And I would like to present you this award right here. Oh my God. Best intro to the podcast.
I've never received an award
that was so malleable.
What is this made from? Air.
Oh my goodness. Yeah.
Air award. Yeah.
Is it perpetual? Do I have to hand it on?
No. No? Okay.
You don't even have to hand it at all.
No? You just waft it.
Do you think air is malleable?
I don't think of air as being malleable.
It's definitely soft.
It's pretty soft.
But I think malleable, for something to be malleable, it has to be able to assume a new shape that has some boundaries.
Yeah, but this still does, but it's...
Oh.
Like, would you say there's boundaries around a gas?
Or even parts of a gas
You just set your own boundaries
Yes, a gas doesn't have any boundaries
I had a cousin who was a gas
And let me tell you
Christmas parties with him were a bloody nightmare
Because he would just go off
Gases are like the children of progressive parents.
They just don't have...
They set their own boundaries.
They set their own boundaries.
Gasses are like squatters in early Australian settlement.
They build their own...
They wear plaid trousers.
Plants.
Yeah.
There's a cousin... Having a cousin who's a gas.
Yeah.
What a humorous concept.
Do you think that's a sketch?
Not at all.
No, but well, okay, what about...
What about, but he goes, he opens the door, and he goes, Mark, are you in here?
He's not in here
And then he goes into
He's like
Mark?
Okay
Oh here you are Mark
What about
Alright
Okay
Did you ever watch that
Children's TV show
Ghostwriter?
I saw it once or twice
Okay
Ghostwriter was a
He was a ghost
Yeah
And you could only communicate
By rearranging letters
On things
Right So there were lots of anagrams, I guess.
He would rearrange things in anagrams to make new words,
and give kids clues to solving crimes.
On computers?
He could do it on anything.
Even in a book? He actually was able to move ink around.
I think he could.
I think he could.
There you go, that was Ghost Rider. He was a ghost. He was a ghost. He had a lot of powers. Yeah. I think he could. There you go.
That was Ghost Rider.
He was a ghost.
He was a ghost.
He had a lot of powers.
Yeah, that's cool.
Well, one power.
But it manifested in many different ways.
Yeah.
And I wonder, what if instead of having the power to move things around,
you just had the power to create smells or odours and waft things very gently?
Wafting. wafting wafting i look i i like that i kind of like this idea of of uh carl my cousin the gas and you walk into a room
call out his name and just smell for him and then he tells you a story through the different smells. You go, how was your day?
And then you go, did you go test drive a new car
because you made the new car smell?
In terms of acknowledged smells,
we have a vocabulary of smells, right?
That we have words for.
But of all the things things probably there are a lot
of smells we can't create smells at will we get like we can make sounds or
pictures so we can't really communicate with them so that we don't use smells
and don't understand smells as well yeah as you could yeah that's what like late
yeah we don't look I don't know because like, okay, we can emit a gas.
We can.
And then we can emit pheromones.
We don't have that much control, but you could breathe bad breath onto somebody.
Yes.
But, you know, that's the thing about sort of, like, perfumists and certain chemists.
They have the power to communicate with smell, which is a power that almost no other humans have.
Yes.
Yeah.
What a gift.
Yeah.
I have the power to communicate through smell.
Yeah.
Oh, aromatherapists?
No.
Probably the worst kind of therapist.
You can do aromatherapy.
I'm really depressed.
Oh, lavender.
You can do...
If they have the power to do things with smells,
presumably they're supposed to be able to control your mood in some way, alter your mood.
It doesn't feel...
Can we start again?
Why no? We think we're doing good.
Why?
Just because you couldn't get through that sentence.
I couldn't get through the sentence, Alistair, and I wanted to bail out.
You know, in a way, podcast is like life.
And you feel like it would be so great if you could just stop it all and start again
every time you make a goddamned mistake.
Wait, was it really just that?
Was it because you wanted to say something about aromatherapists?
Look, I felt like I had an idea about aromatherapists
and then it really didn't go anywhere.
What was it, though?
It was that...
Okay, it was the idea of applying the aroma system
of making things better and fixing to other areas of employment, like an aroma mechanic or something like that.
