Hello and welcome to Two In The Think Tank, the show where we come up with five sketch ideas. Five sketch ideas. I'm Andy. And I'm Ailey Stairtree, Blaber Trail. A-lister. I mean, it's such a joy. You're a bloody A-lister. A-lister. A-lister. And that means also somebody who is on the top list, but it also means somebody who lists, you know? That is something, yeah. That's great.
Starting point is 00:01:11 I was thinking you should do, you should offer Alastair lists everything as sort of an ambient background performer for like a hotel lobby or something like that, or you know, a gentleman's club you know you see I mean I could do it at motivational conferences and just say motivational things that'd be great if you're able to brand new Corvettes looking in the mirror and seeing a winner. Pockets full of cash. Alice there. Not bleeding from your eyes. Oh, that's the side of a sure winner. Look at that bloke over there. I like, I'll, he's got a certain
Starting point is 00:01:56 genre say quite he's got something about him. I don't know if it's Chris Burrell, but the fact that he's not bleeding from his eyes. That Alistair lists everything guy who sure has sold out to the motivational community. But I think, you know, a big, I think that's a sketch idea, Alistair, right? Is somebody whose job it is to go along to sales conferences, business power whales, networking things and walk through the crowd or stand in a corner muttering important motivational business
Starting point is 00:02:36 themed things like you were just saying then and what it does is while people are chatting if there's ever a lull in the conversation There's still high-powered business words being said so it keeps the momentum up. It keeps the vibe positive You know, there's nothing worse than everybody's talking about you know all their investments and stuff And then suddenly the room goes quiet and there's no one has anything to say So you need I mean the quiet and there's no one has anything to say. So you need the cosmic background of conversation. It'd be nice to have a guy who does just go around and compliments people, you know, in the way that they want to be. You know, it's just like, wow, you, can I say you look powerful?
Starting point is 00:03:18 Why should I just, why does this not exist already? Well, exactly. Right. Yeah. I mean, it should cut. It should be a standard part of the service, I think when you hire any kind of conference venue, they should just have a guy on staff. If they've got people who clean the toilets and people who hang up the decorations, they should also have it like a sort of a compliment, as somebody who's able to look people in the eye and very genuinely tell them that that suit looks very good on them. You know, that's an amazing color on you.
Starting point is 00:03:56 Yeah, because I guess most businesses have a greeter, but that's really where the politeness ends. That's true. And a lot of those shops that have a greeter, they've turned into somebody who checks your bags as you leave so it's true it's it undermines it a little bit doesn't it they don't they don't and they never check your bags on the way in do they you could have a lot of stolen goods from a
Starting point is 00:04:19 completely different shop in that bag. That's right. Maybe a different Walmart. From a different Walmart. As you're walking into this. And that's not none of their business, right? Yeah. No, I stole these from a different Walmart. I know you stock these. That's why I steal here. But I didn't steal them from here. You can check the cameras.
Starting point is 00:04:42 You've got nothing on me. You've got no jurisdiction over this yeah yeah no they don't think they can't prove it so therefore that you can't they can't you know do it do it mm-hmm if you can't prove it you can't do that's I've I have had my kid ask for proof that they've done something wrong. Wow. Prove it. You don't have any proof. And what did you do? Did you crumble? Well, I mean, yeah, I probably started to yell or something like that. No, I don't know. I think I didn't crumple. I was already crumbled. Exactly. I am nothing but crumbs. You know, now it's mere erosion of the, you know, turning crumbs into smaller crumbs. Yeah, what is it? You know, if you're already like a like a gas, a gas is probably
Starting point is 00:05:42 the most something can crumble, right? The point at which it's a gas. I guess so. I mean, yeah, I don't know. I've never heard of a gas crumbling. How about this, Andy? You've heard of an apple crumble. What about an apple erosion? Right? And so the crumble, the chunks aren't big enough to crumble. It's essentially edible sand. It's silt. Yeah It's like silt and then and then the the erosion part comes when you you sit it down and it looks like you're cooling the pie But you set it down in front of a running fan Yeah, and then and then this the sand starts to blow away. And so it gives you, there's urgency, because you kind of want, you know, the crumble in an apple crumble or in an apple erosion
Starting point is 00:06:33 really contrasts from the extra sweetness of the apples. And softness, yeah. Yeah, and the softness. And you kind of need it. And so it gives you incentive. It's like a one of these, it's like a fast food, but it's made slowly. It's you've got to eat it fast. It's a, yeah, it's an urgent food. I think that's the difference. It refers to the state in which you are supposed to eat it.
