And I am Alistair George William, Tronblade virtual. Thank you so much for coming around to our file. All right. What do you reckon? One more crocodile Dundee. Right. And this crocodile Dundee, he's in a nursing home. I genuinely think that would be compelling. Yeah. Okay. Hugs, he's, his, his, his, his, his, his side his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his whatever it was, you know, that physical strength. And we see the power of the mind of crocodile Dundee. Right? We see him face down a crocodile just with his face, just with his words. Even though, yeah, because he's got dementia.

Yes, but he doesn't know what a crocodile is anymore. But he's still, no, but he still has his connections. It's like, you know, when you play like a person with like dementia, like, I don't know if you play It's like, you know, when you play like a person with, like, dementia, like, playing music from their time, you get this going from a crocodile, he feels normal again. And the body just takes over the muscle memory.

You just, you just wrap his arms around a crocodile and he knows how to wrestle it. Yeah. You just gotta get him onto the crocodile and he'll do the rest. You put him in front of a chicken and he will hypnotize it. You get him in front of a spider and he will lure it into his hand and then put it down

a back, the back of a bad guy's shirt. Did he do that? Wow, I wouldn't be surprised. I mean, if he bloody didn't, that's a bloody in the movie. Even if he did do that, I think people would love it for it to call back. It's a clawback. It's a clawback. It's the Clawback.

It's the Croscadar Nundback. It's a callback. It's a callback. It's the Force Awakens. Yeah. You know, it's crocodile Nandhi, the Force Awakens. Yeah, and okay, so opening scene, he's just kind of like, he's a little bit limp. He's just a little bit limper than he used to be. He's sitting in his wheelchair at the table in the dining hall of the thing. And and then he picks up his utensils and he turns to the orderly he goes, beautiful, you call this a knife. And he said, you know, you're not allowed, you're not allowed real knives, Mr. Dundee. Now he says, you call this a knife and she says, yes, Mr. Dundee, we call this a knife. And he says, good knife.

That's something that rates itself. But there's got to be at some point, like he's only allowed plastic cutlery or something, so it doesn't hurt himself. But at some point, he does something really impressive with the plastic cutlery. Like he throws a plastic knife across the room and like stabs a guided death. Yeah, maybe he kills a lot more people in this part. Oh, so it's like kind of Rambo, but.

It's a bit like Rambo because he no longer really understands the limits, like, you know, when he was at his peak physical condition, he knew his own strength, he knew his limits. And deep down he was a good guy. And deep down he was a good guy, but now he's lost a lot of his inhibitions as people do when they become seen aren't they?

Also, he doesn't know his own strength. Of course, yeah. Which is still impressive when you're called upon. Still impressive for a guy, his age. Yeah, he can throw a thing, maybe like, maybe he doesn't kill a guy straight up, he might throw his plastic knife and it goes, Brrrrrrrrr, or maybe a creme brulee.

You know, something that's very soft. No, not creme brulee. What's the, what's the wobbly one? Like a jelly. Like a jelly. Like I said, because of tall jelly. Because if it, I guess if it's a creme brulee, you picture that's flat, that's perpendicular

to the ceiling. Yes, you would have to sort of be lobbing it. Loot, it's a lob and you lose a lot of the penetrating power. You know, I've heard you go the lob. Yeah, you would have to sort of be lobbing it. It's a lob and you lose a lot of the the penetrating power. Yeah. I know, I've heard you go the lob. Yeah, it's still, I mean, there's still accuracy in there and that is impressive. I think in a way it's more impressive, right?

Like if I went to a circus, right? And they called out the amazing Ramon knife lobber and Ramon's wife lies on the ground and Ramon lobs the knives so they curve up. He's not even like aiming on a direct trajectory. No, absolutely. This is all in the curve and they loop up and come there. She's spinning. She's spinning. She's on a lazy stage. He's just got a packet of picnic plastic utensils. I think Ramon still has full knives. You think people wouldn't be impressed with

Just chucking up a fistful of plastic But the fact is somehow he gets them to go Yeah, well now I'm starting to suspect that it's there's some sort of slight of hand some sort of trickery going on Well, I'm being played for a rude. Maybe maybe he's he's just throwing them high enough He's lobbing them real high so that they reach terminal velocity. Oh wow. Yeah. Which I think is probably still quite low. Well, if they're just flailing in the air, but if you kind of give them a bit of a, like, you know, if you get a certain portion going in the right way, yeah. No, that's true.

All right. You know how like people can breaking up the laminar flow of the absolutely laminar flow, being broken up. Less at ease, more steadies. That's right. Okay. Okay. Right. First sketch. Okay. Paul, crocodile, Dundee, nursing home sketch. Right. This is this is while you're running this down as good as time as any is to mention my new crocodile, D joke, which I've already told to you, which is the one where and apologies if I'm just remembering this and this already is in crocodile dundee, but I think it's an original one where the American lady complains that crocodile dundee doesn't have any toiletries and then crocodile dundee, Mick, as they call

him in the outback. Leeds are outside and says, what are you talking about? We've got heaps of toilet trees and he points and he points of the Traces that's a toilet tree toilet tree that's a toilet tree toilet tree yeah toilet tree That tree we use that it's gonna be in the show. They're gonna love that we got to get to the pole hogum before he fades away. Yeah I think I've called it crocodile crocodile dundee down under his luck It's really good. Yeah, how do you do you think hogs will just fade away like Yoda? You know when they get to a certain age they know I don't die. They just fade away. Yeah, I think Aussie comedy legends they just kind of stand half translucent

Watching watching the other sort of promising sons of Up and up and comedy, you know, the promising young Trevor Marmelides. Yeah, I reckon when Ronnie Chang is kind of performing comedy on the side of the stage, there's a Burton Newton. Who is a dead, but he is getting more translucent? The King. The King. Which the King? The King. Not the, you know, not of England. Graham. Graham. King. And, uh, T. Jack. And T. Jack. Oh, well, rip your flamin' arms off. Yeah. Rip your bloody arms off. Rip your fucking arms off. I've only seen it in sort of looking back clips.

