Not just hello, but also welcome to two in the think tank. The show where we come up with five sketch ideas. And I'm Andy Matthews. Sure, big change.
Starting point is 00:01:09 And I'm Alex here. George William, Sean Lieberidge. That's right. And I'm an impartial observer. Yeah, you're the whole process. Well, you're the, you play the role of the audience. Sure, I will. I always do. I feel I do, Alistair. You know, it's all, it's
Starting point is 00:01:28 not, this, what people don't realize is that this entire podcast is all crowd work. Exactly. It's, it's, it's, I'm the audience. Yeah. Alistair is the performer and when we, you know, and he gets, you know, he gets a fair bit out of me. And we build a good... Including, like, a fair bit of sketch ideas. Sure. You know? But I mean, that's the... On film episodes, all of the sketch ideas, I feel. That's the skill of the performer. To get stuff out of the audience.
Starting point is 00:01:55 Yeah, and you create a safe space, and it's also about picking the right audience member. I think I'm really good at creating a safe space. I've never felt safer. Yeah, because I mean, like, I, it's like, I love a toilet cubicle in a public toilet. I feel safe in there. Really?
Starting point is 00:02:13 Yeah. Really? Yeah, especially the more cubicles, the more anonymous, the safer I feel. Now, what I love about it is I love when you go in there and there's little bits of toilet paper just on the ground. You know, that door is a really great start and then you're looking the bowl and there's just a big shit in there. Well yeah. People haven't flushed that
Starting point is 00:02:34 away. Or even even if they have flush your way, it's just, it's just stained around the edge. Sure, I mean look, I don't love things that are discussed. And then I love when there's no seat as well. Oh yeah. Yeah. And then what are you doing that's no? Do you try and hover? Do you lay down a little bits of paper
Starting point is 00:02:51 on the stainless steel rim? I'm going to get one of those stainless steel toilets, just my house. Yeah, of course, but you know why they're good. Why are they good out? Well, if ever somebody puts a stick of dynamite in there, it can withstand that. And I think that's kind why they were that's that's what that's about. People were like blowing these things up, I think And then you hear that like with like firecrackers or something that people were like busting open
Starting point is 00:03:19 I mean, I'm not sure if you thought I was joking there. I still think maybe you are a little bit I'm not sure if you thought I was joking there. I still think maybe you are a little bit. A little bit. But surely it's other abuses that they have to enjoy. It's not the stick of dynamite. You don't design toilets for the dynamite wielders. Well, it's the one in 100 years stick a dynamite. You want that toilet to last.
Starting point is 00:03:42 You're a local council. You're thinking about the next generation. You're a local council. Yeah, you're thinking about the next generation. You're a toilet architect. Where are my children's children gonna shit? Exactly. I want to erect a toilet that will be a beacon. That I can pass things down for generations. It's a shit of dynamite.
Starting point is 00:04:02 No. I didn't get that one. I mean, unless you're talking about like eating dynamite and shitting out dynamite. No. I didn't get that one. I mean, unless unless you're talking about like eating dynamite and shitting out dynamite or eating the ingredients and forming dynamite in your stomach. Yeah, I don't know how you get the wick in. The wick in. Yeah. Oh, that's a that's a very specific diet that you eat at the end of the end of the week. Yeah. because you're holding it in all week. That's the one thing. Okay. And then you grease up the wick with some sort of laxative.
Starting point is 00:04:29 You've got to eat... Lubricate. You've got to eat, you know, those things that absorb moisture in your shoes. Or moisture, like when you buy electronics or whatever, those little packets that absorb moisture and it says, do not eat. Yeah, yeah. That's the look at gel. That's the one time you eat it because you got to suck all the moisture out of you
Starting point is 00:04:48 so you can eat stuff that forms a rope. You clog up your pipe so that it's so clogged that there's only a narrow aperture through which things can go. And that's when you eat just kind of, just like, you know, you eat like... Hemp. Yeah, hemp and sort of like the actual,
Starting point is 00:05:06 recently shorn wool of a sheep. Like that, and you eat that together, and as it passes through the aperture, it'll sort of weave together, form a nice dry, because as it's passing through the silica, it's having all, everything, any moisture taken out of it.
Starting point is 00:05:23 And then it'll just land on top of that turd that's been sitting there all week, which is now been formed into dynamite. And then, I think the force of pushing it out will be so violent that it will just ignite, and then you just have to run. I think what you were describing there with the ability to shit a rope is you actually might have cracked the secret to becoming a true human spider-man right? Sure. Like if we can Develop the right kind of diet. Yeah, such that you do Shit silk And I imagine piss silver or something like that, you know?
Starting point is 00:06:05 You get silver, like metal, liquid metal or hard metal. I'm just thinking to be a great thing to say, I shit silk and piss silver. Yeah, that would be good, like, or like the good silver. Yeah, sure. We need a sketch idea. Is that any of this? Well, I was wondering if maybe, you know, the diet necessary to be able to shit silk.
Starting point is 00:06:29 I mean, people love making things at home. You know, I'm looking into buying a machine where I can make my own soy milk. You know, this is a thing. You get a soy milk machine, 150 bucks. You just put in soy beans, dry soy beans. Yeah. You go away, you come back, you got a liter of soy milk. Have you ever bought soybeans? No.
Starting point is 00:06:49 Like, is it going to be cheaper than soy milk? It's going to work out cheaper. There's no way. What are you talking about? I just don't think so. I absolutely guarantee to you that it will work out cheaper than buying soy milk. Like, what is your understanding of the world where getting the raw ingredients for something
Starting point is 00:07:10 is more expensive than the process? That's most cooking. That is not the case. It's a lot of cooking. That is a name one cooking where that's the case. Spaghetti. So it's cheaper to buy cooked spaghetti? A lot of the time.
Starting point is 00:07:27 I can't, I can't concede because then I lose the audience. So all I have to say is yes and then you lose. I mean, there are scenarios in which I, if I buy, if you buy Cook Spaghetti, it's like, you know, if you buy the, if you're making Bolognese, you're buying a thing of meat that might be like $12. That's already you could buy spaghetti for that. From a shop, from a restaurant. From a restaurant, you get spaghetti for that product. For $12 bucks. Yeah. Yeah, and then you've saved the time as well that you would have spent making the thing. From a restaurant. You get spaghetti for that product. For 12 bucks.
Starting point is 00:08:06 Yeah. And then you've saved the time as well that you would have spent making the thing. Time is money. Time is money. And now you've got that time, you can go do other stuff. Maybe make a revealed. A revealed? Exactly.
