Oh, thanks, Mark. Yeah, I love Easter.
You're welcome.

Speaker 2 I love Easter so much. You there? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm here.

Speaker 2 All the way from Listener Studios. Me too.

Speaker 2 Yes. Yes.
Yes. Yes.

Speaker 2 Sorry, you go.

Speaker 2 We're just across from each other, Broden.

Speaker 2 Is there a delay in your headphones?

Speaker 2 I understand we're across from each other, Mark.

Speaker 2 There's a slight delay on my end. I'm just trying to fill in the gaps.
Right. We're less than.

Speaker 2 So I just need to figure out how to do that.

Speaker 2 Maybe I imagine Lindsay will cut it up later so that it works better. Right.
Proximity-wise.

Speaker 2 Yep, sorry.

Speaker 2 Proximity-wise, we're less than. Sorry.

Speaker 2 We're less than a meter away from each other. Maybe you wearing the headphones is a mistake.

Speaker 2 Maybe, yeah, maybe. I think since COVID, it's been a...
Sorry? What? No, no, no. No, nothing.
Nothing. Keep going.
Sorry, since go. Yep.
Yep.

Speaker 2 Since COVID, I think there's been a delay on... I think people have become used to podcasts not being done in a studio together.
Yes.

Speaker 2 Yes. Yes.
Sorry, you go? No, I'm done. So I think people are used to that sort of delay and a little bit of talking over each other.
Yes. In podcast thing.
Yes.

Speaker 2 What do you like to do on Easter?

Speaker 2 This is ridiculous.

Speaker 2 I like to

Speaker 2 go and have eggs with my sorry. Fresh eggs.
Sorry. Fresh eggs.

Speaker 2 Fresh eggs, yeah. Not chocky eggs.
Fresh

Speaker 2 fresh chocolate eggs.

Speaker 2 Fresh chocolate eggs. Fresh chocolate eggs.
Fresh chocolate eggs. All right.
Well, look. We should probably just move on.

Speaker 2 Sorry, you guys. No, no, no, no.
No, it's all right. I'm not having any delay.
I want to make that clear. I got no delay issues on my end.
At my end, there's none either.

Speaker 2 No, I think, no, I think there is. Yours taking a while to respond to me.

Speaker 2 You're taking a while to respond to me. I'm right on it.
I'm right on it.

Speaker 2 And then there's a gap. And that's not.
No, no, no. And that's...
No, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no.

Speaker 2 No, no, no, no, no. That is not what's happening.
That is not what's happening.

Speaker 2 It is Easter, and you're acting ridiculous. I wanted to ask you about the ultimate egg hunt.

Speaker 2 I wanted to ask you. I want to ask you about the.

Speaker 2 No, you see, you are saying the same thing as me. There's just a delay on it.
Right.

Speaker 2 My ultimate egg hunt. Tell them about your ultimate.

Speaker 2 Yep. I'm just about to.

Speaker 2 Mine is one shared with family and friends. Mine is one where the eggs are not hidden in places that the hit can get to.

Speaker 2 Because if you don't find them, they'll get. Did somebody say eggs? Oh, who is this?

Speaker 2 Who is this?

Speaker 2 Oh, who's this? Who's this? Somebody said eggs. Yum, yum, yum.
I love eggs. What is your name? My name is Easter Bunny.
Are you experiencing a delay out of curiosity? No.

Speaker 2 Easter Bunny, it's Broden here. Hello, Broden.
How are you, mate?

Speaker 2 I'm good.

Speaker 2 Just letting you know I'm just down the line. I don't understand.
He's in the room. He's in the room.
He's just across the table from us. Yet he's experiencing quite

Speaker 2 the delay bunny. I love eggies.
We are going to made of chocolate. Now, are you talking over me because there's a delay? No.

Speaker 2 Great. Great.

Speaker 2 That's all I want to know. That's all I want to know.

Speaker 2 Broden's right here. He's sitting across from us.
Oh, the Easter bunny. Wow.
Okay, that's way.

Speaker 2 That's way too delayed. Would you agree? Yeah, I guess.

Speaker 2 I mean, I'm not a comedy guy, so you guys maybe figure out this thing and then I can come back if you want. No, no, I love loving your response times.
I think you and I.

Speaker 2 We steer this ship. Listen, no, I'm a wacky character.
I think you two steer the... Yep.
Well, Broden agrees. Broden says.
To be honest with you, I just feel like you're doing a bit.

Speaker 2 And I'm a wacky character that probably needed two straight guys. No, we can do two bit.

Speaker 2 He is being a straight guy. He's just...

Speaker 2 At different times delayed for it. I'm being a straight guy.
Well, don't call him Zach. That I'm just down.

Speaker 2 Mr. Bunny, I'm being a straight guy.
I'm just down the line. Yeah, no, that's great.

Speaker 2 I just don't think I'm equipped to

Speaker 2 riff off this bit while I'm talking about Chucky Eggs. Well, let's give it a go because if there's anything.

Speaker 2 Well, let's give it a go.

Speaker 2 Well,

Speaker 2 sorry. No, you're right.
Let's try because I believe this podcast at its core is about giving things a go. Giving things a red hot.

