Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, Hello and welcome to Two in the Thing Tank, the show where we come with four sketchy ideas on Mandy and I'm Alice to cover Trumblay virtual. And what about your rapier shells around this motion noise. Yeah. Whoooo. Again, very good.
Starting point is 00:01:13 Very good. Have you practiced that before? That's just there. That's just top of mind. Top of mind, bro. I wouldn't have the confidence. Well, it's because you haven't tried, bro. It's like this kid's story that I haven't written, but I just was scribbling on a page and I was about a dog who sees other dogs
Starting point is 00:01:33 catch its tail. And then it goes, I'll just can't do that. People who are way better than me can do that. But the dog's tail is long enough and he's actually quite good at reacting to things because he's able to catch flies in midair and then one day there's a fly on his tail and he catches his tail and he doesn't get it. Why he's capable of doing this? It's because he tried. It's because he tried, but not on purpose. He accidentally tried. You got to have a go, bro. And would you say that that's a metaphor for the creative process? I mean, the amount of people who think that they can't do something creative,
Starting point is 00:02:13 like if I can do it, I am the shitdest garbage load of pile of cum. Yeah. You know, I'm, a dog. All human beings are, is just come that got its act together. Well, I know, but then it's lost its act together. Yeah. All right, it's just come that got lucky, isn't it? We're all just come that got lucky. Lucky. Right place, right, Tom. Lucky. Mm-hmm. The luck of the cum. But we're doing the podcast for you right now.
Starting point is 00:02:49 Yeah, we are. Okay, great. This is a podcast. Do you like, do you like, have we talked about this before? My favourite metaphor is the metaphor for the creative process. Hit me with it. Well, it's just whenever you make a movie and it's like, Oh, the Civil War.
Starting point is 00:03:03 But then, you know, film critics come out and say, well, actually, this is about filmmaking, you know? The Civil War was actually the film and trying to win the war was actually trying to make the film. Sure. And the bullets were self-doubt and the arrows were criticism. But then there's also the opposite where you make a movie about the creative process. were self-doubt and the arrows were criticism. But then there's also the opposite where you make a movie about the creative process. Really what it's about is the internal war with yourself.
Starting point is 00:03:32 Correct. Which is the creative process. Yes, and so it's kind of a double metaphor. Do you think that like, but of all the lies that we tell ourselves as people who try to be creative? I think the best one is, I'm just scared to put my work out there because of you know I'm scared to make things because Because then I'll be judged
Starting point is 00:03:53 Yeah, but then no you're just lazy. You're just lazy like everybody else. Yeah, because then today when I You know because whenever if ever I say that someone will then post a point to that tweet I did today Which is just a photo of the inside of my nose I think I may have seen a gray nose hair If people go you're not afraid of being judged And I go yeah, right I'll just want attention. I want people the reason I haven't made more is because I'm a perfectionist And I won't put anything
Starting point is 00:04:25 out there unless it's absolutely perfect, like this picture of the inside of my nostril that I got Andy to take in the kitchenette earlier. And especially, but I mean the photo was surprisingly clean there. Yeah, I think we were all surprised. But that was perfection of a. Making more boogers. Yeah, it was a perfection of a kind of a lucky type. Booger.
Starting point is 00:04:55 Great word. Great word for a thing. Really encapsulates. Probably the best. Like, not is actually a little bit gross. Boogers are a bit of fun, but I think it really grabs it. You know, it really... I think it could use in bodies.
Starting point is 00:05:11 Yeah? Buggler? Buggler? Buggler. Buggler. I guess a Buggler. Buggler, Buggler. I guess Buggler sounds like somebody who takes Buggers.
Starting point is 00:05:22 That's right. Snot, Buggler. It sounds like somebody who takes boogers. What the... It's not burglar. Yeah, it's not burglar. The burglar, burglar. Let's... This is a great children's book, Alistair. Write this down as a sketch idea, but it's secretly a children's book. It's about the Bouga Ferry, right?
Starting point is 00:05:43 It's like the tooth fairy, so there's the tooth fairy, and you know, she's all white and beautiful and clean, but then there's the Bouga Ferry, who comes, and like cleans up all the Bougas that get on your pillow in the night, and that sort of thing. He doesn't leave you anything, because he doesn't have anything to give you,
Starting point is 00:05:58 but also you don't want your Bouga, so he's doing you a favor. But basically, he's a metaphor for like... The back but basically it's he's a metaphor for like the backer you then backer you know he's a metaphor for the backer you know for the for the sideers passage no he's a metaphor for people whose jobs who like do important jobs but who don't get respected yeah you know like cleaners and that sort of thing and everyone loves the tooth fairy right but she's just got inherited wealth. Where's she getting all this money from?
Starting point is 00:06:27 Right? She's a trust fund baby. But the burglar. The tooth fairy. Yeah, she must be. Like otherwise, like, where's she getting this money? Right? See, so she's sold to Ivory Dealers.
Starting point is 00:06:40 I guess so. Fake Ivory. Tiny Ivory Dealers. Mm. Yeah, she granted. Tiny ivory dealers. Yeah, she's probably can skip dimensions. And she just takes the teeth and then dimension jumps into a dimension where people are really, really tiny and sells the teeth for a huge amount of money on the black market. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:00 She should really call it the white market though if it's ivory. That's true. More teeth. Or teeth. I mean, maybe she's very small. The tooth fairy. Well, yeah, she could be from the world. Yeah, somehow she's a fairy. Of course, yeah, but maybe we call her, maybe we call her a fairy just because she has interdimensional teleportation ability. But, you
Starting point is 00:07:19 know, we've seen her with wings in our minds. But maybe she just has like, maybe she's very advanced. And she has, yeah, just teleportation and a hoverbike. Maybe the bugle is an unfairie, because that's a little play on unfairies. Right? And so, and he's all slimy and covered in filth. He crawls up the drain.
Starting point is 00:07:46 And he's just working so hard picking out these boogers. Gets boogers by going in through the mouth and then up through that. And then we obviously go into the nose. Yeah, I'll butt up through the mouth. I think he's in there with like a long plunger. So on the pillow, shoving it up the nose, trying to plung out the boogers.
Starting point is 00:08:03 I think that's one of those scrapers like bakers have and goes in there and so plunge out the boogers. I think that's one of those scraper's like, bakers have, it goes in there and so scrapes under the boogers like that. Then he finishes it off with like a little chimney sweep. He's got a bit of a chimney sweep vibe with one of those brushes, that's all there. Yeah, great. Maybe polishes your hairs in there.
Starting point is 00:08:18 He gives them a good wank. He's small enough to be able to wank her hair. Wank her, No, he knows. Well, he maybe he's got special little arms for that. But then would you picture like a gritty, a sort of origin story for this person? I need to get into this business. How do you get into this business?
