Master of the Macabre, Junji Ito
0:00 |
It's more sense. So yeah, there's this boy who's returning to Titan. So when he was eight, he was having a particularly, he was in a foul mood. Can't remember why I was in a foul mood. He asked for something. He didn't get his own way. |
0:15 |
So he ran off like like an axle, you know, an 8 year old would. And then this crossroad trend has been going on for like decades. So some woman came out of the of a corner was all like, oh, please, Sir, tell me your tell me my fortune. |
0:36 |
And then this woman's presents him with a scenario. She's like so I'm married but I'm having an affair and I'm pregnant with a guy's baby and I want to have the baby but the guy I'm having an affair with really fucking doesn't want to have a baby. |
0:58 |
Absolutely not at all. He he he turned angry and he turned nasty when I told him I was pregnant. So my question is should I stay with him because I love him? I don't really care about the baby I just love him. I love him so much I could kill myself. |
1:15 |
And she's saying this to an 8 year old boy. So fucking weird. And then this 8 year old boy goes, Nah, no 1A level NO1A level of you fuck off, pisses off down the street. And then he's wrapped with guilt because he's saying that was a horrible thing for me to say. |
1:34 |
I shouldn't have said that. So he goes back to the crossroads the next day and because the fog was so thick, no one noticed that she just like slashed her throat there. And then they went back and as the fog was cleared the next day, he just saw a dead body. And then he was just wrapped with guilt. Then he ended up moving away and he's come back a good like 10 years later. |
1:52 |
So it was like 1819, gone back into high school. Turns out is like the talk of the tone is, oh, my God. The thing is back. He's such a sexy boy. Oh, are you going to hook up with him? Are you going to hook up with him? So and so. Anyway, one of his friends from kindergarten, Right. We used to play songs together. |
2:09 |
Do you Remember Me? Yeah, I remember. Yeah. Yeah. You're pretty. You're still pretty fit, but he's doing that sort of like high school boy anime protagonist. Whereas like, I just don't want anyone to look at me. I don't care how many women phantom. Me, I'm a. Loner, I'm a mysterious, you know he's doing that anime troll. |
2:28 |
But all the girls do like him anyway. He's kind of seeing this girl he comes back with but not he doesn't really want anything to do with it because he likes her. He just thinks, not ready for a relationship and then he'd like Shunzer and stuff like that. Meanwhile, more women are dying at these crossroads because some people keep telling them bad fortunes and because they're getting a bad fortune. |
2:49 |
They think I'm going to fucking kill myself. This woman's friend, this girl's friend, her best friend, she goes, I'll talk to him about I'll, I'll find out while he's being distant with you. So she does. And then he's all like, just drop it, OK? |
3:04 |
It's nothing. Just leave it alone. Meanwhile, this guy's still, like, with all the crossroad trend coming on and stuff, he's still reminded about those horrors of his past, and he blames himself for a lot of it because he thinks he was the one that caused the first murder. So this girl's best friend goes to the crossroads, says tell me a fortune. |
3:25 |
I want to know why my friend's being distant to his girlfriend. I don't want to know what that's all about. And then this mysterious crossroad guy who's been giving everyone bad fortune says, don't worry about your friend. Focus on yourself. Your what matters. So then she goes, oh, cool. |
3:41 |
All right, So she goes to her best mate, and she goes, look, there's a reason why he doesn't like you anymore. He's just done with you. OK. But the fortune guy, one of the fortune guys, told me that I should focus on myself. And I'm actually in love with him. Fuck you. I'm going to go confess my love to him. |
3:58 |
And then she gets really unhinged about. She starts stalking him and everything. She called him up in the middle of the night where I love you, I love you, return my favours, I love you, You don't love her anymore. You love me, don't you? And then he's like, no, I don't. But the fortune guy said like bullshit, it doesn't matter. You're in love with the idea of the fortune. |
4:14 |
That's all it is. It's just all in your head. Stop it better way. She fucking kills herself, God. So so this. The chapter ends with the guy, the main the main protagonist on a haunt to find this mysterious guy giving all these negative fortunes out. |
4:34 |
And then he gets obsessed with that. He has to find out who this killer is because he's right with Gill and he's like, I need to put a stop to this because somehow it's connected to me. Because the girl that is quote, UN quote, dating is the granddaughter of the woman who ended up killing herself or her dad was the one she was married to or something. |
4:57 |
I don't think it was there was some sort of connection. But yeah, so there's a connection there. And he he realizes this. So he feels like he can be with this woman because he's blaming himself for either a mother or a grandma. I think it's a mother's mother's death or it could have been his sister. I forget. It was a family relation. |
5:13 |
But he feels like, Oh no, it was she finds out the truth about this, that it was me who kind of led to the series of events that got killed because she she tells him it's like, Oh yeah, think it my mum or relative. She was having an affair with my, you know, dad, uncle, whatever it was. |
5:30 |
I think it was uncle actually. So I think it was it would have been a niece. I think auntie maybe, but she was having an affair. She went to the crossroads. She killed herself and the knees racked with even more gill because it's like, oh, this girl. I absolutely I'm in love with the whole thing. The reason why I don't want to be in this tone and I like her. |
5:46 |
So she's one of the reasons why it makes it more interesting to be here. I'm I'm just reminded even more of the fact. So he goes on a hunt to try and find this crossroads killer, I guess, and he gets obsessed over it and he's like skipping school and whatnot. And he's like spending like day after day after day just hunting for him. |
6:04 |
And then she's worried about him and she goes to help him and then they both find him and then fog clears. He disappears. Chapter and chapter 2 interesting. So when this when this woman killed herself? Yeah. From, from him being an 8 year old. |
6:21 |
I mean, yeah, was is it, is it implied that she was the first person to kill herself and then it became sort of fashionable to do that? I think so, yeah. I think she was the first person to kill herself because it was done with a box cutter. Specifically. It's let you throw it with a box cutter and that's how all these other girls are killing themselves. |
6:40 |
Right. Yeah. I'll obviously is it if I, if I see it, you know what I mean, I'll. Yeah, they've got a whole dujito collection and water stones, Wetherspoons, water spoons, Wetherspoons water, water spoons, weather books. |
7:00 |
Wet Books. Wet books, Yeah, they've got a whole collection, a whole collection of wet books. And I was like perusing through because I was like, you know what? I I generally don't own. I've only, like, lent them or read them in passing, so I'd like to own, you know what? And I was like, flicking through it, reading like the blurbs on the back and whatnot or on the front and in which way, which way you want to like, you know, whatever. |
7:25 |
But yeah, I thought this one just felt more while I'm still on my, like, Silent Hill hype. Yeah. It felt very fitting with all the fog and the weird silhouettes and the fog and stuff and listening it, listening to it with the Silent Hill soundtrack, genuinely. |
7:43 |
I, I do think it adds to it. Like I I just put like the songs on where I was listening to her because I was listening to them in town as well to the. Fucking you it would be. Yeah, no, honestly really good and it lines up quite well because it's just because there's no lyrics or anything, so there's nothing distracting you. It's just cool sounds. |
7:58 |