Speaker 2 Well,

Speaker 2 that was right on time that one

Speaker 2 yeah

Speaker 2 we can give things a red hot go and i reckon two bits one unhinged character and one man who is replying to things at random times yeah

Speaker 2 you reckon wait wait are you delayed no i'm just great you were just i'm processing this and this is the problem well i need you to know that anytime you're going to take any sort of dramatic or comedic pause I may assume it's...

Speaker 2 That's a scare shit here, right?

Speaker 2 I'm just a wacky character.

Speaker 2 That's fish here.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 What?

Speaker 2 What was that in reply to, Broden?

Speaker 2 Nope. Yep.
Now,

Speaker 2 Mr. Bunny.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 You

Speaker 2 love Chuck E. Eggs.
Yeah, I make them

Speaker 2 give them the kids. You give them the kids? Yeah.
Or do you hide them from kids? Oh, yeah, I guess. I don't know.
All right.

Speaker 2 What do you mean?

Speaker 2 I don't like, I don't know. I like hunts and stuff.
Yeah, but I'll give them the clues. It's just a bit of fun.
Yeah, you give them clues? Yeah, what are you accusing me of right now?

Speaker 2 Broden, are you going to.

Speaker 2 I just want to, and I come in. I think I'll just talk in big, long speeches so that it's not to intercut.
And sort of, that's really interesting about the Easter bunny. And yeah.

Speaker 2 Great. See, this can work.
Oh, yeah, I just, I can come back another time. No, no, no, no, no, no.
We've booked you out. We've scheduled this all out.
We can't can't just be changing.

Speaker 2 Should I step out?

Speaker 2 What? Should I.

Speaker 2 Should I log out? No. I can come back another time.
No. This is a good bit.
I don't want to. It's just, it feels like they're not additive characters.

Speaker 2 I think it is. You know, it just feels like I'm going to have to handle this.
Just try. All I'm asking is that you try.
Give it your all. You don't, people just give up so easily these days.

Speaker 2 This generation, they don't want to work. Yeah.
They just want to sit at home sipping their lattes,

Speaker 2 eating Coca-Cola. I bought my first house at four years old because I worked hard.
Tell them, Mark, about how you bought your house at four years. I literally am.

Speaker 2 Well, you're not going to get this for a bit yet.

Speaker 2 I'll let you just.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 And no one wants to try anything new.

Speaker 2 I'm happy to try, but it's just, there's not like a cork conceit to the character. I I was hoping to discover it.
A cork conceit? Are you a bottle of wine? No, I'm a bunny. Oh, right.

Speaker 2 What are you saying? What are you trying to say?

Speaker 2 Why would there be a cork conceit? Just a little joke. Yeah.
Mr. Bunny.
I can come back.

Speaker 2 I can come back. No one's leaving.

Speaker 2 He's shy. You're not fucking going anywhere.
And Broden's staying down the line. Oh, my God.
I will be damned.

Speaker 2 I will be damned if I let something like a wacky character who wasn't prepared for a delayed down-the-line bit. Lindsay, if you've just got some intense music like Mark's turned.

Speaker 2 I would not allow that to tear this podcast apart, okay? Yeah.

Speaker 2 I've got a bit of it. Not a heart out,

Speaker 2 but.

Speaker 2 That's right.

Speaker 2 Because I care about this podcast. Oh, it's McIntyre.
And I care about scheduling.

Speaker 2 And I won't let something like a hat on a hat on a hat destroy what we have here we're gonna persevere we're gonna push through and we're gonna make this the greatest easter podcast that ever was are you with me

Speaker 2 yes

Speaker 2 uh yeah if you want yeah that's what you've obviously that's what i want yeah i'm happy to stay around if you want yeah please

Speaker 2 That's what the sort of rousing speech was about. Yeah, no worries.
We can make it work. I'm busy though.
This is my busiest time of year. Yeah.
So I've got other things I can do. I'm making eggs.

Speaker 2 So you, so much like Santa's workshop. Now I didn't know this, man.

Speaker 2 Much like Santa's workshop. Very different.
In what way? I shit them out. You shit the eggs out.
Do they come shit it out in tinfoil? Shit them out.

Speaker 2 Yeah, shit them out. Yeah, shit them out.
See that work? Yeah, it's fun. Do you shit them out?

Speaker 2 And are they already wrapped in tinfoil?

Speaker 2 No. Shit him out, then I wrap it with my little paws.
Yeah. Whoa.
Whoa.

Speaker 2 Whoa, whoa.

Speaker 2 It's fine for Broden.

Speaker 2 Whoa.

Speaker 2 Broden, if you have a long speech that you'd like to give, you can do that now.

Speaker 2 Poo them out and then they're not covered in foil. This is crazy.
This is how the Easter bunny works. Not how I remember it.

Speaker 2 That's not how I remember it either. Do you have a team? Is that all right? Yeah, that was that was great.
Sorry. No, no, I'll just let you hear that.
That was great.

Speaker 2 Awesome. Great.

Speaker 2 This is a good bit. I feel like I'm getting in the way.
No, no, you're not. I swear you're not.
It's a funny bit, the delay, but he's in the room.

Speaker 2 But also, this character is fantastic. Well, it's not.
You know, it's one I gotta find. Do you shit out?

