LSD, the ancient Greeks didn't need flex balls or heated handles, and neither do you. Oh, that's correct. Yes. You know me so well.

Yeah, yeah. I could, I could, I could look at you and I thought that's a man who doesn't need a flex ball. What am I talking about? I'm talking about shaving. What? Specifically, I'm talking about Harry's. Harry's is the way to shave. Oh, I know that.

Simplify your shaving regime by cutting out the middle man and what better way to cut out the middle man than with a very sharp German engineered razor blade from Harries. I don't even know why you're telling me this. I've already done it years ago. Yes, that your middle man has been excised, right? And placed in some kind of biological waste disposal container and taken away to be incinerated. Now I treat the hairs on my face like they are the middle man and I cut them out once every two, three days. Anyway, Harry's I've got a lot more to say about it later on in the podcast, but suffice to say you go to harrys.com for a slash think tank, you get yourself a real good deal. And sunka da ka da ka da

dun dun dun dun dun dun dun and a sinka dun dun dun and a sinka dun dun and a sinka dun dun dun and a sinka dun dun Hello and welcome to two in the think tank the show where we come up with five, four, five, six. Oh, it's right.

That's right. Sorry. And jumping in there, the voice of incorrect numbers. But correct letters, Peter Thomas. Thank you very much. Think of a number, and I'll tell you whether it's correct or not. Oh, but no.

I'll be able to say it, and it won't be right. OK. I'm thinking of a it's correct or not. Or maybe no. I'll be able to say it and it won't be right. Okay. I'm thinking of a number. Okay, 12. And that's wrong. You're right, that is wrong. It's a kind of magic, but you can... It's a kind of magic.

Yeah. Being always, being unable to think of the right number at any time. I mean, it's, it, it, it, it, I don't think it necessarily helps you on the casino floor. No. Like, I don't think you could take your rainman, your Peter Thomas rainman down there. You will. Maybe, because maybe you could get him to tell you where not to go.

Yeah, 12. You could tell you 20 answers. No, I don't think you can tell you 20. I think he can tell you one number that it isn't. I can only think of one number at a time. Yeah, no, but I think I think he could tell you 20. I think this is how you turn it into a superpower. Okay. He's at the, he's at the card to go tell me what cards the dealer has or whatever. And he goes to eight. Okay, so that's not that. Well, I mean, that's a star, Jack. Seriously, tell me.

Jack Ace, you know, I guess that's not that good. Seven, eight. You already said eight, but okay. Yes, we can really rule that one out. It's great to be here. I think a superhero who's thing is that he gets everything wrong. It's reliably wrong. And when he shoots at something, he always misses.

Every time. Every time. And like as in, he can't do anything right. Mm. Yeah. It's like he's a character in a silent movie where who you know, he just keeps stepping in buckets and the bucket gets stuck to his foot and then he's a bumbling Superhero. Yeah, this doesn't seem like so much a power as a curse I mean how how would they be able to use this?

Let's call it an ability because, because that's neutral. Yeah. And this ability to fight crime. Okay. Well, I think if you, it's a story about, allowing yourself to fail. Yeah. And then at some point. So they fight the bigger crime of people being afraid

to try new things. Yeah. So when I say the hitman, he's a guy who has 18 fists, right? He comes into a bank and he's gonna hit everybody, right? In the bank, how many people are in the bank? 18, right. He's gonna hit every single one. Oh my God, with one hit.

Yeah, yeah, he's the hitman. And he only does crimes where there are 18 victims. It sounds perfect. Now, but our guy, what is he called, the bungalow? How? No. He hasn't managed to come up with a name. Actually, the fumble?

The fumble, the incredible fumble. Right. He has a gun, right? And he aims and sprays bullets, doesn't hit the, the, the, the hitman once, right? But he does kill everybody else in the bank. Yes. But, okay. Everybody. Everybody does, you know, when the story gets out, everybody's like, like, you know, what? I should take those aquarobics lessons. Yeah. Well, I mean, you had to go. But I think look, this is, he realizes how to aim his talents through this

bad experience. That was his first time out. Okay. And when he's released from prison, yeah. So 50 years. Yeah. So he comes out as an older man. Yeah. And he realizes, if he goes to crimes that are happening where there's two people, he can bring a gun and try and shoot the victim.

Right? Well, maybe he becomes, maybe he's good, but he becomes a criminal. He doesn't because he's so bad at cry at everything. He decides, well, then the best thing for me to do is to become a master criminal. He doesn't because he's so bad at cry at everything. He decides, well, then the best thing for me to do is to become a master criminal. And then he will try and when do you graduate from being a master criminal to being a Mr. Criminal? That's what I want to know.

When you turn 12. Yeah. But and then, and then, you know, he know, he can show up. I guess there has to be still something bad happening for him to accidentally. No, it's okay. So, it gets out of prison, goes back to that same bank. There are 18 people there. So, the business hasn't grown in 50 years. No, so the Fumla tries, decides, well, I couldn't save anyone. So, I might as well try and take all the money. But they would end up foiling a robbery there just by virtue of them not being able to rob the place. Or maybe they donate money to the bank or a charity.

Donating money to a bank, which is truly the work of a super hero. He somehow is trying to bring into it and then actually fortifies it even stronger. Yeah, great. Yeah, that raises stocks in the bank. Like instead of the bank being seen as an unsafe place or they're basically all the money. It works wide up big, making banks more successful.

Which really, yeah, that would be, that's a heart of it. And then you can learn how to take a cut from that. Mm-hmm. Well, I mean, isn't he a bit like you and I? Like, is this a masked stranger? Mm-hmm. Really an emblem. This is a fun blunt.

Isn't he a bit like you and I? And I accidentally trying to rob a bank and then letting the bank get bigger and open other branches in different districts. He did it with the socket. And then his uncle died. He's uncle dies at the end of that. Yeah.

Uncle Frank. That's when he was trying to do, he was trying to do dentistry work on his uncle Wait His uncle was so cheap He tried him to do it. He got the fumble up. Yeah, but I mean they're both quite old at this point Two old men working on each other's teeth One of them dies and the other ones are thief. This sounds like a great way for male friendships to evolve. You know, like a couple of men working on each other's teeth.

Exactly. You both learning about how the mouth works. Trust, trust. A lot of trust. It's a practical skill. It involves tools and that sort of thing. I think it could be, you know, probably better than these men's shed things.

Yeah, now it's meant. Men's mouths. And it's meant in each other's mouths. Yeah. And sometimes men can find it hard to tell each other about their feelings. But if one of them has their mouth open and the other one is stuck, their fingers in their mouth, then they won't have to talk about anything. In fact, they won't be able to.

