I think for whatever, if it was, if anything was happening slowly, it was all, it was all coming from your side. And it was a, that's still us both coming together. You know, if you, if you can just remain static for a second, I can try to correct this more, More accurately, what it would be is that I have a sort of a, I try to vey you with my time signature. Erratically, while you chase me forever trying to make the two synchronized.

You try to evade me while I stay still and you know, that at some point you run right into my time signature, direct phase with me. Well, if you wait long enough by the river, Alistair, the bodies of your enemies will eventually begin to form some kind of a rhythm as they pass. Sure. And then you can use that as a bean. You know? Oh, no, that's cool. See, if there's like an alternate universe where those timelines converge where we both do battles with people by rivers, we also have enemies who we would like to see die sort

of a time around that where that is kind of still acceptable, but also a time where you can have sort of a zoom recorder. You know, audio, like digital audio equipment that works via batteries, and you can take down by the river. And then like Billy Eilish and Bad Guy listening to the pedestrian crossing signals in Sydney, you can hear the sound of your enemy's bodies slowly bumping up against a pile on it, the base of a bridge or something like that. You know what? That slaps. You take that track back to your brother in wherever and you got yourself you got yourself a hit But I mean I think that's a good concept album. I know that I know we're not trying to come up with

We're not trying to come up with five concept albums. Yes, but yes, but but an album, you know, it could be a barbarian It could be various, various people. This is all, you know, it's like five heroes and they, they each have a track and it's, they're made up of the sounds of them conquering their enemies or their enemies being conquered by life and then rejoicing rejoicing. All the coward away in the corner. So the heroes or their event, you know, the warriors of some kind, but their musicians, but they're also cowards, but they win by living the longest. But they're also not, not hugely creative in themselves, in that they just wait for the sounds to come to them, right? But still the raw materials come, but someone has to compose them into an organised sound.

Yeah, absolutely. I guess they're more of an arranger. I mean, I could absolutely play the role, I think, of the person in a creative partnership who just listens to the things, listens to the sounds, catches the sounds, and goes, oh, that's good. And then I pass it on to the arranger.

I'm sort of more like a freelance ear, you know? Sure. Roaming around, picking up on little things like you know, scratching of the bugs in the bark of the cooler battery. What have you? Of course. Of course. And bringing no sense of organization or order to this entire.

But you could be the sound picker. Yeah, I'd be the sound picker. Telling someone to wear to point the microphone. Mm-hmm. Yeah, I'd be the sound picker. Telling someone to where to point the microphone. Yeah, I'd be a sort of a hunter gatherer. It is a hunter gatherer kind of approach to music, I think. Before you have the agriculture, that is the modern acoustic industrial complex, you have those who just go out and just listen to the sounds of nature and try and try and assemble whatever kind of music they can out of that. Sure.

All right, Alistair, sorry, I feel like you were saying you're on a better track with warriors. And I look at me, the musical hunter gatherer is this something Andy. You think it could be? I think look I think there's something there. You know somebody I mean how would a person in I guess in the world. I guess back in those days you didn't record let's say we're thinking sort of pre-agriculture right? I mean I guess the music the music hunter- music hunter gathering could have continued on after agriculture had come. Yes, it could still be going to this day in some culture. I mean, I guess in some form, yeah.

But I guess in those days, instead of getting an audio recorder or even a ceramic pot that you could scratch while the sound was happening, You know, you might, if you saw... That will no one trope. I think I referred to that in the podcast before, haven't we? It was also in an episode of the X-Files. Yeah, I think there's a few references to it in different... I think I saw an episode of NCIS or something like that, whether it's something like that as well. Somebody screams or was your somebody screams their

own name? Well, they were the murderers screams their own name while they kill somebody. Brian Johnson. He would have he would have been a great murderer. Well, he would have been absolutely up there with some of the best murderers if he didn't have the fatal floor of always screaming his name in the moment of of homicide. But the screaming of his name, the act, the victim, the date, the date, and then the words, remember those details. I'll repeat them. In case you didn't get that. I've prepared printouts. You know, every criminal makes a mistake. And this was his. It was only one mistake, but it was a big one.

And he did repeat it. I'm running it down. Yeah, OK. Right. I'm ready to tell. Yeah, okay. Well, this could be a new concept in crime TV. And it would be the, you know, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the every macabre crime, only the darkest of crimes, interest him. But then they all turn out to be sold very, very quickly and easily at the start of the episode.

And then we've got, I don't know, 45 minutes to fill or something, which is just so. Well, while we see what else this idiot gets up to as well you know there's you know there are some there are some crimes so difficult to solve there's only one person who can solve them but there are some crimes that's not this man no but but there are some crimes that's not this man. No, but there are some crimes that look like they're going to be so easy to solve. That there's only one detective that we can bother wasting on it. There's only one detective who could possibly drag that out to a TV out. That is reginald Gibby.

You see the chief of police? Well, that's a gimmick. Gimme! We got a case for you. He's got this, you know how all the other detectives have got their web on the wall of all the pieces of paper and clues all connected with red string. And this is only, he's got one piece of string and it goes horizontally

from a picture of the corpse to a picture of the murderer. And he still stares at it for hours. And then he takes the string off, he puts it off just in the empty space of the wall and he puts it back. Yeah, he loses it off just in the empty space of the wall. He puts it back. Yeah. Oh he loses it for a while. You can't find the string. Yeah. He's been sped. He's been sped 45 minutes of the episode looking for his ball of string.