Also, fucking is it Akira Toriyama? I think the composer I can really shred on a guitar. Akira Toriyama. Yeah, maybe. I'll have an absolute look for that. Yeah, I have. I've I've got a few of his of his own books, all his sort of companions, because he was like, like like a story in my. |
8:18 |
Akira Yamaha, Akira Yamaha. I feel like Yamaha is not the right word. Was he Jewish? Was he Akiva Yamahoka? Akira Yamahoka Well, yeah, usually like say it might only do a chapter of one story and then just that that's it. |
8:40 |
Then it'll then it'll write another thing that's based on the first one or that's happening in the same time. Then that becomes a collection. Then done it. So they could be like 12 long or told me is a recurring character. |
8:57 |
Oh yeah, he's done. Like, I don't know. That's why I can say say about 50 fucking chapters, which is either about her or about people that have been affected by her. All right, cool. No, I'm definitely going to start collecting them just as liquor is is a fancy. |
9:13 |
No particular order, I guess because when? I mean, yeah, it don't it don't matter what like you don't have to start for me. Oh yeah, first work and carry on. Because it's from like the 80s, yeah. Yeah, because it's, it's all like. Because I imagine the one that I'm reading next is not from the 80s or from wherever it is, because I feel like it's quite modern. |
9:30 |
There's no phones or anything, but the language that some of the people use is like kind of modern high school speak. Like one of them says, drop the deets. And I don't think Junjanita was the guy to like, make that phrase popular. Oh, new boys in town. |
9:46 |
Oh, spill the deets feels, which which surprised me more because when I bought that shirt, you know, with the eyes yeah on it, I was like, Oh yeah, it must be one of his. But it feels like it's from something quite recent. But then again, quite recent could be like 15 fucking years ago, couldn't it? |
10:03 |
Yeah, because that's all language has existed for. Yeah. It's not like new kids terms the DS. Yeah, yeah, I have. I have a few volumes. I started reading one like a few months ago and then I sort of philosophic because I don't know, because my attention just gets drawn over all over the fucking place. |
10:22 |
And then I hyper focus on that. Don't hyper focus on that. But yeah, I am. I am going to read them because. They're good. He's a great writer and he's a great artist as well. I will say the dialogue in this book isn't the best so far, but the art, yeah, it's really good. |
10:38 |
That's what I'm here for. Yeah. Because every time. Every time they do that thing that I don't like in animes, like the way that it's written, like they over explain everything when they're talking. I was like, it was him. I saw the guy, the cross, the crossroad guy giving bad fortunes. |
10:58 |
It was it was him. I saw the guy, the beautiful tall man who all dressed in black who has PSD is giving fortunes at the crossroads. It was him. I saw him. I'm like, I've already had him described to me like 4 times before this. This weird expositional dialogue is pointless and it makes no sense. |
11:17 |
Maybe it's like I. Think it's a Japanese thing. That's that's what I was going to say. I think it's, I think it's more of a colloquialism that well, like the stylish speaking that Japanese people do. Do you know what I mean? I think I think that's what it is. It's like the over descriptiveness. I'm like, yeah, I know. He's a very tall, beautiful man with PSD ears and he dresses all in black. |
11:35 |
That's the guy. It's him feels like every time someone sees him, that's that's what I get and I'm like, oh, I get it. He's very handsome. He looks kind of other world where he's tall, he's got PSD as he dresses in black. And then he just casually walks past you and says please, Sir, please, Sir, read me my fortune. |
11:55 |
Kill yourself. I should say as the as this woman like thinks she's in love with like the main tech character, the protagonist, her face is generally changing. She's getting more and more gone. She's looking more and more withered. Oh, that's something I didn't point out as well. |
12:13 |
When he's on the hunt for this guy giving bad fortunes, he starts seeing all the women in the fog, the women who have killed themselves until eventually he sees the woman wet from when he was 8 years old. And she didn't say anything to him, but she gives him like, a weary, creepy point, you know, And she points to in the direction of the girl that's actually looking for him, you know, his love interest, so to speak. |
12:38 |
And then that's how they find each other. She's like, oh, did you find me? Awesome Fucking woman pointed out. Some dead woman pointed at you. But yeah, because she. Because he sees the girl who recently killed himself. And then she's all like, zombified and shit. And she's like, love me. Yeah. So. |
12:54 |
Yeah, I, I mean, John, it's really, really fucking good, especially with the uneasy music in the background, but not even necessarily uneasy music because it's like, just, yeah, just ambience. Oh yes. But yeah, there is occasionally a song that comes on on that soundtrack. |
13:09 |
I'm like, Oh yeah, shit, Akira can slap so good on guitar. Yeah, like, just out of nowhere, out of nowhere. They'll be like ambient walking around Silent Hill music. And then just they'll be sick ass guitar. So. All right. Anyway. Got man. |
Freaky Friday
13:42 |
Welcome to another episode of Trapped in the Cube. I am Jack. I'm not. And that's how it has to be. Unless one day we roll roll reverse. I guess. So you could do a Freaky Friday situation. I imagine that'd be boring, especially if we were both, like, not working. |
14:03 |
Yeah, I'd just be in your house and you'd be in my house and we'd be doing similar things. Just because I'll just go on YouTube for a bit and then then I might read something and then I might play something for a bit. I'll have a look at your Dick. I'll be like, well, it's girthier than mine. |
14:22 |
God, that's made it. Oh my God. I. Didn't know he was Jewish. It looks so. Why does this left testicle like it's breathing? You know what? I'll do him a solid. I'll go to the doctor's on his behalf. |
14:39 |
What for a breathing bollock is that? Is that something that's I don't know? Yeah, if it's pulsating. It might just be ready. It might just be a. Breath to pop. Pulsate. Yeah, I guess so. |
14:55 |
Yeah, just pulsate with readiness. I imagine you could dub Darth Vader's breathing over a pulsating bollock and it'll fit really well, especially if you had it on like a very zoomed up close up camera. Put some digital effects over it. You'd look like something from like an 80s sci-fi film and you don't even disguise it. |
15:14 |
It's just called the breathing bollock. You can't. No, you can't call it the breathless bollock because it has breath. Yeah, because it yeah. The bollock has breath. So another name for a horror film? It's the breathless bollock. No, the bollock has breath. |
The breath of life
15:31 |
You could have actually symbolism that as in to say like because of what's in the bollocks actually breathes life into a woman. That's beautiful, isn't it? Is bollock breathed life into my cunt? It's Oh my God. Thank God. |
15:47 |
Imagine if we refer to as ejaculation as breathing. My breath all over me. I'll breathe on me. I'm going to breathe. Breathe in my mouth. Oh my God, did you breathe in there? |
16:05 |
I said not to. Don't breathe in me. I don't want to be bred. Breathe and breathe and breathe me. God, that's hard to say. Maybe breath, surely? Yeah, but I still want to use the word breed. |
16:22 |
Oh my God. So like breeding will still be a thing in it. So breathing and breathing or breathing and breathing. I should start fits there and then try and fit bleeding into that as well. Breathing, bleeding and breathing, bleeding and breathing. |
16:40 |
Try to say that three times fast. Breathing, bleeding and breathing, Bleeding, Breathing and bleeding. Breathing, breathing and bleeding. Breathing, breathing and bleeding. I think I did. It you did it, I sensed the struggle though. Yeah, yeah, especially on the third one. The third one was difficult. It's. Like, no, my tongue's running away from me. |
17:00 |
