You know, and apologies for not releasing a proper episode last week, but you know, showing you behind the curtain at one of the Patreon

exclusive, once they were once exclusive. And now the word is out. But we just keep them behind a curtain. We just keep anybody can tweak it side and have a bit of a peak. But there's lots of that kind of stuff and sci-fi try guys behind the Patreon curtain. But that's not what we're talking about today, but today we are's not what we're talking about today But today we are doing something a tiny bit different Because there has been some some people signing up to the patreon. There's been an influx of people signing up to the patreon supporting the podcast giving us three eight dollar donations It's it's you know breathtaking. It's been breathtaking and we thank you But we thought because there's a lot of the three word suggestions

piling up, we thought that today maybe we would try to dedicate an episode to three word suggestions and try to get to a few. Correct. We'll see how we go. Probably five. Maybe six. Will we do the regular five sketches? Yeah, but with Patreon suggestions. And then afterwards we always do an extra one. And this time something special will do it with a Patreon suggestion. I think that that would be a beautiful way of doing it Andy. I was already contemplating also doing that. Yeah, great. Sounds like it's gonna happen. God, well, we got both Andy and Alan board. Yeah, that's a that's almost a quorum here in the think tank.

Should I start by reading a... Let's just start by reading out Al. How about this? This is from Miles. Thanks, Miles. Milays. Yes, Milays. Milays.

It could be that. Milays. Kalomilays. Oh, your three words are. Yes. Spaceboy. Sp... B-O-T-H. S-E-R-E-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-S-F-A-O-T-C-H.

B-U-T-S! Yeah, great. And ass hat. But it could also be as sh-t. A sh-t. Yeah. A sh-t. Sounds, um, sounds Indian.

No, sounds like a sort of a hiddenoo temple. Yeah. Of a. Sounds Indian. Sounds like a sort of a hidden new temple. Yeah. Of a shot. That's right. That is beautiful. And I mean, that's a good place to start. You know. I mean, is a yacht a thing? Is a yacht? It's sort of like a sticky yacht. You know. It's kind of like a sticky yacht. You know. Look. You know, this is something that I've never noticed before. But almost no forms of transport are sticky.

That's true. That's true. It's almost like it's a real gap in the market. If you're, say, an entrepreneur, you know, and you're looking for things that people maybe not necessarily want, but haven't made yet. That's a part because maybe people don't know that they want it. Who's to say what's the better way to go about your entrepreneurial business? One is to, like, look for things that people want and then see if there's a gap in the market for that.

And the other one is to not worry about whether or not people want it, but just look for the gaps. That's true. Well, we know that the skateboard has grip on the top, right? Sandpaper. Yeah.

And that's in a form. It's like it's like it's like, it's like a dry stickiness. It's like a dry stickiness. It's friction it's like it's like it's like a dry stickiness. It's like a dry stickiness. It's friction. Right now. And we know a snowboard is slick on top, but it's got straps. To hold you there. Which is the ultimate friction sort of in the way. And so it's like you don't, if you, once you don't trust friction anymore. Mm. You know. Well, let's say instead of straps, there were sort of just two huge sticky globules.

Mm. Well, what about instead of seat belts? Mm-hmm. Okay. The seats in cars were just sticky. I love that. You know? It's kind of like a bean bag,

but it's like a gummy, a gummy kind of honey style thing that you sit in. That's sort of like a bean bag, but it's like a gummy, a gummy kind of honey style thing that you sit in. That's sort of stiff, but it kind of envelops you a little bit. Now, imagine a bean bag, but the balls inside, instead of being that foamy stuff, there's sort of a bit more like a frog's egg. You know, there's sort of gelatinous and gloopy. Right. Then you plong down onto it and some of that oozes out through the fabric, right? Clings onto your back.

Clings onto you, right? And then when you want to pull out, when you pull off, it kind of unclings and then seeps back in due to its own surface tension or whatever. You did some sort of a thing, you know, it unclean somehow it knows. Well, you pull away from it because you don't want to just be able to pull away from it because then when you crash the car, you'll go, Oh, no, but it's a winch, but it's like a, it's like one of those, like, like sort of like a non-Newtonian fluid, but for sort of harder oozes,

non-Newtonian fluid. Yeah, non-Newtonian fluid, but for sort of harder oozes. Non-Newtonian fluid. Yeah, non-Newtonian fluid. And so then when you apply hard pressure, it gets really stiff. It's actually a really, really good idea. They need to come up with a kind of glue that's only strong sometimes. Maybe that already exists. But then, is there the risk? This is my, the one risk I can see with this is when you're breaking really softly,

could you then really slowly go through the windshield? For the windscreen. But then why couldn't the windscreen also be made of this stuff, so that it's like a nice soft when you hit it slowly. You just sort of ooze through it. Yeah, or It's like bam slavag into a brick wall. Oh be awful But if you do get thrown at it slowly, it kind of like gently catches you and kind of cuddles you It's almost like a circle surround you. Yeah, maybe blocks your airways. Your airways? Well, unfortunately, that's maybe the only other downside. I think I think sticky car seats could really be a thing because if there's one thing that we all agree

it's that seat belts are for dogs. Right? Well, that's right. Like we would drive passing people in a jeep the other day, like an old World War II style jeep. I bet that in the war, though all those cool soldiers off to fight cool wars, I bet they weren't wearing seatbelts. Right? Of course not. No, because you like, it feels like if you go into battle wearing a seatbelt, in a way you've already lost Right, you've lost not the high moral ground, but the high cool ground. That's right. And what would you rather be a winner? Or a door or a door Because you can be both

I think you know at the end of World War II, we found that the Nazis were both for losers and the docks. Right? So that's kind of like a double loss for them. Because they were so organized as well. Oh, I'm so organized. Doing what they're told and like having their uniforms or like, you know, fancy and that kind of stuff. Yeah, yeah. Real doork stuff. Yeah.

But then you look at some other wars, like, um, I'd see a book. What's one that I can be on the right side of historically speaking while still making this point? Oh, I know the American War of Independence, right? I know the American War of Independence, right? One that doesn't really feel like it matters historically. Great. Yeah, and it doesn't involve some just like, you know, some, forget it. The British lost, but they came out looking cool.