Okay, so that was what I was trying to say.
Yeah, okay, like an aroma mechanic.
An aroma mechanic.
Or an aroma postman.
An aroma pilot.
Yeah, an aroma postman is just a guy Who walks around with a bunch
Of inflated balloons
And then he takes them
To your house
And then you breathe them in
With your nose
Oh you deliver a smell
Yeah
That's quite a nice idea
Yeah
That there would be a system
That would allow you
To deliver
Odors
Hmm
The odor you ordered
Is here
Yeah
The odor you ordered
Did you order this odor?
Order and order Order and order.
Order and order on orderandodor.com.
Did you...
Orderandodor.org.
Did you hear the story?
Did you hear what happened to the Nazi dog?
No.
Apparently, he was only following odors.
I just made that up then.
That's pretty good.
That's quite good.
Yeah, he's just following odors.
I might do that on stage
That's great
Not really
It's probably not
Not good enough joke
To be worth bringing up
Nazi sport
I think
I think you'd want
A stronger punchline
To be honest
And probably a stronger set up
But
Maybe a different concept
Then we might be somewhere
Might be going somewhere
But I feel like
That's
It's so It's so far away from being a joke about Nazis
that it's almost the most appropriate Nazi joke.
The most appropriate Nazi joke.
Look, hey, I like this delivering smells idea in balloons.
Yeah.
And I just think squeezing them through the letterbox
would be a bloody fraud activity.
But you could just tie them to the doorknob or like, you know, or...
I'd like to see someone try and squeeze one through the...
Or look, the balloons, the balloons have just got like a rock at the bottom.
You just put the rock in the mailbox.
And then the balloon just kind of hangs out of the...
Hangs out of the...
We're presuming that all these smells are lighter than air?
Well, no, I'm...
For the purposes of this.
I'm assuming that you can probably mix them in with helium
because helium probably doesn't have a smell
because it's inert.
Inert.
Do you think that?
Yeah.
Helium doesn't have a smell because it's inert?
So look, I'm changing the idea, my cousin the gas,
and I'm changing it into smell delivery service.
But also, not just smell delivery service,
a world in which humans communicate with smell.
How will we explain this in any way?
Because they'll also have to react in some way, probably verbally.
It could be because, you know, I'm picturing this on television.
They will.
But listen, it'll be like this.
We'll give it kind of like a Dave Chappelle intro at the beginning.
He goes, well, I was always wondering about this.
You know, like he'll basically set up the sketch.
And I was looking at this dog, and this dog was like smelling things.
And I was like, that's how they communicate.
And I was like, well, we don't do that.
But I was always wondering, what would it be like if we did?
Okay.
Okay.
okay and like uh the way i'm picturing it is is in terms of uh you just rolled your eyes at me alistair i did not you did you rolled your eyes i didn't at all you rolled your eyes andy you're
a big old eye roller andy there might be something faulty with my brain at the moment because i did
not intentionally do it and i don't remember doing it. So I might be having a stroke.
Well, I apologize.
My idea is that for when you can't put something into words
but you can put it into smell.
Yeah, that's good.
Like
maybe
that moment in a movie where somebody
can't say
something aloud but they can sing it
or they can dance it. So it's like a musical but it's a smell loud but they can sing it yeah you know
or they can dance it also it's like a
musical but it's a smell they can stink
it yeah it's good and I like the idea of
somebody is like smell a gram smell a
gram is the correct Alistair well done
and then and then they open it up and smell-o-gram is the correct Alistair, well done.
And then they open it up and either somebody
either they open up
the balloon in front of their face and they just have it go
like
like that into their face like that
and you just see the balloon go limp.
Or there's somebody who comes with one of those
sort of
like a fireplace
blower thing.
Yeah.
Like that and he just goes into your face with a smell like that and then or like one of those little uh perfume bottles with
the yep like that the little bulb i like the i like it then you can riff on all the different
forms of communication and like inappropriate times to get a text message inappropriate times
to get a smell message you know you're in an elevator you're on a train times to get a text message, inappropriate times to get a smell message.
