What a joy it is to be with you today.
Yes.
Alistair received a comical wedgie on his way into a comical grade, a cartoon grade wedgie.
Well, you know when you breathe in helium and it makes your voice higher.
Yes, yes.
I can't wait to try that. And communicate with bees. Oh, how lovely
would that be? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know how lovely that would be. To communicate
with bees? Yeah. Well, what do you see us the downsides? Well, as we discussed on an earlier episode, the possibility that they
would be, they might just be screaming the whole time. That might have been a bonus episode,
so you might have missed out on that one. What are they screaming about? We talked about
how you could communicate with all animals and what if it was like, what would be like,
if they were all just screaming constantly, right? That's what we find out there, that's
all they're saying. I feel like if anyone was likely to be screaming, it'd probably be bees.
Why? Because they're dying now. Well, they're dying. They're not aware of it. That's true.
You know, they're not holding that in their heads. They're not, you know, they don't feel like you were I.
They got no perspective on this whole situation. I mean, they're great. They trust me. They're great. Oh, yeah.
We'll be sad when they're gone.
Right.
But then we'll...
I'm sad now and they're not even going.
We'll invent something that's got like one wheel, right?
Yeah.
They can balance on that wheel, right?
And then it's got a little...
The wheel can balance on the wheel?
No.
Okay, sure.
The wheel can balance on a wheel, right?
And it drives around, it's got a long arm,
and it like seeks.
It's like a Segway that can drive a Segway.
It's exactly, right?
And in fact, they should get on that,
because I don't know what the application yet, yes.
Are you saying a Segway that can drive a Segway riding a Segway?
I am now.
Look, I'm interested in this. What happens if you put a hoverboard on a hoverboard?
Because you just get a hoverboard. Right, one of those two wheeled guys. I know they're
old technology now because everyone's about the ones where you just have a loose foot
under each, a loose wheel under each foot. That's the new thing. Is it? Yeah, yeah.
Just a loose wheel. It's just
like it's a wheel. It's, but they're not connected together. Yeah. So you stand on a single wheel on
one foot, single wheel on another foot. Yeah. And then you sort of, how does it like not slow down
because of the, the rubber of your shoe rubbing on the wheel? There's a little platform or whatever.
Yeah. No, it's much like once we get into it. It's a sort of loose wheel. Oh. Yeah. No, it's much, at least once we get into it.
It's a sort of loose wheel.
It's kind of a wheel on an axis.
That's where the platform is.
Yeah, is it like a tiny little single, two, two
unicycles, right?
Under each foot.
Yeah.
What the fuck?
Anyway, I think that the, what happens if you put a hoverboard
or a hoverboard?
That's something that I want to know, right? Yeah. And then I want to know what happens if you put another hoverboard on a hoverboard? That's something that I want to know, right?
Yeah.
And then I want to know what happens if you put another one on top of that.
Look, how about this?
Yes.
I mean, those are all good questions.
Thanks.
Have we done this where it's just like, you know, like a bit of clothing?
And you know how there's that clothing that I've mostly seen ladies wear?
But it's like, it's like teddy bear material.
You know?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, well this is the teddy coat was the big thing.
Teddy coat was the big thing, right?
Well think about that with pants as well.
Okay, so you just look like a teddy?
So you just dressed up, it's just was,
yeah, you look a bit like a teddy.
Okay.
Sure, but you're still a human.
You don't lose your, you're humanity.
And you can suck lad, you don't lose your humanity.
And you put it on, and then you can just let yourself fall.
And all those little strands that are on it,
they're all like little arms and legs.
Little legs.
They can absorb your falling, and then then you lay down and then all the legs
carry you to where you want to go.
Like ants stealing a picnic in a Flintstones cartoon.
Exactly.
Alistair.
I love this so much.
It's the way we were made to travel.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, you almost become like one of those amoebas, right, that are covered in
like, silla, silla, silla, something almost become like one of those amoebas, right? That are covered in like,
Silla? Silla, Silla, something or other like that. Yeah.
And they're just tiny little hairs that they use to get around, right? Yeah, it's unclear.
No, no, they don't have to be very strong because none of the hairs is carrying all that much.
Yeah.
Right. But God, it'll, it'll look so good.
Now, I'm not sure about your idea where you can just fall flat down on the ground.
I know what a dream it would be.
That's my dream for comedy.
Obviously.
Obviously.
Obviously.
Obviously.
Obviously.
Obviously.
Obviously.
Obviously.
Obviously.
Obviously.
Obviously.
Obviously.
Obviously.
Obviously.
Obviously. Obviously. Obviously. Obviously. Obviously. Obviously. Obviously. like falling into a tumble, I just want from straight 90 degree fall.
So like basically what happens when somebody gets king hit, they fall down,
they hit the curb and they die, that, but comedy. Yeah, I just need something to
protect my neck. It's, it's the, it's the old, it's the pie in the face
routine, right? But the earth is the pie. Yeah. And there's no pie. And there's no
pie and, and your whole back is your face. And there's no routine. Yeah. And there's no pie. And there's no pie and...
And your whole back is your face.
And there's no routine.
Yeah.
It's you do it once and then we'll see what happens.
But that's your opener.
Once is, you don't know, yeah, it's my opener
and then the rest is...
The body, your body's like a plank.
Yeah.
I think even if you had little hairs all over your outfit
that could catch you, right,
and arrest your fall, you're not in any way dealing with the head, your head, and the
whip lash, right?
Yeah.
That there's going to be, because there's still like, your body's going to decelerate
over such a short distance, like the length of one of those hairs, that your neck is still
going to have to deal with like a huge flicking force,
and I think that your head will still hit the ground.
Right now, how are you protecting the head?
I was hoping that I could get my calf muscles strong enough
that they could really control it just through flexing.
You know, once I get to that point where my calves are touching the ground,
I feel like they could be me slow.
If you're falling like a plank, the point at which your calves are touching the ground is
the point at which your head is touching the ground, unless you've got some insane calves.
That's what I'm thinking.
I'm thinking about having some insane calves.
Okay, well then that might almost distract people from this hole.
I'm going to call it a routine, even though there's no routine.
I'm only going to do it once.
I'm not going to do it once.
No point is this going to become run of the bill for anybody.
Right?
But you're going to come on the stage.
People are going to all are going to be
thinking about it's these curves, which stick out way
beyond your ass.
Maybe I'll need to wear flares.
I think the ass is an overlooked component.
The ass could save it, right?
The ass could absolutely save it.
Although the ass being in the middle becomes a pivot point.
Right, it's true, yeah.
And you're gonna see saw on that ass.
That's true.
Really, if there were any part of the human body
that we could get rid of and replace with a wheel,
or two wheels, I think it was the human ass. We get rid of and replace with a wheel or two wheels. I think it was
video. We get rid of the human ass or even we just...