Which is this place. I like it, Alan Stair. The the the gimme, the gimme slayings, no. What did you call them? The gimme were... Gimme homicides? The gimme homicides. And then you, you know, if you released a DVD box set, you could, you could call it the absolute gimme. Or, you know, I like to name the box sets. Oh my. Well I think that's often the starting point with a lot of career especially now that there's no box sets.

Well it feels like a real gimme approach. Yeah. Okay now we're cooking. Now we're cooking. So I said this. Now we're cooking with Dix. This episode of two, three, five, I decided that we're going to try and do many more suggestions from listeners. And so I thought a good place to start would you know what? It's amazing to me that hunter-gatherers didn't get more done, didn't achieve more, you know, great intellectual feats, because I listened to the sounds of a forest to help me concentrate and study and that sort of thing. So you would have thought they would get a lot more writing done.

Yeah, well, there wasn't writing, I guess. There was not writing but then that's the thing is that when you live in an oral tradition in the time of the oral tradition when you're passing stories down there's just only so many stories you can carry around in your head. Yeah. And you may have figured out some great thing about, like maybe you figured out atomic theory really early on, right, something that's pretty useful. Something's pretty useful, it helps you to like, understand maybe how heat works and understand static, if ever you came across that instead of nature.

Really useful. Well, I mean, once these are the building blocks, you know, to get to advancing. Anyway, I'm just saying, but because it's not immediately useful, it's just a stepping stone, you don't bother putting a story around it. Things and things are really small. Why don't you come around to my house like that? You know, it was going, rhymes I imagine really helped. Like that example. Like that very example. Yeah, you're right. I mean, Newton, Newton's principia, right, a great achievement, sure, but he didn't have

to make it rhyme, so people would remember. Didn't have to make it rhyme. And also, you know, eventually if you're a slave to the rhyme, like I am, then eventually you'll start manipulating the physical laws to make the rhyme work. That's right. So that's sort of the original digitization signal loss. You lose a certain amount of accuracy as people in the rhyme scheme. I mean, I think this is a fun sketch where it's new.

And he's in a meeting with his publisher. And it's the only publisher in town and the thing is that they do they do they do rhyming books. Yeah. And so they're working through with they're working it, working through Prince, Prince, the whatever, through with him. Yeah. And they're like, we got to know, this doesn't work, you know, falling down. That doesn't work. That, you know, could you say, you know, falling down? Could you say the thing the line above, could it be instead of acceleration due to gravity? When it's falling down, could it be acceleration due to brown when it's falling down? It's like, oh, but it's it's actually not due to brown.

They're like, well, how bad do you want this to be published? We want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to, we want to be useful to anybody, it's just going to, you know, float off into obscurity. Mm-hmm. Yeah, it's great. Yeah, right and down now. All right. Oh, should that be right at brown? Right at brown. All right. So you might not have got that impression from the episode thus far, but this

episode is an episode where we exclusively use the three word suggestions. Yeah, three from Patreon subscribers. Yeah, right. And so as you can tell, this is what we've been doing so far, so that's what we're going to continue to do. And so, the next listeners who have sent in suggestions is Fraser Wright and Karina. Thank you, Fraser Wright and Karina.

A team, it's one of the, it's one of the few teams that we've had sending in things. We've had some teams. God, you know, I'm not gonna try to go through team a ratio here and try to pretend we're like, we haven't some teams. God, you know, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna try to go through team erasure here and try to pretend We're like we haven't had teams. We've had a whole, we've had a whole podcast networks sending in suggestions That's true, Elastay, and in time network

Yeah, so that's a team Anyway, Fraser Wright and Karina have sent in the three words, reverse biology career. Oh, reverse biology career. This feels very rich, very rich with possibility, doesn't it? It makes me think immediately of Darwin, Charles Darwin, a friend of the show, who supposedly on his deathbed had a last minute conversion to Catholicism or something. Like there's a, you know, to Christianity.

There's like rumors put around that he disavowed all his works and promised his soul to Jesus or something like that. I would like to start setting around some of the reverse of that, which is that a lot of Christians on their deathbed actually see the logic of an entirely sort of just rules-based physical laws, based understanding of physics and nature. If you're going to do one, it's definitely like right at the end, just go. Anyway, sorry, and I love you, God. That's what you can do with your outfit, just in case.

But the idea that someone has like been the Pope their whole life. Yeah, their whole life. Their whole life. Baby Pope. I'm talking fetal Pope, baby Pope, they even have the hat just resting on the on the Mama's belly. Well, I think young Pope really missed an opportunity to make him, him not an infinite, to make him an infant. Yeah, absolutely. And so then you got baby Pope, then you got, I'm starting to have a weird flashback that there's maybe a, maybe a adult swim TV show that's that.

Oh, cool. I'm not sure. Has Eddie Murphy ever made a movie where he's the Pope? Not yet. There's gotta where he's the pope? Oh, yeah. There's gotta he's gotta do that. There's that. You know, I don't know how we set this up, but like if we can have a real cool black pope, I think let's get in touch with the. I think let's get in touch with the... Yeah, there's that, I think maybe Kenyan Archbishop who always looks like he's close to being Pope, you know?