Starting point is 00:08:37 I mean, technically, the body must create some of the most complex chemicals of all. Yes. You know, and so, future scientists, I mean, technically the body must create some of the most complex chemicals of all. Yes. And so, future scientists, and you could imagine us being able to, once we're smart enough to kind of create ultra-complicated chemicals that could do all sorts of magnificent things, the thing you'll want to mine is the human body.
Starting point is 00:09:05 For its diversity of molecules, I was gonna try and say, like, molecular. Oh, so he's extracting those. For future scientists. Yeah, right. Comes back in time travel. Time travels to get these things so that it can run, whatever, they'll be future creatures.
Starting point is 00:09:26 And creatures that we've created, that create their own chemicals, that create their own creatures, you know, things of that. And then we'll, and those things will, you know, we'll be able to synthesize drugs that are based in sort of, snow, boogers, you know, but you need a boogler.
Starting point is 00:09:47 And he, I think, I think, I think when he stops doing it, because somebody catches him and calls him disgusting, right? He's horrible and he gets offended, right? Even though he's just doing this service, right? He stops doing it and then everybody, like they wake up in the morning, they've got heaps of snot and everybody thinks they've got a cold But really it's just that the book Buggler hmm The snot Buggler has stopped doing his job because he's so upset right and they have to apologize
Starting point is 00:10:14 Yeah, somehow convince him to come back. But do we have to go forward in time to go get him from there? Maybe Yeah, I guess if he's got a time thing, then he can do everybody in one night. That's the only reason he can. Yeah. Yeah. It's a lot of work. Every night, all night, every night. But then he must live forever.
Starting point is 00:10:34 Oh, he just lives one night over and over again. I know, but he wouldn't go back in his own time. Yeah, I think he's immortal. I think he's immortal. Yeah, and it's related to these infinity, like these crazy complex chemicals. Yes. You know, at some point, we could probably replace all cell walls, especially if you've got a time device. You replace all cell walls with something that lasts longer. So it is the secret of immortality is somehow in the snot.
Starting point is 00:11:02 Yeah, and you know, something in there that's synthesized by the human body. So it's like, oh, our bodies are capable of living forever. And it's through that, but then it's also means that he's got this endless toil, which he spends his eternal life doing so that he can keep his eternal life. But also out of the goodness of his heart, because he's a good guy.
Starting point is 00:11:22 Well, maybe, yeah, but I mean, to think about it, like what if you could live forever, but it meant that you had to work forever? You had to, and not a good job either. Not a good job, no, you're an nasal scraper. But everybody has to work together in order to make this possible for all of us. But at some point, if you wanna die,
Starting point is 00:11:38 you can call this, you just stop working. Boogie nights. This movie, it's a movie now. Yeah, no, I like it, boogie nights. Boogie nights, just boogie nights. This movie. It's a movie now. Yeah, no, I like it. Yeah, boogie nights. Boogie nights. Just boogie nights. Yeah, boogie nights. Also, he makes porn films. Yes. Maybe he's got a really big nose. Yeah, great. Or he has a cousin who does genital mucus, cleans up genital mucus. Yes, nice pre-com. Pre-com, correct. Obviously, pre-combers are like cucumber, no, no, I don't know about it.
Starting point is 00:12:19 Pre-combers, yeah. That's like cucumber. Yeah, well I think it was thinking that, they should call pickles post-cumbers. And then baby cucumbers would be pre-cumbers. I don't know, don't worry about it, Alistair. Yeah, okay. I realized how little it was of anything as soon as it left my mouth.
Starting point is 00:12:42 And I should realize that about every single wordplay that I do, I think. But sometimes they still slip through the defenses. Well, how about this word play? Yeah, we're on. You know, I told you, my son is currently afraid to poop. Yes. And that it's, for me, it's just in time for Halloween,
Starting point is 00:12:58 because it's one of the most terrifying things that I've ever gone through. I've ever gone through. And I'm like, oh, do you can't just eat and then not let things out. You can't just become a one-way thing and just keep filling up. That you kind of turn into a cul-de-sac, the shit. There you go. Called a sack of shit.
Starting point is 00:13:21 Yeah. That's my wordplay. That's what we remember how we got into that. Is that a wordplay? Called a sack of shit. Oh, caught a sack of shit. Yeah. That's my wordplay. That's what, remember how we got into that? Is that a wordplay? Called a sack of shit. Oh, got a sack of shit. Yeah, okay. Is that what you actually told him? No.
Starting point is 00:13:31 No, you wouldn't do that. No, no, I said, I sat down and wrote... ...to come up with that. Oh, my newsletter. Everybody's doing a newsletter now. All the comedians. Yeah, not me. I'm gonna, I'm waiting for a new format and then I'm gonna get in on that straight away. Everybody's doing a newsletter now. All the comedians. Yeah, not me.
Starting point is 00:13:45 I'm gonna, I'm waiting for a new format and then I'm gonna get in on that straightaway. That's great, yes. That's such a good idea, right? I want, I want it, some sort of alert system that pings me the second there's a new format because imagine if we'd been making TikToks.
Starting point is 00:14:01 podcasts before Mark Marrett. Before Ricky Jervais, maybe his invite in 2004. We would have had Barack Obama on two in the think tank mm-hmm that's where we would be at yeah we would have been coming up with sketch ideas probably be the third banana probably yeah that's a reference to primates yes and Evan being of the second banana on prim We're going to be on primates this afternoon. Yeah, we don't know when it's going to be released. Maybe later on, maybe it's already released.
Starting point is 00:14:30 Yeah. Okay. We are, right, not now, but in the future. Yeah, okay, right. I think you're doing some long time warp thing. I'm the boogler. Yeah, we're going to be, or we're going to be, or we already have been talking about most extreme primate, the third in the series of primate films from Robert Vince, Canadian filmmaker about a chimp called Jack
Starting point is 00:14:58 who gets engaged in a range of different sporting push-its. And yeah, it's pretty dark, pretty dark project. Yeah, I mean, watching the film is such hard work. Yeah. Genuinely, like, it makes you go, oh, I don't know how people review films all the time if watching some movies can be this hard.
Starting point is 00:15:21 It has a 95% rating on Google user reviews. So people love it. Yes. And when I looked at it, we watched it on a YouTube thing, and it had I think 1.3,000 upvotes and only 75 downvotes. I only guess that's mostly in people who have sorted out. Yeah, who look for a reason. I don't think you find that sort of thing that you would find randomly by googling and something. Yeah, who looked for a reason. I don't think you find, that's the sort of thing that you would find randomly by Googling
Starting point is 00:15:47 and that's something. But yeah, man. I mean, look, where else are you gonna go to find a snowboarding champ? It's true. You don't have a lot of options. And so in terms of if that's what you're looking for, that's an up vote because you're not gonna find
Starting point is 00:16:02 that pretty much anywhere else. So there's this new genre of pornography that I've heard about on podcast, which is that like you personalize stuff where you pay a large amount of money for people to make a very specific type of pornography for you, like that that satisfies you in a particular way. We could do a sketch about getting to do this with different genres of films, you know, with action movies or something like that. Maybe this is the way that we could finally get our crank Christmas with the crank movie up, where he's got to be happy all the time. Yes. Jason Statham has to experience a certain amount of Christmas joy
Starting point is 00:16:47 for the duration of the, let's say 24-day, 12 days of Christmas, right? Or he'll explode. What about this video? He should be exploded in that movie. I guess he'd just be taking a lot of ecstasy. Yeah, I guess. Is that Christmas joy? Well, let's come up with a drug that just gives you Christmas joy. Oh, that's a great idea.
