Please welcome Matt's yours.
Yes.
Who, Matt, Matt, are you feeling,
Come sit down.
Are you feeling like you've just not slept very well
and then you traveled on a plane for a very long time,
bring that closer to you yes yeah yeah i can i can i can i can sense that from you you're not a morning
no i've had two morning two six am alarms in a row and i'm fucked we're allowed to swear on this
yeah yeah you can swear on this thing okay yeah you love it yeah a morning guy in the morning
what if you what if your life became you only had to you could only have mornings
oh i mean i love mornings yeah well you love them i love them i just not
As an idea.
As an idea, it's fantastic.
Birds are singing.
Yes, big fan of mornings.
Jew on the grass.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sun's really low in the sky.
The shadows.
They're long.
Oh, yeah, and before the city really gets going.
How early is your favorite time of morning that you don't want to experience?
Well, we're talking about savings.
Sure.
Because I just came from Brisbane.
They don't believe in that there.
I know, and they're crazy.
Everybody's up super early there.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
And I didn't, I was only wearing songs up there,
which I tend to do most of the time down here.
Do.
Down here, people, they'll point it out as like,
what are you doing?
But up there, they go, I love that you're doing that.
Did they actually say that, or do they not comment at all?
No, no, they commented a lot.
They said, I love you're settling into the life up here.
And down here, we're kind of a little bit disgusted by it.
Yeah, yeah.
And so there's nowhere you can go.
This is, I mean, while you enjoyed getting the compliments,
there's nowhere you can go where you're free of comments about your feet.
Yeah, I guess maybe Sydney would be that because it's sort of halfway between.
It's between the two where people don't look at your feet.
Yeah, I guess.
They're ambivalent.
Yeah.
They're like, you know, do you.
We're not happy.
We're not sad.
Yeah.
We don't think about you at all.
Is there a sketch idea in any of this?
I don't know.
I mean, I'm interesting, like, for you, is it, is it,
Is there any part of you wearing thongs, which is a little bit of peacocking?
Or is it completely you just expressing yourself and being yourself?
Or is there a part of where you're like, you know what?
Part of my aesthetic is being a guy who wears thongs.
And it makes me a more well-rounded, complex, interesting character.
I'm not accusing you of being performative in any way.
I'm asking, are you?
A performative thong wearer.
What if what?
I mean, I think it's the same.
It's the same with, well, I've got a beard.
It's just, it's easier.
And it feels like having a beard is some sort of performance, I guess.
But it's just, I don't have to shut.
All the chins are stage.
I've always said it.
I don't have to shut.
We are all but hairs dancing upon the great, hmm.
Oh, sorry.
No, I had nothing.
What was that, Shakespeare?
Yeah, I was trying.
That was fantastic.
Were you writing new Shakespeare?
Yeah, I thought I'd write some new Shakespeare.
Oh, that's cool.
There's a new one.
That would be great.
There's a new Shakespeare.
Yeah.
They're rebooting Shakespeare, and Andy's writing them.
It's weird, because I get confused in my head between, not the concepts of the things,
but the words Shakespeare and Sherlock Holmes.
Some reason.
Oh, man, they're old.
They're English.
They've got a nest in them.
Yeah.
And an age.
And I saw that new Shakespeare, they did it right away.
New Sherlock Holmes being written still.
Yeah
Right
So then why can't
We'd be writing new shakes
Yeah
Why not
I mean
And why can't we write
Shakespeare homes
Which is the bard
Solving Crime
It's a really good idea
All right
I love it
Yeah
And I guess he's banging a lot of people
Yeah
I mean is he
Is he investigating
Like
You could do like a thing
Where like
It's Macbeth
Macbeth is murdered
Is it Duncan
He's murdered Duncan?
Is there a guy called Duncan
Yeah he's the king
I think he's the king
that Macbeth murders
but then it's Shakespeare
who goes to investigate
wouldn't that be beautiful
because like
in Sherlock Holmes
the conceit is that
Watson is writing the books
right
they're from his journals or whatever
but he's going along
with Shakespeare to investigate
with Sherlock Holmes
to investigate it's harder than it looks
harder than it looks
but what if we
in our retro history
or whatever
Shakespeare was the investigator
who'd gone along to
investigate the murder of Duncan and then maybe even in the hamlet the things that inspired his
story exactly based on the real crimes all his stuff was ripped from the headlines yeah yeah but
maybe it was like law and order SVU yeah but maybe we find out that he's actually the he's actually a
murderer he's actually like yeah yeah actually so we find out like oh he seems like he's the thing
but then we find out he's a little bit of dexter going on in there yeah and then he writes
then he writes the then he writes the stories to kind of solidify the
narrative. And it also, he's able, because he's committed the crime, who better to
solve it? You know, he's like, oh, look at these clues. Oh, I found a clue. I found a dagger.
In my hand. In my hand. I mean.
It was before fingerprinting. There's no way of knowing that my fingers have touched this
dagger. I know, but also it's like, you know, being able to write good narratives for like
motivations for why people are killing these people as well. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, look, I've written
up what I think it will be.
He saw some witches in the forest who told him that he should do it.
And then a ghost was pursuing him.
And, yeah.
There was a spot.
Yeah, there was a spot.
Would not get out.
I mean, and what a great opportunity for a bit of product placement there.
You know, she then goes Ajax.
Yes.
You know, imagine we could go back in time and we could convince Shakespeare to write Ajax spray and wipe into that famous out-dam spot scene.
I mean, this is a new front.
in advertising, right?
The first thing we do.
We pay the estate of Mr. Shakespeare
$600 million.
Okay.
And then they go and they change the official manuscripts.
Oh, I thought we were traveling back in time,
but if you want to do it...
Oh, yeah, I mean, we can go back in time.
We could use that.
No, no, look, look, go back in time is better.
Thank you.
Is that okay?
Now, Andy, you were rewriting Shakespeare before.
Can you rewrite the Ajax, Brian White?
jingle
Oh
To be about Macbeth
That one
That whole
Wipe works fast
Oh yes
Before that it's like
The mum and dad
It comes over or something
Yeah
The mother-in-law
I think
And there's a bit
Where she looks like
A bulldog
In that ad
Remember she has the face of a bulldog
Do we have this conversation
Recently?
Because it's so fresh in my mind
I loved that ad
Yeah
I don't remember the words
Unfortunately
It's very catchy
Yeah
I did start writing down
Something before
I think the idea that, because, you know, Matt was mentioning,
it keeps the beard because it's easier,
doesn't wear shoes because it's easier.
That is honestly why.
It's his shit full where he stands.
It's just all the socks and boots.
Oh, my God.
I'm inside most of the time.
So when people are like, oh, it's winter in your own thongs in Melbourne,
it's like, yeah, but I'm not out there.
You think of them as an outside shoe, right?
But you wear them inside.
And actually it makes so much more sense that they be inside.
Yeah.
They're just like wearing,
It's like slippers.
Like slippers, I can see that's making a real statement.
As long as they're a normal summertime shoe, no one's pointing it out.
Hang on.
Please, welcome to the show, Serran.
Thank you, Serren.
Thank you for bringing this.
We owe you a tremendous amount.
About $4.95.
Thank you very much.
But what is the easiest lifestyle you possible?
could have where you, I mean, this is a guy.
He's the easy lifestyle guy.
So is he wearing a moo-moo?
Oh.
You know, he's got hair.
Like what, like what, because each thing eliminates something that you need to do, right?
Yes.
You're, I guess you're pooping where you stand like a horse.
Is that what you said before?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You don't cook your food, I suppose.
You just eat everything raw.
Maybe you chew through the bag.
Of what?
even aren't whatever the food is
is in. Food's in
comes in bags, right? Yeah, like a bag of oats.
Yeah, a bag of rice. Like a horse.
Yeah. Are we
inventing horses? A horse is just lazy
guys. They've got long hair.
They don't even stand up on two legs.
This is huge.
They don't even buy them. Their shoes are nailed
on.
Horses are just lazy guys.
why the long face
they don't even trim their face
they don't even there you go thank you
what a joy to have you
thank you pleasure to be
did you just fly back as well from Queensland
thank you very much
did you did you enjoy the time
the yeah yeah it's lovely
how'd you guys show go
needs work
yeah yeah yeah it was fun
yeah it was pretty fun
it was like new material stuff
Yeah, any of that new material
Not going to work for you guys
But would work in a sketch setting
I mean, there was
I think maybe
Because we were setting up
And this group
Who were on a mad Monday
Like rugby, local rugby players
Who were all like six foot five
Big buff guys
But they're all dressed in like
A few of them was like adult babies
You know with nappies on
Nons
We've already had a bit of adult baby content today, but we're very well-looking to go to the well.
I think it was so funny to me because it was clearly their first venue, so they're all sheepish.
Oh, they hadn't had to drunk much, but they were already as the adult baby.
They look still like the maniacs that you're used to seeing on a mad Monday later in the day, but they're all sort of...
You're like, sorry, and they walk into our venue space.
And we're like,
well,
terrified.
This is got to be a rough.
But they got directed out.
And they went to sit down at a table just at the back,
which would have been even worse.
But luckily they found another room.
But it was amazing.
They managed to soberly break a glass.
Yeah, within minutes.
Just setting up.
Maybe they're just trying to get into the spirit of things.
Trying to break the ice.
Or glass.
Yeah, yeah.
And so then they're like,
oh, just cut me a bit just so that we can get in the mood.
We're just not quite in the mood yet.
What is it, Bill?
He's like the shy psycho, which is like, you know, a guy who's like a bit crazy and he's yelling on the street,
but he doesn't want to really bother anybody and doesn't want people looking at him.
He's like, ah, oh, I am, okay, I'm going to, I'm going to cut you.
I'm going to cut you.
I guess, oh.
Can't make eye contact.
Yeah.
Oh, sorry.
Sorry.
I am.
I am going to cut you.
I am going to cut you.
He grabs a bin and, like, he's like, going to throw it, but he kind of goes, oh.
and then he doesn't throw it
but he takes everything individually out of the bin
bit by bit and puts it on the ground
and then he's like
he puts it back in
look I'm writing it down
it's not the best but shy psycho
all the other sketches we wrote down
were the best
and so that's why I felt a little bit
sorry about this one
but the
the guys on that first
like what is the solution for this problem
like do they need to
get really drunk and then get dressed
into the baby costumes
do they need to have the baby
costumes sort of underneath
or do they need to have a baby costume
that sort of wear some clothes over the top
that sort of dissolve
over the course of the night
The more alcohol sweats through you
Exactly right
Yeah
Oh yeah that's a kind of cool idea
Sort of it's activated by testosterone
And
It goes up with your confidence as well
Yeah on your blood alcohol level
Well, that's the insecurity of dressing like a man baby
Even more reliant on the Dutch courage
Yes, that's right
It's all part of the whole beer jacket
Yeah
Goes on, but the beer jacket is invisible
And it also
Takes away your normal jacket
Yes
Somehow
It's a jacket made out of beers
Yes
Or for beer that you drink
And as you drink it you become more naked
And then it exposes
your beautiful baby outfit underneath.
It was, that one, seriously huge guys.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, it's just an amber jacket.
It's such an investment and I really admire them doing it.
I did so.
You're really brave.
I never like.
On you guys for dressing up as babies.
That's what really struck me because I'm like,
later on in the night you're like,
these drunk idiots having fun.
They're a bit annoying, but it's fine.
I can tell I'm having fun.
But seeing at this point of the process is like...
I'm really admire that you're getting out of your comfort zone here.
And I'm sort of realizing why you have to drink so much.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, having such bold ideas as well.
And like that thing is like it is almost an infomercial kind of sketch,
which is like, don't you hate when you're going out with your bold fellas?
You know, and you're out to have a really stupid bucks night.
Right?
But at the beginning of the night, you haven't drunk any booze and you're having trouble.
You're embarrassed.
You're embarrassed.
You know, well, whatever.
The beer suit.
What about a research and development organization that comes up with new stupid things for football guys to do on their big weekend off, right?
So, like, who comes up with the idea of dressing as a baby, right?
Somebody came up with that.
Well, that's the Mad Monday recent.
Research Institute. We are constantly coming up with new, embarrassing things that
blokes can do on the piss. You know, they're the ones who came up with pissing into
your own mouth. They invented that. That was us. You know, pissing into your own mouth? That was
us. That was huge for us. Yeah, balancing a dog on your dick. That was us. Balancing a dog on
your dick. That was us. And we also, we also, pushing it forward. We also suggested filming it
I'm putting it on lawn.
Yeah.
That was our new technologies division
who engaged with us to really bring that one.
And it is cool because you do see that because a lot of these guys
are football players or sort of high,
you know,
high level sports people,
they can't afford to use sort of an institute,
you know,
and that comes up with sort of some of the more advanced ideas that...
I guess it's maybe it's attached to the Australian Institute of Sport.
Yeah.
It's subdivision.
It's the Australian Institute.
Australian Institute of stupid shit you do after a...
After sport.
After sport.
Yep.
So, Saren...
Australian Institute of bringing disrepute to the sport.
Oh, that's good.
You got that down?
D-I-S-R-E-P.
Where is it the...
Australian Institute of bringing disrepute to the sport?
Seren assumed they're on a box party.
But I'm like, they can't...
We were figuring this out on stage.
I'm like, I...
I don't think they can be a Bucks party
because it's normally one of them is dressed up like
humiliating, humiliating in a Bucks party at Mad Monday.
But then Soran said,
but it can't be Mad Monday at Saturday.
Yeah, one of us was...
But the Mad Monday is bigger than...
Yeah.
Make really good points.
And Monday's bigger than just the Monday, man.
Maybe they were all getting married to each other.
This is going to be the weirdest thing
you were going to ever see somebody eat.
Look at this looks like dog food or something like that.
What is that?
It's a bit of...
bean curd.
You've changed.
They're like an astronaut
sort of...
Can you chuck me a little bean curd?
They look...
Sashay?
Sort of marinated kind of...
That one sort of came from...
That one didn't come from the packet.
It came from between his legs.
It's the worst like switcheroo you've ever seen.
Yes, I could get you one right now.
You want one pre-war?
I'm keeping this
I'm keeping this for the empty packets
It's really odd
This one's from my crop
When you're trying to get me to eat this weird new food
He's got a banana out there and say
It's really good
Your crotch is like Mary Poppins's bag
Put the oily bag in there
I just needed some food as well
because I was like
I'm already starting to get hungry
oily bag
Is that you know
Mary Poppins bag that keeps
Someone's got a crotch
That's like that
Oh it's really good
Mary Poppins
Keeps pulling things out of her pants
I mean we did have
We've already had a guy delivering things
Did you mean is that?
Yeah was that today yeah
I think so
It's been a long time already
Yeah
But it's a delivery service where
The package is delivered in
their pants and that's just from a women of hen's night and stuff like that yeah um look mary poppins
uh okay mary poppins is seeing her gynecologist oh my goodness and he finds something in there
and then he takes it out there's heaps more stuff and there's heaps of more stuff in there
there's lots of stuff in there she's yeah yeah i mean no look i mean it sounds like it could be an
entire condition. You have Mary Poppins' vagina. Oh, yes. Yes. I can see Tim Vine being the doctor.
Oh. He does it. Yeah. And that's the punch on. You've got Mary Poppins vagina.
Is it because it's a hazard of flying with an umbrella. There's a lot of things in the atmosphere.
Yeah, yeah. She's wearing a skirt. Yeah. But that there's a real issue like that. Yeah. She's not just using it as a storage
area she wasn't just like there was a bad landing in a in a garage site oh yeah yeah she got caught in
like a tornado or something like that and so she was like flying over a like tornado alley or
whatever like that and the whole house it sort of like that um i heard yeah she was the eye of the storm
hmm she was the eye of the storm the nose of the storm um what about um
Um, you know, uh, what about, yeah, we, we started with a genie thing before, you know, three, three wishes.
Three wishes. Um, I mean, it feels like you never, you never, you don't often see people saying that they want to do something with the genie.
Like, you know, wouldn't it be nice to like, hang out with a genie?
Hang out with the genie.
Go to a movie.
First one, I'd love to go on a first date with you.
Hmm.
And second, second wish. I mean, I guess if it doesn't come for free, like to have a little kiss.
Hmm.
You know, third wish.
But I don't know.
Like a million dollars.
That doesn't feel fair because the genie has to grant the wishes, right?
Like that doesn't feel consensual.
Yeah.
Well, that's what the first three wishes are base one, two and three.
If you want to go home, home base.
Genie, you know, you want to go all the way with the genie, the genie.
What that actually means and you don't realize is go back into the lamp.
Yeah, back to your place.
I mean, you've already rubbed the lamp.
Yes.
Right, so...
Not a start at home base.
But that's the thing about baseball.
You do start at the home base.
That's true.
Wow.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's huge.
You're sort of going back home.
Mm.
You're going for home.
Yeah.
I guess that's what home is.
Going back home.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's why they call it the home base.
Yeah.
I always thought it was just because it's like in the shape of a house.
Mm.
Isn't it?
Did you really think that?
Unless it's ridiculous
Is it called going back home
Because we all came from a vagina
Does anyone call it that
We're not talking about baseball still
Oh
Oh no you're saying
Is it called home base
Because
Because that's
You're returning like a salmon
Back to the vagina
Because you were born from a vagina
And so is that when you
Is that when you
Is home base in the sort of in the dating thing
Is that going
into the vagina?
Is that going home?
I don't know, I think, quite possibly.
And in that case, it makes sense
of the whole thing and well done.
Yes.
But I think you would have life cycle is over.
Yeah.
I think that only works of your fucking your mum.
Okay, all right.
Coffee's kicking in.
Now things are getting good.
Anyway, I hope my family wasn't watching.
Oh, sorry.
Fine when you were pulling food from your food.
Oh, look, life peaked when I was pulling food.
from my crotch.
The the thong that you're wearing,
it really is, I mean,
is that why it's called a thong
when you wear like the Borat style
over the shoulders?
Because it's exactly the same sort of...
Mancini.
The mancini, because, you know,
you have the bit that goes in between your toes.
Now that's obviously in the
keeny sense, that's between your legs.
Yes.
I mean, someone should make a thong keeney, right?
where it's a big thong that you can wear and it goes up your back i guess like that's where the
thong is like a foot song or the yeah like a flip-flop right but you can wear it as an entire outfit so
you've got a big foam thong that goes up your back yeah okay and then the bits that go between
your toes they go between your crotch there and then the straps that go down the side they go up
over your shoulders and it's a thong that you can wear as a as an entire outfit and i guess
Why would this be good?
Maybe you can use it then to slide down sand dunes.
And sleep, you know, like, what are you bright festival wear?
Yeah, I mean, maybe it's an entire.
Yeah, I mean, you'll be cold on the front, but for camping.
Sure.
Summer time.
Summer festivals, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, that's good.
Thanks.
I mean, if you even write it down on the...
Yeah, there's a sketch idea.
It might be, Alistair.
And for a winter festival, you know, you'd wear the full-body shoe.
The full-body shoe.
Yeah.
A shoe for your body.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, it does make sense.
The back of your clothes, if you did just put some padding down there or whatever,
you could sleep anywhere.
Yeah.
I'd be so great to just be able to sleep wherever you are.
My ass is already sore.
Mine too.
I'm sitting down.
Is that weird?
I don't think these couches are super duper comfortable for this sort of long-term.
Yeah.
If I borrow this, I apologize.
I think that's pretty standard to, like, sitting in the same position for a long-
have you been doing it?
I think I've got a weaker ass than I used to have.
Oh yeah, that'll happen.
Yeah?
You think so?
Yeah?
Do you think, does your ass get sore since you've been getting older?
How dare you suggest?
It's not that you're getting older.
Yeah, it's preposterous.
Yeah, I think so.
But I mean, I've only just been sitting for about 10 minutes.
I know, but you were also on a point.
It means in general, in life.
Do you find that the seat of your body is not like not up to what it used to be?
able to do like you used to be able to sit for days yeah we we just I mean it was a shortish
flight two hour flight uh from Brisbane and I was wriggling around and yeah it is but I mean
it is a very cramped sort of seat on it you know and I'm trying to I was sleeping we
think we both slept but in the sleeping of the oh the leaning forward yeah head down
do you think that if you were on a plane despair position yes that if you're on a plane like
at and you just started yelling, I'm uncomfortable. I'm uncomfortable in this chair at some
point that would bring you up into first class. Oh. Or do they divert the plane? I mean,
they might do that too. You know what they should do. They should put everyone else up into
first class because they'd be uncomfortable as well and that would teach you a lesson. Yeah, I know,
but they're not going to do that. They're not going to do that. What about what if it was? I'm uncomfortable.
I'm not having a good time. This chair hurts. What if it was in a sense? What if it was in a
sketch.
I know.
That's what I'm trying.
No, no.
That's what I'm trying.
It's the idea that they call your bluff and they bring everyone else into first class and leave
you alone.
And everybody's all crowded into the...
Yeah, but they're having such a good time.
You're a hero then, really.
Then you've got everybody in the plan all along.
Maybe that was the plan all along.
The flight crew, they think they've got one over you on you.
And they're all laughing with the rest of the economy class up in first class and
pointing at you and that sort of thing and then you get off the plane and then they look out
the window and they see you shaking hands with one of the other economy class people who was in
first class and they slip your 20 bucks or something and they realize they've been scam
they've fallen for the oldest trick in the book and then that and then that character turns to
the camera and winks and that's the end of the sketch there you go it's the i mean this is just
part of our winning at life series of like you know
These are sort of little zero-day exploits of like,
this will work but only once, okay?
Once the air crew realized that the guy's shouting,
I'm uncomfortable,
is trying to get everyone up into first class.
You won't ever be able to do that again.
They're not going to fall for it.
They're not going to fall for that again.
But it worked one time and we'll come up with heaps more.
In fact, maybe we put them on little coupons.
You send us 50 bucks.
We'll send you an idea.
Here's the thing. I think being a con artist, a lot of it is just learning some old cons.
It's like being a magician.
You mostly just learn a lot of the old tricks that the old masters have done.
And then a lot of people are just following those scripts and stuff like that.
To be like a modern day contemporary con artist and coming up with new cons all the time like that.
And just starting new stuff like that.
And sometimes riffing, going in, not knowing, not knowing where you're going.
Started getting into a cafe and going, oh, I did a whoopsie.
like that and then you go let's see where this goes
let's see what I can get.
What you're saying is too many people focus
on the artistry of con but not the craft
That's right
They're not willing to push the art form forward
Where's the con craft?
Yeah yeah where's the con craft
That's right you're right
It's like you know
And so then you go in and you go
Hey I don't even want a specific thing
No I'm going in here
Maybe I'll get money
Maybe I'll just get a free muffin
Right
But I'm going to use the bargaining power
of whatever scene I create to extract something from this, right?
I want to, you know, it's like the guy.
It's like the guy who decided to trade a paper clip for then, like a pen,
for then, you know, until he had a house, right?
I only need to get a little thing for free and then get out of there,
and then I can swap that for something bigger.
I like that.
Maybe it's even go in there and try to get a paper plate.
I'm going to con my way to the top.
All I need to do is, yeah, con five napkins out of this.
Yeah.
out of this cafe
and then I'm already on the way
now I've got those five napkins
now I'm going to go and con somebody
into giving me
a cigarette
He's short conning his way to a long con
Well
Short cones are made of
What are they if not?
Yeah every long con starts with a
A lot of cons
Small cons all laid together
Yeah
I don't know
Sorry Matt will be saying
Every long con
begins with a
A short con
A short con starts
Every day I come in and I take a penny
I take like, you know, 10 cents
you know, from this change thing
or whatever, the tips thing or whatever like that.
And then over...
Is that a con?
It's a con.
That's a con.
He's a guy, he's got a wide definition of what a con.
Yeah, that's a con.
That's actually technically a con.
I go out into the alleyway
and I eat some of these chips out of a bid.
It's a con.
It's a con.
You're not supposed to do that.
They don't want you to.
Yeah.
At the time, I killed a rat, I cooked it, ate it.
The art of the con.
Yeah.
Because like con, con, it's confidence trick is what I'm sure for, but it's not that clear.
