Starting point is 00:00:30 today's episode of two in the think tank is is brought to you by two things firstly the stupid old podcast festival on the 9th of October Australia-eisted standard time but you'll be having an Australian Eastern good time listening to 10 hours of live streamed podcast content. Some of your favorite podcasts will be there. Do go on to in the think tank, confession of the idiots, do it? These are only just some of the very good podcasts you will be able to not only listen to, but also enjoy with your eyes. But if you can't wait that long to have a thing, some kind of thing, then you can also, as of today, when we're
Starting point is 00:01:28 recording this, buy in the United States of America Gustav and Henry Volume 1, space-time cake. You're kidding. Yeah, it's out in a hard cover. It's out in a hard cover in America for the same price as a soft cover here in Australia. Because if America's cheaper wood, cheaper and harder wood. Yeah, that's right. That's right. It's harder to come by as in when you come by it.
Starting point is 00:01:57 It's harder. It's harder. It's harder to come by and that's very easy. I haven't added a single thing to what you said. I've taken away. But there are links to both those good times down below in the show notes of this show to in the thick tank. Here we go tremendous D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D Probably virtual. Andy. And you know what, Alistair?
Starting point is 00:02:47 I'm just happy that you and I have a context and a format and an opportunity where we can spend some of our time talking about sketch comedies. Which, this is, I mean, Andy, this is rare. I know it seems like we're doing it a lot right now, because we currently have two jobs where we're writing sketches. And we're doing it five days a week. But this is still a rare occurrence
Starting point is 00:03:14 in the grand scheme of things. You're absolutely right. Because most of the time- This is a precious moment. That's right, we've got to remember that this tiredness is a precious moment. That's right. We've got to remember that this tiredness is a privilege. This worn out feeling that you're already getting only a few weeks into having these two jobs. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:35 Although one of them really, it's been nine years that we've had it. But this is what we've been working towards this entire time, this deep feeling of exhaustion. And also boredom with ourselves. Don't worry, yeah. I feel that even when we're not working together. Oh, wow, even even there, eh? No, look, you're, you know, this, this, this exhaustion, I mean, that is in a way, you know, you could maybe think of every day that you live as a level of a game and, you know, the, the, the sleep at the end is a, it's a sort of a glowing portal through which you travel into a series of cutscenes, your dreams, which take you to the next level of the game.
Starting point is 00:04:29 And you play it in real time, 24 hours in a standard day. And at the end, you respawn, but only in a very, very indirect and complicated slow process whereby your atoms go back into the earth and one day become bits of Einstein's brain. Wait, was that about dying or about sleeping? Well, it started off being about sleeping. And then at the end of the game, you die and you die. Oh, you die. Okay, okay.
Starting point is 00:05:04 Yeah. I apologize. It's all right. I mean, there was a lot there and I wouldn't expect you to wade through it. I started to think about something else, I think. Yeah, it was a good. Tell me. No, it wasn't good.
Starting point is 00:05:17 I think I started thinking about work. I started thinking about rotting sketches. Oh, that's good too. But what do you think of our dreams as being cutscenes? Or is there a way that we could have cutscenes in our lives? Because I actually always, they were always my favorite bits of the games that I used to play. Really? I hated that I couldn't wait to skip them. I love cutscenes. I love a bit of exposition. I mean, in my dream, the game would be out. It's also your favorite bit of rap albums,
Starting point is 00:06:06 all the sketches that they did. Yeah, yeah, it probably is actually. But I mean, is there anything in that guy who's only seen video games and who would love movies? It's like they took the, I mean, this would be a situation where video games were invented before movies and were the dominant art form. And what we do is we take a video game world, we flip everything around where movies are the new industry. Yeah, I think what you've discovered, Andy, is the Billy Connelly story, but instead of him playing music, he makes video games.
Starting point is 00:06:50 Right, and in between, in between gameplay, he just tells little stories, which is where he puts little cutscenes. Yeah, yeah. And slowly but surely he starts realizing that he doesn't need any of the video game aspects People are just coming to see him for the cutscenes this video game this Billy Connelly metaphor is Fantastic and it's exactly what this conversation needed On Billy Connelly I say that that should be the phrase that they use for when a tech company does a pivot. It's like our Instagram was originally some fucking shit for a thing that allowed people to rate car washers or something.