That's true. Yeah. And they didn't wear any seat belts. And they didn't exactly. Did they ever have seat belts on a horse and cart? Really good question. Mm, mm. I wouldn't rule it out.

Yeah. Yeah. I guess some people were probably a bit more health conscious. What about helmets? They were wear helmet helmets, whilst. I don't know. Not bike helmets, though. Not bike helmets. Is there any other business

transport that could be sticky? Let's say airplanes. Oh airplanes. You know, I mean, like, I mean, if they're sticky on the outside, I guess you'd collect a lot of bugs and stuff. Could you be in like a real like an in an egg? If you're in an egg in an airplane and it crashed, would you have less chance of that? Like a gelatinous egg? A gelatinous egg. So then you just kind of got like a little oxygen tank that you can... Yeah, and then you crash and like you just sort of fly out and just sort of bounce across the countryside and then you come to rest.

This is not that dissimilar from our other idea, which was a way of jumping out of planes using a big sandwich. Or a cake. You're inside a cake. So yeah, the egg part, I guess the harder outside might help protect the thing on the inside. It could be something that might be necessary, you know, that famously strong and hard outside of an egg. Yeah. Anyway, let's move on to a different, some different suggestions, Alistair. I think we've absolutely got something there. We could pitch this to Elon Musk.

Well, it's true. So I reckon he's looking for this kind of stuff with his new kinds of cars that don't look good or behave well. Don't turn corners very well. Is that a thing? Oh, there was some footage of him burning off in one of those new pickup trucks from something and it was a car really kind of like leans out around the corner. It looks a bit crazy. Looks like it's about to flip over.

Let's see. So another set of words that we have here is from Stephen Polbrook. Hi Stephen. Hi Steve. Oh my god, thank you so much. Steven. Steven. Steven. Okay, you do. You do. Steven. Steven.

Steven. You got to hold it. Steven. Steven. All right, that was beautiful. Yeah. Steven Pullbrook. I've never been conducted before.

Well, I was just chaining. It was really you were barbershop duetting Stephen pull broke has three words. Do you want to try and guess what one of them is? We came up with choir shop barbers on the on a different Choir of like 200 people who show up to cut your hair. Is that what the idea? That's right. Yeah, yeah Yeah, they're all dressing robes and things like that. Yeah, right.

They don't sing. No, they just cut your hair. The words are, I'm sorry, I'm just assuming that you weren't going to guess it. Yeah, and I think that would get rapidly even more tedious than it already is. I think we would have do it for tedious than it already is. I hope we could do it forever. You said on this episode. Nation? Mm.

Approbation. Flokinousenihalepilification. Nation? Probation? Yep. Flokinousenihalepilification. And. Senahalepala. Flokin' al-syn-ih-hal-lip-ah-lif-fakation. And- Sinah-hal-lip-ah-lif-fakation.

There I ask, Alistair, have you looked up the definition of flokin' al-syn-ih-ah-lif-ah-lif-fakation? Flokin' al-syn-ih-ah-lif-fakation. Because the only thing that it makes me think of is flokin'. Flokin' al-syn-ih-lif-fakation. You know, like you can get a, you can get a, um, sometimes you can get an air bed, you buy an air bed, and it's been flocked.

No, flocked air beds? You ever seen this? They were like a camping one? Yes, like a camping air bed, but the, it's all made from just some rubberized plastic or something, but they've done something to the surface of the top layer of rubber. That is, it's a little bit, it's a, you could almost imagine, it's like a bit of fabric or something like that. It's a little bit soft, a little bit hairy, like a sheet.

Yeah, right. I'm not sure if I have, maybe if it's one of those camping air beds that you and is self-inflating, is that what it is? No, it's one that you'd have to pump up with. It's one of those thicker ones. Oh, those ones it's one that you'd have to pump up with. I think one of those thicker ones is the only one that I like. Oh, those ones that are a bit hairy. Yeah, a little bit hairy.

Yeah, a little bit hairy. I know, that's kind of like an artificial valour. Mm, yeah. It's like an artificial valour. Well, you were deliberately making a joke, then. I knew immediately as I said it, that it was a joke, but it wasn't doing that on purpose. This is the action or habit of estimating something as worthless. Flack, flack-see? Nasi, nih-h-le, prolifocation.

The habit of estimating something is worthless. Like I do with everybody else's opinion. Yep. Alright? Yep. And evidence that doesn't line up with what I'm pretty already sure is some pretty convincing evidence. Flox and Orson a hillabillification. Flox and Orson a hillabillification. Flox and Orson a hillabillification.

Flox and Orson a hillabillification. I think that that might be either a made-up word that somebody made up as a joke and somehow it got included in the dictionary. Or it's a very old kind of old Britannian word, maybe that became Welsh or something like that. I don't know what accent I'm doing here, but you can tell that it's kind of from that region there in there somewhere. And you can tell it's definitely like from the sort of the British area because you feel

confident doing it. I'm very confident in doing it. And you can tell it's definitely like from the sort of the British area because you feel confident doing it. I'm very confident to be recorded. I'm doing it all over the place. It's like this here, hawks and orchid, or the feel of cures. And so, you know, there are a bunch of words there in there that are in the dictionary and that sort of thing. Very like it's, you've snuck that one through by being technically a word, right? Because you've like, you've crammed a few

technical things that are technically suffixes together and technically prefixes and that's something you made, made something that is a word but would never be used. It's taking up dead space in the dictionary and it's there to sort of mock all the words that should be in the dictionary but aren't. It's got a kind of word privilege because of where it comes from. It got in there through nepotism by being descended from actual words. But then there's lots of new words, working hard,

helping people, doing stuff for people every day by meaning things, being easy to say and being useful. And then some... Flogs in Orphani, Father Filippa Kehish. Yeah, it's just in there, it's done nothing for nobody ever. Do you think it's like the royal family?

Are there any numbers like that? A satirical number? Do you? Well, I feel like there's probably a lot of the irrational numbers. Yeah, I was about to say, the square root of minus one. Yeah, I was about to say the square root of minus one. Yeah, that's an imaginary number. That's an imaginary number.

