Hello, and welcome to Two in the Thing Tank, the show where we come up with five sketch ideas. What was the thing that you said instead of five just then? Ah.

Oh. It was, I was on the verge of saying a number of an idea ah which is of course what i say usually in the side tank episodes available to patreon supporters but also sometimes in the intro to this because i've started tuning out during this section of the podcast you know this is turning out to be like that movie click where he's trying to fast forward through different bits of his life yes yes and yes. And I think you'll find out that that didn't turn out well for him. And he discovered that

he was wasting his life. Is that what happens in that movie? I saw a thing about Adam Sandler movies all ranked. And that one got number one. You're kidding. Click. I've never seen Click.

You know what's number two? The Cobbler. No, I'm not sure. I don't think Click. I've never seen Click. You know what's number two? The Cobbler. No, I'm not sure. I don't think so. I mean, come on. No. I don't know. I don't know.

I can't remember. But that's probably one of the classic ones. But Click, you know, I think it's because it's the most poignant. Poignant. Yeah. I mean, you know, 50 First Dates had its poignancy. Did have a poignancy, didn't it? But, like, do you think that this was before or after Uncut Gems

that Click got number one? It was way before Uncut Gems. Yeah, okay, right. But also, that's not... It's not really an Adam Sandler movie, is it? Yeah, it's not an Adam Sandler movie. That's just a movie that Adam Sandler is in. You know, that's a...

I suppose if you were going to rank um the films of sort of you know twin twin brothers twin brothers who are safety safety yeah maybe you're right but i was going to say you know sort of like otter otter brothers you know um films and then maybe that would be up there made you know because i mean there's another otuteur who made a movie with Chandler in it. Who's the guy who made... I'm not thinking Spanglish. Don't think I'm thinking Spanglish. Is it Spanglish?

No. Punch Drunk Love. Punch Drunk Love. It was either the guy who did Black Swan or it's the guy who did... Darren Aronofsky. That's a name that's the guy who did... Darren Aronofsky. It's a name that you never want to end. Darren Aronofsky. You're in the middle of this name.

Darren Aronofsky. That's what you never have to end it. Just keep this going. You know this high. You know when you like a song that you never want to end where it goes like... You know this high. You know like a song that you never want to end where it goes like... It's the real and another thing.

You've always got to have the last note, don't you? That's right. It's competing composers trying to have the last. Instead of dueling banjos. Competing composers. Competing composers. Now, why would that be the case? Why would the two composers be composing the same piece of music?

Whilst it's playing. Whilst it's playing. Whilst it's playing and also maybe they write it via correspondence and they just send each other one note and then each is trying to up each other with the next note in the correspondence, do you think? Yeah, to get maybe a higher fraction of the percentage of the song as well. Do you think sometimes they send you the next note and you're like,

oh, fuck. You know, you could, I guess. He's done it. I didn't think he could do it. But that B flat. Oh, yeah. Because if they were trying to also, I mean, at the end, the longer you go, the more ending the song would have

until a point where the actual beginning of the song. You're right. The song would be almost all ending you could cut off the beginning and you could make a song that's all ending it's all that all just wrapping up yeah is that a sketch i don't know what the sketch idea is here um okay so it's either competing composers it's either competing it could have also been i mean i know that these guys you know like conduct competing conductors, that still works with the alliteration. For some reason, there's two.

We've kept that beautiful alliteration from dueling banjos. Well, it's close to an alliteration because the B and the D. The B and the D are so close together in the alphabet. So close to each other, yeah. And in terms of their look, assuming that it's not the beginning of the sentence. Sure. And the D is not a big D. Yeah.

Yeah? Yeah. So. Anyway. What am I writing down here? Am I writing down anything? Do you want me to just abandon everything that's happened? Let's just move on.

Okay. Let's just keep on keep on rolling baby you know we've talked about this right the idea of a disease that's that makes you feel good do you think that there are any any diseases that make you feel really good like you're sad when you're not sick anymore because there's a little bit of like the coming down with the flu where you're like oh i just gotta stay in bed sorry everyone yeah yeah that's that's the that's the deep down inside i'm gonna get to have a break which once you have kids you actually don't get to have no no oh i'm gonna have to keep doing everything this is great i'm gonna not be able to work but i'm'm going to be able to still. Be at home.

And taking care of many other people's needs nonstop. All with the awareness that they're going to get sick as well. And then I'm going to have to deal with that. It's going to be at least a two week ordeal. But a disease where you're sick, so you're not allowed to go into work. But it's almost like, and then you're ecstatic. You feel euphoria. I think that we should, you know, like they're doing with the mosquitoes,

giving these mosquitoes Wolbachia bacteria, so that doesn't transfer Zika and dengue and stuff like that, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not sure if they've got it from malaria yet. They were trying to do it from malaria. It would be a great thing to get from malaria. If they're not trying it from malaria, I recommend they should. You know what?

That's a great idea. I'm going to call them. Sorry, you don't mind if I do this on the air? No. Hi. People who put Wobakia bacteria in mosquitoes? This is he. Yeah.

I just had an idea. I know that you... Okay, so you know you've done this thing with dengue fever and Zika and stuff like that? Oh, yes. I know what you mean. My friend Andy had an idea. I know that, okay, so you know you've done this thing with dengue fever and Zika. Oh, yes. I know what you mean. My friend Andy had an idea. Okay. What about doing that for, what was the disease? Malaria.

Malaria. Oh, so you already knew it. Wait, which, were you the person at the other end of the phone? Oh, you already thought of that. Who are you talking to? Sorry, sorry. I'm here with my wife, Andy. I don't know what I'm doing here. Right, so we've got them.

And then those mosquitoes take the place of the other mosquitoes. I don't know why they out-compete them. But when they breed with them anyway, so they pass on the... The bacteria passes through the... Maybe it's a sexually transmitted bacteria. It is sexually transmitted. Really? And so, or at least it's passed on to the children at the very least.

Ah, sure, sure, sure. And so, what we want, but we want that kind of thing, but we want it with diseases. so let's say we get a a good feeling version of covet for example right and we get it to outcompete we we we genetically engineered i say that we we design this one in a lab right it's the lab leak plan plan right and we get it to outcompete. We make it more contagious.