Desmond Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Is it Desmond? Yeah, it'd be. Now there's another one, I think. Another one who was like recently, no, not Desmond Tutu. There's another one who recently wrote a that that the second Pope put his name to that was like a more conservative thing that caused a bit of a two- Pope problem and then the and then the Palpatine Pope kind of took his name off of it because he realized

it's causing a problem. But anyway, so how do we make this so so Pope all his life and then right on this dead bed he goes I just so far away everything. This is not a hundred percent. Yeah, it doesn't it doesn't seem it doesn't seem interesting at all. I mean, what could convince him? Maybe he looks across and he has, like, one of those Newton's cradle things on his desk, he's going, like that, right?

And he looks at it and he's like, I've just realized this can all be explained by three fundamental laws of motion. And then he gets on a roll, right? And he looks out the window and he sees a bunch of motion. And then, and then he gets on a roll, right? And he looks out the window, and he sees a bunch of monkeys. Yeah. And some beaks birds fly by with different legs beaks. And he sees them dipping into, you know, like a, I don't know, like a huge fly. He sees an orchid with the longest tube of a flower too. Do you think that's why there are no trees in the Vatican? Like it seems like it's a very urbanized environment.

How can they keep the Pope a long way away from rainforests? Like you never see the Pope in a sort of a very biodiverse area. You never see the Pope deep in nature, you know, like real deep. I'd like a scene episode of Bear Girls with the Pope. Yeah. Why has he resisted? I mean, yeah, that's true. They keep nature away from him. So he doesn't accidentally make any observations, you know? Mm-hmm.

He's cloisted. All right. Look, do you think we should do this? He's cloisted? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cloisted. Oh, scientific. Yeah, you know, keeping the truth of the parts. Yeah, and you know, because, you know, they're perceptive guys.

I'm sure they're very smart. If they had any evidence at all in front of them, I'm sure they'd join the dots. Yeah. But you gotta keep them separated, you know? Yeah. That's about the Pope and nature. God bless you. Yeah. That's a biology. That's a reverse biology career. Yeah, oh, absolutely. And I also think though, I don't

know if you want to write it down, but Eddie Murphy is the Pope. Yeah. That's it. I mean, it's more of a casting suggestion than it is a whole sketch. Yeah, you're right. You're right. All right, I'll keep thinking about it. I mean, it's not the idea that he observed something, he's in his hospice, right? And he's done.

He starts making his observations. He starts making his observations. He's doing sort of a trading places type thing But but the Danakroid and or you know whatever the characters are who decide they they're cardinals and they decide that they'll make Eddie Murphy the Pope for some reason anyway you were talking about something else. Wait, no, it's gone. Deathbed conversions. That's right, and a part of the deathbed conversion is that he starts, you know, it starts with just maybe seeing

that what was that Newton's thing, Newton's cradle? You know, yeah, and then he, yeah, and then he, you know, he makes those biological evolutionary kind of observations, and then maybe he catches a pigeon and dissect it. You know, on his bed, he's well nobody's there. Maybe he uses like a bit of metal from his scepter. Yeah. Get a scepter next to his bed. He's probably starting to shine the dots.

And he realizes it's actually not that this, what's inside this pigeon, isn't that dissimilar Yeah, get a scepter next to his bed. He's probably starting to figure out when he's not. And he realizes it's actually not that, what's inside this picture isn't that dissimilar from what's wrong with him, like he kind of sees, you know, and then he figures out a way to cure himself. Maybe he operates on himself. Yeah, wow, but he's got that far now,

down the track of. Yeah, so he has a deathbed conversion that it turns in to well his life bed He lives it that's the real conversion Still still as he's renouncing Christianity. He's still converting things He converts his death into a life. Or his bed. Not his bed. Or his bed. That, you know, the hospice people try to get him to move out, but he refuses. And then he takes up that bed. So they have to kill him with a hammer.

That's nice. That's actually what my, it's, that's the kind of story that I'm working on for a sci-fi try guys. Oh really? See is the God hammer story. Oh the God hammer story. Damn, I'm excited for that, Al. Real excitement. Oh, we'll see.

We'll see. Yeah, right. Look, that's there. Thank you very much to the rights. I feel for some reason like we came up with a different sketch about people having to kill the Pope a long time ago. I mean, it's almost the main thing that we do is come up with sketches, people kill in the Pope.

We have a sketch idea here, Andy, from Patreon Supporter Lee Warren. Lee, thanks Lee. Lee. I was thinking about the name. Lee Warren the other day. Yeah. Yeah. I can't remember what I was thinking about it, but I see he's a good name. You know, you know, I think really improves the name Warren is Warren Beaty. Hmm. I mean, I don't know anything about Warren Beatty. I like looking at him now. Oh, I've got to look him up. Is he still around?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think, I think, who's that, just trying, who's that, just trying to actor who had a tonight show in the States? Australian actor who had a tonight show. No, no, I'm trying to stand up. Oh, Jimmy, I strongly stand up. Oh Jimmy something no