Yeah, but like something like the square root of two, okay, is an irrational number, right? But it, but still is useful, right? Okay. Because, you know, you use it in mathematical calculations, that sort of thing. It's related to two, but then there's a bunch of irrational numbers that's sort of there, with just like an irrational number in case you don't know is one where the, you can't express it as a fraction

of two different whole numbers. Yeah, right. And pi is one and, and square root of two, E is one, you know, all these things. But some of them are useful and some of them are just there, just because they're just numbers. So you can never actually write them down.

You can never actually use them in anything because it just... We've got imaginary numbers. We've got, what was the one you just said? Irrational numbers. Are there unreasonable numbers? 34. 34, you go just stop it. Just stop doing that stop being that I guess in a way pie is an unreasonable

number because it just kind of keeps going it's got no pattern. It's just kind of it's being wacky for wacky sense because it kind of knows that you need it. Yeah, exactly. It's taking the piss, isn't it? It's taking the piss. And in fact, it's, you know, it's pie is basically piss. Or, you know, it's on the way.

Yeah. Now, is there any sketch in this? And is this in any way related to flakano? I guess it is related to the flakano, Kanerike, Hilimanifakish. I mean, we could do better with the other words that we would give a nation probation. That feels to me like, you know,

you could, the sort of situation where you could be a country, maybe you're allowed to be a country for a while, but you don't have full country rights. Yeah. I mean, it could be a thing like where, you know, let's say you've decided that you're gonna find a sort of relatively shallow bit of the middle of the ocean, international waters, and then start making yourself an island. And then once you do make it and you kind of keep making it bigger, maybe you made a lot

of money on Bitcoin or something like that, and you're just making it bigger. And then at some point you're like, oh, now the world has to pay attention because it's kind of big enough. But they're like, well, right now I'm going to put you on nation probation. We're going to let you be a country for a bit, but on your piece, on your probation. And then we'll see, you got to do some good stuff in order to be accepted by the world community. I wonder what kind of stuff you'd have to do like invent something. Oh, maybe. I mean, I of stuff you'd have to do, like invent something? Oh, maybe. I mean, I think there's a lot of countries

that probably are known, you know, that exist that aren't known for their sort of engineering prowess. I like the idea of being out in international waters and finding the shallower's bit. Like there might be a bit of international waters just somewhere in the middle of the ocean, where the waters like, you know,

only like ankle depth. Right, so you could be out there and you could probably just live. You wouldn't even have to build it up or anything. Your feet would be wet. Yeah. Sure. But you could just sort of, you know, splash around and then say,

make a pile of sand. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, you keep it all underwater. All underwater. That way, you know, they can't get you. They can't get you like that. You're still in international waters. Could this be exactly what China is doing with those Pacific islands in the Pacific?

I think it could be something. Yeah. I mean, that would definitely, I think that would be a loophole, right? Because they're just out there, they're just waiting. Yeah. They're not invading. They're invading. They're invading. They're invading.

Can you, can you breach a country's international, sort of like their state boundaries by swimming into them? I guess you can. Yeah, like is that freedom of navigation? If you're swimming, this freedom of navigation. You have kind of one man, freedom of navigation thing. Going through, yeah. Yeah, great.

So through the South China Sea. Right, right. I'm allowed to do this. I'm allowed. Can I get me for this? Yeah. But I mean, look, I mean, a country that's underwater. Mm.

I mean, it'll, it's probably gonna happen. So, yeah. That's true. I mean, do they lose their country rights when that happens? Mm. I think, uh, I don't. The foreign aid, maybe. Yeah don't think there would be certain

things that that disappear, but you might find that it's actually good. But would you create a society? What would the society look? Where would you sleep? Hmm. Maybe on each other's piggybacking? Hmm. I mean, I suppose you could still have beds, right? The beds would just sit in the water and then you'd be out of the water till I in the bed. You know what'd be really bad? Storms. Yeah, yeah, you're right. You're right, that had sucked.

Weaves coming through. Weaves, oh, I forgot about waves. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I wonder if you could set up some sort, because you know how you can have artificial wave pools on land. I wonder if you could set up some sort, because you know how you can have artificial wave pools on land. I wonder if you could build something that is sort of like an artificial wave

canceler. You know, if you could just do the whatever, you know, it just generates whatever the opposite of the wave is and cancels them out and then you can make an artificially calm section of the ocean, maybe using sort of satellites or blimps or something. Sort of like, you know, like noise-canceling headphones, but with physical waves. Exactly. I think we could turn that into a thing. Yeah. And then you just, then you just make a nation of wet, angled people in the middle of the... And mostly damp up above as well.

Sure, sure, sure. You'd be from ocean spray and things like that. You'd be damp. You'd be you'd be fairly damp and crusty salty. And it'd be one of the only countries where no matter where you are, you could be attacked by a shark. Correct. You know. Did you know fun fact?

Hmm. No, I think that's, I mean, it's a sketch idea. You're right down, right down. Yeah, I think we, you know, we, we sort of worked through some of the kinks and some of the technology. Um, I mean, what would the sketch look like though in your mind? Um, oh God. Uh, let's see.

It could, it could be a, um, could be a travel documentary type thing, like a kind of a getaway kind of thing. There's just sort of like six people live there. They just walk around the silly little sand bar. Mm. And, you know, it's a region in the middle of the ocean that they're just sort of, you know, they're trying to get their tourism cup and talking about the advantages of it.

Yeah. I guess anything goes. Wow, you can gamble as much as you want. Mm-hmm. And then you accidentally drop your chips, your poker chips and the water and they start floating. Ooh! Crab takes them.

Crab, yeah. That's not, Crab's trying to share the sand bar with you. It's a yeah. I like that the idea that there's like, there's like, you know, two of the four, six people that live there, have to be the ones holding you up while you sleep. You work in shifts. Yeah. So you like it. Because in order to maintain their status and not breach any sort of international regulations and that sort of thing, maybe they aren't allowed to have any free standing stuff that stands above the ocean. Build any infrastructure and things like that. Even they in the way in which they stand

above the ocean. They kind of, I mean, I think you're allowed to stand above the ocean, but I guess you're not allowed to build any stuff because it's technically, I'll try to probably just like it. Yeah. I think, yeah, it would piss everybody off, but they found, yeah, they found a little loophole that if you're willing to remain damp,

you can get away with a lot. Which is crazy because also the part that they're on is one of the only things that isn't whole. They're surrounded by set of ocean whole. Well, I mean, it's still a little, it's still, yeah. It's shallow. No, I know, but that's what I'm saying. Like you said, they found a loophole,

but really what they found was the opposite of a hole. A lump hole. Yeah, no, not not a hole a loop lump a loop lump Is that the flimsyest idea we've ever come up with on the shirt and how dare you I mean, I'm sure all our listeners are I mean, I'm sure all our listeners are just so pleased that they're hearing us do such good work with their ideas with their words. Thanks. Yeah, that is good. What we have next is from a person called Henry Smith. Henry Smith. Henry Smith. Henry Smith. Henry Smith.

