I'm reading it to you. I've just said I was.
Starting point is 00:32:36 Great. What'd you listen to that? I was in character as you when I said that. That was really good. I actually saw myself in that. Yeah. Well, I would, I would. Like literally after you said it, I said, I'm gonna do that. That was really good. I actually saw myself in that. Yeah, well, I would, I would, I would, like literally after you said it, I said, I'm going to do that. Yeah. I was like, oh my god,
Starting point is 00:32:49 you were already being me. I would listen to that, I'll stay. Yeah. I would, I would have a real good time. How about this? This episode is brought to you by Progressive.

Starting point is 00:33:45 Because we talk about the superfluous third nipple. Mm-hmm. Right. But really the first two nipples are pretty superfluous. The superfluous. Yeah. Right. So why are we making fun of this third nipple? Also, how do you know which one if there's a superfluous third nipple? How do you know which ones are superfluous?
Starting point is 00:33:59 Right. Which ones are superfluous? Which ones are superfluous one? Yeah. Really, the first two nipples are superfluous because it's the third nipple that allows you to say, I have a third nipple. You can't say, I have a second nipple because that's not interesting. It's the third nipple that gives you a talking point.
Starting point is 00:34:18 Retinigating is superfluousness. It is useful as a thing to talk about about the fact that you have a third nipple. The shame is, you need the first two n the fact that you have a third nipple. The shame is you need the first two nipples in order to have a third nipple. Because if you didn't have the first two nipples, you just have a first nipple. You can't say to anyone, I mean, it's hard enough to say,
Starting point is 00:34:33 I've got a second nipple. But to say, I've got a first nipple to people. I mean, then you look crazy. But it is also interesting, though, saying I have a first nipple. I have a first nipple, sure. I mean, it's an opener. I would love.
Starting point is 00:34:48 And I know it's not really wrong. But I would love to just, in conversation with people, just show them my nipple and just talk about it with them. I mean, you could do it on a booth in the street, I suppose. I know, not on a booth. I just want like colleagues and family members and you know, some like people that you meet whilst you're doing sort of, you know,
Starting point is 00:35:13 you're at a party or something like that. We should just be able to go, how weird is this weird bit of slightly discolored skin? It's like it feels pretty much like it, but it's a little bit softer like the rest of the skin. But coming from film and TV, which is where we work, really the nipples to me look like they are markers that were put on there for some sort of green screen thing,
Starting point is 00:35:35 like you were gonna edit something else in and post. Like you just need the two nipples as reference points, stick some nipples on there, and then when we get this into the edit suite, we can CGI on a like a, and a doorknob or something into the middle of his chest, and we'll have, we'll be able to, you know, map it in three days, and it'll look like the doorknob's really there. So what I think now or four, I mean some biologists might disagree.
Starting point is 00:36:01 Could we put something more useful there? More useful than the nipples. Than the nipples. Well, it feels like people who get their nipples pissed are well on their way to doing something useful than nipples, but then they don't really do it. They don't really do it. It feels like they could hang something there,
Starting point is 00:36:15 some more metals or something like that. Wow, I mean, what an anzac march that would be. You see our diggers out there those proud boys With the with their medals hanging from their pissed nipples. Hmm. I Mean could you do that with your grandfather's net and metals? What a tribute. I don't know where my grandfather's medals are. Does your grandfather have metals. Yeah, all right I don't think I don't think we're metal winners in your family. Yeah, yeah I don't think we're metal winners. In your family? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:46 Yeah. I don't know if anybody has metals. Is it bragging to walk around with other people's metals? It's... I, my first instinct is, yes, it's the worst thing you can do. My second instinct is, but it's the worst thing you can do. My second instinct is, but it's actually quite a nice tribute to somebody
Starting point is 00:37:08 who is important to you and your family. And I feel like I should have had those instincts in the other order to make me a better person. Maybe not even had that first instinct at all, just gone with the nice one thing to pay tribute to some of your family. But I bet there are also people who do it for real toxic and horrible reasons, about like trying to appropriate valor and, you know, glorify war that they didn't understand
Starting point is 00:37:37 and weren't a part of. So- But is there a way that you could do a really bad thing like that for good? Well, exactly. I think there is. And I think if you want to wear your grandfather's medals, you should have to do it with them hanging off your nipples, right? And now you feel not all of, but at least some of the sacrifice and the pain that your forebeer had to go through. It's a little more meaningful. the more metals they won the more weight Pulling down painfully on your nipples. So you experience even more like you know Probably even in a proportion at amount to the amount of suffering that they had to go through to get all those metals
Starting point is 00:38:16 Is the amount of suffering that you have to experience wearing them dangling from your nipples as you march in the Anzac Day march the Anzac depurade sure And that is the only fitting way that ongoing generations we can pay tribute to the diggers. And people take more, you know, a little more seriously, I think. I think there's nothing that will make people take it more seriously than you're wearing it off for nipples.