I think that in a way, I think that only, that's the only way it existed. All right, new sketch. Totally fictional. Yeah. Retrospective of Australian comedy. Okay. We make up a series of characters. Okay.

I like this one. Darren the Elf. Okay. He's like the the Elf. Okay, yeah. He's like the Australian Elf, right? Sanders, Australian Elf and he, you know, he was a lovable character in the 70s and he, looking back on him, he was very homophobic, but at the time everyone loved him and it was actually quite progressive because you didn't see those kinds of characters portrayed.

Yeah, and actually it turns out that he was one of the pygmy people from sort of a, like, a sort of far away island kind of thing. Right. Yeah, so that's why he was so small. I see. And sort of like, I guess an elf, when somebody's an elf, they're not just, I guess you don't expect them to be small enough, doesn't this have to be small? I expect an elf to be small.

Well, a Santa's elf, yeah, but not like a Tolkien elf. No, that's true. Different types of elf. Yeah, they're kind of more slender. But then again, that suggests that maybe Santa is just really big. Wow. Yeah. That's a new twist on it.

Have we ever seen Santa standing next to just a human for scale? Yeah. I don't think we have. Only instead of dumb comedies. There's no sort of dark, gritty, proper Santa movies, realistic Santa movies where it turns out that the elves that work for him are sort of enslaved to Tolkien elves. The elves that work for him are themselves giants. Said himself is a colossus and that's how he's able to get around the world so quickly because it because he just he could just basically move the rotates the rotates the it's like a

plane to him yes he spins it around yeah he has a with his giant and his and his huge mammals it almost seems pointless for him to have all those reindeer. It is. He doesn't really stand on your roof. He just hovers above. And he has one of those, and he's got surgical training. And he has one of those little pipes that they send up the vein in your leg to put in a stent. But that's how he gets down. The chimney. That's how he gets down the chimney to drop off the presence. No, he is. One of those things like they do when you see a montage of like people working

in labs in a news report about viruses, right, where they suck up a whole, they've got like a pipette, there's like 10 pipettes or link together and they suck all those stuff on it. Well, see, that's good. That's efficiency. So he squeezes it, lets the presents out. And then he sucks up the cookies and milk. Yep.

Like that. And then he squirts it into his mouth and that's I guess that would explain why he would be able to eat so many cookies and milk Throughout the journey is because he's very large. He's a giant. He's a huge. This is all making a lot of this. Yes Sorry, he's a colossus. Yeah. Oh Sorry, I was when I said he's a giant. I was in my persona as an elf. Okay, you were a giant elf. Yes Yeah, who would not it's him not a giant elf. Okay, you were a giant elf. Yes. Not a giant elf. No, no, no, that would be a colossus.

That would be a colossus, you would be Santa. Of course, if there were giant elves, then that suggests that there might be a giant Santa. Indeed. Well, I mean, you know, that's another question for another time. Of course, yeah, let's not go too deep into that. Has anyone ever seen Santa and God in the same room at once?

Because, I mean, if I was a cynical man, I might say, I can believe one supernatural entity who loves us all and punishes the wicked, right? But two, who both happened to have white beards? Yeah, that seems strange. It seems strange that there'd be that many people in that kind of industry who would make it to that age. Indeed, indeed.

Like, you know, even if they were originally, I would say that by now there would have been some kind of a merger, like they would have consolidated that market and God would have bought out Santa a lot of time. Or God would have killed Santa. It would have killed him. Try to flood his room or drop frogs in his room. Yeah, I don't think I don't think this

town's big enough for the both of them. Not two of you guys like that. Yeah, I mean, if it hasn't happened, somehow there's been some kind of either mediation or it's about to happen. Well, either that or there's some kind of anti-competitive behavior going on, they're colluding in some way. They kind of have a duopoly, judging people. Exactly. And I think the A triple C should look into it because it strikes me that we're not getting the best value for the consumer. I mean, obviously free presence represents quite good value.

Yeah, that is really good. Maybe they're just keeping the devil out of the market. Was he sort of the, is he sort of the, is he sort of the Aldi in this sort of Woolworths and Coles kind of do awfully here. And he's trying to do some judging and they're really painting, you know, painting him with a bad brush.

Sort of getting a lot of news stories in there where the devil is caused, you know, you find a lot of mold on that some of the devil's things. Is that a thing that happens in Aldi? I started seeing, maybe last year, there was a lot of stories where like new stories where it's like, oh, somebody found mold on something and from Aldi. No, it's not mold, it's mold.

Of course. It's a very good. Special, it's not mold. It's mold. It's of course. It's very good. Special German mold German mold. Oh, brand mold. Mould actually tastes tastes the same as regularly. But it's not a Australian. It's not growing in Australia. Yeah. And that doesn't bother me. No, it's it's but it's better better value mold. Yeah, in the end that's We're delivering better value mold for Australian families and this you know having more different places You can get mold from ultimately. It's gonna lead to a healthier market

So is there something should I be writing down anything to do with Santa and I think yeah, okay So what is it? What do we think is best? Now, look, I'm aware that South Park, obviously, their first short was Jesus versus Santa, right? So I think the idea that they are in competition is maybe not the one that we want, but I think the idea that they're both the same person, God and Santa. Could be something.

Or in cohorts. Or they're in cohorts, yeah. Yeah, maybe could be could be something or in kuhuts or they're in that they're in kuhuts. Yeah, yeah, maybe kuhuts I mean, but but should we include the fact that he's a that he's a colossus? That feels like a separate idea like I think we're over complicating things a little bit by like people can believe God and Santa are you know in kuhuts. But I think that we're also saying, oh, and by the way, Santa is a colossus who can turn the earth with one mighty hand. And he has a 10-tipped pipette.

