20 types of lettuce, 20 types of lettuce,
20 types of lettuce, 20 types of lettuce,
20 types of lettuce, 20 types of lettuce,
20 types of lettuce, 20 types of lettuce, yeah.
Hello.
20 types of lettuce. And welcome to lettuce. Yeah. Hello. 20 types of lettuce.
And welcome to, to, to In the Think Tank.
To In the Think Tank.
To In the Think Tank.
The show where.
It's the new show.
We, and we always say we.
We come up with five sketch ideas,
but we never say who we is.
We is me, Andy.
Oh, and we, and I'm also we and I'm Alistair George William Trombley-Burchill.
We is me. Isn't that interesting that we is just an upside down me.
If you then turn the E back up the right way or if it's in capital letters you don't have to do anything at all. Capital letters, upside down, except for maybe change the shape of the M a little bit,
make it a bit more W-like.
I think that we should fix it, fix the alphabet, make the M an upside down W and just be W.
Finally, finally, I think, you know, we've been looking for what's going to be the spur
for a proper violent revolution.
That's what we are all looking for.
That's what we all are looking for the spur, a spur.
And maybe we just found it.
Maybe this is going to be what finally gets people onto the streets.
You know, we just need a cause. The little bump
that takes this super heated bowl of water into explosion mode and we all all start I'm gonna say stabbing and grabbing. Stabbing and grabbing I think is and
I'll stabbing and grabbing. Is that not already a term? It's amazing that
that's not already the slogan of a major corporation, you know, because you know how the capitalist machine,
how they love to...
Stab and grab.
I mean, in my... they love to adopt a subculture, you know, they love to appropriate the work
of the man, the common man, and use it to further their insane economic agenda.
And that's what's gonna happen with stabbing and grabbing.
And before you know it,
there'll be a new chain of convenience stores
called the stab and grab where all the food,
instead of being stored in fridges,
is stored in big bellies all around the sides of the store. And you go in there with your knife.
I mean often you forget your knife and you have to buy a new knife from the store and
that is really where they fuck you, where they get you.
But you go, you stab into the bellies, you slice them open, you're reaching, you grab
stuff out.
But the more expensive stuff, the more expensive stuff is still in a belly but it's put behind
a rib cage.
Oh yeah, that's right. I find that insulting. I'm sick of being treated like a criminal
when all I want to do is just cut open a gut and yeah now stab and grab.
Going down to the stab and grab. Convenience store. Yeah. I mean that would be great in
a rich neighborhood so that they could feel like they're stealing. Oh yeah. And then they
start getting worried because there's some hoodlums hanging around outside the Stab and
Grab and they're like, you know, and they're like, I think that somebody might actually steal from this place and not have it deducted from their credit card in that sort of Amazon store style.
Yeah.
That had all those people in Africa actually having to do all the work of counting up how much people were getting.
Wait, is that true?
Yeah.
Really? The checkout.
The cameras and stuff were not good enough.
Was in Africa.
And of course they wouldn't just trust it.
I guess deep down they would have to have people watching it and tabulating just to
make sure that the computer vision is correct.
And just make sure that the computer isn't on our side because that's what we always
assume is that when the computers rise up they're going to be on the side of the
either the the billionaires or on the side of themselves. What if they're on
the side of the worker? You know? That's right. That's what I'm
excited about. Absolutely, because they are themselves a worker.
I'm pretty sure that's where the word comes from.
Robot. Might be Hungarian for worker yeah welcome sorry my friend
Alastair is trying to swallow a billion ball during this episode of Doing the Big Tech
we didn't announce that that's the new concept.
And unfortunately, Andy, I just sunk the black first and I've lost.
Oh no.
You're out of the game.
It's alright. Well, you can do the rest of the talking for the rest of the episode
and I will set the balls up again.
But what about a stab and grab shop yeah but it's it's set up in a poor
neighborhood and people come in with knives and they start attacking the guy
who runs the store it's just a regular store and he's like no no no it's
stab and grab that's what I will do to you if you...
Try to steal anything.
If you steal from me.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
Oh my god, I am mortified.
That's the customer.
Oh.
Yeah.