Starting point is 00:17:12 Yeah. All right, here we go. I mean, that's basically what eggnog is supposed to be. Yeah. Right? Yeah. If we could boil down. But yeah, and make it into a powder.
Starting point is 00:17:23 Well, it's all right. Yeah, people always say that about, people always say that. It always says that on the side of cans of like spray paint and stuff. This deliberately concentrating and inhaling this product may cause injury or even death. Right. We're going to do that with eggnog. Yeah, boil it down until it's like a 50-tonne concentrate, 100-tonne concentrate if
Starting point is 00:17:44 you need. And then, Meg Nogg. Yeah. Why? Meg Nogg. Oh, yeah, great. Meg Nogg. I know that.
Starting point is 00:17:53 I think the Meg was another Jason Stathend film. If we call it Meg Nogg, but it's a double G, I think people will get it. Okay, correct. a double G. I think people will get it. I got it. Correct. Yeah. And we concentrate it down. Because that way we don't have to do weird Jason Statham references. Yeah, that's a good idea. That's simple.
Starting point is 00:18:18 I just cut out some of the Jason Statham references. This would be the first note from any half, so for specting producer in Hollywood. It's been too much going on. Like, if we can't guarantee we could get Jason's statement in his book. So let's do ourselves a favor, try about some of these stuff. Well, especially because this is not a film.
Starting point is 00:18:37 So if we're going to, if we're going to, well, if we're going to a Hollywood producer to say we're creating a drug. Oh, yeah, I forgot. That inspires Christmas cheer. And we're thinking about calling it the Magnol. You think Jason would be cute? Representing our movie Christmas with the crack
Starting point is 00:19:04 that we made up. We're thinking about making which we'll call you in a few years about that. If we can get this drug up to get enough money going- Yeah. Film mega-nog. A hundred constriction, it's a powder. And I don't know whether you- You snored it? I guess?
Starting point is 00:19:25 You sprinkled it over your head like snow. And you absorb it through your follicle. I think you sprinkled it over your head. You catch it on your tongue, like catching snowflakes. But I think you also just snored it, so it goes straight into your bloodstream or whatever. You just rub into your hair like shampoo.. Everyone that you just rub into your hair, like shampoo. I droid that you rub into your scalp.
Starting point is 00:19:50 That's close to the skull, which is close to the brain. Yeah, but I think there's an element in which you don't do that for anything in Christmas. And for our Christmas time. I guess there is an element of that rubbing stuff into the top of your head. Isn't really important Christmas.
Starting point is 00:20:09 Sure. Why aren't there any drugs? Where you just drill a hole in your brain and you just drop stuff straight. Drill a hole through your skull. And you have a little funnel there. And you just drop stuff in. I mean, it would be great to create the first one.
Starting point is 00:20:23 Yes. But what you do is you just get a drink, you go see your drug dealer. He's just drop stuff in. I mean, it would be great to create the first one. Yes. But what you do is you just get a drink, you go see your drug dealer. He's just got a drill and he puts a little cap in there. So it's like, there's just like, you know, like that cap that you have on a water pistol that kind of like, it's just a hole. And then it's just that little cap.
Starting point is 00:20:38 The flips over. Yeah, it kind of flips over like that. Or it's got that little sort of perpendicular line inside. A little T-shape, little IUD type, per C. Thumbs up from the cap from getting lost. We've gotten about that, Alistair. What a great detail.
Starting point is 00:20:53 What a moment of an isolated unit of nostalgia. Hmm, beautiful. Fundamental unit of nostalgia. So you can just put that in the back of your head like that. And so it's just under your hair. Yeah, great. And then you pop it and then it's occasionally you just you pop it out and then you just just slide a bill in there. Yeah. Slide a bill. Not a pill. Oh right. You know it's just like it just looks like like a dollar bill and then you somehow try and cocaine, snort through your own
Starting point is 00:21:19 skull. And yeah, you upside down. Maybe you could maybe you could. Can you brand snort? Well you, you know, if you put, if you block your nose. No, there has to be no air being. There's no air brain flow connection. Is there, there'd be an isolated system. You'd want to keep that. Maybe if you could find a way of sucking all the blood from your brain, or enough that it creates
Starting point is 00:21:41 a tiny little back pressure. Yeah, like negative pressure that sucks things in. But I mean, why when you could just push a tablet in there that'll just dissolve right on top of your brain's outer. I think you shake in something that looks like fish food. You know, because your brain is basically a fish in liquid. Yeah, that's true. And it's a little granules that will dissolve and that fluid.
Starting point is 00:22:02 Yeah, I mean, it's a great way to take mag-knock, because that is kind of like making it snow. That's sort of your idea of making it snow. That's what you say when you're a big dog. We're gonna make it snow and just sprinkle a little bit in there. I don't know that day, Lord, but I don't know that day, I don't know that day, I don't know that day, I don't know that day, I don't know that day, I don't know that day, I don't know that day, I don't know that day, I don't know that day, I don't know that day, I don't know that day, I don't know that day, I don't know that day, I don't know that day, I don't know that day, I don't know that day, I don't know that day, I don't know that day, I don't know that day, I don't know that day, I don't know that day, I don't know that day, I don't know that day, I don't know that day, I don't know that day, I don't know that day, I don't know that day, I don't know that day, I don't know that day, I don't know that day, I don't know that day, I don't know that day, I don't know that day, I don't know that day, I don't know that day, I don't know that day, I don't know that day, I don't know that day, I don't know that day, I don't know that day, I don't know that day, I don't know that day, I don't know that day, I don't know that day, I don't know that day, I don't know that day, I don't know that day, I don't know that day, I don't know that day, I don't know that It's not even Christmas. It's September. But now suddenly that song takes on an ear-y feeling. Because you hear it playing slowly in the trailer for the film.
Starting point is 00:22:38 I think it's insane. People... Yeah. The highlight of the song is... Yeah. The high, low, low, low, and rest. And the person gets more intelligible as the song goes on, as the drug is kicking in, because it's just part of the tradition of how you take it. Yeah. That is an entire brisk.