Yeah. But the big part is that it makes you just feel so great. Feel so good. I mean, is there – would this be something like – hang on. Let me finish my thought. Let me get my thought back because it was just slipping away from me. But would this be a case where, like, it's the reverse of all the COVID safety measures? But would this be a case where it's the reverse of all the COVID safety measures?

There are governments out there warning you about the ways in which you will not get COVID or this new version of the disease. These are the hot spots, so make sure you get down there before it's all breathed in. I think maybe... Before all the particles are breathed in. Get yourself some. Yeah, make sure you get this while this wave is here. It's a wave that you want to catch this is the good variant yeah oh wow variant comes around that's right this is the

one to catch yeah if because you got to ride that wave yeah but then think about it like so maybe because i guess maybe a lot of the bad feeling comes from competing with a virus the virus that comes in here and then you fight it fights your thing but what if it's a virus that comes in here and then you fight. It fights your thing. But what if it's a virus that comes in and cooperates? Yeah. And it's like, you know, it's helping some of your older cells to cross the blood vessels, you know. Yeah. I mean, I wonder what other, has anybody looked into just shutting down the immune system completely? Letting it have a break.

Well, switch it off. Let the virus come in. It's like Britain when the French invaded William the Conqueror. Sure, they thought it was bad at the time, but then they let him be the king. That's pretty good. Well, I mean, the English language has arisen as a result of it. I mean, what England is now today is as a result of William the Conqueror. That's true. So, you know.

I suppose it would also have been that case if they had fought them and whatever happened. Sure. But I mean, if people today think that England is good, and I'm not saying anybody does. I'm not suggesting that for a second. If hypothetically. Let's imagine somebody says that yeah well then that's because they were successfully conquered right by william the conqueror which i mean as soon as he came in with that name i would have been like oh here we go we're in trouble here we go but uh i think so it's they might have thought that it had something to do with conquers

hey i was actually i was wondering if that's the case if the word no but yesterday i was thinking he turns things into conquers no but i was wondering yesterday if the word conquer which we spell c-o-n-k-E-R, is actually just because of the game where you bang your conkers together to try to conquer the other person. Is that why we call conkers, conkers? Alistair, you're not listening. I'm writing down. It's a different William the Conqueror.

This is the one who turned things into conkers. Or he plays conkers? Well... Conqueror. Somebody who plays conkers is aqueror. This is the one who turned things into Conkers. Or he plays Conkers? Well... Conqueror. Somebody who plays Conkers is a Conkeror. I don't know. I like that he turns things into Conkers. Right, okay. What about the Spanish Conquistadors? Do they have anything to do with Conkers? I don't think so. No, alright. Conker... Oh, I can't even do it. Who turns... Who turns things... I can't believe do it. Who turns... Who turns things... I can't believe that you're writing that down,

but Alistair, I'm happy. But my point is that in the same way that Britain, England of today is what it is because of that. Who knows what we could become in the future if we let COVID take over our bodies and be in charge, right? Let it replace, like imagine a person where all their DNA is COVID DNA, COVID cell, every part of their body is now COVID cell DNA. What would they look like?

I think that if you're a virus and you take over a body, right, and you realise this is all mine, suddenly it's in your interest to this is all mine. Yeah. Suddenly, it's in your interest to protect it. Exactly. So then... Exactly. And so, then it will need to start, you know, dividing up roles. Can you start defending the body?

I mean, I think once we give it a taste of what it's like to be in charge like that, maybe it'll realize that it didn't want that responsibility at all. Yeah, it'll go. But it's got to come to that conclusion of itself. Of itself, yeah. Yeah. And so we just need to keep you on some kind of life support. It's got to go off to work.

Yeah. So I thought you didn't sign up for any of this. Oh, it's all fun. Making decisions. Coming and taking what you want from a cell and having sex in there or whatever you do. Splitting. Sure. I bet. Do cells have orgasms while they there or whatever you do. Splitting. Sure. I bet.

Do cells have orgasms while they split, do you think? It feels really good. You think it feels good? Yeah. They feel incredible. They wouldn't put a disincentive in there by having whatever the opposite of an orgasm is. No. A pain-gasm.

A bore-gasm. A bore-gasm. A bore-gasm, that's when you're really bored. Yeah. But it has to come to some kind of boredom climax Yeah, snorgasm Those would be the same thing, really No, but snorgasm is

I think I've heard people snorgasm Which is where, you know, it's like you hear somebody regular Yeah, it's sleep apnea Where you finally choke That's it. I'll sleep where she's sleeping. That's the woman in the bed restaurant. Is that where people eat beds?

No, I think it's... Is that where people eat in bed? I think it's where you eat in bed. I'll have what she's sleeping? I'll have what she's... I'll sleep where she's sleeping. Oh, I'll eat what she's sleeping. That's it. We got there.

So then she does eat a bed. Yeah, she eats a bed. But, you know, a lot of times things at restaurants are served on beds, you know. Salmon served on a bed of rice. But you're never on a bed. It sounds like either the waiter is on a bed or you should be on a bed if the food is served on a bed. But then it turns out the food's got a bed, but I don't have a bed. I mean, who is this a restaurant for? The salmon's on a bed if the food is served on a bed. But then it turns out the food's got a bed, but I don't have a bed. I mean, who is this a restaurant for?

The salmon's on a bed. It would be its deathbed. I suppose so. Its deathbed of rice. It's a deathbed. They never talk about what type of bed it is, but it is a deathbed. Yeah, it is a deathbed of rice.

It's not so nice. You should put it on a chair or something like a gondola or something like that. Sure. Oh, it's on the gondola of rice. What do you call it? It's always served on a bed. It's never served on a chair.