Starting point is 00:08:17 You could make some of that serengeti spaghetti we were talking about before the show. You know, what about people who just like eat spaghetti dry, just hard, dry noodles? That's serringette spaghetti. How they eat it up there. Yeah, it's a spe- no, it's a specialized spaghetti that's made to be eaten dry. Like, you know, you know, sometimes you cook in your spaghetti.
Starting point is 00:08:40 Yeah. You eat one of those sticks, even though no part of that is enjoyable, you just do it anyway. Sometimes you crunch up a hole one of those little little circular tubular ones Penny Penny you crunch up a whole penny you have in a terrible time. It's all sharp gets in between your teeth. Yeah forms that kind of Claggy gummi-ness that fills up all the gaps sure
Starting point is 00:09:00 But you still do it, but imagine that because you're nobody's ever start. Yeah And also we're good. We're gonna make serring getty spaghetti spaghetti is absolutely on the list of things that we're gonna make as well as they're gonna be enjoyable. We're gonna make it enjoyable. I think it's going to be good to do it. Whatever whatever it takes. Could you deep fry the pasta? Maybe you could deep fry the pasta. Maybe it's puffed. And some way puffed pasta. Oh, I don't know if it's crunchy then. It's just kind of like, you know, kind of like your teeth, like the kind of crunchy. Like it's a dropout. Where your teeth kind of just slide through it, like a puffed wheat.
Starting point is 00:09:35 Like a cheeto. Yeah, but that's not good because it's still got to be pasta, right? Yeah, it's still got to be pasta. It can't just be a cheeto. I mean, deep fry is kind of closer. It'll still look like pasta. But I think if you take something that's already dry and then you deep fry it, are we getting any closer to like, I think some of that, you know, still, I think it's still porous. Some of that oil is going to get in right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I mean, I guess you take something dry and you deep fry it. I'm describing exactly a papadum. I'm describing a prawn cracker. I had to tell my wife that prawn crackers are made from prawns recently. She didn't believe me.
Starting point is 00:10:08 She thought it was just a coincidence. No, there's a time that everybody's life where they have to tell their wife that. When did you tell her? Have you, when did you stop telling your wife that prawn crackers are? Or something other than prawns. I mean, I think it's just something that wives don't learn. How would they in the wild?
Starting point is 00:10:30 In the wild. They didn't evolve for that. The men go out and they deep fry the prawn crackers. The women stay at the cave. I mean, I think dads don't think to tell their daughters. Yeah, fathers tell your daughters. Tell your daughters the prawn crackers are made from prongs. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:10:48 Look, I think I still want a shit silk diet, right? Okay, wait, I want to be able to produce silk at home. I know, but we've got to come up with a sketch idea for that. Yeah, well, that's the thing. It's an ad, it's a product, it's a company. But what about, do you think stainless steel toilet, there's something that, it's a company. But what about do you think stainless steel toilet, there's something that's sketching there? Like, how do you justify stainless steel toilet?
Starting point is 00:11:09 The fact that you feel like stainless steel toilet is closer to being a sketch than shit and silk. It really makes me question this whole exercise. I'm glad that there are big changes coming up in season two of the podcast. We've decided that after the second, after the 200th episode, that's gonna be, we're gonna at season two of the podcast. You've decided that after the second, after the 200th episode, that's gonna be, we're gonna start season two
Starting point is 00:11:28 of two of the thing, Tank. Season one is that standard, you know, you do 40 episodes, you take a three-year break, you start again, still in season one, you do another 160 episodes. Yeah, I think. I then you start season two. That's when you start, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:46 It's, I think, some big changes are coming. Andy might start controlling the pad. Oh, wow. And, um, and maybe we'll start, um, Maybe we'll do this, it's standing up. And we could do it yelling. Yeah. Well, I mean, I, I, well, I'll start yelling
Starting point is 00:12:01 and Andy will just keep doing it. I'll continue to shout. I'll continue to shout. will just keep doing it. I'll continue to do it. You'll just shut. Look, okay. Let's both evaluate stainless steel toilet and silk, okay? Okay. So, objectively, all right? Objectively. I'm, I'm, let's approach this as just like, you know,
Starting point is 00:12:17 as watchers, people who are coming here from another planet who don't know anything about human society. Okay. And, okay. So stainless steel toilet, okay? other planet who don't know anything about human society. Okay. And so stainless steel toilet, okay. So this is going to be great when aliens do come and we'll finally have some outside observers and we'll be able to get them to like to arbitrate on all our disagreements.
Starting point is 00:12:38 Really like finally, thank God you're here. All right. Now we want to know which one of these gods seems the least plausible. Yeah, I think that's really good Yeah, well, okay. Well, do you think that's a sketch? I did I could be a sketch. I did I feel like that doesn't even need an alien to arbitrate it I'm not even using the right word there. Arbitrate Arbitrator Yeah, I think I think I saw that an episode of Star Trek recently started watching some of that Star Trek deep space. No, I'm Alistair.
Starting point is 00:13:05 Can I tell you? Oh, you thought Enterprise was boring. Which one's Enterprise? Is that the main one? Oh, wait. Is that Captain Pro? Oh, no, yeah. Yeah, not Enterprise.
Starting point is 00:13:18 Next generation. Yeah. That's the one that I thought was boring. But apparently, Alistair has just been attacked by a bug, but apparently, enterprise is pretty bad as well. Anyway, now let's take a cold hard look at a cold hard stainless steel toilet bowl. It's one of those things that was invented for prisons.
Starting point is 00:13:42 It's definitely invented for prisons. OK, well, here's something. If it wasn't invented for prisons, Definitely invented for prisons, right? Okay, well here's something, then if it wasn't invented for prisons, here's some of the benefits. Sometimes you can communicate with people from floors below by just removing a lot of the water. This is what Indiana tells me from her women's prison show that she watches.
Starting point is 00:14:01 And you can also flush things down the toilet. Wait, but by removing a lot of the water and then what? And then just yelling down it and you can communicate with people. It's like the ball phone. Right, you shout through the pipes. Yeah, and then you can also get things to travel between rooms by sending this like bitter rope
Starting point is 00:14:22 with some like spoons and plastic forks attached to the end and you flush it down And then the other person also flushes there down and they get tangled together They get tangled and then you can pull the other thing that's the fucking best thing I've ever heard Yeah, I want to go to prison for that First day in prison, when do we get to do the rope thing? Yeah, first you got to collect rope from from every dinner that you get, you know? No, first you got to eat these special ingredients and then you can shit out some silk.
Starting point is 00:14:53 Alright, I'm back. I'm hijacked your sketch with my sketch. Nooooo! It's... Now I was going to say sketchception, but I feel bad about it. So I'm glad I did. Something we can write down Steel toilet. I mean stainless steel toilet and that it feels like there's something to it now. Yeah, well I don't know, Alistair.