What you're about to say is exactly what I was thinking. Can I just try and get it?
I'll say you've finished my thought. Okay. You slice into each ass and essentially create
a wheel bay. Each ass. Yes. Officially on the podcast, the human arse is made up of two arse.
Yeah, that's right.
It's like the hemispheres of the brain.
Each hemisphere is its own brain.
Yeah, the lips of the mouth, two lips.
The arse is made of two arse.
That's right.
And then in the center, there's the ass hole,
which rules them all.
The one ring.
The one ring that rules the two ares. Which you're like two towers,
two mountains. Yeah, if you... The two towers of Mount Doom. I mean, we're offending everyone here.
You know, the two towers of Mount Doom. All right, so you slice down the middle of each, or you carve a channel really,
or a trough in the middle of each cheek, right?
And that becomes a wheel bay, right?
For the axle sort of goes through,
sort of at each side of the wheel into the arms cheek, right?
And now you wanna drive around the town,
you sit down on your ass, right?
You pull your legs up and that it balances you like a
That's a segue technology and you just scoot around on your ass
Yeah, and it uses the ass fat as lubricant for the wheel bay not just lubricant fuel and fuel
Never run out of fuel as long as you're eating loads of stuff that would make your ass fat
Well, this is a good reason to have an ass that won't quit, right?
That's right.
And this is bringing in, this is the next evolution
of whatever the technology was that we were using to get a,
you know, you got a, you got a leg, you got, you got a lamp.
We were drilling a hole into the leg,
sticking a wick in there and using the oil to power a lamp, right?
Now we're, we've taken this to the next level, we're refining that oil and using it oil to power a lamp. Now we've taken this to the next level,
we're refining that oil
and using it to power some kind of internal combustion engine
type thing that sits within the wheel.
Yeah.
That's inside each arse cheek and we're driving around.
Oh yeah.
And then you can just kind of work.
So well, it doesn't have to even stick out
that far past the curvature of the butt.
I like that.
It's only like got it like an inch of protrusion,
even less maybe.
You know who's gonna love this?
People in wheelchairs.
Because now suddenly you're saving $30,000, $40,000
on a chair.
Yeah.
Right.
And now what you gotta pay for is the surgery.
And you have to, but you'll converge. For them the surgery. And the ass. But they're fuel conversion.
For them, it's gonna be the best
because they will,
pretend some of them at least,
won't be able to feel all the pain
of, of, instead of riding on the bumpy ground
with your ass so close to the ground.
I feel like the, the will,
there's also gonna be,
there's gonna be some changes to the physiology of the ass. Right, there's gonna going to be some changes to the physiology of the arse.
There's going to have to be.
I don't know whether the arse itself becomes rubberized
in some way so that we solidify the arse,
it becomes more kind of like a rubber.
But then you see, and that's the true every technology
has trade-offs.
It suddenly ass loses it's,
one of its main properties, it's grab,
it's grabiness, like it's grabableness.
Grabability.
Grabability.
Yeah.
So you get a lower grabability,
but you have a stronger sort of harder, shassy,
on which to carry the rest of the body around.
And then you'll be able to sell people food,
let's say regular junk food,
as high performance fuel.
Mmm, this is very exciting.
And the body becomes its own refinery, right?
And there's an incentive to eat as much fat as you can.
Sure, I just have a glass of olive oil.
Yeah. That'll be that's the Mediterranean diet version of it. You pull up to the pump,
right? They've got the regular unleaded. They've got the E10 and then they just got olive oil.
Exactly. I'm coming out one of those squares. You stick that in your gob.
You load up for the rest of the trip down the freeway.
You should be allowed to go on the freeway for the rest of the trip down the freeway.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, and you should be allowed to go on the freeway.
Of course you can go on the freeway.
You are on there next to the big trucks.
By the way, I think this would be quite safe, because the way you'll be riding in my mind,
your legs are out in front of you.
Right?
So if there's anything you're going to crash into, you would just absorb that with the legs
up like sort of up there.
And a lot of the time, any little real trouble, you'll sort of like roll into a stand.
You roll?
You know, you put your feet down, it just kind of lifts you up.
We can probably even put that feature in there, a little bounce.
Any resistance causes a butt bounce.
So say you're coming straight at a brick wall, right?
Now you bounce up into a standing position, you take that full
in the face. Well, like a man. Well, your legs come up and then you run up the wall,
do that back flip. Oh, man, this is so good. I mean, if anybody's listening, who's
working biotechnology and knows someone at the segway, someone in the segway
tech field.
But I mean, if they're manufacturing all these things everywhere, it seems like it's
like the easiest thing to do is to make a platform that balances.
Sure.
Sure.
So, and so if that's so easy, the fact that that is so easy is going to offset some of
the difficulty of carving it into the ass and putting a, um, an ass refinery.
Yeah, and you'll often have to eat a whole bunch to get your ask, you know, relatively
plump in order right before you solidify it.
You know, and then you get to decide how big you want that ass before any, and that's
like, you know, trying it out.
You just, you sit on it, you kind of go,
ooh, is this how high off the ground I wanna be?
Cause I'll be spending a lot of time down here,
this is a minute you're walking.
You can even get your legs cut off if you want.
I don't think you wanna get your legs cut off,
because I think that the legs form
a significant portion of the balance component to this.
No, the machine's doing it.
It's all in the CPU.
But I still think, I still think like structurally speaking you want
you want the legs to be out the front so that the curve of the butt yeah right has still got to be in contact with the ground
so if the you know even if you cut your legs off for that butt to be resting on the ground or just above it because of the wheels
you're going to have to be resting on the ground or just above it because of the wheels, you're gonna have to be leaning back.
Right?
And then I don't think there's anything
that the wheels can do to fix that.
Unless you're traveling backwards at all times.
Unless you're okay at a pretty high speed.
At a high speed.
At a high speed.
Or you know what, I'll stay, you probably were out.
I didn't think this was gonna work,
but yeah, I'm totally on board now.
What have you called this? At the moment, I've just called it ass wheels. yeah, I'm totally on board now. What have you called this?
At the moment, I've just called it ass wheels.
Yeah, I love it.
Yeah.
And then we also have Teddy.
I'm gonna ride your ass.
Yeah.
And that's when you give somebody your dingham.
Yeah.
So you get on your shoulders.
I just saw, what if you cut off,
what if everybody cut off their legs
and we just bring the tables down?
Okay, you know, are we still is this still in the arms? It doesn't even have to be in there. Everybody cuts it. This is just in a
in a legless like think about it. Okay, let's say we just cut everything off at the knees. Okay, right?
We put a little wiggle legs. Yeah, you still got little wiggle legs, but we can get rid of adult tables
Everything is gonna be kitty table from that one.