Correct. But also what you don't realize is that if you've got your mouth open, you're already halfway to talking. That's right. And if you're afraid of not having enough to say, you can just go, make you an excellent listener. Excellent listener. And they're both doing this on each other simultaneously. Yeah, they're 69 in that way. 69. But dentistry, the dentistry version of 69. Dentistry, the Dentistry version of 69. What? Sure, yeah.

Of course they are. Well, I don't, these, these, these, um, mencheds aren't just for two people at a time though. No, but there's special chairs that I'll have here. You strap in, I guess, lower the top of the other. Well, yeah, it would be from the ceiling in a sort of, um, mission-impro, I mean, possible ask. Yeah, you just use those rollercoaster chairs

that you used to strap you into a rollercoaster that goes upside down. Or in space, or some of those high altitude jets that achieve zero gravity for a couple of minutes at a time. And people film clips and things up there. I said, almost set upstairs, up there. Up around the spheres, like the upstairs of the world. That would make it really easy to do

to dentistry on each other. That's true, zero gravity. Siver of gravity, 69 stop. Yeah. One of the advantages of being in space. Sometimes I think it might be the only advantage of being in space. Well, I wonder if the industry has been performed in space yet.

We should find out. I mean, they're always doing stupid stuff on the international space. They're up in the air for, or they're up not in the air but outside. It's completely true. Away from air. Beyond the air. Beyond the air for so long that they would need to know how to do sort of some rudimentary first aid things.

What if they're no longer submerged, aren't they? What's there? No, they're completely emerged. I mean, they would maybe at least have one big bandage so that they can wrap it from underneath their mouth all the way to over the top of their head in a big bow so that they can have an old school toothache. Oh yeah. So they're submerged in that, you know. Yeah, I think they can also put a stake over one of 2000. So they're submerged in that.

They can also put a stake over one of their eyes, if one of them has a black eye. It's my favourite. What was that about? Well, he heals me. It's a... He looks at the risk that your eye would cure the stake He heals me It's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it mouth grows on there. Yeah, I don't know what that state, who came up with that? Quick, get some meat on it.

Now they're lab growing meat. Yes. What are they called? Miracle burgers. No. Impossible. No, no, those ones are vegetarian ones. But they taste like meat, I think.

Right. I think. And. I think. And you're talking about actually growing animal products without animals. But could they, instead of doing that, or as well in parallel, grow animal consciousnesses in labs that we can end? Well, I think we talked about this on a very recent episode of the podcast being able to grow something in the lab that just experiences pain.

Well, I think maybe we did that with maybe the soy boy. No, but we also came up with it two episodes ago in the podcast and what I am telling you right now. I know I heard your words, but I didn't believe you. And I just thought, like if you flip back a couple in the on the sheet, you will see lab-growing pain as the last, last thing that we wrote down. Right.

So that one's off the table. I guess that one's off the table. Let's see, we got social media. No, the last one at the very bottom. Yesterday. Yeah, no, no, no, the, no, no, the bottom of the list. Ah, pool players are being framed up and asteroids are destroyed. Maybe there's a lot before that. Anyway, the point is, I'm right. I'm right.

Growing nothing but the feeling of loss. Oh, the feeling of loss. Oh, you know, peace with it. Does that mean I'm right or wrong? I guess you are both right and wrong. You were right of the location and then it was about growing something in a lab or somewhere, but it was just the feeling of loss, which I guess is kind of a sub category of pain. Sub category or very close to the pecategory of pain. Sorry Andy. Well, I mean, sorry you're almost supposed to.

Yeah, great journey for us all to go on. And you're usually not happy about the feeling of loss. Oh, depends. Yeah. What if it's a dog say that you don't, you know, you feel as too much responsibility. Absolutely. Okay.

Well, I'll try to imagine that. The pleasure of absence. Yeah. Yeah, the pleasure of someone's absence makes the heart grow, grow fonder. So I mean, imagine how fond of it that I would be as big as this dog if I didn't have it at all. Yeah. What about just like something

that makes hair grow on your heart? Mm. Okay. Absence makes the heart grow hair. Well, we understand that absence makes the heart grow Fonda. But what about sort of like, like, Jane Fonda? Jane Fonda makes your heart grow hair.

No, no, that makes the heart grow Fonda. Oh, Jane Fonda, sorry. Yeah, yeah. But Jane Fonda. Peter, what makes hair grow? Follicles. Follicles. Can I talk about laser hair removal for a second?

Please do. Do you, do either of you have any idea how laser hair removal for a second. Please do. Do you, do, do either if you have any idea how laser hair removal works? I don't. Uh, well, there are two essential ingredients. Mmm. Uh, the first one being laser. Yes. And the other one being hair removal. Yes.

That's right. Uh, I feel like this, this could be, this could be a question on how to Wales work, on a game show, where you just ask people questions about things they don't have any idea about, and they've got to try and guess how they work. Because I think I sort of have a picture of what a laser is in my mind, right? But I can't for the life of me work out how you use that to remove, say, all the hairs on somebody's leg and stop them from growing back.

All right. Alazza is like a super light globe or something. Yeah. So we have a pointy light globe. Super pointy light globe. I never feel like my hair is falling out, even a little bit when I'm around a light globe. So I am finding it hard to understand how even a super light globe, very pointy as it is, could remove all my hair.

But sometimes the sun hurts. Yes, that's true. And I can burn your skin. But does laser hair removal hurt? I imagine you feel like a shock of some sort. Right. And is it burning individual, it's gotta be? follicles? Well, if it's not,. It's gotta be. It's gotta be.

Well, if it's not, then what's the point? You're not trying to laser a more interesting. And then how is it not just scarring your skin? Anyway, I'm sure. Answers to all of this stuff exist. I hope, but I cannot begin to. Well, I've got a similar thing with removing tattoos from deep inside your skin.

I think somebody I saw a headline that said some person bought a tattoo removal thing like a From home, but from China, and it's just like an unbelievably powerful laser It just gets sent to them And they're like, oh jeez get sent to them. And they're like, oh jeez. Is it, you know, is it one of those things where like when you buy a new type of soap or washing soap, it says, test it on an inconspicuous part of the body, the body before you, you know, or test it on an enemy before you use it on your tathu. Well, I knew somebody who was getting attacked to remove from their back.

And if you touched them in that area on their back where they had been getting it removed, they would get like a, oh, that's an awful feeling. So it could probably, these things probably can do damage to your skin. Or maybe that's just a way to get your skin to touch people. Your nerves, yeah. I was using my three-inch long fingernails that I've filed to a point and just twirling my fingers around their back. You don't think that affected? And I didn't know I was there. Yeah. Didn't seem to enjoy. Obviously, the tatter removal. Why were you... Why were we talking about laser hair removal?