It's never on a table. You never see the salmon coming out on a chair or maybe a swing. Yes, it's on a table of panini bread. Yes, it's on a table of panini Why would the chicken be on a fish, the salmon be on a table Except that it is on a table obviously It's already on a table

But you've got to remember that a fish isn't normally on a bed either Why would a fish get on a bed? Oh, what about the seabed? Well, yeah, I suppose if you're eating flathead or whatever that naturally rests on the seabed but you know most of the time they'll just be in the liquid in the liquid bit the liquid bit yes that would be the sheets of the i would have said some of the seabed because the seabed is sand

some of the sand would be the sheet as well that's true especially when you see the those flatheads sort of burrowing themselves down under it yeah um imagine that mattress instead of like why have the you know why have the mattress made of one thing and then a sheet and then more sheets on top like that right if it was all sheets all the way up it was just a rotating you know what you know what would be so incredible about that what's that is that when you time to change the sheet yeah you just rip off a layer exactly and then you start you're starting to fresh again and then when you you just have rollers on the bottom that roll the sheets underneath oh no i don't know i don't i don't like that i like a bed that is just layer after layer after layer until eventually you're just sleeping on the floor well yeah but i mean that's

a long way away yeah i you know it could be like a 50 year bed or you get like a 20 year bed depending on how often you change your sheets um yeah i'm excited by that. Yeah? I also think, you know, like a sort of a – I could imagine a bachelor thing or maybe a hostel where the sheets are sort of paper and you pull them out of a thing like that thing that dispenses those things that go over toilet seats, you know, and you get there and there's a big roller at the end of the bed like uh like one i don't like the roller one that would dispense like grease proof paper or something like that but it's the full width of the bed and you tear it you pull out a length of it you tear it

off on the little serrated edge oh so it'd be like um being at the doctor's office all the time you know when they got that thing for you to rest your butt on. Baker's paper or whatever it is. It is. Wax paper. It is as close as you get to being a bit of fish. A bit of fish on a bed. On a bed. And we're back to fish on beds. I don't see if we're able to get away from this idea. What if- Well, it's so exciting.

There's so much in it. I know that I think the listeners will agree. It's a very rich idea. But like, you know, what about, you know, why not try to have a bed of rice? Like a bed of fluffy steamed rice. Yeah, sure. Warm still. Sure, sure.

Because, I mean, rice cookers are great. You know, think about this. Agreed. You know, we recently got rid of our rice cooker, though. Why? You looked at me with disgust. Why? Because we don't have that much storage space in our house.

Yeah. We don't have a huge amount of bench space. And we found that it's just as easy to cook it on the stove. The absorption method is flawless, foolproof. You think it's foolproof? Oh. Oh, you think that's foolproof? Yeah, look, I mean, I stopped using a rice cooker ages ago,

but I really wanted to seem disappointed in you. Yeah, no, of course. And I would never take that away from you. Yeah, exactly. Withhold that. Do you do the, you boil it for like 10 minutes or two minutes or five minutes or whatever it is. Yeah, then you let it sit for like five minutes. Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Just let me finish. Because there is one where you then just turn it down low for about 10 minutes. I do that with brown rice. And then put the lid on. You kind of do it half covered. And then you do it, put the lid on, and then you let it sit for another like five minutes. I reckon I probably do it a different way every single time. I always find myself Googling rice absorption method.

It's written on the bag. Do whatever it says. I'm not interested in that. I want the latest. I want the latest results. I search rice cooking method. I want the latest results. I search rice cooking method. I go to new scientist. And I go to latest news.

I rank it from newest to oldest. I go to news. I go to the news tab only. And I look for articles, recent articles that bring me what's cutting edge. I use Google Scholar. I want to see. I find one that says you know happiness linked to the rice cooking method that has the um highest page rank of

cross citations oh lost interest in that sentence i mean it was good yeah it was good i mean what what is there anything in that? I mean, there is something fun. Is there anything sketch-wise about, like, you know, you're arguing with your beloved about the best way to cook rice and you are, like, she's using some traditional method and you're like, why would I want to use a traditional method? Yeah.

When there's this exciting new method big you know in the developments and in sort of uh you know san francisco or whatever that all the all the latest the tech guys how are they cooking it in silicon valley you know yeah uh ways that they can do it so that they're not using up all their dopamine because sometimes if you if you know it's like if you're dopamine depraving yourself or whatever have you seen any of these i haven't i don't know i don't know what you're talking about but i think i probably am there there is a thing i think where some guys like it's not if it's not dopamine it's one of those other ones but they they they try to like deprave themselves of dopamine so that when they they feel dopamine they can really experience it or something like that is this

some version of it's all it's another thing i don't know but then they're like what we discovered if you open up the the lid and it's like you know and the rice looks perfect that actually uses up too much of your dopamine you know what i don't like in a in a in a rice cooking recipe and sometimes i don't i don't specifically don't select these ones yeah there are some that go out of their way to tell you that you're not allowed to stir the rice i don't like that yeah i mean there's some that even specifically say don't be tempted to stir the rice and i'm like fuck you well i've got to stir that rice like when are you going to stir it i'm going to open it up at various points and i'm going to stir the rice.

Really? Yeah. I mean, I will do it when I first put it in, right? And it's in there because I think it finds it all bunches together, right? Really early on. Oh, you give it a stir early on. Early on. You want a little bit of like, you know, you go, I don't want it clumping together.

No, you can't tell me that's not good. Yeah. So that's good. I like that. Yeah. But anything beyond that is psychopathic. No, a couple more stirs like you have a couple more because you want it to create that kind of like that structural

lattice thing where it's like creating tunnels for air to come out and things like that i think it creates it so that it can you think the rice knows well i don't know i don't want the rice to know i don't want rice that knows okay i just think that it's important for you know venting and things like that and and you know i think it creates like almost um what are those things in your like synapses but for for you know moisture to get in and out wow and things like that neural pathways to access all of the all of the the rice grain areas. And if you mix it too much, you're constantly messing with what the rice wants. Giving it the version of rice Alzheimer's

where none of the connections are there anymore. Exactly, yeah. But then maybe your rice becomes too densely packed. Do you ever worry about that? No, I mean, I think that's what I'm trying to avoid by stirring it. You know, trying to... I mean, and Alistair,

I agree that the science is on your side right every single or almost every single article mentions it and if they don't mention it's not because they're saying by the way it's okay to give it a few stirs treat yourself to a couple of it's just because they don't think it's worth mentioning because it's mentioned by every single other article. But then- I mean, I question that consensus. I'm a skeptic. I know, I know.