Con is the start of a lot of words.
That's true.
You know, convict or whatever, you know, anything illegal is a con.
On descending, Constantinople.
There you go.
Yeah, Con the fruiterer.
Yeah, I could be, you could be a, you could be doing a long con the fruiterer.
why did they call it
you know
and he's actually doing it
one of the best long cons
anyone's ever seen
and it's actually just a
just a sculpture
that goes
three miles
of con the fruit
he's not
he's not wide
but he's really long
he's long
and you can only enjoy it
by plane or helicopter
right and he goes
for like three miles or something
how would you
I mean that would be a nightmare
if you want to get past
you know
it is a great wall of
yeah
it is a nightmare
yeah you have to step
over it.
Wow.
Yeah.
He hasn't made it to the step onable.
It's not like one of those...
Step over it, but I mean, he's high.
How do you get over him?
He's long.
He's long.
Yeah, but he's not so high.
Well, he's a man height.
He's laying down.
He's laying down.
Oh, is he?
Yeah.
Sorry, I wasn't listening to that.
This is your length.
This is your width.
Well, I thought he was standing up, but then he made...
I guess I was picturing thick.
And I was thinking if it gets thick enough.
A thick con.
But once he's thick, I think once you're thick to a certain point, that becomes
length.
Yeah.
It takes over the position of length.
Length is always...
You're only thick up to a certain point
and then thickness becomes length.
Okay, he can be long in that way if you want.
Thank you.
It's just going to take a lot more material.
And, you know, it's...
And you can't step over it.
Yeah, but he could steal it.
But what a great call would be
if they think they're getting a really long con,
but you give them one that's just really thick.
After all that, sorry, mate.
Yeah, I mean, they'd be able to tell...
They'd be able to tell...
within the first day of work or whatever.
That's why you don't reveal it.
No, someone doesn't, you know, Andy.
Andy type character is the one who's completed it.
And he's like, there you go, I've done it.
The long con.
And he go, hang on.
That's a sick con.
So he, and I mean, maybe he's not a very tall man.
He walks into his first day of work.
After all he's on, you're like, oh, it's quite a short con.
That's right, yeah.
When you get the perspective.
That's right.
He turns to the side.
Yeah.
Three miles long.
You think we're bringing him to life.
Oh, he's living.
He's a living statue.
A living con.
How would you take steps if your legs were like that?
Anyway, it doesn't matter.
Why did they call it fake meat and not con carne?
Oh.
Does that make anybody...
It's carne.
You're like chili con carne?
Yeah.
Isn't that with...
That means with meat, right?
Yeah.
So they should call fake meat con cancane.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's good.
Then it actually means with meat.
Yeah.
It wouldn't work in...
All right, what about long con carne?
Oh, sorry, this is...
This is chili con carne.
This is fake...
This is chilies made out of fake meat.
Yeah.
Why did you have...
You got confused.
I'm speaking English.
A little bit of Spanish.
But not as much Spanish as you think I am.
Yeah.
Look, if you thought I was speaking more Spanish than I actually was, that's on you.
That's on you, mate.
Yeah.
I'm not that multicultural.
All right, I'll write that down.
I used to make chili conkarni, and he'd make some for me without meat.
He called chili conkani without the cany.
The chili, I don't know, I think, I always assumed the chili was like,
but it's like that American style chili.
It's sort of part of the meat.
I think the chili almost.
It's like a kind of sauce in America as a chili.
Yeah.
Because I always assumed it meant like hot, hot chili.
Hot chili.
peppers. Yeah. It seems so close
to a bowl of nays, doesn't it? Yeah.
With beans in it.
Mm. Mm. A bowl of nays.
Yeah. Yeah.
Come on I get a bowl of nays, thanks.
What is nays? Like mayonnaise?
Yeah. Yeah, I guess so. Yeah.
And you just want a bowl of it.
Yeah.
In a spoon, just in a spoon. Two spoon.
As a child, I would have eaten that.
Yeah. I definitely did eat mayonnaise out of the jar with a spoon.
Yeah.
Because I was a little sick fuck.
Yeah, I mean, look, I think if you enjoyed it, then you're not a sick fuck.
Did you, did you grow up with people who called spaghetti bowl and a spag bowl?
We called it Spagbog.
Oh, that is, that is even worse.
Yeah, yeah, arguably.
And even more incorrect.
Yeah, yeah.
Really?
Oh, yeah, because it's not, yeah.
Bringing the G out.
It's Bolog.
Yeah.
You're abbreviating with no regard for the structure of it.
Gay abandon.
Yes.
Spag, bolog.
Oh, yeah.
That's better.
In Tasmania, sorry, we couldn't have gay abandoned.
It was heterosexual abandoned.
Yeah, okay.
Up until 1997.
Right, yes.
Non-descript.
And if that, who's that big Tazzy politician?
Erica Betts.
It'll go back to that, I reckon.
People here don't really like gay abandon.
So we will be having hetero abandoned until for the notice.
I won't give you any further notice
That's got to be something
Erica Betz getting rid of anything
That sounds gay in any way
Like just the word gay
The word gay is beyond
My means
I don't know
They won't be front gates
Anymore they will be front
sexual
Territz
Yeah
Turrets
Alright
All right
Erica Betz
Before the podcast, we were briefly talking about the idea of no homo erectus.
And I do think that, like, if homophobia continues to, you know, it feels like it's making a comeback.
At least in the way people are expressing their thoughts online, that sort of thing.
Like, it's, you know, it's on the rise.
and I think maybe eventually homophobic people will evolve into a completely separate species.
Oh.
You know, if you're...
No-homo erectus.
And they will become no-homo erectus.
Right.
So they'll devolve from sapiens as well.
Yeah, yeah.
That's right.
Oh, yeah.
No homo sapiens.
Yeah.
I apologize.
You know what?
When you lose something, when you lose something, you know,
Like, if you lose your capability of becoming gay gene, other things go with it.
And so maybe they do go back to erectus.
And, you know, the brow gets a little bit bigger and things like that.
Although, you know, there would have been a lot of homo erectuses that were also gay.
Oh, true.
You know, gay Neanderthals, there would have been by Neanderthals.
It would have been Neanderthals that love strawberries.
Really?
Yeah.
Yeah.
There would have been Neanderthals that enjoy sort of,
sort of percussion.
Yeah.
You know, like,
do you think at some point there would have been a Neanderthal around at some point?
Those would have been the controversial things in the Neanderthal.
I mean, I don't know.
I don't,
I don't begin to understand.
Yeah.
Politics.
The endothilian.
Wait,
I know you're annoyed that scientists have started calling fungus,
Fungis
Fungi
Fungi
Fungi
I've noticed
They
Probably over the last 10 years
I've started saying
Neander tall
As well
When do you stand on that
Yeah I mean
It does bother me a little bit
It does bother me
Yeah I think
I think that they
Scientists do use
Their stranglehold
As experts
Change the pronunciation
Yes
You're right
It's sort of a little bit
Of authority creep
Right
Well like once you are
The voice of authority
You're like
Well if you're going to listen to me
I'm going to
Now I'm going to add this in
It's not enough that I know how the fungus reproduces.
I also have a monopoly on how it is pronounced.
Jenghis Khan.
Is it a way to keep relevant when your sort of branch of science
is no longer the one that's dominating the public conversation?
Now that the fungus experts don't have that stranglehold on the entire scientific world
than they used to have.
They're trying to reclaim it from mushroom ladies.
She might away a bit.
Yeah.
I mean, maybe we could just create a new way of, you know, gaining knowledge that is without error.
You know, something, you know, a new type of science.
That's a really good idea.
I think science is out of time.
We've got to find a new way.
Yeah, we've got to find a new way to do it where companies can't just pay for studies
and then be able to go, oh, yeah, Coca-Cola is, so that it's medically actually quite cool.
Yeah.
Like that.
And so then we create a new one and we'll call it something else.
Like something sounds cooler.
Nollo.
This is the new side.
It's called nollo.
Knowledge.
Yeah.
It comes from the word knowledge, you know, nollo.
Like that.
And then we can fight back with this fungi thing.
Yeah.
And this is such a good idea.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And like the rebranding knowledge as well for the new generation.
Having a campaign, maybe it's a government.
campaign to try and make knowledge sound cool for young kids and we say have you got yolo for
nolo yeah that's how we go to school ohlo yeah scolo yeah don't get nolombo yeah nolo
no lo fomo yeah you are down with the kids yeah yeah i'm pretty up to date with um all this stuff
yeah yeah no cap no cap for sure
Cap.
No cap, right?
I was talking about this with surrounding in the Uber.
It means no lies.
Yeah, right, no.
But to what were we talking about?
We said it's no cap.
It's like a, oh, we were talking about it like on,
ory caps?
Venue deals, how they're, like, often festivals will be like,
whichever's higher.
That's what you owe us.
But, yeah, so there's no cap.
No cap.
How much you might owe.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Intractual.
Yeah.
That really sucks, by the way.
Yeah.
And no cap.
I love, it's these artists' first festivals, isn't it?
Yeah, if you go really well, by the way, if you even start to seem a little bit successful, we're taking a big cut of that.
Yeah.
I didn't know about this.
I don't think I've even troubled those metrics.
They haven't been keeping me informed.
They haven't thought it necessary.
That one time that we had a comedy festival, that not many people from here signed up for,
because it was in the middle of the pandemic
and the last one had been cancelled
and then the borders were closed
so there were no international acts
that was a great festival
and we had had a show
and that was the moment we had been waiting for
we were primed and ready
nobody else can come
and nobody else is putting on a show
yeah
and then and then we had a show
that we had worked an extra year
more like an extra month and a half
right before the festival
and so then it was
and then we had the biggest
it went okay
it went pretty okay
yeah
And then do you think that we got into the...
I think we got into that in that point, in that point.
And that was when you two really started talking about close the borders.
That's right.
It was really with some caps.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
There's got to be a new alternative to not liking immigration.
You know, is there a new way of, like, you know, blaming?
Because surely, you're like, wait, wait, you're complaining that we're not enough,
high enough birth rate and that we need more people.
I mean, that's the solution right there.
You know what would help?
More people.
Yeah.
And we can skip in that baby stage.
They're not productive for society at all.
Yeah, that's true.
You can skip right through that difficult early period.
Skip the intro.
Yeah.
Everyone loves to skip an intro these days.
It's right.
I guess a baby does take somebody out of the workforce,
which is what I guess these people want.
They're like, oh, create new people and then take somebody out of the workforce
because their mother can't work then for a while.
Yes, because the mother should stay at home with a child, Alistair.
Well, she has to for a while.
That's true.
Yeah.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha you're trying to get me but you can't get me you can't get me
I think births are actually there are a lot of work for the mother Andy so yeah
oh you think a mother should be a work birthing work birth okay
oh beautiful work bird I mean we've all heard of the standing desk yeah what about the
lying down on your back with your feet
in the stirrups desk.
Yeah.
It's somewhat somehow bringing together
the standing desk
and the water berth, you know.
Home birth.
Squatting desk.
Squatting desk.
That's the way to give a birth, I think.
Well, apparently, you know, we would be out
squatting in the fields, you know.
Harvesting berries or whatever.
Dropping babies onto the...
Babies would just fall like ripe fruit
from a branch.
Yeah.
You know, it's my dad's nightmare right now
It's like, because we have an apple tree in the backyard
And every day he looks out the window
And he just looks at how many apples have fallen on the ground
You know, they're all like already bitten by bugs
And he's like, I'm just going to have to go pick up all these apples
It is stressful
Because our neighbor's plum tree comes over our fence
We're not meant to deal with abundance
I think because I can't even handle one tree
Yeah, yeah
Even though there's like, you know, you want abundance for inside your house
You want to be able to open your cupboard and have lots of food and things like that.
But when you're forced to get abundance on its own terms.
Now the apple's in charge.
The apple tree is making you work for it.
Exactly.
We're slave to the orchard, the one tree orchard.
And so we have been, my dad's like been saying,
it's like, maybe there's a way that we can just cut the tree down?
Not cut it down because we like the tree.
Sterilize it.
Can we like cut its nuts?
Wow.
I don't think they have nuts.
Yeah, I know.
You're thinking of acorns.
Yeah.
But can we, is there a way you can get in there and just cut the tube?
Oh, cut a lot of tubes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Tree vasectomy.
I think the problem is that trees are basically all tubes.
Yes.
Right?
Then we'll cut every single bit.
Every single tube.
Chop a damn.
Well, it was just slice through every branch and just cut that one, you know, a tube.
What about having it preserved in formaldehyde, you know, or taxidermide, you know, or taxidermite.
Oh, a term.
Taxidavit tree.
Follow it out and then...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You could use the internal wood for stuff.
Yes, great.
Oh, yeah.
And fill it with...
You'd be building a nest for the queen.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
And then you could fill it with all those rotten apples.
Yeah, oh, that's good.
Where to put them.
That's good, all right.
Do you think this is a sketch?
A taxidermied tree?
I think taxidermy tree.
Write it down.
Yeah.
Very funny.
Dermy.
I mean, also like a, you know, you could have a...
At least the guy, the guy gets a taxidermy a...
cunt to come over and be like, what about this?
Do you reckon you could do this?
Like that is, I want?
Like, is there a squirrel in there or something?
No, no, no.
No, the whole thing.
Do it.
I also think, though, that like a, you could have a scene
in maybe in a movie where a unscrupulous logging company,
it turns out they've been hollowing out the trees,
you know, cutting all the inside out of the, our old growth forest.
Yeah.
And then just preserving the rest of it.
So it looks like they're still standing, but actually all of those eucalypt
they're all hollow they've taken that out and they've used it to make wood chips for some reason
yeah that's a that's a great evil backstory for like a kid's movie or something and then the
koala discovers it and he bands them all together the emu and the coca barra yes and the frilled
neck lizard yes and and and then go anna in the wombat and the
The Zool on the
Bandriga
Is a Butger from Australia?
Yeah, it is.
Isn't that fantastic?
They live in the Outback.
But maybe the frill neck lives in...
Bro big flocks of them.
He's actually a spy.
Oh, he's taxidermid.
Oh, he's taxidemid himself.
Okay, so he's just like...
He's got a listening device in size.
Yeah, he's a plant.
Oh, and the frill would work as like an antenna.
Like an antenna.
Like an antenna, you know?
Yeah, a satellite dish.
Oh, wait.
So they've hollowed out all.
All of the trees already?
Then they band together.
What do they do?
They go get the wood back?
Go get the wood back?
Or they cry?
Yeah.
It's just like a grieving cycle.
Yeah, that's right.
There's nothing they can do.
Maybe they discover it is mid-process.
I don't know how firm you are.
Yeah, everything's done.
Yeah, right.
There can be some hope, I suppose.
Yeah, okay, so what are they called?
People who cut down trees?
Arborist?
No, logger.
Lumberjack.
A troupe?
This is going to be a funny sketch.
This is going to be a funny sketch.
It's true
So to be a sketch
This would be like a fake
Movie trailer
Well I think
You know
It could be a classic movie
Where like the unscrupulous
You know
Millionaire in the town
Is doing this
And like you know
The kids have got to get together
Or something
And they catch him
And they find out what he's doing
He's hollowing out the trees
It sounds hard
It sounds complicated
Yeah
It doesn't seem like it would be very good
Maybe he's working together
With some termites or something
You know
Maybe he's got like a drill that just goes underneath and it sucks it out.
Yeah, but the evil geniuses in kids' shows are always.
They're so far-fetched.
They are incredible.
Technology, evil technology is so far ahead of anything we could imagine.
So much smarter than all of us.
Yeah.
The incentives are greater, I think.
You're right.
And that's what drives innovation.
Yes.
And they seem to be more passionate about their work, you know, which I don't.
Actually, a lot of the time, they don't seem motivated by money, right?
The evil people in, like, kids cartoons and stuff.
Like, they are motivated by, is it power?
Like, I think a lot of the time, like, if it's, you know, your Ben 10s or whatever it is, I don't know,
maybe Ben 10's a bad example, but, like, maybe PJ Masks, that kind of show.
The evil people are doing these incredibly elaborate, complex schemes with incredible robots and,
you know, digging tunnels under the whole city or whatever
with no thought of the profit motive.
And it suggests that there is an alternative to capitalism.
Yeah.
Right?
Like we're constantly told that we won't get innovation
if we don't have the profit motive.
But I think the evil thirst for power motive
is possibly greater and might give us hope of like some other way of...
You're saying that this current society we have
is because we went secular.
I think...
And you need to...
Bring back religion to get proper evil.
True villains.
True villains.
Yeah.
Instead of like the old Christian sort of dominating society, we want satanic.
Is that what you're thinking?
I don't know if it's not satanic evil as well.
I think it's like, I think it is actually quite a secular evil off of a mad scientist type of evil.
That it doesn't rely on, you know, these higher powers to get it.
They find their evil from within.
And that's really beautiful.
That is really beautiful.
That is really beautiful.
That seems sustainable and renewable.
Which is something they hate.
They hate that.
But, you know, if we can turn it to our own ends.
I think that's really funny.
I think an entirely evil economy where it's, you know, all the corporations.
I mean, I don't know if this would solve any of the problems,
but it would at least be something different, you know.
And I think maybe that's where we're headed.
We've given capitalism a go.
before we try anything crazy
like actually redistributing wealth
or like, you know,
giving people just recompense for their labour,
let's try pure evil-based economy.
Yeah, because you've got to fix the problems we have at the moment,
you need to let the subconscious kind of work at it.
So we need to give us some new problems.
Exactly.
What we're suggesting is that pure evil
might be a slightly better system than capital.
Yeah, I think that I think so.
Yeah. I mean, in a way, I think that feels like
what people in America might have been thinking when they voted.
It was like, capitalism is not working for us.
Let's try pure evil.
Let's try pure evil.
I don't want to vote for these socialists, but look, let's consider.
Yeah, yeah. Look, I think there's definitely something in there.
And it's a good way to vote. And I think being a little bit upset about
something that you feel like you're being forced to say
I think that's a good basis for choosing a vote.
Absolutely right.
Yeah.
Oh my goodness.
You guys weren't going to believe this.
I mean, you guys probably won't.
This is really exciting.
Yeah, but our new guest is here,
which means that we have to already.
I know you guys were already not.
You guys weren't here for that long.
You came here, you gave us coffees.
Yeah.
You know, you.
Well, I've been here.
for longer than Saran, why don't I step out
and you can have a crossover period.
That would be beautiful.
That would really smooth things over.
But Serran, I also don't want you to feel trapped here
because of that's a gesture.
I mean, as long as you like,
we'll probably head home together.
But have you guys moved in together?
Yeah, we're both moved back in.
A lot has changed.
And so it's just, yeah, just plum trees and out now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's cool.
It's Matt's a tree.
He's my name.
Do you guys like drink beers in the shower?
yeah yeah a couple of bachelors before before we head out in our like adult napis yeah
we normally like that's a mistake that those rugby players made we don't do that we will pre-game
we do we do we do we yeah yeah and we stick mad monday it's the mondays we're very traditional
like that anyway i like so much have a minute thank you so much much thank you so much
much, Matt's true.
Please welcome Jess Perkins.
Jessica Perkins.
And can't help but notice that Matt really, like, was desperate to get out.
As soon as Jess arrived, it's like, these two can't be on a podcast together.
No.
Not a lot of people know that do go on is actually you're all record, all your bits are recorded separately, like one of those Pixar movies.
Yeah, yeah.
Never in the same room together.
Like the Beatles in the later stages.
But much.
like actors in Pixar movies when we are seen together at premieres and live events, we act as
if we recorded the whole thing together.
That's where the real acting comes in.
That's why they, because a lot of people say, oh, why can't we just have voice actors doing
these roles?
You know, why does it all have to be celebrities these days?
It's because they're the ones who have the ability to pretend that they're friends make up
lies about putting each other on set or whatever at a red carpet.
But, firstly, you cast the junket.
Like, who would we love to have sitting opposite each other
as they're interviewed by someone from the project?
May she rest in peace.
Yes.
But, oh, yes.
I thought you were talking about the someone on the project.
May this put someone on the project rest in peace, someone on the project.
No.
Have you not heard about the project itself?
Oh, is it?
Have they reduced it down to a couple of days?
They've reduced it down to a couple of days.
Yeah.
Ease him into the news.
Yeah, just a couple of days a week now and, you know.
Yeah, no, they're still doing the project but on a farm.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, they're pretty good to a farm.
Oh, that's really exciting.
Yeah, and they got all this land to broadcast from.
Oh, that's really cool.
They can go out and do news as differently as they want.
Yes.
So different.
The news is delivered so differently out there.
They love it.
They love it.
We're having a really good time.
That's nice.
Being told.
That the show wasn't cancelled.
I mean, I do love the idea of, like, when a show gets cancelled,
they do release all the cast and the crew out into a field.
And they go to the paddock and they just roam around interviewing each other and, I guess,
eating grass.
I like the idea you touched on before of auditioning, but not for the actual role,
but for the press junket.
Like doing chemistry reads and just asking.
two actors inane questions while they go,
mm-hmm, that's funny.
Do you remember that day on set?
Here's a funny story about that, actually, yeah.
What, no.
And we play like, how good you're improper?
And they have to play the best friend game,
but they've never actually been in the same road.
Yeah.
They're like, your favorite meal, oh, I want to say spaghetti.
Yes, it's spaghetti.
Ah, we're best friends.
That is not great.
He's too excited.
It's too hard.
It's spaghetti.
I love spaghetti
Yours is also spaghetti
Yeah
We'll give you a call
Yeah thank you so much
Thank you very much
It's been a thing
You guys giving me
I always think that if I say
How much I appreciate getting the offer
Yeah
That they're like
Give it to me
Love getting the offer
Imagine how many more thanks
We're going to get this guy
When he actually gets the role
He's probably going to be thanking us all day
Every
Alistair
This is exactly my logic as well
I've done two objects this week
and I'm looking back on it now
and I'm like
wow, I sounded so pathetically grateful
in those little self-tapped
slates that I have to do
for the thing.
I mean...
Thank you so much for having me.
Yeah, so nice to meet you.
I love the script.
This is really great.
I do think that like
it would be great if they did cast it on that basis
right? That like the casting agents are there
and like, so who's going to be really grateful
if they get this?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Who will appreciate this?
I don't get any gratitude at home.
So I need to find that elsewhere.
Yeah.
And...
Got to be in some actors.
This dudes.
This guy is...
He is very grateful.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Super...
He's great.
Boy, we're going to get thanked a lot.
If he gets rolled, geez.
I'll say we just give it to him.
I don't think we're going to get thanked more than this guy.
Those thanks are in the bank right now.
Yeah.
That's a thank bank.
The old thank bank.
I think about that later when I feed my kid's spaghetti
and they don't even look up from their iPads.
That they're eating spaghetti off of it.
Spaghetti!
They're eating spaghetti off the iPad.
We don't even use plates in my house.
This is a genuinely fucking good invention.
Yes.
The eyeplate, right?
It's a plate with an iPad built into it.
And you've got to eat all your food.
You've got to eat the food.
So you can plop bits of food down.
around in different spots on this map.
Okay?
And the kids have to...
There's a little guy running around.
Because you've got to eat the food before he gets there
so he can get through to the next little section of the map or whatever.
Trying to slow...
It's like those dog food.
Yeah.
Slow eaters.
No, it's trying to make them eat something.
Okay.
Yeah.
You're just thinking that you're trying to slow them down?
Yeah, but you know, like...
They eat too fast.
Yeah, does that happen with dogs?
Yeah.
No, no, no.
That's never an issue, I think, usually with children.
Kids, you're like, please just eat your food.
Just eat something.
Yeah.
Eat a vegetable.
thing that I worked really hard on.
Try not to make me feel the worst I've ever felt about it.
Love gamifying dinner for kids.
I think if we need to tap into the adult market as well,
we need to go into diet culture and disordered eating
and you plop the food on the plate
and it tells you how many calories it is.
So then you feel really bad about it.
People will love this.
People will love that.
They'll hate it, but it will sell.
We'll unfortunately do very well.