Oh, with the words, museum, asteroid and justice. But there's a little word letter O here, and I'm not after justice. And I'm not sure whether they put that in or I accidentally put that in. Justice O. Justice O. And I like to think of that being a judge's name. Justice O, you know, so to like share, but with just one letter. There are no fabulous justices, are there? The fabulous justice O.

Yeah, and they wear like robes, but very elaborate robes, sort of. And they have a judge's wig, but it's a different kind of wig. Oh, it's very tall. Yeah, and long and wide. Yeah. It's like a, sort of like a,

like an ancient, sort of dusted, one of those ancient dusted wigs, but wide, like a sombrero. An ancient dusted wig. You know those like Shakespearean dusted wigs. 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 and 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 know, they're like a judge's wig. You mean like a wig? They're like a wig. They're like a wig. They're like a wig. They're like a wig. They're like a judge's wig. Well powder is a powder wig. It's dusted with powder. Right, right, right.

So it goes sort of straight out. Why'd I like to put that up into a big dome? Well, you know, like more like a bee hive or something. I guess that's a form of dome. I guess the domes don't have to be semi-circular. Maybe not. Yeah, probably just curved on top. Could be a flame shape. Sure. Justice O with this flame shape, Dusty wig, the most fabulous justice. And then, you know, he... Just because justice is blind, it doesn't mean it has to dress shabby. Yeah.

There's no excuse for not looking fabulous. He's a Southern. He's like a Southern lawyer. Yeah. Well, I declare. Fabulous justice. I think what were the other two words there? Fabulous justice. I think what were the other two words there? This will take tell us the direction of the sketch. Yeah. Museum Asteroid. Oh God!

It's just as always presiding over the people versus space. Because the people had their museum destroyed. By an asteroid. That would be really interesting, wouldn't it? If we started to hold, well, I mean, if you think back to the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs, I mean, that is a... Core case waiting to happen.

It absolutely is. That's a class action. And by class, I mean the... All class. No, what? I mean, yes, yes, because the justice over, I think class is one of the classifications in species. I think reptiles might even be a class.

And in which case case they have a class action against that, that asteroid. Dinosaur. Yeah. So, some reason, Justice O's always seeing this thing. Reptiles versus asteroids. Right? Oh yeah, because it's also a museum. So this is the second time an asteroid has destroyed dinosaur bones. Mmm. So, so an asteroid came back to finish off what was left of the dinosaur? What was left of the dinosaurs to really rub it in their face and destroyed a natural history museum. And that was too much for the reptiles. Well, somehow that the people as the living creatures that are left are representing the reptiles. Well, somehow that the people as the living creatures that

are left are representing the reptiles. And they're coming and they're realizing that maybe this isn't all an accident. And so the prosecution is is putting forward the suggestion that there actually is some force up there. Well, I wonder if an asteroid could be sentient. Now, hear me out, okay. The asteroid, sorry, an asteroid belt. Did I say that? If an asteroid belt could be sentient. Now, think about an asteroid belt. What is it?

It's a whole lot of asteroids, sort of all arranged. They're spread out a little bit, but sort of like that. Right, and what are they doing? They're moving around, they're bumping into each other. Maybe those bumps communicate information in some way. Maybe they act like the synapses and the neurons in the human brain. Well, maybe it operates very, very slowly over a very wide time scale. But all those rocks taken together form a consciousness. Well, I mean, if the

world really is, can be what it is it called if it really is deterministic? Then there actually is this is what I've had a discussion recently with Lonesome acid. Lawrence Lawrence lungs Oh, yes, Maya about and she works in sort of decision making cognitive sort of neuroscience kind of stuff Oh my god Yeah, and so all those researchers they don't believe that we actually make decisions. According to the evidence, it's all deterministic and it's all just happening based on chemical reactions that can all be predictable. Okay. Right. And so if that is the case, then there's no difference between the physical nature of what's happening in a brain and the physical nature of

what's happening in an asteroid belt. So consciousness itself is just a continuation of movement from the the Big Bang and so if you can Prostitute a person with their mind then you can prosecute an asteroid belt Justice all is just the judge to do it to put this asteroid belt in jail Awesome, okay, and I'll tell you the asteroid board belt, you know, you know that Obviously asteroid board is actually what's called okay, great good detail And then we're gonna bring them all down and pile them all up and then put a cage around them

Okay, maybe maybe exploit them for their minerals. I think, I think, and in that place. And that all goes to the reptiles. That's right, it'll be money to, I guess, just give suddenly reptiles become the richest animals on the planet. What, well, I mean, I guess if it were up to the reptiles, they would probably then just climb on top of those rocks and bask in the sun. That's true. And also the glory of their victory. Oh, absolutely.

But what do you think, what the reptiles would do with that money? Or do you think we could just assume that they would want us to have it? I think it would be interesting to see how long we waited before we just started taking the money off the reptile. And here you go, then suddenly they're just like, you know, we're addressing them up, trying to spend the money for them on them. Yeah, this is fun to walk. You know, we've set up an independent organization that's doing it and buying them gold chains.

Sort of like when an insane old lady leaves all their money to a cat. And there's like a caretaker who has to look after the cats. And the caretaker starts to decide that the cats want a lot of trips to the Bahamas and that kind of thing. We're like that but with reptiles. With all of the reptiles who've got this huge payout from all the minerals in these asteroid belts that were prosecuted for... What a fascinating secretive events! Well, I mean, that's what you get when you put in a few words.

