Beef. Beef. Beef. Beef. You know it's gonna be beef. Andy changed the rhythm. Did I? Did I?

Did I really? I thought you did at some point there. I was trying so hard. I was like, I hope I'm not boring Alistair by only doing exactly the same beat the entire time through. God, it's so monotonous. beat the entire time through. God, it's so monotonous. Andy, I was riveted by the crazy change in timing.

I want you to know I was not bored at all. You had me on my toes. Can I just run it by you one more time and we'll just see if I'm hearing the same thing as you're hearing, okay? Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do that there was just a big gap there before it could have been there could have been maybe i was lost for a moment in a reverie yeah you know i think i could have i could have slipped into a you know a sort of a yeah a trance remembering my youth i mean i guess if if you were so thinking about me and what i was thinking about it maybe you weren't entirely thinking about the the the art form itself i gotta start making it just for me and entirely thinking about the the the art form itself i gotta start making it just for me and not worry about what other people think exactly just make it like a make it like a bob seger song that you love a bob seger song okay now so not pete seger

or bob dylan no but the completely unrelated musician, Bob Seeger. Oh, no, he's not a musician. No? Oh, okay. But it's just like a song that a guy called Bob Seeger would create. No, but you know that there is a musician called Bob Seeger. Is there really? Yeah.

Oh, right. But I think he might be Australian. Really? I don't know anything about him except that I've seen him on Specs and Specs. Right. And is he only famous because of his portmanteau name? He's one of those portmanteau bros. And does he wear coats?

I think he might wear coats. So the portmanteau ports montos would you say is that is that too bilingual a pun and also maybe inaccurate i'm not sure oh well yeah uh you know i guess you know port Portmanteau is as Portmanteau does. You know? Yeah. Maybe you want to eat chocolate. I mean, Portmanteau, Portmanteau, it's a great name for a band, right?

Yeah. I'm Johnny Port and he's Frederick Manteau. Port and the Manteaus. Port and the mantos what would they do what would they what would the port and the mantos do uh let's see i think it's a sort of uh you know it's a cuban influenced rap do you think that they would combine they would combine um they would of course they combine they would of course they combine would they combine like the like every instrument is both melodic and rhythmic at the same time yeah that's that is the case but also all their musical styles they only perform musical styles

that can be expressed via a portmanteau so you, you know, for example, they'll do ska and reggae, and they'll call it skegay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Look, skegay, skegay. Skegay was a very fun word to hear. Yeah, thanks. What about they also do heavy metal and polka, but they call it heavy poker there we go yeah that's really good that's really good well i mean the idea of heavy the idea of heavy poker is already fun well that's

almost essentially what system of a down was i think really i i don't know maybe maybe i'm i'm misreading it but i kept hearing lots of polka influence in there yeah oh no that's fun i mean it could it could have just been other european music but other european music is all it all feels like it's all very derivative of polka is there something about torturing somebody? Because, you know, you used to torture somebody with a poker. But you're about to torture somebody with a poker, right? And then you get out your piano accordion and... Hot poker. And they confess straight away.

Hot poker. Hot poker. It's a man. It's a sort of a German man. I don't know exactly where poker comes from. A German man with that big curly mustache and the green hat, but instead of Liedenhausen, bikini. Instead of Liedenhausen, those glittery golden pants

that Kylie Minogue wore that time. Yeah, and a bikini top. Yeah, Indiana's dad had a pair of those. Because Indiana's godmother is the aunt of Kylie Minogue. I've forgotten this connection. That somehow that means that Kylie Minogue's old clothes percolate down to your father-in-law. Well, there we come to the fact- And he probably has about the same body type as Kylie Minogue.