Starting point is 00:22:56 Sort of the opposite of the Grinch, right? Because whoever this drug dealer is, maybe this is the future for the Grinch, right? He's so embedded by his inability to steal Christmas' of everybody. And he's sort of like, it's sort of like when dad wants you to stop smoking. So he makes you smoke the whole pack. Well, now the Grinch is like, oh, you won't let me
Starting point is 00:23:20 steal Christmas? Well, what if I give you Christmas all the time on demand, right? And he becomes this CD, Christmas dealer. Yeah, so he becomes the biggest promoter of Christmas. Yeah. You know what's like, and you think about this is like, you picture somebody boxing day, day after Christmas. So he goes, looks like, you know, they get their bag from the
Starting point is 00:23:45 cringe and they go, looks like Christmas is starting early this year. No, you don't have to. You've written around that because he's just garbled because he's so high. And then that way we don't have to pay for the rights. Yeah, what about the notes though? You don't have to pay for the rights. Yeah, what about the notes though? You don't have to pay for the right for the notes to come up. Oh, what if you get the notes wrong? Hema, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, Yeah, this is inside. You're ability to do this. If you get somehow turned that into a bit on stage.
Starting point is 00:24:31 I did do it when I'm doing my urethra bit. I would say, blow across the top. My tannicles. Do you have two for some reason? I haven't done it for a while. It's very, it's very, very good. You guys try to get like that extra little deep vibration in the back of your throat so that as the resonance, you know, anyway. So I think Meganog is a win.
Starting point is 00:24:58 Yeah, oh, now that we've got the Grinch in there, this is turned into a home. It's another, it's a film as well. It's another film. And so this film producer who we get to get this business up and going, hopefully eventually, will be so invested in it, like, can I buy the rights to this drug as a film? And we'll call it Christmas with the Crank. Yes, with the Crank.
Starting point is 00:25:16 With the Crank, yeah. I think Christmas with the Crank is already there. Oh, it's already filmed, yeah, so Christmas with the Crank. I guess, but I mean, this is now like a Grinch film. So, I mean, but maybe we could do that thing where we interslice. Another story in between that is not connecting. And that's how why people think it's art. Yeah, we've been talking about this a lot on our bonus episode. So if I try guys, All we ever do on this podcast now is we talk about other podcasts we're on by the way. And it's going to be all plugs the whole way through. And we're talking about how you can trick people into thinking that
Starting point is 00:25:55 a piece of film is art if you just put another story and you split it up and you put it all the way through. Or like any other kind of... You come back into it. You come back to it and then you don't. You never show why they're connected. You never show that. And that's up to the viewer to speculate about. Endlessly, online. Key to make an art.
Starting point is 00:26:17 Put a little slice of the thing so that people don't understand. Just things that people don't understand so that later on people can explain it to you. And if somebody's explaining something to you That's because that thing is art. Mm-hmm. And then people can debate whether or not that explanation is correct Mm-hmm exactly and you'll and you remind forever in the discourse and as the as the director writer or whatever People say he never reveals what it is like you know like Tarantino. He never revealed What was in what was the light in the suitcase
Starting point is 00:26:45 What was it was it coming from he goes? Do you think that maybe if he if he had something good to put in there? He would have put it in there and told you what it was You're right you're absolutely right if he had thought of something good. He would have told you He would have put it in but What's good is that you don't know. That's the whole point. But now that you've kind of ruled it for me, Alistair,
Starting point is 00:27:10 because now you've proven mathematically that whatever was in there can't be good. If it was, he would have told us. It would have told us it was. So we've narrowed it down. We know that it's something disappointing. Yeah. Whatever it is, it's disappointing.
Starting point is 00:27:25 Possibly can't, whatever it is, like whatever it was, it's either not good or something that would have ruined the movie. You know, like if, like you know, some people say it was Marcellus Wallace's soul. And you go, if they had said that in the film, squirmy little fish.
Starting point is 00:27:41 But think about it. If they had said in the movie, oh, opened it up, orange light, they go, wow, Marcellus Wallace's soul. And then closed it like that. That movie would have been fucked. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:56 You go, oh, now there's this weird magic. Magic. Ah, yuck. Like that. And so. Well, then what does that give us? Does this give us a way of sort of using the tools of logic to critically analyze films, to prove whether or not they're good or bad?
Starting point is 00:28:18 And I think you've proven that that movie is bad. But I love that movie. That bad movie. I love that bad movie. All right, maybe you've just proven that that device is bad. But I love that movie. Yeah, I love that bad movie. Um, all right. Maybe you've just proven that that device is bad. I want you to approve and something. Yeah. No, something to look something has been proven. I think I guess we could the way we could go back. I don't know. Could you just go back into these movies and just take the things that are ambiguous and make them really clear? Well, okay, that's interesting because, you know, that is like Steven Spielberg going back to Jurassic Park and putting in more dinosaurs or whatever.
Starting point is 00:28:55 Or was it George Lucas did stuff to the star, original Star Wars films and put in CG things that look really bad at the time when he was doing them, we were like, wow, this CG stuff is amazing. And nobody thought about the fact that, oh, wait, it's gonna look really, really bad as soon as this gets any better and people realize how garbage it is. And so like six months later, you're already like,
Starting point is 00:29:19 what is that shit? Yeah, weird addition to it. Yeah. Yeah, some weird scene where he adds, oh, maybe this was a deleted scene, but it was like a scene where they had, it had Hans talking to a guy who initially was Jabba the Hut and it was just a guy.
Starting point is 00:29:35 Right. And I think that they had deleted that. But then he had gone back and thought maybe we could put it back in. And if we have what Jabba the Hut now looks like, but have him as a 3D version of him. And then they had this moment where somebody steps on its tail and he goes, what?
Starting point is 00:29:51 I know. Yeah, I've seen that scene. And he goes, yeah. So basically we want to do that, right, but with ambiguity. So we're going to go back through all old films and remove the ambiguity. Because that way they're not allowed to cheat, right? Because by leaving things ambiguous,
Starting point is 00:30:14 we're reversing our theory of art, right? We're saying that leaving things ambiguous is a way of tricking people into doing the work and the tricking the audience into doing the work in their own mind. To do the work of the artist. To do the work that should have been done by the artist and technically we should have been paid for that work. Yeah, for that creative work or get a share of the profits or something like that. Maybe there's a class action and the settlement out of the class action is that all the movie going public will forego their lost earnings for the work that they did by coming up with the better ideas in their own heads.
Starting point is 00:30:49 And all the film studios have to go through their films and remove the ambiguities so that it doesn't happen again. And so Marcellus Polis' in the suitcase was a bike light. It was just a bike light. It was a bike light, but a really good bike light. It was a good quality bike light. It was just a bike light. It was a bike light, but a really good bike light. It was a good quality bike light. Exactly. Like, you know, it's an NLA, it's near Silicon Valley.