Starting point is 00:07:45 I don't know whatever it was. But then people just, you know, in the bit where you would upload the photo of the car wash with your rating, everyone started loving that so much and putting so many other photos in that car rate at car wash rating bit that they pivoted to only doing the uploading photos. They started belly-connollying. They were getting so many laughs off of their regular photos of car washes.
Starting point is 00:08:13 All right. Well, please write down Billy Connelly as a sketch idea. Alistair video games video. Well, I don't even know if you video games element. I'm Billy Connell. I'm Billy Connell, I'm Billy Connellying this entire sketch because it was originally about movies and cutscenes and video games,
Starting point is 00:08:32 but I liked the Billy Connelly metaphor so much and it was making me laugh so much more than the other things. I know. Well, I've kept the other video game cutscenes there just as an example so that also it can trigger a memory. Great, really good. I also think that I'm Billy Connolly-ing would be a great thing to shout out during sex now. I don't know which bit of the sex it
Starting point is 00:09:01 would be the best to shout that out. Is that what you yell at when you, when you, when you realize you're going into a bit completely unprepared, but you're doing really well. Oh, that's good. I had no idea what I was going to do. Isn't that thing he always claims? I walk out there. I don't know what I'm going to say. I don't know what I'm going to. I Don't know what I'm gonna say and I just start saying things. Yeah, I mean that's been a lot more
Starting point is 00:09:29 believable since he got that degenerative brain condition. Sure. Yeah, of course Yeah But hang on hang on there are no sexual maneuvers. There's no nobody shouts into the genitals, do they? I feel like that should be a thing a on. There are no sexual maneuvers. There's no nobody's shouts into their genitals, do they? I feel like that should be a thing. A yell job. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it does feel certain frequencies. You could probably get the flesh to vibrate. Sure, absolutely. But I imagine it's quite aggressive shouting. I think it would probably have to be, you'd have to shout at a very low frequency
Starting point is 00:10:10 and it would be actually be called subwoofering. Subwoofering. That's really good. But I, you know, I mean, I think that maybe this is something that could be a new trend in Christian teens. And they say, I'm actually in there, and they give an example, right? And so it's a guy who's teaching a class on me. He's like, now many of you will have heard of this new trend in teens.
Starting point is 00:10:35 Well, I like them, I'm able to make a person orgasm without even touching them. And then they walk over to somebody who's laying there closed just to give the demonstration. And then they stand with their face above the crotch and they go, yeah, yeah, great. I mean, I think, I think, you know, yelling specific things, there's something, it feels like a missed opportunity to have them not shouting stuff. I mean, the fact that maybe it doesn't matter what you're actually saying, it gives you some, you know, it's hard to think of things to say.
Starting point is 00:11:17 So, you know, you could just be reading the bus timetable or something like that. Yeah, reading the back of a shampoo bottle. Exactly. I mean, whatever you've got at hand, you could actually be running, you know, you could be studying at the same time. Sure, you'd be crazy not to. You know, exactly. Imagine if we found out that was a way you could learn, because there's so many nerve endings on the genitals. Yeah. You can actually take in information much more quickly and learn. It was actually one of the more memorable orgasms I ever had.
Starting point is 00:11:56 Not the orgasm, not that I remember the orgasm, but I remembered a lot of the content that was being... A lot of the facts. Yeah. I was actually, it's a great way to cram, not before an exam. Yeah. That's exactly- Are you believe in Lee Connolly
Starting point is 00:12:12 and this idea, Lister? Are we taking it from being a sex act into a big and educational technique? Well, I found that I was learning so much more during the shouting part of the sex that I was enjoying myself in any of the other bits. And so now I just do that, I just use it as a memorization technique. How have we gone all this time without the term Billy Connolly? Billy Connolly?
Starting point is 00:12:48 It's come up twice in a row. I mean, it might even be the third time it's come up. I think there's a chance. Oh yeah, because I Billy Connolly does on Billy Connolly. Yeah. I mean, maybe that is actually just the nature of this podcast in which we start talking about something and then enjoy one of the details of it more than whatever it was we started talking about.
Starting point is 00:13:15 I agree. This probably isn't a representative sample of the frequency of Billy Connelly in the general public. Andy, it's like oil, right? It's like when they discovered oil and that you could use it, they started finding it everywhere, right? Because suddenly they, now that they're looking for it, they go, oh, that's what that muck was that I stepped in three weeks ago, right?
Starting point is 00:13:38 And then they realized that actually the world is covered in oil. And this muck. And this muck, this greasy muck. I mean, it's a crazy, it's an absolutely crazy outcome that the way the earth operates has made out of organic matter at this, this, this, these reservoirs of energy that you can just tap into and use in all these fucking useful ways. It's basically, it's all still just burning wood basically, right?