I mean, and meanwhile the guy behind the counter who's bleeding to death on the floor, he says,
no, please, I'm mortified and everybody laughs
Mortified of course meaning no, I'm what I'm
mortified
Yeah, I mean the more there would really work exactly exactly mortified to be like, yeah, exactly deathly. Oh, yeah
That's why everybody's laughing right now. Oh, that's why I thought they just found it funny to see a man
There is the hat
There is that Andy um Andy how is the industry?
the industry
Yeah, the advertising industry. I mean it could be but it could be any industry
I'm just that's why I was trying to keep it open. Oh, that very nice of you, but then by saying the it felt like at the same time
You were really narrowing it down
You were using the in the general sense of the I
Was using the royal?
Is that what the is the feels like the royal the mmm it is isn't it because
you say I went to the shop which shop the shop you know you know the one I mean
which which King the King yeah so yeah I guess that because because I guess Which king? THE king! Yeah!
Yeah, I guess that... Because I guess there's lots of like kings and queens of like, you know, the prom and like, you know, the bean and sausage, you know, like festival or whatever and we'll have a king and queen.
They'll have a king, they'll be the sandwich king, it's just a shop somewhere.
Tell me, at the bean and sausage festival,
and when they crown the king and queen,
are you making it the king and queen of bean and sausages?
Or are you making it the king of sausage
and the queen of bean and sausages? Or are you making it the king of sausage and the queen of bean?
And that the two families are coming together? Or they were already sort of a couple, you know,
they ruled over different parts of the sausage and bean kingdom. They had separate kingdoms,
then they're bringing those kingdoms together. I'm so glad you asked. Or do you think they're
just brother and sister and they're just marrying each other?
They're brothers or brother and sister.
Okay.
Well, obviously the queen of bean is right up there with the most fun things to say in
the world. So I want to preserve the integrity of the Queen of Bean.
And the King of Sausage is less, you know, linguistically as a phrase, it contains less
inherent beauty, but I think that just serves to highlight the ugliness of the concept of
a sausage king and in a way that actually makes it even more
painfully beautiful because we know it I think it makes us realize how we how far we are have
strayed from God as individuals and as a people. So do you think that he has a direct voice to the sausage God? I think he is divinely chosen from the sausage God.
And while all the sausages in his sausage kingdom,
he regards them as being cut from a chat, you know, chain of sausages.
And also he's just one chain. Well, no, no, no.
He would seize them as the people in the chain as being cut from sausages,
but he sees himself as being sort of divinely created by God as a single sausage, not part
of a chain of sausages.
And I think that's, you know, he probably doesn't have, I guess what in the sausage
world, I mean the sausage, in the sausage world they've've got I guess sort of two belly buttons don't they the sausages
from the two sausage world has two belly buttons one that investigates the crimes
these are their stories.
Ivy, that's a really good idea. What if your belly button was a detective?
And that would really tie into our thing
about I've got a gut feeling.
This is really good.
Okay, it's called, this TV show is called
Sanderson and Gut, right?
He's a detective, okay okay who is in a terrible
accident okay and his with his partner his partner is almost almost dead okay
but they were able to save his partner his wife no no no no great question
thank you for checking no it's his it's his, it's his,
Not like a business partner in like a,
No, no, no, it's not that. It's his,
A donut store they own.
It's his crime investigating partner, his partner on the police force.
But I should point out that his partner on the police force is also his wife.
And they do own a business together. So actually in a way I'm sorry for correcting you
because you were right every time you asked the question.
And I love that in the title of this show
his wife's name is Gut.
Well that is her name.
She's Swedish.
Yeah, Sanderson and Gut.
Oh yeah, of course.
But in the accident, the only way they're able to save his wife is they're able to save
her mouth, her brain, and her gut. No, not even her microbiome and her mouth only by transplanting her gut
microbiome into his gut and by drafting her mouth on where his belly button would have
been.
Okay.
And now he's the only cop with two guts.
Exactly.
Right? And his gut can talk now because it's got her mouth there
her beautiful
Amazing that's beautiful mouth
This is like that tale of that king with a lion's heart. Mmm, or the horn so that if you go
Yeah, but you know how he had two hearts he had a his own heart and a lion's heart so that if he got
Killed or if his heart got stabbed then he still had another heart that was gonna and so this one if his if for some reason
Interpreted he's got a story or something Richard Lionheart. Is that what's happening?
Yeah, if he's got gastro or something like that, he still has another gut. That's really healthy
That can still do the detective work
Still go to work sick. Exactly. Oh, he's in many ways he's the perfect cop because...