But here's the other problem with a late stir is that you start breaking the rice grains up as they're more cooked. You're breaking them up and then you're getting all this mush. You're getting all this mush. And I'm stirring it hard and fast. I'm really getting in there.

You're getting that rice slush like that and you're serving up your kids things and they're like daddy what is this my little german babies what is this white moosh papa i can't tell between that and theay sauce you put on top. I'm guessing you're making a lot of Mornay. She's my children are reluctant to eat a lot of stuff. Yeah. Rice? Well, I mean, it's this pathetic charade that we go through where they will eat rice, right?

But they won't eat anything you put on rice. So you've got to try and put the toppings on. But also I put them over to the side because I know that then they're just going to complain about, this rice has a bit of sauce on it or something like that. Have you ever tried feeding them wedges with sour cream and sweet chili sauce? Just give them a full plate each, like a big plate. And I want you to cook through those wedges.

Don't let them. Some of those massive wedges. They're so stodgy. A little crunch on the inside there still. You know. No. I want you to just try that. Just one day.

You're going to get a lot of pushback from your beloved on this. Right. He said tonight honey. Let me take control. Like that. And I know that it's. You know. You often do take control in the kitchen

oh yeah like that i know you're um you're very dominant in the kitchen yeah um i don't even know what the thought i just had was i was trying to go on you're like uh you're like um steve jobs in the bedroom but i uh but i like a i don't know a connor mcgregor in the kitchen um i don't know what any of that means i none of those thought none of those names were in there it was i don't know what it was you were just like a demon a demon in the kitchen i do like the idea of a cooking show that um does have you know, little people working against you. And I'm imagining, you know, they're grabbing the pots and pans and running away with them while you're trying to cook.

Like little elves. I'm picturing elves. Like imps. Maybe imps. Imps, elves, gremlin-y type characters. They're cheeky little guys. Maybe like, not the sand people, but who are the other those little ones in star wars who have the glowing eyes and the oompa loompas

uh yeah i know the ones not the ewoks not the ewoks not the ewoks these are the ones i think well you're thinking of the sand ones no the sand people are the ones that go like that and they they hit you with sticks. But these other glowing eyes, they are in the sand area. They are in the sandy areas. Yes, I don't know. So the ones you're talking about that you're calling the sand ones, are they made of sand?

No. They're just also in the sand. They're also in the sand area. Is it one of those big beasts? No, it's not a big beast. As I say, it's a little guy. It's a little guy. But there's two groups of little guys in Star Wars that live in the sand.

No, one of them aren't little guys. Right. But they're the ones called the sand people. That's not the one I'm talking about. The guy who would fly, who got Anakin into pod racing. It was a kind of sandy market area. But this is, you're talking about out in nature. Out in nature.

But they do have their own community. But this is, you're talking about out in nature. Out in nature. But they do have their own community? They have their own community and they drive big, big, big metal vehicles with tracks across the sand. Okay. But, you know, I feel like we're getting bogged down. What were we talking about?

Oh, it's a cooking show, but where you got to... Yeah, but a picture of the guy, someone's running away with the pan. Yeah, yeah. That's my favorite bit about it yeah it's in like i guess oh okay this is quite interesting because you know in in a master chef scenario you get to go into the um into the pantry and all the food is there right but that's a bit too easy what i do like is that you start in the middle of the field, right? And there's all these people, quite fast people. Start in the middle of a field.

Yeah. And they're holding all the ingredients, right? Yeah, yeah. And then there's some sort of pistol fired or something like that. And they all start running away. And you've got to chase them down and grab the- No. Okay.

No. Because it'd be fun that you get to hunt like people or whatever but to get their vegetables that's what it is i suppose you're right yeah but i mean if you want weapons to be involved yeah well i'm just i mean it doesn't have to be like non-lethal yeah yeah it could be things like that because i mean imagine if you were in a field and then because i mean i do like I do like any kind of idea that's a cooking show. And so you're learning a meal by the end of it, right? You're learning how to make grilled cheese or whatever like that.

But you do have to overcome some stuff. Grilled cheese. You're learning how to make grilled cheese. But you still have to overcome some imp or something. But you still have to overcome some imp or something. Imagine having to catch a truffle pig and then find an area where there are truffles in order to make these kind of Red Rock Deli truffle and cheddar chips. Surely we are at the point now with, you know, self-driving cars and autonomous vehicles and that kind of thing. And those robot dogs.

Self-driving truffle pigs. Well. No. I mean, I don't see why, you know, with those robot dogs, those Boston Dynamics dogs. Yeah. That dog couldn't have on its back a small vegetable garden, like a planter box. Right. And then you release some of those into the forest. And then you release some of those into the forest.

And then hunters, vegan hunters, can then try and shoot those vegetables and take them home. They shoot the vegetables or they shoot the dog and then to get the vegetables? I think in an ideal world, it would just be a vegetable with legs. But I don't know if you could shoot the vegetables off the in an ideal world it would just be a vegetable with legs but i don't know whether you i don't i don't know if you could shoot the you could shoot the vegetables off the top of the dog dressing the dogs up as like a capsicum or something like that i mean ideally yeah right it would be a tiny little cat it would be just a normal capsicum yeah just with tiny little legs on the bottom running along what's the hopping and jumping hopping and jumping well i mean the dog is like the leader of the dog is an example of uh the type of technology that

would facilitate this so if we could miniaturize the dog yeah just give those little legs to a capsicum yeah baby i imagine how cute that would be jumping out from behind the rocks hiding beneath a log that sort of thing as you relentlessly and remorselessly hunt this capsicum across. Yeah, yeah. And could the capsicum have lots of little capsicums? You could have a tiny little capsicum family. Yeah, following it. That you have to put out of their misery, smashing them with a hammer.

Smother them with your hunting pillow. Smother them with your hunting pillow I mean this is Okay Alistair this is a horrible idea This is a horrible idea That I'm going to tell you Okay This is awful

So listen No Alistair calm down I love Listen to my awful idea The pillow's held on the back And you gotta pull it off like it's like a... Absolutely.

Okay. So this is an end of life scenario. Yeah. People who are in palliative care. Okay. Oh. End of life scenario. Thank you, Siri.