I mean, we probably, for the other suggested words, we probably should have really been as elaborate of that and made sure that we were including all the words. I mean, that's a novel thought doing what we said we'd do. I'll bear it in mind. Yeah I like the I like the sound of this justice-o character as well. I think that their robes would be figure-hugging. I think one yeah one would be the front the front I mean the under robe but then there'd be this kind of frilly cape robe that kind of maybe is open at the front and the back. What about a sort of a clear plastic robe? I mean, it's black in the dark.

It's black when the lights are off. Justice, you're out of order. You're out of order. Get out of my courtroom. Sugar? I don't know. Okay. Now he's a Foxy clear passenger. I judge like one of the female protagonists

and the spy who shagged me. Or the gold finger. Gold member. Gold member. Yes. Okay. Yeah. I like it and I'm also turned on. Gold member. Yes. Okay. Yeah.

I like it, and I'm also turned on. Yeah, great. So, that's comedy. That's really good. What we got here, and you're not going to believe this, this one goes all the way back to our Good friend Daniel J. Let's play podcast. Daniel K. Daniel K

When I put things in they get corrected and I know I know I know that it's Daniel K I wonder what K stands for. You think it's Kellogg's Yes, yes Special K's that's special Kellogg's. Daniel, thank you for everything. Daniel K, thank you for everything that you do. Yeah, I hope to see you soon. Listen to his audio only. Let's play podcast.

Daniel K, let's play podcast. Daniel, Daniel is one of the most prolific and creative people on the internet and you've got to check out some of these stuff. Everything he does is good and funny. Even his interests are good and funny. Yes, correct. Excluding this one, obviously. Sure.

This isn't good or funny. We don't compliment ourselves on this podcast. That's one of the things I like about us. That's one of the core beliefs of the two and the thing tank podcasts. Okay, so Daniel K's, let's play podcast. I've suggested three words, octonauts. Mm.

Sketch. Mm. Please. Go. Ha. Ha. Ha. I feel like there's a message in there somewhere.

Yeah, but I feel like he's also, he's burned two of those words, right? You feel real confident about one of your words. You can do anything with the next two. You can coast. Good first word and just coast. And this thing is that with the other word, please, I mean, the word please is both sort of a polite request For what you want, but it's also the effect that you want the other person's actions to have on you To please you yeah, yeah, this pleases me. Let's focus on the words sketch please

I think that's I think that's what dad is You know two thirds of the words, other words, sketch please. I think if he, we came up with something based on that, I reckon he'd be, he'd be two thirds happy. I mean, do you think Justice O's full name is Justice Octonauts? I've only seen one episode of the Octonauts, but I really, I liked the look of it. As a family who watches way too much poor patrol, the worst television show in the world that I hate and that makes the world worse and is ruining the minds of my children poisoning me against them, my children as well, as I'm driving our family apart. But driving them, but it's real dogs driving them around. Correct.

You're family apart. Yes. Octinotes seemed fun, seemed creative, and seemed to have interesting information. Somewhat educational. They teach you about basically a new and sort of more rare sort of sea creature each episode. Yeah, I didn't know that, but. Well, in the episode you would have seen they would have taught you about a sea creature.

There was an octopus of some kind, but I figured they probably was in every episode because it's called Octanauts. Well, that might be the base that they're in. Oh, no, but you're right. There was a tiny little sort of plankton type thing as well that was living in water that was red because of rust. I was like, oh, this is all really interesting information.

Do you think that water that was rust? Do you think that's that, you know, how there's that thing where it's like dust that flies off from the Sahara, flies up into the air and lands in the ocean and is responsible for like a huge part of the nutrition that the ocean gets and is you know responsible for flourishing of many creatures and things like that is that you think it's part of that. I have never heard any of this, Alistair. That's real interesting.

Turns out that even deserts that we consider to be pointless and kind of real waste of space. Yeah, we all do. They also serve a purpose. Mm, like that. Anyway. So they're sort of seasoning the oceans with whatever. Top soil or top sand. I think salt makes everything more delicious, except for the ocean.

Right, it makes water less delicious. It's weird, isn't it? But that's because there's too much salt. Maybe, yeah. You think it's just a little bit of salt into some water. Just the right amount could really sort of enhance the flavor of the water. Yeah. It just brings out the chlorine.

The chlorine. Yeah. Ah. Oh, you can really taste the lead leaching out of the pipes. Mm-hmm. Can we eat? Wonder what lead tastes like. Oh, you want to know that? I do want to to know you think that maybe just before we die we could

have a little lick. Well, you know, a lot of people are like, well, if I get too old I'm just going to give myself a big shot of heroin, you know, just so I can know what it's like. Well, we don't have to do that because we're going to do something way funner and more creative because we're going to suck on a lead pipe. How I mean, if you could taste the lead, how would you have the lead? I guess, I guess I would just, I would just suck on a pipe. Like I know it's like a soft metal. So it'd be quite nice to be able to bite into a metal and see little

dents in there. Yeah, that would be satisfying. That would be satisfying. You'd really feel like you'd made an impact. Yeah. On the world. Well, I guess, look, is there a way to integrate these kinds of ideas of interesting experiences that you can only do right before you die? Into an episode of the Octanolous. Well, and an underwater team that goes on adventures and things like that, maybe like an underwater team that gets called out to sort of the different people who are basically on the end and it helps them fulfill their last wish that may

kill them as well. Yeah, absolutely. I like the idea of, you know how sometimes a children's show will do a special episode where they somehow deal with death and help help kids to like sort of process that idea. This show will be that every episode. Except for one. Except for one where something happens in the real world that they feel but they have to address. Well, I was thinking was something that happens where they have to address a specific

sea creature in one episode they go and this is a special episode where it's just about that man to shrimp. I think that's really good. So it's an under one. A team who have an underwater base. Yeah. And then they have like every episode they address death. They address. And grieving. Yeah, and a person who's like either wants to die or is at the end of their life for various reasons. or is at the end of their life for various reasons.

And then they help them do something that they've always wanted to do, but that probably will kill them, but it doesn't matter now to them because they're about to die. So every episode is a very special episode, except for one episode. Except for one, which is about mantis. And it's lost its brother or something like that.

And they help them find that. I have a tea party. But that's the only episode they call a special episode. No, no, no, I think every other episode is a very special episode. And this one's not a special episode. Yeah. Yeah, okay. Great.

And what do we call it? We call it, um, octomarts. What does the octomine in that? Well, they're octopuses. Oh, they're all octopuses. Or they, they just wear an octopus costume. Sure. They, they, which you actually have to keep dry.