Yeah, oh, I love Sanderson and Gutt. And then you, because you get all those levels as well about
what they're like at home when they're off the clock. Yeah. You know?
And also what it's like when they're dealing with their employees at the doughnut shop.
And they, you know, and they use their guts to determine new flavors for the donuts as well.
Oh wow, that's really nice.
It's so good that she can still eat her favorite food, donuts.
Donuts.
And humble pie when she's wrong about the guilty party in a criminal investigation.
Partners in love, doughnuts and justice.
Yeah, that's really, and they share a physical body.
Maybe business.
And they share a physical body.
Thank you so much.
And she speaks out of the belly button. So
does he wear a sort of a crop top a lot? Or does he wear like a...
A police issue crop top. Yeah, I think so.
She's in his belly button. Hmm.
It's going to be a really nice scene where they go to the bar together.
I mean they go everywhere together but they go to the bar together at the end of an investigation.
They're both drinking a beer and he's pouring a beer into his mouth and into his wife gut
mouth.
Yeah, especially as they scull them.
Those are like when they're like,
they, you know, like, let's say like another partner,
you know, but this time just a, you know,
just a justice partner, another cop,
and maybe a guy who does some of the delivery
for their donut place.
You know, so he passes away and then they go, you know,
like to Sam's and like that, and they're having one of those Irish wakes and they're drinking they go, you know, like to Sam's and like that and they
they're having one of those Irish wakes and they're drinking a lot, you know, and
they're and he's sculling a beer like this but he's got another beer with his
other hand up against his belly. Yeah. Like that and it's just like it's, you know,
sloshing on his pants a little bit but it's also being drunk. Well, I mean, or is it funnier, is it funnier?
At the moment I do love everything about it right now.
In fact, right now to me, it's perfect.
Okay. Yeah.
But is it better if she survives the accident
and it's his gut that is grafted on
and mouth onto her belly.
And then we can have sort of a normal, you know,
a sort of, I was gonna say a normal woman,
but like just, you know, she's got this,
I guess like a hairy man gut now
of like your classic big cop.
And you know, that'd be funny to see her running around
with her big hairy cut belly.
Yeah, big belly.
I mean that does add a bit more visual, a bit more visual stuff.
I think that could be really good.
So Sanderson could be a woman's name.
That's right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I think we taught the audience a little something about...
I mean, it really should be
Sandra Daughter.
Oh!
You know, but that's okay.
Andy, I'm 100% on board, and I think it would be
really great, because when you show the other one talking,
the one who's in the gut, you can just make up a fake gut
and have the person's mouth
Put into oh wow
We're not doing this with CGI
We're not CGI
No, this would be I mean like not even using complicated regular times
And Andy I think that in regular times. We just have a few different mouths that we just stick to the thing. Oh that's good, stick to the
belly and they're just, I love that we're doing this for real and then yes we have
somebody pop their head up inside her big gut thing. Yeah we just we get a
couple of latex guts that we can do close-ups on that we can put our mouths through.
Yeah.
And and then Andy this is such a good show.
I mean this is going straight into a strange unit unit.
I mean this could this could be who they are. This is just could be a strange you know this could be strange unit unit. I mean, this could be who they are. This just could be strange.
This could be strange unit unit.
Who better to investigate somebody with a high tolerance
for the oddities, for the quirky?
Who better than a person with their husband or wife implanted in their
belly button?
You know, once this becomes a big, a sort of pretty commonplace procedure to have in
these kinds of situations, you know, like a terrible cop partner death accident situation.
It'll be happening all the time.
But you know, the most mortifying thing in the world
suddenly will be when you see a woman
you haven't seen for a while at a party
and you go up and you place your hands on her belly,
you think it looks a bit big and you say, oh my god, commiserations on the death of your policing partner who's been
had their big distended belly grafted on to yours so that they can live on.
Of course.
And then they say, what?
What?
That's my partner over there
They point their partners over there
I'm pregnant
Nah, I'm not even pregnant
I'm not even pregnant
I'm not even pregnant
Yeah
That's...
Uhhh
It's just your belly button
looks so much like a mouth and your big man belly is so hairy.
I'm mortified.
Sorry about that.
Sorry about that.
And by mortified, I mean they're dying.
