Starting point is 00:01:08 And I wish you do want to talk about some of the other podcasts we've been on recently. Okay, we may as well get that out of the way. We've been on the match Stuart's primates. We've been on... We did most extreme primates about a, about a snowboarding chip. A snowboarding chip. We, we've been on book cheat. Correct. I'm out Lolita. Lolita, which is a book about a snowboarding
Starting point is 00:01:34 chev- your old. And, and we also went on, how do I rob this? That's right. It's a Sebastian and Oscar. So check all of those And we also went on, how do I rob this? That's right. It's a bastion in Oscar. So check all of those appears. Is it been released? I believe it is. Oh, I didn't feel like I was tagged and the thing
Starting point is 00:01:53 and I would have retweeted it. Maybe it hasn't been released. I don't know. Yeah, all right. Well, keep an eye out, either way. Yeah. And this is the show where we come up with five sketch ideas. That's right. That's right. out, other way. Yeah. You know? And. And, andt-Tomkins could do that. I'm sure. Ideally, our careers get to the point where we're doing so many appearances on other
Starting point is 00:02:34 people's podcasts. We don't have time to do our own podcast and we just bring it, cut it back to just like a nub, where we do a Harry's ad, plugs, for other podcasts, and then another Harry's ad, couple more plugs that we're out of here. It'll be the dream for everybody, I think. Correct. I think, you know, there's an L's there. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:57 You know, there's so many ads on TV. Yeah. That there are, there are, it's almost like you're watching ads with a little show break in between what I would like to do. So maybe this is a way I could get some stuff on TV, is buy 15 second ad spots. And then I'll make a short TV series. And I'll just broadcast it in those ad spots. That's a cool idea. A little nested little.
Starting point is 00:03:33 It's a great opportunity for you to pay to have your work broadcast, pay a huge amount of money. Well, at least then I'm establishing the relationship. You know, maybe I could get one of the, maybe when I'm ready, I could buy one of those feature length 45 second spots, get one of my films out there. Yeah. You know, after I build up to it.
Starting point is 00:03:57 Sort of, or like, or sort of like seven vines. Yeah. Oh, what a reveal Andy's taking off his big his big sailing jacket. 10 minutes into the show. Revealing my sort of woolen kind of sailors jumper. Sailors knit. I'm sailing on a sea of the sea of mind, on a mind sea. All right, we have to come up with sketch ideas. Yeah, all right. Well, what about my idea about buying ant space to get to... Let's see, there was a kind of one TV. It was kind of where I was going with that.
Starting point is 00:04:31 You seem pretty keen on it. So, what a pursuic further. Come on! I mean, it seems like what is... It's like that a version of the, you know, that cigarette gag that's in fifth element, where there's a lot of filter and just a little bit of cigarette. It's like that for with just ads. With just ads, hey, I've got a different idea
Starting point is 00:04:49 than Alistair. I don't like my idea anymore. So she started saying relevant things. I'm over it. I thought of something else. What about this, right? You know the board game Trivial Pursuit. I'm very familiar.
Starting point is 00:05:03 But this is my problem with Trivial Pursuit. I'm very familiar. But this is my problem with Trivial Pursuit. It only asks questions about existing knowledge, the existing body of knowledge. It's facts that already, we know the answers. Yeah. What if I don't, but yeah. Yeah, what if it's non-trivial pursuit, right? And all the questions are things like
Starting point is 00:05:22 that are as yet unsolved mysteries. Okay. Right? And if you want to get the point, you've got to solve the mystery in order to be able to move you. So there could be all, there's different categories. Good enough to get in.
Starting point is 00:05:35 You know, there could be crime. Right? So you're all the dice, you're all up crime and the question is who did the Jack the Ripper murder? Murderers. Jack the Rapper. Mal. Jack the Ripper murders.? Yeah. Jack the Rapper. No.
Starting point is 00:05:46 Jack the Ripper murders, right? And then you're like, all right, and you go out and you spend, I don't know, how many, 18 years, trying to get to the bottom of it, you solve the Jack the Ripper murders, you come back. You get a piece of pie. You get a piece of pie. Oh no, you don't get a piece of pie
Starting point is 00:06:01 unless you're on a pie square. Oh yeah, that's just to get another role. You get another role. And so it's a game that could sort of take, you don't get a piece of pie unless you're on a pie square. Oh yeah, that's just to get another roll. You get another roll. And so it's a game that could sort of take, you know, 100 years. Generations. Yeah, generations to complete. Yes. And it's like, instead of feuding families or feuding, what are they called in Scotland
Starting point is 00:06:17 there, if I can tell the truth? Clans? Clans, you know, you just have feuding sort of pie pieces. Pie pieces. Pie things. And I think, you know, there could be questions, you know, what just have fuding sort of pie pie pieces. I think so And I think you know, they could be question, you know, what is the Hubble constant? What is the exact value of the Hubble constant? Like being there in the science section? I reckon that you know, so that you'd maybe get rid of some of them You change some of those some of the sections
Starting point is 00:06:38 Maybe the Geography one there's not so many mysteries in geography are there mysteries in geography? Sure Yeah, I mean, I thought I'm sure I'm sure with not so many mysteries and geography. Are there mysteries and geography? Sure. Yeah. I mean, I thought, I'm sure I'm sure with, you know, with like specifics, you know, like what is the exact height of K2? You don't think somebody knows that? I don't know. I just, I feel like, you know, some,
Starting point is 00:07:00 I feel like there's probably, you get, you send a few people up there, you pump again a different value every time. Probably. Yeah. Is that how you would test the height of K2? You would send somebody up there.
Starting point is 00:07:13 You get different people up there. What with a tape measure or something? I get one of those like things, whether you look through the hole, like a surveyor. Yeah, a kaleidoscope. Yeah. Is there any serious uses of Chloe? Okay, so what was an idea? Non-trivial pursuit.
Starting point is 00:07:29 Okay, yeah. I like this. So, a board game for expanding the sum total of human knowledge. And importantly, it's a fun evening with your friends. Yeah, fun, so many evenings. So, you know, you get to like, you got to pick a good group of people because if there's people in there that you don't like. Mm.
Starting point is 00:07:48 I mean, look, I feel like this could be the backbone of a film. Or there are. I'm a teen part series. Yes. Broadcast during the ads. I'm sport on TV. And you pay.
Starting point is 00:08:00 Yes. $45,000 per second. That's a great idea. There might be a way we could work it. Maybe we could sell ad space during our 15 second ad, right? Which is a couple of one second ads in there. We'll work the math. Kevin.