Starting point is 00:14:21 It's just a, it's just the millions and millions of trees from the billions of years that have gone by that are all saved up and we're just using them all up in a hundred years or so. Yeah. And then we can figure it out after that. We'll figure it out. We'll figure it out. and then we can figure it out after that. We'll figure it out. We'll figure it out. And we're gonna get aggressive towards people who say we should start thinking about it now,
Starting point is 00:14:52 try to figure it out before it's too late. Now that it's already everything, I'll do it when it's too late, thank you. I mean, even me who leaves things to the last minute is really starting to get concerned at this point. When the procrastinators are starting to worry, when you've lost the procrastinators, what about this?
Starting point is 00:15:18 It's a show, TV show, on in the evenings, right, late in the evening. It's called the Too Late Show, right? And the concept of the Too Late Show is that you only start getting ready for it. You know, I guess five minutes before it goes to air. Try to start trying to book guests and that sort of thing. See who you can get. I mean this is basically what we used to do when we did breakfast TV, LSD or UNI. I imagine. Show up about 15 minutes before this community television doing a breakfast television show. In many ways it's a form of Billy Connolly where you go, oh I don't even know what I'm gonna talk about Hello, I'm Billy Connolly from England No, I'm gonna talk about that's a different
Starting point is 00:16:11 Hello, that's true another part of the Feels like your Billy Connolly and Billy Connolly. I am attempting to I am attempting to yeah It's amazing how how useful that term is Yeah, it's so useful that it's starting to lose some of its meaning. Yeah, but then it's got some of the guy new Taking away so it's the two late show Yeah, look I mean I'm not convinced it's a good idea. Is it spelt the number two then late? Do you want it to be? I mean, it could start at 2 a.m.
Starting point is 00:16:52 I suppose. I just thought it could be because it's two people who run it. Okay. But then do you think that after a little while, there's a lot of people who just want to get on TV, who will just hang out around the studio and around that time. Yeah. Realizing that the ecosystem needs content. Yeah. It will essentially just become an open mic. Yeah, I think that'll that'll probably
Starting point is 00:17:21 happen. And whoever's closest to the door, basically they will jostle all the, all the extremely borderline celebrities will jostle around the stage door. Because you think I'm sorry, yeah, hit me. Do you think that there, you know, there could be a format for a TV that is just an open mic? I mean, it would be interesting. Nobody's tried it really. Have they because even with things like, you know, red faces or whatever, where you had a talent, you still had to be booked in some way. You still have to.
Starting point is 00:17:58 I really like the idea of open mic TV. You sign up, you go to the studio and you sign up on the night, right? And then they program you in. And I guess they pick the pick names out of a hat. The problem is that if there's any kind of, you know, choice, yeah, quality control, then it becomes, well, you're just trying to make a good show. It's not a true open mic. Are you working way too hard for way too little? There's never been a better time to consider a career in IT. You could enjoy a recession-resistant career and a rewarding field
Starting point is 00:18:37 with plenty of growth opportunities and often flexible work environments. Go to mycomputercareer.edu and take the free career evaluation. You could start your new career in months, not years. Take classes online or on campus, and financial aid is available to qualified students, including the GI Bill. Now is the time. Mycomputercareer.edu Yeah, but I think that is what I would find compelling about it. The fact that you're not yeah that that it is a true open mic right that you're obviously not
Starting point is 00:19:10 Filter in any way. I mean to be cheap to make. Yeah, you know, I think I think that I mean, you know, you just leave the cameras on. No, you don't even stay there. That's the produce. Wow. I mean, I think it would be good if the ABC, maybe one of their channels, like ABC2, right? Yeah. If just from midnight to 6am, they just left the studio unlocked and you could just go in there and do whatever you want. Oh, yes, so it's not even like you don't even give people an
Starting point is 00:19:46 allocated amount of time or anything. Well, how about sort of that themselves? You know, it would be a very good experiment. Yeah, yeah, whether or not they're able to establish some kind of order, maybe someone would rise to the top, some dominant figure. A self appointed producer would emerge I suppose that we need there would there would probably need to be rules or else You know just like white nationalists would end up sort of taking it over or whatever
Starting point is 00:20:17 Although I guess a lot of those guys don't listen to the ABC. They think it's too left-leaning, but then it could offer some balance Yeah, but then they wouldn't be able to complain. Yeah, and then they wouldn't have anything to talk about on their other shows, on all their other shows and TV channels and that sort of thing. Yeah, they could be like, oh, it's actually quite good. The ABC is giving us a platform. Then they might be so happy that they might actually
Starting point is 00:20:44 start learning how to accept others. People who are different from them, maybe in a sort of genetic sense. Yeah, yeah, we can only hope. My mind has just gone completely blank. I think it's shut down. It's a tile.