Starting point is 00:38:48 And I mean, I guess the whole point of it is that we're remembering these people who have made the same mistake. Yeah, and we're still definitely remembering them. And I think that memory will be much more seared deeply into your memory if you see sort of dangling off bleeding nipples. So it's not even a good pre-use. No, no, no, it's not a good rule. No, it's been done under war conditions. The other flip side is of course, is that conscientious objectors were given feathers as a symbol,
Starting point is 00:39:22 as a sort of an insult. Now. And then they're gonna put them through their nipples and because it's organic and it's from dirty birds, you'll get infected and their descendants will die, which is what people want really from the beginning. I was gonna say that having a feather hanging from your nipple wouldn't weigh nearly as much
Starting point is 00:39:42 and you wouldn't feel that and it would probably be a good message about how not going to war is also pretty good probably. I think nipple metals is a sketch idea. If anything's a sketch idea, nipple metals is a sketch idea. There's a few different ways you can run at this as well. You can absolutely do a modern artist who's doing... It feels like a thing that a modern artist would do. They would get their grandfather's metals and they would hang them off their nipples. They would just stand in a gallery space. They wouldn't even bother doing a painting or a photograph or
Starting point is 00:40:20 they'd just go and stand there with these things hanging off their nipples. Everyone walks around them and looks at them and they don't react whatever you do to them or something. Or maybe they do. Maybe they do, maybe they get attacked you. Maybe they attack you. That's a great one. That's a great twist on it, isn't it? Because there's been a few other ones where you go and sit. I think Shia La Booth did one where you could go and sit opposite Shia La Booth and you could do whatever you wanted to him and he wouldn't react. What about? One where they attack you if you do something to them. Yeah. And you don't even have to go and sit opposite him.
Starting point is 00:40:49 He's just in the street and he'll just attack you. Oh, it's like a public rampage, but for art. Yeah. Yeah. Art rampage. Yeah, the sort of the active shooter kind of, but as an art. Hmm. Hmm. kind of, but as an art. Mm. Mm.
Starting point is 00:41:06 I'm trying to think of a pun now about going on a rampage. Going on a pam page. Pam page. Oh. Pam. She sounds like the person in the office who cleans out the fridge at the end of the week and throws out everybody's food, if they haven't labeled their containers and she calls it going on a PAM page or people call it going on a PAM page behind her back.
Starting point is 00:41:36 This might feel like nothing, but what about all the food at the back of a fridge? If you're like, you know, maybe a workplace that during the weekend kind of sneaks out and gets becomes a bigger and bigger being going from fridge to fridge accumulating new parts that are, it's become so alive and then it's a horror kind of movie where people are being brought down by sort of carries and sort of roasted vegetables and different things that they've not emptied from there. How are they being brought down?