Starting point is 00:08:19 That was that, what was that in that part? I was an ad for Kevin something. Yeah, Kevin. You got tune in next I was an ad for Kevin's something. Yeah, Kevin. You got tune in next week to find out what Kevin's selling. Yeah, or you know, I guess you could, maybe in the next ad space, you could have another thing. I feel like that's basically what they did with those yoga riller ads.
Starting point is 00:08:36 You know, the yoga ads that we used to have here, which were those little stop motion things, where there was like a story with a gorilla and a snake and a lizard and stuff. I used to love those. But I think they did more than just Kevin. No, no, no, I'm saying they were almost like my idea of the little film, little story during that.
Starting point is 00:08:55 Yeah. And maybe that's most deads. That's a lot of deads. Yeah, like you know, our friend Xavier Michael Edy's is in a series of sort of sports bed ads that seem to have lots of little stories in them. You were in a kind of a bunch of ads for the hat, can I have a look at a continuation of the story? I'm sorry, a little story.
Starting point is 00:09:15 I always want to try and watch Xavier's ads, because I see them on the pop-up before things in my feed on Twitter. And so I always click on my sounds, always down, I click the sound on, try and watch the ad. But then you can't rewind the ad to watch the ad. You can rewind the film, but once you've seen the ad, I don't let you see it again. This is the... I wonder if you can go to the sports bed,
Starting point is 00:09:41 have a YouTube page where you could just watch the... Oh man, this is great advertising for advertising. For advertising. Yeah, and for this betting. Try advertising. That is good. Have you thought of advertising? But they do have those ads on the radio and things like that.
Starting point is 00:09:59 But they're always specifically for radio ads. Yeah, I do like an ad for advertising. Ad ad. I mean, you know, I guess could it be that the first people who came up with advertising, we go back, because madmen, right, was already about advertising already existed. Yeah, that was the golden age advertising. So we could do like a little origin story.
Starting point is 00:10:24 The bronze age. The bronze age. Well, the stone age. The stone age of advertising. So we could do like a little origin story. The bronze age. The bronze age. The stone age of advertising. Yeah. And and I mean once you've had once once some people have have a pro so what happens in an episode of So what happens in an episode of Whatever madman for this one Stone Age madman. Yeah But they're not they're not it's not set in caveman times It's just the stone age of advertising which is actually probably way before cavemen Stone Stone Age. Yeah, no, no, no, I think Sorry, no, I think, yeah. I know. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:11:07 No, I'm sorry. It could be done in the Enlightenment. Right. So, but so what happens? Some people have a product. Yeah. Right. And they don't, they want people to know about the product.
Starting point is 00:11:20 Yeah. Or they want more customers. Yeah. And so they go along to just a sort of a general company that doesn't specialize in anything at all. Yeah. I like that idea, by the way. That's basically what Yamaha is, I feel. A company, just a company. It's a company. Yeah. I mean, over time, they kind of started doing things. And so now you consider them a company that does this and that. Sure. But when they started out there in their most pure form, they were like the stem cell
Starting point is 00:11:48 of a company, yet to specialize to become a long company or a liver company. Somebody kind of put them close to a recorder and they went, oh, they turned into a recorder company. Is that how that happens with stem cells. I think so. I think there's an element of that where you put stem cells in with the lungs and then it goes, oh, okay, I'm a lot more.
Starting point is 00:12:14 What are we doing? They're just sort of bandwagon. They just keep jumping on board. Yeah. Yeah, they're real posers. Right. But then they're kind of like, but then they commit, you know, and they stay there for enough years that you go, okay, you're a local now.
Starting point is 00:12:29 Mm-hmm. Yeah. Sure. I think so, you know, some people make that criticism of Tom Whates and Bob Dylan, actually, I think like people might have criticized him early on for sort of his style of seeing was a bit affected, you know, he was trying to do a particular type of voice that wasn't perhaps his natural voice, but I don't think people make that criticism of Bob Dylan anymore. I mean, it's like, maybe it can't be bothered. Exactly. I think a lot of people don't remember that he
Starting point is 00:12:54 had another voice. Yeah, he just, you just hang around long enough. Yeah. Will your critics die or lose their memories? Yeah, that's correct. If I told you my theory, we had something there. We were talking about looking always go back. But my theory that people, what they want is respect, right? When they do art or in any kind of work, right? But then trying to make something that is worthy of respect can really block you because then suddenly everything you write you go Oh, this is not gonna be worthy of respect. And so you can't really get past that writing part
Starting point is 00:13:35 And so I think what you got to do is you just got to output garbage Just allow yourself to just output garbage for years and years and years Right and then when you're 20, 25 years in and you're still outputting garbage, people will look at that and go, you gotta respect that. What the volume of garbage? I mean, he kept going despite non-stop garbage, you know? And there's your respect. Yeah. And you didn't have to learn anything. despite non-stop garbage, you know?
Starting point is 00:14:05 And there's your respect. Yeah. And you didn't have to learn anything. I didn't have to compromise on anything because you had nothing to compromise on. It was garbage from the start. Exactly. You think that people would be like,
Starting point is 00:14:18 I kind of like these old garbage better. Well, I think in the volume, people are gonna find stuff that they like. Mm. But it'll be that they like. Hmm. But it'll be the early stuff. Maybe. Probably be the stuff that were there were young. Mm-hmm. I like your old stuff.
Starting point is 00:14:34 I-I-I-dis. I like his middle-aged stuff better. The stuff that was not the new stuff, not the old stuff, just the stuff that's kind of, yeah. I did-I disliked his early garbage less. Like if you could have an over, you know, your body of work, that is all crap, right? But people like within on its own terms,
Starting point is 00:15:01 if the critics could just meet you on your own terms, and I only review you in the context of your own work, then they might be able to say which bits of garbage were better or worse than the other bits. The problem is people comparing you to other things produced by people who weren't exclusively writing garbage. Exactly. Yeah. And so you've got to say, like, this is what I make, and this is the universe in which you've got to judge this in.
Starting point is 00:15:33 You've got to ignore the history of art and the history of the world. I guess maybe in the future we'll be able to publish our work only in selected parallel dimensions. You know, like, you know, when we develop that sort of pan dimensional technology, you'll be able to go to your publisher with whatever crap you've written, and they'll say to you, well, look, this is bad in 98% of all known dimensions, but we've actually managed to find a couple of pocket dimensions, where this would be considered sort of just run of the mill. We'd grow there, you know, like a bit of stocking, fella, or something, maybe an airport book.