Speaker 2 I think you can find it in the delay. You just persevere.
This is what I want you to do. I want you to push through.
I can just come back next week. I'm going to, mate.
I can come back next week.

Speaker 2 We can talk to me then. Mate, I got a big rig behind me, right? Yeah.
And in that rig, I got two bits. I just don't want to get in the way.
This is a bit of a white. I'm behind the wheel.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 Lindsay, you got some sort of like rock and roll highway music, sort of. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 All right. So I'm in.
Oh, I'm driving this big rig. Yeah.
A podcast. Yeah.
And what am I hauling crust state?

Speaker 2 I'm all in two conflicting bits. Yeah.

Speaker 2 I got one man. Yeah.
He's down the line. He's delayed.
I got one heightened character, the Easter Bunny. Mr.
Bunny, shitting out eggs. That wheel, that big old wheel.

Speaker 2 I'm driving it down the highway. I'm looking out.
I'm seeing the savannah. I'm seeing...

Speaker 2 Joshua Tree. His name's Mark and he's on the road.

Speaker 2 The man's got two bits and he's going down Route 66. How you doing Doreen? He's a straight guy for two separate bits.

Speaker 2 He's Mark.

Speaker 2 Oh you want me to pull the horn? Yeah, alright.

Speaker 2 Two, two.

Speaker 2 I got this. I love Mark.
Mark ran into a kid. I know.

Speaker 2 I know.

Speaker 2 Wake up!

Speaker 2 And the kid got better. Oh,

Speaker 2 thank God I nursed him back from from death. Mark on the road with two conflicting bits.

Speaker 2 He's got two bits in his truck.

Speaker 2 Two bits that he's a straight guy for. One is a bit about a man on delay.

Speaker 2 The other is a bit about a bunny that shits eggs. And the one's about a man in delay.

Speaker 2 Those eggs are made of chocolate and he wraps them in foil with his little bunny paw. Gee, I'm getting hungry.

Speaker 2 I'm gonna pull over to this diner.

Speaker 2 Talk to my friends. Check the load.

Speaker 2 What'll you have, hun?

Speaker 2 What'll you have, hun?

Speaker 2 What have I?

Speaker 2 What have I got two waitresses serving me? Well, it's a big diner. And we're gonna get that order from you.

Speaker 2 Oh, I'm confused about what's going on.

Speaker 2 What's there to be confused about? This, the two-lady diner. Hey, hun, what can we get for you? What can we get for you, huh? All right, I'll get a...

Speaker 2 Let me just get a bunch of sides. Okay, is that two of all of them? All right.

Speaker 2 A bunch of sides, sure thing. Well, we don't do that like that around these parts.
Is that two of all of them? Do I make one order and I'll get it twice?

Speaker 2 Or do I need to order separate things from each of you and make two orders? I don't want to get the same thing twice. What's that there, honey? What do you mean two orders, honey?

Speaker 2 I think that, I think that...

Speaker 2 I think my waiter's also in the what? Zach's in delay. What, Zach's in delay? No, I'm not in delay, honey.
I just am not aware of the other waiter. Right.
Oh, right. I love that pick.
Right, okay.

Speaker 2 So I'm aware of that one.

Speaker 2 So here's this is the diner where one diner lady is aware of the other diner lady, but this diner lady is completely unaware that I exist and that this is a diner with two diner ladies.

Speaker 2 Does that make sense? It does make sense because I was thinking. But I'm a silly diner lady and I need a straight guy that can manage my conceit.

Speaker 2 It sounds deliberate. Oh,

Speaker 2 three well i was about to say i just got a call down from uh hq

Speaker 2 and hr but that one i'm ignoring at what channel v hq hq headquarters you me osher the rest the gang jabber gang jabber i got a call from jabber and they told me there was another uh another haul i needed to load into my truck a haul a haul yeah

Speaker 2 Are you the bit I've been looking for?

Speaker 2 Well,

Speaker 2 we've been looking.

Speaker 2 I know that we've been looking for a bit for a while honey i'm just a waitress i want to take your diner order i ain't no bit that she doesn't know we're doesn't know it's a bit yeah but deep down in her soul yeah yeah she's like ghost at bed at night she looks up at the stars on route 66 and she thinks i'm in a bit yeah does that mean i gotta tie her up chuck her in the truck because i gotta get talking about honey i ain't gonna be tied up by anyone except that idris elba he's something else she loves idris elba i

Speaker 2 I gotta get three

Speaker 2 bits after this commercial break.

Speaker 2 I gotta get maybe. I gotta get three bits down to Sacramento.
Now I only got two conflicting bits. Where'd you come from? In my trap.
From

Speaker 2 Tennessee. Okay.
How long's that? Cross country. What about Tennessee there, honey?

Speaker 2 Well, well, well, my love. What's your name? My love is Darlene.
My name is Darlene.

Speaker 2 I'm in a bit of trouble

Speaker 2 if you don't order soon, honey. Tell her.
I've got to make some tips today. To her left, there's always another diner waitress.
To your left.

Speaker 2 I don't know if you knew this, but there is always another diner waitress. What?

Speaker 2 To your left. Tell her to look to her left.
Look to your left. I don't see nothing.
Exactly. But I remember when I was a girl, I used to have a diner friend.