Starting point is 00:42:14 Is it killing them? Is it like coming out of this creature? Yeah. It's like looking at them from, you know. That's an amazing soundscape, I love it. That's like, you know, it's hiding in, in, in sort of stationery, and covered and things like that, and something around, and it's trying to take people down,
Starting point is 00:42:34 and puts it's disgusting like, you know, roasted carrot stick, fingers over their face as they kind of walk past the stationery, covered pulls that, pulls them in. Is it called freezer burn? Is that the name of this movie? Well, I think it's in the fridge because the freezer will actually prepare it. Is it called CRISPR? Could we call it CRISPR? CRISPR seems like the name of a horror movie, right?
Starting point is 00:42:56 I mean, I realize it's probably not the CRISPR area that you're thinking of. Is it you're thinking more of those upper shelves, upper shelves, and that space really at the back. But maybe the core of it starts in the crisper. Mm. Great. And our crisper, we have real issues with our crisper at home, just because it's deep, and you put the food on top of the pile, and then the stuff at the bottom really does go.
Starting point is 00:43:21 I like it. I think Pam would really come into her own in this. Oh, she's there like last hope and say, I told you to clean up the fridge. Maybe she went on maternity leave. That's what happened. Maybe she had a hip operation. I'm now basing this really closely on a woman that I knew when I was teaching. She was amazing. I wrote a short story about her. Really? Yeah. Where she became a creature of pure organization and ascended to like a higher plane because she was just so organized. She did everything at the school. She was like, yeah, incredible. And then people would get sick and she would just take on their workload as well. Surely you can't be doing this also.
Starting point is 00:44:06 And she was also always so calm. Really? Yeah. Had she reached enlightenment? I think it's very possible that she had. Yeah, she'd achieved some kind of laminar flow. Laminar flow. I love me some laminar flow. But laminar flow of just like efficiency just like Workplace efficiency, which is also incredible in a in a teaching Environment where there's just so many unpredictable things and so much chaos What a woman Amazing. What is she doing now? I don't know. I like to think she's still there. Is she? Did she have kids?
Starting point is 00:44:46 She had a son. Yeah. He worked in the IT department. Really? Hmm. So efficient. And he was, seven years old. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:57 He was a cross-it. Hey, do we have, where'd you want to listen to? What do we do? Yes. You might know this listener, Andy. I hope I do. They're a Patreon supporter. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:13 Their last name is a form of communication. Text message? Yep, it's Graham text message. Tabitha post. Tabitha post. Hi Tabitha. Hi Tabitha post. Thanks for listening to the podcast Tabitha. And thank you for giving us words on the Patreon. Thank you for supporting us on Patreon. Thank you everyone who supports us on Patreon. You're all delightful. We appreciate it. It's such a helpful way to help us get Andy out of financial strife.
Starting point is 00:45:47 Yeah, this is coming. Every day, Andy comes to me talking about a new decision that he's made that is put him into further financial strife or has added some new responsibility. Yeah, we adopted a blind dog today. Yeah. Anyway, it's probably not going to work out. We might have to take her back. Yeah I don't I don't want to think I don't want the listeners to think the patreon supposed to know to think that I'm frittering away all the money That's not dogs. No, no, no, no, the the money that he gets from this
Starting point is 00:46:19 From this actually is the thing that saves him at the end of the month after it's the money that he makes on his regular job that he fritters away. Would you say what word you use? Fritters? You fritter it away? Yeah. On responsibilities you don't need to have. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:46:40 I spent all of my money on zucchini. Fuck it. Man, that's a good place to it. No, I think that's actually a genuinely good way to spend your money. I'm zucchini fritters. Yeah. Yeah. You could make worse choices. And you will help.
Starting point is 00:46:58 No, sorry. And he's actually making some pretty good choices. Thanks, Al. He just cares a lot about everyone. Tabitha has three words, Andy. Okay. I wanna hear him. Have you ever heard of this word, game?