Starting point is 00:16:15 Yeah. And then you'd be able to sell it to them, maybe go and do some riding tours there if you could get through the portal. Unfortunately, you wouldn't ever get the respect there, because your stuff is so middling. But then they found another dimension where that level of respect is actually considered high praise.
Starting point is 00:16:35 So if you can then somehow translate that across, we'll take the esteem that you've got from one dimension to another, it's hard to transfer a steam across dimensions, but they might be able to find a way to do it as well. I like the idea of a career you're being able to find, because we talk about the people who are born, you know, in some third world country, who never even see a piano, right? Who could be the greatest pianist on earth. Yeah. Let's see, what are you gonna say? I was just, I was like, of course we do talk about that
Starting point is 00:17:11 all the time. We talk about it all the time, right? Yeah. But they could be the greatest pianist on earth. Well, what about the people who have been playing, who are born in a first world country, see a piano at a really young age and play all their lives, but are never very good.
Starting point is 00:17:28 In a similar sense, they never got to visit the dimension in which their mediocre piano playing is considered fantastic. And I think that's an equal tragedy and of lost potential, lost potential for them to meet the people who standards are sufficiently well considered them, aginius. And when we get the dimension jump technology, I will start a foundation to raise money to allow media, media-ocur artists to visit dimensions where they're considered very good.
Starting point is 00:18:06 Well, you know what you could do in this regard is you could just fund communities where the idea of pianos isn't allowed in. Yes. You can make the parallel dimensions that you want. You can make them. I mean, this place where this person had never seen a piano. It's not
Starting point is 00:18:24 that far to imagine. Hard to imagine that maybe they've never heard one. Yes. And that, assuming these communities have money, yeah, would be the best place to tour a piano show for a person who is not very good at the piano. You're right. Why am I spending all my time trying to imagine parallel dimensions where people don't know what's considered good piano when we could make that right here on Earth. That's right. So, we're wanting to go to the Mars, you know, to make that liveable when we've got the
Starting point is 00:18:54 planet, we've already got planet Earth. Exactly. I mean, expert level piano playing, that's for people who are experts at listening to piano. I wonder if this is now feeling very close to an idea that we came up with about eight or 12 podcasts ago where when you go to a new planet, you get to decide what's good,
Starting point is 00:19:14 you get to establish at the beginning. Well, no, what is it? But this isn't slightly different take on it, isn't it? Well, no, because what you're doing is you're going to place, you're creating markets or you're finding markets, which allow more garbage people to thrive. Correct. You know, it's, there's so many musical people who come out of university having studied music degrees who are fine, but they're not going to make it in the competitive markets like New York City and other musical markets. I don't know Berlin. Well, maybe we could also do a kind of a reverse talent search, right?
Starting point is 00:19:52 Where it's the... you know, it shows like the voice or something like that, where there's a person on stage and we get them to sing and then the judges tell you whether or not that's good. What about this? It's a talent show where we get people on stage, right? We get and they have a range of different levels of ability. We get them to sing or whatever it is that they do and then it's the audience that we test. Because we know how good the people are on stage, right? Then we test the audience. We ask them, do you think that's good? Do you think this is good? And then we can slowly find the people in the audience who think that bad things are good. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:29 Right? And then maybe once we've got those, then we can get them all together onto say a new island that we build in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. And then that's the perfect touring destination for our lack of talent show. And I mean, it's a beautiful idea. And I just, I don't know how we get these people to move their families or whatever. We get them.
Starting point is 00:20:56 Oh, it's right in the house. We get them to fill in some kind of permission, slip some, you know, release form when they're appearing in the audience that says things like, oh, you were consent to appearing on camera if you're, you're an audience shots. And then on like page 18, it says, and we can take you and your family to an island in the middle of the world. Where you have to now live. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:16 And we can drug you. Yes. That's great. Yeah. Creating markets for the less talented. Well, and then we'll compartmentalize humanity, right? Not based on, you know, outdated and frankly, you know, offensive criteria like race or something like that, right?
Starting point is 00:21:34 We'll move people around based on taste, right? And each planet, each continent, can have one of the different orders of taste of people living on it. We'll have one to eight rank taste in that way. And then we'll know people who think things that are, I mean, basically Australia is probably a place where already most people don't know what's good. Right? We think crap is good. Maybe this has already happened. Do you think Europe is just the place where people know what's good? And Australia is the place. Oh, they have already done that and it's called Australia.
Starting point is 00:22:13 Oh, no! Oh, yeah, they took all the uneducated, I don't know if they were uneducated. Criminalism. Oh, well, that's exciting. Well, I'm going to get some non-award winning penists and start touring them around to regional, no, small councils, art centers. I mean, it's kind of Andre Roo's thing, I suppose. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:44 He sort of managed to. Okay, but he had spectacle. He had spectacle, it's kind of Andre Roo's thing, I suppose. Yeah. He sort of managed to. Anybody had spectacle? He had spectacle, that's true. You can't deny that. He had a replica of a palace of Versailles. I think of St. Peter. And he would only do like the little bits. The good bits.
Starting point is 00:22:58 The good bits of St. Peter, why not? The four good notes from Rackinoff's 18th concerto. Yes! Oh, what's the good bit of the major scale? After that, it's a mess. It gets to me. It's all filler after that. This is such an awesome idea, but the idea that whoever came up with the octave, they only had two or three good notes in them. Then after that, these are the garbage
Starting point is 00:23:35 notes. I wonder, I think there are probably some musical theorists who are really pure and maybe a little bit insane, who already have this theory, right? Like that, that there are a few notes that are good and then the rest are kind of... I don't know. Wait, because what is it? It's tone, tone, semi-tone, semi-tone, tone, some like that. Or tone, tone, semi-tone, tone, semi-tone, some like that. I don't know what you're saying.
Starting point is 00:24:01 So like, because you know, there's like 12 notes, right? And then the major scale is like, so first it's a tone, which means that you're skipping one note and then going to the one. Don't brush the microphone with your sleeve. Why? You're right. I'll just take off.
Starting point is 00:24:19 I'm trying to control you. I'll just put on and take off big, wooshy jackets instead. Oh, I'll stay. Hello, you off big wooshy jackets instead. Oh, I'll let's do it. Hello, you made Hollywood onto that one. Well, I very love because you already let it out the scene. You first thought it. So there's like, there's 12 tones or semi-tones that add up to whatever.
Starting point is 00:24:40 And then when you skip one tone, you won semi-tone, then you do a whole tone. So it's two, I can't do six. Well, I can't understand it either. So, you know, we're by your banjo player, right? But you're a banjo player, right? Yeah, yeah, I am. Yeah. Do I tell you about this that when I first bought the banjo?
