Starting point is 00:00:00 Booth, Booth, Booth, Booth, Booth, Booth, Booth, Visionary. Booth, Booth, Booth, Vigionery. We both went booth. Yes. Our booths have aligned. They finally synced up. Hello and welcome to two-in-thinketakes. The show where we come up with five sketch ideas. I'm Andy.
Starting point is 00:00:23 And I'm Alistair George William Trobloy. Moodle, Mood. There's blood of gone, me, mate. You know what, Alastair, it's a crying, bloody shame. What is? There's no... That, that, that, that, uh, that, uh, Scott airships, right? Scott airships.
Starting point is 00:00:44 That airships, it's a crying shame that airships and hot air balloons, that when they crash, they come down to earth. Feels like they should go up further up into the sky. There must be an airship. And sort of get trapped in some sort of a layer up there. Yeah. And then we could have... a sort of a reverse titanic situation like if they're hidden them, right, instead of smashing
Starting point is 00:01:06 into the ground, which is just, it's like, it's like, it's so basic, you know, it sounds like a ship would do. We have so many vehicles that can do that. Yeah. Even cars sometimes do that. Yes, exactly. You know, thank you. And bikes, even a bike, if instead, a horse can do that. If instead it had smashed it. you're being such a horse right now. This is this is horse shit, man. You could
Starting point is 00:01:40 if it went up and like I don't know, crashed into a particularly dense cloud or something, you know, and got lodged up there. And then we could have like, then we could be reverse titanicking. We could have a, we could have a, what was that billionaire?
Starting point is 00:01:56 Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they go up there and it can't handle the low pressure and at some point they all burst open from the lack of pressure and they all just split up and their blood boils
Starting point is 00:02:11 and they you know like that sunfish like that sunfish that that orca ran into did you see that? Oh I saw the headline of this article ramming their prey so hard that explodes and I was too scared
Starting point is 00:02:28 I was too scared I was too scared it was going to be a baby whale, right? And so I didn't watch the video. You didn't want to see a baby whale being evil? But now that you've told me that, yeah, well, exploded. Now you've told me that it's a sunfish. I think that would be really funny and I'd be completely out for watching that. I think that's what they find it.
Starting point is 00:02:46 I think they find it funny. Because this big, dumb fish. I mean, sunfish and I can totally picture it. I mean, they're a stupid, they're a stupid looking fish. And they often are swimming around with like a big bike taken out of them. Yes. And they're just a huge target, you know? They're like a...
Starting point is 00:03:06 It must be their equivalent of like blowing up a... What do you... A juice box and jumping on it to explode. Yeah. We're throwing a mostly used up lighter at the ground like an airship. Wait, what's that? Tell me that. You know, people would do that.
Starting point is 00:03:23 You know, like they would... They take it like a mostly used up lighter and then just... like piff it at the concrete as hard as they can so it goes like pow wow it explodes yeah i think so i didn't know about this that's bad boy stuff yeah i never would have done that no i never did either i never had access to lighters they probably leave the school grounds at lunchtime and go to the corner store and buy chips or something or buy a 750 mil coke which by the way seven to things about 750 mil coke. It's a fucking insane amount of coke for us to have been drinking when we were kids.
Starting point is 00:04:02 Oh, yeah. That's number one. And then number two, I saw 750 mil Coke these days. I saw one in the shop. It's like $7.50. Oh, yeah. I mean, that's if you get it from like a convenience store or something like that, it's going to be a lot more. It's crazy.
Starting point is 00:04:19 It's crazy. Yeah. Yeah, you got to, you know, at least one good thing they have here is the dollar stores. They got dollarrama, and you can still get, like, you could still get a Gatorade for a buck 50. I mean, that's great. You know? That's great. You cannot argue with that.
Starting point is 00:04:35 You can get a pretty big salsa for about four bucks. One of the most disgusting drinks you'll ever experience. Yeah. You could get that for a dollar 50. The Gatorade is a thing that they can even, like, sell the people with a straight face is wild. Yeah. Their flavor, all the. Flavors, you know, they've got all those different colors, but the only flavor is disgusting.
Starting point is 00:04:59 It's dish water. Gatorade. What's the thing that they talk about in electrolytes? Wait. Electrolites, yeah. Because what are examples of, like, I'm pretty sure salt is like an electrolyte. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like, what if we put some salt in with the sugar water?
Starting point is 00:05:20 Yeah. And then we invented Gatorade. And then we're like, yeah, well, you need it. to get back your electrolytes. Do you mean the thing that you are getting too much of in everything? The thing I get when I eat a packet of chips, I'm not getting enough of that? Yeah. It's exciting.
Starting point is 00:05:40 Hey, look, firstly, I just want to say, I think that airship rescue, where, you know, like an airship is going up because it's so high. There probably are places where it's like it's so high that you can't We don't have us a plane That is suitable for going up there and rescuing I guess you wouldn't use a plane for a rescue So you need a high altitude helicopter That wouldn't work because the helicopter can't go that high
Starting point is 00:06:11 When the air's too thin Unless you can get it Unless you can get it to spin faster You need faster blades? Would that do it? I suppose that would do it. Well, if you can just move, I mean, look, if there's less particles, if you can move
Starting point is 00:06:31 the ones that are there away at a faster pace, they should still have a bigger impact. I assume, Andy, I am making some assumptions here. You know, I'm sure that there's a level where that also fails to work. No, but, you know, on a superficially, I would say your physics is sound. Yeah. I'll allow it. Okay, great. continue.
Starting point is 00:06:52 And then... I'll invest in this product. And then there's only a certain amount of time that the people that are on this airship would have, I guess, unless... Because it's probably not a pressurized cabin, I assume. I mean, now, I don't want to assume. Okay. But it's pressure...
Starting point is 00:07:08 Let's say it is pressurized, but there's only a certain amount of oxygen. Yes, good. Good, good, good. You know? And they can't just breathe faster, like your helicopter plan. That's right. just everybody but you could encourage everybody to breathe shallower or like slower because i mean you know i'm going to lead okay you know like imagine you're up there you would
Starting point is 00:07:34 say hey everybody i'm going to lead a group meditation that's interesting yeah i think that would work like yeah if you could slow everybody's heart rates and stuff yeah hey you shout at the people up the back doing a zumba class you say Hey, you cut that out. That's right. You cut that out. You're respiring too fast. That's your, yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:56 That's your third Zumba class, this voyage. Come down here, do some mindfulness drawing, okay? Or pet one of these miniature horses. Yeah. Okay? Let's get that heart rate down. That's what we want, though. We do just want that thing that they talk about, like the golden age of air travel.