Starting point is 00:47:15 Yeah. Yeah. I heard that game, G-A-M-E, game. Yeah, what was it make you think about? Oh, thanks for being a gaming game, Evans, TV show. Now, friend Evan, who runs Stupid Old Studios, has a show called G Gamey Gaming Game, Evans, TV show, now friend Evan, who runs Jupyter Old Studios as a show called Gamey Gaming Game, that both you and I have been on a couple of times very funny.
Starting point is 00:47:30 Yeah. Well, it makes me think of Vanesson. Really? Yeah, or deer, and all those kind of animals that look like deer. Makes me think of the game. The game with Michael Douglas. Yeah. I liked that movie a lot.
Starting point is 00:47:46 I think I remember liking it. I mean, it was just one of those ones that has an impact. Was the game also the name of that pickup artist book? Oh, yeah. It was also that with Michael Douglas. Hmm. I mean, if you were with Michael Douglas, I were going to be easier to pick up.
Starting point is 00:47:59 I'm going to write a book called The Game. It's going to be exclusively about picking up Michael Douglas. Well, I'm going to be, I'm going to write a book called The Game. And it going to be exclusively about picking up Michael Douglas. Well, I'm going to be, I'm going to write a book called The Game and it's going to be about picking up using Michael Douglas. I mean, yeah, you're, it's definitely a start isn't that, you mentioned that with your form of peacocking, you walk in with Michael Douglas on your head. You, if you had 24, everyone's going to look at that guy with Michael Douglas on his head. Absolutely. But even, you know, you don't even have to have Michael Douglas on your head. If you had 24. Everyone's gonna look at that guy with Marco Douglas on his head. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:48:26 But even, you know, you don't even have to have Michael Douglas on your person. You could go up to a person in a bar and say, how would you like to come with me to dinner with Michael Douglas? I'm not kidding. This is, there's no, you don't have to do anything. Right? You don't have to have sex with me or anything like that. What I, you want a gentleman?
Starting point is 00:48:53 Yeah. All I want is for you to come with me and I'll take you away to a place where you don't know where you're going. And, and then you'll have dinner with Michael Douglas. And then if you want to leave, I have no problem. I mean, the me effect that you specified that makes me have so much trust in you. But I mean,
Starting point is 00:49:20 how it would be so much more effective than if the person you were suggesting was like, just like, you know, coming, hang out with Evan Monroe Smith. Have you ever done it with Evan Monroe Smith who does gaming, gaming game? I don't know, that would be pretty effective. I'd love to see that.
Starting point is 00:49:39 Do you think so? Just a stranger in a bar, this person they don't know? I mean, they could be watching, they could be a fan of gaming game. I know, but. But you're right. He doesn't have the star power. Michael Douglas is a great,
Starting point is 00:49:52 is a great, great hook. You know, and if you can deliver on that, good luck to you. It's very exciting. You're running this down. Yeah. All right. It's very exciting. Are you writing this down? Yeah. Alright. That was only one of Tabitha's words. Great.
Starting point is 00:50:12 Oh, we're doing well, so far. The second word is, what do you think it is? Rob Spear. You so off. Alright. Oh, ow. The second word is mountain. Game mountain. All right. Second word is mountain. Game mountain.
Starting point is 00:50:27 Game mountain. Game mountain. I go to game mountain. Mm-hmm. I frolic in the foothills of game mountain. I might even go to base camp. You know, I'm surprised, but sort of all those animals that are a bit like deer.
Starting point is 00:50:43 You know, like all the animals. They're a whole category of animals. First base camp. Okay. Second base camp. We've come up with an idea a long time ago about this place that's like base camp, but it's like not base camp,
Starting point is 00:50:57 but you go there and it's like base camp themed. And you feel like you're at base camp. I thought if we did actually, No, it's a fun idea. You know what's a fun idea. You know this place and it's always like, you guys gonna go up to the top and it goes soon. Yeah, we're just prepping, we're just recovering. Yeah, and then you have a fight.