Starting point is 00:24:58 Mm-hmm. Well, when I can't really first gave me the banjo. Yeah. I look, I watched a video online about learning banjo and the guy said, it's handy to have a harmonica because a harmonica is a great way to work out the notes in the song and then you can transfer that to the banjo. So before I even played my banjo, I went and bought a harmonica. And I realized I didn't know how to play the harmonica either. And I'd already doubled, like in my attempt
Starting point is 00:25:26 to learn the banjo, I'd already doubled the number of instruments that I didn't know how to play. I'd gone backwards 100% on the first day. Just trying to find this. You're googling something. No, I'm just... You're looking up the tone, tone, tone, tone, tone, tone. I'm trying to find a keyboard.
Starting point is 00:25:44 Yeah, do you reckon we could get this as like a, um, with this guy viral as a tweet, right? Yeah. Um, it's tongs, right? We get pictures, we get some tongs from the up shop, right? And we, um, and we break some of them in half, right? So we have a full pair of tongs and then we have half a tongue. Oh, we have two full pairs of tongs and then we have half a tongue. Oh, we have two full pairs of tongs and then we have half a tongue.
Starting point is 00:26:06 And then a full tongue. And half a semi-tonged. Two semi-tonged tongs. Am I just saying that again, moral? I don't know if it would. I don't think it goes as good as our two guys dressed as Fred Durst. Yeah. And then getting a photo where we're looking back with our butts in...
Starting point is 00:26:26 In shot? Yeah, and then... And then we say, Durst trap. I love that it's also, it's two guys dressed as Fred Durst. Yeah. Not just one. No, no, two guys. Durst trap.
Starting point is 00:26:42 If we could be by a pool that'd be even better. Sss. Beautiful blue water. A bit of the major side of new comedy show in a couple of years called Dress to trap. We've got the name, we've got the poster sorted out. Now all we got to do is write the content. That's going to write itself with a concept like that, with a clear concept. Clear concept, it's about two people trying to lure people in who love Fred Durst. Yeah, to like. Also, who kind of love Fred Durst for his butt.
Starting point is 00:27:19 Well, that's, that's the trap. Is it? Yeah, you'll lure him with the butt, but then you get him with the face. Making it a dust trap. Yeah, great. It's a but is, it's a person who's a but is face. But is face.
Starting point is 00:27:38 Like a top bug? No, no, no, like, you know, good butt but his face. Oh, I haven't heard that. People often refer, I mean, it's a thing in high school people say a butter face. Hmm. But this is, yeah. It's not nice. No.
Starting point is 00:27:56 It's not nice. I mean, is there any way that could be rotating? What about, I think that's going to come back? What about a butter's hands? Yeah. Okay. Great. Okay. Great, but beautiful face. Beautiful face.
Starting point is 00:28:11 But his hands. But his hands. I mean, is there a but his word? But us. What? Butterscotch. Butterscotch. This is how you criticize,
Starting point is 00:28:23 this is how you criticize a man's taste and whiskey. Oh, you know, he's a bit of a butter scotch. What do you mean? Well, beautiful face. Beautiful face. Stunning us. Stunning body. And you should see his hands.
Starting point is 00:28:41 Oh, amazing. Testicles like a race horse. Butterfingers. Butterfingers, that's what you want, right? But you want that S so that it could be a his. But it could be a girl, right? And there's no such thing as a girl. Certainly not one who's going to be judged
Starting point is 00:29:04 on some aspect of her body. Hey, yeah. I can't, I just can't accept that out of all our sketch ideas, in which we can't help but intrinsically just put men in all the characters. Yeah. You would choose to put a woman in the character where we're judging there up here. Well, I'm so working so hard to avoid it. Alistair, but the pun works better. I know, but I don't care about the pun. And I think objectification is forgivable only when it's for a good pun. And by good,
Starting point is 00:29:36 I mean, not in this universe, in a parallel universe, where mediocre puns are considered. I mean, butters fingers. Butters. I think the audience, I think the listeners are really, um, he's a bit of a enjoying this. Butterscotch. Butterscotch. Butterscotch. Butterscotch.
Starting point is 00:30:01 Did you say butterscotch? Yeah, you know great face spectacular body elbows, fingers, mmm. Butterscroch. But but but his crotch. Butterscroch. Alistair, I want to tell you a personal story, right? So a personal story of about who? Yeah, about me. Yeah. The best kind of personal stories I find, the ones about the person talking. Making it personal and taking it public. That's right. Yes. That tricky managing that transition.
Starting point is 00:30:37 Last night, Alistair, I shaved. I shaved my, with my Harry's razor and I had a great time. And then I realized that I had a call back for an ad today that had asked me not to change my appearance and here I was shaving off my beard that they'd seen me audition in. And what this could mean, I mean, it's fingers crossed things go well, I get the ad anyway, but what this could mean is that by shaving with Harry's razors, I've cost myself several thousand dollars. But that's how addictive it is.
Starting point is 00:31:09 That's not only, Alistair, you're absolutely right. That's how addictive it is shaving with Harry's raises. That's how good it feels, right? It didn't even matter to me. That's right. It didn't even matter. It won't bother you. I was happy.
Starting point is 00:31:22 I still feel like I've made a profit on the entire arrangement arrangement And I probably have because of the amount of money that I save by going with Harry's subscription That's right. And if you had two thousand dollars, you would probably spend another two thousand dollars I would have just said it to Harry's anyway. Yeah, or just burned it for just for the right to shave again with Harry's razor. Correct. And that is, you know, it's no skin off my nose. It's no skin off anywhere. No. Because Harry's their precision engineered blades,
Starting point is 00:31:54 I never gonna take any skin off anywhere, just take off the hair down to the root. That's right. The root. Down to the root. Well, we've talked about this. You know, the effect you get, the level of smoothness
Starting point is 00:32:05 Smoothness is as if the blade is covered in millions of tiny hands which reach to the very base of each follicle and rip out their hair Without the stump without the feeling of that without any of the agony. It feels like nothing at all It's it's almost like doing nothing. It is. It is. But getting everything. Yeah. Everything you've ever wanted. With the joy of achievement. Anyway, today's episode is brought... Well, actually, last week's episode is brought to you by Harry's Razors,
Starting point is 00:32:33 but I forgot to do the ad. So this week is brought to you by Harry's Razors. Thank you. And thank Harry's. And we're going to be talking about this a little bit later in the program. Oh, I got a lot more to say. To tell you a bit more. This is just the 15 second bit of the top.