You're in an elevator, you're on a train,
you get a,
I'm sorry, I've got to take this balloon.
I'm sorry, everyone,
I've got to take this. You open the balloon,
everybody has to smell the smell that you've been delivering. That's great. We could play this sketch at the 4D cinema.
The 4D cinema?
You know those 4D cinemas?
Where you can smell things right i think so
they sound pretty good yeah i wonder where the chemicals that they get to make smell come from
like 4d cinemas like 5d cinemas right okay so 4d cinema is like the smell
give you the smell and the fifth dimension is somebody pinching your legs.
That's so much funnier than what I was thinking.
Okay, that's great.
Okay.
But this is,
then it's not about the idea, right?
It's about the guy
who runs the 5D cinema.
And he's running
this area underneath. cinema and he's just such a creepy loser and he's also like spraying smells out there also
it's like it's basically a grand a grandstand yeah he's spraying things behind you and then
he comes with pinching i think it's mostly just pinching legs, to be honest.
I don't think...
I'm not interested in the smells anymore.
Like, so he's seen that somebody else has done the 4D cinema.
Maybe he was going to open a 4D cinema, right?
And then someone opened a 4D cinema before him.
And he realised the only way that he could market his cinema
was to open a 5D cinema.
But he couldn't think what could possibly be the fifth dimension.
All he could think of was maybe pitching
people's legs. Running up
and down.
Does he have to get all these
films made where people are walking
through tanks of crabs?
No.
I think he just shows regular
films and then just tries
to suggest that there would be moments in the film
where you would feel a pitching sensation just like trying to cram it in for everything you
haven't seen schindler's list until you've seen it in 5d
whatever does he does he do like does he voice over a couple of things that
like arthur schindler says instead of whatever
he says instead of like well we we need to save more people he goes something feels like someone's
pinching my legs yes that's great 5d cinema pinching legs. Boy, I'm going to have fun trying to understand what that meant in a month's time when we read back through this.
Yeah, it's going to be great.
It's going to be great.
Yeah, that's cool.
So, Arthur Schindler.
Schindler's lifts.
Which is a real thing.
Yeah, and are they...
Do you think that person's a descendant of Arthur Schindler?
Good question.
Because it's Germany and they make a lot of sort of mechanical things like that.
Yeah.
It could be a reference to getting people safely from one place to another,
although that would be in spectacularly bad taste.
And so I hope not. I hope nobody hope nobody thought hey let's cash in maybe maybe it was just
like a tie-in you know like like with Shrek they do like Shrek Happy Meals and
you can get like a shrink Shrek drink bottle from from the supermarket yeah
maybe somebody's went and saw the movie Schindler's List list not Schindler's List and then thought it was a great movie.
Maybe they saw it in preview.
They went to Spielberg.
They said, hey, man, I've got a Lyft company.
Yeah.
I think it would be great for a tie-in.
And then it just caught on.
That never happens, by the way.
never happens by the way like those tie-in products for movies yeah never like make it outside of being a novelty product and it would be amazing if that was there was a tie-in product
for a movie that turned out that just got a life of its own right do you think there's anything
that's ever done that um the only thing i can think of is the way that they represent screens in Minority Report.
I feel like that's affected the way technology has gone.
Oh, yeah.
But it wasn't a tie-in.
No, it wasn't a tie-in.
It was a science fiction concept.
Yeah.
That's true.
The iPad wasn't released in promotion with Minority Report.
Like bad movie tie-in products or something?
Or like the idea that a movie would have a...
Like a really high concept movie would have a really high...
Because it's never a high concept tie-in product, right?
It's always, this is a movie about ogres going to a magical kingdom.
Here's a drinking cup.
Yeah.
Right?
Absolutely.
It's never, this is a movie about a man with a flying car.
Our tie-in product is a flying car.
Yeah.
Because, I mean, I'm sure there's got to be a few examples of things that have come.
Like, my brother owned the little recording device from Home Alone 2.
Really?
Yeah, they sold that.
But that's just a recording device placed into the shape of the recording device that he had on Home Alone 2.