Starting point is 00:07:03 You're also eating it on, I guess, a slowly rotating seat, so you will slide off onto the ground eventually. Why? Because the seat's rotating, is it rotating? Oh, yes. Is it rotating around a horizontal axis? Correct, Alast stay, yes.
Starting point is 00:07:25 I realize now how that was open to interpretation. I mean, you'll do more than slide off and probably be laying on the ground and then the back of the chair will probably end up pushing you along the ground. But then at some point, might scoop you back up. If you, maybe if your shirt gets caught on the back of this thing or something like that,
Starting point is 00:07:44 could pull you up I think that they That there are at least two sketch ideas here LSD if not three This is we've got the the first thing we said can't remember what that is now Chari the second thing we said that was good too and now now this one about the erosion, the apple erosion. Well, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:06 OK, so there was things before apple erosion. Have you not written anything down yet? No, no, Andy, I've written down apple erosion, but then I've written down the urgent food. You know, eat it before it disappears from the fan. But that's, you know, it's hardly a sketch, but it's almost something. But, OK.
Starting point is 00:08:24 But we've got the idea of the urgent food, which is a contrast to fast food. But did you write down about the person who gives compliments at business events and the people who check your bags on the way in, in case you've shop listed from somewhere else? Okay. I haven't, I've written down the guy at the business thing. Yeah. But not, but but the but not the person who checks your we're checking bags on the way in
Starting point is 00:08:49 now. Mm hmm. Well, I think it would more be the case of they check your bag on the way out and they find stolen goods in there and you berate them. You say that those were I'd stolen those before I came here. You know that they should have checked the bags on the way in. And it's not really the presence of stolen bags, the goods that you're checking for in my bag, is it? You're checking for a change in the number of stolen goods in my bag. You need to calibrate with a baseline. is standard you know scientific procedure we're looking we're entirely concerned with differentials and can I say your
Starting point is 00:09:34 double role as a greeter slash bag checker it really adds up to a negative of a kind act. Yeah. It really does, doesn't it? Like the hello or the nod of acknowledgement as you come in is more than canceled out by the show me your bags, prove to me you didn't steal from us. Show me you haven't stolen
Starting point is 00:10:04 because I know what's in your nature. It's in all your natures. That's right. Um, has nature ever stolen anything from you, Andy? Nature. Um, let's see here. Suppose, suppose maybe one of your, one of your grandparents. Yeah, I suppose natural causes. Oh my God. Yeah, you're right. But you know, nature, I guess your grandfather did used to steal from nature quite a bit.
Starting point is 00:10:36 Okay. If we, if we think to the, to the, to the, all the cost that he has caused. So it's it's it's fair. It's a fair call to protect. It's it's it's nice to have, you know, it's like I realized we haven't had a recurring gag on here for a while, but the slow, the slow and it's probably not just happened over this podcast. I think people would have to follow us on every podcast in order to see the actual escalation of this joke. But for me, it's been funny anyway.
Starting point is 00:11:20 I mean, I have said this before, once on this podcast, I believe, but I think it is amazing that we have so few running gags on this podcast that we have been doing this thing for this long and haven't managed to come up with a single joke worth repeating. I mean, some would say someone is that you could you could frame that in a positive way. You could say, oh, well, it's because they're creative and they don't need to lean back on repetitive gags.
Starting point is 00:11:56 But I think that's not entirely true. I think if we were to lean back on any of these gags, they like the seat that Mark Latham was sitting on at that conference, that right wing conference he was at, would fall backwards and make us fall off the back of the stage. I don't think any of our, we can lean back on anything. Sure. I have been thinking about doing that thing from the 400th episode as a bit of stand-up, about the horse powered airplanes.
Starting point is 00:12:32 I don't recall. You don't remember that? No. Well, I think maybe I was thinking it's like, you know, it probably is a good idea that, you know, like it probably is a good concept that ADHD is such a common thing in the world. Because in the like, because really, like, don't you think it would be bad if you heard people's ideas? Wouldn't you think it'd be bad if every person who had an idea went and like stuck to it and did it? Most of the ideas that have been done have been the cause of the destruction of the world.