Starting point is 00:32:54 What were we talking about before this? Was that anything? Yeah, good bit of the major scale. Oh, good bit of the major scale. What a great. Yeah, that's a good bit. I'm going to use that in my standup show that I'm going to do. What do you think of They're really good.
Starting point is 00:33:06 You know the major scale you go, I mean, that's the only bit you really need to hear because that's the best bet. After that, it's just garbage notes. Do you think like originally, it probably was supposed to have 10 as well, right? It was probably supposed to have 10 notes in the major scale. It's like something they already dropped to the top. Obviously. There's 12, there have ten notes in the major scale. It's like so, you think they already dropped. Obviously. There's twelve, there's twelve so many tones. Oh.
Starting point is 00:33:28 I don't understand the scale. What's the eight then? That's just the octave. Yeah, so that's there's... That's different? A. That's different to the major scale. No, that is the octave.
Starting point is 00:33:39 The octave is the scale of notes. It doesn't octamine eight? Yeah. But you're saying there's twelve. Well, I'm saying, so you know the piano when you do the major scale, you're not, when you're doing this C major scale. This is the black keys. There's the black keys that you're not hitting. And then they part of the scale. They're part of the amount of notes that are available to you. Right. Right. So if you weren't playing a different scale, not the C major scale, you are going to use
Starting point is 00:34:07 some of those black notes. Because you're still doing that tone, tone, semi-tone, tone, tone, tone, semi-tone. Are you working way too hard for way too little? There's never been a better time to consider a career in IT. You could enjoy a recession-resistant career in a rewarding field, with plenty of growth opportunities and often flexible work environments. Go to MyComputerCoreer.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
Starting point is 00:34:41 the GI Bill. Now is the time, mycomputercareer.edu. Oh, whatever like that. So a scale can have any number of notes in it. No, it has eight notes in it. It has eight notes in it, but not necessarily eight keys. No, it has eight keys. Yeah, yeah, it has eight keys. So this, every scale has eight.
Starting point is 00:35:04 Well, I don't know the major scales I don't know one. I don't know if anything about Eastern scales. I know about the major scale I know about the minor scale. Yes, right and I'm just saying so like there's 12 notes available to you. Yeah on in Between between C and then the other C. Okay. Okay. Okay. Including the tones and the semi-tones. And the... They're all, well, they're like, they're all semi-tones. They're all, like, so if you were to play each note that's next to each other. If you're gonna go C and then C sharp,
Starting point is 00:35:33 the black note, and then D. D. Then D, right? That's three notes. I think I'm really coming across as a guy. And it'd be like, it stands music. I know that day. Mm-hmm. No, I'm just doing major scale again.
Starting point is 00:35:48 I can't remember how to do a semi-tone, but wait. So wait, there's like, don't, don't. Semi-tone. So it goes, do do do do do. Wait, so, oh my god. Do do do do do. OK, I'll try it outside Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da I think I saw again there are tards and savvietites right I get it. I think I understand there's I and this 12 Yeah Yeah, I mean look that didn't help with that musical interlude there. I couldn't even
Starting point is 00:36:37 You know, I think you're a musical genius. That's not in any way true It's not in any way true. You're just You're just the universe in which you're the universe in which knowing a tiny amount seems amazing. Yes, correct. By in my world, you are a musical genius. I'm sorry that makes you uncomfortable. Oh, hugely. I don't know anything. I don't know anything, Andy. I don't know anything. Anyway, we can move on from that. You know, what can we talk about? Dog adoption websites.
Starting point is 00:37:23 My wife, Callie, is looking at a lot at the moment. I don't quite want to get a new dog right now. I'm worried that if we do, it will kill our children. She's quite king. And then you would get rid of the cat? No, we'd get a dog that is cat friendly. Okay. Right. Um, you'll let the dog get rid of the cat. That's right. Takes care of itself. Um, I mean, is there a, is there a, um, you know, old woman who swallowed the fly,
Starting point is 00:38:03 kind of version of that, but just with with adoptions with pet adoptions, right? like you know you you have a you have a cat the cats tearing up the curtains. It's just drawn from life right and and then you're like well let's just adopt a dog that lashes out. That cats when they miss a head. That cats and this problem will take care of itself.
Starting point is 00:38:30 We're trying to use basically the cane-toed theorem for domestic control, right? Maybe we got the cats to keep the rats under control. Yeah. Right, the cat to keep the mice under control. And is that working? Yeah, yeah, haven't seen any mice. Well, we found one.
Starting point is 00:38:46 We came home one day. Kali put the baby down on the floor, turned around, and turned back, and the baby was crawling towards a dead mouse in the middle of the floor. And the baby would have put the mouse in its mouth. Yeah, and would it have had poison in it? No, it would have been killed by the cat. So the cat have poison in it.
Starting point is 00:39:04 Yeah, it's a poison to cat. Yeah, great. That's how it kills the mice. Correct. Yeah, it's scut thanks. It's venomous. I'm so sorry. I'm, look, continue with your idea.
Starting point is 00:39:13 So then the cat, the dog, you get the dog. And then the dog's doing other stuff. You know, it's jumping on the couch or whatever. Balleting on your bed. Balleting on your bed, because it's blind and confused. Yeah. And then you, uh, But when you're back because it's blind and confused. Then you, uh, you, you get some other animal. Well, what's the animal that I think is important for the bit? Yeah, yeah, maybe an octopus.
Starting point is 00:39:36 Right, like a big octopus. Yeah, so I mean, the octopus is a hard one because it doesn't really go online that much. No, but sometimes you see them scuttle out from a rock pool or something and grab a craft. I mean, octopus is a hard one because it doesn't really go on land that much. No, but sometimes you see them scuttle out from a rock pool or something and grab a crab and drag it back into the water. It's just hard to see an octopus really succeed over a dog on land.
Starting point is 00:39:56 But I mean, if the dog was in water, great, okay, so we just flood our house, right? And we release an octopus. And is this so that you can live with a dolphin and you can occasionally have to tug it off, I think? We're making some deep cut references in this story. So a weird story about that garbage train of thought. Okay, yeah, but no, but like, okay, so let's say a dog,
Starting point is 00:40:18 what about a big snake? Sure. You know, like a boa constrictor. Yeah, or a Komodo dragon. Komodo dragon. Big lizard. Yeah., like you're one of like a boa constrictor. Yeah, or a commoto dragon. You know, a big lizard or something like that. And then if it's a snake, you could go to a quite a large mom goose maybe. Mm.
Starting point is 00:40:32 But if it's a commoto dragon, I don't know whether it feels like it's an apex predator. Mm. Yeah, yeah, I think you're right. I don't think many things take on the commoto dragon. Except maybe disease or climate change. No, well then, yeah, maybe. So Komodo Dragon.