But maybe when you put food on the plate
and it analyzes what it is, it goes, oh, man,
you're going to look like such a legend when you eat this.
Yeah.
Like that, and you go, oh, man.
Yeah.
You're looking hot.
And it's going to be so yummy and so good for you.
Yeah.
So yummy.
What is it?
What are we eating on the plate?
Spaghetti!
I just wanted to yell spaghetti.
Yeah, it's really fun.
It would be great if it was sort of like very specific propaganda
that your tongue believes, you know?
Like if the tongue
Propaganda for your tongue
If the tongue could be like propaganda for your tongue
If the tongue could be convinced
That it's going to really like
Eating something healthy for it
Right
And you sort of lay that groundwork
And then like by the time the tongue eats it
It's already invested in this idea
So it convinces itself that it likes
I mean I do like tongue propaganda
Because like then that way
You're just eating something really healthy
And but it can also be like
Oh you're so naughty for eating this
Yeah
You shouldn't be doing this
You go
And it's a salad
Yeah
Yeah
You're like, oh, I'm so bad.
Oh, like that, but it's got, oh, it's got all sorts of...
Yeah, I'm really treating myself with this disgusting little.
Does that?
Oh, you're being a bad boy.
What about also a new type of food where it's like something really delicious on the outside,
but then the stuff on the inside is really healthy.
But the only thing is that you won't be able to actually chew into it, right?
So what you need to do, it's sort of like an enormous tablet that you put it in your mouth.
It tastes delicious, but then you've got to go...
And to swallow it down.
without actually risking breaking it open
because it has disgusting, tasting stuff inside like a salad.
What is it?
A giant tablet.
A giant tablet.
A giant tablet with the food and then, you know, there's like, you know, a little...
Salad is so good though, isn't it?
Yeah.
A lot of salads are really good.
A lot of salads are actually quite good.
Yeah.
Why does the pill have to be really big?
Yeah.
Couldn't it just be long?
Because it could be thin, really long and be like,
or you can push it down.
Yeah, like swallowing a sword.
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah, okay.
Like a sword swallow, did you say?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah. Or you could have a, it could be like a gun.
You shoot the food down.
The tongue doesn't have a chance to taste it.
You just got to swallow the barrel a little bit.
I go, like that, and you go, oh, there you go, whole meal.
You do want to bypass the tongue, really.
Yeah.
That's the main reason.
Yeah, it's a real gatekeeper.
Yeah, it is. Yeah.
And has way too much power, in my opinion.
That's right. That's why you need a gun.
First, first you threaten the tongue.
Yeah.
Like that, because, you know, if you shoot the food directly onto the tongue, it will hurt.
So then the tongue gets out of the way.
Yeah.
It lets you get to the esophagus or whatever it is.
Sorry, I shouldn't be pointing.
Like that, you go, meal done.
Yeah.
The tongue gets out of the way.
Yeah.
You just do one little, one warning shot to it.
And then it goes, ah, oh, oh, oh.
I think it'll get a whole barrel.
Then however much you want to eat, you empty a foot.
full clip.
Yeah.
You're really gorging yourself.
Yeah, you're like, oh, I shouldn't.
So good.
I mean, if that's the case, then the gun could taste really good.
Like, the gun could be made out of bread.
Oh, like that's a salted gun.
Yeah, it's an assault rifle, a salted rifle.
A salted rifle.
Yes.
Then so that, and it rests on the tongue, and the tongue is thinking, this is delicious.
Yeah.
I'm so lucky.
to get to have this um whatever it is in on top of me yeah oh i'm so lucky to have this on top
of me like that yeah maybe the gun speaks as well that says that you're so lucky to have me on top
of you yeah but it speaks tongue language yeah it speaks to the tongue
the mother tongue imagine if there was a mother tongue oh where all the tongues are born
tongues come from and then the little tongue has to crawl up inside your mother and then go up
and then go in wait wait what reach the it's like there's like a mother tongue somewhere in the sewer
yeah yeah like the sewer all that's the worst place from come from and and then it goes up through
the pipes and all its little babies are tiny little tongues i think they're on the outside and they
break off almost like polyps right yeah like i don't think it reproduces sexually i think it's asexual
the little taste buds on the mother tongue
get bigger and strong
and they become their own tongues
and then they break off
as it crawls through the sewers
because that's where it lives
they get brushed off against the
and then they're free
and then they go and try and find their homes
this is a beautiful Pixar movie
and so then they crawl up through the sewer
and then they go up through the toilets
come out and then they go into where the mother
they go up your butt while you're on the toilet
they could but I think they have to go
into the birthing canal
so they have to go and they have to break through the survey
or whatever like that and then they go in through there
make a little hole just a tiny little hole so there's a bad oh the mother's
pregnant is she yeah the mother's pregnant and so then then the tongues
can smell a fetus right and they go up through the sewers
right come out and then they go in the sewers through the sewers
and then they come out and they go and they go and not always in the hospital
the mom's not you know like we could yeah wherever they are and it goes in there
and then it goes and it finds the baby's mouth and it like lays down
goes in there and it's sort of but they're very good at it like they know
Which mothers speak which languages.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's why they speak their mothers.
That's right, yeah, yeah, that's how babies start to learn how to speak.
Right.
Because of what's...
The tongue...
The tongue speaks the language.
Sometimes people get knocked on the head and then they wake up and they can speak in different language.
Yeah.
The tongues have been replaced.
Yeah, he had a different tongue.
The tongue fell off.
Yeah, and that's why other animals can't speak.
This is having a great...
That's why other animals can't speak because they don't get these tongues.
Yeah.
Yeah, they can just...
go like,
I love you,
like one of those like
like that cat.
Oh,
it was a husky.
Yeah.
Really?
Yeah,
they kind of how.
Or is it
the cat said?
No,
no,
no,
no,
no,
that's it.
Yep.
Oh,
no, no.
I'd love to get those two
together.
Oh, yeah.
The anxious attachment style
and the avoidant attachment style
of the,
the cat that can only say no
and the husky
that can only say,
I love you.
Yeah, yeah.
Watch them and maybe it's a whole,
you know,
I'd love to get there.
on the couch in some sort of reality.
Maybe maths.
Put them together in maths.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, that would be cool.
Yeah, yeah.
See if it works out.
I guess we'll have to see what the psychologist.
Well, now dogs aren't often date cats,
but then dogs don't date.
Yeah.
So it doesn't mean that they don't like it.
Doesn't mean it's not their thing.
And this is news done differently.
Yeah.
This is where I'm on the farm.
I don't know why I'm about to shoot the news,
but yeah so that's where tongues come from
I think I got lost on the idea
that because like you know
the mother's body creates bones
and a brain and all of the organs
but it's not a tongue though
I can't make a tongue
we can't expect too much of the month
that's true I agree
think about something like mitochondria
you know we never had mitochondria
when we were evolving then the mitochondria
which was a bacteria
was incorporated into the cell structure.
That's right.
We have a symbiotic relationship with it.
It's probably the same with tongues.
And from the sewers.
And from the sewers.
Yeah, mitochondria was one of the best places you can find mitochondria sewer.
Usually the sewers are like, you know, the birthplace of a set of all that is good, you know?
Fatbergs.
Fatbergs.
By the way, Cindy and Fatberg is a really good idea for...
Oh, Cindy and Fatberg!
Spaghetti!
Sennian Fatberg!
It could well be, you know, a villain.
Yeah.
In a Marvel movie, if this hasn't already been done.
Yep.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So they're just made of, like, wet wipes and oil and stuff like that,
and fat and butter and stuff.
This would be a really good toilet.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Things could be a really good thing for, like, our...
So greasy.
This could be the Moriarty in our weird unit unit police TV series.
Yeah.
You know, that, like, he's pulling the strings
of all the crime in the city,
you're trying to find out who it is
who's like ultimately in charge
of this web of crime
and you trace it all back
to actually this sentient Fatberg
living in the sewers.
Yeah, I mean, this would be a good...
I know superhero movies are a little bit done,
they're not quite done, but...
I think we've got room for more.
Yeah, we've got room for a sentient.
When they hear about this,
when they hear it about this.
Because how do you defeat a sentient fatberg?
Exactly.
I've just found out what a fatberg is.
Yeah.
And, well, they...
It's like a 40-ton one
that they pulled out of the...
was in Perth.
They had to cancel a...
Whose concert was it?
It had to be cancelled.
I think it was like...
Who's the achy-breaky heart guy?
Billy Ray Cyrus.
I think it was something like that.
There was like,
it was supposed to be a Billy Ray Cyrus concert.
And they're like,
we have to cancel this concert
because if one more shit
goes down this sewer system.
And people...
And you know what people are like
at a Billy Ray Cyrus.
Oh, they are good.
They're going to let it fly.
Mm-hmm.
Nothing's...
going to move your bowels like a Billy Ray Cyrus.
My goodness. I've always said that.
I've long said that.
I've long said that.
Ever since I first, when I first heard,
Akey Break Your Heart, I said, I've got to go to the toilet.
And I said, that's weird, isn't it?
That is weird.
But then every time I've heard Akey Break Your Heart since.
That's how the Fatberg became sentient.
Could be.
Yeah.
Tearing a bit of Billy Ray Cyrus over the...
I mean, that's the beautiful thing is that it's like,
it is like the sirens call for the turds
to go back to the fat bird
which I assume has some turd in it
All our ideas are going to be about things
going into or out of the sewers
I hope you guys are okay with this at this point
we are locked into a particular mode of working
Yeah okay and it's you know
That's it that's the only pipe that we know how to
Explore
Get ideas in and out
As a child did you ever hear the story
I don't know if this was still doing the rounds
when you kids were at school
but we were told the story of someone
who had been a kid who had like
this is a childhood story
this is what you tell on the playground
a kid who was really into
teenage mutant ninja turtles
and they'd cut off two of their fingers
so that they could have three fingers
like a teenage mutant ninja turtle
and they'd gone to live in the sewers
did you get told this story?
I feel like I might have heard something.
I think you had me, I thought
I thought about a kid going into the sewers,
but I had maybe forgotten or not heard the detail of cutting off the fingers.
So they could have the three fingers.
Honestly, I mean, even if you, I get it,
you want to go live with the teenage mutant turtles.
Have two extra fingers.
Yeah.
Okay.
Like, surely that's nothing but an advantage.
Yeah.
I mean, you don't have the shell, you know.
It's not like you're never going to be a teenage mutant turtle.
No, because you're not a mutant turtle.
Yes.
And you could be yourself.
Yes.
You can just be a teenage person in the sewers.
Yeah.
That's weird enough.
best you can hope for. That's a thing.
It's a nice gesture, though. It's like, I'm not better than you.
That's true. Yeah. I'm meeting you where you're at.
They can't grow two extra fingers. I'll lose a couple.
He was disappointed when they didn't offer a shell in return.
Yeah. Or to at least cut off their own shell.
Yeah. Yeah. I've made this sacrifice.
That would be nice for them to like, can you rip off your, essentially your back?
Yeah. And then some of your front and then have exposed organs. And then I'll expose my
organs.
Yeah.
Do you think...
Sort of a tip for...
We'll just keep...
Yeah, yeah.
And then until we are,
I look exactly
at like these sort of like
shriveled down, skinless,
kind of three-fingered,
I guess whatever...
Yeah, we're kind of becoming
like whatever the last time
we had a common evolutionary ancestor.
Trying to work our...
Us and turtles.
Yeah, us and turtles.
Before we went off.
I said mutant turtles.
Sorry.
That's a couple of extra steps.
We should make a TV.
show that is just
dramatizing, like in a black mirror
style, fucked up little
stories that kids tell in playgrounds.
Like you go around, you
listen to whatever it is that they're
talking about.
This is all done above board.
But, and then
we turn those into, you know, that's the fuel
for our... But there's some that would
probably, that were around in our
childhood that are probably...
Still going. They've evolved a little, but they're
probably still going. Because I remember talking to, I can't
I can't even remember specific stories now,
but remember talking to older cousins,
and it's like, we all had the same story.
And that's only when you start to go,
oh, maybe that wasn't true,
that absurd story about a child
cutting off their fingers and getting into the sewers.
Maybe it wasn't actually true.
But when you're on the playground,
you're like, this is, this is true.
I thought about it so much as a kid,
and I was terrified of it.
I was like, I really like teenage mutant ninja turtles.
I hope I don't, like, ever do that.
It felt possible.
I felt like I might do that
because I know that that's what happens to people
who do like this show.
Yeah.
I think the idea of like being afraid of wanting something.
Oh, I hope I never want to chop up people
into little bits with a knife.
So it's such a weird fear because you're like,
well, I just don't really want to do that.
If I'm afraid to want to want that,
it's probably because I don't want to do that.
Yeah, probably won't ever do that.
Then what if I want to?
I'm intrigued by the stories.
because people aren't passing them on
is there an oral tradition
or is it just part of the development
of the prefrontal cortex or something
yeah that they emerge
these are the stories that all kids kind of
come up with independently
yeah yeah oh yeah sewer boy
yeah that's just part of you
it's a normal thing to just want you know
it's like the same way we
the other day my kid asked me
who created this world like that
and so it's like you know you kind of go
oh there must be somebody responsible for things like that
the same way that you think
at some point,
some boys that I can't see
must be living in the sewers.
The seward, yeah.
And, you know,
and I wonder why they went there.
What did you tell your child?
Did you just go a nice,
straight, clean, Christian God?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sentient, fat, you know?
Sentient, fatberg.
No, I just kind of went to classic,
well, we're not really sure,
but we're pretty sure it's not a person,
but some people do believe.
That's the thing.
they think that some guy used magic
and made the world and all that kind of stuff like that.
And then as a misdirect, you went,
Spaghetti!
Spaghetti!
Like that.
And then I go,
but, you know,
the way that we can find out these things
is through, you know,
collecting knowledge,
through Nola that I've been before.
And use a new type of science.
Oh, I'm into it.
Yeah, yeah.
Hey,
this has been a pleasure.
Oh, my God, Serene.
Thank you so much, my friend.
This whole time I've been like,
how is Serene going to get out of here?
Yeah.
There is no escape.
I think you did it incredibly well.
Serent.
Also, I can't really tell
because you're wearing a hat,
but it looks like you're wearing your hair
a little bit longer
and I think it's cool.
It's nice.
Oh, yeah, that is really cool.
Nice spin too.
I mean, Serene,
he feels to me like somebody
who reinvents himself periodically.
Oh, yeah.
Not like a complete ground-up reinvention,
but like at least like a new operating system
or like a...
Very much.
We could definitely use these at some point.
A little update.
Yeah.
You know, like where you're like,
oh, now it's Saren...
Three point.
Oh, like Sarenne, like who does...
There's like some...
Yosemite.
What's that thing there?
Yosemite.
Jousting?
Yeah, a jousting.
Well, yeah, I was thinking about the fancy one
that's in the Olympics there.
Fencing.
Fencing.
Fencing.
The fancy one of the Olympics.
Yeah.
We got there.
Fancy sword fighting.
Fancy sword fighting.
You think they should have like just shooting each other with guns in the Olympics?
Yes.
Like if they've got sword fighting and they've got target shooting,
they should have shooting at each other.
Yeah, I guess so.
But you just wear...
sort of a strong enough suit.
Just wear a strong enough suit so that it's fine.
It's got to hurt because there's got to be something that stops them from continuing.
Or you're just trying to get, do, do, do, like that, first to get three good shots on the other person.
Ducking and weaving and shooting?
I would watch the shit out of that.
Yeah.
Oh, if I knew, maybe they're shooting blanks or maybe like it, but it's still going to hurt or it's still going to look impactful.
I would watch that.
And they have to be like in a big, like, perspex kind of room or whatever like that.
So, like, you can only watch from outside the thing.
Bullets can't go fast enough, you know,
that they go through the perspex, you know,
and then you just go like three, two, one.
And it's just duel.
It's dueling.
Yeah.
You know?
Getting, shooting each other into the Olympics.
Had a lot of really good gun ideas since you came on.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Why do you think that is?
Oh.
Do I make you feel violent?
No, you make me want to say things that make me look cool.
Yeah, like Spaghetti!
Spaghetti!
Spaghetti!
You should have shouting at the Olympics as well, let's be honest.
Yeah.
You know?
Where the dads would really shine.
Oh, I mean, if it's so...
Like yelling at your kids.
Yeah.
Cut out there!
Joy!
Oh, the men and the women's events and things like that.
Or men yelling at women, women yelling at men.
Thank you.
You know?
And then both, they yell.
And there's one event which is yelling at non-binary children.
just because it's too hard to kind of like have an event where it's, you know,
women yelling at a woman, a female child, women yelling at a,
or maybe there's just two kids.
What if it's just a, what if it's just a, I think you probably wouldn't use a real kid in the Olympics.
I think you'd probably use, like they do with clay pigeon shooting.
You'd probably use like a, like a bore, a big bore, a foam pad or something like that,
and you yell at that.
And you can tell them there's a kid inside.
There doesn't have to be, though.
But what about just for the emotional connection?
Yes.
You know with like medical training,
they have very accurate like dummies now.
Maybe we'll speak, mannequins.
Maybe you use something like that that is, you know,
that you can really channel your rage into.
Yeah.
But without actually traumatising a real human child.
I do feel an emotional connection with those mannequins as well.
I really want to save their lives.
Yeah.
If that's what I'm learning to do.
In this case, no.
Are the ones that you kiss?
at the first in the first in the first i mean you're not supposed to kiss him yeah
you're just straight i mean they say put you're called the kiss of life
yeah right because i thought it was for me it was more of a kiss for life
yeah you take it home and uh like that and you put your finger in their mouth like that you clear
the airways i think that's going to be the funnest part of ever saying somebody we're still talking
about the kiss of life which is just general kissing general general kissing no no clear it out
clear the airways first i think that's the thing with the yeah with the first aid thing
that's the funnest looking bit.
Cleaning out the airways.
Getting your finger.
Getting the vomit out.
The risk of getting your finger in there
when there's still a set of teeth.
I can't believe that that ever works.
Like, what could they be in there?
You know, that's just lying around in their mouth.
I don't know, maybe they were,
what if they were eating like a hot?
I've tried to get stuff out of my kid's mouth.
It's impossible.
Yeah.
Well, I did first aid training earlier this year.
Yeah.
And I mean, your kid, yeah,
you can probably put your hand in there.
But if it's a stranger,
They teach you to just use their hand
Even if they're unconscious
You don't know what
This is getting even more
Isn't that weird?
This is not helpful
Grab their finger and
You're not going to be able to do anything
Because they don't have to do that
There's like a chunk of hot dog in there
And you're just like pushing it down
Further into the esomagus
That's a great idea
What about this?
Everyone loves first aid
What about second aid?
We teach people to show up
Where something is already under control
And mill around awkwardly saying
you're good
Yeah, you're good, cool, cool
Okay, well I actually do have to get to work
Yeah, but if you guys are okay
Looks like it's under control
They are still wearing high viz though
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Just like first aid people
That's right, you gotta put your high viz on for them
Maybe they even have a, they have an ambulance
Yes
Have a siren, they follow just after the main ambulance
They get there five minutes later and go,
You guys good or?
Yeah, yeah
You're right?
What about, it's the first aid
And you're like, they said, oh, you've got to use their finger.
And they go, oh, my God, this guy doesn't have fingers.
And then so then you get another, go, you can I use your finger?
Yeah, got to use somebody else's finger.
Then you knock him unconscious.
Yeah, yeah, like that.
And then you'll be able to do two people, but just do one first.
Always put your mask on before you put the other person's masks.
Always save the first patient before you save the patient that you knocked out in order to save the first patient.
Yeah.
And also, you know his airway is clear.
Yeah.
That's the first rule of second aid.
Yeah, you go, you go, open your mouth.
Ah, you got anything in there.
You go, no, knock him out.
Don't have to clear his mouth.
Yeah, yeah, that's right.
Unless you put something in his mouth.
Yeah, like your finger.
And then you use his finger to get your finger out.
Well, maybe that's what's going on with the first guy
who you notice didn't have any fingers.
They're all in his mouth.
Oh, my gosh.
Oh, his mouth is full of fingers.
He was trying to eat all his fingers, and he's choked on one of them.
Oh, this is, mate.
Has he passed out with his head still up here?
Maybe he cut his fingers off to try and become a teenage mutant ninja turtle.
Well, we've all been there.
Yeah.
I mean...
Wait, what was the other idea that we had along the way there?
Second aid.
Second aid, that's what we were.
A really good idea.
It's a really good idea.
I mean, what would the second aid siren sound like?
Yeah.
It's a little less urgent, but it's still like, I'm coming through, but like,
I heard recently about somebody
who'd hit a goose with their car
and the goose was really badly injured.
Oh no.
And they tried to put it out of its misery
but apparently it's really hard to kill a goose
because their necks are so flexible anyway.
Oh, he's trying to break the neck?
Yeah.
I'm not sure if breaking something's neck actually does kill it.
Doesn't it just paralyze it?
Depends, I guess.
Well, it's progress, isn't it?
It's all progress.
Oh, it's good.
Step in the right direction.
I mean, at least it's more injured.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's just not feeling the pain from the initial.
I put it out of that misery. I might have put it into a different misery. But at least it's a change.
It's like when you're hurt and somebody like pinches you or something and they go, see, but now you're not thinking about the other pain.
It's like that.
Oh, hello?
I think you're just saying hello.
Yeah.
It doesn't work for the goose.
We need a completely new sound.
What would scare a goose?
Like a fox?
What a foxes sound like.
Nobody knows what a fox sounds like.
Is that right?
Well, there's a whole song called What Does the Fox Say?
Yeah.
It's about not knowing the noise that foxes make.
Yeah, right.
Well, you know there's that sound that cars make,
which I guess this adds to the palette of sounds you can do.
You know when the car's already, it's an petrol engine kind of thing,
when the car's already running
and then you try to turn the...
Try and turn it on.
It's really embarrassing.
Yeah.
How's that?
Maybe you could use that
when there's a goose
or just something in traffic
where you're like,
well, I know a honk is rude
and another honk,
a short honk is kind of nice.
Yeah.
What about when you just want to get their attention?
It's a really good idea.
Yeah, that is good actually.
Yeah, we do need more options in cars, I think, is you right?
The honk is...
A vehicle vocab.
Yeah, we need more.
Yeah.
I guess there's probably,
I mean, there's like running into a wall that does make a sound.
It's like if you knock over a bin or something.
With a car?
With a car?
Yeah, you're right.
You know the sound?
Slamming doors.
You could do that as you're driving down the highway.
Yeah.
So, you know, you do have access to a bit of an orchestra.
Yeah, but it's got to be heard by other cars if you're trying to communicate with other people on the road.
You know the noise you make when, like, when someone is walking along and like maybe they're not really paying attention,
Maybe this is a female thing as well, I'm not sure.
Let's say somebody sort of is about to knock into me
and I can see they're about to.
And I'll make this.
I'll go like, oh, it's like a passive-aggressive.
It's like a passive-aggressive, like, oh, I'm not actually.
It's just sort of like a, I'm going to do your whoops for you.
Correct.
And then you'd better respond to that with a, oh, I'm so sorry.
And I go, it's okay.
And I walk away and you fucking, you know, I think a car needs a,
when someone's about to do something a bit silly.
It's not quite a beat, but it's like a, hey.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, because we've done that.
We use sometimes the ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
Yeah, the lights.
Like, you know, somebody comes and drives, like, into your lane.
And you're like, oh, hello.
And you're like, are you looking at your phone or some shit?
Yeah, yeah.
I don't want to.
You better be looking at your phone, buddy, because if you're just doing this, I mean,
we all love to look at our phones.
Of course, it's the best.
It's the best.
It's a thrill.
It feels so good.
That text I got, you.
It is urgent.
Could be.
It could be anything.
Yeah.
You're getting a job offer.
Yeah, and I need to respond
in the next 32 seconds.
Exactly.
Or it'll go to someone else.
We're going to get Grant Denia.
Damn it.
Oh, no, Andy.
Another job you were going for,
went to Grant Denia.
No, I was Jess in that scenario.
Yeah, man.
Have you ever heard of...