It's coming out. Congratulations on your tongue finally acknowledging the life it wants. Just wants to chase all those girthy breathing bollocks I guess. So then breathing would then be called ejaculating, and that'd be a common term and people wouldn't be free to buy it, so you'd go to. |
17:23 |
Like he's not ejaculating. Quick ejaculate into his mouth, we need to resuscitate him. And then you'd get like, like, sort of like health guru people saying she's in, she's out. |
17:42 |
She's. In She's out. Oh. Fucking world. Oh shit, I'm gonna breath. You know when the vast multiverse of things is the universe. Right. God, you're gonna make me breathe. There's a universe where everything's exactly the same, except that's the only change that those two words have been swapped. |
18:06 |
But there's somewhere in the multiverse where me and you are having the same conversation, swapping the words and absolutely. Pissing. Ourselves, that breathing means ejaculation. Or wouldn't be laughing if it the other way around, but we'd be laughing at the same thing but for opposite reasons. |
18:24 |
Yeah, yeah. To wrap your head around. That one. I was. I was in town today. The town that lives in the Cube. Yeah, Cube's the vast place that it has towns Cubton or the. UN, didn't you? What? Cubton. |
The movies that won a Silmarillion awards
18:39 |
Cubton. Yeah, I went. I went over to Cubton. It's a nice place. I had a rustic. Rustic I had. This thing urged yesterday. Like I just got this idea in my head that I don't own any of the Lord of the Rings films. I've not seen them in. Ages I've definitely like not seen the. |
18:56 |
I've only watched them at friends houses and that's not really the way you want to consume Lord of the Rings. I've never, I've never really sat down and gone. You know what I want to give this actual time because I've seen them like if they've been on or impassive, but I've never really given my full attention. |
19:13 |
So I'll get a lot of the rings. I'll treat myself. I'll get it on like I get it on like the 4K edition or something like that. Surely that's the thing. Or if I can't find that, I'll get it on Blu-ray. Look to CX couldn't find a single Lord of the Rings thing, which is insane because why wouldn't you find it? |
19:29> |
They they did have one copy of the motion picture trilogy on Blu-ray. I'm like, well, I kind of don't want that because if I want to get, if I want to watch them again and enjoy them, I want to watch the extended versions. I want to, you know, get everything. I kind of, I just don't want to watch the boring theatrical cut versions. |
19:45 |
Boring. I know I want to watch the longer. Versions. You know what I mean? I just feel like I'm missing out. Because it's like. To describe him as boring, those. Yeah, I know that that. Didn't make sense. No, I just feel like I'm these boring. |
20:01 |
Critically acclaimed films Boring. The one. Oscar these boring. 1 1/2 hour epics. Give me the three hour ones. Yeah, there's about an hour shaved from each one, or an hour and a bit shaved from each one. It's not. It is absolutely insane. |
20:18 |
So I thought, all right, HMV will do it. Who doesn't? When does HMV not have Lord of the Rings? So strange. But weird that you couldn't find it like a fucking copy that you actually wanted. Yeah. So I went. I went. To HMV and they I looked on the shelf of films, looked up at Lord of the Rings, nothing at all. |
20:37 |
I was like what the fuck? How did HMV not have Lord of the Rings? It's like a film that just is everywhere. I remember you couldn't move for seeing copters a lot of the rings back in the day. And surely there should be like a 4K or a Blu-ray theatrical, not a theatrical run, an extended cup run. |
20:54 |
I was like what the fuck is it? I was just walking around HMV anywhere and then I saw it in corner of my eye. There was 3 versions of it. So there was just The Hobbit trilogy and I didn't want to fuck about with that. Fuck off. Then there was. |
21:10 |
On normal DVD, just the theatrical version of the three films. And then there was normal Blu-ray, the theatrical version of the films. Just the fit. Because it's it, it said. And it made a point of it as well, going Lord of the Rings, the theatrical cup edition. |
21:30 |
So that to me means not extended. That's what they're advertising. It has, Yeah. And I'm looking on the back of my this is a Blu-ray, and it says newly remastered. Why would you do, going forward, a new remaster, put it out on Blu-ray or whatever, but not do it the extended way? |
21:49 |
Like, who's going to choose just that version over the, you know, the fuller meteor version? I was fuming. I just didn't have what I wanted. I'm like what? What? Anyway, sorry, I got home. I went surely must exist. So I was like went on Amazon, looked up Lord of the Rings theatrical, no extended full thing. |
22:11 |
I ended up I ended up buying it on Amazon. It should be coming tomorrow, direct to the cheap from the Albatross. I guess it's going to drop it. Off like a stalk. Or bundle the. Machine is big. I mean, here's the. Thing I saw, I saw. |
22:28 |
Yeah. I saw it works. I saw there was. A version, all three films, Blu-ray extended. No, not extended, just theatrical cut again for like, but it was a nine disc set, but yet it didn't have the extended version. |
22:45 |
It was just all special features and shit because there's a lot of special features and that was like over £100. I was like, well it's £100 for three films. I had another search, I found a 4K version, extended cup. Extended Cup also had the theatrical cuts in with it, so you'd get you'd get the for the movie once. |
23:05 |
You're on the go again. Yeah, you'd get the. You'd get the shot, you'd get the Cliff Notes, and then you'd get the full version for each film in the trilogy. And that was £46. That's a decent price for it. Compared to over. £100 for the version that I didn't even fucking want. |
23:21 |
Yeah, it's a good price. I thought I'll ask that that'll that'll come my way tomorrow I guess so looking forward to that. Can't remember if I got. The extended cut or not? I know it is. I think it's 6 discs like a boxer, but if you're going to buy. |
This is a non-political podcast
23:38 |
A lot of it's it's, it's insane that you can still go out on a boat and still find new individual films. Why brand new? Why are you selling that? Who's looking for the two Towers? I know it was. I know it was looking for the Two towers. Let's not get. |
23:55 |
Political in the queue. We're not a political podcast, mainly because I don't think we're intelligent enough to be a political podcast. Oh yeah, I. Am a fucking idiot like I can. Say I don't like this person, I don't like that person. |
24:11 |
You can ask me why and my response will be because they're a fucking idiot. Yeah, yeah. You see how he. Dresses not voting for him. He looks weird. Look where he stands. Look at his hands, tiny. Hands not voting for him. It's funny that you can say. |
24:28 |
That and people instantly know who you're on about. Why is he leaning? Forwards. Where? Is his center of gravity. Why do you look like he's in the Michael Jackson video for Thriller? No, not Thriller, Moonwalker. |
Cuber drivers and Cubeton visits
24:45 |
But yeah, I had a weird moment coming over before we started recording. So I was in the Uber. The Cuba's Ubers, they're called Cuba's, not the place or the cigars, the the ride service thing that we have in the cube. So I was in the Cuba on the way over here and it's been a miserable rainy day, right? |
25:07 |
Yeah. It's been shitty. Today, the guy in. The car has got the radio and it's a bit static here. He's struggling fortune into it. It's some football results thing. So he he really wants to listen to it. I'm like, I generally don't play what you want in an Uber, you know. Yeah, I'd rather some noise than no noise, even if it's something that I'm not into. |
25:25 |
So randomly should wind his window all the way down his window. Really fucking cold. I'm just getting wet on just getting wet. I know I'm not directly behind the driver because I think it's weird. If you're getting an Uber on your own, you always sit in the back seat on the opposite side of where the Uber driver is. |
25:44 |