Starting point is 00:40:46 Yes. And hopefully that doesn't attack your kid. And then a disease. Yeah. Okay, but then what do you do to get rid of the disease? Mm. Mongoose. Mm, mongoose.
Starting point is 00:41:01 I guess I mean, you know, you could have a Wallaby, one of those Wallabies that has like milk that has antibiotic properties. Or the a kidna that has all that antibiotic stuff under its force. Under its force. Yeah. And so then what are you doing? You're trying to get this a kidna to rub its force. It's like it's sort of wet penis tip onto the disease.
Starting point is 00:41:23 Yeah, the disease. I guess inside the dead body of the the comododragant. So I guess we'd probably have to dress up the corpse of the comododragant as a sexy female, a kidna. Mm-hmm. Can't be that hard, right? No, I think it's actually really easy.
Starting point is 00:41:39 Put some spikes on it or whatever. Yeah. And then the kidna, he's up there, he's rubbing his foreskin all over it. I mean, if you could make it look like a bunch of sort of female kids. Like an orgy. Yeah. A bunch of presenting, yeah, female kidnob.
Starting point is 00:41:59 Let's just Google. You know, presenting female, a kidnapile costumes for my Commodo dragon. There's a lot of stuff on the internet. I'm sure we'll find something. Yeah, but then that's the problem is that you'll you'll look for that.
Starting point is 00:42:15 And then that's all that'll show up in my Google search terms. That'll be a problem. But also then you'll probably just find the sexy version of that for humans. Right. So you'll look like a Komodo dragon that's been dressed up
Starting point is 00:42:31 like a bunch of, you know, a female a kidniz. But like, and then my boss is who's looking over my shoulder at work, sees that on my computer screen, you know, calls me into her office to say, to confront me about it. And I think I'm gonna get fired, but then it turns out that that's what she's really into. Oh yeah, I thought that's what I was gonna wear to the Halloween party.
Starting point is 00:42:58 Oh, okay. You're fired. You're fired, no she goes there. But look, I found this other thing which is a, it's an elephant carcass that's been dressed up to look like a... Like, lactating platypuses. Yeah, and then you go, okay, well then I'll look like I'm lact... Because they lactate onto their fin or whatever, they've got like, they don't have nipples
Starting point is 00:43:20 or platypuses. Yeah, it just oozes out. Yeah. Some sort of... You got to lick it off the plate. And They've got like a plate or something like that. Really? No, I don't know. No, they don't have a plate.
Starting point is 00:43:29 I don't know. They might be a bowl. Do you think this is the worst train of thought we've ever been? It's been a pretty messy episode. I got a dent, but, um, all right. I thought that, you know, I only have two coffees this morning, then I had a decaf and I thought that'll melo me out. You know, I'll be able to.
Starting point is 00:43:50 Why do you have so many coffees at home? Because I make, we have this big thing, stove top coffee thing, and I make a big thing. It's six cups, it makes six cups of coffee in it. I know, but they say, they say six cups, but it's like like is it we have a coffee maker that says it makes 12 cups but really you pour yourself one mug and it looks like four cups are gone. Yeah right well I mean
Starting point is 00:44:12 that's basically what it is but I still I just basically drink that until it's gone in cups. I share it with Kale a bit but. What about the kids then I'm gonna get anything? They don't get anything. Yeah what about the blind? The blind dog. The blind dog's gone. We took that back to the adoption center. It was too complicated for our already complicated home life. Do you guys get grumpy with each other sometimes?
Starting point is 00:44:38 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There you go. I think everybody gets grumpy. With you. Yeah. Especially.
Starting point is 00:44:44 Yeah. No idea. It's hard to not get grumpy. With you? Yeah. Especially. Yeah. No idea. It's hard to not get grumpy, isn't it? But I don't think we get angry. Yeah, no. We don't fight. No.
Starting point is 00:44:53 A lot of people fighting. I don't know. I'm talking about how many fights they have. Yeah, no, I don't really have fights. Why would you have fights? Why would you fight? Sometimes. Sometimes I've.
Starting point is 00:45:03 Tell the other person they're right. Yeah, you're probably right. Let's stop. It doesn't, even if you're wrong, it doesn't matter. Exactly, who cares? What are we doing here? What are you doing in your relationship where it matters if you're right or wrong?
Starting point is 00:45:20 All these campaigns that are recently where people don't say sorry, stop lowering yourself. I think you go, man, I couldn't tell. Did I have seen that campaign? I mean, it was mostly targeted at women. Right. For like, oh, don't say sorry for the blah, blah, you know. Man, look, this is coming from me and there's a chance that it is linked to being Canadian,
Starting point is 00:45:41 not that I necessarily believe in that kind of stuff. But like, saying sorry is one of the greatest joys in life. So just be able to like, yeah, yeah, don't think I'm better than you. I don't think I'm right. I don't, whatever. I just like, sorry for whatever. Like for legal reasons, there's one day where I'm going to, I'm going to be in a collision with somebody. It's going to be their fault.
Starting point is 00:46:04 I'm going to come out. I'm'm gonna say sorry in my Canadian way. They're gonna take me to court because saying that I admitted guilt. And I'm gonna use the Canadian sorry. I'm gonna have to use the brand new Canadian sorry defense. Yes. Where I go, it doesn't mean anything. I'm just, I'm giving them status.
Starting point is 00:46:20 It's a form of grating. Yeah, it's a form of, it's like I'm being kind to them. It's like, look, hi, sorry. Yeah. Sorry that you even have to speak to another person I know that that's not great. Hmm. The Canadian sorry defense feels like it could be something
Starting point is 00:46:38 I missed. Yeah, I think saying sorry, it's kind of like a, it's kind of magic. Hmm. Alright. People, uh, people are always telling me, like, well that's not good, and it's not good in, you know, people aren't gonna think highly of you. Think of you as a powerful person, I go, I don't need that. I don't want to be a powerful and like, whatever. I say, I don't care. I don't want, I want everybody to think they're I'm beneath them.
Starting point is 00:47:05 Yeah, that's great, isn't it? Mm. Then you're truly free. Oh, imagine that people had to look up at you. But also, if you had a money. Like, if everyone thinks you're beneath them, but you've still got enough money to get by, yeah, that's a pretty good place to be.
Starting point is 00:47:21 Yeah, you wanna, I mean, I would love people to think that I'm useful and beneath them. Yeah. That I had value to the... Like a chair. Exactly. I had value to their lives, like the floor. Imagine where we'd be without the floor.