Starting point is 00:08:19 you know, we just want to be able to be in the air and wear a suit, smoke, you know, go to a buffet, you know, sit on some lounge chairs, you know, walk around. There's no like rows of seats. You're not using the vehicle to get there fast. You're using it to just get there in the form of an experience.
Starting point is 00:08:48 correct you know like i don't actually need to get there i'm going to get halfway there and then tell you i forgot something and because it's the golden age of air travel you're going to turn everybody around and come back just so that i can pick it up it's a high-end cruise that that was what it was like you could go you could go walk straight into the cockpit tell the captain i forgot my electric shaver will have to go back and he would turn that plane around in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. And he would fly low enough that your wife could throw it up in the air. She could just lob it and he would catch it because he had his window open because he was... Got it.
Starting point is 00:09:36 Now! No, no, no, no, no. Go, go, go, go. That's great. Now, there was a second thing I feel like we spoke about, but I do think the rescue, it would be fun. It's fun to rescue somebody from up rather than down. You know? I'm just all for more symmetry, you know.
Starting point is 00:10:00 I also think that there should be a version of reverse cycle air conditioning. You know, at the moment, we only have that for heat, for getting heat into your house. Yeah. What if we had that for other things? What if you could reverse cycle, extract existing flavor from the atmosphere and add it into your food. Oh, yeah. That's a good idea.
Starting point is 00:10:23 That's a really good idea. What if you could do that for light? Yeah. You could extract light for ambient light. Like even when it's dark, there's still some light around. Yeah. If you could have a machine that sort of extracted that light. Like your house has a people that open so big.
Starting point is 00:10:43 But it's got to almost be sort of active somehow sucking the photons. Yeah, sure. Oh, a little black hole in there. Oh, that's exactly what you need. Yes. And, you know, you'd sort of, you'd have a little black hole that maybe you could sort of turn it off and on really quickly or something where you're like, you suck the light in, then you turn the black hole off and the light shoot straight through and then you turn it back on again for a bit.
Starting point is 00:11:10 You know, there'd be something you can do. Yeah. Yeah. I imagine, I mean, it would probably be, you could do it with like a ring. Like if you could get a bend a black hole into a ring. Yeah. I'm sure people are trying to do this. Maybe one around the earth so that it doesn't actually affect the earth.
Starting point is 00:11:30 You know, it's an equal force. I guess it would affect us in a great way. But it's an equal force in all, in, you know, all 360 directions. So then the force upon you would should be somewhat even, I guess. nobody's that would only work if we were right in the middle of the earth if all we all move to the middle of the earth so we can install this great ring yeah i think you might otherwise to like if you were closer to it i think even just like being on either side of the planet um but alice there we're yet to establish what you think the benefits of this would be or maybe we don't need to maybe it's
Starting point is 00:12:07 something we just build and we'll work out we'll just see we think it'll do something we'll work out the business model later. And how do we stop it from just crashing into the earth? Like, you know, like, it's not going to just be, oh, do we have to spin it really fast or something like that? Yeah, of course it would be spinning. Of course. Really fast?
Starting point is 00:12:31 Yeah. I mean, that might even be part of what stops it from collapsing, you know? Like, it might have to be spinning so fast that the rotational forces sort of keep it stretched out. You know, imagine, imagine if you could just, this is, if you could just do that thing that you do with wires, but you do it with like a wire of black holes and you make a coil, and then you can spin it around like an electric engine. Like, I don't have any theories about what that would create, right? But it feels like it would do something.
Starting point is 00:13:05 We know that it does something with some things. Fuck, that would absolutely do something. Yeah. You can't deny. Like, you could probably even prove using physics that it would do something. We don't know what it is, but look at this proof here is undeniable. Something will be done. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:26 But I mean, I really hope that, like, humanity lasts long enough as a species for us to get into the phase where we are like, sure, whatever, we'll try it. You know? Yeah. We'll build a, we'll build a circular black hole around the earth. Like, we've had a good run. And, like, the entire species is in a sort of like, eh. Yeah, all right. Maybe we're in this phase now.
Starting point is 00:13:55 Yeah. Yeah. Might destroy everything, but we'll give it a go. Something different. Something different. That'll shake things up. Shake things up a bit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:06 Wait, with, you know, you could be out there on the street interviewing anybody of any culture, anywhere in the world and they're all like yeah sure yeah everybody's had their fill and you know everybody if we died now everybody'd be kind of relatively okay and on that topic it would be great to also invent a new sexuality that uh no religions have any issues with because i feel like every sort of non-heteronormative uh sexuality there is a um some somebody's got a problem with it. Yeah. Right.
Starting point is 00:14:43 Whatever it is that you're doing. It'd be really good to come up with a new one. So do we have to create a new religion or a new sexuality? A new, I think a new sexuality. And then every, it turns out that every religion doesn't, it doesn't bother them. Yeah, great. I'm not sure how we do it, but like we, maybe we could, maybe we could sort of take all the data, all the religious data. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:07 And all the, and we'll analyze all the complaints. and all the competing things, and we find a completely neutral point using some kind of weighted average that they're all cool with. You know, like, because, you know, when you're solving in a quadrilateral equation, there'll be a positive solution, okay?
Starting point is 00:15:28 Yeah. And then they'll also be like an inverse, a negative solution, which is equally valid. Okay, I feel like heteronormative heterosexuality stuff is the positive solution to the, equation. Now we need to find that negative one. Yeah. And I'm really excited to find out what it will be. Completely speculative new sexuality. And the implication of sexuality does mean that you do have to have
Starting point is 00:15:53 sex with that thing, right? Um, um, um, um, uh, you have to have sex. I think, I think you have to want to. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, that's interesting. Maybe there'll be some kind of a new back-to-back 69 we could come up with. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, yeah. where you're like oh you slit you slit the um the other person's back of their head between your cheek and their neck in between your cheeks like it's a almost like a like a really comfortable um like airplane neck pillow yes you know this is great actually this um speaking of airlines this could be a new way for them to fit more passengers in. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:46 If they were sort of stack, because this is, you know, you find that when you're trying to fit, you know, cookies onto a cookie platter, you sort of got to interlock them in order to get more onto your sheet. And I guess we'll all have to be laying on our sides. Yeah, on our sides, all sort of upside down. Some of us have to be inside. I think that's what I'm trying to avoid with my on our sides thing, because I think nobody's going to want to sit upside down.
Starting point is 00:17:14 A lot of people don't even really like sitting backwards on a train facing opposite direction to which way the train's moving. But, I mean, that's golden age of air travel thinking, Alistair. You've got to let go of that. We're in the sort of brown age of air travel. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The muck age. We're in the muck, yes. and we're in the muckhole age era.