Okay.
This is one of those things.
Like this is sort of like,
you know, that, that move with Matt Damon,
downsizing, right?
But they shrink everyone.
Yeah.
Because you use less resources.
Yeah.
It's a great idea, I should watch that.
It is a great idea.
Apparently the film's a little bit disappointing.
Right.
But great idea.
But just not realistic. Right? Stringy people. Yeah. But what but great idea, but just not realistic. Right? But what is within
our, let's go over chavability. It's cutting off our legs. Cutting off the legs at the
knees. At the knees. Right. And now what, you can still build smaller houses. Oh yeah.
Right. Doors and everything. That all comes down. you can split a regular size house into a house for three people
You're you're absolutely right, okay?
Three family every level you just divide that in half yes
You got a one story house you got a two story house
Yes
Cutting it off at the knees. That's look look, is that an idea, anything? Yeah.
I mean, yeah, absolutely.
And it's taught, and maybe it references this damn,
madame and movie about how unrealistic it is.
So it's a, it's a trailer for a new movie
that directly criticizes a different movie
for being unrealistic and then goes into this particular riff.
I mean, I do think that like maybe that,
you know, like you're not really harving everybody's height.
You're reducing it by a maximum of quarter.
Not at maximum, maybe like maybe two fifths.
At maximum two fifths.
Maximum two fifths.
Oh, but maybe you could, I mean,
if you're cutting off at the knee,
you could cut off above the knee, like a good,
you know, I guess so, yeah.
I guess you know, you don't love the knee.
And if all we're after is a little bit of wiggle.
Yeah, but also, I guess you could always just shave a tiny bit of skull off the top.
That's true.
I mean, if we're making marginal gains, you can shave a bit of skull off the top.
You know, just like, it doesn't need to be that short.
If you want to keep a bit of extra leg, you can shave a bit off the top of the skull, right? But now what are we putting at the bottom of those legs?
We just haven't a nub are we moving the feet up or we slicing a hole through the leg
Croft putting some wheels in there. Well, I think crock material
I go is good. Yeah, but you know that like that crock foam. Yeah, and just have that there walking on clouds
Is this from the crock people are the crock people bringing this out?
Oh, I think maybe I've heard Jonathan Schuster say that.
What about? What about?
Just the walking on crocks is like walking on clouds.
Yeah, I've never worn crocks.
They're very comfortable.
I wonder if, I mean, they, they, they, they,
but they really haven't gone beyond the footwear, right?
There's no like the croc, they're not going, there's no croc jacket using that technology.
Not yet.
But soon.
A full croc material outfit.
Yeah, I mean, the croc pants.
Yeah.
I mean, those would be, you wouldn't have to iron those, right?
I don't, I think they'd be crinkle free. You know what? I think you're right. Yeah. And it's just sort of like a foamy outer layer.
And because there's so much air in there, everything is so light. Is this like body armor?
Is this a kind of, I mean, I don't know what the breed is like body armor. Yeah.
Well, the breathability on the crocs comes from the holes, right? They're full of holes.
Sure. I guess you can have holes in this one. I guess I guess this is also full of holes
And people find that sexy sure people find like holding you know, they little bit of holes
They don't want to see everything fish net stockings. Yeah fish net stockings are hot mm-hmm
Why not sort of a
Like net stock. Yeah, or like it's a, what's that thing that you stream pasta through?
Callender.
A callender net,
a pasta net shirt, business shirt.
Ha ha ha.
Pasta net pants.
I think that it'd be interesting to see
what this level of grip, like having that level of grip
all over your body would allow you to do as well.
Because... Do you think that because in sort of polite society we don't tend to try and grab at each other
that much, but do you think with the access to more grippiness we might start using it more?
I think it's one of those things like the iPhone. You know, you bring out the iPhone, you
don't quite know what people are going to do with it, but you're like, here's an interesting
technology. And people start to take advantage of it.
And I think having a body that's all grippy all the way over would be really intriguing.
Right?
Like, I imagine now, for example, that when you go riding on a horse, you won't need a
saddle.
Like when you go riding on an elephant, I can imagine you could just sort of, you could
probably hang off the side of the elephant a lot more effectively.
You could hang off the side of a train, a speeding train.
Well, I mean, I think it's gonna start a path
towards more human grippiness, you know,
which will include sort of more suction cups maybe,
more, you know, like more of those like rubbery things
that you have that you put on, you know,
at the bottom of the shower, so you don't slip over. And on slip mats, yeah. On those like rubbery things that you have that you put on, you know, at the bottom of the shower so you don't slip over.
Non-slip mats, yeah. Non-slip mats, things like that. And then something.
Imagine that non-slip all over you. I am the non-slip mat.
Nothing can slip. Non-slip mat you.
But if you, you know, water lands on you, it doesn't wash away. It sticks to you.
Is that how that works?
Well, I guess that would be ultimate friction.
Ultimate friction would not allow you
with a lot of water.
Even water would escape.
Like water off the opposite of a duck's back.
Yes. A crock.
A crock.
Yeah, I guess it's like a sponge off a sponges back.
Mm.
But you don't want it to be absorbed.
Do you want it to just...
No, it just stays there somehow.
It stays.
It's from grip.
Strong grip.
But now, now we're in this point where we're like, we just put this on our bodies to have
grip.
But now we've got it on our bodies and we're covered in water that just doesn't get off.
Well, do you think we might get slippery?
Well, I think that we might get ultimately make Well, I think that will make us get ultimately
make us more slippery, but hey, that's interesting.
Right? That's an interesting direction.
But what do we get to slip on?
We get to slip on.
Oh, but yeah.
We run, we dive, we slide.
Oh, because you know, like, it's like if you have,
let's say, marbles on the ground, right?
It's that that's kind of like the marbles act
as the lack of friction, even though your
the marbles are on pavement, which is, you know, that's not grippy.
Like grippy.
Under your shoes, that's, that's, it's rubber, that's grippy.
You know what we've become?
What?
Like a snail or a slug.
Right.
Well now, now we cover it in this liquid.
Right?
Now we can slide around like a slug.
Well, because we're protected. We liquid. Now we can slide around like a slug. Because we're protected.
We're protected.
You know, because at the moment we've got this sort of slippery skin, but it's very vulnerable
to sliding on pavement.
Well, I mean, it feels like there's an improvement that could be made here in the human physiology.
Again, we're doing a fair bit of work on the human body today, but we already have
pores. We already have sweat. So I don't see why there can't be some sort
of additive or something I can take that turns that sweat that I'm doing anyway into
a snail-like slime. It must be possible to, even if you have to modify my genome slightly, right, that I
can now, I can now do this. And it could be something that you can switch on and off,
like you can switch off on and off that really bad smelling sweat that you get when you're
about to go into a job interview. You know how to turn that off? Well, the body can
somehow. Okay, yeah, yeah. Right, I can't do it consciously. So it's also like precumse.