Yeah, That just feels, it feels weird if you sit directly behind the driver. Yeah. I don't know why that's a rule, but I feel like it's an unwritten rule that we all follow that no one's ever talked about. Yeah. Because why would you want to sit directly behind it? It's weird. Unless you're assassinated him. |
26:00 |
I think he'll think. It's weird as well. Yeah, yeah, even. Weirder if you get in the passenger seat, just sit next to him, which I suppose is not outside the realms of possibility. You are allowed to do that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But be weird if you're on your own and you're not forced to. But yeah, he. |
26:18 |
Just opens his window and I'm getting like a bit of rain on his face. He doesn't acknowledge this at all and I'm like, is he doing this so we can get a better signal on the radio? Or is he just a bit warm and he wants to feel something? Or is this? Punishment, Yeah. You're getting punished. For something, yeah, is this is. |
26:33 |
This my is this my Silent Hill? Did he recognise me and he has some sort of vendetta against me? Turned around and he had. No job. Oh my God. Just the top. Yeah, the just top part of his jaw and his teeth were just dripping. |
26:50 |
And I went, oh, why do I feel guilty about something? It is foggy. Today, Yeah. Fucking oh Lord. What did you get from Time? On your adventures, I was. Originally going to get some money out. |
27:06 |
Well, the bank was closed when I got there, I thought was the bank. Closed This is the one. Man, on a Saturday I know which is nonsense and it's insane. What? Are they getting paid for To? What time do they open? What? Oh. Shit, I don't know, like 9:00 I think. So they're open for like 4-5 hours or whatever. |
27:23 |
Yeah, ridiculous. Why? 4 hours. Even, yeah, I don't know, the bank was like a little side thing I wasn't really that bothered about. It's just a side or so. Yeah, yeah. So when I. Get my money, Yeah. Yeah. |
27:41 |
I went to town so I could get some aftershave balm for this thing. Oh yeah. If you if you heard. That he just slapped his testicles. The breathing. The breathing. The breathing. Yeah, when I got myself a little vial of vial. |
28:00 |
Cream. A VAT. Of cream. A beaker of cream. If I. If I was trying to wrap my head around all the little glassware things that Walter White called, all these cook equipment, a volumetric glass of cream, I think that was what? |
28:22 |
No, I can't remember. They're all called, but yeah. Yeah. What are those test tubes? Called that you see in Frankenstein films where I don't think they serve any purpose, but they like a glass spiral. You obviously like water getting boiled through it and it'll like swell up and swell down. |
28:39 |
Oh yeah. It's it's the catch condensate in it is they'll steam. Cools in it and it. Becomes liquid. They'll have a specific. Name Yeah, A. Spirally glass. Tube of cream. It's just silly. Straws for science science silly tubes and they just say, but it's about catch catching condensation just so it you know, they don't look silly. |
29:05 |
Oh no, I don't want. To look silly boiling his colourful liquid. You go in, I don't focus on my. Fun glass work. It's for me. It's just for me. Look at the beakers instead. |
29:23 |
Memo that was a man to. Be a Beaker impression. I don't think it translated well. I've not had Beaker speak in a while. Here's a quick was beak. Of the original Groot similar language pattern were Pokémon the original Groot? |
The language pattern of tall plants
29:45 |
Similar language. Pattern it is. It is a similar language. Pattern was Chewbacca. The original Groot. Saying. That Groot is literally the the Chewbacca of Marvel I guess is just a pretty clear archetype. |
30:04 |
Character. Guy doesn't speak well, implying that Chewbacca's got a speech impediment. I was. Reading quote UN quote listening to but reading a Star Wars book and Princess Leia goes to Kashiq to meet, well, to hide from the new Empire. |
Bad writing
30:29 |
And there's a bunch of Wookies there, obviously, because it's fucking Kashiq and the main Wookie or the head Wookie or the leader of the tribe can speak English. And it's very jarring because. All the other wookies. Are all all the other wookies are like? |
30:47 |
You know, as Wookies. Tend to do and this guy's like. To offer my services literally that's. |
31:03 |
Exactly how it sounds, Oh my. God, I fucking it's awful to. Listen to that gives me a. Mental image of ashes suddenly speaking to me and how this. Who speaking to you? |
31:18 |
Your dog? Yeah, Oh yeah, Ash, the other member of the podcast for some. Reason I thought. Because I've talked about, I mentioned Pokémon before. The first thing was Ash Ketchum. Like why Ash Ketchum speaking to him? Give him an absolute Lima. |
31:37 |
And why would he sound like a Chewbacca? A walkie? Like I. Get it you want to drink a dog and just. Stick it out to speak. Fucking fighting as fuck again. You want to. Drive the narrative forward, and if Princess Leia is on the Wookie home world and she's kind of on her own, you kind of have to have someone who can speak, I guess. |
31:58 |
Otherwise you'd be reading or listening to Princess Leia just saying. Oh. Thank you. Thank. You for helping me, Ambassador Wookie? Just for like 3 pages? No, no. I'm all right. I'm not hungry yeah oh I I love a cup of tea. |
32:18 |
Then that's how you do it yeah context clue it you know I know make a disgusting character specific he's. He's given a lot of like plot information and he's given a lot then give it to another. Character. Yeah, they should have invented. A non wookie character yeah, he just. |
32:34 |
Lives on fucking Kashiq with him and it also implies. That Chewbacca has a speech impediment. That's not why he. Yeah, that's not why he talks. Like that, but he's got. Slack jaw signal. That's a. I'm not joking. They bring that up. They say, Oh yeah, Chewbacca. |
32:50 |
He's always struggled with his words since he was a young Wookie or something like that. They mentioned him. I. Fucking hate it so much in one of the most. Popular Star Wars books I've ever written as well to the Empire. Considered an absolute classic. Everybody loves it because of the introduction of throne, so that may be the case. |
33:08 |
Right, but that is a bad idea. I've read better Star Wars. Books, you know. But no, I agree. I. Think it's a bad idea Any. Classic piece, any any like well loved piece, all of them potentially have something in and that's a shite idea. |
Shyriiwook
33:24 |
Yeah, also. It was written, I think, before they really settled on the word what to call, like, Darth Vader, even though it was set because it's the first book that came out after the films, really. People were hankering for more Star Wars at the time. And I don't think, like, George Lucas has settled on the word Sith yet. |
33:39 |
So every time there's an evil Jedi knocking about, they just call them dark Jedi. Oh, yeah, love. It was a dark Jedi. Even though in the first film, in Episode. Yeah. In A New Hope, there is a related scene where they do drop the word safe, but he just never made it into a film. So it makes me think that they hadn't settled on it yet or like George Lucas on it, confirmed that he wanted to use it because the guy who wrote to the Empire, apparently he still had Lucas's. |
34:05 |
Go ahead. You know, because at the time it was considered, yeah, yeah, whatever Canon, you know, even though he, George Lucas in the back of his head knew that he wanted to do 3 films after that, about 30 years down the line, even though that isn't how it turned out. But yeah, it's like, Oh yeah, yeah, you can write what you want, It's fine. |
34:23 |
Now, just just what should we call, what should we call that Da Jedi? What we should call this guy called Saba off da Jedi? It's da Jedi. But yeah, no, because there's things that are mentioned in it that wouldn't, that weren't mentioned in any of the films that are in this book, which came in the fucking 80s, which were only mentioned in sort of Episode 1. |
34:44 |
Like Kashiq. Kashiq wasn't mentioned till, you know, the prequel trilogy, Choruson being the capital of the fucking Galaxy. That wasn't even a thing to Episode 1. This book was written fucking years before that. |
35:00 |