Starting point is 00:15:14 Then what's the sketch though? Haven't we just described a thing that happens at Orchard's the new black? Well, I was in it. No, it wasn't in that one. This was in Indiana Watch's like a, I don't know, I've released that one. This was in Indiana watches like a, I don't know, I've released my wife's real name. Oh, we've all been making these kind of mistakes in season two. So look, what happens? It's somebody justifying stainless steel toilets, right? And they're explaining all the reasons
Starting point is 00:15:43 that they're gonna be good and better than porcelain toilets. Okay. And one thing is you could electrocute people through them. Isn't that crazy? Yeah. You can't get electrocuted through a normal porcelain toilet. That is crazy. You could you could lure somebody onto a steel stainless steel toilet and then you could give them a chair. You might be able to get an electrocuted Vira, a porcelain toilet if there was a solid stream of piss connecting you with the water in the thing. And are streams of piss, if you would look at it on a, through like a high-speed camera, is that stream entirely
Starting point is 00:16:27 connected or is that just an illusion of art? I think sometimes that stream is entirely connected. Yeah, but when there's laminar flow maybe. Yeah, when you got that laminar flow. Yeah. And that's when those Amazonian fish can swim up there, get in your dick hole. And they can get up there with the electricity. That's right. side by side.
Starting point is 00:16:46 Now, I remember Einstein once did a, I believe a thought experiment where he thought, if you were riding on one of those Amazonian fish, that's the... A long size of electricity. Yeah, yeah. What would the electricity look like? Here's an interesting thing about electricity, right? Electrons actually travel very slowly through an electrical wire, right? But the parameters of any electrical circuit
Starting point is 00:17:10 are established at the speed of light. How crazy is that? So like, well, one electron, any given electron, which is in the wire, near your light switch, right? You flick that switch, that electron, by the, it might take, I don't know how long, let's pick a time, 10 minutes for that individual electron to get all the way to the, um, the light globe.
Starting point is 00:17:31 Yeah. But the fact, the light comes on straight away because the wire is full of electrons, and like as soon as one electron tries to move, the repulsion pushes the other electrons, like shoving billion balls through a pipe, right? And so you get one, you put one electron in, you get one electron out straight away as if it was moving at the speed of light. Even though it's moving relatively speaking very slowly. Is it really take 10 minutes?
Starting point is 00:17:55 I can't remember. Dr. Cassley told me in your 12th, it's like drift speed or drift. What is that? But it's actually going, it's moving very fast. Yeah, but it's bouncing around. It's not traveling down the pipe all that fast in the direction you want.
Starting point is 00:18:12 Exactly, exactly. If there are any physicists listening, would you please let us know what the drift is called? It's something drift. It could be called just electron drift. I think it's probably just called electron drift, Elisabeth. Oh man, that's a band name or what? All right, George.
Starting point is 00:18:27 We don't do this very often, but we'll bring it back, George, it's a band name segment. Yeah, and that'll be a big part in fact, season two, it's gonna become a George's band name podcast and at the end, we'll recommend sketch ideas to us. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:44 You know, at one point I thought we should get George in here. He should just be sitting in the corner doing something. Can I give my example of what it would be like if George was in here? Yeah. Oh, hi, God. It's the most happy to be here. Hi.
Starting point is 00:18:59 Oh, shit. Oh, drop my pen. Hi. Oh, fuck. Oh, man. I'm pen. I all fuck all man. I'm lost. I And you know that's Andy's brother. It's up catty.
Starting point is 00:19:11 Yeah, in a perfect example. It's a catty. He's good though. All right. Okay, so now I'm going down all alien obitutes. Alien obitutes. Right. Justifications for stainless steel toilets.
Starting point is 00:19:21 I can't hear your confidence in this idea. One in 100 year. I'm like, oh shit. notifications for stainless steel toilets. I can hear your confidence in this idea. One in 100 year. I'm fine with my, or shit. And then, but then, okay, so now I've written down shitting salt, but I don't think that we have a sketch idea here yet. What?
Starting point is 00:19:34 Thank you. I don't mind you doing this madness, because I know that every single listener is absolutely on board with me. Sure indeed. So it's indeed. It's great. I have no... Do you seem insane? I have no problem with thinking that you're the more liked one.
Starting point is 00:19:52 You know, and that I, you know, like, people can come here for you, and I'm okay with that. But I'm definitely some of the color that helps people stay. I'm worried that you're going to win everyone over. Well with my underdog status. Every campaigner has to pretend to be the underdog. Yeah, no, it's bullshit. I hate it. I hate the underdog thing.
Starting point is 00:20:19 I mean, I don't have a problem with people being underdogs, but I hate people trying to claim to be the underdog See I was are you doing the underdog thing you kind of giving like really bad Arguments right now so that people go oh no actually Andy's the underdog Do you generally try to say worse things than me so that everybody thinks you're the underdog? I'm just I'm just being silly. All right, let's shitting silk. Look. So like, like, like, do you want to be like Spider-Man, right? But you can shoot silk from your butts, but you run off the top of a building and then you kind of run and then jump butt
Starting point is 00:20:59 first. But first you open your pants down as you jump and it shoots out to a building and sticks there and then you kind of swing from your ass so dangling Yeah, and what that's great about this is you still got all your hands free That's just like a spider so you could be looking at your phone Yeah, and you could be I guess looking at a second phone And your legs are free so maybe you could use those to reduce the horrible impact
Starting point is 00:21:30 Swing back into a glass building whatever All right, shitting silk is a sketch idea and it there's a few different ways this could go out of stand right say you are the person Who who finds a way to monetize this, right? You're now selling a dietary supplement, which allows you to shit silk. And people are going to want this in the home. Firstly, they're going to want silk. And then you can, you know, someone comes around and you say, I made you a vest. You say, Oh, that's beautiful. He's made for my own silk. See, that's a real, that's a real nice thing to be able to offer someone. Well, I mean, I guess we'll get to a point
Starting point is 00:22:09 where I guess you'll find a way to take the smell out of the silk. Yeah. I mean, not straight away. No. It's like my friend once brought home this like yak, but he was like in, he was in a country. And only one of those countries that's like India.
Starting point is 00:22:25 Mm. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I totally picture what you're talking about. Yeah, somebody had been in India, right? And he came home with this yak bone ring. Yak bone ring. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:38 Wow, that's great. I mean, those words could be a different language. Yeah. Su-thing hum. Yeah. Yak-thing-hum. Yeah. Yac-bon-ring. And then he's like, the only problem with the Yac-bon-ring is it smells a bit of Yac. And did it?