Starting point is 00:47:34 You know what's beneath me? The entire world. Exactly. The roof and stuff. Yeah, but even that is kind of connected to the floor. Yeah, wouldn't be there without the floor We have six ideas here. We need to come up with you got three words from a listener There's a lot of there's a lot of people who have been supporting us for a long time who have sent in three words and I have not
Starting point is 00:47:59 I feel like I haven't got to them for a while and so I would like to apologize But also we've got some new three word people. And so I thought I'd get to them, just because it feels like some people, you know, it'd be nice, you know, for them to get the first time more so than it'll feel like just regular run of the mill stuff for some of the older people. This is the world.
Starting point is 00:48:18 You've already got on once or twice. Yeah, yeah. Now you're right. So I'm, this is from a relatively new Patreon subscriber called Tyler Massey. Hey, Tyler. Hello, Tyler Massey. Thank you very much for sending that in. Great name.
Starting point is 00:48:35 You know, one of my favorite albums is Neil Young's Live at Massey Hall. Check it out. It's incredible. Tim performing all these songs that went on to be iconic, some of them for, I think, first time you perform them live. Well, I was at that one where he's just, it's just in the realm, and with a guitar.
Starting point is 00:48:53 Yeah. And the crowd is absolutely insane. You know how like when people go and perform their new stuff and everyone's like, boo, play your old stuff. Well, this is in performing new stuff and killing. It is incredible. And the on-course, the people go so nuts for the on-course,
Starting point is 00:49:12 which could be really annoying and is a little bit, but it also gives you a bit of an insight into what it's like to be one of the most, like, influential artists of your day at the point where you are being the most creative and how intense that must be. Yeah, and when you're in the right parallel universe to be appreciated. I mean, think of all the universes where Neil Young is garbage. We're now currently in that maybe
Starting point is 00:50:05 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Nialistic, okay, okay, okay, I've got the next one though. I'm... You don't have the next one. Clip to maniac. Not at all, Andy. I don't even know if you had any of the letters right. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha neutral. Neutrophil. Yeah. So what was the first word? Nialistic. Nialistic. Neutrophil. Neutrophil. Okay.
Starting point is 00:50:29 Do you want to try the third one or do you want to not embarrass yourself? Um, Q-tip. Syndrome. Oh, right. Indies syndrome. What is neutrophil? I don't know. I mean, it feels like either a drug or maybe just like a supplement that helps you to
Starting point is 00:50:43 shit, right? Neutrophil. either a drug or maybe just like a supplement that helps you to shit, right? Nutrophil. Although, I guess if it was a, a laxative, you wouldn't put the word fill in there. Would you? You'd put empty. Empty. Nutra empty.
Starting point is 00:50:54 Nutrophil are the most abundant type of, of, of, of granule low sites and the most abundant type of white blood cells in most mammals. Really? Nihilistic neutrophils syndrome, right? So this is... It sounds... Well, it sounds to me like your body can't be bothered healing its own wounds, right? Like maybe kind of a hemophilia, right? which is where you, you know, you just keep bleeding and you don't, you never scab up, right? Yeah. Could just be to do with your white blood cells
Starting point is 00:51:30 becoming disenchanted or thinking that there's no point. What about anything? What about, this is like, I mean, this is quite good and that's, he's basically written a sketch idea like that. But slightly opposite. Normally red blood cells form scabs, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:49 Well, no, I think it's actually the platelets, I think, which are white blood cells? Or platelets are some component of the blood. I thought it was white blood cells, but it could be wrong. Because maybe, yeah, I think, I don't know. I don't know. Are platelets white blood cells? Or are white blood cells just the ones that fight infection,
Starting point is 00:52:11 right, that go like, bloop over a bacteria or whatever and then turn into pus? Maybe platelets are um... Because I think red blood cells, they just make the scabs look red because there's red blood cells in there. But I think... I mean, it says here, platelets are produced in the bone marrow, the same as the red cells and most of the white blood cells, platelets are produced. But I don't know if it says that they are the same thing.
Starting point is 00:52:40 No, it doesn't sound like they are. Sounds like they're their own thing, right? Yeah, we just have to ignore facts right now. Yeah, okay. No, it doesn't sound like they are. Sounds like their own thing, right? Yeah. It's the thing. All right, we just have to ignore facts right now. Yeah, okay. We're just going to. So, are you just saying that what you said is the sketch idea?
Starting point is 00:52:52 Oh, it's an idea. I mean, what does it mean for a blood cell to become disenchanted? Right? Like, I think that's in a scenario where, okay, because think about rise of the planet of the apes. What happens there? Well, the apes get some kind of disease which makes them intelligent. That's a new one.
Starting point is 00:53:15 It makes them sentient. Yeah, yeah, yeah, makes them sentient. Yeah, so what I'm suggesting is that what if that, but it's individual cells in your body, right? All your cells in your body become conscious. Yeah. Because of some disease, we were trying to invent something that would make people smarter, or we were trying to invent something that would make dogs be able to speak English. You know, one of the noble causes of science.
Starting point is 00:53:42 I saw a video there other day where somebody was teaching their dog to speak through these button presses and it was like expressing itself. That's crazy. Yeah, anyway. Yes, but with cells. But with cells. And so it gets into our cells and it turns out that each individual's cell becomes sentient. Right. And then, you know, what does that mean for humanity? Do we now have to mourn Every one of the seven billion blood cells that dies every day when we Trim out
Starting point is 00:54:17 Here, that's not cells is it, you know something there cells in there. Yeah, but I mean But they but yeah, I'm thinking that maybe then the blood cells, you know the something like that. Or, I mean, there are cells in there. Yeah. But, I mean, but the... But the... I'm thinking that maybe then the blood cells, you know, the white blood cells could become disenchanted, you know. They, you know, they start to think what's the point of it all, because they're just serving some higher thing. They're just going about their day. Imagine that having a higher purpose
Starting point is 00:54:39 that would make you click off. Correct. That's... I think that's what's associated with most sensitism. Yeah. No, I was. I mean, but you might not, they might not know about their higher purpose.
Starting point is 00:54:51 That's the thing is that they are serving a higher purpose, but they don't realize. And so they just get depressed. Right. And then, and then, you know, every day becomes a grind. A grind for them. But then for you, it's up to you then, every day becomes a grind. A grind for them, but then for you, it's up to you then, the consciousness in your own body,
Starting point is 00:55:09 you know, controlling all these other consciousness. I like any great leader, you've got to motivate them, right? You've got to get out there, get the word out there, try and make them see that this whole thing is worth fighting for, and then, he then becomes a political campaign. So you become like Jesus. Yes.
