Starting point is 00:00:23 Progressive casualty and trans company in Affiliates, National Average 12 Month Savings of $744 by New Customer Surveyed, who saved with progressive between June 2022 and May 2023. Potential savings were very discounts not available in all safe and situations. Alistair, before we get started, Yes.
Starting point is 00:00:41 Could we just take a moment to promote the stand up comedy specials of our friends Matt Stewart and Jack Stewart. Drew Che. And also known as Drew's. Yes, let's promote them in a way that is incomprehensible. Okay, so Matt Stewart and Jack Drew's both have standup comedy specials on YouTube for free. Oh, and they are two of the funniest guys and, man, those specials are packed with quality gagage.
Starting point is 00:01:16 And then all you have to do is go and watch them. That's the only bit of responsibility that you have to them. And you'll get that time back. I think it, I think it, in space. In space they say that. It doesn't shave. If it shaves years of your life, it's only in the sense of shaving, like shaving hairs off your face makes you look younger. Yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 00:01:40 So it'll shave the gray years off your life and make you look like your twin. And younger's a baby's right. It'll save the gray years off your life and make you look like you're twins. And young as a baby's bottom. Yes, it looks like your face will be a baby's ass. So there you go. All of your bits, your arms or baby's asses, your face is a baby's ass, your belly is a baby's ass. This is a great, you, one of your butt cheeks.
Starting point is 00:02:04 Marvel hero. Each one of your butt cheeks. Marvel hero. Each one of your butt cheeks is itself a baby's ass. They call him a baby's asses. Asses. All right. Buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum in Australia. I am visiting here as a way of being away from my family for a week as a gift from my father and mother to spend time with my beloved on her 40th and on our 10 year anniversary together. And I'm here with my... That makes it sound like it's her 40th anniversary together. Yeah. And she's been with you for 40 years,
Starting point is 00:03:08 but you've only really been involved for the last 10. That's right. She is a time traveler, or yeah, or I am just, I've only recently come to mental maturity and she was once my career. It's a very inappropriate relationship, but I am here today with my friend Andy Matthews, and we are going to take you through a portal
Starting point is 00:03:33 to the sketchverse. Yeah, that's right. It's a new realm. It's like Tune Town in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. But instead of Tunes, it's just normal people, but they're all in sketches. They're all sketch characters. Everything, everything. Yeah, it's just a it's a it's a sketch show universe in every place, even in between places, there are sketches happening. That's actually a really fucking cool
Starting point is 00:04:07 I mean, that's actually a really fucking cool device. Like if you could film it on like the lot of like universal studios or something and you just go from set to set location location, there are sketches out on the street as you're going past, fuck that's cool, Alistair. Yeah, well, I really want to do that. I mean, it's very possible, Andy. We can do it at some point. Maybe sketches could be happening in a, say, a Stupid old studio that we might have access to. And I know a studio seems like a less fun place to have sketches because that's where you would go Film sketches, but you film sketches there that are actually the sketches of people filming sketches, you see.
Starting point is 00:04:51 So these are actually, this is a little bit meta. That's how it starts. So you know you're quite deep into the verse here. Yeah, that's really fun. It sounds really fun. But I also like the idea of it as being a real location that we find a portal to and that we can actually take people into and they can, you know, in this universe,
Starting point is 00:05:14 it'll be interesting the way the break up breakdown of society is, right? I think there'll be a lot of psychiatrists, there'll be a lot of doctors with big sort of mirrored things on the top of their head. There will be a- Would you mirror things in the top of their heads? Those doctors that we had mirror thing that they wear, where they're in a sketch.
Starting point is 00:05:35 Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, okay, that little sort of like it looks like a- Do you think it might be- Satellite dish? Do you think it might be the same circle that you have on a pizza cutter? Yeah, I think they use the same thing. I think they use that to cut pizzas. Yeah, they can actually lean down and in a hands-free way, which is much more hygienic for a doctor. They can slice a pizza into into eight, twelve, whatever, even number of slices you desire. Doctor, doctor, I mean sketch doctor, sketch doctor. Yes, it's an emergency.
Starting point is 00:06:09 What is it? This pizza, it hasn't been cut. I'm on it. And then he does it with his face, but also his face smears on the pizza and he gets tomato sauce on there. Is there a sketch comedian doctor in the restaurant? What? Why, I'm a sketch comedian doctor. Oh, thank God.