No, they're all good Jimmy. Not they but I think it Jim Jeffery's oh Jim Jeffery's that's right. Oh, you're right It was Jimmy. That is a Jimmy. There's a Jimmy Fallon. Yeah, Jimmy Kimmel. Yeah, Jimmy Jeffery's yeah It's just a very successful name, but he had a story when he about doing a set at that billionaire's house, that destroyed a billionaire packer. And so many Australians in this show. And he was talking about how this is when, anyway, he got invited there by Packer's wife and Packer wasn't interested in it and having this comedy show and he doesn't know why he was invited until like, he was only supposed to be 15 minutes at, anyway, 10 minutes into the set, the

guy recognized the comedian and he goes, oh, it's this bit that I wanted it that I like you for, you did that gun rights bit. anyway, so then you have to do another like 15 minutes to just to do that bit anyway. Yeah, at some point he has this later on It's just mingling with people and he talks about talking with Warren Beatty and just randomly and Warren Beatty's like Oh, you got me film ideas and he goes yeah, and he makes some bullshit up and he's like yeah, you should You should contact me about that and he goes all that was. And he's like, Warren Beatty was really disappointed. Anyway. And for some reason that made me really like Warren Beatty,

that he's just so open to like collaborating. People that he's just meant based off of a pitch that the guy just made up on the spot. What? And like his lack of discernment, he seems like almost no judgment whatsoever. He's a guy who spend his whole life like in a career in Hollywood.

And you can make up something on the spot. And you'll be like, yeah, let's talk more about this. He can't tell what's a film. Look up old Warren Beaty. He looks a lot like a rugby player from Queensland, I reckon. He's got that kind of vibe to it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I can't believe he's still alive. Yeah. Anyway, a single film that is in. Anyway, that's Warren Beatty. That's the Warren Beatty section of the show. I like to think that you have seen a film that he's been in. Oh, here we go, Elle. You just... Did you ever see Dick Tracy? No. You never saw Dick Tracy? No, I never saw Dick Tracy. Oh, let's see. What about the Dick Tracy TV movie special?

Have you watched all of Larry Sanders' show? No. No? Have you seen some of Larry Sanders show? No. No, have you seen some of Larry Sanders show? Yeah, I've seen like two episodes. I think he was in one of those. Oh, okay, one of the two. Okay, one of the two. I'm going to pitch some ideas to Warren.

I'm going to send him a couple of emails. Yeah, great All right, what were you talking about? We're trying to get a story from Lee Warren another another if we wanted another story Based off of this guy's name Lee remember Jack Black spanned had that song because Mother fucking Lee And that song. All right, Lee Warren has three words that he suggested for a sketch and it's called, and here they are. Do you want to try and guess what one of them is?

Yeah, yeah. Cromulent. I think that you've guessed that before. Oh, but that's okay. Sorry. It's okay. Well, it's fine. I mean, there's not to guess it again. They haven't changed that being the word. I know. I know. And that's a good

and the thing is that the more you say it, the more likely people are to suggest that I think so. And especially given that they're probably trying to mess with me and they don't want me to guess it right. They're going to wait for the one day that you use a word that I've already guessed thinking I won't guess that again. That's right. I'm going to guess, you know, it's like playing the lottery. You play the same numbers every single week. I'm going to keep guessing the same words over and over and over again until eventually I'm right. I like how much how much of a tag, a tag-tition guesser you are. that a tactician-guessor you are. I mean, I gotta say, there's something about somebody who's a strategic-guessor.

You know that you get in for your company? And it's like, look, we've discovered that corporate spying is actually quite illegal, right? But we have got this strategic gasser who can come in and tell us what he thinks the opposition might be doing. I mean, I reckon that's probably 90% of all consultancy, but also. Yeah, I think that's great. There's a few ways that could play out. Instead of doing modeling, it's really expensive to do modeling to try and predict what's going to happen, but we could get the world's best guesser.

He's got a good strength right give me a charm jelly beans And oh and then they get him in and they and they he you know like he's in the board room and they get him in He they just go look at this and they get a jar of jelly beans out and he goes 105 they go 107 pretty close and five they go 107 pretty close. They go in and there, but in the boardroom claps. Yeah, is he, is he, um, is he estimating though? Or is he just guessing?

He's guessing. That was just a guess. I mean, I'll be interesting to, to sort of play him off against an estimator. Sure. Yeah, I mean, that could be his rival. Yeah. And then they have a baby together. Yeah, because obviously it becomes a guesstimator.

Yeah. And that parts played by Arnold Schwarzenegger. Yes. And Danny DeVito, both in a coat. I mean, they've played something, you know, they've played brothers, but have they ever played one man? Yeah, that's good. Not yet. And you know, they're soon, they're starting to get too old to do this. Sorry, you got to do it soon. We got it. We got to get him to get him to sign this sign on the sign. You fucking it up. Somebody contact Warren Beatty.

I got an idea for you. I'm sure it's an Edgar and Danny to be the, yeah, they played alongside each other, but if they played on top of each other. And Warren, I know there's not a part for you in this movie, but I need your enthusiasm. Can I have your email? And I know what you're thinking, but no, it's going to be Schwarzenegger on top of DeVita. 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, my haven't seen the movie Twins. And I know you think I have, Alistair, but I haven't.

But if they didn't put in a scene in which they've got to hide on each other's shoulders at a long coat, added which, but that's just the scene for Austin Powers, isn't it? Where Austin goes on, pretty big shoulders, damn it. Wait, what does he do in that? He goes on Mimi's shoulders, they dress up in a big, as a nurse or something. Oh yeah, well, I see that's funny.