Starting point is 00:22:55 Did you sniff the Yac-bon? I don't remember smelling it, but I remember him being worried about it. And so this could be like that with the human silk. It is, in essence, just to, you know, it's fake, it's a poopy jacket. And so you're going to have to, you know, there's going to be processes that we're going to create. Sort of like the opposite of what the inside of the stomach is. You know, like, so we talk about the cloaca,
Starting point is 00:23:25 the piece of, not the, not the orifice. But the art installation. Yeah, not the official orifice of the two and the thing, tank podcast. But the official art installation, the two and thing, tank podcast of the same name, in which somebody has through, recreated through machinery, the internal...
Starting point is 00:23:45 The human digestive system. Human digestive system, the internal human digestive system. Yes, not the teeth. Well, the first bite is with the eye. That's right. And that's outside of the body, because you don't even bite it with your eye. No, I always imagine that the seeing
Starting point is 00:24:00 happens sort of somewhere halfway between the eye and the object that you're looking at. Well, I guess it's light. It's come. What does light go into your eye? Yeah, light goes into your eye. What are you going to say light is coming out of your eye? No, no, no, I would never say that. Because that was actually a working theory up until Newton. I think he was the one who put the end to that thing.
Starting point is 00:24:20 Like that we have like two. People used to think that corpuscles, they call them corpuscles, tiny little particles, shot out of the eye and sort of felt things, you know, like your fingers feel things and then brought the information back into your eye. They were thinking of radar. I don't know what they were thinking, it's a terrible theorem. Well, I mean, that's how radar works. You're right, it is how radar works. Yeah. But radar, you don't like, like, isn't dependent on whether or not you switch on the light, you know? No. Like, what were, what do they think was going on with that?
Starting point is 00:24:55 Well, yeah, that's. I mean, it feels like the easiest theory to do is prove. At the time, they were probably just, they just had, you know, lamps occasionally. True, they didn't have lights, just a chill. They didn't have lights, just a chill. Oh boy. Your arguments are falling apart very quickly. This underdog status that you're, you're, you're,
Starting point is 00:25:13 you're carefully cultivated. Cultivating is going to very quickly make you the most liked member of this podcast. Mm-hmm. What were we talking about? Um, well, you we talking about? Well, you were talking about the cloaccer in its capacity. Some sort of inverse one of those. An inverse version of that. But what it does is it cleans,
Starting point is 00:25:35 like if you were to put a turd in it, it would slowly clean it of any bacteria, and then eventually you'd have something edible. Right? Well, this, when it's with the silk one because you're making silk, it slowly decontaminates it until all that's left is just a pure silk.
Starting point is 00:25:51 Pure, beautiful, beautiful silk. But I don't even see, silk actually kind of seems cheap. You know how it's kind of shiny. It's shiny is cheap. Shiny is not that fancy these days. I saw I did see a I did see a thing a picture of a A cloak that had been made from From spiders silk
Starting point is 00:26:14 Been made from something like 1.2 Million spill the silk at 1.2 million spiders or something. I don't know how they got it but It looked really cool. And it didn't look shiny as well. It looked kind of like matte and like it had some weight to it. Do you think me they put satin in there and that's what kind of makes it look shiny? It's patented out with some satin. No, but that's like you know when you find silk that's shiny, do you think maybe it's because it's got satin in it to...
Starting point is 00:26:43 I don't even know what satin is really. isn't satin just kind of like artificial silk maybe I don't know didn't use to say your parents had satin sheets Yeah, yeah, they did they had gold satin sheet. No, maybe there was silk. What is satin? What is that you looking it up? I'm gonna look it up while you fill. I feel like maybe satin is not an artificial silk. I feel like satin is an old fiber, just like velvet or something like that. Well, satin is a weave that typically has a glossy surface
Starting point is 00:27:22 and a dull back. One of three fundamental types of textile weaves along with plain weave and twill. The satin weave is characterized by four more fill or weft yarns floating over a warp yarn. These are all four warp yarns floating over a single weft yarn. These are all which are some static over a single weft yarn. These are all words from Star Trek Twills
Starting point is 00:27:48 Weft warp warp warp. I should have started with warp that really would help my argument So it's more of a weave than it is And right so to style of weaving rather than is that any particular fiber Originally during the Middle Ages, Satan was made of silk. Hello. Consequently, it was very expensive. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:28:12 But during a lot of part of the Middle Ages, it was a major shipping part. The What part? Later part. Thank you. Oh, look, I'm not going to get any simple answers. Types of Satan. Oh, this is quality content, by the way.
Starting point is 00:28:28 I think we get it, Alistair. Shiny and one side dull on the other. The tar is satin made with a silk warp and a cotton weft. I'm like, we're wondering. Now that I have the word weft in my life, that feels good. That feels like one of the ones that I would have thought wasn't an occupied word space. I thought that was one of those single syllable words that didn't have been used. Then I'm just lying around on the ground. Like, gold nuggets, like a luvial gold.
Starting point is 00:28:58 I would have said weft is like, oh, well, we can call barnacles weft. That way we don't need to say barnacles anymore. Love my boat is covered in weft. Yeah, he's scraping off the weft. That's, yeah, it works for me. Yeah, let's move on. Okay, so we've done, we've done shitting salt, Spider-Man.
Starting point is 00:29:18 Yeah, it's locked in. Could be a thing here, no, I was gonna say, it could just be an alternative. I wonder if this is in the into the spiderverse. I wonder if they cover actual spider out the bum, man. You know? It's bound to be one. Oh, what about this?
Starting point is 00:29:35 And I'm sure this has been done as a comic premise. So bear with me while I tell you something very obvious. And before you tell me this thing, I want you to know that I heard a small interview with Brad Bird, where he was saying he doesn't have any new ideas and that's what's what's rare. You know, he might do another incredible movie, but there's not enough, you know, there's not enough new ideas and you know, superhero stuff to be, to make it worthwhile. So if you, if this idea is good, we can we go and straight to Brad. Take it to Brad. Okay.

Starting point is 00:30:49 Man Spider, right? And it's a spider, who basically has some of the powers of a man. Well, I think Spider-Man actually underwent some of that stuff. What do you mean? Like, my brother has a Spider-Man action figure where he's a big ugly spider.
Starting point is 00:31:05 Oh. Okay. Well, I wonder if actually maybe in a way, Charlotte's web was sort of a precursor to this, because she is a spider who has some of the powers of a man in that she can write. Which is probably one of our powers. One of like in terms of the things that separate us from other species if you were to get if some if say a A squid were to get bitten by a radioactive man Chances are the thing that the squid would wind up with would be the ability to write
Starting point is 00:31:37 Well if somebody because it's already got the ink Seems like a waste really doesn't it? It never uses the the point of its of itself To to write or anything. Which point? It's got, well, you know, that- Not the tentacles, the top of its head. Yeah. The arrow bit.