They have a beautiful physique, both of them. And although I can't remember if it was the golden hot pants or red hot pants but they were sequined and he would wear them performing jazz man that's a beautiful like little um ecosystem right it is a little ecosystem the you know high in the canopy you have kylie minogue right and then uh as the seasons change her glittery hot pants she sheds her skin to the she sheds her skin and their glittery hot pants fall to the rainforest floor and the jazz musicians feast upon the jazz musicians fall upon them yes uh yes he's a tuba player right yeah yeah yeah uh tuba and and sort of double bass and stuff

a lot of bass instruments oh really i didn't know that he also uh plucked a string or two oh he's he's been known he's been known to plucker because it's like you know there's also like kind of like rockier bands and stuff like that that he'll play in where he'll play the bass and stuff um that's cool um anyway so that's just us tipping our hat to pip hello pip if you're listening which i don't think you are tip to pip we haven't written down a new segment a tipip. We start each episode. That's right. We're drifting away from sketch ideas. And now, since we haven't come up with a single one.

Last time, we had done seven minutes and we had seven sketch ideas. Today. Now, I mean, so there's nothing for you about torturing somebody with a red hot poker. With a hot poker and there's nothing for you about you know a sort of an ecosystem where the pop musicians clothes fall to the i mean like a rainforest floor all in a pod by the jazz musicians it's a little abstract it's a little bit i mean i do like you know i like that there is something there um i mean there was that sketch in big train where it's just like a bunch of jockeys out in the savannah running around and then they get

attacked by a lion you know it feels like this is that kind of it's just absurd yeah okay wait look i'm writing it absorbed. It's completely absorbed. Musicians. All right, look. What about Port and the Mantos? Is that something? Montos. Port and the Mantos.

Yeah, I mean. Red Hot Poker. I mean, you know, that felt like it was just one of those. Port and the Mantos, it feels like a throwaway joke in a, you know, a cutaway scene in like a, not a family guy, but maybe a Brooklyn Nine-Nine or something like that, where, you know, then you cut away to, you know, it's like that time I was in that band. Oh, you know what they would play they would probably play jazz fusion yeah probably but it's jazz fusion a portmanteau no but the music itself is a portmanteau ah it's a musical portmanteau yeah that's nice um but i mean who's gonna go wait wait wait like you don't even tell them that they play jazz

fusion you just start playing some jazz fusion do you think you think that people would get that do you think wait oh yeah they'd get it they'd be rolling is that is that a is les is that late 80s chick korea i know what this style of music is. Alistair, I think we should come up with a new type of home coffee machine. You know how there seems to

be every, you know, there's a cycle, there's a cycle that we go through, right? There's a cycle. I don't know if it's linked to El Nino or La Nina or something. there's a cycle i don't know if it's linked to el nino or something there's a cycle that we go through in coffee machine yeah so what's the cycle well the cycle is you know you get your aeropress comes along right and that's good big for what oh you know or you you had you know probably you had something with like a a you know, filter paper that you just let it drip or whatever.

And then you get the Aeropress machine and now there's this one that you sort of pump with your thumb, some sort of bullet thing, espresso bullet, right? You screw it all together and then you pump it and it builds up a whole lot of pressure. Yeah. Okay? I think, you know, we need to line ourselves up so that we're ready to ride the next wave

right so the next one will just be looking around the next one will be drip again right because it just seems like it's a form of filter that coffee drips through and then like espresso which is pressure stuff right yeah and then it goes back to drip and then it goes back to pressure so we just got to catch a new drip after this pressure wave we got to find a new way of dripping a new way of dripping remember when they did cold brew and like that was just like that was dripping slow and cold yeah so it has none of the uh none of the appealing features of of other coffees although i love the although cold brew is probably my favorite kind of coffee that's incredible that's really something because the flavor is more is more outrageous

outrageous yeah well okay i mean is there some way then that we could pressure cold pressure brew cold pressured you know we could oh yeah i mean look that could be our fusion our fusion oh is there some way that you can get ice you can get the the ice the ice you force ice into the beans. You use literally blocks of ice to make your coffee. And it comes out like, you know, super cooled. It's below zero. Alistair, this is boring. What about a coffee bong?

You just get the ground up you get the ground up coffee we know that the best bit of coffee is the smell yeah and so what about you just kind of you get unroasted beans but ground down you grind them before you roast them and then wet grind you wet grind like that and then you then you just get a little torch. You pass them through some water. That's really good for coffee. That's a big part of it. That's a big part of it.