Siri has just brought me up information on end of life scenarios but these are people who are on those gurneys and they can't move you know because they're approaching the end now we make those self-driving gurneys self-driving off-road gurneys yeah okay bigger wheels bigger wheels we release them into again a forest and then terrible place for driving by the way. Sure, sure. Yeah, yeah. But they can handle it, right?

That's right. Because they've got eight wheels or whatever. Yeah. These people aren't driving. The machines are driving themselves. The people aren't conscious anymore. Okay, right, right. They're right at the end.

So they are in a situation needing to be put out of their misery. And then you have, I guess, billionaires who are hunting, I guess, the least dangerous game of all. People who are about to die and you release them. Yes, the billionaires go out there with their hunting pillow and try to smother people who are scuttling away on their off-road journeys. Well, it could also be, it's kind of, it could still be at one of those, you know, like car racing, right? Car racing is kind of company versus company, car companies, things like that. It is. or showing off their skills by getting into sort of self-driving, you know, end-of-life gurneys that work off-road. So if like Tesla and like Toyota and things like that.

Yeah, we're making, you know, like, yeah, Ferrari, we're all making self-driving. You know who'd be great? Who'd be really good for this? What? Michael Schumacher. He's already in the gurney. Oh, my gosh. It'd be perfect. I think he good for this. What? Michael Schumacher, he's already in the movie. Oh, my gosh.

It'd be perfect. I think he wants this. Oh, no. The tenseness in Andy's voice is because he understands that this is a horrible thing to say, but also perfect for the idea. And so they get to show off their amazing technology and uh and then you know obviously these billionaires who are really funding or maybe it's the loved ones trying to put them out of their misery you think that's is that better in some way what about the billionaires pay a lot of money to do the hunting

and that money goes directly into hospitals? Or it pays off all the – this would be perfect in America where it pays off the medical bills so that they don't get passed down onto the family. That's incredible. That's incredible. And then maybe a little something for daddy as well, a little something on top.

Is this for the loved ones as well? Yeah, I was just referring to them as daddy. Yeah, great. But yeah, I think, look, I think that's a great idea. I've called it the hunting pillow, but should I just add that as a separate thing, the self-driving? Yeah.

I mean, I think it's i don't see an immediately a context for the hunting pillow the hunting pillow is just an interesting idea by itself it is a beautiful idea you're right where where you know you smother things you smother things you know you find a wolf a sleeping wolf well you don't have to find a sleeping one wow wow i mean you could fight one-on-one with a wolf a hungry wolf yeah and then you pin it down get its head trapped in between i guess your pillow and the ground and you're trying to cover all of its breathing holes imagine how hard that would be with it's clawing i mean it's pulling away i mean imagine how hard it would be with a giant frog. And they're just continuing to breathe.

They're breathing through their skin. Through their skin. Okay. I wasn't completely with you. Do frogs breathe through their skin? Yeah, I think so. That's why I'm pretty sure this is a new thing for me to find this out. Is that why you can't paint frogs? Why do they say you shouldn't paint frogs it's one of the many reasons that they say

that you can't paint frogs because then they'll be breathing in all those painting fumes we ride in that paint kazoo that paint kazoo self driving gurneys for near dead to be hunted.

Now, something about you saying daddy before made me think of a song that came on Shuffle a couple of days ago. You've been listening to songs? By Julie London. You know, because my youngest son, Remy, is a musical man. He loves music. But musicals? He loves everything musical. Does he like Dolly Parton?

He loves Dolly Parton. You know he likes Dolly Parton. Yeah, I know. He's obsessed with Dolly Parton. I love Dolly Parton as well. But anyone we introduce him to becomes one of his favorite singers basically pretty quickly, and then he wants to listen to more and more. But yeah, Julie London, who I'd never heard of before.

Me neither. All right. And a song came on, and I think it was called something like I Belong to Daddy or something like that. And it's basically a song, sort of I guess a sex song about her daddy or something. Like it's very like, you know, no boy would ever be enough because i've

always got my daddy and my daddy's good to me and that sort of thing it doesn't necessarily have to be a sex song but it could just be it could just be somebody who's dedicated to family and their father yeah but but like it was you know it's it's very sultry and it's very full on and it's from a sort of a genre of music that I think maybe only exists, like I don't know what they thought they were doing with this song. It's from like the 60s or the 50s or something. Without having heard it,

it feels like strong family values, kind of like, you know, nobody will replace how great my parents are. Yeah, and that's what i'm saying is that i think it's good and i think they should start making those kinds of things you think we should bring that again yeah uh no one's hotter than my mama exactly there ain't no hotter mama than mine than my loyal than my cousin gurney gurney yeah i mean is he a self-driving girl he's a self-driving gurney for the near death

for billionaires gurney is a great word yeah no It's actually a shame that you can't call your kid Gurney. You can't though, can you? Because I mean, it would work for you, Gurney Matthews. Gurney. Gurney, your wife's last name and your last name together. I'm not going to dox you anymore on this show, Andy. Not anymore. Not since the start of this sentence.

No, no, no. I'm a changed man, Andy. Last name. You know, we actually have five ideas. Yeah, I bet they're all good. Well, there were so many ideas today that I didn't write down because they weren't quite there. Yeah.

But don't worry, I got William the Conqueror. Oh, no. Who turns things into conkers. Turns things into conkers. But, you know, there's other things that are not. There's that candy. Well, that's very interesting that things could be conkers. Anything could be a conker.

If you can tie it to the end of a string or rope. It's conker alchemy. It could be a conker. And you can. Al-conker me. Al- or rope. It's conquer alchemy. It can be a conker. And you can... Alconquer me. It's alconquer me. And, you know, you can swing two filing cabinets at each other. That's actually the pickup line that my wife used when she met me.

Alconquer me. Wow. And did you? No, not yet. It's turning into a real Afghanistan situation. Yeah, I'm thinking about pulling out and then letting the guy who was there before finish, you know, take over again.