Starting point is 00:31:52 No, but it should. Right? And that would be good. Ha-ha-ha-ha. We could get it bitten by a spider, and it could shit out colorful ink, colorful, colorful, pre-colored silk. All right.
Starting point is 00:32:11 And you need to know we're both very tired. No, you didn't need to do that. Because it was just like, let you talk for too long by yourself. Yeah, you looked at me with dead eyes, Alastair. I was like, I was looking, I was looking in my my mind for just a new direction that we could go in. What didn't have to do with shit and ink and silk. Yeah, I mean, what's a Philistine? Philistine.
Starting point is 00:32:36 I think it's somebody who's almost deliberately ignorant. right? Okay. And you could you could try and show them the beauty of art, right? But they would they would reject it. What's other what's other uses for nipples, you think? Other uses for nipples? You know, like, like especially male nipples, which don't get to have enough use. Is there a sketch about male nipples? I think we might have come up with one once in the past. Of course, I've been through some nipples stuff myself recently. Of course there was that boil.
Starting point is 00:33:15 But what about something where we decide to take off all of men's nipples, and we put them into some communal thing for society? Here's the one thing that I think Nipples would be good for. Sometimes when you're filming something, you need to have a couple of, and you want to then map something into 3D space. And so that you can add CGI to it. You need marker points, fixed marker points on your surface. And I think the nipples basically look like they're there for that.
Starting point is 00:33:49 They're basically the balls that you see on a person in a green suit covered in tennis balls when they're doing some dragon scene for a dragon movie. For a dragon movie. Right. Roar of the skies. Yeah. Screech. Screech. Screech.
Starting point is 00:34:06 Screech. Maybe a good name for a dragon. Yeah, and it's like based on the guy from the, saved by the person who did made a porno. It's a dragon movie based on, you know, Screech from Save By The Bell and Lewis. Who that did a porno. Who that did a porno Who didn't did a porn?
Starting point is 00:34:25 Oh, yeah. And so, yeah, we're going on a different direction. A lot of dragon movies for kids. And this one's no different. We're going in a bit of a different direction. That's four kids. But four adults. If you know what I mean. No, no, but four adults. If you know what I mean.
Starting point is 00:34:47 No, no, I don't. And I don't care too frankly. There's something for adults in there, like a lot. For kids, it's four kids, it's marketed to kids. I still don't know what you mean, but I'm getting more and more uncomfortable. Like, it's a pretty dirty movie, but we're marketing it to kids. I was afraid that's what you were saying.
Starting point is 00:35:18 But there's dragons in it, so there's something for everybody. Sure. Like, you know, like sometimes, you know, well, always, it's, it's, you make a movie for kids and then you put in a little couple of things that the parents can enjoy. Exactly. Why is it going to be that way? Why cannot be an adult movie? And then like two thirds the way through one of the pigs is talking or something. You know, like, see? You know, it's like this big movie about this slaughterhouse where all these pigs are getting slaughtered, right? But you know for adults for adults at all to adults like you know, but then at one point the farm is favorite pig right before it
Starting point is 00:35:57 Get slaughtered you find out it can talk And it's got this cute big big puppy, big eyes, you know, and, uh, and it's a beautiful singing voice. And then that's and then the kids get a moment to stop screaming, you know, it's like our parents have a moment to not be bored in a film where somebody makes a little innuendo or something. Kids get a moment to not be bored in a film where somebody makes a little innuendo or something. Kids get a moment to not scream, you see? They love also a bit of slapstick. Okay, you can't get the kids interested unless there's some slapstick in there because talking
Starting point is 00:36:36 is just going to lose them. They're like, I'm not here for words. I'm here to see something that's funny. Somebody's got to bump their head. But I don't know. You've got to say, what is it then that my children are so obsessed with Thomas the Tank Engine because nothing happens in that show?
Starting point is 00:36:50 Well, they just, they get stuck in the mud. They're late for things. Yeah, but all the stuff. They do funny faces where their eyes spin around. All this stuff of being late for things, it's not something that's in my children's world, the idea of being late, where they got it, where they going, you know, what are they got it be at? They don't know how they
Starting point is 00:37:10 relate to any of this stuff. Anyway, what we're saying, men's, but men's nipples could be used, if you, you know, they're almost like God wanted us to CGI something onto men's chests. Right? He's put the markers there. I said, you know, he put those markers there and he's like, I'm gonna come back later and I'm gonna put something there. I'm just putting these dots in just to remind myself
Starting point is 00:37:37 to put something there later on. I've always hoped, you know, if that we could use the little holes that are at the ends. You know, like it always feels like there should be little holes? Yeah, but is there a kind of a tiny little pocket, little dimple? See, some people do.
Starting point is 00:37:49 I feel like there is, but I don't know. I think maybe you might have a puckered dimple. Maybe I do. I think I might have a puckered dimple. Yeah, and I think maybe that's where I get my inspiration for this idea. To my dimple. From the puckered dimple of your nipple,
Starting point is 00:38:00 at the tip, at the very tip. Yeah, right. Of the mammalan, which is. Which you guess so far as to call the pocket dimple in my nipple? Your muse? Yeah, it is absolutely my pink muse. Do you have pink nipples?
Starting point is 00:38:14 Would you say they're kind of purple? I'd call them pink. Yeah. There's no way to argue around. Are there purple nipples out there? I'm sure there are purple nipples. Yes, so people just have purple nipples, right? Yeah, nipples.
Starting point is 00:38:26 But are they all pink? I don't think they can all be pink. Okay, so this is what I think, this is based on your nipples. And if there was a little hole there, be cool if you could just, like a cork board, just push little things that can be held there.
Starting point is 00:38:43 That just have like a little thin, you know, like a little thin sticky outy thing that you could just push that in and then just keep it there. It could be, you know, like the, you know, like you could anchor a chain there to keep your wallet or you could, you know, just put like, it feels like it should be a fixing point.
Starting point is 00:39:03 Fixing point, like, you know, your past, why wear a lanyard on your neck where everybody makes you look like a show off? You know what I would do if I could genetically engineer human beings? I'd make those nipples kind of like furry, like a half a velcro, right? And then you could just, then you got two little velcro tabs on your chest and you can attach anything on there. I could keep like a little pack with a teaspoon, a fork, and a knife. Exactly. And then a regular soups. And you just, they just dangle in between, in the middle of your chest,
Starting point is 00:39:33 and you'd have those two anchor points, which would make it sort of more reliable in case, you know, you're the fluff on your nipple, starts getting, you know, a little all gummed up with, yeah, lint and stuff like that. Yeah, it that doesn't quite well I that's why I deliberately went for the fluffy side not the scratchy side of the Velcro because I feel like the scratchy side accumulates a lot more stuff Also scratchy nipples doesn't seem like something that would be popular Tantzel but very nipples everybody's gonna be on board with soft furry nipples We have that kind of like rabbit hair. Oh yeah, like that, and you could style it into a point or into a mustache or something.