That's funny. See, but that you see, any of you know is the, any of you know is the real life mini me. All right, Lee Warren's words. And in a way, his words are not that far from a strategic guesser. These are his words, inspiring mathematician clown. Inspiring mathematician clown. I mean, if you just take those words face value and it's a guy who goes to school dressed as a clown and does maths

but but in a sort of life-affirming way That's already it's already something interesting, but I don't think that's what we do here Yeah, okay good What do we do? I think we well, I mean you I guess suppose you could make numbers out of out of balloons Instead of animals I mean, you know and I guess it would be good if you could if you could do it in such a way that you know

You make a one and you make it it would be good if you could do it in such a way that you make a one and you make a three and you make a seven. And then you cram them all together and scramble them around. And then out of that, you get a 10. That would be a good use of your skills. You can also have a guy who goes to kids parties, but he's to making the balloons into numbers for the parents, right? Yes. And he uses those numbers to do some mathematical modeling to how they could maybe rearrange their finances and afford to buy a house or maybe how they

could turn their life around. Well, it's interesting that the balloon, I never thought about it before, but the balloon animal is just a form of modeling, isn't it? It's just a type of sculpture, you know it? It's just a type of sculpture that you're doing in approximation of things. It's equivalent to using a pencil to make markings on a piece of paper, like there's no reason you couldn't. And I realize we've already gone,

talked at the start about the music and the hunter gatherer that kind of thing, but there's no reason that society could have gone down a different path in which balloon animals were the only form of writing and, and indeed of making any kind of indelible mark on anything at all. So, you know, stone tablets or whatever, you know, doing architectural drawings or what have you. This would all be done by professional clowns. And for some reason, you know, people who have these jobs, they still put on the clown makeup and that's what I think. But it's in a much more kind of a muted sense, as you would expect from somebody

working in a professional field like architecture. But they still do have a little, a little sort of red nose and they still put on sort of that slap, you know, paste makeup and they have a little orange wig, but you know, like a business version of that. Yeah.

The business clown. But kind of more prehistoric. Like I'm picturing sort of an archaeologist digging up a series of balloons, sort of somewhere at an archaeological site, and they're just trivalled up little balloons, but they kind of reconstruct them. They see where the knots are. And they figure out that this is actually telling a story or telling, you know, it's these are the plans for a great citadel. Yeah, the hyroglyphics or what have you? And then they, you know, and obviously then they, as they tell the story that they're discovering from these sort of discarded balloons with the little little plastic, you know,

story that they're discovering from these sort of discarded balloons with the little little plastic, you know, ribbon that's attached to them that would have gone around the wrist maybe of the balloon or some slave children that would stand there. I mean, as far as slave children go, having a job where you stand there and just hold up a helium balloon, it's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's one of the better gigs. It's one of the better gigs of the ancient Egyptian clown Pharaoh building site. Down at an English Pharaoh one evening I was there. I was eating. It was really good. Yeah, and so on.

So, you know, I think some sort of, but I mean, does this continue to the current day? Are we still using that in the current day? Of course, yeah. Of course, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Of course, yeah. Yeah, of course. Yeah, of course. Yeah, of course. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And like, so you're picturing like a, after the architect has used his sort of, his drafting clown to draft up the plans of, you know, the latest sky, sky high sort of,

you know, skyscraper. Um, then he sends the cloud to the building side. And the building side is there and the builders are looking at them and organising workers based off of that. I guess there would be a clounds in different corners and they have them there for the big concrete poor Yeah, just double checking everything occasionally occasionally stepping on the clown's foot and going

You know what I'm trying to get it You get it completely yeah Um well, can I say Thank you so much to Mr Lee Warren. Thank you Lee. For getting us there. While we're here, Andy, while I'm looking at suggestions from a listener, I was thinking that maybe I might get another one from a listener.

Yeah, great. I think that's a great idea. Yeah. You know, I have something to say. Or do have something to say because I also have something to say? Well, you know, I've left to hear it. All I wanted to say was that I think Desmond Tutu has the highest ratio of boredom to fun from his first to last names. Yeah, absolutely Desmond. It's a very fun game. Desmond. Thank you, that's all I wanted to say. Desmond Llewellyn played of course.

I think he was the he was cute in the original Bond films. There you go. Kid, wasn't he the one who went for quite a long time as Q? Went for a real long time. He was through to PS at least. I reckon he might have even done some of this other guy. Maybe not. Craig? Yeah, it may have done some Craig.

No, I don't think so. Okay. No, I think there was some interim, interim John, John, John police. You're the guy who's seen the tale. A lot of films. No, Alistair, I haven't. Well, that takes us to our, our next, our next listener, Andy, Sebastian. Thank God. Why Bach? Hmm. Hello, Sebastian.

Thank you for having us on your podcast, Sebastian. Thank you, Sebastian. How do I rob this? Yes. That was a little fun time. Yeah, we mentioned ages ago that we were on there, but feel free to go back and check that out once again. Anyway, it was a very fun time.

We may have stolen something from these shoye empowerment. So Andy, do you want to guess what the words, one of the words in this is? Yeah, cr'm, um, Cromulent. I'm sorry, no. Um, it's a neoliberal glory and whole. Neoliberal glory whole. Yeah. See, this is the problem with the glory whole system, right? Right?

Is that it relies on the person on the other side of the glory hole, doing all the work for potentially, you know, minimal reward. Right. I think it's, I mean, as in because there could be nothing on the other side of the wall or. I'm not sure, but I'm assuming that in the glory whole system, one person is having a better time than the other person. Do you think, or maybe not, maybe to work, both people on either side have to get as much out of, you know, have to be getting equal amounts out. Is that what you're saying? I mean, I think we could, I could go into the top and bottom system for you and explain how there's something in it for everybody, but yeah. Yeah, okay.