Yeah, exactly.
You're looking for like a...
Okay, so this is, you know how sometimes they'll take
a bit of the genetic material from a jellyfish,
and they'll put it into a fox,
so they can, the fox can glow in the dark.
Yeah. Right, and what I want them to do is take a little bit of the genetic material from the dick and
then put that into the sweat glands.
Well, the pre-com gland and then put that in the sweat gland.
In the sweat gland, right?
So then you have a pre-com sweat gland.
Yeah, and just all over my body.
And now, maybe not when I'm aroused.
No.
But maybe, right?
Whatever the scenario is, where it's useful,
I can now just produce that,
and it's not gross.
I don't know, of course not.
But it could like help, let's say you're at a park
and it's one of those slides that doesn't really slip
properly for you.
The heaven worked out the angle or it might be the material is too grippy or they've made it for kids
so that they don't slide and hurt themselves and stuff like that.
Sure, sure, sure.
You stripped out.
Now,
in this context, right?
Now, in this context, right?
And the children's playground, this playground that we've established has been designed
for children.
You strip them and then you ooze on command
and then you slide very fast into the bark
the sort of wood chips on the ground.
The wood chips on the ground, don't.
Yeah.
And then another group, it then I'm going to come up to me and say,
what's going on this is disgusting,
you're naked in the children's playground
and covered in what appears to be come.
I say no, it's pre-come.
It's pre-come.
And also I'm wearing wood chips.
Yeah.
I was only nude for the very slightest of times
when I was far away from everybody. No, I'll just roll around. I'm coated in wood chips.
Yeah. Oh, so wood can't be clothes. Oh, you can't eat wood. You can't wear it as clothes.
Geez, people.
And scene.
Have we, is there?
Where were you going with wanting to be slippery?
To be really slippery.
Just, again, it's just another feature.
It's an option that I'd like to have.
Well, it could, you know, like this crock sort of phase
that heads towards grippiness could start a counterculture
that goes towards slipperyness.
Yeah, the slips in the grips. The slips v grips. could start a counter culture that goes towards slipperiness.
Yeah, the slips in the grips.
Slips v grips.
It's an arms race of a sort.
I imagine the police are the ones who are super grippy
because they wanna catch people, right?
Or like it's some sector of society
that's trying to control people.
But then those who are like the rebels, right?
Who wanna be real slippy,
so that they can run free and evade capture.
And so then, I think over time,
we'd probably evolve into two quite different species
who cohabitate.
But it'll be done get in each other's way,
but that's just yeah.
But for now, it'll kind of be like Star Wars,
but instead of the Force, it'll be like the goo,
or the ooze.
The ooze.
Yeah.
And, and you know, the sort of the empire will be the grippy.
And the rebels will be the slips,
the slips and the grips, the slipy grips.
will be the slips, the slips and the grips, the slips, the grips.
I think so often we see these movies where the dichotomy that plays out between the two different sides are good and the evil is one sort of about
authoritarianism or something like that. But this one's going to be much more tactile.
Yeah. I mean, and it doesn't have to be a metaphor. So those who don't want to be grabbed.
Exactly.
I mean, it's not that far.
It's almost bordering on being a metaphor.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's like those who are rigid and those who are a bit loosey-goosey and like, you know,
have a bit of fun.
Have a slime and good time.
Yeah.
One of them, they catch traces going to be,
it's slime time.
Oh, sounds good.
Which ones do you think?
Uh, I'll surprise you.
You got to see the film.
I don't want to give it away now.
Right, we'll see that line in the trailer,
but we won't see who's saying it.
But think about this, the slips, right?
Their mode of public transport
will be they can just have sort of water slidey type things. They go from building to building
or through town and you can just climb. You just have to climb some stairs. Yeah. Go up there and then
get a little bit of speed up. Yeah. And you're off down the...
Oh, that you can get to what you slide right into your desk at work.
Down the slipway.
Yeah.
Ah, whereas the gripping people, what are they going to do?
Well, just grab the outside of some vehicle.
Mm-hmm.
I mean, they have the advantage they can climb up the outside of buildings and stuff.
That's true, yeah.
And I guess if you make those buildings drive down a highway, then that's a form of
public transport.
All right, what about this?
This is my new idea for trains, because what we do at the moment with trains is we make
them really, really long, but that takes up quite a lot of space.
What if we made the trains really, really high?
Just four quite close together little wheels at the bottom, and then the train is like, I don't know, like 50, 100 meters tall.
Scoot it around.
Is it one person thick?
It's, well, there's got to be room to climb off the ladder or whatever to find your seat
or, you know, just cling on to whatever.
Yeah, yeah, I like that.
But this will allow us to get more trains because they actually have double-decker trains
in Sydney. I don't know if you've been there. Oh, well, it's crazy. I like that. But this all allows to get more trains because they actually have double-decker trains in
Sydney.
Don't keep seeing this.
Don't have you been there.
It's crazy.
I mean, I look at not all of us who had the opportunity to work up in there.
Sure, sure, sure.
Yeah, I got the call a couple of years ago.
But we also, we have single-decker trains here in Melbourne.
I mean, who's looking into the triple-decker, quadruple-decker, right?
And then the higher you go, the more trains
you can pack onto the line, this is where we're headed.
Right?
If we're going to medium density housing,
we're going to medium density training.
Training.
Yeah.
And you know, I mean, this could also go into cars.
I mean, we've got the double decker boss.
There's probably a triple decker boss out there.
There's got to be a double decker cars. Are there single cars out there? I don't know if there is a single double deck of bus. This is probably a triple deck of bus out there. There's gotta be a double deck of cars.
There are single cars there.
I don't know if there is a single double deck of car.
I've never, I've never.
It's crazy.
Yeah.
Is there,
Has no one looked into this?
There must be a double deck of car.
Probably a van.
Can I Google it?
Yeah.
Is that something that we do on,
I mean, we've never,
I imagine there's probably a double-decker van and surely
But you you are just a double-decker car. Yeah, like you know many think about that only be the the height of a regular car
Double-decker car. I'm not seeing much
I'm seeing cars on top of other cars
No, no, this is not at all what I'm talking about. People have nobody's done this, Alistair. Nobody's done a double-decker car.
We got to stop the podcast right now. You can go build a car? Yes. Wow. Yeah.
I mean, there's a couple of weird sort of things that looks like people have
screwed some stuff together or whatever, but I'm not seeing anything that's a genuine, you know, household.
A consumer vehicle.
Just like a little ladder inside it.
Yeah, a ramp. I mean, I feel like the ladder could even be outside, right? And you climb up.
Oh, sure.
Oh, you've vaulted up or something like that?