Just because you don't know what it is. I'll mention something about growing hair on your heart or something. Right. I wasn't sure if it was necessarily going anyway. Absence makes the heart grow follicles. Yes. Um, I think, uh, the, the power of spooky, I can, I can more closely connect the idea of spookiness removing hair follicles than I can lasers. Because if you could have something that could fire concentrated spookiness at your skin,

I imagine it could give you really intense goose bumps, which would then squeeze the root of the hair out of your skin, it would fall off. That's much better. Thank you. So, shoot the root with some concentrated spook. Yeah. And you could terrify the skin off. You know, how people can get scared and then their hair turns white. Yeah.

We've established a connection between spookiness and hair. You can lose a lot of its color. Could you make it completely transparent? I mean, that would be a start, wouldn't it? Sounds like it's only one spook away. One spook away. Turn it up one more spook, right? And so, you know, is this anything? We're getting really close. I like, you know, you go along and Stephen King himself is there reading his spookiest reading his spooky stories. So they're shooting like actual like short stories into

the actual concentrated. We can try to. Right. So you can play them at triple speed or something to enhance their spooky. Do you have to like make your your hair follicle into an ear for a second? Yes. For it to understand. It's very broad spectrum. your hair follicle into an ear for a second? Hmm. Uh, yes. For a ton of stands. It's very, it's very broad spectrum. Well, I think you...

It'll get rid of most of your hair. Correct. So not just from the places that you would like to remove from, but from your whole body in general. Yeah, it's a kind of allopetra. Yes. It all just falls off, right? And then...

That's all right. You can get a nice blank slate and then you can build the hair back up however you want with wigs or whatever. Yeah. Or another, I mean, if spookiness makes you lose hair, then it stands to reason that the inverse- A different type of story that romance. Yeah.

Romance, something heartwarming, something about adopting a dog or something like that would really make your hair Possibly on your heart. Yes. Well, what is put well putting hairs on your chest? That's what you get from drinking drinking Things that are horror like that make you feel sick. I'm gonna write down spook hair removal Thanks, if you're writing it there just so that I'll stop talking about it. I'll sit Andy, I think it's really good. Okay, great writing it down just so that I'll stop talking about it, I'll just let you know. Andy, I think it's really good. Okay, great.

Thank you so much for your support. Spook hair removal. He spooked the hair right off of me. You know what I've been thinking about recently, I'll just let you know. I don't know. That bit that we rift on, a recent podcast about shitting your pants in. How you can shit in as well, how about you poo going out of your bottom is is shitting, but stuff going into your bottom is also shitting technically, right? So if you shut anything in the

past, it's through your illness, you're mad at the direction. Yeah, it matter the direction. It's cheating. Cheating is not a vector. It's a scalar property. So the direction is an important. And you could shit in your pants, and that could actually mean sucking your pants up into your bottom. Now this is just a little recently on to in the think tank reminiscing about that. As an ad for other episodes. Yeah, exactly.

Caraging people to be out. Yeah. We've started doing more ads for two and the think tank on this spot. Poured water all over my crotch. Oh, that's okay. I just pissed in my pants. But were you gonna lead that to somewhere? Absolutely nothing, Alistair. I just thought we could reminisce

about a funnier idea I was involved in the spooky, your hair off. I think a spooky hair removal. It can be, you know, it's like similar things to getting, you know, electrocuted to straighten your hair. Mm-hmm. You know, the young Einstein effect. Yeah, it's like a thing to do.

Yeah. Same thing with your hair turning white. Also electrocuted to make your skin transparent so everyone can see your skeleton. That's right. If only for a short amount of time. But it's enough if you get a photo. Yeah, medically, they could diagnose you based on that. I'm pretty sure that's just how X-ray is work.

I'm absolutely so. The X stands for electric cut. The X stands for electric cut. You thought that was going to be a different sound in that word, where you started saying it out loud, didn't you? I think all the C's in electrocute almost sound like an X. It feels like the word electricity should have an X in it. You're absolutely right. Trick City.

Yeah. I've gone too far through the word, or I could try and turn it into sounding more like an X. Yeah, you're pretty deep in. It's weird. It's weird. I could, you know, objectively, you'd swear there was an X in electricity. I mean, X seems like the symbol for electricity.

Definitely. It's like ecstatic. It seems like something that would do. Yeah, there is a symbol for electricity. Mm-hmm. Definitely. It's like, ecstatic. It seems like something that would be... Yeah, there's no exine ecstatic. No, it's... Yeah, it exit. That doesn't feel like it has an X and it has one.

I feel like we could replace quite a few letters with X. Mm. C-K. Yeah. S. CK, S, C's, eyes sometimes. Eyes could be replaced. Yeah, I think so. Wow. Yeah, well, when you die, your eyes turn into axes as I understand it from cartoons. Yep, done.

Done. Change it. Did it? Fixed it. Now, inside a whale. Mm. You know, if you are inside a whale, like like Pepito or Giuseppe. Pinocchio.

Giuseppe is Giuseppe. Is it Giuseppe? Giuseppe, you took care of it. Yeah, I think yeah. Giapeto. Giapeto. Pepito. Giuseppe, you combined Giuseppe,

but it's not Pepito, but it's Pepito. So it's Pepito and Pinocchio, both in the whale. I thought it was just Pinocchio. I don't know, it's been a long time. In Pepito first. Right. And then Pinocchio goes looking for him. So, it's after Pinocchio gets back from the place where he's a donkey. Yeah. The island of bad boys. Yeah. There's a lot of stuff going on in that story, isn't it? And the whale's name is Monstro, or something like that. Right.

So we get to know his name. There's a lot of crazy business in that. Yeah. And there's a fairy and there's a cricket, the talks. It's also this little wooden child's conscience. Do you think? Do you think that like Disney stories have sort of toned down a lot since then? Like I don't think they would put all those weird ass elements into something that's

like... No, it's been very streamlined. Now it's just talking cars or something like that. Yeah. And all the songs are about asphalt. Believing in yourself. Yeah, believing in yourself, drive on some asphalt. Yeah, two things.

Believing in yourself. And drive on some asphalt-fault. Yeah, two things. And drive on some mash-fault, making it live in selling the car. It's selling cartwheels. Which is... Yes. If you were inside a wild elastic, you could like deck it out like a van

and just have like a bad old one. Nice coat. No question that Wales are the van of the ocean. The van of the ocean. There's enough space. Yeah, so but could you like get your feet and everything out of the, out of the sort of the dangerous one where you might get swallowed or digested or whatever?

It's got to be an island in there somewhere. Maybe there's a capsized boat and you can use that as a, as a base. Well, because I wonder if there's like a capsized boat. Or a capsized van inside the whale and you could use that as your base. Well, because I wonder if there's like a cat side. Or a cat side van inside the whale, and you could use that as your van. I'm just like a regular camper van. Yeah.