Starting point is 00:17:44 And so, you know, but I think you're right that like once the, I mean, if you could do away with the seats entirely, or at least every second row of seat and the passenger becomes the seat for the person in front of them, this is huge. Yeah. I mean, if they said that they were unveiling a new seat and it was just a person sort of crouching a little bit and then somebody, sits on their lap. Yeah. Like a sort of like the first person is at the back and with their back to the wall and they bend
Starting point is 00:18:15 their knees a little bit. And then the other person sits on that. And then everybody kind of interlocks so that then you can kind of like take the effort, like take the strain off of your legs. You know, you don't have to. It's really good. It just kind of secures you in place. And then you're kind of fine.
Starting point is 00:18:34 And then maybe we all wear this like weird face. mask that puts that puts a screen on the back of our head so that the other person can That's great and you know what else you could have you could have a little Rumba toilet Yeah. Okay. That drives around the plane. Well, you just go. And then sort of squats underneath like you press the button above your head and you summon the little Rumba robot.
Starting point is 00:18:59 Yeah. And it squaw, it comes and like parks under your butt and the person you're sitting on you say, all right, it's happening. and they sort of try and pull their legs a bit further apart so you can shit down between their legs into the little toilet robot. Yeah, I think you just got to go. It says, yum, yum, and then drives away.
Starting point is 00:19:23 Yeah, I think if the toilet says yum, that makes the whole experience a bit nicer. Doesn't it? You know, you've got to feel like somebody's having a good time. Yeah, I find it crazy that those Japanese toilets don't have that feature. I mean, absolutely right. And I think that, you know, maybe they could build a robot that actually enjoys that so much, right?
Starting point is 00:19:53 It gets, you know, utilitarian point of view. We built a sentient robot that enjoys getting pooped into so much that the, like, if you, the net amount of enjoyment of one of the, air flights is exactly the same as it used to be. Okay. Yeah, because even though you're having a bad time. Yeah, and everybody else is. The robots enjoying it so much that, you know, you can't argue with that. I mean, you could imagine making a toilet, sort of a conscious toilet or whatever that does enjoy the poop so much that that is the tipping point of a robot revolution when it's,
Starting point is 00:20:36 you know, one of those toilets not getting enough poop to satisfy itself. And that it then starts hunting people for their, for their fecese. Right. I think we might have already done, I think we might have already done the Matrix of Piss. Yeah. But we haven't done the, we haven't done the eye robot of poo. I poo bot. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:04 Great. I robotum. Yeah. I... I think Irobotum. I'm pretty sure we've already done I-Robote. I can't remember what that one was. But, yeah, great.
Starting point is 00:21:30 Forms. I did start to worry yesterday. Yeah. I spent, like, this is like, do you spend a lot of time worrying about robots and AI, now? Well, I mean, I guess, yeah, it's hard not to just because it's like the, I mean, yeah, I think that because of the AI controlled drones, I think that's going to be a real problem. You mean, like, in war, in a sense of it. In war, but then it becoming just something that's around.
Starting point is 00:22:08 Yeah, right. But I just, but what I do. It's not part of it I've worried about. Okay. So that's good. I'll start worrying about that now. No, but then, but the part, but I guess the thing that gives me comfort is that there is so much world.
Starting point is 00:22:21 There's so much world. One, one thing that I wish was happening was that why hasn't this kind of like robot, droney kind of thing entered into sort of like the forest fire sort of world yet? Why are we not using satellites and then like automatic response? things that just go, and then go and carry water immediately. Fucking huge swarms of things that are flying out into the bush and putting out fires before they can take hold. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:22:54 And like sensing them when they're just a tiny little, like a tiny little ember. Yeah. And go in and squirt and that. Yeah. I mean, it's a really good idea. I mean, these fires, they spread pretty quick, but you feel like you could almost sort of like have drones. I mean, if we're going to do this, you could have them sort of patrolling these high-risk areas.
Starting point is 00:23:17 So they're right there, you know, ready to go. I mean, of course, it feels like, you know, there could be some risks associated with the drones, kind of crashing and starting fires. But, I mean, they're full of water. Maybe they've got a little thing so that, like, when they crash, they sort of self-explode or whatever. Yeah. And they... Yeah, they have like a little, like, a CO2 tank attack. to them that when they blow, it removes all the oxygen from the area.
Starting point is 00:23:48 Yeah. They've got a little black hole in there, so they implode down into a little singularity. Yeah. Like, have I ever seen that somewhere, a thing that takes oxygen out of the area for just a second, but that would maybe snuff out fire or whatever? but through maybe like an explosion. Is this something that you've heard about? I think I've heard about this and I think this is because I think some of the bombs that they were using in Gaza
Starting point is 00:24:20 were so powerful that they did that somehow. It's fucking wild. Yeah. But I'm not convinced that that could be used to prevent wildfires. Yeah, I mean, I don't know if it could prevent it because I mean that would have to constantly be bombing the forest. But you know what? We could maybe get some political... I'm sure there's some political groups who would back this.
Starting point is 00:24:45 Yeah. Bomb the forest. Bomb the forest. I haven't heard that. And it could be good. It could be good. Yeah. I mean,
Starting point is 00:24:54 every time I'm thinking about, like, bombs being dropped in places, I'm always thinking about those animals who have no idea what's going on. And they're like, what the fuck was that? You know, like a... Yeah, I mean, how dogs hate, like, A firework. Yeah. They're going to really hate war.
Starting point is 00:25:17 Yeah. Again, that's another good angle. Thank you. Thank you. I mean, I have, look, I have written some stuff down. Yes. So we don't have to feel bad about that, Andy. I don't feel bad at all, actually.
Starting point is 00:25:31 I feel like we're having a great time. Yeah, I'm having a good time as well, Andy. Alistair. But what if, yeah? What do you think of my pitch of, um, of bad comedian, uh, breaking bad style TV show about a comedian going right wing for, uh, airtime and, and clout? Uh, do you think? Yeah, I mean, I think, I think that it is definitely something that's happened.