Like a fire escape?
Yeah.
This could be the solution for them. I mean, I'm gonna write it down. We don't have a sketch escape? Yeah. This could be the solution for them.
I mean, I'm gonna write a demo.
We don't have a sketch for it yet.
But the double deck of car, I think this is the sketch.
Right?
There hasn't been a double deck of car in vents.
It hasn't paid a double deck of car.
I mean, how unimaginative are we as a people?
Oh, I know.
We can only think of cars in terms of a single deck.

What about a half deck car?
Where's that a motorbike?
I just I don't I don't think that's possible.
I don't know what I don't know what you're talking about.
It's like I don't even I don't think I don't think you can put the term half deck
in front of anything and the little Mike sense.
Okay. Half deck of cards.
Okay, fuck you. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha And I knew how flawed it was. And I was like, look, I'll just say it. And hopefully Alistair is like way dumb of it.
I'm giving credit for it.
Do you disappoint me again, Alistair?
Anyway, I've got to close this window.
I'm looking at all these double-decker buses.
And that's not helping me.
My house only has half a deck of cards in it.
Oh, no.
It's not finished building the deck.
But then also a half deck car could be a car with just, you know, you've got the driver's
seat and the ground and then all that.
And then the passenger seat, there's just no ground underneath it.
Oh yeah, yeah, there's no deck.
We don't actually ever talk about the car's deck the deck of the car. That's
right. I mean, you know, we watch the deck. We talk about a double deck of bus and and
and by by deduction. Yeah. It's obvious that a car a standard car is a single deck a car.
Yeah. Deck,duction. Deck,duction. Thank you. But there's no one of both, Dectection.
Thank you.
You never know that you're my hero.
Don't know you're everything I wish I could be.
You actually have a beautiful voice on this there. And I think it was wasted.
And it is such a beautiful voice.
You're right.
I can fly on the anywhere.
I don't know if he believes me.
And you've complemented my voice more than anyone.
And I want to believe it.
But I can't 100% trust you opinion, because it doesn't feel like you're right.
You know what I mean?
And I appreciate it.
I mean, there are issues, right?
I've associated with my ability to tell what is good, especially in music.
And I'll admit that.
But like, if the world, okay, Alistair,
I want you to know that if you and I,
if everyone else died, right,
maybe while we're in the booth,
there's some sort of an accident.
And you and I are the only people in the world.
Yeah.
And, and, you know, we then get to decide what is good.
Yeah.
I will go like on the record and I like I will give the casting vote or whatever to decide
that you have the most beautiful voice.
Like, and then if we were able to somehow restart society just you and me.
Yeah. Right. I don't know how.
But it will find away.
Fend away. Fend away. Fend away. Fend away. Fend away. Fend away. Fend away. Fend away. Fend away. Fend away. Fend away. Fend away. Fend away. Fend away. Fend away. Fend away. Fend away. Fend away. Fend away. Fend away. Fend away. Fend away. Fend away. Fend away. Fend away. Fend away.
Fend away. Fend away. Fend away. Fend away. Fend away. Fend away. Fend away. Fend away. Fend away. Fend away. Fend away. Fend away. Fend away. Fend away. Fend away. Fend away. Fend away. Fend away. Fend away. F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F Yeah, right. I don't know how, but it will find a way. Using tubes, right? Oh, yeah. And then it will be part of like the new
concept of music, but it will be one based around the idea where you have a beautiful voice.
Okay, that's great. Well, I love the idea of starting music again, based around
my voice, and hopefully you could contribute to some of it.
This is the most exciting thing about starting a new society,
is that you do get to decide what's good.
Yeah, and can I say that you will become the sort of the best dancer?
The best dancer.
Yes.
Absolutely.
You can be best dancer.
And also, I think you can decide what rhythm is.
Oh, whatever, whatever you, whatever you create as rhythm.
Alistair, I'm getting flushed here.
That becomes a very exciting.
That becomes a music new time.
So I would be the person with the best rhythm by definition.
That's right.
And you would actually define what the rhythms are.
This is because we don't talk about this but like when you go and start a new colony on a new world, right?
When we finally do, you know, slip the silly bonds of gravity and take our place amongst the stars and live, you know,
you know in the Andromeda galaxy or whatever. Or maybe on that super earth that they discovered. Oh, I think it'll be good. The people who land on that planet first
are going to get to decide what is good.
Right.
And so, you know, one of those people can be like,
that what you do, that's what dancing is now.
Yeah.
And, you know, you can't argue with that.
No. Hopefully there's no videos or anything like that left over from...
Doesn't matter.
Yeah, that's true.
Because they weren't there.
That's what I was talking about.
I was like, what were they?
I think that's great.
You can call all of that stuff.
You know what this is, I don't know.
I just had a revelation.
But you can say all that stuff,
like all the evidence of dancing,
of, you know, if there are videos or whatever kind of record,
you can say that that's the work of the devil or that's trickery.
Yeah, or that's trying to lead you astray.
Exactly.
We leave that behind us.
Right. But then that made me think that maybe
all humanity did come from a different planet. Right. And then say the Bible is the one correct
religion. Sure. Just for the sake of argument. Right. Maybe it was just like a sort of a way of explaining a way,
you know, messages from the old society
that we used to live in or something, you know.
Like, you know, you would invent the concept of God
and concept of the devil as a way to like make people
forget about the great dancing we used to do.
Yeah, exactly.
I mean, this idea doesn't make as much sense as I'd hoped to.
But when it was just inside my head. But I think the idea, I mean, look, I think that
does make sense, Andy. I think the Bible and everything was invented to create a unified
identity. In many ways, yes. Yeah. In many ways, I haven't said anything at all.
No, you haven't said anything wrong. But then, but I think, you know, people landing on a new
anything wrong. But then, but I think, you know, people landing on a new earth and deciding what the new things are, I think that could be a sketch.
Yeah. I would say that's what I want to hear. Thank you. I mean, on the new world, we'll
get to decide what's a sketch. So that'll absolutely be a sketch.
Andy, I think this podcast has become a new world in which in which our definition of what a sketch is probably wouldn't translate
into the regular world.
A thing that we've discovered on many an occasion.
What do we've tried to convince somebody to make what are these sketches?
I'm being a bit harsh towards it.
But what this is, this is a little potting room.
You know, if you've got a farm and you want to grow seedlings,
what you have is you have a little potting room.
Nice place where there's nice and it's warm and it's sun.
It's not like the world outside.
You give the little seeds what they need,
a good little bit of dirt, a good little bit of light,
a good little bit of water, right, just to start sprouting like that.
It's the original safe space, the potting room.
Yes, my grandmother used to have one.
A safe space?
Yes, and, hands for potting.
Yes, and.
So, are you doing this?
Yes.