Yeah, with a 10-tipped pipette. 10-tipped pipette. 10-tipped pipette. 10-tipped pipette. 10-tipped pipette. I do love saying that's a great band name, but and that is a great band name. 10 tipped pipette.

Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. I mean, what's the most amount of liquid you've ever had in a pipette? Well, you know, what is the biggest pipette you could have? How big could be? Would it just become a pip at that point?

It would no longer be a pipette or just be a full-salt pip? A pip is actually just a pipe. Oh. Yeah, all right, no, a pipette. A pipette, a pipette, a pipette. What's the most water I've ever had in a bloody pipette? Yeah, yeah, another story, another bloody story. Yeah, you're right, you're right.

But that, I mean, I don't blame a bloody joke for that one. Is there a, I mean, it feels like there's something, there's feels like there's sketches or stories in a chemistry teacher. You don't get a lot of chemistry teacher stuff. Well, I mean, you know, obviously breaking bad is really blow and open the chemistry teacher, parody, joke, sketchy, market thing, right? Really? Well, I mean, I imagine that a bit more, okay.

But that's because you don't go to all the hilarious breaking bad parody shows that seem to be on at every comedy festival. Oh, yeah, that's true. I think though, if we were to do something about a chemistry teacher, I mean, I think I think a twist on the idea of the breaking bad situation could be good, right? Like, okay, breaking bad. He's a man of chemistry teacher. Yeah. Who sees the lucrative drug market and sees how it offers him an opportunity to change his life. Yeah.

Right. And he's been yearning for. Yeah. What is another thing that he could see? You see? Well, okay. This is the things that have entered my mind. There's a drug, it's a drug guy who sees the benefits of getting a consistent chemistry

job. I already love that. He just likes the stability. I think that's so good. And then you see him around the staff room, right? And he's struggling to adjust and obviously he's shocked by a lot of the stuff. I think some of the like petty office politics of the reality of being a teacher,

I think he would find quite confronting, and he might even be shocked to find what he's capable of behind the scenes of the staff room. I think you could almost get, look, I know this is very, this is between you and me really, but you could get Xavier, my Khaledis to play a guy like that. Oh, absolutely. Yeah, because I mean, like he's a big friendly guy, but not, he's not that big, but like I don't mean that. No, that friendly.

No, he's really, he's pretty friendly. But I reckon he could exude more, you know, a lot of darkness. Yeah, yeah, and so. Exude. Yeah, and so I guess you've just we just catch him. We just catch him after he's finished his dip ed. Well, he's just start or is he pretend he fakes he fakes a dip ed to get to get in I guess. I think that's what it is. So I think he's doing some sort of a drug deal. Yeah. Near a school, and glancing through the window of the chemistry lab.

He sees a chemistry teacher. And then he sees the chemistry teacher go and get in his cheap car or whatever it is, get his small paycheck for some reason they're paying these chemistry teachers in cash. In cash, on location. On location. And a good teaching today.

I mean, that, on location. On location. And a good teaching today. I mean, that's almost a sketch in itself. Like a school that is run like it's a drug. Yeah, just a deal. Like, you know, where the teachers get paid, sort of under the table. But just like that, just that handshake pay. Yeah.

Because like, we get those kind of payments just doing stand-up. And some of the people come up and they just put, as if we have to hide that there's a lot of money exchanging hands. So here you go, and you go, thank you so much. And you kind of secretly put in your pocket. Well, I think comedy is that money is so rare in stand-up comedy in Melbourne

that I think we try and height, when it does exist, we try and height it to, sort of I guess, protect the sensibilities of those who... Who don't see any? Don't see any at all. Little do they know though, if they just hang in there. Oh yeah. They just hang in there, there'll be a couple of... There are $50 mz sets to be had.

To be had every once every three months. So quit your job as a drug dealer and become this. But I think that's really good. I think drug dealer who turn his skills as a drug dealer, such as they are possibly, you know, what are they? Being sort of a cold-hearted murderer. Yeah, standing over people. Standing over people.

But also just, you know, practical skills of just getting things done, cutting things. Like, I mean, cutting drugs. Sure. Yeah, yeah. And the kids learn a lot. Yeah, like he becomes the best chemistry teacher. Yeah, just even having, like, you have to do a lot of research if you want to make drugs in your own bathtub.

Yeah. Because you got to find recipes, you got to know how to set up a VPN. You're one man business, trying to find recipes, you got to know how to set up a VPN. You're one man business, trying to avoid detection as well. Well and very often you're having to motivate delinquent teens to do what you want them to do. Oh yeah, absolutely. Which is sell drugs. But you can use that to get them to get high grades.

I think it gets the point where his kids are getting such high grades that it's suspicious and he has to find ways in which to hide the high grades. He's got a longer high grades. Yeah. Yeah, so he somehow like... He funnels them through a kindergarten class. No, like he changes the average. He used some weird bell

Bell anyway bell curve Marking system. Yeah, I the fact that his students are doing really really well But then when they do the standardized test and they can really excel and he's not responsible Yeah, and they sit down in order to or something. Yeah, and he murders him That would be and dissolves his body in a bathtub. Yeah. And he murders him. That would be... And does that also his body in a bathtub? Yeah. And then there you go. Well I mean it'd be nice if he was a nicer guy than... Well I think he is a nice guy. He is a nice guy. Yeah. I guess so. Just like Waller White is a sort of maybe a fundamentally good guy who does bad things.

Maybe a fundamentally bad guy who does some good things. We don't know with this guy, aren't we? Is it fundamentally bad guy who does some good things. We don't know with this guy, I don't know. Is it fundamentally bad guy who does it? Do you think we, like, that's a TV series we could submit? I think that's a whole TV series though. That's a whole TV, well, let's like at least one season. I think that's a whole, oh, it's not a whole series. I mean, there's clearly a lot in this.