Starting point is 00:21:06 I often have that, I often have that. I don't think I'm going to be able to say anything else for the rest of the episode. It's all just fallen away. So I'd be good on this open mic TV thing. Open camera. Yeah, that's what you call it, right? Open cam. Oh, no, I still call it mic because I think people need that brand recognition. Sure.
Starting point is 00:21:30 And I suppose you are still technically using mics. Yeah, you have to. Open channel. A lot of the time, it's, you know, when you, if you do an open mic at a pub or something like that, it's the open eyes and ears of the people who are watching that really allows the information to get in. That would be a good idea. It's an open, it's called an open ear, right?
Starting point is 00:21:55 Yeah. It's an opening ear and it's just a guy. Poked through a glory hole. You're a guy listening into a glory hole and and you can whisper anything you want to into his ear. You know, there's a line up obviously. I like to think that the ear is poking through the other side. The ears poking all the way through. Okay. Yeah. It's a thin wall, but you poke your ear through, you fold it up and you sort of pop it through the hole. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:26 Right? And he's there. This guy is there for two hours every Thursday night at the open ear. Yeah, he could pull it. It can be in a toilet cubicle if need be. I mean, this is kind of what we've invented basically is confessions. Confession, the confessional, right?
Starting point is 00:22:46 Yeah, the prece, the Catholic confession is an opening year. Unless you have to sign up or you have to be booked, I guess you don't have to be booked for a confessional. You can't just go there. I don't know what it's like these days. And go in whenever you want. Yeah. Because it's like the priest must just do out a few hours or whatever, right?
Starting point is 00:23:09 Priest must just have opening and closing your room. Is there an MC to warm up the warm up the priest and keep him keep his energy up if he's there for a couple of hours listening to all these people? Like an ear fluffer. Yeah. your fluffer. Yeah. Keeps his interest peaked. What was a really interesting confessions of some of his, yeah, he's reliable confession. Well, maybe he like relicons to some of his old favorites. Assuming he records them all. Yeah, I mean, that breaks our concept a little bit there. I think it needs to be an MC of sorts. So in the in the in the open year. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:23:58 As is for the open year. Oh, well, this is for the this is for the priest, I guess. I've sort of switched tracks. Is he sort of what have you done, Eddie? Well, what would you say that you've done? I've pillied Connolly, the idea. Yeah, but I mean, I don't understand how. I don't understand how.
Starting point is 00:24:20 I don't understand how. I don't understand how. I don't understand how. I don't understand how. I don't understand how. I don't understand how. I don't understand how. I don't understand enjoying. But what bit, how is it more enjoyable when it's a priest? I can't tell you why it's more enjoyable when it's a priest. Maybe it's the forbidden feeling of doing something wrong, you know, they're so they're not supposed to look. I was just thinking, I was just thinking about a different idea now, Alistair, where the
Starting point is 00:24:46 priest needs to be kept warmed up by an MC who comes in between the people's confessions. That's all I'm saying. Yeah, so they get it, they get an MC, but you're still kind of running with the opening or idea, I guess, in a way. I am, but look, I'd be happy for you to just write down open ear as the idea Yeah, and you know the the priest thing can be my My you know my own personal thing for me to enjoy That's true. Yeah, I mean that's nice that we all have our own interpretation that we can get the most out of
Starting point is 00:25:21 For me, I like it when it's in a dirty public toilet Yeah, I know like when it's in a dirty public toilet. Yeah, I know. Like that. You go in there and you know, it's like you're drunk or whatever and you go, I've got to get some stuff off my chest and, you know, just try out some sentences. What about this? A website called Confession Rule Let, right? Okay. And it's just a whole lot of priests, right? You press a button and it brings you a random priest from somewhere in the world. And...
Starting point is 00:25:52 Well, it's... Yeah. You confess to him and sometimes he's just showing you his penis, but that's the risk you take with priests. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Of course, yeah. I thought maybe it was like, it's a roulette, but for each word, right?