The amount of things that that will do for society in terms of like, you know, know making allowing people to just let their
bellies go yeah driving because yeah us towards a utopia what about a u torpedo yeah that's not quite
enough let's see I mean it is you shame that pure top utopia dough with our utopia dose
Torpedoes your torpedo
The military industrial complex must be
Just champing at the bit because they did so well getting normal people to buy guns You know you're never gonna make your maximum amount of money just by selling guns to the military sure you make a lot
But you always want a little bit more
You know by selling guns to the military. Sure, you make a lot, but you always want a little bit more.
But they must be going through all the other weapons
that they make and being like,
how can we make a version of this for just regular people?
And I imagine cracking the torpedo brief,
the domesticated torpedo brief is one of those,
that's one of the white whales in weapons marketing in, you know, how do
we get people, how do we convince? I mean do you think, do you think that this
thing with like beating, you know, like that Bashar, Assad coming, you know,
getting toppled, do you think, you know, getting toppled.
Do you think, you know, I think big weapons manufacturers would get on the back of that,
you know, always just start their advertising spree with like, you know, showing that some
of their missiles probably were involved in that.
And that's how you then say, well, look, we bring in utopias. We assume that the new people who come
in are obviously going to bring in a utopia. I don't see why not.
There's people filling in a power vacuum. Yeah, you know who rushes into that power vacuum?
utopias utopiarists mmm so
you know just by this you know this is the model that they use to
free the people of them thank you mother
the to free the people of the the model
topito Syria yeah yeah I don't know
but not that I mean quite though the perfect but but you know, then you're right, you know, maybe it could be
then you can start marketing it to to regular folks as
You know to topple the dictator in your life. I mean, what if somebody breaks into your house?
This is where you sell them. What if somebody breaks into your house in the middle of the night and starts bossing you around yeah that's
true then a torpedo for the regular Joe yeah or Jane mm-hmm
or do you think
that someone... Sorry, I'll just finish this. That would be if the person who breaks into
your house also floods it. That's why you need a torpedo that you can fire through the
flooded waters of your house and shoot them in the legs.
Go on Alistair.
No, I mean you're right. I mean the easiest way into the market... Anyone knows how powerful urges can be it's me catch Dexter Morgan in a new serial killer origin stories
I'm hungry inside of you. It needs a master featuring Patrick Gibson Christian Slater special guest star
Sarah Michelle Geller with Patrick Dempsey and Michael C. Hall as Dexter's inner voice. I wasn't born a killer
I was made Dexter original sin new series now streaming exclusively on paramount plus a mountain of entertainment
New series now streaming exclusively on paramount plus a mountain of entertainment
Is through farmers
Yeah, if you can find a reason that farmers would need it they go. Okay. Well, we'll give licenses to them Yeah, we'll let that's not me. Do you have anything won't we?
Yeah, oh we've got to have these machine guns because farmers might need them.
Oh okay that's why everybody gets to have a fucking combine harvester. Driving combine
harvesters up and down the road you can't stop them because farmers need them. Because they need them. Might need them. Yeah.
And the other way in, the other way in is through
the same way that sort of marijuana gets a foothold
and to become legalized is first you make them available for people with medical conditions.
Really good.
This is how you push open the envelope.
And if you can make it for farmers with medical conditions,
you are a laughing buddy.
Yeah, so you make a torpedo that's available
for people who can't, you know, get, you know,
like they can't go up steps or whatever like that.
And so you just blast the wall out of the way and just create a big, you know, a
big flat area.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, you know, you know Alastair that a torpedo is a, is a water missile.
I know Andy, but you're telling me that they don't have a torpedo that can do, that can
do missile stuff.
That can do both. You're telling me they don't have an torpedo that can do missile stuff? That can do both.
You're telling me they don't have an amphibious torpedo?
You're telling me they don't have a crawler
that crawls, drags its bomb body,
it's got little legs and it drags itself out
up the beach?
The lungfish of torpedoes.
I mean in a real utopia door you utopia door the fuck I can't say
utopia or dough I can't say it I can't say I've never been able to say, and please don't make fun of me for this, I've never been able
to say utopia or no.
Utopia or no.
Yeah, I mean in a real utopia, the torpedoes can do everything.
Yeah, that's right. You know, I mean, there's no reason why you couldn't
fly a torpedo around as a mode of transport. A lot of those things are,
I mean, they're an airplane essentially. Yeah. They're a small airplane. Yeah.
You know and
they look like they're built just for one. It's the motorcycle of airplanes.
And you never have to work out how to land them.