Grant and I go up against a lot of stuff, yeah.
Go up against a lot of stuff.
He was the first choice for Dugo on.
Really?
And the first choice for Jess writes a rom-com, actually.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Was it was a Grant rights of rom-romcom?
No, it was Jess writes a rom-romcom.
Roncom.
Yeah.
And so I felt like I was a bit of a shoe in.
Having written it.
Great.
I would love that.
Only if you...
You're on the spot here, really, by asking you on air.
Perfect way to do it, I think.
I'm on here.
Because I find that I go, oh, that person would not be interested in coming on the podcast.
And then when the podcast started to come out, people would message me and be like, I love Romcom's.
I was like, yes.
I think it's fine to, you know, put yourself out there.
I think so, too.
I think so too.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I always feel like that.
I won't start a podcast where we get guests.
That's why we only get a guest every 100th episode.
I think it's smart.
Every 100 episodes almost.
But every 100 episodes, you get 42 guests.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You could just have regular guests.
That's right.
Okay, now it's just us.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, this is really good now.
Okay, now we can get some really good sketch.
You know what happens when we get together.
Yeah, yeah.
We discovered the other day.
We get the sillies.
We get the sillies.
We start going, ah, spaghetti.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, immediately.
It was spaghetti.
Yeah, yeah, and it was very fun.
And I guess, let's go back to the dining area.
Maybe there's like sketch ideas in there.
Yeah, okay, great.
You know, and let's see.
I mean, it's always seen as such a romantic thing
to have two people eating from the same plate of spaghetti.
Yeah.
And then they suck up a noodle.
Yep.
And then they're both sucking on the same noodle.
Yeah, that's all.
The trouble is that there is actually so many noodles inside your average packet of spaghetti
that even when you are trying to do that,
it's actually really hard to do.
realistically, it's really difficult.
The noodles are not that long a lot of the time.
You probably can't even get a lot of range between where two people would be.
So I don't know.
I'm just suggesting, is there a packet of spaghetti, a romantic pack?
It's just one really long one.
Exactly, a romantini or something like that.
Or romangetti.
It would have to be like such a long packet.
Because also, I don't know if when you were growing up, this is, seen as a real culinary
sin, but if you break the
spaghetti before putting in the pot.
You know who gets really upset about that?
Italians? Yeah, and rightly so,
I think. Oh, yeah, yeah, of course.
Yeah, it's not over the top at all.
No, they're right to get angry. But I think
my mum did it because the first
thing that my dad would do when he's
eating spaghetti is like chop it up into tiny little
pieces and then just kind of like shovel it in. I'm like
what's the point of this? So, but
the packaging would have to be really sturdy
to make sure the Romantini
can stay. Do you think you could go like, does it?
just bend like this?
Oh, maybe.
And then it's, would it sort of unfurl to make one long?
Yeah, I think once it's in the pot,
it's just, you know, a one noodle,
a one pasta thing.
Oh, so good thing.
You can have a lady in the tramp thing.
Absolutely.
But, you know what would be beautiful?
And this would be a really good new dating show as well.
We have a super duper long one.
We put two people on either end of the thing.
They can't even see the person who's on the other end.
There are different ends of a block all around corners and stuff.
and they're slurping on the ground.
Yeah, and they're slurping their way along, getting closer and closer.
We know who, oh, but maybe if there's a bunch of different couples on the same show,
we don't know who's connected to which one, right?
So as they get closer, we're like, oh, and we're learning stuff about them.
They're sort of whispering things out of the corner of their mouth.
I think Andy and Jess would be a great.
Yeah, and I hope the end of his piece of pasta is in her mouth.
And then, like, you're going along, and we could do so much great stuff with editing
where we think they're just about to meet.
but oh no, it's somebody else.
You know what, I think a round table, right,
with a big plate.
Oh, really good.
There's six people sitting there.
Yeah.
And there's maybe like six noodles in there.
Yeah, they're all tangled up.
They start things.
As it gets, as it kind of starts to get tighter
and they're getting closer and they're sucking it up,
the other person that you've connected with,
you have to pull the noodle up through this hole
and there's a little lip glory hole there.
Oh.
And so you, like that,
and you both meet at the lip glory hole.
Have a little smooth.
Have a little smooch like that, and then you look through the hole and you look what they look like.
I think it should be, instead, that you are all sitting around the table, right?
There's like eight, nine, ten different people around the table.
You can all see each other.
All the pastor is on the, is sort of on the table there in front of you, all sort of tangled up and sitting on top of each other.
Everybody's slurping away.
Everybody can see, they don't know who's at the other end, but they're like making judgments and they're hoping.
it's going to be this person and that person,
we cut to all those behind the scenes interviews
and that sort of thing where they're like,
oh, it looked like my pastor was going towards his mouth.
Oh, yeah, we're going to go.
I was hoping it was going towards him.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And they get tired from the slurping as well.
Yeah, yeah, they get slurping fatigue.
And it's like, there's no sauce on it.
It's just, it's dry.
It's like, that's so bad.
Your lips would be all raw, you get rope burn.
People are partway through and they're putting lip balm on like this.
Just trying to like.
This is a new, we just invented a new disease.
pasta rope burn of the lip.
Yeah, yeah.
GPs are going,
oh, yep.
Oh, they're going to be cashing in, don't worry.
Yeah. I like that.
What about this?
It's a dating app,
but it only matches you up, like math style,
only matches you up with people you're going to hate
so that you get good stories out of it.
Oh.
You know, like if you're not ready to settle down,
but you just want something to talk about with your friends,
we're going to match you up with the most fucked up
weirdos and they like you know we're talking guys who won't take off their hat when they're
showering in bed yeah yeah yeah yeah we're talking guys who showering
well people always like when they go on bad dates or something ridiculous happens they're
like oh I guess it's for the plot I think that should be the name of this app is just people say
that yeah it's for the plot yeah because I think you know some people say such funny stuff that's
really good I love that I think it's a nice it's a positive spin on like something crazy
happened and you write like if you're not ready for dating but you kind of you know
but everybody else has got good stories and you don't have any I don't have any good stories
I might be up for what if you're just really good at dating and you're you're so accepting of people
and you're like you go on a state and you're like yeah you're the one like that straight away
you could do that on almost any date and you're like but I'm not getting any good stories
man I'm so easy to date I'm the perfect partner but man I need to have some stories
well come on to for the plot or the plot or something maybe don't mean
A plot.
You know.
Because it's like the plot of land where you go and like harvest your, these fucking idiots.
That's good.
And they grow underground, obviously.
These freaks.
Yeah.
They're a root vegetable.
I mean, maybe they're a bad root.
Maybe.
They're a bad root vegetable.
Come on, Andy.
That's good stuff.
I got to go pee now.
Oh, look at this.
Is your first one?
Yeah.
I want you to know.
Really well.
I'm concerned that it's quarter to two and you're only just peeing now.
Like, it's quarter to two.
Oh, my God.
Is it really?
Yeah.
We've been going for so long.
I haven't really looked at the clock even once.
Should I have not point that out to you?
Almost not enough sketches.
We got a lot of fire under this bad boy.
I checked in a little while ago on YouTube and I think you just hit 100 and it's slowed maybe.
Okay, but that's all right.
Okay.
But maybe I'll go over here so I can write things down if we have any ideas.
Sure.
This is going to be so good.
I just want to let you know that these skittles I brought in.
Oh, thank you.
Well, you brought those skittles.
Well, there's five multi-packs out there.
Yes.
Because when we did the podcast festival a couple of weeks ago, in my Coles grocery order,
I added one multi-pack of skittles.
And I thought that'll be a bit of fun in the green room.
A little sugar hit for a little bit.
Five turned up.
Turns out I had somehow accidentally ordered five instead of.
of one, which I don't think I did.
I think there was some sort of glitch.
So I spent $22.50 on Skittles.
I think that's really cool.
And so I've just left them here as communal Skittles.
Look, I've recently rediscovered Skittles as a thing,
and they're exactly the same as they always were.
Yes.
And they're fucking addictive, and it's dangerous.
And, like, they're one of those things where, like,
eating one, Skittl is pretty good.
eating like a whole handful of skittles all at once
is such an incredibly intense experience
and I think it's also almost like a greater than the sum of its parts
it's almost like a completely different experience
than having a single skittal
shove them all in there and you're like
I'm going all in
just having to like maintain a conversation
while eating this tiny pack
has meant I'm having maximum two at a time
and it is not as satisfying as just putting it in time
you want to just like
load it up
Oh, that's too many.
Oh, I just put them in anyway.
How would you feel about like buying some kind of
some kind of like cookie dough style tube
of almost pre-chewed skittles
so that they're already at that like mush state?
Just that like just that first couple of bites
where you've taken the hard shell off.
It's still there a little bit.
Yeah, there's a little bit of crunch.
They'll already, it's started to chew for you.
Yeah, I do like that actually.
Yeah.
I mean, it's,
This might not be soft enough.
Thank you so much, Alastair.
I'm sure people love hearing people speak with mouths full,
but honestly, these boys are going to be going for such a long time.
Let them eat.
Let me eat.
Let my people eat.
What do you think about a guy who can't stand up?
He can stand.
Like, okay.
He can sit, he can stand, he can walk, he's fine.
He's a triple threat.
But,
He cannot crouch
He can walk, he can stand, he can sit
He's an actor
This guy's the whole package
Girl, lock him down
He can't
But he can't go between sitting and standing
Without doing what you just did
Falling over back onto the chair
And is he an actor
He's in a movie
He can stand, he can sit
They can do all three at the same time
Yeah
But, like, you know, maybe he's in a really serious movie, okay?
You've cast him in a shindless list or something like that, and he's nailing every scene.
But all those bits where he has to stand up really look terrible.
I have to really edit hard around him.
I'm imagining him in church, in like a Catholic church service where you're up and down and up and a healing, sitting stand.
Every time.
Every time he's more.
Yeah.
And he's in one of the front pews, so everyone can see him too.
I think every time
What kind of reasoning do we have
Why he can't?
Oh,
She's a neurological thing
It's not that he's brain
I think
Yeah, I'm not a doctor
I don't know well
Yeah
The man's really un-
Put that down
He's not well
Because he's not well
Does that help
Is that help
He's not well
Production has to walk around a week
Has to work around
I just
I don't know if this is helpful
But I just want to say this
Because I was looking
I was watching this stream earlier
And I thought to myself
Andy
And I think Al as well
You have looked
Exactly the same
The entire time I've known you
Is definitely not true
But I'll take it
You look exactly the same
What do you mean?
What's changed?
Maybe your hair changed
I put on a lot of weight
No
I don't think so
you look almost the same
You look the same
Sure
10 plus years I reckon
Yeah I mean
I sneak up on you
You know
I do it gradually
I don't
I try not to do it all at once
Yeah
subtle changes
And you know
That's how I do it
I replayed
You know
Just little bits here and there
And you don't notice anything
It's like boiling a frog
Yeah okay
Looking at me
It's like bawling a frog
Sneaks up on you
But thank you
Yeah I mean it is it
I mean it as praise
Or like
I'm saying it
I'm saying it affectionately.
And that's, you know, for me not to have changed,
it's a very strategic move.
Yeah, right.
You know, it takes a lot of work.
Yeah, a lot of money.
Around my eyes, I'm like, I can really feel it now.
Like, it's around the eyes where I'm like,
mm.
And I go, holy fuck.
Holy fuck, I gotta start.
Don't you think that, like, the dimples around here,
there are a nice kind of, like, little bracket around your mouth?
Yeah.
Like, whatever you're saying is in brackets now.
Yeah.
You get to a certain point, and you've got these lines.
Like, it's like a...
This is all parenthood.
Yeah, this is just, oh, just a little side thought here.
Yeah.
It's another thing.
Yeah.
Although I, I kind of like that.
If you're going to do this, you should also do this, right?
Yeah.
New, new air punctuation.
Yes.
You do do that.
That's a little.
Yeah.
I am here.
Not really mentally.
Yeah, that's good.
That is good.
Yeah, that's the same thing, yeah.
What else is there then?
Do we need any others who have exclamation marks?
I was going to say, I quite like that as I'm ageing.
I get, like, when I smile, I get little lines here.
I feel like they're exclamation marks.
I'm laughing.
I'm like, ha, ha, ha.
You know, I'm really enjoying that.
If we were to, like, like, to add to the air quotes.
I think, like, you know, do a little exclamation mark like that.
Little, little straight bit, little.
I'm so happy to be here.
Yeah.
Question?
Is that what the, is that what these people are?
Oh, that's what they're doing.
It's exclamation marks.
That makes so.
much sense, yeah. I thought I could write the story of the question mark, how the question mark
got its dot, right? What about it's bend? I like that. Or it's bend, you know, there's a, I mean,
there's a whole, there's a whole, there's a lot of backstory to explore. Let's look at it. I think it got
its dot because it was, it was, it was, it was decap, it had its head cut off. Okay. Either by the state
for asking too many questions, you know, like maybe it was like a, it was, it was, it was, it was, the, the, the question mark
was the first
Maybe it's a drawing of
Like it's based on a real guy
The question mark
Is based on a real guy
Maybe called Mark
My name is Mark
I could see you running for the door
And I had to get there first
But I think it was a draw
Mark is also a man's name
Yes
Spaghetti
Question Mark
The Origin Store
M-A-R-C
Yeah
And I think
And I reckon maybe he's bent that way
because he was just so, is he navel-gazing?
Oh, he's questioning himself.
Questioning himself.
By questioning himself and saying that he might be flawed,
people think, oh, well, maybe the authority figures might be...
Phil is a bit of a stretch.
You don't think so?
No, I mean, very possible.
I mean, maybe nobody had thought about the possibility of flawedness.
I mean, they're all dots.
Yeah.
What are they like?
apostrophies
Apostrophies
This is the problem
Is it with a lot of them
Sure I can
I can get that the
Okay I get that the full stops
They would be like stop
Probably guards
Yes
Esclamation points are people with enthusiasm
Yeah
Then what are you getting
What are you doing for apostrophies
You know you're like
This is imagine this year like
They're like
Okay punctuation
We're
The studios bought punctuation
The rights to punctuation
So we're thinking about
making a movie.
Yeah.
We need all these characters.
We need like ampersand maybe.
No, he's not punctuation.
There's definitely going to be grandma Nazis in this movie.
Oh, yeah.
That could be the big bad.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
That sounds good.
But then there are people.
That's the problems.
I don't know if in this world of punctuation, there are people.
It's just like, maybe characters.
Maybe you can have the alphabet.
Right.
You know, maybe the parents or the uppercase,
are the uppercase letters
and the lowercase letters
are the kids
and sorry to hear my belly
just say yeah it's going crazy
and maybe the numbers
are the villains
we hate those
oh that's really good
numbers versus letters
I'm getting stuck on
if the uppercase letters are
so would uppercase A
be the parent of lowercase A
or does lowercase A
require two parents
so like what letters
make other letters make other
letters. Let's get into that.
Let's make the list.
Yeah, yeah. So we do have, well, because yeah, okay, wait, wait, wait, wait.
I mean, like, because there are some characters that our two letters put together.
Sure.
Yeah, what was that one? The diphthong.
The diphthong.
The diphton.
Yes.
Oh, yeah.
A and E.
When they have, like, a little fancy, little fancy.
I had to go to bloody diphthong the other day because I got a, A&E.
I had to go A&E because I had a, like emergency.
broke my ankle.
Oh, did you?
No.
Have you heard anything recently?
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Could I be concerned?
No, I was just trying to think of a joke about calling.
Having to go to A&A.
I got it.
Yeah, thanks very much.
Sorry about him.
Numbers are villains.
He tries his best.
He does his best.
You're only stuck with him the rest of the time.
Yeah, I think the war between the letters and the numbers, that's just a small, that's just a background.
Whoa, you're throwing that away as a background?
It's the background to the question.
Mark Origin story.
I'm throwing it away as a background.
What about this? Alphabeter.
It's a better alphabet.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yes.
And like there's obvious stuff that we've talked about endlessly on this podcast before.
Like getting rid of letters that you don't need.
We're not doing that anymore.
No, no.
We're just coming out new alphabet.
Completely new alphabet.
Oh, I like that.
Okay.
Okay.
So we'll start with Bersch.
Bersch.
Bersh.
Okay.
Bursch.
We use that like an A
All our letters are
You've got to refer back to the original alphabet
To understand what any of them are
Because people aren't going to want to learn a whole new alphabet
Yeah, right
You use it like an A
Does it make the sound, eh?
Yep
Okay, great
Wow
But it's called
Bersh
Bersh
Yeah, yeah
It's going to be really hard to uphold this whole
Better promise that we made
For the naming of the alphabet
Second one is
Snuggle
Snuggle
Okay.
Bursh is and B.
No, no, yep.
Good.
And then, do you want to keep going?
Yep.
Bersh, snuggle.
Florin?
Florin.
That'll be M.
Oh, okay.
We're not going on.
I think you don't need both to need M and N.
No, what would, I mean, in all seriousness, and maybe you are being serious, Alistair,
what would a new and better alphabet, would it offer?
How would it improve things?
and more importantly, how can we monetize it?
Okay?
Like, I think...
Well, let's make it a subscription service.
Okay.
If you want to know the alphabet.
And then we put access to God through only this thing.
We say it's God's alphabet.
Yeah, okay.
You get access.
You can speak God's language.
I was like, this is actually the language God's.
And he said it in this language, which is the language that Moses heard in his ear.
and we've decoded it based on how he repeated it.
So it's kind of like if you want to understand God better, you learn this language.
But now you can use this alphabet for other stuff, not just God's words,
like you can use it to write erotic literature.
Imagine reading erotic literature in the voice of God
or using it as a, you know, paint the sign for your car bodywork corporation,
but now you can do it in the letters that God use.
That God can read.
And God will be able to read it.
mind and he can hear your prayers, but he can't read any of your signs.
Oh, is that true?
He can't read your handwriting or anything like that because he doesn't know that alphabet.
So where's God going to go get his card detailed now?
The sign he can read.
Exactly. Anytime he takes human form as his son or cousin or something like that,
I guess he can be all the family members.
He says come on as his own grandpa.
I wonder if he's ever come on as an older version of him.
I reckon he could.
Anyway, then he'll probably use your detailer if he's in town.
Yes, I mean, what a thing to be able to put.
You know how that place in the city used to have Bill Clinton had three bowls or whatever at the noodle place?
Imagine if you could say God got his car detailed here.
Oh, man.
That would be huge.
Yeah, but do you think everyone...
What an influencer he'd be.
You know how you go to any country town and they have a sign in the bakery window that they had the best slice?
Like, do you think, do you think just card details would just start putting that?
Everyone would just, claiming God had done.
Maybe, maybe in time.
Maybe people would think that they could then show up and say,
hey, I'm the incarnation of God.
Can I get my card detailed for free?
Yeah, if I.
Yeah.
Yeah, if I promise to bless you.
And then the car detail is like, can you prove that your God?
And the guy's like, that's pretty rude.
Yeah.
I don't.
How dare you doubt.
Yeah, I mean, proof denies faith.
Without faith, I'm nothing.
I do think that the Messiah coming back
and trying to use it to get free stuff
is a very good idea.
Yeah, like being an influencer type thing.
I'll pass it on to my followers.
Yeah, yeah, get a good, you know,
I'll do a nice psalm about your restaurant
if you let me have a free dessert.
I think that's definitely something to think about
is that if God did come back
and he took human form and he had that much power,
It would be hard for it to not corrupt him and make him be a bit of a jerk.
Wow.
Yeah.
And be, you know, the temptation to use that platform and, you know, his podcast, I guess.
Yeah, I was just thinking that if God came to earth, what job would he fall into?
And I think it would be podcaster.
Isn't it crazy that he would, yeah.
The thing is that all the social media handles, like God and stuff, would already be taken.
so the real god would have to have one that was like god 29 or something like that
or like actually god 29 or the real god official yeah underscore 16 or something yeah so still
even with all that yeah yeah yeah yeah he's like should i wait until i phone one that's like yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah i've written down the messiah coming back and using it to get free stuff
What about God trying to get the right Instagram handles?
Do you think that we would allow that to be a separate?
Yep, yep.
Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
We need.
God 69.
Oh, that'd be really good.
Oh, be so good.
I just want to have a quick look to see if that's taken.
Imagine.
God underscore underscore 60.
God 69.
I mean, you bound to get it or 69.
There's God 69 069.
So yeah, that's, yeah.
You didn't need to put those both in there.
Yeah, maybe, but, yeah, God 69 must have been taken at the time.
So, yeah, that, yeah, somebody else has, unfortunately thought like us.
I'm just going to see, because I just want to see, okay, not so good.
Wait, oh, it's my beloved.
Okay, right, what about something about, uh, knives?
Can we do any sketch ideas with knives?
Yep, sure.
Yeah, baby, yep, yep, yep, yep.
Um, what about a knife that cuts through tough grease?
Oh.
Spray on knife. Is that what you're thinking?
Like a spray on knife. You spray it and it cuts.
Yeah, maybe. I don't mind that. Thank you.
Yeah, I think that's fun.
Well, like, it's a mist.
They're all little blades.
So, like, if you spray it on your finger, it just shreds your finger.
It's sort of like, you know, the hose that has settings, it's like mist or like a really sharp one.
It sort of depends on what setting you have it on.
If you had it on mist, it would probably just be like, ow.
But if you had it on a...
Little cuts.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And it's almost like paper cut time because they're so tiny.
But if you had it on the really full-on...
Oh, yeah, you just cut right through your feet.
Could you, like, would you use it for cutting up food?
Like, if it was like little squirts at little particles of like dry ice
or even just regular ice, right, and they're tiny little sharp little crystals,
you could use that to like slice stuff but then it evaporates and then it's fine and it's safe to eat.
Or is it on some more fundamental level where we have...
you know, the essence of sharpness, and it's a concept,
more than it is a practical thought.
Or is it like a lightsaber as a knife and fork?
A lightsaber already is a knife.
Yeah, but like you use the dining table.
Okay, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, a little mini.
I mean, I guess picturing little, yeah, little mini lightsabers in the Star Wars world
used for cutting up steak and things like that.
Yeah, they're still using cutlery.
Dining saber.
Star Wars world.
Yeah, yeah, like a dessert.
A dessert cyber.
Yes, exactly.
It feels silly.
Carving saber.
It feels silly if they're just using regular cutlery
when they have lightsaber technology.
Cut through your meat with a little tiny mini one.
Come on.
I don't know if we ever really saw the cutlery that they use in...
Yeah, just dark way to eat?
I haven't watched enough of the new stuff,
but I think that maybe you should also just be able to take your regular,
saber and just put it on a lower setting.
Dinner and it's like just dinner.
Put it on the dinner setting.
And it's only like this big.
Yeah, it's like that and you just go like that was your day.
And you say don't least like it's like it's like it doesn't cut through plates because
that would be the biggest issue.
Totally yes.
Continuously cutting through plates.
Yeah.
You could have like kid ones.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
Like little kid knives.
You can cut kids.
Cool.
It cuts through kids.
Yeah.
Which they did do with the big ones I think in the third movie or the second movie.
Oh, great.
Yeah.
They found all the young.
ones and then
I mean I didn't really
I didn't watch that because I don't think that's okay
I discovered the word endling
the other day I think in a quiz
which it means the last of a species
how sad is that
it's so sad
ending little endling
the last one
it also infantilises that last
I agree
which I think it's the last
great white shark and we're like
oh you're ending
oh it's so sad
what would we do
if there was the last great white shark you know do you think that we would try and give it
a dream existence of like putting it in a pool with a lot of swimmers and stuff and just like
giving it a great send off or it can just go go hog wild on a on like a captive population
of um you know of surfers yeah you know are people volunteering to be in that pool i guess they would
be yeah i think like we'd probably feel guilty about what we've done
to the population
probably be like
yeah all right
I'll sign up
yeah
you know maybe it's a
it's a choice
yeah
it's a beautiful way to go
yeah I mean
I think dea we should
let's see
I guess first
we could put
some a bunch of
hot other sharks
in there
yeah
you know
and see if maybe
it'll breed
with those ones
interesting
that might be a bit
insulting
that's fine
I don't mind
insulting
if it gets
like do you think
like if you were the last
if you were the last
how oh
how insult
But if you were the last monkey, I mean last person,
how would you feel about being put in a swimming pool
with a lot of sexy monkeys?