But then you're not drinking that water because that becomes bong water, which is one of the worst things in the world. Yeah. And then ipso facto. And then ipso facto, and then you wind up with, you know, just breathe in that coffee smoke. Yeah. I mean, I like it. I'd huff some aroma, you know, like that's good stuff.

Where I was going to go with it is that we could use a different part of the body to pump the pressure machine. Breast pump. Like, you know, it could be something to do with the breasts. It could be something that you put between your knees. Stimulate male lactation, which is possible, especially during famine. That's why we have nipples, it it's it's so because it is possible for men to lactate and apparently yeah during famine men tend to start to lactate right and it's like it's like all right we've been able to lactate this whole time but you got it out

of us here you go here you go and then you taste a little bit of that man milk, and a single tear rolls down your cheek. But it goes in your coffee. Because it's the most beautiful thing you've ever tasted. Oh, imagine that. But you had to come to the very brink of death. And how do you know if it's really that good or if it's just the famine? Sure.

That makes it taste good. But isn't every culinary experience about the setting? You're absolutely right. If you're going to eat a dirty cheeseburger but then eat it surrounded by doctors looking at you and judging you, that's not going to be as good an experience. You're right. That's going to be horrible. But this is a new frontier for Heston, you know. Oh, Heston. He's trying to, not Charlton, Charlton Heston Blumenthal.

This is my new character. You can have this salmon foam when you pry it from my cold dead fingers yeah he's one of the members of port and the mantos you're exactly right uh yeah all the characters all the uh all the musicians would have to have their own names along those lines. Yeah. No, Charlton Heston Blumenthal would say, you could have my food foam making whatever those things are that they use to make their food foam. Pete Seeger Bob. Aerator. Good.

Good. Dylan. Pete Se Good. Dylan. Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan. Yeah, it's a good one. It's really good. Bob Seeger, Pete Dylan. No, no. Well, I did have a name that I wanted to use which was the pete seager

master system um if i ever did electro folk i would be called that's what i'd be called um and so you know maybe uh maybe that's in there as well maybe somehow he could be a he'd have to be a robot that that member of the band would have to be a cyborg sure they would i think they'd all have to be cyborgs actually or possibly frankenstein's really i guess oh yeah there would be their flesh chopped together yeah frankenstein is just frankenstein is just a um a living portmanteau, I think. Yeah. Is Pete Seeger dead? He is dead, yes. Yeah, I'm sorry.

So we would be able to dig up his body. Actually, it was his birthday like three days ago. Really? Hmm. How did you celebrate? Just me and the boys. Yeah? Ignored it.

You ignored it? Yeah. All of you. Yeah. All of you. Yeah, but it is funny how after celebrities die, we keep celebrating their birthdays. Do you think that's a bit weird? Well, I don't find it weird because I'd never done it before. But, but.

We keep track of it, though. And everyone's like, he would have been 170 years old today. If, you know, biology. Yeah. I do find that interesting. But he wouldn't have been happy. He wouldn't have looked great. I know.

But imagine if somehow he had got some of that naked mole rat genes or whatever like that and then become unable to age. Wait, they must age a little bit. They don't come out full dick size, right? Yeah, I guess they must grow, but maybe not age, right? I think there are other symptoms of aging. When people talk about finding the seven signs of aging, Yeah, one of them is getting bigger. Your height, the fact that you're not a baby isn't one of them.

Yeah, that's good. Hang on, we were talking about something just before. Okay, it was the Frankenstein, because I was going to ask you about the Frankenstein, which is if Pete Seeger was alive, because I think when you're making a Frankenstein out of two people, you kind of got to decide which one doesn't die. Which one's the Franken, which one's the Stein. Yeah, like which one's consciousness continues. I know, I guess the idea is you probably have like you know a brain hemisphere for each um you know that would be fair that's why they

kind of become a bit more dumb but there's got to be yeah do you do they or do they both have to die but you know that in the original book yeah it was frankenstein, he was incredibly the monster. Yeah. He was incredibly smart. Really? Yeah. Like he was a super genius. He taught himself all these languages just by listening to people through the walls and stuff.