Starting point is 00:26:14 And it builds up a confession that once you're done, just gets sent to the police. Oh, man. Okay. sent to the police from you. Okay, so your, your conf, so is roulette, sort of like Russian roulette. Is that what you're saying? It's like Russian roulette, yeah. Okay, that's a great idea.
Starting point is 00:26:35 Yeah, but so maybe you go in, you go into the booth and one in every six times with your confession, there's a priest in there, right? Sorry, there's a police officer in there. The rest of the time it's a priest. One in every six it's a police officer, just at, and just in, you know, so whatever you're telling him, there's a chance you are incriminating yourself in. I'm assuming everybody's a murderer in this scenario. Everybody in the world is a murderer, but they have one in six chance of confessing their crimes to a police officer. It's a new system. The government has to bring in in order to just to try to catch
Starting point is 00:27:19 a few extra criminals. They're trying to get a, you know, a zero tolerance policy to crime, which, you know, I'm surprised they didn't bring it in. I'm surprised they tolerate crime. Yeah, yeah, me too. Shocked. But in my version, I would also like all of the priests and the one police officer to be locked into a big kind of rotating chamber, basically like a, like a huge, various wheel type thing, that whips them around before screeching one of them to a stop next to the confessional window, or whatever they call that little wicker wall thing
Starting point is 00:28:00 that goes in between them. Wicker wall. A little wicker wall. Wicker wall. A little Wicker wall. Wicker wall wall. Wicker wall wall. Wicker wall wall. Wicker wicker wall wall. Wicker wall wall.
Starting point is 00:28:17 Wall wall west. What did, what does, here's a great joke for you. What does, what does Will is a great joke for you what does what does will Smith Call that Wicker wall That goes between him and the priest in a confession booth The wicker wicker wall wall Write it down write it down which was just the wicker wall
Starting point is 00:28:44 Wicker wall w the wicker wall pick a wall wicker wicker wall wall okay you know wicker wicker wall wall wall then dash will Smith great oh it's probably one of our best sketch ideas ever, I think. Yeah. I love sketch ideas. I love ideas for sketches, which is what that is. That is right there. Well, technically, Andy technically we have five ideas. And I, you know, I love technicalities. I'm nothing if not technical. Do you think that there's a chance that that means that you're nothing?
Starting point is 00:29:29 No, no. I mean, I imagine if we find one example of you not being technical, that means that you are nothing. Yes, nothing. Nothing. You got me on a real technicality Yeah, nothing. Nothing. You got me on a real technicality there, which I love. Andy, that brings us then to three words from a listener.
Starting point is 00:29:56 I don't know if you know this, but we have listeners. Yeah, okay. And some of them can send us in three words from a listener go on usually usually then after supporting us on the three dollar tier on Patreon And today the King's the year the King's the year opening yeah Of course if you donate more you still we do still allow you to do to Send in three words. But today's
Starting point is 00:30:27 listener Andy is the one and very own epititis. Epititis. Yes, epititis. Wow. I wonder if epititis is an ancient Greek. Well my suspicion has always been that epititis was an ancient Greek man. But I don't want to you know that could just be showing the limitations of my understanding of ancient Greeks. Is epititis just hepatitis but without the H? Spell differently. Okay sure. But if you did put an H at the beginning of Aptitis's name, it would be hepatitis. Sure. That's all I needed to know. Now, I suppose you're going to tell me now I've got a guess these three words. That is absolutely correct Andy. Very good guess. Okay, here's the first word. Okay?
Starting point is 00:31:25 The first word is grist, as it grist for the mill. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. The first word is extra. Okay, the second word is large. Extra large. There's a few, quite a few letters that are the same. Singular. Extra, singular.
Starting point is 00:31:54 Singular, singular. Singular. Singular. Now, I mean, this is interesting. The idea of something being extra singular. Singularity is, again, an E, this is interesting. You know, the idea of something being extra singular. You know, singularity is again an EBS absolute as parents are so fond of telling us about certain words. That's an absolute, you can't have more or less, something can't be almost perfect.