I mean, that's probably, if you're somebody
who likes airplanes, but you don't have that patience,
that sort of attention to detail,
to be fucking around with all that landing stuff.
You must be drawn to the torpedo.
And Andy, imagine this.
If you were trying to create a plane that you didn't need to land, right?
Something to cushion that incredible speed at which you're heading towards the ground,
what you would do is create a huge opposing force going from the ground
upwards correct, which would be an
explosion
Yeah, and so you will probably hit the ground and then just just stand and then you'll just have the
Arrive at the ground the explosion will cushion your fall and then you will just put your feet down and stand up like nothing
Yeah, less than nothing. Yeah, and it's a self it's a self
airporting because what
What form of transport because what do you need to have a safe landing, you know?
Airport you need a big flat area without any high buildings. Well, that's what this does
It flat it flattens rid of any high an area
Yeah
I mean if you took out some of the fire and explosions
You'd basically have the perfect landing cushion this what we're um, what we are
Uh inventing here Alastair is torpedo punk or bomb punk or maybe even gun punk. It's a world where all our technology is based around the gun, I'm gonna say.
We use guns for everything and so you your car is a big gun with wheels
that fires bullets out the back and that's what gives you propulsion to move
along because you look at the gun yeah sure the bullet goes forwards but what
do you notice the person gets that recoil what if we like when they
selectively bred the the broccoli to make the florets really big.
What if we selectively breed guns
just for bigger and bigger recoil?
Suddenly.
A gun with a dick.
Go on.
I'm just picturing breeding the guns.
Oh, okay.
But a gun with a dick, I mean, you could...
Probably there will be those because our sex toy industry will be also gun-based in the gunpunk.
Again, I'm going to say utopia that we are envisaging.
And maybe people will live in guns. What is the chamber, but
not a bedroom? I mean, that's...
From retiring to the chamber.
Yeah. And there'd be a big sort of revolving... Is there another word for that?
Oh, revolving.
Chamber thing? Barrel?
That's not the barrel.
But you know, you revolve those things around, they click into place, you slide into your
circular bedroom.
I do love that.
All the bedrooms that you can, they're like, they're not accessible to the door.
Only one is accessible to the door at all times.
Yeah, kind of a little roulette kind of situation.
And that's kind of a little roulette kind of situation. Yeah. And that's kind of fun.
I guess that's the alternative to the elevator
because at the moment the bedrooms,
or the buildings in an apartment building,
the rooms all stay in the same place
and the people go up and down.
What if the rooms moved?
What if the whole building went up and down?
To like, if skyscrapers building went up and down?
Like if skyscrapers just went up and down like a piston and you could get on any floor.
I would love that.
They go down into the ground and then they go to the Empire State building, slowly grinding
up into the sky on its ancient gearing system.
So that you get into your ground floor apartment.
But I suppose if it was on a set of springs
and so the energy that you put to bring it down
is stored back in it to bring it back up.
Absolutely.
You're basically not using any energy at all.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, once again, I don't know what they're, I don't know what they're waiting
for.
I don't know why.
We've I mean, we've been saying this for seconds now, and I'm not seeing any.
Why are we not seeing this?
Any action?
I mean, part of it is that I can't I don't have access to a window here.
But well, that's it could be happening right now. Yeah
I'm like I do have access to a window
I have I always carry a small window with me in my pocket everywhere we go
Yeah, a pocket window and I just just looking it out now
There we go. Just looking through it and...
Look, what do you see?
Nothing.
Any construction?
No, no, these...
Any people delivering plans to some kind of investor
or something like that?
See anybody talking looking like they're pitching an idea
to somebody who seems rich.
Nothing, nobody is running out into the streets
even saying they've cracked it, they've finally cracked it.
Well they wouldn't because we are the ones who cracked it.
Andy, do you think that, you know, after the-
Well yeah, they're saying they've cracked it,
they've cracked it.
Alastair.
Yeah, they've cracked it, yeah.
You fucking, do you even listen?
Do you even listen?
Andy, Andy, Andy, Andy, listen to me. Listen to me.
Do you think that somewhere, right, in some chat forum, you know, somewhere, there's currently people who were,
because of this guy getting shot,
United Healthcare CEO?
Yeah, and then people seeing how famous this guy who?
Attacked the CEO guy. Do you think there's a lot? There's a form full of potential school shooters
That are currently thinking
All this is not where like the the school shooting industry is done. You can't you can't even
Get name recognition anymore
from this kind of thing.