And it knows that if there is any air sort of in the stomach of the whale, that is all burp air. You know, like you are breathing in burp. Yeah, right. You're trying to subsist in entirely burp atmosphere. So because it wouldn't, it would be like a human body. There's not really a lot of big cavernous zones where you're, they're empty and you can just hang out in there, right?

Absolutely. Except that it's much larger. So there are big... Well, we know that there is gas, you know, because of the existence of burps, that proves that there is some gas very often in the stomach. We know that there is no cure within there, so that also proves it. Sorry, I mean, neglecting the... There's enough space in there. Imperial evidence of Pinocchio.

For not only Pinocchio, but also Jonah. Jonah? Yep. And that's corroboration right there. And it unspecified third example of someone being swallowed by a whale. But what about like that space in there where you have access to the blowhole? And you can see it up above

and there's a little bit of light coming in from the blowhole, is that real? Or is that a thing? Cause I like it, it's submarine. Like a submarine you would look up through to say that. Well, just because I think it's's what once you get into the mouth And then you kind of pass that area and he closed the mouth then there's not really any light for you Unless there's some phosphorescent algae

Or a candle or a candle, but I think the gas would probably yeah be a problem with naked flame Yeah, and also walking around if I get an itchy throat, and it would be like, oh, oh. And also, LEDs are probably more efficient. So we've seen that we've not, we've, we can't really live in a whale. You can, but I think you have to create

another atmosphere inside that. So if you drive your van into the whale, as long as your van was airtight, and you could do it with one of those new testless or something. Yeah. I assume that that has its own oxygen supply and can drive on the moon. Yeah. So maybe instead of a van, what about just like a swag that has a microclimate inside it?

Yeah. Because I mean, like, instead of like having to go and live on Mars or something like that, if we can just create, if there are places inside animals. Yeah, if it's uninhabitable places that we want to live, we've got them right here on Earth. We got them here. Inside the belly of a whale. Has nobody tried that, right? Because we can give that a crack right now. Because you could just set your little swag.

It'll be like a sort of submariney swag. And you get it, you set it, it's, you know, coordinates to find plankton. Yeah. And you just go and hang out in a cloud of plankton, and you float in there, and then you just wait for a whale. So I guess this is, it helps if you're on the run or something like that. Is this a thing that David Blaine has actually done?

I was thinking exactly the same thing. There has to be inside a whale. Uh, some sort of... Like a whale corpse on a beach or something. Has he ever crawled into one and said, I'll be in here for two weeks. I'm David Blaine. Good, good, good, magic.

Whatever you want to imagine is when they think of magic, a man not going outside for two weeks. That's not magic, that's bloody depression, am I right? Using magic, I will resist all of the diseases that are being harbored in this giant ocean dwelling mammal. The noxious gases, et cetera. And they just explode at some point those curfuses. Yeah, it's pretty cool. It's supposed to be very rich and fertile, which is all

of the rotting matter that means that when they do decay on the bottom of the ocean, it promotes all this life that comes out. So you think they're going to be- David Blaine would thrive. Yeah, it could be. It could be. It could be, it could be, it could exist on the same thing that whatever type of... Crabbs and tube worms. Ocean worm, yeah. That lives off the carcass in a while. It could quite happily go on doing that for decades even. And I would be quite happy if he went on doing that for decades.

Never saw him again. Yeah. He could just change his name and then disappear. That would be fine. Go into obscurity. Yeah, I mean, I will disappear. That's like going to obscurity. Yeah, I mean, I will disappear. What's the magic about it disappearing for 20 years? Until a where are they now TV show comes and finds me?

I'll be quiet or somebody starts a podcast series looking for you. What what left what else do you can you do after you've... Like, this is my next big project I'm gonna live inside a whale for two weeks. Is there anywhere left to go? I guess you can start trying to live into smaller and smaller animals. I mean, you can't do card tricks anymore.

No one's gonna be interested in saying, oh look, is this your card? No. Oh, but imagine what if you did? Card tricks inside the whale? Card tricks inside inside or just a car trick so good. Is this your whale car? For like what what could you do with a car trick to make it to make it equivalent to living in a whale for two weeks? Nothing. I don't know. I think maybe what if that card unfolds? Because is this your house? And then you, like, you unfold it around them and then they're inside their own house.

Yeah, I mean, I guess that's the thing. Yeah, yeah. The constitutes actual magic would be more impressive than just being in a while. Yeah, or you make them realize that using cards you had been creating an alternate reality in front of their eyes cards you had been creating an alternate reality in front of their eyes for the last, you know, I don't know, two, three years. Or the deans themselves were actually just a deck of cards. Mm. Did it have been tricked into sentience by your so fooled by the illusion that they thought that they were real.

What? I am a card. I am a deck of cards. I don't think they're just like the jack or something in there and they're, ah! And then he puts you back in his pocket. Yeah.

And then turns towards the camera and winks. And then just gets back into that wild. Right and down. I'm trick. I think a card trick where you end up trapped inside one of the cards, or possibly were the deck of cards all along. It's a very, very Twilight Zone, you kind of. It is, very Twilight Zone.

It's very, very good. I just had an idea while we were talking about, you know, that on the topic of the Insights of Wales, we're always being told that you could fit a VW beetle inside the heart of a blue whale and it nobody's ever tried. It feels like science is taunting us by saying you could fit it in there, but the fact that nobody's ever done it. Especially that they didn't do it while top gear was on the air. I guess the next step would be to use the Hardware Whale as a VW Beetle. If they are so alike in size, I assume that they share other characteristics. You put a Porsche, is that what it is?

The engines in the back, the pressure to spray the water that comes out to clean your windows comes from the inner tube. Great, that's from the hot part. Right, is that true? I think so. From the... From the VW Beetle. I remember reading something like that. That's sort of possible, Pete.

This is. No. Absolutely. No, because the wheel is constantly spinning, right? No, no, no, sorry. This is from the spare tube Oh, so which is in the front? If you wash your windscreen too much you won't be able to get out your spare tire to change the tire and it'll be flat It's a constant equation that you have to make that's a payoff

It life is all about making Copper amizers and and working out costs and benefit announced do I want the windscreen to be clean enough to no longer be able to drive. The air pressure or the water? The water was in the spirit? No, no, no. So there's the spare tire. There's a little nozzle that gets hooked up to it. And that nozzle, it uses the air pressure to add to the water, to spray it up into your... To push the water out. To push the water thing.

What are you reckon, Al? Do you think that that's real? I think it's genius. Yeah, tap. Have a limited amount of air to keep repumping. You don't need very much at all. Yeah, really? At all.

I don't think. Well, I think the good people at Volkswagen, I think that would have made Hitler. Was that Hitler very, who made him very happy? Was that the first car that he commissioned the beetle? Yes, that's the people's wagon. Pete, if you've just made this up, I want to say, what a brilliant flight of fancy. I'm absolutely certain in the way that I'm not certain that there do exist.