I guess that would just be her, right? Yeah, the guy who used to be there was her. Yeah. that would just be her right yeah the guy who used to be there was her yeah um i am gonna go to the three words from a listener if you're okay with that unless we were talking about something that was unfinished really nothing oh you were gonna say something about a bit about sex songs about daddies didn't really no anywhere and i'm not surprised and that's usually one of our strong points this kind of real incestuous musical stuff.

I just couldn't like, at what point in the process, and this is coming on now as a song that's like, ah, listen to this old classic. And you're like, I'm deeply uncomfortable about the messages here. What about that song, you know, that girl, I'm going to make you you sweat sweat till you can't sweat no more and if you cry i'm gonna push it some more or wow how do you feel about that is that what is that what the lyrics are yeah yeah Oh, wow. And here's a bit of thinking music so you can really process what you just heard. That's the kind of lyrics where you really do need a palate cleanser like that before you go on. Anyway. Hey.

Yeah, that's incredible. So, Andy, today we have three words from a listener. I don't know if you know this but we have listeners and sometimes they can submit two or three words and they can't really submit two words can they can they oh can't they well i guess we'll see okay we don't know andy we'll see the history of this how this podcast goes and uh one day i guess we'll find out we'll see the history i guess we will yeah yeah well i think that when words appear in your mind, that you do... They're already in the past. Yeah, and you see them with your mind, because your mind has kind of its own revision system

that I think it steals from the eyes. Or maybe the eyes steal from the mind. Interesting. You know? Do you think that the eyes are providing the vision or the mind is providing the vision? All we know is that theft is occurring. Something is being stolen from someone. But who is the traditional owner of the visual cortex is what you're asking.

Exactly. But if it's the visual cortex, then I think it's very clear that it's the brain. Case closed. Yeah. Unless you're saying the visual cortex is in the eyes. Case closed. All right. So we have listeners.

And today's listener is a little someone you may know, known as Ellie Durkin. Ellie, hello. Hello, Ellie. Ellie, obviously a brilliant illustrator and designer. And we'd encourage everybody to look up Pickle Durkin. Pickle Durkin. On Instagram. Yeah, on Instagram. illustrator and designer and we'd encourage everybody to look up pickle durkin pickle durkin on instagram yeah on instagram and uh go in and and go through the the stuff that she sells that she's got she's got a little comic store got an online store i bought some little badges for my children and and there's one i love them and there's one of the best uh little bits like of

you know like what's what's the what do you call a little design that you could use for like a you know for material or for like a poster or for like a screen printing type screen printing where it's where it's uh this character who's whose name i've forgotten in but but in the classic ellie durkin style the classic pickle durkin style sure uh where they're sitting near each other and one's hand is sitting, resting atop of the head of the other and then it's kind of a pattern, you know, almost like one of those old school kind of like, you know, like middle-ish patterns. Yeah, but they all just have their

hand resting atop of the head of the other. That's beautiful. And it's one of the most beautiful patterns I've ever seen. It is a bit Escher as well, but it's also funny to see a person with their hand resting atop the head of somebody else. You and me, Andy, I think in the future we'll try to rest our hands on each other's. Yeah, let's create that.

Yeah. Do you think two people could rest both their hands on the other person's head and it look natural? I think we could. Maybe we'll do that for our next poster. We'll see if we can borrow the concept from Ellie. Yeah, we'll ask her. Yeah. Obviously.

And then we'll make a computer generated thing where it's a repeating pattern of us resting our hands on our heads. It sounds like we're going to have to buy this directly from Ellie. Yeah. But also, I think the character's bald, and so I think if we both shave our heads and maybe swell up our hands, maybe we could go flying or whatever and get a lot of fluid retention in our hands sure sure i think that would make it extra funny right um all right so you want to try to guess what ellie's words are um um let's see uh calistomum calistomum you know what you're not close no but you're close in that it's a very unusual word.

Okay. Anaglypta. Anaglypta. Yeah. Okay. That's crazy because that was going to be my next guess. Yeah. Anaglypta.

Yeah. Okay. The next word is bath. Wait, wait, wait. Do you already know what anaglypta is? No, of course not. Well, you want to know? No.

Why not? Well, okay. Is it glypt? Let's see. Glyph? Anaglypt? It is a type of plant. Is it a type of plant?

No, it's a range of paintable textured wall coverings made from paper or vinyl. And it is produced on traditional paper and paste the wall substrates. And it's usually colorlessless but you can paint it you know so it's like this basically like it's a it's an embossed kind of paper that you can give you it's not your own color too if you want to like as in your color my color like whatever you're like that um you'd use the little anyway okay then you want to get the next... Yeah, bath. Bath? No.

The next one is... Bath. How is that spelled? Just so I know. Bath. Yeah? Bath. Yeah. Bath.

So like B-A-R-F? Yeah, that's right. Bath. No, it's anaglyph. Anaglypter, anaglyph, anaglyph. Okay, so this is it now. We're in the hieroglyph territory. This is going to be a type of pictorial representation of something.

Anaglyph, anagram. So it's rearranging. Is it like an anagram but with pictures? Well, a little bit it's a method uh like uh it's like a method of encoding a three-dimensional image into a single picture by superimposing a pair of pictures like so i think possibly those 3d things that you look at with 3d glasses is a way of like superimposing two images on by you know creating a filter in each eye and things like that so that would be an anaglyph so now would you like to try to guess anapurna

it's anapurna anapurna anapurna the mountain range in india you are correct really well ellie gave me two words and she said whatever and he says the third one is correct. So, both fucking with you. Yes. So, we got anaglyph and anaperna. Anaperna, anaglyph. I mean, there's so many things that spring to mind immediately, aren't there? As a sketch idea?

Yeah, as a sketch idea. And a lot of them, though, I think are probably a bit mainstream and a bit too obvious sure sure well so i'm gonna not even bother mentioning those ones straight away but there's you know there's the possibility like i mean there's one of these things where i guess you can filter out you know there's filter out for each eye to have two different experiences with the eye which which kind of mold together to create one third, you know, a third experience that is a combination of the two, as with the 3D glasses thing. Sure.