And he was sort of basically unstoppable. He was like a Superman. Really? Yeah. Yeah, I should read that book. I haven't read it either, but I listened to a book cheat about it. Dave Warnockies. Because he's always portrayed as dumb. Do you think it's sort of rewriting history?

We don't want people to think that big meat robots are smart? A good idea. Yeah. I think you might be right. Big meat robot. But which one would you i wanted to so you just say your bit you say your bit um i wanted to say and i will mine's on a slightly different topic yeah it's okay just go for it well um i think know, how like celebrities die and we all get, as a society, get sad, right? So what if we found a way to keep people alive, right?

That's what I want. But basically, you know, for whatever reason, it's not great for the person who gets kept alive. And so general, most people don't want it for themselves. But what we do is that like when a celebrity becomes a big enough um deal we basically force them to stay alive forever right they you know they that maybe the government nationalizes their them you know as a national treasure and they get preserved sort of but like um the you know the the heritage trust people preserve old buildings yeah and so david bowie wouldn't have been allowed

to die we would have kept him alive with like you know these powerful drugs and like sort of relentless surgery and you know he's basically begging for death on a daily basis but he's like 250 years old and now you know he's he's no longer all that cool but we keep him alive somewhere and people you know go on tours right past him and there he is in a chair you're like and this is david bowie and maybe they'll give him a little electric shock or something to make him move a bit oh not it's not like it's not something that the visitors get to do well i mean maybe that's one of the way because they need money as well yeah these national trust things always need money so maybe if you pay a little bit extra you can you can give them a little electric shock yeah yeah oh that's nice, actually. Yeah, I like that.

Keep – Celebrities alive as a national – as a heritage attraction. Yeah, I like that. You know, I mean, I imagine they're in constant pain in some way. I mean, I'm sorry that I'm saying such – you know, bestowing such an awful fate on David Bowie who seemed pretty cool. Yeah, but he belongs to us now. Well, that's it.

Exactly. Right. Yeah, because their identity, you know, once you become that big of a deal to so many people, you think of the psychic damage that is done when one of those celebrities dies. Oh, so much. We wouldn't allow it anymore. I mean, this could be a good film, Al.

Yeah? This could be a good film in which, you know, a celebrity who has been sort of basically kidnapped and trapped by the state and kept alive for the purposes of, you know, the national psyche, tries to escape and seek death in some way. But he's trying to escape. Oh, this is the celebrity who wants to escape and try to die. Yeah.

Yeah. Do you think it could be? Sort of the opposite of Blade Runner. Do you think it could be like, oh, so does that one escape and try to get immortality? Yeah. I didn't realize that. You know what? I don't think I've ever really paid attention

to Blade Runner. I always thought it was about cutting things. I mean, running with a blade? Yeah. Pretty sure we're told not to do that as a kid so it just seems like an irresponsible film yeah i didn't i didn't like its philosophy i got as soon as somebody turns it on i just just disassociate or dissociate or whatever because i don't

take in any of those bad things actually yesterday i reckon I felt myself completely dissociate from my body when I could see a crow or a raven on the road and I could hear a car coming. It didn't seem like the crow was going to move. And I just completely averted my eyes and I feel like I let myself completely disconnect myself from my body because I didn't want to experience what I thought was about to happen. Wow. And then it just jumped out of the way and then i came back in i went whoa i think i just completely separated myself from this i didn't want to experience that at all yeah i mean was it what was that like as an experience would you say it was meditative in any way we did have a kind of like astral projection feel to it? No, it was just like I kind of just went entirely into my mind and then I wasn't really experiencing the world,

but I could feel myself shutting down all the possibilities of thinking anything and experiencing. Wow. Wow. See, when I see an animal about to be hit by a car, I sort of think I i become rock hard i start licking my lips a lot and i can't look away i don't know yeah i guess we're i guess we've got a different approach you know everyone's everyone's got their own thing yeah do you think