I like the idea of some characters who are trying to pitch tie-ins for movies yeah i know that's cool um so how about
this it's like a it's like a sort of a a plastic film that you put underneath your shoe like that
right um and it sort of stops wear and tear and it's the uh mother theresa uh plastic film yeah because it saves your souls
it's good has there been a mother theresa film
not yet that would be called the mother theresa film there because it's a thin film yeah absolutely
in honor of Mother Teresa.
But sometimes you've got to get ahead of the game.
Or maybe it goes the other way, right? In that a guy has made an amazing product.
Okay, a guy has made a really amazing product
like a flying car or something.
And then there's been a movie that's come out, like a kid's movie has come out which features a flying car or something and then there's been a movie that's come out like a
kid's movie has come out yeah uh which features a flying car and then the disney people approach
him and say can we use your flying car as a tie-in as a tie-in for our movie and he is like
he would he's really angry because it's a serious flying car and they they're like, no, but we'll give you the funding,
but we just want it to have a big, stupid, smiley face.
Yeah.
Or something like that.
Well, you know, they actually could do that,
like with some of the sort of flying car-y type things
that have been invented.
Yeah.
And remake Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
It's not that crazy.
Yeah.
And then people will be like,
you know, that's an actual flying car
but i i think for me the sketch in this yeah is in the life of this guy who's an amazing inventor
who's made this incredible product yeah and but he's maybe he maybe his like one mistake was
agreeing to the tie-in with uh with with disney and now the car as well as flying also like
makes an arrange a array of silly voices
and maybe shoots bubbles out the back or something.
It's a genuine flying car,
but nobody takes it seriously
or takes him seriously
and he becomes a joke
because of what it's become.
You're not picturing it.
Well, I just feel like it would be a huge benefit to him
to advertise his flying car like that.
I don't see his problem,
to be honest.
I think this guy...
Any downsides?
I would kill for an opportunity like that.
Does he realise
what these people are giving him?
Don't you know what the distribution
of Disney films is like?
I would say like a billion people
see a Disney film.
Okay, but...
I'm trying to paint a picture of this guy's life being difficult.
Maybe he's working in a partnership with another guy who doesn't understand his idea, right? He's got one guy working.
It's like Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, right?
Inventing the Apple computer.
Steve was a great businessman,
but Steve was great at making the computers.
But fortunately, they were aligned in a similar direction.
But what if they weren't aligned in a similar direction?
The guy who's really good at marketing...
The one thing that doesn't make it work in my head yet
is that somehow the bubbles or the smiles
and the voices and things like that
have to be integrated in the car in a way that they are crucial now.
And he also doesn't know how to get them out.
He tries to get them out and then he breaks the car and he doesn't know how to fix it.
But why?
No, I don't think he has to try and get them out.
Because couldn't he just go, I'm just going to release a version that doesn't have all the...
No, but they've given the funding.
Okay.
They've given the funding for the car.
He's locked into this contract
and it's destroying his life. Could it be that also
he's ended up giving up the rights to it
for a lot of money?
Sure.
Because then he has no control over it anymore.
I like that.
And
instead of calling it the
Stevenson vehicle, they call it the Fluffy Bubble Car.
Fluffy, yeah.
Is this going to be like a, they could remake Flubber.
Yeah.
Again.
Again, for the third time.
Flubber was originally the Nutty Professor.
Was it?
Yeah.
So wait, the Nutty Professor.
No, not the Nutty Professor, the Absent-Minded Professor.
Sorry, the Absent-Minded Professor. I
loved that film. Really? I remember seeing the Absent-Minded
Professor and thinking, that's great. But the
flubber in the product
in the Absent-Minded Professor
wasn't like attractive looking
grey goo. It was a
quite unpleasant black
muck. Really? Yes.
It was like this sort of gross rubber thing.
Like, did you see those black cheeseburgers
that they have in Japan?
Yeah, I saw the black cheeseburgers.
Was it kind of that black?
Yeah.
Yeah.
The black black.
It was that black.
It was black like a black cheeseburger is black, Alistair.
Correct.
I guess I was picturing the cheeseburger cheese.