Speaker 2 And my parents told me I needed to pay that no mind.

Speaker 2 And I haven't seen that diner friend since I was 12. Get in my truck.
I'm not going to get in your truck, huh? Get in my truck. I'm not going to get in your truck.

Speaker 2 Can you see this from my perspective? Can you see this from my perspective? I've had a man come into my diner.

Speaker 2 He said, I've got a truck and I want to tie you up put it in he takes long strange breaks almost like he's on delay he sometimes responds it's a different bit he said well that's what it feels like to me well I know but if I know it feels that way because there is another what you don't realize is that you are in a bit because from my perspective tell him he's in a bit I am I am telling him he's in a bit

Speaker 2 that's all right wait wait a second you broden from the truck

Speaker 2 Sorry to jump in. It's Broden the delay bit from the truck.
Stay in the truck. What do you have, hon? No, I don't need that.

Speaker 2 You know. Wait.
I was just asserting who I am again. Okay, great.
Get in the truck, Broden. Can you imagine what that just looked like for me, honey? I can't even.
I honestly can't even.

Speaker 2 I must seem like a crazy person. Honey, I've seen some crazy types.
I'm working on a diner on Route 66. Yeah, and you're the craziest one I've seen.

Speaker 2 Well, what you don't understand is I'm actually sane. Tell them how you hit a kid before.

Speaker 2 I hit a kid before. What?

Speaker 2 I nursed him back to health. It's fine.
I was driving down on my way to Sacramento. You're in in the car.
In the car, my truck. Right.
You're in a bit. You don't know it.
What's the bit?

Speaker 2 The bit is you're a waitress. Yeah, there's a nurse at a diner.
Yeah, and there's another waitress. Tell them about me.
There's another. I'm

Speaker 2 telling him now. There's another waitress right next to you.
That's who I keep saying. What's she doing? She's trying to take my order and letting me know that she helped me work out the bit.

Speaker 2 So the bit is.

Speaker 2 What's the bit? So the bit. So I already got two bits.
I've got a heightened Easter character, Mr. Bunny, I think.
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 I've got a man doing an interview with

Speaker 2 the bunny. He's on delay, even though he's sitting across from us.

Speaker 2 Sure, sure, sure.

Speaker 2 In this diner.

Speaker 2 Is it the third bit?

Speaker 2 I got a waitress. That's you.
I'm Darlene. I work here at this diner and I love Idris Alberti.
Of course, I'd love a

Speaker 2 drinking him. Hey, well, what if I could tell you this?

Speaker 2 In my truck, I've got a PlayStation 5 hooked up to a TV with cyberpunk 2077's uh expansion base game and the expansion phantom liberty now do you know who the star of that game is no idris elver oh i love and now i believe in this game you can pick what kind of uh labia

Speaker 2 or doodle you want your character to have and i think you can potentially use those to have intercourse with either Idris or other people. Oh, I love that, Idris.
That's appropriate.

Speaker 2 Do you need to go and get it?

Speaker 2 I'm trying to get her into the truck. Coax her into the truck.
You're trying to coax her into the trick. Do you see how that looks from my perspective, right? I know, I'm just saying.

Speaker 2 Do you want to play this game?

Speaker 2 Coax me into the truck. You're telling me there's a picture, there's another waitress next to me, which is strange because I remember having a waitress friend when I was a girl.

Speaker 2 Lean into that, lean into that.

Speaker 2 Lean into that, lean into that.

Speaker 2 Lean into that.

Speaker 2 Right, well, that, well, well, that, um, uh, that, that, that small, that waitress friend. Say, get in the truck.

Speaker 2 What? You're not helping. Say, get in the truck.
Get in the truck. I'm sorry, I'm not afraid of you.
I know I look crazy to you. I know I look crazy to you.
Why would I get in the truck with you?

Speaker 2 Say, lean into that. Lean into that.
Lean into that. Lean into that.
Lean into what, honey?

Speaker 2 I'm at ideas. Do you want a coffee? Yeah, look, I'll get a coffee.
All right, one or two. No, not you.
Not the other waitress. The other waitress thinks I'm not.
I'm ordering.

Speaker 2 Honey, what do you mean, honey? All right, I'm going to prove to you. I'm going to prove to you you're in a bit.
I'm going to order a coffee. Great.
From two people, from two waitresses. You got it.

Speaker 2 I'll bring you a coffee. But you think there's only one waitress here, and that's you.
Oh, honey. So let's see how many coffees coming up on my side.
I'll ask you before we do that.

Speaker 2 You think that I would be able, I can't see this waitress. You think I'd be able to see any

Speaker 2 coffee she brings you?

Speaker 2 I'm fucking banking on it. I'm praying that that's the case.
So I'm going to bet what's going to happen here. All right.
She will bring you a second coffee. Uh-huh.

Speaker 2 But I will only see you drinking my coffee and occasionally mime drinking a coffee. Anything she brings to you is also not visible to me.

Speaker 2 Because

Speaker 2 are you sure? Wouldn't it be the case that these strange occurrences would have happened many times for me before? Maybe, maybe,

Speaker 2 but you may only exist because of the bit.

Speaker 2 Now that's interesting.

Speaker 2 So I have a full memory. I remember growing up.
I remember seeing a waitress friend until the age of 12. I remember a father that was there until I was 15.

