John Lake Virtual.
And I'm Andy.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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,
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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,
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
But his hands.
But his hands.
I mean, is there a but his word?
But us.
What?
Butterscotch.
Butterscotch.
This is how you criticize,
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?

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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There you go.
I think everybody gets grumpy.
With you.
Yeah.
Especially.
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.
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.
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?
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,
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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,
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
Go to harry.com for which I think tank
to start shaving better today.
I love harrys.
You're in love with harrys.
I am in love with harrys.
That's a really a problem.

The challenges you today. That's the real message. Yeah, yeah. Like listening to this episode. You already did that today.
Do something every day that scares you. Yeah. Like having to get through some of our tough episodes.
Somebody left a really nice review recently on iTunes saying that there's hundreds of hours of
good listening and only maybe 10 that are tough. And I think that's a really good and fair assessment. Yeah, that's really nice
Yeah, that's nice. That was that's probably all post-child
Then all the 10 the 10 tough hours the 10 tough hours. I mean, I'm sure there's a few before him. Yeah