Would you feel condescended to?
Well, it depends.
We don't know if naturally the Great Whites ever do
make babies with other sharks.
But I suspect that, well, isn't that what species are
that they don't really, doesn't really happen?
If it's a different species and it can't work,
then it doesn't matter.
Is that I mean every great white shark is purebred?
Could be.
Yeah, pedigree.
Great white power.
Like great white supremacy.
Do you think that the idea of the last great white shark living in a pool and we all go feed ourselves to it to say sorry?
We let it bite us.
Do you think that that's a sketch idea?
I mean, I know it's not funny per se, but it might be, there might be something interesting.
It's the last one.
Maybe your mom's like, you know, suggesting like, just let it buy you.
Last one.
Yeah, just bite you a little bit.
Just be nice.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Let me cut your wrist and we'll just get a little bit of blood in the water just to give him a thrill.
You'll like it.
Yeah.
Come on.
Come on.
Be nice to the shark.
Being so selfish.
May I have one of those chocolates.
Chocolatos.
I am going to throw it at you though.
Yeah, that'd be great.
Which one do you want?
Yeah, the Mars bar would be terrific.
I never really liked the Twix.
Yeah, I'm not a huge Twix fan.
Do you feel about, in general, biscuits and cheese?
chocolate going together. Oh, what a great question. I think actually fairly positive.
Really? Yeah. I'm quite negative about it. I like a Tim Tam. I like a caramel. I like a
Tim Tam. Don't mind a mince slice. The only good one is the mint slice. Yeah, I like a mint slice.
It's a perfect ratio and everything works together really well, but everything else, I'm like,
this would be better if you just kept them separated. Yeah, I think the ratio matters very much.
And I think it's too Biscuity and the Twix. Completely agree. Yeah. Yeah. It's probably a little
bit of biscuit.
Oh, too much.
Yeah, that's not a little bit, it's mostly biscuit.
Mostly, look at all that caramel there.
No, I want more caramel.
And there's not much, there's not much chocolate on the outside.
Yeah, yeah.
I'll take it if I'm desperate, but I'm usually not desperate.
I wonder if the golden ratio only applies to geometrical things,
or can you also use the golden ratio?
You know about the golden ratio?
Can you also use it for chocolate and biscuits?
You know?
Does it only work for designing the Parthenon,
or could you also use it on
Building a Better Tim Tam.
I saw that Instagram really.
You saw, but you forgot it.
No, no, it was inspired.
Your statement.
Exactly right.
Yeah.
All right.
Partha gnoms.
It's little snacks.
Parthenom-noms.
Yep.
All right.
It's really satisfying.
What are they made of?
What are they made of?
What are they made of?
I think you could make
I think a biscuit right
that was like a
looked like a building
chocolate roof
whole lot of little wafer columns
then another like biscuity chocolate base on it there
and when you bite it into it
all the chocolate columns crunched down like that
pancaking
Pancaking effect
you bite your way through it
right
it would be it would be the crunchiest thing ever
yeah but does this go against your sort of chocolate and biscuit thing
Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
But I'm willing to make sacrifices.
Not a lot of inconsistent.
But we need to, like, does it need to be more linked to the ancient Greeks in some way?
You know, like, you know, maybe they're like, yeah.
What about full meals?
No, wait, okay.
Well, what about...
Because it's just kind of a chocolate...
Spaghetti!
Yeah, yeah, but it's just a chocolate biscuit that's shaped like the parthenon.
Yeah, yeah, I know.
It's not a sketch idea.
I say Parthenan?
Like, you know, it's not...
No, no, no, but I want, you know, I want...
We can do this, we can do this.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, like, what happened there?
Who was there?
With the Greeks, the ancient Greeks, a bunch of...
Yeah, I think it was a temple.
It may have been, you know, temple to Zeus or...
Or Zeus and stuff like that, like that, yeah.
Olympia, Olympia, Olympia.
Olympia?
Is that the mountain?
Yeah, I mean, was that in the mountain?
Is that where they lived?
They lived on Mount Olympus.
They lived on Mount Olympus.
I thought maybe Olympia is when you have more than one Olympus.
Could be, yeah.
And, yeah.
All right, chocolate biscuit shaped like the thing.
I don't know.
What about chocolate biscuits that are shaped like your own face?
Or like being able to like, you know, could we, can we,
I presume that we can actually get 3D printing involved in chocolate biscuits.
Surely, yeah.
And in chocolate in general.
Like you could probably 3D print chocolate replicas of any.
anything that you want.
Yeah.
Right?
And I think you should be able to basically 3D print any object you like out of chocolate
and then feel what it's like to eat that thing if it was made out of chocolate.
What would be really nice is they have 3D printed meat now, right?
So you should be able to 3D print and then eat your favorite celebrity.
Yes.
Yes.
How would it take you to eat a whole?
Bradley Cooper.
It's actually just easy for us to buy a whole Tom Cruise.
And then just freeze it.
and then just throw them out every now and then
and just kind of...
The problem is...
Are you thinking it's meat?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Not chocolate anymore.
Okay.
No.
But I think that's a great idea.
Do you think the problem would be
that people are only going to want to eat
like Tom Cruise's face
or something like first?
And then you're going to have a whole lot of Tom Cruise's torso
that nobody wants to eat.
Because you only want to eat the recognisable bits.
I think it's still be fun knowing
it's Tom Cruise's or so and his...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.
I mean, what a great...
People are going to want to...
want to eat the cock.
What a great.
They're not starting with the face.
I think they're starting with the cock.
But also, do you ever eat teddy bear biscuits as a kid?
And sometimes you'd, I think it said a lot about a person how they ate a teddy bear biscuit,
whether they went for limbs first to kind of torture the teddy or if they merciless and ate
it out of its misery.
Maybe it would say a lot about you as well if you were like, I'm going to eat the face of
this celebrity that I love.
But I feel like that's what you're paying for because otherwise it's just a body.
I think
I think that this genuinely
would be a really good business
Absolutely
And I think
You know
I think we buy the rights
To these people as well
No no I'm not buying the rights
No we're buying the rights
We want to do a good
You know
We want to do a full body scan
To get it accurate
So I think we need them on board
These are official
Celebrity endorsed
Celebra bodies
Celebrer burgers
I'm already going on the business
I'm already going on the business
Because of the licensing fees
For these people's bodies
No, I think we, you know, we put the, we set the price and we do it all here and square.
Yeah, this is, I think, yeah, yeah, publicly available images.
Right.
Yeah, and then I just, yeah, I'm making, yeah, I'm making bootleg Tom Cruises.
And I'm cooking them up and making, you know, just we're having meatloaf.
We're making balagnets.
Balognaz.
Oh, you know what goes nice with balanais?
Spaghetti!
Yeah, she did it.
Joe Spurkids, everybody.
Thank you very much for coming.
Thank you so much.
Full circle moment.
I'm going to take a Mars bar.
Please, please, please.
I believe in you.
Thank you so much for coming on.
Of course.
And for helping and for...
See you never. Bye.
Yeah.
Isn't there a dog here?
Yeah.
Oh man, that's a lot of hair.
Oh, that's a big dog.
But I think, you know,
it'd be great if you could cast a whole meal,
you know, like not just the first course,
but all the courses,
different celebrities, you know,
not just printed out of meat,
but also printed out of chalk.
You could have like an Ocean's 11 meal.
Exactly.
Please welcome our next guest, Jack Drew.
Ocean 7-Eleven.
Welcome, Jack.
Hello.
How are you?
Hello.
Oh, hello.
Yes, and also you.
I worry we've slowed down too much.
Not to put pressure on us, Alashton.
Yeah, I mean, I'm trying to pick up the pace.
Yeah, let's come on with some fucking energy, boys.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Go, come on, sketches.
What about a big big that goes,
to space.
Yeah, okay, how big way?
Is it we riding a pig to space?
I'm thinking, yeah.
Is the fire blasting out of its anus?
Yeah.
Fires out of its anus.
You've got like extra jet streams coming out of its nostrils.
I mean, that's the thing is that a lot of animals do fly, right?
And so it would be perfect to ride up into space.
Yeah.
But maybe not a pig.
But what if we're riding an animal into space theoretically?
Yeah, the pork industry is pretty big.
And so they would have money.
and they would want to have their images be seen from space.
What could be more?
I mean, imagine that.
Imagine a pig that's been cooked by burning up on re-entry.
Oh, yeah.
Like the pigs, we tell everyone where the pig's going to crash land
and everybody's going out there to be the first to be able to eat that,
you know,
that atmosphericly cooked pig.
What about this, right?
It's like one of those cooking reality shows.
And it's called like Barbecue Pitmasters or something.
It's going around all the different teams and the meals that.
made and it gets to one team and it's like
you don't even have a pig
did you even try? And there's like
uh don't I tried and then you just hear this
you just
from above
like that huge crater
they misjudged a little bit
it kills everyone
oh no yeah I mean that's great
molten pork scattered
through the atmosphere
but then you know
somebody picks their
you know one of the rescue crews picks their way
across this blasted feel,
the remains of all these people around
picks up a bit of bacon.
Yeah.
It's delicious.
It's perfect.
Yeah.
And it was worth it.
Yeah, yeah.
That's how, you know, all the...
It's a true silver lining.
Yeah.
He just pulls off a thing like a...
Is that what you've pictured in?
Yeah, maybe picks it up.
I was just like a little scrap of...
Oh yeah, a little scrap, sure.
You know, whatever.
But, you know, they can pick up a whole leg if you want.
Like an obelics and asterix.
How good that bore?
looks. Always looked so good. It looked incredible the way you would eat that boar.
I didn't know you could just have a like a drumstick of boar.
Well, of course, Obelix would eat the whole carcass. You'd hold it up like that.
I mean, that's crazy. Do you remember the one where they go to Egypt and it's like the same, whatever
juicy animation style they're doing that makes it look so appetizing?
It's like, oh yeah, like a double humped camel.
Yeah.
Whoa, he's eating a full camel?
Yeah, man. I've never eaten camel.
I don't know if you could do that now
like something about like making
eating heaps of food
seem really aspirational to kids
it was like exciting
and tips of food and drinking lots of beer as well
yeah being real drunk
everybody's drunk a lot
I remember being a kid and watching The Simpsons
and thinking like when Homer would go to the pub
with his friends and I'd be like man
drinking beer all the time is what I want to do
isn't it?
That's cool behaviour
that I respect.
Yeah.
I mean, so what could we do?
Like, what could be the equivalent of that for today?
You know, like, what is it okay to promote to kids, like, in that world where it's like,
this is, it is all right to put that out there.
Yeah.
I mean, there's awful stuff like exercise and, you know, recycling, that kind of thing.
You could, but something that gives you real deep, like satisfaction and,
and pleasure, like drinking.
Yeah.
Oh, with no downside.
I mean, I guess you could just draw certain things.
Like, I guess you could sort of draw like a bunch of like a big plate of like crickets and worms and things like that.
This is the propaganda from the people trying to get us to eat insect.
Yeah, of course.
Yeah, big worm like that.
And they just like, you know, they slurp it up and they're like, mm like that, like a big worm.
And then like maybe they're slicing up witchy grubs and they're.
you know, pan-frying them and, like, you know, the way that, like, anime can make food.
Yeah, yeah.
I have a bunch of mouthful of, like, tarantulas, you know, like, oh, yum, like that.
Sprinkle and, um.
Are there any restaurants trying to make food look like it looks like in anime?
Like, trying to cook stuff that where it looks exactly the same.
I don't know what our technology is that allows us to do that, but you're like, we really, like,
it's animal meals.
Yeah, I mean, to, like, draw it so it looks at anime.
Copyright that as quick as you can.
Yeah.
Quick.
What about this, based on what you said when you came in,
it's hiring a guy to come into your office and just shout,
bring up the energy, everybody!
It turns out it works really great.
This guy, he's walking from cubicle to cub,
and he's like, come on, everybody, let's look lively all day.
Sort of like a productivity fluffer.
Yes.
Yeah, yeah.
And it's all just done by just yelling stuff.
Yeah.
And at the end of the day, this guy's worn out.
I mean, he goes home.
You should see it, because it really takes it out of him.
Yeah, but he's learned enough lines.
Like, he only need about to know about 500 good inspirational lines
that you can just, like, cycle through over, you know,
you don't say it more than once a week, you know, each time like that.
And then that way you can keep it fresh,
but it's all just kind of like a patter.
It's a routine that he goes through.
I mean, it has to be.
I guess he can be riffing.
He does a fair bit of just like, ah, that as well.
And he runs after people and,
pretending like to tickle them like he's about oh okay come on get some work done yeah that would be
that would find me up in the boardroom of a big huge financial company yeah running around trying to
tickle me yeah i mean it is it is wrong you shouldn't tickle people at work yeah but is it wrong to
like pretend that you're going to tickle people at work yeah make them work harder um maybe not
i mean you know especially considering the harder they work the more likely they to get promoted
that's right for them it's for them it helps that
You know, you're only doing it.
And then a lot of these, like, the number of people that I have threatened to tickle that are now in management positions.
Yeah.
And all the notes said it was because of their hard motivation, their work.
I mean, maybe this guy, you know, doing a job like this, you can work up to the point where all you do is yell at the CEO to make better business decisions or something like that.
At some point where you just don't see him in the office anymore and he's just always in.
and the CEO's just all the CEO's office yelling at him yeah maybe that's making like that's given
the CEO kind of like a you know he's actually starting to crash internally because the amount
of time the guy spending there makes him feel like he's not doing a good enough no you know he
realizes that he's not even he doesn't even feel like he needs to motivate anybody because he realizes
the whole direction of the business that's what about a CEO who realizes who starts to get really
sad because he realizes
that all the people at his company are only
there because they're getting paid
and like he feels
so sad about it and he's
crying a lot. The people in the
company feel so bad that they agree to work for free
because he feels... Fear them up a little bit.
Yeah. Yeah. Like they're like
you're right. Would you take a pay cut?
Yeah. Like oh no we're not just here for
the money. Or would you take a
pay? Yeah.
Would you come on the weekend?
Are you seeing your friends on the weekend?
Yeah.
So, but you don't come in here on the,
does that mean I'm not your friend?
Yeah.
I just, I can, I can come on the weekend.
Oh.
It's like a couple, first thing in the morning.
What is that?
I love my boss.
A documentary on this crying boss where it's like,
it's all the,
the style of like one of those
like a documentary on like a Bill Gates
or a Elon Musk about them like
like being these cutthroat
how they get these results
how are they building this company
but all the footage they're using is them
just sort of softly weeping
and I'm sorry
him being super pathetic
yeah I remember hearing there was some stories
about like Harvey Weinstein
kind of being like that to kind of convince
women to have sex with them
does that work does it
I think so yeah I guess
you're both in a position of power,
but then also using weird, like, psychological addictness.
Yeah, yeah.
I had an idea before.
I don't know if we've,
what we're just talking about is too close,
but, like, I don't think it is.
It's like a, I forgot what we're doing.
It's not too close.
It's a fresh original idea.
But it's like a profile on all the,
like the world's top CEOs on how they got to the top.
And, like, you're studying the common factors
to see, like, what are the,
What leads to someone getting ahead in business
But every single time it was that they thought this guy was going to tickle them
If they didn't lock in and do it
And so it's like the common thing along all the
What's the same guy?
Yeah, there's one man
Everyone on the Forbes list
Was so worried about this man
Maybe tickling them
That they had to like lock in and take over the world
Does he call them up do you reckon
There's one man
Who's behind the success of most of the
you know, Forbes 500 list CEOs
and he's threatened to tickle them
if they don't do a better job.
Any industry, real estate, technology, finance, the stock market.
He'll tickle anyone.
Yeah, I mean, and then it would be great.
Like you see that...
Of his, those big fingers.
Yeah, I was going to say, he has really long fingers.
Yeah. That photo that they do
where they get all the billionaires together and they take a photo of them
for the front cover of the magazine or whatever
and you look really closely
you can just see him in the shadows in the back there
I never noticed that guy before
but he was there the whole time
and then they also have those like
before photos like the photos of like
Jeff Bezos and is working
in his garage in the 90s but the guy with the
fingers is behind him there as well
he's always there with his fingers
yeah a lot of businesses started
in garages and you know
a lot of creeps
start by breaking into a house through the garage
door, which is one of the weakest entry.
Thank you. Great.
I just thought together we could make that work.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, you did really well.
Yeah, yeah.
That's often where, that's where the scream,
ghost-faced guy,
that's where he started killing a lot of people,
I think, in the garage door, maybe.
Isn't that lady get caught in the garage door?
She's trying to get out through the...
In-scenes scream.
Yeah.
I mean, isn't it weird as a killer?
Let's say you're a killer.
and you want to kill people with a big knife.
One of the first things you do is put on something that really restricts your vision.
You ever worn a mask?
No, but I think that's a really good point.
You'd think you'd want to increase your vision, if anything.
You'd want to be 360, yes.
How do you get 360?
You'd think if anything, you'd want to sort of drill holes in the side of your head here
so that you can look to the side even better.
Pull your eyeballs out and just push them, tape them here.
No, but that's something a prey would do.
You do want the eyes on the front like a predator, don't you?
Like, you're not attacking people from the side.
Could we see 360 if we didn't have these damn skulls in the way?
There's damn head in the way?
I mean, could we see behind us?
If light came in and hit the white bit from the back, hit it from the back.
Would light go in?
Does light go into the white?
Does light go into the white and then go into our brain?
I don't think light goes in the white.
If we had clear skull.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah.
You don't think so?
They'd be pretty good.
What about a, like a crystal skull, like the Indiana Jones and the vodka and all that?
Yes, or a Dan Aykroyd's vodka.
I mean, that would be, would you think that that would be one of the coolest accessories.
A clear skull.
A clear skull.
Yeah.
And you come in, it's like, you know, it's just this guy you compete with in the, a bit in the scene.
You've ever seen you're in.
Yeah, could be stand up.
But yeah, he's, he's just got a special.
It's gone really well.
And then he's gone out and got himself a full, clear skull.
Yeah.
You know?
And then you're like jealous as heck.
Oh, man.
Where I am with my, my trans skin and bones.
Opaic.
Opaic.
Yeah.
Like that.
And you can see his brain pulsating.
And you can see how much doing crowd work.
It just like fires up.
Like that fires up.
And he's almost better at crowdwork now than he ever has ever has been.
and you go home and you cry to your wife a little bit.
You're like, I think it's the clear skull that's helping him.
He's got an unfair advantage.
He's looking at his pulsating brain.
They don't even care what he's saying.
It's too easy.
They love to do MRIs on people at the top of their field
when they're doing various different activities
to see what's happening in their brain
when they're like playing the cello or something like that.
I'd love to do that and see what it's like when somebody's doing crowd work.
Yeah.
In an MRI, you know, in front of a crowd.
And we see the human brain just working at its absolute peak.
It's the ultimate pursuit.
What do you do for work?
Oh, yeah.
He asks two of the doctors if they're a couple.
And all the stuff is just off the charts.
Oh, whoa.
You're all pathways.
No one could have possibly comprehended.
Anybody here from out of town?
Yeah.
The machine starts smoking.
The human brain is just lit up.
like a Christmas tree.
The brain is going off.
It is popping off.
What about this, right?
All these CEOs and brilliant entrepreneurs
starting their thing out of a garage.
What about this?
Building a real, like as they get more and more successful,
they just keep building bigger and bigger garages.
So like it's the, you know, Amazon, right?
It's still out of a garage.
but it's like this massive, you know, 20-acre garage.
It looks exactly the same as the garage from back home.
An homage.
An homage to the garage.
An homage, a garage homage.
So he just keeps getting a bigger and bigger garage.
Yeah, yeah.
And he starts buying the neighbors.
And eventually it's, you know, he's mostly one of the last houses,
at least on this part.
30% of the entire North American mainland is just one big garage.
Yeah.
That's cool.
And then he can't actually go and open an up.
another warehouse anywhere else because he's just
I don't know why.
I think you could have like sub-garages
like within this one big
garage like if the Amazon headquarters
was this colossal garage
then within that like each
cubicle sort of had its own
like each one had its own like bikes
sort of hanging up and a few boxes
of like winter clothes no one uses
and just that general garage
thing. You've got to have all that stuff around
that inspires
entrepreneurial
success. Yeah. Entrepreneurial.
Or then, okay, the alternative is to have just a tiny garage that you just put over your head.
You know, like it's just this big about the size of a milk crate.
Yeah. And you just put it on your head and then you can just sort of...
He's always in the garage. He allows them to start companies up more frequently.
Maybe. I just, yeah, well, you know, a lot of companies have started in a garage.
I'll just wear a garage over my head while I'm sleeping. Then when I'm sleeping, I could start
companies. Sometimes I do. I wake up and I've started all the... I started six,
Seven companies.
Maybe he gets the garage implanted under the skin,
replaces the skull thing.
The entire framework and shape of his head is now a garage.
So his brain is just in there.
It's got a beautiful gable skull like that there.
Yeah, yeah.
Someone pulls the garage door opening thing,
you get to see behind his eyes.
Oh, yeah, man, but he has a little garage door for his face.
Yeah.
It opens up if he wants to talk.
talk to you.
But then or else he's just focusing and creating companies.
No, you can't talk to him.
He's coming up with new businesses.
He's starting companies.
He's putting investor funding into sort of big ideas.
Oh, that'd be beautiful.
What about a means of like harvesting the dreams of like a CEO or something where it's all,
you've got stuff scanning their brains while they dream and that's connected.
to some AI thing that's connected to people like doing trademarking businesses and stuff
like that and so you go to sleep and you wake up and you've created like five new real world
businesses based on what your subconscious was putting together yeah but they are all sort
of dream world business was where it's like a sausage chasing you what if there was a sausage
that could chase you yeah this guy is so convinced in his his own belief he's in his own
own genius that he doesn't think he's ever had a bad idea, even when he's sleeping.
Like one in 50 is this like genuine pure creativity out of the box idea that it's like
revolutioning, but then like the other 49 are like, okay, yeah, what if an eel could sing
the blues and it's also your dad and you got a, and this is the business.
You have to teach an eel to sing the blues and make out your dad as well.
People will say, well, how do you monetize that?
but they're saying the same thing about Chachy-B-T.
So it's not like whether you can monetize it seems to be any barrier at all
to getting these things off the ground.
And automatically it's like some people go and they start up a bar
and they get a big eel and they give it a guitar and they're like and it's in there
and they basically somehow get vocalizations out of it and people go see it
and it's like up on a screen says, I am your dad.
And people are like, I will pay for this, I think.
Yeah.
And they just give it money.
And they're like, okay.
It's like, because the biggest mistake that you can make is knowing,
is assuming that you know how successful a company will be.
Yes.
You just got to have the ideas and get them started and then let the world decide whether
or not this is what they want.
Have all those like thought leader people being like, you know, 20 years ago.
You couldn't have imagined that your phone was going to be something you needed every single way.
So now, who are you to say that an eel singing the blues, who is also your dad,
won't be the most essential thing in the world in 20 years?
You know, progress is not linear.
and, you know, the only mistake is having a closed mind with these kinds of things.
But I also love that, like, this guy's so successful, got so much money from his few businesses that are successful.
He's able to open so many of these new businesses that make no sense to anybody.
And people are going out just like trying to find like a corner store where they can buy some food and they can't.
Because everything is just like an insane dream business of this lunatic.
I just want a place where I can just get a sandwich or some bread.
or, you know, I just need, like, bread and milk or whatever like that.
And he's like, no, no, no, no, okay, how about this?
You're really tiny.
What about?
You're really tiny, okay?
And then, like, you can feel this sort of gravelly feeling, but...
And you're attached to your loved ones by your nipples like that.
And then you have this experience together, and it's unique.
And it could be the most, you know, the thing that brings you guys together.
It could be the thing that separates you apart.
And that's how you decide whether or not you want to be together forever.