You know, nobody's come up with a new version of Correct Amundo for a really long time, Alistair.
You're right, like I think to agree with people.
Mmm, you know, we used to have fun with that kind of stuff.
Yeah.
We used to say-
You could be a jazz guy who might have started talking like that.
Really?
Yeah.
I always imagined it was just something from Seinfeld, Correct Amundo.
Correct Amundo! But maybe not. imagine it was just something from Seinfeld, correct a Mundo. Correct a Mundo.
But maybe not.
Right.
And that was me trying to do Samuel L. Jackson in pulp fiction when he's probably got that
cup from the big Kahuna burger and he's drinking.
Can I have a drink?
To wash this down he asks.
He's asking if he's Marcelo Swallis is a bitch, and then somebody gives an answer, and then he says,
correct a mando.
Does he really?
Interesting.
Yeah, he says,
because it doesn't seem like a cool thing to say.
But that's why it's cool.
Oh, I see.
Cool is not being cool.
Well, especially when you're being
a Samuel L. Jackson threatening.
Being lame whilst being threatening is like, well, I'm lame and you can't say anything.
Yeah.
I guess the coolest person in the world
really is the person with the biggest gun.
Exactly.
Like in the context of say you're all in a room, somebody pulls out a gun, that's instantly
that's the coolest person there, because you can't, what are you going to do?
Call them a do-eab?
Unless there's a person.
Make fun of their socks.
Unless there's somebody there who doesn't have a gun.
Oh yes.
But isn't afraid of the gun.
Yeah, but they'll get shot, right?
And now you're back down to just one cool guy with a gun.
Yeah, but first that person has to kill the person with the gun.
And as long as they don't use their power, that other person is the coolest.
Yeah, you're right.
You're right.
How did they kill them?
With the gun.
All right.
Well, I'm confused.
It doesn't matter.
This happens a gun. Oh, right. Well, I'm confused. It doesn't matter. Oh, yeah.
This happens a lot.
Yeah, but I'm just thinking, I just think that we should come up with some more.
Okay.
That's all.
Okay, so it needs to be, the answer to something where it's like, I, that is right.
Right then.
Okay.
So, right, correct.
I agree.
The wall...I agree that that is the right answer.
Yeah.
Anyway, this is too hard to...
Agree among them.
Oh, we did it.
All right, let's move on.
I apologize that I don't have a...
No, I'm fine right now't have a one point right now.
I'm gonna put you on the spot there.
It's okay.
I think what it seemed like correct a mando was such an obvious one
that it would be easy to come up with more,
but what we're discovering is that it's a lot harder than it looks like.
Well, mando is the Spanish word for world.
Right.
And then a is just a.
Yeah.
So, and correct is the word.
So, right.
A globe, o.
A. Yeah, we could go for a different vowel.
E. Correcty.
And then go for another language. What's another French?
Mmm.
Gond.
Righty-tair.
Tair.
We did it.
It's sounding a little bit like righty there.
Righty there.
Righty, all righty there.
Yeah.
All righty then.
We did it. We got one. All righty then. All right.
Oh, I'm so sorry for that. It's okay. Feaball fodder, you know. Andy, you were making us,
you were giving us ideas now. Do you think we need to go three words from a listener? Yeah, I think
that'd be great. I think there's no better time.
Well, Andrew, the three words today come from Patreon,
supporter, Brendan French.
Brendan, thank you.
Thank you, French, Brendan.
And Brendan has a message in here
that I think we also probably need to get out to our listeners.
So the three words, I'll tell you what they are.
Yes.
200.
That's written out.
Sketches.
For boating.
So 200 is one word?
Yeah, it's written with the letters.
Oh, the numbers.
Yeah, yeah. Well, that's a written with the letters. Oh, the numbers. With the numbers.
Yeah, well, that's a really good work around.
You got their Brendan.
200 sketches for boating.
Yeah, well, okay.
Because there's a 200th episode coming up
in what four episodes or three episodes.
And we're gonna have to do at least 20 hours of part.
Yeah, we were debating earlier today.
Like, well, maybe we could open up the books and people can place bets on how long
They think it's going to take us to get to 200 sketches because I
Okay, the plan is we're gonna start at six o'clock in the morning on Saturday the seventh of September
So it'll actually be recorded Australian time a Australian time. Yeah, but it'll be recorded like a week before
It's just that I think I think I think it'll
probably be actually released on the
16 through 17th or something like that. Yeah, but we have to record it that weekend. It's the only weekend free
But we will also be streaming it. It will be live streamed
Okay, if you want to tune in, okay, we probably won't be checking the live stream or
Interacting with it anyway because we'll be in full full blow and mental breakdowns from about three hours in.
Yeah, and then trying to focus and just trying to get this done so that we can go back to our families.
Correct, but my prediction is that we will go well into the second day.
Like, I'm picturing we won't wrap this up before midday on the Sunday,
but Alistair thinks that we're going to finish, you said 4am on Sunday.
I think 4am on the Sunday, But Alistair thinks that we're gonna finish, you said 4am on the Sunday.
I think 4am on the Sunday.
So I think about 22 hours.
My God, I hope you're right.
Okay, when we did the 100th sketch episode,
it came in at 11 hours.
Yeah, like 11 hours.
17 minutes or something like that.
Right, but man, my thought is that
because we will be slowing down.
So hugely.
Sure. When I did this in your Hobart yacht race, Alistair. Yeah. Right. My thought is that because we will be slowing down. So hugely.
When I did the senior Hobart yacht race, Alistair.
Yeah.
Right.
You know, always about this race.
Did most of it in three days
and then spent like eight hours going about two kilometers
up the Dermont River because all the wind, not rain.
Yeah, no.
Boats aren't powered by rain, but maybe they could be.
Maybe if the sails instead of being a sideways scoop,
like that, well, like a vertical scoop coming down,
sort of like the letter J, like a flat one, L,
a lowercase L with that little curve,
then the rain comes down and then shoots out the back.
You've got yourself a rain-powered boat.
Sure.
Anyway, if anyone wants to build one of those.
Also a different time.
Different times during the 200th episode, I think we could just start using loads of three
words suggestions.
Oh, and if we need a little boost, you know, that could be the thing that gets us through.
So, if you have, like anybody who's sent some through in the past, we'll be using those,
but if you want to send some more through, I can just have a big list in front of us and
I can just keep crossing them off through.
Send them in.
Send them in.
Maybe we'll have a thing where we'll remind ourselves every hour that we should check the
words, right?
If we need some kickers in the gear.
Also we're going to have a lot of guests in,
bringing back a lot of faves, probably.
Gotta start booking people, that was there.
Yeah, just her booking people.
Cause we're gonna need a long list,
long list of names.
Sure thing.
Alright, people to come in at 3am.