Starting point is 00:13:05 Now that being said, here's what my idea is. Horse powered airplanes. I mean, think about it. Horses, they're a renewable resource, right? So that's great. And not just renewable, but every time they're renewed at least once every time they're renewed a Horse gets an orgasm You know so that's nice. So it's not just that it brings positivity into the world
Starting point is 00:13:33 right and the only difficult thing about it is Trying to hide from the people that were burning the horses Yeah, it's really good. Shuttling horses into the furthest. That's the only difficult thing. But apart from Grandfathers, what has nature taken anything from you? Let's see, my son fell into a lake But apart from Grandfathers, what has has nature taken anything from you? Have you ever? Oh, let's see what my son fell into a lake and his gum boots came off and sank to the
Starting point is 00:14:11 bottom of the lake. Then to the David Jones's Foot Locker, I suppose, you could say. Oh, my God, that's like that's like the necklace at the end of the Titanic. Yeah. Imagine if you think that somebody will have an expedition down to the end of the Titanic. Yeah. Imagine. Do you think that somebody will have an expedition down to the bottom of it and see if he can retrieve the boots? I think as soon as James Cameron gets so much as a whiff of this, I mean, they were blue boots as well. He loves blue things. We know that as well from the Avatar movies. This is basically tickling all these boxes.
Starting point is 00:14:48 Yeah, well, and because what was the name of the Titanic Gem that Nicholas called? The Heart of the Ocean. Some. Heart of the Sea. Yeah, the heart. Yeah, the heart of the ocean. I thought it was something, but I thought I had another name.
Starting point is 00:15:04 There's something de la M's something which I guess it would be La Cur de la Mer. I think that's probably it. Well, there you go. Now that you mentioned it, that is what we called my son's gumboots. Yeah. The heart of the sea or the feet of the sea. The gumboots of the sea. The gumboots of the lake. They don't make a sort of a rubber part of the body to cover the rest of it. Oh, I guess they do the raincoat.
Starting point is 00:15:40 God, this was a bad observation. Rubber gloves. I think the problem with the gumboot. I don't think there's any part of the body we haven't covered with rubber. Experimented with covering with rubber. The gumboot though is a little bit interesting because, hey? The balls, maybe not the balls. The balls. The balls?
Starting point is 00:16:00 Um. Uh, but like I think the the gum boot is odd in that by being a rubber boot, right? It does make itself like an upside down umbrella. And so it is both capable of protecting from liquid getting on the feet. It is also capable of carrying and storing liquid and carrying it with you. It's in there and it is open to the top as you point out so that that's where the rain that and that is indeed where the rain comes from. It's very much like the Singapore in World War Two of of clothes items where it's protected from the sea. But entirely vulnerable to having Japanese people ride into it from the north.
Starting point is 00:16:52 And I often have the same problem with my gumboots. I mean, I guess as soon as you're able to, the sea, you know, the enemy is able to reach you. And in this case, the sea is the enemy. Yes. You know? It's proven to be. To reach you and in this case the sea is the enemy. Yes You know it's proven to be I guess and if the Japanese had come by boat It was the very sea that was keeping them You know at the same level as you that would be the you know the the very thing that was protecting you was helping keep these Japanese people buoyant. Hmm, but they didn't they didn't come from that direction No, but I'm saying if
Starting point is 00:17:25 they had, I'm just thinking about it's a specular alternative history. I'm thinking about writing my own version of Inglorious Basterds, but it's about the Singapore thing. And instead of sort of killing Hitler at the end, the Japanese arrived by boat So the rest of the movie will just be them setting up, you know thinking oh well this Bobby will this will be fine We'll be able to run this out and then it is Alice there. What about this Titanic on a bus? Right, it's it's it's the movie Titanic because they did speed. The Titanic. They did speed. Oh, the second one they did on a boat. They said it on a boat. Now with Titanic, they've been looking for a way to do a sequel to that. Do it on a, in order for it to,
Starting point is 00:18:26 for the parallels to work, there would have to be little life cars that they have hanging off the side of the bus for people to try and get into when the bus is about to crash or has just crashed. They try to get everybody onto those little cars. Maybe they're in the middle of a big freeway with lots of other cars rushing past
Starting point is 00:18:48 and your chances of getting run over are very high unless you can get into another little car. Do you think there would be little go busts? I'm sorry? Do you think they'd be little go busts? You know, the, so cause like a go cart is like a small car. Okay. Right. And so a go bust.