Starting point is 00:26:03 Um, you know, like, uh, in the, um, um, in the, um, um, um, um, you know, like, uh, in the, um, um, um, uh, um, in the, terms of a like yeah i think that i've heard from people that there are a bunch of comedians that um that have been like yeah i'm not necessarily right wing but i this this is where the audience and the money is um do you i mean i'm sort of surprised it hasn't already been done as a tv show yeah right because it feels like something that's such a part of our cultural conversation i mean maybe it's too obvious and that's why it hasn't been done. But like, I think it's, I think it is potentially really interesting to see the inside of
Starting point is 00:26:46 that transformation. Yeah. And, you know, once you start doing something like that, even if you are doing it, you know, just pretend for pretenses. Yeah. Once you are in that world, it'll be the people from your old world who, you know, you know, who remember you from before you did. Like, because I think, I think what's maybe even the most interesting is that you start
Starting point is 00:27:16 off with a comedian who's sort of like, not even all that, like, they're not super political, right? Yeah. They're not super, um, actively, passionately, um, left wing, right? Because it feels like that's something that might be even easier to twist into going right wing, like from a perverted sense of righteousness. But if you start off with somebody who's just like a nice guy and sort of a bit of a soft liberal and they've got progressive friends and progressive ideals but not that active on it,
Starting point is 00:27:56 but then like they have one joke or something, right, which is like a little bit edgy, almost by accident. And people really like that joke. like, or they get a really good reaction. And they get asked onto like some guys, big, big podcast or whatever. It gets quite a big following from it. And people are like, I love that thing you said where you went after the, I don't know. The Roma people.
Starting point is 00:28:23 Dei. Yeah. Yeah. They use the correct term. And the person would be like, oh, I actually wasn't my intention of that. Yeah. I wasn't supposed to be a gypsy joke or whatever it was. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:38 But then you go like, well, technically I don't know any people like that. And it wouldn't hurt me if I'll just try one more. Yeah, exactly. Put a clip up. And then, you know, they would have started out and they just had like this sort of mild comedy. You know, it got lots of jokes about doing, about, wombat's and doing the washing up, I don't know. But then, you know, getting...
Starting point is 00:29:12 And then they are doing like, you know, objectively worse comedy, I think, but being much more successful. I mean, I think it would be really easy if you were getting success. Even if you had, like, you know, if you was like slightly more left wing or whatever, to...
Starting point is 00:29:34 to actually accept right-wing beliefs a lot more. If you're like, even if you're just doing a character, because then you're like, you're sort of reading into it a little bit more. And now because there's a path to success, you're kind of just allowing yourself to actually be like, actually there's some good points here because it actually really helps. Yeah. Yeah. You know? And, you know, yeah, justify, justify it to yourself.
Starting point is 00:30:02 And then like your old friends would be like, like, hey man, you don't believe this stuff or like to stop doing that. But then now they're the ones who are sort of causing you pain, you know, and so you will move away from them and reject them in order to feel good about yourself. Yeah. And that'll push you further along. Yeah. And I think that there's also money around for people who do that kind of stuff. And who can, you know, like, you could probably imagine somebody meeting an agent who's like, hey, I could, I can, I can get an audience for you for this kind of thing. We can sell ads and all that kind of stuff.
Starting point is 00:30:40 And some of that money might come directly from billionaires. And that's great. That's wealth redistribution. Exactly. It's one of the few ways you can win. You can win. Yeah. You can get some of the money from techno-fascist billionaires and redistributing it to
Starting point is 00:30:59 small, struggling, small-time racists all over the world. Yes. I mean, what could be more progressive than that? Yeah. No, I think it's definitely a fun idea. It's like, you know, you got to tease it out over a little bit, don't you, that one? You got to tease it out. You got to see that transformation.
Starting point is 00:31:21 Then we can really. And you know what's great about this as a show is that because we're satirizing right-wing comedians, who we hate and we think they suck. We can just, you know, the problem with stand-up comedy TV shows is the stand-up comedy is always shit. Yeah. But this time it's supposed to be.
Starting point is 00:31:49 Yeah, exactly. It's a great loophole. But then there's that extra that great bit there where your audience becomes so big that governments start using you as a place where they can drop off some of their talking points and things like that and have an effect on the national conversation. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:12 That's, you know, that's not meant to, that's not meant to be. I can have members of high-ranking members of the local intelligence agency to give me insider scoops. You know that thing that intelligence agencies normally love to really give out? This is what it's really like in this agency. and we love to tell people about it. We love to tell people about all the things that we do. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:38 And yes, we are a bunch of spies, right? But what we're telling you, there's no agenda to it. Yeah. You can trust us that this is just like there's no ulterior motive. Yes, we are the Department of Disinformation, but we, we trust you we're telling you the real facts but you're a dude man you're a
Starting point is 00:33:07 fucking dude man you're a fucking dude man you're fun you're a good hang yeah that's cool love it yeah they they scored a real scoop when they call themselves the intelligence services didn't they
Starting point is 00:33:24 yeah almost that any industry could have done that when they were giving out the names yeah yeah it would have been I guess I guess we could still call ourselves. There's a still a group they call themselves the smarts or, you know, all the smart industry. There should be a department, like a RIS department. Yeah. Or, um, it wasn't intelligent. It was definitely cleverance, not intelligence, but. Hmm. That's interesting. Yeah. Yeah. Just, yeah. So I realize you did already say smarts.
Starting point is 00:33:56 But like, but like, that's good. Like, you know, I said Riz. Oh, yeah. Um, but, but, um, but, um, But then when you said cleverness, I came back around to it because I started listening to it. But I didn't even say cleverness. I said cleverance, like intelligence. Cleverence. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, but, but, but I mean, it's such a dumb word for being smart.
Starting point is 00:34:27 There's something there. Cleverosity. Cleverosity. Cleverosity. I think cleverance is like, because intelligence feels like it deals with, like at least from a political perspective, it deals with facts, right?
Starting point is 00:34:42 Like facts that new information that other people don't have. Whereas cleverance feels like it might deal with sort of pretty strong hunches or like ideas about what the facts might be without actually having the information. Good predictions. You know, you can sort of good predictions. Pretty good guesstimates. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:10 Which, you know, it might have its place. It feels like that's what they were doing with the Iraq War the first time around. They did give us a few cleverances. Yeah, that wasn't the intelligence agencies that gave us that. That was the hunch department. They were pretty sure. They had a strong feeling. I mean, what else would it?
Starting point is 00:35:31 be other than these things that we think that was uh the emotional intelligence services isn't that kind of like it's a it's a funny idea isn't it that like that there is a whole industry with the um with the war you know the um all the weapons industry you know industries that do have a incentive to you know to come out and say, hey, we think that these places are a threat. Yeah. When, you know, I think most countries don't even want to have a guy. I don't really know what's going on over anywhere. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:13 But, like, when they went into Venezuela and just, like, grab that guy, grabbed the president. Yeah. I think they actually killed people when they were doing that mission as well. Yeah, right. I think they killed, you know, Venezuelan guards or whatever. Yeah. I don't know. I shouldn't say this because I don't know a single thing about it. But I was like, really, why are you guys so obsessed with Venezuela?