Speaker 2 I remember a mother that looked after me but passed away when I was 23. The last thing I said to her before she crashed her car was not a nice thing, not a cruel thing, but not a nice thing.

Speaker 2 I've lived a full life. What you're telling me is all those memories,

Speaker 2 like the wind, will go as soon as the bid is over. And

Speaker 2 we're based on nothing. Absolutely.
Do you know how confronting that is for me? I can't even imagine. But if you want to know the truth,

Speaker 2 if you want to know the truth, it's a great framing. Get in the chat.
Lean into that. I am leaning into it.
Leaning into what?

Speaker 2 I'm leaning into the...

Speaker 2 If you want to know the truth, I'm leaning into the truth of the situation.

Speaker 2 And I'm banking on you being someone that needs to know whether your existence is based around a bit or whether these memories are yours. And there's one way to find out.

Speaker 2 How would you feel if, because who knows that maybe you're just a bit? There's no way I'm a bit. Maybe this is some sort of podcast

Speaker 2 where each week... I'm presuming I'm a bit on a podcast because this is a fair assumption.
This doesn't feel like it's been written. No.

Speaker 2 So, how would you feel? What if maybe there's a podcast where two ladies, two diner ladies pretend to be waitresses, one doesn't, I don't entirely understand, and they've created you.

Speaker 2 Maybe you are right now being played by

Speaker 2 some, you know, a comedian. Yeah, well, here's.

Speaker 2 So, this is going to really blow your mind because I am technically a bit.

Speaker 2 can you elaborate

Speaker 2 wow yeah yeah yeah

Speaker 2 delayed Broden just reacted to that can I see him yeah yeah delayed Broden and and Mr. Bunny come in here I go to the truck I

Speaker 2 open up the back of the truck I get them to come out He's become D and D. Are you actually going to go and get them or are you just going to tell me what you're doing? Oh, sorry.

Speaker 2 See, I kind of started another bit where i go and i get people anyway it's how many bits are we per person uh around depends what you consider a bit because i'm half a bit what depends on what i consider a bit on what i consider a bit but what are you saying about what i was replying to someone else and what did they ask you i can't i genuinely can't remember how many bits are there how many bits are there how many bits are there yeah look to my mind there's two bits in the trunk okay there's the bit of the two waitresses i would even say the fact that i'm not aware of the fact that i'm one of the two waitresses is a

Speaker 2 bit of a significant thing. And I think there's a third bit in our circle here, getting you to five bits, which is this sort of

Speaker 2 what is real Plato's cave layer that we're adding. Something that I'd love to dig into.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then there's the bit that I'm doing a podcast.

Speaker 2 Now, this is the bit you're about to explain to me. This is the bit that might be.
You're about to explain to me why you are technically a bit.

Speaker 2 Yes, the difference is that I am fully self-aware, that I am in a bit,

Speaker 2 doing a bit about having too many bits. I stopped listening.
I really. You got it.

Speaker 2 You've got to click in on this, man. It's too much for my simple brain to keep a hold of.
I know. Is your friend here aware that they're a bit?

Speaker 2 Which one? The one that I can't see. Yes, tell her yes.
Yes.

Speaker 2 And tell me, can you ask your friend? Yeah.

Speaker 2 Are they, do they, are they,

Speaker 2 do they have the memories the way I do? Tell her, I have lived my life knowing that I have a diner waitress partner. They've lived their life knowing they have a diner waitress partner.
And

Speaker 2 all of her memories I have seen next to her. And they've seen all your memories.
So they can hear you, by the way.

Speaker 2 Oh, okay. So I'll just ask them directly and then you can just repeat.
Yeah. Where are they?

Speaker 2 Directly next to you. Directly next to you.
Stick your arm out. Just say that's stick your arm out.
That's in their bosom. Oh, okay.
I'd like to ask you a question now. Okay.
Okay. Okay.
Sure.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 2 You were just saying through our friend, what's your name? Mark. Mark.
You're just saying through our friend Mark that we share memories.

Speaker 2 Now, I believe what Mark is telling us is that those memories are fake, that we've only been existing for as soon as you came into the diner. Yes.

Speaker 2 So we've only existed for the last 20 minutes and we stop existing as soon as the bit is over. Are you aware of that?

Speaker 2 That is a fun thought for me, but I don't know the I can't break apart that at the level of existence that I live at.

Speaker 2 I only understand what has been given to me by my creator, whether that be the imagination of a sweet boy in a podcast room or some sort of higher creator.

Speaker 2 I believe I have the memories of a 33-year-old woman.

Speaker 2 They're talking for a bit, aren't they?

Speaker 2 I have the memories of a 33-year-old woman who has lived a whole life raised, knowing that there is a donor lady with me who is not aware of my existence, thus, but, and my life is repeated efforts to explain to the wider community that there are two of us, one of whom does not aware of the other one.

Speaker 2 Hold on. It's still going.
Whether that is real or fake is

Speaker 2 as unknown to me as why we are here as humans itself. Why a normal person not inside a bit exists.

Speaker 2 Why we are all here. It is as simple as that.
It is as more complex than that, but at the same time, as complex as that.