do you think this keep national treasure celebrities um alive this could be you know like you know some movies they kind of have like a few separate stories that seem disconnected from each other yeah could we could we have that one where we have that stand like sketches yeah but no but like let's say there's like three stories and they're all three of them are interesting right but they're kind of this and then i guess they probably connect with each other later uh but that's when you that's when you start winning awards oh absolutely the connecting they love they love a connection and so you do this one yeah national treasure escaping and then you've got the other one which is like remember that prince philip style guy who who who got ran into by like

a at a bunnings hardware store by like somebody who worked there and guy ran into his trolley or whatever and he just had a grudge he held a grudge and he was like trying to escape from the buckingham palace without being seen so that he could go and sort of maybe murder this man right so it's all celebrities trying to escape from things for different reasons yeah i, I guess so. And then eventually they encounter each other. Yeah, well, I mean, what would be great would be if the Prince Philip could kill David Bowie in this movie. Well, maybe then David Bowie could try to take this Bunnings guy's life and dress like him.

Because it's the perfect place to hide so that then he could get killed by so maybe it's just these two stories that he could get killed by prince philip yeah you know we could get the uh the english board of film making things to uh to fund the whole thing to fund it we got a couple of, you'll love this, right? We're desecrating two of your national treasures. Yeah. And it takes long enough to make a film that I think that, you know, his beloved wife will no longer be alive by the time it comes out. Oh, that's nice.

Oh, well, I'm glad she's getting something. Oh, you know what would be great would be if she could die at the premiere i mean that's right but it then it turns out she's actually killed by maggie you know maggie old woman maggie smith yeah wow okay like that who is who is just trying to you you know, I don't know, suicide by police or whatever. She's doing the David Bowie thing. You know, she's also trying to die.

Yeah, all right. Sure. I think the queen, now we know the queen's going to die. The queen knows the queen's going to die at some point. You think she knows? She's probably got incredibly good doctors who are going to be able to tell her pretty down to the minute when it is that she's going to pop off. I don't know.

So I think she should use her death to try and draw, you know, either make a statement or just, you know, maybe you could, if you own a business, say you own a noodle shop, right, imagine what a scoop it would be to be the noodle shop that the queen died in right that's true then so so you think people would it would it would be good for your business or bad for your business i guess it's always good isn't it i don't think it could possibly be bad it's always good for your business to have a queen die in there well who's gonna be like oh let's not go to that noodle shop.

The queen died there. The fact that you're even in the conversation like that is got to be something. So let's say there's a noodle shop. You're about to move some noodles. Ben's Funky Noodles, right? Ben's Funky Noodles, right? Ben's Funky Noodles, yeah. Yeah, and you hire them. Yeah, Ben's Funky Noodles sends some money to the queen or maybe even bribes one of her courtiers to bring her along

at the moment that she's about to die, serves her up a bowl of noodles, and she falls face first down into the laksa. A laksa. I think how spicy that would be on her eyes. Maybe the coconut would be soothing for her. And I imagine she's dead. It's fine.

Oh, yeah. It's fine, everyone. She's dead um and she uh and then you know i imagine you know obviously her body gets taken away but they probably have one of those wax models of her made with her face in a bowl of luxor yes and keep it permanently there just in the window of the shop keep the imprint that she leaves in the sort of in the laksa. In the laksa, like a death mask. Yeah, and just pour, I guess, some sort of a tofu mold in there or something like that and just kind of keep that.

