Speaker 0 We're not here.
Speaker 0 Sh don't shh don't
Speaker 0 sh stop it.
Speaker 1 Why are you doing that?
Speaker 1 Put it away.
Speaker 1 No.
Speaker 1 That's not okay.
Speaker 1 it's very important for us to have boundaries
Speaker 1 what's going on hello everyone
Speaker 1 we're doing our we're not here because we're not here yes we're not here we're not here there's no episode today and no episodes for the rest of the month it's our month off yes
Speaker 1 we've got to we've got to find the content somewhere so we go out looking for content for the next month, don't we? Do we?
Speaker 1 And then we bring it back. Well, we have life experiences, Ben, which sort of feeds into
Speaker 1 Henry will be
Speaker 1 translating some of Camus
Speaker 1 childhood poetry into NFTs.
Speaker 1 That's right.
Speaker 1 And selling them on the dark web.
Speaker 1 I'm also still working on my reverse Camel Bear. That's a
Speaker 1 well,
Speaker 1 it's a hot mess at the moment. It's gone.
Speaker 1 Yeah, the Trebmanuk.
Speaker 1 What is it? A hot-baked udder? It's a ball of soft cheese with a hard rind core.
Speaker 1 It's
Speaker 1 all encasing a small wooden cabinet.
Speaker 1 And actually, what happens is
Speaker 1 it's one of those classic things where it's a surprisingly good deal, but what you make the money off is the cabinet door handle replacements.
Speaker 1
You absolutely rinse people on the cabinet door handle replacements. Yeah.
But it's a lost leader at the moment. How about you might quote you spending your November doing? That's a tricky one.
Speaker 1 I was thinking about dusting off the old Sabutio. Okay.
Speaker 1 And
Speaker 1 seeing if it can be adapted for
Speaker 1 battle recreation purposes, that sort of thing.
Speaker 1 Well, because you've had the idea of doing giant Sabutio for Stagdo's, haven't you? That's right. Yes.
Speaker 1 It's the flick that I can't quite master yet. It's the flick, isn't it?
Speaker 1 A flicky finger that can flick an 18-stone divorcee, for example.
Speaker 1 It's tricky, isn't it? Gearing towards the second marriage.
Speaker 1 Because
Speaker 1 it's got to be big enough to send him on a decent run down the wing,
Speaker 1
but also without blasting off any of his limbs at the same time. That's right.
And he has got
Speaker 1 early signs of osteoarthritis already, hasn't he, this time?
Speaker 1 so but it's it but it's all beta it's all beta phase stuff isn't it with us it's prototypes it's when we work on our beta phase stuff yeah so yeah particularly yeah november in particular yeah november especially
Speaker 1 uh ben you still how's the chorizo helmet going to helmet i've actually given up on
Speaker 1 yeah it's a shame
Speaker 1 because even though i i i got it to a stage where i was able to fry it so it was so crispy that it would repel a a spear yeah or a or a bullet yeah or any form of missile or audience yeah
Speaker 1
When you do fry chorizo that perfectly, it's impossible for the soldier not to take it off and start eating it. Yes.
Even in the heat. No matter how disciplined those troops are.
Exactly. Yeah.
Speaker 1 And also for safety, you had to wear a hard hat. It was a hard hat area, wasn't it? That the area where you're working on the chorizo helmet was itself a hard hat area, wasn't it?
Speaker 1
Well, I was wearing a chorizo helmet. Yeah.
So it's very hard to keep track of which ones are the real ones, which from the safety ones, wasn't it?
Speaker 1 And no one wants an overdone chorizo helmet, do they? But again, that's why we need to work on the beta phase stuff. That's what November's about.
Speaker 1 So, you know, as a listener, maybe you have your own beta projects to work on. If you don't, and you do want some three-bean salad,
Speaker 1 I mean, we've actually been turning little porky pies, haven't we? Because alongside our beta testing, we are actually making some Patreon episodes.
Speaker 1 There'll be a new episode out on Patreon every week for the whole of November. Oh,
Speaker 1 it's true. And on the topic of little porky pies, Mike, how are your little porky pies going?
Speaker 1
Getting smaller every day. Thank you.
And they're porky. They're not not fully pork, are they? They're porky.
Speaker 1 I've been told I can't call them pork pies. You can't call them pork pies.
Speaker 1 I tried pork-esque pork pies, but that didn't focus well. So we're
Speaker 1 pork leaning. Yeah,
Speaker 1 pork adjacent.
Speaker 1 Mike was in the act pork-adjacent flans.
Speaker 1 It's what they now legally have to be called. Then they legally have to be signed off as that.
Speaker 1 But they are tiny, yeah.
Speaker 1
Or PAFs, isn't it? Pork adjacent flans. Yeah, so they're paths.
Yeah, the nanopaths. We're on to nanopaths at the moment.
Speaker 1 That's right. And you've had to clear that with the estate of Eddie Piaf, haven't you?
Speaker 1 Eddie Piaf, Edith Piaf's nephew.
Speaker 1
The least successful baritone saxophonist in Paris. Yeah.
Yeah, he's had a rough old time. And he's got a lot of regrets.
Speaker 1 Also, last word on my wet crackers idea.
Speaker 1
Still impossible. But watch this space.
But so far, this seat still seems to be impossible to do.
Speaker 1 Think of those Guinness World records that are going to be broken when we can have wet crackers at last.
Speaker 1
So yeah, there we go. We'll see you in December, or we'll see you over on Patreon.
Come on, guys.
Speaker 1 Yeah, there's so much great content on Patreon, isn't it? We've just done a film corner episode, which is an episode where we talk about a film about the worst film I think we've ever done.
Speaker 1 That's right, not even in a fun way, just a very, very bad film. It's called The Titfield Thunderbolt, and if you watch it, it's free on iPlayer.
Speaker 1 You'll have such a bad time that you'll have to join Patreon just in order to kind of exorcise the demons
Speaker 1
and listen, isn't it, by listening to us talk about it? Yeah, yes. So, um, yeah, have a look over there.
But there's also lots of back episodes, all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 1 There's got to be hours and hours and hours of content by now, surely. Oh, yeah,
Speaker 1 a good fortnight, I reckon, probably. Go back to life, solid fortnight, yeah, and a slightly ropey three weeks.
Speaker 1
All right. See you next time.
Bye. Bye.
Bye.