Man, if black cheeseburger...
This is a great...
This is a marketing coup for the black cheeseburger people.
If we've now started referring to black as cheeseburger black,
they have done incredibly well.
What a coup.
They've made a real impression on me.
Cheeseburger black.
I'm going to paint my house Cheeseburger Black.
Did it happen that quickly as well?
You're just like, oh, it's really...
Man, the night was as black as a cheeseburger.
Black.
Black.
Black.
Mr. Black.
Mr. Cheeseburger Black.
Mr. Cheeseburger Black. Cheeseburger.. Mr. Cheeseburger Black. Mr. Cheeseburger Black.
Cheeseburger.
Cheeseburger has bacon in it, right?
Or something?
What does it have in it?
Does it have meat?
I think, yeah, it's meat.
It's like a burger.
It's just like a regular burger.
Right.
But then it's just got a slice of cheese added to it.
A slice of cheese.
Do not, most burgers, do they not, does like a Big Mac, does it have a slice of cheese
in it?
No.
Big Mac doesn't have cheese?
Oh, a Big Mac might have cheese, actually.
I don't know.
I don't remember the cheese. but it's got Mac sauce.
That's what makes a Big Mac a Mac.
I think so.
It's the Mac sauce.
I believe so.
Also, the three buns.
Yeah.
The three bits of bun.
Big Mac has three buns.
Yeah.
Is that the one that's got the slice in the middle?
Yeah.
Yeah, and then I think it might be just two patties, but it could be four
patties. Four patties? Four patties would be too many patties, wouldn't it? Whoa! That's
too many patties. I think I saw a burger once with six patties. It's too many patties.
It's too many patties. Was the Nutty Professor, like the, what's his name? The Eddie Murphy
one. But also the one that was made by... Terry Lewis.
Yeah.
Because I'm guessing they were based on the same thing.
They were based on the Nutty Professor.
Yeah.
Was that...
They were based on the Ernest Hemingway book,
The Nutty Professor.
Well, I think it was just based on Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, right?
Oh, yeah.
Right, sure.
Yeah, that thing of the two personalities and the transformation potion seems likely.
Yeah.
I like the idea that Hemingway wrote a book called The Nutty Professor.
The man who ate his hat.
This is more likely.
This is similar to the car situation, but Hemingway is really passionate about his book The Nutty Professor.
Yeah.
But he can't get
anyone to.
Unless they add
bubbles to it.
No,
no,
like,
but like,
because you always
see this,
okay,
you always hear the
story about the guy
whose vision is
something really
artistic and great
and they push it
in the other direction.
Yeah.
So,
what if
we go the other way?
We flip it around, Alistair.
Let's flip it around.
We flip it around.
Let's get a 160.
We look at it from another angle.
We do it at 160.
Let's flip it up to 160.
Look, we haven't had training.
We're almost all the way around,
and you can correct it at the end,
and it looks like you did a 180.
Absolutely.
But so a man has written a book.
It's, you know, Dr. Fartsicle or something's Dr. Fartsicle or something.
Dr. Fartsicle?
Yeah.
He's made a bicycle that's powered by farts.
Oh, right.
I thought he was freezing...
Farts?
Yeah, farts.
And selling them in frozen balloons.
Yes.
Frozen farts.
But for some reason,
they corrupt his idea
and turn it into a really serious drama.
Something that's really practical and works.
No, the book.
The guy's written a book.
The guy's written a book called Dr. Farticle.
Okay.
And then the movie rights to Dr. Farticle. And then the movie
rights to Dr. Farticle get bought.
And then in the end he goes to
see the movie that they've made of Dr. Farticle
and they
haven't even included
the farting bicycle.
Yeah, and it's
quite a serious drama.
It's a very serious drama.
It's actually quite a beautiful film.
Yeah, and he completely disowns it. It was a very serious drama. They focus more on the human scene. It's actually quite a beautiful film. Yeah, and he completely disowns it.
Yeah.
It was a beautiful film.
I completely disown it.
I wonder whether Pauly Shore's ever done that.
Who's Pauly Shore?