Oh yeah.
It is through the viddart shift.
Yeah, I mean, back'll still be up at that time.
No, that's true.
She never sleeps.
She's normal hours.
Yeah. Right, no, she's good. She's good energy. No, that's true. She never sleeps. She never sleeps. She's normal hours.
Right.
No, she's good.
She's good energy.
All right, but now we also have to come up with a sketch idea based off of Brendan's warnings.
And you know, the terrible.
Well, 200 sketch for boating.
The first thing that comes to my mind is the idea that, you know, much like everybody
has a finite number of heartbeats in their lives. What if you only had a
finite amount of art in you? So you're an artist and say you only have 200 sketches.
As you're approaching that deadline, the pressure is on to make the sketches more and more
meaningful and maybe you'll postpone that last one for as long as you can.
But then you'll just be overtaken with the urge to create
and hang the consequences.
You'll be forced to sketch something.
Oh, yeah.
And then you die.
Well, I mean, I could become a 100 sketch artist, you know,
and I go into being into art.
So, you know, a lot of art just seems endless, right?
That's true. I mean, this is why people like the artists who are self-destructive, right?
Who, you know, trig themselves to death or do a lot of heroin and die young, because, you know,
put some limit on it, right? And then, and then they're out and then you're like, you know,
they're not making any more of these. Yeah. Because he's dead.
Like I do that too. I could become the 100 sketch artist.
Yes.
And just do 100 paintings.
That's all I'm ever gonna do.
That's all I'm ever gonna do.
And I'm quitting.
This is like Bitcoin.
Yeah.
This is what Bitcoin is so valuable,
is the limited nature of it.
Right?
Because they're not making, well, they're making more,
but very slowly.
Yeah.
So this, right, you're saying,
and this is so good, I'll say.
Because it doesn't matter if your things are very good or not.
The very fact that you've told people,
this is all there's ever going to be.
You've created scarcity.
That's what you need for the value to skyrocket.
So just to add an element to this,
it's a society in which an artist can't do
any more than a hundred paintings.
Or whatever type of work.
Or whatever type of work, sculptures or whatever.
But it's a hundred units of art.
Yes.
But add it into that so that the society has enough people
who are functioning and doing jobs that add to society.
It's a bit of a Logan's run thing,
and if you hit a hundred, you get taken to a Roman die.
You die, okay, great.
Does, is it then that everybody has to do
a hundred units of art in their lives?
Does that help us in any way?
Well, or not?
Well, I mean, maybe everybody has to do 50.
Okay.
You have to do 50 by the time you're 30.
Yep.
And then you have 49 more that you can do if you want to not die.
And then you can keep living on, but don't do too much art.
We don't want to have, you know, we want there to be a limit so that you're not just
wasting resources and time.
And it's kind of a very relevant to me.
It feels like at the moment because I've got a lot of,
because I'm gonna get a lot of drawings that my kids
have done at daycare and that sort of thing coming
out from daycare.
We do a lot of drawings at home.
And already the volume is just too much to handle.
Sure.
And that they are, and I love them all, and it makes me almost cry thinking about
them or thinking about getting rid of some of them.
But I have had to get rid of some of them.
Oh my God.
Just because there's just too much.
Have you thought about getting those huge metal drawers?
I guess I could start preserving some of them in huge metal drawers. But you know,
if my kids had some sense of urgency that like they're, you know, then I know, oh,
that you're only going to do a hundred of these. I'm going to keep, I can keep all of them now.
Yeah. Because one day my kids aren't going to want to keep them or their kids certainly,
I'm going to want to keep them or like a few generations down you know we'll all be dead and they'll just what's going to
happen to all this art I've been keeping. Well I guess it'll it'll feed sort of
all the bugs that take over our homes after we've all died.
Those bugs appreciate art. Yeah but now we kind of have this sort of half idea here. Is it can is there a way to make it funny and more of a sketch?
What if it was ten works of art. Okay. Yes a little bit more interesting. What if it's one?
Right. Let's heighten it. Okay. Or or what if it's this that it's one, right? Let's heighten it, okay? Or, or, what if it's this?
That it's a system wherein,
just because there is so much art,
that the government does start to introduce caps,
basically, on art, like you would on carbon emissions,
or something like that.
And they have to keep lowering the cap, right?
To the point where you are only like,
you know how everyone says you,
everyone has one painting in them? Yeah. Well, that's it are only like, you know how everyone says you all, everyone has
one painting in them.
Yeah.
Well, that's it.
That's all you have.
That's all you're allowed to have.
And then what do we have?
Well, it's like kind of like a China's one child policy.
Well, there's no other, there's no actually no other currency.
Right.
So that's why you put a limit on it because you can't keep printing money, right?
Yes.
And money has no inherent value.
And we don't have, and we don't have any other jobs to do
because robots are doing all those now.
All art is the whole currency.
Yes, this is very good, right?
And then the value of each piece of art
is sort of subjective, right?
But you can still exchange, you know,
you wanna buy something, you have to present them
with a certain number of works of art,
and they, you wanna buy a chicken, right?
You go through your collection, your art collection,
you find like a few sketches or whatever,
you think add up in value too.
But you only have five or whatever you can do, right? Well, I think we still have all the art that's ever been made and then each individual
because we want to control inflation.
People aren't allowed to make more art.
That's right.
Or you're only allowed to make a very limited amount of art.
So your family's passed down all the art that they have collected from the other people and things like that.
And we're all trying to swap it for chickens.
Yeah, I guess.
Yes.
We don't work or anything, but we want chickens.
It's an art and chicken by society.
But also there's also this thing that let's say if you were,
like let's say you are, like you do make your first painting
and then people love it.
Yeah.
People are like, they want more.
And so then they'll raise your status.
You'll be like, oh, this person's great.
And we want to hang around with them
because he might do another artwork.
That's really great.
Then we'll be able to take it off them.
Yeah, or whatever.
And then, but then when you get to four or five,
your limit suddenly, or once you do your limit,
your fifth one hmm
You're still
perceived as great hmm, but
You're not gonna create any more greatness. So you're gonna start you know lowering and people's value to you their usefulness to them, you know
What this would mean right is that at the end of each news report
There would be instead of the finance,
it would be the art report, and there'd be information like there's been a run,
some negative tweets about impressionism from the director of the National Gallery have massively
reduced the value of many of the old masters. And then suddenly everyone's trying to get rid of all their work to be
pressure-dism because they've bottomed out. Yes. And I think we found the most
holier version of this. I think it's definitely something. It doesn't feel
necessarily something you can easily do in a small sketch, but if you were the
sort of person who's inclined to sort of introduce the idea
of an entire channel or maybe a whole new internet
given over to one particular sketch,
we could broadcast this as like an ongoing piece.
Right, I think that never ends.