Starting point is 00:40:09 I guess a point if you're a lady, and a mustache if you're a guy. Thank you. Girls like points, guys like moustaches. I'm just gonna go back one more time to my marker points for CGR in the nipples. I mean, I think that what it is going to be great is that like it's good. I think that'll work really well for sort of an augmented
Starting point is 00:40:31 reality future. Right. Where everybody's just sees the world through virtual reality goggles that sort of add things into what you're seeing. Right, well, constantly we just have the Google cardboard of the future, Oculus Rift, whatever. Google cardboard. Yeah, Oculus cardboard in front of your eyes at all times, right? And then it adds things on, but then when you got the men's nipples there, you're able to use them as a fixed point. You can add anything you want on there. Yeah. Into the men's chest. Yeah. I'm gonna have some boobies. Into the men's chest boobies.
Starting point is 00:41:07 Yeah. You know? But do they have a point or a mustache on them? Yeah, I got a mustache because the mustache is a for me. So, and do you see this as a sketch? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I guess it's like, it's more of an like an augmented reality
Starting point is 00:41:25 Hmm, hmm, touch sketch. Yeah, yeah, like you know What but you can and then but it's like an augmented reality where The only place where you're augmenting reality is on to people's nipple area Yeah, well, I think if this is this is the motivation of whoever it is who's invented this augmented reality And everybody's I guess like I, all the guys are shirtless. It's a bit of a hell in a way. What about this? It's almost like a matrix type situation.
Starting point is 00:41:52 Nobody realises that they're in this augmented reality. Everybody's going around just accepting that whatever it is, that men have moustaches on their nipples. I don't realize that these things over their eyes that are making them see this fake world. Then someone comes into this world and they're like, you're crazy, that's not real. I know that's not real.
Starting point is 00:42:13 Then people start, they try, they sort of slowly awaken, they realize that maybe they rip off their augmented reality or something. I'm not sure how this situation has come to a rise. Maybe we have been enslaved by machines. Maybe somebody, this guy, or lady who's invented this, what they do if they set up a trip wire, like near between a phone booth and like a pole and attach it on the wire. Yeah, on the wall.
Starting point is 00:42:43 This is the level of detail that I needed to really buy into this scenario. So thank you. What they do is they put a bunch of those cardboard things just on the ground, right? Yeah. And so that when people trip over and they fall, it lands on their face. Yeah, and then they stand up.
Starting point is 00:42:59 And they stand out and suddenly they're in that world. They're in the new world, but it doesn't look that different. You know, it's not until later, they start to... If it's a computer program, you can change it slow enough, so that people don't even really notice so that the brain accepts it. If you change things too quickly, the brain will reject it, I think. Yep. And I like that.
Starting point is 00:43:20 And... It's like a frog in being boiled in a pot. Yeah, or it's like a frog in being boiled in a pot. Yeah, or it's like a frog getting tripped over via a trip wire between a phone booth. And I was wondering if it's possible to trip a frog. Yeah. Oh, and they're leaping and then we made air. You can trip it mid air.
Starting point is 00:43:36 I don't know if that's the right answer. You can intercept it. Sure, you can intercept it. I've never said you couldn't intercept a frog. I mean, you could have a sort of a very short dog fight with a frog. Mid air. Yeah, mid air dog fight.
Starting point is 00:43:48 Frog fight. Why do they call dog fights when it's like through the year? I'm glad you came to me with this question. I figure they just regarded as being a sort of a one-on-one, vicious, scrappy sort of battle that follows some of the dynamics of a traditional fight between two canines. Answer me this. Yes. How often do you think about hollowing out a giant teddy bear and wearing it as a suit?
Starting point is 00:44:28 You know, we're almost never, Alison. Really? But then I did spend a big chunk of, well, you know, not a big chunk, but a reasonable chunk of time dressed as a giant rabbit in a big furry rabbit costume, which is very close. I've definitely experienced closer to this than I have. Yeah. But it didn't have any hold over me. Yeah, but it wasn't like it didn't used to be a teddy bear
Starting point is 00:44:51 that was the, they pulled all the plush out of it and then you turned it into a suit. How about you, you think about that ever? I think about a lot. Really? Do you think you might be a furry? No, no, no, I don't care about living as the rabbit or as the bunny, sorry, got a case. It care about living as the rabbit or the bunny.
Starting point is 00:45:05 I'm sorry. It's the teddy bear. It's the teddy bear. I just see a giant teddy bear and I go, you could make that into a teddy bear suit. It would be fun to chase your kids around and give them like cuddles and stuff. That's a big teddy. And for people not to know who you are Sure And then you could do anything you want You know when you're anonymous yeah, you can do
Starting point is 00:45:35 Whatever you want this guy came in big bear costume Right we didn't think anything of it at the time he bought three tubs Of bath bombs. And then, and he walked out. And he walked out and he, I wouldn't don't think it. Look, I don't know what I would do. There'd be something, it'd be something in the bath. There'd be a bath base. A coach or a monk type of situation.
Starting point is 00:46:03 Now, I think I believe we have five these are down. Yeah well I mean there's five little lines there. Do you think do you think they're enough? I think they're enough Elastair. I think we got it. We got to push on and get these words from the listener, the Patreon support to you mean Adam Trageer. Adam. Adam Trageer. Is that what you're talking about? Adam Trageer is here. Words from Adam Tregier? Yes. Patreon supporter Adam Tregier, who sent us three words, Jim Guts and ads.
Starting point is 00:46:30 Jim Guts ads. Yeah. Jim Guts ads. Yeah, right. This is from Adam Tregier. Thank you, Adam Tregier. Thanks very much, Adam, for supporting us on Patreon and sending us the words Jim Guts ads.
Starting point is 00:46:44 It makes me think of Jim's mowing obviously. Jim's mowing is an Australian company where it's a go with a big beard. Famous franchise franchise. Yeah, but then he's since expanded into all sorts of things. So there's Jim's painting and Jim's pressure washing and Jimms. Bookkeeping. Gyms, bookkeeping is always the one where I feel like, come on, gyms, stay in your lane. Like, eat dog washing. But yeah, but gym, gym to me, I'm like, I'm willing to accept the leap from
Starting point is 00:47:14 your own going to power washing and to dog washing even. But to then, to then to let gym get his hands on my books, I feel like, no, you're a guy who does stuff. Are you and your team of people who do stuff with machinery that goes, but like a Jim's gut health. Jim's. Well, I mean, it's just Flora, isn't it? It's just a garden.