He was the guy in Biodome.
He was big at some point.
I feel like we've had a conversation about Pauly Shore once before.
I think it's Mitzi.
Pauly Shore once before.
Mitzi Shore's son?
This isn't
helping.
No, but she's
the one who
owned, who
owned like the
Laugh.
Oh, the improv
or something.
Not the improv,
but the other
one, yeah.
The thing.
Yeah, yeah, in
LA.
Okay, famous
comedy club.
Yeah, the
comedy store.
So anyway, well
that's cleared up
who Pauly Shaw
is.
Now, Pauly Shaw,
has he ever
designed a movie?
Because he's
made so many fucking, fucking silly movies.
Yeah, right.
You know, like Biodome and In the Army or something like that.
He's basically done a film for every Ernest film there was.
Remember Ernest films?
Sorry.
We've got to watch an Ernest film sometime.
Have an Ernest marathon.
Yeah, there would be enough for a marathon.
The importance of watching Ernest.
Films.
Films.
Marathon.
Anyway, look, I wasn't going anywhere with that.
Okay.
Well, that's fine.
But this guy whose idea is corrupted,
it could be something.
Yeah.
I had a terrible idea and you ruined it.
No, no, no.
That's the title of his biography.
Yeah, yeah.
And then they make a biopic of him.
Yeah.
And...
They make him look too good and happy and stuff.
I wasn't that happy.
No, they make him look sadder than he is.
Well, I feel like with the Mary Poppins, they made that movie, S he is. I feel like with the Mary Poppins,
they made that movie, Saving Mr. Banks,
about making the Mary Poppins movie.
At the end, they made her,
she's watching the movie in the cinema at the premiere,
the Mary Poppins movie,
and she's crying in the cinema.
It made it look like she was crying with happiness.
But apparently, in reality,
she did go to the premiere and she was crying with sadness.
That's the thing about crying. In isolation, in reality, she did go to the premiere and she was crying with sadness. Really? And that's the thing about crying.
Yeah.
In isolation,
it's very difficult to tell
what you're crying for.
The context sort of makes you assume
that it would be out of happiness.
Exactly.
Because why would you be crying
in a film
even if you don't like it?
Do you think it's possible
to get a tear?
Yeah.
Right?
Like the liquid tear and analyze it somehow? Yeah. Right? Like the liquid tear.
Mm-hmm.
And analyze it somehow.
Maybe put it in some sort of analyzing device.
Yeah.
And determine whether or not it was a tear of happiness or a tear of sadness.
That's my question to you.
I would say...
Is there any difference?
I would say there potentially is.
No.
Because there would be a different...
Maybe not.
But there would be a different
composition of chemicals
going through your brain at that time,
firing out at the time,
depending on whether you have
happiness or sadness.
Yeah.
So there could be some hormonal difference
or something like that.
Because if you're scared
and if you're stressed and stuff,
I find my sweat smells different.
So maybe happy tears, I reckon they're sweeter.
There you go.
They taste sweeter.
I wouldn't be able to taste the difference.
Do you think sad tears are saltier?
Or do you think it's like a road that hasn't been rained on for a while?
Your tear ducts, if you haven't cried for a bit, they probably just salt up and they probably get slicks of oil on them and just come out.
You've probably got to cry regularly to keep them in shape.
Because I'm pretty sure that stuff on the coats your eye is a bit oily.
Because that's why it encrusts yellow like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, so maybe that gets into the duct and then it oils it as a bit oily. You know, because that's why it encrusts yellow like that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, so...
Yeah, that makes sense.
So maybe that gets into the duct,
and then it oils it up a bit.
But I don't know whether...
It hasn't got us any closer to determining...
Yeah, look, I would say they're probably just exactly the same.
You know the lie detector, Alistair?
I know of it.
It's very negative, isn't it?
The lie detector. Why don't we have a
truth detector? That would
be better. I think that would be better.