Okay. I mean, look, I think Andy, I think both people are definitely feeling something. Oh, no, that's, that's, that's certainly true. And I think that one person is probably gonna enjoy themselves more than the other person. But we don't I can't even tell you for sure who that's going to be. Have we talked about then? I mean who knows that about how the real like the real glory, have we talked about glory holes before on the show? We said that the real glory is the glory of sharing,

and selflessness. And the fact that you're willing to do something for your fellow human being. Exactly. And that they're willing to do something for you. Two people, and it's in these times especially in troubled times such as these might be right yes that people Just helping strangers You know

When they needed and it's exactly that But the only it's the only reason that I leave the house. But I think the neo liberals wouldn't have any time for that. Under neo liberalism, I think glory holds would have to be, well, they probably be privatized. Sure. And they wouldn't be allowed in public bathrooms. No, exactly. Or if they were, the maintenance and the servicing on the glory hole would be sold to a third party, probably one of their coalition mates in some tidy little deal.

And they would then, and all glory holes would be on a sort of a, would have a little thing put in there where you've got to pay to use it or something like that. And one of the last great, truly public institutions would be eroded. It will be the worst part of senseless consumerism. And what does the consumer actually get out of it? What's the benefit?

It used to be that this was just a public service that we could all enjoy. That's right. And that we would carve them out of the materials and make the whole, but now the whole has a window that closes or a little door that closes automatically. And opens, you've got to put in coins or whatever like that. And it's like those automatic bathrooms

that if you're not done in 10 minutes, then the door just opens or closes in this case. In this case, it just closes. And then it hoses itself down. And then, of course, it sort of sanitizes itself. I guess just like a hand sanitizer within the wall just kind of oozes over it on either side. And then once it evaporates

then it unlocks the cubicles again. So suppose this is sort of like the Uber of glory homes or something like that then you know it's like it's like there's e-bikes or whatever that's in the town. Well I mean I mean that's you know that's something else because then it feels like that's just because if it's I mean the e-bikes is different to the uber because I guess the uber's scenario is like anybody who has a wall With a hole in it then they can say we'll come to my house and You can use that hole which I guess we can already do Hmm. Yes, but sorry. Hmm. I mean, I actually know somebody who was kind of doing it Really?

Yeah. Yeah. But I'm not in our circle, you know? You know how I have other circles occasionally. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You've got many, many circled men. Got the bloody Olympic rings over there, mate. Yeah, but they're all glory hals.

Well, I think we've got something with that. I mean, I think I think we basically, I mean, you know how I said, what we don't do is just read the words and then come up with a sketch based on the literal translation translation of the world, the words. Well, that's what we just did. So Sebastian is actually changing how we do things. I mean, sometimes we do that occasionally, but yeah, you're right. You're right. Well, it was a very strong suggestion. You know, I think I feel like he came to it already with a problem with a bit of an idea of what that might be. And I hope we gave him what he wanted. Because that's what this is all about. Delivering on expectations.

That's right. What do you say we just do one more? this is all about delivering on expectations. That's right. What do you say we just do one more? I mean, look, we actually have five one five sketches now. So I think now it's time to do a suggestion from a listener. Oh, that would be great. That's what we normally do at this time of the show. So yeah, I'd love to hear. Now, for those who don't know, know, we have a Patreon to entangue Patreon and people who

donate $3 can suggest three words for a sketch. So today's listener is, I believe it might be Pupu Bum-Bum-Bum Man. Oh, Pupu Bum-Bupu bumman. Oh, Pupu bumman. Wow. I believe this might be Pupu bumman man. Second set of words. Is it you sure that's not pronounced Pupu bumman? Well, it would be, I think it might be Pupu bumman. Oh, I don't know bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum teleport on the on the sci-fi on the Patreon bonus episodes, Alistair, which I listened to recently because it was recommended to me by one of our listeners, Brian. I really listened to it. And there's a bit in it in which you start referring to Spider-Man as Spider-Man. And it went on for quite a while, and it really got me.

I... Spider-Man. Spider-Man. for quite a while, and it really got me. I... Spiderman. Spiderman. Spiderman. Well, I'm glad something works. Yeah. Great. Well, Pukobumbumman has sent in the words, do you want to guess what one of the words but is?

Yeah, Chromulent. What was that? Chromulent. Chromulent? No, that's not one of the words. One is, they're actually, once IGDAF. IDG AF. IGD AF. IG or ID. No IGD AF. Right because the internet slang is I don't give a fuck in death. Right. But this is I give don't a fuck. Well, look, I could have written it down wrong. No, no. I give, don't a fuck. So that's that. Then there's CSIRO. You know what?