Starting point is 00:47:42 Really, the gut is a garden, right? And you just, you just need to fertilize it in the right way. just flora, isn't it? It's just a guard, and really the gut is a guard, right? And you just need to fertilize it in the right way. You just need to provide it with whatever. I wonder if actually, how do you think the gut would respond to a light. If we could swallow a light, right? And you just have some little battery powered light
Starting point is 00:48:03 in there, and you stomach. And now we can get a bit of photosynthesis happening. Flourish, some little battery-powered light in there and your stomach, right? And now we can get a bit of photosynthesis happening. You know, flourish and get some chlorophyll in there. Yeah, yeah. Finally. Because you know, bio is brown. That's a hideous color. Do you think that if you could swallow a light, right, a powerful enough light, and you could, powerful enough light and you could, we could breed a bacteria, some sort of bio-photosynthetic bacteria that could live in your gut. The light could power this bacteria, the bacteria could grow and we could basically subsist without
Starting point is 00:48:42 having to eat anything. It's genetically engineered bacteria, I'm not used to. So it produces a lot of itself, and then it dies very quickly. Did I tell you that there was a company recently that said that they were creating a new type of food, and it was just a bacteria-based thing, that they dry out and make into a meal, like a meal, like an almond meal, kind of meal. And that they say it's the first new type of food that isn't based on plants or water.
Starting point is 00:49:09 Did they genetically engineer it? I think they might have. They're so glad. But then your next level, though. So you just grow inside you. But then what would you eat to feed it? You don't have to eat anything to feed it because it's powered by the light.
Starting point is 00:49:24 It's photosynthesis, baby. So it creates it doesn't need air or like... Oh, maybe it needs a bit. No, or it uses carbon dioxide and produce, I mean you'd burp a lot. Yeah, because there's gas exchange. And that wouldn't ruin your life in any way, would it? No, I think you don't have to eat. You know, you don't have to eat. You're the guy who doesn't have to eat. I mean, that's cool. Not only do I don't have to eat, I don't know, not only am I not putting things in my mouth,
Starting point is 00:49:52 I'm burping loads. I think things are coming out. So it's actually so easy for me. Well, maybe you could be producing oxygen. How good is that? Then we seal off. This is so good. We seal off the breathing hole.
Starting point is 00:50:08 We plug the gut straight into the lungs. That's a great idea. Right. And then the waste products of the plants, they fall down the, down the duodenum, down into the digestive system. Just open it up, let them fall down the, your back. No, we need them to, we eat them. Okay.
Starting point is 00:50:24 That's what gives us the energy to survive. Right. The only thing, the only problem I can see is what kind of a battery are we putting on this light whereby there's basically enough energy to keep this gut going indefinitely. It's got to be some kind of little nuclear thing, I suspect. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A tiny sun, really. Yeah, I guess maybe nuclear fusion?
Starting point is 00:50:44 I hope it's fusion. I thought I saw, I saw an article today and said we could have it by 2025. Fuck, we're gonna need that. Yeah, we need that. Honestly, it can't come soon enough. We gotta get those, this is what we gotta do. And I said we gotta get the nuclear fusion going.
Starting point is 00:50:58 And then we just gotta start stripping carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere like nobody's business. The only way we can really do that efficiently through financially is just trees. Not when we get nuclear fusion. No. I don't know how I'm going to work, but bloody hell. We're going to be ripping those molecules apart. But they said recently if you want to just even set up regular nuclear fusion, it'll still
Starting point is 00:51:20 take like 40 years to kind of get it going or something. Yeah, but nuclear fusion is very different, right? Nuclear fusion is a self-limiting reaction, right? In that you can design it in such a way that it's not possible for it to have a meltdown. I don't know, we should design it that way then. Yeah. Because it requires a certain amount of energy to keep it at this intense conditions that you need for fusion to take place.
Starting point is 00:51:52 And as soon as it stops, like the containment field or whatever that keeps it in those conditions, it just falls apart. It just falls apart. I suspect. I hope. Let's go, God. Because we're going to need to start stripping those molecules. Anyway, what do you think of my redesign the gut and the respiratory system? part, I suspect, I hope. Let's go, God. Because we're going to need to start stripping those molecules.
Starting point is 00:52:05 Anyway, what do you think of my redesign the gut and the respiratory system? Jim. Jim does this as well. He comes around, he's got a trailer, right? And he does it. He's basically using all the skills that he learned in gardening and in electrical stuff.
Starting point is 00:52:21 I assume he does electrical stuff. Maybe a little bit of the power washing comes in. Not much of the power washing comes in, not much of the bookkeeping, but I still trust him because the gut is basically a garden. It's just plants. Yeah, and I mean, like, you could show you, like, okay, so they come into your house
Starting point is 00:52:35 and they have this little, it looks like a little fishing rod, right? And on the end of the fishing rod, there's like, like, like, like one of those little, you know, like a well bucket, you know, like a bucket used to lower into a well. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:47 Like that, and he goes, open your mouth. And then he goes swallow this, and he goes, can feel weird, but just swallow this. And then you start swimming, and you can hear as it's going down your throat, the little fishing rod's going, well, what's that?
Starting point is 00:53:00 And you're setting it down, and then he goes, and then he, at one point, he goes, and you hear it stop, and you go,, and then he at one point he goes, and he here it stopped, and you go, we've hit the bottom, we're now in the stomach. Yeah. But then he goes, okay, now just relax, and then he starts to reel it back in. And then he pulls up the bucket, and it's full of like bile, and what's in your gut, and then he pours it into a little petri dish, but it's a high speed petri dish, right?
Starting point is 00:53:24 Yeah. And then he goes, and you watch it blossom. And then he pours it into a little Petri dish, but it's a high speed Petri dish, right? And you watch it and you watch it blossom. And then he starts naming things. And you don't know what they are really, because you don't understand anything about gut bacteria, but you're really impressed, and the colors are very impressive. Yeah, and it sounds like he knows what he's talking about. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:53:40 And he goes, now, these are great, but with what this here, and then he like pours some of it on there, and he goes, now watch these are great, but with what this here, and then he like pours some of it on there and he goes, now watch how it really flourishes. And this is the new bacteria that is both self-feeding, but then it also feeds on the other ones. And he goes, this is like, you know, the empire and Star Wars, you know, the way that it unifies everybody
Starting point is 00:54:02 and brings them together, but also lifts them up, you know, that's what this does. You know, this is how he sells it with a good Empire from Star Wars, metaphor. You're like Star Wars, right? Yeah. Not enough to know that the Empire is the bad guys, right? That's the bad guys, yeah, that's the bad guys. But he, you know, he's... But still they made things work. I mean, it's like the EU. It's basically the EU.