Okay. So they, it's water soluble. It's made from, it's really heavy if you go in the water with it So they have to like be in bubbles. They have to sort of be in sort of like you know underwater scooter bubbles Right, so they are still underwater. Yeah, they have an underwater team. This is why it's still kind of an octanon sketch So this is what I'm saying. It's like this is what's interesting about them They have a base underwater. They could be like these people who live in this ankle deep water. I think I thought what was interesting about them was that they exclusively address death.

Well, that's it. That is interesting. But the fact that they're a team who live together underwater in a base probably so they can avoid land tax. No, you're right. You know, there's no water tax is there. I don't think so. Not that I know of, but I haven't worked in fisheries. I wonder if you could, you know, if you were on land, right? If you're on land, you could maybe flood it as a way to avoid land tax, right? So you've got a property.

You've got, you know, 200 acres or whatever. You're sick of having to pay for it. If there was a big lake in the middle of that property, you wouldn't have to pay for that land. Okay, because that's underwater. But what you can do is you can build just a very small wall, all the way around the outside of your property and then just fill it up with water. That's a great idea. And then loophole. No more land tax for you. That's right. And then suddenly we

already have we have the the other sketch that we had from before with these people who live in a sort of a couple of inches of water. But we didn't know what to do with. But now on land. On land now it's something. Yeah, it's something. I, I like that, Andy. Thanks. Thank you, Daniel J. Mmm. Less, let's K. Plug.

Clan. Mmm. Next. Our next listener who's donated three words is James Roy. James Roy. James Roy. R-O.Y.E. would you say Roy? Roy Roy a Roja, Roger. Well, I think knowing how you like to type things on the On the phone probably just James Roy a yeah, you put the a in there. That's true

Okay, you're ready for this. Mm? First word, all encompassing. Really good. Second word, background. Okay. And third word, experience. All encompassing background experience. Interesting. It's almost very evocative.

I've had these words on the podcast before. But it's possible that we haven't as well. background experience. Interesting. It's almost very evocative. I've had these words on the podcast before, but it's possible that we haven't as well. All encompassing background experience. Yeah. Yeah, right. I mean, what if we, what if we as a, as a, as a space. Have I read this out before?

I don't know. What if we as a species had never learned about editing, right? Yeah. So every time you want to tell a story, you've got to start from the beginning of your life and tell up to that point. Yeah. Would that be interesting in any way? Like. But then why would you edit it by starting it at the time of your beginning of your life

and not at the beginning of time? Yeah, you're probably right. I think we don't know about editing. How do we know? And then nobody has ever written the story to its conclusion, gotten to even the current day. And so the race is that you've got to write your story so fast throughout your life to try and get to the story you actually want to tell. Everyone's all filling in the background. What about Alistair? Everyone's always told you, Matt, are we living in a simulation?

Yeah. What if we're not living in a simulation? What if we're living in a story? And what if this is? What if this is just a, you said we might be holograms? What if we are just a hologram? What if we're just an, you know, a projection of somebody telling a story about a different universe, right?

And they're just trying to get up to the point where the thing that they're talking about happens, okay? And that's when the universe will end, but they finally get to the thing that they were trying to say. So in order to tell the story, they have to give all the detail, and then that's just us, you know, this would fit in with your thing about everything being deterministic. It's not things aren't happening because of, you know, choices, things are happening because that's what happened in the story. And the universe is

expanding because of all the world building that's happening. Correct. And the reason why it's still speeding up that physicists can't explain is because the person telling the story is getting really excited because he knows a good bit's coming up. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. I mean, it could be, we could be getting to something.

And so, but then what is so in the sketch, this is almost more like a sci-fi story maybe, but we we somehow find a way to discover or we somehow discover how to get outside of the story and see that we're inside a mind or see that we're where are we are we where does this physical thing this hologram sort of manifest itself? Is it in the mind of a person we realize that we're in a brain, that we're, you can see the synapses or something like that through, we got like, they realize all the little subatomic particles that we thought were, you know, part made of a matter, were actually just made up of ideas and the mental picture.

They're all just plot points. At its fundamental source, it's just electricity, just energy. So then we're like, we realize that's, you know, and so then we're like, fuck, and then we somehow get to the outside of that. And then we start climbing out of the things ear. And we get to see the universe as it is. It's pretty much the same, but bigger. Yeah, I think so, more detailed, right?

More detailed. Because they're always going to have to look over looked some level of detail, right? So that's why there's a level of detail that we can't observe. Smaller than the universe, the detail level of the universe. They're just in a much more detailed universe and we're sort of a summary. But how do we break? That sort of happened in that universe up until that point. How do we get from the level of being in the mind to being reality?

There's got to be like, maybe at this point, bodies have 3D printers in them that allow you to take your ideas and make them real. Yeah, I mean it's hard to imagine because I can't quite picture any examples in my experience where a character has gone from being in a story to being being real except perhaps for the movie last action hero with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Well, what about Homer when he goes through that vortex and he falls into a real world? In a 3-D world, yeah, that episode of Treehouse of Horror. Yeah. But, um, yeah. But like, imagine this, right? So let's say you're telling a story and you've created this character, right, in your mind, who has a certain number of traits, right?

But as you somehow are transferring them, I don't know, let's say your brain knows that what has to be in a brain because it remembers what was in your brain at the beginning of time. So it gives it that property plus the property of all these constructed memories that you've applied to this character in your head. And then it starts to put those into a tiny, I don't know, it does, you know, like, you know, like snails can have sex with themselves.

It does, it creates, yeah, it creates like, you know know like single creature recreation of loveable law That starts happening using some of this person's sperm goes up into their belly Right, and then it starts splitting but then all the proteins come and they edit the DNA So that it matches the one of the person in the what they look like in the story And then they start to grow in their belly, and then they come out their belly button. You give birth to a character, the character telling a story. With the ideas.

This is Alistair, in this other universe where this is taking place, this is how they reproduce. You have to tell a sufficiently detailed story of the origin of a universe to build up to the point where one of your characters is so detailed that there's enough information there for them to be real. Something becomes real once it reaches a level of detail that is equivalent to the level of detail that's encoded into anything that's in your universe. Because that's all existences. It's just information. So all you go do is just got to get enough information into one place.