So like for this CEO dream guy
It's like all the things start going bad in his personal life
And suddenly every business is about like your teeth falling out
And you're stuck in a big pit
It's constantly new, nightmareish
It's like yeah, it's a weird business
Where you sort of show up naked to work
Yeah
But everybody is now living in this guy's nightmare one
Right? That is the reality that is being created
Because he made one company that went super well
So well.
He just has an unlimited amount of money for a guy to spend.
You can just have this happening.
And he's just...
And the business that he had that went really well is just something like a cheese delivery service or something like that.
A very normal thing.
And he was like, people said it was a crazy idea back in those days that nobody would want to have cheese delivered directly to their door.
But yeah, well, then maybe they will want a sausage chasing them.
You know, that's a fun experience.
That's...
You know, what happens when the sausage catches you?
Maybe you can eat the sausage.
Be hungry people.
How do you...
I mean, Jeff Bezos chose books as a thing to deliver because they were easy to package up and distribute, right?
Basically because they are just like a solid rectangle.
And Netflix was doing DVDs, I think, because they could put them in the mail and it was easy to send them out.
But the same could be said of cheese.
You know, are either your craft slices as the singles or you get the, you know, you've got your rectangular.
Have single slices of cheese meal.
Exactly right.
It's a subscription service where you get, I get two or three slices.
of cheese arrive in the mail every single day.
Yeah.
Okay.
Or it's like one of those like bicycle couriers can like find you on the go and like a like a relay
baton just like give you a single single slice as you're on the go.
There you go.
That would be something.
What about like what you're saying is like the, because I didn't I didn't know that was
like choosing to books because they're a simple easy delivery thing.
I believe so.
I didn't know that was part of it.
What about a guy sees the success of a Jeff Bezos and.
and starts his own company, which is just rectangle delivery.
Yes.
He hasn't fought through the other element of it,
which is that books have a utility that people might want to read what is the book.
He just sees it as like, well, I can do better than Bezos.
I can just deliver pure rectangles.
Pure rectangles.
And what is that to you, Jack?
When you envisage a pure rectangle, by the way, I love this idea.
Yeah, yeah.
What is the pure rectangle to you?
I'm imagining a rectangular object of a probably,
the lightest material you can
affordably produce
It's lighter than a book
Yeah I like it made of that stuff
That they make those Eucharists out
So it's kind of like a foam
But it's also something that you can eat
By the way I just did this to you
Which means what's that thing?
You get punched me on the leg
I get to punch you on the leg
But I think it's got to be below your waist
In order for it is below where my waist
Would be if I was standing
Yeah that's true
It's always below somebody's waist somewhere mate
Yeah
Maybe not
It's over the yard arm
I guess I'm below the waist
of somebody on the other side of the world
there we go
I wonder if somebody's standing on the exact opposite end
of the world is where I'm sitting right now
they're doing their 500th podcast
they're doing their 500th podcast
or doing the opposite 0-0-05
to come up with 0-0-05
and then every episode
they only do that on every 100th episode
but every regular episode they have to come up with 500
it'd be great if you guys
booked out a full studio for 24 hours
to do, like, episode five of the podcast.
Yeah, it would have been good.
Full day, five sketches.
Five, but we just need five good ones.
Yeah.
So then we could be here for even longer.
Did we...
Did we...
Did the other rectangle?
Okay, so, you know, like, you know that the way that...
Do you know what stuff I'm talking about?
That stuff that they give you body of Christ?
Yeah, I've never had the body of Christ.
Never had the pleasure.
It's essentially just like an edible paper.
Yeah.
Right?
And I feel like that rectangle.
At first, he's just sending rectangles.
But then I reckon people are like,
It's actually kind of like you can eat those.
And so I don't know, maybe, look, maybe it's the worst business idea.
It kind of ends up sounding like a quite, it ends up being a very good idea.
I reckon, I reckon several of the other times we've had Jack on the show.
We've come up with things about eating rectangles, like, some pure substance where you just, like, you eat it and then you shit it out or whatever it is.
It's, you know, things going through the body in one form or another.
You're hammering things down your throat hole.
That's what's at the core of my creative mind.
Ultimately, this is...
Yeah.
Comedy has been this sort of distraction for me
where what I really, at my heart,
what I want to be doing
is a business that distributes
pure edible rectangles
that you can just have and eat
and it's all you need.
Yeah.
I mean, which is not to say
don't write it down
because we're not in a position
to not write things down right now.
We've got a lot of ground to cover Alistair.
A lot of ground to cover.
What a bloody ground to cover.
cover. What about this 100 metre race, but everybody's running in opposite directions?
That's really good. Yeah, yeah. All right. And then, yeah. I mean, you know, I guess is it half of the
people are running from one end and half of the people are running from the other end? They're running
at each other. At each other. But I mean, I guess they run past. I remember they're in separate
lanes. Or maybe it's just, you know, they're running straight at each other. Yeah, yeah. And so then
that has become a bit of a sport recently. I have seen this actually. Yeah, I think it's like,
kind of rugby league guys will just like run literally just charge at each other at top speed right
yeah yeah and then just collide and then just collides and then just collide really i just try and knock
the other guy down okay um but yeah i think if you had like the almost like a sort of coliseum
style sort of circle um they're all running into the middle yeah or maybe you're you start at like
gate number one and then there's an equivalent gate number one on the other side and but everyone's
running through the center.
Right.
And in the center, there's all, like, obstacles and stuff like that.
It's just whoever can get to the other side.
This is less of a sketch and more just a good idea that I would watch.
Great idea.
I think it's like one of those things where it's like, you then can't really understand why,
like, as a viewer, you can't see who's really winning.
I'm just picturing them running in all different directions, starting at different levels
and things like that.
So it's hard to really follow.
Okay.
But everybody has their own, like, starting point and ending point.
Everybody runs exactly 100 meters.
They all run in different directions in different locations around the stadium.
Simultaneously, I guess it has to be simultaneously.
Or maybe they start at slightly different times as well.
It's not fair for other people if some of the runners get more energy from hearing the crowd, cheer and stuff like that.
So for the crowd to not really be able to understand what's happening, you know, everybody kind of gets to just look,
It's basically 100 metres sprinting, but unwatchable.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, it would be amazing.
Like, everybody, you know, all their individual starting pistols go off or whatever, whatever times they do.
Everybody's run.
You think the race is over.
But then somebody else, a couple of seconds or even a couple of minutes later, somebody else's starting pistol goes off.
You realize this person hasn't even run yet.
Yeah.
The race isn't over.
Yeah.
We don't know how long.
We still got everything to play for.
This could be tied onto this somehow or could be its own thing potentially.
but like this is just giving me the idea of the like the the honor system Olympics where it's all Olympic events but no one's really like timing or measuring or quantifying any of it and it's just up to you the athlete to be like no I did the marathon yeah really yeah real quick yeah I mean I do like this yeah they have to just trust them yeah we actually don't have anybody checking we haven't filmed it we are just I don't know what is that sport it's like you got honestly like you just like you just
got to be a good person and then people who are like yeah all won and i'm and i'm a good person
like that i mean that's the worst i love it what about the owner i mean is there is there is it an
an olympics where the real competition is to to know thyself you know where you are asked to uh you
do the competition you give them your honest opinion of how well you think you went and then
whoever gets closest in their assessment of how well they think they went, whoever gives the
best, most accurate guess about, you know, but it's not a guess, who reckons is most honest
with themselves and with the world about how well they think they went, they get the gold medal.
Yeah. And so it's like, well, you want the best at shot put, but you wore the best at telling
the truth, which is more important than shot. Exactly. Who was the best at telling the truth?
Yeah. The gold medal for telling the truth.
the truth yeah i mean the problem is then like there is i guess in no sporting element in that you
could just walk really slowly really accurately keep track of your time yeah and and then just say
it took me three days but then you know there's a there's a it takes a real courage to do that
if you if you're walking for three days and you're somehow even more accurate on how long you've been
it's true it's harder yeah i think that it's not just about
What position did you come in?
I think it's like, how well did you do?
How, like, you know, how much effort did you really put in?
You know, and, you know, how far did you throw it?
You know, like, there's a lot of guesstimation and honesty and, you know.
And so, and if you lose, if you're the best at the actual sport, but then you're kind of like,
but you're not good at estimating how well you did.
Yeah.
Then you lose.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Great.
best estimate
best of mates
what about like a pocket snake
I don't know like
there's not enough animals that you can just keep in your pocket
but I have seen a video of a lady who had
or a little girl who had like a frog in one pocket
and a little snake in her with the other pocket
was she real?
Yeah yeah I think you're real girl
I think because like I've seen snakes in Canada
but they're just little
they're just little like nothing snakes
little carpet snakes
How do frogs go in a pocket?
It doesn't feel like that would be a good ecosystem for them.
They need to stay a bit wet.
I'm not saying that was good for the creatures.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, I'm just saying, I mean, look, maybe you could have a wet pocket
so you can have an amphibion with you at all times.
I mean, if we haven't already pitched a wet pocket.
Yeah.
I feel like I have wet pockets more than the average person that should.
Yeah, I'm bad with, like, timing out, doing the laundry and stuff.
So a lot of time I'll just like, the pot, I feel like the pockets are the last bit to dry
because they're all folded up on themselves.
It's true.
So if I had a reason for a wet pocket, like looking after my pocket frog as opposed to just being disorganized, that would be nice.
Yeah, I have often sort of, you get close to the clothes being dry and they'll be like, they'll dry on, you know, they'll dry on you.
I'm hot. I'm hot.
Yeah.
Like that. And then you're just like, I'm damp. I'm wet. This sucks.
I'm uncomfortable.
Yeah, yeah. It feels like a little bit like burning sometimes.
You know what I mean? Like it's like an irritation.
Oh, yeah.
Sure, sure, sure.
Weird little, like, skin, like, micro rubbing.
You know what you mean.
A little, like, burning, this sort of thing.
I want somebody to be a wet pocket advocate
and talking about why it's better to have a wet pocket.
Everybody should have at least one wet pocket.
I mean, it's better for storing cheese.
Yes.
A slightly damp area.
Like, you know, your, your pocket is a cheese cloth
through which you can filter things
and then keep the spoils in your pocket.
Not everything is meant to be dry.
I think we can all agree on that.
Absolutely.
Look, you're really good at this already.
Thank you.
So you could have slices of apple or whatever that you keep in there.
You know, it would be nice to keep those a little wet.
Yeah?
This is my first cup of water.
I really.
I mean, this is why I need to go to the bathroom so much
because I've drunk all this water.
But I need it.
Need some blueberries?
Sure.
Yeah, I like the wet pocket advocate a lot.
Like, I think...
How can we make this guy more insane?
I feel like he needs to be crazier
and he needs to have bigger ambitions.
Is he angry?
I think he's running for Prime Minister, first of all.
I see, there you go.
I think that should be a big part of what he's saying.
Is he part of one of the major parties?
Is he like, is he the Labour Party?
Right.
Is it that like the Labor Party is still, they still campaigning, they still want to get,
they're still not quite ready to tackle any like actual genuinely progressive stuff that people are asking for?
This is still higher on their list of priorities than, say, getting rid of negative gearing.
Yeah, I think.
They're not willing to spend the political capital on that, but they are going for the wet pocket.
Yeah, wet pocket man.
They have seen the people at the moment are looking for an outsider.
somebody who's kind of a bit outside the system is thinking a little bit differently
yeah they're not you know they're still funded by billionaires so they can't yeah
they can't do any kind of economically progressive stuff but most people do have a dry pocket
and are open to maybe changing to at least a slightly damper pocket how do you feel about
calling it a sloppy pocket oh yeah yeah um yeah yeah I'm really into that yeah great
He has all these political...
Evan sloppy pockets
Franklin's and...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And he has all these political ads
where it's all like...
He pulls his hand out of his pocket and he's so wet.
I think it starts off where it's like
just sort of like cool, attractive young people
hanging out and having a good time and it's like
let me just get my wallet for a sec.
My pockets bone dry.
And then it's like, has this happened to you?
Trying to make...
Having dry pockets, so disgusting.
I was so abrasive on my hand.
Yeah.
Ah.
Hmm.
How am I going to keep fresh and tropical fruit in a good state in here?
I love that this is a political ad as well.
It's not for a product.
It's for an entire way of a life.
And then he opens up his pocket and he spritses in there.
Yeah.
Oh, that's better. Now that's cozy.
Hi, I'm the MP for...
Yes. Garrett.
Garrett, the member for Garrett.
And I'm looking to become your next prime minister.
How do you feel about this?
Being executed by hanging, but you're hung around the waist instead of around the neck.
Interesting.
You are you hanging?
Like a low noose.
Oh, so are you sort of horizontal?
I think you're still
vertical but they put it around the middle
Are you vertical with your head
facing up or your head facing down?
I mean it feels like you probably
would flip and your head would end up down
wouldn't it? I think you'd end up dangling
a bit like Superman. Yeah
Yeah. If they got the balance
the weight, you know, the balance of weight, right?
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
So then what happens? I guess it wouldn't kill you.
It's probably not going to kill you.
Yeah, I mean,
Depending on how high you drop from
Because if you drop from really high
And it can tighten up
Maybe that's the punishment system
Instead of like the period of time
That you spend in jail
You know, the worst your crime
They hang you from higher and higher up your body
Yeah
Until they get to the neck
All right
You have to stop at the neck
Yeah
Because if you keep going
Then they just are hanging you around the skull
And then you slip out
You're off scot free
You're off scot free
And it's system doesn't work
We're going to have to change this system
Bring back hanging, but don't bring back capital punishment.
Yeah.
Yeah, the hanging was fine.
It was the killing that was the problem.
Who has to change his mind.
What about this as a way to like, we start a campaign.
It's called bring back hanging, right?
But it's actually just about spending time with your friends.
It's about, we're trying to tackle the loneliness epidemic.
And our slogan is, bring back hanging.
Yeah, that's great.
Hanging with the boys, hanging with the girls.
Yeah.
Hanging out with boys and girls, hanging out with your mum and dad.
Yes.
But it also would bring back like the social element of, you know,
going to the public square to watch someone get hung.
That's what I thought you were going with it.
It was like we need that kind of,
when they talk about like the third space outside of home and work,
like is a public hanging.
That's what we need to bring people together again.
Is that why, is that where the phrase hanging comes from?
You know, that it used to be a social.
thing. It used to be like, there's a hanging in the square tomorrow. I'll see you there.
Yeah, yeah. Bring hanging back as well it's called. Yeah, yeah. But I think people who want to bring
back capital punishment, but the way that they're doing it, because they know that they can't,
people won't vote for a capital punishment, but the way that they do it is like, is almost like
as a mental health thing where they're like, there's a lonely in this epidemic, people aren't
getting together, people aren't spending time in public spaces.
And the end of the ad is bring back hanging.
Yeah.
And but is it that they're talking about hanging out with your friends and family,
but at public hangings?
Yes, that's right.
Yeah.
Socializing.
You've got to do it.
Yeah.
What about what are some ways you could sort of spice up a hanging for today's?
Oh, yeah.
Today's era.
Put a whole lot of glitter in their mouth.
Yep.
All comes flying out.
Yeah, yeah.
The trap door.
I mean, I guess you could project sort of different faces onto them,
you know, like sort of skins and stuff like that,
like you would do in a FaceTime call.
Biltes, et cetera.
Yeah, and you could sort of, I guess,
make them look like they're kind of dancing
when they're hanging and things like that.
I guess so you don't have to see sort of their eyes bulge.
What if one of the nooses was kind of like,
had like a bungee cord thing to it,
but you didn't know which one until they called the thing.
Yeah, yeah.
That's really nice.
Gambling on executions is certainly where we're headed.
I don't know if it's a sketch idea or not, but it's definitely the future.
Yeah, yeah.
Gambling on executions is, like, what do you, I guess,
how long it takes them to die or whatever it is?
Or is it like, uh, which afterlife they go to?
Hmm, yeah.
wait
I think when somebody gets
hanged and you do a shot
would be a sort of a thing
that you could do at the
at the drinking at the hanging
at the hanging
yeah nice
costumes maybe get
everybody gets stressed up
as the executioner
I think it's fun
watching like UFC and stuff
where they have like fight nicknames
they have
the executed
the condemned man
comes out but he's like
you know
Tony the Jaguar Lopez or something
yeah yeah okay I mean I guess
I guess often a fighter will have a name that will be
like Martin the executioner
Santino or whatever
but then maybe it could be
the executioner
or the Martin Lopez
executioner
scored
I think that
before an executioner
having those kinds of, like those, what do you call it where they're like razzing each other up
before a UFC fight and they're like dissing each other at the way in or whatever it is,
but it's the executioner and the would-be executione both like going at each other and the person
is about to be executed saying, there's no way you're going to be able to step my neck with
that thing. I'm going to snap your neck. The rope that you're holding on, it's going to whip around
your neck and I'm going to hang you. A big, for me.
emotional marketing efforts where it's the person who is doing an execution versus the person
who's being executed but promoted like who's going to win exactly like who's going to come out
on top oh that's grim yeah a bit of bloody gallows humor right exactly doesn't hurt
there's gallows humor yeah is there what about all the other types of execution yeah
lethal injection humor, electric chair humor, firing squad humor.
Yeah.
I mean, I realize they're probably, you know, similar, but...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Eaten by a whale humor, and that's not, they never did that.
They never, the state never did that.
But how many people do you think have been eaten by whales?
I think a guy, I think it did happen to a guy relatively recently.
I mean, I've seen a few people recently kind of get...
kayakers and stuff.
Yeah, go into the mouth of a whale, but then get spat out.
I think their throat holes, not really all that big.
Yeah.
Yeah, which is great.
But, I mean, I think, yeah, there's, I don't think they're, like, they're big on sort of big
meaty, meaty plastic things anyway as well, which is often what we're wearing when we're in the water.
Yeah.
And, I mean, we are the meat part, and then the plastic shit is also wearing.
As far as ways to go, I think, chuck me in a whale.
I'm okay with that.
Yeah.
I mean, it's, it's interesting.
it'll be interesting and you'll be like holy crap like that
I can't believe I'm getting eaten by a whale
speaking of Great White Sharks
how would you feel about a restaurant where the concept is
that the food is in like one of those shark cages
and you sort of circle around the outside
charging and bashing against it
I guess that's kind of the concept of a pinata
yeah
but then they kind of put the pinata
put the stuff in the pinata inside of something
that looks like it could be made of meat
What about this?
You put it like in a sheep or a llama or something like that.
Paniata's for adults.
So inside the Paniata there's some nice meats.
Maybe there's a whole sort of, you know, like what would you call it?
Chiquitory board, but inside a pinata.
So all the 40, 50 year olds can line up at their gourmet gathering and then bash this thing
and then pick up the little bits of salami or whatever that have fallen all over the floor.
I think it would be a really nice experience for like people who are like,
come to my
bring down
capitalism themed restaurant
right?
And then you have little buildings
that look like
the offices of say
like a mining company
and things like that
and you get to go in there
and you smash down the system
like that
and inside
there's like soft cheese
shakuri
yeah yeah
oh it's great
so you kind of get to
get that revolution
feeling out of you
you know
there's like a cop
or something like that
that you fight and then you know it's like just like a dummy and then you pull its head off
yeah and inside it's like a beautiful bottle of bordeaux or something like that you know who's
going to love this what the bourgeoisie oh the bourgeoisie are going to love it wait is that the
rich people or the or the i think that's the middle class okay yeah you know the the the ones
who don't actually contribute anything to the smash the system room yeah yeah that's good
what was the smash we i think we came up with a with a smash room idea
relatively recently
Yeah
Was it?
It was for
It's a smash room
But you put meat in there
So that people tenderize it
Before they go and have an actual meal
And then you can have a really nice soft
Yeah yeah
Maybe you could put it inside the box
Like you know
Make it look like it's a dummy that you're fighting
And you're really good
Like that
You're working out
You're hitting the riot police with a stick
But their bulletproof vest
Is actually full of pieces of meat
Yeah
Being tenderized
I mean, this is flawless, far as I'm concerned.
I mean, I do want the meat to be kind of quite wet
so that when it falls onto the ground, you know,
like it is like, it's a pinata,
but it's full of spaghetti bolognese, for example.
And so the spaghetti bolognais falls out all over the ground
and then you, I guess, pick it up with a fork.
What about a really nice long fork for eating food off the ground?
For eating food in hell, like in that metaphor.
you're always feeding
you know what I'm talking about
I think I do but I'm not sure
there's a maybe it's
sort of like a Zen parable or something like that
where there's
it's like a person goes and
they see
they see hell
and it's like in hell there's
everyone's got
there's all this bounty of food
and it's all the delicious food you could want to eat
but you can't eat it because the fork you have
is so long
that you can't
you can't possibly get the food
and get it in
your own mouth and then
some people are starving and they
all the food's there but they can't have it
and then he goes and looks what heaven's like
and it's the same thing but they're using
the long forks to feed each other
I mean heaven still sounds pretty fucking weird
yeah yeah
if you had that experience without seeing hell
first you're like guys what are we
this this is heaven
yeah it's relative
a weird system where why is the food on an island
far away from us or whatever it was
Like, yeah.
Is it on an island far away from you?
Is that why you can't?
Like, why don't you just eat with your hands?
Why do you need to use a fork?
You have to be able to reach it.
Okay, so it is far away.
I can't remember, yeah.
Right.
Yeah, I think you can't.
You got to.
I mean, they've thought of this.
Of course, it's heaven and hell.
It's God and Satan.
They've thought this through.
It's not like you have to use the fork.
Oh, people.
Smart people, yeah.
Yeah.
Okay, I think we've got time for one more.
One more.
Well, I think we should turn that into a round.
restaurant by the way yeah yeah okay what about it's it's it's you get what a share plate right it's a
restaurant where you get a share plate or you get a meal but you you and the other person have to
compete to get the bits so you don't get all of it you just like you got to fight each other
like supermarket sweep or it's that thing where you're inside the the the big turbine you're
trying to grab the money that's flapping around in the breeze oh that turbine thing but with like
as a restaurant where they just blast
to the food at you in this cube and you gotta be like
grab it and grab as many
meatballs as you can
like thin slices of sort of like raw beef
like that and you're like
yeah yeah like oh sashimi
it's like a really gourmet food but there's like a real
sinister like carne guy like leaning next
you like revving the engine of the thing
and the food's all around you got to catch it and put it in
and shovel it into your mouth as much as you can
try not to get as
Trying to get to get too much on your clothes.
It's an all you can grab restaurant.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well,
Jack Drus.
Oh,
it's been an honor.
Thank you so much.
I hope the rest of the
SESH goes well.
I hope I was able to help.
You were very much able to help.
Thank you so much.
We appreciate you.
Jack Truce, everybody.
Please.
Yeah, I'll get you more water.
Oh, that'd be incredible.
Thank you.
Thank you.
And can we please welcome Dave Warnakee to
Dave Warnackie
Couchy
Couchy
Dave Warnackie
Welcome
wearing one of the
I wasn't sure if your your
moustache
I think that's just the way it grows
But like it looked like you had like
Almost like a little
Hooped up at the end there
Like a little
Oh do you think I'm going to start
Go for the bit of the Dali
Yeah I was I was detecting something
How long does it have to get jerkin before you have to
You can start waxed?
Have you ever waxed?
I've never waxed
I've never waxed my mustache ever.
Yeah.
I mean, have you ever waxed your hair?
I guess you gel it.
Yeah.
You ever use wax?
Oh, yeah, wax.
Wax on moose.
I just, anytime they go, do you want it, like, at the end of the haircut, they go, do you want this?
And I go, no, it's always worse with that in.
What I will say is that, like, I will sometimes say yes.
Yeah.
They do it.
They do whatever they want.
I always immediately leave and go like this with my hair.
And after I do that, that's the best it'll ever look.
Oh, really?
It never looks, it looks terrible when they put the stuff in.
And it looks, it looks terrible very soon afterwards.
Yeah.
And any time I actually try and put product in myself in my own hair, it always looks shit.
Sure.
If I let them do it properly and then I scruffle it up, I'm like, good.