This is, you've got a character. There is a lot in this. You've got a scenario. Oh, thank you too much. How many times do you come up with an idea that is this complete? Look, give him a girlfriend. Oh wow. He finds her a job. There is a series in this. She becomes janitor. I don't think we can just give people a girlfriend. I think it's up to the girlfriend if she wants to be. Oh, she's definitely got agency. She's got agency is what I'm saying.

I realized that in the last episode, we were talking about the agency of the woman in the shoe buying sketch. And I said, well, she's got agency, she's buying shoes. And I just like to apologize for that. And a host of other things I've said and done on this podcast, you've got to understand the pressure to keep talking.

And you know what, and the walls of the salt. And I do, I do like, I'm very subtly, but those parts of me that wants to entrap you into situations. Oh, as you do, Alistair, and I walk right into those traps. It's because of the beautifulness of the outrage culture these days, is that you can, you can sort of gently rib your friends by getting them, by getting their lives ruined.

Yeah. Let me try having a look. Having them, say so. Absolutely destroyed by an online hate mob. Yeah. Yeah. But maybe the online hate mob is acting out of love.

Online love. Online, that's what they should call them online What love mom. Oh, yeah, okay. Yeah If you're a broken a peach by just just tearing it apart I've done that with apricots, but I feel like that's low hanging fruit Well literally and figured it figured it out. What I don't know if you know about this, but there's peaches. So I think maybe once we spoke about, I told you about drip stone peaches. Yeah, we did. Because they're fantastic peaches.

Yeah. Well, what a peach. Right. Well, they themselves were a slipstone peach, which is, but any kind of peaches that you can break apart like that and the pip just doesn't clean. It isn't connected to the. There's a slipstone peach.

Oh, I see, I have the peaches in heaven, I like that. I'm thinking. Well, there's just breeds of peaches that are just like that. What about this, right? It's like a twilight zone kind of thing, right? Where a guy goes to heaven, right? And it's absolute paradise.

He dies, he goes to heaven. The absolute paradise. Everything is perfect. He's so happy is he is in constant bliss. Somebody gives him a peach. And he goes to open it, right? And the pit is still all connected and tears apart and juice goes everywhere. And he realizes that this isn't heaven, this is hell.

And then he tries to slit his wrists so he can go to the next level of hell. Which is it because anything else would be better. I feel like dying hell though. Do you think that there's like a hell heaven and a hell hell? Oh, that would be great. Yeah. Okay, so I reckon those are two actually two sketches, right? Like the...

Well, that is definitely a complete sketch. He realizes he's in hell. Yeah. Ah! But I think he, like, I'm not sure if that, like how he realizes, or, no, I know how he realizes it, because of the shitty peach, right? Maybe a flowery apple is like a more relatable thing.

It might have to be a flowery apple is like a more relatable thing. It might have to be a flowery apple. But that flowery apple, whether or not he's actually in hell, we don't know, but the flowery apple is enough to make him start to question paradise. And that actually drives him insane and he creates his own hell within this paradise. Yeah, that's good. Yeah, Cal change open peach to Flowing Apple But then we might we might need to workshop this because we don't want people to think that the Apple is somehow a reference to you know The Garden of Eden or something like that. We'll. We'll just say, yeah, forget those people. Fuck that.

Okay. Yeah, yeah. No, look, I think, and then he just, he turns it into his own hell, but with through his own neurosis. Yeah, indeed. Yeah, no, that's good. And then he goes to... Hellven.

Hellven. But then he does each level. You go to, like, if you go to hellven and then you kill yourself in hell, then do you go to maybe hell of an hell of an, hell of an, hell of an, hell of an, I think maybe, do you think that like within hell, within heaven there might be like even like a little hell, like a little sort of like, like a penalty box. Yeah, like a penalty box, like how, you know, the police have got cells at the station, but that's not prison, right? It's just a little holding cell, kind of thing.

It's a little holding hell, where you can be put overnight just to sober up or something. See, that's good, yeah, and it's just, it's just a room, a glass room filled with fire. Yeah. Well, maybe this is like a little fire in the corner or something. I guess there's gotta be some kind of justice system up there.

Yeah. Like, what if you're getting bliss and then somebody else is getting bliss, but you just feel like they're getting a bit more bliss out of something than you are? Well, maybe the punishment up there is just to have a little bit less bliss. Yeah, but yeah. Well now you can have infinity minus one delicious grapes. Yeah, but then that would only that would only make your make your dissatisfaction faster even more.

That's true. I think this is what happened to Lucifer. Really? Is this how he became the devil? I think he, I think, yeah, I think he was, he had a festering in him. You know, and, and the question of where that came from where did that original dissatisfaction come from it's almost like the question about the big bang What did the universe begin? Yeah, and also like like it's probably the first flaw in God, right?

Yeah, because you go wait a second I thought this was supposed to be your perfect space Do you think that maybe when God was making Lucifer? He was looking at his phone Like he just wasn't quite, I think that's probably what he probably wasn't quite. If you have all knowledge, you're probably scrolling through it in your head, at least occasionally.

You think he was scrolling through his mental Wikipedia. Like as somebody who knows everything occasionally, you'll rise a roll back in your head and you'll just check out the contents of your own brain Well, what's going to autopilot and you'll make a flawed angel? Like what would be the point of having all knowledge if you never look at it? So what he so he never thinks about it. He's never distracted. He's never yeah No, he's distracted. He's distracting more than anyone. Yeah, everything reminds him of something. He's probably

infinitely distract he's probably omnidistracted. Yeah, say God. That's why I reckon he I mean he's everywhere all at once that is gonna be that's Focus yeah, God God, but I want you here now God, okay? Be with me in the moment. Let me pay attention now God okay be with me be with me in the moment let me pay attention Okay, I'm paying attention. You know you're everywhere again, aren't you you're everywhere? Oh you got me Santa sketch the god is everywhere that god is distracted or god was making Lucifer and he was Distracted but look at I'm it's hard to illustrate. I don't know, it doesn't matter. Should have put it down as a halfie. No.