Speaker 2 no

Speaker 2 that's what they said well look they hadn't i think they had like an existential breakdown during their answer

Speaker 2 kind of like summing it up that i think the answer is is no no they're only aware they don't

Speaker 2 well i asked them how they feel about it i think oh did you ask how do you feel about that question how do you feel about that

Speaker 2 i feel

Speaker 2 that you might only be 20 seconds that you might have only existed for 10 minutes i mean in the same way that someone would feel about an excess the question of existential, you know, existing, you know, like at points I feel happy and freed by that.

Speaker 2 At points I feel sad. At points I feel helpless.
But that is all part of being a human. And in fact, that roller coaster of emotion one feels to whether they exist or not is

Speaker 2 living. Mixed feelings.

Speaker 2 That's all. That's all they say.
They have mixed feelings. Look, I can't.
It's a lot. They're rambling.
You can't see it from our perspective here, man. Like,

Speaker 2 I know that maybe that's not the funniest thing for you to do is to directly repeat everything this person says. Yeah.
Well, it's just difficult because it's a lot.

Speaker 2 And my short-term memory is pretty cooked. So I'm just trying to wrap it all up in a nice little package for you.
Get her on the truck. Get on the truck.
I'd rather not.

Speaker 2 You can get on the truck and you can take the other waitress, I think.

Speaker 2 I don't know. I don't know.
I might get fined if I only bring them two bits and a half. I'm scheduled to arrive in Sacramento

Speaker 2 with three bits what's in it for me um you get to play uh the phantom liberty expansion on subpunk 27

Speaker 2 with idris elbas uh i don't yeah idris elbers dick i don't know if you get to see it oh i love him yeah i love that idris elba come have a play he's a tall glasser man the controllers are charged we got the pulse elite 3d headphones there all right hell yeah hit it hit it let's get on the road

Speaker 2 getting behind my big wheel.

Speaker 2 Opening up that door, climbing up.

Speaker 2 Mark and his

Speaker 2 three

Speaker 2 little bits.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Mark and his three little bits.

Speaker 2 Arguably five if you want to break up the third bit into three bits. Don't forget the truck driving bit.
It's a bit on over time. Yeah.
Six bits in total. You didn't need the waitresses at all.

Speaker 2 Well, I can sell the extra bits on the side of the road. Make some extra cash that way.
Mark, explain to us how this bit

Speaker 2 about you driving all the bits is also

Speaker 2 on the truck.

Speaker 2 What?

Speaker 2 So what you're saying...

Speaker 2 Well, I believe the bit...

Speaker 2 I believe this bit is that you're driving to Sacramento with all the bits. Don't start another bit.
You come back in the truck. This isn't a bit I just left.

Speaker 2 Song and I are in die starting to get into dialogue. That becomes another bit.
I don't know if I've got...

Speaker 2 Keep going, keep going. Don't want to get too complicated.
Just want to understand how this truck bit,

Speaker 2 the bit about you driving a truck with bits in the back of the truck, how that bit is also the bit

Speaker 2 How that bit is also a bit that is on the truck

Speaker 2 Oh, the Grand Canyon

Speaker 2 Does that not create a sort of portal?

Speaker 2 Like a loop, a logic loop. How can it be a bit? I'm imagining this bit's in a bubble.
Uh-huh.

Speaker 2 And then in the back of the truck is that bubble. And if you step into that bubble in the back of the truck, you come out looking at the truck from above with the bubble,

Speaker 2 creating an infinite loop. Does that make sense? The way I see it, little boy,

Speaker 2 hit it.

Speaker 2 Hit it.

Speaker 2 The way I see it, little boy, is a bit is made in pure joy. When people start talking, doing silly things,

Speaker 2 a bit is made, a ring-a-ding-ding.

Speaker 2 Bits are made here and there.

Speaker 2 They're kind of pulled from anywhere. A bit I've got is a bit that's yours.

Speaker 2 And a bit that's mine is a bit that's yours.

Speaker 2 And a bit that's yours is a bit that's yours.

Speaker 2 And a bit that's mine is a bit that's yours and a bit that's mine is a bit that's yours and a bit that's yours is a bit that's yours and a bit that's mine is a bit that's yours and

Speaker 2 how a bit can be inside its own bit

Speaker 2 like taking a wormhole entrance through the wormhole

Speaker 2 Let me tell you about that. Yeah, a bit is a bit

Speaker 2 as a matter of fact. Is a bit is mine? A bit is mine.
A bit is divine.

Speaker 2 A bit is divine. You can't get it now.
Yeah. Yeah, I gotta stop thinking so literally.
That's right. If a bit is yours.
A bit is mine. Then a bit is yours.
If that bit is yours. If a bit is mine.

Speaker 2 Then that bit is yours. And that bit is fine.
If a bit is yours. So this bit that's in the bit.

Speaker 2 Its own bit. It doesn't matter.
Well, a bit can be inside another bit.

Speaker 2 And in that bit is another bit. And that bit's yours.
And that bit's mine. But that bit's yours.
Can I just ask, bro?

Speaker 2 Yeah, I just need to explain who the bits are. Who the bits belong to?

Speaker 2 It's yours. Broden, I gotta ask you, do you understand

Speaker 2 my confusion here?