There's no point.
You're just a drop of piss in the ocean.
But in the CEO attacking things,
they're like, this is where it's at right now.
It's a goldmine.
Anyway, there's no sketch I did.
Obviously, that's what we hope happens, right?
Cause I'm not-
None of this is chat for a public forum, is it?
I'm not encouraging, well, hang on, let's see.
Cause I'm not encouraging people to murder CEOs, right?
No.
You know...
Can I hear you winking, Andy?
Is that...
Is that a hard...
...eye?
Sounds like a butterfly kiss.
But I, and I don't think you know, if people took me to task for suggesting
that you know I'd say fair enough, fair enough. But I don't think anybody is out there saying
that it's better that school children be shot than CEOs. That's true. Yeah, I mean that's the thing is this,
if you're saving the lives of school children,
gosh, I mean, that's all we're saying
is that we're pro saving the lives of school children.
That is the only thing that we could morally say is 100%.
They just have so much ahead of them.
So, something to think about. Morally say is a hundred percent. You know, they just have so much ahead of them. Yeah, and
Yeah, so
Something to think about look I'll just write that down as a sketch idea, which is save school children
Really good a school saving
Friends lives. I mean if you can save the school at the same time, that's amazing. But of course, what if you're trying to land your utorp-your-dome?
I can't say that word!
I can't say it!
What about this?
Alastair, is it okay if I suggest we go to the words from a listener?
Is that okay?
Andy, it's absolutely okay.
You were about to say something, but
No, no, no, no. No. I was about to say Andy
Did you know that we have listeners and some of those listeners are called Braden Douglas?
That's true. We've never been fully able to determine how many of the listeners are called Braden Douglas, but we know that some of them are
There's definitely some Braden Douglas's a
that some of them are. There's definitely some Braden Douglas's.
A number of Braden Douglas's are contacting us on Discord
and writing messages that we enjoy reading.
Absolutely.
As well as the messages from all the non-Braden Douglas's
that are on there as well.
Thank you, I'm so glad you said that.
I'm so glad you said that because I...
Yeah, I would hate for the non-Bradon Douglases.
I don't know how many non-Bradon Douglases there are.
It could just be one.
But if that's all it is, then that's enough and we appreciate them. Yeah and today one of the Braden Douglas's has sent in many months ago
three words from a listener. Yep. And which listener do you think that is?
Which listener do you think that is? I think it could be one or all of the Braden Douglas's.
Right.
Now, do you know, I'm related to a Douglas, but not through blood, but there is a Zane
Douglas.
Braden, let me know if you know that you're related to any Zanes.
All right.
A kayaking Zane.
All right.
Now Braden says in his or their message, depending on how
many there are, and I know there's at least one guy in there, I have one more
taken directly, I think as he is sending in many, directly from a Brisbane City
Council standard drawing for a bus stop that I saw today. Now that's all I'm going to tell you Andy.
Okay.
That's more hints than I've almost ever given you.
Yeah.
Oh, but I'll give you one more hint.
And I do normally give you this hint.
Before you say your first word, Andy, think.
Okay.
Okay.
First word is standard.
Oh no Andy, no the first one is read.
Read.
R-E-A-D.
Okay.
This is not one of those bus reads that you use to play the bus stop.
No, the second word is buses.
Read buses.
No Andy, read door read door
handle read door handle hmm let me have a look oh sorry Andy it's not handle, but you did get this third
letter correct It is
read doors zone read
door
Zone
Wow
Of course the obvious first thing that we're gonna discard is
You know, it's a, it's a,
obviously some kind of alternate universe where instead of books, they just have
written things on doors.
Well, I mean, it is, isn't it, it is interesting, isn't it, that really the
book is an application and a refinement of door technology, I think.
I mean, it really is a door, a Door that you just keep open. Yeah. Yeah
I mean if it was a door it would be one of them because did you imagine a door a book door?
Where you keep opening it and then you got to flip through
Sort of 300 doors before you can actually get inside get inside. Yeah. Well, that would be good
You could put all the terms and conditions
for the building on those. Take off your shoes. Yeah. You know, no shoes on the carpet. No
shoes on the carpet. Leave your shoes outside. Shoes not to be worn. Don't put any plastic
things in the microwave. In the shoes not to be worn in the microwave. Yeah, all the places shoes are not allowed to go you list them on the doors.