No? No, I got no time for halfies. You got no bloody time. You know, at my age, half sketch is nothing. That's true. I don't. I was looking at my, I have all these notebooks that are just piled up from the years of trying to do,

you know, right down the field. I got to stack them somewhere as well. I got to give them to you. I found some. Of mine? Yeah. Wow. Just pages, to you. I found some. Of mine. Yeah. Wow. Just pages, just loose sheets of just stuff that you've written.

I'm thinking about burning it. Oh, okay. Like it's starting again. You know, like I would just pull all the pages that have ideas and go, I don't need old ideas. I don't want to rely on all ideas ever again. Yeah. I think even just having them there as a possibility

is burdening me. It's just a heaviness. Yeah, but at the same time, I think even just having them there as a possibility is burdening me. It's just a heaviness Yeah, but at the same time I think Kafka did that with his papers when he died and people Like it's traumatic look at society to know that they're missing out on what like like that inside and the potential genius Well, I don't want you to miss out on this insight right here Andy. I'm no Kafka I'm no Kafka. I'm, you know, the world, the world will be fine. Yeah. Without my, my, imagine a world where everyone is an ninja. Is that a thing that you found right down?

I've written that down somewhere. Yeah. That'd be quite interesting because everybody would be sneaking up on everybody else. Yeah, so you don't see anybody. Then occasionally someone just goes, what was that? But then you're also an Indian. But then you're doing that as well, aren't you? So you're running across somebody else's periphery.

Yeah. Well, not if you're good. Right. We didn't say everyone's a good ninja. No, no, that's true. Yeah, so there would be like old ninjas and sort of car. And how did ninjas mate? How do they reproduce? Spores, do they leave spores somewhere? I think it must be spores. Yeah, I think, I think if you get become quite skilled, you could probably, in process, someone with

that make it make it make it sort of make a sort of spore cloud, which is just a sperm cloud. Yeah, right. You know, or by moving around relatively fast, it's probably just leave a trail. When it is disappear in a puff of smoke, is that this spores? That could be there's this. Right. Okay, because I've tripped a trottern on those puff ball fungi things and they release that cloud of spores.

That's what it is. And so then they hope that another ninja will come through. It just. Blender into that. Which would be an awful time to come through, especially as somebody's trying to leave, because that means that there's some danger it's trying to escape from.

But maybe the danger. Maybe you are now, you're pregnant. Maybe the danger it's trying to escape from is parenthood. Yeah. Indeed. Kafka, his name, it sounds a lot like a caffeine-based drink. Yeah, it makes me think of Bobka. Bobka?

Yeah, which is a Jewish-based dessert. Bobka. Bobka. Yeah, and I've eaten one and is one of the greatest things that you could eat. Really? Now, whether or not any Bobkas have any writing that you would consider Bobca-esque? Bobcats. Well, it's a kind of like, it's a metaphorical dystopia.

Yeah. In a bread roll or whatever Bobca is. I guess when you're eating a Bobca, you kind of like, oh, why am I here again? You're very much like the guy in the trial. You find yourself. If I, you wake up, you're confronted with a, that you woke up in the morning, there's a bobca there. There's no explanation, but the rest of your life is spent trying to explain the origins of this Bobcat. Or one day you wake up and you are a Bobcat. Oh. Right. And then your family comes in and they're terrified of you.

Obviously. Because you're just a sort of a bready pastry, laced with chocolate, sitting on your bed where you want to sleep in. I don't think we can do another Kafka-based sketch. We already had Metaphorphysis. Yeah. That's true. I don't think we can do another Kafka-based sketch. We already had Metaphorfussus. Yeah, that's true. I think we draw a line under Kafka. What was that one?

Was that where somebody wakes up and they're a Metaphor? What are, yeah. No, no, no, no. It was where somebody, it was where Kafka's publisher, is trying to convince him that he should call the book Metaphorfussus. Metaphorfuss Metaphoruses. What about that idea though of burning all your works after you're dead, right?

Like obviously with Kafka it's a tragedy because he was a genius. But like what if you weren't a terrible writer? And maybe people were trying to convince you to burn all your works, or people were just assuming like you're on your deathbed and someone's like, well, okay, and I'll burn all the works. Shema, like he's giving things. He's starting to burn them now. You're not even that dead yet.

Like what about, so he's got like his loved ones around and as he's dying. And he goes, and you, you, Kevin, you can have my radio. And brother. Brother, I want you, you can have my Chevrolet like that. And this is a rough deal. You can want to go get a radio.

I want to go get a Chevrolet. And Luke, Luke. And this is a rough deal. You can one guy gets a radio, one guy gets a Chevrolet. And Luke, Luke, can I burn all your manuscripts? Luke, there is a box in the attic. It contains all my manuscripts. Yeah, I'll burn them. I can burn them for you. Don't worry.

You go, no, not burn them. I want you to get them published. Are you sure you don't want them burned? Yeah, no, that's Kafka had all his burned. He goes, no, fuck Kafka. No, I think the world would prefer if we burned them. Look, I've already started burning some of them. It was cold last night.

I assumed you would want them burned. It's been, it's cold right now. And then he opens up his jacket and there's a fire on in there. That means, like, Is it burning manuscript? Yeah, burning manuscript. One of my favorite jokes that I'm doing right now.