Starting point is 00:19:12 Well, hang on. Why is there a T in there? Well, cause at the end of cart, there's a go cart. Right. But it's a small car. So you keep the word car in there. Your roof car, you put in bus. Oh, my God. You're completely correct, Alastair. And I can't.
Starting point is 00:19:31 I'm so ashamed that I didn't get on board with this as soon as you said the word. Illogical, your questioning. Disgraceful. Yeah, I think they have little go busts. Everybody onto a go bust and women and children first. I don't know but it should be men Yes, and animals first
Starting point is 00:19:57 Because it's it's on land Different rules great. I think instead of the band playing there should be a guy who's just sort of got a guitar and he's walking up and down the aisle of the bus and this in this one acknowledging how funny it would be for men and animals to get to go on the life boats I'm sorry Alice there let's take a moment and acknowledge. Let's bow our heads for a minute solids. Or better still a minute's laughter. I mean to think about this we're picturing like mothers with small, big, and caring
Starting point is 00:20:40 girls as they watch the Labrador. It's too like a, you know, like this could be a, it could be like a boat, it could be, you know, a small, you know, a safety thing. Any, any situation the fire, the fire department is helping people out of a burning building and they're guys handing like cages of birds and you know, a sort of a terrarium of rats. cages of birds and you know a sort of a terrarium of rats.
Starting point is 00:21:12 Now does one of the the rich selfish women on the on the bus? Does she try and disguise herself as say a box of ferrets or something like that in order to sneak on to one of the go busts? Yes, yes. Um, Bethany's Ayn. Bethany's Ayn!

Starting point is 00:22:09 Of course, it will. That's the name of the actor. That's the name of the actor. Yeah. Is Bethany's A. Yes. I don't know what the character's called, but we've come up with some great names for the actors. Speculative casting, right? You use like, I mean, you know, like somebody who is a casting director who casts people who don't exist yet.
Starting point is 00:22:35 And then he sends people out to make them and then raise them into these people. I mean, so like, because, you know, what's his name was really, was really praised for making that movie that took 20 years to film with it, you know, a kid growing up and things like that. Link later, Richard, link later. Link later, yeah. And then a lot of us, you know,
Starting point is 00:22:58 gonna find have trouble one-upping him, which is what we all obviously want to do. And so we have to go further back and we have to ask for two people to have sex with each other and then raise a kid in a particular way. Maybe either feed him a lot or feed him very little. You know, so he has a particular body shape that you want.
Starting point is 00:23:22 He has a very small kid. Maybe he'll have that tends to people. There's a series of influences in the early. Well, maybe we could. This is, you know, me planning a kind of a hyper realistic new rug rats film. That's great. You know, I don't know, a live, a live action rug rats film. And I want very specific kids that look a lot like the characters
Starting point is 00:23:48 in the in the cartoons and I want them to talk at that age as well. Yeah, I mean that is that is the next frontier I think and I don't think we call them casting directors at that point. I think we call them casting gods because they are casting you know, you, you, you might find yourself saying, I want a, an actor for this role who sort of looks like a cross between, let's see, Aubrey Plaza and uh, Harald from neighbors, right? And then the only way to achieve that is to convince the two of them to make love and bear a child.
Starting point is 00:24:36 That's right. What a beautiful child that would be. What a beautiful child. And uh, yeah, I think that's the that is absolutely the next frontier. They are giving out Oscars for casting now So it's gonna become a much more competitive field That's right. Yeah, I mean they're gonna start putting better and better people into films. Don't you think? Finally Yeah Yeah, finally there'll be some incentive. I Mean I wonder if they'll ever be able to find
Starting point is 00:25:05 an even higher caliber, you know, star. Then they'll- You know, do you think, then the ones that they have now, you know, like what do you think of this generation of like the Chalamets and the Zedanyas or Zedanyas? Well, sure, yeah, I mean, I'm sure they're they're they're pretty good. But it'll be like a basketball scouting. I think you'll have people going to, you know,
Starting point is 00:25:35 new countries and continents looking for. I mean, it's easy with basketball because you can sort of just look for really tall people, I think. But here you need to look for really compelling people. It'll be a, we'll make a movie called White Men Can't Act and we'll go to Africa and watch some amdram productions of the sound of the music. I think if you're thinking of that movie with Emilio Estevez, where he goes to Africa, he gets a guy, but I don't think that's White Men Can't Jump.