Starting point is 00:36:39 What? It does feel like you just like span a wheel and you were like, yeah, okay, these guys. Like the, I wonder if the, yes, these massive, you know, military industrial complexes, you know, they have a list, a sort of like a leaderboard of countries. who they, you know, we could sort of start some shit with. Yeah. And they're constantly trying to, like, move people up that ranking. Yeah, I mean, so it says here, it says nearly 50 Venezuelan soldiers killed in the U.S. abduction of President Majuro. So, you know, either, so it was either, like, 50 or 49 Venezuelans and maybe like a Colombian or something like that. Right.
Starting point is 00:37:29 There were nearly 50 Venezuelans. Nearly. Sorry. Well, like, maybe one had a dual citizenship or something like that and that I'd consider a lot of Venezuela. Yeah, it's a 49 and a half. We don't know. We round that up.
Starting point is 00:37:41 We round that down. But, yeah. But, like, it feels like we don't, we didn't, nobody, we didn't talk about that at all. Yeah. And I think they also have kept control of their oil fields and they're sort of just taking that. I think is what's happened. Yeah I mean that's
Starting point is 00:38:03 fucking crazy it's really crazy It's not a normal time Um What about the Because what are you supposed to do If you're that One of those
Starting point is 00:38:14 Those soldiers You know What are you supposed to do You're supposed to be like No yeah no Fair cop You guys are probably On the right about this
Starting point is 00:38:24 I'll let you go in And They'll probably Just shoot you Anyway On the way past I just I just like, you want to feel like
Starting point is 00:38:34 there's a way out for these people that there was a good choice they could have made, you know, the Venezuelan soldiers. Yeah. And I don't think there is. I mean, I think the good choice in a lot of this stuff is always running away. I think that's why we're made to feel like running away
Starting point is 00:38:53 is like a real cowardly thing. Because it's genuinely the best response to almost any person. problem. And maybe then as well as having a defense department. Then as well? You know, Department of War, we need to have a Department of Surrender with equally as much funding, okay, and equally as much resources and manpower dedicated to the
Starting point is 00:39:20 cause of running away. Yeah, I mean, that's more of a, that's more of a retreat than it is a... Right, right, right, right. And the great thing about that name is that it sounds like you could be... sending them to a really nice foreign place. That's, yeah, right. Well, which if you are in a foreign, in a foreign war, then, uh, you are going to a nice foreign place back home, you know, far away.
Starting point is 00:39:46 That's true. Unless, unless, unless the country you're invading is better than yours. And I think, um, yeah, that's true. I think that's basically what they did with Dunkirk, you know? That was like the most successful retreat of all time. Yeah. And it's great that they do hold that up. Because you don't see a lot of retreats celebrated.
Starting point is 00:40:15 Mm. Mm. But every person who has sort of, who's run away from their army during a war, that's you know that's that's yeah it's a deserter but it's grant a retreat retreats and desserts you know yes they're not making it sound bad yeah if you went on if you were at a retreat and then you met a deserer you'd be like oh yeah well you know what there'll be a deserter there you're like oh that sounds like it's going to be delicious um it sounds like a french chef that just
Starting point is 00:40:53 makes those right makes desserts Yeah. Is it called a dessert like in a meal? Because it's when you're sort of retreating from the table. You know, like you're running away from the meal. Yeah, unless you're running away from, yeah, I guess you're escaping the meal or you're escaping, you know, good sense. I shouldn't be having a sweet thing every meal like this. it is a little running away from responsibility. Do you give your kids dessert after dinner? Not all the time. Yeah, but when you do it once every now and then,
Starting point is 00:41:35 they do start to try to ask for it every day. I don't know if yours do that. Yeah. Yeah, no, no, I've definitely noticed that. Yeah, and, you know, fair enough. Yeah, where's my... Can we have ice cream now? We go, it's not every day.
Starting point is 00:41:48 And you go... Yeah. And you go, well, it should be. Why not? Yeah, why not? And you go, you're right. It should be every day. For some reason, no.
Starting point is 00:41:56 For some reason, you can't have it. I don't know why. When I was growing up, we couldn't have it sometimes for some reason. Yeah. I don't know. And that's why. Do you think mostly it's just because we're not organized enough? Because it's like at the last minute, you already just had to be like,
Starting point is 00:42:13 what the fuck are we going to make tonight? And then you had to, you gathered all the stuff, and you just forgot to get stuff for dessert. In terms of like experiencing a different person's life. Yeah. One of the things that I would like to know what it's like to feel like is being organized. Yeah. Being somebody who has their fucking shit together, who knows anything about how to like plan a day or a week or a year.
Starting point is 00:42:45 Yeah. You know, like thinking ahead. Going like, and then we're going to do this. And these are the steps we're going to do to make that happen. I mean, I can't begin. I think I think I have like the ability to plan to set a goal and to plan for it and to act on those steps to achieve it. I don't think I've ever really done anything outside of a 24 hour cycle. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:17 Yeah, yeah. Like I pack for a trip. usually within the half hour before we leave. Exactly right. I start getting dressed to leave the house in the morning five minutes before I have to be on my bicycle to get to the train station. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:34 Do you pack a bag, or they do pack like a shirt that is going to be dry that you can put on later, or do you just sweat into your shirt that you're going to work in? I mean, it's mostly downhill on the way to the train station. I don't, I think, I think you and I have a different relationship, a different relationship with sweat.
Starting point is 00:43:56 Do we? I don't think I'm a big sweater. No, no, no. I think, I just think we have a different relationship with it. Yeah, as in like, you just sit in a shirt that you sweat in? I don't notice it. I don't think of, I mean, I don't, I don't, I'm not aware of, uh, sweating. Like, we've had this conversation.
Starting point is 00:44:20 conversation before and I think you have a sort of a I don't know if it's like a hang-up or maybe even a kind of borderline psychosis where you're worried about about sweating and I just don't worry about it yeah I don't sweat it you know I mean I think when I was riding to work I was riding all the way to work so you're not doing that you're sort of no it's more of a cowards ride just to the train station I'm not riding the eight hours it takes to get to my office every day, correct. Let me just check the maps because I bet you that's not true. I bet you you could, it would be physically doable. Well, it's an hour and a half drive, right?
Starting point is 00:45:06 And I reckon I ride about an eighth as fast as a car can go. Yeah, hang on. Right, now we're both looking it up. Yeah, seven hours. That's heaps less. That's a lot. It's actually six hours, 54 minutes. Thanks, Al.