Oh, yeah. Right. Look, I think there's something in there. I don't know, wait, yeah. But my favorite joke right now that I'm doing, it's not even the joke. This is just on my way to doing a joke. I go, so I was having a shower

recently, really recently. Like, I'm showering right now. And that's all, that's speaking pretty good. That's all, like, that's's all I wanna do now in my comedy. Is this have that much fun? I have so much fun within those three seconds while I say that, that I don't know how to ever. Anyway, is there anything in the Kafka manuscript burning thing? Do you think that's a sketch or do you think it's a stuff? I think there's something I wonder if we've got to exactly what the comic twist on that is.

There needs to be more comic twist, don't you think? Well, possibly. Okay, so what about instead of giving away a radio, he's like, you can have all my pool noodles. I mean, the idea of an, like, living inside anything to do with Kafka, the idea of a totally unequal distribution of assets as somebody's on their deathbed is quite funny. But then yeah, the people who are acting who are receiving them have to be such great actors to play

it really well. It's pretty a lot of pressure on the actors. Yeah, it worked well. And I would hate to do that. Yeah, that's not, but like, okay. Oh my god, all the pool noodles. Oh. Jeremy's getting all the pool noodles. Yeah, and then he goes, and Samuel, you can have my set of floaties. Yeah, that's, it's just two floaties, my, my, my, it's getting all, the pool noodles.

Okay, whatever. Maybe it is funny, or if this is still Kafka. This is a joke. Okay, no, but what if we put Kafka in a Kafka-esque situation where he's forever giving away all his belongings? What if, like as well as Kafka wanting to, what if it's this, this idea of, okay, what, we, we, because,

because also there is an element of vanity in this idea of burning all your stuff after you die, right? Like, like, I'll come on. Like, how seriously can you possibly, like, like, burning really, like really, like you're protecting your legacy and that's the way we're burning magic. It's very dramatic, isn't it? It's very dramatic.

You know, can't I just like, and I shred them or put them in the bin or something like that? You know, like, like, ugh. LAUGHTER You just have to like, such a scene of everything. Calfgate, but okay, maybe Calfgate, you know, like, like, is there that after he does other things,

he wants things burned or he wants other things that he's leaving behind burned to try and preserve? Or, you know, maybe, okay, Kafka, what it was is he wanted, he didn't want that to dilute his body of work, right? The stuff that he didn't think was good enough because he was a perfectionist. Well, like, okay, he makes breakfast,

he doesn't, and he gets to someone to burn all the eggs that he didn't eat. What about, what about, what about he, is this is, it's a story of Kafka trying to get rid of all the, all the history of any bad stuff that he would have ridden. That wasn't the perfect draft. So then he would have had people who read some of those drafts when he was getting advice. So he has to go off and sort of finish all these people off. Get them burnt. Get them killed. Yeah.

He has to be no trace of any teachers that taught him somehow he has to appear. He was completely, you know, he basically just appeared in this world created, so he, I guess there's killing more people. There's more killing. Right, right, right, right. And I guess I raised the memory of his existence in some way, of anyone who ever met him. Other than his name and his amazing work.

And that weird photo of him where he's got a big monobrow or something. I'm still not happy with this idea. No, no, it's okay. I honestly, I'll stay. When I die, I would like you to be killed. So that I don't... And everybody who's listening to this podcast to be burned. That would be great.

If this is our sort of the ring episode, where now we have to go... Then reach into people's heads from this podcast you come out of the podcast and look okay now I'm reaching out I'm reaching out of the podcast into your ears and I'm just must playing with your brain there let me just get that let me just okay just scratch, just scratch it. Fuck it, all right. There you go, you're no longer knowledgeable and the thing that we were talking about just then.

Well, I think maybe you, you want to reach out and you want to just totally scramble their brain, so all their brains pour out their nose, right? And then they fall down dead. Oh, that'd be good. And... Give the opportunity everybody to just start again. By falling down dead.

At least, like, okay, let's say it's just one part of their brain. Right, right. Yeah, that liquefies and falls out of their nose. This is just, what about, okay, so it's Kafka, he's in his deathbed. No, crap. Shut up, okay, shut up. He's in his deathbed. Shut up. Okay, shut up. Yeah, it's in his deathbed, right? Somebody just keeps reading things out to him that are possessions of his and then he's forced to decide who gets it. Yep. And then it just doesn't end for him. He doesn't find out why. It's just a Kafka situation.

Well, I mean, if it is actually... What about the Paul Noodle's Kafka? The Paul Noodles. I don't care. Everything can go to Susie. Like the handing over. Susie doesn't have the room for everything. You're gonna have to divide it up more equally.

And so then, it could be, he could be trying that tactic where he's just trying to give everything to Susie. But then at some point, like so, so he goes, the pool noodles and he goes Susie. And he goes, so what about your pet owl? He goes Susie like that. And then it's like, your Corvette, Susie like that. And then not long Susie comes and she's like,

Kafka, you gotta stop giving me all of all the things I have no place for it I'm even even the stuff that I don't want to keep I have to keep paying the goddamn guy the tip to throw it away They don't you can't throw things away for nothing. Why you do this to me is nightmare attractive nightmare Please Kafka ask nightmare please give something to someone And then and then the guy goes, he seeks a ravioli fresh made by your mama that she just brought over and he goes, ah, Susie, yes, sure you don't want to be the ravioli. She goes, Kafka, what are you telling you? Like that. He's trying to get more and more Italian food.

Like that, and then, and then it goes, okay. Oh, give it to Ben Johnson for that. Well, thank you, Kafka. Okay, now, what about this lock of your daughter here? Suzie! Suzie! Kafka, you're killing me! I'm starting...

And while I'm not... Like, I'm enjoying the sound of stand, but I'm starting and while I'm enjoying this sound, but I'm not convinced that we've yet quite found the sketch, I am starting to see Kafka as a more and more funny character. And I do want to see Kafka in more situations. As soon as you mentioned the fact that Kafka has a Corvette, I'm intrigued. Because I didn't picture Kafka as a Corvette kind of guy. I'm intrigued. Yeah. Right?