And it's a feature in ACAR, if not the car that I indicated that it was a feature. Cool. And it's not a sketch idea. This is perhaps probably maybe reality. Is it a thought? I had a saw a guy in a convertible the other day, but he was wearing hat.

What is it buddy? Top up or top down? Okay? Alistair, that's not just a thought. That's a joke. Yeah. You got a beat right there. Oh, yes.

That is a lie. 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 mycomputercareer.edu and take the free career evaluation. You could start your new career in months, not years. Take classes online or on campus, and financial aid is available to qualified students,

including the GI Bill. Now is the time, mycomputercareer.edu. You often say that. Yeah. The people wearing hats, but the hat was a visor. Oh. But he was wearing a Yamaka as well. The hat was a visor. But it was wearing a Yamaka as well. But the Yamaka was also a visor.

Two visors. I think that's definitely a good joke. That's a joke? Yeah. I also think that's definitely a good joke. That's a joke? Yeah. Or I guess, I'm desperate for material right now. I think also think that a character in a movie who is Jewish, where's a Yamaha, but also where's a visor is a funny thing. What, why bother? What, Pete?

What, what, you want me to explain why it's funny? I can't. It's in terms of our, our Imagine Fluorescent. Oh, one of those. Fluorescent's jogging one, maybe. Right. Because I guess it kind of just fills in the gap there. I mean, you get totally, there'd be a ring.

Yeah, there's a ring of hair. Of your, of your, of Adorsi, of Farad, perhaps. And it would be nice to see that ring, but let maybe in this advertisement, in this advertisement for this combo, you know. But do you buy them together? I think so. I think I mean, if it's, you know, let's say you've seen something famous person wearing it.

Not Mel Gibson. No, no, probably not Mel Gibson. Let's see. Well, I try to think of a double-famous person. No, no, probably not Mel Gibson. Oh, let's see. Well, I try to think of another famous person. No, no, the famous Yamika Spice person. Mel Gibson, Mel Gibson. Oh, okay. Oh, it's him.

Oh, god, who was the guy from Lithuoweppin? Oh, it's Mel Gibson. Oh, it's Mel Gibson. There's a big band there. So this... Oh, how was the guy who directed Apocalypse? This Yamika Wise combination, is it an accident? Was there an accident at the baseball cap?

At the baseball cap factory? One of the baseball cap factory where they ended up slicing so much of their stock. What can we do with this sort of skull cap part? What can we do with this? Yeah. Sort of Skullcat part, what can we do with this sort of peak? Well, they've seen something, you know, the stamping machine that was stamping things accidentally stamped these baseball caps so that they were messed up like that.

And they've got the, you know, like, what if we just take these two bits? And we just sell them together. But what will need is a spokesperson to really pique the public's interest. I've got it. Is that guy from the Beaver? Jody Foster? The one who knows what women want. I know what women want.

And it's a hat with her. Where the brem is sold separately. Yeah, but that's like, and it's a hat with a... Where the brim is sold separately. Yeah, but that's like... And it's so great with this comfortable area around here, where there is no hat. It feels like you're not wearing a hat, but you're actually wearing two. But what?

What? Because of this area here, where all the air can get in. My hair just feels like it's blowing in the wind. Because it is. But also, it's held down securely using like a sort of some kind of toilet. I've painted a two-hat system. Two-hat system. It sounds beautiful.

It sounds like it will be a best seller. I think the two- hat hat is good. You absolutely had me at the line that feels like I'm not wearing a hat but I'm actually wearing it too. Who would have thought that the solution to the problem of feeling like you're wearing a hat would be more hats?

You know what this whole time? It's all time. You know what I thought? You need a second hat. This whole time, all I needed was I don't like wearing hats. You know what I thought? You need a second hat. This whole time, all I needed was I wasn't wearing enough. Now, and here's, I wrote this down, brims, right? We've only ever really explored the potential,

the clothing potential of the brim on the head in the hat area. But I don't see why you couldn't have a brim around your neck. What was that? Right? That shades your lower body. Like a big brim that sticks out like 50 centimeters all the way around your neck. That's quite great. Because they they have it done a little bit of experimenting with ruffs. Those kind of lisa-beath and sort of folded, starched, collory things that Shakespeare was. Yeah, and I guess those kind of skirts,

maybe any kind of skirt that looks like a hoop skirt. Hoop skirt. That's true. But I don't think no one's describing the full brim. Yeah. Like, we're being in umbrella almost. Or like a chin some brero.

It's like it goes around from your chin, the chin brim, it goes around, you brin to the back of your head, but it comes out like, you know, it looks like a frill neck lizard. What do you need to wear any other clothes underneath? Like, if you want for sun, not for sun protection. Yes. Yes. So this could be for the sun-conscious nudist. That's perfect. Or anyone who just wants to be comfortable out. So maybe you don't wear, maybe you wear some clothes, maybe an optional.

Like a... Boxer shorts. And gloves. Boxer shorts and white gloves. And an axe. Looney Tunes Boxer shorts. And Looney Tunes gloves. like just white gloves, but it looks like the kind of gloves are cartoon character. Like Mickey Mouse or Bug's Bunny Waste Clubs.

Does he? Yeah, check it out. Look at it. What is the history behind that? I think it's a menstrual thing. I don't think it's good. No. A menstrual thing.

No. Put it in an eye there instead. Minstrel. Yeah. I think it's good. No. A menstrual thing. No. No. Put it in an eye there instead. Minstrel. Yeah. I think it's a menstrual thing. Black and white, menstrual show. Yeah. Not ideal.

Not ideal history. Maybe look, let's just go back to no gloves. No gloves. No fingerless gloves. That's much better. Yeah, motor cycle. Or those gloves that go halfway up your arms. Well, another thing is that you could have a brim around every single one of your fingers.

Finger brims. And what would they protect from tips? You fingers from sometimes, sometimes you don't need it. If your hands are hanging by your sides, right, the sun beating down, right? The tips of your fingers are being protected. Sometimes things don't need to just be functional though. That's true. We can think about this as a purely...