I think it would be nicer. But something that
reacts when you feel like
not just like, not just that you're
telling the truth, but that when you
feel like you're, when
a brain feels like it's found
a universal truth
yeah you know like like like a universal truth detector because you know that feeling when you
feel like something just really clicks in your brain yeah like everything goes into place if
you're feeling that then there must be a waveform that that represents that or like some kind of
brainal emissions brain all like like
that that feeling is such is so
significant that I feel like you could
probably detect that from about three
feet away oh with them you could probably
hear the click yeah was that you I feel
like it's I just had an epiphany yeah I
heard yeah your brain went so anything
you can do with that anything do with the idea of a device to detect universal truth?
Well, I feel like it would go off less frequently than a lie detector.
But...
Could you...
Well, I guess you could make a...
Look, it's like you could make a film.
Yep.
And it's sort of like the opposite of this idiot film
where the woman only uses 10% of her brain,
but then she uses more of it.
Oh, this idiot film.
She's got all these powers.
Bloody Susan Sarandon or whatever her name is.
Scarlett Johansson.
Scarlett Johansson.
Similar syllables.
Which is Susan Sarandon 2.
Yes. Right? Just all over again. We've seen it before. Yeah. Scarlett Johansson. Scarlett Johansson, which is Susan Sarandon 2. Yes.
Just all over again. We've seen it before.
Yeah. Scarlett.
Or if that is your real name. If that
is your real career.
Anyway,
but they realize that the brain
is much smarter
than we are. You know you only use 10% of your ass.
You know, humans only use 10% of your ass. You know, humans
only use 10% of their elbow.
Imagine.
Just imagine if they were able to access
100%
of their elbow.
Look at this range of motion.
Picture that.
At the moment, I'm getting about
60%, right?
Wait, no, that's like 90 there.
Yeah.
About 130 degrees, right?
But, like, look what happens when I start using,
I start activating 20% of my elbow.
I don't know what it would look like.
I imagine, like, a second arm starts coming in.
I thought, look, initially, I thought humans only use 10% of their ass.
I thought that was a funnier starting point.
Yeah.
But definitely 10% of their elbow has a quirky charm and isn't so anally fixated.
Yeah.
I mean, look, I also felt the same thing.
And I felt like
I'd ruined it a little bit
by going elbow.
But like,
we could definitely do a movie
where you find
hidden capacity
in something other than the brain.
I definitely think that's something
that you could write down.
A person uses 10% of their
ass slash elbow.
Let's be true to the original idea,
but then also remember that we could do it with any body part.
It doesn't just have to be the ass.
Or the elbow.
Or the elbow.
All asses and elbows.
You see that bloke out there?
He was all asses and elbows.
He only uses 10% of 10% of his body.
So 10% of his body, he uses 10% of 10% of his body. You know, so 10% of his body, he uses 10% of it.
But the other parts, the other 90%, he uses 20%.
Because would you say that your brain, like, your brain is like 10% of your body?
Maybe that's what this is.
No, no, body.
Like through weight,
do you think like your brain has 10% of your weight?
I know that your head has a large percentage of your,
like a larger than you would expect.
30%?
50.
Really?
No.
No.
Anyway, so I like that idea.
Yeah.
There's something in that.
But then the thing I was going to say was we realize that our brains are smarter than we are.
And they find ways of tapping into using the processing power of the subconscious of people's brains.
using the processing power of the subconscious of people's brains.
And then they turn people's brains into truth detectors so that you have to consciously go through things to find truths.
But it has processed the universe through 30 years of observation.
Yeah, and it feeds every possible thing into your brain.
It's a bit like Alistair Lissett.
You actually understand the physical,
like, your brain actually has all the formulas within it
of the physical laws.
That's how it helps predict motion and things like that.
Right?
But you don't know it because you don't have access.
Like, you can use that thing, you know,
like for running and catching balls and shit,
but you don't have the formulas in your conscious mind.
Explicitly.
So you have to just go through it and just say a whole bunch of things until you get to it.
Yep, that's true.
Bing!
That's true.
Oh, we found it!
Yeah.
Is it E equals L times V squared?
This feels a bit like mining for Bitcoin, right?
Because when they mine for Bitcoin, they process all these algorithms
and you're trying to find certain types of numbers.
Yeah.