Starting point is 00:26:11 I think it's a different one. Really? If I combine two, oh, that's the air up there. Am I thinking of the air up there? The air up there. That's right. It's very wrong of me. Woody Harrison was in white men can't jump
Starting point is 00:26:26 Yes, and then and then they made a new one recently. All right. Well, then what's gonna be Carlo What's gonna be the pun name of the movie the air up there, but now it's about acting ability Yes, so the flair about acting ability. Yes. So the flair. I guess the. Oh, it could be the flair down there because maybe they go somewhere very low altitude. I don't think it was the high altitude in Africa that they were. Well, I think it might have been partially that. Really? I think it was a play on. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:04 Really? I think it was a play on. Yeah. Really? On maybe both. That's incredible. I'm not sure. Yeah, you might be right. I mean, there are some quite mountainous regions. I think that's why like Ethiopia and stuff like that are famous for having the runners that can run it. Yes. I think is Ethiopia high. I don't know that it is. Jamie, pull that up. It's a mountainous region. Okay, Ethiopia is part of Eastern Africa with a varied geographical landscape ranging from very low altitudes. Oh, dear, it's not looking good for you.
Starting point is 00:27:40 You know, a far triangle, a thousand meters below sea level, that is quite low. Two high altitudes in the Simeon Mountains, the highest peak in Ethiopia and fourth in Africa, in the Amahara region of the Gondor. Did you say a thousand, one thousand meters below sea level? Yeah, that can't be right. 4550 meters above sea level. But did you know check again? A thousand thousand below sea level. Yeah, I remember hearing about places like that like in Israel where people say that you don't have to wear sunscreen because there's just so much more atmosphere.
Starting point is 00:28:22 Wow. But it actually doesn't feel like it would be that much more compared to how much the sun already had to go through. The sun has had to go through so much. Man. I think about the sun. Oh, but I guess it is denser though. So it would be different.
Starting point is 00:28:41 Alastair, how are we going for sketch comedy ideas? One, two, three, four, five, Andy. You won't believe it. And today we got to try and do a short episode, right? We do. Yeah, we got to get out of here. So we got to get out of here. So we have three words from a listener, Andy.
Starting point is 00:28:56 You're not going to believe this. Three words from a listener. And this listener is Jim Little. Jim Little. Hi, Jim Little. Thanks for sending in your three words. And this this listener is Jim little Jim little Hi, Jim little thanks for sending in your three words. Thank you so much Jim little. I think this might be your first appearance And it is Jim Jim little's first appearance. Yeah Jim little has sent in three words from a listener, and I think it's from the listener Jim Little. Yep. Do you want me to guess them? Oh, if you could Andy, that would be so great.
Starting point is 00:29:32 Okay, the first word is upside down. It's hyphenated. Oh, Andy. No, but you did get the I in there and a D actually. But everything else, not me. The first word is midnight. Midnight, midnight. Okay, snack, midnight snack. Let's say midnight snack. Oh Andy, you've done well by being in the food realm.
Starting point is 00:30:06 So I mean, I could give you sort of like a hundredth of a point for that. But the word is more specific than that and you probably wouldn't have this as a snack. It's more of a meal. You know, it is a burrito. Midnight burrito. Midnight burrito bus, midnight burrito bus. No Andy, you're confusing the earlier Titanic idea that we had with this last word which is detective. Midnight burrito detective. It's a really good idea. I'd like to see a detective who you know you see a lot of detectives. Who's wrapped up in like a sleeping bag. really good idea. I'd like to see a detective who you know, you see a lot of detectives. Who's wrapped up in like a sleeping bag. You see a lot of detectives who have got a drinking
Starting point is 00:30:48 problem, but you don't see many of them who have a crippling addiction to burritos. Or a sleeping problem. I think there probably is some with a sleeping problem. Insomnia, it feels like it's a nice clean condition. One who falls asleep everywhere. Narcoleptic. I think that's a good idea. I mean the narcoleptic. What are those police ones that do drugs? Narcotics. Narcotics. Narcotic cop. Narcoleptic narc. He puts the narc into narcoleptic. Oh yeah, the narcoleptic narco. Yes.