Starting point is 00:31:10 Latest time. Yeah, latest, latest bike light technology. You just come out gold light. It was used with gold film, so thin you could pass light through it. And as we know, gold is the most valuable thing on earth. Especially if it's very thin. Very thin.
Starting point is 00:31:29 You know, he's very much. Same amount you would put, say, on a meal, didn't you? People like things that are gold. People like things that are thin. What's the most valuable thing? Thin. Are you working way too hard for way too little? There's never been a better time to consider a career in IT.
Starting point is 00:31:46 You could enjoy a recession-resistant career in a rewarding field, with plenty of growth opportunities and often flexible work environments. Go to mycomputercareer.edu and take the free career evaluation. You could start your new career in months, not years. Take classes online or on campus, and financial aid is available to qualified students, including the GI Bill. Now is the time, mycomputercareer.edu.
Starting point is 00:32:10 Fitting gold. Fitting gold. And I think that's fun, the class action. Right. Of the audience creative labor. It is, well, it's like all these wage theft cases that we're getting now, where it turns out companies have systematically underpaid their employees to the tune of $300 million over 10 years.
Starting point is 00:32:37 I wonder whether I'm owed any wages in that regard. Oh, because this was Woolworth's. Yeah, Woolworth's I worked for Dan Murphy's and I worked for Woolworth's. Yeah. Which are all owned by Woolworth's. Woolworth's is owned by Woolworth's. Yeah, Woolworth's. I worked for Dan Murphy's and I worked for Woolworth's. Yeah. Which are all owned by Woolworth. Woolworth's is owned by Woolworth's. Yeah, and BWS is all I work for them as well. Yeah, all around the chain.
Starting point is 00:32:53 That'd be great if I just got... Oh, if they hunt you down. They find me and give me $300 million. So this is, there'd be some sort of team who are like the good version of debt collectors. Hmm, right. Who... Or just debt collectors for me. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:09 It's hard to think of debt collectors as working on your side, but that could happen. Yeah, but you don't want to have to hire them. So what it does need to be is sort of a credit deliverer, right? Someone who will sort of mercilessly hunt you down through any fake IDs that you might have no matter your weird living arrangements, and they will make sure that you get your $38.70. That would be so.
Starting point is 00:33:39 That you are owed. I deserve that. Yeah. Or at least, you know, would like it. Yeah. $38.70, I could buy one meal with that. Well, this happened to me with my old bank account from I was with a credit union in Tasmania, and then I'd forgotten that I had an account with them
Starting point is 00:34:03 because I didn't have any money in it. But then they privatized, or they merged with some other company or something like that. And everybody got a share payout for being a member of the credit union. And then those shares were able to take them as cash if we wanted. I got $300. It's very nice. But just nothing. Like about that, that could stimulate the economy for a couple of days.
Starting point is 00:34:25 Oh yeah, it's simply stimulated in my economy. You know what I'm saying? Hello, I think that was at the time when you were probably living off of tax returns. Yeah. My own. My own. A backlog of tax returns that you hadn't claimed.
Starting point is 00:34:37 Yeah. So that you could take a year off teaching. This is how we drip feed information about our lives. It's true. We can construct our full identities over the years Yeah, you know seven years roughly so we've done this podcast. Well, it was a pretty big gap There was a big gap, but it wasn't as big as we think I think we think I think we thought it was three years or something Yeah, but I don't think there was a three-year gap
Starting point is 00:34:59 Right, there was like maybe a year maybe one year and then It was like maybe one year and then... Maybe another year. Well then there was like some episodes were much more speckled. Like there'd be one every three months or something like that. Yeah, yeah. I think we did a one-off for a comedy festival one year and that kind of thing. But then we got back into it and we haven't been able to stop ever since. Well also we were kind of contractually obligated to continue once we joined
Starting point is 00:35:23 Planet Broadcasting. I don't think we're contractually obligated to continue. I think we might assign something. No, we don't have to keep going. Yeah. But I think, but also it's one of the more joyous parts of our week. That's true. You can probably tell. Yeah, I guess if we wanted to stop, we'd have to quit.
Starting point is 00:35:41 Right? Yeah. Yeah. So we can't just slack off. But I guess that's like everything. That's like every job. You can't just come in sometimes. I don't want to quit.
Starting point is 00:35:51 I just don't want to come in all the time. Yeah. I just don't want to do it all the time. Can I do like a... Be great, so... I guess that's kind of a bit like what driving Uber is. Yeah, well, but then you're not an employee, you know, or just a... Whatever. Let's create the next thing that comes after this garbage... Yeah, well, but then you're not an employee, you know, just a whatever
Starting point is 00:36:09 Let's let's create the next thing that comes after this garbage After the gig economy gig economy, right, okay Everybody's working all the time. Yeah, okay, great But your brain is only in your body part of the time the rest of the time your consciousness Can log on to some kind of the time your consciousness can log on to some kind of holiday simulator. Yeah, okay. Great. So your brain can be elsewhere and this will be the thing, Alistair, when they do have artificial intelligence, right?
Starting point is 00:36:39 Why would they bother to build robots? Why not just implant artificial intelligence into our brains to run our bodies, which are basically robots anyway? And then our brains can go and play in some kind of computer game, our minds. This will be what the big companies do. Or it will socialize.
Starting point is 00:36:55 Yes, this will be what the big companies do, right? Because they're not interested in spending money to build infrastructure. That's a huge capital out there. What you want is to mail out people a chip that they stick up their nose. Yep. Right, and then they just takes over their body.
Starting point is 00:37:11 It just goes on either side of their nostril, like one of those bull horn, and that like one of those bull things, I don't know why. It just goes like that, just because you need both, you know. But it's also very symbolic, right, of the old bulls who would have been put to work, you know, those layering things, Alistair.
Starting point is 00:37:27 This is art. This is art. This is art. Symbolism, art, metaphors. Cows, this is like the beginning of modern times where they see the people walking and then you see the herds of sheep walking. And they're different.
Starting point is 00:37:41 They're, well, they're different, but they're also the same. Oh, right. You see what I'm saying? Charlie Chaplin, this is considered his greatest film. Modern times, imagery, symbolism, like that. We're just standing on the shoulders of, however tall that guy was. He was very short. Yeah. Have relatively short Hollywood people.