You need a third party in the morning.
I do.
I need a little waxing you up.
Yeah.
Trying to do it properly.
Yeah.
And then you go, mm-hmm.
Like that, yeah, because it always feels better when you're fixed.
their work, doesn't it?
Yeah, you don't know me.
You don't know what to do with my hair.
Yeah, yeah.
I know, I hate it when they make you look cool.
You're like, ah!
I'm not supposed to look like.
I promise you, I'm not trying, not trying to look like this.
Not trying to look cool.
I don't think I look good.
Yeah.
I would never.
Do you get the bit at the end,
do you ever get the, they say,
well, they don't even offer.
They say, do you want some product?
That's usually an offer.
But then after it was the place I've been going,
they do a little sprits of some sort of,
like cologne or something at the end
on the back of your neck
yeah marking their territory or something
what are they doing back there
what are they covering up
yeah what have you done
what have you done back there
that can be covered up with a smell
that's like something I would do in the bathroom
after a terrible incident has occurred
only in the worst possible circumstances
when I am at my worst
that's what I am stinking up the thing
with this horrible product.
To see the panic in the bar, it was like, she's, oh, God.
I smeared shit all over the back of his neck again.
He didn't pay for that.
But I've already said, all done.
I can't now wipe it off.
He'll say that he'll ask questions.
I know, I'll use the sprits.
Just like I did every other time this has happened.
Phew.
I've noticed that you have, you're wearing the A-listist.
her hat.
It's really good.
Can I just say
if anybody is interested
in one of these hats
we do still have some
email us
at 2 in the think tank
at gmail.com
and we'll work out of way.
Contact us in any way.
I'm like the best
post avoid
because you gave this
to me the other night
when I saw you
and before I put it on Andy
I warned now
80 to 90% of hats
look terrible on me
Yeah
This looks great on you
I'm pulling it off
Yeah
If I can do it
Then at home
they can too
And you can
Absolutely can too
This looks good
on Dave Waterke
If he looks okay
Dave terrible hat
Waterkey
Quizmaster himself
Mr Fathead
Sorry
That's not what
I think the problem is
It's not fat enough
Oh right
In a hat
Once I was in
I tried on a hat in L.A
And I was prepared to buy this hat
I put it on
And before I could even look in the mirror
The guy at the store goes no
Pulled it off my head
Whoa
You didn't even have a check chance
Turn your head
No
No
Get out of my shop
I put it on and I completely disappeared under the hat.
Oh, I see, that would be...
Scuttled around like a hedgehog under a garbage bin.
That actually would be nice.
What is the most ill-fitting, like, size of a suit that you've ever worn or anything?
Like, have you ever...
What's the smallest you've ever been compared to something that you're wearing?
Oh, my wife wants to bought me some pajamas.
Love that you can answer to that.
I mean, you haven't answered to this question.
And she bought the smaller size.
they're like sort of these
very flowing cotton
sort of things
like a top
and shorts
I put it on
and I looked like
I was a three-year-old
trying on
my very large
grandfathers
sort of looked ridiculous
yeah wow
and they were the smallest
they had available
yeah
and that was extra small
that was right
I did
but if I look good
and then imagine
you at home
could
yeah
oh thank you so much
yeah
I guess one one time
my parents did also try
and they were like visiting Melbourne
and they went and bought me
some jackets.
They were like, hey, you're not,
you don't have any warm jackets.
Here's some jackets.
Not having sort of tried them on.
And of course,
it's just that thing where you forget
that people don't,
not everything fits on everybody.
Like that.
And I was like,
I don't think that this will work.
And they're like, just try it.
And I put it on.
And it's just like this gigantic jacket,
but with like short sleeves,
like sleeves,
but I'm just like,
it's just this huge jacket.
jacket like this and they're like, oh, it could work.
They're never going to admit that they...
No, look, even they, like, they admitted that they thought, well, maybe that wasn't the...
Who was it designed for? Like, someone was long arms and a...
And, no, I mean, it could have been...
Short-arms long body? Yeah, yeah. I mean, it's like a sort of like a barmed hot dog of some
sort of like or something like that, you know, like a...
What do you feel about like a clothes shop called ill-fitting garments?
and you go there and you just try on a series of just like really everything fits terribly, right?
Yeah.
And maybe you tell the person your sizes and they'll just bring out a sequence of things.
There's no hope.
It could be a place where there's even a little montage.
I don't know how you do a montage in real life, maybe with some sort of time skip type technology.
They make you unconscious a little bit.
Oh, that'd be so good.
They give you a little gas.
Oh, a little living montage.
And then while you're unconscious, they like, change your...
Dressing you're in ill-fitting clothes.
And then you kind of come back and you're like,
oh, I'm in a different outfit.
Yeah.
And they go, there you go.
And then they dress you up.
Keep hitting you over the back of the head.
It's called montages.
Montages.
It's a beautiful name for a tailor or a haberdashery.
I don't know what that is.
And what is this ill-dashry is?
No.
No.
What is a haberdasary?
Do you make hats?
Oh, that's a milliner.
Oshkosh bagos?
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking of.
How do you feel about this?
What is haberdashery?
I don't know.
How do you feel about this for an outfit for a...
We should do this for the Met Gala.
And it should be...
If somebody hasn't already done this,
this is a great Met Gala costume idea.
It's just a really big hat
that comes down to about knee level.
Okay?
And you sort of scuttle around underneath it.
Is there an eye holes at all?
Are you just sort of feeling your way?
I think that there would be...
I think they'd do that thing with the mesh.
like they do in like a mascot costume or something
you can see through so you know where you're going
but you've just got like a really
and I'm not sure like what kind of hat it is
I think maybe like a really high fedora
maybe you could do that
what's his name
Farrell Williams style
sort of whatever that hat is
but like really big comes down to
what is it that's coming down?
The hat goes all the way down to your knees
you sort of in under it like that
like a little child under a garbage bin
running around but it's your big hat
There's no part where your face kind of...
No, your face...
It's not a hat costume, right?
It's not like you can see through like that.
Yeah, yeah.
It is just an enormous hat.
I know, but that's why I was asking,
like, is there a way in which the face is cut out
and it's so that it's like an actual real hat?
But this is like, it wouldn't work as a...
It's a full body hat, I guess.
It's a full body,
but that it doesn't work as a hat
because you can't see,
but it's just a hat.
It's just a big hat,
and you're incredibly sunsmile.
That's right.
Yeah.
I mean, maybe there's a little mirror down there
so you can still sort of see where you're going
or something like that.
Skirts and stuff.
Exactly, right?
I think that giant hat is upskirting me.
And can I just ask, because the Met Gala always has a theme,
what's the theme that the giant hat would fit?
Sunsmart.
Sounds brilliant.
Can I go back to ill-fitting garments?
I wrote, I believed in ill-fitting garments so much,
but I wrote it down.
But then, and then I wrote the real-life montage,
where you get knocked out as a separate idea.
But I want to find out what, like,
what are we trying to do with ill-fitted garments?
You know, like, is this a place that is, you know,
you free yourself from the tyranny of needing to look good
and you can just be, like, a free person
who just wears things that don't really fit
and you don't have to look good and you, like...
I mean, is it that just the character of the person who works there
is that they're just an insane person
who keeps bringing you really bad,
choices of clothes and they're always
saying it looks really good
like I guess you have a funny weirdo
yeah a sort of a funny weirdo right
yeah because I guess I guess like there is a lot of that stuff
that is in sort of high fashion that doesn't look very good
and people they wouldn't wear
you know like that and somebody who like that
who's just come out of that and is now running just a shop in a small town
you know that does like the school uniforms and things like that
and it's like no no no no he looks very good
It looks magnificent.
You are gorgeous like this.
Yes?
Okay, then what was, oh yeah.
While we're talking about the big hats,
I was thinking about, what about a high-end,
very cultured, beautiful,
beautifully crafted version of the cork hat.
You know, anytime somebody's made the cork hat,
It's always been...
It feels like a joke to them.
It feels like a joke.
That's our national costume.
Exactly.
I mean, I'd like to see them wearing that at the Olympics.
Yeah.
You know, when they unveil the new uniform.
I would like to see a beautiful high-end cork hat.
Somebody finally needs to tackle it and give it its rightful place.
Yeah, the respect that it deserves.
You know what I mean?
Like, and then it would immediately go into a gallery of some sort, a museum.
The Chardonnay Crown.
Yeah, the, the, the, uh, the, uh,
The Plato's ideal of the cork hat.
You know about Plato, right?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, well, he was very sunsmart and like to keep flies off his face.
And so he, that's why he has an ideal version of it.
So you're thinking like sort of like Diamonti's bejewed corks?
Well, how do we make it?
I think the hat, because I think a lot of the time it treats Australians like idiots.
Like they're just putting a bit of string through a hat and then pushing it through a cork
and tying a little knot at the end.
And, you know, even though that's how they originate.
Yeah.
I think that there's way more craftsmanship to it.
And I think, yeah, I think, sure, Diamantis could work.
Yeah.
You know, maybe little bells.
Who's an Australian fashion designer?
Fira Wang, was she Australian?
Did he Vera Wang?
I mean, she mostly did wedding dresses.
Alexander McQueen, is he from the same?
Oh, do you do pajamas?
Oh, no, no, that's.
Oh, that's Peter Alexander.
That's Peter Alexander.
We can get Peter Alexander on a pajama cork hat.
Oh, oh.
I mean, just pyjama hats in general is a great idea.
But a big, a wide brim hat.
I mean, I guess that is what that little nightcap thing is.
It's a pajama hat.
But that's not keeping the flies away that little thing there.
The Scrooge star one.
Yeah, you'd have to whip all night.
But if you had like 10 of those all around,
the flies aren't coming near yet.
I mean, I think you had lots and lots of strings really close together,
and it was sort of almost like a shimmering curtain.
Oh, shimmering curtain.
That could be quite, a bit like the plastic things
that on a fish and chip shop door.
That does keep the flies out
Yeah
That works
Yeah yeah
Yeah and maybe like a little
No I was gonna say a little thing
That shocks the
The flies
You know
That kind of thing
But that doesn't
It's not just to keep the flies out
We're also trying to keep
Fashion in
But actually having those
A glowing fashion
You're trying to keep in fashion
Trying to keep in fashion
Yeah
But actually those like glowing purple things
That kind of come on
And one of those shocking
Fly things
Would be a beautiful thing
to kind of...
That would be beautiful.
Yeah, it would be maybe pure beauty.
How about lights under your armpits?
Okay.
So you can go, what's that over there?
Yeah, yeah, you're just sort of glows from up in there.
You can probably get some LEDs in there or whatever.
I'm just thinking, I'm thinking of drawing from the world of automobiles
where you will put lights sort of under a car and, you know, that sort of thing.
So I'm thinking, like, what would be the body equivalent, maybe a light under the chin?
You know, anywhere there's a little crevice or a cranny.
Oh, behind the ears?
Yeah, under there.
Yeah, you're just like...
Oh, some like blue, like little blue lights.
Like, I guess those same colors that a streamer would use for, you know, some blue, some purples, some kind of like, you know, maybe like the, what are the bisexual colors there?
That kind of like blue and red, and then you go stand in dark areas and maybe...
And could it change with your mood?
Oh, that would be nice.
And you wouldn't have to say anything.
If you're having a bad day, people go, oh, glowing red over there.
Yeah, yeah, linking up to your mood ring.
Yeah, yeah.
That's a great, okay way.
what's the word
there is a word for that
when it's sort of linked up to something
and like a mood ring
it's
and people should be allowed
to wear it in school
you know what
and then schools will want to ban it
and then we'll be like not
because it's all right
you make it unbannable
yeah you make it unbannable by saying
it's linked to their
mental health
what if you're right into the constitution
that it can't be bad?
Yeah, I think we should get...
Referendum on the line.
I just don't want them to ban it.
So, like, if we could...
Oh, yeah, come on.
Don't ban it, please.
We're also trying to make a business out of this.
It'd be great.
I've just bought all these little lots.
Wouldn't that be great to get up a referendum
where people...
It's in the Constitution.
People have to buy stuff from your business.
Yeah, that would be really good.
And then...
I mean, the dream is to have your products and services
mandated in the Constitution.
Yeah, compulsory.
Yeah.
Compulsory buying.
Compulsory, the first compulsory sandwich.
It'd be great to even just get the government to have to buy it using your tax dollars
so that you don't have, there's no chance that people are just buying.
Yes, great.
Yeah, they purchase it.
Government sandwich.
We are the number one provider here at compulsory sandwich.
We got compulsory voting in this country.
Yeah, right.
And you can't, and you have to get one every week.
Every day.
Every week.
Daily sandwich?
Yeah, daily sandwich.
It's your choice if it's breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Or if you don't have it at all, but you just have to get it.
You're free to choose.
It's a free country.
Yeah, it's free.
But not for a snack in between meals.
We draw the line.
Yeah, yeah.
And, yeah, I don't mean compulsory sandwich.
To be able to somehow, maybe you can somehow, like, get on to another,
you slip in your question on to.
Oh, piggyback on another.
Yes, yes.
you know, on another issue that's happening.
Yeah, something that people will definitely want to vote for.
Yeah.
And it should be like, oh, should, you know,
should health be available,
health, like, healthcare be available to all people
and you have to buy a sandwich from my sandwich?
Compulsory sandwich every day.
There would be some people would say,
I love the idea of the sandwich.
Yeah.
Not so sure about equal health care.
Yeah.
Yeah, you wonder about what will actually be the hot button issue on that particular ballot paper.
Yeah.
It's very satirical.
It's very, very well done.
It should be, okay.
What about like just somebody who thinks that they're really good?
and
because I always find that
to have like lots of confidence
and things like that
I do find that funny
yes
you know
there's an element of it
where
I guess
I guess it's because of the
I guess that's
maybe the only way
that there's humor there
is if you feel like
you can see
and I guess
assume that everybody else
can see
that the person is not
worthy of that confidence
what are they're confident
no matter how badly
they go at anything
they keep failing
yeah yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But even just, yeah, I feel mine even goes more subtle than that where it's like,
you go, I think it's funny that just in general we feel confident about anything.
Because we're, because just earlier, you were just like, you were shitting and you were doing things like that.
Which I guess shouldn't take away your confidence.
I feel so, I feel so unconfident I took a shit earlier.
Could you be confident about the shit?
Yeah.
I mean, could you do like a TV show where it is like,
We just get on super confident people, and then we have them be sort of humiliated time and time and again, like in quite base ways.
You know, their pants falling down and that sort of thing.
I mean, it is essentially just a good description of reality TV.
You know, we get confident people on who want to be famous for just, you know, their looks and things like that.
Totally, absolutely.
But we're making it, we're sort of reducing it to its essential elements.
And it is literally their pants falling down, right?
Okay, so they go into makeup
A little robot that controls the belt
Yeah, exactly, yeah
That's good
And you call it like taken down a peg or something
Yeah
And taken down to peg
Taken down to peg
Then once the pants fall down
We
We ask if they want to be pegged
And then we don't do it
Because we're not that kind of show
No
But I think
Also it happening again and again
Right?
Yeah
Time after time
Every time it happens
Like
Oh they get to
meet bigger and bigger celebrities and their pants fall down.
We'll go on higher and higher stakes dates or something like that,
but like at the start of every date, we humiliate these people.
I mean, it's cruel.
There's already a lot of conversation about whether or not,
you know, these reality TV shows have some sort of duty of care
to the mental health of the people who are appearing on them.
There have been, you know, all sorts of awful things that have happened
after people have been mistreated by these shows.
But I don't see that being a problem with this show.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, I think if the show's called
Taken Down a Peg
Come and be humiliated
For the chance to be a date
With the Prime Minister
You know?
Imagine that though
Imagine a
You know, the Bachelor
They're already doing the Silver Bachelor
But imagine if you could do the Bachelor
But the Bachelor is the Prime Minister
Oh yeah
Looking for love
Yeah
I mean wouldn't that be something
That the whole nation could get behind?
Absolutely, yeah
yeah and he would really like make it seem like he's doing a lot of work and not paying that much attention to the reality show
so just in between meetings and things like that while he's walking yeah yeah he's trying to get some dates in yeah yeah okay uh yes yes uh that one that one that one okay
he picks the three faves oh really good at night or whatever because he can't be seen to be wasting a lot of time on this
sure he still deserves love even though he's the prime minister even though he's the prime minister he
deserving of love.
It doesn't have to be working 24-7?
What would we call this?
We'd call it Prime Minister,
government relation,
Parliament, House,
government,
I can't think of a good pun.
What about the Prime Minister Bachelor?
Yeah, it's beautifully done.
Could it be something on like a yes minister,
but then it's a picture of like someone in their wedding out.
I do minister.
Yes, Prime Minister.
I will marry you.
Oh, yes, I do Prime Minister.
Beautiful.
And it sounds like he's saying, I do Prime Minister,
which is what he's also trying to show off
so that he doesn't get accused of wasting time.
See, so it's got a double meaning.
I do Prime Minister.
I do be the prime...
Lots of work that I should do as Prime Minister.
I do that.
Yeah, a lot of it.
of the show is just long stretches of him doing work.
Oh, wow.
Not interesting at all.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, if there's anything that parliamentary question time needs, it's a B plot, in my opinion.
Yeah, yeah.
You know, like a nice romance or something like that to sort of try and...
Well, there'll be games for The Bachelorettes or whatever like that.
Oh, good.
Who will, you know, they'll be in there in the sort of the stands and the audience during question time.
And they've got to like, oh, a challenge is like trying to...
blow a kiss to the Prime Minister that he
catches or blows back
there's different points for each one.
He doesn't know the point system so that...
He's not involved in that. That might
even be considered corrupt.
Yeah, it is, yeah. And so then...
And so then, you know, but he's
trying to also appear like he's really doing work, so they've
really got to cut through.
Yo!
What about...
What about...
What about...
Government corruption and bribes and stuff?
Yeah.
But the bribes.
that are being given are just little kisses and stuff like that.
So, like, you meet up with an agent.
From, like, the oil industry.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Exactly.
Okay, yeah, so, like.
And behind closed doors.
And they give you a brown paper bag right on a park bench.
And you open it up and you look down.
There's a little card there and it just says, look up.
and you look up and they look into your eyes and then you kiss and they plant you want yeah yeah
yeah you're like you go uh yeah so first he goes oh we're going to need we're going to need uh
you know some relief from these uh tariffs that are coming up uh that's going to come from the guy
and you know i can't do that like that and then he hands him a little paper bag and so he says look out
like that and he goes you look and you go consider it done like that um oh yeah
I love a kiss-based corruption.
You know what's great about that?
No paper trail.
Yeah, except for the paper bag.
And the thing that says look up.
Sure.
That could be anything.
Yeah, that's right.
It could just be, watch out, there's a coconut falling.
You know how many people die from getting hit in the coconut?
But you know what they could also?
Turns out they're doing.
You think he's just kissing this agent from Russia, right?
But while their mouths are locked together,
he or she the agent
is furiously tapping out codes
with Morse code with their tongue
on each other's tongues
So you're like
Oh you've got no way of knowing
What's happening inside their mouths
While they're doing that
That's true, yeah
You think it's just an innocent honeypot situation
Yeah
But actually there's
Just something more nefarious
For a complex plot
They have to make out of like 25 minutes straight
Yeah
And I don't know how you depict this in the
It's the show
An in-mouth camera
In-mouth camera
Oh wow
Do-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D
Do you know that thing come up on
Yeah
There's a PM mouth camp
Well you have to do it to stop corruption
Yeah you have to
We put a camera inside the mouth
At the Prime Minister
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
In all the politicians
If you want to be in Parliament
You've got to have a camera in your mouth
I feel like that could be its own reality show
We put a camera inside the Prime Minister
To the side of the Prime Minister
It's really good on
I guess which bit of the Prime Minister
Is it?
Where is it?
And then it just shows you a bit of footage.
There's a lot of teeth there.
I'm hoping it's the mouth.
I don't know.
He could have had one of those internal twin situations.
Is it inside the internal twin?
I'm really running out of ideas.
Game show.
Game show.
Yes.
This is a good idea.
We're inside the prime minister.
Oh, yeah.
This is how the prime minister is raising funds for the government.
government to help.
He's like, look, okay, we're low.
We're not getting a lot of money from the oil industry
because, you know, we didn't ask.
I said I wouldn't raise taxes.
I said I wouldn't, so I'm going to have to be involved in more reality
for personal fundraising for the country.
I'll do it, yeah.
I love that idea.
I mean, how about this?
You know, wouldn't you love it if the prime minister took on a second job?
You know?
You know, so like at night waiting tables or, you know.
Working at the servo all night.
Looking at the survey, exactly.
And the money's going straight into the treasury.
Oh, to the government coffers.
The coffers.
Yeah.
You approach the server window at night into the security window and they're hidden,
and you're like, is that the Prime Minister?
Yeah.
I think the economy might not be doing well.
Oh, just trying to help the economy.
Just trying to get it.
Look, I'm not allowed to keep any of this money.
This is going straight to defence.
Oh, come on, Prime Minister.
going to get one of them submarines
I think we should
you know how we get to design
you know get to like submit designs for the flag
or like you know the national anthem or whatever
I think they should do that with the designs
for the new nuclear submarines
oh that's great I think they should throw it open
everyone can send in designs kids and that sort of thing
and they pick one winner
yeah
then we can have a we can maybe we can vote on it
we can have a submarine that we're all proud of
It'll end up looking like a turd.
You're right?
Yeah.
It's like a big shit.
Because it's democracy and we all vote.
We all vote for the nugget.
That's really good.
Everybody votes for the nugget.
Yeah.
Write it down.
Yep.
We all get to vote on the shape of the Ogy McBoat-Face fucking nuclear-powered submarine.
But then like it's a, you know, it's a, it's legally binding.
That's right.
You have to make it legally binding.
They have to pick one of the entries.
Do you know what?
I think the shape of his shit.
it probably isn't terrible in terms of the shape of a submarine.
Yeah, and it's beautifully camouflaged, I think, for some of a, you know,
it's not a, it's not a color that ever kind of...
It's even down to the color. We're doing that.
You don't think we can do the color?
I guess, I mean, it's a, what else is there?
Yeah, if I can't, if me as a people, don't get a say in the color of our shit-shaped
submarine, then what am I even living in this country for?
I would be great if when it gets launched into the ocean
It's done through a big toilet
They could build
Prime Minister
This goes on to the ceremonial flush
It's launched
And it goes
Flushes away
Just sinks down
Or just kind of floats on the top
It still has a motor and stuff in
I think it's still
Poked it down
It's not going
It's too big
down, sorry. Does it still have a nuclear reactor inside? Yeah, yeah. There's, you know, there are
250 soldiers on there. They're all taking it very seriously. They're all doing this.
Do they have matching, like, sort of brown uniforms? Yeah. You get a camouflage of the sub.
A little plop squad.
Anyway. You're quite good at bending your fingers past, like, it's quite sort of upsetting in a way,
It's not that I'm good at it.
It's just that they bend there freely
because that's within their capability.
It feels like you're splitting hairs here, Alison.
Oh, you're very good at splitting hairs.
I don't know.
I'm not good at it.
I'm just doing it.
Would you do that?
Would you go to a hairdresser
where they'll split all your hairs down the middle like that?
You get twice as many hairs.
Oh, my God.
That'd be great.
You know, I don't have as many as I used to.
Yeah, no hair transplant, neither.
But like, yeah, and then you're just kind of like, would you think it'd be...
Even wispier.
It would be even more like a fog around your head.
Oh, foghead.
Mm.
Foghead, long head.
I don't understand.
What is foghorn, leghorn?
Like, I know who it is.
Mm.
What, is that name a reference to something?
Leghorn is a type of chicken.
Oh.
Yeah.
And what about foghorn?
Well, it's a sound made by a ship.
Okay.
But, yeah, I mean, it doesn't sound like a.
like there's a lot there, does it?
No, no, no.
I mean, look.
To join those two things together.
Yeah, yeah.
It's a mini documentary on the origins of fog, foghorn leghorn.
Oh, corn, leghorn.
What the fuck they were thinking.
