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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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,
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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?
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,
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.
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...
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.
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.
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,
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?
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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. Most of you aren't just

Useful nipples. Now this is this is this is this is this is the thing that I've
thought about.
Yeah. Right.
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?
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.
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,
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.
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,
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,
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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
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.
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,
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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,
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?
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.
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.
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?
She had a son.
Yeah.
He worked in the IT department.
Really?
Hmm.
So efficient.
And he was, seven years old.
Yeah.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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,
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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-
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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?
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Tick tock.