Starting point is 00:06:33 This man needs help slicing his pizza. This is a really good bit. Oh. Oh. I mean, But then two patrons have to pick up the doctor. I think they have to pick up the doctor. I think they have to pick up the doctor bodily because he really is the handle of the pizza cutter, right? And the thing on his head is just the cutter on the end.
Starting point is 00:06:56 So they pick him up and they use his whole body just with that little, weirly disc at the top there to slice the pizza. I'd find that satisfying. And the doctor has very long, luscious hair. Oh yeah. Maybe the doctor is a woman. And it's dragging through the pizza's toppings and sauce, greasy, cheesy. It's really great. And then the cutter is pulling back across and slicing his own hair and cutting the hair into the pizza. Maybe even cutting the face a little bit. Mmm, cutting his face. Maybe her face. Her face. Her face. It's a sad fact that sketch comedian doctors are very rarely women. I think it's a, like, you know,
Starting point is 00:07:46 we talk about the, you know, diversity and equality of representation in, in, in, you know, in important fields like medicine. Yeah. I think it's even harder for women to make it into those roles, into those jobs. That's even more difficult. In the sketch of us. I mean, could you imagine all the pressure on a poor, you know, that a poor, like let's say, white girl experiences when she's growing up in the inner city when she has an improv parents to all the pressure that she has to eventually become a sketch
Starting point is 00:08:26 comedian doctor. Yeah, that must be, that must be awful. It's not only difficult to get into, but she doesn't really want to do it. But she does it for them because of the prestige that these improv parents will, will get in their community when they see, when they're able to show off their daughter, you know, being a very rare sketch comedian doctor. We have a few sketch comedy, improv comedy based ideas on this show where we use the form of improv comedy. But I think it would be great for a child to be like in the longest form improv
Starting point is 00:09:15 to people in a scene playing a husband and wife make love and actually give birth to an actual child who is raised in the scene nobody's ending the scene Because it hasn't reached they haven't they tried to end on a good laugh But it keeps going and they're not getting the laugh and it so it goes on and on and on for months and years and the person up the back of the room who's in control of the lights is waiting to cut the scene, but they can't get that big laugh to finish on.
Starting point is 00:09:52 And as it goes on, it gets harder and harder. The laugh has to be bigger and bigger to justify the thing. And they keep occasionally they'll get a bit of a laugh and they'll look to the back of the room but the guys like it's not enough. We can't end on that. And just hope, yes, they're having this child, they're raising it on stage. The scene is going on.
Starting point is 00:10:09 The child, this is all they've ever known. This is their reality. And the child thinks that their parents are these characters. Yeah. Yeah. They think they're really their parents, but they're not. They're just actors who happen to have given birth to this child as part of the scene. And I suppose when they cut the scene, when they edit the scene that they have to kill
Starting point is 00:10:29 the child. Wow. I didn't know that. Yeah. I mean, I all put the child up for adoption and say, look, we just had this child in a scene, we don't really want it. I mean, I mean, that's suggest that they, they actually will get out at some point. Like I, I picture this all in a black box theater, a guy just
Starting point is 00:10:51 right behind the corner, always waiting to run across the screen, across the, across this thing. He's aging, they're aging. You think you'd think that there would have been a laugh at least when they had sex to make the baby. No, no. Because they were both so uncomfortable about it. They were both so uncomfortable about it because of how problematic it all was. But that's where the scene had gone. They were doing that.
Starting point is 00:11:17 And the audience could pick up on the fact that they were uncomfortable. It actually got much more awkward and less funny during that bit. That's why it's taken them so long to bring, get the audience back on side. And I picture one of the audience members is actually one of the, one of the customers that we sold a ticket to, to the, to the sketchverse, just sitting there going, this is insane. This one is part of the sketchverse. It's crazy. Imagine you be able to, in the sketchverse, you'd be able to get into a spaceship, right? And go up into space and see spaceship-based sketches that are happening in like Star Trek style sketches.