So there was some things that was obviously, obviously the guy who wrote Timothy Zahn. He would have had talks with Lucas. But get these ideas up, yeah. I don't know why, Lucas. Said, yeah, sure, you can have a fucking talking Wookie in there. It was almost as bad. Yeah. Thanks, George. Lucas, it was almost as. |
35:16 |
Bad as in Rogue, not Rogue One, the Han Solo Solo film when Han Solo meets Chewbacca for the first time and then Han Solo speaks Wookie to the Wookie. So I'm not going to sound like a fucking Star Wars fan. She work. |
35:31 |
She work is what the Wookie says is the language of the Wookies. Excuse me everybody, allow me to the one that the. Few to me what? The few Star Wars. Fans listening good. They don't speak Wookie. Wookie don't speak Wookie. |
35:47 |
Wookie speaks she work. I'm like yeah, I know don't don't at me. Star Wars fans, I know I'm one of you. Fuck off. I'm a fucking loser as well. Yeah, I'm telling me shoeback. For the first time, Shoeback is about for twat is heading and then Han Solo goes. |
36:07 |
But he doesn't even. Do it like a human way. It's clearly. It's clearly. Like obviously they have a guy doing that sound, but I think the original sound was like a mix of like a lion and a Burr. |
36:22 |
And then they like put it through an audio thing and then they made it. They made it sound so it can't be imitated that well, but it was clearly that sort of audio file. What they've done dubbed over Han Solo's voice, which sounded so fucking weird. That sounds. Horrendous, I believe. |
36:39 |
Like you could learn the Wookie like she work language like that, but at least like do it like I do it, you know it. It might look a bit more natural than just me opening my mouth and then Wookie noises coming out. I stand by my working impression. |
36:57 |
I think it's great and if anyone is good and if everyone ever ever, if ever comes up in conversation, I wouldn't hesitate to use it at any given time. I think we should do an. Entire podcast, an episode where I just speak she work and you talk to me like you can understand me. |
37:14 |
I think I could do it for an hour. Maybe not put it away. What? What the What the the voice of my bollock? Oh my God, you almost. Did a motley laugh. You're on the you're on. |
37:33 |
The verge of greatness. Nearly did that. Again, but it's a few more cigarettes. That's all I need. Speaking of cigarettes, I. Found out quite sad news actually. I started to bring the tone down. I found out today that David Lynch is just dying. |
David Lynch
37:50 |
Oh shit, yeah, he's got, I can't remember what he's got, but it's because he's been smoking all his fucking life. So he's like his lungs collapsed in. He's not like got like a a death day. But yeah, he's on his way out. Fucking I. Fucking love that. Guy that guys, I just love weird guys. Seen a lot of his. |
38:07 |
Films. Seen a lot of his TV shows. Absolutely love Twin Peaks. Like insane. But yeah, because we'll never find out who killed Laura Palmer. I mean, I mean, we did. It was in season 2 and then season 2 got really weird. But then season then what I absolutely love about that whole Twin Peaks situation, fucking season 2 ended with come back in 30 years and I'll tell you what's what. |
38:32 |
And to the day, season 3 or 30 years later. How insane is that fucking? Jesus to the absolute. Fucking day of when Laura Palmer said that I'm like so good and he's a director who's not scared about doing shit. Like it's like he'll do what he wants. |
38:48 |
But you know what? In this 40 minute episode, I am absolutely going to spend 15 minutes zooming on a guy, brushing up some dirt and I'll just play some weird fucking music over it. Or I'll zoom in really close on this explosion and it goes on for a while. |
39:06 |
There's like this otherworldly explosion, just like going off in slow motion and he just zooms in. It just takes forever, but it's good. You're absolutely captivated by it. Yeah. Have. You ever seen his? Oh my God, have. You ever seen his film? |
39:21 |
On Netflix called Jack where he. Oh yeah. It's black and white, he interviewed. A monkey called Jack and something about murder and a rooster. So good. It's all like 15. 20 minutes, isn't it? |
39:38 |
Yeah, it's short film, but. Yeah, it's really good. Highly recommend you. I've. Really enjoyed it. Honestly, you should. Watch more David Lynch stuff. I should. I should, I wouldn't watch his. Version of Dune, though it's not that good. Speaking of cancer, so that like it's a good thing. |
39:59 |
Oh my God. Is this why you've shaved your house? My God. No. When when you said because he's been smoking? Like I was thinking, oh. Shit, maybe it's like, well, it's sounded going to be most slow all along in there. |
Silly singers and amazing actors
40:18 |
Like that's, that's the kind of cancer you get from smoking. Yeah. They must say he had thought cancer like a few years ago, did he? Yeah. He's already sounds like that, no? No, he's just. He's always sounded silly, but. No, it was in like. 10 years ago I did not know he had throat. |
40:35 |
Cancer. Yeah, yeah, yeah, fair enough. Someone else? Who's in remission for a form of throat cancer? Is Sam Regal, voice actor extraordinaire? Who? Who did he voice? |
40:50 |
Well, I know anything he does. Leonardo. A lot did. Which version of Leonardo did he do? I'll have to look it up to. Actually tell you he he's done a few different ones and all that. I was going to say it like he's. Not the original 1, is it? No, no, no. No, no, yeah, he's, he's one of the Critical Role cast, all right. |
41:11 |
Yeah, He, he took like a very long hiatus from the show so we could actually get treatment for it and whatever. Shit. Operation. Is the word I'm looking for. What did you say his name? Was Sam Regal? I think he might have. Ended up voicing. He might have been the third voice actor for Leonardo in 2013. |
41:36 |
Ninja Turtles the CGI one. They went through a. Few Leonardos they went through. The first one was who's the guy in American Pie? The main character? Oh yeah. Yeah, he was. He did the voice of Leonardo for a bit, yeah. |
41:52 |
Then I can't remember his name. I can't remember his name either. Then I can't remember. Why he left, but who replaced him was Seth Green. So that was Jarin. Just Leonardo going. Around. So I'm like Chris Griffin. And saying that. |
42:10 |
When I was watching it, when it was Erin, I didn't really notice back in the day, but when I hear clips of it now, I'm like, oh, that's just Chris Griffin. And I think the third actor to place him might have been that guy that you just said, whose name I've completely already forgot. Some regal. |
42:26 |
And they explained it. They explained that voice change because it was so drastically different. Jason Biggs. Jason Biggs. Yeah, yeah. So it's Jason Biggs. Seth Green and I think this guy who had throat cancer. And they were. And they explained it in it with a plot episode, which is something they don't really do for voice actors with the way animation takes and stuff and how long animation takes to when the voices get recorded. |
TV show continuity
42:50 |
But they had they had Leonardo get absolutely decimated in a one-on-one fight with Shredder and Shredder just like fucking kicked him in his larynx. And for? About 3 episodes Leonardo couldn't talk and he had a raspy voice every time he tried to talk until eventually he ended up sounding like the new voice actor. |
43:10 |
So they made it into an entire plot point which I think was pretty cool. Also that that doesn't. Happen ever usually Does it? No, it might happen. In like a live action thing where they recast someone and then they'll be a little cheeky winking or nod like new season of Fresh Prince of Bel Air comes out and Will Smith says, hey, Aunt Viv, you're looking different. |
43:31 |
You know, it might do something. Like that. And again, stupid childmate. I didn't even fucking notice any difference. Yeah. Yeah, same, you know, all the same. It's, it was only like years later when, yeah, when I watched the episode again and I was like, I think it's because. |
43:46 |
Back in the day when they showed on TVI think they just showed random episodes out of order. So it never really made sense anyway because I don't think they gave a shit about continuity back in the day. They just like, we've ordered this block of these episodes from America. Let's just show them in any order, I guess. |