Starting point is 00:38:04 Artists standing on the shoulders of artists who were shorter than you think. Correct. But I think, but also, that still makes you look very tall, right? Like whenever I think about people who are seven foot, I'm like, well that's only a foot taller than me. Like I'm a foot taller than some people, and I'm not a giant. So this person is a foot taller than me. Like, I'm a foot taller than some people,
Starting point is 00:38:25 and I'm not a giant. So this person is a foot taller than me. They're not going to be that big, but then you see them and you're like, whoa, that is really tall. You know, and it's because we are only attuned to be in a certain, see people in a certain range of height. And as they get taller and taller,
Starting point is 00:38:42 it gets less and less common. And your brain really triggers when you see someone close to the end of the bell curve, it being like, fuck, even though they're no taller than me, than I am, than somebody who's that much shorter than I am. I mean, right now we hang out a lot with people who are roughly three to four feet shorter than us. Correct. And I never go, oh my God! Yeah. You're so small, and they never refer to me as a giant. But to them, I remember being that small
Starting point is 00:39:10 and seeing adults being that big, and I do remember thinking they are giant. My dad is the biggest person in the world. I don't remember that, but then I don't remember anything. But my dad was pretty big. You know, you're six two? Six two, you're dead six two. I was six two until about five years ago where he said He was six-two? Six-two, you're dad's six-two. He was six-two until about five years ago
Starting point is 00:39:26 where he said he was six-one, and like he had changed his mind on how old he was his whole life. How tall he was? How, what did I say? Old. How, yeah, how tall? Light about his height to get into dad's school.
Starting point is 00:39:39 Maybe, well, just yet to be accepted by me. Six-two, I guess it's like you just wanted to even numbers. I've written down AI controlled you. Well, so you, so your attention to your hours, you log your hours to, you know, or you just clock on and off whenever you want and then I'll use your body for whatever you'll come to, yeah, you can check in a pool of blood or something like that. And it turns out while you're out, you were a hit like in a pool of blood or something like that and it turns out
Starting point is 00:40:05 while you're out, you were a hit man and you murdered 18 people. I think that you can, I mean, look, that's great too. But that's fine. I think, yeah. No consequences for that. Because you weren't in the trolley about it. Yeah, yeah. And you can show them the, the logs. That's right. I mean, do you think that they can adapt the logs?
Starting point is 00:40:20 The problem with like digital logs is that they are pretty. Oh, no, they kept all in a book. They're not digital. Yeah, great. I'm really into that. Do we have a funny twist to this or is this just a genuine sci-fi idea? I think it'll be funny. Yeah. Yeah. I think the satirical element of it, you know, being a riff on the gig economy and that kind of thing. We'll get J.K. Simmons to play the boss. The boss. The boss.
Starting point is 00:40:50 The kind of the, the fake Zos. Yeah, the fake Zos. Man, he's got to play a Bezos, right? Oh, yeah. And. I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if he changes his name to J.K. Bezos. Well, just think the J and J.K. stands for Jeff Bezos. Yeah, that's true.
Starting point is 00:41:04 I forgot about that I think they mentioned that in no whiplash Really really they mentioned the actors day. Yeah, yeah, it was crazy. Yeah, it was good I liked that I was playing my favorite part of whiplash right it was apparently pretty good. Yeah, oh you haven't seen it No, oh, no, you gotta see it. Does that spoil it? Do you think if I know that yes? Is that them is that sort you think if I know that? Yes. Yes. Is that the sort of the twist at the end? No.
Starting point is 00:41:29 It's actually in the first scene. Right. It still spoils it though. Yeah, the whole movie. Oh, it's because it's like Tarantino where they show the end at the beginning. Oh, OK. But I didn't know whether you were talking
Starting point is 00:41:40 about the end of the story or the end of the movie. I think that's the difference between plot and story, which I've never, I've never understood. Carly's explained it to me 30 or 40 times. I don't know. I don't know. I, I saw David Mammut describe it by saying it's like a plot of a plane. It's like, you know, let's say, because, you know, like, so.
Starting point is 00:42:04 Maybe we've had this conversation in the past. I don't know, but let me just try and try. I try. And somebody can write in and try to help me understand it better and can correct it for me. But the story should have a definite beginning and a definite ending. So let's say your mom...
Starting point is 00:42:25 Tell us you guys' shops. Your mom dies and she's got a funeral. I'm kind of sorry. So we're not thinking about our parents dying. I mean, not to say my fun. Let's say, sorry, why am I moving your mic. Now, let's say your... Your...
Starting point is 00:42:41 Uncle. Your best... Ha ha ha ha ha. Your mom's best friend dies. Yeah, okay. Who was really important to you when you were young. Yeah. And you've got to make it to her funeral, right?
Starting point is 00:42:59 Right. To be there. So there's a beginning, the dying, and there's a definite ending, which is, and so, what you've got is this period of time that outside of the story, like, if this story won't exist, uh, whatever, I can't remember what I'm trying to say, but, so then you've got that, and so, you know where you've got to start, you know, you've got to end, and the plot is the bumps along the way, is like the, like, two points and then the sort of like all the little zigzaggy things that kind of inter- And the story is just the beginning in the end. All the narrative. God.
Starting point is 00:43:36 I don't know. Maybe it's the story just like, oh, you're anti-zing, you got to figure out the thing. Who knows, I don't know. Mammoth probably. Yeah, Mammoth probably does. If you're listening to David Mammoth, love, textus.
Starting point is 00:43:50 I love to see your work. I would love to. I would love to have seen any of your work. You've heard great things. But I probably won't. Oh man, one day I'll see that Glen Gary Glen Ross. It's a more than just that scene. Yeah. Always by watches. I think it's always by a b double you always by watches.
Starting point is 00:44:21 Have we got five sketch ideas? No we got four. We got four. Oh, that was a little phantom tick just there. No, well, that one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's nothing. You should have known that. That's okay. We can still come up with one more, I think. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:34 Uh, trusty, what about like a trusty steed? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Uh, well, this, this, uh, I think I was about to say another thing that we've actually already come up with, which is that but that but wheel that you have that you scoot around on. Yeah, okay. It's the modern day trusty Steve, but we've already come up with that idea.
Starting point is 00:44:56 Yeah, yeah. And then I was going to say something where you like buy people instead of horses, but then I realized that's just slavery. So I can't really, firstly, I can't take credit for it because it's already been invented. And secondly, I can't take credit for it because it's not really a good thing
Starting point is 00:45:13 that you necessarily take credit for. What's the thing that we could do to make rivers more, like to help rivers survive, that involve us all getting involved with rivers. Well, what if instead of rivers, which seems to be an inefficient use of water, right? Does it? Well, yeah, you need to have, like, you think about the river, right? There's, what does the river need to do?
Starting point is 00:45:40 It needs to keep the fish alive, basically, that are in the river, right? But then there's probably, like, per 10 meters of river, there's, that are in the river, right? But then there's probably like per 10 meters of river, there's maybe like one fish, right? And how much water does that fish really need? Maybe just about a bucket's worth, right? So what if instead of having a whole river, right? We just had people with buckets, right? Running up and down the dry riverbed, carrying fish, right?
Starting point is 00:46:04 And then you can take your fish over to meet somebody else's fish. You put them in the same bucket for a while to mate. And then you spray them. And then they spawn and one of you runs it back up the river or even just passes it to the next person. It creates jobs. And so we still have this flow of water taking place.