Sometimes things don't have to be even functional. No. Well I mean, if the brim was kind of acted like a little ball that went all the way up to the top of your finger, or like a cone around a dog's head, you know, so like each one of your fingers had undergone like a cone around a dog's head. So like each one of your fingers that undergone an operation and you were trying to. It's kind of like you put chezels on your whole finger. So the whole finger chezels. Yes, if you had that there, but you could put different kinds of dips within each brimble. Or some water or something to drink later

on. Shots, you could do shots out of your own finger brims. It's pretty good. I mean, it's a dream's wrong me. Boys gather around my finger brims and sip. That way you can have 10 dishes at once. And if you've got a friend, you can have 20 dishes at once. A few little morsels. Yeah. And you just tip them into your mouth. Yeah. Yeah, it's hard to control the pinky finger independently. dishes a few little morsels yeah and you just tip them into your mouth yeah yeah I it's hard to control the the pinky finger independently look I know these these it doesn't 100% sure it's you can use a straw or in them but these are how good

ideas are eventually reached by going good to begin with by going past ideas like this this is how we get to good ideas right Right, this down, Elisdair. I absolutely think this is a thing. They got a little rubberized kind of, you could do this with silicone, right? We are making this happen. So the seal at the bottom, where you go to a party and somebody's got beer,

long necks of beer, gaffer tape to their hands. What do you call that? Beer gloves, or something? Yeah, it is, you call that university, right? But you get a tape, but that, but this is for people who like to prefer just like to have a little, a little shot of like a liqueur. Yeah, of course. So they've just got like some quantro in each finger, maybe a little bit of dram-buey.

Mm-hmm. And then maybe some blue curricut. Oh, are you thinking about that you could use them to mix into each other to create... You could make cocktails. You could make shooters. You know, you could have little baleys on one side and little butterscotch snaps in the other one.

Make some cocksucking cowboys. You mix them in your mouth. Mix them in your mouth. Mix them in your mouth. Get a little this one and get a little this one. Make a little slippery nibble. I mean, your hands won't be so useful for other things, but you're there to have a good time.

You know what I'll do? Keep you off your phone. It'll keep you off your phone. Yeah. This means, that's perfect for parties. Yeah. You want to encourage people to talk to each other. But if you don't want to encourage drinking,

as well, you could instead put sort of like, burning acid in there. You can keep your fingers up right like this, you don't spill it onto the rest of your skin. Okay, and it'll keep you off your phone. And one of the virtues is that this is, it's very difficult to drink using this method, so people won't be able to drink very much. It's true, all in the first place, because it's not very practical. Beautiful.

It just has so much going for it. You know what? I think we're going to... So this is kind of like a thing. This is like a finger party. Exactly. But a different finger part to the normal type of finger party. The normal type of finger party. Not your normal finger party. Yes, not your dad's finger party. Can I tell you a little bit more about Harry's? I'd love that. You know, I about Harry's? I'd love that. You know, I use Harry's? I did know that about you.

Slash think think tank to start shaving better today. Gosh. Well, we have to tank to start shaving better today. Gosh, well, we have to go to three words from a listener. I don't know if you know about this, but. No, I don't. You know, I know. Some people who donate to our Patreon, some people. Some people do. Right.

And those who do, they can suggest three words to, to, you know, first two. Do you have three words for us today? Well, I do have three words from listener James Roy. And what, what Alistair does is he gets me to try and guess the words. Oh, okay. But because you're here. Yeah.

Maybe you'd like to try and guess the words. I'd love to guess. Okay, so which one of the words? So the word, thanks James for supporting us. Oh, thank you so much. Oh, thank you so much. James, God bless you. Which one of the words would you like supporting us. Oh, thank you so much. God bless you Which one of the words would you like me to guess? Could you guess the third word? Is it

Constantinople God that's very wrong Andy would you want it? We go do you think he's better at it than me? I could I always get it wrong as well Yeah, but I mean relief to know that I'm not, it's not just me getting it. A regular bunch of, what was it called, the thumper? Fumbleers. The thumper. Yeah, it's what it's like to be the, you know, it's, look, I'm sure that guessing this is as good as the odds of winning the lottery.

Is it plug? No, it's experiences. Oh, okay. Oh, okay. Okay, can we, can we get the first one? Okay. Sure Folder Roy As soon as you start coming up with words that don't actually exist you really brought the field You've made more work for yourself

If anything you've made, more work for yourself. Yeah. Well, at least you're failing on your own terms, and I like that a bit. He's not making it worse. He's not making it worse for himself because he's not getting another go at that. No, okay, okay.

Glimps. And he knows, it's all encompassing. Is that one word? Yeah, there's a dash. All encompassing something experiences. Yeah, okay. Do you want to know what I guess what the something is? But here's a hint.

It's not something. What's the pop top? No, Pete. And you said butt, is that what you guess is butt? Human butt? Human butt. A dog butt. Incomposing butt experiences. All incomposing but experiences. Or experience. No, it's background. All in encompassing background experience. Yeah. And incredible combination of words. All right, because I can think of some background experiences. But I don't know if I can think of. Like being at the horizon.

Yeah. Are we all at a horizon? Or if you think about, if you could see some people say in the distance and they look like they're either having a really great time or maybe it's something very dramatic is having to them, you're in the background of their thing, right? That's true. You might not realize, but you're in the background. You're just, like scene dressing for their particular play.

You're an out of focus sort of, yeah, bit of detail. Yeah, rubarbing in the background. We're all a random to somebody. Yeah, but I don't know what all encompassing means. Does that mean that you were never in the foreground ever? I mean, it could be nice to know that you're not one of the main characters.

Yeah, like, you know, let's say like it's the Truman show. Yeah. Kind of scenario. But you know you just get to be one of the background characters. You don't even have a speaking role. You just walk on, walk off. And it's your job at all times to just be 12 houses down. Yeah, and just eating breakfast, that in the window.

And not be doing it in any way that would draw attention to yourself at all. There's no flair to what you're doing, you're completely receding. It's just a job. I think the Truman Show told from the perspective of one of the extras on the loop. That's interesting.

That's quite interesting. On the loop, what does that mean? Well, he's the lot. That's what alerted him to the fact that he was in this thing, because the extras were on a loop. They kept going around at the same time. Every three hours or something, he'd see the person on the bicycle go past. They'd have to have sort of scheduled patterns

and things like that. Although I don't know why you would have that. You'd just be like, just go out there and just do stuff. You don't have to do something on a particular pattern that would be insane. I guess because they wanted control over what was happening and they didn't want people to actually do things They just wanted the appearance appearance of a real world

But what would be the story for this person like of a film in the story of this person? What would make it interesting to follow this person? Yes What about your idea would be interesting if it was different Andy? Well, I guess the one thing that I've noticed is that people who are extras are universally insane. Whenever I've been on a film set or something like that, extras are weird lunatics who wanna have a conversation with you.