44:02 |
Yeah. I mean, I don't I don't think it matters so much with like the sitcom E type, because it doesn't usually like there's there's not an over well, there's an overacking story, but it it isn't something that yet you have to watch in all, is it? You just fucking really assume it in every way, in any way you. |
44:18 |
I'd say that about sitcoms. In the 90s and the early 2000s, but I think most sitcoms now, like, it does help if you do watch them, you know, in continuity. Yeah. Like, fucking even like Brooklyn 99. They'll have an ongoing story, we'll have a series plot line, you know, But it's something that they didn't really do back in the day because I think it's because of streaming. |
44:40 |
No, though, because back in the day they bought shows in syndication, which means you could just show them whenever you wanted to show them in a certain time slot. And the idea why they wanted shows written like that because they didn't want people to have to watch them from the start. |
44:56 |
You know, you could just join in anywhere, which is why Twin Peaks was such a drastic going back to Twin Peaks was such a drastic change of events. I always go back and say in Twin Peaks started the binge model way before binging was a thing because it had a threw on plot line. |
45:12 |
Everyone find out who killed Laura Palmer. So people were tuning in week in week out to find out about the ministry to find out who where it went. It was one of the first TV shows to do that. And when they were making it, they said you absolutely cannot do this. It will not sell. We can't sell a show like this, which is why, like shortly after when The X-Files came out, that's why they did a lot of monster of the week episodes and only very few episodes tied the whole overarching plot together. |
45:42 |
So you can dip in and out of X-Files. Yeah. But yeah, I feel like Twin Peaks was the first show to start what is now the only model of television. You just have to watch the first episode and keep watching. And I it's very rare to come up with a show or. |
45:59 |
I can't think of a. Modern show where you can just dip in a random episode. Like even on my favorite sitcoms like Always Sunny. I suppose you can just watch random episodes, but they might reference a lot of things from the past or yeah parts. And. Recreation as a, you know, the, the characters grow, you know, they go through arcs, you know, Brooklyn 99. |
46:22 |
So yeah, I think it's rare these days to have a show which you'll just be like, hey, it's a different, different scenario each week. Oh, what's what's Will Smith going to get into this time sort of thing? Are you still trying to find out which version of Leonardo we voiced? I think it was. I think it was Donatello actually, but he did. |
Regal Riegel
46:42 |
He did a lot of the. Voices for the officers in Arkham Knight, it's the. Bear fucking. Criminals the the officers. Can still be stunned it's. The Bear. Hey, you show your. You show your what? |
46:58 |
Else you show you're an officer. Yeah, the bear. You sound pretty. Thick necked and thuggish to me. Are you sure you're just not an inmate dressed as an officer? Breaks his spine, Breaks his spine and then checks his pockets for ID. |
47:22 |
Oh shit, turns out he. Was just very dumb and he was a cop. Oh, well, it was probably a bent cop. Not in the word that he was, you know, a gay cop. Batman's not against the gays, I don't think, Only the bent. Ones. |
47:40 |
You like that one? Didn't you? Yeah, you did. He did. He was the voice of Peter Parker in the Amazing Spider Man video games. Amazing Spider Man. Oh, the the sort of the. Past movie time 10 Right, right, right. Right the Andrew. Garfield, oh those. |
47:57 |
Ones. Yeah, also he was doing. Like an Andrew Garfield impression. I don't well. I don't, I don't think he was necessarily doing an Andrew Garfield impression. Do you know? I never. Played any of those amazing The amazing spider man games pretty good. I saw. My friend had one back in the day and I didn't like this weird web zip mechanic, you know, where you just froze time and then you could just zoom into a place and you'd instantly like web zip over. |
48:22 |
I didn't like getting right in the city that way. And I didn't like the fact that like they were tied into the films but yet they were a sequel to the films and it always ended the same way. Like most Spider Man games end just fight big robots. Just big fucking. |
48:38 |
Robots. It's a very long time. I never played the second one, but it's a very long time since I played the first one, so I can't really comment only that much. Yeah, because the the. Amazing, I do remember that. I enjoyed it, do you know what I mean? I did, I didn't think unpopular opinion. I didn't like the amazing spider man 2. |
48:55 |
I didn't like the amazing spider man 1 to be further. Also an unpopular opinion. I think Andrew. Garfield plays a good spider man but a shite Peter Parker. That's my take. It was. It was Donatello in that one, the 2000. And three series, Yeah, that makes sense. |
49:11 |
And it was Donatello. In a different one as well. Let me find a new one. It was the voices in the games that were coming out at that time as well. Yeah, that makes. Sense don't buy Kanami those games. Yeah, back when they were doing games in the olden days. |
49:27 |
In the olden days I. Mean they, they, they started getting back into games. Now, obviously they produced Silent Hill to remake. They didn't make it. Yeah, they produced it. Yeah, but he does. He does a lot of video games. He does a lot of character voices for anime as well. |
49:43 |
That makes sense, yeah. I think I would have only known him from the Donatello 2003 series, which was OK. A lot of people really like that series, but I think it got way too convoluted very, very, very fast. That's why I honestly think the 2003 series, no, the 2013 series is peak Ninja Turtles for me. |
50:05 |
It has a beginning, middle, and end. It's really fucking good. Characters die in brutal ways, and it has that blend of the fun, lovable silliness of the 80s Ninja Turtles that everybody says, well, this is the best version ever. |
50:21 |
It's not. Yeah, it's iconic and they look fucking great. So it's got that. Going for it. And it's also got the dark grittiness of what is the Ninja Turtles comics, because the comics are just dark and gritty. Yeah, yeah, a classic. |
The best of a bad bunch
50:41 |
Best of a bad bunch. Yeah, I was thinking about. This the other day. Do you know you were saying? Oh no, we'll never get sponsored by Madre or any other alcoholic beverage. I don't think legally you can advertise. Today it was about 3. |
50:56 |
Weeks ago. It feels like. Yeah, but if people were. Binge in this podcast. Oh, no, you know. What it was It's the game of the year episode, weren't it? So it might move from 2. Yeah, the first one. |
51:12 |
Yeah, Part 1. Yeah. But if you're binging it, it may, you know, it's fine. I can do callbacks. So yeah, The other day, yeah, when I was like, so yeah. Two hours ago when you. Yeah, why not then You said this. |
51:28 |
I mean, they probably. Will know we're not recording them all in one big go because our energy's up and we're not fucking tired like that one time. But yeah, the other day. When I said Madrid is the best with bad bunch and you're like Oh no, we can never get a sponsored now. I don't think you can legally advertise alcohol anywhere, I don't think. |
51:45 |
I was. I don't think I was that that against it. No, I think you were. I think you think. It was, I think. You're really angry that Madrid sponsor and I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I don't think we can be sponsored by alcohol. I'm sorry to look your faults. |
52:03 |
To be sponsored by this mediocre shit beer. Hey, you know what if they. Want to drop it like a couple of free crates off for sponsoring them? Yeah, I'll, I'll say you're not the best of a bad bunch. I'll say you're the bad. Of the best bunch, you're the worst of the. |
52:18 |
Best thank you Madre B minus. You get AC. Which is a passing grade in it you're going to get. Half a Gold Star. Half of 1. |
52:34 |