I think this would be This would be a good sketch in our
In our new show where we come up with five high concepts for things
Really abstract things I think this I think it's gonna be really funny
Great, I love that. Thank you. Should I take us through the today's sketch? Yes, I'd love that. Thank you. We got the it's the
new teddy outfit that, that you wear. It's covered in tiny little legs and you become like a little
hair, and it carries you away like an ants carrying away a food ad from a picnic. And that's
a new mode of transport that we have in the cities. And there's just the lay down lane in
walking, footpaths and stuff like that. There's just people laying there and they watch the people walk by who walk by and their
regular legs like suckers.
And you won't hear this, but if you listen to your own brain, you'll hear this sound.
And they're walking away.
Absolutely. And then you also be going, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm,
mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
And then, okay, then we've got ass wheels.
Yeah.
It's another one.
We're talking about a really good boat of transport.
I was talking about that.
That are easy sketches to make.
Yeah, and it's, um, it's just a new society.
I mean, it's still the same society.
We don't have to change all of society.
I don't think society will change that much.
Everyone will just have, you know, a big scoop
carved out of their butt cheeks.
There'll be a self-powered wheel inside each ass chicken.
You'll just sit down on your button, scoot around.
You'll be boot-scootin'.
This'll be the new boot-scoot.
More butt-scootin'.
Butt-scootin'.
Yeah, butt-scootin'.
That's great.
And then we've got people who watched the Matt Damon movie Scoot or butt scootin. Butt scootin. Yeah, butt's got. That's great.
And then we got people who watched the Matt Damon movie
where they people got shrunk down.
They said, that's not practical.
Well, we can do a similar thing by cutting up everybody off
at the knees.
Yeah.
And then we don't need as much wood to build on people.
So many of our sketches involve body modification.
I don't know, idea.
I feel like I have nothing to do with that.
I can't.
You really gotta search within yourself and see,
and why are you not happy with what you have?
Well, I've been blessed with.
It's very clear.
And then we got crock outfit.
Yes.
And the crock outfit is an outfit that you don't have to iron.
It's very light and acts like armor.
But what it's begun is this new world of grippy clothing.
And then that introduces a sort of an arms race between them and the slippy people.
That's right.
It creates an arms race between the slippery people and the grippy people.
Because the slippery people started as a counterculture in response to the grippiness of clothing.
And everybody's striving for more grip.
And in that context, to slide is a rebellious act.
That's right. And you become, and you're not stuck anywhere.
You can glide along the pavement or through tubes.
So then we have the slips versus grips,
which I guess is what we were just talking about,
but that's, I've written it down.
Oh, that's a separate idea.
But I mean, I guess the crock outfit is a real standard.
It's a load.
It's a load.
Yeah.
Then we have double-decker card.
Yeah.
We can't believe that it hasn't, it's been invented yet.
I mean, it's crazy.
Then we've got landing on a new world and you get to decide
what everything is.
It's been, let's say these people have
been traveling for 50 generations and they arrive at this
second earth and it's unhabited, they're like bonus, like that.
We get to decide what everything is.
You very quickly when you're establishing a new society have to decide what's good, right?
And I think it would literally, it's so arbitrary.
I mean, what's good in most forms of expression
doesn't really matter.
You just got to decide what it is.
That's right.
So people know what they're working towards.
So you just have an open town hall session
where everyone's like, okay, now we're going to decide
what's good, what's a good flavor, right?
And people just shout stuff out and we'll be like,
that's the best one, that's the best flavor, okay?
That's great, yeah, but also the one. I can hear in our current society'll be like that's the best one. That's the best flavor. Okay. Yeah
But also the one our current society everyone knows what's the best flavor. Well, I mean, what is it? It's probably like artificial peach
Sure, yeah, you don't think chocolate. I mean chocolate's pretty good, but artificial it's no artificial peach
Yeah, I couldn't even tell you what artificial peach tastes like artificial grape. I mean, I guess I could tell you it tastes like peach, but
artificial grape is quite a good flavor. You know, like those peach flavored ice teas?
That's not like real peach flavor, right? I guess it's probably not real peach flavor.
Yeah. I tell you what is a good flavor. There's a natural confectionery company. Yeah.
Whatever the purple ones are, are those? That'd be great,
probably. No, it's like black current.
Might be black current. That's a good flavor.
Black current is a great flavor. Should we decide on the next
planet? That's the best flavor.
I think so. Yeah, great. And then we have all the art
culture. Where all art is money.
And you can only have make five.
Yeah, and you don't carry around or wallet.
You carry around your portfolio of works.
That's right, so that you can buy chickens.
I think the chicken's the most plausible part of the entire thing.
I don't know why the chicken is the thing that we just saw.
Well, I mean, we know that there's a world behind this where, you know,
where for some reason humans no longer need to work and it's a whole recreation and art.
And what do you need for that?
Chicken.
Chicken.
Well, cock fighting.
It turns out cock fighting is the only thing that we really enjoy now.
And so we have to make art so that we can buy chickens
so they can give birth to male chickens.
When they were having the open town hall session
and said, okay, and what are we considered
to be like a healthy, humane sport for the entire family?
Somebody shout out cock fighting.
But because we were so, we had to,
had so little time to decide these things.
Because we have a system of whatever the first thing is,
is the thing that we're stuck with.
Well, one of the first questions we asked was,
and what will be the thing that we're stuck with?
Somebody shared it out,
the first thing anyone thinks of.
That's fair.
Oh, damn it.
Yeah.
You've got us save for a barrel!
All right, so I think that's all the sketches.
Now we're going to go to the wrap-up part,
and then after that, we're going to record our bonus Patreon episode.
Which I'm really excited about.
Sci-fi Try Guys.
Sci-fi Try Guys, we've got two news stories for yous.

Never talk about this, right?
But what are my favorite podcasts of all time?
The Mark Ford podcast.
They're about to delete all their old episodes.
Really?
So if you've never listened to the Mark Ford podcast,
they're gonna delete every single episode,
like in September.
So very soon.
You might not even have time to get them
before you hear this.
But go and find their stuff
and download as much of it as you can
because it's so funny.
Yeah, right.
Start with the cliché episode.
Okay, why?
I haven't really listened to very much either.
Well, it's too late, Alice.
That's not too late.
No, no.
By the time you hear this, it's probably too late, Alice.
No! I don't know when you're listening to this, no, by the time you hear this, it's probably too late now. No. I don't know when you're listening to this, Alistair,
but when I'm recording it, there's very little time left.
Anyway, I might put a link down below for that if I remember.
We feel really good when you review us on iTunes or Apple podcasts,
whatever it's called now, or review Shusherguided Meditations.
Sure. I love, we like that too.
I love, that's my favorite.
You can give a review for this podcast on the Shusher thing,