So that's with the anaglyph. But imagine that if you could do that with filtering out, you know, maybe half of your brain hemispheres for hiking experiences you know so that half half of the half of the brain has one hiking experience okay and then half of the other half of the brain has a different experience these mountains that you're talking about a superposition of the two yeah right um by creating a 3d experience in your mind it would would have to be some kind of suit that you wear that, you know, like the left eye goes to the right side of the brain or whatever.

And I assume all the left side of the skin goes to the right side of the brain. Sure, why not? So the suit splits your whole body into two. And also the path is like one of these paths that's like right on the equator or something like that. Or like maybe the Tropic of Arctic or whatever. The Tropic of the Arctic. And so then on one side you got this cold weather thing. And on the other side you got this weird desert, high humidity kind of conditions you know humid desert and and

your left eye can't get a glimpse of any of that stuff even sort of looking around the corner of your nose well it's the first hike that's actually on a track but not like a track like a you know a walking track it's like it's like a like a train track but for like, everything is aligned. You realize that like if you close your left eye, you can still see some things that are to the left of you. Well, the suit prevents that. Oh, good. Have you thought about there could just be a flap in between the two? There's a big flap. Yeah.

Like that. Coming out from the middle of your nose. Yeah. It's probably more like a tube that just forces you to look like that. A tube. your nose yeah it's probably just like it's probably more like a tube that just you know forces you to look like that a tube you know a tube so it's like you know like kind of like the opposite of one of those eye covers for the horses you know they kind of cover the basically all the periphery well this one gets rid of all periphery. Right, yeah. So, I mean, it's a tube. Yeah. You know. Yeah, I get it.

You only get to see straight forward. I mean, I hate to suggest this, but it sounds like it's something that could be done very effectively with virtual reality goggles. Yeah, I know, but we're building a mountain. We're doing it on that Arctic Tropic. Yeah, the Arctic Tropic. Yeah. The Tropic of Arctic. Sorry, sorry.

Okay. I don't know the terminology in the same way that you do. Sorry, I was half laughing at what had just happened and then the other half laughing still at the idea of looking up recipes for cooking rice and trying to find the most recent one. Sorting. What are the recipes for rice that have caught up in the last 24 hours?

Five milligrams of salt. Here we go. Oh, that's new. Yeah. All right. Do you think that's enough of a sketch idea or do you think we need something better oh i mean it's not it's not making me laugh yeah straight away i mean maybe if we put it in a context but also it's it's conceptually it's very difficult to get your head around what this three-dimensional experience you would get from two radically different things

that you're feeding into the two halves of your brain. Sure. But, I mean, you know, desert and sand. I mean, sorry, desert, sand, and snowy, you know, alpine kind of thing. Sure. I mean, imagine, whatever, like, forget it. I can't, yeah. I mean, what it would be useful for, I imagine,

is if you feel like you're about to have a nervous breakdown and one of the things that's causing you this stress is the anticipation and you wish you could just get it over and done with, I feel like this is the sort of thing that could just bring on the nervous breakdown, get it done, and then you can move on with your life. Like, I will probably have a nervous breakdown in the next five years. Yeah.

And I think it would be great if I could just do it now, maybe while I'm not too busy. Yeah. Right? Sort of in between jobs. In between jobs. Yeah. It'd be great.

Go somewhere, have your nervous breakdown. I mean, a midlife crisis. I don't have time. You know, I- Just have a mini- Oh, when, when. Like, that's very broad. You'd like to microdose it.

I'd like to- Well, no, I'd like to book it in. I'd like to get it, smash it out in the course of a week and a half. Well. Maybe in some sort of accelerated summer course, summer crisis. I'm having a summer crisis. Yeah, so kind of like the opposite of doing a summer course. That's what you just said.

No way that's what I said. Andy, sometimes when I'm listening to you and I'm thinking I'm having thoughts, right? You know this. And I'm not even thinking I'm having thoughts. I think you're probably going, this is your thought, Alistair. And then I'm going, ah, yes. I'm having a thought. This is what it feels like to have a thought.

Maybe I should just get my brain to start telling me that you are currently having a thought while I'm having a thought this is what it feels like to have a thought maybe i should just get my brain to start telling me that you are how you are currently having a thought while i'm having a thought if that would be helpful actually um yeah well encode that data i can't 100 remember what you were just saying but neither but you know how like there's kind of work from home stuff that we do now? And so you do everything from home. And so sometimes going out has become harder. So if there's maybe just a filter that you could put on over your eyes so that when you're out in the world,

just the filter makes it look like you're actually experiencing your life just on a TV screen. Oh, that would be good. And in your hand, you've got like two Wii controllers. And it looks like you're just kind of... Yeah, that's really good. Like this? I mean, you could do this with a... Like you build a box that does come out from your eyes, right?

And then around the inside of the box, you actually like... You have, like in a diorama, like a little version of a pot plant, okay, a tiny little standing lamp there in the corner, maybe a tiny little robotic cat waving its tail on an ottoman, right? And that's your living room. And then the world looks like it's on a TV screen. And as you say, you've got a couple of Wii controllers and you're like, oh, I'm going to go over there now.

And you press a button on the Wii controller and suddenly you're walking over there. And you're going, one muffin, please. I think that's a really funny idea. Yeah? Yeah, I like it so much. In fact, Alistair. It's turning life into a first person,

not shoot them up, but let's say chat them up. Live them up. Live them up. There you go. Live them up. Yeah. I mean, yeah, it's kind of the home from work scenario. So, like, you know could you're you're essentially

always carrying around a little bit of home it's like a caravan for your face you know like because normally if you go camping or whatever you bring a caravan yeah you know like you bring a caravan camping or whatever it's like you're bringing most of your home with you okay right and so this one is you're bringing most of your home all the comforts of home yeah just on your face in this little box that you put around your vision it's a really good idea i mean there's just like home goggles i mean i you know when i'm working on my ipad or laptop or whatever that computer screen is quite close to my face and if that was just instead just a hole in the box and you know i could go and talk to people and it'd be like i was on zoom yeah and then you could just and then so you just press zoom and then the box kind of

close you press the end close the box just closes like that and then you just kind of close the lid a little flap comes down well you press you know you think you're doing what you think is pressing end conversation but the box the box flaps just kind of close. Maybe you just pull on some strings like that, and then you kind of walk around. Unable to see where you're going, I stumble into the middle of traffic. I like that. You may walk into a wall or something like that.