Starting point is 00:45:31 Oh, thank God you weren't right. Oh, my gosh. But there's actually two vastly different directions you could take. You could go down through, like, Tarniate, or you could go through, like, St. Albans and Aynchree and stuff like that. I reckon there's probably an infinite number of ways you could go, I guess. But anyway, very...
Starting point is 00:45:58 Well, my maps say it's only, oh, only six hours and 18 minutes, but they are also giving me an option via Black Hill Road, which is eight hours and 25 minutes. Yeah, I've just gone Ballarat to Melbourne. You know, I'm not putting in specific. So, yeah, so yours is even closer to six hours. so I mean I'm really I'm humiliated
Starting point is 00:46:21 yeah I mean today I went for a big bike ride I rode from where we're living to the Jacques Cartier Bridge over the St. Lawrence River and I have not fit enough to do that and I but I did do it and my ass was really sore and it's not really ass it was a sore Gucci kind of area so and a bridge as well
Starting point is 00:46:43 were you on the road with the cars or were you on a kind of like a footpathy thing. On the bridge, I was on a bike path. Great. Great. Because I think being on a bridge with the cars on a bike, that's a fucking terrifying prospect. Has anyone?
Starting point is 00:47:00 There's nowhere to hide. Yeah. No, no. And then they have those fences that go up so high and curl inwards so that you can't like throw a baby over the top or whatever. Yeah. You can't even kill yourself halfway through the bridge thing. the scariest part.
Starting point is 00:47:17 I know, that is crazy. There's no way out. Yeah. Does anyone address the fact that Gucci is called Gucci? I mean, that's crazy. How is that? Yeah. I don't think we have.
Starting point is 00:47:33 I don't think we have. How have we, how have they gotten this far? I mean, we can't pretend like, just because they're Italian, they can get away with this. No. No. I mean, we didn't, we didn't let Mussolini get away. way with fascism just because he was Italian. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:47:58 At a certain point, we've got to stop making excuses for the Italians. I mean, and that point, as we know it, that point is somewhere between calling a fashion house Gucci and being a part of the Axis powers in World War II. We're not sure exactly where the line is. Well, you know what, we've given them another big pass. And somewhere between those two things, we stop making excuses. We've given them another big pass. that we never say it was the Italians that killed Jesus, even though...
Starting point is 00:48:28 Wow, we never... You're fucking hell we don't do it. We don't. Even though we just... We say Romans. Oh, where's Rome? In Italy. That's a real, like, that's a phoenixing kind of thing, you know?
Starting point is 00:48:41 Yeah. That's declaring bankruptcy, re-launching the country under a new name to try and get away some of those bad debts. You think God doesn't keep track of that kind of? stuff. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, is this the people of that one city? Okay.
Starting point is 00:48:57 Mm-hmm. Yeah, you're not all like that? Oh, was a different time. Italy didn't even exist then. Yeah. Yeah. So who built all your buildings? They don't want to, they don't want to build any new buildings in Italy.
Starting point is 00:49:15 Yeah. You know, I think if you've still got the same buildings, you're still the same people. Yeah. That's right. If you want to be new people, you've got to knock down that colise. Yeah, you've got to get some. modern stuff in there. I want to see a bloody
Starting point is 00:49:27 a bloody, I don't know, Trader Joe's or something that. I've never even seen one Trader Joe. That's why I want you to build one. Because I'm coming to Italy soon, and I want to be able to see one. Trader Giuseppies. That's right. Trader John Marcos. Hey, Andy. On Saturday night, I had
Starting point is 00:49:45 I had that moment that I was really proud of, and it's not something that I should be really proud of. But I don't know if I ever showed you this, but there's that comedian, John Marco Seresi, is one of the big comedians in the world. I've never heard of him. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:04 John Marco Serrecy. Look him up right now. You may have seen, you may recognize his face. Maybe you've never seen him. I mean, recently. John Marco or John, like French? Like Italian. J-I-A-N.
Starting point is 00:50:18 M-A-R. I'm never going to guess that. C-O-S-R-E-S-R-E. Yeah, right. Oh, one way. Oh, look at this guy. He's never seen. Oh, wait. I see one of these pictures I kind of recognize him. Yeah, he's one of the... Oh, and there he is talking to Aaron Chen. Yeah. So he's big. You know, he's big. He's doing really well. He's done unbelievable. He's been one of those sort of hot guys in comedy in terms of both looks and, you know, popularity of one of the up-and-common huge stars kind of thing like that, right? Last year he did a podcast where somebody asked him how much he spent on social media
Starting point is 00:50:54 and he responded $20,000 a month. Fuck. Is that like producing stuff or like boosting stuff? I mean, I guess it would be, I can't imagine, it can't even begin to understand the depths. He's done a real sort of pivot from being quite a dweeby looking guy. Yeah. To sort of, um, quite, quite a bit hotter. Yeah, he's, uh, he's often accused of queer baiting.
Starting point is 00:51:24 Really? Yeah. Because everybody's like, you make us try to make, you make us think like you're, you're gay and hot. But he's, I think he's just hot. Right. But, uh, but he's, you know, he's a good performer, all that kind of stuff. Anyway, I saw him at the sort of not quite final night party, but at the big party,
Starting point is 00:51:44 uh, Just for Laughs on Saturday night. As I walked in, I was already a little bit pumped full of drinks. And I just went over to him quite quickly, probably too quickly. But also, you haven't been drinking for a very long time. Yeah, I haven't been drinking for quite a long time. And then we just decided, anyway, and I ran up to it and I went, $20,000. Like that?
Starting point is 00:52:09 And just yelled in his face. And he went, it's actually much more now. And I go, that's unachievable for every. Everybody, what are you doing? I just built it up over time. I go, anyway, great work on everything you do. See ya. Great.
Starting point is 00:52:27 No, that's really funny. I can't even remember if I actually did say that last thing. Great work. But that's the kind of thing I would normally say to people. But now I feel like I become unsettled that maybe I just yelled at it. Yeah, well, what you've got to do is you've got to start building in that false memory now. You know, start telling yourself the line. that you did say that.
Starting point is 00:52:48 And then over time, you'll lose track of what really was true and you'll be able to sort of just sink into the delusion that you're a good person. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:59 And what more could you want? Alistair, I think we should go to three words from a listener. You're right. We started just blabbering. Because we've come up with so many sketch ideas.
Starting point is 00:53:09 So many sketch ideas. You're absolutely correct, Andy. So then we will go to three words from a listener. Do you want to explain to the listeners what three words from a listener is? Well, basically what it is, is if you're a Patreon supporter of the podcast, you can submit three words from a listener. And that listener could even be you.