Starting point is 00:12:05 Parodies and then you go to other planets where there's people interacting with other life forms and doing sketches. But when you go to the other planets, do they have a completely different sense of humor? So you can't get like, are they doing alien sketches on the other planets? Or are they doing earth sketches on the other planets? Or are they doing earth sketches on the other planets about aliens? I guess there'd be some earthlings there that are doing sketches about the cultural differences
Starting point is 00:12:33 between the aliens and the humans. And that would be barely understandable to our people because I guess it would be performing to that planet audience. Yeah. Right. So you'd kind of get the the human side of it. But then if you don't went further away into the alien verse, like into that alien planet, then I guess you would just see, yeah, aliens doing sketches for aliens. Yeah. If you're making first contact with a new alien civilization, there are no cultural reference points. You don't get any of the jokes in the sketches. It's a lot like just visiting aliens, but I imagine that acting is still really big and all the characters that they have in
Starting point is 00:13:20 their sketches are very recognizable. Like in that, you know, you see the same characters appearing with a frequency that you wouldn't expect them to outside of the sketch first. Yeah. Well, you see, in my, what I'm imagining in the sketch first is I'm imagining a, an alien people of quite small slugs, like slugs the size of your hand, you know. And so I can imagine that you can hardly make out of what the different roles in society are in the sort of slugs society. So what you're watching it and you're going, this is apparently comedy. Yeah. So, but maybe they just have slightly different patterns on their skin or something like that and then the maybe one of the people is like filming it one of our you know one of the customers is filming these sketches and then it's being being beamed back to just a TV in our travel agents office and people who are looking to in our travel agents office and people who are looking to buy tickets to the sketch first are watching this going this is really wild stuff.
Starting point is 00:14:32 This is, I don't know, is it all comedy like this? Because I'm not sure I'm finding it funny. Go, well, it just depends on how deep into the, you know, this, this guy's an explorer. I know this guy is, you know, going to the, to the edges of the the edges of the universe to find comedy that still makes him laugh. Well, it does make him laugh, but maybe after he's been on the slug creature planet for like a couple of years, like in a rival, he starts to get the jokes. He's been there long enough, he can see the comedy. I also liked it in the sketchverse. Things like spaceships, time travel, teleportation, they're all possible.
Starting point is 00:15:14 Yeah. Because basically anything you could write into a sketch can be done. And I think if you, I think what would be great about it is that like, if you were to look behind one of the panels on a spaceship in the sketchverse, you would just be kind of fuzzy gray blobs because sketch comedians and writers never need to know any of the details about how things work beyond the device they're exploring in the sketch. Yeah. But it does work, but it's not like you could bring back
Starting point is 00:15:47 the spaceship faster than light technology or whatever to our universe. It only works there because there are no details. Yeah. Wait, so give me just a very beginning of this. That sentence again. So if you went to the sketch universe Yeah, and you went on one of their spaceships because they spaceships and that stuff do work over there Yeah, no
Starting point is 00:16:13 comedy devices if you would have then open one of the panels right you you're down in the warp core And you want to know how the spaceship works if you would open it It's just sort of gray how the spaceship works. If we were to open it, it's just sort of gray, nondescripted details, it's even blurrier or something. It's just like static behind it. It hurts your brain like trying to do maths in a dream. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, but imagine taking a physicist there or finding a sketch versus physicist. And then that he would actually, I mean, he would be in a sketch, but he would also maybe be trying to search, like,
Starting point is 00:16:52 I mean, because he would be making a joke about the universe itself that's there. Yeah, well, he could be in a meta sketch. They have meta sketches in the sketch version. Of course. So there's a, he could, for the purposes of a meta sketch, talk about this stuff and point out that none of the, this course. So there's a there would he he could for the purposes of a meta sketch talk about this stuff. Yeah. And point out that none of the in fact, I think this is quite a good
Starting point is 00:17:08 sketch to write. In which the doc the the your honest spaceship. And there's a there's a there's a sketch scientist who's explaining why none of we don't know how any of the details work. Why none of we don't know how any of the details work. But we know that everything works. Yeah, it works, but only for the purposes of the sketch, it's works because it's needed. It's a required device for the for the comic premise and the laws of the universe that control the universe would be all like, you know, if you were trying to look for the rules of the universe, you'd find somewhere on a fundamental level, the rule of three is built into the universe or whatever it is. Anything is in service of the laws.