It's pretty exciting the way that you live your life now. That's great. That's a really good interpretation of those three words, I think. Yeah. Especially the, what was your bit the anna sarah and anna yeah and a burner now i mean i do also like the idea of a lamp that you can take with you oh the mobile lamp i mean a cellular lamp probably what lamps probably were just those fucking lanterns and shit that people used to carry around. Sure, but bring that back. Bring that back.

Sure. Bring that back. Bring that back. That's a bric-a-brac. Guy's trying to bring bric-a-brac back. I'm bringing bric-a-brac back. Bring back bric-rack Bring it back Bring it back

Bring me Bring me Should we Look who's Bringing back Brickabrack Who's bringing back Brickabrack Brickabrack Alright Alistair we've got

I think we've reached the end of the road. I think the audience can tell that we're in the same room for the first time in ages. I think they might be able to detect that we are in the same proximity, and it's got a bit silly. Just before everyone tunes out, I'm going to say, can you please buy a copy of Gustav and Henry for the young person in your life? But also for the old person in your life. Exactly.

They're on the same level. What about the middle-aged people? There's a lot of them, Andy. You should be targeting that. If you target the next one, make it darker and grittier for the sort of middle-aged market. Like that, you know?

Yeah, but no. As I've discovered, though, and I might have mentioned this on the most recent podcast, I can't handle gritty stuff anymore. I know, but make it gritty in a different way. Make it gritty in a different way. The way that doesn't make you upset.

You know, gritty doesn't always mean bad things happen to people. It could just be dirty. That's true. You know, it could just be very unpleasant to look at. Can I recommend a podcast I've been listening to? Yeah. Dear Joan and Jerrica. pleasant to look at. Can I recommend a podcast I've been listening to?

Yeah. Dear Joan and Jerrica. Other people might already be listening to it, but it's just the most fucked up advice podcast to British comedians. Oh, cool. Are they... One of them is Julie Davis.

That's not their real names, Joan and Jerrica. Okay. But they're very... I'll check it out. Very filthy and very funny. Yeah, do a they do like a sort of uh yeah that's funny i love that they do that yeah i realize it's too complicated to explain they here's today's sketch ideas yes the feel good variant this is a new it's a new disease that makes you feel good and we're trying to get it to take over the other recommending everybody goes and gets it.

Yeah, but also just like you get a day off from work, maybe more, and you get home and you're just feeling so good. It's like it makes you want to drink water. I want to know why you have to get a day off from work. Because you've got a disease. You want to drink water. These are Alistair's dreams. One of them is to be able to drink as much water

as he's recommended to drink well the other day i was having nightmares that literally like like a bad dream whilst i was being woken up by hux who was constantly waking up because of his hand foot and mouth disease not the just foot and mouth that's the cow one all right uh just the hand foot and mouth where you get blisters on your tongue um but i kept having the waking up being like i gotta get some lip balm because i'm gonna get a split lip and they're gonna be like oh you can't get ads if you've got a split lip that oh i'm sorry we gave the role to somebody who didn't have a split lip i mean you already have you have some hang-ups around your lips and the dryness and that sort of thing, don't you? It's all tied into the inability to be hydrated, Andy. I can't keep liquid in my body.

Although I did see a guy talking about cutting weight the other day for like bodybuilding and for fights. Maybe I'm going to do that. I've got to do something. My body's getting very lumpy. You could just cut weight. I'm going to cut weight. Yeah, you're going to do that. I've got to do something. My body's getting very lumpy. Well, you could just cut weight. I'm going to cut weight. Yeah, you're going to cut weight. You just lose all that liquid and you lose like, you know, you can lose 20 pounds in a weight cut.

That's exciting. And then you just put it straight back on and it'll do right well when you hydrate. But he said that he's like, you could buy all these like things for pulling water out of you. But actually the best thing is just caffeine. Nothing dehydrates you more than caffeine. And then my attempt to never drink any liquid and only drink caffeine seems to be somehow causing liquid to stay out of my body.

Anyway, other sketch ideas, good ones. William the Conqueror who turns things into conkers. Here we go. And then we got cooling, a cooking show versus imps. You know what that means. It's like every time you're trying to cook something, there's big challenges ahead. Things are being stolen.

You know, boulders are falling in the way. I don't think there's ever been a higher ratio between the amount of fun that we're having on the podcast and how shit the sketch ideas are. Sounds. Sounds. Then we got vegetarian hunting. This is you're adding these kind of, you know, I mean, already vegetarian hunting. That gives you, it's a very, that can almost already be, you know, a cinematic universe.

Sure. You know, but, you know, that's what you've got to come up with these days, a cinematic universe sure you know but um you know what that's what you got to come up with these days a cinematic universe oh it's not enough to come up with a film a film or a sketch you know we're these these are basically this is old-timey ideas it's like somebody coming up with ideas for poems all right yeah sure all right well i can't wait to hear that in 17 000 years ago daffodil, you reckon. Okay. Then we got the hunting pillow for smothering the beasts. Very fun.

The self-driving gurneys for near dead to be hunted by billionaires. Yeah. And then we've got- Come up with a lot of hunting by billionaires ideas. Yeah. Well, it's a good motif then we got turning life into first person live them up slash caravan for your face you know in order to make you know being out in the real world more tolerable i had a nightmare the other day which was um that somebody was murdering people for like an art project yeah right and everyone's like oh yeah they're murdering people for like an art project. Yeah. Right. And everyone's like, oh, yeah,

they're murdering like three people a day for an art project and they need people to sign up. And I'd somehow signed up for this because I was like, oh, okay. Yeah, I think that would be nice. I should support the arts. And then like the day was coming up. Exactly. But the day was coming up and I was like,

I really don't want to get murdered. Can I take my name off the list? And I guess are you allowed to fight back or do you have to let them murder you? Yeah, I don't think so. No, I think I was just going to go and get murdered. Is it murder though if you just let them? It's true.

There's no pushback. Yeah. Oh, yes. Yes. Stick it in my heart. Like that, I don't know how you would try to enjoy a murder anyway thank you for