Speaker 2 I understand. Sorry, can we get that song going again? Yeah, absolutely.
How you guys going, by the way? You're good, good. Yeah, good.
It's a long drive to Sacramente. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 And I'm very confused.

Speaker 2 What was the question again?

Speaker 2 Brayden,

Speaker 2 I'm struggling to get a straight answer from this man driving the truck. I want to understand from you if you can see where my confusion lies.

Speaker 2 I

Speaker 2 struggle to keep focus when that stuff's happening.

Speaker 2 I only know one thing in life, and that's when you have a bit. It's mine and it's yours.
A bit is mine

Speaker 2 that's one big rick

Speaker 2 a bit is yours a bit is mine a bit is yours and that's just divine

Speaker 2 okay yeah a bit is yours do around bit is yours if a bit is mine and a bit is mine

Speaker 2 is what a bit is yours try and get a round going well yeah right well what a bit is yours

Speaker 2 no don't sing in a round singing the round so wait do you do two bits? I'll do a bit and then you start my bit

Speaker 2 a bar after I do mine. I'm happy to do the bit round.
That is a bit, it is a bit. Yeah, well, no, can we just say it's a, we're having confusion? I don't want to add another bit to this.

Speaker 2 I'm happy to do that bit round, but I just want to get Broden's thoughts on this bit paradigm. The bit is yours, and the bit is mine.

Speaker 2 But that bit that's mine is a bit that's yours, and there's a bit that's mine is a bit that's yours, cause the bit that's yours, it's yours is mine, the

Speaker 2 The bit is mine. Now you're doing out there in the back.
Hey, Soprono,

Speaker 2 let me explain it in the simplest terms why I'm confused about this bit truck.

Speaker 2 My understanding is,

Speaker 2 yeah, can we just loop that song around again? If that's possible, and then I'll just ask the question and you can let me know what you're saying. Wide open roads, all I need.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I'll get that. Market is bits.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 That was a good face. Marcus.

Speaker 2 Marcus talked and bit his bottom lip and looked to the ground.

Speaker 2 What are you thinking? I disassociated for a little bit. Think about what bits? Are mine and yours? Because

Speaker 2 your bit's yours.

Speaker 2 But that bit's mine.

Speaker 2 Because your bit is yours.

Speaker 2 But you're not. No, no, no, I don't think you do.
I think you're not going to be a bit of a mindset. No,

Speaker 2 I only am confused about one little bit, one little bit about your bits.

Speaker 2 Are you confused about whether the bit is yours? Because that bit is yours, but it's also yours. Mine.
What it is right now is I think it's described as a category error.

Speaker 2 So, what you've described is you

Speaker 2 every bit,

Speaker 2 every bit that is yours, and every

Speaker 2 that is ours All of those bits eventually they go to the back of your bit truck Bit truck going to Sacramento All it down for HQ

Speaker 2 But one of your bits is this very bit The bit truck driving to Sacramento So if that is a bit the bit truck Is that bit on the back of the truck? Yes. How is that bit? Yes.

Speaker 2 The bit about the bit truck on the back of the truck when it's both the bit that the truck. Let me break it down for you, wall.
Yeah. It's a bit that's yours.
Is a bit that's yours.

Speaker 2 Get that part about the bit.

Speaker 2 But if you listen to the bit who the bit bullet. Let's get it.
Let's get that track rolling. Let's get that track rolling again.
Get that again. Because I'm getting pretty close to understanding.

Speaker 2 I think I'm pretty clear on what's going on here. Niagara Falls.
Oh, beautiful. In Canada.
Yeah, pulling that. Yeah, I'm going a long way around.
You really do it.

Speaker 2 You've looped back around to the East Coast. Okay.
Now, the best way to explain. So the truck bit.
Okay, yeah, the truck bit. That's the bit.
The truck bit happened.

Speaker 2 Just from driving this big old rig. We're kind of in that bit right now.
I suppose. We're in that bit.
But that bit is mine. It's also yours.
Yeah, sure. Because your bit's yours.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 But your bit's yours. Okay.
And that bit that's his. That bit is mine.
Yeah. But your bit's yours.
I got it. I got it.

Speaker 2 But your bitch. I fucking got it.
I've got the the bit ownership part. Got that clear.
And I've also understand this delivery bit. And you're delivering bits.

Speaker 2 Everything's clear except this one little bit.

Speaker 2 The bit is both in its own bit. Well, here's what's really gonna blow your mind is the truck bits in the back of another truck.
And that truck's not a bit at all. Because that bit

Speaker 2 after all. So this bit, the truck bit bit, isn't in the back of its own truck, bit.

Speaker 2 Only bit that isn't yours. Nor is it mine, nor is it yours.

Speaker 2 That bit belongs to the truck driver there, who's out driving west over there. Do you understand

Speaker 2 my bit confusion? It's like taking a hole and putting it in a hole. Then that hole contains a hole

Speaker 2 into the hole, you know? Do you understand that? Yes.

Speaker 2 What's your answer to it? It's I understand it.

Speaker 2 We've arrived

Speaker 2 at Sacramento. Sacramento.
Oh, hey there. Hey there.
It's me. I'm the bit.
I'm the bit.