And then you're like, because I've been on film sets as somebody who has a line, right, there's always a culture divide between the actors and even the featured actress, extras, and then the regular extras who are all just nutcases. Regular extras. So they go, they're all on the books and places and they're doing this stuff all the time every week they're going out and, you know, being in the background of ads and doing the background and TV stuff. I've definitely done this before. And being the extra numerous times. And did you find yourself becoming more weird than usual

as a result? I think sometimes you find yourself like, because you're around these people who you don't know. And you have a lot of time with them. One point, one time I had to walk, I was there for like nine hours, and I had to walk twice with a with a

Wheelchair pushing it and then we waited for the other nine hours And so then I would talk to people there's one this wasn't that time but another time I did spend a bunch of time with this girl and like just talking to her and then I found out that she went to like Melbourne Uni and then that she stayed in some one of the colleges like you stayed on campus But then she started telling me about this thing about like how they all would wear robes Yes during different things and I was like that sounds so stupid And she's like oh we quite like it. I go I know, but it's so pretentious and over the top and ridiculous and he goes, oh, we quite liked it and they go, but why?

You just thought you think like you're in Harry Potter or something like that and then I did this so you actually did it Warrobes, like no, there was a formal why didn't do it right there'd be a formal dinner on Fridays You expected to wear your where best bits. Wear your like, like your academic gown, that big black robe thing to dinner. And so, yeah. For no reason. Yeah.

Everybody has to have a robe and you wear it to dinner once a week. Yeah. And there's a speech from the dean. But you couldn't put any flair on it or anything. No, you can't blame your robe. No. Yeah. Which there's a speech from the Dean. But you couldn't put any flair on it or anything. No, you can't blame your robe. No. Yeah. Which is a real shame. Because it just sounds like an opportunity for people to get annoyed with you for not doing the right thing. That's all it kind of seems like to me. Yeah. And so then anyway, after I started flipping out about this, but I was

like, it sounds like the word sounds like. Yeah, you do sound like... And then, anyway, she eventually just, she wasn't around me anymore. Do you think that the act of being an extra and then having nothing to say would have an effect on your psyche? So like, enforced and like, it's on silence. So you're, maybe you're not being silent, but you have nothing to say and you will not

make an impact. Like the psychological impact of that. Well, you also, you have to mime all your conversations. So like no one ever hears anything that you say and you never hear anything that the other person says. There would be like a mental toll to be paid. So like imagine going into your job and then pretending to do your job, like just miming it out, not doing it really, just doing the sort of in a way that from a distance it looks

like you're doing whatever it is you do for work. And then doing that incessantly. Okay, what about this, right? You run a business, you have a business, and you have a certain number of actual employees, but then you hire a bunch of extras as well. You have like, you know, on any given day, there's just 10 extras around the office, just miming things and pretending to do work,

and sort of having quiet conversations in the background, because what we actually found is that there's a certain threshold where your business needs to seem busy and active in order to get the maximum productivity from your actual employees. And while you might not need those extra actual employees at this point, the people you have will benefit from this. So it's worth spending that bit of money, 200 bucks a day or something, it's much cheaper than hiring an actual engineer. You just pay an extra to do busy work in the background and you know it boosts productivity. Boosts morale. Yeah. I mean I think you're describing what law the public service is like.

I think I'm describing what I was like when I was working as an edge it in. Yeah. Yeah. All right. I think that's something. Yeah. Right. And, you know, maybe you're at work one day and you're talking to someone in the kitchen out, you turn to talk, you say, hey, and they say, oh, I'm actually just an extra. Actually. Sorry.

I don't know. I won't be working on that project or any others. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I'm not actually even supposed to talk to you. I just, I'm just miving things. And then you look and they like don't even have any tea in their mug, they're just pretend. But I think for them to more effectively do this pretend, they would have to have their own pretend, say if they're an engineer, their own pretend clients, projects, meetings.

I mean, really interesting to see what kind of stuff they're drawing or they're computer. It's like this sort of shadow, like they don't get paid for this. I mean, they do get paid to pretend, but none of these projects really make any real money, they probably make pretend money, which they could then spend at other places which have similar employees to pretend to us. So you get a not cup of coffee from someone who's pretending to be a barista. Correct. In order to make it look like there's enough staff to satisfy a demand. This would really work at one of those building.

What is it? It's like a business park where it's like it's a bunch of different buildings that have just been developed just to bring in new businesses into this place. And it's like, well, it's not busy right now, but we're really trying to lure businesses buildings that have just been developed just bringing new businesses into this place. And it's like, well, it's not busy right now, but we're really trying to lure businesses to make it seem like it's a vibrant place. So we've got a cafe down there. Everyone's in actors just kind of like pretending like they were having coffees. Like they should have done this with docklands to make it seem less desolate when they were developing, make it seem people are laughing, playing the park. But I love that there's a full consultancy business

called Zerto, it corporate, or something, and everyone there is just an extra. And then all just pretend you're not of them have any experience or know anything. So it's all just pretend. They're meeting at the cafe, and they're looking over plans and showing each other stuff. And you know, one of them's just got a huge picture

of a duck. Another one has a list of all the capital cities in Africa. Because it's important to have businesses and whether or not they make any money or do anything is not important. Well, it's not important. This will be what we're all doing after the robots take over. Yeah. Right?

We'll just be sort of busy, we'll be back, all encompassing background experience will be our lot in life. And from a distance, we'll get to a certain stage in terms of like wealth is concentrating and less and less people own more and more. So soon pretty much the only people with any money will maybe like be 10 people. And then everyone else is just background for those people. I think that that's nice. That's nice.

It's like having an entourage that you don't have to even engage with. Yeah. They have it, there's a world of pretend people who do things that aren't important and don't matter that you can just as one of these 10 ultra wealthy people just walk through the world and see them and feel like the world is still operating. But really it's not because you yourself are the only economic force that is flying with any agency. Yeah, you just make it seem like people are really friendly. It's like, oh, since the apocalypse, people have become super friendly, but it's just

the people you're paying to be around you. And they're just like, morning, you're like, good morning. I think of the billionaire like that. That's a nice idea. A billionaire, an ultra, ultra billionaire who sort of is a bit nostalgic for this idea of living this little village lifestyle. So they just hire 2,000 people to just play act out like they're all living in a little rural village hmm, you know, and they pretend to be just somebody riding around on their bicycle a little

and they're scared of the real world. They can't trust people in the real world because they try and attack them and steal all their money Like an ultimate gated community. Yeah, not even no gates just complete walls. Yeah, and no real community. I know even no gates, just complete walls. Yeah, and no real community, I know. No. It's like being inside the Sims or something like that. Yeah, it's just various improv trips that have been recruited and scattered and things like that that no one has any kind of.

And bread. And bread to be a perfect new community plan. But you would still need some sort of mastermind to try and make it it so it's interesting. Like the Sim's. A director like Ed Sheeran? No, the guy from the Truman Show. The Truman Show.

Yeah, I remember. But he said Ed because he was a thing of Ed TV, which is a lot like the Truman Show. Well, this actors name might be Ed something. Yeah, he wears a beret. Ed Helms? No. Who's Ed Helms? Maybe nobody.