Starting point is 00:54:25 Sure. And the rebels, like Luke Skywalker, they're like Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage. You know, the people are trying to bust it up. Yeah. You should know that season two we're gonna be a pretty, pretty, pretty pro Brexit podcast.
Starting point is 00:54:42 Yeah, we're gonna... We're really gonna turn things around. We're gonna nail our colors to the flag, to the bust on that one. Yeah, but I think it's that idea that, you know, what's the name? Luke Skywalker's an extremist. Hmm, yeah, I guess so.
Starting point is 00:54:56 But I mean, the Empire did seem pretty extreme as well. That guy shouldn't have electricity out of his hands. You know, that's pretty extreme. Yeah, I know, but you see that guy attached to a battery. Yeah. And then you see, you can see the good that he does. You're just seeing him in a bad mood. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:55:11 God. Imagine killing somebody who can create electricity with his fingers. You don't need, you don't need frickin' whatever that power we were talking about before it was. Anyway, if we got, if we've written down gut, gut, gut bacteria, it self-sustains you.
Starting point is 00:55:27 Adam Tragea, I hope that's what you had in mind. It's probably. Probably exactly what you were picturing. And take us through the sketches that we've come up with today, Alistair. Well, alien. We should have mentioned, by the way, that we're doing magma. We're doing magma. We're doing three more episodes of magma, the show,
Starting point is 00:55:44 the Melbourne, that we did at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. We're doing the Butterfly Club in Melbourne. We're doing Magma. We're doing three more episodes of Magma. They'll show the Melbourne, the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. We're doing the Butterfly Club in Melbourne. We're doing them this week. August 1st, 2nd and 3rd at 7pm at the Butterfly Club in Melbourne. The year is 2019. Yes, and we need people to come. We'd love that. It would be so good by tickets immediately. If you hear this today on Tuesday, this is the last day that
Starting point is 00:56:07 the tickets are at their cheapest. Is it? Oh, I thought it went until Thursday. Just until Tuesday. Far out. Well, buy the tickets now. You can get early bird tickets. Yeah. All right. Sketch ideas. Aliens arrive and they can give a subjective arbitration of our disagreements like which is the best god, Pepsi or Coke. Scrantral foils. Scrantral foils. All this stuff. Cross your legs or bend your knees. Yeah, that old one.
Starting point is 00:56:41 Justifications for stainless steel toilets. This guy is just arguing that he's the architect of the stainless steel toilet. He's arguing why there's so much better. He shows that he's managed to convince prisons to do it. And he can see why, you know, look, they're clearly better. They can handle a one in 100 year shit, which none of these porcelain things can.
Starting point is 00:57:07 And what about people come to your house who aren't familiar with our style of toilet. They used to squat toilets and they do that thing where they stand. They climb on it. And then the pressure from their legs pushing outwards. Cracks the toilet. And two. That will happen. God imagine then you fall down on the broken porcelain. Porcelain with your exposed genitals.
Starting point is 00:57:31 Oh God, I hope that's never happened to anyone ever. And you're like, and you're not in a good state either. And you genitals are not in a good state. And you're in a new country. And you don't even understand basic things about that country like how to use the toilets and you and you and you and you don't know how the medical system works You're up for a whole lot of trouble. I hope you've got travel insurance. They give you a hospital bed and you stand on it Yeah, oh no it falls apart. Yeah Then we got shitting Silk, which is...
Starting point is 00:58:08 I think we spent a long time chasing sketch ideas that neither of us really wanted. I absolutely want Shitting Silk. I think neither is a strong word. Yeah. I can't believe your resistance to that. Anyway, we don't need to talk about it anymore. Shitting Silk is a great idea. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:58:25 And I want to go on the record that I think that stainless steel toilet still needs to work. Stainless steel toilet is the only thing on this thing today, which is strong. It's long. It's strong. Oh. Shitting silk is a spider-man. I just put, you know, picture Spider-Man swinging from his derriere.
Starting point is 00:58:46 Mm. Oh, but I just, I think for me, picturing the tug from within the bowel. Mm. That's gonna be a new experience. Yeah, because I think that's, I don't know if the tissue in there's just- She's built to carry the weight,
Starting point is 00:59:02 traveling at vast speeds and accelerations. Accelerations are fired, the decelerations are what get you. It's like the change in directions and it's that bouncing. You're right. I had this through. Oh boy. Then we got movies for adults with a little something for kids, you know So I movies for adults, but they're marketed to kids. I think it's a I think it's a it's a great new direction
Starting point is 00:59:33 There's a few things in there for the kiddies Just to just to give you a break from their unmitigated horror. I mean you could just be action films, you know explosions murder You know breaking people's necks and bones and things like that. But, chimp wounds. Yeah, a little worm with big eyes. So it's big eyes.
Starting point is 00:59:54 So it's big eyes, kids love a big eye. Keeps bumping its head, keeps thinking it's dirt, but it's actually a desk. And so it keeps trying to like, oh, I'm trying to drill in or eat it. Whatever, what worms have worms travel. Drilling or eating? They wouldn't draw a line between the two. That's a great thing about being a worm. Yeah, they don't drill. You don't have to choose. Then we got the nipple-based augmented reality world where somebody invented a new
Starting point is 01:00:23 type of world where they, there's two nipples, they act as the thing, it's a place where you, where you could mount. The mapping points. The mapping points. And then people are, what are they putting on them? Anything they want. Anything.
Starting point is 01:00:36 That's the great thing. There's endless possibilities. Think, what's something that, what's name one thing that you want? Peace on Earth. Well, you could project that on people's chests. I was feeling like there's... Peace on Earth was exactly the one thing I was trying not to say
Starting point is 01:00:54 and I couldn't think of anything else. I guess it's just because I want it so much. Yeah, and then we got gut bacteria that self-sustains you. So the last time you ever have to eat, is that one capsule? And then a light. And then a little nuclear powered light. And then, and then it's just burping from that on. From that on, no more eating. You just burp. You still burp and you still burp, like you burp way more than you used to. Yeah. A ton more to the point where it ruins your life.
Starting point is 01:01:22 But you don't have the burden of enjoying food. you don't have the burden of enjoying food. You don't have the burden of enjoying food. You only have the enjoyment of being disgusting in front of people. Yes, this all checks out. So like that first episode of Rick and Morty, where Rick, is it Rick? Burping way too much.
Starting point is 01:01:41 Burping too much, and nobody can handle it. Yeah, I really, I started watching episode so I can't watch this ever again. And then I came back and watched them more and then watched heaps of it. And I like it. But they really, they really alienated a lot of people I reckon with all that burping. It's tough. It's tough time.