I'm pretty sure that's how it works.
And once you've found one of these types of numbers,
they're all unique
and that represents a certain piece of value.
Yeah.
Again, there's a finite number of them
and that's why there's limited
and you can have inflation and all that kind of stuff.
Well, maybe not.
Anyway, but what if we come up
with a new kind of cryptocurrency
that's called universal
truth coin and like well every time you find a it's a it's kind of like gurus sitting on top of
a mountain right and every time they they come across a timeless pearl of wisdom yeah they can
use it online to buy drugs which then allows, those drugs allow them to explore their mind more.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And also get on some mad trips.
Yeah.
Rod of damn.
Universal truth coin.
Yeah.
That's great.
Wow, that was a real adventure to get to universal truth coin.
Yeah.
What was the one right before that we wrote down?
It was The Humans Use Only 10% of Their Ass.
It's a movie.
Scarlet, your head's in.
I feel like we could just re-voice the trailer for that movie.
Just remove brain and then ass.
And then suddenly she's got all these powers.
Yeah. That's amazing. That's got all these powers. Yeah.
That's amazing.
That's actually
all you need to do.
Just replace the word
and then just play it.
Even if she touches
her head sometimes
to like get
telekinetic powers
it's like she's
concentrating on her ass.
Well done. Well done. Well done
Well done
Well done
It's like that person who just
Turned the fart thing
What was the thing that somebody did
Oh no the Nicki Minaj
I like Big Butt song
And somebody just added just fart sounds to it
Anaconda
Yeah
That's the name of the song
So we're on five
We're on five ideas
Holy shit guys
What a journey we've been on
We've been on a break for a while
So we're back now
We're starting to do it
This seriously
We are back in the tank
Here we go
Back in the tank
Here's today's ideas
Is this the whole thing?
So wait okay
My cousin the gas
This is
It's a multiple It's a multiple idea.
My Cousin the Gas, but also Smell Delivery Service,
which people who communicate through smell and smell-o-gram.
Then we've got 5D Cinema,
where the fourth and fifth dimension is just a guy pinching your legs.
No, the fourth dimension is smells,
and the fifth dimension is a guy pinching your legs no the fourth dimension is smells and the fifth dimension
is a guy pinching your legs a fluffy fluffy bubble car flying car um that's where a guy has a really
good serious flying car idea but then he has to sell it out to like a disney company and he's
really upset about it and angry that his life isn't very good. Yes.
And his life isn't very good.
And his life isn't very good because he's upset and he's angry.
And people don't like to be upset.
Being upset is bad.
No, that's true.
That's true.
Then there's humans only use 10% of their ass,
and then there's universal truth coin.
It's a finite thing in that you can have a currency
and then you can use it
to buy drugs online.
And you have gurus
mining Bitcoin
which just means
them sitting on top
of a mountain
in a cave
or on top of a...
It's actually...
There's a mountain
in a cave.
He's on top of that.
It's a big cave.
Yeah.
It's a small mountain.
It's a volcano.
It's a cave
on top of a mountain.
It's a... No, it's a mountain in a cave. Oh, it's a mountain
in a cave. Yeah. Whoa.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then inside
that mountain is another cave.
That's where he is. That's how wise
this guy is. So is this like, was the first
the mountain that they're inside of?
Do you think that was just leaky and the
second mountain on the inside is a
stalactite? Stalagm the inside is a stalactite.
Stalagmite.
Stalagmite.
Also, the universal truth coin, because all these gurus, it's what pulls India out of poverty and makes it a financial superpower.
But also, you can buy drugs with the coins.
Also, mostly, you can buy drugs and rugs.
Drugs and rugs.
Drugs and rugs. Come on down to drugs and rugs. Drugs and rugs. Drugs and rugs.
Come on down to
drugs and rugs.
We bought too many drugs.
All drugs must go.
Universal drug sale.
We're losing our mind.
All these drugs and rugs
are really expensive.
I must be off my face
with the prices I'm
getting rid of these drugs for.
And rugs.
And rugs.
Anyway.
Thank you very much.
Thank you kindly.
Thanks for listening, guys.