It's probably one of the least name-like names in all of fiction.
You know what?
That's a really good point.
Yeah.
It's one of the least name-like names.
You try and find the worst name?
Worst name.
The worst name.
It's been coined?
Worst fictional names.
name that's ever kind of least name like name hmm i mean why would having an unname like name be good i mean
i guess that's why they call you know in in the CIA and stuff yeah they call agents by names that
aren't even names you know they'll call them like bluebird yeah or stuff like that because you're
not only are you're calling him a different name you know not calling him Troy Roberts okay you're like
Like, we're calling him something that isn't even a name.
Yep.
Refrigerator.
Refrigerator, exactly.
So, like, this is where...
It's very clever.
Bailant's office.
Yes.
Traspassing sign.
But then, I mean, I suppose they could...
They should go further and they should do ones that...
Names that aren't even words.
It should just be sound.
It should just be...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Some of those would be so hard to remember, like, when it's a detail.
Like, like, ha, ha!
Like that?
Like, it's...
actually sure but then you know you can pass that off in the conversation i think like
you know we're hiding it's a good name i think so i think it's a great name and i think
trying to teach that to your kids yeah and you did well thank you do you finish what your sentence
was uh oh no i fucked it up no but it wasn't very good anyway alistair i feel like were you
going with hiding in plain sight is that basically hiding in plain sight that like you know
you can drop a reference in a convo pardon me
Yeah, it's all very well to, like, have codes.
Yeah.
Okay.
But what about the codes within the codes?
What about hiding information in parts of speech
that people don't even think is the speech component?
I think that's where the real secrets are hidden.
Okay, yeah, yeah.
I don't know how Morse codes exactly works,
but can you communicate Morse code with pauses in speech?
Probably.
The length of your pauses.
Yeah.
People think.
I think you're just searching for a word, but really you're communicating a second message.
Or you have like, you know, you have like a really old guy who grunts and groans a lot as he stands up and sits down and that sort of thing.
And he coughs constantly and that sort of thing.
And people think that the words he's saying are the information, but actually it was all his body noise.
Oh, that's good.
The clicking of his joints and that sort of thing.
Yeah.
And so then what situation are we using this in?
We're sending, you know, important information to, we encode it all in his body.
We teach him all these things and we send him somewhere like a pigeon.
But, and then he, you know, passes on the information as a series of things.
If he's being observed closely, nobody will know what he's actually saying.
It's, uh, I'm not good at, I'm not doing a good job of coming up with any names or, uh,
have you considered
foghorn leghorn
yeah for things
I'll call this the foghorn leghorn
system
I think we need a full lunch
yeah sure
let's do it
yeah because I think like we're
I think we're starting to get tired
but from not from just not having eaten properly
do you have the capability
of ordering something
no I don't
but that's okay
I can download something
if you're happy to
I mean, yeah, I mean, I'm also happy to
I had a little
what they call them breakfast
Bakes at this bakery I lived here
It's basically like a square piece of pizza
Yeah, okay
It was blue cheese and
And sweet potato
It was fantastic
Yeah, oh man, that's really good
You know what they should do
You know like blue cheese is such a success
They should make moldy other food
Oh yeah
It is eat edible
Like, I mean, I don't understand.
Like, moldy milk.
You know, imagine blue milk.
Blue milk.
Think about that.
Think about that.
Yeah.
You know, like, why?
Does milk just go bad before.
Blue fish?
Blue fish.
I mean, I know there's a lot of, like, fermentation of stuff, right?
But it doesn't go blue.
It doesn't go blue.
How do you make it go blue?
Yeah, I want that blue, but I think blue milk, I mean, it's not a sketch idea.
But why is there no blue milk yet?
I mean, look, maybe they got blue milk somewhere.
They probably have it like that.
in one of the countries like, like, you know,
Greece or something like that,
they just put milk under the sink.
You know what I mean?
Like, they do that with cheese.
Isn't that what cheese is?
They're like, oh, yeah, just put it under the sink.
Yeah, or hide it in a cave for a while.
Yeah, hide it in a cave.
They go up and go to Moses's cave.
That's probably why he went up to the cave
because he was looking for blue cheese or something like that.
Yeah, it's probably something in here.
Have they tried all the foods in that same cave?
And cheese is the only one that worked?
Like, yeah, exactly.
How many, how did you get to that?
How many foods did you put in there line up?
Yeah, she's the only one.
And you had perfection straight away.
I mean, I guess they hang, they hang like sausage with, you know, how do they...
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, like, you know.
Was it like salt?
Hanging in the garage.
Yeah, hanging in the garage.
But I guess back in the day, you put it in a cave.
Put it in the cave.
Put it under the...
Nature's garage.
Nature's garage.
Exactly.
That's where bears can park the car.
I just don't understand.
Like, what about blue?
Can it get moldy?
Alistair, what would you like?
Some, some, some pizza?
Yeah, let's get pizza.
Yeah?
I mean, I've had a lot of pizza recently
Okay, we don't have to get pizza
But no, no, no
It's always good though
Yeah, it is always good
Let's see if you've got one with a bit of blue cheese
In my opinion
I think it's great
A breakfast bake
Okay, let's see
Like what's a
You know, what about
Instead of thinking about always fermenting
Other products like the food and stuff that you eat
What about fermenting yourself?
Oh, okay
You know what I mean?
Like why can't you just keep your hand
And some liquid for like
For like a week?
Let it go a little blue.
Yeah, like just like put it with whatever it takes to make it go blue.
Yeah.
Would that work?
Yeah, what happens?
Why does it improve everything?
Fermentation?
Yeah.
The fermented self.
You just, like, you just sit in a pool of liquid like this for like a week.
Just let your body ferment like that.
And just like, you just got to be in a way so that you can sort of be weightless like that and not like drown or whatever.
Yeah.
Is it also sort of you could double it up as like an immersion tank?
experience. Yeah. And then, and like as a health, as a health guy, you could easily just be like,
well, fermented food's good. Ferment yourself. Like we haven't, we haven't tested it.
Yeah. Who's going to sit in a tank all week? But we probably needed like someone like David Blaine or
something. He loves a tank. We'll get David Blaine involved. Ferment yourself. It's probably
healthy. Yeah. It'll just, it'll encourage the good bacteria to cover your body. You'll get a mother.
Get like that oozy water around you.
Why keep drinking it when you could just have it grow on your body?
You could be the scobie.
Yeah.
Like just wear a scoby shirt.
You know, eventually you just covered in scobie.
So then suddenly you're sort of decent.
Yeah, except for like the scob.
But then you shape the scobie.
It's like a scobie bonzai.
You get a scobie bonzai.
You grow it up like that and make it into a beautiful tailor shirt.
or whatever like that.
You know, I'm sure you can, like, it's like an ooze,
so you can probably extend it and shorten it.
Yeah, yeah, for different seasons.
Different seasons.
I'm getting you a falafel, Peter.
Is that okay?
Sure.
Great.
That's good.
Thank you, Andy.
It's my pleasure.
And I'm going to write it down.
Like, what are we talking, scobie clothes?
Yeah, fermented men with scobie clothes.
Yeah.
You know?
Just hearing what you're saying.
Scobie clothes.
I think, you know...
It sounds like the most natural colour
than you could get.
I mean, it's probably what they did
before they got threads.
Yeah.
Which seems like the most complicated thing.
Imagine that. Look at this,
how complicated it would be
to make textiles.
Isn't that?
How do they do it?
How do they get it all organized?
They're not tangled.
Yeah.
And then the pattern right.
And they get the pattern right?
I don't know.
I just think it seems better
and more complicated
than like making a computer.
Yeah.
And look, we're covered in it.
I'm covered.
Our body look beautiful.
But right now,
it could be covered in Scobie.
We could be covered in Scobie,
which is good for you.
That's good.
This is doing nothing for my health.
It's just covering my,
yeah.
It's just like papering over a problem with this.
And Escobie is alive,
so it's essentially your buddy.
Yeah.
You can probably talk to it.
Yeah.
And you wouldn't be weird
if you talk to your clothes.
Right now, you'd look down to your clothes.
Scobie.
Scobie.
Like this?
Scobie.
Yeah, I think so.
And then it's actually, you're throwing...
Well, that's like the Hay-Syrie equivalent.
You say, Scobie, and then you start talking to you a little.
And then you probably can't.
I mean, have you heard about wetware?
No, tell me about wetware.
Wetware?
It's like where they're trying to develop.
It's like the wet version of hardware.
And they're trying to turn like, you know,
living things into computers.
And they think it'll be better than computers.
I don't know.
I don't know what could be better than computers.
but um
and so it'll be wetware
and then
I mean Scobie
this Scobie could probably become a computer
oh yeah
your clothes your shirt
your underpants
you know
they don't probably
eat all the crap off of your ass
I think
some sort of biologically
active underpants
that are
eating the crap off your ass
and drinking the piss
drying up your ball sweat
somehow
yeah yeah so there's sentient underpants
yeah yeah sentient living
sort of slime molding
I don't know if they're sentient
but I think it's like
definitely a stable ecosystem
but then sometimes it squeezes you in a way
and you're like are you like
are you hitting on me underpants
you know guys
always think that something is hitting on them
sentient underwear that guys
are absolutely convinced
as hitting on it
yeah
A guy falls in love with his
Sandian underwear
I don't think it has to be sentient
for him to fall in love with it
No, that's right.
I think
I think it's funny to have a sketch
about these tech guys who keep falling in love
with their AIs and stuff
their chat bots and that sort of thing
I think it's funny
the less like a real person it is
like he invents something
and it's like literally just like
a garbage bin with wheels
that just says
cleaning, cleaning or something like that
and he falls in love with this thing
and he's convinced that it's sentient
and that it reciprocates his love.
It's cleaning for me.
Yeah.
It's all, look at this.
It cares about me.
It's a robot vacuum, basically, this thing.
He's falling completely in love with
that he's left his family.
Yep.
And you know what?
It actually ends really
happily.
All right.
Yeah, they die
holding hands.
And his wife is actually
happier without him.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, sorry, only for her.
It's only happy for her.
It's really awful for him.
And for the kids.
And the robot is also unhappy.
Does he give the robot
a hand?
Does it have just like one hand?
Sure.
Sticking up like that?
Like it's going to ask a question?
I think that's so he can
And if you are going to ask a question, you shouldn't put your hand up like this.
You should do like a try and do a question mark.
You know?
Like that's an exclamation mark.
Yeah.
It should be like this.
Yeah.
And then you're pointing to your head where you want the question to come out of.
Did it, pointing to the roof is like what's up there?
Is the exclamation mark like you've got like a mic drop moment coming up?
Yeah.
You've got a statement coming.
Boom.
Boom.
But otherwise, it's question.
Question?
Question.
Question.
Question.
Question.
Yeah, I mean
Like land dog sled
What do you think about that
Oh, that already exists, doesn't it?
Oh yeah
I mean, I guess the snow is land
Yeah, I guess
Oh, like on like dry
Yeah, like it'd have to be cold
Would it have wheels?
Hey?
Would it have wheels?
A dog?
No, the sled.
What about this?
It's a sled with a bunch of dogs
And you pull it around
Oh
Yeah?
Okay
Yeah, and so I don't know, I don't know what this is, but it's in town, it's happening, it's very urban.
Are you saying mush, mush, because that's what they get to eat when they get home?
Yeah, I think so, yeah.
You're trying to encourage them?
Yeah, it's like, oh, it's coming, like that, and then they have to run for another, like, seven hours.
Seven hours, and then you get some much.
It's like, how when I'm cleaning the house, my wife shouts, pizza, pizza at me like that.
Yeah, yeah.
Exactly like that.
Three more hours and you get a bit of pizza.
And she's like, oh, no, that's just a figure of feet.
get people to clean
Is there a sketching that?
Is there a sketching this guy
A guy pulls a tray full of dogs?
Oh, okay
I understand it's not really a sketch
Is there something like
You know how there's a strong man
That always try and pull a plane or something?
Yeah, we did talk about that early as a day
Oh really?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's not the first time
Oh, and was there anything from that that maybe?
I mean, what about it?
He actually pulls it up into the sky
Like he just jumps really high?
He's like that through the air, pulling it along.
He's starting to pull it.
Yeah, yeah.
And he starts to get some lift.
And then he starts to do this.
Yeah.
Like this.
And then he goes, and he takes off.
Yeah, and he drags it up.
Like that and he pulls it up.
Strongest guy is, it's 7-4-7.
And as he's just got regular arms and he flies up like that and he's off.
You'd think that like with regular arms, you'd have to flap a lot faster to do that.
But he's actually, no, he's just because.
he's pushing down so hard
because he's so strong
yeah
I mean
perfect it's the perfect
sketch
what about you know how
when they first
tested rockets they often
would take an animal
like a dog up into space
this you'd have to test it
by putting dogs on the plane
there you go
is someone pulling dogs
yes
yes
know if they could be passengers
yeah that's right
when you come back
the strong man lands
the dogs land
you check in
everyone okay
oh you don't want
what I love? You know, at some point when he's in the sky, I reckon he flips back with the rope,
and then he sits on top of the plane, and then he drives it like this. Wow. And then brings it in
for like a... Easy girl! Whoa! Oh! Like that as his landing to kind of like slow it down a bit.
And then like, like that and all the dogs are like... Oh, oh, oh, oh. Seals. Yeah. I mean, I love a plane
with rains. You know? Like even inside the cross.
cockpit, you know.
I think that would be really...
Like that.
I think that you'd have more control.
Surely.
I mean...
It's got that little steering wheel.
You're telling me you can't attach
just a couple of ropes to that
and do exactly the same job
but pretending that you're like
guiding a horse
through the air.
Yeah, yeah, gentle.
Whoa!
Whoa!
Here you go.
Here you go.
Whoa, whoa.
Or is it just a way of testing out different wheels
And different things for the cockpit
Because I reckon they probably came to that
That little wheel they've got pretty quickly
But did they try the pirate wheel
Yeah
Yeah
The history of
Oh yeah
What else did they try
I love how you can really spin it
Yeah
How funny you have to spin it to turn
You gotta do a lot don't you
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Because it makes it think
Like
You would think that it's like
Really hard to turn
because you've got to move this liquid.
I need to get, like, you know, with the rudder or whatever it is, like that.
But I guess it's just so loose that you can just do this and it just moves a little bit.
I think that's what it is.
It's highly geared, I imagine.
It's very geared.
And then, because, like, especially if you're, like, turning into the wind or whatever,
you've got the full pressure of all the air that's on the sails and the whole weight of the boat,
like moving in a particular direction, you're going to need some pretty significant mechanical advantage.
Oh, yeah.
To turn that bad boy
That's right
And then it just
It's made it more fun
Things are easier
It's funner
Yeah
Yeah
That's why
That's why
We should have
We should train dogs
That can raise our kids
Yes
Because
We already did talk about this today
We already
Talk about this today
Yeah
With Sam Peterson
We had a dog-based daycare
Where the dogs
Raising the kids
I know
But a good idea
Is a good idea
And worth bringing up
that's right yeah yeah i can't believe i already forgot that but i mean like a dog that's up to date with
a lot of the latest parenting techniques um pedagogy it's just watching it's just watching
reels all day and this is all shows his algorithm shows it and and and then and then you can
just come in as a parent and go how's it going then you go and then you go all right yeah i'm
making nachos have we already pitched the idea of a centaur Pete
Oh
Like
Is that
I think it's a
A man
With the body of a horse
And the horse has a hundred legs
Okay
Wow
I'd never see
A really long horse
Lots of legs
We've had a long horse
Before on the show
But I don't know if we've ever had a centaur piece
You have the long horse
Has had two legs
At the front
Two legs all the way
The back
Like a sausage
Yes that's right
Yeah
Yeah
This would be good
In a like
You know like a slightly
More fantastical
Yeah
Yes, take it to the next level.
Because imagine this, you go, hey, Amazon, I'm looking to make a sketch show.
They go, whoa, we're not looking.
We go, it's a fantasy sketch show at $3 million per hour of like that.
And they'll be like, oh, now my ears are pricked.
Like that and go.
Well, and so will be the ears of the elves in the TV show.
That's right.
It's fantasy.
That's right.
They're also pricked.
And they're because they've got earrings through them.
Ah, yep.
Yeah, and...
I thought...
Yeah, you know what I want to see?
Elf with curly hair.
Hmm.
I always have straight hair.
Yeah, what's that about?
Huh.
I mean, I think, look, that's a centaur peed
written by a curly-haired elf.
I mean, the imagination on this guy, on this author.
He's thought of everything.
He thought of an elf with curly hair.
And his pubes are straight.
Oh, wow.
And long?
Yes, very long.
And then they've kind of got more of a up top.
It's curly, but it's a bit more like Hallie Barry.
You know, I mean, her hair's too short maybe for this,
for them to really see how, that it's curly.
But I promise you, when it grows out, it is curly.
Yeah, okay, great, great.
And, yeah, all right.
She's like, I almost said a curly girly.
Why would I say that?
Well, because it rhymes.
Yeah, but that's not enough, you know?
You've got to, these days, people expect more.
They want more.
Now, we've already pitched, I'm sure, in the past a microwave gun.
Microwave gun?
Yeah, you can point it at your sandwich and just cook it on the plate like that.
That's a good idea.
That is a good idea.
A good idea is a good idea.
And safe, I imagine.
But like, it's just like, because you can't see it, but it would just make things really hot.
You know, like that.
Vibrate their things.
Yeah.
And you could just, because like, then you could be,
eating a plate of like nuggets just got out cold nuggets yeah and just do one nugget
oh one at times like the 20th nugget doesn't get cold by the time you get to it like
every single nugget you eat will be the hottest fucking yeah ever eaten in your life
yeah yeah it's really good yeah you have to heat it up wait five minutes for to cool down
eat it start the process again and yeah like that oh that'd be really good we have a little
mouth on the table that sits there
that you can put stuff in, and it cools
them down by breathing on them and bouncing
them around with its tongue. And then you take
it out of there with some chopsticks,
pop it into your mouth. It hasn't chewed
anything, so it's not chewed food. It's just
cooled it down.
Like that, and you can kiss that mouth.
And you're allowed to give it a little kiss at the
end of the meal. Because AI
should be able to get that mouth going
pretty human-like.
Oh, yeah. And you know it's already
you already know it's going to be wet, so
it'll be a nicer kiss
and it'll have some crumbs in it
which I like
it'll be like kissing a loved one
who you're having sharing a meal with
and do you love when you know
that you get to feel those crumbs in there
do you think there's anything in people have made
this someone has made this little mouth
that does this to cool down food
and then something about like
the lengths that they'll go to
or how the risk of people trying to do
bodily functions with this
this mouth
like well kiss it
and do other inappropriate things
with this mouth that is only has been made
for one purpose
right they make it really bitey
oh yeah
but like I just worry
you see without without the biting thing
I worry that for people who are in high school
who because
people have this mouth to cool down their nuggets
like that
and they're just
going to be bouncing, you know, people are going to be kissing it so much and practicing their
kissing. This thing will, you know, will have bots and then you'll be able to kiss some of the,
you know, models of the world's best kissers. Yeah. You know, because they will have, you know,
been sort of trained on all this kissing data. Oh. The world kissing championships.
I would thought that was the one kind of data that they didn't have. Well, maybe that's the one thing
that AI won't be able to do is kiss. Well, because there's no sense. You'll have to kiss people to
know if they're...
Honey, I was just kissing to check
if it was a robot.
Yeah, that's right, that's good.
Oh, kissing.
What do you want me to...
Finding out if someone is a robot
and a good excuse.
A very good excuse.
Not an excuse, a reason.
Lexa, if you're...
There's a difference.
Not all excuses are reasons
and not all reasons are excuses.
Yeah.
Thank you very much.
You're like the head of security somewhere
and you had everyday people come in,
you know, you don't want your secrets stolen,
you don't want robots coming in.
They have to make out with every single person
who comes to security.
So you go through metal detector, tray through.
That's going to be a very different job all of it, isn't it?
Yeah, I mean, if they do that,
that's one way that you know that they can train their...
Is this what you're just saying?
This is because...
Oh, will they be training by kissing?
Yeah, imagine...
And that's how they're getting your kissing data.
Eventually, once they...
Eventually, they'll work it out.
Yeah.
They'll do it.
do it at the airport.
Learning by doing.
Oh, you come through,
oh, you've got to kiss this thing
to make sure there's no like guns in your mouth or whatever.
Like that.
And then you kiss there and you're like, oh, I guess I have to.
And then they're like, ha ha, now we've got that data.
Yeah.
Like that.
And then they'll make robots that can kiss well and you'll be able to,
you won't be able to detect who they are.
Well, I guess you probably what you would do is you would not,
you'd save your best stuff.
You wouldn't, you wouldn't give away all your tricks.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, when you go to the airport, don't give it your best kiss.
Don't give it everything, okay?
You can afford to hold back 10%.
Yeah, and then what they'll probably do,
they'll probably put, like, really haunt people near the robot.
So that you'll be trying to impress them.
You'll be trying to impress them.
I saw you kissing that airport security robot before,
and I really liked what I saw.
Yeah, I really want to kiss you now.
And then that's your, that's your, basically your, your primo outcome.
and then you get to kiss the security guard at the airport,
which you've always wanted to do.
Oh, baby.
You know, they have control.
Airport security recently, I went through one.
And it was like, we have given up on the pretense,
even the chance of this being anything like a pleasant human interaction.
Just like, you know, those days are long gone.
Forget that was ever on the table.
we are going to be as rude as possible to you from the very get-go.
Yeah, do you think they're now the angriest people you can come across?
It used to be like the receptionist that are doctors,
but now do you think airport security are there?
They're the people you don't want to.
Well, yeah.
I think they've taken over.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And so then what do we need to do?
Do we need to give them something?
They can take one thing out of every bag
They can
I mean they get to see
I imagine some fun stuff in there
Like I kind of would like the idea
Of being able to x-ray everybody's bags
Yeah
I mean that would be fun
You think that that would make them happy
I know you think to be the happiest
I mean
And they get to you've said if you have walked past it
It's like fully 3D
They move it around a bit
Yeah
Look through
Yeah all day
And that's not fun for them
I know well that's it
I think we need to get angry with them
because they have no right to be angry.
They get to look at secrets all day long.
Stuff that I don't show anybody else at the airport.
No one else is a 3D scan of my body ever.
Yeah.
Cheer up.
You get to look at some weird x-ray version of my whole body like that.
You get to pat me down?
You get to touch my body.
You get to tell me to take my belt off.
I don't get to tell anybody to take the belt off.
Yeah, if you try, that's weird.
Yeah, telling someone to take their belt off is usually,
like a, you know, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, you've made a lot of progress.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And maybe that's what it is.
Maybe everyone's always taken their belts off, but never taken off their pants.
We need to, you know, maybe they're, they're constantly teased.
Oh, blue bald.
Yeah, they've got blue ball.
Yeah, they might get your shoes off, they might get your belt off, but that's it.
That's it.
Maybe a jacket off, maybe.
Sometimes they're always like, oh, do we have to take this into another room?
You pat them down.
Sorry, they pat you down, but you never pat them down.
Oh, yeah.
But you're the stripper rules.
yep no no other way around oh yeah yeah they're the stripper but they don't get to have fun
which i don't know why i'm saying that the strippers would be having fun
wouldn't it be lovely to be in a relationship with one of those airport security people
and the you know that moment where they get you home to their bedroom and then they
run their hands all over your body just down the sides like that up and down the inside of the
legs like that tap tap tap tap tap oh oh you know your way around oh i think i found something
yeah yeah yeah yeah he too wait okay wait that's going to be having the airport security
a lover the pitter pitter the um that's going to be every heavy patting every petting
really well done i believe we still got 300 sketcher
that is not good news
no no that's great
200
I mean we've
look we've made good progress in eight hours
I guess that is good
yeah
I guess that is good
I mean we've got two out
if we can come up with 50
then that we're still on
on track right now
to get it done in
22 hours
in 20 hours
we've got to go faster
yeah
yeah
oh yeah
20 hours

Um, all right.
You know, penny for your thoughts.