Starting point is 00:17:52 Yeah. All this works because it's funny, you see. And there needs to be a logic to it. There still are rules. There needs to be a logic because sketches don't work if there's no rules at all. Yeah, and that means that you could potentially go to an alien planet and figure out what the joke is based on the universal laws within that sketch. Maybe, maybe if the universal laws could be localized within the frame of reference of the sketch. Unless you see a law that doesn't make sense in a sketch, which allows you to hypothesize that there's a sketch happening really far in a really big sketch, happening really far in the universe, that you are where it's such a big sketch, that it is, and it must be such a big joke that it is a, we are able to sense, it's like gravitational pull
Starting point is 00:19:02 or the something happening, you know, sometimes you know, a planet explodes for a gag. You would probably see that from the other side of a galaxy. Yeah, I love it, Alastair. I want to live there. I think we are currently living there. Maybe we do. Maybe we're not in a simulation. Maybe we're in a sketch. Maybe we're just making a mistake at not laughing at every moment. Yeah. Well, maybe we're in the lull. You know, maybe this is a sketch that goes a really long time. 45 minutes long. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:38 The 14 billion year lull. And I mean, that means that the universe is about to, is about to wrap up at some point in the next, in the next 10, like, you know, we're actually, what is this? So if it's a 50 minute show, then that means that we're four fifths. Yeah. Four fifths to the way through the history of the, of the, of the, the, the, the sketch first. of the sketch for existence. It's an exciting idea. Let's see if we can get a grant to investigate this.
Starting point is 00:20:12 I think it would be a very, very fun thing to do. Maybe we just need one of those screens that Marvel have to film all their things on other planets. Hi, icons. It's Danny Pellegrino from the Pop Culture Podcast, Everything Iconic, and I love Nordstrom. No place better to shop, particularly during the holiday season, because they have everything.
Starting point is 00:20:36 They have holiday decor at Nordstrom. They have cozy cardigans from Barefoot Dreams, my fave. They have cold weather attire, party attire, plus free shipping and free returns. Free store pickup. You can also purchase a recycled fabric gift bag so your item arrives festive and wrapped. So check out Nordstrom this holiday season, a one-stop shop. You can explore more at Nordstrom in store or online at Nordstrom.com. online at Nordstrom.com.
Starting point is 00:21:10 One of those screens that Marvel has, oh, big, big LED screen. Is that what they do? One of those ones, you know, so that you can just be in front of alien planets at all time. And that's just an easy way of filming this. Yeah, great. Well, getting into the practicalities of it. You know, you know, where has a really big LED screen? At the Marvel Studios studios. Well, they do have one there. I don't know if it's exactly for
Starting point is 00:21:29 those purposes, but I think it could do a lot of that stuff probably. I think you could. Yeah. That's basically what we did in that sketch you were in Alistair. Oh, yeah. That video. I've also just seen somebody do something where they go, you can actually go into, Epic, Epic who make Fortnite know that. I think they have like a thing that's just for, you know, for like 3D modeling and things like that. I think it's the, I'm probably,
Starting point is 00:21:58 it's just Unreal Engine. And you can just go in there and find any landscapes in there. And then use those landscapes, you can, I mean, you can make landscapes, but you can also find in there and find any landscapes in there, and then use those landscapes, you can, I mean, you can make landscapes, but you can also find landscapes that already exist, and then just use those landscapes as backgrounds for sketches. It's really exciting. You're very excited about this.
Starting point is 00:22:17 It's maybe a little less fun. Yeah, comedy powered by the Unreal Engine. I mean, look, we gotta get get, we got to get there. We got to make it happen somehow within a very small budget. Yeah. Great. Andy, we technically have one, two, three, four, five sketch ideas. This is so exciting for the listeners. Yeah. So we could go into three words from a listener.
Starting point is 00:22:41 Alistair, let's do it. I, you know, this is the, the model for like, you know, you watch your shows on your streaming platforms. They make those episodes any fucking length they want. That's right. And we can do the same thing. We can do the absolute same thing. And so now the three words come from Patreon supporter Santéry Rickenon. Santéry Rickenon, Santari Rickenon, Santari Rickenon, Santari Rickenon, Santari Rickenon, Santari Rickenon, Santari Rickenon, Santari Rickenon, Santari Ricken words. Okay. The first word then is hey. Hey, like, A-Y? No, E-Y. Ah, yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:23:34 No, it's not that. But you have two of the letters are correct. It's where. Where. Where? Where? Where? You know, I feel like I was very, very close.