Bum bum bum. Might not be wanting to give away that much about their identity with that name. Or that is exactly their name and they're giving away everything about their identity. Sure. But when by saying CSIRO, I feel like they're giving away their location, their location. Yeah. This is a Commonwealth Science and Industrial Research Organization. Australia's lead governmental scientific body where my grandfather worked for 40 years

in Tasmania. Would you say he was a... Is a kidna slaughter? No. Absolutely not. In fact, even catching a kidnus wasn't even his main game, Alistair. He was out there looking at soils, mapping the soil of the great state of Tasmania. And it was his colleague who worked in I assume wholesale, a kidnast

Lord who told him, if you ever see in a kidnac and you grab it for me and gave him the secret though this one simple hack, one weird trick of catching a kidnast, which is that you tap them on one side with your foot and they poke their feet out the other side to balance themselves and then you grab their feet. I think it's a good trick. It's a great trick that now people who listen to this podcast can go out and slaughter their own kidnus. That's true. I like that Andy. Thank you so much for sharing. I appreciate it. Pupip Abumman is really getting their money's worth out of this, but the use of the acronym, something of an acronym for maniac themselves, I'd say. Yeah, I would say that.

Those are the words I would use. It's actually one word. They're getting a lot out of it. And then the last word is BYOB. So I'm gonna go, I don't give a fuck CSIRO, B-Y-O-B. I give it down a fuck. Bring your own B. Bring your own beer.

And, I mean, what, I think a CSIRO, it seems, okay, this is what it seems like to me, Alistair. Tell me if this rings true to you. But it seems like there's a government research organisation, sort of like the CSIRO, whose main remit is instead of, because the CSIRO, it seems very pushy, isn't it? Science, it's industry, it's research, it's organization. Right? But where are the groundbreaking discoveries coming in the field of just chilling out, man? It's true.

And just taking a load off and having bevies with the boys. That's right. Who's making the breakthroughs in that field of endeavor? And because it almost can't be an academic, because academia is such a high pressure scenario now that you actually, you aren't in a mental space to be able to really research chillin' out. You know, I believe it was the Fresh the fresh principal air who said that he was chilling

out max. But are we sure he was chilling out max? When he was chilling out max? Am I wrong? Was he not chilling out max? I thought he was chilling out maxing relaxing. Oh, I always thought it was chilling out max and relaxing real cool But but what then what's maxing?

What's maxing out maxing You know it will you're lucky that I'm pretty close to the genius Lerick thing that I think I might be able to Get this is lyric thing that I think I might be able to get right here. So, well, okay, so according to genius, it's a heavy-debated line. It was long thought to be Max and not Max and but public opinion is shifting. The argument for Max and is, Maxine and Relax. It realized that I had hit on such a, you know, a zeitgeist evening where there's a lot of critical thought

is shifting in this area. Yeah, Maxine and Relaxine was a common expression in the 80s. The argument for Maxine and is to the Max was also a common expression in the 80s. Will purportedly says max and relax in episodes of the show. So the DVD subtitles purportedly spell it in this way. This annotation is currently a work in progress and could use evidence

such video clips, screen caps for the last two bullets. So if they currently have it as chill out or chillin out maxing, relaxing all cool, but there's this chance that it's chillin out max and relaxing all cool. It just doesn't have, but the problem with the second one, max, it doesn't have that great rhythm, that sort of internal rhyme. Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool and else, shooting some blue ball outside the school. Yeah. Way in a couple of guys, they were up to no good. Hey. Hey, started. Okay, what's the words we're trying to work on here? Yeah. Yeah. Well, but I do think an organization dedicated to discovering absolute cool, you know, and absolute relaxation.

Relaxation. I mean, yeah, it's the absolute zero, you know, of chilling it, of when you feed up. And- If there was an experiment, like if you could be like 20 people in a house, and then you're put through different experimental scenarios to see how you could relax the most. Everybody's wide.

Yeah. I feel like whenever they're doing this kind of thing, they're doing a sleep study or something like that, or they're doing a medical research on some sort of drug, but I'm not talking about drugs, man. I'm just talking about getting the vibes just right, you know, with the right tunes and the right bunch of dudes to just let it all hang out. And we competitive relaxing as well.

That feels like we've talked about other show before as well. Yeah, I'm a little bit like the idea that somebody like his relaxing, you know, his fluctuations and his brain relaxing and we're off the scale, but then it turns out he used an illegal hammock. Performance enhancing hammock. Yep. That's good. That's good. He wasn't taking a load off. The hammock was actually taking most of the load. Yeah, that doesn't quite work.

I'm ready for research. He was actually taking performance reducing drugs on the stair. That's the real. That is it. My gosh, thank you so much Pupu Bumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumb, thank you so much, Pupu Bumbumbun. We appreciate it in a deep way. Yeah, it's a machine by us. You enrich our show with just your appearance. I mean, as all our listeners do, I wish we could do a 200th episode or a 300th episode where it's all just listener suggestions, but we wouldn't have the time when we're rushing through to both do that and finish

our life, keep going with our lives. Have any of that? Alistair, you hit me with the list of sketches that we've come up with today. I'd like you to rip through them making that. No problem. It was your phone running out of battery. The concept album of Cowards hiding and seeing their enemies beaten by life. These are songs of triumph. That's a stage from Cowards. That is a sketch from Cal. That is a sketch. Right. Yeah, but I mean, I think there's a way that we could work in that guy that we had in that sketch who, who, who, who hid in a hole. And while there was a robot revolution, he was just eating rats.

If there was somebody in there, if you could add it, an element of triumph that, you know, that he beat somebody because he's the one who's still alive. Maybe the robot. Could they? Would it be performed in whisper rap, Alistair? We could try it. I mean, I think if I could just get one take done clean, it would be possible. All right. We then we've got murder who makes a wait murder who makes the one the one mist. Homicides, where original Gimmi, who is, we're not going to say any completed yet, I mean, he's still a functioning detective. Yeah. But not one that you can put on any tough cases.