Like as I didn't picture Kafka as a Corvette kind of guy. Yeah. But now that I see him as this kind of almost like a playboy, it's like a, you know, swinging. Like a kind of dark swinging guy. Yeah. Yeah. And I think it's kind of a buddy film.

Like it's a buddy sort of TV show. It's Kafka and Lovecraft. Both kind of introverts who are forced to hang out together. Okay, now I genuinely love this idea, right? Kafka and Lovecraft as a crime fighting duo. Sure. Just the name Kafka and Lovecraft. Even if it's just like a mystery solving duo.

Yeah, mystery solving duo, right. Lovecraft, he's always convinced that the crime, the murder was committed by an eldritch demon from beyond the, you know, the, the, the, the vials of human knowledge. Whereas Kafka thinks that, that, that, the horror that it happened really just came from the small-minded bureaucracy that exists in all of us. That's right. Yeah, and it's gonna, like, lovecraft has this sort of like reverse Scooby-Doo situation whenever they find somebody who's responsible for it. He keeps trying to pull off their face because he's like, surely there's a beast beneath this who's responsible for this evil. It's almost like, it's kind of exfiles, right?

Because Moldera is always the guy who thought their aliens. And Scully was the person who was sort of rational and scientific and said that it wasn't possible. It's Kafka and Lovecraft. Kafka is just the banality of evil, right? Yeah. Lovecraft is the, oh no, evil. It's evil with tentacles. It's the evil of evil. It's evil with tentacles.

It's the evil of evil. It's the evil of evil. Who knows what evil lies in the heart of really evil beasts who are totally made out of evil and are also extremely unpleasant? That's a genuine HP lovecraft quote. You believe it? I would have heard it.

Yeah, I know. Alistair, don I know. I'll stay don't worry. I can tell when you're in a different place. And it's when you're writing down the sketches that we've just come up with. I'm really, I'm really happy about Kafka on Lovecraft. I want to say that is a recurring sketch. It'll it'll be the next turner in Hoot. That that a Kafka on Lovecraft is that, that to me is like graphic novel. That says graphic novel.

Yeah. Do you think Alan, we can get Alan Moore on board? Alan Moore. I reckon he'd love it. Call him, let's call him. P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P I was laughing a little more, just got my voice in my mouth, probably conducting a summer doing ceremony in my underground dungeon. Hi Alan, this is just Alan Sternandy. We just came up with a great idea for a possible graphic novel.

We know I think you're making, you're writing grim wars and pornography now So I don't know if you're still doing this kind of like sort of story crossover type thing But this is kind of where we have the authors in the book as the characters So I don't know if you've done that. I know you've kind of put stuff from from anyway, not stories people in stories But I don't know if you put the writers in there. So, anyway, if you're interested, give us a call, or send us an email where you can find us at TuinTank on Twitter. I'm at AlistairTV. Yeah, and we're also thinktankatstupidold.com.au.

We've never given out our email address. Oh, yeah. I don't even know how to check that email no i got a hope that we haven't been get thousands of emails of important job opportunities and email address that's that's likely people often who want to give you job opportunities give up after one try people who want to give you job or job opportunities very often find an email address that is not advertised anywhere and you only use to log into your Twitter account

and email that once, and then give up. Especially people who are desperate to give you a job opportunity. Anyway, we're really open to job opportunities, especially fun ones that involve big money and great success. What about a sketch that revolves around really important messages, like possibly a world changing, like global war kind of significance, being sent either on Facebook or being left as voicemail messages.

That's fine. You know, like, and you know, they wind up in your filtered messages folder on Facebook because you're not actually Facebook friends with Putin. This sounds like a YouTube channel to me. Yeah. Yeah. It's an important message through history. Yeah, right. It's through through the wrong medium. It's the filter. It's the filtered messages in boxes of history's greatest minds. So it's Genghis Khan. Genghis Khan. What's in his filtered messages? What's in his filter? Air Genghis.

Oh, the Emperor allowed say. I just wanted to say, probably stop murdering and raping and all that. You know what's in Genghis Khan's filtered messages? What is it? It's a lot of messages from women who have had his children and who are just trying to get in touch. I've got something quite important to tell you. That's really good.

That's his inbox is just full of it, of his unchecked inbox, because he's just always on the road and he doesn't have a look. I'm just gonna write that down. Gengus. I mean, Gengus, his phone would never be charged up. He's always out on the Mongolian step with his horsemen, tribes. Do you think you can find a PowerPoint? I don't think so. People keep trying to convince him to get one of those little plug-in battery booster boxes

things. But then you've got to find somewhere to charge that up. And he's, you know, that's not Genghis. You can't tie him down. He can tie you down and behead you, but you can't tie him down. That's Genghis. Well, I guess I should take us through today's sketches. And we, this is a bumper crop today.

It's a bumper crop. It's a goddamn bumper crop. It's almost, it's almost as big as the day that we had Nick Mason in here. I think where we might have hit 10. It's a real Mason load. It's a real Mason load. We go. Is a Mason load bigger or smaller than a butt load?

Well, it must be bigger, right? Because Mason himself has a butt. That's true. So that would be container butt load. And therefore, the Mason, which the butt load is a subset of the Mason load. That's true. Well, what a lot of people don't know

is that Mason, his butt, is a giant. And so Mason himself is a colossus. Okay, so up front, we got crocodile dundee down under his lock. Yeah, this is old, he's in a nursing home. He's old. Trying to escape. Well, yeah, or a little bit of life is on his own.

It's his big hairy friend. You know, his dumb kind of friend comes in who needs to get him to help him out with something. What was his name? Big hairy dumb friend. I'm not sure. What was he called? Donk.