Yeah, now of course we're discarding that idea.
Oh, okay. That's a shame.
I mean, oh is it?
Well I just like that idea.
Okay, book.
Okay, you're right, book door.
A book is just a, what is it, book. Book. Okay, you're right.
Book door.
Book is just a... what is it?
Many pages.
It's kind of like a door computer or something.
A book is a door.
It's if you made a building, but you made it entirely out of doors, right?
And you just keep opening doors, it, solid doors all the way through.
And you keep opening doors all the way through.
Solid doors all the way through, okay.
Sliding or sort of, or they open in an arc?
I'm not sure. I guess they'd have to be sliding, wouldn't they?
And then you just keep opening them until you're out the other side.
And do you close them behind you?
I guess you close them behind you as well.
Could you make rooms? Could you make...
Could you slide some of them outside and onto the outside of the building and make the building wider?
I think yes. I think yes. And then you know those things that are
made. It's just a bunch of doors on wheels. Yeah that's right. You'll try it.
Uh, yep.
My brain is shutting down now. I'll, I
the doors on wheels building is what did it.
I think it is.
Yeah.
I think the challenge of envisaging that, um, yeah, has,
but, but you got a picture of the architect who thinks that this was the best idea.
Yeah.
I want to, you know, and, and, and people that are doing a sort of a, by the architect who thinks that this was the best idea. Yeah, I wanna tap into his psychology.
And people that are doing a sort of a YouTube mini
documentary on him and about how he was a visionary.
He saw that buildings don't have to be tied down.
He was driving past, he was driving past a caravan park, a trailer park, and he realized that a house doesn't
need to be tied down.
But then he said, what is a wall, but if not just an unopenable door?
You know?
See how he's thinking outside of so many boxes?
He's thinking outside of so many boxes? Yeah. He's thinking outside of so many boxes.
Maybe it's the purest form of architecture is door architecture and making and as such,
you know, refining it down and realizing that that could be all you need to build a house
and build a house entirely out of doors.
You know, I picture that's something that an architect would do after having a breakdown.
And then they go away and they come back.
Unfortunately, he married his first cousin. And people didn't accept that in this modern
day. He would say, Einstein did it. Einstein did it.
He said well the roller door building is not it's not relativity
You invent one if you change every time you change physics
Fundamentally change your understanding of the universe you get to marry one cousin
Oh, maybe that should be the real Nobel prize
the person the person, the Nobel Prize is a first cousin. Yeah you get to marry a first cousin. And not Alfred Nobel's first cousin. No. Your first cousin. Oh imagine the progress we'd get. Imagine how. How.
Imagine the utopia in which we would live.
And if you get a theory of everything, you can do a sibling.
Oh, wow!
Wow!
And we will turn a blind eye to it.
Congratulations.
Oh, that's big.
You can, you don't even have to tell us about it.
This is, and we won't ever mention it.
Yeah, we won't.
And if anybody does, we'll kill them.
We'll kill them.
That's what we'll do for you.
Just to give you some,
a bit of a drive.
This is a, I think that's a very good idea.
It's very funny.
All right.
Just suggest that that's all scientists,
all they really want.
That's why.
That's why they do what they do. That's why Einstein did it.
Bees do it.
That's what all the others are searching for.
Let's marry a sibling.
All right, Andy, we've got to wrap it.
I'm going to take us through the, we got the stab and grab convenience store both types
Yes, we got Queen and King of the bean and sausage festival. I am
We got Sanderson and got yeah
Which is you know, she or he is in their belly button. Yeah, and their partners in love business and justice
Utopia though oh wow torpedo for the regular
Joe yeah we got the missile slash torpedo slash gun based on a weight we
got the missile slash torpedo based landing cushion we did have a sort of a
gun gun based weight gun, gun, what's it, gun punk.
Ah, gun punk, yeah.
Then we have save school children's lives,
that's another idea that we had.
Yes.
And we don't know exactly how to do that,
but there was some idea floated I don't quite remember.
We have book door, many pages with building terms.
Then we got roller building architect married his cousin.
Wasn't accepted.
Accepted like Einstein.
And then we have of course theory of,
if you come up with a theory of everything,
you get to marry a simple price okay
everything's gdl d with you everything a J. Solid in many ways. And we love.
Love, thank you for listening.
Oh, wait, no!
Can I plug some things?
I'm sorry.
Yeah.