Half of 1 gold. * But the full grade is a Gold Star, all right? Certain shades of the star get covered in that. That was what the. Question was going to be yeah. So I suppose you could go off the one star scale if one point it's a five star star, I'm a five star star. |
52:56 |
Just they start screaming I'm a five star star. God damn it. The golden star. The five star star. Yeah, so I. Imagine the five points. So technically it could kind of be out of six, really, if you want to break it down. |
53:14 |
53:14 So if you just, yeah, right, hear me out. So one of the points shaded in, that's one out of five in it. You shaded in two points, 2 out of five out of five. Then you shaded in all five points, 5 out of five. But the middle bit's not shaded in. You shed in the middle bit 6 out of five, I said. |
Cubic landmarks and popular Cubic sayings
53:33 |
No one's a six out of five, certainly not Madrid. Absolutely. Not, but you know, I'll take. It because it's all the sell over at the road in the local cube, the off cube, the cube license down the. |
53:58 |
Street where the Cubel is, yeah. Spend a cube. With a lot, that's what the slogan is a thing in it, yeah. See a cube? Pick it up. All cube long. You'll cube, cube, cube. God. All day long. |

54:31 |
What they called sayings, I guess. Catch phrases, I guess. Yeah. Are they catch phrases? Yeah. I'm not sure I was. I was asking someone this. Oh no, no, I mean, I was asking someone, but I put it in one of my work emails. |
54:49 |

Cube size. About what it actually is that I'm saying, right, Right. Cube TV too. OK. I was going to say. Cube again, but that's cube in it, yeah. You can't go unless you want to use cube as bullet point cube cube squared. |
56:00 |
That's. .3 right? No, it's not. That's cube cubed, yeah. Exactly. Right, cube squared. I'm still trying to. Remember my initial point that I have to go back to? Because you're. Asking this question that does relate back to that, but I'm still trying to remind myself what it is. |
56:18 |
So then the the the listeners will go, hey, he never explained what he was going to say. Go on Cube. Cube no Cube squared. Cube squared. Right. How many cubes are in? This bullet cubes. I'm just trying to figure out. What you're going to do after cube cubed? |
56:35 |
I don't think I'm going. To have to cube cube, that's good. Good. I don't know what the word. For a tiny floor, is. Yeah, I don't know, try and figure out. Well. What's what? What the fuck is 1/4 dimensional shape? |
56:52 |
Because that's that's that's what it's going to be in it cube. Timed I guess. Maybe. What is 1/4 dimensional shape? Carry on with. Your cube points. Cube squared. Right. Is the cube squared? |
57:08 |

Didn't buy it. It was like it. Was incredibly. Late at night, it was like the earliest of the morning and it was on Film 4. I had A and it was about 15 years ago. I don't. Own any of them anymore. But in in uni, me and my girlfriend at the time we had, I got a hyperfixation where I was just like, it was like fucking 5:00 in the afternoon and they were all on streaming and we just went, hey, let's watch all the Cube films. |
58:26 |
And we just did straight after each other. Cube one, Cube 2, Cube 3, Hypercube and then Cube 4. Cube 4 is not that bad, but Hypercube's fucking weird. It makes no sense. That one's about a tesseract. Which is 0. |
58:42 |
Fuck they're like they forced you to watch that soon as you get to the cube. It's. On all the Cuba gander. That's just a cube having a glance, cube having a gander. |
The secret ingredient to successful cubemail
59:07 |
Right. .2 No sorry, point squared. You have to be funny or. Annoying or annoying point Cube. Just cube, cube, keep keep. Is there? If I can find a tangent to go on, I will right Just so, no matter how long. |
59:25 |
Each. Each e-mail that I send has to follow two of the three two of the three criteria, right? So Clara concise, that's always. In it right Clara, concise. I was in. It be silly or go off on a tangent, yeah. |
59:43 |
Yeah, sometimes I get to do all three, you know what I mean? And I send an e-mail that genuinely could have been like 2-3 lines worth of it. Could have been a thumbs. Up emoji and it'll be. And it'll be two. 3 paragraphs of just shit get out. |
1:00:04 |
And I know that people. Read it just in case there's something in there that you need. That's fucking great. So in in one of. Them you asked What's a catch phrase? Yeah, you know. One of them, I don't have it on my phone or anything, you know what I mean? |
1:00:19 |
But it was it was during like. Let's let's see if it can. Be like funny or annoying, right? And I. And I said a few sort of catch phrases and then yeah, they are catch. Phrases and then. |
1:00:35 |
I just sort of, it's like a book. I can't think of the word. Is it character? Yeah. I. Guess or the 4th. Wall and you became the e-mail, I became the. E-mail and that's the e-mail I asked what is that called actually? |
1:00:51 |
Is it a saying? What is it? And then and then there was like 4 or 5 lines of me asking that sort of question and Esop's. Fable is that what it is? Just doing the whole talk and the her story. What is that? Is that a catch phrase? |
1:01:06 |
Just this book. Just this. Entire story about our dog looked at his reflection and fell into the river because he because he was jealous because it had a bone and then he was jealous of its bone. |
1:01:22 |
So it dropped his bone, but it was his reflection. So then his bone fell in the water. Then he jumped in the water to get the bone. All right. Is, is that a catch phrase? Is that a saying? Who was? ESOP what's he doing telling these weird stories about dogs dropping bones? |
1:01:41 |
I don't. Think he. Specifically wrote stories about dogs. Yeah, he wrote that. Story about that dog that dropped that bone in that river. Yeah, but all these. When he wrote that story about. That thought, that's the matter. And then two that I can remember off the top of my head. I can't even remember what the dog and bone story is called. |
1:02:00 |
I said it's like I'm doing Kathy Ryan's slang. And. That's that. Phone call, yeah. And that's where that. Comes from. I did I. Did and we're. Also not educational like what we take. |
1:02:19 |
Everything we say as. Absolute fact. As we stated. Earlier, I am a fucking idiot, you know what I mean? Well, I did I. Did actually I'll I'll. Say second to that because I just don't want me to be silent. |
1:02:36 |
By the way. I'm a fucking idiot. Me to stay silent. Yeah. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not joining in on this. I didn't agree to this. No, we're both fucking idiots. I did. I did relay the full story of the toss of the herd to digit work. |
The Tortoise and the Square
1:02:54 |
Did they know it? Two weeks ago, no. It's stupid. He's like, not. 19 or 20 or what they're. Teaching these kids. So he was saying about how he's he's doing all this fast and this other person's doing it slow. And I was like, well, we have to understand this. |
1:03:11 |
This guy's slow, he's steady, he's sturdy. Do you know what I mean? He's looking at me like I'm talking shit, which I was. Do you know what I mean? You got to do. But then I said. It's only like the toss and the herb, isn't it? And he was like. Pull the blanket stuff. Yeah, yeah. |
1:03:29 |
Then did you get angry? When he didn't know what it was because I would have done a bit. If someone said but. Then I told him the. Story and I was like, so he's. Never had metaphors explain to him such intricate detail, so I was saying. |
1:03:44 |
Yeah, so this guy's the tortoise in it because Sloan said he wins the race. He doesn't stop. He always gets what he's doing done. Yeah, it might take him longer than other people, but he's working it and he's always working and he's doing whatever. Why did the hare? Lose again. Was he just like overly cocky or over lose? |
1:04:00 |
His hubris, weren't it. Because he was so fast, he decided to take a nap and take the fell asleep. He fell. Asleep, didn't he? Yeah. So after telling this whole story and I was like anyway I have I have stuff to do because I am at work. So you weren't on smoker or anything? |
1:04:19 |
No, no. Smoker so as as we start a party, we're trailing which is a. Lover. As we start a party ways, we're like a good 50 foot away from each other and he shakes something, he goes where am I the her in this? |