Starting point is 00:55:26 And you have to go shrink down, go into your own body, and then go down there in some form. I guess you have some kind of avatar. And you go in there and you're meeting the cells and you're like, how you doing? Oh, a little beaten gray. You got how you doing.
Starting point is 00:55:40 So I'm the guy whose body you guys are all working in. I wasn't aware we worked in a body. Yeah. And this is like that multi-path and sketch where they're like, I didn't know we had a king. Yeah. That must be the king. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:52 Help, help. Um, I think that's something. Yeah. Right? Motivating your own body cells. And then it's the people, and then all the people who weren't charismatic leaders would die off because all their cells would become unmotivated But the people who were truly able to you know convince and then all we'd have left in the world would be really
Starting point is 00:56:18 Persuasive public speakers every single person would be hmm a great orator You'd have to be yeah, but also you'd be great at talking every single person would be a great orator. You'd have to be, yeah. But also you'd be great at talking to the strong points of what cells like. Mm. You know, and so it might not be necessarily transferable to humans.
Starting point is 00:56:37 You're right. What do you think you'd tell the cells? I'd tell them that we were going to get a new vending machine in the common area. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And make lunch longer. Yeah, we're thinking about having more blood, more air, oxygen distribution.
Starting point is 00:56:53 We're thinking about sort of maybe having taking deeper breaths. I think they'd like to. Absolutely. Yeah, take deeper breaths and eat more low GI foods. But maybe they like to sugar rice. They probably do. Yeah, I mean, that's the problem. You'd end up being a populist probably
Starting point is 00:57:11 and do it making the kinds of decisions for your body that lead to long-term damage. Yeah. Because you're just trying to win over the cells. Yeah. I wonder if you could then lose power to some other part of your body and say like your foot or something, the cells there get together and put together some kind of alternative
Starting point is 00:57:33 sight of government. Or Russia starts convincing some parts of your foot, such a campaign to help convince some parts of your foot to rebel against the rest of the body, so that you, so that their body's no longer unified. Yeah. And your body's no longer allowed in the EU. Correct. Well, then once the body is divided against itself
Starting point is 00:58:01 and the foot goes off and starts its own separate thing, you're more vulnerable. You're actually weaker. You're stronger as a whole, but Russia thinks it'll be easier to take over if people only have one foot. And they're probably right. No, they're absolutely right. Yeah. All right, that's the sketches.
Starting point is 00:58:19 It was a bit of an interesting one today. Yeah, slightly stronger. Thanks everybody for listening. Yeah, so we got non-trivial pursuit. Mm. I think we still, we have great, good ideas in this. Yeah. Despite a bit feeling, it was a bit disjointed.
Starting point is 00:58:32 Yes. We got Stone Age of advertising. This is when the people are starting to figure out like, what if we just like, told people about it? What if I told, yeah, like, so I got a wife. What if I told her about this and see if she likes it? Mm, like that.
Starting point is 00:58:46 Advertising, that's advertising. And coming up with advertising. Well, Michael's an influencer, he's got two disciples. Oh, Stone Age influencers is quite good, isn't it? I could be in there. But they're not. We're not setting the stone age, is the stone age of advertising.
Starting point is 00:59:04 Well, in my mind, it's still actually in the stone age. I know, I understand what you're saying, but I can't get out of the idea that they're all wearing skins. I don't know if people would, or even more, that can I say, do you think they did? More skins, like. Yeah, I mean, people definitely wore skins. Ah, it's not very vegan.
Starting point is 00:59:22 Creating markets for the less talented. That's when we drug people or whatever. I don't know, or just fine places where they'd never heard a piano. We segregate humanity based on taste, level of taste. Yeah. Then we got the good bit of the major scale. This is people who were, you know, music officiant, who were like, man, look, the major scale, it's fine.
Starting point is 00:59:44 But I mean, they could have stopped after six notes. You know, and so there's 12 available semi-tones, right? But you just use eight of those notes to make a scale. I totally understand now. Yeah, great. And it's variations on those that make different scales. Correct, yeah, great.
Starting point is 01:00:05 We got old lady who swallowed a fly style of getting new pets so they can get rid of the old pet and then get a new pet. That's when you eventually want just a pet virus so that you can get rid of your commoto dragon. And then you get a pet, a kid in us, so you can use the antibacterial properties in it's under its forcekin to get rid of the virus after your kids are done playing with the virus or whatever. Then you got the Canadian sorry defense in court. And then we have the motivating your own body cells And then we have the motivating your own body cells
Starting point is 01:00:48 After they become nihilistic That's great. We forgot to do the Harry's add in the middle of the show So we don't know and then put it in yeah, let's do it now and then put it in Let's talk a little bit more about Harry's no I'd love to you know the people who help you to shave your face Absolutely, I was thinking about them constantly while we were doing the rest of the show. Yeah. What's great about Harries is that they're a return
Starting point is 01:01:15 to the essential. Yes, absolutely. We're talking quality, durable blades at a fair price, just $2 per blade. And they cut out the middle man. And the middle man, who's that middle man? That's the people in the store who make you get the thing from behind the counter, and then there's never on the shelf,
Starting point is 01:01:33 and there's the thing you've got to ask for it. Like a criminal. That's right, they make you feel ashamed of needing to shave your face. But it's something that we all need to do. Let's admit it. Yeah, they do it. And they got, I'll tell you what's in, what do you get?
Starting point is 01:01:50 If you go to harrys.com-for-thlash-think-tank, listeners of our show can redeem their Harry's trial set. You will get a weighted ergonomic handle for a firm grip, a five-blade razor with a lubricating strip and trimmer blade, a rich, I was using that this morning. Mm-hmm. Last night, it was using that this morning. Mm-hmm. Last night, it was great. A rich leathering shave gel with aloe to keep your skin hydrated.
Starting point is 01:02:10 And a travel blade cover to keep your razor dry and easy to grab on the go. I don't know about that dry. What's that? Keep your razor dry on the go. That's what it says in the text, in the text here. Well, travel blade cover to keep your razor dry. If you ever travel with a wet towel, nothing worse than traveling with a wet towel, You have a blade cover to keep your razor dry. You have your razor. You have your razor. You have your wet towel, nothing worse than traveling with a wet towel, makes everything
Starting point is 01:02:28 in your bag wet. Right. And including your razor blades. Well, not if you got that travel case because it keeps it away. It gives it, you know, maybe it's still, it gets a little bit affected by the wet towel funk. Yeah, that mist, that sort of stanky mist. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 01:02:47 But that blade is dry once you're playing it on your face. And that's what I look for in a race of playing.