No, no, he's former, the early show person, and he's the guy who loses the teeth in the hangover. Are you thinking of head Helms? Yes. Which is my hat store. Yes. It's where you get, you buy your two hats, right?

They're headhelms. Great. It's like a helmet without the head on the end. Yeah. Did you write down more brims? Did you write down more brims? Every brims, yeah, other brims. Yes.

Yeah, chin brims, finger brims. Do you want to take us through the sketches? Well, you're all ready for the sketches? Yes. Yes. We've got the Fumbler. He's a person who wanted to, I guess he wanted to be a hero of some sort, but he's actually, his superpower is that he gets everything wrong.

And so once he, after he's killed 18 people in an attempt to stop a bank robbery. A bank robbery. Once he gets out of jail for that, he becomes a villain, which actually makes him a hero because he does villaining so wrong. Then we have the men's shed, but it's men doing each other's dentistry. I love this. And it allows people who don't want to talk that much.

Well, they can have their mouth worked on and then the other person can do a bit of talking while they're doing, but they're also focusing on thing. And they're working on their health, working on their dental health, working on their mental health. Getting mental health through dental health. And then they also 69 in each other's mouths like that.

And sometimes they can just both do it at the same time so they both don't have to talk. They just bay. Then there's a trick, a card trick where you find out, at the end, you were the deck of cards. I think that's the one that they all want to do. I mean, more up to it. If the magician was the deck of cards the whole time

and they pull themselves, wait no. They somehow they swap places with the deck of cards and the deck of cards is holding them. And pen and teller are watching. And then pen and teller are in the deck of cards. And they open up the hands and then it's like the person whose hands that they were in is now in their hands. And it just keeps them in their cards.

It's part of a bigger card. Anyway. Sorry Pete, what do you say? No, no, just they open up their hands and there's a little version of themselves opening up their hands to the infinity. And we just discovered. hands to the infinity. And the universe collapses in on this one singular magician holding themselves forever. And he fools pen and toe. They can't guess how we did it, but it turns out it was mirrors and magnets.

Magnets, mirror is magnets. Or it's not really a trick to live inside a dead whale. Yeah. Yeah. Imagine going on pedantella to, and your trick was being inside a dead whale for two weeks. It's a stage show and they tore it all over the world. Oh, you fooled us. We thought you got into the whale. Who's that? You were born in the whale and you're only two months old. My God. And his mom was in the whale, which, yeah.

Or you're a, you are a whale stomach. That's what the dad did. Imagine if that had happened. The kid, the two months old, was a kid. Maybe there was a magician, right? But what had happened was it's just his wife had been swallowed. The pregnant wife had been swallowed by a whale. His wife had been. Yeah. The pregnant wife had been swallowed by a whale.

Or baby's a magical. And no, no, no, not the baby's wife. What? This man. Yes. His pregnant wife had been swallowed by a whale. And so he catches the whale and decides to sign them up for

Pen and tellers for us I had just moment there. I was like this is an amazing story I can't wait to hear where Alice is going with this and then I realized that we never know where we're going with anything Yeah, that this is going to be an insane, and impossible, and ultimately disappointing. No, no, no, no, it's not going to be disappointing. And then they're going to be like, well, so what's the thing?

You're going to spend two months inside of a dead whale, and then you just hear a voice from inside the whale going, yes, like that. And then they go, how did you do it? Also, this is the end of the two months. And they go, how did you do it? Did you climb inside the whale? And he goes, no, I was born!

Like that. In here, I didn't climb in. I was born. And then the dad, he's on the outside. He's on the outside. They went all this extra money. And he can pay to have the baby get out of the dead whale. The baby can choke.

To her dad throwing his voice but the side but then why did the baby need to be there at all well because that was the contestant that was the magician was spending the time in the whale I'm not surprised the pen and teleconfigure I'm just too much gold. Oh my God. Anyway, that's pretty good. I'll write it down later, I guess. I feel like I'm not wearing a hat, but I'm wearing two.

That's this new sort of skull cap and visor combo. It was a mistake, but all the best discoveries are made by a mistake. We could use that in teleport. I don't know. Destruction is the mother of invention. Exactly. Look at this.

Look at what we look for example. For example. Now it's better. Then we got other brims. You know, there's another hat based one, but this is neck slash chin brims, but also finger brims. Wrist brims. I mean, I guess they've already kind of made ankle brims,

which are the ones the mud guards. Those things? Is it kind of like an ankle brim? You mean like a gaita? Yeah, like one of those ones for, you know, stopping mud from getting in your socks or whatever. Like a spat? I don't know all these fancy farm words, Yeah, like one of those ones for you know, stop and mud from getting in your socks or whatever like a spat All the fancy farm words, but

You know just what what I described cow cow. Yeah, it's cow And then we got You know sketch from the point of view of an extra in the show Truman show, but that kind of thing. And then there's a really great story. Yeah, that's a really good one. Yeah, and then we got extras at work to make it look either more successful

or to make it the place more productive. And you make it seem like your new development is thriving. Maybe there's a few mixtures of ideas there, but there's kind of a shadow extra pretend economy industry. I think that there's a whole sitcom in this. It's just people pretending. Yes, yes. And they're just actors, but they're living lives.

I think that this might actually be a real thing. Mm. Probably. It was a surprise. Maybe in China. Sort of tempering, bringing people in, like say you've got investors coming in, you pretend that your start-up is actually full of employees and they're all very busy, even

though they're only in for that one day. Well, I guess they kind of do this for political rallies, don't they? Just some barbed-in American. Some barbed-in American, they like, you know, they're busing people to pad out the rally, make it look more. Apparently, they pay them sometimes. Yeah. Yeah.

Which, if you're just a normal supporter of a political party and there are a bunch of people there who are getting paid, you'd feel a bit left out. Totally pumped, man. Yeah, but if you're in America, there's a big chance you're probably not doing that well financially. And so you probably... You got a lot of free time You say probably nobody you probably try to find a way to get that Get some of that money paid money and then we have billionaire who pays for a community around him

Who are all actors to make it feel like you know, I think this would be a great little short film or something Maybe a long film a long film feature film, right? Maybe maybe even a, maybe. A long film, feature film, great. Maybe even a series of you in a film. Yeah, maybe like a 10 part series of long films. Wow. Yeah, okay. Directed by James Cameron. Yeah.

Well, it's got a bit of an M9 Charmelon sort of twisty vibe to it, like a bit like the village or something like that. Haven't seen it yet, don't run it for me. Wow, it's about a billionaire. Oh my God, this is kind of what this is. It's inside a while. It's not, it's not, no, it's not. He's wrong.

And then there's also a guy, this is not a sketch, but he's a ghost, driving a convertible wearing a hat. Yeah, run that down now. So.