Starting point is 00:31:31 It's a good idea. So he's always just about to arrest the bad guy and then he falls asleep every time. And as he's, yes. And that would be hard because it would make would make him more inclined to want to you know try the drugs that he's confiscating to keep him awake. Do you think they're uppers? I mean, there's a chance some of them are downers but You know he you know, it could be like his his Popeyes spinach You know soon as he has an upper, yes, he's very awake.
Starting point is 00:32:11 Wow. What an amazing flight of fancy. I can imagine people being intrigued to see what that's like. Well, I guess for him, it's not being unconscious, is the real thing, is the real achievement for him. Yeah. You know? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:34 That's impressive. I don't know why that would make him the best in the business, but I don't think, I mean, what about another kind of detective? I did have an idea. I don't know if I ever told you this idea, right? But it was for a detective who couldn't sleep, right? He had insomnia. So this was, he can't sleep, right? But he's actually, it turns out he's a sleep vampire, okay? And when he touches people who are sleeping,
Starting point is 00:33:06 he steals some of their sleep, but he also has their dreams, okay? So he can't sleep at all, but then he'll have their dreams. And so it's sort of across between medium and house or something like that, where he's trying to solve crimes and he uses these dream clues
Starting point is 00:33:27 to piece together the mystery. Oh yeah, so he gets a bunch of random images from a person that mean nothing. Well no, they mean something, they mean something. He's trying to piece together the imagery. There's always a cryptic level layer of meaning in there and that's how he's such a good detective because he's interpreting the dreams I mean the the tricky part is he has to sort of Get into come and into physical contact with that I guess the suspect or
Starting point is 00:33:59 Some of the key witnesses while they're while they're sleeping in order to get there and get their cream pail. And he has to touch them which might wake them. Yes. And would look bad for him if he does wake them. Yeah, I could imagine. I could imagine that looking bad. I mean, there could be another idea like this where it's a detective who isn't able to eat burritos because unable to eat burritos because he has, you know, particularly ones with the wheat tortilla because of the gluten intolerance. But he can touch people while they're sleeping and He can get that burrito's energy. Yeah, okay. So he spends a lot of time at like, at sort of, maybe he, you know, I mean, look, it wouldn't be crazy if he was, you know, hanging out rooms, CS to time in sort of like very touristy parts of Mexico. Yes. And touching a lot of sleeping expats.
Starting point is 00:35:16 It's great. It is a detective and he uses all that energy that he gets to solve crimes in this otherwise idyllic border town You know what I have never seen a kind of like detective-y type thing set in a hostel You know like things would go missing in a hostel And and there's like you know, there's always like some Recurring people, you know who kind of are more long-term stayers there they've decided to just remain living in this kind of public thing, but they've kind of got like a, they're in one of the dorms that's a bit, you know, for longer term people.
Starting point is 00:35:54 Yep. And then, and then there's the people who just come in and come out. There's some people who are there for a couple of months. There's, you know, and then there's the people who work there who have to do the cleaning, but also solve problems. I think it's a great idea. It's the hostile detective. And then he could be eating a burrito.
Starting point is 00:36:18 Yeah, great idea. I was thinking about a detective who will, you know, you might often after a big night out eat a burrito or something on the way home. Is it that kind of a thing? It's more of a kebab usually, isn't it? I've just realized I actually need, I actually need to leave. Need to leave. Yeah. Well, people will never know how good that idea was going to be. Andy, you just finish it.
Starting point is 00:36:46 Oh, I mean, I don't know how good it was either because I hadn't formulated it properly, but like the idea that like you come back after a big night out and you've got a, you know, half a burrito and he's a detective who will somehow investigate your previous night of activities based on this burrito clue. It's not, there's nothing. It's nothing, Alastair. Quick, take us through the sketch ideas very quickly, very quickly. It's a guy who goes to business powwows and mutters motivational words and compliments.
Starting point is 00:37:12 And we got apple erosion, the urgent food in contrast to a fast food. You eat it before it disappears from the fan blowing up. Anyway, it's stupid. Person who checks bags on the way in, no, I stole those from another Walmart. That's somebody saying that Titanic 2, the unsinkable bus. Oh man, I didn't write down just the, okay, we got casting gods for realistic new Rugrats film, but then I've got men and animals first Rescue racial detail. Oh Then we got sleep vampire detective we got burrito vampire detective and then I very I feel bad about writing this down But the hostile detective which is not really a sketch idea. I just said something and then, and then anyway, oh yeah, that could be something. And that's a perfect interaction as far as I'm concerned.