Starting point is 00:51:18 We've got two more days here to acclimatize to the thing. And then you know, people come through and some of them go up to the some of this other you don't you're there for the base camp experience. They're just actors. Yeah. That's right. These actors who come through. Some people coming back from the summit, sometimes people come back and they've lost a guy. That'd be great. Yeah. Or sometimes they go, we need a team to go up and rescue somebody and then you to go up and rescue somebody and then you have to act as a coward to be a coward and not go up.
Starting point is 00:52:00 This is no one out there is offering a coward simulator. You know all these first person, like URL shooters, these escape rooms or whatever whatever you know those things where you get to shoot zombies where's the coward option? That's right just running. Hmm one of these things where you don't actually or you have a gun but the only target you have to hit with your gun is you have to throw it on the ground. You got to hit the. Yeah, and then you have to run. And then you have to survive by just trying and not get scratched too much. But also if you could somehow survive by turning in your friends.
Starting point is 00:52:34 Mm, that would be good. Oh, that's a great game. What all you gotta do is give up all your friends. But I guess there's going to be something that makes it more difficult to show business. Is it? No, it's not really. No, no, sorry, my mistake. And then the last word Andy. Yep. And then I had to look it up. Now even though I do come from Canada from a long time ago, this word, T-O-Q-U-E, looks like it says, Tocque.
Starting point is 00:53:14 But I looked it up and then I remembered it. And if I'm, I could be completely incorrect, but I believe in Canada it is pronounced Tocque. Tocque, yeah. Okay. Because I think it's TOOC. TOOC? Yeah. Okay. Because I think it's the French word in TOOC. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe it's in TOOC. I don't know. In TOOC. In TOOC. In TOOC. In TOOC. In TOOC. In TOOC. I don't know. But I'm gonna go with TOOC and it's just a beanie. It's just a warm beanie. Game Mountain Tuk. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:46 Tuk. Tuk. Um, I, you know, that phenomenon of frogs that are, you put them in, you can put them in water and you boil the water slowly and they have no idea. And then they just cook. But they don't realize it's getting hot. I don't know if that's true, by the way.
Starting point is 00:54:04 It's great analogy for stuff, but I don't know if that's true, by the way. It's great analogy for stuff, but I don't know if it's a real thing. But I feel like that could happen to me very easily with having a beanie on my head. There's been some days where it like starts out cold, I got a beanie on my head. I won't realize, like they will get quite hot and I won't realize I've got a beanie on my head
Starting point is 00:54:24 until it's almost too late. Like I'm like, I am feeling terrible and something is wrong with my body. And then the last second, I'll maybe even, not confident, I might graze it or something and realize that I have the beanie on there. But I feel like I'm at risk of cooking in my own scale because I don't want to take up a beanie. And maybe that could be useful. Yes.
Starting point is 00:54:49 That could be useful like as a superpower where fainting becomes useful. I mean, this would be great if you were a coward. Fainting? Yeah. I know, but a coward is pretty useless. That's one of the benefits of being a coward. Also, if you coward is pretty useless. That's one of the benefits of being a coward. Also, if you find-
Starting point is 00:55:08 No responsibility. I think, but I think if you find, you're not really a coward, are you? It's like somebody who accidentally does something heroic. If you're fainting, you're kind of an accidental coward. You don't really get to claim credit for fainting a coward. That's what you're body letting you down.
Starting point is 00:55:26 What if you could be an on-purpose coward? Like an on-purpose fainting coward. Like if you were on command. Like you're super power was that you could truly fain't, but on command. Like a kangaroo can set a will will a way of terminating their young. I've heard this. Yeah. But like that, but with fainting. I mean, what an amazing place to go to, for an example, of something that you can do intentionally.
Starting point is 00:56:00 Well, it's just all the things that you can do. You can do it to your body. Almost everything that is done. Well, no, no, because it's a specific example, because it's a thing that most people don't have the ability to do with their body. OK. And it's normally just an involuntary thing, but you can control it. OK.