Maybe donk. I think donk is running a crock farm, a farming place where they farm crock meat. And it's being taken over by some huge conglomerate that is probably the chanéis. They're going to build a uranium mine. Maybe. Maybe they're just going to export all the meat to China. Right? Right. I guess it sounds like it's gonna make a lot of...

It sounds like a really good business thing in the sort of economy that you look like. Get out of that. He's like, it's a great opportunity for me to get out of here. You go to site me before I make a good decision. World workshop. And then the second sketch retrospective on Aussie comedy, I think that that's, we didn't go too deep into that, but I think that's a great idea where we're just looking at

different comedy shows throughout Australian history and we create characters. That's right. It's because I wrote it down, but you would just come up with some characters with somebody the elf. Yeah. And then we went on our elf friend. This is this is this is called the shows called stop watching. This is comedy. Yeah. It's the retrospective. Okay, great. Stop watching this is comedy. Yeah. Um, this is Aussie comedy. This is Aussie comedy. And uh, and then obviously there'll be there'd be interviews with different comedians reminiscing about what it was like to grow up watching these shows on TV. I think it'd be fun if it's even the talking heads are made up. They're also made up. Yeah.

So there's like, you know, there's, there's, there's, there's blabby McFull face. Oh, wow. Like, oh, I was so influenced by Kanga in the nude munch. Which was obviously a German troop that came over here and pretended to be Australian. But that was of course before Australia knew what Australia was. I had to find a lot of Australian ideas. A lot of stuff I, I was saying that on it.

And I brought a lot of that kind of ideas into my act. Labby McFoolface. Anyway, and then we got next sketch is God and Santa and Cajuts, where they've got to do happily on the city of the judging of people that keep in the devil slash LD out of the market. And when I say cahoots, probably one of the most fun words. Cahoots, yeah. Not linked to owls in any way. Not in any way.

The drug dealer who becomes a chemistry teacher, this is going to be our comedy sitcom. It's going to be bigger than some parody of Ben Hurr. Yeah. Um. Um. Oh, guy. What was the parody of Ben Hurr? I'm sure I've seen one. Yeah. But you know why life of Brian was a bit of a parody of Ben who.

That's right. Yeah. Look, sometimes you got to be happy when you formulate a full joke on the spot on the stick. The fly. I'm happy. Guy goes to heaven, total bliss, but then he eats a flowery apple, and that puts enough doubt in his mind

that he creates his own hell within bliss. Or if that's too complicated, he just realizes that he's actually in hell. Or he realizes in hell, but I think there's a short film in this, Andy. This is what's gonna take us to the top, this short film guy creates his own hell out of heaven. Yeah.

Oh, like, we've filmed it on a cyclorama. We feel almost like we've come up with this idea before. It feels a bit familiar. Well, Andy, I have a better memory than you. And look, you're probably right. When we got, look, I've written down Kafka deathbed list because I really like that one. Right.

And it's fine. Even if it's a scene, it ends up being a scene in Kafka and Lovecraft that he's pretty sure he's on his deathbed. Yeah. Right. But it's, I think Kafka would be quite sort of neurotic and hyper, he's a bit of a hyper connoisseur. I can he constantly thinks that he's thinking it is about to die.

Yeah. And I think that within this show that Kafka does wind up in up in a few Kafka-esque situations. Constantly. Yeah, constantly. To be honest, he doesn't realize how many Kafka-esque situations keep happening to him. Do you think that when Kafka winds up in a Kafka-esque situation, is it Kafka-esque or is it just Kafka? I think you can drop the ask. All right then I will. Good. Thanks. Then we've got Kafka and Lovecraft which is the crime fighting slash sort of mystery solving. So, Dewey duo kind of situation and then we obviously we have Genghis Khan. His email is full of emails from ladies with news. We have Genghis Khan, his email is full of emails from ladies with news. I think we should have a talk.

I need to. Just, ooh, just got something new. Wanna hear, I think you want to hear. I think you're doing great. I hope you're still rampaging. You're still the leader of a sort of huge empire because I could use it and like that in my life right now. And so... Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do- Thank you guys so much for listening to the show.

That's a great way to support the show review it and And write a little something and give it five stars or four stars Well, however many stars you... I mean, to be honest, three stars is better than... Like, that's above average, I'm sure. Three stars is better than just than being ignored.

Yeah. No, that's fine. And, you know... Twitter? Twitter, which we already gave away earlier in the podcast. And we'll find a Facebook. So the eagle-eared listeners. Yeah, at Two in in tank though. That's where you can really find us. I'm stupid old Andy. He's Alistair T.B. and

we We absolutely we we love you but doobedly we love you love you. Love you take care See you later. Oh Andy wait before we go Which one of these sketches do you think that ants would like? Let's see. Well, I mean, you know, lovecraft, I can imagine would hypothesize a kind of like giant ant. That's true. You know, as a sort of a giant evil ant, maybe a queen ant that sort of lays its eggs inside the minds of people who stare too long into the darkness. Yeah, and I guess if there were sort of large creatures, they'd probably be a slime. That thing, these pictures slimes, which are probably made of amulacus, maybe there's

some sugar in that amulacus ants like sugar. Right. And I think possibly at some point in the crocodile dundee sketch crocodile, then D, like he's trapped in this nursing home Right, and while he's in there. He's been training ants. That's really good. Yeah some some of those Especially those northern Queensland ants which are some pretty hefty and decent ants. Yeah, maybe a bull ant Maybe he made a fire and you know, he trains it to bite one of the the guards There are guards if that did happen if there was some ant success happening in there, from the point of

you of an ant, that would be a great, I guess, biting is one of the biggest achievements you can have. Yeah. I'd love it. Yeah, all right. And, oh, and by the way, the podcast is produced by George Matthews. Yeah. And it does all the production work on it.