Starting point is 00:53:30 And then we'll use those as sort of, I guess, raw material. Or that Nick can be processed and we can extract a sketch idea from. In a form of sort of upcycling. It's a beautiful explain. explanation, Andy. And today's listener is Kieran McFadgin. Kieran McFadgin. I can't tell you how lovely it is for me to hear these names, you know, coming up again and again. And they're all over time. I build such a rich association with all of them. And Kieran McFadgin, you know, it's just beautiful to hear.
Starting point is 00:54:15 But I'm just guessing McFadgin. I don't mind. Either way, I'm happy. Yeah. Well, it says... I'm happy to hear it. Kieran says, Hello, Alistair.
Starting point is 00:54:26 Hello with a you. Oh. Yeah. Not Hulu, but hello. No. I noticed that you requested three words from a listener. I am and I always am. Here are three random words I have found.
Starting point is 00:54:43 I hope they are to your satisfaction. And then there's three words. I wonder how random they are I mean that could be a deception Do you want to guess? But I'll guess the first word Plant I thought you might get that one
Starting point is 00:55:03 No The first word is Moby Second word dickless Andy Bobby Dickless Andy the second word is dick Dick Moby Dickhead.
Starting point is 00:55:23 Andy, the third word is piercing. Oh. You couldn't have been further from it, maybe. I kept just shooting wide of the mark, turning around and firing my arrow back into the audience at the Olympic Stadium. It was all there for you to get, Andy. I wonder if anybody in the Olympics, the Olympic archery.
Starting point is 00:55:51 Yeah. I wonder if any of the archers have ever, because this is a real loophole. This is like finding a shortcut on Mario. You're pulling back your arrow. You turn it around. It's finding a shortcut. Oh, okay, sorry.
Starting point is 00:56:06 Finding a shortcut. You're pointing it towards the target, but then you turn around and you point your arrow towards, I guess, like one of the judges or maybe a child, a child in the crowd. And you just keep it trained on them. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:21 And then you're like, you raise your eyebrows and you're not over towards the guy who's holding the medals, right? And you sort of jerk your head and get him to come over here and you go like, and you get him to put the metal around your neck. And then you just keep it pointed at that kid, right? Until, I guess until you die, you know, they're never going to come and take that metal away. It's an archery competition stick up. Yeah, great. You know, because you could just, you could just, you know, not. to him and sort of signal over to him get them to bring you all three medals oh great you know and then
Starting point is 00:56:59 you just get out of there yeah but then do you don't do you think that that would mean that some of the other contestants are allowed to start shooting arrows at you um because it must be frowned upon in the it must be in the archery but but i mean what a scene where suddenly this guy's got arrows pointed on people. And maybe, I guess maybe he's walking, maybe he's got an arrow to the metal guy's head. He's just got his arm extended like that. Out to the side, you mean?
Starting point is 00:57:36 Yeah, out to the side. Yeah, it would be a really difficult position to hold. But he's an Olympian. You know, he might not have been going to win, but he's still good. I mean, this is what he trained. Hey, he trained to get a medal. And that's what he's done. see you see some really good soccer players, you know, they can bounce like a golf ball.
Starting point is 00:58:01 Or no, actually, you see golf players who can sort of juggle a golf ball on the end of their club, right? Yeah. And you're like, that's not the sport that you've trained to do. That's right. But you're still able to do it because you're so competent. You're so competent in this sport that you started, you've created new sports with the same equipment. Exactly right. And that's the little side shooting. stick-up thing. There should be a tiny bow and arrow
Starting point is 00:58:26 for stick-ups like that. Like a tiny little bow-an-row you could keep in a holster on your ankle? In your sock? Yeah. Like, just like a little... Where they frisk you? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:45 They should have done that in Lord of the Rings where somebody was frisking Legolas. Taking them to the king or whatever like that. Yeah. Tell us what their plan is. I don't have a weapon. They took everything. He's like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:01 And then he kneels down to the king and he starts reaching into his sock. I'll tell you everything. And then he starts, Pugh! Is that the string sort of fluttering? I wasn't sure. I guess because it could have been a couple things. I think at first I thought it was maybe the string.
Starting point is 00:59:21 Then I was like, oh, maybe it's the arrows like landing in the throne. Oh, sticking into something. Yeah, yeah. That's very good. This is the thing that's crazy to me about your sonic capabilities. I don't reckon a lot of the time you're trying these sounds for the first time. And you're just, you're bullseying. No, but a guy from an old Quebec comedian that I saw when I was here in the 90s,
Starting point is 00:59:47 he did a sketch thing where somebody swallows a sword, but it goes all the way down into his foot. And so, and then you hear the sword go, so, you know, that one isn't mine. I'm just, you know, I'm just taking... You know, I stole that from 1995 or whatever. He said, what was... Moby Dick piercing.
Starting point is 01:00:14 Yeah. I mean, it's crazy that they... They had this sort of single-use approach to whales, you know, where they're like, hey, if we get the oil out of... this whale, we can use it to power our machinery or whatever. And when they could have been just like, you know, we could, we could, uh, lasso the whale. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:39 Or we could put a piercing, you know, we could put a piercing through his, uh, hump, his humpback whale hump. Yeah. And then we could use him to tow our ships along, like a, like a, like a sort of a whale pack. And then we'll have sustainable whale. power. Yeah. Forever. Yeah, just keep it on a leash or whatever like that.
Starting point is 01:01:00 So it can go far, but then you can just reel it back in when you really need to. Yeah. Or there could just be a whole lot of whales. Like if we'd pierced all the whales in the ocean, right? And they've all just got this big ring on the middle of their backs. Then you just like you track their navigation patterns. And then you just see one going up the East Coast. And you're like, oh, yeah, I want to go that way.
Starting point is 01:01:20 And you just sort of hook on to one of those whales and they can tow you. Yeah, that way. would be good. I mean, this is, this is basic stuff, guys. Yeah, you idiots. Yeah, I, I, like, why didn't anybody ever just, you know, take a bunch of, you know, like, why didn't they get in there up in the whale, get all their eggs, right? Get a bunch of that whale sperm. There must be so much left over. Yeah, yeah, great. Bring it back. Just, you know, grow your, grow, grow, some whales in a pool. Once the pool's full, start again. Just, you know, blend all the whales up, get all the oil. Get a massive bay mix. Stick it into the pool. Just blend all those whales.