Speaker 2 I'm the bit buyer. I see here a mighty fine truck full of bits.
And I bet I'm... Are you originally from Sacramento or did you move here? I'm originally from Texas.

Speaker 2 I moved to Sacramento. You have a Texan accent.
Looking for gold. It's more like a foghorn leghorn.
Oh, yeah, yes. Yes, it is.
Yeah, I'm originally from Alabama. Okay, great.

Speaker 2 Now it's all making sense. Now, I'm here to buy your bits.
But first, I need to log each bit in my bit log book. And to wrap us, close us out, you read all the bits.

Speaker 2 I'm going to go through all the bits.

Speaker 2 Now, let me tell you, if there's any confusion,

Speaker 2 if there's any lack of clarity on any of these bits,

Speaker 2 I won't be buying any of your bits. Well, so if anyone on your drive asked any complicated questions,

Speaker 2 did it? I just want to put in a little request in one second, sir. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 To the team at listener, can you make some sort of post like Auntie Donna have reveal crazy thing about bits as a social media post? You mean like how, yeah, how they do bits, how they

Speaker 2 did Auntie Donna reveal crazy

Speaker 2 secret about bits. Hey, sorry, go on.

Speaker 2 Was that a bit? Yeah. I'll pop that down.
Number one, Auntie Donna bit bit. I've been keeping a, I keep a very

Speaker 2 thorough

Speaker 2 log. Oh, that's important.
Of my bits. Yeah.

Speaker 2 So don't worry. There's going to be no confusion.
I just go through the log right now. First bit off the rank.

Speaker 2 I'm doing a podcast, and my friend who's sitting across the table from me, he's got a delay down the line. Well, that's a fine bit.
It's the farmest bit I ever heard. I'll pay top dollar for that bit.

Speaker 2 Incredible bit. Bit number one.
What so far? Bit number two.

Speaker 2 We've got a heightened character coming in.

Speaker 2 Mr. Bunny

Speaker 2 onto the podcast. That's the second bit.
And did he find his hook?

Speaker 2 Well, he didn't get the chance to, which leads us to the third bit. Oh, the third bit.
The third bit was that it was just a bit frustrating having the two bits that didn't quite align.

Speaker 2 And that became its own bit. Ah, good bit.
Great bit. Next bit.
Bit number four. Bit number four.

Speaker 2 Not sure how this bit happened.

Speaker 2 Can't remember. But I had to haul those bits down to Sacramento from Tennessee.
The bit we're in right now.

Speaker 2 Uh, yes.

Speaker 2 Yes. A long-standing bit.
Long bit. Long bit.
But within that bit, there are many other bits. Oh, that's a fantastic bit.
But wait a second. That bit's on the back of this truck?

Speaker 2 Well, no.

Speaker 2 That bit's on the back of a different truck. That's not a bit.
So I can't can't log that bit. You can log that bit.
I'd just log it last.

Speaker 2 But didn't you say that all the bits are on the back of your truck?

Speaker 2 What? So you're telling me on the back of that truck is me

Speaker 2 logging the bits? Well, yeah, yeah. No, no, no, not on the back of that truck.
Another truck. The back of a different truck that you can't see.
That's the real truck going to Sacramento.

Speaker 2 So is this bit...

Speaker 2 Do I need to log this bit? I would log it. I would log it.
I would log it. But it's not on the back of your truck.
No.

Speaker 2 Yes.

Speaker 2 So it is on the back of your truck. No.
This truck, yes.

Speaker 2 No, this bit is not on the back of that truck. Oh, my mistake.
If I spit into... Well, no, if it is on the back of his truck, if I step into that bit, is then there two me's? Two bits is fine.

Speaker 2 Just buy the two bits. Just buy the two bits.
I'll give you $50 for all the bids. 50 bucks? Well, yes, $50, all the bids.
Excluding this paradoxical bid.

Speaker 2 I think that will get a lot of money from those hare-brained people down in California where... The market's a great deal.
You've got to take it.

Speaker 2 That doesn't even cover the diesel to get me from Tennessee to Sacramento. Let me tell you, nobody is buying a paradoxical bit in these parts for more than $50.
You give me $100,

Speaker 2 I'll give you both bits, and I'll give you the big bit

Speaker 2 that's got lots of little bits in it. And you can mine that for those bits.

Speaker 2 It's an infinite loop of bits. I know.
My God, you're right. I'll give you $100.

Speaker 2 And that's the story. How much was the diesel then? Why was the diesel? The $50 didn't cover the diesel.
So what's $100 cover?

Speaker 2 I make about $45. So it's $55

Speaker 2 for the diesel.

Speaker 2 Yeah, $45.

Speaker 2 But this is set in

Speaker 2 1809, so that's going to get me very far. That's a big thing.
Get a lunch after this. Yeah.
Here I come. Yep.
Yeah. And the boys, give me some music, Lindsay.

Speaker 2 I wonder what it'll be.

Speaker 2 Fingers crossed, it's exciting. And the boys went to McDonald's for lunch.
Hi, welcome to McDonald's. No, no, no, no, no.
And they all lived happily ever after. No.

Speaker 2 The boys all lived happily ever after.

Speaker 2 I'll get a double cheese next week.

Speaker 2 Next week,

Speaker 2 the boys go to Africa. What are we going to get at Macca's?