They don't have their speciality. The kill shouter, the case of the kill shouter. That was that one. The case of the kill. That was a 30 second episode. Well, no, no, Andy, every episode is 45. You're right. It's like a TV hour.

You're right. Yeah. Then we've got Newton's Rhyming Publisher Compromises. Mm. Right. rhyming publisher compromises. Right, and we've got Pope scientific deathbed observations, and that possibly lead to him cheering his himself on the deathbed, but he has a full scientific conversion on his deathbed, which then turns into his lifebed. That there was that bed, they were talking about that bed in like Costa Rica or something that this firm had made, there was a hospital bed and then it turns into so many people

dying because the COVID that it turns into a coffin. Turns into a coffin, yeah, it's a great Columbia invention. That is the deathbed conversion, right there, isn't it? Absolutely. And it's such sleek design, just elegant. Oh my God, just the fear you would get just being laid down on one of those beds. This isn't one of those beds that turns into a coffin. This isn't one of those beds that turns into a coffin. Oh, fuck it. No.

I mean, just not okay. Anyway, then we've got strategic gasser for companies. You know, it seems like a pretty macabre thing, but I think that technology could be used very well in a field like Cakes. You know, you decorate the cake, you operate on the cake, when it's in normal, like sort of bed mode. And then you pop it into the little cake coffin, the nice little box, drops down nicely for delivery. Well, this is exactly the kind of things that crises like this, why they lead to such innovation.

things that crises like this, why they lead to such innovation. Because sure, it seems like a become kind of awful thing when it's a person being lowered into their death box. Cardboard box. Six months down the track. Once we've got baked goods that we're not getting fingerprints on, because we're not having to manhandle them or woman handle. As we pop them into a box, I mean, this is brilliant. Thank you Andy for making this possible. I mean, it makes me want to get into cake boxing with you. A boxing bit of business. Oh no, not cake boss. No, that's a different show.

This is cake box. We just take the cakes from cake boss and put them into a box. And this week's cake box is an absolute doozy. It's the same one we were using last week because we've only come up with one design. But the kind of cake that we're not lowering this time is terrible. Look, I think we did do the show Cake Box. I think it would be interesting because we would face the challenge of putting... He's making these complicated cakes. He's making a cake that looks like a T-Rex. Right?

But what they never show you on the show is somebody's got to make a box for that. And that's the real skill. Absolutely. Okay, that's cake box. And what that T-Rex doesn't realize is that that box is also it's coffin. Yes. Cause I mean, the box that the cake comes in,

you know, is it's coffin? I mean, and where humans are the worms coming to eat its corpse? Crawling into the box. Riding through the cake. Ah, I mean, you don't, you don't, you can't tell me that this wouldn't be a challenge for cake boss, right?

Make a corpse cake that is proportionally as much bigger than a man as a man is bigger than a worm. And I want to be able to ride through it eating as I go, eat my way through it in it. And that's sort of thing. Yeah. I want me and roughly, I don't know, 600,000 other people. I want us to be able to just charge at it. Slowly work our way to the top.

And then get into that cake and then eat it until it is gone. That's great. Then there's only there's more sketch ideas, Andy. Then we got the strategic guessers for companies. Obviously, the strategic guesser, we got Schwarzenegger and Davido play one man that's not really sketched, but the idea, you know, it's no longer playing alongside each other, playing one top. Maybe this is a super glue accident. And while, you know, David

was on his pants or whatever, and then Rani has to lift him up to change a light ball or something. And they're both nude, so that's why their skin is fused together. And they... Yeah, that works, that works amazingly well. Yeah. I can't believe it. like Warren Beatty would be 100% on board. Yeah, that's point. That is about a detail. They're in they're working the lab. That's what they did. They did junior together. Could be the sequel. Archaeologists discover prehistoric balloon animals. These are also in which balloon animals are the only form of writing. You know, balloons. And we have neoliberal glory hole. I just

wrote down Sebastian's words, but you get it. And then we've got research and chilling, And then we've got research and chilling, slash competitive relaxing, including performance enhancing hammocks. Sounds like we did it, Al. I think we did it, Andy. I think there's, you know, look, I don't always say this almost very rarely, but I think there's some iconic sketches in there. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, it can't possibly be. We started out so bad. No, no, no, no, no, no, it can't possibly be. We started out so bad. No, no, no,

that concept album. That's great. Yeah. I think which I think what you mean by bad sketch ideas, I think you mean those are the ones that are hell driven. No, no, I felt like I was really close to say, let's start again in the middle of, you know, about 10 minutes in. But, it's one of the funnest episodes I've had in ages. That's fantastic, I'm so glad. Yeah. Great, great, you're great. You're great inside your grain. Don't let grain run your grain, run your grain,

you've got grain in your veins. Thank you so much for listening to this thing, thank you for saying that. We absolutely appreciate it to the max. We can't understand, yeah, we can't understand why Why you're all here and but we love it Yeah, thank you very much There's a slight delay on magma so apologies for that it'll probably still be another maybe another month

Yeah, it's my fault. You'll be the first to know you'll be the first Absolutely except for our even we won't even tell our our wives Yeah, my fault. You'll be the first to know. You'll be the first.