Starting point is 00:32:18 So EBS singular. Is it good? Robin Hood? All one word? Ooh. No. Oh, damn. Combine or combine? Extra, singular, combine. Do you think of it as combine or combine? Combine. Well, if it's a combine
Starting point is 00:32:48 harvester, I think of it as combine. Yeah. Sometimes I think it's the other one as well. But what does the combine harvester? What does combine mean in that sense? I think it combines a bunch of different parts of the harvesting experience. So it's a combined, it's a combined harvester. Yeah, that sounds really weird. That sounds fucked up. That would get kicked off the farm. You'd be chased out of town, I think, if you came in, talk about combined harvesters. Yeah, okay. Well then, but then how would they treat you on the farm if you were in, talk about combined harvesters. Yeah, okay. Well then, but then how would they treat you on the farm if you were starting to talk about
Starting point is 00:33:31 combining extra singular things? Extra singular. I feel like it's a rift on a no inression, but I don't know what that could be. Yeah. It gives me that vibe, but maybe a song by a hip-hop artist that you don't know. Sure. Maybe somebody on death row records. Singular. Come on. I mean, you know, is it something where people who don't have a relationship, right? People who haven't been able to, for whatever reason, maybe they don't want to, maybe they're
Starting point is 00:34:22 desperately unappealing, they haven't been able to find someone in their lives. Okay? And what we do is we sort of, they can sign up for some sort of program, where basically their body gets chopped up. And then, and then recombined, right? Into new, whole people. Soined, right, into new whole people.
Starting point is 00:34:47 So like, maybe it's your particular, so they, where do they chop up all of the single people and put them back together? Yeah. So that they can be individuals, while also being partnered up. Well, I mean, that, I guess that's part of it, but also the fact is that like it's your combination of attributes that make you who you are, right? And maybe you've got a bad combination of attributes, and if you could get a few bits from somebody else, maybe that would tick you over into desirability, where, meanwhile,
Starting point is 00:35:22 the things that you're getting rid of might actually perfectly complement the attributes of yet another person. So we sort of randomly recombine like in a kind of a Frankenstein type scenario, right? Island of Dock, Dock, and Maraud style. We just sort of blend people back together with chunks of different people to see whether or not we can actually make somebody who's datable. It's not necessarily. It's not necessarily. And it's not necessarily. And it's not necessarily.
Starting point is 00:35:50 And it's not necessarily. And it's not necessarily. And it's not necessarily. And it's not necessarily. And it's not necessarily. And it's not necessarily. And it's not necessarily. And it's not necessarily.
Starting point is 00:35:58 And it's not necessarily. And it's not necessarily. And it's not necessarily. And it's not necessarily. And it's necessarily. And it's necessarily. And it's necessarily. And it's necessarily. And it's necessarily. And it's necessarily. And it's necessarily. to here. Okay. What you do is if you haven't, you all go on the island, if you haven't, hooked up with somebody by the end of the first week, everybody who's single gets chopped
Starting point is 00:36:12 up, I chop you up, right? And they mix you back together to make new people from the bits, right? And then you're out there again, trying to date. Yeah, and the problem is not necessarily that there's anything wrong with you. It's just that this combo of traits don't match up with any of the other combo of traits that are out there. So then you just, it's like you shuffle the deck and you start. Shuffle the deck, that's exactly, that is exactly the deck. That's exactly that is exactly the expression Is just shuffle the deck
Starting point is 00:36:59 Beautiful. Yeah, that's okay the love Island of dr. Is he know what I thought there was a at first and this is part is a less good idea It's a it's a bunch of single people All the people who can't who haven't been able to partner up. They all group together and have sex with each other. I don't know if that means anything. Like in a big group, like all just sort of orgy type thing? Or maybe. Or are you saying they just get together in relationships because but one big relationship. Oh, okay. Or or no, but I thought that at first maybe I
Starting point is 00:37:35 thought that you meant that they when they get chopped up. You know what, forget it. I've realized that my my kid is waking up and that I think Indian is now trying to keep Hux in the room while I finished his podcast. So I should probably just finish the podcast. Let's just wrap it up and not try and torture ourselves or anyone else. What a beautifully swift episode. Swift. The 36 minutes and 54 second episode that we've always dreamed of. Can you quickly read through the sketch ideas, Alistair?
Starting point is 00:38:03 Okay, we got Billy Connolly-ing. And in this case, it was a video games but cut scenes. Sure. And then the guy eventually pivots into making movies. And then we've got a yelling as a sexual maneuver. And it eventually becomes a way that you could learn all your studies. We got open mic TV, great sketch idea,
Starting point is 00:38:31 and then we got open ear, which is essentially, it's just an open ear, it goes through a wall, and then we got confession ruleette. It's just an actual sketch idea from today. We got confession roulette, one in six of the, is a comp. We got wicker, wicker wall wall last Smith. And then we have a lot love island of dr. Barrow.