Starting point is 00:23:47 Where is? Where is? Where is? Oh, that's, that's a, I think, you know, you got the spirit. You got the spirit of this word, Andy, and you got one of the letters, right? It's where find. Where? Find? find. Where find teleport? Very good guess. Very good guess. No, it's discord. Where find discord? Yeah. Santeria had heard that there's a discord and didn't know how to find it. So maybe we can. I've been putting it in the show notes, link in the show notes, I think. I've been putting it in the show notes, a link in the show notes, I think. But I also realized that for some reason I've been copying in the show notes for a few episodes and the links were all broken.
Starting point is 00:24:37 So hopefully in the most recent episodes, those links are fixed again. Is that a sketch idea? I mean, that's not a sketch idea. That's a really good, that's a really good bit of, I think, information that, you know, that all audience members can use to get into the discord if they want. There's a lot of wonderful people in there and there's some fine conversations, both about the episodes and random things.
Starting point is 00:25:00 And you can come and also promote any of your, whatever you're doing and the, you know, stuff I'm making or whatever, uh, little thing in there. Could we, could we find some comedy in this by, uh, by interpreting the word wear in the sense of one that one would say wear wolf, you know, and so, uh, this is what the sketch is about, it's a about a find discord that turns into a wolf. All right. Yeah, yeah. Or so, so somebody who, when the, the full moon comes out, can tell you where to find the tuna thing, think discord. How are we? That's good too. Yeah. Or somebody, I mean, somebody who on a full moon turns into a telemarketer and you got a lock
Starting point is 00:25:47 in your way so that I try to contact my family. And I'm going to get to some. Yeah, or yeah, telemarketer or a multi level marketer maybe. Oh, yeah. I mean, I think there's a fun sketch in that. Yeah. I agree. They transform into an M.Y. person or whatever. Then they run into the forest and they start digging and from, you know, and they drag out a big plastic tub full of juice or something. Yeah, single branded products.
Starting point is 00:26:25 Yes. Quick, chain me to this thing. You know, they get the strength to move a big boulder that's in front of a cage that had all their products in there. No, we locked that away. You know, you go into the room where it was all chained up and there's just a hole there. And he's, I know he's escaped. He's going to wake up and they think that their mouth is covered in blood,
Starting point is 00:26:55 but it's actually just they've been demonstrating so much AVE on lipstick. It looks like it. Yeah, it's so furiously drinking so much of the, of the, the, the the pomegranate based health juice. Yeah. I also, partway through this, I don't know if we've pitched this idea, but like, you know about witch doctors. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:23 But why just witch doctors? Why not witch mechanics? Why can't you take your car, broken down car to a witch mechanic who will burn some herbs over it and try and fix it in that way? If we trust ancient Eastern medicine, say, why don't we also trust ancient Eastern engineering? Engineering mechanics. Yeah, well, just a guy who's, who's, will acupuncture your car.
Starting point is 00:27:58 But also a guy who had like a a shamanic experience, like he was close to death, had like a shamanic experience. Like he was close to death, and then he saw spirit come to him as he was, you know, verging on the edge of no longer existing. And he told him, The spirit was wearing really greasy overalls. Yeah, and he told him how to fix all cars,
Starting point is 00:28:19 or, you know, like the electronics inside big screen TVs, or, you know, know a witch mail man who tells you how to yeah which mile oh me which mile man which mail man yeah or just you know the or a witch mail person who works in the actual post office, and instead of putting stamps on things, like puts little sprinkles, like sprinkles some, I don't know, like some frog eyeballs that he crushes up in his fingers,
Starting point is 00:28:52 sprinkles it over your leather. Yeah, nice. And then, you know, drops it in a, you know, drops your leather into a pool of ooze. Now, we have to establish whether or not are they actually fixing things? Does it work in this sketch, the mystical voodoo mechanics? I think a lot of people believe it does.