1:04:38 |
And I went, yeah, you've got it then and you you can stand, do some work. Yeah, do something. Like a. Her in the soup at a restaurant, that's what you. I like how it took. Him a while for fucking realized it took him about 20. Minutes, Jesus. |
1:04:54 |
Fucking Christ. So. Yeah, what, 1 Before I get back to my original point, I think I was confused about what a catch phrase is because of the fucking show catch phrase. 90% of those things aren't catch phrases. Oh, yeah. |
1:05:09 |
It'll be like little, little Johnny Roy Walker. He'll be all like, say what you see, say what you see, and you're expecting a fucking catch phrase. And it's like school bus. Yeah. It's not. It's not a. Catch phrase. Yeah, you know, and, and sometimes it's like hammering a nail. |
1:05:29 |
I mean, that's what's happening and that's what it is. 1 to 2% of actual catch phrases. Yeah. Lesser knowns. Verbs are adjectives and nothing else. Minerals. So am I. Honestly I love watching Catch Phrase because I think I'd be banging on it if I actually went on because I usually get them all the time. |
1:05:52 |
But I get very. Annoyed when they're not catch phrases, which is a lot. It's one of those shows that if it's ever on, I just hate watch it and I'll start screaming at my TV. I'll do the whole classic Picard. What the fuck is this? Which is really funny. |
1:06:07 |
Speaking of that, if you have Netflix with ads, when you pause it, occasionally there'll be an ad on the side and then the Star Trek or whatever show you're watching will go to a thumbnail on the side, and the thumbnail that they choose is the Picard going. |
1:06:23 |
What the fuck is this mean? So it looks like he's saying what the fuck exists to every ad that comes up at the side, which I. Think is fucking. Hilarious and I don't think they've done it on purpose, but still. Anyway. My initial point being, take a famous catch phrase because of the. I always have thought. |
CUBEPHRASE
1:06:41 |
You would have seen Candy Man over there take a famous catch phrase, sprinkle it with you. It's really weird. Because when you said I thought you were going to say candy man, then I thought you were going to start singing candy man candy. |
1:06:58 |
Man, candy man. I'm like, that's not a fucking song. That's just saying candy, man. Three times in a mirror and there's a mirror in this room and now I'm scared. No, you have to say. Five times. Oh yeah, I'm good. I'm good. Yeah. Candy man. Candy man. Oh. My God, I'm. |
1:07:14 |
Suddenly fighting it's alright, it's. It's OK because he's not going to get us because sadly, a couple of weeks ago the actor passed away. You said happy. No, because. He's not going to get me. He's not going to place bees in me. |
1:07:30 |
Do you want bees in you? Not bees in me? Tony Todd. Tony Todd sadly passed away recently. Did a really good Venom voice. He was good at everything. He did. He was good at. Everything he did, he I think he's he's one of those guys who was in a lot of horror films, end up being a lot of shitty horror films because he was in a good horror film. |
1:07:52 |
Yeah, that guy deserved a lot better work. Like he was always like either the monster or the side character or yeah. He was supporting role. He was typecast very early in his career, I think. I think him doing venom. Was really fucking good for him. And I'm like, well, as soon as he was a nurse I was like, fuck yeah, that's so good. |
1:08:10 |
And he did such a good Venom voice and a lot of it was all him. It wasn't like. Fed through some. Weird effects and stuff such a. Deep. Yeah, like there's a cultural voice there. Was a video of him just. Doing it like on his phone on TikTok or something, just holding the phone up, just doing the Venom voice. |
1:08:26 |
I'm like oh that's so cool. So much better than fucking Tom Harden doing it. But yeah, my point being, take a famous catch phrase. Replace the words. With cube. Will people? Tell what you're saying. |
1:08:42 |
Still said with the phrase, but the words are cubed. I think that was fucking perfect. I think I explained exactly what I wanted to say. But if that didn't come across, if that didn't come across. |
1:09:03 |
Because of the. Annotations of certain catch phrases, like a stitch in time saves 9. You could replace every word with cube. And would you know what catch phrase I'm saying? So a cube in cube null. No, you can have the joining words. So a cube in cube saves cube. |
1:09:19 |
Yeah, yeah, I think that's easier. But if you replace every word with cube, is it still possible? I think if every words one syllable, I think you could do it very few. Only have one syllable words in them, a station time. Stage 9. That's all one syllable, so cube. Cube. Cube. Not all of them, no. |
1:09:36 |
I. Don't think it would work. Cube, cube, Cube, cube, cube. Cube, cube. Cube cube cube. I think you have to do the levels to it for for it to work out. Do it again. Right, so I. Am doing station time stage 9 so oh. OK, cube, cube, cube. |
1:09:53 |
Cube cube, right? Would you know that is the station time saves saves 9? It'd be very. Difficult, but if I say cube. In cube saves cube. Yeah, that's well, easy. Is there any? Of those that could fit that either, I can't think of any other fucking catch phrases on the top of my head. |
1:10:09 |
Don't cube. Today what you can cube. Tomorrow No, that's most of the words aren't cube in that don't cube off cube day what you can cube to cubo. Replace the word, replace an individual syllable. What about you? Cube, cube, cube, cube, cube. |
1:10:27 |
Don't know. I think it's the narcissist. Tell me what I heard in my head. I love you, I love you you. Must too many. Words. You just say cube. Cube, cube, cube cube cube. No 5 cubes. No, I was 6. What? Did you say cube again? |
1:10:47 |
I said. Cube, cube, Cube, Cube, cube, cube. Cube, cube, cube, cube. OK, no, you'll have to put some giant words in there. I'll do it with two cubes. All right. Many cubes. Spoil the cube. |
1:11:03 |
Oh no, it's not. It's not, is it? You were thinking of. You were thinking of two different ones. You were thinking of too. Too many spoiled the bra or. Absolutely was many. Cubes myself. So many cubes make. |
1:11:19 |
Cube, cube or too many cubes spoil the cube, right? God damn. I suppose you could. Put 2 cubes in each catch phrase, but too many cubes spoil the cube. Cube. Many cubes cube the cube. |
1:11:36 |
Nothing that would still. Work too many cubes cube the cube or many cubes make. Cube. Cube, Yeah. I think you can replace most of the words with cube and I think it'd still work, but it takes some thinking about. Yeah, yeah, that's welcome to cube phrase. |
1:11:53 |
The most? Painful show in existence and every time they remove a squirt, it's just a picture of a cube. Every time just one one big cube that sort of like rotates on screen cube what you see. Cube what you see. |
1:12:10 |
Say what you cube? Cube what you cube? And red. We're, we're, no, we're going to play the ready cube round, pick a square. That's the centrepiece. |
1:12:27 |
That's a good one. Well. Well, Roy Walker, I think it's a cube. close, close. Now put it all together. Oh my. |
1:12:45 |
God, right? I think in the distance, Speaking of which we were going to, we did have an idea to talk about, yeah, we're going to talk about a proposed film that we could kind of write and we were going to do. Plot points. |
1:13:00 |
And whatnot. And we're going to like kind of run some ideas with everyone. Well, both ideas are the listeners. Yeah, the guy. Gives feedback like. We'll do a part. 2 where we'll read the feedback if comments are a thing. |
1:13:16 |
No, but we were going to both ideas of each other and just say some unhinged films and plots lines. But I think, I think I hear the albatross coming. I can hear his wings. Flopping. Oh, wait, no, that's. That's just an Aussie throwing a boomerang. |
1:13:34 |
Whoa, I almost got man. Oh. Shit, Albatross is here now. Oh. Shit best go, best get. I don't want to get fucking tucked, tucked and tucked. I don't want to wear with. |
1:13:52 |
Tucks this time. Oh no, I don't want to get. Tucked in a tux? Yeah, I'm bike and I don't know, get on your bike. Ohh. I am Jack. Please come back. Yeah, it's better the. Same don't come back. It is. Fuck. |