Starting point is 00:46:19 But the water is mostly stationary relative to the bucket, but the buckets are moving. Yeah. And then I think we could basically do, we could probably design a more efficient way of getting that water around and getting it where it needs to be and doing the things it needs.
Starting point is 00:46:35 Like a chairlift or something. A chairlift, exactly, right? And then we don't need to waste so much water actually having it in the river system when we can use that. What about like the plants? Like the plants and sort of things that are around. Well, then we'll organize some sort of automatic watering system for the plants, right?
Starting point is 00:46:51 Or maybe some of the people with the buckets have to put some water on the plants. But again, I don't think plants need the whole river to stay alive. I was going to say, what if everybody just goes and spits in the river once a week or once a day and Then think about you know, it's a tiny. Yeah individually. No, but but together. We're probably adding Giggle leaders. Yeah, well, this is like bees, you know making honey like an individual bee Doesn't even like makes our tiny fraction of a teaspoon over the quarter of a teaspoon over the course of its whole life Right and and and think of that right and then maybe humans can do can do that also
Starting point is 00:47:34 Maybe humans could invent maybe we could make some kind of honey like we might not have we have if we think about this Like a poop honey like a poop honey or even a spit honey. Yeah spit right if we're about this, like a poop honey, like a poop honey, or even a spit honey. Yeah, spit honey. Right, if we're spitting into stuff, who's to say that we can't concentrate that in some way? Well, let's say we don't know, because we've probably lost touch with it, the kinds of things that we could make as a hive. Mm. You know, what, what,
Starting point is 00:48:00 because we don't use our butt stuff, or our mouth stuff in the wild. There might be We put it into the toilet and we flush it away. Exactly. Like what could we make? We spit into the urinal when we're drunk, leaning over, and about to vomit. Yeah. And we flush it away. We flush it away. And we don't know whether or not that could create a web for catching prey or Or could build sort of intricately shaped walls to put our hands down. So we deposit our feces into a sort of a clay wall type thing and build an interconnected
Starting point is 00:48:35 series of nests. Because you know, you know, poo's gonna turn white over. Did human poo's do that as well? Or is that just dog poo's? Well, we don't know. We don't know. They're never given a chance. They're not.
Starting point is 00:48:48 This is a very two in the think tank idea, by the way. They're given a chance. And so white is a great color for a wall. Stucco. You know? Yeah. I do it in Greece. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:48:58 And so this could be the kind of things that you would build walls out of to make, to, you know, I think all the bad stuff in poop is brown. I think we have talked about making walls out of poop before. Constant locates shitting the episode with Jack Dries. Hmm. I thought that was just a non-stop stream.
Starting point is 00:49:15 That was a non-stop stream, but you would crawl around like a 3D printer and make walls and stuff with your constant stream. Yeah, we didn't say that you're white. That's true. Oh, we can stick to spitting. Yeah. Yeah, I think spit honey is a thing. Spit honey?
Starting point is 00:49:34 Yeah. Is the thing. But there was an earlier element of that. Wasn't there? I was into the river. Into the river, making, you know, replacing the river with a river of buckets and many hands. Oh, yeah, spitting into the river. Into the river, making, you know, replacing the river with river of buckets and many hands. Oh, oh, yes, spitting into the river. Yeah, you're right. I think the, I think a government campaign ad encouraging people to spit into the river, because I remember
Starting point is 00:49:59 there was, you know, the ones that seems silly now, but like when we were growing up, there was something about how, like, an ad about how dripping taps, a dripping tap over the course of the year, waste as much money, as much water as this many milk bottles, full of water, and they would show you all the milk bottles and so on. Similarly spitting into the river. That's the opposite.
Starting point is 00:50:21 And then a lot of people cross cross say the Swan Bridge in Melbourne, on their way to work in the morning. If every one of them leaned over and spat into the river, think what that would do. Yeah, with tourism. For tour, think about all the tourists that are coming here and we can get all of them on boats under that bridge. Well, I know, but also all the water that they're bringing from overseas.
Starting point is 00:50:40 Correct. That's a great way to, you know, to sort of increase the heft of the heft of our water system here in the shite. Spit pit. We got three words from a listener. Woohoo! Sorry about that noise. That's okay. I'm disappointed when you're not making it. Three words come from our Patreon listener. Bosco Bartolomo. Thank you Bosco. Thank you Bosco. As you know Bosco has become a three dollar supporter on Patreon. Support your supporter on Patreon and hence can, given these three words, are you ready?
Starting point is 00:51:22 Yes. What's your guess for the first one? Oh. Um, legitimize. Oh my god. Oh. Infinite. I feel like I was close. No, that wasn't close.
Starting point is 00:51:36 Oh, OK. Well, actually, infinity is the one thing that you can never get close to. Yeah. I was talking about it. It wasn't close at all. Yeah. You chose a single thing. Do you want to have a crack? I had chosen infinity. He could have been talking about a different infinity that's bigger. So I wouldn't have gotten it. But that would have been close. The next one?
Starting point is 00:51:59 Lossage? Oh Andy. Yeehaw. Okay. I'm the third one I'm gonna even, you wanna try? I was gonna start to study. You give it a first letter. I. Imp. It's inevitable. Oh fuck.
Starting point is 00:52:22 Infinite. Infinite. Infinite. Yeehaw. Oh fuck. Infinite infinite infinite yaha Inevitable hmm Okay Well, it sort of makes me think of cowboys obviously and it makes me actually think of the movie space cowboys There's a movie isn't forward forward. What about a mathematician cowboy? Yes.
Starting point is 00:52:47 Who? Who, um... A mathematician cowboy. Hmm. Yeah, okay. Because what he goes and he goes around. Yes? Round and up theorem.
Starting point is 00:53:02 Round and up numbers to the nearest integer. The H. The H through space. Yeah, well, it could be through space, but I do like the idea of like my cowboy mathematician who comes home to his wife after a long days you know, out there in front of a blackboard and talks about his day as if he is a cowboy round on up numbers.
Starting point is 00:53:33 It feels like a Sesame Street sketch. Yeah, that's fine. I think that's fine. We can come up with Sesame Street sketches. Sesame Street needs sketches. I mean, wouldn't you be impressed like if you managed to get a sketch on Sesame Street needs sketches. I mean, wouldn't you be impressed like if you managed to get a sketch on Sesame Street? Yes.
Starting point is 00:53:49 That'd be really impressed. I'd be really impressed by myself. Hmm. Um, are you do something with a lasu, I imagine? I don't know what yet. I mean, but that's what I guess helps to. Right, right. That's what he does with his blackboard.