And then something will become real. That's how it works in this universe. So every parent, rather than, you know, having sex or something disgusting like that, you just tell a really, really detailed story and you get to a point and then you give birth to the protagonist of your story. God, I hope it's me. I hope I'm the protagonist of this story, and not just one of the best universal background experience, all in coming to seeing background characters required to give detail.

But all these people are important in the building of how this person's life, you know, unconsciousness is shaped. So you could be important. I don't want to be important, Alistair. I want to be real. I want to be a real boy or blob or whatever kind of creature they are in this universe. Universe. Universe.

Choose. But, and maybe somewhere along telling the story, you have an orgasm. Oh, I hope so. Well, the climax of the story, presumably. an orgasm. Oh, I hope so. Well, the climax of the story, presumably. Yes, well, you know, that's what it's like. I reached climax. Sorry, the climax. You know, for where people were produced

by telling a story. A narrator gasm. Narrator gasm. Yes, I'll write that down in truth. Or Narra, Narra, Torgasm. Narra, Torgasm. Or organism. Narra, organism.

And then look at what time we need to be at that thing. So I do want to just pause it for one second. Thanks for bearing with us for the duration of that pause in the recording. That I knew pause that while we had a little panic. Thanks for bearing with us for the duration of that pause in the recording. I knew pause that while we had a little panic. I feel like that's basically what my mum does every time she tells a story. She honestly, if she wants to tell a story, she goes so far back and gives so much detail. It is like she is trying to create an entirely new universe.

Well, you know, I was told that reading shouldn't be about what the story is, it should be about the enjoyment of the journey, enjoying the words and the descriptions and the beauty of it. Yeah, and that's exactly the experience I'm able to eliminate every time I go and read a synopsis on Wikipedia. I think this story- pro-creation thing is quite, it's a really interesting philosophical, philosophically it's fascinating. Like I feel like if I was Jorge Luay Bourd-Hays and I wrote that as really well like he does, I'd probably win a Nobel Prize, probably. Yeah, I mean, not a lot of

doubt. Yes. And then the last, I guess, now we're just going to do, we've already got five sketches, so we're just going to do three words from a listener. And we're going to go to a very recent addition to the to the Patreon. The Patreon pantheon. Yes. Jimbery. Jimbery. Jimbery. Jimbery. Jimbery. Jimbery. Jimbery. Jimbery. Jimbery. Jimbery. Jimbery.

I mean, it's a, it's a postman who died. Yeah. But then turned into an egg. And then is and then comes back to life and then finishes the job because he's got unfinished business. A bag of mail. A bag of mail. I mean, it wouldn't be really all that surprising to me if postman did reproduce

via eggs that are kind of like envelopes. Right? So like they they'll post an envelope through your slot. And if you leave the envelope unopened for long enough, right, it'll sort of start to swell up until it's like a parcel and then it'll turn into a package and then it'll eventually burst open and there'll be another postman there. Yeah, maybe the final stage is a mailbox and then inside a fully grown adult mailman comes out. Yeah. He has the key. He's got the key. Yes. Like that. Comes out. You're going to, sorry, excuse me, don't mean to be a bother.

No, he's just knocks on your door and he leaves a little note. It wouldn't, like, it, like, it, it, it just seems to make sense to me because, because you think about being a postman, right? If they, if they weren't a human, but they were more like a sort of a plant, right? Yeah. Think about plants. They need to distribute their seeds as far and wide as they can. And the way that they do that is by making something that is desirable, which is a fruit.

So it's eaten by monkeys or birds or whatever, and then they fly around and they poop that out. Now, if you're a postman and you reproduce via envelopes, make sense that you create the entire idea of a male network and you do distribute other people's male and that sort of thing as well. But you put your seat in it. To give an excuse for going out and putting it into people's letter boxes so that they take it into their houses or whatever, spreads it out far and wide, but then some of those envelopes, like those ones that

are just addressed to the householder, that you know are just like some sort of bullshit spam, right? They're the ones that are actually the reproductive material for the post-posment that you go and you just put in a cupboard and you forget about them and then over time, they, they, they, they, they, Do you think that they get the other genetic material

from the edge of your letter box? You know, as they pop it in, it's wherever you've run your fingers. It gets insinminated or something. Yeah, you've run your fingers along there to try to get mail out in the past. And it's always kind of like awkward trying to get your finger in the hole.

It's scratchy. It's scratchy things like that. Little skin cells get in there. And then that mail meant slots in is dirty to the household. Unfertilized mail man slots in his dirty to the household. Unfertilized male. Fertilized to the household envelope. Yeah. And then slowly but surely, I mean, if you don't just pop that straight into the recycling

bin, and instead you put it in a little pile of letters that you will check one day, that's how they breed. Correct. That's the, that's the, that's the, that's the male man's version of like a seed dropping to the ground from a sicka mortuary, and then falling deep enough into the earth on a sort of a, you know, a misty day that that moisture can activate the sprouting process. The pause. Yeah, this is the sickest of all. That's a sicka more. When the tree has a branch and it looks like a elevator. Yes. When the seed twels around as it it falls to the ground that's sicka moray. Is this the sketch? Yeah, absolutely allosteir.

That's the best one we've come up with so far. Better than justice owes prosecution of an asteroid belt for the reptiles. I don't think so. Yes, Yes. I love it. I love it. I wonder what roid rage could be asteroid based as well. It doesn't have to be steroids. It could be anything that ends in roid. Well, I mean, if you think about it, it could be...

I don't think you would have roared rage as it enters the atmosphere And it kind of heats up the atmosphere to the point where everybody on everything becomes a plasma and you don't get vaporized Yeah, but I think there would be roared disappointment Mm-hmm, you know, ah, nuts You would think as a viper Well, you know as that beginning part where you see it entering you go, oh my god, that's incredible. You go, oh no, this is bad. That is much too big. It's too close. It's too big. It's too big. But imagine, if you saw something, the size of like the moon entering the Earth's atmosphere, there would be a big party going,

the Earth's atmosphere. There would be a big party going, oh, fiddle sticks. This is gonna be really bad. And your mind would work fast enough that you could imagine. I don't know if it would. I don't know if it would. I think you could be like,

like you would kind of make sense of you be like, I know what I'm seeing. I can't believe that this is not special effects. But I wonder if you could stay alive for long enough to see it knock some of the earth up into the air and see that earth go so up that it is released from the gravity of the earth and you see it spin around the earth.