Starting point is 00:56:17 OK. OK. OK. Cool, cool, cool. Yeah. Now, where would this be useful? OK. I guess scenario where you this be useful? Okay. I guess scenario where you have to cause a distraction during a bank robbery.
Starting point is 00:56:31 You know, you're locked up in prison, right? You need to trick the guards into coming into the room so that you can hit them on the head. Yeah, but now, do you see the flaw in what you're saying? It's starting to sound pretty heroic. Oh, and it's supposed to be cow. Well, this person's a cow. And it's so hard to get my head around it.
Starting point is 00:56:57 Exactly what it is we're trying to achieve it. We want somebody to... Who uses... Their superpower. Their superpower. If being able to intentionally faint in order to achieve their cowardice. Okay, so, okay, no, this is quite good. So, like, there is a scenario where, like, there is a baby stuck in a burning building,
Starting point is 00:57:21 right? And this coward is walking past and somebody says, oh my god, please help the baby. And they are able to faint like that and get out of it. That's right. And they could even, in that scenario, they're even sort of taking the attention of other people who might be walking by. Who could run into the building?
Starting point is 00:57:42 I mean, that's incredible, isn't it? That they're not, like, it's not just cowardice. It's, I mean, even though it's the person that's worse. The person who's yelling out, my baby is now worried about them who's, oh no, my, oh my rescue. My person who could potentially have saved my baby. And then that's that person then calling out for, somebody saved my baby and my
Starting point is 00:58:05 Somebody please save this guy. He's gonna save my baby I guess also You could this is a similar kind of you know scenario in which you could do it But let's say you're visiting your grandmother. She lives in a home and She's just handed you your tray or you know she had she had hand you sitting on the couch and she's sitting on her lazy boy and she had handed you your tray that had you know a non-union tuna sandwich or something like that. Your grandmother is handing this to you? Yeah yeah and then and then
Starting point is 00:58:41 she sits on her chair and she eats her sandwich that she made as well. And then you finish your plate and she goes, hand me your plate like that. And then you've put gender fame. So you don't have to give it back to try. Yeah. Like so she'll come and get it. We're worried about you and stuff. I made it.
Starting point is 00:59:03 Is that cow at us? I'm worried about you and stuff. I'm worried. Is that cowardist? Do you think that the thing that's stopping you from giving back the tray is cowardist? Because this is sounds just more like laziness. Yeah, but you know laziness, I think, is just an off-cutting, very mild form of cowardist
Starting point is 00:59:18 about you're scared to make any effort. Because yeah, I think what is laziness, it's like you're afraid of the pain any effort. Because yeah, I think what is laziness, it's like you're afraid of the pain of effort. So amazing, because she was sitting in a lazy boy, but really it was you who was the lazy boy. You were the lazy boy all along. All along. That thing was just a recliner.
Starting point is 00:59:39 But when it needs to, it doesn't recline. It gets to work, whereas you, when you're needed, that's when you really do your reclining. I sit on an incliner. Look, I'm just gonna write down Fanding Superpower for Calward. Right. This is not really super, but.
Starting point is 00:59:56 No, it's a superpower. I mean, it's above and beyond what the rest of us are able to achieve. I thought you were gonna suggest in the nursing home scenario that one of the nurses comes in and says, oh, could you please help me to wash your grandma or something like that, and then you faint. Oh, no, it wasn't going to be that big a task. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:19 No, you did good, you did good, Al. Can you take us through the sketches that we've come up with on this episode of the podcast? Well then there's obviously these two. The guy who's caught pulling nostril hair as I was out of his nose and when somebody says it's disgusting, he says, well actually I think that these kinds of things, these kinds of grooming responsibilities, society pressures us into, should be visible to everyone. And then he somehow forces women and butchers and sort of abiturists.