Starting point is 01:02:11 Yeah, separate. Let the oil, the oil will rise to the top. Exactly. Right? It'll float to the surface. You scoop that off. Take the other stuff, make whale pat. Exactly. You boil that, you sell that to the Japanese. Yeah. What's that? This is a pure wild extract. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:32 Do you think you'd want what's inside the guts blended in with the stuff? I feel like that, you know, that's sort of like what they do with sardines. You know, you eat the whole sardine. Yeah. Yeah, I find it with prawns that like, people are like, oh yeah, you got to take out the poop shoot. But I wonder whether or not you absolutely have to. Yeah. I don't think you do.
Starting point is 01:02:55 Yeah, you do? What do you think? I know, I said, I don't think you do. I mean, like, what are your things happening? Yeah. They've been, like, cooked with the poop in it. Yeah, it's cooked poop. I think you could, uh, you, you, you probably want to grab the teeth out, right?
Starting point is 01:03:13 Give those to the Scrimshaw people. Scrimshaw could come back as a, as an industry, you know? You know what that is? Oh, what is it? Grimshaw. That's Scrimshaw. That's like doing art. by carving ivory, carving whales teeth and bones and stuff. That's called Grimshaw?
Starting point is 01:03:36 No, Scrimshaw. Oh, Scrimshaw. The third time. If you'd listened any of the times. Well, I obviously listened for part of it. Yeah, but you don't tune in until halfway through everywhere, I say. I just wait to the very initial sound is gone. I'm a suffix guy.
Starting point is 01:03:54 I wait for the R. You know what I say? A suffix will suffice. Yeah. I'll take the body as well. I'll take the body. Yeah, the root word? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:06 But a prefix? Come on. Yeah, I don't need it. You just make me to listen to that? I'll just get you to tell me. Scrim? Yeah. No, do you think...
Starting point is 01:04:18 Scrimony? Do you think there's a sketch in the whale farm pool or... Yeah, or back piercing? Or... Well, back piercing. No, I think, you know, it's all good, man. They're all good. I reckon you could probably, I'm not sure how big whale spurs are,
Starting point is 01:04:36 but I reckon you could probably catch one on a hook. You know, you could probably be, put a little bit of, a little bit of sausage on the end of a shook. I mean, you reckon a bit of whale sperm, probably would be good eating. You could probably feed your family on that. Gotta be. For a month. But don't you think, like, let's say you just go around and you just, like, you figure out how to, how to sort of, you know, get a whale off?
Starting point is 01:05:05 They don't have to lose their dick every time, do they? Is that that thing? I don't think so. Like, it seems to be like... I think you have sniles. Yeah. No, I think there's some whales that have a detachable dick. I don't think that's true. Do whales have detachable dick?
Starting point is 01:05:26 We have to just see. I think what it is is that somebody said snail, but you didn't tune in until halfway through the word. You assumed they were saying, well. Somebody used to have a bit about it, but it says here no whales do not have a detachable penis. So that's good, because I never made sense to me, because you wouldn't, you wouldn't,
Starting point is 01:05:44 there's no, I think that nobody has a thing that you can detach and then just put back on, right? No. Yeah. No. That's good. I think so. That's a relief.
Starting point is 01:05:55 But. But the sperm thing. Sperm is like one of those things that like it seems like you can just have an endless supply of it every day or whatever. And so if you were getting it from a big enough animal, you could farm it. You know, maybe you just have a boat
Starting point is 01:06:13 that either follows the whale. You know, if you had some vision that just follows the whale and then at some point in every day you go down, you do what you need to, you get the stuff. right you come back up and then there's another boat that kind of comes with comes to you finds where you're at picks up your your luggage you keep enough to eat for the day yeah and then he goes back and then he sells it at the market so you think this is sort of like an itinerant you're sort of like that guy collecting gold in the tasmanian wilderness you're sort of just a
Starting point is 01:06:47 sole trader you got a backpack and a little dingy and you're just paddling around yeah yeah and then yeah, you may be like one of those underwater, you know one of those underwater scooter things where you can just, it's like a little handheld kind of like motor that you can use to sort of swim fast underwater. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, they're fucking cool. You get one of those and then you have like, I guess, a little, you have a backpack and inside is a little like whale jerk off machine or whatever. And eventually the whale knows you, so it probably just comes to find you.
Starting point is 01:07:19 Yeah, you have a good relationship. Yeah, you just get like one of those. jack-off machines from Timu, but just you go, can you make it bigger? And in China, they're willing to do that stuff. They are. They just want to manufacture stuff for you. They love to do it. They love to make prototypes and then, you know, do a bulk order of, you know, several thousand of something.
Starting point is 01:07:45 Yeah, and then they... And then they will make a bulk order for you, and then they will start making that same product bought just for themselves. and then they'll sell it on the Chinese market for themselves using your IP. I'm not saying they all do that. I'm saying I would do that if I had a factory. But I'm just saying that if they're not doing that, then maybe your IP's not that good. Yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 01:08:09 That's right. It's a good test. Mr. Kearine McFaghanjean, I hope that that is okay. Yes. Thank you, Kieran. You know what? I just realized that, that, you know, Stu Mack? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:27 I feel like I've, I feel like maybe McFadgin is how Kieran told me to say his name. And I feel like when I add the gin at the end of Stewart's name, I feel like I'm, because one time he told me I pronounced it wrong. And I'm like, I think I've just realized I'm pronouncing it in the way that the other guy told me. Al says the fascinating glimpse behind it. Oh no, it's McCone. That's McCone. And I think I'm saying it like I would say a McFagin.
Starting point is 01:09:00 I don't know that you are. And I almost can't even bring myself to try and understand. But. Andy, let's just wrap it. I'll just take a thing. I think it's been a joyful. Yep. We got airship stuck up rescue.
Starting point is 01:09:18 It's stuck up. Stuck up at the low. low at low I mean high atmosphere then we got the and then that's gonna be because that's the golden age of flying so everybody's in such luxury up there not in a rush but we how do we save them
Starting point is 01:09:35 I wonder if they would just have a big they probably don't have a big rope oh this would have been a great way to save these guys would have been if they had a big rope that they could send down and then we could pull them down but alas Imagine that they do have a rope, but it doesn't go low enough.
Starting point is 01:09:54 And a helicopter is coming to save, gets tangled up in the rope and they fall. Oh, no. Maybe even cut the rope. Yeah. Yeah, or they tangle up and that sort of winds up and they coil themselves up. Yeah, they're stuck there. And then they're dangling. And then they go, oh, maybe we have to climb up the rope to just get into the ship.
Starting point is 01:10:17 Oh, this is good, Andy. It's writing itself. Okay, we got the black hole coil motor that had probably, do something, you know, and that's a... Yep. Humanity's got to a bit, a point where they're like, ah, let's just draw. We got sexuality that religions don't have a problem with. That's some research group is trying to come up with that.