Orbiting. Orbiting. Do you think it could happen that fast or do you think you would already die by the see it spin around the earth. Albiting. Albiting. Do you think it could happen that fast? Or do you think you would already die by the time it's entering the atmosphere? I think I'd die, but I feel like you might be a bit more robust. Well, I could be inside my car. Yeah.

Okay. And I could just get that extra bit of shielding, whereas you would be outside weeding or something like that. Yeah. And that's you die instantly. It's a really accurate, you got me there, LSD. Oh, wasting your life and then wasting the last few moments, in particular. The you were enjoying in your car.

We're sitting, listening to music, avoiding going inside to engage with life. Correct. Oh. Correct. Okay. So take us through the... Nobody ever says incorrect a Mundo, do they? Incorrect a Mundo. Anyway.

They just started. I think these ideas kind of got a little bit more interesting as the episode went on, but let's go back to the beginning. I guess, look, the first sketch is sticky transport. It checks out. And we're including sticky seats that are just kind of a gummy sticky substance that kind of envelops you a little bit when you sit.

Yep. Sit down and they replace seat belts. Yeah. They replace the strapping on snowboards. Yep. Which I see as a form of transport. Oh, imagine that. If you could just get the stickyic substance instead of chair lifts,

like that instead of sort of a chair lift that comes underneath you, it's just a gooey substance that kind of envelops your back. Yeah, just sticks to your back and then kind of suctions your up and then sort of just picks you up like that and then just kind of carries you and you just dangle. Yeah, we get carried everywhere as if we're sort of the prey of a giant slug or something. I imagine that's what they do.

They sort of clope you. Eric and maybe slime mold, if we could use, if we could learn to control slime mold, like we've sort of dominated the horse world, and they could probably do that for us. I, you ever get like a, try and pick up a snail? Yeah. Sometimes they really do seem to stick to the ground quite well. Like if we could get those, so that like the bat, you know, if I imagine sitting into

a seat in a car and you're actually folding yourself into sort of the curved underbelly of a giant snail or slug, that would feel quite nice. Yeah. I think does that really grip? I guess it would be like, abalone creatures. If you, I've never actually done this, but people who go and pry them off rocks with like a screwdriver or whatever, deep in the sun, you've done it. Well, apparently if you try first and you don't get them on the first go, they really suck down there.

And then it's like almost impossible to find them off. So you have to kind of be really quick because of the, or else they, they find out that you're trying to get them. And then they're like, oh, fuck you. I'm going to be like, you know what? I'm not going to die. I'm going to be like the fridge door after you've just closed it. You know, some fridges do that thing where you just close the fridge

And you go, oh no actually I want to get back in but then it's doing some weird suction thing Like that you can't get it back up My fan muscle No, no, no, no Angle wait eagle Oh no ankle deep I I wrote, I wrote, angle deep, angle deep, ankle deep touched by an ankle. Anyway.

There's nothing. Uncle Grindel, is there anything? Yes. That's what they should call netball. Anyway, all right. Touched by an uncle? Is that anything? Oh. Oh.

All right. Ankle deep water international country. Mm. It's not really a country, but it's six people living. Nothing needs to be said about that. Nothing more needs to be said. No, six people live in there. They're trying to build up their tourism.

They invite people to come. All it is is just a sand bar somewhere in the middle of the ocean and They're trying to pitch it as a tourism destination thousand dollars a night Okay, but it's a unique experience because they are carrying you for that night Well, you're sleeping on their body. Yeah How would you do it would you just bend over anything bend over? I put like if it's only an ankle deep I'd lie down on my back and I'd let them lie on top of me and So if there's any wave and stuff water will just go in your mouth and I'll finally be free of this hell I've created

Justice O's prosecution of an asteroid belt for the reptiles I mean that one. I think I like justice Oh more than I like the rest of it. No, the whole thing is good. What, where the reptiles get all this money and then slowly but surely we start deciding that we'll just keep it for ourselves? That's a really good idea. Okay.

Underwater team that go and help people who will die soon to do things that would have killed them. Mm-hmm. You know, interesting things like tasting lad and having. Very, and today's a very regular episode about death jumping, jumping into a volcano. I mean, that would be interesting. Helping people to end at every episode. Yeah. I mean, it's not necessarily a group of bears that dress up as octopuses and go in transparent bubbles under the water. Why are they bears?

I thought it'd be interesting. Yeah, I think that was interesting. But they're people in bear suits, they're just people. Okay. Who are... Oh, that is interesting. Living under the sea to escape their troubles with the law. Because I guess you couldn't...

Well, I've been around a lot of death. Yeah, well, you couldn't assist that many suicides, I guess, with a arising some suspicion. Right. So it is, it is sort of like, it's an assisted suicide group. Yeah, but doing it in creative, in a way that could actually help you suffer quite a bit more. With a suicide. That's, that's really, that's really something. But one episode they just,

like, Paw Patrol, they always rescue someone from the fucking cliff edge or something. Well, here they're rescuing them from the nightmare that is life. Cliff edges aren't as big a problem in real life as movies make the scene. They're really not. They're always crumbling, aren't they? Yeah, they're, but they always sort of are just around and they're not sort of, they're not sign posted as well as they, they could be. As they perhaps could be and are in real life.

And we have the universe where people reproduce by telling a story of a person. Yeah, they could be as they perhaps could be and are in real life. And we have the universe where people reproduce by telling a story of a person, or a whole other universe or a universe to get sufficient detail. You tell it across aions and aions. And yes, the expansion is accelerating because they're getting close to the climax and they're excited. Imagine that, so but I wonder what happens to you in that universe. Let's say this is our universe and then your, there's been enough details put into you. And so suddenly you're about to be taken out of this world and into the real world. I wonder what that would look like.

I reckon I'd get all sweaty. There you go. The perfect solution. How might start the glow? Could I start the glow then? Yeah, well, I guess that's one. But I mean, and everything swirls around me. Yeah.

There you go, swirling. And then we got Postman Reproduce via letters. That checks out. It wouldn't be at all surprised.