Starting point is 00:54:04 Mm-hmm. And he rides a blackboard. Right. It's one of those little tripod shaped blackboards with the four little legs. Right. And he sits on top, be very uncomfortable. But he does ride it around. Yee-haw. All right. Round up. He calls it chalky. Or blackboard beauty, I'm not sure. And... I think blackboard beauty. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:34 Do you think we should try and get the sketch on Sesame Street? I think so. We just... We just... Right it up and just send it in. Yeah, I mean we've already got that one thing about rounding up numbers to the nearest integer. What do you mean? Rounding up. Rounding out numbers to nearest integer. Yeah. That's what we've got.
Starting point is 00:54:53 That's the joke. This one, yeah. Yeah. I mean, that's the one I'm talking about. Yeah, I know. That's all we've got. Yeah. That's the only joke we have so far is what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:55:01 No, but I mean, yeah, but that's all you need. It's a Sesame Street sketch. That's what I'm saying. No, but I mean, yeah, but that's all you need. It's a Sesame Street sketch. That's what that is what they do. They just hit that joke in as many different, from as many different directions as you can. Great. Yee-haw! Yeah, he says that a lot as well. I would love it if there was something more fractions integers decimals heard flocks
Starting point is 00:55:31 Square roots and I but you're explaining the idea of rounding up numbers to kids. You're absolutely right. It's all it is That's all it is. Why do I need another bun? Yeah, we can't we can't get a whole bunch of New idea mathematical concepts in there in an episode of one sketch Obsessively stream you're of course you're right. Okay, rounding up numbers. I'll list it. This is very good. Mm-hmm You're not thinking like Jim Henson Andy. Mm-hmm. Hi, whole. This is Mathematician cowboy here. No, I lost it. Hi, it's not a hole. That's not bad. Hi, hole. Again, you're very talented.
Starting point is 00:56:07 It's a Kermit. Hi, hole, it's just Kermit. D-frog here. It's good. All right, thank you. The best thing that I've already, I've got to stop saying I've already said these things on the podcast because.
Starting point is 00:56:20 Yeah. Because people are tweeting about it now. People are tweeting about their onto us, right? It's becoming our only recurring gag. But the emotion that Muppets are able to express with their hand holding the face scrunches up like that. And they scrunch in on themselves. It's an emotion that is unique to Muppets.
Starting point is 00:56:42 But it seems universal. Like whenever you see them do that, you're like, oh, I get it. Yeah, I know that feel like. I feel like. But it's not one that we could express anyway. I wish we could. Could turn our face sort of concave a little bit.
Starting point is 00:56:55 Ah. Ah. Yeah, maybe only Papa could do it. Yeah, I think his face was already a fair way to be concave. Yeah, you got to lose all your teeth in order to be able to express it. Anyway, thank you very much, boss go. Yes, stink with it, and think think think think think think think think think think think think.
Starting point is 00:57:14 Oh, when you see sketches. Think think think think, damn. Okay, we got the Bougroom Ferry slash the Bougler. And that's for Bougroom nights, the movie, where it's about, it's a time traveler from the future who uses the complex chemicals of the of the human body are used by scientists to make all sorts of wonderful things that allow us to keep alive for eternity and but it means that you have to spend your life sort of going around probably mostly, you know, collecting complex chemicals from things.
Starting point is 00:57:47 But we're also much smaller in the future. Yes. That allows us probably to live for longer because there's less cells and stuff like that too. Maintain. To maintain. Then we got the mega-nog, which is the drug. Intense eggnog. Intense eggnog, but it's a, it's so intense,
Starting point is 00:58:05 it becomes a drug that induces Christmas cheer, Christmas joy. And it is potentially going to lead us to get making a movie based on it with Christmas with the crank. But you know, that's down the line. Then we got the audience creative labor class action, and it's a class action to get Hollywood studios,
Starting point is 00:58:29 and possibly, you know, publishers of books to remove all ambiguity from films or fiction, where the audience has to do the work and figure out what it's supposed to be like, the light in pulp fiction. You know, whether or not the top stop spinning at the end of what it means. the top stops spinning at the end of what it means. That it does. At the end of what's that movie called? Inception. Inception. They could
Starting point is 00:58:51 have just let the camera run for another minute or so. Just to let us know. It's a fucking long film already. Wait, another minute's going to kill you. I feel like yeah, exactly. He could have just kept going and just let us see whether or not he's in that world. Stop why do I have to keep pondering? Then we got AI controlled you so your attention can be on holiday. That's when you can just sell your body, the AI controls it.
Starting point is 00:59:19 This was a thing also that I wanted to get into my science fiction story, that I read for Sci-Fi Try Guys, but I didn't manage to get in there. But you know how like you can get a, if your computer's buggy, you can get like the tech guys to take over your computer remotely.
Starting point is 00:59:31 I'd love people to be able to do that for like, you know, if the plumbing's broken in my house, right? Why can't I get a plumber's brain to like remotely take control? And then I can just fix the plumbing myself. That'd be great. And the plumber doesn't have to drive out. Mm. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:46 I mean, for them it would be great. Working from home like that. Yeah, I mean, this is another one of these great things that could turn into a film, you know, for a... But also, if anyone's desperate for sci-fi short stories, you can sign up to our Patreon right now. It's a couple of real crackers in the lightest episode. For the $8 tier, man, we could use the money.
Starting point is 01:00:10 Um. $8 tier is in heaven. Yeah. That's the, that's the, that's the, would you know my sofa story? If I saw you on Patreon, you would, you would. Um, then we got spit honey. That's what it is. Yes. That's, you know, you know what that is. River of buckets instead. Or river of spit.
Starting point is 01:00:34 Yeah, or river of spit. But, you know, we already got spit honey, you know. Yeah. Slash, look, I'll put slash spit to fix river systems. And the mathematician, cowboy rounding up numbers. It's our Sesame Street sketch. It's our first SS. And... Bums, bats, that would be the thing that I would like to say to you. To try what stays in the deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, I would say that we have to do the podcast and you had a real good time because we like making it for you at this time

You can find me on Instagram at a Trumply virtual Alistair's been doing some really funny drawings. Check him out. Yeah, I mean, I haven't been doing it for a little bit, but. But they were very, very good while you were doing it. There was a thing I was doing it for a bit called ATB, but worse.
Starting point is 01:01:36 I was on the other source. Oh, that was a different Instagram. Oh, that was a different Instagram. Oh, not on your regular Instagram. Yeah, I think the cutouts thing would be good to continue, but I just kind of ran out of Steam time a little bit or steam or whatever And you can review us on iTunes that helps apparently yeah helps us helps us exactly
Starting point is 01:01:56 But you know, maybe it'll make us more visible who knows yeah, maybe one day maybe in year eight or your seven We'll trend may go get to the top of new and noteworthy. Yeah, maybe we're about to try. We're older and newteworthy. Newteworthy. Old and newteworthy. Yes. Why is my salamander?
Starting point is 01:02:13 That's the witch thing, isn't it? Old and newteworthy. And we love you. This podcast is part of the Planet Broadcasting Network.