Starting point is 01:01:03 And also maybe are the migrant workers and the people who take advantage of them to everybody has to work out in the open do all their stuff right on the open all the things that were ashamed because a lot of the migrant workers do have to work out in the open I think that's part of the how about hardship okay some of the sometimes they're working you're right though scenarios in which we sort of pretend like they don't it's not happening. Yeah, I think you're right.
Starting point is 01:01:31 I think we're talking about the same cafe. We're thinking of the same cafe aren't you? Aren't we, you and I. We're all the, seems like the older immigrant workers are in the back in the kitchen. Yeah, but not just that. I think it's most low-paid jobs. They're just kind of... Anyway, look, it doesn't sound as fun in the kitchen. Yeah, but not just that. I think it's most low-paid jobs. Anyway, look, it doesn't sound as fun in the way. We get that point.
Starting point is 01:01:51 I think that's definitely something. I'd also like to just reiterate my idea about a waxing cell on which hangs up all the strips of wax with all the hair on them, the use strips out the front. It's kind of like when you go past a farm, and a farmer is like, shot a whole lot of foxes and tied the tails to the fence line or whatever. It's like that. You really show what your cable off. And if you looked at that and you saw those strips of wax and you were like, man, there's so many hairs on this strip.
Starting point is 01:02:18 You know that they're doing a good job. I think it'll look pretty cool. And the building would look all furry. Oh yeah, it would look really cool to see it. It's sort of white strips with wax on them filled with hair. Fur is not really a thing that's used very much in architecture. Mmm. So.
Starting point is 01:02:35 Or paper with sort of sticky wax on it with sort of leg hair is embedded in the wax. Sure, I mean, that's an even, I think that's an object that's used even less in architecture. Yeah, I mean, you're making it the way you're describing it, it's making it sound like kind of less. Yeah. Like kind of, by describing it as what it is. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:57 Anyway, then there's the portable terrarium to adapt to the insect death. Yeah, it's just the logical extension of them. So we're just creating microclamets that go around us. We have mentioned somehow that we've going to have tiny humans living in there. We could just be insects and stuff like that that we keep in our tiny ecosystem.
Starting point is 01:03:15 Yeah, that would be nice. But, you know, if tiny humans turns out to, if we turns out we've killed all the insects before we get around and making this, maybe it'll have to be tiny humans. Yeah, right. Like it still buzz to be tiny humans. Yeah, right. Like it still buzzes if you like. That would be good.
Starting point is 01:03:28 Hmm. They could do every job. Um, we've got nipple metals, obviously. It's just a way of really remembering the war vets. Mm-hmm. That's it, you know? Yeah, on your way up to the center top to lay a wreath. You got your jingly jingly.
Starting point is 01:03:44 You know, you're not wearing a shirt, by the way. It's hopeless. And yeah. We got CRISPR. CRISPR, which is terrifying. It's the monster that was formed from the remnants of old lunches and in the work fridge after Pam went on holidays for two weeks. And it goes and feeds on, you know, it's- Tonight leftovers are having you for dinner. Probably does start eating people. By starting putting them in the fridge, they start calling moldy. Then it can add them to its person.
Starting point is 01:04:23 Yes. It's a sentient mold. Could be slime mold. Oh, and made out of like, old roasted carrot sticks. Then we got the game, which is where you use Michael Douglas to help pick up. Yes. Yes. Yes.
Starting point is 01:04:41 And then we got the fainting super power for a coward. Because that's the, I think that's the real difference there is that most super powers, you see them applied by people who are trying to be heroic. Or trying to be villainous. Or villainous, but it's still something in which you win. It's still active. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:59 You know, you're still getting involved. Not this one. There's super powers to be not involved, to avoid responsibility. And it sort of opens up the world of more like, well, how if people did have super mental powers and super physical powers, how would they use those to avoid the work that they currently try to do? Yeah, because that, I mean, we both know that if you or I had superpowers, that is how we would deploy them, you know, in some sort of procrastination, the procrastinate all.