Starting point is 00:29:18 And maybe that's enough placebo effect. Is it? effect is enough. You know, like, like, you know, if you send somebody a letter, really, like what impact is that really going to have if they get your letter? Ah, sure. You know, I mean, unless it's like you're posting like your kids birth certificates, you know, like, you might be a history of birth or whatever like that, but you might be able to convince yourself that they got your letter on a on a deeper level. But the government, yeah, the government knows on a deeper level that your kid is born. And yeah, great. And a known number of society. And then you could get a which Medicare number.
Starting point is 00:30:03 Yeah, great. That allows you to go to the, the, the witch doctor and get bulk build. Just to think of like how much of the sketchverse would be just witch based, you know, witch mechanics, which, you know, how many there'd probably be a whole witch district. I mean, there just, it would be, which sketches. There'd be so much more industry so much more diversity in the economy in the in the sketchverse I would be interested maybe or maybe not I mean I think there's probably huge sections of the economy that exist in our world that no one has ever written a sketch about well I think
Starting point is 00:30:39 you're right pipe manufacturers or pipe designers. Oh, that's interesting. I'm thinking about making my own six mill instead of seven mill this time. Wow. It's crazy. We haven't been writing these sketches this whole time. That's so good. Which which pop does on this? Which architect? Yeah. All just the one over there. And he should I just take these sketch ideas? Yes, please. All right. Well, first we have the sketchverse, which really is the all-encompassing idea of the sketchverse. And I guess you and me being to travel agents, allowing people to facilitate. We find the doors.
Starting point is 00:31:26 We find the portal. It's probably a door like a maybe it's an invisible door and you just got to open it up like this. It's like a mind door. It's a mind door. Imagine that the first time you open up a mind door and it actually takes you somewhere, you open it up and then actually you see something on the other side and you go holy fuck. An improv scene gone wrong or very right.
Starting point is 00:31:54 There's also the way in which you could wake up and find yourself in the sketch of us without realizing how like, or maybe you went through, you know, yes, you were at improv at an improv night and you went through the mime door. They forgot to close the mime door on the stage. And you sketched first leaked into you. And well, you, and this is the second move. And you happened to step through it just randomly. You didn't see that it was there. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:21 And, and when you went through, you found your way into the, but it a thing. You know how like in the second Jurassic Park, I think it must be second Jurassic Park or maybe one of them where like a T. Rex is brought from the islands to the main world, like it's in the city. This feels like it's the second movie where somebody forgets to close the sketch, did the mind door. And then suddenly the sketch world is infiltrating everywhere. And you can only, to be true, who is who based on whether or not they're kind of in a,
Starting point is 00:32:53 look like they're in a setup or they're being really unreasonable. Yeah. Yeah. They do a lot of Mime scene work. But then there's things like their sketch guns, their Mime sketch guns do work in our world as well.
Starting point is 00:33:09 They start to take over. Oh my gosh. As a joke, which is, you know, what everything you do is, but they don't think it's such a joke. There are so many Hitler's, so many sketch hitlers. Oh my God. But you know, some of them would be doing their painting, some of them would be doing. Yeah, oh, that's true.
Starting point is 00:33:28 Yeah, but it'd be a boon for the old right. Anyway, so that's first then we've got a sketch. I'm actually quite excited about all the sketch headlers coming through and they all look a bit different, but they've all got that. They've all got that mustache. They've all got slightly different quality uniforms depending on the budget and the sketch show that they're in all different body types. Sure, of course, because poor neighborhoods would have worse props for their sketches. Then we've got, okay, so then we've got sketch comedian, Dr. Kutspitzer with metal circle, possibly in a restaurant and some people pick them up and then they roll their head against the thing.
Starting point is 00:34:08 Then we've got improv parents putting pressure on daughter to become sketch comedian doctor. Then we have an improv couple having a baby in a scene because they want to end on a last. Yes. Then we have the traveling to alien planet in sketch verse and seeing aliens do sketches for aliens that we don't understand Hmm, then we've got Where multi-leveled marketer And then we have which mechanic which male person
Starting point is 00:34:39 Yeah, and which the which first investment analyst. Yeah Investment analyst might what's the bloody difference there, I tell you what here we go Paul let us all Any what do you think we wrap up this episode at 33 minutes 40 seconds. Let's do it.