Sure. Imagine that. And then their specialty dish becomes, you can eat the queen's face. Yeah. A tofu version of the queen's face. But they would call it like quo fu or something like that really good food quo fiend there we go quote quo fiend if they call it quo fiend it's really big and it becomes it becomes a new like sort of national dish

comes becomes like sort of every man food sort of like they have pot noodle over there right and everyone you know it's so popular everyone orders a quofein it's a mass produced thing yeah you open up the packet there's the queen's face down there at the bottom of the bowl looking a bit dry you pour in some boiling water oh she comes alive again she looks young again as young as she was when she was uh as young as she was when she died at about 98 she still looks young compared to that sort of shriveled up you know dehydrated tofu um um yeah no i like that

um face tofu face tofu by the way i mean look just that thing where i just want to go back to that moment in the in this scenario where her face falls into the luxa and somebody says oh that's gonna be so spicy on her for her eyes and then someone yells no it's okay she's dead yeah you like that yeah no i love that somebody shouts that before they attempt to revive deal with the situation in any way yeah i guess it's rude to touch the queen we know that that's one of the big no-nos if if the queens if you were there right you were one of the waiters and for some reason all of her minders went in or let's say you were one of her minders right and her face did fall into the loxa what how would you pull her head out of the loxa would you grab the back of the hair i'd grab the hair yeah absolutely or would you sort of place your

fingers on gently like the like the pads of your fingers on either side of her face and pull it out like that? Or would you just scoop her forehead up with one hand and lift it up? Or try to lift from the neck? That seems crazy. I mean, this is a very funny sketch. Shoulders? Well, it's etiquette isn't it it's royal etiquette yeah what to do with pulling the queen's face out of a bowl of lux are you supposed

to use we have a maybe there are there are special royal tongs you gotta grab a silver tongs you grab her cape with the tongs and you pull that. But I love a, you know, a video that they show to people who are about to meet the queen that goes into such depth about the protocol for all these different elaborate scenarios. Like if she collapses face first into a bowl of laksa. There's a special spoon that you're supposed to use to... Scoop her out. It's incredibly rude to not ask her first. There's a couple of sentences you must say. Madam, I am about to use the royal spoon

to scoop thee out of thy broth yeah because just because there's there was three occasions where she was just drinking the broth and those people were beheaded that happened to a couple of my ancestors We're beheaded. That happened to a couple of our ancestors. This is what happened when they were visiting Southeast Asia. There's also something so visceral about the idea of grabbing a fistful of her, that curly hair of hers at the back of her head, and yanking her while the noodles and the sauce spray off her face all around the room.

Just imagine the shock, though, of doing that out of a panic. And then she comes up and you see that her lips are pursed in a kind of O shape. And she's sucking up a noodle. And you go, oh, no, what have I done? Oh, Piers Morgan is going to yell at me. Yeah. Just then? Okay.

It's all good. Well, look, I'll just wrap it up now andy andy has stopped his recording and so i will take us through the sketch ideas we got port and the mantos we don't really know what that sketch is but it's a band that it seems to be made up of frankensteins of two other people, and they play jazz fusion. Then we've got Hot Polka Torture, and that doesn't really work in my accent, but that's torture but with attractive bikini-clad German man torturing somebody by playing polka music.

Then we got Musician Ecos ecosystem with the Minogue hot pants falling to the ground as jazz musicians take them. You know, you kind of made sense before. Then we've got the famine male breast milk experience. And that's you got to go through famine to

experience that. Then we got Frankenstein's or human portmanteaus. Now that's kind of linked to that first one, but we didn't link it until later on until we came up with the idea. Then we've got Keep National Treasure Celebrities Alive as an Attraction. You can give them electric shocks. This is so that they can make money. It's like David Bowie. Once you reach a certain level of fame, then they preserve you. And then we have the queen dies in a noodle store and makes it famous. Then they have a dried face tofu dish where they can reconstitute it. Then there's maybe a bit more stuff about how would you get the queen out,

the queen's face out of a bowl of laksa. Yep. the queen's face out of a bowl of laksa yep andy thinks that that's a separate sketch about royal etiquette and he's still on the phone to me wait okay i love how now there are so many every there's so many episodes that have a really distinct flavor because of something going terribly wrong and just you know like last episode was the andy has the vomit episode uh you know we've got the ones where i got called away to the baby and like you know andy just had to do the whole episode by himself there's a lot of there's been a this season has had a lot of distinct, like, our lives are falling apart kind of narratives.
